Summary
When Dio sees Jonathan he realizes that Tarkus and Bruford have failed their tasks. Given this new opportunity, several of the surrounding zombies jump at the chance to kill Jonathan and please their master. However, Dio stops them says he would like to be the one to beat Jonathan himself. Jonathan is eager to confront his old enemy, but Dire intervenes stating that he has a right to fight Dio first being a long time friend of Zeppeli's. Despite Jonathan's attempt to warn him of Dio's flash freezing technique, Dire approaches him without a second thought.
Dire then uses his signature Thunder Split Attack and succeeds in straddling Dio's arms; however, before he can deliver the killing blow, the vampire flash freezes almost his entire body. Taking the opportunity to taunt Dire, Dio shatters his body leaving only his head in tact. Dio then tells Jonathan that he will kill him next when a rose strikes him in the eye, the rose coming from Dire's severed head, which conveniently landed in a pot of roses. Dio then smashes Dire's head in anger at the scar he gave him.
