Introduction
Less than 24 hours ago, chapter 20 of the Jojolands “Glory Days, Part 2" was published by Ultra Jump magazine. The chapter was accompanied by the announcement of the publication of volume 5 in Japan, which will be released on December 18 along with Jojo Winter magazine.

Analysis
The chapter has two very marked parts:
The first begins with Bobby Jean firing several bullets into the bathrooms to find where Jodio is hiding. Jodio who has his lungs affected by the Stand Bags Groove tries to survive while the bullets go through the bathroom doors. On the other hand, Bobby analyzes how November Rain works, coming to the conclusion that the water droplets have a diameter of about 3 meters and can pierce muscle if they reach their target.
Bobby fires Glory Days again and Jodio shields himself with the raindrops from his stand, reflecting Bobby's bullets. Bobby then kicks open the door to the stand and sees Jodio on the ground with rain pouring down on him and offers Jodio a deal, demanding that he pull everything out of his pockets and show him the volcanic rock. As Bobby Jean approaches Jodio, water droplets splashed on the roof drip onto his hat and splash down on Bobby Jean's head and neck.
Seeing Bobby Jean collapse (probably dead), Lulu runs to his side and starts crying, deactivating her Bags Groove Stand, making them come out of her victims' bodies. With the ability deactivated, Usagi heals and Jodio tells Lulu that once she's done crying, they'll take her with them when they leave the hospital.
The second part of the chapter focuses on Jodio going through the identification and documents in the bag of Mack, the general manager of Dolphin Bank's corporate sales division. Mack is found lying on an ICU bed next to Paco's bed. Jodio realizes that the bag placed with Paco's clothes was not a coincidence, and learns of Howler's debt to the bank.
On the other hand, Sophie, Congressman White's daughter is also cured and leaves her wheelchair. Congressman White's aide is surprised that he signed the approval on Howler's improper ownership. White for his part is determined that Howler will not get his way.
Jodio explains what the documents mean and how he plans to use the documents to collect Howler's debt instead of the bank, sinking both Howler and the bank. Jodio tells Paco to carry Mack so they can take him with them back to Meryl Mei's house, although Dragona isn't sure if he's still alive.
With this, the chapter ends.
Theories and conclusions
In my opinion, the end of the fight between Glory Days and November Rain was a bit disappointing. Bobby had everything to win, he even knew the extent of November Rain and Jodio was affected internally. That he was defeated and possibly killed by Jodio, just for approaching him to ask for the rock seems ridiculous to me. Especially considering, this is a presumably experienced hitman. Personally I would have preferred to see some more action and a battle ending more congruent with Bobby's character. As for the second part of the chapter, I think we are introduced to Dolphin Bank as someone to defeat along with Howler, it can be interesting when it comes to seeing new villains and antagonists.
I hope Araki will surprise us with new characters in the following chapters.
Thank you all for reading me!
