''Phantom Blood'' was adapted into a beat-'em-up UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 game and a film, both titled ''[=JoJo=]'s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood'', in 2006 and 2007 respectively as part of the franchise's 20th anniversary. The film is notable for now being impossible to view, having never been given a home release; only some promotional material and the first 16 minutes of a workprint can be found online. This arc was also adapted into the first 9 episodes of the 2012 anime. The English dub of the anime premiered in 2016 on Creator/{{Toonami}}.
