New York, 1938. Nearly fifty years have passed since the tragic demise of Jonathan Joestar, only slightly softened by the fact that his family's bloodline still lives on. Now, the elderly and widowed Erina Pendleton and her sole grandson, Joseph Joestar, have arrived in the Big Apple to meet with old friend and current oil baron Robert E.O. Speedwagon about some recent news of interest. However, matters of a similary important, if not unrelated concern, may wind up being the end of him and the start of a new evil to be faced...
The above episode technically premiered last week, but is being covered today because, for those of you daring to stay up during Santa's cross-country trip around the planet, Toonami is giving you a JoJo's marathon. Starting from the midpoint of the Phantom Blood arc, marking Jonathan and his posse's arrival in Wind Knight's Lot, and ending with the premiere of Battle Tendency, as I just described to you above. And book-ending this marathon of six episodes is a special Christmas treat from the crew: the world premiere of Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner's quarter-hour animated short film about a stranded space crew trapped on a planet of creatures most definitely alien. Check out Scavengers, tonight at midnight and again at 3:15.
