Chapter 194. Three JOJOs Together---
"Eh?"
"Ehhhhh————!!?"
No way!
Things have already gotten this bad, is there even worse o e?!
Just after logging off from 2CH, an angry Cujoh Jolyne had tossed her full-dive helmet to the side. She was now staring bnkly at Pucci, who wore an uneasy expression.
Holy, when she saw [White Snake] dragging everything towards the idea of resolve...
Cujoh Jolyne already had a feeling things were not going to go well for her.
After all, "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" is all about resolve and the "Golden Spirit."
It's about the ce to face fear and, even after fully uanding that fear, having the strength to keep it under trol.
The hymn of humanity is the hymn of ce, and humanity's greatness lies in that ce.
This is the essential, most radiant part of the human soul. It's what makes "Phantom Blood"—even though it's a simple and somewhat clichéd story—so captivating.
It's even the key reason Jonathan and Joseph Joestar always mao overe their enemies.
Now, this "Golden Spirit", passed down through the Joestar family feions, transds time and has been ied by Jotaro. Together, they will plete what Jonathan could not.
And for all of us viewers, who couldn't fulfill rets back then, they will defeat DIO!
Just like the line in the opening song, "Ptinum light cuts through fate."
This "fate" is the destiween the Joestars and DIO, but it's also the absolute prophecy of [Thoth].
Jotaro and the others, who could even break a god's prophecy using their wisdom, resolve, and Stands, are bound to shatter this tury-old curse together!
When [White Snake] revealed this hidde, even Cujoh Jolyne had to admit it made sense... Of course, it was mostly because she couldn't find a reason to refute [White Snake]'s nonsense!
So much so that she almost believed it — that [Khnum] Oingo and [Thoth] Boingo, who wielded the power of fate, were actually just a test.
Only by overing this trial could Jotaro and the others be qualified to face DIO!
In this situation...
It was only natural that Cujoh Jolyne, who had unsciously been led astray by this analysis, would vent her frustration on Pucci.
Not that she was entirely wrong to do so...
But what did Pucci just say?!
Bad news!?
Cujoh Jolyne's first rea was disbelief.
Her sed rea was a glimmer of hope as she looked expetly at Pucci, "Really?"
ht, she had fotten.
It's all [White Snake]'s fault for makihink Pucci was also pying dumb while secretly being a tiger in disguise!
Damn it!
How could Pucci be a tiger?
He's a dragon!
The dragon among dragons, "Hidden Dragon" himself!
Just when Jolyne was about to use this to steady her trembli, Pucci matched her mood perfectly, putting on a sorrowful expression and apologetically said, "President Cujoh, you're right. I am still too young."
"?"
Still waiting to hear what bad news Pucci had, Cujoh Jolyne looked at him in fusion.
Had she said that?
Nht?
And wasn't there supposed to be bad news?
Just get to the point!
Seemingly notig Cujoh Jolyne's impatienaybe he nning to tinue all along, Pucci went on, "When you separated me from Director Shinbo back then, you must have thought that only by leaving the guidance of such a senior could I tio grow."
"When I realized your iion, I felt defiant. I thought you didn't uand and wao prove myself by doing something... but it wasn't until I hit a wall and failed miserably that I realized I was the one who didn't uand anything."
With his head lowered, Pucci's tone became more somber, "I'm sorry, President Cujoh. I wasn't able to recover the costs of eology development with the revenue from "Stardust Crusaders"..."
Though the story of "Stardust Crusaders" hadn't finished airi, much like most seasonal anime in Japan—where one season sts twelve to thirteen episodes, two-cour series st twenty-four to twenty-six episodes, and year-long series st forty-eight to fifty-two episodes—there wasn't a standard for such varied runtimes. It's impossible to expect that year-long series should wait until the entire show finishes airing before selling BD specials to recover costs.
This would not only massively increase the iment pressure on these long-running series...
If a special case like "Kamen Rider" were forced to wait until the entire show aired before selling toys and merdise, who would buy the earlier, basic versions of the toys? Everyone would only want the final forms!
That would be disastrous!
Especially sidering "Kamen Rider" is notorious fettien up in every episode.
If they didn't recoup costs by selling the merdise of the earlier forms before they get trashed, only diehard collectors would want to buy the figures of a stantly defeated hero.
So, in today's industry, whether it's a one-cour series, a two-cour series, a year-long series, or even multi-hundred episode long-running shows, all of them start selling BD specials right after the first season.
And "Stardust Crusaders", now at the Nine Glods arc, is no exception.
That's ucci was talking about.
As a transmigrator, and with Cujoh Jolyne's iment, Pucci had already made plenty of successful films and was rolling in cash.
If that didn't infte his ego, it would've been an insult to his transmigrator status!
He had set his sights on a certain truck driver, thinking that if the truck driver could recover the costs of eology with his works, then he could do the same!
Transmigrators are that fident.
Unfortunately, Pucci fot that the truck driver doesn't always win.
Otherwise, the truck driver wouldn't have bankrupted his own pany.
Pucci, who had barely learo walk but tried to break Usain Bolt's record, naturally failed miserably.
Handing Cujoh Jolyhe test sales report for "Stardust Crusaders", Pucci said dejectedly, "Five me for failing to live up to your trust, President Cujoh. I couldn't use the profits from "Stardust Crusaders" to recover the costs of your iment ieology..."
"?!"
"!!!"
Right, she had ied ieology!
It's all [White Snake]'s fault for rambling about the three JOJOs being together, making her fet about that!
Pig up the report, Jolyill found the sales numbers somewhat exaggerated.
But if it didn't make a profit, it was a loss!
This is...
"Good news!" Jolyne excimed excitedly.
"President Cujoh, how did you know there was good news!?"
"Huh?"
