Trading blows with Santviento, Joseph employs his usual wit, but the jokes fall as flat as the Hamon. Stroheim surprises as he sheds light on the lethal Pillar Men, leaving Joseph hanging in more ways than one.
In search of the mysterious Pillar Man, Joseph arrives in Mexico to promising news but deadly resistance. Now the German army's thirst for power may have awakened an unstoppable power—even for Joseph.
Bullets fly and Hamon reverberates as brassy Joseph battles the Hamon master-turned-vampire Straizo. Later, an ominous revelation pulls Joseph to Mexico.
It's 1938, and hotheaded Londoner Joseph and his grandmother, Erina, have arrived in New York, where he wastes no time brandishing his innate tendencies—especially when he learns of Speedwagon's expedition.
Jonathan takes Erina's hand in marriage before embarking on a celebratory journey to America. But two stowaways unwittingly change the course of history for all those onboard.
With sword in hand and a team of Hamon masters at his side, Jonathan sets out to save Poco's sister. When one slithery demon makes its move, Jonathan steps in, igniting an all-out war with his “brother.”
Conquering his own fear, an unlikely star opens an opportunity for Zeppeli and Jonathan. But as a prophecy from Zeppeli's past unfolds dramatically in a clash of life, death, and succession, a true hero triumphs.
Just as Jonathan's heroism transforms one foe's hatred into humanity, an even greater behemoth drives the crew to a knightly training camp, complete with a medieval chamber of death.
Key to defeating the Boss in hand, Polnareff waits for Bucciarati and crew. But the one who appears before him first is none other than the Boss of the Passione himself, Diavolo. The tides may not be the only things shifting in the battle yet to come.
The curtains are down on his skirmish with Secco, but Bucciarati must race against time to reach the Colosseum as he realizes his body is nearing the end of the line. Unfortunately, he's not the only one who catches on to his deteriorating condition.
One fierce battle ends in Cioccolata's defeat, but another unfolds after Secco listens to Cioccolata's revealing final voicemail. Bucciarati sinks into an intense underground struggle to stop Secco from reaching the secret stationed at the Colosseum.
Branching off from Bruno, who opts to tackle the underground swimmer Secco, Giorno and Mista chase Cioccolata as he flies to spread rotten ruin upon Rome. Their battles unfold in front of a mystery ally silently awaiting their arrival at the Colosseum.
No sooner than Bruno and team set foot on the shore near Rome the team finds a flesh-eating mold devouring everyone in sight. It's the work of Cioccolata, made worse by his partner Secco, who records the tortured faces of his victims to be viewed later.
With Abbacchio's replaying ability interminably stamped in stone, Bruno and team analyze the cryptic face and fingerprints left behind when a mysterious call arrives. They must race to the Colosseum, the caller warns, if they hope to ever defeat the Boss.
A picturesque Sardinian cliff becomes the bloody backdrop to Doppio's sudden dominance over Risotto, courtesy of Narancia's own Stand. On the beach below, Abbacchio works to rewind time 15 years to identify the identity of a certain photographer.
Having discovered there is more to skittish Doppio than meets the eye, Risotto uses his Stand to manifest various metallic instruments of torture from within his enemy. Fortunately for Doppio, a way to foresee the inevitable offers a glimmer of hope.
Bruno and team make an emergency landing in Sardegna where the Hitman Team leader, Risotto, is also determined to uncover a certain mystery. Doppio, a timid, wide-eyed teen, the result of a seemingly impossible pregnancy, has his own goals on the island.
At cruising altitude, Trish faces a voracious and fleshy mass of a Stand that strikes at the slightest movement. Meanwhile, Giorno's incessantly pulsating broach, the key to the team's survival, lies waiting—as does an unseen force within Trish.
Bruno et al head to Marco Polo airport to venture to Sardegna to discover the truth behind Trish's father. On the tarmac, however, is a swollen, neckless Stand user who, the team discovers while airborne, is linked to the freshly severed fingers onboard.
As Giorno is teleported between puddles with Squalo's shark attached firmly to his jugular, Narancia tries to sniff out the perpetrator using his CO2 tracer but is inhibited by Tiziano's tongue-fusing Stand, frustrating himself and Bruno's team.
