When [[Noriaki Kakyoin]] went on his family trip to Egypt, [[DIO]] relied on Kenny G. to use [[Tenore Sax]] to trap Kakyoin. [[Ryoko Kakyoin]] got split from the group and ended up getting lost, but her cousin saved her. Kakyoin realized that it was a Stand ability after noticing that nobody else was walking on the roads, and no matter how much they walked, they were ending up in the same spot. He managed to break his way through by firing [[Emerald Splash]] at a wall, which led to another road. Before they could escape, Kakyoin was stopped by DIO and implanted with a [[Flesh Bud|flesh bud]].<ref name="CH5">{{Ch|Crazy Heartbreakers Chapter 5}}</ref>
