Chapter 120

A destiny severed by Star Platinum

Stand up!! Stand up!! Stand up!!

Rise up with courage!

..."

In the MV, five stars, set against the night sky, take flight from the Dragon Kingdom, cross half the globe, and head straight for Egypt.

DIO, turning sideways in the darkness, exuding an overbearing aura.

The five-man protagonist group traveling through different scenes: towns, deserts, forests, and islands.

From the first generation to the third, the fate of the Joestar family finally converges behind Jotaro.

"All right now, All right now, All right now

This is the moment

Defeat the enemy

Break you down, Break you down, Break you down

Defeat them in one stroke

The image of the soul that paves the way

Stand Proud!"

At the end of the opening theme, Star Platinum rises from behind Jotaro, swinging its fists at light speed, shattering the lens amidst the passionate music.

As if to shatter the prison of fate!

And finally, the words *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders* are branded onto the center of the screen!

The screen goes black again, and after a few seconds, it slowly lights up with the title of this episode—

[The Emperor and The Hanged Man]

Sure enough, another Stand named after a Tarot card.

And the JO fans, who had watched the opening MV for the umpteenth time, couldn't help but curse themselves for being weak-willed.

Ever since Polnareff joined the team, the opening theme was released, and they hadn't been able to resist watching the whole thing every time.

You have to know, this is something even *Bleach* didn't achieve.

As soon as this episode started, it threw out another meme—

Polnareff's bizarre toilet.

When they saw the pig's head poking out of the toilet, even the audience was startled.

Then, when they heard the Indian waiter explain that there was a pigsty under the toilet, and that after finishing, you let the pig help you lick it clean so you don't need your fingers,

Netizens flooded the screen with comments saying this is very "Indian."

Comments like [I really doubt Xu Feng's mental state when he wrote this plot] scrolled across the playback page.

Wondering what on earth Xu Feng experienced in India to be able to write such a plot.

Soon, Polnareff encountered the first enemy in the restroom—

The Stand user who attacks from within the mirror, The Hanged Man!

According to the information Jotaro gave him in the previous episode.

Polnareff knew this was the Stand of the enemy who killed his sister, whom he had been desperately tracking.

Polnareff, blinded by rage, stated that since he had found the enemy here, he had no reason to continue traveling with Jotaro's group.

He decided to find the user of The Hanged Man, J. Geil, alone.

"Can't you see this is a trap to lure you into going deep alone? I won't allow you to act on your own! Polnareff!"

Just as Polnareff was about to leave, Avdol scolded him sternly.

"Don't lecture me! I said from the beginning that I only joined you to get revenge! DIO's business has nothing to do with me!"

"What did you say? Have you forgotten that DIO is the root of all evil?!"

"Shut up! You coward who once ran away just seeing DIO, how could you know how I felt after my sister was killed!?"

Polnareff's words deeply stung Avdol's soft spot.

Helpless, he could only let him leave.

However, the development of events was exactly as Avdol had predicted.

Polnareff, acting alone, soon encountered two enemy Stand users: [The Emperor], Hol Horse, and J. Geil.

Without understanding the opponent's abilities, Polnareff was on the verge of being killed by the two.

"Danger! Polnareff!"

Just at the critical moment, Avdol rushed out from the other side, suddenly tackling Polnareff, finally avoiding Hol Horse's bullet at the last second.

However, unexpectedly, the other enemy struck suddenly; The Hanged Man, appearing like an ancient Egyptian assassin, manifested in the puddle beneath Avdol and stabbed his knife into the back of Avdol's reflection's neck!

Bang—

"In the puddle!?"

Avdol widened his eyes in disbelief, before he could make his next move.

A bullet that broke through the air pierced his skull!

"Mr. Avdol!"

Hearing the commotion, Kakyoin was ultimately a step too late.

When he arrived, he could only watch helplessly as Avdol's body fell heavily.

Thud!

The heavy sound of Avdol hitting the ground seemed to strike the hearts of the audience, making them shudder violently.

"Mr. Avdol! Mr. Avdol! Wake up, wake up!"

Kakyoin rushed over, picking up the blood-soaked, unconscious Avdol, calling out repeatedly.

However, upon seeing his hands covered in blood, Kakyoin froze.

The audience subconsciously held their breath and gripped their armrests tightly.

No, it can't be?

Killing off a member of the protagonist group this early?

"Hmph! That's the fate of a meddlesome guy, serves him right!"

Just then, Polnareff, standing to the side, spoke up out of the blue.

"You, what did you say? Mr. Avdol was only worried about you..."

Hearing this, the grief on Kakyoin's face instantly turned to anger.

Polnareff waved his hand and shouted:

"Who asked him to worry? Meddlesome and stupid as hell! It's because I'd be dragged down by guys like this that I chose to act alone!"

"You, you bastard, he clearly saved you and yet you..."

Kakyoin was trembling with rage and wanted to rush over and punch him.

Everyone in front of the screen also clenched their fists, feeling exactly the same as Kakyoin.

However, the next second, when they saw the tears next to Polnareff, they were all stunned.

"Wooo... I can't stand it anymore..."

Polnareff turned his head, tears streaming from his eyes and staining his face, sobbing uncontrollably:

"Having someone die in front of me... I've really had enough!!!"

A strong sense of swelling rose in the viewers' throats; they wanted to say something but found it hard to express, and at the same time, their eyes couldn't help but sting.

"Sigh..."

In his own office, Xu Feng also felt a sting in his heart, using his finger to wipe the inner corners of his eyes.

Nazha, noticing this scene, had her eyes light up.

She unexpectedly felt that her boss, who had the aura of a domineering CEO, was quite cute.

Shedding tears while watching such a scene.

Oh my, I really want to give him a hug~

Back to the point, this segment was indeed one of the famous scenes that made Xu Feng shed tears in his past life.

To be honest, the man who made Xu Feng shed the most tears watching *JoJo* in his past life.

It wasn't Jotaro, nor was it Kakyoin.

It was Polnareff.

This man who first lost his sister, then his best friend, and finally even lost his Stand.
