Chapter 191. Protagonist's Halo?
---
In a certain hidden room...
L was biting his finger, frowning as he watched the se from "Stardust Crusaders".
Like most of the viewers who had e to love the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" series, L found himself captivated by the series and eagerly awaited each episode in his full-dive device.
He, too, had been moved and inspired by Jonathan's golden spirit.
As an Interpol officer looking for a successor to help share the workload, L had a particur fondness for people with such a golden spirit.
If only being an Interpol officer required nothing more than a golden spirit.
Unfortunately, it also required a pitch-bck will.
Had that not been the case, Jonathan might have already received an invitation from him.
Of course, it was equally likely that, after sending out the invitation, it would have been promptly returned by the SPW Foundation's security personnel.
But still...
That didn't stop L from enjoying the story of "Phantom Blood".
If Jonathan and the others had merely given L a favorable impression of "Phantom Blood", then the sed part, "Battle Tendency", was full of surprises!
Joseph, the sed JoJo, although more ing and sly than Jonathan, the first JoJo, came across as more of a rogue than a gentleman.
Yet Joseph, who had not forsaken the golden spirit passed down from his aors, with his slightly lower moral threshold, was better equipped than Jonathan to deal with enemies far strohan himself.
For instahe vampires that had given Jonathan such a hard time, and the Pilr Men, who were even more powerful than the vampires.
Joseph was able to use Ripple, which was far weaker than his oppos' powers, to defeat these formidable enemies!
From that moment on...
L, who had initially watched the series purely to appreciate Jonathan's golden spirit, began to develop a petitive mi.
Especially after "Stardust Crusaders" introduced the and cept.
If one day, a simir case involving superpowered crime were to arise in this world, how could he, an ordinary person with no special abilities, solve it?
Driven by this thought, L became envious of the various strange and uands introduced in "Stardust Crusaders".
That was until he came across a certain book...
—[Thoth].
It didn't possess overwhelmiructive power, nor did it have blinding speed, and being a book, its range was naturally limited.
Its only advantage?
Perhaps it was so weak that it was easier to maintain than any other Stand.
Even ordinary people who weren't Stand users could see it.
Yet, despite being such a seemingly weak book-type Stand on paper, L felt a profound sense of humanity's limitations from it.
For the first time, he realized...
Expanding the range of suspects to include superpowered individuals was not enough.
He would o widen it even further, to include cepts like fate, gods, and other supernatural entities, to truly bring criminals to justice!
Otherwise, it would be like Jotaro and the others now—not even aware that they were utack by an enemy's Stand!
Though in truth, there was no real need for them to be aware...
Because until the end of this episode of "Stardust Crusaders", it seemed as though [Thoth]'s prophecy had never really e to fruition...
No, it wasn't that it didn't happen.
[Thoth]'s prophecies were always correct.
Whether it was Jotaro and his friends iably entering that café and preparing to drink the poisoea, or Jotaro being blown up by a bomb hidden in an e—these events were destio occur.
The only difference was that the process turned out to be pletely trary to Boingo and Oingo's expectations.
After all, as long as [Thoth] didn't draw out the process, the results could be altered.
For instance, during Boingo and Oingo's sed attempt, when [Thoth] predicted that they would successfully assassiaro...
A small mistake in the execution ged the oute—
The e bomb, meant for Jotaro, was intercepted when Joseph and the others discovered Oingo, who had disguised himself with [Khnum].
Since Oingo had transformed into Jotaro, looking and smelling identical to the real Jotaro, the oute foretold by [Thoth] transferred to the disguised Oingo.
He ended up taking Jotaro's pce, suffering the fate of being blown up by the bomb...
"So, the only way to defeat [Thoth] is with the protagonist's halo?"
Clearly.
Although [Thoth], nearly invincible, didn't offer the intense man-to-man battle that [Geb] and N'Doul had, with its unique ability and equally unique downfall...
It still fasated the audience, initially drawn in by the phrase, "Even vilins need saviors."
The viewers couldn't help but be curious.
Or perhaps they simply didn't uand the episode, finding it hard to accept that a seemingly invincible Stand could be defeated in such a ical manner.
This sparked heated debates on forums like 2CH.
Stone Free: "It really seems like Green Dolphin Studio has run out of ideas. First, they design an uable Stand to draw us in, thehey realize it 't actually be dealt with, they go all out and use the protagonist's halo to dumb down the vilins..."
Stone Free: "You already predict that the rest of "Stardust Crusaders" will be just as b."
That's right!
Cujoh Jolyne was definitely fueling the fmes.
Pucci, you did so well! A you still mao screw it up!
Not Wearing It is Really Cool: "That's impossible..."
Stone Free: "Then tell me, did Jotaro and the others use anything other than the protagonist's halo in their fight against [Thoth]?"
Not Wearing It is Really Cool: "..."
Stone Free: "See, you 't say anything! And it wasn't just this fight—Joseph's final battle with Kars in "Battle Tendency" was already showing signs of the protagonist's halo!"
As Jolyne was about to seize the opportunity to make things even worse for "Stardust Crusaders"...
—Ding Dong!
A familiar notification sound rang in Jolyne's ears.
White Snake: "Upstairs, what is said is a bit too extreme."
—White Snake!!!
