Editing JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (section)

==JoJo Media==
*'''Manga''': Obviously, if you want JoJo in its original, true form, you can find yourself some copies or just read it online (most Parts aren't physically available in English). JOJONIUM is a series of updated re-releases of Parts 1-3 that includes additional new artwork and commentary from Araki and is available in English. There are also spin-offs (including those not made by Araki) and artbooks.

*'''Novels''': [[Black Library|Spin-off novels of dubious canonicity and varying qualities]] that can get even more ''bizarre'' than the manga series.

*'''1993 OVA''': An OVA for Stardust Crusaders that came out in 1993 simply titled "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure", which started with the Crusaders already in Egypt. In 2000, more episodes were released which detailed the beginning of Part 3 and the eventual departure from Japan. It re-imagines Stardust Crusaders to be more gritty than the manga with added gore and violence along with scenes being completely altered. The OVA skips more than half of Part 3, as it only includes the fights with Kakyoin, Polnareff, Forever, Hol Horse & J. Geil, Enya, N'Doul, D'Arby, Vanilla Ice and DIO with all but three of these receiving major changes. The fights with N'Doul and D'Arby are faithfully recreated; additionally, the final battle against DIO is notably altered and extended as the fight is far more destructive with scenes such as DIO knocking Jotaro through a bus and throwing a fishing boat at him. This is also the source of the trend of replacing "The World" with "ZA WARUDO" due to DIO's voice-actor's excited exclamation whenever he announces The World's time-stop. Regardless of the all the changes, the OVA is worth watching for its great animation and the fact that it was the only animated JoJo adaptation for almost 20 years. Being the first JoJo media with English voice-acting, one may find extra enjoyment in the frankly ''bizarre'' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4eAKOY4wdY English dub]. 
**Don't expect to find this on any streaming service, as it was pulled from shelves years ago after it was found out that DIO was reading the Quran in one scene. Blame early-to-mid-2000's Islamaphobia.

*''' 2007 Movie''': Animated adaptation of Phantom Blood by the same studio that made the 1993 OVA, unavailable as it hasn't been released in any form to the public since its theater showing, though first 15 minutes and several trailers can be found on YouTube. Judging from them, film is a hell of mess that tries to stuff 44 chapters each at least 20 pages long into an hour and a half movie.
 
*'''TV Series''': The TV anime by David Production that started in 2012, which is responsible for the current Jojo resurgence of popularity. The anime is noted for its stellar music and voice performances that are [[meme|perpetually referenced]] by fans to the point of making the series even more popular. It has near obsessive capturing of moments as they tend to recreate even the smallest scenes and barely edits the iconic poses JoJo is known for. Cover Pages, musical inspirations, and previous and later works by Araki are referenced as bonuses to long-time fans and to add extra flair. Unlike the 1993 OVA, it displays the colorful and ''bizarre'' nature of JoJo to its fullest with very few discrepancies, giving the series the adaptation it deserves.

*''' 2017 OVAs''': 4 episode adaptation of the Rohan starring spin-off made by David Production. Pretty much has the same pros and cons as the anime series. 

*''' 2017 Movie''': Live-action adaptation of Diamond Is Unbreakable, which notably alters the story to fit it into one movie and shift the focus from overall JoJo plot to a Josuke one. Overall not bad, though effects aren't that great.

*''' 2020 Series''': 6 episodes live-action adaptation of Rohan starring spin-offs and novels. They follow the footsteps of the movie in quite altering the plot of the stories to make them less dependent on the overall JoJo lore.

*'''JoJo's Venture/JJBA: Heritage for the Future''': Originally an arcade fighting game, it was subsequently re-released for the Dreamcast and PS1 in 1998. This was pretty much the first contact many Westerners had with JoJo. Based on Part 3 and plays a lot like Street Fighter because it was made by Capcom, who at the time were also working on Street Fighter 3. The game was available on the PSN and Xbox markets in the form of an HD release which lacked a good amount of content (such as Super Story Mode) and is no longer available.

*'''PS2 Vidyas''': There are two other Vidya made around 2005, one detailing the events of Part 1 (Which was supposed to tie into the movie that never released), it's a level-based brawler that's kind of clunky. The other game (Golden Whirlwind) details Part 5 and is a lot more polished, though it ironically came out years before the Phantom Blood game. It skips a number of fights and is more of a fighting game in the fact that you mainly fight one-on-one, so scenes are recreated more faithfully with the fights that were skipped being available in extras as voiced comics. Golden Whirlwind contains nod to Heritage for the Future as they both developed by Capcom.

*'''All-Star Battle''': Another JoJo fighting vidya from 2013, but this time pulls characters from all eight arcs. Nothing really notable except that it's the most ''absolutely fucking fabulous'' game ever. For the international release, they managed to get very clever with avoiding copyright on the names of various characters , Stands, and attacks (e.g. Polnareff is Eiffel, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is "Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price", Vanilla Ice is Cool Ice and so on). To top it all off a number of characters have musical references in their theme songs some more clear than others; to name obvious, a bit of Back in Black in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv_qe5oQoPo Esidisi's theme] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyVUX1tkY0M Kira] has Queen all over and even more in his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2K1E6wx_Sc EoH Theme].
**Was re-released in 2022 as '''All-Star Battle R''', introducing even more characters from various parts (most lifted from EoH) since we've now since seen not only anime adaptations for everything up to Stone Ocean come out but also the completion of Jojolion where the original released when Jojolion just started.

*'''Eyes of Heaven''': ''Another'' JoJo vidya, this time an arena fighting game with a few more characters that weren't in All-Star Battle. Notable for its absolutely hilarious story mode involving time-travel and the other JoJo's meeting each other. The essential cause of this was Funny Valentine's dimension hopping had him to run into a version of DIO who can will whatever he wants into reality using his Stand, '''The World Over Heaven''', and now he wants the Corpse Parts to become even more powerful and defeat the Joestars permanently. The ending basically rewrites part 3 and onward to be a bit less [[grimdark]], in that Jotaro's entire party survives at the end, while Jotaro becomes a better father to Jolyne as he brings her with him at start of part 4. [[Dawww]].
