Synopsis

File:Yagiyama1.png

Yotsuyu Yagiyama's Stand partially manifesting to trap Paisley Park.

Yotsuyu Yagiyama mysteriously appeared within the secret room below the Higashikata estate, watching Yasuho Hirose sleep. He then uses his Stand power to suffocate her, all in an attempt to draw out Paisley Park so he may examine it. Once Paisley Park manifests, he uses his Stand to trap it in place, and seems to be able to identify Paisley Park's unique abilities, such as it being a long-distance type Stand. While she is still trapped, he reveals that he is an architect and he is trying to scout out interesting properties, such as the secret room, and that he hopes that Josuke never retrieves his memories, appearing to know more than he lets on. Yasuho in a last ditch attempt to free herself manages to fold an origami bunch of bananas, which she successfully uses to trip Yagiyama, as they are still powered by Tsurugi Higashikata's Stand Paper Moon. Yagiyama falls onto a broken glass Yasuho had earlier tried to use to cut the film on her face, and in the confusion his Stand's power weakens, freeing Yasuho from the film, but he has mysteriously disappeared.

Later, he assaults Josuke and Norisuke as they attempt to gain access to the basement by causing large flower pots to accelerate towards them as he watches from the entrance, surprised Josuke would return to the location just to die again. In the end, Josuke used his soap bubbles to push Yotsuyu into the sea and make him talk, but Yagiyama's body started falling apart until he died.
