Chapter 49

Straizo VS Joseph (2), originally The Game Master in the WSJ release, is the forty-ninth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the fifth chapter of Part II: Battle Tendency.

Summary
Joseph opens fire on Straizo with a Thompson submachine gun, blasting him through the window. He steps inside, and the inhabitants (including Smokey) are either in shock or in fear of him, believing he has killed a man. Straizo gets up and attacks Joseph with his Space Ripper Stingy Eyes, seemingly piercing Joseph's forehead and throat. The Joseph that Straits damaged turned out to be a reflection in the mirror, and Joseph comes up from behind and bashes him in the face with the butt of his gun. He charges the gun with the Ripple to attack him.
