JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険)

No way! We got it. That treasure's been at the bottom of the ocean for a hundred years,

and now whatever's in it is ours.

Hey, stay calm.

We gotta get it on the boat before we start celebrating.

Yeah, I know. I know.

Up we go.

That thing looks too long and narrow to be a treasure chest.

Just do your job! You're lifting it too high.

Okay, on three.

One, two, three.

All right.

Come on. Crack it open already.

Hold on. Wait. This is bizarre.

It seems like this thing was locked from the inside.

Who the hell cares? Just bust it open.

Just give me a sec. Something's written on it.

D-I-O, "Dio."

Is that someone's name?

I don't care!

Just freakin' open it up!

The sun's about to go down, and don't wanna be countin' treasure in the dark.

Okay, I hear you.

I'm gonna go get the blowtorch.

And then we can start dividin' up our loot.

On a day like any other, a motorboat was found adrift and abandoned.

The craft was largely undamaged and showed no signs of struggle.

In the galley, three cups of coffee sat half full,

and on deck, an iron chest, its lock melted away, lay open and empty.

But the chest's unusual shelter-like chambers

baffled discoverers,

who believed it to have once contained a vast treasure.

But interest waned, and before long, the chest was forgotten.

Jotaro Kujo, 17 years old and 195 centimeters tall.

His father is a Japanese jazz musician, currently on tour.

His mother is an American of British decent.

Yes, all of that is correct, and Jotaro is definitely my son.

It seems like all his friends call him JoJo.

Guess they decided to take the Jo from his first name and the Jo from his last name and combine 'em.

Ah, man, that's really lame.

I... I need to know.

Exactly how many people did Jotaro kill?!

No! I take it back! I don't want to know!

Settle down. Nobody said anything about him killin' people.

He got into a fight. That's all.

The truth is, the thugs he tangled with were all armed with nunchuks and knives.

He fought four punks, one being an ex-boxer, and he broke 15 of their bones, and he busted their balls.

Sorry if that was crude.

He put all of them in the hospital.

Things could have gone a lot worse. He's gotta be shown the severity of his actions.

Okay.

The real issue is what happened afterward.

Copy this, and pass it around.

Yes, sir.

I gotta tell you, that son of yours is a strange one.

Huh?

Okay, follow me. I'll show you the way.

Thank you for everything.

Look, you can thank me by takin' your kid home.

So then, does that mean you're releasing him?

Well, we can't keep him in here forever.

Okay.

By the way, ma'am, I have to tell you your Japanese is really quite good.

Just how long have you been livin' in Japan?

For 20 years now.

Well, that explains it, then.

Good work, men.

This place has been overrun lately.

We got an entire backlog of criminals that we aren't even able to find cells for.

We're almost there, ma'am. Your son's just up ahead.

Jotaro!

Jotaro, throw the ball to mom.

That's it. Good boy.

Do your best at that track meet tomorrow.

I will.

Jotaro.

You did it. Let's go out to eat and celebrate.

Nothing's as good as your cooking, mom.

Jotaro.

Jotaro.

Jotaro.

Jotaro!

Jotaro!

Shut up!

Get out of my face, you bitch!

Okay!

I promise you he's a very sweet boy.

He's just not capable of doing something so appalling.

Hey, on your feet, Kujo!

You're being released. What part of "go home" don't you understand?

Hmph.

Listen, mom, you can leave.

I'll be stayin' here for a while.

Huh?

Seems I've been possessed by an evil spirit,

and I've no idea what he'll make me do next.

During that fight, it took all I had just to stop it,

so do everyone a favor, and leave me in this cage.

Jeez. For crying out loud. Do you see what I'm talking about?

We're trying to release him, but he refuses to go.

I'm sorry to have to ask you this, but are you sure everything's all right with your boy upstairs?

This isn't a hotel, you know, ma'am.

Come on! Let us change cells! Please!

He's not lying about the evil spirit thing.

All right, all right! That's enough! All of you, shut up!

Is he... seriously?

What are you doin' with a beer in a jail cell?! How did you even get that in there?!

I told you. I've got an evil spirit,

and sometimes it likes to bring me things.

They're still in, still in.

What the hell?! He's reading "Shonen Jump" while listening to a radio!

Sir, I... I mean, how is this even possible?

We have a major problem here!

Hold it.

This might not be enough to make you guys keep me locked up in here,

but I'll show you how evil this spirit is anyway.

Maybe then you'll see why lettin' me outta here is a bad idea.

That's my gun he has in his hand. But how'd he...

That's really bad.

You didn't see it just now?

Well, if you guys didn't see my evil spirit, then watch this.

No! Jotaro!

It's like there's someone behind me.

It bound itself to me not long ago.

Jotaro's grandfather Joseph has strange powers...

But what's happening to my son?

Papa!

Hmm?

Over here, papa! Over here.

Holly! Outta my way.

Oh, I can't believe you're here.

Thank you for coming.

Hey, you're my one and only daughter, and if you tell me you need me to be somewhere,

then just give me a day, and I'll cross the globe.

Did mom come?

She didn't like me leavin',

but I just told Suzie that it was official Joestar corporation business and I had to go.

Thanks, papa.

Holly, hey.

The greeting's over. Let go of me already.

No. I don't wanna.

It's been forever since you've held me.

Look at yourself.

Come on. You're a 45-year-old woman. Let go.

Oh, now you've done it.

I'm gonna tickle you. Tickle, tickle, tickle.

Hey, stop that!

No!

Goochie-goochie goo.

Hmm?

Hey, what are you clowns staring at?

Mommy.

Don't look.

I'll take your bag.

By the way, Holly, about Jotaro...

You sure he used the word "evil spirit"?

Oh, my poor little boy.

Yes. The policemen said they couldn't see it, but I saw it. It's like he had a third arm,

and then he reached out and grabbed the gun.

And when this arm came out, no one else there could see it but you?

That's right.

And aside from Jotaro saying that he's been possessed, you're okay?

Did anything happen to you?

I feel totally fine, but what do I do about Jotaro?

He says he won't leave that cell until he finds the cause of all this.

What am I gonna do, papa?

There, there, my darling daughter.

You've got Joseph Joestar with you now.

No need to worry.

Thank you.

Now let's go see my grandson.

Jotaro can explain this himself.

It's gettin' spookier.

He's got more stuff in his cell now,

and he's violent.

If something is possessing him, it's definitely not something nice.

If word of this gets out to my superiors, I'll lose my job in a heartbeat for sure.

He's no longer your problem.

I'll be taking my grandson home now.

Your grandson?

Hold it. That's far enough.

You're better off just staying where you are.

It's dangerous. Convince him to leave from where you're standing, or I can't...

I'll take my chances.

Now step aside, and leave him to me.

We won't be held responsible.

Move it!

Jotaro, this is your grandfather.

Whatever's happened, he'll be able to help you.

Please come out and talk to him.

Come out. It's time to go home.

Get lost.

I didn't ask you to come here.

You really think you can help me,

an old man like yourself?

Sorry you came all the way from New York, but nobody can help me, gramps.

Huh?

Wait.

That's the pinkie from my prosthetic left hand.

When was he able to take it?

So did you see it or even feel it?
