TIBET, 1863
For three years you've withstood the rigors of harsh training.
You can run for dozens of miles without losing your breath.
We shall soon begin the most advanced training yet...
The way of the Celestial Gate.
I shall tell you again, Zeppeli...
If you decide to continue on this path,
there will be no escaping your deadly fate.
The time for turning back is now. You can still start a new life.
Master Tonpetty...
please read deeper into the wavelength of my life.
When am I destined to die? Where will it happen?
And with that knowledge, what will you do?
I am in pursuit of something greater. Something I cannot abandon.
To fulfill my purpose, I must know.
Once I know the date of my death, I will accept what remains.
I will have contentment.
If your decision is firm...
I will tell you.
In a chamber of old, suffused with the stench of death,
a child shall open the way.
A young lion bound by chain awaits you, his liberator and future.
You shall set your own wounds aflame
before a cruel death befalls you!
Baron Zeppeli...
Be careful, Baron!
Here I come, JoJo!
A young lion bound by chain awaits you, his liberator and future.
EPISODE 7: "SORROWFUL SUCCESSOR"
This choker won't budge!
And Tarukus hasn't revealed
any of his tricks for fighting in this room.
A chilling prospect!
Come, fools! You wish to attack me with your "Hamon"?
You cowards will never lay a single finger on me!
What's the matter? Scared stiff?
Well done, Baron Zeppeli!
Take this, Tarukus!
Tornado Overdrive!
He just...
Above me?
No, the chain's below you!
You're both right!
I call this the Hell Heaven Snake Kill!
I'll strangle both of you at once!
I can't breathe.
My Hamon won't...
Jo...
JoJo...
Master Dio, I have eliminated him, as you willed.
His...
His cruelty is too much to bear!
Mr. Joestar!
Still breathing, and with a broken neck?
Allow me to finish you off, young one.
Jo...
JoJo...
The other one is still alive, too?
This is my ultimate...
My ultimate...
My ultimate trump card! I give it to you, JoJo!
JoJo, take up my torch!
Ultimate Deep Pass Overdrive!
JoJo, I have given you all of my life energy.
Baron...
Baron Zeppeli!
I'll crush you underfoot, like the vermin you are!
You...
Mr. Joestar is hanging Tarukus!
Baron Zeppeli's Hamon must have healed JoJo's neck!
Idiot, you think you can yank that open? You, a pathetic human?
I couldn't pull apart that steel
even with the power Master Dio gave me!
You'll pay, Tarukus!
Jonathan!
What the...
Your twisted spirit... Your grotesque madness...
You sold the depths of your soul to Dio.
His power cannot be contained! Mr. Joestar has transformed!
Baron Zeppeli's power lives on in Mr. Joestar!
Their powers are working together!
Tarukus, not a single bone of yours will remain in this world.
I will banish your evil spirit!
May history devour you for all eternity!
Enough talk, you bloody brat!
Your little trick didn't work!
It's over!
Baron Zeppeli!
Baron Zeppeli...
It...
It can't be.
Without you...
Without you, what are we supposed to do?
JoJo, you fool! Have you lost your wits?
This is no time to mourn!
Now...
Now you are...
Go quickly now.
Defeat Dio.
-Destroy the mask. -Baron Zeppeli!
I...
I am contented with my fate.
When I was young, I had a wife.
But I left my family behind to find the mask.
I am satisfied with my fate.
I accept everything now.
In the end, I bestowed my complete self to you.
JoJo...
you are my hope.
Baron Zeppeli...
You are a son and a best friend to me.
And now I will live on...
within you.
The 19th century novelist William Thackeray once wrote,
"To love and win is the best thing.
To love and lose is the next best."
And so JoJo inherited the will of yet another.
His spirit and his way of life.
Farewell, Baron Zeppeli.
Please...
Please spare my child.
So madam, what you meant to say is...
you will offer me your life, as long as I stay away from your child.
Is that correct?
Please, anything but my child.
You move me to tears. Okay.
I, nor any of my cohorts,
will lay a finger on your precious child.
On my name, Dio, I swear!
While they were human,
all of my servants succumbed to their fears
and willingly gave their souls to me.
But I must say, you will be happier if you and your child join us.
You'll be free from worry. No sadness, no hatred toward each other!
Please, just spare my child!
Just this child...
Okay...
My sweet baby!
As I said, we wouldn't lay a finger on him.
You, his devoted mother, devoured him yourself!
A tragedy of your own choosing.
Something's different about Mr. Joestar.
His expression is pensive.
And I am the same.
We must endure our sadness and anger.
We cannot grieve until Dio has fallen!
Mr. Joestar, Dio said he will wipe out the town in one day and one night!
Zombies will breed like rats!
What is happening down there?
Are the people of Windknight's Lot still alive?
I wonder if my sister's all right...
We must hurry.
Mr. Adams!
Poco, what are you doing roaming about at this hour?
Mr. Adams, what about my sister? And the town? Are they all right?
Are they all right?
All right?
She's livid, boy!
She'll lock you in the barn when you get home!
-I guess the town is safe. -Let's move!
Thanks, Mr. Adams!
A child!
I want to drink the fresh, warm blood of a child!
He's already a zombie!
Think you can outpace me?
The town may already be...
Your conjecture is correct.
The outskirts of town are overrun with zombies.
Another one?
My name is Dire.
A kick? But why so slow?
Take this! Thunder Split Attack!
Impressive!
The usual reaction is to pull your head back,
not charge forward with a headbutt!
Wait, Jonathan Joestar!
I am human.
Forgive me.
I wished to test the techniques you learned from Baron Zeppeli.
Did you say Zeppeli?
Zeppeli and I have been through much together.
We trained together under the same master for 20 years.
Indeed.
I am Straizo.
Read this.
A letter...
It's from...
Baron Zeppeli!
It's a letter from Baron Zeppeli asking for our help.
He writes about the location of the mask
and the man who bears it.
This is our master, Tonpetty.
My respects.
You're Baron Zeppeli's teacher, Master Tonpetty.
Where I come from, shaking hands is not customary.
Our greeting is such.
And where is Zeppeli now?
I see. Zeppeli has passed.
Even if we had come earlier, his fate would not have changed.
But this man called Dio is in possession of a devastating power!
His life energy is both evil and staggering.
This town is now mine, and it took less than a single night.
NEXT EPISODE
You fell for it, fool!
I will show you no mercy!
I'll feel no guilt for killing you!
Come, JoJo!
