JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 25 – Birth of the Ultimate Lifeform!!


Cars has finally achieved immortality, no he achieved more than that, and he became an ultimate being with full control on the abilities of every living being! Can Joseph, Stroheim and the rest of the German army stop this creature?


Before talking about the actual episode, there is one thing I noticed about the show's opening sequence. They added some cool sound effects and I really like it! It makes the opening sequence feel more alive. According to what I read online, the sound effects are included in the Blu-ray editions of the anime. Now that I am done talking about it, let's talk about Cars.

Like I said earlier, he has full control on every lifeform and its abilities, and even replicate some of them. As see in this episode, he can turn his own hand into a squirrel... and have it eat everything that stands in its path! It's so bizarrely awesome and it is just the beginning because later in the episode, we have a giant octopus in a plane and my personal favorite, piranhas in the plane. It's so bizarrely awesome that there are times that I can't help but laugh at it! Okay, the squirrel scene is also funny because it killed a couple of Germans along the way, but piranhas on a plane? That's way better than a cute squirrel killing some Germans.


Back to Cars, because he achieved immortality, the sun can't kill him, and as expected, Joseph obviously went with his usual plan B... to run away. Stay classy Joseph. Anyway, he is obviously thinking of a plan but the biggest surprise is Cars transforming his body into a creature that can fly just to chase Joseph! After much running, he finally has a plan, which is basically hi-jack a German plane and pilot it... you know, so that he can run away from Cars and think of a better plan while at it. This is around the time Cars used some animal shells to protect him from the bullets being shot by Joseph, which will later lead to piranhas in the plan, which is seriously entertaining to watch.

This scene showed us that Cars can control everything he created even if he is miles away from his creations. But before that piranha scene, Joseph was able to come up with a plan to defeat Cars, by leading him to Vulcano Island and kill him with magma... then the piranha scene happened before Speedwagon can reveal via radio that Lisa Lisa is his mom. It is also because of the piranhas that Joseph found a way to lure Cars into his plan in sending Cars in a volcano filled with piping hot magma. This scene also made Joseph realized that he is indeed a true Joestar, a man who is willing to risk his life to save the world.


But before Joseph can ram Cars in the magma, Cars plans to shift the direction of the plane and this is when Stroheim stole the scene with a rocket punch on Cars, preventing him with his plan! And so, Cars is now in taking a bath in piping hot magma, while as for Joseph and Stroheim, they were able to leave the plane, causing Stroheim to lose his legs. But hey, he is a cyborg created by glorious Nazi science, they can fix him.
