Chapter 252

DIO's World, Part 6 (の世界 その⑥), originally The Threat of The World (の脅威) in the WSJ release, is the one hundred thirty-ninth chapter of Stardust Crusaders and the two hundred fifty-second chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga.

Summary
Hierophant Green launches an Emerald Splash at DIO. With one finger, DIO is able to deflect the attack with ease. Hierophant Green attacks with a more narrow Emerald Splash, but DIO deflects it again with just his hand. DIO summons The World, and punches Kakyoin's Stand, sending it flying out of The World's range. In the truck, Joseph warns Kakyoin to be careful, seeing him bleed heavily. Kakyoin deduces that The World is a close-ranged Stand without any projectile attacks. Joseph notices DIO's car had stopped and wonders what is going on. Suddenly, the body of Senator Wilson smashes into the truck, causing it to crash. DIO slowly and confidently approaches the truck. Joseph and Kakyoin manage to escape, swinging from the rooftops. As they escape, Kakyoin states that he may have found a way to uncover the secret of The World.
