The Nijimura Brothers (1) (虹村兄弟 その1, Nijimura Kyodai Sono Ichi) is the seventy-seventh episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime and the third episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. It cover chapters Chapter 273 through Chapter 276 of the manga.
Summary
Jotaro interrogates Angelo as to how he acquired his Stand. Angelo tells him that when he was in prison, a man wearing a school uniform pierced him with an Arrow, yet he didn't die. The man said he "passed the test" of the Arrow and has gained a power called a Stand. While Jotaro and Josuke were listening to the story, Aqua Necklace escapes and threatens to smash a child's head. Josuke reacts quickly and "fixes" Angelo even further- fusing him with the rock permanently, all while saving the child.
A few days later, Koichi and Josuke stumble upon an abandoned house. When Koichi opens the gate, a student emerges from the house and slams the gate on his neck.
Jotaro arrives at Josuke's house and is welcomed by Tomoko, who thinks he is Joseph. Jotaro explains that he is not Joseph but his grandson. He asks Tomoko where Josuke is and she tells him that he is not back from school yet. While driving, Jotaro looks at a picture of Enya with a Bow and Arrow. The Speedwagon Foundation told him that Enya used the Bow and Arrow to create many Stands, including DIO's, The World. Jotaro realizes from the number of Stands in such a small town that someone in Morioh must have the Bow and Arrow.
The student reveals himself as Okuyasu Nijimura before his brother shoots Koichi with an Arrow; hoping to awaken his Stand. However, the arrow fatally pierces Koichi's flesh, causing him to quickly fall unconscious. Okuyasu stops Josuke from healing Koichi and fights him with his Stand, The Hand, which can erase space. Despite this intimidating power, Josuke flings flowerpots at Okuyasu: ultimately defeating him. Meanwhile, Jotaro comes across the revelation that Enya the Hag had the Bow and Arrow originally; which gave DIO his Stand. Jotaro vows to destroy the Arrow so there will never again be another Stand like The World.
Josuke then enters the Nijimura's house after Okuyasu's brother drags Koichi inside. It is then revealed that Okuyasu's brother is Keicho Nijimura.
