03x16 - Let's Go Hunting!

[bunniefuu]

Jojo: Josuke, I'm about to go hunting.

Josu: Huh?

Jojo: Come with me.

Josu: Huh?

Josu: W-Wait a sec, Jotaro. Did you just say "hunting"?

Josu: Does that mean...

Josu: We're gonna be hunting down some chicks with nice bodies?

Josu: I'm a guy who's more into pure love, so I've never done that.

Josu: I wonder if I can do it...

Jojo: Akira Otoishi confessed yesterday.

Josu: Otoishi did?!

Jojo: Before his identity was revealed, he was using the bow and arrow.

Jojo: He happened to sh**t a rat with the arrow.

Josu: A rat?!

Jojo: The rat didn't die after it was shot.

It writhed in pain and freed itself from the arrow,

then ran away.

Jojo: So even though it's a rat, this means that

it has definitely obtained Stand abilities.

Jojo: I'm not sure what kind of Stand it is,

but we have to hunt it down before something happens.

Let's Go Hunting!

Josu: Wow, kewl!

Jojo: Getting a small, quick rat into your Stand's range will be difficult,

but by using the bearings, your range will increase to about meters.

Jojo: This should be obvious, but it won't work against a Stand.

Jjo: You'll only be able to use it to defeat the user.

Try it.

Josu: What? I have to do it, too?

Josu: I don't know... My mind tends to wander when ball-shaped things are involved.

Josu: The second one was so close!

Jojo: Not bad. I'd give it points.

Jojo: But before our pursuit, I'll give you a warning.

Jojo: When dealing with living creatures,

you need to put composure ahead of speed.

Jojo: If the rat enters your range and you miss,

it won't ever step into your range again.

Jojo: So don't fire until you're positive you'll hit it.

Jojo: I'm not trying to put pressure on you, but remember that.

Josu: I'm feeling plenty pressured now.

Jojo: Apparently, Akira Otoishi shot the rat

near this irrigation canal.

Jojo: Given the area, it was probably a brown rat.

Jojo: Brown rats can swim, live anywhere, and eat anything.

Jojo: The big ones reach about to centimeters long,

and some can weigh one kilogram.

Jojo: They can jump about meters.

Jojo: Found it.

Josu: Aren't those a bird's tracks?

Jojo: Their front paws have four digits, and the back ones have five.

Jojo: It's dragging something, forming this S-shape.

Jojo: This line was made by its tail.

Jojo: It's a rat that's around centimeters long.

I'm not sure how many, but they're definitely here.

Jojo: There's a tick on this leaf.

That means rats come through here often.

Jojo: Without a doubt, there's a nest deep in that drainage channel.

Jojo: For now, we'll set a trap here and video tape it.

Josu: That's one of those cameras that let you watch while you're taping, right?

Josu: You're not using cheese for the trap?

Jojo: It's a crumb of tempura.

Cheese is too extravagant for rats.

Josu: There sure are a lot of flies...

Josu: Jotaro!

Josu: Th-This is...

Jojo: Rat corpses?

Josu: It's exactly what it looks like!

Josu: It's like the jelly from stewed fish.

Josu: Why the heck are you poking at it?!

Jojo: It's flesh.

Jojo: The flesh of these rats was melted once, then hardened again.

Jojo: And they died from having the flesh under their skin melted.

Josu: What do you even do to leave behind a corpse like this?

Jojo: I'm not sure...

But we can probably assume it's the work of the rat that we're after.

Josu: It used its Stand?

Jojo: It k*lled the others and made their territory its own.

Jojo: Which means...

Jojo: It's definitely making a nest at the end of this drainage channel.

Jojo: But the question is

if something capable of doing this will just stay quiet.

Jojo: Looks like the drainage channel leads to that farm.

Jojo: We might already be too late.

Josu: R-Really?

Jojo: They have a chicken coop, but there aren't any chickens.

Jojo: There are no signs of life at the house, either.

Jojo: It doesn't look like they just went out, and the front door isn't locked.

Jojo: The rat is there.

And just as I feared,

it's likely that the people living there have already been k*lled.

Jojo: Let's go check out that house.

Jojo: The rat will let us approach within a certain distance,

Jojo: because it's confident that no slow human is going to catch it.

Jojo: It's not expecting us to blast bearings at it.

Jjo: That's how we'll get close enough to nail it in one shot.

Jojo: Found something.

Jojo: Rat droppings.

Jojo: Not made up of grass or grain, either.

It's meat.

Jjo: They're heading toward this room.

Jojo: Let's check it out.

Josu: Right.

Josu: What is that?

Josu: The sound of a refrigerator's compressor?

Josu: What the heck?

Does the refrigerator in this house open on its own?

Josu: Has the magnet in the door weakened?

Josu: What?! There it is!

Josu: ! It's right there!

Josu: That's what opened the refrigerator just now!

Josu: Can rats actually open refrigerator doors?!

Josu: Nah... Someone living here must not have shut the door all the way.

Josu: And... Am I actually naïve enough to believe that?

Josu: This rat is a Stand user!

Josu: Jo—

Josu: Jotaro's not here!

Josu: He went to the next room.

Josu: Great. Now our eyes have met.

Josu: Th-This is...

Josu: Did that rat do this?!

Josu: They're still alive...

Josu: Are you telling me that rat used its Stand to turn the owners

into this, then preserved them in the fridge?

Josu: And it's eating them!

Josu: it... Jotaro's not coming back.

Josu: That means I'm gonna have to k*ll this thing.

Josu: When dealing with living creatures,

I need to put composure ahead of speed, right?

Josu: If I don't get it in one try, it'll figure out my range.

Josu: That's what he said, right? it...

Josu: Talk about pressure!

Josu: From here, the table and chair are slightly in the way.

Josu: I'm gonna make sure I blast this bearing right into your forehead.

Josu: Stay right there for a bit...

Josu: ! It stopped eating.

Josu: If I move any more, it might run away!

Josu: I have no choice! It'll be an adventure,

but I'm gonna have to sh**t from here!

Josu: It's moving! Now!

Crush,Sfx: Crush

Josu: Yes!

Josu: It wasn't a fatal blow!

Josu: There it is!

That must be its Stand!

Josu: You're gonna try to attack me?

Don't underestimate me!

Josu: I'll get you with the next shot!

Josu: Crap! It's running under the table to get away!

Josu: I'm not going to let you!

Josu: Jotaro, what are you doing?!

The rat's here!

Josu: That shape...

Josu: ! It's a Stand that sh**t something!

Josu: What should I do? Slap it away with my bare hands?

Josu: But that's gross, so maybe not...

Josu: Which is it?

Josu: Did I hit it, or did I miss?

Josu: You!

Josu: Yes! I nailed it!

Josu: I didn't hit it in the forehead, but I beat it.

Josu: That was close...

Josu: Jotaro, over here!

Josu: I got the rat! It's over!

Josu: Ah. What were you doing?

You went missing at the most crucial time.

Josu: I felt totally stranded.

Josu: But wouldn't you know it...

I just barely made the bearing shot.

Josu: I wasn't trying to do a pun with "barely" there.

Josu: It had a Stand that shot something like needles.

Josu: I bet if they hit you, they melt your flesh.

Josu: The people who live here got hit, but they're still alive.

Josu: I can fix them with Shining Diamond.

Jojo: If we don't take care of this by sundown,

we may have a problem.

Josu: Huh?

Jojo: There's one more. I was just att*cked by it.

Josu: Jotaro! Y-Your hand...

Jojo: I was hit in the next room.

I could have dodged it...

Grabbing it to figure out the effects of those needles was a mistake.

Jojo: Just by touching the needle,

some kind of "Stand poison" courses through you, melting even Stands.

Jojo: Getting hit by five or six of those

would be enough to turn a human into mush.

Josu: Thank goodness I dodged!

Josu: I'm lucky our personalities are so different.

Jojo: That rat ran outside afterward.

Jojo: It must've figured out that you finished off the one in the kitchen.

Jojo: I hate to ask, but I'm sort of waiting for you to fix me up quickly.

Josu: O-Oh, right!

Josu: !

Why does there have to be another one?

Speed: Hello, this is the Speedwagon Foundation research team.

Jojo: Hello, this is Jotaro Kujo.

Speed: Jotaro!

: We've tried to call you several times already.

Jojo: I was in pursuit, so my ringer was off.

Jojo: Does it have to do with Otoishi?

Speed: Yes. Akira Otoishi hid the fact that he had shot two rats.

Jojo: Let me confirm.

It was two, and not three or four?

Speed: Yes, there's no doubt about it.

Jojo: Good grief, Akira Otoishi...

Jojo: Way to go.

Jojo: It kills everything in its territory,

whether they are humans or its own kind.

Jojo: It only cares about itself.

Jojo: It's not a creature that should be allowed to live on this Earth anymore.

Josu: Jotaro, wait!

How are you planning to chase after a tiny little rat

that's run out into this giant field?

Jojo: The author of Seton Animal Chronicles, E.T. Seton, said,

"There is no animal that cannot be tracked."

Jojo: Rats have a habit of not wanting to go down an unfamiliar path.

Jojo: Which means, without a doubt, it went back

toward that irrigation channel.

Jojo: And if they don't eat constantly,

they will die from starvation after about ten hours.

Jojo: There... Those bite marks are new.

Josu: Yes! This is awesome!

Josu: We'll be able to corner it!

Josu: Take a look at this.

Josu: It didn't even glance at the bait in the trap.

Jojo: It's on the video.

Jojo: Its ear looks like a leaf that's been eaten on by a bug.

Jojo: Let's call it "Bug-Eaten" from now on.

Jojo: Look at how cautious it is...

Jojo: Unlike earlier,

we can probably bet that Bug-Eaten won't let us

within meters of him.

Jojo: These are r*fle rounds.

Jojo: Just in case, I brought four rounds.

Josu: A-Actual rounds?!

Jojo: Because of air resistance, when round bearings fly

over meters, the point of impact goes off-course.

Jojo: With the head of this round, we'll be okay up to meters.

Josu: Am I going to sh**t that with my Stand's hand, too?

Josu: I'm not confident about this at all.

Jojo: Of course not. I guess I'll just have to do it.

Josu: Hold on...

Josu: Why'd you have to say it like that?

That kind of angry me off.

Josu: I'm the one who took care of the other one!

Josu: Sure, it wasn't a perfect shot, but...

Jojo: Right. So carry two rounds.

Josu: Huh?

Josu: S-So much pressure...

Jojo: Be careful. There are leeches in this puddle.

Josu: What?!

Jojo: Impossible...

Josu: What's wrong?

Jojo: Be careful, Josuke.

The footprints suddenly disappear here.

Josu: What is this?!

Why'd the footprints disappear?

Josu: I know! It's under the dirt.

It must've dug a hole, then covered itself.

Jojo: No!

This is backtracking...

I didn't think that rats did it, too.

Josu: Backtracking?

Jojo: Backtracking is a special instinct that wild animals have

in which they go back the way they came to hide from an enemy.

Jojo: In Japan, it's said that brown bears, weasels, and rabbits do this.

Jojo: But there's no record of rats backtracking, too.

Josu: Does that mean, basically, that the rat put one over on us?

Jojo: Things aren't looking good.

With this terrain...

We might actually be the ones who are being hunted.

Josu: I feel like something's staring at us.

We need to hide behind a rock.

Jojo: Move calmly...

Jojo: Bug-Eaten's Stand's attack isn't too fast for us to see.

Jojo: Don't miss where it's coming from.

Jojo: If we can find where it's hiding, we'll sh**t it instead.

Josu: What is this?!

Josu: Wha?!

Josu: The rat used the trap that we set for it?

Jojo: Star Platinum, The World!

Jojo: Good grief.

Jojo: Don't panic.

I took out the needle before the poison spread,

along with the flesh that it pierced.

Jojo: Put a bandage on it.

Jojo: And I figured out where the rat's hiding.

Jojo: Halfway up the hill, near those three rocks.

Josu: You're amazing! Both the rat and you, Jotaro!

Josu: Am I the only loser this time around?

Jojo: It's meters away.

Jojo: It doesn't look like it's going to sh**t more needles yet.

Jojo: It knows that if it sh**t too much,

we'll be able to pinpoint its location and attack.

Jojo: Stubborn little villain.

Josu: Why are you complimenting the rat?

Josu: We need to do something.

Jojo: Well said, Josuke.

We need to give it everything we've got,

or Bug-Eaten's gonna get us.

Jojo: I'll give you all four rounds.

Jojo: At this distance, it'll go up like a slider,

so aim one centimeter lower than the target.

Josu: Jotaro? What are you going to do?

Jojo: I'm going to get closer so it'll sh**t the needles.

Jojo: You're going to find out where it is, Josuke...

Jojo: And then you're going to attack.

Josu: Wh-What?!

Jojo: You're the only one who can do this.

Jojo: Even if I get hit with one or two of its needles,

I can have Shining Diamond fix me.

Jojo: But Josuke, you can't fix yourself.

Jojo: Give it all you've got, Josuke!

Josu: I-I need time to mentally prepare!

Jojo: Star Platinum, The World!

Jojo: Did you find it?

Ojsu: N-No... It moved right after it fired!

Jojo: I'll try to get closer while going up the side of the hill.

Jojo: Look for the moment it fires.

Josu: The moment it fires...

Josu: Th-The pressure!

Josu: There! I see it!

Jojo: What?!

Jojo: That one calculated that I'd dodge

and then fired the needles at the rocks?

Jojo: It ricocheted?

Josu: Jotaro!

Jojo: Don't look at me, Josuke!

Aim at the rat!

Get it right when it's about to attack!

Josu: This isn't good.

I've got four rounds, but I won't get any more chances.

Josu: If I waste any time...

Jojo: Here we go, Josuke.

Josu: There! It's the same spot as before.

Josu: But it's hiding behind the rocks.

Josu: ! If only it was looking over here...

Josu: But I've got to do this!

Josu: I'm just going to have to hit that small target!

Josu: I'm suddenly feeling stronger.

I'm going to get you, you little villain.

Jojo: Josuke missed...

Josu: So you did look.

I thought you'd look if I missed, and face your body this way.

Josu: Now I can target you for sure.

Josu: In the end, I wasn't a loser at all.

Josu: Call me Josuke Higashikata, the man who deflects pressure!

Jojo: The Stand rats that Akira Otoishi created...

Jojo: Considering the destruction of nature that humanity brought on,

I'm not sure how to feel...

Jojo: But thankfully, Josuke's pretty reliable.

Jojo: Good grief. We can finally relax a little.
