Chapter 161

The Lovers (2) is the one-hundred-sixty-first chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the forty-eighth chapter of Part III: Stardust Crusaders.

Summary
To prevent Enya Gail's death by Dio's bud spore, Jean Pierre Polnareff slices its tentacles with Silver Chariot, but it is too late. As Enya struggles to stay alive, Joseph Joestar asks her what the ability of Dio's Stand is, trying to convince her by saying how Dio never trusted her. Enya, however, denies Steely Dan is actually working for Dio, refusing to believe that Dio would betray her. She dies without revealing the secret of Dio's Stand.

Polnareff says that he had mixed feelings for Enya, but he's sure Steely Dan must die. Steely Dan, however, acts like nothing is happening and sits down to drink a cup of tea, telling them he can't be touched. He is interrupted in mid-sentence by Jotaro Kujo, who hits him with a barrage of  punches. As Steely Dan flies away from the attack, so does Joseph. Steely Dan pays a kid to hit him with a broomstick, causing Joseph to feel more pain. It is revealed that Steely Dan's Stand, Lovers, had been inside Joseph's brain the whole time, returning any damage its user suffered. The kid hits Steely Dan again, but is paid back with a punch to the face from an angry Steely Dan, who tells him he never paid to be hit twice.
