As he expected, [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]]'s blood has empowered [[Dio Brando|DIO]] to new levels and the [[Vampire]] becomes just as ecstatic as he was a century before. Joseph's soul then appearedappears to [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]], telling him to stay calm despite what anger DIO may cause him, and confesses that this journey with his grandson has been a very enjoyable one. Joseph's spirit then ascends into the sky. as DIO then completely draineddrains Joseph'shis body, causing a furious Jotaro to charge directly at DIO.

The two clash mid-air as DIO freezes time. Counting the seconds, DIO is seemingly overpowered by [[Star Platinum]] until it soon freezes. Now supercharged, the duration of stopped time increases to a maximum of nine seconds. His insanity was visible on a complete scale: DIO, isbeing overjoyed to have completely fused with [[Jonathan Joestar]]'s body and being at full power, declaringdeclares he wasis experiencing "the greatest high" and delightfully drills his index finger into his skull. Tormenting an immobilized Jotaro, he uses [[The World]] to constantly pummel him and send him flying onto a bridge. He then stops time and declares that his next time stop will be the last one. The Vampire disappears, only to return with a [[List of Vehicles#Road Roller|road roller]] andwhich threwhe itthen throws directly at Jotaro in an attempt to kill him by crushing him underneath it. Jotaro triedtries to push it back with Star Platinum but wasis unable to continuously do it as DIO and The World forcesforce it down, and after a final punch, Jotaro is seemingly crushed beneath the road roller.

It had seemedseems that DIO wasis finally victorious in his century-long feud with the Joestars. SecondsHowever, seconds later, DIO foundfinds himself unable to move because Jotaro himself wasis able to stop time, doing so at the last second to take the advantage and proving that the parallels drawn between their [[Stand]]s have alluded to a greater similarity all along. Jotaro describes the time stop's effect on others, comparing it to drowning and being pushed further down. He kicks DIO's weakened legs just as time resumes, shattering them completely and sending DIO cascading across the ground. Jotaro advances on the grounded DIO and, due to his noble nature and not wanting to strike a man while he's down, he waits for DIO to get up before ending him. DIO, having been mocked by Jotaro's words and determined not to lose, reminds himself that victory is the one true thing he desires. DIO then sprayedsprays the blood from his legs onto Jotaro's eyes in an attempt to obscure his sight and beganbegins a strong kick with his good leg. However, Jotaro wasis able to see through Star Platinum's eyes and lands a punch which connects with the kick. The kick connects at approximately the same point on The World's leg as where DIO broke his. Because injuries to a Stand and its user echo each other, this is where The World's own structure was weakest. Jotaro's hand breaks but DIO's The World then beganbegins to crumble from the attack, causing DIO's body to break down and split in half. Even asAs he shoutedshouts how his defeat wasis impossible, DIO's head exploded,explodes and his upper body wasis destroyed. DIO had, finally beendefeating defeatedhim.

Afterward, Jotaro and [[Polnareff]]'s injuries wereare dealt with by the [[Speedwagon Foundation]]. Since DIO had taken much of Joseph's blood, Jotaro askedasks for a blood transfusion from DIO's body to Joseph's. After using Star Platinum to restart Joseph's heartbeat, the transfusion beganbegins. The shriveled-up body that Joseph had after losing so much blood beganbegins returning to his normal muscular figure and Joseph fully revivedrevives. Joseph uses the opportunity to pull a prank on Jotaro, claiming to be DIO possessing Joseph's body which nearly causes Jotaro to attack him. Luckily Joseph is spared a beating by claiming it was a joke. When the sun rises, the two expose DIO's remains to direct sunlight, causing them to turn to dust and finalizing the century-long struggle between the immortal monster and the [[Joestar Family]], putting to rest the combined struggles of five generations. They then gavegive one final moment of thought for [[Kakyoin]], [[Iggy]], and [[Avdol]]. 

At the [[Cairo International Airport|airport]], Joseph and Jotaro gavegive a final goodbye to Polnareff, who was finallyis ready to return to his home country of France. Joseph asks Polnareff to come with him to America, knowing that the latter had no one waiting for him back home. Polnareff refusedrefuses the offer, stating that despite being alone, France wasis his homeland. The trio gavegive their final goodbyes and leftleave, promising to see one another again someday. Back in Japan, [[Holy Kujo|Holy]] has completely recovered and is freed from the curse. Even miles away, she knewknows her son and father wereare coming home. Indeed, Jotaro and Joseph are already on a [[List of Vehicles#Plane Home|plane]] to Tokyo, Jotaro reminiscing his adventure across the world with the {{MI|Commemorative Photograph|commemorative photograph}} he's taken with the group.
