Chapter 245: [245] JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Premieres! (7)
Chapter 245: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Premieres! (7)
Witnessing Jonathan's fury in the movie, the audience's emotions were also stirred up.
At this moment, under the influence of the plot, all the viewers quickly became agitated, waving their fists, wishing they could personally beat up the villainous Dio.
At the same time, Jonathan pushed open the mansion door and roared:
"Dio!"
Upon JoJo's arrival, Dio stood up from his seat with his usual confidence and arrogance, exclaiming:
"JoJo, you sure are quick to call out others' names!"
Ignoring this, Jonathan charged forward, swinging his fist, and shouted:
"Dio, I will never forgive you, not because you deliberately picked on me, but for what you did to dear Erina. How about it? Want to take revenge on me with your fists?"
"Bastard, I will never allow you to insult her again!"
"Hmph, your jealous rage looks utterly pathetic."
As he spoke, Dio decisively countered Jonathan's charge with an elbow strike, nearly smashing the young man's nose and causing blood to flow.
"Hmph, do you want to end up like you did in the boxing match again? Fool!"
Knocked back by Dio's punch, Jonathan felt as if all his strength had drained away.
However, the thought of Erina's tears and Dio's shadow-like presence reignited a surge of power within him, and he desperately struggled to his feet!
Seeing this, Dio confidently removed his coat and declared:
"Come on, let me defeat you fair and square! Then you'll understand that you can never overcome me, Dio. I'll make sure you remember with your body, whether it's in a fight or in life!"
Ignoring Dio's taunts completely, Jonathan charged forward with his fist raised high.
In the next instant, the two clashed once again, and unsurprisingly, Jonathan was kicked away by Dio, looking utterly disheveled.
"Not bad, this feels really good!"
Just as a smile began to form on Dio's face, he was caught off guard as Jonathan grabbed his face and headbutted him with full force!
"Bang!"
Amidst the splatter of blood, Jonathan relentlessly swung his fists, punch after punch, striking Dio's face with all his might!
"Dio, I won't stop until I beat you to tears!!!"
Under Jonathan's fierce assault, Dio was nearly beaten to a pulp, and soon, tears actually streamed down his face as he roared in humiliation:
"JoJo, how dare you, how dare you treat me like this?!"
As he spoke, Dio pulled out a dagger from behind, intending to stab Jonathan, but to his surprise, Sir Joestar suddenly appeared, startling both of them into stopping.
With Sir Joestar's intervention, the conflict was barely brought to an end.
Unnoticed by anyone present, the eerie mask on the wall, having been stained by Dio's blood that was splattered during the fight, suddenly began to change.
The next day, Jonathan caught a distant glimpse of Erina but didn't dare to approach her. When he returned home, he was devastated to learn that his beloved dog, Danny, had been thrown into the furnace and burned to death.
In his grief and anger, Jonathan transformed his pain into resolve, determined to become a true man.
In contrast, Dio also learned a lesson from this incident, deciding to be less reckless in the future and to better control his emotions.
Thus, the spiral of fate between the two officially began.
...
The first segment of the movie has concluded.
After watching this part, the overwhelming sentiment among most viewers is why Jonathan didn't just kill that despicable Dio outright.
After all, Dio's actions have clearly crossed the line of what ordinary people can tolerate. If someone like Dio were encountered in real life, he would likely have been beaten to the point where grass on his grave grew two meters tall, and people would spit on it as they passed by.
Of course, aside from the plot, many viewers also noticed the Stone Mask that stole the spotlight twice.
Such a bizarre and eerie prop is hard to ignore, and even viewers unfamiliar with the story can tell that it must serve some significant purpose.
"I really wonder how the movie will unfold from here, and if only Jonathan had just killed Dio outright."
"Well, if Dio died, the movie would probably end right there. After all, Dio is clearly a key character in this film."
"Although this character is portrayed as extremely detestable, there's an oddly fascinating charm to him. Of course, right now, I feel more like punching him than admiring his charm."
"In contrast, Jonathan might not be as skilled, but his kind and righteous nature makes him quite promising."
"Exactly, Jonathan and Dio are polar opposites in personality, destined to be incompatible. There are surely more intense confrontations to come."
"Can't wait to see what happens next."
"..."
The audience in the cinema chatted excitedly.
After experiencing this segment of the story, even viewers from the eastern and western regions who had never seen a movie before were captivated by the charm and excitement of cinema.
At this moment, all eyes were glued to the screen, eagerly awaiting the unfolding of the subsequent plot.
...
In the barracks of the Southern Border Army.
Watching the fight between the two main protagonists, which seemed no different from a street brawl, the soldiers couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
After all, both Captain Brando and Warrant Officer Josen were powerful fourth-tier Sword Souls. To see such skilled swordsmen engage in such a crude and unrefined fight was, in the eyes of the soldiers who knew their true capabilities, both amusing and cringe-worthy.
However, after the initial amusement, the soldiers quickly became engrossed in the story.
After all, their anger toward Dio was almost perfectly aligned with that of the movie theater audience.
...
At the Southern Duke's mansion.
"It seems the next heir's character still needs some refinement," remarked Arcueid.
Hearing this, Constantine quickly wiped the sweat from his brow and explained, "Your Highness, you must understand, this is just a fictional movie. Although Brando is quite arrogant deep down, he's nowhere near as despicable as the Dio portrayed in the film."
"Ah, my mistake," Arcueid said with a smile, though it was clear she hadn't entirely dismissed her earlier comment.
Meanwhile, Duke Constantine grew increasingly displeased as he watched the scenes unfold. The chaotic and messy fight between the protagonists, though he knew it was just a performance, still left him dissatisfied.
"When he gets back, I'm going to put him through some serious training!" the Duke declared.
Hearing her father's words, Daphne, who was sitting nearby, shrank back in fear. As a descendant of the Constantine family, she knew all too well what her father's idea of "serious training" entailed—and it was nothing short of terrifying.
