JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken
ジョジョの奇妙な冒険
Synopsis
Kujo Jotaro, an ordinary high school student in Japan, believes a spirit has taken hold of him and confines himself to a prison cell. During a visit from his grandfather, Joseph Joestar, and a confrontation with Joseph's associate Muhammad Abdul, Jotaro discovers the "spirit" is actually Star Platinum, his Stand—a physical embodiment of combat energy. Soon after, Jotaro's mother also awakens her own Stand and becomes ill. It turns out that Dio Brando, the vampire defeated a century ago by Jonathan Joestar, Jotaro's great-great-grandfather, has returned. With the aim of permanently eliminating Dio, Jotaro journeys to Egypt alongside Joseph and Abdul.
Background
Shueisha and A.P.P.P. recalled shipments of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga and OVA's due to complaints by Egyptian Islamic fundamentalists, because a scene in the OVAs depicted Dio Brando reading the Qur'an.
