JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険)

Feast your eyes on that wreck, would ya?

Damnation.

This bastard must've died right quicklike.

Fell off that cliff, I'll warrant.

Carriage wheels slipped in the mud.

They weren't hurting for coin, if these fine clothes tell it true.

Dario!

The lady is dead, but the baby with her,

it's still alive. I can hear it.

She must have protected it with her body.

Leave it be. Soon enough, it'll be dead.

W‐what are you doing?!

You've got eyes, ain't ya, woman?

I'm appropriating his jewelry.

Eh? What have we here?

Evil‐looking thing, ain't it?

Won't fetch me nothin'.

Hey! Lend a hand!

Help me yank out his pearly teeth!

They'll fetch a pretty copper.

Eh? Wha?!

Providence sends me aid in the guise of a man.

Many thanks.

Eh?

My wife...

My wife and son,

tell me, do they live?

I hate to say it,

but your wife, saints preserve her, has gone on to her heavenly rest,

but the baby is alive and well.

Fate is most cruel.

My name is George Joestar.

You have saved my life this cursed night.

Quickly tell me your name, that I may remember before my senses fail me.

This peacock thinks I'm here outta the goodness of me heart.

Heh heh heh heh heh. Little does he know.

Ha ha ha ha! Guess I'll oblige him!

Dario Brando, your lordship.

Sir, I swear to you,

the Joestar family will honor the debt we have incurred.

Ah, there's a good boy.

Father! I'm off!

Then fare thee well, JoJo!

Let's go, Danny!

Dio.

Mind your father.

Damn your eyes, you lazy boy.

Are you deaf?

What do you want, father, medicine?

You idiot! Their snake oil does me no good.

Get out of here, and don't come back until you've found me some booze!

Your manners are dreadful.

Forgive me, father.

Checkmate.

Take it.

Don't feel so smart now, do ya, whelp?

No, stop!

Please, just give her back!

Oh, lemme guess, Erina!

Your daddy bought you this doll, didn't he?

It's fancy. Being a quack must pay him real nice.

I know.

What do ya say we peel off this fancy‐looking dress, eh,

and see if they made her with all the real girl bits underneath?

Erina's a crybaby!

Erina's a crybaby!

Erina's a cry...

That's enough!

Give it back to her right now!

Who's this guy?

You some friend of Erina's?

I've never met her,

but I'll fight for her all the same!

Who is this idiot?

Getting in a fight for a girl he don't even know!

Looks like somebody was nothin' but talk.

Look at him there on the ground.

Are you gonna cry?

Some knight in shining armor you turned out to be.

Huh? This little pantywaist is the Joestar kid.

Now that I know you're some rich guy's son,

we're just getting started.

You can't buy your way outta this.

Hit him some more!

Listen, Dio. I am not long for this world.

When I die...

You get yourself to the Joestar mansion along with this letter.

The fool thinks he owes me.

This is your ticket to greatness.

It's your only chance, Dio. Go out there, and take this useless world for all you can get.

Crawl on back to your damn manor, little lord fauntleroy.

Let's go.

You okay?

Just leave me alone!

I'll be fine!

I did not take a beating just now for your sake,

so whatever you're thinking, stop it!

All I want is to conduct myself as a gentleman.

I spotted a damsel in distress.

A true gentleman has no fear.

He'll fight for those who can't.

Even knowing it's a fight he has no chance of winning, he enters the fray.

Someday, I'll have the strength to win.

Devil that you were, you drove mother to an early grave.

I'm glad you're dead.

May you burn for your sins.

The riches that eluded your grasp,

I will claim them in excess.

You lacked the cunning to take what you wanted, but I'll prevail.

This Joestar shall be the key.

Now burn.

I will claim what is rightfully mine.

"Jonathan Joestar."

This is the tale of two young men,

their destinies bound to intersect,

and the stone mask that changes their fates forever.

Who is he?

You must be Dio Brando, right?

And you're Jonathan, heir to the Joestars.

Yes. Please, call me JoJo.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Danny!

That's Danny. He's my dog, as well as my steadfast companion.

Don't worry. He knows better than to nip at strangers.

What was that for?!

How dare you?!

So this is the brat I must usurp.

Wears his heart on his sleeve. He's quick to anger.

This pampered fool is no match for the likes of Dio Brando.

Fighting already?

I would know what this is about.

Sorry. The dog jumped at me, and in my haste, I struck it.

Welcome to the manor.

Consider yourself a part of the family.

Everyone, I would have died in the crash that claimed my wife were it not for Dio's father.

You will treat him as you would my own son.

Very well, your lordship.

This is your home now, Dio.

Please avail yourself of all its comforts.

Thank you, sir,

for taking in this poor unfortunate.

JoJo has lost his mother as well,

and you're the same age.

You'll be thick as thieves soon.

JoJo, Dio didn't mean to hurt Danny.

Right.

It stands to reason, father.

If a strange dog jumped at me,

I'd be surprised, too.

I wish his apology had been more sincere,

but as we'll be living here together,

I'll do my utmost to be friendly.

This way, Dio.

I'll show you your chamber.

Yes, sir.

You're hurting me!

Please let go.

Watch your hands.

No one's allowed to touch my things without my permission.

Next time you reach for what's mine with this paw,

I'll break it.

I was only trying to help!

Well, don't.

I will have a servant carry them up for me.

Listen. I may be a guest within your house,

but I am not to be trifled with.

In all things that I do, I am number one.

Look down your nose at me, and you'll regret it.

But, Dio, I want for us to be friends.

And another thing. I hate all mongrels.

They don't scare me.

I just despise how they fawn over the unworthy.

So keep that mangy mutt of yours well away from me, Joestar.

Dio, what's keeping you?

Hurry along.

Yes, sir.

With Dio's sudden arrival,

JoJo's carefree life spiraled into one of misery.

You got another one wrong, JoJo!

Look at Dio. 20 out of 20, not a single mistake.

JoJo!

Your table manners are simply abhorrent. You act as if you were raised in a barn.

Clear JoJo's plate at once.

He's had enough.

That's all the dinner you get tonight.

It's clear to me that I failed in your upbringing when I look at Dio.

If your mother could see you now.

Dio's manners are impeccable.

What an oaf.

Our first pugilist up is Jonathan Joestar.

He's been looking stronger lately, I'd say.

As for his opponent today,

it's a boxer we haven't seen before.

Huh?

He's a newcomer to our fair city.

All we know is his name.

It can't be.

Introducing our surprise opponent,

Dio Brando!

Same as ever. Land a hit to the other guy's face, and the match is over. Now fight.
