Chapter 209. Kujo Jotaro Decides to Smash Everything

←—To Be tinued
"..."
"...!?"
When humans enter something they ot uand, their first rea is not to scream.
Instead, they freeze.
Just like in "A ese Odyssey", where the voice-over said: "At that moment, the sword was only 0.01 timeters from my throat, but a quarter of an inse stick's time ter, the woman holding the sword would fall pletely in love with me, because I had decided to tell a lie. Although I had told tless lies in my life, I believed this one would be the most perfect..."
Leaving aside the tent of those words, if we examihe rea itself, we see that even in life-threatening situations like having a sword poi them, the human brain's first response is not to scream but to freeze, f a still image before slowly reag to what is happening.
Simirly, when they watched "Stardust Crusaders", seeing Polnareff on the verge of being ed by [Cream] and notig the half-heart-shaped earring falling from his ear just like Avdol's arm did, Kujo Jotaro and the others, who were watg this se with Pucci, only snapped back to their senses after the s transitioo the familiar "←—To Be tinued" ending.
And then...
—BOOM!!
Along with the sudden, explosive surge of bullet ents, their emotions also erupted like a ic explosion!
"Director Pucci... This, this is..." Kakyoin Noriaki's voice sounded broken.
"As you see, this is what I wao show you—fag death with ce," Pucci said. "Just as Polnareff mentioned, when fag a Stand user with a tricky and seemingly invincible ability, you only have three options:"
"First, the ever-dashing Polnareff es up with a brilliant teratta."
"Sed, your rades arrive to support you."
"Third, there's no escape, ay is cruel."
Because they had retly watched the test episode of "Stardust Crusaders", the three options Polnareff was pting in his mind as he was ered by [Cream] were the same three methods Puow expio Jotaro and the others.
These words, takeim from the episode, weren't difficult for them to uand. In fact, given Polnareff's personal experiehey immediately grasped the meaning behind them.
And fell silent.
If they could choose, they would definitely want to pick the first or sed option. But is it really possible to always e up with a way to defeat the enemy whenever you enter a new foe?
Though they had done just that in "Stardust Crusaders" before. For instahe Fool] and Iggy vely tered [Geb] and N'Doul.
The invincible Stand ability [Thoth], capable of absolute prophecy, artnered with a weak Stand user who overly relied on its power, leading to plete fusion when something ued happehat wasn't foreseen in [Thoth]'s prophecy book, making Oingo even start to doubt the prophecy itself.
But the clever terattack is always based on the fact that the ehey entered had weakhat could be exploited.
When faced with a Stand user like Vanil Ice, whose [Cream] not only had immense power but also a strong resolve, the first method simply wasn't an option.
Just like Polnareff, after a brief sideration, and having exhausted all the methods he could think of, finally pinned his hopes on the sed option, hoping that Jotaro and the others would show up in the nick of time to save him and Iggy...
But the problem with relying on rades is that they might be relying on you, too.
After all, the person entering the enemy isn't always just you.
So most of the time, they only choose the third option.
This was the real message Pucci was giving to Kujo Jotaro.
And he reparing Jotaro for it in advance.
However...
"[Cream], is this Stand ability simir to [Osiris] and [Atum]? Will the dark space ected to [Cream] disappear o is defeated?" Kujo Jotaro was more ed about something else.
"Unfortunately, no," Pucci, who uood why Jotaro was asking, revealed holy, "Even [Osiris] and [Atum] only lose their Stand abilities because they merely extract souls. The bodies of those whose souls are extracted remain unharmed, so ohe Stand abilities are deactivated, their souls return to their bodies."
"But as Vanil Ice said, the true form of [Cream] isn't the act of ing objects. It's ected to a dark space that even he doesn't fully uand, and it sends things into that space. Defeating [Cream] would merely sever the e, not return the objects that were sent in."
"How could this be?"
Joseph Joestar, who had been lurking on the relevant forums and knew what the fans hoped for, as well as having his own hopes, finally spoke up. "Then Avdol, he...!?"
"Yes, he's firmed dead," Pucci replied.
"...I see. Uood," Kujo Jotaro said after a moment of silence.
"Hey! Jotaro, do you really uand? This is..." Joseph began.
"You're too loud, old man!" Jotaro interrupted Joseph, then turo Pucci, "Although I don't want to hear about your crap philosophy of fag death with ce, ohing is for sure—DIO and his crew are the vilins, and as the protagonist, I'm going to beat them down hard in the se, right?"
"Yes, that's true," Puodded.
"Then there's no problem. I already kly what I'm supposed to do in this shoot!"
That's right!
What ce in the face of death?
Kujo Jotaro only had ohing to do—
Before anyone has the ce to calmly face death, he'll beat DIO and his followers down!
As for the script?
This is his Kujo Jotaro's script!
"Uh... this is awkward, but Mr. Joestar, Jotaro, I'm still here, you know!" Avdol, who had been watg "Stardust Crusaders" with Pucd the others, spoke up with an awkward expression. "Stop ag like I'm actually dead!"
