Noriaki Kakyoin (3) (DIO's Curse in the WSJ release, is the one hundred twentieth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the seventh chapter of Part III: Stardust Crusaders.

Summary

Jotaro brings Kakyoin to his grandfather and Avdol in order to ask him about DIO. Joseph says that the boy is doomed to die in a few days because of a flesh bud fixed to his brain. He explains that the flesh bud is made out of DIO's cells and is used to control his victim's spirit with charisma.

Avdol tells Jotaro how he first met DIO. He barely avoided the same fate as Kakyoin. He could escape only because Joseph had already told him about DIO. Jotaro refuses to let Kakyoin die and begins to remove the flesh bud with his Stand.

The flesh bud reacts and digs a tentacle into Jotaro's hand in order to get to his brain. Jotaro manages to remove it in the nick of time and Joseph destroys it with his Ripple. When Kakyoin asks him why he risked his life for him, Jotaro says that he doesn't know it himself.

Major Battles

Publication

Volumes are published in English by VIZ Media, and in Italian by Star ComicsW.

English Language Edition

Stardust Crusaders was the first part to be officially released in English. The series is edited by Jason Thompson, author of Manga: The Complete GuideW.

Some names were altered for the English release, presumably for copyright reasons. Additionally, the character Devo was changed entirely.

[citation needed]

Minor edits were made to artwork where certain scenes of animal violence were redrawn by Hirohiko Araki for the English release. Japanese volume 15 (English volume 3) featured a single panel of a dog being decapitated which was redrawn from an alternate angle, and Japanese volume 18 (English volume 6) has several redrawn panels where a mutilated dog was changed into a large rat.

Due to a controversy regarding one scene involving DIO apparently reading the Qur'anW in the OVA, Viz Media and Shueisha paused publication for a year, even though the manga did not feature that specific scene. However, Shueisha had Araki (or his assistants) redraw scenes that depicted characters fighting on top of or destroying buildings resembling mosquesW. Viz resumed publication on April 7, 2009, with Volume 11.

Trivia

  • This story was initially titled "Dai San Bu Kūjō Jōtarō: Mirai e no Isan" / "第三部 空条承太郎 ―未来への遺産" / (lit.) "Part 3 Kūjō Jōtarō: Heritage for the Future".
  • Stardust Crusaders contains the most popularly known characters and episodes of the series; introducing JoJo's distinctive Stand phenomenon, and the emblematic protagonist Jotaro Kujo.
  • Many characters were not named until the release of additional materials like the artbooks.
  • Araki describes the basis for Part 3 as like a board game, traveling between a series of stops; and further inspiration from the film Around the World in 80 Days.[2]
  • While he began plotting for this part, Araki first pitched it as a modern retelling of Dracula. There was only one person in the room who thought it was a good idea; the rest were utterly confused. His editors told him to have at least one Japanese character/story arc prior to this part, as they felt the story had too many foreign characters and settings for the comic's target audience.[3]
  • Part 3 is the last part to feature any vampires or the Ripple ability.
