DIO's World: Farewell Friends (DIO(ディオ)の世界 さらば友よ, DIO no Sekai: Saraba Tomo yo) is the thirteenth and final episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OVA. It adapts Chapter 256 through Chapter 265 of the manga.

Summary

Jotaro and DIO's fight is about to begin. Joseph still agonizes from his wounds. Star Platinum and The World's clash devastates the street, but DIO has a clear physical edge. Amused, DIO stops time to finish off Jotaro but again Jotaro manages to survive punches from The World. When DIO attacks again, he realizes that Star Platinum can move in the stopped time, protecting its user. It then sends DIO flying. Jotaro begins to understand Star Platinum's power too.

Stopping time repeatedly, DIO sees that Jotaro can move to a point. To test Jotaro, DIO unveils dozens of knives and traps him midair, throwing his knives from all directions. Despite Star Platinum's speed, several knives hit their mark and Jotaro falls down into the concrete.

Jotaro has survived the attack thanks to the splinters on his chest but must play dead to lure DIO close to him. However, DIO is prudent and Jotaro must even stop his own heartbeat. Nonetheless, DIO rips out a road sign, intending to use it like a halberd. Thankfully, Polnareff intervenes and drives Silver Chariot's sword in DIO's brain. Jotaro is thus able to punch DIO's head. Letting Polnareff rest, Jotaro approaches DIO and pummels him but DIO is sent right next to Joseph's corpse. Sucking his blood, DIO has now healed completely.

Having reached the height of his power, DIO desecrates Joseph's corpse, angering Jotaro further. A violent fight ensues and although Jotaro is empowered by his wrath, DIO can stop time to up to nine seconds while being crazed with insanity. Jotaro is dominated completely until he lands on a bridge. DIO stops time and prepares for a last attack. DIO tries to crush Jotaro beneath a tank truck but Jotaro then stops time, evading death and immobilizing DIO. Star Platinum violently kicks DIO in the knee, making him fall. As a last-ditch attempt, DIO spurts blood in Jotaro's eye and tries to make The World kick his head off; thankfully, Star Platinum punches The World's leg and makes it explode in two alongside its user. Jotaro has definitely won.

Afterward, Joseph has revived thanks to transfusion. DIO's corpse is thrown into the red sea, and the surviving Joestars reminisce their fallen comrades. Later, Jotaro, Joseph and Polnareff have a last goodbye at the airport. Meanwhile, Holy has fully recovered and awaits for Jotaro and Joseph's return.

Manga/OVA Differences

  • The episode opens with a news report detailing the aftermath of Kakyoin and Joseph's battle with DIO.
  • DIO and Jotaro's first few clashes are omitted. The fight instead begins with their punch barrage stand-off.
  • Jotaro’s magnet trick is removed. Instead, Star Platinum is naturally able to move for one second within DIO’s time-stop, explaining how Jotaro survived his initial confrontation with The World.
  • DIO is sent flying into a butcher shop instead of a dinnerware shop.
  • DIO does not drain an innocent woman's blood to heal his wounds, as his wounds instead heal naturally.
  • Jotaro is only able to deflect DIO's knives for an instant, rather than two seconds like in the original story.
  • Rather than magazines, the bandages Jotaro applied to his broken ribs earlier are what protect him from the knives.
  • DIO tests Jotaro's vital signs before attempting to cut off his head and being attacked by Polnareff.
    • Star Platinum counterattacks DIO as he stops time against Polnareff, rather than as he attempts to decapitate Jotaro a second time.
    • DIO remains unaware of Vanilla Ice's defeat before Polnareff's attack. Likewise, Jotaro remains unaware of Iggy's death until Polnareff informs him.
  • Jotaro steps on the cover of the manhole DIO attempts to escape into, rather than approaching from inside.
  • Jotaro seeing Joseph's ghost is omitted.
  • The brawl after DIO sucks Joseph's blood is greatly extended. Highlights include DIO attempting to sink Jotaro to the ocean floor with a fishing boat, massacring civilians inside a bus, and destroying a pillar thrown at him by Star Platinum.
  • Unlike in the original story, DIO uses a tanker truck instead of a steamroller to crush Jotaro.
    • Time resumes after DIO deals the final blow. The tanker explodes from the damage Jotaro and DIO have dealt to it.
  • The World and Star Platinum's clash is mirrored physically by a kick from DIO and a punch from Jotaro.
  • Joseph's revival occurs offscreen in a Speedwagon Foundation helicopter. DIO's remains are dropped from the helicopter into the sea, rather than being exposed to sunlight in the desert.
  • The surviving heroes are seen at Cairo International Airport with their injuries covered by bandages, rather than already being fully healed.
  • Joseph puts a Gipsy Kings tape into his Walkman aboard the plane, rather than Get Back at the airport.
