JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 3: Stardust Crusaders

In 1989, Joseph Joestar travels to Japan at the request of his daughter, Holly, to see his grandson, Joutarou Kuujou, who is troubled by inner conflict. Joutarou believes an evil spirit is controlling him, leading him to confine himself in a prison cell. Joseph explains that this "spirit" is actually a Stand, a physical manifestation of one's fighting spirit. Both Joseph and his companion, Mohammed Avdol, possess their own Stands and have mastered them. During his visit, Joseph also learns alarming news: an ancient enemy of the Joestar family line has revived, awakening the Stand abilities of the Joestar bloodline. When Holly unexpectedly develops a Stand she cannot control, she becomes critically ill, requiring immediate action. Armed with their Stand powers, Joseph, Avdol, and Joutarou set out on a global journey from Japan to Egypt to confront their foe. Along the way, they face many Stand-wielding opponents and form new alliances, all to save Holly and ultimately defeat their enemy.

A 17-volume kanzenban version dubbed as JoJonium was published in Japan from December 4, 2013, to March 4, 2015. This edition covered the first three parts of the Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken series and included new cover art which showed redesigns of the characters by Araki Hirohiko. JoJonium's volumes 8-17 cover the third part. JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 3: Stardust Crusaders was published in English by VIZ Media from November 8th, 2005, to December 7th, 2010 under the title JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It was not labeled as Part 3 until later; this was due to it being the first of the series to be published in English. The publisher has published the series uncensored following the JoJonium format and content from November 1, 2016 to February 5, 2019. It was also published in Italian by Star Comics from March 1995 to March 1997. Several minor changes were made to the English release, apart from changes to several copyrighted stand users names and violence to animals and children being changed, an online group of Muslim protesters halted the release of the manga for a year. This was due to a scene in the OVA where the antagonist, Dio Brando is seen reading pages from the Qu'ran—which was not even present in the manga. Shueisha requested many scenes featuring fighting which involved buildings resembling mosques be redrawn.
