Noriaki Kakyoin
After knocking out Noriaki Kakyoin, Jotaro Kujo brings his unconscious body into their abode, surprising his mother Holy. He immediately asks where his grandfather is, only for her to disapprovingly telling him he's with Muhammad Avdol in the tea room. As Jotaro leaves, Holy sighs citing that Jotaro never wants to talk to her, but just as he's about to leave her sight, he asks if she's okay. Excited by Jotaro's concern over her, she enthusiastically states she's doing fine.
Placing Kakyoin's body down in front of Joseph and Avdol, the former announces that he only has a few days to live revealing a Flesh Bud on his forehead, mind controlling cells placed there by DIO. Despite the dire situation, Jotaro is determined to remove the parasitic bud to see if they can get any more information from a non-mind controlled Kakyoin. As such, he uses Star Platinum to remove it.
Holding his face still, Jotaro begins removing the Flesh Bud from Kakyoin, causing him to wake up. He explains to the now conscious Kakyoin what's going on, but the Flesh Bud begins to dig into his own skin and is heading toward his brain. The Flesh Bud, now fully removed, is destroyed by Joseph's Ripple.[2]
The next day, Joseph is waking up, complaining to Holy that she gave him Jotaro's pants to wear, but he can't find her. Jotaro is about to leave for school, but notices that his mother isn't there to greet him off. Avdol is heading to the kitchen and sees that a spoon on the ground, heading into the room he sees pots and pans strewn about everywhere, and that Holy is on the floor unconscious, rushing over to her, he's noticed that she's developing a Stand.
Joseph and Jotaro discover the scene, and Joseph is distraught at the fact his daughter is being hurt at DIO's hands. Joseph, determined to find a defeat DIO, wants to find his location, but have no leads. Jotaro looks at the Spirit Photograph once more, and Star Platinum sees something in it: a Nile Tsetse fly. Avdol confirms as such, and Kakyoin, now recovered, remembers that he was in Egypt on vacation before being brainwashed.[3]
The group agrees to leave for Egypt, but not before Avdol has Jotaro draw a Tarot Card to name his Stand.[3] Holy is then left in the care of the Speedwagon Foundation.[5]
Suzi Q Joestar Visits Her Daughter
Suzi Q Joestar, along with her butler Roses, are going to Tokyo to check on her daughter. Roses, unable to mistress about Holy's true condition faces anxiety upon them arriving to the manor, but Suzi Q informs him that she had already suspected as such.
Mother and daughter now reunited, Suzi Q hugs and comforts the sickly Holy as Rosas cries outside, moved by their relationship.[6]
The Faraway Journey, Farewell Friends
After the death of DIO and immediately following the destruction of his body in sunlight, Holy is able to sit up. Suzi Q, surprised, asks Holy what's wrong, but there's nothing to be worried about. Holy feels much better and senses that her father and son are headed back home to see them.[7]
