Parent Guide

Two teenagers stare at a teenage girl's breasts in a car. When the car brakes suddenly, one of them briefly falls face first into her breasts. His friend apologizes profusely in his behalf.

A character's stand impregnates a woman against her will. Nothing is shown, but her cry for help before cutting away may be disturbing.

A character mentions how something feels similar to that of a condom. Used in a non-sexual manner.

In episodes "Judgement Part 1" and "Judgement Part 2", both episodes show a woman's buttocks and breasts (Not detailed). It shows up frequently throughout both episodes, but it's not meant to be sexual at all. These episodes do not show any genitalia male, or female.

A serial killer in part 4 was well known for raping, mutilating and murdering three 14-year-old boys. The rape itself was never shown.

Illuso mentioned Sorbert and Gelato "getting it on."

Dio is well know for attracting both gender with his body and charisma. There are times you'll see the corpses of naked or barely naked women in his bed. Or how he interacted with both Avodol and Kakyion. Avodol even mentioned Dio having a dubious sensuality.

Some scenes show bare breasts, with no nipples, but it's entirely non-sexual and brief.

Golden Wind characters have outfits that shows a lot of skin, both male and female

A character talks about how someone saw her masturbating. This scene goes on for 2 minutes.

A female character strips naked in front of 2 other female characters, and does various poses. Nothing is really shown, and this scene is really brief

Jolyne states a jail guard caught her masturbating.

In the part 2 intro (uncensored version) a figure of a nude woman is shown. Not much detail is visible.

Jotaro Saves who he thinks is a boy but then proceeds to touch there chest then realizing its a girl

In part 4 a serial killer know as angelo was sentence to death for rape and murder of three 14 year old boys. The third boy,unfortunately, got mutilated in the process.

An ape is shown looking a a porn magazine and later opens the curtain where a girl is taking a shower.

During the course of an entire episode, Polnareff (as a child) is completely naked and his penis and scrotum are shown several times albeit without graphic detail.

In a very brief scene (blink and you'll miss it), a woman's breast and nipple are shown in a goofy, cartoonish book. The breast and nipple aren't drawn realistically, as the artstyle is akin to the kind in Rugrats.

A man and young boy are shown naked in the bath together, being father and son. In Japan, this isn't uncommon and is seen as normal. However, in this scene, the man is a serial killer posing as the boy's father which makes the atmosphere highly disturbing. The man's buttocks are shown briefly and the boy's buttocks and genitals are shown as well (non-sexualized and non-detailed).

In part 5 episode 26 "A Little Story From the Past ~My Name is Doppio~" there is a graphic scene in which a character throws up razor blades and has pin needles stuck in his face, this scene is very violent and disturbing. This is probably the most violent scene in the whole show. (Not shown in the crunchyroll version)

In Part 5 episode 21 "The Mystery of King Crimson" a character's hand is chopped off and a bloody stump is seen, this episode in general is quite bloody.

Part 5 has consistent, bloody violence that is just as graphic if not more so then previous parts.

Jotaro's shoulder is sliced by a ceiling fan, some blood spews out.

Many of the parts are quite graphic and disturbing. Many of this is censored on crunchyroll and other places, but not always.

This is an incredibly violent and gory anime, and it's full of all sorts of incredibly graphic violence and gory scenes. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

Dio says to a woman I wouldn't harm your baby but then Dio transforms the woman into a zombie I think and the child eats her baby's head this is shown but in a shadow

A man's face is ripped off by the enemy stand, exposing his skull for a split second. Very graphic.

The series contains strong, bloody, and sometimes graphic violence.

A shot at the outset of the first episode depicts a man impaled on the broken spokes of a carriage wheel, with one spoke sticking out through his mouth.

Dio, in order to break Jojo, takes Jojo's dog Danny and throws him in the furnace outside the Joestar estate, burning him alive (implied, not seen). Dio and Jojo get into a bloody hand-to-hand fight at the end of the first episode. The last punch Jojo throws is so strong that it splashes Dio's blood all over a mask on the wall nearby.

Jack the Ripper murders a woman in the streets. The dead woman's eyes are open, with a pool of blood formed around her body. Jojo fights three thugs on Ogre Street. One tries to stab him, but Jojo grabs the blade with his bare hand, drawing blood. Another thug, Speedwagon, sends his blade-rimmed hat into Jojo's arm, cutting deeply. Jojo then kicks him in the face, causing it to bleed.

Dio tries to test the stone mask on random thugs on the street after a night of drinking. Dio kills one by slitting his throat, spraying blood all over the one that Dio puts the mask on. The masked thug springs to life as a vampire moments later, digging his fingers into Dio's neck to drain his blood. The sun comes up shortly thereafter, however, reducing the vampire thug to ashes and saving Dio's life.

The stone mask transforms humans into vampires by impaling their brain using several tentacle-like spikes, though little blood is shown.

Dio uses his improved, superhuman strength to slice a policeman's head in two, his decapitated scalp hitting the floor. Speedwagon defensively shoots Dio in the head, but, with Dio now being immortal, it has no effect aside from leaving a bloody hole behind.

Dio digs his fingers into a policeman's skull, sucking his blood out until nothing but a shriveled corpse is left behind. Dio throws the corpse at Speedwagon and the policemen, which shatters bloodily upon contact with one of the police officers, who dies from the force at which Dio threw the body. One of the body parts also hits Speedwagon, who coughs up blood.

Jack The Ripper bursts out of the neck wound of a horse's corpse and tries to kill the main characters. A vampire policeman attempts to attack Speedwagon, but Jonathan smashes its head apart with a steel spear. Jonathan then tries to stab Dio in the head with the spear, but the spear is stopped by Dio's hand, impaling it in the process.

Vampires melt whenever they gets touched by a spiritual energy called: "Hamon". Vampires absorb human blood by stabbing their victim's necks using their fingers. Many of the zombies eat humans. Fairly bloody.

Dio crushes a man into several pieces after freezing his body with his cold body-temperature. We later see the man's decapitated head utter his final words before dying. Dio tricks a mother into becoming a zombie to save her baby, which she then proceeds to consume after becoming one (it's shown offscreen).

Straizo, a vampire bloodlessly pulls a lady's tooth from her mouth in order to torture her, she passes out.

Many Nazis are ripped in half or torn to pieces by the Pillar Men after being awakened. They all have superhuman powers - Esidisi can turn his blood into lava, Wham can control wind from pipes that are in his body and Kars can slice things with razor-sharp blades embedded in his arms.

Esidisi vertically rips a man's face in half. Suzy Q is controlled by one of the Pillar Men's disembodied brains. The said brain attaches to her and starts to wound her, although she is eventually saved.

Whamu blinds himself in battle, jabbing his thumbs into his eyes. He is later shown decapitated from Joseph's attack. Kars stabs Lisa Lisa through her ankle, then dangles her from a large building - using a rope tied through the ankle wound.

Kars is thrown into a volcano, violently burning him alive in the lava. It's later revealed that he survives this by adapting to the heat.

Joseph has his hand sliced off by Kars as blood spurts out of the stump.

Jotaro's Stand impales another Stand with it's long fingers.

An orangutan uses his own Stand power (which is a cruise ship) to impale a person through the head with a hook with lots of blood and gore, shoots a propeller into Jotaro's shoulder, and tries to rape a girl while she's taking a shower. Jotaro uses his Stand to shoot a button into the ape's brain, causing it to bleed through the eyes.

The crazed puppet-like Stand, Ebony Devil, gruesomely slices a bell-hopper's face off with a razor. It also tries to kill Polnareff, but is hacked apart to shreds, killing it and its owner incredibly graphically. When a janitor finds the man's dead body, the aftermath is seen, with the man's horrifically mutilated and shredded corpse shown in extremely gruesome and extensive detail, with massive amounts of blood, gore, guts, bone and organs splattered all over the bathroom he's in.

A dog has it's head torn off by the Stand, Yellow Temperance. Later on, Jotaro punches Kakyoin (who is being impersonated by Temperance) so hard that it nearly tears his jaw off, with lots of gore seen.

-Notable cases from Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable-

Kira turns a man into a bomb, disintegrating him. His eyeballs are briefly shown before turning into dust.

The final battle between Josuke and Kira is the most violent and bloodiest finale in the JoJo series to date, with both characters suffering several different wounds after being punched, shot and impaled on various objects. By the end, both are left covered in injuries and blood.

On crunchyroll, there is a special version of the show called "Jojo redited", and it removes all of the "mature" matter.

A lot of dogs die in gruesome ways. However, it's worth noticing that the show does NOT in any way advocate for that and is only used to make the villains more horrifying, according to Hirohiko Araki himself.

Some of the villains, like Angelo, Cioccolata and J. Geil, are extremely evil, sadistic and psychopathic, and their cruel and heinous actions may be unsettling and frightening.

Polpo, one of passione capo, was seen eating his fingers

Rated R for strong sustained sequences of stylized bloody violence throughout, disturbing images, crude and sexual content, partial nudity, animal cruelty, alcohol use, language, drug use and smoking.

-Notable cases from Part I: Phantom Blood and Part II: Battle Tendency-

Part I in particular has a "horror" theme, with several vampires, zombies and instances of frightening violence.

A few instances of somewhat brutal violence, particularly during Dio's rampage as a vampire near the end of Part I.

In Part II, the Pillar Men awakening from their slumber is very disturbing, as they are seen murdering several Nazis in a gory fashion. The abilities of Santana are frightening as well, being able to contort his body like rubber and absorb other beings into himself.

-Notable cases from Part III: Stardust Crusaders-

The ending of Part III is very intense and emotional, as several main characters die.

-Notable cases from Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable-

Part IV has a mystery theme that revolves around Josuke and his friends tracking a mysterious serial killer. This killer is, considerably, a very disturbing villain. Due to his hand fetish, he murders women and severs their hands to keep as "girlfriends" until they rot. He is shown carrying severed hands around with him in a sandwich bag, talking to them, buying them jewelry and more. This is meant to be, and is, extremely unsettling for viewers.

The appearance of a few Stands, such as Killer Queen and Aqua Necklace could be scary due to their unnerving appearances.
