Death Thirteen, Part 5 (死神(デス)13(サーティーン) その⑤, Desu Sātīn Sono 5), originally A Margin of Victory (余裕ある勝利, Yoyū Aru Shōri) in the WSJ release, is the fifty-ninth chapter of Stardust Crusaders and the one hundred seventy-second chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga.

Summary

The group awakens in the amusement park. Polnareff remembers his previous dream and tells them that Kakyoin was right about the baby being an enemy. Mannish Boy taunts the group in their sleep, saying they won't be able to wake up before he kills them. Polnareff goes to search for Kakyoin, but Joseph expresses confusion about Polnareff's hair, which has now grown to a comical size. His hair continues to grow, and grabs on to two nearby poles, trapping him. Jotaro's gold chain wraps around his neck and begins to choke him. Finally, Joseph's prosthetic hand becomes giant, pinning him to the ground with its weight. Polnareff sees that there are no rules in the Dream World, and they won't be able to fight back. Jotaro summons Star Platinum, but it turns on him, revealed to be Death Thirteen in disguise. Death Thirteen says that if they had their Stands active before falling asleep, they would be able to use them. When all seems lost, Hierophant Green appears, and begins to choke Death Thirteen from behind. The group is freed, and they see Kakyoin nearby. Kakyoin reveals that he had Hierophant Green active when he was knocked out, and that he will punish Death Thirteen.
