JJL Chapter 74

Poor Tom and Ozon Baby, Part 3 (プアー・トムとオゾン・ベイビー その③) is the nine hundred twenty first chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga and the seventy-fourth chapter of JoJolion.

Summary
As Jobin and Tsurugi are trapped in their storage room, Daiya and Hato lay unconscious just outside, as they have suffered the brunt of Ozon Baby's power after opening the storage room's door to investigate the ruckus. Assuming that the same is happening to his father and Joshu, Jobin convinces Tsurugi to cooperate with him in order to kill Poor Tom. Explaining the dangers of exposing oneself to very high pressure to his son, Jobin devises a plan that will permit them to act without leaving their shelter.

Meanwhile, Poor Tom is at a woman's home who he met in a parking lot earlier, performing cunnilingus on her. The woman's phone suddenly rings, and she passes it to Poor Tom, who answers the call. It is Jobin who shows him the Higashikata orchard on fire and exposing Poor Tom's plan to still retrieve the Rokakaka. Panicking, Poor Toom immediately heads for the Higashikata's estate. Witnessing the fire, Tsurugi exclaims that the fruit will burn but Jobin is certain that the impending doom of the branch will spur everyone into action. Thus, he instructs his son to create an origami fire truck which he soaks in oil and sets on fire, fueling the blaze. He then waits for Josuke and the plant appraiser's response.

Meanwhile, Josuke and Rai suffer from Ozon Baby's power inside their tunnel. While Rai tells Josuke to close the hatch, Josuke argues that the enemy is outside and must know their positions. However, Rai stipulates that their tunnel is a well-guarded secret and that the attack should be an automatic one. When Josuke peeks through the porthole, he sees the fire burning the orchard, to the duo's astonishment. Josuke guesses that something is amiss between the enemy Stand and the fire.

In their shed, Jobin reassures Tsurugi about 's safety, and asks him to create origami that can fly. At the same time, Josuke decides to go outside with Rai, using Soft & Wet's bubbles as a protective shield to stave off the decompression. Disregarding Rai's suggestions to flee to safety, Josuke reaffirms his goals. Partly impressed, Rai decides to step outside first inside a bubble. Strolling outside, the plant appraiser explains that the branch must be handled with care and he alone can do it. Jobin and Tsurugi spot Rai through a phone transformed into an origami crane as he approaches the branch and lifts his arm, preparing to take it.

However, Rai suddenly stops and looks aside. It is Poor Tom who has snuck into the garden and is holding his lego house. Having confirmed his suspicion about the hybrid Rokakaka's presence, he tells the appraiser that he has a choice to make. Making a split second decision, Rai uses both arms to respectively seize the branch and tie Poor Tom with a wire rope. The hidden branch has been revealed to every faction present.
