Tarkus and the Dark Knight Bruford, Part 4 (Chapter)

Curse of the Black Knight is the twenty-ninth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the twenty-ninth chapter of Part I: Phantom Blood.

Summary
Bruford, barely escaping Jonathan's Ripple with only a scratch, backflips back onto land and tells Jonathan that he wants to fight him on equal grounds, without handicaps, because he thinks Jonathan has the skill of a hero demonstrating his chivalry and pride. With a mighty battle cry, Bruford leaps towards Jonathan and uses his “Danse Macabre Hair” technique again. Jonathan tries to hold back the attack by countering with an Overdrive barrage, but this fails, and Jonathan becomes ensnared in Bruford's hair as it lifts his body off the ground and drains his blood by the use of Turgor movement.

Unable to transmit the Ripple through his hands or feet, Jonathan cannot prevent his blood from being drained by Bruford's hair. As Bruford's hair tightens around his body, he is losing the ability to draw breath. Speedwagon tries to go save Jonathan, but Tarkus suddently appears in front of him. Zeppeli confronts Tarkus, not knowing what he can do.

Jonathan, seemingly at the mercy of Bruford's hair, seems to be facing his end as Bruford draws his sword. Then, just as Bruford swings his sword, his hair loosens up just enough for Jonathan to kick the sword and transfer an Overdrive through it, causing Bruford's arm to fall out of its socket. While Bruford is still stunned, Jonathan uses the Sunlight Yellow Overdrive to strike back at Bruford.
