Chapter 61. The Explosive Special Effects Figurine

---

-- [Hello everyone, I'm [White Snake]. I'm sure many of you remember me, right?]

-- [As someone who, like you, has been following "Phantom Blood" every week, captivated by its story and loving JOJO, who is full of courage, righteousness, and kindness, I was equally enraged to see that Green Dolphin Studio had actually killed off JOJO!]

-- [How dare they!!?]

...Hmm, did I open it incorrectly?

Quickly opening and closing the link in the notification,

Repeating this action several times.

And after confirming each word in the link and [White Snake]'s ID several times,

She made sure she was not mistaken. Jolyne Cujoh looked at the article posted by [White Snake] with a puzzled expression.

[White Snake] has...

Changed?

Otherwise, why would he not continue to praise "Phantom Blood" to the skies and oppose her?

Instead, he is now strongly condemning "Phantom Blood"?

Does this mean...

Yay!

Even [White Snake], who always opposes her, is now just drinking her bathwater!

So who can stop me!?

"Phantom Blood" is finished!

It's definitely a loss!!

With this thought, Jolyne Cujoh, who initially had a strong aversion to the number of clicks and likes on the article posted by [White Snake],

Now felt that these numbers were dazzling and attractive.

She wished they could be even higher!

So, in a joyful mood, Jolyne Cujoh continued reading...

-- [Just as I was preparing to give "Phantom Blood" a bad review, I suddenly realized something, something that everyone might forget if I don't mention it...]

-- [When "Phantom Blood" chose its broadcast method, it actually chose the early screening approach...]

-- [And we all know that choosing this broadcasting method usually implies a lack of budget. However, "Phantom Blood" managed to make us forget this fact with its high-quality special effects, superb performances by top-notch actors, and high-level production, which led us to overlook this detail.]

...

Why is this being brought up?

I still prefer you to keep criticizing "Phantom Blood"... Wait a minute! No!!

Upon reaching this point, Jolyne Cujoh finally realized.

The statements made by [White Snake] were not meant to embrace the light and welcome a new era!

Instead...

-- [In other words, the reason Green Dolphin Studio chose this ending is not because they were clueless and wanted to kill off JOJO, the most popular character in "Phantom Blood".]

-- [But because the fate known as reality forced Green Dolphin Studio to make such a choice, just like the almost unavoidable fate faced by JOJO in the final episode of "Phantom Blood"!]

Just as mentioned earlier,

Before Jolyne Cujoh read this post, others had already seen it first.

Naturally, those who saw it questioned [White Snake]'s statements.

After all, with Jolyne Cujoh's generous investment, the selected actors being almost all top-tier, and even the special effects handled by the industry giant Kamikaze Studio, "Phantom Blood" felt visibly rich!

Otherwise, how could "Phantom Blood," a new work that was considered a no-name piece in this parallel world, have become so popular so quickly?

This question is akin to asking why "Demon Slayer," despite its original story being mediocre and likely to be cut by "JUMP" during the time of the big three, became so popular after its adaptation?

Besides the fact that the peak of the big three era has passed and the competition in the animation field with "Demon Slayer" is mainly from isekai light novels,

Another reason is the production standards of UFO Studio, which are three times the budget of other companies!

Similarly, a work like "Phantom Blood," produced by Green Dolphin Studio, which is basically equivalent to "Demon Slayer" in Pucci's previous life, would be strange if it didn't dominate!

So when Green Dolphin Studio, which should have had enough funds, turned out to be lacking, it was hard not to refute.

If "Phantom Blood" can be considered underfunded, then wouldn't other works be considered impoverished?

Just as they were preparing to refute [White Snake]'s viewpoint and list the strengths of "Phantom Blood"'s production team...

An awkward situation arose.

It seemed that Jonathan, Dio, and even the famous scenes contributed by Kirigaya Kazuto were indeed all novice actors.

And Green Dolphin Studio only had "Phantom Blood" as its sole work before this.

Plus, in the early stages of "Phantom Blood," the so-called promotion was practically non-existent, and the early screening approach...

Maybe, just maybe, Green Dolphin Studio really was out of money...

After seeing the pile of evidence listed by [White Snake], some of which they didn't even know,

Their doubts had gradually turned into sympathy, concern, and pleading.

How long has it been since they've seen a studio in the industry that, despite insufficient funds, still strives to provide the best viewing experience for its audience?

-- [But just like JOJO, Green Dolphin Studio hasn't given up! Even if the hope is slim, even if the story of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" is likely to end due to financial reasons!]

-- [Green Dolphin Studio hasn't given up; they are fighting back against this cruel fate and industry with their indomitable resistance!]

-- [This is the BD of "Phantom Blood" that has begun to be sold!]

-- [If there's a lack of funds, then prove to those investors that the story of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" is not a losing deal, but an exciting story worth increasing investment!]

-- [If fate wants to end the story of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," then let their love for this work be poured into the BD, continuing the story of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"!]

-- [That's right! I'll let you in on a secret: unlike the version we watch on video sites, the BD not only includes the "←—To Be Continued" due to budget constraints but also has a preview for the next episode! All of this is hinting that the story of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" has not ended!]

If what [White Snake] said before only evoked empathy,

Then now, it's creating a huge wave!

-- [Finally, let me show you the special JOJO ripple effect figurine that came as a bonus with the "Phantom Blood" BD. The figurine is of JOJO in his ripple-powered form.]

-- [Although it's orthodox to place it with the JOJO figurines, placing it with other characters' figurines, especially those from the "Dragon Ball" series, makes it even more impressive!]

-- [In short, the BD special edition is definitely worth buying. You won't regret it!]
