Chapter 72

The Training of A Ripple Warrior is the seventy-second chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the twenty-eighth chapter of Part II: Battle Tendency.

Summary
Caesar is shocked at Lisa Lisa’s appearance realizing that Lisa Lisa will teach him and Joseph for the next month. Joseph though is more aggravated at Lisa Lisa’s surprise attack and goes to try to defeat her but Lisa Lisa is unfazed by Josephs natural ability to walk on water without training and proceeds with an elaborate counter. Using only an oar and the water, she elevates the oar between two geysers of water and swings off it putting a mask on Joseph in his awe.

Joseph then questions why he cannot breathe with the mask on and Lisa Lisa then says that the breathing mask is his challenge for his training month. She explains that the mask promotes proper ripple breathing patterns and that she wants Joseph to be able to run 100 kilometers with the mask on saying that she will only take the mask off Joseph so he can eat and brush his teeth. Joseph is both irritated and angered by this, but he admits to himself that she is greatly skilled with the ripple.

After getting her point across, Lisa Lisa then welcomes Joseph and Caesar to Venice; as she does this Joseph does not bow his head like Caesar does, but Caesar forces him to do so out of respect. Lisa Lisa then points out Air Supplena Island, her home and the location of much of Joseph and Caesars training.

When the three arrive at Air Supplena, Lisa Lisa tells Joseph and Caesar to climb the Hell climb pillar to Caesars fear and objection. She then kicks the both of them down to the bottom of the tower where they land in a sea of oil; Lisa Lisa tells them that if they cannot climb the oily tower, they will die.
