Chapter 80. What, What, What, What is All This!

---

Cujoh Jolyne: (?д?;)

Huh???

What's going on?

No way, not again?!

"Clunk"------!!

Cujoh Jolyne forcefully removed her full-dive helmet, making the absurd data that had been displayed before her quickly vanish from view as the monstrous figures retreated.

Her expression at this moment was nothing short of spectacular.

She couldn't imagine that her flawless money-losing plan had once again encountered a flaw?!!

"No, that's impossible! My flawless money-losing plan can't possibly have a flaw!"

"I must have seen it wrong!"

"That's right, it's all Dad's fault! What was he doing there being jealous? I must have been so happy that I misread the data and added a few extra zeros!"

Yes, she must have misread it!

With this thought, Cujoh Jolyne regained her confidence.

She shakily put the full-dive helmet back on, intending to recount the data she had "misread"...

…

Kirito: "By the way, has everyone seen the latest episode of 'Battle Tendency'?"

[ ]: "Not yet. In fact, after Green Dolphin Studio decisively killed off JOJO and even his son, leaving only Erina and Joseph from the Joestar family who were supposed to be left with three characters at the end of 'Phantom Blood,' I became a staunch Green Dolphin Studio hater!"

[ ]: "So @Kirito, you traitor, don't think I'll watch any more works from Green Dolphin Studio!"

Knives!

The knives are constantly coming out!

If we talk about the first episode of 'Battle Tendency' and what kind of viewing experience it was for us old fans who had seen 'Phantom Blood' and were deeply fascinated by every character in it, then this is the result.

The Joestar family, with only Erina and Joseph, left to rely on each other.

And even after their misfortune, the screenwriter still didn't want to let them go, killing off their close friend Speedwagon in the first episode!

And the manner of death.

It was by Straizo, a Ripple warrior who had participated in the battle against DIO, personally turned into a vampire and killed!?

Is Straizo worthy of JOJO's sacrifice?!

Is he worthy of the will and faith that has been passed down through countless sacrifices?!

It's simply a joke.

Zeppeli, JOJO... in the story of 'Phantom Blood,' the things countless people wanted to prove, were so easily discarded by Straizo.

Regarding such a plot, Sora didn't know how others felt.

But he, for one, couldn't watch any longer.

Kirito: "I've already said I'm not a traitor. And didn't I just play a minor role in 'Phantom Blood'? Why does everyone assume I'm from Green Dolphin Studio?"

Kirito really felt wronged.

He only played a minor role and took on some promotional work!

Except for playing a minor role, he hadn't done anything else.

Didn't Sora receive money from Pucci for promotion?

Everyone is in the same group, so how could they didn't know?

Why did he become a traitor while Sora had no issues at all?

Although Sora's comments were in line with his own feelings...

However...

Kirito: "Straizo didn't completely betray this will and faith. In the very end, Straizo still died as a Ripple warrior, on the path of using Ripple to eliminate vampires."

[ ]: "...?"

Not Wearing It is Truly Cool: "Although I don't want to admit it, @Kirito is indeed right. Straizo is indeed different from the vampire DIO."

Gohan and Kamehameha: "It is indeed undeniable."

[ ]: "...?!"

Did I miss something?!

Sora, who initially wanted to continue arguing with Kirito, stared blankly at the comments online.

Then, after hurriedly hugging Shiro to absorb sisterly elements and confirm he wasn't dreaming, he looked even more bewildered at these comments.

Could it be that the 'Battle Tendency' he watched last week was actually a different work?

Why is Kirito's and others' description so different from his impression of the plot?

"Shiro, did I really watch 'Battle Tendency' before, and Joseph Joestar's name was indeed JO (Joseph) JO (Joestar), right?"

Sora asked uncertainly.

"Yes, that's right, big brother."

Shiro's voice, slightly shy due to Sora's earlier actions, responded.

However, Sora, whose attention was entirely focused on this strange matter, didn't notice Shiro's unusual behavior.

Instead, he hugged Shiro even tighter because of the poor connection between reality and memory.

After all, who would have thought that, after DIO's precedent, Straizo would become a vampire for such a clear and noble reason?

Not for power, not for money, and not to gain vampire powers to rule the world.

But simply to restore youth!?

Rather than aging with an ugly appearance, it's better to go to hell with the fulfillment of regained youth.

...That's the reason Straizo became a vampire.

Also, under Joseph's multiple schemes.

Not only did he use a large number of thermal weapons attacks, destroying the beetle scarf specifically designed to counter ripples on Straizo's body, but also during this short and intense attack, he drained Straizo's life energy to the point that even the vampire's recovery abilities started to slow down.

Finally, he grasped Straizo's intention to deal with him, leading the already weakened Straizo on a marathon through New York City.

To continuously consume Straizo's life energy and stamina, wearing down his patience and making him more eager to quickly resolve the situation in order to absorb others' life energy for replenishment.

In this situation, having already understood the vampire's abilities during the earlier attack and knowing what kind of vampire skills Straizo had, Joseph, he almost didn't need to think.

He knew that in the deliberately distanced battle and the chosen battlefield of the steel ropes on the bridge, which allowed only forward and backward movement with no side dodging, Straizo would use what kind of move first—

-- Space Ripper Stingy Eyes!

Only this move.

And it was the easiest one to resolve!

After all, liquid is the best conductor of Ripple, even if it's the body fluid squeezed out of a vampire's eyeball.

The most important thing is, Joseph, who had been attacked by Straizo with this move more than once, was very familiar with the attack trajectory, which specifically targeted his forehead!

So the subsequent battle had no suspense.

Straizo was easily knocked down by Joseph using a Ripple-enhanced wine glass, reflecting Space Ripper Stingy Eyes back at Straizo.

And then, Straizo had to end his own life using Ripple breathing...

Faced with such an unexpected ending.

One could only say that Joseph's battle IQ was indeed too high.

No wonder Sora, who hadn't started watching yet, looked as bewildered as Cujoh Jolyne himself.

"No, I still have the secret move, Nobuo Tobita!!"

Cujoh Jolyne shouted unwillingly.
