Synopsis
Due to one of the plane's engines mysteriously exploding, the pilots are forced to crash land into the sea. Everybody survives, and they come across a large ship which has a name: "Strength". They board the ship and see that it is seemingly deserted, only finding an orangutan locked in a cage. They head back to the deck and then hear music playing inside the ship. They investigate and find Jean Pierre Polnareff waiting for them. Polnareff makes it clear that he's working for Dio, so Avdol challenges him to a Stand battle. |
Polnareff reveals his Stand, Silver Chariot, which fights with Magician's Red. Despite being able to reflect the Stand's flames, Avdol uses the cross fire hurricane technique, which hits Silver Chariot and defeats it. However the attack actually only melts Silver Chariot's armor, and Polnareff is able to resume fighting. Without the armor, Silver Chariot is able to move at much greater speeds, so much so that it looks like there are multiples of the Stand. Avdol manages to defeat Polnareff by using a variation of the cross fire hurricane, which has flames blast out of the floor. Polnareff is defeated but is spared, but then the ship starts to attack the group, killing the two pilots. It is revealing that the entire ship is actually a Stand, and the orangutan, Forever, is its user. |
Jotaro fights with Forever, but Polnareff is the one who kills the ape by attacking him from behind and slicing him in two. The Stand transforms into a much smaller boat, which the group use to head to India. Polnareff asks Joseph to remove his glove, wanting to see that his left hand isn't a right one. Joseph does so, and Polnareff says that his sister was murdered by a man with two right hands. |
He had met Dio and made a deal with him -he was to kill Jotaro's group in exchange for information from Dio, who claimed to know who had killed his sister. He decides he'll join with Jotaro's group, believing that if they find Dio, he'll be able to find out more about the man he is looking for. He then starts to go on about how Egyptian women are so mysterious, prompting the rest of the group to question how Polnareff's mood can change so quickly. In Egypt, Enya tells Dio not to concern himself over Polnareff's betrayal. The Emperor and the Hanged Man are heading to India, and she is certain that the Hanged Man's user, J. Geil, will kill them all -as he is her son! |
-In the manga, Jotaro's group are on a commercial plane, where they encounter Gray Fly, and his Stand, Tower of Gray. Kakyoin defeats him, but the plane ends up crashing anyway due to Tower of Gray killing the pilots. In the episode, there is no enemy Stand encounter on the plane. |
-The orangutan is not actually named, and was not named in the manga either. However, in the Playstation port of Capcom's arcade JoJo fighting game, one screen lists his name as "Forever". Other media has also used this name. |
