JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

This article is about the 1993 and 2000 OVA series. For the 2014 anime adaptation, see Stardust Crusaders.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken) is an OVA adaptation of Stardust Crusaders, produced by Studio A.P.P.P..

The original six-episode series in 1993 begins with Jotaro, Joseph, Avdol, Kakyoin, and Polnareff in the Egyptian desert on their quest to find DIO (Volume 20 in the manga). The series offers very little exposition, assuming the viewer is already familiar with the backstory and first half of Stardust Crusaders. A prequel seven-episode series was released in 2000, offering an explanation for those unfamiliar with the story in the previous series. It starts at the beginning of Stardust Crusaders with Joseph arriving at Japan to explain Jotaro's strange behavior (Volume 13 in the manga).

Super Techno Arts published the 2000 series from 2003 to early 2004 before putting the publication on indefinite hiatus, eventually releasing the 1993 series throughout the latter half of 2005.

Manga-to-OVA Differences

The story of Part 3 was largely omitted; the majority of Stand battles from the manga are removed in the OVAs.
In the OVAs, Enya can use Justice to transform herself into an attractive young woman. In addition, the flesh bud that kills her is not triggered by Steely Dan.
In the manga, after Jotaro is freed from jail, he, Joseph, Avdol, and Holy discuss DIO's whereabouts at a cafe. In the OVA, they discuss DIO's location at Holy's house.
In the manga, Jotaro fights Kakyoin in the school infirmary. In the OVA, they fight in a nearby forest. In addition, the subject possessed by Hierophant Green has been changed from the school doctor to a female student.
The group doesn't meet Polnareff in Hong Kong like in the manga. Instead, they meet him inside Strength. In addition, Polnareff was not controlled by one of DIO's flesh bud parasites.
In the manga, Jotaro defeats Forever by pummeling him with Star Platinum. In the OVA, Forever is instead sliced in half by Polnareff's Silver Chariot.
The group's visit to Singapore is completely removed.
Nena appears as an ordinary person.
Avdol reunites with the group during the fight with Enya, rather than during the fight with Cameo like in the manga.
Hol Horse does not reappear after being hurt by Enya.
Jotaro discovers Enya's identity with a method similar to the one he used on the Impostor Captain Tennille in the manga.
Iggy keeps a consistent appearance throughout the OVA.
There is a scene depicting the Aztec tribe sacrificing a young woman for the Aztec Chief's Stone Mask. This scene is originally seen in the introduction to the Phantom Blood manga.
Daniel J. D'Arby provides his full name. In the manga, this is provided by his brother.
After D'Arby is defeated, he gives away the location of DIO's mansion, but goes completely insane before he can reveal the secret of DIO's Stand; in the manga, he goes insane before he can reveal either piece of information.
Kakyoin does not rejoin the group before they enter DIO's mansion. Instead, he arrives just in time to save Joseph from DIO.
Nukesaku is omitted from the story, causing the scene where DIO's coffin is opened to be significantly different: The protagonists find it on their own, only to find Avdol inside when he opens it with Magician's Red. DIO appears before everyone on one side of the room and congratulates them for their efforts, before warning that someone is coming for them. Avdol then pushes Polnareff and Iggy away, at which point he is instantly killed by Cream.
Much of the battle with Vanilla Ice is cut in the OVA. Iggy dies by having his lower body erased by Cream, and then kicked and beaten by Ice rather than simply dying of blood loss from a beating.
Vanilla Ice's death is changed as well. Rather than exposing him to the sun, Polnareff kills Ice by stabbing him rapidly and slicing his head in two.
The fight between Jotaro and DIO is changed drastically. In the manga, DIO figures out Jotaro can move in stopped time when he sees his fingers twitching. In the OVA, he finds out when Jotaro survives being punched by The World in stopped time. Their battle also demonstrates extra scenes involving pure physical action as the two wreak havoc on the city of Cairo, with a number of civilian casualties on DIO's part.
DIO drops an oil tanker on Jotaro instead of a road roller, jumping off when it explodes.
Joseph does not pretend to be DIO when revived in the OVA, nor does Jotaro quiz him with questions about movies or music. His revival happens off-screen.
In the OVA, DIO's ashes are dropped and scattered from a plane of the Speedwagon Foundation above the sea instead of being exposed to sunlight at ground level towards the Sahara desert.
Joseph puts on a Gipsy Kings tape in the OVA while in the manga he puts on "Get Back" by The Beatles.

Controversy

Main article: A.P.P.P.

Shueisha Apology

DIO reading the Quran

Mosque removed

In May 2008, both Studio A.P.P.P. and Shueisha halted OVA/manga shipments of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure after a complaint had been launched against them from Egyptian Islamic fundamentalists, after noticing a scene in the OVAs that had the villain, DIO, reading a book depicting pages from the Qur'an.^[1] This recall affected the English-language release of the manga as well, causing Viz Media and Shueisha to cease publication for a year. Even though the manga did not feature that specific scene, Shueisha had Araki redraw scenes that depicted characters fighting on top of, and destroying, mosques.^[1] Viz resumed publication a year later, with the eleventh volume being published on April 7, 2009, though distribution of the OVA had been permanently cancelled.^[2]

The controversy was such that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs addressed the issue in an official report about this incident.

Trivia

Satoshi Kon (writer and director of films such as Perfect Blue, Paprika, Millenium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers) was involved with the production of some of the 1993 OVA episodes.
The OVA makes a brief appearance in an ad for Shonen Jump by VIZ Media, possibly in a review for the release of the first DVD by SuperTechnoArts.
During production of the 2000 OVA, Studio A.P.P.P. had considered using traditional cel animation like the 1993 OVA, before it was changed to digital color in the final version.^[4]
N'Doul's French voice actor, Emmanuel Gradi, will later voice Kars in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation.
