Phantom Blood is the opening story arc of Hirohiko Araki's manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, first published in 1987 and adapted as the first season of the anime in 2012. It follows Jonathan Joestar's conflict with Dio Brando in Victorian England, giving the music its gothic, heroic tone. Clips from the adaptation circulate widely in anime edits, fan videos and soundboards, where the title alone signals dramatic rivalry and supernatural danger. Its continued use reflects how strongly the Joestar and Dio story still defines the franchise for many fans.
