Chapter 70. Grandfather's Kindness and Granddaughter's Filial Piety
---
"Battle Tendency" does ne meaningless plotlines.
Even the expnations inal settings on in the sed part and the introdus of main characters from the first part...
In "Battle Tendency", these elements bee somewhat mysterious and iing through a sequence of stories.
The iions with Smokey not only highlight Joseph and the Joestar family's kind nature by trasting it with Ameri racial prejudice but also allow viewers to uand their ges over the decades through Smokey's perspective.
Through this well-crafted arra, the narrative cleverly allows the characters expl ruins in Mexid Joseph, waiting for Speedwagon in the U.S., to intersect through events triggered by Smokey's skin color.
These events lead to Joseph showing his Ripple Energy characteristics, enabling Speedwagon's acquaintao meet Joseph and inform him of Speedwagon's unfortunate demise.
Given Speedwagon's character, it's clear that the SPW Foundatioablished, without any desdants, would be left to Joseph to i.
For those who retly had a minor flict with Joseph due to Smokey, offending a major financial glomerate's future heir is akin to offending the future etric Ameri president!
Of course, using this o terbahe previous misuanding was necessary!
Although such misuandings would not bother the Joestar family.
So, when Joseph saerson...
He could be so certain!
That person was...!!
"That, I feel like I've seen you somewhere, but also as if I haven't?"
After finishing a discussion with Smokey about whether the AA cup could be turned into a C cup, Joseph, with a familiar tone, approached that person.
He asked, with a tone full of "doubt," "Hey, why isn't there any white steam ing out of your mouth despite the cold weather?"
"And also, I seemed to have seen sharp teeth in your mouth for a moment, or maybe I didn't..."
With these words, Joseph successfully dreerson's attention and mao keep Smokey in a retively safe pce.
Joseph's inally nont expression instantly turned into an angry and grim shout: "Stop pying dumb, you bastard!!"
That's right, no mistake!
This person was a vampire!
He was the vampire who killed Speedwagon and turned into a vampire, Straizo!!
"Hehe."
Straizo, who had pletely overe the embarrassment of being unreized and had acquired the power he had longed fhed fidently: "Even if we're oreet, it doesn't matter."
"JOJO, I'm taking your life! Before your [abilities] are revealed!!"
What kind of creature is a vampire?
Joseph, who had heard stories about his grandfather from Grandma Erina since he was young, didn't have a clear uanding.
He only khat vampires had strong physiques, excellent recovery abilities, and could tio act even with just a head... simir to abilities in ics.
But now.
When he saw a real vampire, Joseph discovered a new characteristic of vampires!
A trait that instantly boosted his fidence!
"Oh ho, is that so?" Joseph also ughed.
"!?"
That is!!?
Has it been discovered?
Or rather, it's surprising that only now it's discovered that vampires are... really messed up in the head!
Before Straizo could act, Joseph pulled the trigger first!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang ————!!
The tinuous gunfire and the king sound of spent shells falling to the ground came from Joseph's Thompson submae gun, also known as the Chicago Typewriter, which he had pulled out from who-knows-where!
Mark it, the rhythm of blood!
This ecially used with the Thompson submae gun —
— Thompson Overdrive!!
Uo perceive Joseph's true iion.
It wasn't the series of questio to attract his attention.
And it wasn't to keep Smokey safe from the battle through these questions.
In fact, if he were to do that, how could it only be about using the pretense of talking to ge his positioive to Straizo?
His true goal, from start to finish, was only one —
Not w that Straizo might take Smokey as a hostage.
But w that he might actally kill i bystanders around him!
So he o find the right angle.
An ahat could allow Straizo to be hit by a downpour of bullets like a rag turned into a plug!
"Straizo, I've been waiting for you to e find me! I don't think this level of attack is enough to finish you…"
Joseph hated trouble.
Especially dealing with troublesome creatures like vampires.
But...
In trast to the grand act of pulling out the Thompson submae gun and sweeping it around the street,
Joseph, with tears in his eyes, shouted at Straizo, who was lying dowen by the bullets: "But now it's payback time for what you did to Mr. Speedwagon!"
"This is war!!"
So...
<-- To Be tinued
The gentle prelude of "Roundabout" rose slowly in the audience's ears.
Signaling the end of "Battle Tendency"'s first episode.
"Not! It ended just like this!?"
"What about ? What about my uping highlights? Why don't you tio py them!"
Joseph, aiting to show his prowess in "Battle Tendency", muttered in dissatisfa: "You're making it seem like I'm using modern ons to bully Straizo, this old relic!"
"Clearly, I could have used Ripple Overdrive to avenge Mr. Speedwagon!"
You should know that Joseph would only win against enemies honorably! (sarcasm)
"Yeah, it ended so quickly, it's really a pity."
Simirly, Jotaro Kujo, who initially po watch Joseph make a fool of himself, also expressed regret.
This kind of warm and affeate feeling truly had a sense of grandfather's kindness and granddaughter's filial piety.
