Back at the Barnyard (also known as Barnyard: The Series) is an American computer-animated television series based on the film of the same name.[1] The series aired from September 29, 2007 to September 18, 2010 on Nickelodeon.[2] The show was a co-production between Omation Animation Studio and Nickelodeon Animation Studio. The remaining episodes aired from September 12 to November 12, 2011 on Nicktoons.[3]

Plot

In the series' backstory, 10,000 years ago, Kars, an underground-dwelling humanoid being known as a Pillar Man, created a stone mask which grants immortality by absorbing life energy to conquer the sun (which kills his kind). He slaughtered all but four of the tribe.[4] As the Pillar Men's bodies were already immortal, they required more power for them to become ultimate beings.[5] In 39 AD,[6] three of the Pillar Men, Kars, Wamuu, and Esidisi, came to the Roman Empire to find a perfectly-cut Red Stone of Aja[a][7] known as the Super Aja.[b][5] Kars, Wamuu, and Esidisi developed fighting styles to counter Hamon,[8] an energy with the same properties as the energy from sunlight,[9] and nearly wiped out the Hamon tribe,[7] but the stone narrowly escaped them.[5] Following this, the Pillar Men went into a 2,000-year sleep.[7]

In 1889, Erina Joestar's husband Jonathan lost his life on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Erina survived and saved the life of a baby girl,[10] whose parents were killed by the stone mask.[11][c] The girl, Elizabeth, was raised by the Hamon master Straizo, who taught her to use Hamon[11][13] and gave her the Super Aja.[11] Elizabeth married Erina's son George and they had a son called Joseph. When Joseph was a baby, George was killed by a zombie that blended in as a commander of the Royal Flying Corps and his death was covered up. Elizabeth killed the zombie and a warrant for her arrest was sent out. She went into hiding and adopted the alias Lisa Lisa.[13] Joseph was raised by Erina.[14] He inherited Hamon abilities from Jonathan.[15]

At the start of the series, in the fall of 1938, Joseph and Erina move from London to New York.[16] Meanwhile, the oil baron Robert E. O. Speedwagon invites Straizo to Mexico to destroy a sleeping Pillar Man with Hamon. Straizo instead wounds Speedwagon,[15] and uses a stone mask near the Pillar Man and Speedwagon's blood to become an immortal vampire. Straizo goes to New York to destroy Joseph and Erina, believed to be the last people who know about the stone mask.[14] When Joseph defeats Straizo, Straizo tells him that the Pillar Man is about to awaken and he will meet the Pillar Man soon. Intrigued, Joseph goes to Mexico.[17] Joseph saves Speedwagon, who survived, from the awakened Pillar Man named Santana,[d][18] and tricks Santana into being turned to stone by the sunlight reflected from a well.[19]

Joseph and Speedwagon travel to Rome, where they meet Caesar Zeppeli,[20] a man who trained in Hamon to continue the legacy of his father Mario and grandfather Will.[21] However, the group arrives too late to prevent Kars, Wamuu, and Esidisi from awakening.[22] Joseph plays on Wamuu's pride and convinces Wamuu to let him live to be a more worthy opponent. Both Wamuu and Esidisi implant poison-filled rings in his aorta and windpipe, giving Joseph 33 days to get the antidotes from each of them.[23]

Joseph and Caesar train in Hamon under Lisa Lisa on Air Suplena Island off the coast of Venice.[24] Joseph and Caesar destroy Esidisi.[25] The group tracks down Kars and Wamuu to Switzerland.[26] Caesar is killed fighting Wamuu one-on-one, and takes the antidote for Joseph before dying.[27] Joseph and Lisa Lisa then confront Kars and Wamuu for the Super Aja, Lisa Lisa bluffing that she has a timed explosive that will destroy the stone.[28] Joseph kills Wamuu in battle.[29][30]

On February 28, 1939,[4] Kars acquires the Super Aja[31] and uses it along with the stone mask to become the ultimate being.[13] Now immune to the sun[32] and able to use Hamon,[4] Kars's only desire is to kill Joseph.[32] Joseph steals a Nazi plane and tries to crash it and Kars into the volcanic island of Vulcano.[33] Joseph and Kars escape, but the shock of the plane crash causes a volcanic eruption.[34] Kars attempts to kill Joseph with Hamon, but Joseph instinctively holds up the Super Aja, which causes the energy to make the eruption climax, sending Joseph and Kars flying into the sky on a large rock. Kars is knocked into space by volcanic debris.[4] Unable to die, he drifts throughout space for eternity, eventually ceasing to think. Returning to Earth, Joseph is nursed to health by Lisa Lisa's assistant Suzi Q,[e] whom he marries. In the epilogue, set in 1987, an aged Joseph takes a flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Japan, where his daughter and grandson live, leading in to the first chapters of the following story arc, Stardust Crusaders.[35]
