ROME
What in the hell is this?
You expect me to eat spaghetti with ink in it?
Well signore, this is spaghetti al nero di seppia.
The fresh squid ink turns it black, signore.
Huh?
It's buonissimo, signore.
Well I'll be... It's amazing!
So good!
This hotel isn't what it used to be. Such riffraff dining today.
Signorina, this is for you.
Oh, it's lovely!
My beautiful, before you go to bed at night,
look at this necklace, and think of me.
Oh, no! Did that stuck-up snob really just say that?
He's giving me cavities with all that sweet-talking!
Allow me to put a charm on this little trinket.
May our love spring eternal.
I can't stand guys like him!
And may its magic caress your delicate lips.
Damn Casanova! I've had it with his charming and cajoling!
This is it!
Here we go.
A little Hamon prank.
And a little spaghetti round the face should stick for a while!
How did he...
It's Hamon!
He used Hamon!
Scusi,
you have a call from Signore Speedwagon, Signore Caesar Zeppeli.
Mamma mia! I'll be right there.
What the...
That womanizing Romeo is the Zeppeli we came here to see?
EPISODE 14: "ULTIMATE WARRIORS FROM ANCIENT TIMES"
The Speedwagon Foundation:
28 years ago,
Speedwagon poured his oil fortune into the founding of his own organization.
An organization that supports research
in science, medicine, archaeology and more...
all for the betterment of society.
But it has an even deeper purpose.
To uncover the secrets of the stone mask!
UV irradiation is about to begin. Please put on your masks.
Introduce the snake!
The snake was absorbed!
Santviento isn't dead! He's shielding himself with stone!
If left in the darkness, his body would rebuild itself!
Impossible! How can we kill him?
He feeds on masked vampires, and he's immortal!
Yes but, rest assured, Mr. Speedwagon,
as long as he's under these UV lights, he won't be able to move.
That's right.
What a relief.
We have ample time to devote to researching his destruction.
This photograph was taken in the cave where we found Santviento.
Look closely.
Each one has a different horn!
If the lowermost figure is Santviento, then who are the others?
According to Stroheim, the German army found another Pillar Man in Europe.
What?
The photograph depicts vertically arranged figures,
implying a kind of social hierarchy among the Pillar Men.
JoJo and I will honor Stroheim's final words
and meet with the man in Rome.
That man...
is the grandson of Will A. Zeppeli, Caesar Zeppeli!
So where are you from?
Shall I take a photo of you with the fountain?
The birds in this country sure are friendly.
Some of the locals, though...
Come, now! You've been introduced, so why can't you be civil?
Signore Speedwagon, allow me to be frank.
The tragedy that befell my grandfather fifty years ago...
it eventually consumed my father,
who spent his life hunting the mysteries of the stone masks.
No family bond is stronger than that of an Italian.
That pride gives us the strength to carry on our fate, and I'm no different!
But what about him?
Three months ago, he knew nothing of his grandfather!
Such irresponsibility!
I'd watch what I say, if--
Hold on, Caesar!
I kept everything a secret from JoJo!
Even so.
Having heard of his fight with Straizo and the Pillar Man,
I was expecting some impressive strength.
So I waited for him at the hotel.
But I'm afraid his Hamon skills left me utterly disappointed.
His Hamon is simply too weak!
It was dumb luck that he defeated the Pillar Man.
I have no intention of teaming up with someone like him!
Caesar, he hasn't been trained to use Hamon!
Uncle, it's too late.
This bastard is about to find out what a good thrashing feels like!
You can't beat me.
You couldn't even beat this girl with your Hamon.
Then you couldn't even beat a pigeon!
Are you mocking me?
I love messing with people,
but I'll be damned if I'll let anyone mess with me!
He gave this girl a Hamon kiss.
I'll say it again.
You couldn't even beat this girl.
I should stop them...
No,
as harsh as it may sound, if JoJo loses, then that's that.
What did I tell you?
My grandfather died because yours got in the way!
I can't accept someone of your bloodline!
Caesar, you've gone too far!
You...
It's one thing to insult me, but to insult my late grandfather?
I have a way of defeating the Pillar Men.
A killer technique!
My Hamon Bubble Launcher!
My clothing and gloves are coated in a special bubble-building soap solution!
I'll blast you back to the countryside, Joestar!
Your ability to remain conscious is admirable,
but your Hamon will never break my bubble barrier.
What a pity, your breathing appears a bit off.
I'll let you enjoy suffocating for a moment.
Now you'll say, Signorina, allow me to release you from my Hamon spell.
Now, Signorina, allow me to release you from my Hamon spell.
When she was choking me,
I charged that pigeon with Hamon and jammed it into her mouth.
I knew you'd kiss her to remove the Hamon, playboy!
I'll say it again.
You couldn't even beat a pigeon!
Oh dear...
Who does this jerk think he is?
Who does that before sitting down?
He really bugs the hell out of me!
I'm only letting this showoff parade around
because I don't have some special "Bubble Launcher."
I have to come up with something.
But I hate working hard. It's such a drag!
I'm great at cards... time to clean you out.
Hey, JoJo... Can't you deal cards properly?
What do you mean?
I said, can't you deal cards properly?
No cheating!
Whoa-oa!
Oh, no! I've been caught!
Guess you've got to resort to cheap tricks to beat me then.
So what's that mirror on your shoe for, then, eh?
Shut up! That's it, bumpkin!
Bring it, hick!
Caesar!
It's been eight hours. Exactly what are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for, you ask?
Here's your answer!
What's this? A German soldier!
It looks like we're clear.
The German army's guarding the Pillar Men.
And they're gonna take us to where they are.
What?
Italy and Germany are allies!
And the German army wants to research my Hamon abilities.
The reason why they're letting you Englishmen check out the Pillar Men
is all thanks to me, JoJo.
Herr Speedwagon, we wish for you to share any information you have.
Let us work together and find a way to stop them before they awake!
Hey, Mark.
How's your girl back home?
Well, she's...
The truth is...
I'm going home to get married next week!
Really?
Mamma mia! Congratulations!
I played his wingman in Germany when he was first trying to pick her up!
Hey, how about watching the road?
Get your head off the steering wheel!
By the way, JoJo...
you got a girl?
Of course not.
Like you could find a girl who'd put up with a personality like yours!
That'd be harder than finding Nessie!
Dammit! He's really pushing it...
I'll come up with a killer technique that'll make him eat his words!
Look! Something's strange!
What's going on?
Calm down! They're under UV lights! They can't move.
What's happening? Check it out, but be careful!
Yes, sir!
The massacre of Stroheim's team taught us a great lesson.
We must carve the Pillar Men out, and move them to a bunker in Germany.
What's happening? I can't see anything with the shadows.
Well, take a closer look.
I hear something.
-His horn! -He couldn't be...
He's awake!
-Turn up the UV lamps! -Yes, sir!
He's painting the UV lights
with blood and brains!
Such pathetic inventions...
So this is how the world has changed during my rest.
He spoke!
You think you can confine me, Wamuu, with your paltry man-made light?
Our hands!
-They're stuck together! -They're stuck together!
Wamuu!
Awaken, my masters!
The famous Bocca della Verità...
It's guarded the entrance to the Pillar Men all this time!
There is something very eerie about this place!
Caesar, have you tried Hamon on the sleeping Pillar Men?
Hamon is only useful on the living. It has no effect on stone.
It won't work unless they are awake.
Hey, where are the guards that are supposed to be here?
No one's here! It's too quiet!
Could you try shutting up?
This isn't right.
There should be a guard posted here.
What?
Whoa!
Hey, I just stepped in something!
Eww, gross!
What the hell?
They're...
human skins!
They're all dead!
No way!
Hey, stay away from there!
Something's out there!
What is that?
This can't be! They're...
Awake!
Get out of there, Mark!
Mark!
Caesar...
Mark!
They're completely unbothered by us!
He's destroyed that young man...
as if he accidentally stepped on an ant!
Nightfall has come, Wamuu.
Yes, Lord Kars. What shall we do now?
We must find the Red Stone of Aja, of course.
It won't be long!
Once we place the stone into the mask, it will be complete!
But Master Esidisi, the human world has changed much over the years.
It is said the Emperor of Rome was once in possession of the stone.
But that age appears to have long since come to an end.
Then we must locate the stone's whereabouts.
They say the Emperor cherished the stone.
I am sure humans still tell stories of it.
We shall find the stone.
We have time.
Let us go out and observe this new human world for ourselves.
Wamuu!
What are you doing?
Wait, Esidisi!
Forgive me, Lord Kars.
Wamuu, I had forgotten your dissatisfaction
with those who tread on your shadow,
and your propensity to attack on such occasions.
It has been 2,000 years.
I have offended you, my lord. Punish me as you see fit.
No, there is no reason for it.
I rely on your great fighting spirit.
I have committed the misdeed.
Forgive me, Wamuu.
Lord Kars...
We go, Wamuu.
Yes, lord.
Caesar!
-Kill me! Kill me now! -Mark!
The pain is creeping in.
I'm so scared.
I was numb at first, but the pain...
Please kill me now, Caesar!
Mark!
There's nothing we can do!
We can't do anything to help him.
We're powerless!
Completely and utterly hopeless!
Caesar...
You...
Thank you, Caesar.
Mark!
He was just a kid.
Just an ordinary guy.
He loved his family.
And his girl.
And his country.
He was a good, hardworking soul.
He was just a kid!
Caesar!
JoJo, stand back!
I will avenge him!
I must avenge him!
NEXT EPISODE
Oh, I'm tired of talking.
I told you to continue!
He's spineless!
The Hamon tribe.
This is my Divine Sandstorm!
