Using Caesar's bandana, JoJo barely defeated Wamuu.
Next, Lisa Lisa faced off against Kars.
Stroheim and Speedwagon appeared suddenly with help.
However, in a cowardly turn, Kars used a double to fight.
He sprang out and stabbed Lisa Lisa in the back.
JoJo and Lisa Lisa are in the greatest peril of their lives!
Kars, you bastard! I hope you rot in hell forever!
JoJo doesn't know.
He doesn't know that woman is his own mother!
Don't let go, JoJo.
It's a forest of crystal spikes below. She'd die instantly.
K-Kars!
Your soul is as rotten as a pumpkin left in a field that even flies won't visit!
Shout at me. Grumble at me. Insult me.
While you're holding that rope, that's all you can really do.
Episode 24: "The Ties that Bind JoJo"
JoJo! Lisa Lisa!
JoJo doesn't realize his mother's life is in his hands!
Mr. Speedwagon, we should tell him!
No.
Why not?!
It's not the time.
Stroheim, are you done with the vampires?!
We have to help JoJo!
Give me a break!
You think we can get rid of them in just a minute or two?!
Get out of my sight!
It's no good. They need more time!
JoJo...
Careful, the rope will slip if you don't watch it.
While you're holding the rope, your hasty feet can only move so far.
He kicked Kars, but Hamon didn't flow into him!
W-We're in a real fix!
Looks like your Hamon is running dry.
You might have just enough for one last, all-out attack.
I'll just stroll up to you and take your life like I'm plucking a flower.
Kars!
It's true I might have barely enough in me for one final attack.
I'm not exactly confident.
But even so, I've come up with a plan.
It's something to make you choke!
Do you want to know what it is?
I won't tell you!
Hey!
You're not tying any ropes together!
This is a match!
What do you think I'll do with it?
W-What is JoJo up to?
He set his scarf on fire!
Before this fire burns me, I'll use all I've got left to send you packing!
The fire is a gamble!
It's a risk to motivate me!
I seek life within death!
JoJo...
An act like that...
...reeks of desperation!
Don't toy with me.
You're just dodging around in order to catch your breath.
I'll say it again: I want to kill you at my leisure.
I won't swing around like Tarzan!
Come on, now! I need to breathe!
Who cares if I look silly?
Listen.
I can cut Lisa Lisa's rope whenever I please.
And if you dodge again, I will!
Is that all right?
Should I cut the rope?
You want me to do it?
You don't, do you?
Don't!
You ran before. Now come to me, slowly.
If you want me to cut the rope, stay where you are.
The coward!
What's your choice?
Is your life more precious than this woman's?
Here's my choice!
I don't know what you're planning, but if I cut this, you'll fall as well!
You fool!
JoJo!
Lisa Lisa!
Idiot. That's two birds with one cut.
What the...?!
He...!
This rope is connected to JoJo!
When did he do it?!
He didn't have the time!
When he first kicked, he let himself be cut along with the rope!
While he lit the match, he secretly tied his leg to her rope and made a loop.
He needed a distraction.
So he set his scarf on fire.
And then to tie the ropes together, he let Lisa Lisa be cut down on purpose!
That cunning devil!
Now you're holding me and Lisa Lisa up!
You deceived me, JoJo!
I never thought I'd hear that from you!
It seems you like tricking, but you hate to be tricked!
You may have lived for over 10,000 years.
But to compete with my skills, you need another decade!
Kars!
Your time is up!
Hamon Overdrive!
D-Did it work?
Th-That was the last of my Hamon.
I'm burned out.
I don't have any Hamon left.
I-It got into him!
Yes!
He did it! He hit Kars with Hamon!
Off you go!
You...
Look! Kars fell into the crystal spikes!
He's finished! See?
The Hamon will travel right up his arm!
You're weak! Your time is up!
Even we could finish you now!
He's trying to spook us.
All right! Let's eliminate him for good!
Bring out the UV amplifier!
Yes, sir!
Master Lisa Lisa...
Kars said he didn't quite kill you.
I don't think he hit anything vital.
If we act quickly, I'm sure you'll live through this.
It's finally over.
It is. I'm glad.
Hey, Mr. Speedwagon?
Can I ask you something?
What is it?
Why did Granny Erina tell JoJo his mother died when he was little?
Why does Lisa Lisa hide her past from him?
Smokey, that's...
Granny Erina told me not to ask you, but I have to know!
She's his mother. Keeping that from him is awful.
Smokey...
JoJo and Granny Erina are my friends.
They saved me from crooked cops, even though I was just a thief.
That's why I'm here! I'll do all I can to help.
All right, Smokey.
I'll tell you.
You did take good care of Erina while I was away from New York, after all.
But promise not to tell JoJo!
This is a Joestar family issue. It's not our place to talk about it.
The name "Lisa Lisa" is an alias.
Her real name is Elizabeth .
She was raised by a Hamon-user named Straizo.
She and Erina's son, George, fell in love and got married.
George and Elizabeth had a son. You know him as JoJo.
JoJo's father George was a member of the Royal Flying Corps.
A viation developed rapidly during the First World War.
George was among the first brave pilots to fly into battle.
He stood out as a hero even among the Royal Flying Corps.
However...
...a gut-wrenching horror from the past came back to haunt the Joestars.
Fifty years before, a vampire named Dio had created a legion of blood-sucking zombies.
Straizo, myself and the others thought we had exterminated them.
But one had escaped, hid within society, and lived for decades undiscovered!
This zombie was a cunning, intelligent creature.
He created no spawn.
He ate even the bones and hair of his victims, leaving no evidence.
And by some wicked twist of fate...
...he worked as a commander in the Royal Flying Corps!
Th-The Royal Flying Corps? With JoJo's father?
That's right.
George uncovered his secret.
He had listened well to Straizo and I.
But ultimately, George was just an ordinary man.
He had character and talent, but he hadn't trained with Hamon.
Before he could unmask the commander, he was discovered and attacked!
His message to Straizo wasn't in time.
George's death was covered up as a nighttime plane crash.
Straizo and I found this suspicious, and eventually found the truth.
That night, I told Elizabeth as she held an infant JoJo.
Instead of showing grief...
...she flew out of the house!
She was a genius with Hamon, but her emotions consumed her!
She was witnessed when she killed the commander.
The military didn't know about zombies or Hamon.
They concluded that Elizabeth had attacked their beloved commander, killed him, and burned his body.
Soon she was known around the world as a murderer and national traitor.
We used all the Speedwagon Foundation's resources to cover her trail.
Elizabeth had to leave England behind...
...without even a word to her son.
Erina knew what had happened, and she had a request.
When this child grows up and asks about his parents...
...please tell him they both died.
This child...
And so Elizabeth became Lisa Lisa.
Why?
Why is it that way?
At least tell him his mother is alive!
I know painfully well why.
Erina lost her husband and son in the battle between Hamon and the masks.
But thinking of her grandson Joseph... of JoJo...
...she didn't want Hamon in his life!
Lisa Lisa felt the same way!
Such a tragic family.
Such a miserable fortune.
But now...
Now JoJo...
JoJo used Hamon to save his mother's life!
Mr. Speedwagon...
Now there's no reason for Lisa Lisa to hide.
JoJo knows about Hamon, and he used it to save his mother!
True.
But it's not up to me.
We have to know how Erina and Lisa Lisa feel first.
But...
Colonel!
We're ready to fire!
Right! Aim it right at him!
We will have the honor of executing Kars!
Behold, Kars!
I can't tell you how good it feels to give this order myself!
Don't, Stroheim! The mask!
The Stone is in his mask! UV light will help him!
D-Damn it!
Stop! Don't fire the UV amplifier!
N-No!
I-I didn't see him holding the mask.
I didn't see him put the Red Stone in!
Dear God...
Kars...

The ultimate lifeform...
He can manipulate life at will!
Is there no way to stop him?
Kars, the Ultimate Lifeform, is born!
Episode 25:
"The Birth of a Superbeing!!"
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
We spend the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound and
In and out the valley... hey!
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
