1. Long ago, an already extraordinary man wished for further power.Copy !req
2. He could live like the birds, dwell with the fish,Copy !req
3. breathe like the trees, and move like the water.Copy !req
4. But he could not face the sun.Copy !req
5. So he created a stone mask.Copy !req
6. One day he would befriend the sun.Copy !req
7. And the world would be his!Copy !req
8. Did Kars take a lava dive?Copy !req
9. You... worms...Copy !req
10. We got him!Copy !req
11. I-I need armor.Copy !req
12. Like a clam or a crab...Copy !req
13. I'll make armor.Copy !req
14. I'll cover myself.Copy !req
15. It's not enough!Copy !req
16. It's melted rock, idiot!Copy !req
17. It's over a thousand degrees!Copy !req
18. You're gonna burn to a crisp!Copy !req
19. Yeowch!Copy !req
20. T-That did it!Copy !req
21. Finally!Copy !req
22. We finally took down Kars!Copy !req
23. JoJo, that shock triggered an eruption!Copy !req
24. Let's get to safety before celebrating!Copy !req
25. Good idea. Hang on tight!Copy !req
26. What a wonderful sound.Copy !req
27. It's music to my ears.Copy !req
28. I've been longing to hear that song from you, JoJo!Copy !req
29. Kars... but how?Copy !req
30. A bit of his shell.Copy !req
31. I see. Kars...Copy !req
32. First, Kars covered himself in a shell like a crab.Copy !req
33. But it was still organic.Copy !req
34. It couldn't withstand the lava's heat and burned away instantly.Copy !req
35. Kars's secret was in a second layer of armor!Copy !req
36. That second layer...Copy !req
37. was bubbles!Copy !req
38. The bubbles created a layer of air between Kars's body and the lava.Copy !req
39. Kars could survive in lava for a few minutes.Copy !req
40. The Earth gave birth to life.Copy !req
41. But now! Alas! In the end...Copy !req
42. Kars had conquered the Earth!Copy !req
43. Long, long ago, far earlier than man's first recorded historyCopy !req
44. a certain group of creatures evolved on our planet.Copy !req
45. They could only live at night, as they died when exposed to the sun.Copy !req
46. So they lived below ground.Copy !req
47. Even without the sun, they led long lives feeding on other living things.Copy !req
48. Early humans that appeared feared them as gods or demons.Copy !req
49. Few died, so they did not have many children and their population was small.Copy !req
50. They knew no strife and lived in peace.Copy !req
51. But then...Copy !req
52. a genius was born among them.Copy !req
53. There is strength hidden in this body, abilities undreamed of.Copy !req
54. I will unlock greater power!Copy !req
55. The genius created a stone mask.Copy !req
56. The mask granted him undying power, but he required more life energy.Copy !req
57. He had to consume more creatures to live.Copy !req
58. If left unchecked, he would eventually consume all life.Copy !req
59. His brethren began to fear the mask and its gifted creator!Copy !req
60. His existence is a threat!Copy !req
61. He has to be removed from this world!Copy !req
62. We have to destroy him!Copy !req
63. Fool! Don't you wish to conquer the sun?Copy !req
64. Don't you wish to rule over all?Copy !req
65. Don't you wish to purge your fears?Copy !req
66. Then fall.Copy !req
67. The genius slaughtered all his brethren, including the parents who raised him.Copy !req
68. He and one companion took the two surviving babies and left.Copy !req
69. They set off on a journey in search of ultimate power.Copy !req
70. And ten thousand years later, that power was in his hands!Copy !req
71. He's a god. He's become a god.Copy !req
72. Humans can't stand before a god!Copy !req
73. Submission is our only chance!Copy !req
74. What was that?
Did you just say something, JoJo?Copy !req
75. Die! Overdrive!Copy !req
76. Ha... mon?Copy !req
77. Did you say "Hamon Overdrive"?Copy !req
78. JoJo!Copy !req
79. That shock!Copy !req
80. I'm melting! No!Copy !req
81. My leg is melting!Copy !req
82. What? It's like he used...!Copy !req
83. It can't be!Copy !req
84. It is! That was Hamon, you dimwit!Copy !req
85. I conquered the sun, and you still thought Hamon was beyond me?Copy !req
86. W-What?Copy !req
87. And it looks like my Hamon is hundreds of times more potent than yours.Copy !req
88. Hundreds of times more potent?Copy !req
89. It's like being burned by the sun!Copy !req
90. His flesh is liquefying and then vaporizing!Copy !req
91. So how do you like that taste of your own medicine?Copy !req
92. An excellent response.Copy !req
93. Well, let me ease your suffering.Copy !req
94. JoJo!Copy !req
95. This is it. I'm going to die.Copy !req
96. It's over for me.Copy !req
97. JoJo accepted this fact completely.Copy !req
98. He felt no fear, no pain, no regret.Copy !req
99. He thought, "I did all I could."Copy !req
100. Before the epitome of evil, he watched his dying self with ice-cold awareness.Copy !req
101. Von Stroheim was no different.Copy !req
102. Unable to move, he felt he knew how it felt to be a frog swallowed by a snake.Copy !req
103. This way of breathing...Copy !req
104. To send a Hamon-user like you into the black pit of death...Copy !req
105. Hamon really is a poetic vehicle!Copy !req
106. Hamon...Copy !req
107. far greater than mine...Copy !req
108. Sail into the infinite abyss of oblivion!Copy !req
109. Hamon?Copy !req
110. What?Copy !req
111. The Red Stone!Copy !req
112. What?Copy !req
113. The Red Stone!Copy !req
114. The Red Stone of Aja!Copy !req
115. Why did JoJo hold the Red Stone toward Kars?Copy !req
116. Even he didn't know!Copy !req
117. It was instinctive. He felt the Red Stone being drawn toward Hamon.Copy !req
118. But JoJo's body understood.Copy !req
119. His body moved in order to survive.Copy !req
120. JoJo's will to live pushed his body into action!Copy !req
121. T-The Red Stone is a Hamon amplifier.Copy !req
122. That energy made the volcano's eruption reach a sudden peak!Copy !req
123. T-The whole slab they were on was blasted into the sky!Copy !req
124. S-Such tremendous force!Copy !req
125. But do you think a little eruption will be enough to get rid of me, JoJo?Copy !req
126. I'll become a bird to escape!Copy !req
127. Goodbye forever, JoJo!Copy !req
128. Bless our Mother Earth!
It shot my arm all they way up here!Copy !req
129. Now, Kars!Copy !req
130. Your line is, "Did you plan this, too, JoJo?"Copy !req
131. Did you plan this, too...Copy !req
132. For an instant, Kars was distracted by JoJo's arm! One fatal instant!Copy !req
133. A hot chunk of rock he could have dodged launched him higher!Copy !req
134. Did you plan this, too, JoJo?Copy !req
135. What do you think?
I planned every little detail!Copy !req
136. I stacked the whole deck!Copy !req
137. That's a total lie, but it'll drive Kars crazy!Copy !req
138. The material released in the eruption reached escape velocity!Copy !req
139. Even the Earth's power couldn't kill Kars!Copy !req
140. But instead...Copy !req
141. it blasted him out of the atmosphere!Copy !req
142. Stars? N-No!Copy !req
143. It's over.Copy !req
144. Granny...Copy !req
145. Von Stroheim...Copy !req
146. Speedwagon...Copy !req
147. Smokey...Copy !req
148. And Lisa Lisa...Copy !req
149. Farewell, everyone.Copy !req
150. Jo...Copy !req
151. JoJo!Copy !req
152. Eight hours later, von Stroheim returned alive to tell Speedwagon this:Copy !req
153. On February 28, 1939, Joseph Joestar passed away on Isola di Volgano.Copy !req
154. I'm in outer space?Copy !req
155. I'll use jets of air to change my trajectory and return to Earth!Copy !req
156. I-It's not working!Copy !req
157. I-I'm freezing!Copy !req
158. The air is freezing around me!Copy !req
159. It turns to ice the moment it comes out of me!Copy !req
160. I-I can't change direction!Copy !req
161. I can't go back!Copy !req
162. Kars never returned to the Earth.Copy !req
163. He became half-mineral, half-animal and floated forever through space.Copy !req
164. And though he wished for death, he was unable to die.Copy !req
165. So eventually, he stopped thinking.Copy !req
166. Our Father who art in heaven,Copy !req
167. hallowed be thy name.Copy !req
168. Thy kingdom come,Copy !req
169. thy will be done,Copy !req
170. on earth, as it is in heaven.Copy !req
171. Goodbye, JoJo.Copy !req
172. Now that I think of it, we only met six months ago.Copy !req
173. But I'll always remember you.Copy !req
174. Always.Copy !req
175. Come, Erina, you mustn't catch cold.Copy !req
176. Let's go home.Copy !req
177. Just a bit longer.Copy !req
178. Guess who?Copy !req
179. Hey, everybody!Copy !req
180. I finally got to New York and nobody was there to meet me!Copy !req
181. So I heard you were all at a funeral.
I looked high and low!Copy !req
182. Hey, Coach Lisa Lisa!
Are you all healed up?Copy !req
183. Messina, you're here too!Copy !req
184. I want to ask von Stroheim if he can fix my hand up with some gadgets.Copy !req
185. But it looks like war with the Germans.Copy !req
186. Hey, now! What are you thinking?Copy !req
187. This is a funeral, you idiot!Copy !req
188. Who's an idiot?Copy !req
189. Hey, did you just call me an idiot?Copy !req
190. Just calm down. Let's go have a talk.Copy !req
191. It's...Copy !req
192. No way!Copy !req
193. Hey! Don't start any trouble!Copy !req
194. You aren't getting away with calling me an idiot!Copy !req
195. JoJo!Copy !req
196. JoJo's alive!Copy !req
197. Alive?Copy !req
198. H-Hang on, now!
What's with all the surprise?Copy !req
199. It's like you saw a ghost!Copy !req
200. Bwah! Why's my name on a headstone?Copy !req
201. D-Don't tell me this is...Copy !req
202. JoJo!Copy !req
203. You're still recovering, so you shouldn't stand in the rain!Copy !req
204. Take this.Copy !req
205. I-It's Suzi Quatro.Copy !req
206. What's that ring on her finger?Copy !req
207. Y-You don't know about my wife, either?Copy !req
208. Your wife?Copy !req
209. Your wife? Oh, my!Copy !req
210. Being introduced as your wife...Copy !req
211. It makes me blush!Copy !req
212. Right?Copy !req
213. Don't "right" me!Copy !req
214. Back when the volcano erupted...Copy !req
215. the rock I was on shielded me and fell into the sea.Copy !req
216. A fishing boat picked me up.Copy !req
217. Then you nursed me back to health in Venice for two weeks.Copy !req
218. But they haven't heard.Copy !req
219. You sent a telegram, right?Copy !req
220. T-Telegram?Copy !req
221. Yeah, you said you would!Copy !req
222. Let's not get all clicky now.Copy !req
223. I'm sorry! I forgot!Copy !req
224. Oh, no! Unbelievable!
What is that woman thinking?Copy !req
225. Get back here!Copy !req
226. JoJo is alive!Copy !req
227. I said I'm sorry!Copy !req
228. Sorry doesn't cut it!Copy !req
229. JoJo...Copy !req
230. Later, Lisa Lisa, Elizabeth Joestar, told JoJo she was his mother.Copy !req

232. In 1948, she married a Hollywood screenwriter.Copy !req

236. and helped to further science and medicine.Copy !req
237. In 1952, he died of a heart attack at age 89.Copy !req
238. He remained single.Copy !req
239. Smokey Brown worked his way through college, majoring in political scienceCopy !req
240. and became the first black mayor in Georgia, his home state.Copy !req
241. Rudol von Stroheim never saw JoJo again.Copy !req
242. In 1943, he died as a proud German soldier, fighting in Stalingrad.Copy !req
243. We are the world's greatest!Copy !req
244. Time flowed onward...Copy !req
245. And JoJo...Copy !req
246. Oh, I bumped you. Are you okay?Copy !req
247. Oh, dear.
You should watch where you're going.Copy !req
248. You're right. I'm fine.Copy !req
249. We all make mistakes.Copy !req
250. Wait a minute. Are you Japanese?Copy !req
251. Yeah, why?Copy !req
252. Then I take that back!Copy !req
253. Alitalia flight 285 for Tokyo is now boarding.Copy !req
254. My only daughter has been married to a Japanese man for over 20 years now.Copy !req
255. Why did she get married on the other side of the world?Copy !req
256. My own grandson doesn't know my face!Copy !req

261. The pillars awaken from ages-long sleepCopy !req
262. Crimson bloodCopy !req
263. Summons the valorous to stand upCopy !req
264. If inherited love is called fateCopy !req
265. Then take another step with smiling eyesCopy !req
