Out of nowhere, the gangster receives a punch in the stomach from Joseph, angry at his insensitivity towards the elderly Erina. Erina grimly declares that the curse of the Stone Mask is still following them even after 50 years.
In the Mexican temple, one night earlier, Straizo confides to Speedwagon, who contrary to what everyone believes is still alive, that he thinks that the man in the pillar is the creator of the Stone Masks, and that he must be ancient. When Speedwagon asks Straizo why he did this, Straizo answers that he wants the power of the Stone Mask because he envies the eternal youth and powers of their former enemy Dio Brando. After activating one of them, he becomes a vampire himself and sets out to find Joseph. He heads to New York in order to kill the last two people whom are aware of the power of the Stone Mask.
