Chapter 46: Muda Muda Muda! Panties! WRYYYYYYY!!!

Ignoring the comments of those keyboard warriors for now, the audience clicked into the second episode.

Regardless, Xu Feng’s new work presented them with a piece that absolutely deserved the word "excellent."

After the second episode began, the plot delved deeper.

Jonathan arrived in London and met Speedwagon, a man from a street-thug background, who was conquered by Jonathan’s noble soul.

After successfully obtaining the antidote, Jonathan finally returned to the Joestar mansion and exposed Dio’s crimes in public. ===== CHAPTER 100 =====

At this moment, a large number of police officers had surrounded the Joestar mansion, leaving no way out.

Countless gun barrels were aimed at Dio.

Seeing this scene, the audience who had been wanting to rush into the screen to punch Dio finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This prick should be dead now, right?

"JOJO, at the very end, please, at least let me put the handcuffs on myself."

Under these circumstances, Dio feigned a humble look of repentance, extending his hands with a sincere tone.

"I understand."

Recalling the years spent with Dio, Jonathan’s expression softened.

He took the handcuffs from the police chief and walked toward him.

"Be careful, Mr. Joestar."

Speedwagon, played by Deng Chao, warned.

However, just as the handcuffs were about to touch Dio’s wrists, Dio suddenly began to mutter to himself with a look of melancholy:

"JOJO, human ability has its limits..."

Hearing this, Jonathan in the show and the audience outside the screen were both stunned.

They heard Dio continue:

"I’ve learned one thing in my short life: the more one schemes, the more easily one falls into unexpected predicaments, unless one transcends humanity..."

"What are you trying to say? Dio!"

Jonathan frowned, asking in confusion.

But the only response he got was a hideous grin from Dio.

"I reject my humanity, JOJO!"

He pulled out the Stone Mask from his coat and used his other hand to pull out a dagger, stabbing at the caught-off-guard Jonathan.

"JOJO! I'll use your blood!"

In the audience's minds, Dio’s line, "I reject my humanity, JOJO," was looping infinitely in a devilishly catchy way.

The brainwashing level was comparable to "It was me, Dio!" from the previous episode!

And just as Jonathan was caught off guard, George Joestar rushed over to block the blow.

"Wasn't he on the second floor? When did he get over there?"

Liu Yifei, who was watching the show on her iPad, stared with wide eyes, muttering to herself in confusion.

"Father!!"

"Hehehe... Hahahahaha!!"

Amidst Jonathan’s agonizing cries, the laughter of Dio, who had already put on the blood-stained Stone Mask, provided an extreme contrast.

"Fire!"

The officers realized the gravity of the situation and, without further hesitation, attacked Dio.

Countless bullets poured into Dio, who was wearing the Stone Mask, blood spraying from his body.

He flew backward, smashing through the mansion’s glass and landing in the courtyard outside.

Seeing Dio’s corpse outside the window motionless, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

It felt as if everything had come to an end.

"WRYYYYYY!!!"

Just then, a sharp, long wail, as if coming from hell, echoed in everyone’s ears.

Jonathan, Speedwagon, and the many officers turned to look.

They saw Dio, who should have been lifeless, standing on the windowsill under the glow of lightning, wearing an evil smile and striking a bizarre, inexplicable pose, before slowly walking toward the people in the living room.

At this moment, all the viewers’ hearts tightened.

Although not as exaggerated as Aizen before, judging by Dio’s current posture, he was no longer human!

"Th-this guy, how is he still alive!?"

Speedwagon shouted in disbelief, then quickly snapped back to reality and yelled at the surrounding officers:

"What are you standing there for? Shoot! Shoot him!!"

However, before the officers could act.

Dio erupted with the speed of a cheetah, tearing several officers to pieces in an instant.

"WRYYYY~"

The eerie wail sounded again.

It made one’s blood run cold.

"Dio, you are no longer human. This is my responsibility; I must put an end to this!"

Looking at his father’s remains, Jonathan felt unprecedented courage, grabbed a decorative spear nearby, and thrust it at Dio, who had now turned into a vampire.

Yet, shockingly, Dio endured the spear Jonathan thrust through his palm, grinning as he shouted:

"Panties! Panties!"

The next second, Dio twisted the spear and broke it, stabbing it into Jonathan’s shoulder.

Jonathan was quickly forced into a desperate situation. At the very last second.

Jonathan chose to overturn the oil lamp, letting the great fire consume the mansion that held his memories, and lured Dio to the roof to bring an end to this ill-fated connection.

"Come! I will never let your power exist in this world!"

"Muda Muda Muda! The one who will die is you, JOJO!"

Dio walked toward the roof amidst the sea of fire as if he were on a runway, one hand on his hip.

Combined with the toned muscles and six-pack Xu Feng had trained for months, it was inexplicably alluring.

[I inexplicably feel that this scumbag Dio is quite charming.]

[Bullshit, you're just lusting after his body.]

[These abs... no wonder he can find so many ex-girlfriends. Can he handle it?]

[Be serious, they're fighting. Why are you posing so alluringly?]

[Haven't you noticed that the characters in this show always suddenly strike inexplicable poses?]

[I’ve discovered that the lines for the character Dio are designed to be too catchy. And this is only two episodes in!]

[It was me, Dio! I reject my humanity! Muda Muda Muda! Panties! WRYYYYYYY!]

[To the person above, why can you send voice messages?]

In the end, the great battle concluded with Jonathan narrowly defeating Dio, but it closed with Dio being reborn through the flames.

When that most iconic ending theme of the JOJO series, the "once this song plays, someone dies or gets hurt" track "Roundabout," began to play alongside the left-pointing "To Be Continued" arrow.

The viewers wore strange expressions.

Because this ending theme and the way it concluded were just too hypnotic.

After the first two episodes ended, many viewers who habitually turned off the bullet comments when binge-watching shows also pressed the toggle to turn them back on.

[To be honest, the plot doesn't really attract me, but I won't be able to forget those lines of Dio's for a while.]

[My head is currently filled with Dio's inexplicable verbal tic.]

[Me too. Now, every time I close my eyes, my mind is filled with his face after he forcibly kissed the heroine and shouted, "It was me, Dio!"]

[Honestly, if this were another director's work, I would give it an 8.5, but because it's Xu Feng, I can only give it a 6.5.]

[The people above are being way too double-standard, right? No matter what, this show shouldn't only be a 6.5, right?]

[Can't help it, who told him to be Xu Feng?]

[...]

Xu Feng's fans and general moviegoers were still able to have a relatively rational discussion.

Most viewers' first impression after finishing these two episodes was basically, "It's a decent story, but if you compare it to 'Bleach,' the gap is obvious," or "It didn't reach the level Xu Feng should have."

This kind of thing happens when your appetite has been spoiled.

As for Xu Feng's haters and business rivals, they were absolutely thrilled, swarming up one after another like hyenas that had caught the scent of meat.

Picking bones out of eggs in every possible way.

And Mr. Wang, from the distribution company of "The Bronze Sparrow Terrace," was even more overjoyed and immediately ordered them to buy marketing to ruthlessly stomp on Xu Feng's new work.

Choosing to release his movie at this time really was the right bet!
