JoJo ~Sono Chi no Sadame~

JoJo ~Sono Chi no Sadame~ (ジョジョ ～その血の～) is the name of the first opening of the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Anime. The song is associated with the first arc of the series, Part I: Phantom Blood and was sung by Hiroaki "TOMMY" Tominaga.

Opening
The opening consists of the main events in the first few episodes of Part I: Phantom Blood, all of which is animated in CGI.

It begins with a quick montage of manga scenes featuring the first six JoJo protagonists, and from there moves into a tunnel with the title displayed. The tunnel opens up and Jonathan and Dio are seen as kids staring each other down in the Joestar Manor. The scene shifts over to a rotating Statue of Venus. A sudden spin of the statue turns it into an arm holding the stone mask and from there it becomes what is presumably Jonathan's arm holding a knife, carving his and Erina 's name into a tree. Erina is shown and attempts to move in for a kiss from Jonathan, but is surprised when Dio is kissing her. Jonathan appears and punches the camera causing it's gaze to shift onto the Stone Mask. The stone mask's eyes glow and the camera zooms into a scene where the police are shooting Dio wearing the stone mask. Dio flies back after being shot and the window shatters. One of the broken pieces of glass shows the reflection of Jonathan holding his dying father. A moment later, Jonathan's arm points toward the sun.

Dio is seen after gaining his new vampire abilities walking up the wall of the burning Joestar mansion. The room spins and a Dio appears up close holding the stone mask. He smashes the stone mask into the camera and a montage of scenes from the manga featuring him as a kid commences. After a quick glance from Erina, a scene starts up with Jonathan staring at the darkness at the top of some stairs. Swinging his arm, the ripple shoots through his body. Jonathan then proceeds to walk up the stairs. He gradually picks up speed and starts running until his eyes are close up with his pupils aflame. The scene shifts into Dio sitting on a throne holding the stone mask up to his face. A quick zoom into a montage of scenes from the manga starts up, where also William can be seen there at his last moments with Jonathan; until it eventually shows Dio and Jonathan facing off. Jonathan charges a ripple overdrive and punches Dio. Dio attempts to block it. The camera rotates and zooms out from the battle up a long flight of stairs. A moment later the stone mask is seen falling into the ocean and slowly sinks to the bottom.
