Prólogo (プロローグ, Purorōgu), originalmente Dio el Invasor (侵略者ディオ, Shinryakusha Dio) en las ediciones WSJ y tankobon, es el primer capítulo de Phantom Blood/es y el primer capítulo de la serie de manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure/es.

Resumen

En algún momento entre los siglos XII y XVI, un antiguo ritual Aztec tiene lugar en México, donde un hombre que lleva una Máscara de Piedra sacrifica a una mujer joven, apuñalándola en el pecho. Su sangre salpica la máscara y de ella brotan púas óseas que atraviesan la cabeza del hombre. A pesar de ello, sigue vivo y grita a su público que ha conseguido la vida eterna. Al pedir a uno de los miembros de su tribu que sacrifique su fuerza vital, los dedos del enmascarado perforan el cuello de su subordinado y le drenan la sangre. La narración cuenta la repentina desaparición histórica de esta gran tribu y los misterios que quedan en torno a la Máscara, así como el futuro destino que depara a dos jóvenes.

En el año 1880, Dario Brando, un anciano en su lecho de muerte, le cuenta a su hijo, Dio, la deuda que un hombre tiene con él. Recuerda que en 1868, él y una acompañante tropezaron con un accidente de carruaje cuando venían de un bar, y decidieron robar objetos de valor de los cadáveres. Extrañado, descubre una Máscara de Piedra, pero la desprecia por repugnante. Sin que Darío lo supiera, el padre George Joestar había sobrevivido al accidente, al igual que su hijo pequeño, Jonathan, aunque su esposa había muerto protegiendo al bebé. Pensando que Darío había venido a salvarlos, George ofreció a Darío una recompensa por su "bondad".

En el presente, Darío le dice a Dio que envíe por correo cierta carta a la Joestars, ya que está seguro de que George acogería a Dio como cumplimiento de su deuda. No mucho después, Darío muere. De pie frente a la tumba de su padre, Dio recuerda todas las fechorías del hombre hacia él y su madre, y como "despedida", escupe sobre la tumba. Promete a su padre que se aprovechará de los Joestars para ascender en la escala social y convertirse en la persona más exitosa que pueda ser, por sí mismo y no por Darío.

At a different location, two boys have stolen the Erina's Doll of Erina, a young girl, bullying her. However, a third youth appears and comes to her rescue, only to be easily overpowered by the other two. His nose bloodied, the boy pulls out a handkerchief with his name embroidered on it: Jonathan Joestar. The bullies, spiteful of the privilege he has as a rich person, beat Jonathan up further. In the end, he is able to get Erina's doll back, but when Erina attempts to check on him, he slaps her hand away, claiming he helped her in order to be a true gentleman and not for her thanks. He exclaims that if he is to someday win against his adversaries, he must have courage to help those in need, even if at a disadvantage. As he leaves, Erina picks up the embroidered, dirty handkerchief he had forgotten behind, and ponders about his gentlemanliness.

When Jonathan returns home, a carriage arrives, carrying Dio. Jonathan promptly introduces himself to the boy who will now be living with him and his father, referring to himself as "JoJo". Jonathan's dog, Danny, appears, and Jonathan beckons him over to introduce him as well. However, Dio brutally knees Danny in the jaw without warning, shocking and infuriating Jonathan. Internally, Dio begins devising his plan to psychologically and physically torture Jonathan in order to remain the sole heir of the Joestar fortune.

Trivia

Chapter 1 typo.jpg
  • There is a typographical error where Jonathan uses the line "Nani o suru da" (何をするだァーッ) instead of "Nani o surun da" (何をするんだァーッ). This error was not fixed for 15 years until the 66th printing, and has since been replicated in other works such as All-Star Battle. The Phantom Blood PS2 game fixes the typo, but uses the original erroneous line in Story and Chapter Mode once Story Mode has been beaten once. The error became somewhat popular among Japanese fans.[4]
  • During Dio's first appearance, he is seen to be reading a copy of Gorgeous Irene, one of Araki's earlier works.
