EPISODE 23 - "THE WARRIOR OF WIND"
That wind...
It's flowing toward Wamuu.
Final attack: Atmospheric Rift!
That's wind?
You are near the flame, JoJo...
I may know only your approximate location,
but now that you've ceased your Hamon breathing,
I will track you down, little by little,
and dismember every centimeter of you.
The Atmospheric Rift... Wamuu's final attack!
Instead of using the pipes to cloak himself with vapor,
he's drawing in massive amounts of air,
and compressing it within his lungs!
He then expels the air at extremely high pressure
through a razor-thin opening.
It is an air scalpel.
But the friction and heat created is too great for even Wamuu.
His body can withstand the stress for only so long.
It will soon tear him apart!
How tragic and so very exquisite!
Victory is yours! Take his life to salve your wounds!
JoJo!
It's close!
I've got to come up with a plan!
This one's called the Hamon oil trick!
His body is like a highly pressurized oxygen tank!
Those pipes on his chest...
If I can hit them with this firebomb...
he'll inhale the flames and blow himself to smithereens!
This is my last chance!
If I mess this up...
Found you!
Shit!
Take this, Wamuu!
A firebomb?
Pathetic.
I cannot see that which is close to the fire.
But an object one meter away, that is different!
You're out of tricks.
And that pathetic cry gave away your location.
Now...
Atmospheric Rift!
Caesar!
I need your help!
More fire?
Keep trying. Remember, I can sense any object within one meter.
And now I will cut you to pieces and end this battle!
JoJo!
He's finally won.
Wamuu...
You lost the moment I threw Caesar's bandana.
Don't you see I meant for you to break that bottle?
Your ability to slice that bottle in half
is what led to your demise.
The oil is now a gas inside your body.
And that bandana of Caesar's you sliced up?
The fire...
it's still burning.
And I'm pulling it in!
Wamuu...
You are an extraordinary warrior.
But Caesar was with me all the way.
He lost.
He lost!
Lord Wamuu!
JoJo, he is able to regenerate himself,
even after being blown to bits!
You must finish him with a direct Hamon fist attack!
So it has finally come to an end, Jo... Jo...
It has.
You took your revenge for Caesar.
I did.
Then do it.
Finish me.
So be it!
What is this?
That smoke isn't from the explosion.
It's from the wound I inflicted on you with my Hamon.
It seems the Hamon from your chest and leg wounds
is spreading throughout your body.
I know how painful that is for your kind.
I cannot mend you.
But I can at least
ease your pain with my blood as you leave this world.
Bastard! Do you wish to disgrace me as I perish?
Stop! I need not pity from my enemy!
Pity?
Did you say pity?
So why didn't you destroy the bubble
that carried Caesar's bandana and the ring with the antidote?
Was it pity?
It was because that man was a proud warrior.
I wished to honor him.
"Could it be, JoJo...," you exclaim.
Could it be, JoJo...
That's right, Wamuu.
A fight is a fight.
My grief for Caesar is my grief.
I wanted to pay deference to you, too.
This blood represents my respect for you.
I have lost, JoJo.
You are more of an honorable warrior than I ever was.
Kill the bastard!
Stop!
What are you doing?
What?
Barbarians!
Wamuu!
Why?
I am sworn to Lord Kars,
but I will not allow the vampires to attack you.
I uttered these same words to Caesar:
That was not an act of sentimentality.
To me, a strong warrior is the only truth.
Victory alone is just and admirable.
I lived according to my own code of honor.
Immortality means nothing to me.
All that matters is a life of honor.
Now...
Drink the antidote before me.
Before I fade away forever.
How will you know?
I need not to touch, see, or hear it.
I will know.
The action itself is enough.
I have no regrets.
I say to you now, from the bottom of my heart,
I am grateful to have witnessed your journey.
Perhaps I had to drift through twelve thousand years of life
to finally meet you.
Fare... well...
Jo... Jo...
Wamuu became the wind.
Unconsciously, JoJo rose to salute.
Though he shed no tears,
he offered Wamuu a eulogy without words.
Their friendship was complex.
Wamuu, kill him.
But Lord Kars...
My respects, he is but a child.
A child? That he is.
That is why we must kill him now.
The Hamon warriors may become powerful foes as adults.
Humans develop extremely quickly.
Are you unable to carry out the task, Wamuu?
If you cannot, allow me to set the example.
Watch and learn, Wamuu!
Wamuu...
You were too pure of a warrior.
That was your weakness!
Hey, Wamuu just lost!
What a disappointment!
Too busy showing off.
Such a revolting lot. Makes me want to vomit.
Lord Kars...
He's gulping down our...
It appears only I, Kars, am left.
However...
Only one can stand on top!
Look at Lord Kars!
Ohhh, Lord Kars!
His fighting stance!
But Lord Kars, there's no reason to fight one-on-one!
Who needs rules? Let us take them!
Best to mangle them into bloodied tatters!
They're coming for us, after all!
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear.
The Red Stone!
The agreement is me against Kars, one-on-one.
But if you don't like those terms,
I'll just smash it!
I'm a man of my word.
One-on-one.
I had no intention of breaking our agreement.
That's why I removed this cloth and revealed my horn.
As for my underlings' behavior,
they're already dead, as you can see.
Lord Kars?
All I want is the Red Stone.
However, Wamuu and Esidisi were my comrades for 10,000 years.
In their memory, I must carry on their legacy of honorable battle.
I now wish to fight you Hamon warriors...
fair and square.
And Lisa Lisa, after seeing how you fight,
I shall not think of you as a woman.
I will defeat you and hold nothing back.
Come!
We fight over there.
The temple ruins of Piz Berlina!
Champions of the chariot duels would come here to drink
a potion made of wine and the blood of the defeated
as a tribute to the life-giving grace of the gods!
An arena it is not,
but it shall serve a glorious stage to our battle!
Master Lisa Lisa, you may be strong,
but you're still a woman.
He seems weaker than Wamuu. I'll take him!
No need.
If you think I'm the kind of person
who needs the assistance of some teen, you're mistaken.
Said like a true 50 year old!
I will use my Brilliant Bone Blade.
I would tarnish Wamuu's honor if I did not offer you a weapon.
Take your pick.
My scarf will suffice.
I see.
Then let us fight.
Kars's stance... I sense no thirst for blood.
How can he fight without it?
What's wrong? Just standing there?
Then I'll make a move!
Kars disappeared in a flash of light!
Where'd he go?
Kars... I feel his presence...
It feels as if he could attack me from either above or below!
Brilliant Bone Blade!
He's attacking from a crack in the pillar?
Snake Muffler!
This scarf is made of Satiporoja beetle,
and it conducts Hamon perfectly!
I can use it as a Hamon weapon and as life-detecting radar!
And of course it detects attacks from behind!
She did it!
Nice one, Master! Amazing!
He's nothing compared to Wamuu, after all!
Guess his bark was worse than his bite!
Though you are better than me, Master!
Wha...
Lord Kars!
Kars, he's behind her!
Then who's that on the ground?
What the...
What the hell is going on?
That wasn't Kars she was fighting!
It was a double!
How utterly stupid.
Why would I duel one-on-one?
All I'm after is the Red Stone...
so I can become the ultimate being!
I have no desire to be an honorable warrior like Wamuu.
I am no romantic.
I will use anything at my disposal, so that in the end...
I emerge victorious!
That's why I felt no thirst for blood from him.
He never intended to fight me.
Now to finish you!
Jo... Jo...
The Red Stone is mine!
Now all I have to do is finish off that annoying JoJo
to put an end to you all!
Kars!
You're going down!
Kars!
Out of my way! I'll split your damned skulls!
Zoom Punch!
Your Hamon isn't working.
He's weakened! Now...
Rebuff Overdrive!
It appears the battle has left you weary.
Your breathing is off, and your Hamon has weakened.
And you're the last of the Hamon-users
trained under Lisa Lisa!
Will you last?
Will you last, JoJo?
Will you last?
Son of a...
Slice 'im up, men!
Crap!
That light!
That face!
Listen up, vampires!
You'll be facing off against Stroheim and the German elite!
And the Speedwagon Foundation Scientific Special Forces!
-JoJo! -JoJo!
Uncle Speedwagon!
And Smokey from New York!
My right leg is a bit stiff...
but my body has been repaired!
Have a taste of our anti-vampire weaponry!
Ultraviolet ray blasters!
It was actually the Speedwagon Foundation that miniaturized them.
He really loves the limelight!
Clever humans.
Where is JoJo?
He's gone!
Crafty as ever.
Take your eyes off him for a second,
and he's already hatching some kind of scheme.
You crossed a line you shouldn't have crossed.
You said you'd fight fairly,
but you broke your promise to Lisa Lisa!
And you betrayed the memory of your fallen comrade, Wamuu!
Save your indignation, scum...
The end justifies the means.
All that matters is that the Red Stone is in my hands.
You must expend the least amount of effort,
while minimizing danger and avoiding risk,
moving your pawns ever so carefully!
That is a true battle!
And now,
gradually you'll make your way into my grasp and to your death...
Let me tell you, Kars!
I've never hated someone more than I hate you!
You hate me?
Then show me.
One-on-one. We'll fight one-on-one just as you desired.
Lisa Lisa is almost dead.
But she's not there yet.
That was my plan! To leave her hanging on.
Now why do you think I would do such a thing?
She's one of my pawns!
A pawn that will ensnare you!
Bastard!
I've bound her feet together with this rope, JoJo!
Why am I doing this?
Here's why!
Lisa Lisa!
Off you go!
She wouldn't be much of a pawn if she died, now would she?
If you don't grab that rope,
she'll go splat when she hits the ground, JoJo!
JoJo! Lisa Lisa!
Lisa Lisa?
That Lisa Lisa?
The infant Granny Erina saved from the accident on the ship?
That means that woman is JoJo's...
You can no longer move from that spot.
This is what a true battle is, JoJo!
And now, I, Kars, shall enjoy my saunter toward you
before I slice you up as you stand there, frozen!
Kars, you bastard!
I'll make sure you rot in hell!
JoJo doesn't know.
He doesn't know that woman is his own mother!
NEXT EPISODE
Are the vampires finished?
I want to kill you at my leisure.
The fire is a gamble!
This child...
Don't, Stroheim!
No!
