Soft & Wet, Part 5 (ソフト＆ウェット その⑤), originally in the UJ release, is the sixth chapter of JoJolion and the eight hundred fifty-third chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga.

Summary
As the assailant falls from the upper floor, the protagonist grabs him, and throws him inside the apartment. He then holds the attacker by the jacket, taking the antidote for the venomous snakes from the man's jacket pocket. The man is stunned as he doesn't recognize the protagonist, and claims that he isn't Yoshikage Kira. However, the protagonist isn't satisfied with his claims and continues to violently slam the man against the furniture.

The man then tries to lie out of the situation. He asks the naked woman if the protagonist was the one who kidnapped her during her vacation, which she agrees to. However, the protagonist continues to kick him until the man clarifies the situation. He confirms his mistake by comparing the protagonist's hand with a model Kira made of his own hands. Claiming that Kira had them made to be exact replicas of his own hands. When compared, the protagonist's and Kira's hand shapes do not match.

The man then shows the protagonist and Yasuho a photo of the real Kira, saying that the protagonist doesn't look like him, while still acknowledging a certain familiarity. He explains that he isn't Kira, reveals himself as Ojiro Sasame, and proceeds to tell about his past.

Ojiro developed his ability during his childhood, because the house he grew up in sat on where the Wall Eyes would rise out of. During the summer of 2008, he was surfing on a beach. He used his ability on a girl who took his invitation, to clip her to the bottom of the water. He didn't kill her, though he states that even if he did he would easily get away with it. It was at that time when he met Yoshikage Kira, who would drive him insane by continuously asking him if surfers are men of the land or of the sea.

This went on for a while, until one day Kira psychologically manipulated Ojiro into eating his own fingers to prove that he was a man. Ojiro held a grudge on Kira since then. He went on to explain that he rented an apartment room above Kira's and set up all sorts of traps in Kira's room, so that he could use Fun Fun Fun on Kira. He also kidnapped a girl and used her as bait; he also revealed that the photo album of the woman in bondage was set up by himself, and he made it look like Kira did it, so that he could frame Kira. He waited three days in his temporary room for Kira to return so that Ojiro could ambush him.

The man realizes that the woman from the bathroom suddenly went missing. He asks Yasuho where the woman has gone to, and Yasuho replies that the woman must have left while no one was looking. The man wonders if the woman is still naked, and decides to let her go.

Then Yasuho recognizes in the photo the spring where she found the protagonist. After knocking Ojiro out for good, the two go back to the spring.

Once arrived at the spring, the protagonist plunders all the water with his Soft & Wet's Stand ability and finds the corpse of a man. The corpse's autopsy reveals the corpse belonging to Yoshikage Kira, and it's assumed that he died of a heart attack three days earlier. What's more strange is that Kira's corpse was missing its testicles.

Afterwards, the protagonist is taken to live with the Higashikata Family, under the name Josuke Higashikata, due to the protagonist's resemblance to Yasuho's old dog of the same name.

Meanwhile, the woman from before hides her naked body in a trash can outside, finally free but still lost. A couple of boys riding by accidentally bump into her can, prompting her to stand up, covering herself with the can, and stumble around. The boys watch as she laments about going back to until she trips, falls and rolls over; the boys are surprised to see that she's completely naked.
