Episode 11

Master of the Game (ゲームの達人) is the eleventh episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime. It is also the second episode of Battle Tendency. It covers Chapter 49 through Chapter 53 of the manga.

Joseph must fight Straizo, who has turned into a Vampire. Meanwhile, Speedwagon has been captured by the Nazis, who plan on experimenting on the Pillar Man.

Summary
Although Joseph has unloaded a on Straizo, the Vampire easily recovers from the attack and then shoots a pressurized jet of aqueous humour at Joseph, mirroring Dio's old attack and dubbing it the "Space Ripper Stingy Eyes". However, Straizo has only hit a mirror and Joseph comes from behind to smash Straizo with his Ripple-infused gun. Straizo absorbs it using a scarf woven from beetle muscles, but Joseph manages to sneak some grenades onto his body and tricks him into making them all explode before he can react.

Despite being blown apart, the Vampire pulls himself back together. Thus Joseph and Smokey do the unexpected and actually run away until they reach Brooklyn Bridge. Straizo catches up with them and takes a woman hostage in order to goad Joseph into fighting him. When Straizo actually hurts the woman by ripping out a tooth, Joseph is enraged and goes to confront him. Straizo once again attacks with the Space Ripper Stingy Eyes, but Joseph manages to reflect it back at him using Ripple charged shot glasses. Joseph finishes Straizo off with a punch and sends him flying off the bridge. Before he falls though, Joseph grabs his hand. He tries to get information out of him, but Straizo warns Joseph about a Pillar Man who will soon awaken before self-destructing himself with his own Ripple.

Meanwhile, it is revealed Speedwagon is alive and being held captive in Mexico, in a hacienda where a German military officer named Rudol von Stroheim interrogates him about the Pillar Man, which they have excavated from the cave and intend to revive. Holding a group of Mexicans prisoner, Stroheim arranges a blood feeding to the Pillar Man. In the panic, a boy volunteers, and the major orders the other prisoners to be executed. Meanwhile, Joseph also makes his way to Mexico, unaware that he is being followed by a strange assassin.
