Summary
The battle between Josuke, Rai Mamezuku, Dododo De Dadada and Wonder of U continues. Because of Dododo De Dadada's ability, asbestos is gushing out of Mamezuku and Josuke's orifices the moment they expand their limbs. Although he has the advantage, Wonder of U still suspects that Josuke is hiding something. Rai warns Josuke that the Rock Insect is climbing onto the desk, prompting Josuke to swathe everything that's on the table to uncover it but Dododo has actually hidden beneath the desk and swings another stick into Josuke, cutting his neck.
Josuke cannot catch the attack and despite Rai's warnings, the Rock Insect keeps eluding him. Worse, more absestos comes out of Rai. When Dododo attacks again, Josuke manages to catch the stick with his hand and stands up. As Wonder of U notes the gambit, Josuke has Soft & Wet pummel the desk while protecting its fist with the bubbles to reach Dododo. Rai tears the asbestos off his eyes, enabling him to see that Dododo has already gotten away and is preparing an attack from behind Josuke. He warns Josuke, but it seems that Josuke's tactic has failed. As Wonder of U notes, he's just stood up and extended his legs and has been stung four times. So much asbestos is coming out of Josuke that Wonder of U predicts that his eyes will stop working soon. Dododo's crane comes down from the ceiling and the string is already around Josuke's neck; the Rock Insect is about to clog up Josuke's throat with asbestos.
Suddenly, Wonder of U realizes that Rai is clinging onto the ceiling, half-turned into wires. Crawling on the ceiling like a snake, Rai is able to extend his finger into a wire and cut down Dododo De Dadada, killing the Rock Insect. With that threat disposed of, Rai turns his attention to Wonder of U while Josuke recovers. Threatening the enemy Stand with his finger, Rai notes that he's a mere 2 centimeters away from it and wonder how any calamity would stop him. As he approaches the tip of his wire into Wonder of U's face, Rai begins to claim that the Stand's power of calamity could be a trick. Josuke wants Wonder of U to attack him instead. Wonder of U openly wonders what could happen as nobody has ever gotten this close to it but declares that still nobody can attack him. Then, Wonder of U presses on Rai's past, reminding him of the time his father died, how a mysterious insect laid waste to the Mamezuku's orchard, and how Rai's mother fell ill and died as she was overwhelmed with all the calamities that had happened. Angered by Wonder of U's taunt, Rai directly grabs it by the neck and threatens to impale it with his fingertip.
Suddenly, one of Rai's braids flies off. It is shown that Rai has narrowly missed Satoru Akefu's neck and that spherical chunks of flesh has been taken off his shoulder. Josuke sees that his own soap bubbles were responsible for wounding Rai. Wonder of U thus realizes that this was Josuke's trap : Josuke had laid several bubbles in the room but some of them were hidden and spinning at high speed. By letting Wonder of U come to him, Josuke had hoped to let these trapped bubble kill the enemy Stand but instead, by sheer unluck, these bubbles wounded Mamezuku instead. Worse, one of those bubbles just cut at Rai's head.
As Rai collapses, Wonder of U's confidence in its invincibility is reassured. However, Rai is not dead yet and declares that this fight is not over yet. Declaring that this "calamity" was instead "good fortune", Rai decides to show a hidden aspect hidden within every Stand but of which nobody is aware of. Letting a bit of wire go down his finger, Rai begins to spin the rope and explains to Josuke that his soap bubbles are actually soft, spinning lines. Opening his suit to reveal a gaping hole in his stomach, Rai reveals the existence of the Spin to Josuke.
