Summary
Koichi is informed by Giorno that they must force Black Sabbath into the sunlight in order to defeat it. The Stand uses the shadows of birds to get to Giorno and appears to have cornered him once more by grabbing Gold Experience's ankles. Echoes ACT3 inflicts its 3 Freeze ability, hoping to force Black Sabbath to loosen its grip, but it does not yield. Due to 3 Freeze, the enemy Stand threatens to break Giorno's ankles, causing Koichi to panic and command ACT3 to undo the effect. Giorno, on the other hand, tells him to not to do so; At that moment, a nearby evergreen starts to wither and die. This is caused by Gold Experience using its life-giving ability to speed up the tree's aging process. When the tree crumbles, Black Sabbath has no shadow to hide in, allowing Gold Experience to destroy the Stand by unleashing a rapid barrage of punches while exclaiming Giorno's father's signature Stand Cry.
