Dangerous Pursuit (story arc)

Dangerous Pursuit (危険な追跡) is the twentieth story arc in JoJolion.

Summary
Cornered by Satoru Akefu's attack, Josuke confesses to Mamezuku that at this point, he may still have no proper identity even if he's found out the identities of the two men he is composed of, since he neither has memory nor has anyone from his past been looking for him. Josuke is thus determined to claim the Locacaca and perform an equivalent exchange as proof of his existence. Josuke thus steps out of the car, willingly letting the raindrops pierce his body to be transported to the hospital. A shocked Rai is left behind, apprehended by the police. Meanwhile, Yasuho and Tooru are sitting together. Reminiscing an incident in which he was inspired to create an invention thanks to Yasuho but was ignored, Tooru manages to turn the conversation back to his love life, asking Yasuho again to come back together. Yasuho is distracted by her own researches, and Tooru eventually helps Yasuho by showing her a photo revealing not only Satoru Akefu's face, but also revealing that he and Mitsuba Higashikata are acquainted. There is 48 hours left before the harvest.

Convinced that Mitsuba is targeted by Satoru Akefu, Yasuho decides to go to the Higashikata House, with Tooru as her driver. Meanwhile, Mitsuba begins to suspect that something is amiss as she learns about the victims of the preceding battles. Not only does she spot the head doctor suspiciously lurking near her house and is almost victim of an improbable accident, her peace is definitely broken as Tsurugi's Rock Disease goes out of control. Paper Moon King reacts and turns the boy's left half into a giant origami. Two days later, Josuke wakes up at the hospital. The lecture is about to begin but his mission is compromised when a policeman he's taken out falls into his body, causing heavy damage.

Josuke finds himself in a desperate situation but thankfully, Holy wakes up and comes to save him, having sensed his arrival. As she drags him toward the gynecology department, room A2 where she was receiving the Locacaca treatment, Holy explains that her condition has worsened and that a mass of rock moving through her body threatens to put her into a coma regularly. Moreover, she explains that the Locacaca Research Organization has infiltrated the hospital since a long time, performing clinical trials through Tamaki Damo's smuggling ring. At the same time, Satoru begins his lecture and unveils his new miracle medicine, the Locacaca 6251. Josuke and Holy reach room A2 and Holy manages to heal Josuke with some Locacaca 6251 as well before losing consciousness. Seeing his mother in this disastrous state, Josuke recovers and is more determined than ever to get his hands on the fruit.

Josuke decides to revise his plans and instead of pursuing the head doctor head-on, has an unknown parcel delivered somewhere else and then patiently waits inside the hidden laboratory. Meanwhile, Yasuho has arrived at the Higashikata House begins to infiltrate the house to find the new Locacaca. Jumping between electronic devices, Yasuho eventually finds a bedridden Tsurugi and tries to ask him the location of the branch. However, she is interrupted when Jobin grabs the mobile phone Paisley Park is hiding in and throws it in the toilets in an attempt to drown Yasuho. Worse, the phone's signal is cut off. Desperate, she grabs one of the cameras overlooking the property and films herself, which catches the attention of Mitsuba and makes her instinctively rush to Tsurugi's room. However, for the sake of Tsurugi's welfare, she decides to not rescue Yasuho when she suddenly sees Satoru Akefu standing near the house, realizing that bad luck always strikes when the head doctor is nearby. To finish her off, Mitsuba summons Awaking III Leaves, but misplaces one of her arrows, whose force is redirected into a wall, thus revealing Jobin's hidden Locacaca tree to the whole family.
