SPOILER WARNING: Part 3-6 spoiler details may follow.
In 1967, the Six-Day War took place in the country. Avdol's father was sent to fight in the war, where he was killed, and Avdol's mother was killed by a Palestinian militia which had launched a mass shooting in Cairo, leaving him an orphan.[2]
Concludes non-canon section.
"Solid Naso" sells the Arrows to Enya
In 1983, Dio, now known as DIO, would have his casket rediscovered off of the coast of northern Africa, resetting him free into the world. Sometime in the year 1986, a secretive young man under the alias Solid Naso found some buried supernatural arrows during an archaeological excavation of the country that he sold to an old woman named Enya Geil, but kept one for himself.[3] Enya would go on to give the arrows to her master DIO which she would use to awaken his Stand The World and the other Joestar Stands.
DIO would set up Egypt as his main base of operations in the heart of the country, Cairo. He obtained a mansion where he would meet with and give orders to his followers, including having several consultations with Enrico Pucci.
Two years later in July 1988, DIO went to search for Avdol, who fled upon recognizing him from Joseph's stories. Then in August of the same year, he encounters Noriaki Kakyoin who is on vacation in the country, and brainwashes him into going after Jotaro Kujo.
After Joseph takes a spirit photograph of DIO, Star Platinum's superhuman eyesight detected a fly native to Egypt which Avdol recognizes. Upon determining that DIO is located in Egypt, Joseph, Avdol, Jotaro, and Kakyoin all board a plane to the country to face him.[1] Their plane is attacked by the Stand Tower of Gray and ultimately crashes, forcing them to resume their journey to the country on land.[4]
N'Doul stalks the group after arriving in Egypt
Eventually, the group arrives in the country after their encounter with High Priestess only to be informed of nine more Stand Users loyal to DIO.[5] They rendezvous with two Speedwagon Foundation representatives in a helicopter who give them a new ally in the form of a dog, Iggy. Later, the two Foundation representatives are attacked by N'Doul's Geb and crash their helicopter, and the Crusaders find their crash. They are perplexed by Geb's attack, but Jotaro uses Iggy to discover N'Doul's location. He tries to interrogate him into telling him about DIO, but N'Doul kills himself knowing that Joseph's Hermit Purple can read minds.[6]
Later a young boy named Boingo is approached by a Japanese mangaka tourist. The tourist offers to give Boingo various things in exchange for the comic book he's reading but gets scared off when the boy's older brother Oingo approaches. These two brothers go on to attempt to sabotage Jotaro, Joseph, and Polnareff but are inadvertently incapacitated.[7]
Along the Nile
The group resumes their search for DIO along the Nile River, where Polnareff gets separated from the rest. He encounters a young man named Chaka who is currently possessed by the sword Stand Anubis. Polnareff wins a duel against him and takes the sword for himself and reunites with the rest. When Polareff and Jotaro go to a barber a man named Khan gets possessed by the sword two and fights them. Then Polnareff gets possessed too, and Jotaro must carefully defeat him. Anubis is defeated by being thrown into the Nile.[8]
Joseph and Avdol struggle to go after Mariah
After a little more travel, Joseph is electrocuted by a strange outlet and begins attracting metallic objects. After an almost fatal incident on the escalator in the hotel, they're staying at he finds Mariah, the Stand user who is causing him to be magnetic. He informs Avdol of this, only to find he too is also magnetized. The two must go after Mariah but get stuck together because of their magnetization. She has all her bones broken when Joseph and Avdol surround her and cause their magnetic bodies to crush her.[9]
Polnareff is turned back into a child by Alessi
Meanwhile Polnareff is turned back into a kid by Alessi and his Stand Sethan. He tries to find Jotaro, but because he also lost his memories as an adult he doesn't recognize him. A woman named Malèna helps take care of the child Polnareff, but Alessi finds them and reduces her back into a fetus. After outsmarting Alessi even as a child, he is retired by Jotaro who manages to beat him even after being turned into a kid too.[10]
Getting desperate to find DIO, the Crusaders ask around at a bar in front of the pyramids if anyone has seen the building in one of Joseph's spirit photographs. One man claims to know where the building is, but will only tell them if they win a bet against him. Polnareff takes the bet but loses, the man's Stand takes Polnareff's soul for losing and he reveals his name as D'Arby. Now knowing that he's a Stand user, the rest of the Crusaders take him one until Jotaro tries to get him to tell him the secret of DIO's Stand. D'Arby is incapacitated under the pressure knowing that if he betrays DIO he will be killed.[11]
As the Joestar Group makes its way to Cairo, a previous foe, Hol Horse reports to Dio Brando about the defeats of Mariah and Alessi. Though Hol Horse attempts to kill DIO, he cowers in fear of his power and swears his loyalty once again.[12] This time, Hol Horse takes with him a new companion Boingo and believes his Stand's ability to foretell the future will give him the upper-hand. Through a number of coincidences and accidents foretold by Tohth's predictions, Hol Horse nearly succeeds but due to a misunderstanding of the pages, Emperor's bullets ricochet back at him. The Joestar Group treks onward.[13]
Hol Horse and Boingo find out they have to go to Morioh
In March 1999, around ten years after DIO's death, Kenny G. still uses his Stand to disguise DIO's Mansion and makes it a safe haven for DIO's former minions where he, Mariah, Oingo, and Boingo still live. As Hol Horse goes to reunite with them and tries to find allies to help him find Pet Sounds at the request of an elderly lady, he is attacked by Mariah. After their fight Boing uses Thoth to find out that the parrot he is looking for is in a Japanese town called Morioh. Hol Horse and Boingo both leave to go to Morioh.[14]
Later, Josuke and Oingo are sent to a memory of Egypt by Pet Sounds's Stand where Josuke experiences the pain of being killed by Pet Shop and DIO.[15]
During the events of Stardust Crusaders many cities in the country are visited by the Joestar Group, usually situated along the Nile River. These cities include Aswan, Kom Ombo, Luxor, and the capital city Cairo.
Stage Hazard: Players knocked into the neon "AIR" sign will cause the individual letters to malfunction and fall forward, dealing additional damage to the victim and electrocuting anybody in range.
Situation Finish: Loser is sent crashing into a water tower, recreating Kakyoin's death scene. If Kakyoin himself is the victim, the manga panel showing his death appears, and his body is left there for the rest of the match.
Cairo was announced as the second stage in Last Survivor on November 24, 2020[17] and was released on December 16 of the same year.[18] Unlike Morioh, the Cairo stage is significantly smaller and only has one possible area to play in.
If hit towards the water tower, in the same direction as the corner lampost, the loser is sent flying and crashes into it, recreating Noriaki Kakyoin's death scene.
(While the Cairo Overpass stage did appear in Eyes of Heaven, it was exclusive to the game's Story Mode, where it appeared in cutscenes and the opening battle.)
If hit towards the side of the bridge with a burning car, time stops and a road roller lands on the loser. This Situation Finish will not occur if DIO is the one being KO'd. However, DIO can trigger the Situation Finish if he's KOing an opponent.
During a scouting trip to Egypt Hirohiko Araki thought that all the people around him were suspicious which partially inspired the idea of Stands and the main setting of Part 3.[19]
(While the Cairo Overpass stage did appear in Eyes of Heaven, it was exclusive to the game's Story Mode, where it appeared in cutscenes and the opening battle.)
