Chapter 51
Straizo VS Joseph (4), originally Cold and Cruel, Straizo in the WSJ release, is the fifty-first chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the seventh chapter of Battle Tendency.
Summary
Joseph quickly runs down the street to get some distance from Straizo, but is stopped by a man named Bruto. Bruto tries to apprehend Joseph for destroying the Cafe, but Joseph easily incapacitates him with a kick to the face. Meanwhile, Straizo, after fully recovering from the explosion, takes after Joseph by jumping from the second floor.
Joseph and Smokey stop at the Brooklyn Bridge, assuming they were to able to escape. Smokey offers Joseph a smoke, but is cut short as Straizo reveals himself on top of the bridge holding an unnamed reporter as a hostage. Straizo threatens to hurt the woman if Joseph does not comply to a duel. Joseph nonchalantly rejects the threat, mentioning that he doesn't even know the girl, nor was she of any relation to him. Straizo ends up tearing a tooth out of the girl's mouth, which causes Joseph to go into an aggravated state. He rips his outer shirt off and commences a showdown with Straizo on top of the bridge.
Straizo begins by firing another ripper eyes beam, but Joseph anticipated the attack; pulling out two shot glasses, he's able to block one of the beams from his hitting his forehead and fires it back at Straizo who takes a blast to the head from it. He is momentarily stunned, but soon gets back up and launches himself at Joseph. Charging the ripple into his left hand, Joseph punches Straizo in the face and ends the battle.
