Chapter 39
Fire and Ice, Jonathan and Dio (1), originally Blood Battle! JoJo vs. Dio in the WSJ release, is the thirty-ninth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the thirty-ninth chapter of Phantom Blood.
Summary
Dire's last attack brings Jonathan's attention to a way of defeating Dio, so he asks Speedwagon to give him the sword Bruford had bequeathed him. Now in possession of the sword Jonathan infuses it with the Ripple intending to attack Dio immediately without leaving an opening for Dio to use his flash freeze. As Jonathan approaches him, an enraged Dio shouts angrily about the Ripple and Jonathan's arrogance, revealing his ugly true nature.
Nearby, Poco and his sister are ambushed by four zombies, only to be saved when Straizo comes to their aid. At this, the zombies all turn their attention towards him and they all introduce themselves as Page, Jones, Plant, and Bornnam respectively. After they introduce themselves, however they all use the Blood Vessel Needle Attack which Straizo simply dodges by jumping into the air. Next, he makes a chandelier fall on top of all of them trapping them. Then he comes down on top of the chandelier and sends a Ripple through it, melting all of them.
Back with the fight with Jonathan and Dio the two of them stand evenly matched. Dio then leaps at Jonathan who throws several Ripple roses at Dio, but Dio simply blocks all of them. However, because of this Jonathan gets the opportunity to get to Dio's right side, which is his only blind spot because of his wound from Dire. Jonathan then slices Dio's arm off with his sword and cuts Dio straight down through his head.
Speedwagon thinks Dio dead from this but Dio speaks up disproving him as he has frozen Jonathan's sword. Dio then shoves his hand into Jonathan’s neck and begins to drain his blood…
