Lovers, Part 3 (Chapter)

Lovers (3) is the one-hundred-sixty-second chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the forty-ninth chapter of Part III: Stardust Crusaders.

Summary
Steely Dan explains his Stand, Lovers is the weakest but is still deadly. If he were hit by a car, a baseball, or trip up, Joseph would feel the effects several times the effect. He demonstrates by cracking his knuckles, and Joseph feels the effect on his fake hand. In 10 minutes, Joseph would die like Enya. Jotaro tries to kill the Stand user, but Kakyoin stops him fearing what will happen. Steely then tries to coax Jotaro into attacking him. Knowing he won't attack, Steely punches Jotaro in the gut, then hits him on the head with a rock. After the old man dies, The Lovers would enter into Jotaro and kill him. Joseph tries to think of a plan, and runs off with Polnareff and Kakyoin, with the latter warning Jotaro to keep Steely away. Steely plans to make Jotaro follow him around town until Joseph dies. When Jotaro declares he will make his oppressor pay, Steely steals Jotaro's wallet and watch.

At a TV store, Joseph uses Hermit Purple to look inside his body. He finds Lovers inside his brain trying to plant a spore. Polnareff and Kakyoin shrink their Stands and send them inside Joseph's brain to search.

Meanwhile, at a ditch, Steely Dan plans to crossover, but if he tried to jump, he could twist his ankle, also hurting Joseph. He wants Jotaro to be a man-bridge as it would be exhausting to walk to a bridge, but when the Star Platinum user does not respond, Steely kicks his leg on a fire hydrant, hurting Joseph badly. Steely then enjoys the pleasure of a strong bridge he made of Jotaro, much to his displeasure.
