Mr. Joestar has won the battle!
But in the process... he lost everything he had!
He's been in the hospital for three days...
But now he's all alone in the world!
There's not much I can do... but at least I can show him that there's still so much to live for!
Sora! Koboreochita futatsu no hoshi ga

JoJo!
Two stars fall from the sky
One shining in the light, the other sinking into darkness
A ripple drawing the two of them together
One will walk the path of pride and receive the sun's guidance
One will walk the path of unbridled ambition...
Demanding sacrifice!
Let that burning in your soul calm the trembling of your heart
Strike down your fears,
With courage coursing through your veins!
You cannot overcome your pain unless you can accept...
The legacy of your bloodline!
Episode 4: "Overdrive"
Heart!
What he needs right now... is heart!
It's the middle of the night...
Why is there light coming from Mr. Joestar's room?
W-Who is that?!
Th-That woman...
If she's a nurse, why would she be here at such a late hour?!
Her hands... they're chapped, and stained with blood!
She must have cleaned and dressed his wounds hundreds, no... thousands of times!
Thank goodness...
He's conscious!
The worst of it is over... you should be better, soon.
You were... taking care of me?
Could it... could it really be you?!
You look just like her...
But... It can't be...
There's no way... Although you look just like her...
Who do I look like, exactly?
Erina Pendleton, maybe?
It's been quite a while, Jonathan Joestar... JoJo.
Erina! You've grown so much!
Well... certainly not as much as you have!
But...
It really has been... such a long time...
It has...
Looks like I wasn't as equipped for this task as I'd thought...
I'll come back later.
Time for Speedwagon to make like a cool breeze and blow on through!
I-I'm sorry, I suddenly felt faint...
Oh my! I didn't mean to...
And you caught me, even with a broken arm?!
I'll always be there to catch you when you fall.
Maybe it's just fate that we meet the people in our lives...
- Whitechapel Street, London -
What kind of filthy whore runs around town at this time of night?!
I believe that most people have some semblance of good within their hearts...
Something that instills terror in the presence of true evil...
But there are some... without even a whisper of good within them...
The evil elite.
And you are among that few, Jack of the Shadows...
And now you shall bow before me!
I can grant you magnificent power...
And with it, ecstasy beyond your wildest dreams!
Wryyyyy...
Let your worries melt away...
Speedwagon and I are the only ones who know the truth behind the tragedy, that day.
The police have determined the fire to be an accident...
But that mask still troubles me.
I've searched this wreckage to no end...
I can only hope it was shattered into pieces.
And that's all I can do... hope, and put it out of my mind.
JoJo!
Erina!
Who was that?
He's been following us for a while...
What's the matter?
Oh... It's noth -
Jonathan Joestar, I presume?
And the lady is Miss Erina Pendleton, correct?
W-Who are you?!
I'm impressed... you managed to survive the power of that stone mask!
JoJo!
That's it, let every last cubic centimeter of air be expelled from your lungs...
JoJo!
What kind of monster attacks a wounded man?!
He'll be out of breath for just a moment.
But don't fret.
W-What the?!
W-What's happening... to my body... to my arm?!
I am Baron Zeppeli...
And courage alone will not be enough to defeat those of the stone mask...
The pain from my broken arm...
It's almost completely gone!
I can lift this heavy stone easily!
How is that possible?!
W-What in the world did you do...?
And who the hell are you?!
One question at a time please, JoJo.
And it was not by my hand, it was your own breathing that eased the pain.
Ah... Achoo!
Why did you do this for me?!
How do you know my name?!
H-He's gone...
I said one question at a time, JoJo.
It's far easier to show you what I mean. Come along.
Once you see the way and come to trust me... your fate will be forever changed!
When I drove my finger into your diaphragm, it activated a special breathing technique.
A breathing technique?
Let me show you the energy you can wield with the right breathing...
W-What on earth is he doing?
What is this?!
W-What are those ripples?!
The way they're moving is totally unnatural!
What you are about to witness is the very same energy that soothed your agony!
No, stop!
Th-The frog wasn't even hurt!
It's a part of Sendo.
S-Sendo?
The energy of Hamon that you saw is the power that fuels Sendo.
My Hamon flowed harmlessly through the frog's body before impacting the stone and splitting it.
JoJo! I know that the stone mask remains intact!
The man who used the mask, Dio, still has it!
What?!
Did you say... Dio?!
Precisely!
I have been searching for that stone mask for decades...
...so that I may destroy it...
...and destroy all those who have been tainted by it!
It is your destiny to battle those of the stone mask!
You will master these techniques! Failure means certain death!
For you, and the entire human race!
Th-This can't be real...
JoJo, what is he talking about... what does this mean?!
E-Erina...
I... I can't let Erina get involved in this.
Not her... no matter what.
A-Are those... are those flowers?!
I-Incredible!
The Hamon energy that healed his arm is still coursing within him, and it's making those flowers bloom!
This young man named JoJo...
There is incredible potential and skill lying dormant within him...
This young man could be the savior of mankind!
No!!
Little by little, my power is returning...
This is what they call the food chain.
Hogs feed on vegetation, and humans feed on the meat from those hogs...
And we are the ones who consume those humans.
We feed on mankind, and this makes us the true rulers of the world!
Jack! Do what you will with her...
First I will bend the most wicked and impressionable people to my will...
And then, the world!
All will be mine for the taking... I will stand above the human race!
- 1 Week Later -
I have begun training in the secret of Hamon from the man known as Zeppeli,
in preparation of our battle against Dio.
The reason he's helping me is...
JoJo, let me tell you why I am pursuing that stone mask.
It was when I, Will A. Zeppeli, was about your age.
In my youth, I had an endless fascination with the bizarre.
My father was a scholar and an archaeologist. I joined his research team, and I traveled the world.
We were excavating an Aztec ruin...
But that means...
Indeed! And as fate would have it, I was the first person to get their hands on the stone mask!
It was on our voyage home when one of the excavation team somehow ended up activating the mask...
In his blood lust, he severed the heads of his former friends...
He tore their bodies; one by one, limb from limb.
There was 58 men on that ship... none of them survived.
I dove into the ocean, but still, he followed me!
Wrrryyyy...
That was when the sun began to rise!
In the light of dawn, I was able to see him clearly for the first time... his face...
It was the face of the man who led our expedition... my father.
The stone mask drifted out to sea, along with the ship that carried it...
I feared that someone else could discover the power of that stone mask one day...
I decided that I needed to find some way to counteract it.
That's when I discovered the power of Hamon.
The power of Hamon is born from the flow of one's own blood.
In contrast, the stone mask draws its power from the flowing blood of others.
They are opposing forces from the same source; two sides of the same coin!
Now I see!
The only way to cancel out Hamon is with an opposing one!
Precisely! When faced with a greater source of Hamon energy, they dissipate into nothing!
Because the waves that radiate through the power of Hamon...
...are on the same wavelength as the light of the sun itself!
Mr. Zeppeli, please teach me to wield the power of Hamon!
I'll endure whatever training you have in mind for me!
That's a relief, seeing as I would have used force if you refused!
Because I believe that Dio sees you as the first obstacle in his quest to conquer the world, JoJo!
Listen carefully, JoJo.
Your breathing is integral to your blood flow.
Your bloodstream carries oxygen from your lungs, after all.
And the oxygen brought by the flow of blood fuels your cells.
And those cells make up your body!
In other words, the same way Hamon moves through water, your breathing can generate Hamon from within your body.
Creating a potent source of energy!
He stretched his arm so his punch could reach me...
How is that possible?!
I call it "Zoom Punch!"
By dislocating my joints, I can extend the reach of my punch.
The power of Hamon will minimize the pain done to your body.
JoJo! Do not let this disrupt the rhythm of your breathing!
The power of Hamon is extremely sensitive to your state of mind.
Right!
Hey!
Mr. Joestar!
Speedwagon?
A mountain village called Windknight's Lot?
Yeah, I confirmed that someone matching Dio's description was spotted there.
And some of the townspeople have gone missing!
We're out of time. JoJo, you will have to perfect your Hamon breathing technique in combat.
Yes, sir! I'm ready to fight!
You can count me in!
This is the entrance to Windknight's Lot!
We should still have some daylight left, just like we planned.
Erina, I left without saying goodbye...
But I will return to you!
What's wrong?!
Coachman, why did you stop?
Be careful, sunlight doesn't reach this far into the tunnel!
Hey, coachman...
Was it Dio?
But where could he be?
Both of you... get away from the horses!
What the hell is this?! He crawled inside of the horse's body!
Mr. Joestar, this guy... this guy is bad news!
He's even more twisted and insane than Dio himself!
Dio already has minions like this to do his bidding?!
Both of you, step aside... I shall handle this.
He's a zombie...
A creature granted power and eternal life, as long as it consumes human flesh.
But he is completely under Dio's control.
A simple puppet of flesh and blood.
I'm going to strike real terror within you... watch you turn pale...
And then I'll have myself a taste...
...of your warm blood!
Prepare to be killed like the insects you are!
Now then, if I were him... how would I proceed?
This is an important lesson in combat psychology, JoJo.
First, put yourself in your enemy's shoes, try to imagine what they must be thinking...
If I were him, I'd try to cut off our only path towards sunlight...
I would collapse the entrance to the tunnel!
He threw the carriage to make the tunnel collapse!
Run, Speedwagon!
Here he comes!
S-Switchblades are coming out of his body?!
That must be how he was able to skewer the horses and the coachman so quickly!
Hamon Cutter!
It appears that my Hamon Cutter is a bit shaper than your knives, old bean.
JoJo, here's your next lesson on the psychology of battle.
Consider the flea. Those tiny little pests...
They will attack a human that towers over them without a moment's hesitation.
But would you call that courage?
I certainly wouldn't say a flea is brave!
Then what exactly is courage?!
True courage comes from knowing fear itself! From conquering your fear!
It is fear that disrupts your breathing!
But upon knowing your fear and conquering it, your breath will remain steady no matter what!
The Hamon breathing technique is born from courage!
The achievements of man are the product of courage!
The magnificence of man is the splendor of courage!
However strong they may be, these zombies know nothing of courage!
They are nothing more than fleas!
Sendo Wave Kick!
The power of Hamon destroys these beasts at a cellular level.
Amazing! He didn't even spill his wine!
JoJo, I want you to finish him off.
You have to make sure the brain is destroyed... That's the only way to truly defeat a vampire!
You bastards! I'll kill every last one of you!
I'll shred you to pieces and devour you!
Don't tell me... We're not going after him, are we?!
We have no choice...
But JoJo will be the only one going.
JoJo!
Eliminate him without spilling a single drop of this wine.
JoJo... your third lesson in combat psychology...
There's an old saying from Norway...
"The northern winds are what made the Vikings."
Spill even the tiniest drop of that wine...
And I will abandon you, even if you manage to defeat him.
Hey!
Listen to yourself, gramps! Have you lost your bloody mind?!
Watch your tone!
I understand!
"The northern winds are what made the Vikings," right?
It's like a maze down here...
Even with the torch, there are plenty of areas covered in shadow...
O-Oh no! This fire will mean -
I'm a walking target with this flame, I have to get rid of it!
But now I have no way of knowing where he could be attacking from...
I can smell you... I can smell the aroma of your blood...
Combat psychology lesson one... Put yourself in your enemy's shoes.
He's close by.
Lesson two... Conquer your fear.
That way my breathing won't be disrupted...
A little closer... I'll bite into your neck and tear your arteries open!
The harsh northern winds are said to have made the Vikings hearty and clever in order to survive.
Simply put, overcoming hardship is an opportunity for growth.
Do you think that wine test will make him into a Viking?
Because if it doesn't, he will never be able to defeat Dio.
Th-This is Hamon!
That's it... The wine is like the northern winds!
I can feel Hamon coming from the wine!
Through the glass, through my arm, down my body, into the ground...
I can feel the pulse of his life!
This wine is a way for me to detect Hamon!
My heart is burning...
With the heat of a raging fire!
I have you now, you bloodsucking zombie!
I'll send my Hamon through the wall...
Sendo Hamon...
Overdrive!
Come on, give me that sweet blood already!
I see you've realized my intentions with the wine, JoJo...
The harsh wind of struggle has given birth to a Viking!
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
Next Episode
At last, we meet!
What have you done, you bastard?!
Can he defeat these fearsome monsters?!
This is a duel of honor between heroes!
Dio, I'm putting an end to your twisted schemes!
