![]() ![]() Stardust Crusaders was also on more Japanese TV networks than its prequel so it had more vendors to satisfactorily censor for. I would imagine it's primarily broadcaster standards that dictate what Jojo can and cannot show. It is true that Japan has been stricter on censorship over the last 10 years, and that the market is also moving towards a censored TV / Uncensored DVD setup. ![]() ![]() The animators may have seen what way other shows were going and used them as a guideline for what to censor and what not to. Other groups may have complained about Jojo's content - In 2008 Jojo was under fire for having Dio reading the Qur'an and containing fighting scenes played out ontop of, and destroying, mosques. They have been known to do so with other anime series, such as Nana Ref With regards to smoking, The Japan Society of Smoking Control may have filed a complaint. These then have to be edited at short notice to be fit to broadcast. Also broadcasters will send back episodes if they do not meet their expectations of censoring. In July 2013 (before Stardust Crusaders) There was a big push for more self-censorship after a series of arrests in Core Magazine. ![]() In the past few years censorship laws have been enforced more and more strictly. This season may have aired on TV earlier than usual so harsher censorship rules could have applied (I don't think this one is likely, but it's a possibility) I don't have a definitive answer, but I can offer some guesses: I will keep this here for general reasons as to why the series may have been censored on TV. This answer addresses the question assuming the version on Crunchyroll was the same as before. The smoking thing seems like it might be playing a role, though.Įdit: See answer for the correct answer. I think it is unlikely that most of the points mentioned in Toshinou Kyouko's answer are relevant in light of the fact that OP's assumption is false: Stardust Crusader is not, in fact, substantially more censored than parts 1 and 2. This also happened, for example, with Madoka (no simulcast when Crunchy got streaming rights, they used the BD version). Of course, it so happens that the BD version also will be less censored. In these cases, Crunchyroll will typically use the BD version rather than the TV version, since the BD version is almost invariably higher quality (Shaft notwithstanding). This was the case for JoJo parts 1 and 2. Here's what happened: sometimes, Crunchyroll only gets streaming rights to a show after the BDs have come out. Here's the TV version of OP's screenshot from JoJo part 1: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has also seen domestic releases in Italy by Star Comics, in France by J'ai Lu and Tonkam, Taiwan by Da Ran Culture Enterprise and Tong Li Publishing, and in Malaysia by Comics House.User11503's answer is exactly correct: the earlier parts of JoJo were just as bad when they aired on TV. They began re-releasing Stardust Crusaders in November 2016, this time in the same hardcover edition as the previous two parts. They began publishing a similar edition of Battle Tendency digitally in March 2015 and in print in November 2015. Being made of multiple parts and each one of those is starring a different protagonist, each nicknamed JoJo, the series is known due to its art and its plotline, notable for supernatural and seemingly bizarre. Viz Media began publishing the JoJonium edition of the first part Phantom Blood digitally in September 2014, with a three-volume hardcover print edition that includes color pages following throughout 2015. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (Japanese: JoJo no Kimy na Bken) is a Japanese manga and anime series created by Hirohiko Araki and published by Shueisha. The first volume was released on November 8, 2005, with the first twelve volumes summarized in an eight-page summary written and drawn by Araki himself, and the last on December 7, 2010. However, instead of starting with volume one, they chose to only release Part 3 Stardust Crusaders, which is the most well-known. The series was licensed for an English-language release in North America by Viz Media. After volume 63, the beginning of each Part has reset the volume number count back at one. During Part 5, which takes place in Italy, the series' title was written in Italian as Le Bizzarre Avventure di GioGio. The chapters are collected and published into tankōbon volumes by Shueisha, with the first released on August 10, 1987. The eighth story arc, JoJolion, started in 2011 and ended in 2021. The series can be broken into eight distinct parts, each following a different descendant of the protagonist of the first part on different quests. It was originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1987 to 2004, before being transferred to the monthly seinen magazine Ultra Jump in 2005. The manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. ![]()
