Jonathan won his battle,
but lost everything in the process.
I brought him here three days ago.
He's totally alone.
If I can give him the slightest hope...
EPISODE 4: "OVERDRIVE"
Spirit! What Jonathan needs now is spirit!
His room is lit in the middle of the night?
What's going on?
That woman!
Has she been attending to JoJo all this time?
The skin on her hands is cracked and bleeding.
She must have cooled his burns hundreds, if not thousands of times!
Thank goodness!
He's conscious!
The worst has passed. You'll be all right.
You've been looking after me all this time?
You...
How could you be here?
That face...
No, never mind.
It couldn't be.
You resemble...
Resemble whom?
Erina Pendleton?
It's been a while, Jonathan Joestar.
JoJo...
Erina, you've matured!
Rather, not so much me as you!
But...
I'm very glad we could meet again.
Yes.
I was never much for sentimentality, anyway.
I'll come back later.
I guess Speedwagon should let lovers be lovers.
I must have fainted.
Oh, dear!
But your arm is broken!
I'll always be there for you.
Some people are just fated to meet each other.
WHITECHAPEL, LONDON
You're out playing too late, filthy harlot!
Most humans are bound by the laws of good.
They fear the power of evil.
But a rare few are unfettered by good...
the evil elite.
I like you, Jack the Ripper.
Submit to me, Dio!
I will show you a world of wondrous power and unprecedented bliss.
A world without worry.
Only Speedwagon and I know what transpired that tragic day.
The police think it was an accident.
But where is the mask?
I didn't find it in the rubble.
I want to believe it was smashed to pieces with everything else.
It has to have been. I want to put this behind me.
JoJo!
Erina...
Who is he? He's been following us.
Is something wrong?
No, everything's fi...
Mr. Jonathan Joestar.
And the lady must be Miss Erina Pendleton.
Who are you?
You did well to survive against the mask's power!
JoJo!
That's right, lad. Squeeze every bit of air out of your lungs.
JoJo!
He's injured! How could you?
The breathlessness is only temporary. No need to worry, my lady.
What on Earth?
What's happening?
I feel so...
My arm!
Baron Zeppeli at your service.
Courage alone won't defeat the mask.
But my arm was shattered!
The pain is almost gone.
I can even lift this rock!
That's incredible!
What did you do to me? Who are you?
One question at a time, please, JoJo.
I did nothing. Your breathing killed the pain.
Why did you do that to me?
How do you know my na...
He disappeared.
I said one question at a time, JoJo.
I'll show you the answer.
Follow me.
What you will see will change your destiny, yet again.
I struck your diaphragm
and altered your breathing.
You altered it how?
Allow me to demonstrate its energy.
What does he plan to do?
What's happening?
The water!
Those strange ripples!
What I'm about to show you is the same energy that removed your pain.
Don't!
The frog is unharmed!
That was Sendo.
Sendo?
Hamon, or ripple energy, creates Sendo.
My Hamon energy rippled through the frog's body and split the rock.
I know, JoJo. I know the mask is still intact.
Dio, the mask's master, holds it!
What?
Did you just say Dio?
Indeed, my lad!
I have sought the mask for decades!
To one day destroy it and its owner!
You are already destined to fight against the stone mask.
You must master Sendo or face certain death!
You, and all humanity!
This is...
JoJo, what's going on?
What does he want?
Erina...
I mustn't involve her in this madness!
Anyone but her...
Astounding!
The blossoms!
Unbelievable!
The Hamon energy left from healing his arm revived the blossoms!
This JoJo must possess tremendous strength and talent.
He may be able to save the world yet!
Little by little, my power is returning.
Such is the food chain.
Pigs eat grass. Humans eat pigs.
And we feed on humans.
Humans are our food... We are the true masters.
Jack! Dig in!
I'll start with a few wicked yet submissive servants.
Then, the world!
It will all belong to me.
Humanity will kneel at my feet!
1 WEEK LATER
I studied the art of Hamon under the tutelage
of the mysterious Zeppeli,
and renewed my resolve to defeat Dio.
This is why.
JoJo, let me tell you why I am hunting the mask.
It started when I was a young Will A. Zeppeli.
I had an insatiable appetite for the unknown.
I traveled the world as part of my father's archaeological team.
One day, when we were excavating an Aztec site...
You mean...
Indeed. It was my misfortune to unearth that cursed mask.
On the voyage home, a member of our team donned the mask and chaos ensued.
In a bloodthirsty rampage,
he dismembered my colleagues on the spot.
He murdered the entire crew, all 58 of them.
I dove into the sea to escape, but he followed me!
Suddenly, dawn broke!
In the light of the morning sun, I saw his face.
It was the expedition leader...
my father.
The ship drifted away with the mask still onboard.
I was overcome with fear.
I was horrified the power of the mask might one day be unleashed again.
I knew I had to find a way to stop it.
It's what led me to the way of Hamon.
Hamon energy comes from the flow of one's own blood.
Conversely, the mask drains energy from the blood of others.
The mask and Hamon are two sides of the same coin... identical energy!
It all makes sense!
To stop one ripple, one must use another!
Precisely. It will disintegrate
when another powerful Hamon energy collides against it.
And the energy waves created by Hamon...
are the same as those created by the sun!
Baron Zeppeli, you must teach me how to use Hamon.
I will endure that which must be endured!
I'll teach you, like it or not.
You will be Dio's first target in his conquest of the world, JoJo.
Listen, JoJo.
Blood plays an intricate part in breathing.
Your blood carries oxygen from your lungs.
The oxygen in your blood affects your body's cells.
Your cells make up your body.
Like ripples in the water,
breathing properly creates Hamon in your body.
And that creates energy!
He extended his arm!
How the?
It's called a Zoom Punch.
I dislocated my shoulder and extended my arm!
Hamon energy dulls the pain.
JoJo, do not break the rhythm of your breathing.
Hamon energy is sensitive to emotional disturbances.
-Yes, sir! -Hey!
Mr. Joestar!
Speedwagon!
We're headed for Windknight's Lot?
That's right. It seems a character resembling Dio has been sighted there.
Many have gone missing in the town as of late.
We have no time. JoJo, your final test will be combat.
Yes, sir. I am ready.
I as well!
Here's the entrance to Windknight's Lot!
We must act while the sun is still shining.
I left without bidding Erina a proper farewell.
I will return to her!
What was that?
Coachman, why have we stopped?
Careful, there is no sunlight in the tunnel!
Ho, coachman!
Is it Dio?
Where did he go?
Both of you, step away from the horses.
What the bloody blazes! He was hiding inside the horse!
Mr. Joestar, this guy... This guy is bad news!
He's even crueler and more demented than Dio!
So Dio's already gathered evil minions!
Gentlemen, stand aside.
I'll handle this.
He's a vampire zombie.
They feed on the living to gain eternal life.
But he's a mere puppet, completely under Dio's control.
Behold the most delicious terror you have ever gazed upon!
Ghastly grey your faces will turn.
For I will savor the warmth of your blood!
Wriggle in despair, little worms!
Now, what's his next move?
If I were him...
JoJo, this method of thinking is key.
You must first think like the enemy!
If I were him, I'd begin by cutting off access to the sun!
He's destroyed the entrance to the tunnel!
Jump, Speedwagon!
Here he comes!
He's covered in knives!
So that's how he skewered the coachman.
Hamon Cutter!
My Hamon Cutter is far sharper than your knives.
JoJo, now for your next lesson.
Consider the flea.
A miniscule insect, is it not?
Despite its size, the flea challenges the colossal foe that is a human.
Is the flea courageous?
I think not.
So what is courage?
Courage is knowing fear and making that fear your own!
Fear disrupts breathing!
Conquer fear, and your breathing will never fail you!
Hamon breathing comes from courage!
The anthem of humanity is the hymn of bravery!
Our greatness is that of courage!
No matter how powerful, a zombie knows nothing of courage!
It is a flea!
Sendo Wave Kick!
My Hamon energy has smashed this monster's body.
And without spilling the wine!
JoJo, you will finish him off.
Melt his entire brain.
That's the only way to destroy a vampire.
Time for the slaughter, you naughty little pigs!
I'll carve you into mincemeat and gobble you up!
You're really going after him?
It must be done.
But JoJo will do it alone.
JoJo.
You must destroy him without spilling a single drop.
One last lesson, JoJo.
In the land of Norway, it's said the north wind made the Vikings.
Spill a drop and even if you destroy that monster...
I will abandon you.
Listen to yourself! Have you gone mad?
Silence!
I'll do it.
The north wind made the Vikings.
It's a labyrinth.
It was made to create confusing shadows even when lit.
No! The fire!
The light will only make me a target!
But now he could ambush me.
How fragrant! The smell of fresh blood.
I must first think like the enemy.
He must be close.
I must then make fear my own.
I will control my breathing.
Come! I'll chomp down on your carotid and pluck it out with my teeth!
The winds of the Arctic forged the mighty Vikings.
Challenges can create opportunity.
Will that wine create a Viking?
If not, then Dio has already won.
These ripples! It's Hamon!
So my north wind is this wine!
I feel the rippling from the wine.
Through the glass,
through my arm, through my body, through the ground...
I feel his life force!
The wine is a Hamon detector!
Trembling heart!
Intense heat!
I've found you, vampire zombie!
Pierce this wall!
Sendo Hamon Overdrive!
Come! I must guzzle your blood!
It seems you've discovered the significance of the wine, JoJo.
The north wind has made you a Viking, after all!
NEXT EPISODE
We meet at last.
I lay my curse upon you!
Can he overcome this delusion?
A duel between heroes!
Dio, I'm ending your madness!
