  Chapter 83. Stand

  ---

  "Although I had this premonition when reviewing the "Battle Tendency" script..."

  "As the BOSS of the sed part, the Pilr Men are likely much strohan the vampires, but... isn't this just too powerful?!"

  Looking at the footage broadcast through the full-dive device, Akiyuki Shinbo excimed.

  If Joseph's battle with Straizo was a csh between intelled strength, where each step had to be perfectly executed for Joseph to achieve victainst Straizo, then...

  Santana, who was discovered in a Mexi ruin and ter resurrected by the German army, named after the 'hot wind blowing over Mexico,' exhibited only pure strength in his battle against the vampires created and trolled by the German army.

  It was an unmatched species suppression!

  And most importantly, Joseph's victory over Straizo was not only due to the Ripple's effectiveness against vampires but also because, with the adva of teology, on power had been tinually increased through successive wars.

  Although Ripple's limitatiohat steel objects must be held by Ripple warriors to effectively transmit Ripple, bullets, for instance, lose Ripple when they leave the gun.

  No matter how powerful they are, they won't affect vampires at all.

  However, vampire life energy isn't infinite. Each time they restore their bodies, they e their stored life energy.

  As long as it tio be ed, even vampires will experience signifit deterioration of their bodily funs, leading to 'aging' where they 't trol their bodies.

  In other words, rge amounts of firearms effectively 'cut through' vampires without the need for the kind of physical prowess that allowed DIO's vampires to pletely disregard firearms.

  Therefore, o became clear that the Pilr Men's wisdom and abilities were beyond what Germany could trol, Stroheim had ation in the use of firearms to eliminate Santana.

  With an unending barrage of bullets, they aimed to deplete Santana's life energy.

  But what was the result?

  Utterly useless!

  At least with the armament avaible at the Mexi German base, they truly had no way to deal with Santana.

  They could only watch him kill in the crowd.

  This was also what amazed Akiyuki Shinbo after watg the sample footage.

  The script's description was still too servative.

  This wasn't just a rept for vampires.

  This was invincibility!

  And acc to the strength set for Santana in the "Battle Tendency" script, within the Pilr Men group, Santana could even be sidered a baby!?

  Isn't this just numerical inftion?

  Even though Pilr Men, as creators of the Stone Mask, should logically be superior to the vampires created by it, as the main enemy in the sed part of the series, the Pilr Men should indeed be more formidable in some aspects pared to vampires to support the story of the sed part.

  Just like in RPG adventure games, where a hero doesn't immediately enter the final boss upon leaving the novice vilge but rather faces slimes first.

  But the situation in "Battle Tendency" is like fag the Four Demon Kings immediately after defeating slimes!

  "Supervisor Pucci, are you sure we want to film it this way?"

  After repeatedly reviewing the script and digging through his industry experience, Akiyuki Shinbo couldn't help but ask Pucci: " Ripple warriors really keep up with the growth speed of the antagonists?"

  "Even though I know that ier parts of the story, Joseph and the others will learn more refined Ripple teiques, no matter how much Ripple is enhanced, in essence, Ripple, which materializes as life energy, 't ultimately defeat a perfect being."

  "Isn't this what you, Supervisor Pucci, also believe, and that's why you wrote such a script?"

  Akiyuki Shinbo had seen the final showdown and its oute in the "Battle Tendency" script.

  And precisely because of this,

  He couldn't help but admire Pucci's imagination.

  To e up with a method to defeat a perfect being who seemed almost invincible!

  However, "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" has a total of six parts.

  Or rather, at least six parts.

  This is itself aer egg buried in the OP of "Phantom Blood".

  In other words, once "Battle Tendency" reveals that the Pilr Mehe masterminds behind the Stone Mask and exposes why they created it,

  The story of "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" has essentially already cluded.

  At least all the apparent foreshadowing has been ed up.

  Even if filmio tinue,

  With the perfect being as the pinnacle and Ripple's ever-evolving teiques under Joseph's breakthroughs…

  It's not that Akiyuki Shinbo doesn't trust Pucci.

  But the fact is, "Battle Tendency" is the ceiling for this entire series.

  It 't be that after the third part es out, the perfect beings would bee as easily defeated as the vampires in the sed part, right?

  So Akiyuki Shinbo wao advise Pucci to resider.

  The ideas of Pilr Men and perfect beings are truly excellent.

  They could pletely mold Santana into the ultimate BOSS of "Battle Tendency".

  While Kars and the others, along with the perfect beings, could be saved for the third part.

  "Just like with the story pace of "Phantom Blood"... Shinbo, is this what you think?"

  Uanding Akiyuki Shinbo's s and realizing that what Shinbo said was irue—that "Battle Tendency" was a work that pushed Ripple to its limits—Pucci, with a slightly reassuring expression, said: "Even though you've been in the industry for so many years, how e you still haven't seen it as clearly as President Cujoh?"

  Handing over the urgent email from Jolyne Cujoh to Akiyuki Shinbo, Pucci smiled at his shocked expression: "Sihe Ripple path has been taken to its utmost, why not abandon this path and choose a different one?"

  "A path with no visible limits!"

  "I call it—Stand!"
