JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Episode 9 (OVA)
The battle between the Joestar Group and Geb continues. Cornered by the enemy's ability to track sound in the open desert, the group begins taking heavy damage. Suddenly, Jotaro grabs Iggy and sets off toward the horizon, hoping to use the dog to find Geb's user before Geb finds him.
Summary
The Joestar Group finds itself stranded in the desert and at the mercy of N'Doul's deadly water Stand, Geb. The water then methodically attacks the crates, approaching from Polnareff's own crate. Forced to jump from the crate, Polnareff makes himself a target.
N'Doul is then distracted by regular sounds sounding like footsteps. In reality, Avdol is throwing his bracelets at the sand and faking footsteps to lure Geb out. Unfortunately, N'Doul suspects the truth at the last moment and manages to evade Magician's Red's flame and cut Avdol's neck, disabling him. For his part, Joseph is in the truck, but it begins to sink into the sand because of N'Doul.
Determined, Jotaro then runs to lure N'Doul away from his companions and the assassin cannot resist the idea of killing the one with the most formidable Stand. Jotaro catches Iggy, knowing that the dog can sense it. Iggy turns The Fool into a glider to escape but Jotaro manages to catch it, confusing N'Doul who loses Jotaro's trace. Meanwhile, the group is taking care of the wounded. The Fool loses altitude and Jotaro is forced to make Star Platinum kick the sand to regain altitude; this one kick tips N'Doul on Jotaro's plan.
Geb now pursues the glider. Jotaro finally spots N'Doul but notices sand falling on the Fool. Geb is propelling sand upward to create some noise and ambush the heroes. Fearful, Iggy tries to drop Jotaro into the sand but Star Platinum then throws the dog at N'Doul. The assassin is forced to recall Geb to protect himself and loses trace of Jotaro, who reappears behind him. After a last exchange of blows, Jotaro wins. N'Doul is defeated but then drives Geb into his brain. Declaring his loyalty to DIO, N'Doul kills himself to preserve the secret of DIO's Stand. Impressed by N'Doul's spirit, Jotaro buries the assassin. Jotaro is then victim of a last prank from Iggy as revenge. The group gathers and resume their journey in Egypt.
Meanwhile, DIO still rests in his lair.

Manga/OVA Differences
- The stand-off between the Joestar group and Geb is extended, with Polnareff pointing out the danger of the situation.
- A gag of Avdol miming telling Polnareff to jump from the crate he is stuck on is added.
- Geb sinks the truck into the ground after wounding Avdol, rather than after the group first drives off.
- Joseph, stuck inside the truck, struggles to escape using Hermit Purple before Jotaro starts running.
- Joseph states that Avdol's wounds are light after Jotaro grabs onto The Fool, rather than later in Aswan.
- Jotaro identifies N'Doul from 1.2 kilometres (3,900 ft) away, rather than 400 metres (1,300 ft) as in the original story.
- After wounding Jotaro, Geb explodes into a burst of machine-gun rain to further wound Jotaro, endangering Iggy in the process.
- N'Doul's mention of the number of remaining Stand users is removed, though his mention of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods is kept.
- N'Doul says that he wishes he could have seen Jotaro's face and wishes him luck before passing away.
- After burying him, Jotaro briefly wonders if he and N'Doul could have been comrades if the latter had met him before DIO.
