I have proof of your devilish plot, Dio!
He's caught me.
But I won't run.
I came back here to fight JoJo!
EPISODE 3: "YOUTH WITH DIO"
I found the antidote.
I gave it to Father moments ago.
Dio, I'm heartbroken.
We were raised as brothers, and now I must turn you in.
I'm sorry.
I'm certain you don't believe me,
but I can assure you my words are genuine.
I would expect nothing less from you.
JoJo, my selfishness is shameful, but I have but one final favor to ask.
Please, give me time. Time to turn myself in.
What's this?
I expected Dio to resist like a cornered beast!
JoJo, how did you make it out of that slum alive?
I'll distract him, then with one quick jab...
I regret everything!
My meager upbringing has made me greedy!
I've been a fool.
Poisoning, out of greed, the very man who raised me!
That's why I came back... to confess!
If I wanted to run, I could have gone anywhere!
That's true.
-I want to make amends. -Dio...
Careful, Jonathan. Don't believe a word that snake says.
You look puzzled. Allow me to introduce myself.
I'm Robert E. O. Speedwagon, the meddler.
I was worried about Mr. Joestar,
so I followed him back from that London slum.
I like you and your naive morality, Mr. Joestar.
So I'll let you in on something.
I grew up in the worst slums you can imagine.
I've known my share of scumbags.
I can sniff out the good and the bad.
And this guy stinks worse than a puddle of puke!
I've never met a man more wicked than he!
Wicked because of circumstance? No!
This man was born evil!
A familiar face, I presume?
This man has confessed to selling you poison, Dio.
I've heard enough.
This is truly a shame.
I loved you as if you were my own son.
Father, you must rest.
I shall retire to my chamber.
I refuse to watch my son's incarceration.
JoJo, do what you must.
Yes, Father.
So this is the end?
He won't be caught here.
His countenance, those three moles on his ear...
He was born with the devil's own luck.
JoJo, I want you to be the one to handcuff me.
For our years together.
All right.
Mr. Joestar, be careful!
JoJo, humans have their limits... don't you agree?
I've learned something in my short life.
The more one schemes,
the more unpredictable life becomes.
So long as one remains human...
You've gone mad! What do you mean?
I cast aside my humanness, JoJo!
I'm about to transcend humankind!
The stone mask! How!
Watch out!
Shoot him now!
And I'll use your blood, JoJo!
He...
Father!
Fire!
JoJo...
Father...
I should have dodged that knife.
I let the mask distract me.
You sacrificed yourself.
Keep this.
It was your mother's.
Father!
That wound is fatal.
How could I let this happen?
Sir Joestar... I told you...
It's all my fault.
If only I had banished Dio Brando's father to that island prison.
Dio Brando's father?
When I first joined the force,
we arrested a man trying to pawn that ring.
It was Dio's father, Dario Brando.
Yes, I am certain that is my ring.
We had a pair made when we were engaged.
A burglar named Dario Brando was trying to pawn it.
Brando!
Sir Joestar thought he owed a life debt to Dario Brando.
But Brando was just a devious criminal
foraging for gold at the accident site!
Crikey!
He said that I gave him the ring, did he not?
That he did, sir.
And what a loathsome lie it was!
It wasn't a lie.
I did give it to him.
Is that true?
He is innocent.
Release him at once.
Why would you let him go?
If I had been born into poverty, I too may have done the same.
Sell this and buy something for your family.
Turn away from crime and embrace morality.
Sir Joestar knew the whole truth before he adopted Dio.
Stay with me, Father. The doctors will save you.
JoJo, please don't blame Dio.
The responsibility lies with me.
I held you to a different standard because you are my flesh and blood.
Dio must have felt I was being unfair.
I surely drove him to this end.
Please bury him next to his father.
Dad...
JoJo, it's not so bad...
to die in the arms of your own son.
Sir Joestar!
What a tragedy!
His candid kindness was the end of him!
No!
Sir Joestar passed his noble spirit on to Jonathan!
It is his unwavering will, his pride, and his future!
I normally despise blubbering blue bloods.
But this father and son are different.
They live life with no regrets.
They're the greatest spoon-fed blokes I know!
The body!
Dio Brando's body is gone!
You, cop! Get away from the window!
His head...
He's still alive!
How? We filled him with bullets!
Watch out! He may be armed!
It can't be!
He's coming this way!
What are you waiting for? Shoot!
Dio, stop right there!
Dio!
Hurry up and pull the trigger, Jonathan!
He's not dead, even after that.
I don't understand. This can't be happening.
How could this be?
JoJo...
This marvelous power comes from the mask...
and your father's blood!
He's sucking the life out of that man!
Dio, what have you become?
You're a monster!
I don't know what to think...
The knife... Father's death... Blood... Dio... The mask...
My notes... The brain... Unknown abilities... Unknown strength...
Dio, you're no longer human!
Father...
Stop! You don't stand a chance!
I've never seen the like!
Anything that powerful is a monster!
You're right.
I too feel the pangs of fear.
But Dio, I can't let you go on like this.
It's my fault. I'll finish it!
Jonathan, stop! He'll murder you!
The brain! That's it! The mask unlocks the brain's hidden potential!
To beat Dio...
The bodies!
Warm blood...
I want to lick it all up!
Your delicious blood... May I?
He's still my brother...
Father, lend me your strength.
I must be strong. Dio is no longer human.
He's a demon!
Watch out!
I can't let Dio take another life!
He caught it!
Even after it went through his hand!
And his head wound from the bullet has already healed!
He's immortal!
Pathetic weakling!
JoJo!
Allow me to enjoy my powers a bit longer.
Even I don't know the extent of my gift.
Hiding?
I told you, JoJo. Human scheming has its limits.
Your struggle is futile.
Cowering behind the curtains, are we? Come on out!
This is no scheme. It's courage!
He's regenerating while he burns!
Is that the source of his immortality?
This fire isn't enough!
What are you doing?
Leave this place at once, Speedwagon! This no longer concerns you!
You can't go up! The fire is spreading!
Mr. Joestar, what are you thinking?
Rise, Dio!
Dio, your power ends here!
Mr. Joestar, don't!
Is he using himself as bait to protect his friend?
No matter.
Your blood shall heal my burns.
Useless!
Falling from this height won't hurt me!
Now the fire has cornered you!
Father...
Father, I will miss you.
May you rise to heaven with these flames.
Help me defeat him.
Embolden these flames!
What is Jonathan doing?
No! He couldn't be!
Stop! You mustn't do it!
Here he comes.
Utterly pathetic!
In an instant, JoJo's life flashed before him.
My youth... My life with Dio...
I'll settle this once and for all!
He's trying to make the fire burn as hot as possible!
If the fire burns Dio faster than he can regenerate, he'll die!
So Jonathan waited for the flames to spread before going to the roof!
Stop!
How dare you!
The home of my ancestors is burning.
Father is dead, I have nothing left. Nothing but my life.
Flames, take me!
I'll end your evil ambition with my life!
Goodbye, JoJo!
For a moment, I admired your courage.
Cry tears of joy as you perish alongside Daddy, fool!
I'm superhuman! Invincible! Immortal! I shall rule the world!
JoJo, you gave me this power!
I can't reach!
Dio, I'm back!
What? How?
I won't let you go!
Your fate is sealed!
Here! Take the knife you used to murder my father!
I've crushed his arms to dust and he's on fire.
Yet he holds on!
Very well!
Into the inferno we shall go!
But you'll die alone!
I'll find my escape, no matter how hot the flames burn!
Father! Lend me your strength!
The cry of desperation!
Did the cry reach his father's soul?
Or was it some unconscious awareness of the intricacies of his family's home?
JoJo kicked the wall! Pushing Dio onto...
What the...
...the guardian deity of the Joestar family.
How could a worm like you...
I completely forgot!
The harder you hit him, the tougher he gets!
JoJo!
This wasn't what my life was supposed to be.
Mr. Joestar!
Father...
You're alive.
You're alive!
He...
He won!
There it is.
NEXT EPISODE
Courage is knowing fear!
This guy's worse than Dio!
Wriggle in despair!
Who do I look like?
Please, teach me how to use Hamon.
