“ This story depicts the mysterious Stone Mask from Mexico and its raveling of the destinies of two youngsters and their bizarre adventures! ”

—Narrator, Chapter 1

Phantom Blood (ファントムブラッド Fantomu Buraddo) is the first story arc of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from January to October 1987 consisting of 44 chapters.

Summary[]

Weekly Jump January 1 1987

The story follows Jonathan Joestar as he matures with and eventually combats his adoptive brother, the cunning and merciless Dio Brando.

As part of his scheme, Dio torments Jonathan in ways such as "mistaking" his dog for attacking him and proceeding to knee him in the jaw, violently beating him in a boxing match, and turning his friends against him, all while presenting himself before Jonathan's father as a better gentleman and student than his adoptive brother. When Jonathan finds solace in a relationship with his girlfriend Erina Pendleton, Dio steals her first kiss.

Dio eventually becomes a vampire, leading to Jonathan fighting him for humanity's sake.
