Song Saturday: Hayato Matsuo's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Scores


How's it going lurkers? Are you getting pumped for tonight? I know I am; I can't wait! 
 
Since last summer, I have wondered, if Adult Swim's Toonami block would premiere the "Battle In Egypt" Arc shortly after the first 24 episodes of Stardust Crusaders, or if the series would go on hiatus for more dubbing.

As of last Saturday's Toonami Promo, it appears that Toonami will be premiering the "Battle In Egypt" Arc TONIGHT.

You have no idea how happy and relieved I am, right now. This means we as viewers will not have to endure any speed bumps. 

When saying "speed bumps," I mean interrupting the continuation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders only to be preempted for another 1/2 year. 
 
Basically, that is like the local news interrupting already scheduled programming for supposed "late breaking news." Throughout this Seinen Supernatural Horror Action Anime, there have been horror and horror references in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. 
 
I was recently informed, that Parts 3 (Stardust Crusaders) and 4 (Diamond Is Unbreakable) have more horror and horror references in them. 

According to what I have read and heard from other JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fans, there is more horror in Stardust Crusaders. This is probably due to the resurgence of the sinister Dio Brando. 

Dio Brando is that super villain in a series, that readers and viewers LOVE to hate. You wish he would die. If he does die, it seems too good to be true. Dio is just THAT  kind of an evil character. 

Dio Brando is such a sinister character, I will even go as far as saying, that if Dio was ever someone on a forum, he would be the worst kind of troll online. 

Imagine a troll, that runs cons, lies, backstabs, smears online reputations, violates posters and their privacy, sends harassing e-mail messages, sends moles and flunkies to cyber stalk, profile, slander, witch hunt, and gossip about innocent posters, spams the forum with dozens of malicious call out threads about certain posters, and turns an entire community against those posters.

Not that the fictional super villain ever committed such atrocities listed above, but imagine if he really DID commit such cyber crimes as a troll.

The super villain, Dio Brando is a highly resentful, narcissistic sociopath and classist with a great sense of entitlement, huge chips on his shoulders, and suffers from Little Dick Syndrome. 
 
When I say, "Little Dick Syndrome," I mean abuse of power. 

Dio is a very powerful villain from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise and revels in abusing his power. Believe it or not, there are people as sinister and as deplorable as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's Dio Brando, that really exist. Dio Brando, who is now known as "DIO," is back for the "Battle In Egypt" Arc. 

Whenever JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's music changes to an ominous score during scenes, there is usually a great chance that DIO is coming. He is no longer a human and hasn't been for centuries. This super villain is not only a serial killer, but also a VAMPIRE.

Mangaka, Hirohiko Araki was influenced by Bram Stoker's Dracula, when creating JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood.

Dio Brando seeks to destroy the Joestar Clan. His vendetta with Jonathan Joestar dates back to 1880 from England.

Being extremely opportunistic, cunning, and power hungry have to be Dio Brando's WORST  flaws. As a viewer of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise, I believe Dio's extreme lust for power is his worst flaw. 

To most people, money equals power. More than anything, Dio Brando always resented Jonathan Joestar for his wealthy status and has spent over a century destroying people's lives for power, including Jonathan's.

Before the late 1930's, Dio Brando killed Jonathan Joestar. Then, Dio took over his body. With this current season airing on Adult Swim's Toonami block, the characters of Stardust Crusaders are in Egypt, during the late 1980's. They are trying to save Jotaru Kujo's sick mother, Holly. 

With the resurgence of the super villain, DIO, we can expect to hear more ominous music between scenes. Hayato Matsuo composed the music for the first 9 episodes of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood. 

As said earlier, whenever the songs have ominous tones during certain scenes, viewers can expect for Dio Brando to make an appearance. Here are 3 creepy scores by composer, Hayato Matsuo, to set the ominous tones of Dio Brando's arrival for today's Song Saturday.
