Red Hot Chili Pepper, Part 2 (レッド·ホット·チリ·ペッパー その2, Reddo Hotto Chiri Peppā Sono 2) is the eighty-sixth episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime and the twelfth episode of Diamond Is Unbreakable. It covers Chapter 311 through Chapter 314 of the manga.

Summary

Jotaro and Okuyasu head off to rendezvous with Joseph's ship while Josuke and Koichi stay on the docks, where they are confronted by Chili Pepper's user, Akira Otoishi. Otoishi hides Chili Pepper in the underground wires to launch surprise attacks on Josuke from all directions, but Josuke manages to turn the surrounding concrete back into coal tar, allowing him to predict Chili Pepper's movements. Angered, Otoishi uses all the electricity in Morioh Town in order to power Chili Pepper up. However, Josuke manages to trap Chili Pepper in a tire and trick into bursting out, causing the air inside to blow him into the ocean where he disperses. Otoishi manages to survive and sneak onto Joseph's boat disguised as a member of the Speedwagon Foundation, but Okuyasu manages to stop him, allowing Josuke to finally meet his father.

Manga/Anime Differences

• The detailed descriptions of Akira's guitar aren't mentioned.
• An extra scene depicting an unseen Killer picking up a woman's severed hand in the shower is added.
  • In addition, the Killer can be spotted very briefly from behind amongst a crowd during Chili Pepper's electricity drainage of the town.
• Removed Otoishi's line about piercing the tire as easily as he would a condom.

Trivia

• The title of this episode was changed to "Chili Pepper, Part 2" by Warner Bros. Animation's American branch to avoid possible legal action.
• Coincidentally, the band Red Hot Chili Peppers released a new album titled The Getaway the same day this episode debuted.
• During Akira's guitar solo, he uses right-hand tapping to create the words "I'm Gonna Kill Your Mamas Too" using sound. This phrase is a subtle reference to the Frank Zappa song, "My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama".
