Jack the Villain and Zeppeli the Eccentric (Jack the Ripper and Zeppeli the Eccentric - Part 1 in the JoJonium release) is the eighteenth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the eighteenth chapter of Part I: Phantom Blood.

Summary
Late at night, a couple is seen walking down an empty street in London. The woman says she has read in the news that the killer known as Jack the Ripper has been murdering women recently, and she is afraid of running into him. The man asks why she should be afraid, since she has been talking to him the whole time. The women is confused at first, but he reveals that he himself is Jack, and stabs her to death.

Dio appears from behind him in a wheelchair pushed by the zombie Wang Chan. Most of Dio's body is wrapped in a cloak, and part of his face can be seen, burnt from the fire. He tells Jack that he is interested in him, to which Jack replies by stabbing Dio in the face. Dio is unaffected and tells Jack that he needs servants.

Dio explains that he made it out of the fire alive thanks to a pillar falling onto the statue of Venus on which he was impaled. He promises Jack that if he joins him, he will obtain magnificent powers. Jack agrees to Dio's offer and is turned into a zombie.

Back at the remains of the Joestar Manor, Jonathan is looking for the Stone Mask among the rubble. He is concerned that it might not have been destroyed in the fire, but decides to give up in order to enjoy his time with Erina. Erina hands him a cane and the two go for a stroll.

Along the way, Jonathan turns around and notices a strange man dressed in a suit and top hat leaning on a fence behind them. The man quickly runs behind a bush after being spotted. Jonathan turns to face forward, but, to his surprise, the man is now sitting in front of him on a wall eating a sandwich. The man quickly jumps into the air without moving from his sitting position and strikes Jonathan in the chest with his pinky. A moment later, Jonathan's right arm is completely healed, something that should have taken months to happen.

The man reveals himself as William Anthonio Zeppeli, and tells Jonathan he cannot defeat the Stone Mask with bravery alone..
