This is the seventh episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Binding of Chains.

## Inside of Mr. President Requiem, Part 1

Kira, Ruun, Jeremy, Piero, Flavia***, and*** Fugo ***find themselves stuck inside some kind of black void, but are saved by the appearance of a strange door*** which Flavia tries to open but the void dematerializes into a white room with red sofas, minifridge, wooden table, and doors labelled 1 through 9 on the side of the room. Fugo is able to instantly recognize the room as belonging to the turtle with a Stand, Coco Jumbo, and its Stand Mr. President. He tries to raise his arm up to the roof to exit the room but to no avail, especially noticing that the roof is miles up high. After some arguing between the group on where they are, Fugo pulls out a drink he recognizes he had over 8 days ago in the fridge, confirming his suspicions. They decide to check the doors instead with Fugo going straight for Room #4, only to be horrified by the contents. He says that he saw the corpse of one of his close friends.

Fugo, overcome by grief, decides to try and venture into Room #4 and Jeremy agrees to go with him despite warning him about the dangers of trying to see his friend. Once they get through the door it quickly disappears behind them, and they see the corpse of a young adult with black hair and bloodied and ragged clothes covered in flowers. Fugo takes a minute to reconcile with his dead friend while telling Jeremy to go on ahead to get help from four other people up ahead. ***What Jeremy sees is a young blonde teenager, a pink haired adult, a young woman with pink hair, and an italian man with a blue and orange outfit who are chasing down a black and faceless musketeer shaped figure with the appearance of black plastic.*** The man with pink hair asks Jeremy who the hell he is, with responding with Fugo sending him. He reluctantly tells Jeremy to shoot the black figure for the arrow it’s holding, and he does so making it drop the arrow. Once this happens another figure picks up the arrow from behind the blonde teen, a humanoid red and white checkered figure with a pink face on its forehead, holding the arrow after it disappears from the teen’s hand. The pink haired man calls out “Giorno” to the teen before the world changes before Jeremy’s eyes and he sees himself and the checkered figure remain. Jeremy shoots the figure with DDR’s arrows, ***immobilizing it before he begins to punch himself and by extension itself repeatedly***. The figure’s head is finally done in when Fugo’s Stand, Purple Haze smashes it’s head. Once everything is set and done the world around them disappears once more, with a voice in their heads telling them that they are worthy to wield the arrow or as Fugo refers to it as the ***Requiem Arrow*** and says that he will keep the arrow safe. They’re teleported inside of some sort of maze by the voice and venture through it to find Ruun at the end looking at Kira and some man in a short mantle fighting it out at an altar.

Ruun checks Room #5 only to find a naked black haired woman, who turns around to show that it’s his sister Macy. Macy yells at Ruun for being in the bathroom while she’s naked and he quickly scuttles out. Ruun decides to take his time relaxing only to see a mysterious black vehicle approach his home. A stranger exits out of the car and approaches Ruun’s dad at the front door, only for Ruun’s dad to alert Macy to leave the house but is attacked by the man. Ruun has his Stand step in the fight, beating the man with his Stand before the world around Ruun changes. It is then that he sees images of his dad and sister being attacked by the man with his sister taking some strange arrow to the heart before a voice explains to Ruun the situation he’s in. He explains to Ruun that he must continue forward in order to save his sister before being transported into a coffin inside of a charred bedroom. After a moment of confusion and thinking, he heads out of the bedroom and down a flight of stairs only to go back up the stairs and into a giant pyramid where he heads down another flight of stairs to see some images of him and presumably Kira standing next to an arrow. Once he climbs down the stairs he uses his Stand to check ahead across a huge gap, where he looks down a hole to see Kira and some man wearing a short mantle facing off against one another. He has his Stand retrieve him and send him down safely where he views the fight several dozens of meters away, seeing Kira’s leg getting hit with a small explosion.

Flavia decides to check Room #8, seeing herself inside of a courtroom in the same trial she was on for her medical license being removed before being sucked inside the room after trying to peek further in. After seeing her past self in pure rage over losing her medical license she comforts her younger self, telling her that one day someone will come for her to help her out, giving some mild relief to the young Flavia. Once this is done, a voice tells Flavia that she is worthy, worthy to have the resolve to fix her past and use the power of “the arrow”, and that the world she’s in is a mere fraction of Mr. President Requiem. Flavia is transported inside of somewhere tight which turns out to be a coffin. After exiting the coffin she looks for things around her in order to climb down a hole she finds in the corner of the room she’s in….

***Inside of*** Benjamin***’s*** ***room*** we see him helping his younger self “escape” High School, by taking him into the city where they stop by an alley. In this alley they are approached by cops who believe Benjamin has taken his younger self hostage, but Benjamin makes quick work of the cops and brings his younger self back to the school. Afterwards, a voice speaks out to Benjamin going by Mr. President Requiem, and tells Benjamin how he is worthy to wield the arrow’s power, and that it will allow him to gain power and change fate. He gets transported to some foggy stairs, where he climbs up the stairs to a path laid with ice. With his Stand he is able to skate across the ice and arrive inside of a pyramid, where he looks around the inside of a speaking room. Under the podium, he finds a trap door that reveals an assortment of turning gears and wheels and promptly destroys them in Benjamin fashion. ***This will cause a reaction to occur above him, making the room above otherwise known as the Arrow Altar Room, to collapse.***

When Kira checks her room she finds that she’s inside some sort of waiting lobby and sees her parents. Kira and her parents reconcile after all the accusations of her being a terrorist, before it is revealed that her parents are waiting for her back at her home by a voice that goes by Mr. President Requiem, who explains to Kira that she’s worthy to wield the arrow to restore her normal life. She confusingly accepts this after a moment of questioning, and then she is teleported inside of a burnt bedroom. Once she leaves the bedroom, she goes to a staircase which leads to a pyramid, which she enters. After entering the pyramid, she faces a maze where she tries to jump over it to no avail. She decides to venture through the pyramid, before encountering a man at the end of the maze standing at an altar. The man wears a short white mantle, black clothing, and has a shortsword holstered to his pants. Kira and the man get into a skirmish, revealing the man’s ability to produce explosions similar to Kira, as well as to shoot water from his hands. Kira is able to get the man down after landing some explosive hits using her *Queen of Spades.*

***Ruun, Jeremy, and Fugo*** witness Kira fighting this man and Ruun waits for the opportunity to grab the arrow. Once Kira has the man weakened, Ruun tries to go towards the altar but the man extends his arm at Jeremy and drains his energy, and regains his in return. He tries to continue the fight with Kira but is hit with a hard smash into the skull. Ruun also takes the opportunity to try and injure the man with a barrage of punches, only to have his arms grabbed and life energy partly drained. Afterwards, Jeremy takes the opportunity to grab the arrow and successfully does so, which collapses the entirety of the altar room as they begin to fall down. Fugo successfully grabs Jeremy in order to make sure he doesn’t fall, and Ruun and Kira manage to slide on the wall and the man ends up on the other side of the room they collapsed into.

What the group had collapsed into was a speaking room, decorated religiously. This was the room ***Benjamin had fallen into after his experiences with Mr. President Requiem***. He kept himself hidden from the group in a room filled with several artifacts which included Stone Masks, Bows, and green Steel Balls.
