Seven years later in 1888, JoJo and Dio are supposedly getting along, though JoJo is still fearful of Dio. Meanwhile, Dio plots to liberate the Joestar family of their fortune.

As Dio falls following his battle with JoJo, he decapitates himself before the ripple reaches his head, which is recovered by his zombie servant Wang Chung.

As expected, Straizo recovers from Joseph's attack and uses the laser eye attack Dio used to seemingly pierce through JoJo's head and neck. However, this turns out to be a clever trick by Joseph.

Wanting to teach JoJo to control his Ripple powers, Caesar takes him to Venice to meet his teacher, Lisa Lisa.

Kars demonstrates his new powers, turning his hand into a flesh-eating squirrel that deals damage to Stroheim. The sun rises, leaving a shocking discovery.
