Chapter 423

Another One Bites the Dust (6), originally Don't Ask Questions! in the WSJ release, is the four hundred twenty-third chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the one hundred fifty-eighth chapter of Part IV: Diamond Is Unbreakable.

Summary
Jotaro asks Hayato about the picture of him spying on his father. Hayato tells the group that he has a nosebleed and turns to run. When Josuke asks to see the nosebleed, Hayato gives himself a real one by slamming his watch into his face. However, Josuke immediately heals him and the group continues questioning him.

Realizing that there is no escape, Hayato turns away from the group and tries to kill himself with a box cutter, hoping that with him gone, they will be able to continue their investigation. Jotaro realizes that something is keeping Hayato from answering their questions, but as he reaches for Hayato's shoulder, Bite the Dust appears, holding onto the box cutter to keep Hayato from harming himself. The group calls out their Stands to attack, but Bite the Dust has already activated. Jotaro, Josuke, Okuyasu and Koichi are blown up, and Hayato wakes up screaming in his room just as his mother comes to wake him.

Shinobu tells her son that she's glad he answered her, but there's no need to shout. She leaves, and Hayato looks at the clock, knowing that in one hour the events of the previous morning are destined to happen again. At first he despairs, but then remembers that the effects of Bite the Dust can be lifted if Kira himself dies. The mysterious plant in the attic is his only chance to fight back.
