JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 19 – A Cyborg Nazi & Cars


Stroheim is still alive and right now, he is fighting Cars. Can this cyborg Nazi defeat the man who created the Stone Masks? Later in this episode, it's JoJo vs. Cars for the Red Stone of Aja!


Stroheim's return as a powerful Nazi cyborg is... something. Aside from the fact that it looks like he can beat Cars, his body is so heavily modified that it feels like he is a different character with no connection to Joseph in some way! Even with all the upgrades he has, he still can't beat Cars because the man has something in his sleeve that we are not aware of. As it turns out, he has blades revolving around his arm! The mere fact that he has blades that act like teeth in his single blade arm is kinda scary that it is no surprise that Stroheim can't beat him.

The worst part about it is that we learned that Santana is actually the weakest of the Pillar Men! This made me think for a second, if Joseph was able to defeat Santana and ACDC; it's likely that he can beat Cars if he has the perfect chance. Speaking of this perfect chance, thanks to Stroheim's defeat, the Red Stone of Aja that is currently on Stroheim's possession is now on Cars' hands and Stroheim still has one weapon left, his ultraviolet beam in his eyes. Thanks to this, the stone is now sliding down to a cliff and thus, the fight for the Red Stone of Aja begins.


The chase scene between Joseph and Cars is really fun to watch. It is basically two guys trying to outwit each other when it comes to skill. The fight is so unpredictable, especially when they are now falling in the cliff just to get the stone. This is when we once again witness Joseph's rather unique survival tactics and thanks to Caesar being used to Joseph's rather unique survival ideas, and right now, the Red Stone of Aja is back to Joseph's side. As for Cars, for once, we see him so pumped up in facing a human being.

Later, Joseph and co. are now in Switzerland, the place where Cars and Wham are hiding. To be more specific, they are hiding in an old hotel and Caesar suggested that it is time for them to attack. Joseph's decision not to attack in broad daylight makes sense, I mean, we are talking about beings who lived thousands of years and it is likely, they have experienced a couple of attacks that happened in broad daylight. To put it simply, Joseph and co. didn't have any advantage to begin with.


For some reason, Caesar now wants to fight Cars and Wham now. It is understandable because he is a proud Italian and Italians are proud of their heritage. In Caesar's case, part of his heritage as a Zeppeli is the fight that his grandfather began the fight to destroy the Stone Mask. This leads to the brief fight between Joseph and Caesar because Joseph doesn't give a damn about the past and Caesar is offended about it. Both of them make a good point, which ended up with Caesar walking towards the abandoned hotel to face the Pillar Men. The question is can Caesar defeat the Pillar Men all by himself?
