Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak - Chapter 14
Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak #14 (クレイジー
Summary
Hol Horse struggles to get Ryoko to return to her senses. Believing he is not cut out for this situation, he recalls Devo the Cursed mocking him in the past for being nothing like an emperor, since he hides behind people like J. Geil. Hol Horse was hoping to get The Lovers card instead, but Enya told him that he was fated to get The Emperor, despite her thinking her son would have been more suitable for that card. Devo claimed that he would be the one to take down the Joestar Group alone, so Hol Horse and everyone else should just stay away. Hol Horse regrets that he is just behaving how Devo said he would, always wanting to run away when the situation turns dire.
Suddenly, Ryoko regains her senses in reality after Noriaki's soul left the doll in the memory she was experiencing. She unknowingly pushes Hol Horse and he falls, but manages to grab onto the ledge. Ryoko assumes Hol Horse did something to her but he explains he was just looking for a comic book. Ryoko remembers seeing Hol Horse in Tohth and believes he is connected to DIO. She asks if he knows what happened to her cousin Noriaki, but Hol Horse stammers, unable to respond. Since he stays silent, she grabs the gun on the ground and points it at Hol Horse, demanding that he answers what he did to Noriaki.
Josuke is surprised to see Karaiya has actually tried attacking him with a welding tool. He asks what Karaiya's goal is for sending Petsounds after them, but Karaiya merely mumbles before suddenly laughing. He reveals that he has managed to lure Josuke toward him and activates Petsounds's Stand to make Josuke hear the "most powerful sound". Petsounds gets back up and screeches out The World's Stand cry as it is about to punch Josuke multiple times in rapid succession. Karaiya mentions that the rule of Stands not working when the user cannot fight anymore does not apply in the situation because he and Petsounds are separate beings and Josuke has not finished off the parrot yet.
Karaiya believes he is victorious, but Josuke is mostly unharmed, aside from complaining about his ears ringing from the noise. Karaiya is shocked as to how Josuke is fine after experiencing the most powerful Stand rush in Petsounds's memories and Josuke reveals that when he was stuck in the previous illusion he broke the parrot's beak when he punched in front of himself. Josuke realized then that the secret to Petsounds's ability is parroting back the exact noises it hears. Since its beak was broken, it was off-key, and thus only produced random squawking instead of an actual attack. Josuke also figured out that Petsounds ate a part of Karaiya's body, so he uses Crazy Diamond to reattach the piece of Karaiya's ear that was in Petsounds's stomach. Finally, since Karaiya mentioned wanting to stand above all humans to look down on them, Josuke decides to give him exactly what he asks for. His Stand does a barrage of punches, tangles the cutting torch around Karaiya's body and fuses it with his skin, and also fuses his arms to a curtain behind him. As Karaiya flies off the building, the curtain floats above him like a parachute, and the cutting torch attached to his cheek shoots up fire, turning Karaiya into a hot air balloon drifting over the skies of Morioh.
