Chapter 11
Summary
Dio arrives back at the mansion and decides he would rather fight Jonathan than run away. Upon entering, he greets Jonathan as if all is fine, but Jonathan reveals he has already found the antidote to the poison and has given it to his father. He apologizes for having to hand Dio over to the police. To Jonathan's astonishment, Dio pleads that he be given more time before being arrested and claims that the actions he had committed had been due to being born as a poor man. Dio tries to prove his remorse by explaining that he went back to the mansion to surrender, when he could have easily run away before then.
From the shadows, Speedwagon appears and warns Jonathan not to trust Dio. Having been living in the slums all his life and having met many villains, Speedwagon could easily tell a bad person from a good person just by their smell. He argues that Dio's upbringing was not why he was a villain, but rather, he had been evil since birth. With that said, Jonathan brings forth the man who had sold him Dio the oriental poison. A curtain drops nearby revealing George, as well as several police officers. George is saddened at Dio's betrayal and walks back to his room.
The Oriental man says that Dio won't be caught. As a fortune-teller he can tell that by Dio's face that he was gifted with good luck.
- "There's a limit to human ability, JoJo."
Suddenly, Dio pulls from his robe the Stone Mask and wields it in the air, exclaiming that he rejects his humanity. He then pulls out a knife and attempts to stab Jonathan, but hits George instead who jumped in to protect his son. Dio dons the mask and George's blood sprays onto it. A burst of light fills the room.
