In "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" season 1 episode 16, titled "Wave of the Future," the adventure continues as JoJo and his companions must face off against a new enemy. This episode starts with JoJo and Caesar preparing to face Wamuu, a member of the antagonist group, the Pillar Men.
JoJo and Caesar must first contend with a deadly trap that Wamuu has set for them. The trap is a valley filled with numerous wind-creating “stone statues.” Jojo quickly realizes that these statues are not just rocks but actually the remains of people that had enduring such a trap before.
Despite knowing the likelihood of death, Jojo and Caesar proceed forward into the valley, with Caesar utilizing his skills with the Ripple to aid in their survival. While Caesar is able to clear a path through the boulders, he is unable to overcome the gusts of wind. This leads to JoJo using his own techniques and sheer willpower to advance them forward.
Once the duo reaches the end of the valley, they finally face off against Wamuu. Wamuu is a powerful enemy who possesses an ancient and deadly technique that can surpass Ripple equivalents. JoJo and Caesar should be cautious, however, they are able to take Wamuu by surprise, attacking him before he can use his techniques.
In this episode, JoJo also manages to gain important information from Wamuu. The Pillar Men are searching for a powerful item known as the Red Stone of Aja, which could have catastrophic consequences in the wrong hands.
The episode ends with the trio’s arrival at a small German village, where they encounter Lisa Lisa, a powerful Ripple master who will train JoJo and Caesar to use their abilities in battle.
