Chapter 103

"The anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage! The greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage!"

In the second half of the fourth episode, Zeppeli, his body severed in two, used his final Ripple to pull Jonathan back from the gates of death.

While exhausting his final life energy, he also shouted his signature line.

In the original work, this line was supposed to be said while he was teaching Jonathan the Ripple, but Xu Feng slightly modified this plot.

Changing it to his dying words as he generously faced death made it even more tragic.

"JOJO! You must inherit my will!"

And the effect of the modification was even better than Xu Feng had imagined.

When Zeppeli, passing his Ripple into Jonathan's body while he himself aged rapidly, shouted this, all the men in front of the screen couldn't help but be moved.

【Oh my god! I have goosebumps!】

【Xu Feng really understands what men want to see!】

【Rest in peace, Uncle Zeppeli.】

【The anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage, the greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage! Damn, Xu Zhanan's design for the dialogue is truly amazing!】

And Jonathan, having received Zeppeli's final life Ripple, after defeating Tarkus.

Surrounded by Speedwagon, he stood beside Zeppeli, who was left with only half a body and whose face had aged severely due to the loss of all life energy.

"JOJO... I was married when I was young, but for the Stone Mask, I abandoned my family. Even so, I am satisfied with my fate..."

"JOJO... you are my hope... from now on, I will live on in your life..."

After saying this, Zeppeli's hand, which was tightly gripping Jonathan's, fell limply and hit the ground.

"Uncle!!!"

Speedwagon's wailing echoed through the castle.

Jonathan also closed his eyes and shed tears.

And male viewers who weren't easily moved also subconsciously touched their sore noses and wiped away the tears welling up in their eyes.

"This is probably the best character you've played in these past few years, right?"

Zhao Wenzhuo's wife, Zhang Danlu, picked up a tissue to blow her nose, her eyes slightly red as she smiled and asked Zeppeli... oh no, Zhao Wenzhuo, who was sitting beside her.

"You don't know how tired I was when playing this character; I've never seen those poses in all the martial arts shows I've acted in..."

Recalling the bizarre poses he had to strike during filming, Zhao Wenzhuo still feels his bones creaking.

But when he saw himself in the show shouting that "The anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage, the greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage" as he faced death,

he felt it was all worth it.

William...

Finally, in the deepest part of the castle, he confronted his arch-enemy Dio.

Dio: "WRYYYY! Watch me drain your life!"

Jonathan: "Haa! I've come to purify your filthy ambition!"

Seeing the two drawing closer, Speedwagon, sweating profusely, muttered to himself:

"According to my, Speedwagon's, judgment, Dio's movement speed is comparable to a cheetah among animals, but JOJO, who has now received Mr. Zeppeli's Ripple, should be able to see through his movements."

"However, that guy Dio's power can crush human flesh and bone in an instant; the outcome will be decided in a split second, the moment the two pass each other!"

Even though this was the most tense moment of the entire show's decisive battle, hearing this series of commentary from Speedwagon, many viewers couldn't help but curl their lips upward.

【It's here! The professional commentator!】

【Isn't this too funny? He's been talking for minutes, the other side is almost done fighting, right?】

【As everyone knows, commentary doesn't count toward battle time.】

【Time-stop commentary, right?】

【...】

At the beginning, everyone felt that Speedwagon's behavior of mixing commentary into the battle was truly bizarre.

But after a few episodes, they actually started to get used to it.

However, the viewers who are currently only teasingly calling it "time-stop commentary" would never have imagined that two seasons later, so-called "time-stop" commentary would actually appear.

"Can a monkey win against a human? In my, Dio's, eyes, you are just a monkey! JOJO!"

"WRYYYYYY!!!"

Amidst Dio's signature screech, his arms were covered in a layer of frost as he lunged at Jonathan.

It's here!

Dio's ultimate move, Vaporizing Freeze!

"Wrong! As long as there is faith, there is nothing humans cannot do!"

Jonathan concentrated all his Ripple into his right fist and passed it through the fire altar, coating it in a layer of flames.

"At the very end! Who will be the one defeated! It's about to be revealed! Dio!!!"

"WRYYYYYY!!!"

As they clashed, after a brief stalemate, Jonathan's iron fist heavily pierced through Dio's chest.

However, when seeing the scene of Dio falling off the cliff,

Jonathan couldn't help but shed two lines of clear tears.

Because his youth was a youth spent together with Dio.

In the end, Jonathan, exhausted and unconscious, fell into Speedwagon's arms.

And Speedwagon also cried tears of joy, raising his hands and shouting:

"Do you see it? Mr. Zeppeli! He did it! Mr. Joestar finally did it!"

Episode four, end.

And at this point, everyone felt a sense of relief from the bottom of their hearts.

【Won! Finally won!】

【I don't know why, even though it's only four episodes, I feel like I've finished a long TV series of over forty episodes.】

【This is the awesomeness of Xu Zhanan; he absolutely never pads his shows!】

【Exactly, many TV shows nowadays use all sorts of sleazy tactics for the sake of runtime; Xu Zhanan doesn't play that game, as if he's afraid of letting us watch two extra episodes.】

【The next episode should be a happy ending where Jonathan and Elina get married and live in seclusion, right?】

【Isn't it ending too early? Counting next week, it's only 6 episodes!】

【Don't be happy too soon, don't forget Aizen who faked his death earlier... Xu Zhanan loves playing with resurrection.】
