Summary

This section requires expansion.

Illuso has cornered Fugo alone in the mirror world with his Man in the Mirror, leaving Fugo's Stand Purple Haze alone in the real world and his two companions Giorno Giovanna and Leone Abbacchio ignorant of what has happened. Abbacchio decides to put the objective first and runs toward the dog mosaic. Unfortunately, Illuso notices the pebbles Abbacchio is moving by running on the rocky road, and thus leaves Fugo be to intercept the latter. Arriving at the dog mosaic and entering in the atrium, Leone sees a key inside of a crack but also notices a mirror shard inside of which Illuso approaches him.

Abbacchio understands the situation and kicks the mirror, shattering into pieces. However, Illuso grabs one of the pieces and manages to drag Abbacchio's hand before in the mirror before he can grab the key. Indeed, the small mirror shards only multiply the places where Illuso can attack from. However, when Man in the Mirror drags Abbacchio into the mirror world, Abbacchio unexpectedly grabs the Stand's throat. "Abbacchio" is revealed to be Moody Blues, which has been turned into Abbacchio to trick Illuso. For his part, Abbacchio is observing the mirror world through a shard. Ensues a close quarters battle in which Moody Blues emerges victorious, having a physical advantage of the ability-oriented Man in the Mirror. But when Illuso is punched to the ground, he grabs another shard and orients it at Abbacchio's shard, creating a reflection that allows him to drag his foe into the mirror world too. Ejecting half of Moody Blues and forcing half of Abbacchio inside to stick them together, Illuso neutralizes Abbacchio in both worlds and is now free to take the key.

Enjoying his advantage, Illuso threatens to stick a mirror shard inside of Abbacchio's mouth. However, the assassin then notices the key has disappeared and Moody Blues' clock rewinding. Abbacchio has cut off his hand and is now rewinding Moody Blues's hand in the real world to bring the key to Giorno in hopes the newbie will escape. Illuso runs to the corner of the street but laughs, seeing Giorno staying still with the key in his hand. When Giorno finally notices him, Illuso grabs the boy and drags him inside the mirror world. To his horror, the assassin sees that Giorno has taken one of Purple Haze's bulbs and cracks it, his hand starting to decompose. Since Man in the Mirror has touched Giorno's hand, Illuso is also affected.

In a desperate move, Illuso jumps out of the mirror, leaving his infected arm behind. All three members of Team Bucciarati are now trapped inside with the assassin out. Fugo is present and laments their defeat as well as Giorno's impending death, but Giorno declares that not all is lost. A brick suddenly moves and Giorno explains that he's turned a real world brick into a snake, its heat sense allowing them to track Illuso. With a way to guess where the enemy is, Fugo can now command Purple Haze to grab him.

Cornered against a wall, Illuso sees Purple Haze's deadly fist coming to him. But the assassin then sees a small glass shard and blocks Purple Haze with all of Man in the Mirror's power with the intent of pushing it inside the mirror. Suddenly, a capsule is ejected into the wall and cracks, releasing the virus directly into Illuso's face anyway. Facing his own doom, the assassin can only scream at the sight of his body decomposing and Purple Haze punching him, finally turning into a puddle of liquefied flesh.

The mirror world disappears and all find themselves back into the real world, but Giorno is still infected with Purple Haze. However, Giorno declares his victory, looking at the snake he just created. Having created it inside of Purple Haze's virus cloud, Giorno is sure that the snake has developed the perfect antibodies to counter the virus and extracts them before putting them inside his chest and saving himself. Impressed by Giorno's ingeniosity, Fugo declares his respect for the boy but Giorno also expresses that everyone, especially Abbacchio, have contributed to victory. Abbacchio, listening from behind a corner, swears to beat Giorno up. With great difficulty, the trio has emerged victorious.

Meanwhile in Napoli's train station, the head of the assassins looks over a corpse, picking up a piece of paper.
