Trivia

  • It is unknown how much of the manga the anime will cover, but during the preview reel, all eight JoJo's seen thus far were featured. In addition, the show has already been commissioned for at least 26 episodes, of which less than half would be needed to cover Phantom Blood, if the first episode's pacing is any indication.
  • In the second episode when the opening is revealed, Manga panels can be seen, showing Jolyne,Josuke,Jotaro and Joseph.This could be another hint about the lenght of the anime.In this case Part VI would be the end. Since SBR is another version of part I,could be assumed this can be a reason to not appear in this "reverse timeline"
  • The Ending of each episode so far shows the characters featured in that episode.
