JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part II: Battle Tendency

Esidisi:
You said, "Victory is assured before the battle is even fought." Well, it's true..True..TRUE!

[Joseph starts laughing.]

Esidisi:
Are you really laughing as I'm about to deal you an excruciating death? Have you been driven completely insane by the fear?

Joseph:
Well, let's see here. You'll notice my arms are folded and my eyes are closed, so this laugh would be one of victory, Esidisi. You're the loser here today because for the last 2000 years, you have been asleep at the wheel.

Esidisi:
I lost?! What do you mean by that?!

Joseph:
Oh, really? You don't get it? You can't read me as clearly as you thought you could? Let me help you understand just how badly you've underestimated me. You said that your plans went deep, well, they didn't go nearly as deep as mine. While you were snoozing for the past 2000 years, humans have progressed. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Legerdemain, or sleight of hand became a very popular form of entertainment. I'm a really big fan of myself. Illusion is my thing!

Esidisi:
But... I cut all those strings! I cut them! It can't be!

Joseph:
I'd say the rope magic worked. I laid my trap carefully, so that even if the string was cut, it would still function. A simple trick. What you’re going to say next is: “My veins will move faster than your pathetic Hamon can possibly go!” Now!

Esidisi:
My veins will move faster than your pathetic Hamon can possibly go!

Joseph:
Now feel the beat of my Hamon Overdrive!

Esidisi:
I can't... I can't... You're only a human. I am the evolved one, the highest life form! I will not be beaten! Now that you've pushed me too far!

[As Esidisi's body explodes.]

Joseph:
Esidisi's body is shooting some kind of strange energy. That must come from living for Millennia. Die already! Die with the power of life you stole from thousands of innocent human beings! My instructor, I thank you for torturing me. Mille Grazie to you, Loggins.
