Poco, what were you doing wandering about at this hour?
Papa...
At least you're safe. Where's Sis?
She went out to look for you.
She... She left the house?
Poco, what's the matter? You're acting strange.
Sis!
EPISODE 8: "BLOODY BATTLE! JOJO & DIO"
For instance...
Behold this lovely rose.
You, my dear, are like this rose.
Pay attention, mademoiselle.
Once this flower blooms, it will soon wither away.
Such a pity, is it not?
What a wonderful age, sixteen! So pure and innocent!
Brimming with delicious energy isn't she, Lord Dio!
The ill-mannered are unworthy of life.
So, mademoiselle...
I offer you a choice.
I can make you young and beautiful for all eternity.
However, I am not one to force affection.
You are free to choose your own destiny.
Devil.
What? I couldn't quite hear.
You're a damned devil! Curse you forever!
How regrettable our little rendezvous must end.
May I introduce you to...
the dreaded Doobie.
Since I am not to your liking,
I wish you joy with him.
Farewell, mademoiselle.
Who's there?
Who indeed?
I will not give a zombie the honor of hearing my name!
-Sis! -Poco!
I bit 'em! I bit 'em! Bit 'em lots!
There's something beneath that mask of his!
What in the...
That zombie is full of snakes!
Venomous cobras and flesh-eating vipers!
Surprised, are you?
Those snakes bit his face, and not just once!
Not again.
I don't have time for your sick games, Dio!
Impressive. He managed to extract the poison.
Extraordinary that he can control his blood flow after only brief training.
Before passing, Baron Zeppeli gave his own life energy to Mr. Joestar.
I'll use a bit of Hamon to boil the blood of those snakes!
Sis!
-Poco! -Sis!
I'm back from hell, Dio.
Still alive, JoJo?
I suppose that means you've defeated my two knights.
Lord Dio, we await your order to eliminate him!
Allow me to scar his flesh with my fangs!
Dio!
No. This one...
This one belongs to me, Dio!
Allow me to be frank, JoJo.
I didn't want to have to do this myself.
We were raised together under the same roof.
I do not delight in turning you into my undead servant.
That's why I left this business to my knights.
But I underestimated you.
Seeing you alive makes me realize I was too soft a ruler.
Which is why I have no misgivings about slaughtering you now!
The feeling is mutual. I feel no guilt in burying you today!
By the way, what became
of your mustachioed friend with the gaudy hat?
Did he run off?
Dio, I shall confess.
It pains me as a gentleman, but...
I, Jonathan Joestar, am going to kill you, Dio,
out of revenge!
Come, JoJo!
Dire!
JoJo, stand aside.
My time to exact revenge is now.
Zeppeli and I went through two decades of harsh training together.
Dio, I shall send you to the depths of hell!
Wait! Dio has hidden abilities!
Hmmm...you have interesting moves.
So this is what you humans can do with enough training.
In just one night, I have surpassed the abilities of all men!
Ha! You think you can defeat me with that tired routine?
You fell for it, fool!
Thunder Cross Split Attack!
Incredible! By crossing his arms he can attack while keeping his guard up!
It's the perfect move!
No fighter has ever escaped it.
He's...
Useless!
I-I can't move!
He flash froze him!
Dio vaporized his body's moisture, freezing him instantly!
Dire can't send Hamon into Dio unless his blood is flowing!
He's a monster! He's frozen almost Dire's entire body!
You...
So feeble!
Did you really think your pathetic self stood a chance against me? Fool!
So you've all come to die like dogs!
Allow me to present you with the most scrumptiously savage death!
-Dire! -Stop!
JoJo, it's time.
I'll be sending you into oblivion next!
Dire!
I imbued that rose with Hamon. Feel its thorns?
Dire!
How...
How dare you scar my face?
Dire...
-Speedwagon! -Here!
Dio, I now know how to overwhelm
your freezing attack,
and how to use my Hamon against you.
All thanks to Dire.
I'll transfer my Hamon to Blueford's sword of luck and pluck!
How dare you use that vile...
that vile Hamon on me!
You've pushed your luck far enough!
Enjoy becoming zombie feed!
They'll tear your frightened faces straight off!
So this is Dio!
The most evil, most despicable being the world has ever seen!
That composed, refined persona was just a guise!
Now that he's had a humiliating taste of Hamon, we witness a true demon!
I will show you no mercy!
I am Pajyu!
Jones!
Pluton!
Barnum!
Needle Vein Strike!
Roses are living things, so Hamon will remain inside of them.
But steel is different.
I have to maintain contact.
There is a great horde of them.
I'll handle them for you.
As far as I can tell, Dio is as swift as a leopard.
Thanks to Baron Zeppeli, Jonathan just might keep up.
But Dio is strong enough to pulverize flesh and bone with ease!
The battle will end the moment they meet!
I'll squeeze the life out of you!
I shall rid the world of your demonic ambition!
When did he grab those roses!
Now!
Good show!
He snuck around to Dio's right, his blind side!
Damn! JoJo is a veteran fighter!
Yes!
He finally defeated Dio!
Wrong,
you fools!
I...
I'm frozen!
So feeble!
Now you will become one of my servants of the night!
Your carotid is quiet supple between my fingers!
It's so pleasantly pliant and warm.
I must kick!
My legs are frozen, too!
Useless!
Give up, JoJo!
Move and your delicate vein will burst!
Just a wee prick,
and then your blood for my vampiric essence!
We have to help!
Zombies!
Keep those peasants back for a moment.
They keep coming.
We won't be able to help.
Behold, JoJo, my vampiric essence as it transforms you into my servant!
You haven't won yet, Dio! You've made a crucial mistake!
And how so?
To extract my life force,
you haven't completely frozen me!
I can't use my Hamon if my body is frozen,
but you can't drain my life energy, either!
Your tactics are flawed!
He's thawing the sword in the flame!
That blade is conducting the heat faster than I can freeze it!
He's sending Hamon through the blade!
Sunlight Yellow Overdrive!
Take this!
He got him!
Look again! You can tell that the Hamon didn't go through.
My arm...
My arm is frozen again!
It froze just by making contact with his face!
You underestimate me, JoJo!
I, Dio, respect the explosiveness of your spirit.
And, I must admit, that your use of fire was quiet clever.
But JoJo, nothing can escape my icy grasp.
A single touch to the arm is all it takes.
I can freeze your entire body in two seconds.
He expelled the vampiric essence!
Mr. Joestar hasn't given up yet!
Why so tense? Still looking for a fight?
You can resist all you want, but you're still just a human.
Your Hamon training is useless!
Useless!
A monkey cannot stand against a human!
You are nothing but a pathetic monkey, JoJo!
Wrong! With enough conviction, anything is possible!
Humans learn and evolve! Let me demonstrate!
You won't, because you'll soon be a zombie!
His hand, his hand is on fire!
He lit his glove on fire!
With that, he might be able to defeat Dio's freezing attack!
At long last, we learn who wins and who loses!
The end has come, Dio!
He was blocked?
No!
He's breaking through!
My body... it's melting away!
The pain! The burning!
I was supposed to live for centuries... forever!
You had to be destroyed, Dio.
I, Dio...
He fired a liquid death-beam from his eye!
A few centimeters to the right, and my brain would've been toast!
Blimey!
That, my friend, is what a dying and desperate demon looks like.
Dio's plunging down the cliff!
Dio...
He's fainted!
He's spent. And well he should be.
Tonight's battle claimed too many lives.
But why is he shedding tears for the bad guy?
Because they grew up together.
But me? I can smile happily!
Are you watching, Baron Zeppeli? He did it!
Mr. Joestar finally did it!
Dio is dead.
I don't care what anyone says. The world has been saved!
NEXT EPISODE
What a joyous occasion!
These are tears of joy.
Run...
I want to stay like this forever.
Is my new body here?
