The Joestar Group finally enter DIO's Mansion. Tracking DIO to a coffin at the top of a tower, the group prepares to fight the immortal vampire. Yet when Avdol opens the coffin, he himself is revealed within before being suddenly annihilated. As DIO himself appears before the Joestars, Polnareff and Iggy face off against DIO's right hand, the zealous and irascible Vanilla Ice.
Summary
Jotaro and his companions finally arrive at DIO's Mansion. Expecting anything, they choose to leave the frightened Iggy behind. The front gate opens by itself, signaling that DIO is aware of their presence. Meanwhile in Japan, Suzi Q is at Holy's bed. The ailing Holy wakes up and expresses her confidence in her family.
Meanwhile, the group is making their way through the mansion. They find DIO's coffin and Avdol notices that Iggy has decided to come fight with them. He decides to burn the coffin with Magician's Red, but suddenly finds himself in the coffin, his stomach pierced. Polnareff rushes to his injured friend's side.
DIO suddenly manifests himself from the shadows. Suddenly a hole appears on the roof and Avdol shoves his friend aside. DIO's favorite minion Vanilla Ice has just annihilated Avdol's body with his unknown Stand. Afterward DIO demonstrates how obedient Ice is and Ice explains how he's killed Avdol. Angered, Polnareff summons Silver Chariot, starting a fight. Vanilla Ice enters his Stand Cream and makes Polnareff fall toward the bottom of the tower, followed by Iggy. Harassed by the invisible Cream, Polnareff disperses water in the air but although he detects Vanilla Ice, he is unable to wound him.
Meanwhile at the top of the tower, DIO toys with Jotaro and makes him unable to even approach him. Laughing, DIO asks Joseph for his blood for it will enable him to synchronize with his Joestar body. Jotaro protests, only to be thrown out of the tower. Joseph realizes that DIO is invincible.
Meanwhile, the battle between Polnareff and Vanilla Ice continues, but Polnareff is wounded and exhausted. Vanilla Ice almost kills him but Iggy intervenes with The Fool, slamming him into a wall. Still, Iggy is killed in Ice's counterattack. Angered by the act, Polnareff makes Silver Chariot cut Vanilla Ice in half and wins, but can only mourn Iggy.
For his part, Joseph is unable to fend off DIO. The sun has almost set, but Kakyoin intervens to save Joseph. He destroys the tower with Hierophant Green, allowing himself and Joseph to drive away. Nonetheless, it is night and DIO is now free to roam the streets of Cairo.

Manga/OVA Differences
- Kakyoin does not rejoin the group until he saves Joseph from DIO at the end of the episode, unlike in the original story, where he arrives in time to enter the mansion.
- Polnareff and Avdol briefly argue before entering the mansion. Afterward, Avdol leaves a stash of gum for Iggy, urging him to stay behind.
- Suzi Q's visit to Holy is shown prior to the group reaching DIO's coffin, rather than occurring after the battle with Vanilla Ice as in the original story.
- Roses is removed entirely.
- Telence T. D'Arby, Kenny G., and Nukesaku are removed entirely. Instead, it is Avdol who opens the coffin and finds himself inside.
- The group does not flee the mansion after opening the coffin.
- Avdol figures out The World's secret, but Vanilla Ice annihilates him before he can tell Polnareff.
- DIO mentions that D'Arby might have told the group about Vanilla Ice, who he took as his right-hand man.
- Rather than prior to encountering them, Vanilla Ice decapitates himself in front of the Joestar group.
- Vanilla Ice decapitates himself to prove his loyalty to DIO, rather than to provide him with blood to assimilate to Jonathan's body.
- It is unexplained how DIO's blood is able to revive Vanilla Ice.
- Although he is not stated to have become a vampire, Vanilla Ice's fangs become visible after he is attacked by The Fool.
- Polnareff is separated from the Joestars when Cream destroys the floor beneath him, instead of being left behind when Atum abducts Joseph and Jotaro. Iggy does not rejoin him until near the end of the battle.
- The first part of Polnareff and Vanilla Ice's battle occurs in an outside courtyard with a pool, rather than the art gallery on the second floor.
- Instead of The Fool's sand, Polnareff uses water sprayed from a fountain to find Cream's location.
- Polnareff stabbing Vanilla Ice in the mouth is omitted.
- A series of original scenes see Jotaro and Joseph facing DIO, who taunts the two before throwing Jotaro through the wall of the mansion.
- DIO explaining that he needs Joseph's blood is moved here from after Kakyoin's death.
- Polnareff is worn down from the battle with Cream off-screen.
- Instead of being beaten to death by Vanilla Ice, Iggy loses his lower half to Cream. Vanilla Ice then crushes him beneath his heel and kicks his corpse away.
- Vanilla Ice dies from being stabbed and sliced apart by Silver Chariot, rather than being vaporized by the sun.
- The room housing DIO's coffin is destroyed by Kakyoin's Emerald Splash and collapses.
- Rather than borrowing a civilian's truck, Joseph and Kakyoin drive away from the mansion in the truck the group came in.
