SC Episode 4

Tower of Gray is the thirtieth episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime and the fourth episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. It covers the second half of Chapter 122 through Chapter 124 of the manga.

Summary
As Dio drains the life essence of a young woman, he is informed by one of his subordinates, an old hag by the name of Enya, that the Joestar group was on their way, but reassures him that one of their assassins was already in position. Back on the plane, the group discovers a large stag beetle flying about, which Avdol recognizes as the Tower of Gray, a stand known for causing numerous mass murders and disasters in the past. Jotaro engages the stand first, but is overwhelmed by it's incredible speed. The user of the Stand taunts the group by ripping out the tongues of several passengers in a row and uses it to write massacre on the plane wall.

Kakyoin decides to take on the stand himself, claiming that it was the most logical choice given the destruction power of Avdol and Jotaro's stands. The battle begins with Kakyoin releasing a healthy barrage of Emerald Splash, though these too were easily dodged by the Tower of Gray. The enemy stand manages to strike Heirohphant Green just before Kakyoin reveals the previous attacks were a diversion as several of Hierophant's tentacles sprout forth from the plane seats and impale Tower of Gray from all sides. With the stand mutilated, the user of the stand, Gray Fly, is revealed to be an old man Kakyoin had knocked out early. Upon further inspection, the group discovers the old man was not under Dio's control and was inherently evil. Joseph then realizes that the plane appeared to be tilting and so the group head towards the cockpit.

At the cockpit, they find all of the pilots murdered and the plane was descending at an alarming rate. Gray Fly briefly appears again to warn the group that even if they survive the crash, they would not make it in time. At this point, Gray fly falls backward and dies, while Joseph tries to land the plane. (Despite having crashed two planes previously.)

The plane lands off the coast of Hong Kong, where the group decides an alternative route to reach Egypt. At a nearby resturant, Joseph and Avdol decide that the safest route to Egypt would be by boat. They are then interupted by a French tourist who asks them for help reading the menu. Joseph decides to let the man join them as he orders the wrong food. The french man reveals himself to be another assassin sent by Dio and is immediately attacked by Avdol's Magician's Red. The french swordsman summons a stand of his own, by the name of silver chariot, and deflects the attack at a turned over table. The flames hit the table and turn into a clock, at which point the Silver Chariot's user claims he would defeat Avdol before clock strikes twelve.
