Fan Casting JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Bloodlines

Phantom Blood, the first arc of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, follows the noble Jonathan Joestar in 1880s England as he grows up alongside his cunning and ruthless adopted brother, Dio Brando. After being taken in by the Joestar family under false pretenses, Dio begins a campaign to usurp Jonathan’s place as heir, tormenting him and manipulating those around him. Their rivalry escalates when Dio discovers the power of an ancient Stone Mask that transforms him into a vampire, granting him superhuman abilities and a thirst for domination. To stop Dio’s reign of terror, Jonathan trains in the mystical martial art of Hamon (Ripple), which harnesses life energy to combat the undead. With allies like the flamboyant Baron Zeppeli and the loyal Speedwagon, Jonathan battles Dio’s monstrous creations across England. The story culminates in a tragic final confrontation aboard a ship, where Jonathan sacrifices himself to stop Dio once and for all. Though Jonathan dies, his legacy sets the stage for future generations of Joestars to continue the fight against evil.
