Summary

Jotaro meets Nukesaku who is a Vampire , but defeats him easily. Meanwhile Polnareff confronts DIO at last, who reveals his Stand The World . DIO momentarily retreats when Jotaro, Kakyoin and Joseph break through an outer wall and let sunlight enter. Polnareff warns them about The World's power, and the Joestar group, after sensing an ambush, get out of the mansion and split into two group. It is night and DIO can roam free in Cairo. He opts to pursue Kakyoin and Joseph who try to deduce The World's power. Kakyoin ambushes DIO with an Emerald Splash from all direction, but DIO's power is revealed: he stops time and punches Kakyoin throught the stomach. In his last thoughts Kakyoin deduces that DIO can stop time and manages to transmit the message to Joseph who in his turn transmit the message to Jotaro. However DIO stabs Joseph, who loses consciousness.

The fight between Jotaro and DIO begins. DIO stops time but panicks for a moment when he sees Jotaro's finger moving during the stopped time. He figures that it is a bluff, but Jotaro only lured DIO into thinking that and Star Platinum manages to punches through DIO. DIO heals and then stops time again, however he is now throwing numerous knives from several direction, forcing Jotaro to spend the time he's allowed to move. Jotaro is hit by the knives and tries to fake being dead. After incapacitating Polnareff who tried to ambush DIO, the Vampire finally approaches Jotaro, who lands a hit on DIO's head. The hit is more severe than DIO expects and he tries to flee, only for Jotaro to catch up and Star Platinum to pummel him away. However DIO proclaims he outsmarted Jotaro, as he lands near the fresh corpse of Joseph Joestar.

DIO drains Joseph of his blood, completing his synchronization with Jonathan Joestar's body. Now fully empowered, DIO can stop time longer and seemingly finishes off Jotaro by crushing him under a steamroller. However Jotaro unlocks his own time-stopping ability and uses it to counteract The World: managing to defeat DIO once and for all. Jotaro then revives Joseph using DIO's blood for a transfusion. The Speedwagon Foundation brings DIO's corpse out into the desert, where Jotaro and Joseph remember their fallen allies as DIO's body turns to ash during the sunrise.

Holy Kujo awakens at last from her coma, now fully healed and excited for her family to be returning home. Meanwhile, Jotaro and Joseph make their goodbyes to Polnareff in the Cairo airport, parting wordlessly in deep friendship.
