Stylin' on you~!
Joseph and Caesar must face their final test with the Ripple. Caesar's test is going on smoothly while as for Joseph, he ends up facing ACDC because his master is dead. Can Joseph defeat ACDC once and for all?
But before talking about the battle between Joseph and ACDC, we also learned the history behind the Stone Mask and why Cars, ACDC and Wham are looking for the Red Stone of Aja. The quick history lesson also gave us an idea why Cars created the Stone Mask; it is for them to acquire immortality. Granted, they are immortal beings but they want to seek something greater than immortality, something that can turn them into immortal beings. It intrigues me that they only way to achieve it is with the Stone Mask. With that in mind, I am a bit intrigued on what will happen to a vampire once s/he wears the Stone Mask for the second time.
This is when the Red Stone of Aja comes in; the stone has the ability to refract light millions of times. This is when we learned that there is more than a single Red Stone of Aja. This made me ask, why the heck they are seeking for a single stone once owned by a Roman emperor? It makes sense when they explained that the stone they have is not perfect enough to crush their brains that can help them turn into ultimate beings.
Much to Joseph and Caesar's surprise, Lisa Lisa owns the perfect Red Stone of Aja, which you can call a Super Aja. This is when Joseph pointed out that they can just destroy the stone to end this once and for all. But for some reason, Lisa Lisa doesn't want to destroy the stone because of an old legend. This caused me to become a bit bothered, I mean it's an old legend! But hey, it is best to stay on the safe side when it comes to this mystical ancient science stuff in regards to the Stone Mask and stuff related to it.
Before going to Joseph's fight, Caesar's fight is quite brief and there is nothing worth talking about it. So let's proceed to Joseph's fight against ACDC. The fight is seriously amazing. We see how Joseph improved when it comes to the use of the Ripple. Aside from this improvement and how he applied his knowledge about the Art of War, we saw him do tricks that until now, I still can't believe that he can pull it! But hey, this is Joseph we are talking here; the guy basically pulled a Tommy gun out of thin air one time just to kill a vampire!
During the fight, ACDC lost his arm and saw him cry like a little girl. To be honest, that scene scared me. It scared me because I saw a fully grown man cry like he is a little girl then all of a sudden; he calms down and acts like he didn't cry at all! After grabbing an arm coming from Messina's dead corpse, we learn more that he is also aware of the Art of War and even applies it their battle!
This is when we saw the Blazing ACDC and boy, his skill kinda creeps me out for the fact that he has tendrils coming out of his body and releases blood coming from these tendrils and burns Joseph's body with it! It feels like it came straight on some tentacle monster movie! To make it a bit worse, ACDC first targeted Joseph's mouth but thankfully, his breathing mask saved him from this rather crazy kind of slow death. And with that, Joseph is on great trouble and it seems that he is running out of ideas to defeat ACDC, which leads us to the use of yet another string related move.
His latest string move is not as crazy as the first one but it is not as effective as the first one for the reason that ACDC figured it out. Running out of options now that ACDC will attack him with some blazing attack, we saw Joseph pull probably, one the greatest tricks he did in this series. To be honest, I didn't expect that he will use sleight of hand, a bit of acting and most importantly, timing just to defeat ACDC. Once again, this scene showed us why Joseph is my favorite JoJo; he knows how to turn a disadvantage into his own advantage.
Now that he got ACDC to where he wants him to be, he finally performs the finishing move, completely evaporating ACDC in the process... that's what he thought. After drinking the antidote for one of the rings, we saw one creepy sight, ACDC still lives, well to be more specific, his brain still lives and is clinging on Joseph's back. Guess the battle between Joseph and ACDC will still continue next episode.
