![]() ![]() Dio has survived his battle with Jonathan by decapitating his nemesis's corpse and attaching his own head to it. Joseph explains that the sudden appearance of their Stands is caused by the nemesis of his grandfather, Jonathan Joestar: Dio Brando, now referred to simply as DIO. They explain that Jotaro's "evil spirit" is actually a manifestation of his fighting spirit, called a Stand, and reveal that they possess Stands as well. After being called by Holly, Joseph's daughter and Jotaro's mother, Joseph arrives with an associate, Mohammed Avdol. In Japan, 1988, Jotaro Kujo, grandson of Joseph Joestar, has been arrested, and refuses to leave his cell, believing he is possessed by an evil spirit. Stardust Crusaders also stands out as the only arc of the series to gain any notable Western exposure prior to the release of the anime series by David Production in 2012, due to the 1993 OVA series, 1999 video game and the English releases of the manga in 2005–2010. An anime television adaptation by David Production, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, aired in Japan between April 2014 and June 2015. This popularity later spawned video games, a three volume drama CD series, two novels and two OVA series of this arc alone. ![]() It is the most popular arc of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series as it introduced the audience to the concept of Stands, which differentiated it from its predecessors. They released the hardcover format from 2016 to 2019. ![]() Viz Media initially released the sixteen-volume format of the arc in North America between 20. A ten-volume hardcover re-release under the title JoJonium was published in 20. In 2012, Stardust Crusaders was digitally colored and released as digital downloads for smartphones and tablet computers. The arc was preceded by Battle Tendency and followed by Diamond Is Unbreakable. In its original publication, it was known as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 Jotaro Kujo: Heritage for the Future. It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from Mato Apfor 152 chapters, which were later collected into 16 tankōbon volumes. ![]() The arc was serialized for a little over 3 years. Which is a shame because I would've liked to see Yoshikage Kira and Shigechi in LA form.Stardust Crusaders ( Japanese: スターダストクルセイダース, Hepburn: Sutādasuto Kuruseidāsu) is the third story arc of the manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. With the film's lack of financial success, there won't be a second part. The film also drags and stagnates during key moments, which just seems counterintuitive to the energetic, fast-paced source material. Theres simply no way that the lanky Yamazaki could have portrayed an ultra-buff 16 year old half-Japanese teen, and despite his short stature the 20-something Kamiki was about 20 centimetres too tall and 8 years too old to play Koichi. As a result, the costumes and dialogues are, for want of a better word, cringe despite the best efforts of the notable cast. Miike didn't capture the playful and dare I say 'bizarre' nature of the source material, opting instead for a hardboiled action movie with fantasy elements. Unless a director is shooting for a 'so bad it's good' type of comedy, it seems difficult to make a genuinely good live-action out of a source material that isn't grounded in reality- JJBA being a key example. But despite some interesting alterations by Miike- the decision to film in an old Spanish town, of all places, and the portrayal of Stands as cybernetic ghosts- this film is just dull. The special effects are quite decent, the costumes don't look too low-budget, the storyline is, for the most part, faithful to its source material, and it may be worth watching just for the ensemble cast alone. "What did you say about my hair?" In terms of live actions, you could do worse than Miike Takashi's 2017 remake of this popular manga/anime season. ![]()
