The Mist of Vengeance (報復の霧, Hōfuku no Kiri) is the sixth episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OVA. It adapts Chapter 154 through Chapter 157, along with Chapter 210 of the manga.

Summary

Hol Horse returns to DIO's lair to report his failure. DIO expresses his dissatisfaction and taunts Hol Horse, making him try to shoot him. DIO suddenly reappears behind Hol Horse, impressed by the gunman's composure and leaving. Hol Horse realizes the gap between them. It is revealed that the scene was a dream of the past and Hol Horse is now in the desert.

The group is now in Arabia refueling their truck, it has been a month since their departure. When Enya summons Hol Horse, she drives a pick into his wrist, exclaiming that he left J. Geil to die and as such deserves death. She then uses her Stand, Justice. A deadly fog then takes control of Hol Horse' arm, forcing him to shoot himself with Emperor.

A heavy fog sets in, forcing the group to stop at the next town. The streets are deserted and the only people they can find at a few fresh corpses or people covered in pimples. The first friendly face they meet is a kind old woman inviting them to stay the night at her hotel. In reality, this woman is Enya in disguise.

The group enters her hotel, but Jotaro gets suspicious when she calls Joseph by her name and Polnareff mentions that she's only using her right hand. Nonetheless, Enya deflects their suspicions. Waken up by a nightmare, Polnareff goes to the hotel's bar and meets a beautiful woman, who is Enya is disguise. Meanwhile, the hotel is getting surrounded by a crowd. Hol Horse barges in from the closet, having survived Enya. Enya is forced to reveal herself and sics the clients of the bar, revealed to be zombies, on Polnareff.

Manga/OVA Differences

• Hol Horse's meeting with DIO is shown as a flashback prior to his meeting with Enya, rather than before the Joestar group's fight with D'Arby.
  • Hol Horse reports Polnareff's betrayal rather than Mariah and Alessi's defeats.
  • Hol pulls the trigger right before DIO appears behind him. In the original story, DIO disappears before Hol Horse can shoot.
• The setting of the Justice fight is moved from Pakistan to Arabia.
• A scene is added of the group stopping at a gas station to map out their journey.
• Joseph is shown using the phones at the gas station and hotel to call someone, later revealed to be Avdol.
• Hol Horse's meeting with Enya is moved to before she lures the group to her hotel.
  • Justice's true form is not seen.
• Joseph attempting to get in the group's jeep and narrowly avoiding a spiked fence is removed.
• Enya first appears to the group bringing the police to carry away the corpse.
  • Enya appears to the group in her true form as an old lady, rather than her usual younger form in the adaptation.
• Enya mentioning the name "Joestar" and Jotaro's subsequent interrogation is moved from their first meeting to just before Joseph signs the guest book.
• A series of original scenes see the group checking into their rooms and being stalked by Justice's puppets.
• Enya's usual disguise as a young woman is logged as a guest at the hotel. Polnareff's later encounter with her occurs while she is in this form.
• Justice's first attack on Polnareff comes from a bartender, rather than Enya herself. Enya does not reveal herself until after Polnareff fends him off.

Trivia

• The French dub changes the dialogue in some scenes adding information not present in the original Japanese dialogue nor the manga:
  • When first attacking Hol Horse, Enya mentions her Stand is able to create holes in people because it is acidic.
  • When revealing herself to Polnareff, Enya mentions that J. Geil's father had a Stand as well which could control a spirit, although it is unclear if Enya was referring about him being able to control his Stand, or if it refers about him being able to control someone else's spirit.
