Phantom Blood is the opening saga of Hirohiko Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, first published as manga in 1987 and adapted into anime in 2012. Set in Victorian England, it follows Jonathan Joestar's rivalry with Dio Brando, a conflict that established the series' blend of melodrama, supernatural power and flamboyant confrontation. Short musical passages from the saga circulate widely among anime editors and meme makers, who reuse them to give new videos the same heightened, theatrical stakes. Its enduring appeal lies in that instantly recognisable mix of heroism, villainy and over-the-top drama.
