Chapter 548

King Crimson vs. Metallica (5) (キング・クリムゾンメタリカ その⑤), originally in the WSJ release, is the five hundred forty-eighth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the one hundred ninth chapter of Vento Aureo.

Summary
Near the coast, Bucciarati, knowing that the Boss once took a photo here thanks to Trish, tells Abbacchio to rewind events to 15 years ago while he and Narancia investigate the attack.

Meanwhile the Boss leans over a fatally wounded Risotto and orders him to give him his iron back, in exchange of a painless death. However in one last fit of defiance, Risotto has covered Aerosmith with Metallica, forcing it to shoot the Boss from behind. Time is erased for 0.5 seconds, the bullets pass through the Boss and hit Risotto instead, killing him for good. The Boss then has no choice but to hide as Narancia and Bucciarati approach. Bruno identifies Risotto as the leader of La Squadra di Esecuzione, but also sees his severed feet, deducing that Risotto was fighting someone powerful and confident, and decides to search the area while the Boss tries to replenish his iron by eating the frogs near him.
