Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Phantom Blood OVA Lost Movie

Japan is weird about movies like this. When it comes to foreign lost media everything is twice as hard. Do we have anyone who speaks japanese that can email directors and studios?

Maybe We can Ask Araki If he has a copy of the film

Hey thanks for the info!

Its funny, I just watched your video on it

Seeing that the film turns 10 and Jojo turns 40 next year, Lets hope a home video release is in the cards.

Some good news on this front, apparently a bootleg copy got leaked online a few weeks ago on a Japanese forum or something like that(LSSQ mentioned it in one of his livestreams or recent videos) it was taken down but it's likely someone grabbed a copy so it's only a matter of time before it surfaces.

ah OK, then it's only a matter of time before it publicly surfaces.

I'll try to explain a little more about this lead for anyone that has doubts, and can be a little more specific since fewer people are going to see this post compared to my video. I've already heard from my source that they've seen people on Twitter say something like "looked into the claim and it's nothing substantial" which is not true. Nobody can look into this claim because it's between me and the source.

Basically my source has two connections to possible copies- one that is in an archive, and one that is owned in a personal collection. The archive one would be of a higher quality but will require a lot more effort to obtain. Whereas the private one would be in lower quality but only take some digging out of a storage unit to get.

I can't divulge any more details than this, but compared to the rest of the history with this search, these are the closest and most plausible leads we've had so far. A lot of the details I've been told about both copies (especially the higher quality one) line up beyond just a claim that "someone has it". In fact the person who is going to look in their storage unit (lower quality copy) has already flown back to their home state to check and see if it's the right movie.

We'll be able to confirm or debunk the lower quality copy much sooner than the higher one, but either way if one fails we have another option. There have been a lot of rumors about people with copies or bootlegs having floated around before with little evidence, but this time myself and LiquidX are super keen on the details that give this a much higher probability of getting found than ever before. And LiquidX has good intuition with the topic as they've been searching for the past 6 years for it, if not longer.
