Chapter 30

Sleep as a Hero (Sleeping as a Hero in the JoJonium release) is the thirtieth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the thirtieth chapter of Part I: Phantom Blood.

Summary
Bruford has survived the Sunlight Yellow Overdrive and proceeds to attack Jonathan. He only barely cuts Jonathan's cheek, because Jonathan did not try to dodge the oncoming attack. Jonathan then asks if Bruford can feel pain, because he is undead and therefore should not be able to. As Jonathan asks the question, flowers start to bloom under Bruford's feet and around him. Zeppeli comes to the conclusion that the Ripple revived Bruford's true human soul.

Being able to fight a great man such as Jonathan gives Bruford peace, and he feels that he is ready to meet his queen. One of Bruford's last requests is for Jonathan to speak his name to him. Jonathan tells Bruford his name, and in return, Bruford gives Jonathan his sword, “Luck”. Before he hands it over, Bruford writes the letter P with his blood, changing the sword's name to “Pluck”. With that last act, Bruford turns into dust. Moved by his actions, Jonathan recognizes Bruford's honor and his hate for Dio is renewed.

Not long after this, Tarkus disrespects his partner’s grave by stepping on Bruford's breastplate with his foot and bending it out of shape, calling him a "disgrace". Tarkus then hurls the debris at Zeppeli, who tries to block the debris with a ripple shield, but some of the fragments end up hurting him anyway.
