23.) ALTERED: The sequence of Speedwagon running late to see JonaEri off removes the fact that he left the tavern without paying AND was chased after by the owner, only for the dock workers carrying Dio's coffin to knock him in the head. Speedwagon's the one to get knocked over in the anime!

21.) REMOVED: A continuation from the prior chapter pages, but before Tarkus kills the two men by wringing them apart and continues his pursuit of Jonathan, Zeppeli, and Speedwagon, he does an attack that destroys the ground around them as seen in the anime. It's the only part here to make the cut.

20.) REMOVED: Poco's attempt to warn the villagers about the zombies goes unheard by two men who think he's lying and decide to menace him. The more gruesome elements in PB's style of horror especially shine during this scene with Tarkus' appearance. In the anime, nothing of this sequence remains.

19.) REMOVED: An entire action sequence with Zeppeli (where he creates a full body shield of Hamon to deflect a brunt of scattering debris that would've proven fatal if he didn't protect himself) was cut after Tarkus crushes what remained of Bruford's armor following his purification by Jonathan.

18.) REMOVED: WE COMPLETELY LOST SPEEDWAGON TRYING TO JOIN JONATHAN AND ZEPPELI IN WALKING ON WATER AND ABSOLUTELY FAILING. It's only a short three panels on the overall page, but it's such a funny sequence of events just as the action starts picking up!

17.) REMOVED: Speedwagon and Zeppeli's exchange where he asks to be taught Hamon too is taken out. In the anime, the only glimpses of that remain of it are when we get Jonathan only overhearing the aftermath of Zeppeli 'accidentally' punching Speedwagon wrong. We don't get to see the actual punch.

16.) REMOVED: The elderly women gossiping about the 'sick person' recovering in the mansion by the graveyard and the girl who 'ran away' are gone, while the following scene with Dio was altered: removing the second girl hostage and Wang Chen's reappearance to share what happened with Jonathan.

15.) REMOVED: A fight between Jonathan and Wang Chen during his time training with Zeppeli was axed. This attempt to stop Jojo, who was thought to be the only one in Dio's way at the time, was both to show Jonathan's startling progress, but also use Wang Chen as Dio's means of learning about Hamon.

14.) REMOVED: Coinciding with the prior scene, Erina's firm (emphasized by an extremely cold gaze from her) dismissal of Speedwagon's attempted visitation during the day is cut all the same, so we aren't reintroduced to her until she's shown in Jonathan's hospital room after Speedwagon sneaks in.

13.) REMOVED: Like the prologue, the entire beginning pages of Jonathan's hospital stint following his first battle against vampire Dio were removed, and Speedwagon's attempt to visit Jojo during the day doesn't get a mention when he stands outside the hospital later that night.

12.) ALTERED: Dio's flashback on being told to sell his late mother's dress shows up in the anime without most of the actual flashback dialogue + only Dio's final panel narration. We get quick flashes of Dario holding the bottle, Dio hitting the table, and the dress being thrown aside.

11.) ALTERED: It's more than a bit upsetting that we don't get to see Jonathan visibly cry over the loss of his best friend in the anime, only getting narration of it.

10.) ALTERED: Most of Jonathan's internal dialogue about his struggle of wanting to reach out to Erina was removed in the anime, reduced to his frustration with Dio's aim to ruin them succeeding beyond expectations. We also lose his miserable stroll home which inevitably leads him to Danny's grave.

9.) REMOVED: Another quick scene not too long after the last, but Jonathan tries to escape the superstition of a "crow's curse" in the pages right before he returns home to learn of Danny's fate. There's an additional scene between those two, which brings us to...

8.) ALTERED: This is a quick 'blink and you'll miss it' moment if you aren't paying attention, but the anime changed it from rocks being thrown at Jonathan by the boys in town to them just laughing at him.

-actually happens AFTER Dio's forced kiss on Erina, but BEFORE Jonathan finds out about what happened. The backstory is brought in as new information that Dio now has to his advantage regarding Danny's importance to Jojo, and ultimately serves as motivation for Dio to kill him the way that he does.

7.) REMOVED: Another conversation between George and Dio was taken out. This time, the one where the backstory of how Jonathan and Danny became friends is shared via recounting flashback, done while they watch the two play together down below. Something interesting to note is that this exchange-

6.) ALTERED: Certain sequences during the JonaEri montage are shortened to a quick montage. The goofy exchange of Jonathan trying to show off the frog he caught to Erina (and his ensuing reply after she swims away scared) is removed, as was their chat before he reveals the heart carving to her.

-unlike the manga where a physical confrontation takes place, involving Jonathan punching one of them out before getting struck in the back of head with a stick! Finally, when Jonathan angrily rolls around while shouting Dio's name, he doesn't end up accidentally falling in the river.

5.) ALTERED: This entire sequence was changed in the anime: Jonathan isn't depicted as smoking from a pipe and is instead upset about Dio. He asks the three boys if he can join/play with them, and when called a snitch, Jojo chases after them but can't catch up before they're gone-

4.) REMOVED: This scene between George and Dio where we're given more information on where the Stone Mask "originated" and how it ultimately found its way into the Joestar Estate. In the anime, we're only shown Dio's curious glance over at the mask on display in the foyer when he first arrives.
