JJL Chapter 88
Summary
The chapter starts off with Jobin Higashikata and Tsurugi Higashikata under attack by Ojiro Sasame. His stand, Fun Fun Fun, has already taken control of the left hand, and continously tries to rub it off, calling it "dirt". The possessed hand opens the window to the room, and then smashes Tsurugi's face in with the phone he was currently holding. The hand is forcibly moved towards the window, after Tsurugi realizes that this is all due to Ojiro. The window shatters, and Jobin has to hold onto Tsurugi to prevent her from being more removed from the room.
Ojiro's hands descend from the roof, and place two of his "markers" on Jobin's hands, thereby possessing them. He then forces Jobin to choke Tsurugi, while pushing him towards the broken glass in the windowframe. Ojiro gives him two options, either strangling his own son, or pushing him into a piece of glass until something gets cut off. He then introduces an "option three", where Ojiro says that he's taken a video of the New Rokakaka Plant, and tells Jobin to give up any rights he has to the plant, that he's already "sent off" evidence of Jobin's alleged smuggling and money laundering, and that he now has all the evidence he needs to ruin Jobin.
He then asks Jobin how long it will take until the plant can be harvested. Jobin asks who Ojiro is and why he came here, but Ojiro responds that he wants to know when the plant will be harvested, or he'd kill him. Jobin finally relents, telling Ojiro that it will take three days until the plant can be harvested. Ojiro is satisfied with this answer, and asks Jobin to reveal his stand. He wants to know its range, and he says he won't do anything to it otherwise. Both Jobin and Tsurugi reveal Speed King and Paper Moon King, respectively, to Ojiro. Ojiro states that even though he has seen the stand, he can't figure out what it does, and since Speed King looks "pretty strong", he decides to crush both of their heads inside of the window, with glass going right into their skull and neck. Jobin and Tsurugi bleed out next to the window, and Ojiro enters the room to take the New Rokakaka plant.
Ojiro takes the phone and the plant, and he says that the plant was originally meant for Holly Joestar-Kira. He also says that it's a late present from his "old friend" Kira Yoshikage. After taking Jobin's wallet, he exclaims how lucky he is, and how lucky he was to meet Kira. Ojiro takes a taxi, and after being discontent with the A/C levels in the car, as well as claiming that the taxi driver stared at him a lot during the ride, throws a ¥10,000 bill at the driver and leaves the taxi.
As soon as he steps onto the sidewalk, he talks about how hot the weather is. When he looks at the money, which was tucked under his shirt, he finds that it "melted" into his flesh, with blisters appearing along his fingers, his head, and his tongue. He collapses onto the sidewalk, noting that the heat isn't coming from the bills, but rather himself. This heat travels throughout his face until it eventually "bursts" his eyeball. He falls down a set of stairs, with his false fingers falling off in the process.
The scene returns back to the Higashikata household, with Jobin and Tsurugi in a much less injured way. Jobin reveals that the glass and the bleeding was all due to Tsurugi and his "Paper Moon" stand ability. They both express worry over what will happen to the Higashikata household now that the Rokakaka plant has been stolen. Jobin assures Tsurugi that nothing was his fault, and that he has no reason to worry. He says that in a few minutes, he'll go and retrieve the flowerpot from wherever Ojiro is going to place it. However, he says that the real danger is the fact that he came out of the woodwork in the first place.
and her daughter both step foot into their house, looking for Ojiro. They can hear a phone as they step into the room, and her daughter continously calls for Ojiro, thinking that he is sleeping in. Makorin thinks about how reliable Ojiro has been in helping her get the land of the Higashikata Family. Makorin then picks up the phone (revealed to be Ojiro's own phone) from a lawn chair on the terrace.
Jobin, who is on the other line, states that he hears a woman's voice, and claims that this part is important. He also says he knows that the recipient of this call is the one who Ojiro was sending all of his blackmail to. After hearing all of this, Makorin starts going into a small panic attack, telling her daughter to hurry up and find Ojrio. Jobin then tells her that heat always flows from higher to lower, but his Speed King can "store up" heat and temperature in one place, and when that place is touched again, the heat is released and the temperature starts to flow. Makorin figures out that the caller on the other line is a Higashikata, but her lack of understanding of what Jobin has just said reveals the fact that she isn't a Stand User.
Jobin then says that even if she were a Stand User, he'd never let her family get off the hook. He decides to assume that she was Ojiro's girlfriend, since she's a woman, and blisters suddenly pop up on the left side of her face, causing severe bleeding bleeding through her nose and mouth. Her eyeball also "bursts", and she collapses into the pool, taking the phone with her. Makorin becomes incapictated at the bottom of the pool, eventually drowning to her death.
The scene returns to Jobin, who has just hung up the call, as he picks up the New Rokakaka plant, and walks home. The time to the harvest of the Rokakaka plant is: 3 Days, 1 Hour, and 19 Minutes.
