JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険)

It was raining.

On that day,

the rain didn't let up.

- -

Hey, you!

What the hell you doing over there?

Cut that shit out! It's annoying!

It's all over. I'm finished.

Damn that male prison guard.

Why'd he have to see me?

I can't... I can't live this down anymore!

I just want to die! Damn it!

Hey, what's going on with you?

Come on, tell me what happened.

While you're at it, what's your name again?

Oh yeah, it's Jo... something.

Jolyne! That's it, right?

What'd he see anyway?

So, like... well, basically... He, um...

Well, it's a word that starts with "M."

Huh?

I mean... you know... ugh.

I can't hear you!

Like I said...

M--mas...

Uh... you know...

Mastur... Oh god... bation, basically.

-Huh? -

Huh?

Wait... Are you kidding me?

I'll never get married!

Did you just say a guard saw you masturbating?

So he caught you flicking the bean, huh?

Tell me, which guard was it, huh?

I woke up at dawn this morning,

and I was looking at the shape

of the bars on the window.

And the moonlight was shining through just right,

so, I... um...

I started getting horny.

Then, uh... well, you know...

But when I looked up from my bed,

I saw him standing there.

You probably know him. He's the youngest guard here.

He was just standing outside of my cell watching me.

The look on his face was sickening.

It made me want to die!

I just want to end it all now!

Damn, for real?

Yeah, I know him. He's a real handsome guy.

Oh my god.

So tell me. How much did our peeping Tom see?

Know what? I'm just gonna ask straight up.

Where were your panties?

They weren't at your ankles, were they?

Is that something you really need to know?

And there's no way I'd tell you.

Anyway, I've already decided.

Until the day I die,

I won't even think about masturbating again.

I swear on my life!

Yeah, sure.

-We'll see about that. -

How the hell do you get horny

from looking at iron bars like that?

You're into freaky shit, ain't you?

Shut your mouth, you nosy skank!

Mind your own business instead of eavesdropping

and judging people you don't know!

It ain't like you've never done it before!

I don't think about doing pervy stuff

like you two hoes.

Who the hell are you anyway?

Back that up. Bet I'll last longer.

You clod! The hell kind of bet would that be?

Masturbating is a dirty little secret

you keep to yourself,

so how are you supposed to prove you didn't do it, huh?

If I said I could tell by your left ring finger,

what exactly would you do then?

You were brought in here

for something sex-related, weren't you?

-You've got a pro's finger. -

- -

Attention detainees number 21, 22, and 29.

You're being transferred.

In an orderly fashion, stand up

and place both of your arms outside of the window.

Now, be real.

Was all that ring finger crap true?

You a fortune teller?

- Part Japanese? -

You're one interesting chica.

How'd you end up here? What are you in for?

- -I'm innocent.

- -

You're being prosecuted for stealing a vehicle,

as well as running someone over.

Given your history of two previous thefts,

your bail definitely won't be approved.

In other words, Jojo,

you will now be transferred

to Green Dolphin Prison's Custody Jail

to be tried for your crimes.

You need to get ready for a trial.

Don't call me Jojo, you hear?

Only my mother calls me that.

Besides, you're talking about history,

but all I did was borrow a motorcycle for a bit.

And what does it even matter? I was 14!

All that matters is that I'm innocent here!

You better defend me with your life.

You're not cheap, you know?

Of course I will.

For the sake of the law, I'll try my best.

Jeez.

Hey, when is Mama coming to visit?

She's probably bawling her eyes out.

She's bummed to be sure,

but more than anything, she's worried for you.

I've brought some things for her.

You won't be wearing your prison uniform

during your trial, of course.

So there you'll find a change of clothes,

as well as some vitamins, reading material,

and your schoolwork.

What is this thing?

It appears to be a charm.

If you open it, there's a small stone inside.

Apparently, when your father divorced your mother,

he told her to give this to you

if you were to find yourself in trouble.

Hold on. Say what?

Jolyne, you okay?

Why you making a fuss? Keep it down now!

It's nothing, sir! Just a little scratch.

What kind of stone is this?

More important,

why are you bringing up my deadbeat dad?

If you must know,

your mother has no way of getting ahold of your father.

But you are his daughter.

With his work as a marine biologist,

he's been hard to pin down.

We last got word that he's conducting research

somewhere in Africa, so it's taking a while

to call him over.

What's the point of trying? It's not like he'd come.

That prick's never here.

There's no way.

Not for that kind of guy.

So screw him and his sinister crap!

What?

-What's wrong? -Nothing.

When can I see you next?

We'll meet in two days for your trial

at Green Dolphin Prison's Custody Jail.

Oh, yeah.

Jolyne, didn't you say you were innocent earlier?

It might be a custody jail, but it's still established

in Green Dolphin Prison, after all.

If you're being transferred there, you might--

After the trial, it'll all be clear.

There's no way I'm gonna be sent to prison.

Yeah.

Wwe're coming up on the bridge now.

We should be arriving in about ten minutes.

We're already there, huh?

They said we'll be arriving soon.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Didn't you just hear the driver?

That's impossible. Of course not.

We're going to be crossing the bridge now.

We'll reach the prison in ten minutes.

Understood.

Huh?

How'd you know he was gonna say that?

Another of your fortune-telling skills?

I'm not sure. Why was I able to hear him?

It's a mystery to me too.

Oh, my. You're a funny girl.

Anyway, the name's Ermes Costello.

I got caught robbing a convenience store.

It's my second time,

so they're throwing me in the slammer.

Ermes, huh? Nice to meet you.

Green Dolphin Street State Prison

and it's custody jail.

Also known as the "Aquarium."

Lot area, 120 square kilometers.

Total detainees include 708 men,

523 women,

and 452 juvenile delinquents under the age of 18.

Hey, Jolyne.
