Straizo vs. Joseph (1) (ストレイツォVSジョセフ その①, Sutoreitso Bāsasu Josefu Sono 1), originally Straizo's Ambition (ストレイツォの野望, Sutoreitso no Yabō) in the WSJ release, is the forty-eighth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the fourth chapter of Battle Tendency.

Summary

Joseph and Erina are shocked at the news of Speedwagon, the gangster explains that his corpse has been found and receives a punch in the stomach from Joseph, who is angry that he startled Erina. Erina grimly declares that the curse of the Stone Mask is still following them even 50 years after.

In the Mexican temple, one night earlier, Straizo confides to Speedwagon, who contrary to what everyone believes is still alive, that he believes that the man in the pillar is the creator of the Stone Masks, and that he must be ancient. When Speedwagon asks Straizo why he did this, Straizo answers that he wants the power of the Stone Mask because he envies the eternal youth and powers of Dio Brando. After activating one of the them, he becomes a vampire himself and sets out to find Joseph. He heads to New York in order to kill the last people who are aware of the power of the Stone Mask.

In the now, Joseph and Smokey are sitting together at a café, when Joseph spots Straizo outside. The young man confronts Straizo, and as soon as the monk reveals his fangs, Joseph reveals a Tommy gun and sprays bullets into the vampire. Straizo is sent inside the cafe through a window as Joseph declares war on him.
