So the reason why the thugs from last chapter gave the Josuke/Joushuu duo that package becomes clear: They're making an elaborate drug trade with the big-breasted girl using the leaves! Furthermore, it turns out the two guys standing near her were policemen, and when they advance on the protagonists during the trade, Josuke steps on the leaves again and unknowingly attacks both cops. Meanwhile, the girl drops her wallet on the leaves (which go to those three thugs, she takes the package, and escapes. However, when the dealers check the wallet's contents.... it turns out to be empty! It's revealed that Joushuu, having figured out the mechanics of the mysterious leaves, swiped the money from the wallet and ran away while the cops are restraining Josuke. However, during the struggle, Gappy notices something strange about those leaves:
As for Joushuu, while he's busy running away with the stolen money, he notices some screws in his hands. The thugs, having realized that they were tricked, use the leaves to catch Joushuu, and are ready to cut him up in revenge. However, as one of the thugs brings the knife down to his face, something
most unusual happens:
That's right:
JOUSHUU'S STAND POWER HAS FINALLY AWAKENED!!!
And it seems like an interesting one, too! Being able to screw/unscrew objects..... that sounds like it can be really useful, IMO. Can't wait to find out the stand's name, though.....
Oh, and I love this panel of the Jojos from this chapter (happens right after that girl flashes her legs at them):
^Really reminds me of some of the crazy expressions we saw in the old part 4. Makes me
real tempted to make this my next avatar, too.
