Previously on Jojo's Bizarre Adventure...
Tum-ta-da-da!
Here he is!
That sly bastard Avdol was still alive!
Doo-do-doo!
Mr. Joestar and Jotaro were the ones
who tended to the wounds on my head back in India.
I also had Avdol do some shopping for me.
From here on out, we're riding to Egypt in this!
You've got to be kidding! How'd you afford this?
EPISODE 23: THE HIGH PRIESTESS, PART 1
The Red Sea.
It's what divers across the globe have called
the most beautiful sea in the world.
Flanked on the east and west by desert,
it was once believed to be surrounded by crimson sands.
Today, it's general lack of pollution
and inflowing river water make its waters pristine.
Avdol, do you know how to steer this thing?
Tsk. It's no problem whatsoever.
And Avdol's not the only one!
Don't even think about it.
You're not putting us through another crash.
You sure seem to be in a foul mood!
So this is a submarine...
I have to say, I'm a bit surprised.
It's a lot more spacious than I expected.
Isn't it? Rich folks use them when they want to get away for a while
and explore the sea floor for pleasure.
As you see, it even has windows.
-Oh! Nice! -Whoa there!
You know, I've always sort of liked this kind of thing.
Though, I wish I could've ridden in one with a cute girl...
Once again, you haven't changed, Polnareff.
Can you try just this once to take things seriously?
What's that?
This is sonar.
It uses reflected sound waves
to detect underwater objects, like radar.
Wow...
All clear.
I'm not picking up anything in our vicinity.
With this machine, we can detect anyone trying to attack us,
from any direction.
But if someone did attack us in here,
we'd have nowhere to run.
Don't forget, we are 60 meters below sea level.
It is amazing...
But I guess it is a cruiser for the wealthy.
It has a refrigerator, coffee maker...
It's even equipped with the latest in satellite phones.
Hey, Kakyoin, get me a drink while you're up, will ya?
I'm dying of thirst here.
-I'll take one, too. -All right.
Is cola okay?
Old man.
Why are you just standing there?
Men, I need you to give me a moment of quiet.
I just remembered I need to make a phone call.
A phone call? To where?
Who would you need to call from all the way down here?
Someone important, I assure you.
You might even call it a delicate matter.
Again, I need you all to be quiet.
Oh, heaven's me... Which one should I pick?
The sparkly design is much more to my liking,
but is it appropriate for the charity event tomorrow?
Perhaps a refreshing white would be better...
Oh, what do you think, Rosas?
Both of the gowns look lovely on you, Madam.
Coming!
Hello?
Oh, Joseph, darling, it's you!
Where have you been? And where are you calling from?
It's a bit...
hard to hear you.
Right, sorry... I'm at a hotel.
I hate to say it, but...
I have to attend some unexpected business that's come up.
Oh, goodness. It must be difficult
traveling to another country right after going to Japan...
It's been nearly a month, hasn't it?
Yes. I'm sorry.
By the way, Suzie...
Have you spoken to Holly?
Yes, I just spoke to her on the phone yesterday.
She mentioned catching a cold
that's developed into a bout of pneumonia.
She tried convincing me it's not serious,
but I think I might visit her.
No, don't. There's no need for that.
I'm positive she'll recover quickly.
-You're such a worrywart... -This is what he meant by "delicate"?
Indeed. Madam Joestar
is still as effervescent as ever.
So he checks in now and again
to ensure she doesn't visit Miss Holly in Japan.
That way she's protected from the truth.
Are you saying that she...?
I am.
She hasn't been told anything.
We needn't worry her unnecessarily.
There's nothing to worry about.
Well, if you say so....
All right, I understand!
I'll hold off on going to Japan!
By the way, Joseph, I have something I need to ask you.
I'm having difficulty deciding between
the white dress and the purple one...
Is that so? Suzie, I need to speak to Rosas.
-What? -Madam.
Have you considered wearing your blue dress?
I think it's in the back of the closet.
That's right. I'll go and have a look.
Hello, Master Joseph. It's me.
Where's Suzie?
She's left the room, sir.
She won't overhear our conversation now.
I see...
Actually, I'm calling from the submarine
we spoke of a while back.
Then I take it you were successful in reuniting with Master Avdol?
Yes.
Now then, tell me about how Holly's doing.
Have you gotten hold of the doctors from the Speedwagon Foundation?
Well, actually...
On the phone, Miss Holly says she has nothing more than a cold.
She is quite insistent...
But her condition worsens by the day.
Master Joseph!
Don't you think the time has come to tell Madam Joestar the truth?
No.
There's no need to get her riled up.
We are going to put an end to all this very soon.
I want Holly to go back
to her normal life.
Don't inform my wife of what's going on under any circumstances.
I'll call again soon.
If that is what you wish.
I pray for your safe return.
Oh, Rosas, did you hang up already? I wasn't finished talking to him!
Oh, Madam...
It's no matter. Why don't we have some tea?
You will join me for a cup, won't you, Rosas?
-Oh? -Madam!
Don't trouble yourself. Allow me to serve the tea to you.
Really?
I'm sorry you have to do that, Mr. Joestar.
But you can rest easy, 'cause we're right here behind you.
We'll be in Egypt before you know it!
We must defeat Dio as soon as we can,
and save Miss Holly from his curse.
I have returned from the brink, for this very reason!
Thanks, you guys, really.
Driving this is actually pretty easy!
Guess that's how you were making it look so simple, Avdol.
For Pete's sake!
Hey, don't get so carried away!
The sea is riddled with potential hazards!
Yeah, yeah.
All right! Let's speed this tub up a b--
Polnareff!
I had nothing to do with that!
I'm so tired. Tell me we're almost there...
One, two, three, four, five...
Oh, exactly five cups in here.
Hey!
Hurry up and make the coffee, man! I want some now!
Make it yourself!
Good news! I've just spotted the coast of Africa!
We'll be there soon!
Near this coral reef,
lies a natural undersea channel.
The exit is two hundred meters inland.
We can surface there.
We've finally made it to Egypt.
It took long enough.
So this is Egypt...
Yes, we have arrived.
-What's so funny? -Nothing.
I'm just feeling sort of happy, that's all.
It's been a while since the five of us
were all gathered together like this.
Hey, Kakyoin.
Why'd you grab six cups for five people?
That's peculiar. I guess I didn't notice.
I could have sworn it was five...
-Wh-- -What?
-Old man! -Mr. Joestar!
Impossible!
It's a Stand!
I don't know how, but it managed to sneak on board!
-Now it's gone! -No, it didn't!
It transformed!
It disguised itself as one of the gauges!
Just like with the coffee cup!
Come again?
The coral reef!
And we were a few 100 meters from reaching Egypt!
Luckily, it looks like Mr. Joestar was only knocked unconscious.
The problem is his hand.
The phone?
Who'd be calling us now?
Ignore it, Polnareff!
We have to stay focused!
It's the High Priestess.
Our enemy is using a deadly Stand called The High Priestess.
So you know it well?
Somewhat.
The name of this particular Stand user is Rose.
She has the ability to control her Stand from far away,
so she's most likely on land.
What's its power?
It can turn into almost any inanimate object,
as long as it comes from a mineral.
Plastics, metal, glass, or vinyl.
There's no way to recognize it, until it decides to attack.
But how'd it sneak aboard in the first place?
I get it now, so that's how it did it.
How simple... It cut a hole and moseyed on in?
The ballast tanks are damaged!
We're sinking even faster!
Not to mention we're losing oxygen!
We can't go on like this!
Shut up! Whoever's calling has horrible timing!
Jotaro?
Hey! Anything we touch could be the--
Hi again, Joseph, it's me!
We weren't finished with our conversation,
so I made Rosas give me the number.
Why aren't you speaking?
Come to think of it, what's with all the ruckus over there?
Is that a... siren I'm hearing?
And that running water... Is your bathtub overflowing?
Sorry, but the old man can't come to the phone.
I know that voice... Is that you...
Jotaro? Where's Joseph?
You should be in Japan.
Why are you with your grandfather?
Jotaro, answer me!
There's nothin' to worry about, Grandma Suzie.
He'll be fine. I'm right here with him.
Later.
We'll call back once things calm down.
Jotaro!
Brace yourselves! We're about to hit the bottom!
Oh my God!
I knew this would happen!
Every vehicle we use gets destroyed!
I'm never riding in a submarine again.
HIGH PRIESTESS ROSE
How strange...
I was getting through a moment ago.
It's as though the line's suddenly gone dead.
But...
And why was Jotaro...
Hey, the oxygen's getting thin in here.
Kakyoin.
Did you catch which one of the gauges
the Stand merged with?
It looked like it turned into this one.
That's not it! Jotaro!
It's already moved!
It's right behind Kakyoin!
Hierophant Green!
Kakyoin!
Everyone, head for the door!
It's traveling across the machines' surface!
You say that, but...
If we stay in this room,
there's a very good chance we won't survive!
Kakyoin, are you all right?
Yes...
Everyone, get to the next room!
We'll seal the room off, and trap it inside!
There's no way!
It already moved to the door and transformed into the wheel...
I have to let go before it's too late!
Its claws were able to slice through
Mr. Joestar's prosthetic hand...
What?
Yes! We got it!
That was close...
Apparently, our little friend here isn't as fast as Star Platinum.
So, what should we do with it?
Jotaro, what are you waiting for!
Show no mercy!
Hurry up and rip its little head off!
Aye-aye, sir.
That bastard...
It turned into a freakin' razor!
Damn...
It's strong!
I can't believe it outsmarted Jotaro!
What an enemy...
What the hell is going on?
Whatever's happening here, I'm pretty sure we're in a pinch.
Shut up, old man!
The beast will attack us if we touch it.
Meaning we must use our Stands instead!
Magician's Red!
Silver Chariot!
It's a tough one!
Chariot's rapier can't pierce its armor!
Pick up the pace!
We have to attack before it gets away!
Everyone, stand back!
There's still some oxygen over here.
It's going to run out soon!
-Are you all right? -Yeah.
Forget it, Jotaro! It'll only transform again.
We're taking on water fast, so we need to trap that thing!
We'll figure out how to fight it then!
Know that it'll be Jotaro Kujo
who'll hammer you into a bloody pulp.
What did you say?
Jotaro, why in the hell would you answer a call from Suzie?
Damn it... You really shouldn't have done that!
Whatever....
We'll talk about it when we get out of this mess.
Leave everything to me!
Do you have a plan?
You bet... And it's a brilliant one.
Joseph Joestar has gotten through situations like this
more than once in his life!
I can't begin to understand why Jotaro is with Joseph?
Has Joseph said anything?
No, Ma'am...
Though... My heart jumped with joy to hear that boy's voice.
I heard he's been quite the handful,
but deep down he's a sweet child who cares very much for his family.
I'm sure he's helping Joseph as much as he can.
Yes, Madam.
Master Jotaro and Master Joseph are most likely
in the midst of battling a common enemy as we speak.
They're fighting to save Miss Holly,
someone very dear to them,
from a curse of unbridled evil.
What do we do now?
I have a feeling that devil of a Stand
isn't really the one trapped here.
Sooner or later, that monster'll cut its way out of that room
and catch up to us!
Being sealed off with all this machinery
makes us sitting ducks in here!
The submarine is done for!
We need to abandon ship and escape!
We'll have to find some other way to Egypt!
We're 40 meters below sea level!
It doesn't sound that bad,
but how are we supposed to get out of here?
We're really gonna scuba dive?
I've never done anything like this...
Hurry everyone! Suit up on the double!
Good grief.
I just realized I won't be able to suit up in time
with this busted hand.
Help me out, Jotaro.
Do it yourself.
First of all, make sure not to panic.
The ocean floor is so beautiful...
If it's OK, you'll do this...
If we're in trouble, do this.
I think I'd like to see your face sometime.
