It's just my personal opinion. If you don't agree, please don't raise the bar. You are right.
In Phantom Blood, Jonathan's character is too perfect, but Dio is a born villain. This kind of opposition between good and evil is too superficial, and it will make people feel like the old story of a hero defeating a big villain and perishing with it. It may be because Araki created the first book of the jojo series. The plot still feels like it has not gotten rid of the old-fashioned story. The anime is very inconsistent with the exaggerated stage drama of dog blood. Dio killed Jonathan's dog, and he His father, destroyed his home and even killed himself, he was tolerant and even pampering Dio from beginning to end, which was unbearable. And it is said that Dio is born with a great villain and a villainous savior, and he has to use his love for his mother and his unfortunate childhood to whitewash it... The villain has its own anti-charm, and deliberately whitewashing will reduce the favorability. If you want to watch the whole series, believe me, the first one is not a very good entry. Although the jojo series can be called a masterpiece, there are still many problems in the early stage of the story creation, but it is precisely because of this that the rapid progress of Mr. Araki's script conception and plot design can be highlighted. Generally speaking, if you want to watch the whole series, one cannot or missing.
The progress of Araki can be seen from the beginning of the fighting trend. The setting of the negative characters is not as black and white and strong contrast as Phantom Blood. Although Kaz in Zhunan is ruthless and cunning, his attitude towards plants But it is carefully cared for; Huam is so principled that I almost think he is a positive character... Although Joseph is a decent protagonist, Araki's portrayal of him is also unreliable. Wait for the fault. This tells us that the villains are not necessarily all black, and the good ones are not necessarily all white. The portrayal of each character is very comprehensive and full, and the characters shown to the audience are lifelike, rather than the rigid opposition between good and evil like a simple textbook in Phantom Blood. I'd rather give Battle Trend high marks than Phantom Blood.
