Light Mode Kars (Story Arc)
Light Mode Kars (光・流法 カーズ, Hikari Nagare Hō Kāzu) is the ninth story arc in Battle Tendency.
Summary
Kars has now the disabled Stroheim at his mercy. As Joseph ponders on whatever he should fight or run after seeing Stroheim defeated and Kars' Light Mode which he doesn't see a counter of, the Pillar proceeds to take the Red Stone of Aja from the cyborg. Still defiant, Stroheim retaliates with a UV laser fired from his right bionic eye. Surprised, Kars drops the Aja Stone. The pendant begins to slide down the snowy slope towards a cliff. Caesar, Lisa Lisa and Messina arrive in time to witness Joseph and Kars begin to race toward the cliff. Because Kars doesn't fear jumping down the cliff, his pace is faster and he reaches the Red Stone first. Joseph launches a kick, which Kars has predicted and evades, grabbing the pendant's chain with his shoe. However, Joseph merely aimed at the snow and kicked it to both send snow into Kars' eye and brake himself. Kars instinctively protects his eye and Joseph manages to grab the Stone. However, a blade sprouts from the Pillar Man's leg and hooks Joseph. The two men then begin to fall down the ravine.
The two men both fall down a ravine as Joseph attempts to use his Ripple to grab an icicle before Kars knocks it down to continue their 175 meter death plunge. Joseph attempts to send a Ripple to Kars, but Kars knocks JoJo into a wall and tries to slash the human. But Joseph uses the Super Aja as protection before using his Ripple to connect a series of icicles and form a rope-like shape, with Caesar instinctively forming the other end. holding the other end. At the bottom of the ravine, rebounding himself to avoid landing on a flower, Kars laughs manically before allowing Joseph to keep the stone for one more day.
