Chapter 140

The Emperor and the Hanged Man (1) is the one-hundred-fortieth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the twenty-seventh chapter of Part III: Stardust Crusaders.

Summary
The group is finally crossing India, but are worried about the place, known for having beggars, thieves, curry-eating and disease-ridden people. Mohammed Avdol assures them that it is a nice country and all these stories are false. However, the group is surprised to see that all of these stories were actually true: Jean Pierre Polnareff steps in cow's feces; Noriaki Kakyoin's wallet is stolen and Joseph Joestar's taxi stops in the middle of the road because of a napping cow, which is considered a holy animal in India. Avdol, however, doesn't see a problem in anything and tells them that India is a beautiful country once you get used to it, to which Jotaro agrees.

Polnareff goes to the bathroom and is given a stick to use. Confused as to why he would need one, he finds a pig sticking its head out of the toilet. One of the employees informs Polnareff that the bathroom was built with a pig sty right underneath it. He shows Polnareff how to use the stick: he hits the pig to make it retreat back into its sty. He tells Polnareff that, according to his boss, he can let the pigs lick his ass to become cleaner. Disgusted, Polnareff decides to hold it until they get to the hotel.

As he washes his hands, Polnareff looks into the mirror and is surprised by a Stand with two right hands that he can only see in the mirror. Determined to avenge his sister, killed by the user of this Stand, Polnareff breaks the mirror and searches for the Stand user among the crowd.
