Chapter 52. The Sky is Clear, the Rain Has Stopped and Jolyne Cujoh Feels She's Still Doing Fine
---
"Heh, not at all..."
At this moment, Jolyne Cujoh felt like a salted fish with no dreams, dried out under the sun.
She lazily browsed through the audience reactions to the latest episode of "Phantom Blood."
Meanwhile, a sense of decay and despair permeated her surroundings.
Because her plan had completely failed!
No, it wasn't exactly a failure.
At least when the episode depicting Zeppeli's death aired, all discussions about "Phantom Blood" were filled with widespread lamentation.
Until...
"[White Snake]! [C-Moon]!!"
Jolyne gritted her teeth.
She would never forget.
It was because of these two that she had ended up in this situation!
And it was these two that caused "Phantom Blood," which should have temporarily fallen into a low point, to quickly rise again.
It even attracted a lot more viewers and higher viewing numbers than usual!
With such a huge grudge here.
If she doesn't get revenge, she wouldn't be worthy of the name "Cujoh!"
However, these two were extremely cautious.
No matter how much she threatened or tempted them, they never revealed their true identities.
They were completely different from [Shiroyasha], who always hung around their comments and would reveal their location for a price.
But these small difficulties could not stop Jolyne Cujoh!
Zeppeli's death, you said it was the passing of will, right?
Then the death of Dire, which would soon be shown in the next episode.
Jolyne didn't believe that [White Snake] and [C-Moon] could come up with any excuses for this plot!
The reason of passing on will had already appeared in the plot of Zeppeli's death.
In fact, just in the previous episode.
For JOJO and the others in the plot of "Phantom Blood," it could have happened just a few minutes ago!
Don't tell me that the will passed by Zeppeli's death to JOJO only lasted a few minutes!?
If such a reason were to be given.
Not only Jolyne Cujoh.
Even the fans of "Phantom Blood" wouldn't believe it!
They couldn't and wouldn't believe it!
And would question—
—How could there be someone like you who keeps killing off important characters in the plot?!
Once this question is raised.
Not only would the viewers deceived by [White Snake] and [C-Moon] come to realize that "Phantom Blood" is a "bad show."
But [White Snake] and [C-Moon], who she couldn't catch, might also panic and accidentally reveal their identities!
It could be said that once episode eight of "Phantom Blood" aired.
Everything would get better!
Jolyne Cujoh had firmly believed in this before.
She even waited in the comments section, 2CH, and various forums related to "Phantom Blood," hoping for the capture of [White Snake] and [C-Moon]!
But, but!
[ ]: "The discourse from the OP of 'JoJo: Fate of the Bloodline' has already begun to showcase and will continue to carry on the golden spirit!"
...
Where did this fool come from? ... No, wait! Damn it! It's you again, [ ]!
Seeing the pinned post on 2CH.
Since the airing of episode eight of "Phantom Blood."
She had been closely monitoring the accounts of [White Snake] and [C-Moon]!
If it weren't for the restrictions, she would have wanted to schedule broadcasts in different regions to find these two bastards.
Jolyne's heart was in turmoil.
She had stayed up all night last night, guarding the full-dive device.
Until she repeatedly checked [White Snake] and [C-Moon]'s pages to confirm they probably wouldn't post any dangerous comments, only then did she get some rest in the morning.
And then she woke up.
Her house had been robbed!?
Not by [White Snake] and [C-Moon], but by the almost forgotten "[ ]"?!
"Speak! Are you system-arranged actors for me!?"
"Otherwise, why is it that I haven't spent a single cent, but you always actively, even at your own expense, promote me, whether it's passersby or major streamers!?"
"Is this reasonable!?"
(PS: Pucci: Very reasonable, because it's not actually self-funded. I did pay for it at the beginning...)
"Consider it a plea! If you really want to help me, then stop being counterproductive!!"
Jolyne, who was unaware of the efforts behind Pucci and the "loyalists," had completely lost her composure at this point.
Who can understand!? This state of wanting to completely give up.
Lasted for several minutes.
Before Jolyne gave up herself, thinking about the system rewards and the happiness of receiving rewards, reignited her fighting spirit.
Clap, clap, clap-----!!
Using the pain from slapping her cheeks.
Jolyne, rescued from the abyss of failure, got back on her feet and said, "... No, it's okay, no problem!"
"Rather, the fact that it's turned out this way is just a strategic mistake on my part!"
At this point, Jolyne's gaze regained her usual confidence.
And with a fiery gaze, she stared at the comments about "Phantom Blood."
After browsing so many comments about the audience's reactions to the new episode of "Phantom Blood."
Jolyne was convinced of one thing.
Extras sometimes have no human rights.
The death of Dire did not cause the major impact she had anticipated.
Not because [ ] and [White Snake] had brainwashed the viewers.
But because Dire, who had just appeared, was on screen for too short a time.
Apart from showing his friendship with Zeppeli, his successful Ripple attack on DIO before his death providing a little inspiration for JOJO, and the vulgar comparison DIO made about his Ripple.
He didn't leave a deep impression on the audience.
Let alone that the one who killed him was DIO...
For the viewers, it was quite normal for Dire to be defeated by DIO.
It was the opposite—DIO being defeated by Dire—that would be hard to believe.
This is also a flaw of the original "Phantom Blood."
The fast-paced plot left no time for the audience to think and immerse themselves.
Even with the adjustments and alterations made by Pucci and the others, it couldn't suddenly increase the screen time.
So with only a few viewers realizing the significance of Dire's death, it naturally couldn't cause a big stir.
But this time...
The sky is clear, the rain has stopped, and Jolyne Cujoh, feeling she's still doing fine, said confidently.
"But now it's time for the protagonist JOJO to show what passing on means!"
