04x04 - Joining the g*ng / Joining the Famiglia

[bunniefuu]

Giorno: Something's wrong.

Giorno: It actually lit up again... There has to be something wrong!

Black: You relit the lighter, didn't you?

Giorno: No way! You bastard! What the hell are you doing?!

Black: This soul...

Black: did not belong to one who should be chosen.

Giorno: One who should be chosen?

Giorno: H-Hey, are you...

Giorno: He's dead. He's uninjured, but he's dead...

Black: You relit the lighter, too, didn't you?

Black: I'll give you one more chance. You have two possible paths...

Girono: So it indiscriminately att*cks anyone who happens to see the lighter relit.

Giorno: Th-This is...

Giorno: This bastard... He's dragging my soul

Giorno: out of me through my shadow!

Black: I'll give you one more chance. You have two possible paths...

Black: The first path is to become a chosen one.

Giorno: It's no use... It's stronger than Golden Wind.

Giorno: The old man d*ed after his soul was struck by that arrow.

Giorno: So what's going to happen to me

JoJo-internal/narrator: ,if my Stand is att*cked?

Black: Your only other path is death.

Giorno: Th-This arrow...

Giorno: If I actually get stabbed by that arrow, I'm dead for sure!

Giorno: I've got no choice!

Giorno: Even if Polpo is one of the capos,

Giorno: if he's going to stand in my way

JoJo-main: ,and even k*ll an innocent old man like he was a piece of trash...

Giorno: I have to defeat him!

Giorno: Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless!

Giorno: Golden Wind...

JoJo-main: ,Only your senses will go berserk, and all movements will look slow.

Giorno: It's gone! That's impossible!

Giorno: It shouldn't be able to control its own movements right now.

Giorno: Even if it were able to move, it should be extremely slow.

Giorno: It shouldn't be able to disappear!

Giorno: It has to be around here somewhere...

JoJo-main: ,It has to be!

Giorno: I have to find it before the slowed-time effect wears off,

Giorno: or it'll att*ck me again.

Giorno: What?!

Giorno: F-From within the shadows?! Sh-sh*t!

Giorno: Its movements are slower, but it's still just as powerful!

Giorno: I can't move at all!

Girono: The shadows! It's in the shadows!

Giorno: It can only move within the shadows, but at amazing speed...

Giorno: Looks like it can't follow me into the sunlight.

Giorno: But the sun's going to set on the other side of the school soon.

Giorno: Once that happens, I'll have nowhere to run.

Giorno: What'll happen if I force it out into the sunlight?

Giorno: It's definitely worth trying.

Giorno: But how am I going to drag it out?

Giorno: What should I do? It's waiting right there.

Giorno: It's waiting there patiently

JoJo-main: ,for the sun to go down.

Koichi: Hey!

Koichi: What are you doing, Giorno Giovanna?!

Giorno: Koichi!

Koichi: Who's that guy collapsed at the bottom of the stairs?!

Koichi: What did you do to him?!

Giorno: Hey, don't get the wrong idea!

Giorno: That wasn't me!

Giorno: That Stand right there atta—

Koichi: The wrong idea?

Koichi: I saw you talking to that old man!

Koichi: I was watching from the window!

Giorno: You were... watching?

Giorno: Then... did you see the lighter being relit, too?

Koichi: Huh?

Giorno: Don't step into the handrail's shadow, Koichi!

Giorno: Get out of the shadows!

Giorno: Sh-sh*t!

Black: You saw the lighter being relit, didn't you?

Black: You have two possible paths.

Koichi: Wh-What's going on?

Black: The first path is to become a chosen one.

Black: Your only other path is death.

Koichi: This arrow is...

Giorno: Golden Wind!

Giorno: It hurts so much...

JoJo-main: ,This hurts like hell, but now...

Giorno: it looks like I was able to drag you out into the sunlight.

Giorno: I turned part of the handrail

JoJo-main: ,into morning glories and let them hang down.

Giorno: Now you're out of the handrail's shadow!

Giorno: So close!

JoJo-main: ,There were more shadows nearby, so it managed to escape.

Giorno: But it looks like if I can drag that thing completely out into the sunlight,

JoJo-main: ,I might be able to win.

Koichi: Wh-What was...

Koichi: What was that Stand?!

Giorno: As you saw, it's trying to att*ck us.

Giorno: The old man who relit this lighter was k*lled.

Giorno: Because we saw it being relit,

Giorno: both you and I are now its targets.

Koichi: That's not what I meant.

Koichi: That arrow... It's from the Bow and Arrow!

Koichi: I didn't know one was in Italy, too...

Koichi: What are you doing, Giorno Giovanna?!

Koichi: Is it because of you that another Stand with the arrow appeared?!

Giorno: It'll take too long to explain everything...

JoJo-main: ,But I don't know anything.

Giorno: Do you know something about that Stand?

Giorno: And about that arrow?

Koichi: Why did you save me?

Giorno: Telling me about that arrow is more important!

Giorno: The sun's going to set!

Koichi: Why did you save me?!

Koichi: Don't you dare assume that I feel like I owe a thief like you anything!

Giorno: The lighter being lit is because of something I did.

Giorno: There was nothing I could've done for that old man.

Giorno: I feel awful about it.

Giorno: I believe what I did was right, but I feel dark and gross inside.

Giorno: But despite that,

JoJo-main: ,I, Giorno Giovanna, have a dream that I believe to be right.

Koichi: Two years ago, I was sh*t with a similar arrow and gained my Stand ability.

Koichi: If the person sh*t with the arrow doesn't awaken to that ability, they will die.

Giorno: Awaken to the ability?

Giorno: That's it!

Giorno: That's what it meant by the "chosen one"!

Giorno: Someone whose Stand awakened!

Giorno: And that must be the motive behind Polpo's test!

Koichi: I don't know about the origin of the arrow,

Koichi: but I've met a Stand very similar to this one before.

Koichi: It's a long-distance remote-controlled Stand!

Giorno: Long-distance and remote-controlled?

Koichi: It can only carry out simple commands,

JoJo-main: ,but it won't stop attacking until it's fulfilled its motive.

Koichi: Our best option is to find the Stand user and take them down.

Giorno: Sadly, that's not an option.

Giorno: The user is in a jail cell. We can't get to him.

Giorno: Anyway,

JoJo-main: ,that thing won't be able to leave the school building's shadow,

JoJo-main: ,so let's head into the sunlight while it's still available.

Giorno: Then, before the sun goes down,

JoJo-main: ,we'll lure it into the shadow of something that can move,

Giorno: and then we'll get rid of that shadow.

Giorno: That way, we can drag it into the sunlight.

Koichi: Got it!

Koichi: I-It's gone!

Black: I've got you!

Giorno: Wh-What?!

Black: You saw the lighter being relit, didn't you?

Koichi: The crows!

Koichi: It hid in the shadows of those crows and moved over there in them!

Giorno: Th-This thing...

Giorno: It's useless!

Giorno: Sh-sh*t!

Giorno: While in the shadows, its power and speed are much higher!

Koichi: Act ! Freeze!

Koichi: My Reverb Act 's ability is to make Stands or people heavier.

Reverb: I've made its hands heavier,

Reverb: so much that it won't be able to lift a finger from the ground.

Koichi: It should let go.

JoJo-main: ,I made the entirety of its hands heavier!

Koichi: It shouldn't be able to bend its fingers anymore!

Giorno: It's strong...

JoJo-main: ,It's determined to not let go, no matter what.

Black: You have two possible paths...

Koichi: I-It's no use!

JoJo-internal/narrator: ,Any damage inflicted upon the Stand goes right back to the user!

Koichi: At this rate, Giorno's legs are going to break!

Koichi: Act ! Undo Freeze...

Giorno: No.

Giorno: Don't do that, Koichi.

Giorno: This ability that makes things heavier... Don't you dare undo it.

Giorno: This is perfect.

Giorno: This is exactly the ability that I was looking for!

Koichi: But your leg's going to shatter!

Koichi: Wh-What?

Koichi: That tree...

Giorno: Golden Wind is an ability that continuously gives life,

Giorno: so that tree continued to grow, lived the extent of its life,

JoJo-main: ,and is now starting to wither.

Koichi: Ability?

Koichi: But that tree's at least ten meters away...

Koichi: So you got to the tree's roots by digging that hole!

Bam,Sfx: Bam

Koichi: Y-You did it! The shadow's gone!

Koichi: It's been dragged out into the daylight!

Giorno: You told me there were two paths,

Giorno: but sadly, you only have one.

Giorno: Koichi, could you move to the right a little?

Koichi: Huh? Like this?

Giorno: Hmm...

Giorno: Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless!

Giorno: Bask in the sunlight.

Giorno: That's it.

Giorno: That's your one possible path.

Giorno: Still, I have to wonder

JoJo-main: ,if I'm going to be able to join the g*ng now.

Giorno: What to do...

Sign: Polpo

Sign: Shadow Sabbath

Koichi: That arrow...

Koichi: The fact that the Arrow is also in Italy means

Koichi: that there'll be even more victims!

Koichi: I need to hurry up and tell Jotaro!

Koichi: Wh-What are you doing?

Giorno: Did you just say there'll be more?

Giorno: We defeated Polpo's Stand,which had the arrow.

JoJo-main: ,You saw it for yourself.

Koichi: Defeated? You've got this all wrong!

Koichi: I'll admit that we managed to escape its att*cks because of you,

Koichi: but that Stand only stopped attacking because of the sunlight.

Koichi: The user isn't hurt at all. They're perfectly fine!

Giorno: So Polpo's alive?

Koichi: Not only that, but long-distance remote-controlled Stands

JoJo-main: ,basically don't affect their users at all.

Koichi: He probably hasn't even realized there's been a battle here.

Giorno: What?

Giorno: So he has no idea at all?

JoJo-main: ,He doesn't know I'm a Stand user, either?

Koichi: Chill out, would you?

Koichi: If he noticed anything, it was probably that his hand felt a bit heavier,

Koichi: but he'd have no way of knowing that you and I are Stand users.

Koichi: Hey, could you move your finger?

Giorno: Sorry, but I still can't let you make your call.

Giorno: I'm begging you...

JoJo-main: ,This isn't just one enemy.They're an organization.

Giorno: If you tell someone, the organization might find out.

Koichi: Enemy?

JoJo-main: ,Organization?

Giorno: I'll tell you and only you, Koichi.

Polpo: Someone gifted me a special-order pizza.

Polpo: Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's see, you were...

Polpo: Giorno... Giorno, uh...

Giorno: Giorno Giovanna.

Polpo: Ah, yes. Sorry about that.

Polpo: My head goes blank when I eat.

Polpo: Perhaps it's because all my blood goes to my stomach.

Polpo: This might sound sudden, but are you a religious person, Giorno?

Giorno: I'm not sure... but I'm not very passionate about it.

Polpo: What I'm about to say may contradict God's teachings,

Polpo: but I'd like you to listen carefully.

Polpo: If the most important thing in this world is trust,

Polpo: the most despicable thing you can do is insult someone.

Polpo: Listen well... To insult or betray someone's trust

Polpo: not only hurts their reputation,

Polpo: but puts them in a very sticky situation.

Polpo: We will not fight others or risk our lives over money, power,

Polpo: or having our seats taken at a theater or on the bus.

JoJo-main: ,Fighting is truly foolish.Only idiots bother with it.

Polpo: But...

JoJo-main: ,I will risk my life over being insulted.

Polpo: I believe that God forgives even m*rder.

Polpo: Don't forget that.

Polpo: Congratulations! I will allow you to enter the organization.

Polpo: You did bring me the lighter still lit, as I trusted you would.

Polpo: You pass.

Polpo: That's our Passione organization's badge.

Polpo: It proves that you passed.

Polpo: You'll be working under Bucciarati for a while.

Polpo: How about it? Why don't we celebrate your...

Polpo: Did that brat actually protect the flame for hours?

Polpo: Or did he relight it and become a Stand user?

Polpo: I couldn't care less about that.

Polpo: Young, clueless guys like him are easy to use.

Polpo: Either way, we can use him however we want.

Polpo: Oh?

JoJo-main: ,I could've sworn I closed that...

Polpo: The blood does flow to my stomach after I've eaten...

Jotaro: You met him again?

Koichi: I'm sorry, Jotaro.

Koichi: But I can't help thinking

Koichi: that he, Giorno Giovanna, isn't as dangerous as you think he might be.

Jotaro: What makes you think that?

Koichi: Well...

Koichi: Well, I'll tell you that in person.

Koichi: Is that all right?

Jotaro: All right.

Jotaro: If that's what you want to do, that's fine.

Jotaro: I'll be waiting.

Koichi: Thank you.

Koichi: I'll talk to you later.

Koichi: Jotaro, back then, I really did think...

Koichi: Does this Giorno kid really admire that?

JoJo-internal/narrator: ,Is he sane?

Koichi: But I can feel it...

Koichi: I can feel that he has a righteous heart.

Koichi: I can tell...

Koichi: Because I observed three members of the Joestar bloodline back in Morioh.

Koichi: The three who exude righteousness from their hearts, as if it were their life energy.

Koichi: I could see the same thing in his eyes.

Koichi: Without a doubt, the blood that flows in his veins carries the will of the Joestars.

Koichi: So I'm going to keep this to myself for a while, like he asked...

Koichi: The golden dream that Giorno Giovanna possesses.

Koichi: Well, then, maybe I'll go do some sightseeing.

Bruno: Come with me, Giorno Giovanna.

Polpo: What was that noise?

Polpo: Well, whatever.

Giorno: When someone insults you, even m*rder is forgivable?

Giorno: I see. What you told me is very important.

Giorno: You insulted that innocent old man's life.

Giorno: So I changed one of your g*ns into a banana.

Giorno: You should savor your last meal as best you can.

Giorno: So... Where are we going?

Bruno: I'll introduce you to my team.

Bruno: They're all Stand users.
