Chapter 92. Old Joseph: This Isn't My Fault!
---
It must be said that Caesar's accumuted rese was immense.
Or rather, ing Jonathan's death in "Phantom Blood," even though Pucd the others have doheir best to expin it, eg the story's plot with its core and vividly portraying the relentless struggle against fate simir to "The Old Man and the Sea," Jonathan's sacrifice was no longer depicted merely as a tragic youth spent with DIO, an almost fatalistic meaning.
Instead, it transformed into a different kind of unyielding struggle, akin to the Ripple energy emanating from their bodies, a relentless challenge against fate!
But that didn't ge the fact of Jonathan's death, did it?
Grievance doesn't dissipate just because it is superficially accepted. On the trary, it tio build up inside, waiting for a spark to ig.
Therefore, naturally, before Pucd the others could do anything about the filming of this se, Caesar, uo el his accumuted emotions into something else, directed his aoward Joseph.
He took the question of why Jonathan had to die and the memories from his character tempte and turhem into verbal taunts—"You 't evehis little girl"—attag Joseph with a series of moves involving a Ripple-pirl, including choking and leg-breaking strikes!
And against Joseph, who, despite not being familiar with Ripple's weaknesses and g any precautions, was defiant, Caesar issued his final warning:
"—Secret Art! Ripple Bubble Launcher!!"
"On my gloves and clothes, every part is prepared with special soap solution to create bubbles!"
"After receiving this attack, go back to the tryside, Joestar!!"
With a cp of his hands, Caesar unleashed tless bubbles from his hands, showg his meticulously practiced ultimate teique.
He fidently expined.
Yes, expined.
He aimed to crush Joseph's st shred of pride, making him admit defeat!
So even if Caesar revealed the principle behind his teique, Joseph couldn't possibly figure out how to ter it!
Because the essence of the Ripple Bubble Launcher was he special soap solution.
It was the superb trol required to mahe bubbles created by this soap solution, ensuring they remained intact while being filled with Ripple energy, and the absolute trol over the movement and attack of these numerous bubbles.
This was beyond Joseph, who only uood Ripple instinctively and used it based on his intuition!
With Joseph's current level, he would need several decades of training before handling such matters!
In an instant, Caesar's Bubble Launcher, filled with his anger and disdain, surrounded Joseph.
And while Joseph was already battered and particurly targeted in some areas, he was bombarded once again with these relentless, Ripple-powered bubbles!
At this point, even those less experiehan Akiyuki Shinbo could clearly see that Caesar was beating Joseph mercilessly.
He aimed to utterly crush and shatter Joseph's body and spirit without mercy!
versely, Pucd the others, this se through the full-dive device, remained uned.
Despite Joseph's evident disadva only firmed the intense sense of crisis and oppression in their frontation with Caesar.
Just like in "Ultraman Tiga," if Tiga had not been turned bato a statue by Gatanothor, how could the se where all the children's light gathered evoke such transdent brillian the children watg at home?
This se was simirly signifit for Pucd the crew.
Rising tension after initial suppression.
A creative method known to anyone who has attended elementary school.
Moreover, wasn't the hope of Joseph's victory always in his hands?
"Hmph, you didn't even faint from the Bubble Launcher? I must give you some credit for that."
Unaware of this detail and only seeing Joseph's miserable state, Caesar indifferently remarked, "But with your Ripple, you 't possibly break my Bubble Barrier!"
"And look, your breathing is already disordered. Just stay inside and suffer a bit!"
Even if Joseph's breathing wasn't yet chaoti ck of oxygen, it didn't affect Caesar.
As he said, Joseph's Ripple was ie.
Not only was his trol poor, but his breathing teique was also substandard.
From Joseph's appearance, Caesar kly what level he was at.
Is this what the Joestar family is like?!
With this thought fshing through his mind and Caesar's subscious, ed in an unexpined anger, deg to extend Joseph's fi a little longer, he wanted him to fully experiehis gradual asphyxiation and helpless struggle.
If the Bubble Launcher really was fwless...
"You'll say—'Miss, I'm going to lift the Ripple magi you.'"
Unlike Caesar's imagined panic, Joseph, who saw Caesar's true colors exposed, fidently smiled.
Because in the moment—
"e on, Miss, I'm going to lift the Ripple magi you... What!?"
A pigeon emerged from the mouth of the passerby girl!?
As Caesar leaned in to kiss the girl's lips, she preemptively made tact with him, disrupting his breathing and also dispelling the Ripple energy attached to the bubbles!
Joseph, who terattacked under Caesar's taunt "You 't evehis little girl," pleted his earlier promise with a victorious smile.
"I'll say it again—'You 't evehis pigeon!'" Joseph said.
"....."
…
Oher side.
Jotaro Kujo and the others had also arrived in Japan from America.
Under... police escort...
"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't my fault, okay?" Looking at Jotaro Kujo and the others' shifting gazes, old Joseph protested, "It's pletely the fault of that person named 'Shinichi Kudo' who was on the same pne as us!"
