JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is no stranger to the live-action world, creating a live-action movie in 2017 that followed Josuke and his adventures in the Sleepy Town of Morioh via Diamond Is Unbreakable. Nonetheless, the Joestars aren't planning on quitting the live-action scene as performances for the Phantom Blood musical have started in Japan. To give fans a closer look at the battle that kicked off the series featuring Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando, new official images have made their way online showing off the stage play.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure began in 1987 with Phantom Blood, a story that didn't feature Stands but had plenty of anime battles that set the stage for what was to come. Jonathan Joestar might not have had his own Stand, but he did have the power of the Ripple at his side, allowing him the perfect way to fight Dio Brando and his villainous vampires. While the first Joestar that kicked off the series was able to defeat Dio Brando, the beloved villain amongst fans would return years later in Stardust Crusaders. While the vampire did die fighting Jotaro Kujo, his legacy continues to live on in the anime franchise.
