Chapter 57. DIO and the Sea
---
A great fire.
It brought forth a vampire capable of threatening the entire world.
And corresponding to this vampire, a Ripple warrior.
Simirly, it was this very fire that buried them, who possessed powers beyond the world, once again in the roasti of this fire, beh the Atntic O.
If this is their fate.
Then JOJO would willingly choose to accept this fate.
It is not that fate is invincible or absolute.
Rather, this fate itself is the ohey most wao achieve.
Mr. Zeppeli probably thought the same way.
Looking at the tearful Erina, and the baby in her arms who survived on this ship, now a of undead, because her mother protected her with her life.
From them, JOJO seemed to see his own mother, who protected his birth in the same way.
He could almost uand the legacy that Mr. Zeppeli had passed down to him.
Old life will eventually fade, and new life will be born.
Is there anything in this world more beautiful and worth proteg than this?
My career is withret!
But only JOJO feels surets.
"Wait, wait! Wait a moment, JOJO!"
"Let me go, and think about it calmly again!"
No matter how cautious.
Even though DIO's attitude towards JOJO had bee as cautious as Sima Yi fag Zhuge Liang, running away even from ay city or a wooden puppet.
Even though JOJO was already uo breathe or use Ripple, when DIO saw JOJO still taking an attag stance, he still screamed anxiously for his uo run away quickly, how could it be otherwise?
The power of vampires and undead only made their caution superficial.
After all, no one fears the bread they are about to eat.
Thus, JOJO successfully trolled the uhat even Ripple could not eliminate, using his frail Ripple to restrain the uhat ignored DIO's advid tio attack.
Using the undead's power to manually secure the ship's transmission shaft, preventing the accumuted steam and pressure from the steam boiler from being released and causing an internal explosion.
And successfully making DIO, who was awakened by the explosion and realized that if the ship exploded and shattered, he would be left in the vast o without any shelter from the sun, wait for death to e.
At the moment DIO impulsively attacked.
JOJO seized the opportunity to tightly bind his head to his chest.
"You're relut to part with Erina tht?"
"And I heal your wound, so you live forever with Erina! JOJO! ... JOJO!?"
That's right, DIO would never accept this fate!
Even though he had obtaiernal life.
And was about to gain the best body in the world!
How could he accept the fate of dying like this?
Whether by temptation or deception, he must live forever!
But JOJO, this guy...
"This guy... is already dead...!?"
DIO's st hope.
Came with JOJO's body being increasingly stiff and solid, leading to the deepest despair.
-- February 7, 1889, Jonathaar, dead.
Just like these seemingly epitaph-like characters were presented along with the increasingly bd-white images before the audiehe feeling rising from the depths of their hearts was.
JOJO was dead.
Just as Zeppeli passed this hope to JOJO.
JOJO also passed this hope to others, to face his owh.
But the plot of Zeppeli's death was slightly different.
If the plot handling Zeppeli's death was strained by the tight narrative, whether it was Zeppeli's ce fag death or JOJO surrounded by Ripple using the Ripple that merged with Zeppeli to evaporate Tarkus.
Pucd the team could only highlight these ses to pensate for the narrative shortings.
In this episode.
Pucd the team, having ample time, id the groundwork for this final oute from the moment the title appeared.
Not only was there the plot in the inal story where DIO was still alive and preparing to ambush JOJO after being challenged.
But there were also elements not in the inal plot...
For instao fit JOJO's final life energy beiirely verted into Ripple.
JOJO, who exhausted his st Ripple, had his orong and robust body now aged and weakened, just like Zeppeli.
With white hair and withered skin.
But even though JOJO had turned into su old man, even though JOJO, now with no life, was left with nothing, Erina still loved him.
Everything was like the initial vow, that regardless of future wealth or poverty, health or illness, she would always be with him, unwavering until death.
From this most essential vow, came the most essential love.
Even if JOJO and Erina's time together in "Phantom Blood" might not exceed five minutes, how could they suddenly plete their love story with marriage?
At this moment!
Uhis kiss between Erina and JOJO!
It was as if no love story could surpass theirs!
And how much did Pucci add to these ges?
The answer is: a lot.
Just like the final battle between JOJO and DIO.
It borrowed the same framework and unique directorial style of Akiyuki Shinbo, and in this episode, Pucci successfully portrayed how a former herled to survive.
In trast, even so, JOJO still dragged his life-drained, aging body to use all his strength to shield Erina from the shrapnel of the steam engine explosion.
Risking his life to tightly hold DIO's head, leaving hope for Erina and the others.
-- One be knocked down, but not defeated.
Pucci, embedding tless references from previous works and famous ses with this spiritual core.
His re-created "Phantom Blood."
Gave the viewers not just a short nine-episode story.
But a grand and fiery legendary tale as if witnessing another world's history.
It also made all the viewers who saw this ending.
Explode pletely along with that ship.
