Chapter 252

DIO's World, Part 6 (DIO(ディオ)の世界 その⑥, DIO no Sekai Sono 6), originally The Threat of The World (世界(ザ・ワールド)の脅威, Za Wārudo no Kyōi) 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.

I'm someone who rarely stays up all night, but I had to put in extra hours for the next issue's color pages. I was deeply moved by the sunrise's extreme beauty.
