Chapter 98

The Wind, the Chariot, and Wamuu, Part 4 (風と戦車とワムウ その④), originally in the WSJ release, is the fifty-fourth chapter of Battle Tendency and the ninety-eighth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga.

Summary
The crowd in the arena chants Wamuu's name in anticipation for the race. The race around the nine hundred sixty meter long track will be ridden on chariots pulled by Vampire Horses, capable of going sixty kilometers an hour (roughly thirty-seven miles per hour). The first to pass each lap will be given a weapon, the first being a two-handed war hammer. Once the clouds move out of the way of the moon and it becomes fully visible, the race will begin.

Moments before the race's beginning, while everyone looked to the moon, Joseph scattered rubble under Wamuu's chariot wheel, causing it to stutter when the race starts. JoJo, being in the lead, passes the first lap and grabs the war hammer. With this JoJo believes he has the upper hand but doesn't realize Wamuu is plotting something.
