The spines in the stone mask are capable of piercing a human brain.
But they lack the power to pierce our immortal brains.
We need more power.
Oh, what's this?
This is a Red Stone of Aja, a rare and beautiful gem.
They refract light billions of times over, making them incredibly strong and pure.
Their power is miraculous.
But still not enough!
These tiny stones don't give the spines enough strength.
To complete the stone mask, we need a flawless Red Stone.
We need a Super Aja.
Once we have it...
...we will conquer the sun, and become the final, perfect progression in evolution.
The stone masks were invented by the most intelligent among them, Kars.
Kars crossed the Atlantic in search of the Super Aja with Wamuu and Esidisi.
Suzi Q.
Yes, Madam Lisa Lisa, here it is.
Thank you.
In my hand is a perfectly flawless, natural crystal.
A Super Aja!
You had the Red Stone of Aja this entire time?!
The Pillar Men defeated the warriors of Hamon to try and get it...
...but the Super Aja evaded them. It is now my duty to protect it.
Caesar, I know how you must feel...
The stone masks killed our grandparents, along with countless others.
And we've met its inventor, Kars.
Smash it!
Let's smash the Red Stone to pieces!
If you break it, they'll cry like babies!
I can't do that.
Why not?!
Legend has it that they cannot be killed without the stone.
Why the hell not?
I have no idea.
Regardless, I will perform my duty as guardian.
JoJo, Caesar...
You must take your final exam.
A-A final exam?!
Caesar, you must defeat Messina.
JoJo, you must defeat Loggins!
Episode 17: "The Deeper Plan!"
You ready, Caesar?
I'm more than ready!
It's almost dawn....
It's always darkest before dawn....
Now where on earth is Loggins hiding?
I gotta stay sharp.
He and I have a score to settle!
Is that instructor Loggins?
H-How awful!
I-It's unnatural!
Instructor Loggins!
H-He's dead!
E-Esidisi!
So you came to Venice, to this island.
To think that the woman guarding the Stone is just an island over.
His lungs were wrenched out...
Lungs are paramount for Hamon-users.
It must have been one swift kick.
The tyrannical Loggins... you yelled at me for three weeks.
To be honest, I hated you.
I thought I would finally get back at you for what you put me through.
But just watch me from up there, my instructor.
See the fruit of your torture!
Hey, Esidisi. It's kinda early, but I'll be taking what's mine now.
The antidote in your nose piercing is mine!
Stay out of my way. I don't have time to deal with you.
Time? You've got a lot more time than I do!
Oh? That was sharp. I think you've grown smarter.
But when somebody looks at me like that...
...they're asking to die.
I'll tell you once more: Stay out of my way!
Touch me and half your body will be gone!
Make me!
What's this?
Well? Get me out of your way!
I only move if there's dog shit in my way!
His Hamon is breaking through my skin!
He's highly increased his control in just three weeks.
However!
I must say, your new skill surprises me.
But you're still far from ready to go up against me!
I met and devoured countless Hamon users like you just two-thousand years ago!
If I snap your finger off, you'll never use it again!
Like this!
You finally noticed?
Your arm is wrapped up in a fine silk thread.
It's soaked in vegetable oil, which makes it an excellent conductor of Hamon!
I was aiming for your neck, but there was no chance!
H-How did you do that?!
That's...
This is morbid, even for me...
...but first blood goes to me and my instructor, Esidisi!
2,500 years ago, a Chinese man wrote The Art of War.
This is what he said:
"Victory is decided before the battle is fought."
That means laying strategies while your opponent is unaware!
I'll admit I liked to play hooky from school...
...But Granny Erina made sure I studied history!
You may have lived a long time, but you don't have a head for strategy!
W-Why you - !
Oh? Getting a bit mad?
Are you upset that I disintegrated your arm?
Well get upset! I'm far more furious!
Because of that ring you put in me, I haven't slept right in weeks!
You're such a meanie!
You're so mean to me!
W-What's he doing?!
H-He's bawling!
I thought he'd flip his lid for sure! This Esidisi is full of surprises!
Th-This is embarrassing. He's throwing a tantrum!
My poor arm!
Some things are even scarier than anger...
I'll finish this quickly!
Ah, that's much better.
Sometimes my emotions get the best of me.
When I'm about to lose it, I calm down by crying for a bit.
You mentioned Sun Tzu, right?
I know of him as well.
Long ago, I journeyed to China.
All war is deception. To fight is to delude.
Anger your enemies to lure them into mistakes.
That's your plan, right? I won't fall for that.
But JoJo, I really am shocked at your improvements.
I admire your Hamon.
I've been waiting for a worthy opponent.
W-What are you doing to his arm?!
It's a bit thin, but it will grow stronger in time.
H-He's too much!
He was bawling just a minute ago!
Oh, JoJo, I believe I've frightened you!
Admit it, you're scared of me!
H-He's unreadable!
I've always read my opponents and used their feelings against them...
...but Esidisi's personality is beyond me.
Am I the one being read here?!
W-What's happening to Loggins' body?!
I-It's hot!
H-His body is boiling!
How the hell - ?!
An animal's temperature rises when it moves or is fighting disease.
I can bring my blood up to 500 degrees and expel it.
I sent my boiling blood coursing through him when I took off his arm.
Wamuu can control the wind with his Divine Sandstorm and Wind Mode...
...but I am The Blazing Esidisi.
My mode is that of heat!
Your power to completely destroy a body is incredible!
But I can tell you're just using it as a tactic to scare me!
Try a Clacker Volley!
My Hamon isn't like it was a month ago!
I really did frighten you.
Your emotions caused you to attack recklessly and too soon, JoJo.
My veins will inject boiling blood into your head and turn it into stew!
This is why it is called the Erratic Blaze King Mode!
JoJo...
Take this, Caesar!
Bubble Launcher!
Stop! That's enough!
If we continue, one or both of us will die.
No, I hate to admit it, but I would lose.
I have trained here ten years longer than you...
...but your Hamon burned off all the hair on my right arm.
What can I do after being shamed like this?
You passed your final exam with flying colors, Caesar!
You're more interested in your good-for-nothing friend's exam, Caesar?
I am only this strong because I didn't want JoJo to outdo me.
Both JoJo and I have to survive our upcoming battles.
I'll say this, JoJo seems lazy and impudent...
...but he's good deep down.
You're bad at making friends, but when you do, I guess it's for life.
Th-That's - !
Esidisi!
That was a clever dodge.
Th-The mask protected me, but...
H-Hot hot hot hot!
Damn this blood!
Goddammit! These sexy lips finally come out from under the mask...
...and you just burned them, asshole!
JoJo, on the surface you make witty banter...
...but in your head, you're hatching a plan, aren't you?
You've turned pale, JoJo!
Did I hit the mark? Did I hit the nail on the head?!
My next plan is...
I-I'll use the string!
I'll act like I'm dodging...
...but I'll run a string along these spikes while I move.
I can't let him catch on...
Once he steps inside the string, I'll wrap him up, then use Hamon!
Th-That laugh means trouble!
C-Could he be reading my plan?!
No, that's impossible!
Erratic Blaze King! Wheel of Pain Mode!
How long do you think you can keep avoiding my attacks?
So you noticed at last.
Why is my hat shrinking?
You're caught in my web!
My hat is 100% wool. It conducts Hamon just great.
W-Why are you smiling?
What are you hiding?
Your next line is, "I'll wipe that smirk off your face!"
I'll wipe that smirk off your face!
B-But that's my trick!
A web? Look around you!
I am the one spinning a web!
I knew about your little plan all along!
JoJo, what was it you were saying before?
"Victory is decided before the battle is fought," was it?
True, true.
True, true, true!
How very true your words were!
But my plans went far deeper than yours and decided my victory!
My veins have given you some new holes.
Now I'll fill them all with my burning blood!
You'll look like a lovely birthday cake covered in candles!
He's on the edge of defeat!
H-He won't make it!
Caesar!
Judging from what I can see, I assume Loggins is dead.
If JoJo falls, Esidisi will come after us next.
JoJo's too far away for us to help now...
It hurts, but we have to think about Lisa Lisa and the Stone.
Now, let's prepare to move.
JoJo...
Let me hear your screams as you twitch and writhe in despair, JoJo!
You laugh as I have you on the verge of death?
Has the fear driven you mad?
Well...
My arms are folded and my eyes are closed.
This is a victory laugh, Esidisi.
You lost today because you snoozed for two-thousand years.
I lost?! You're telling me I lost?!
Oh? You don't get it?
You can't read me?
You don't understand that you already lost?
You said your plans went deep, but mine went even deeper!
Humans have been making progress for the last two-thousand years.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, sleight-of-hand became a form of entertainment.
And I happen to be a big fan.
Illusion is my thing!
B-But I cut those strings!
I-Impossible! The strings are...
My rope magic worked!
I laid my trap so that even if the string were cut, it would be safe.
A simple trick.
Now you'll say, "My veins will move faster than your pathetic Hamon!"
My veins will move faster than your pathetic Hamon!
Feel the beat of my Hamon Overdrive!
I can't... I can't...
You're a human...
I... I... I am the highest lifeform!
I won't be defeated!
That's it!
You've pushed me too far!
Esidisi's body is leaking some kind of energy!
Is it the energy from a millennium of life?
Die already!
Die with the power you stole from thousands of innocents!
My instructor, I have to thank you for torturing me.
Grazie, Loggins!
Santana turned to stone and only feigned death.
But even Esidisi's bones were destroyed. What makes him different?
Maybe it's just because my Hamon became stronger.
He's dead now, and I have one of the antidotes I need.
I guess it reminds me of snot because it's dripping from a nose piercing.
Anyway, I have to drink it...
All right! I think it worked.
The ring around my windpipe is gone.
So, now I'll go see Caesar and Lisa Lisa.
I think I used my head too much against Esidisi. My shoulders are sore!
Next Episode
How about the white one?
Wait until we cross!
But I really do like this design!
I'll eradicate them.
Which to choose?
Damn it! I can't hit her!
Episode 18:
"Stroheim's Unit Strikes Back"
Even if these points are severed,
the white portions can pull
the whole string together.
Time Until The Remaining Ring Dissolves:
6 Days
Shijima no soko kara
Mezameru sono hashira tachi
Toki wo koe
Shinku no chishio ga
Tachiagaru yuki wo hikiawaseru
Uketsugu ai wo sadame to yobu nara
Hohoemu me de tsugi no te wo
Yami wo azamuite setsuna wo kawashite
Yaiba surinuke yatsura no suki wo tsuke
Tsuranuita omoi ga mirai wo hiraku
Like a bloody storm
Atsuku like a bloody stone
Ketsumyaku ni kizamareta innen ni
Ukiagaru kienai hokori no kizuna
Nigirishimete
From out of the stillness
The Pillars of the past are awakening
To the dawn of a new day
The river of crimson blood within you
Carries with it the courage to stand and fight
Even if the love I feel is just part of my legacy...
I'll still be smiling as I stay one step ahead
Defying the darkness and dodging death at every turn
Slipping past the knife's edge and striking when you least expect
The emotions running through me blaze a path to the future...
Like a bloody storm
Burning like a bloody stone
When the time comes to end the vendetta carried by our blood
Remember that the bonds of pride will carry you through any storm
So hold them close
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll spend the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound and
In and out the valley
The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I'll spend the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound and
In and out the valley
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky
and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty-four before my love you'll see I'll be
There with you
