In Phantom Blood, Dio abandons his plan to pass as an innocent heir and uses the Stone Mask to become a vampire. He declares his rejection of humanity to Jonathan in the Joestar mansion. Chapter 11 becomes episode 3; the Japanese “Ore wa ningen wo yameru zo, JoJo” also circulates as “I’m throwing away my humanity, JoJo.”
