01x04 - The Devil's Palm

[bunniefuu]

‎Once clear of the Boomboom family,
‎the damage mostly wore off.

‎I might not be fully healed though.

‎What kind of trick is that?

‎Rather than a trick, it might be better
‎to think of it as a curse.

‎A curse?

‎It seems that once they touch you,

‎getting caught between the three of them
‎triggers a powerful attack.

‎A curse that pulls iron.

‎Like magnets pulling together.

‎It's late, but we have no choice.

‎We have to keep moving
‎so they don't catch up.

‎Gyro! Someone's coming after us!

‎It's the Boomboom family.

‎The magnetic pull will start again
‎if they get too close!

‎Don't let them catch up to us.

‎Johnny Joestar is the k*ller
‎of three competitors.

‎And given the situation...

‎I'll arrest him and put an end to this.

‎Dead or alive!

‎STEEL BALL RUN
‎JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE

‎#04
‎THE DEVIL'S PALM

‎Damn! He hasn't
‎slowed down one bit, has he?

‎Even though both his horse and ours
‎should be at their limit.

‎Something's off.

‎Is that really the Boomboom family?

‎That strange hat...
‎I feel like I've seen it before.

‎Gyro! What's with him?

‎He's already over the rise!

‎Wait... I know him.

‎It's Mountain Tim!

‎Why is he chasing us?

‎Good. They're almost
‎within magnetic range.

‎Those three magnets
‎will have no choice but to stick together.

‎Then they'll tear themselves apart
‎and spill their guts, right?

‎Damn! We've been running nonstop.

‎He's still speeding up.

‎That's insane!

‎No. Gyro.

‎I'm starting to understand.
‎That's not what's going on.

‎He is speeding up. But that's not all!

‎I'm being pulled backward!

‎Johnny!

‎Yes! He fell off his horse.
‎That settles it!

‎Awesome!

‎Way to go, Mountain Tim!

‎All that's left is for the three magnets
‎to stick together!

‎Dad, let's go watch!

‎I want to see them tear themselves apart
‎and spill their guts up close!

‎Yeah!

‎Hey, Dad... I feel cold.

‎My vision's blurry and I'm so cold.

‎I think something's really wrong with me.

‎Cold? We've got bigger things
‎to worry about, Andre.

‎Is that really what matters right now?

‎I've somehow become a human magnet too!

‎Johnny. When did they touch you?

‎You must've been touched somewhere!

‎I have no idea.

‎Maybe it was the b*llet.

‎The b*llet Benjamin Boomboom fired...

‎Maybe it had something on it!

‎Damn it! We've got to find them.

‎Where are they?

‎They've got to be nearby
‎controlling this magnetism.

‎Maybe they've already done their part.

‎Mountain Tim... I don't know
‎why he's after us,

‎but this started when he got close to us.

‎Hey, Johnny. What are you doing?

‎I'm being dragged backward.

‎You're being pulled too, Gyro!

‎It's Mountain Tim! He must've been touched
‎by them somewhere too!

‎The three of us have been pulling
‎each other without realizing it!

‎With only two of us,
‎it was probably too weak to notice.

‎But when all three of us got close,
‎we all started pulling one another.

‎The magnetic force combined
‎and reached its maximum!

‎We're pulled backward while he speeds up!

‎How is he still on his horse?

‎He doesn't realize it
‎because he's riding straight toward us!

‎What happens if he reaches us?

‎My skin... The iron in my blood
‎is being drawn together.

‎Don't let him get any closer!

‎If he gets any closer,
‎all three of us will burst apart!

‎We've got to warn him
‎to get off his horse!

‎What? Why is Johnny Joestar off his horse?

‎Gyro Zeppeli's there too.
‎They're shouting something.

‎Stop! Stay back!

‎No! He can't hear us!
‎He's coming straight at us!

‎Even if he could hear us,
‎I doubt he'd just get off his horse.

‎If we don't tell him he's been magnetized,
‎all three of us will die!

‎Right. Then let's get him off his horse!

‎No, Gyro! It won't reach him!

‎The Steel Ball will come right back
‎to your magnetized body!

‎I know, Johnny.

‎The magnetism will pull the Steel Ball
‎back to me, right?

‎That's the part I'm counting on.

‎It's enough to pull him off his horse.

‎I scattered the rubble.

‎But it's gonna hurt bad...

‎All three of us.
‎Because we're all magnetic now.

‎There's iron in the rock.

‎Cover yourself, Johnny!

‎What the...

‎We did it!
‎We pulled Mountain Tim off his horse!

‎What's this force pulling me in?

‎My g*n's being pulled onto my arm!

‎No, Gyro... We got too close.

‎We'd already gotten too close!

‎He's flying right at us!

‎My blood vessels are bursting!

Oh! Lonesome Me!

‎What the hell is that?

‎I threw my rope.

‎I can move my body in pieces
‎as far as the rope reaches.

‎Looks like if we get any closer,
‎something bad will happen.

‎sh*t!

‎What's wrong, Dad?

‎They're gonna get away!
‎We've got to cut that rope!

‎I guess I was chasing the wrong man,
‎Johnny Joestar.

‎This magnetic force pulling me...
‎Whose ability is it?

‎Explain it to me. What's happening?

‎OH! LONESOME ME
‎MOUNTAIN TIM

‎TOMB OF THE BOOM 1 2 3
‎THE BOOMBOOM FAMILY

‎I see. The culprits
‎are the Boomboom family.

‎They have the ability to manipulate iron.

‎So if I approach you
‎without knowing, I'll die.

‎I'll move further away.

‎Just what are you?

‎The Boomboom family's one thing,
‎but you too.

‎Are you even human? What's going on?

‎What about you?
‎What's with that steel ball?

‎Mine's just a technique.

‎There's still a lot
‎we don't know about humans.

‎I see. There's still much
‎we don't know about humans.

‎I'll keep it brief. It was 15 years ago.

‎Back in 1875,

‎I was 16 and had joined the military.

‎We were assigned to explore
‎an uncharted area of this Arizona desert.

‎But my cavalry troop got lost,

‎wandering for days in search of water.

‎The area was feared by local tribes
‎who called it the "Devil's Palm."

‎We walked right into it.

‎Compasses didn't work at all there.

‎Quicksand kept the ground
‎constantly shifting.

‎And that wasn't all.

‎Entire mountains vanished,
‎valleys appeared,

‎and the terrain kept changing.

‎That's how we lost our way.

‎They say the Devil's Palm
‎moves several miles a day.

‎No one knows how large it is
‎or where it is.

‎According to the local tribes' legend,

‎a falling star destroyed everything
‎long ago.

‎The whole area was left cursed.

‎We never found water.

‎It was also a place
‎where one could reshape fate.

‎For some reason, I woke up.

‎It was late at night.

‎A small amount of dew formed on my rope.

‎My body soaked it up.

‎Unconsciously...

‎my body had become one with the rope.

‎I was the only one left alive.

‎Perhaps because of some kind of force,

‎the Devil's Palm draws out
‎a person's dormant potential.

‎The Indigenous people
‎call it a cursed power.

‎Maybe they're right.

‎After all, I was supposed to die
‎with everyone else.

‎I personally call this ability "Stand."

‎One who stands against.

‎"Stand... One who stands against"?

‎No doubt about it.

‎The Boomboom family
‎must've entered the Devil's Palm

‎and gained a Stand.

‎So that means

‎the only way to keep moving

‎is to find them and take them down.

‎Nah. I don't think you need to.

‎No need to look for us.
‎No need to stay apart, either.

‎The only way you can move
‎is closer together.

‎Right, Dad?

‎Dad told me so.

‎Need a hand, L.A.?
‎Can you cut the rope yourself?

‎Mountain Tim's rope, I mean.

‎Well... Maybe I can. Maybe I can't.

‎Is this made of iron sand?

‎He's gathering iron sand and shaping it!

‎It's sticking to me. It's so heavy!

‎It's charging straight toward
‎Mountain Tim too!

‎I knew it. You're too reckless
‎on your own, L.A.!

‎Seal up their hands with iron filings too.

‎Oh, Dad! I'm so happy!

‎Happy? Yeah, we sure are!

‎Don't let them do a thing.

‎-Cut Mountain Tim's rope now!
‎-Okay.

‎The rope's been cut!

‎We're done for!

‎So heavy...

‎It's useless.

‎There's nothing you can do
‎in this magnetic field!

‎Johnny. Your hands are free.

‎You're the one who has to do it!

‎The Spin, Johnny.

‎Use the Spin to take them out.

‎There's a b*llet right there!

‎Grab it!

‎The b*llet's made of lead. It'll fly true
‎even in this magnetic field!

‎Spin that b*llet!

‎Me?

‎Johnny, you have to do it!
‎It's Lesson Three!

‎You told me you spun that cork!

‎That was a fluke!

‎Trust the Spin.

‎The Spin holds infinite power. Trust it!

‎No! He's coming!

‎They've merged!

‎How far will their guts fly?

‎Think they'll break the record?

‎We're tearing apart!

‎Johnny! Do it! You have to!

‎Can I really do it?
‎I've only made it spin once.

‎But this is why I entered this race.

‎To learn the secret of the Spin.

‎To master the Spin!

‎Our bodies are gonna burst. Johnny!

‎Do it! Or it'll all end here!

‎It's spinning... It's spinning, Gyro!

‎L.A. Don't let your guard down.

‎Watch out for
‎a dying man's last-ditch effort.

‎No, Gyro... I couldn't make it.

‎I failed!

‎No... That's not it, Dad.

‎Dad, it's not "Watch out."

‎Get back, Dad! Get away from there now!

‎What's with his hand?

‎Johnny Joestar...

‎What's that?

‎My hand...

‎My nails... What is this? Gyro!

‎What's going on?
‎The Steel Ball's Spin doesn't do that!

‎Could this be...

‎I'm telling you, Dad! Get back!

‎Hurry! Your leg!

‎Dad!

‎What the hell is happening?

‎Gyro! What was that?

‎I haven't got a clue.

‎You b*stard! Look what you did to my dad!

‎Johnny!

‎Burst your blood vessels and drop dead!

‎Impossible! My body...

‎My legs... They leaped!

‎No... No way!

‎Gyro, tell me!
‎What's happening to my fingers?

‎That's not the Steel Ball's Spin.

‎It's not any technique I know.

‎If it's more than a technique...

‎No doubt about it. It's a Stand!

‎Johnny Joestar, you've been affected

‎by the Devil's Palm.

‎I think we're standing in it right now.

‎We wandered into it without realizing it.

‎A Stand? Me?

‎Maybe it was just coincidence.

‎Or maybe the land itself pulled us in.

‎Probably the latter.

‎Call your horses!

‎The terrain's changing.

‎Move, or we'll get lost!

‎What? Valkyrie!

‎Wait, you b*stards!

‎I'll never forgive you!

‎I'll make you pay.

‎I've still got my brother!

‎Andre! Take them down!

‎Andre!

‎Forget about them.
‎The Boomboom family is finished.

‎Maybe so.

‎Gyro Zeppeli!

‎You'll never make it to the finish anyway!

‎You think we're the only ones
‎after your life?

‎We went after you

‎because someone promised us
‎200,000 dollars if you died!

‎You've got a bounty on your head.

‎Who hired you guys?

‎What are you doing? Move!

‎Don't waste time! We'll lose our bearings!

‎Get back here! Come back!

‎I'll k*ll you!

‎Dad...

‎Andre...

‎The change that occurred in me...
‎Just what was that?

‎But more importantly...

‎Who is Gyro, really?

‎Is he a wanted man?

‎Just what is he hiding?
