Yellow Temperance, Part 2 (Chapter)

Yellow Temperance (2) is the one-hundred-thirty-seventh chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the twenty-fourth chapter of Part III: Stardust Crusaders.

Summary
Noriaki Kakyoin asks Jotaro Kujo why he was angry, as he just punished a criminal. He excuses himself for his impatience, explaining that he is tired of the trip. Jotaro goes to buy tickets and Kakyoin stays behind with his coconut. Anne sees Kakyoin devouring something and assumes he really likes coconuts, but is surprised when she sees a Hercules Beetle inside his mouth. She disregards it, telling herself it was probably just the coconut shell. However, she notices the beetles vanished from the tree they were and hugs Jotaro, frightened. Kakyoin just looks at her while saying he loves coconuts.

The three decide to take a cable car, and Kakyoin suddenly tries to push Jotaro from the building after taking a cherry from him. Jotaro manages to prevent himself from falling. Kakyoin starts licking the cherry while making "rero" sounds, saying he's just kidding and can't understand why Jotaro is so mad over a simple joke. Jotaro punches Kakyoin, causing his jaw to almost fall off, and realizes then that he is not the real Kakyoin.

The man presents himself as Rubber Soul, the stand user of the Stand Yellow Temperance, which can assimilate flesh and eventually make him bigger, explaining that that is why he is growing taller the more he eats. He warns Jotaro that a piece of Yellow Temperance attached itself to his hand after the punch and will slowly consume him. Meanwhile, Ann calls Joseph and tells him what is happening. Faced with the danger of being devoured by the Stand, Jotaro jumps out of the cable car.
