I wanna know the name of him who spared me.
Jonathan Joestar.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Drunkard 2 (takes out a knife after seeing his friend get hurt by Dio): Just for that, I'm gonna cut you!
Dio (to drunkard): Ohh. Your threat has been quaking in my boots, you old guttersnipe. How will I escape this mortal peril? How about I use this? (Takes out the mask.) It's for JoJo. But you'll make a nice guinea pig.
Drunkard 2: Just die already!
[Dio plants the mask on the drunkard, using his knife to slit the first drunkard's throat. The mask activates, but ends anti-climatically.]
You've disappointed me, mask.
[Dio is about to leave when the a now-vampirized drunkard attacks him, grabbing Dio by the throat while sucking the blood out of him.]
Drunkard 2: It's odd. I've been drinking through the night, but suddenly I've got such a brutal thirst.
Dio (monolongue while screaming in pain): So this is the power of the Stone Mask?...I have such plans. Must the last thing I see on this world be this damnable sunrise!?
[The vampirized drunkard is reduced to dust to Dio's shock.]
Speedwagon (to Dio): Right about now, you're probably wondering who I am. Allow me to elucidate ya! The name is Robert E. O. Speedwagon! I had a hunch Jonathan's run of trouble might not be done, so I followed him back home. I like you, Jonathan, so I'm gonna offer up this little tidbit pro bono: living in the gutter, you learn to spot lowlifes pretty quick if you want to see tomorrow. I've trained my nose to sort out the bad ones from the good just from a sniff. This fellow reeks of brimstone and blood worse than anyone I've ever laid eyes on!
[Speedwagon kicks a candle which Dio instinctively dodges]
He is PURE EVIL, right down to his very bones! Is he a victim of circumstance, you're wondering? Not on your life! He's been evil since he drew his first breath!
Dioː JoJo, it was hubris that led me to this ignominious end. This fall from grace has taught me a valuable lesson. However one may scheme or assemble, my downfall this night is part of the human condition... A condition that I now forsake.
Wait, forsake? What do you mean?
You see, I am about to become so much more! [Brandishes the Stone Mask] Help me shed this mortal skin!
Mother's mask!
JoJo! Your blood is the key!
[George intercepts the stab wound.]
Oh my god!
FATHER!
[Dio laughs as he puts on the mask while activating it with George's blood while being gunned down by the constables.]
Father, hang on. The Doctor's on his way.
GJGeorge Joestar
JoJo...don't hate Dio for what he's done. I am to blame for this. I was hard on you because you're a Joestar. I went too easy on Dio and he might have felt I didn't care. Perhaps he did this for want of a father's love. Please... See that he's buried...next to Dario...
Father...
GJGeorge Joestar
Don't look so sad, JoJo... Where better to die...than in the arms...of my...son...?
CConstables
Sir Joestar!
HCHead Constable
We lost much this night. A noble man's soul...has been taken from the world.
You're wrong! All that was good in that man, he passed it along to Jonathan, every bit of it! You can be sure JoJo's gonna live an upright life, using what his father gave him. Rich folks are rubbish. Watching 'em flounce around, I wanna throw the whole lot of them into the Thames! But not the Joestars. They're heroic and merciful and, just...the whole damn lot of them are giants among men!
Dio (After getting shot in the head by Speedwagon): JoJo, I should thank you for the source of my newfound power! Your father's blood...and the ancient stone mask! WRRRYY...
Jonathan (watching Dio kill a constable): He takes his very life, but how is that possible! Dio, you villain, what sort of monster have you become?ǃ
[Dio tosses the constable at the others, killing them instantly while knocking Speedwagon down]
UWHOOAH?ǃ
Even Speedwagon is afraid!
Dio (looking for Jonathan, seeing the blood flowing from a curtain): You were a fool to attack me. I have disowned my weakness in favor of life everlasting! You're behind the curtain like Polonius. And like Polonius, it is there that you shall meet your end! (Pulls the curtain, only to be set on fire.)
No one's immortal! Not even you!
Know this, it ends here! You will not leave this place alive!
No! That's lunacy- (Gets backed out of the manor by a backdraft.)
Dio Brando (walking up the wall after Jonathan): Luring me away from the gutter rat? How very noble of you. No matter. I'll drain you dry, and your blood will help me amend from this little adventure. You climb the wall in vain, JoJo. In your haste to flee from me, all you had done is guarantee your doom. You will be consumed tonight, by the inferno below or by me.
Jonathan (thought): Father...Rest in peace. Let the smoke guide your soul to heaven. But first, please lend me your strength one final time. Let the fire burn around you.
[During the fight between Dio and Jonathan in the burning mansion, while Jonathan is clinging to Dio.]
Die for nothing, fool!
[Dio kicks Jonathan away; Jonathan screams as he begins to fall into the flames.]
All I lose is the sacrifice of your blood I would've taken. Blacken and burn among the bones of your damnable father, Jojo! I am a god in all but name! With the powers at my command, I will rule this world! Thank you, brother, for this great boon!
Dio Brando (thought) I crushed his arm bones to splinters and he's already ablaze, but his grip on me is still that of a vice! (Out loud) So be it JoJo! Consign us onto the flame! But, perish knowing that I will survive this moment! For everything you have done, even this inferno cannot devour me!!
FATHEEEEEER! LEND ME YOUR POWER!
[Through luck, Jonathan managed to propel himself out of his burning home while impaling Dio on the statue of Venus as he is horrifically burned alive.]
AAAAHHHHHHH!!! (monologue) HOW COULD A WORM LIKE YOU-!? I-I forgot who I was dealing with! Bloody his nose, and he comes back twice as fierce! (out loud) JOJO!! (monologue) I have such plans for this world!! Such...plans...!!
Jonathan won his fight against that fiend...But he lost a lot. Poor sod. He's been in hospital for three days now... Losing his father and home, he's completely alone in the world now! I want to give him a reason to live! Don't give up on the world, JoJo!...
Spirit! That's what he needs, and I am to give it to him!
It's late at night, but there's a lamp coming from his room. (Looks inside) This is- That woman... I'm surprised a nurse would stay with him so late! Her hands are bruised! She's soothed his burns with ice water hundreds, no, thousands of times!
(Jonathan wakes up.)
Thank goodness...
He's conscious!
The worst is over. You'll be okay now.
Have you... Been taking care of me this whole time? You... I can't believe you're here! I remember... No, you can't be... That's impossible... You look like a girl I used to know...
Nurse: Her name wouldn't be by chance Erina Pendleton, would it? It has been a long time, Jonathan Joestar.... JoJo.
Erina! You've grown!
Me? Not as much as you. But... (gets teary) It really has been so long...
[Speedwagon takes his leave]
She makes a better Florence Nightingale than I do, anyhow. You rest up, JoJo. Speedwagon withdraws coolly.
Jack the Ripper (killing a harlot he lured to murder): Shoulda made an early night about it, harlot! Big mistake!
Most men's hearts are restrained by mortal, recoiling in fear from the fabulous fruits of evil. But some do not constrain themselves to the mortality and its tyranny. They are the Vanguard. Serve me, Jack the Ripper. Submit yourself to me, and I shall give powers beyond your belief. I ask for only one thing in return.
He's been watching us for a while now.
Is something wrong?
Oh, noth—
Signor Joestar, I presume? And the lass by your side must be Signora Erina Pendleton.
Who are you!?
You survived the Stone Mask! Not many can claim that!
[He hits Jonathan in the stomach, causing him to kneel over.]
JoJo!
That's it... Breathe out every last ounce of air in your lungs!
Why? He was wounded already, you cad!
stranger: I knocked the wind out of him, but he'll thank me for it.
Jonathan (while his body full heals): What!? What's happening to my body!? My arm!
Baron Zeppeli, at your service. Courage alone will not defeat the stone mask.
The compound fracture in my arm... it barely hurts anymore! I can even lift this heavy rock!
I can't believe it!
What did you do!? Who... No, what are you!?
One question at a time, JoJo. It's nothing I did. Your breath quelled your pain on its own. Achoo!
Why did you do this!? How do you even know my- (Zepelli is no where to be seen) He's gone.
What part of "one question at a time" eluded you? Follow me, amigo, and I shall show you. But know this, what you are about to see will change your destiny forever!
