The fourth episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Launched on time.

This episode formally presents the world-building.

Ripple energy originates from the flow of blood and the rhythm of breathing within the body.

When you can perfectly control your breathing, you can transmit these ripples of life energy outward like waves...

This is the Ripple Qigong.

Zeppeli further explained: "The power of the Stone Mask is essentially the absorption of the energy of others."

"And the energy fluctuations of ripples are its opposite."

As the saying goes, to counteract one ripple, you need another ripple.

Zeppelin's eyes were piercing.

"And the most powerful, most fundamental ripple is the ripple rush, simulating solar energy and brimming with vitality! It is the natural nemesis of darkness and immortality!"

The audience in front of the screen was completely shocked by this sudden explanation!

"Holy crap! So that's how you fight vampires?! Breathing generates life energy, and that energy simulates sunlight? That's amazing!"

"You can learn Ripple through a special breathing technique, which can both cause damage and heal... Isn't this just a low-budget version of air or magic? It's too overpowered!"

"Doesn't anyone remember Daddy's famous quote? — 'Fight magic with magic!' No!"

"So, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is actually JoJo's Bizarre Training? (Suddenly realizing)"

"Here's the important part! Where can I learn the Ripple Breathing Technique?! I need help urgently! I want to learn this! (Eyes lighting up)"

"It's obvious he started learning from a young age, and he still needs a master like Zeppeli to guide him... JoJo actually turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise, directly activating his protagonist overpower!"

End of episode four.

An unprecedented enthusiasm for practice spread among the audience.

Since ripples are created by using a special breathing technique to mobilize life energy, are there similar things in the real world?

Almost everyone's first reaction pointed to a certain technique.

Tai Chi!

A balance of strength and gentleness, using gentleness to overcome strength! Long, deep breaths promote longevity!

"Tai Chi emphasizes sinking Qi to the Dantian and guiding Qi with intention. This is not only similar to the core of Ripple Breathing Method in controlling breathing and generating energy, but it's practically identical! (I'm sure of it)"

"That's right! The Ripple from 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' is definitely a heavily modified, combat-specific version of Tai Chi! Guangda Entertainment must have referenced it!"

"Case solved! It turns out our ancestors had mastered the power of Ripple long ago! We just hadn't discovered it!"

This amazing discovery spread rapidly.

Countless viewers whose chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) spirits were ignited by "JOJO" have begun to take action!

They first rushed to martial arts gyms, fitness centers, and fight clubs of all sizes throughout the city.

"Boss, do you teach the Ripple Breathing Technique here? You mean the kind that generates energy through special breathing techniques, enough to shatter rocks!"

The young JoJo fans were filled with anticipation.

The martial arts instructor looked completely bewildered.

"...Huh? We teach Sanda, Muay Thai, and Karate. The one you're talking about...is it a Qigong class? We don't teach that here."

"No ripple breathing technique? Surely Tai Chi has one? That'll do!"

Fans settled for second best.

"Tai Chi? That's a senior citizens' health class, held at the community activity center next door, starting at 7 pm, teaching a simplified 24-form..."

"What a trash martial arts school! They don't even teach Ripple... no, they don't even teach proper Tai Chi!"

The fans stormed off, leaving the coach in a state of disarray.

The young people who had been turned down suddenly realized something.

Yup!

The most popular and authentic place to practice Tai Chi is not a commercial martial arts school, but a park!

As a result, a bizarre yet spectacular scene appeared in parks in major cities, especially in the morning and evening.

Groups of eager young people surrounded the elderly men and women who were slowly practicing tai chi, chattering and behaving respectfully.

"Grandpa! Are you practicing Tai Chi? Could you teach me? I'd like to learn the breathing technique!"

"Master! I've finally found you! I'm your long-lost, last disciple! Master, please have some water!"

"Grandma, how old are you? You look so young! It must be because you've been practicing Tai Chi for so many years! Please, please pass on your secrets to me!"

The elderly folks had never seen anything like this before.

Some happily took on more apprentices, while others were left completely bewildered by the questions.

But this trend only intensified.

Some people have even begun to seriously study the manuals and breathing techniques of Tai Chi.

They attempted to decipher the cultivation method of Ripple Qigong from it.

And he shared it online with great seriousness.

Today's Ripple Cultivation Insights: I feel a bit of heat in my dantian. Is it time for awakening?

And in this nationwide wave of searching for the waves.

The most popular and considered the ultimate pilgrimage site is naturally Wudang Mountain.

A sacred site of Taoism, the ancestral home of Tai Chi, the birthplace of internal martial arts, and the site of the legend of Zhang Sanfeng...

All of this perfectly matches people's romantic imagination of the origin of ripples.

"To learn the true Ripple Breathing Technique, you have to go to Wudang Mountain! It's the origin of Tai Chi, and perhaps it holds the complete secrets of the Ripple Breathing Technique!"

"Let's form a group and go to Wudang Mountain to learn martial arts from a master! I'm going all out to fight vampires (?)!"

"Is Guangda Group hinting at something? Could the inspiration for 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' have come from Wudang? (This is quite a wild guess)"

The sudden and terrifying surge in traffic and attention instantly disrupted the routine operations of the Wudang Mountain scenic area and related organizations.

The website saw a surge in traffic, and the customer service hotline was overwhelmed with calls.

Social media accounts are flooded with outrageous questions about "ripple training courses," "Tai Chi crash courses," and "whether there are hidden cultivation courses."

Many young tourists even actually went to Wudang Mountain.

The Wudang Mountain management was initially bewildered, and then faced with a major headache.

They attempted to issue a statement clarifying that "this place is a religious site and tourist area, and there is no such thing as ripple qigong or special martial arts training class."

However, can a single announcement stop the surging enthusiasm for memes and curiosity?

Just as the management department was considering whether to temporarily restrict the flow of people or strengthen guidance.

They were urgently summoned for a meeting by the local cultural and tourism authorities.

The Culture and Tourism Bureau said earnestly, "Brother, this is a fantastic opportunity for publicity and a chance to boost tourism! So many people would kill for this! How can you turn it down?"

The person in charge of Wudang Mountain gave a wry smile: "But... what does this even mean? We don't have a 'ripple breathing' technique!"

The head of the culture and tourism department patted him on the shoulder.

"No, but you can! Be flexible!"

"How about launching a Tai Chi culture experience camp and a course on the basics of Taoist breathing techniques?"

"How about we create some themed tours to discover the life energy within you?"

"How about designing some related cultural and creative products?"

"What tourists want is atmosphere, a sense of participation, and memorable moments!"

"The key is to capitalize on this massive influx of traffic and boost surrounding restaurants, hotels, transportation, and shopping!"

The person in charge of Wudang Mountain looked at the other party, remained silent for a long time, and finally showed an expression of resignation.

"Let's look into it."

Therefore, the Wudang Mountain official website quietly updated its tourism service page.

Several new connections have been added for in-depth experiences with traditional culture and health-themed training programs.

Although no word was mentioned about ripples, those who know, know.

Related travel packages and cultural and creative designs have also been quickly put on the agenda.

Office of the Land of Light.

Yang Qian was leisurely browsing various interesting stories, videos, and trending topics on the internet about "the whole nation searching for the Ripple Breathing Method".

"Director Yang, the influence of your 'JOJO' has broken through the barriers between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds, and has influenced social and cultural phenomena from entertainment products."

Su Xiaoran brought in coffee and smiled as she looked at the report on the screen.

"I heard that people at Wudang Mountain are almost driven crazy by the questions, and even the cultural and tourism departments have to step in."

Yang Qian took a sip of water, her smile undiminished.

"Unexpectedly, I didn't expect the audience to be so enthusiastic."

Right now, it's just ripples.

But later on, could we come up with something else interesting?

such as……

Battle between Servants.

……

Tanuki Entertainment.

Zhang Ming: "This time, we're using the British Knights of the Round Table setting to create an animation about King Arthur."
