Stardust Crusaders - Chapter 78 [191]
Summary
Oingo approaches the Joestar group's car so that he can place a bomb hidden within an orange in it that when detonated will split Jotaro's face in half, as foretold by Tohth's prophecy. Oingo enters the car to place the orange, but Joseph and Polnareff spot him. However, by using Khnum, Oingo is able to disguise himself as Jotaro. The two feel suspicion towards "Jotaro," but Oingo is able to lie his way through and gain their trust. Joseph and Polnareff were planning on going to the hospital to visit their injured friends so Polnareff told "Jotaro" to come with them. This causes Oingo to panic, for if he rides in the car with Jotaro's face then the prophecy will affect him instead. Oingo tries to get away but Polnareff forces him into the car.
Joseph begins driving to the hospital, with Polnareff in the front seat and Oingo in the back with the bomb orange. Oingo immediately throws the orange out the window in an attempt to save himself. However, fate is not so kind and Iggy suddenly jumps into the car with the bomb orange in his mouth. "Jotaro" screams in panic, the pure emotion found in his voice shocking the group. Oingo tries to cover up, but Joseph and Polnareff are becoming aware of the situation. Polnareff tries to get "Jotaro" to do a trick involving flipping five lit cigarettes into his mouth. He manages to pull it off, but when asked to drink some juice at the same time he completely fails. With fate against him, Oingo believes he has no chance of surviving this encounter.
