Sleep as a Hero (Chapter)

Sleep As A Hero is the thirtieth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the thirtieth chapter of Part I: Phantom Blood.

Summary
Incredibly, Bruford seems to have survived the Sunlight Yellow Overdrive and still proceeds to attack Jonathan but he only barely cuts Jonathan's cheek since Jonathan did not try to dodge the oncoming attack. Jonathan then inquires about Bruford feeling pain because since he is undead he should not be able to feel pain. Miraculously just as Jonathan asks the question flowers start to bloom under Bruford's feet and around him Zeppeli coming to the conclusion that the Ripple revived Bruford's true human soul.

Feeling peace from being able to fight a great man such as Jonathan Bruford feels that he is ready to meet his queen. One of Bruford's last requests though is for Jonathan to speak his name to him. Jonathan tells Bruford his name and in return, Bruford gives Jonathan his sword “Luck”. However, before he hands it completely over Bruford writes the letter P with his blood changing the swords name to “Pluck”. With that last act, Bruford then turns into dust. Moved by this action Jonathan recognizes Bruford's honor and his hate for Dio is renewed.

Then suddenly Tarkus disrespects his partner’s grave by stepping on Bruford's breastplate with his foot bending it out of shape while calling him a disgrace. Tarkus then hurls the debris at Zeppeli who tries to block the debris with a ripple shield but some of the fragments end up damaging him anyway.
