02x46 - DIO's World, Part 2

[bunniefuu]

What are you doing, Kakyoin?

I've got it.

I know how to find the secret
of his Stand.

What?

For Noriaki Kakyoin,
Hierophant Green is a reminder.

It's about Noriaki.

He makes no attempt to socialize
with the other children.

It's not that he's disliked.

He seems rather reserved;
too reserved, in fact.

As his teacher,
I'm very concerned.

I'm ashamed to say,

but I'm afraid
I don't understand it either.

It was always the same loop of thoughts
running through my head:

We all live in cities,
and meet all sorts of people.

But how often do we make
a genuine human connection?

All of my classmates'
have address books

filled with their friends' names.

Each one of them must have
a book of fifty,

maybe one hundred names.

Mom has dad, and dad has mom.

But I'm different.

I'm sure rock stars
and TV celebrities

have tens of thousands of friends.

But I'm different.

I'll never have any friends.

No one will ever get me.
No one can see Hierophant Green.

How can I relate to someone
who can't see the real me?

That's how I used to think.

Until I met Mr. Joestar, Jotaro,
Polnareff, and Avdol.

Why does the mere thought
of Avdol and Iggy

make the hairs on my back
stand on end?

I know.
It's because they're

the first people
who treated me like a friend.

Our goal to defeat Dio, together.

Our journey
may've been short-lived,

but we grew to be true friends.

For Noriaki Kakyoin,
Hierophant Green was a revelation!

I'll make Hierophant Green
the way it used to be.

Invisible to everyone!

I'll make Hierophant imperceptible
to reveal Dio's secret

before finishing him off for good!

EPISODE : DIO'S WORLD, PART

Look, Jotaro!

The cars are totaled!

Up there.

The old man and Dio are up
on the roof.

I see only Kakyoin and Joseph
before me.

Interesting.

They split up to attack me
from both sides.

Jotaro and Polnareff must be coming
after me from behind.

Futile.

This is...

Kakyoin's Hierophant Green!

He turned it into a web?

-This is...
-That's right!

The web fires on contact.

And it has you completely surrounded
for meters in every direction!

I can sense you
and your Stand's every move!

Take this, Dio!
Twenty-meter radius Emerald Splash!

You fool. Find out for yourself.

The true power of The World

is the power to rule the world!

Show me your Stand, Dio!

The World!

What? Kakyoin!

Something just sent him
hurtling through the air!

But how?

Kakyoin!

What just happened?

Did he get me?

It's no use. It must be fatal.

I can't speak
or even move my finger.

It's : .

And midnight in Japan.

I wonder what mom and dad
are doing.

I suppose they're already asleep.

I'm sorry for causing you
so much worry.

Noriaki Kakyoin's last thoughts were not
of his parents back in Japan.

Now his parental musings
had given way to the single question

that bewildered him
more than any other.

I can sense any movement
within Hierophant Green's web.

But Dio managed to break
the entire web in one moment.

Not one strand at a time,

but all of them at once.

Without even a ten-thousandth
of a second difference.

How did he instantaneously shatter
an entire -meter-radius area?

How?

Not even a slight delay...

How all at once?

How?

Kakyoin!

Enough! Hermit...

Joseph, you're next.

For Jonathan's body to finally
become completely mine,

I must drink the blood
of a Joestar.

Now's as good a time as any,
don't you think?

Dio!

Why all at once?
Without the slightest delay in time...

Time...

Time...

The time!

I got it.

How could this be?
There's no other explanation.

I have to tell
the others somehow!

The disturbing reality
behind his ability.

I have to tell Mr. Joestar.

Otherwise, everyone will...

die.

You're not getting away with this!

I'll take that body back,
for Granny Erina!

Erina? That country bumpkin?

Nonsense.

I predict I drink all of your blood.
Then you die.

Joseph Joestar!

Die!

My last Emerald Splash...

A final pointless attack?

Behold, a "hero"
in the throes of death...

I suppose that was
his last pathetic attempt

to make his mark on the world.

No!

Kakyoin would never
just throw in the towel

with some meaningless attack.

Why did he strike the clock?

What does it mean?

Was he trying to tell me something?

It's a message.

I have nothing left...

Mister Joestar...

You must understand.

You must tell the others.

Kakyoin!

Noriaki Kakyoin
died that moment.

NORIAKI KAKYOIN
DECEASED

Hermit Purple!

Prepare yourself, Dio!

Hamon of the Sun!

You senile old fool!
Your Stand is the weakest of all!

You're not escaping me!

Kakyoin,
why did you destroy the clock?

You were trying
to tell me something

by aiming for the clock tower,
weren't you?

It must mean something!

It's Mr. Joestar!

And Dio's chasing him.

Where's Kakyoin?

Did you, Kakyoin,

in the face of death,
figure out the secret of his Stand?

Destroying the clock
with Emerald Splash.

Destroying the clock's hands.

Stopping the clock.

Impossible! Dio's Stand...

The power of The World...

It can stop time!

Take this, Dio!
Twenty-meter radius Emerald Splash!

The World!

Behold The World.

Since time is stopped for you,
you likely see and feel nothing.

Die, Kakyoin!

You don't even know
you're about to die.

You have no knowledge
of what has just occurred.

I got it, Kakyoin!

Your dying message... I got it!

HERMIT PURPLE
JOSEPH JOESTAR

A Stand that can freeze time?

Freeze time and still move freely
within space?

That's unbelievable!

A Stand like that,
can anyone beat it?

Calm down and think!

The word "panic"
isn't in my vocabulary.

I will find a way...

I will find a way to defeat him!

He's gone!

What's the matter?

Aren't you going to hit me, Dio?

I thought you were going
to drink my blood.

So you're running Hamon through
your body to protect yourself.

You've wrapped your body
with Hamon-infused Hermit Purple,

like a cloak of high-voltage wires.

Very resourceful.
Truly a geriatric genius.

Same to you.

You figured out I was using Hamon
and made sure not to touch me.

Perceptive son of a...

But I figured one thing out
about your Stand.

You can stop time,
but only for a short while.

Only about three to four seconds,
I'd say.

If you could stop time longer,

you would've already k*lled us
back at your mansion,

and you wouldn't have had
to come after us.

So you understand
The World's ability?

Kudos, Joseph.

It was Kakyoin who figured it out.

Kakyoin didn't die in vain!

And so what?

So what if you know my ability?

What can your pathetic Hamon do?

-Hermit Purple and Hamon!
-Enough!

I can k*ll you without touching
the Hamon!

Hey, look.

Some old man fell out of the sky!

I bet he's Santa Claus!

What were you doing on the roof?

Looking for pretty girls below?

Old man!

Jotaro! Stay back!

Don't come near me!

Jotaro... Such good timing.

But he's still out of my range.

I'll finish Joseph off first.

Jotaro! The World controls time!

It's a Stand that can stop ti--

The World!

In the beginning, I could stop time
only long enough to blink.

But as my neck began to heal,

I was able to stop time
for two seconds, then three.

Now I can stop time
for as long as five seconds.

Then again, time is stopped,

so all I can say is that it feels
like five seconds.

Soon I'll be able to stop time
for one minute...

Then ten minutes, an hour...

And later, as long as I desire!

How fun it will be.

Being able to stop time
to my heart's content...

Oh, I almost forgot.

Joseph's protecting his body
with Hamon.

Hamon was a thorn in my side
one hundred years ago,

but it's powerless
against The World.

Futile!

Joseph, grandson of Jonathan,

you're dead!

One...

Zero.

THE WORLD
DIO

Old man!

Stay back! Run... Jotaro...

Don't get near him.

Keep your...

distance...

Stay away from him...

He's... invincible...

I've already taken care of Kakyoin.

Polnareff must be hiding somewhere.

But it doesn't matter.

You're next, Jotaro!

You bastard.

Dio!

Oh? So you want to fight?

Instead of running,
you're moving in closer.

How ungrateful. And after
your dear grandfather, Joseph,

gave his life to tell you
the power of The World.

He was so desperate,
like a pathetic student struggling

to fill in the last few answers of a test
as the final seconds tick by...

I can't beat you to a pulp
from far away.

Oh, then approach as you must.

You're slow! The World
is the most powerful Stand.

The World's speed and power
far outmatches your Star Platinum,

regardless
of its time-stopping ability.

Your Stand is similar
to my Star Platinum.

We don't have long range,

but we have incredible
power and precision.

I always wanted to see
how much stronger

The World is than Star Platinum.

Though it seems pointless
even to compare.

You wanted to compare?

All you did
was pat me on the leg.

Well, I guess you did rip
my , -yen pants, though.

Why are you Joestars so stubborn?

You can never admit defeat,
can you?

Fine, I'll accept your provocation
and resume our comparison.

A comparison of punching speed, eh?

Futile!

I first experienced stopped time
half a year ago.

It began when everything around me
seemed to have stopped.

It will be The World's true power
that deals the final blow!

The World, stop time!
