JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Phantom Blood
ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 ファントム ブラッド
Synopsis
This entry refers to the 2007 film, not to be mistaken for the initial story arc of the 2012 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure TV anime series, which also carries the title Phantom Blood, nor for the movie-format re-edit of that same first season compiled from the 2012 TV episodes. Jonathan Joestar, a young aristocrat, finds his peaceful life shattered when a new boy named Dio Brando arrives. Dio has ties to Jonathan's father, and as time passes, a bitter rivalry develops as Dio grows increasingly fixated on a mysterious, ancient, and enchanted stone mask that Jonathan's father keeps. Note: This film has never been released to the public beyond its initial limited theatrical run and is considered largely lost, with only a few trailers and a discovered 16-minute undubbed clip compilation used for a student sound design project remaining.
Background
The film was never released on home video as Shueisha terminated their relationship with studio A.P.P.P.
