CHAPTER 142: CHAPTER 142: JOHNNY’S FINAL END

~Projection of All Worlds~

This horse race, which everyone originally thought was ordinary, left an indelible mark on everyone’s hearts! For some reason, when the time for farewell truly arrived, a myriad of emotions stirred within them!

"Tears... Waaah! After this long journey, Johnny has finally obtained the Holy Corpse parts that belong only to him..."

"Gyro never blamed Johnny’s choices, even in their final farewell... If that’s the case, then so be it. How many people can possess the same spirit as him?"

"This battle, which shouldn’t have belonged to him, he still participated in for Johnny’s sake! Even in death, he continued to guide Johnny’s growth!"

Gyro’s spirit was always like a light in the pitch-black wilderness, leading Johnny to keep moving forward.

~Gabriel DropOut World~

"I wonder if there’s a heaven in that world?"

Gabriel, not yet fallen, put her hands together, striking a prayerful pose.

"I hope Mr. Gyro can go to heaven and enjoy peace."

In the video, Gyro Zeppeli, after his death, slowly flew upwards into a golden cloud, bidding farewell to Johnny, making Gabriel believe that someone like Mr. Gyro could definitely go to heaven.

~Jujutsu Kaisen World, Future Timeline~

"Passing away surrounded by companions.... "

The words Grandpa spoke before his death echoed in Yuji’s ears! At this moment, he finally understood the true meaning of those words...

’No one knows which side the tennis ball that bounces from the bottom will land on.’ Gyro’s words seemed to have profound meaning. Johnny, forced into a desperate situation, wasn’t he like a tennis ball that had hit rock bottom and bounced back up again!

Although he always tells boring jokes, it’s undeniable that he was an excellent teacher.

~Type-Moon World, Magical Girl Illya Worldline~

"I didn’t expect the final result to be Gyro’s death?!"

Illya felt a little sad, continuing, "

Johnny, who was left behind, must be so sad?! They supported each other all the way and finally made it here! But now..."

Watching Johnny constantly and painfully saying sorry to Gyro when he finally defeated the President, she inexplicably felt a pang of heartache!

Johnny also wanted to believe what the President said; he also wanted Gyro to be resurrected! But Johnny also knew that someone like the President would never let them go, nor did he have any intention of resurrecting Gyro!

~JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Part 7: Steel Ball Run Worldline~

"Gyro...!! Waaah...!"

At this moment, Johnny’s tears fell uncontrollably again. He didn’t expect that the Corpse Parts he wanted to seize would actually kill Gyro...

"Hey... Johnny!!"

Unlike the crying Johnny, Gyro Zeppeli looked at his death on the screen with an incredibly calm expression.

"The final result... we won, didn’t we?"

Hearing Gyro’s words, Johnny turned his head to look at Gyro, his voice choked with emotion,

"But... Gyro! This isn’t the result I wanted! I wanted the Saint’s Corpse Parts... but I didn’t want you to die."

Then Johnny seemed to make a decision, taking a deep breath to calm his emotions,

"Let’s give up... I don’t want to fight for the Saint’s Corpse Parts anymore!"

"Johnny! Have you forgotten something?"

Gyro’s expression remained unchanged, continuing calmly,

"The essence of Lesson 5... the perfect Cavalry Spin, we already know it! Can we still lose to the President now?"

As he spoke, Gyro suddenly tightened his grip on the Steel Ball, the Spin power brewing in his hand, urging his horse forward. In Johnny’s eyes, Gyro and the horse’s every part formed a perfect Golden Rectangle.

As Gyro swung the Steel Ball towards the tree in front, [ Ball Breaker ] emerged from his body again. This strike completely flattened the area in front of him, then he retracted the Steel Ball and looked at Johnny!

"Since my Ball Breaker has already appeared, then it won’t be difficult for your Tusk ACT4 to appear again!"

"We already know the President’s ability, and we have a way to break it! This time, who wins is still uncertain!"

"Johnny, go! go! go!"

Gyro, running in front, had already made the choice for him before Johnny could answer. Johnny wiped away the tears in his eyes and spurred his horse to catch up.

So the two embarked on a new journey; this time, they would not lose again.

Gyro and Johnny rode their horses, then suddenly stopped, discovering a key problem...

"Johnny... it seems this video isn’t over yet!"

At this moment, everyone outside the video also noticed something unusual!

"Why hasn’t the next countdown started yet? Is there some new twist?"

"Could it be that the President isn’t dead yet?!! The Saint’s Corpse Parts battle isn’t over yet? Logically speaking, the next countdown should have started by now."

Just as everyone was discussing the unusual situation, they found that the originally darkened screen continued to play.

[ After the Steel Ball Run race, Johnny met Norisuke Higashikata’s daughter, Rina Higashikata. The two quickly fell in love, got married, and lived a life of bliss on the ranch. Johnny also became a nationally certified and famous jockey after that. ]

[ ..... ]

~Projection of All Worlds~

"So it’s describing the development after the battle, scared me, I thought the President had come back to life..."

"But it’s not bad that Johnny has such a good ending, a happy and fulfilling family life, living a life of bliss."

Everyone who was worried also breathed a sigh of relief, revealing an auntie smile. They didn’t expect Johnny, who loves to cry, to actually be able to find a wife; it really exceeded their expectations.

[ But after a few years, Rina contracted a strange disease. At first, it was just memory loss, but in the later stages, her entire appearance changed.

There were origami-like creases on her face!

Johnny visited famous doctors everywhere, but couldn’t find a cure. Seeing that his wife’s days were numbered, Johnny decided to send her back to Japan, so that his wife could return to her roots and end her life in her hometown. ]

[ ..... ]

~Projection of All Worlds~

"Johnny has had enough suffering, I didn’t expect him to not even be able to protect his wife in the end."

"Does this goddess of misfortune have to push Johnny to the brink? There’s always a despairing misfortune descending on him."

~Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline~

~Chaldea~

"What’s going on?"

Doctor Roman was confused, but he absolutely didn’t believe it was a coincidence! There must be some secret they haven’t discovered yet influencing all of this.

"...And I searched the previous records... I’ve never found such a strange disease! Rather than a disease, it’s more like a curse."

~JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Part 7: Steel Ball Run Worldline~

"I... got married?! And have a son?!"

Johnny stared blankly at everything. He couldn’t believe that someone like him would actually have a family.

Watching his future self beg the Saint’s Corpse Parts to transfer the disease from his wife, but it was transferred to his son, tears couldn’t help but burst out again.

"Why... is it like this?!"

~JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Part 8: JoJolion Worldline~

Looking at the result Johnny got after begging the Saint’s Corpse Parts, Wonder of U, still said in a deep voice.

"I said long ago, even if a saint walks unerringly on the right path, bad things will still happen occasionally, and cannot be avoided, that is calamity!"

"The most likely time for a traveler to have an accident is the moment he is about to return home!"

[ "Aaaaaah...!!" Johnny collapsed on the spot, then cried and picked up the child, galloping towards the shrine.

From the moment he stole the Corpse Parts, he was already prepared to lose everything. But he still didn’t expect that his son would be a victim of this.

If the price of saving his family is that someone must die. Then Johnny would rather that person be himself!

"The Saint’s Corpse Parts can’t be used anymore, otherwise innocent people will suffer."

Looking at the child in his arms, Johnny actually showed a gratified expression, "George Joestar... It’s enough for me to see you at the last moment."

Because family is happiness that nothing can replace, at least running so far is to prevent his wife from seeing his next actions.

In the darkness, Johnny had already silently built up the Golden Spin bomb, piercing through his son’s head, and after a spin, it pierced through him!

The symptoms of the child’s disease were also sent to Johnny himself by the infinitely spinning bullet holes. As the father and son fell off the horse, the child returned to normal!

While his consciousness had not completely disappeared, Johnny used the Spin power to mobilize the mountains and rocks, and let the boulder flatten his head, in order to prevent his wife from seeing the corpse, knowing that he had transferred the virus to himself, and therefore blaming himself.

But no one noticed that the ginkgo leaves under him also showed abnormalities under the influence of the Spin power and the shadow of the Saint’s Corpse Parts!

His wife then arrived, and the American government’s pursuers also arrived one after another. Seeing that Johnny was dead, these people did not make things difficult for the mother and son, and took the Corpse Parts back to the United States!

The story of Johnny Joestar also ends here! ]

[ ..... ]

~Projection of All Worlds~

"I didn’t expect it to be such an ending... without a doubt he is a good father and also a good husband!"

"Even after a few years, Johnny is still the same crying person... but he is no longer the boy with a dark will."

~JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable Worldline~

"Since he can use the Golden Spin to transfer the pain to himself, according to Johnny’s character, he should have just found someone to bear it."

Koichi said to everyone, stating his understanding.

Jotaro Kujo looked at the distant sky, not knowing what he was thinking, and slowly said,

"That boy with a dark Determination finally grew into a man with a golden spirit."

Humans are really too small, no matter how strong they are, even if they have the strongest spear-like Stand, Tusk ACT4, there will be times when they cannot choose.

Only now did everyone understand that Johnny Joestar grew from negative to zero, and now he has surpassed zero and completely become positive!

The boy with a dark determination has grown to a height that is difficult for everyone to reach!

Johnny Joestar finally went to heaven and met Gyro...
