The Red Stone of Aja (Chapter)

The Red Stone of Aja (エイジャの赤石) is the twentieth chapter of Battle Tendency and the sixty-fourth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga.

Summary
In the depths of the Roman Colosseum, the Nazis have uncovered the three other Pillar Men preserved in a stone wall littlered with Stone Masks. Having set up several ultraviolet lights to prevent their awakening, the nazis prepare to cut up the stone and send it to Germany for examination. Suddenly, a hole opens in the forehead of the middle Pillar Man, and strange sounds come out, frightening all the soldiers present despite the reassurance of their superior officer. The officer sends several men to examine the hole, but a horn bursts forward, shredding the heads of several men to cover the lights in blood. The Pillar Man then fully awakens and bursts forward, speaking Latin to express anger at the futile attempt to imprison him.

Immediately, the Pillar Man utilizes blinding speeds to cruise through the soldiers in a graceful and swift motion, manipulating their anatomy to join them all at their hands. He impales the leader and drains all men present of their insides by means of a chain reaction, only leaving the skin. He walks back to the stone wall and, exclaiming his name Wamuu, touches his two masters and awakens them, letting them burst out of the stone.

Wamuu reports to his leader that he overheard a soldier saying Santana was defeated in Mexico by a possible Ripple warrior to which the second Pillar Man mentions that they should have wiped out the Ripple clan 2,000 years ago. Undaunted, the leader of the Pillar Men finally inquires about the Red Stone of Aja, which appears to be a great source of power.
