Disconcerted at the sight of Kira seemingly having two Stands, Koichi is easily defeated when Killer Queen stomps Echoes on the floor. Kira, deducing that he has three minutes to kill Koichi, decides to pay him back his public humiliation with a severe beating. However Koichi shatters Kira's confidence when he steals his wallet, learns his name, and exposes how easily Kira will be caught. Outraged, Kira sends Killer Queen punch through Koichi.
While Josuke and Okuyasu are still running, Kira tries to disintegrate Koichi is distracted by Koichi's inside-out sock, after fixing it, he is then interrupted by Jotaro Kujo, still heavily wounded, but whose Star Platinum is more than enough to pummel Kira and send him crashing into a garbage bin. Kira and Jotaro then both fall unconscious. When Kira wakes up, he hears Josuke and Okuyasu, and sees that Josuke is healing Koichi and Jotaro. When Josuke and Okuyasu corner him, he decides to fake being a bystander who was caught in the explosion.
