DIO appears before everyone on one side of the room and congratulates them for their efforts, before warning that someone is coming for them. 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.Instead, he arrives just in time to save Joseph from DIO. Kakyoin does not rejoin the group before they enter DIO's mansion.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.In the manga, this is provided by his brother. This scene is originally seen in the introduction to the Phantom Blood manga. There is a scene depicting the Aztec tribe sacrificing a young woman for the Aztec Chief's Stone Mask.Iggy keeps a consistent appearance throughout the OVA.Jotaro discovers Enya's identity with a method similar to the one he used on the Impostor Captain Tennille in the manga.Hol Horse does not reappear after being hurt by Enya.Avdol reunites with the group during the fight with Enya, rather than during the fight with Cameo like in the manga.The group's visit to Singapore is completely removed.In the OVA, Forever is instead sliced in half by Polnareff's Silver Chariot. In the manga, Jotaro defeats Forever by pummeling him with Star Platinum.In addition, Polnareff was not controlled by one of DIO's flesh bud parasites. The group doesn't meet Polnareff in Hong Kong like in the manga.In addition, the subject possessed by Hierophant Green has been changed from the school doctor to a female student. In the OVA, they fight in a nearby forest. In the manga, Jotaro fights Kakyoin in the school infirmary.In the OVA, they discuss DIO's location at Holy's house. In the manga, after Jotaro is freed from jail, he, Joseph, Avdol, and Holy discuss DIO's whereabouts at a cafe.In addition, the flesh bud that kills her is not triggered by Steely Dan. In the OVAs, Enya can use Justice to transform herself into an attractive young woman.The story of Part 3 was largely omitted the majority of Stand battles from the manga are removed in the OVAs.Once you finish one episode, you won't want to wait even a second to pop in the next. It's harsh, brutal, and ultimately very fulfilling. It's an action vehicle with some of the most wrenching scenes I've seen drawn in an anime. At its core, Jojo is a passion play, not an intricately plotted drama. We don't really need to know, because the sheer passion these characters have for their quest - through all sorts of dangers and villains in the person of Dio's powerful henchmen - shine right through the pain and horror they experience. We don't really need to know why Joseph Joestar and his son Jotaro have taken themselves and their friends on a dangerous crusade through the middle east, hunting down a demonic figure known as Dio.
This hurts the flow of the story to some degree, but the intensity of the drama soon takes on a life of its own. Something similar to how the original Star Wars trilogy is the middle third of a bigger tale, that can (and does) leave the viewer confused as to what the context of the story is. In fact, this set of episodes is actually the middle of a much larger story.
Known as Jo-Jo's Bizarre Adventure, this anime is adapted from a series of manga that has yet to be completed in Japan.
