Meanwhile, Suzi pays a visit to Japan to visit Holly, having fully understanding that her daughter's life is in danger and deciding the best thing she can do for her is to have faith in Jotaro and Joseph. Back at Dio's mansion, Jotaro, Joseph, and Kakyoin come across one of Dio's weaker servants, Nukesaku, seeing through his attempt to disguise himself as a woman and coercing him into guiding them to Dio's whereabouts. Meanwhile, Polnareff, having patched up his injuries, comes face to face with Dio himself.

Manga/Anime Differences

 * The Joestar Group's "breaking the door" scene, which chronologically should be placed in the previous episode.
 * A scene featuring Silver Chariot's second multiple sword attack to Vanilla Ice is added.
 * Avdol and Iggy's souls are formed of Vanilla Ice's ashes in the manga, here they are made of smoke coming from one of his stand's holes.

Trivia

 * This is first time a story arc has used 3 episode titles.
 * In a callback to the vampires and Pillar Men in Season One of the anime, as Vanilla Ice is wounded, the magma effect can be seen instead of blood.
