I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

"Shit-Dupava is the embodiment of spiritual energy. When one possesses an identical Stand, the strength of Shit-Dupava is determined by the Stand user's spiritual power and willpower!"

"Your will is no match for mine!"

"Hmph, is it really something to be so happy about just tearing my 20,000 yen pants? The other [me]... You're saying my will as DIO is inferior to yours?"

"Muda!"

Zavardo, who had disappeared, reappeared and attacked [DIO]'s Zavardo. [DIO] tried to defend, but after exchanging two punches, [DIO]'s Zavardo showed signs of being outmatched. His defense failed, and he was forced to dodge left and right. However, the force of the punches still hit [DIO]'s Zavardo's right cheek.

A bloodstain appeared on [DIO]'s face.

"Although I don't know what you, as another 'me,' have gone through, you say that my will, DIO, is inferior to yours? It's better not to make such a joke, one that even a dog would shake its head at."

"Ko no DIO is the master of the world, an emperor who can rule over everything! My will is stronger than anyone else's, my spirit is higher than anyone else's!"

"Awakening from a century-long slumber, I am destined to rule the entire world!"

"Even another version of myself couldn't stop me!"

"I, DIO, am still the emperor!"

Stands are powerful images generated from the life energy within the body. In Part 4, Jotaro defines them as spiritual energy, so the strength of Stands officially changes from the strength of life energy to the strength of spirit energy.

When a person's willpower is incredibly strong, the energy of their Stand will also break through its limits.

When Avdol died before Bobo's eyes, Bobo, driven by anger and excitement, unleashed the Silver Chariot's incredible speed and power, reaching a level of godlike speed on land.

In the fifth installment, due to his physical condition, Polnareff was in low spirits and even had difficulty controlling Silver Chariot. When Silver Chariot transformed into Silver Chariot Requiem, he couldn't even control it anymore.

In the final battle of Part 3, when Jotaro and DIO fought, Star Platinum and The World were evenly matched at the beginning. Star Platinum gained a slight advantage due to its Precision A, but it wasn't enough to shatter The World with a single punch. It was DIO who absorbed the old man's poisonous blood, which enraged Jotaro. In the end, his mental outburst allowed Star Platinum to shatter The World with a single punch.

But is DIO's will firm?

Very firm.

From seizing the Joestar family fortune as a child, to becoming a vampire and attempting to rule the world, to being resurrected after a century of slumber, and finally planning to rule the world again.

DIO has lived for over a hundred years, and his ambition and aspirations have never changed; in fact, they have continued to grow along with his incredible luck.

Even a hundred years cannot erase it.

His willpower is among the best in the JoJo series.

Although no one could have imagined at first that DIO, who was trying to rule the world, was actually only after acquiring the Josta family's fortune...

but......

"Want to compete in the speed of rapid typing?"

"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big!"

"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big!"

Under the control of [DIO] and DIO, the two Zavarudos rapidly swung their fists, creating afterimages all around them. It was as if countless hands were simultaneously punching each other, stirring up a storm. The five members of the Polnareff group standing at the gate could only watch the two invincible Stands fight here, without even having the thought of intervening.

Then, to their astonishment, golden light emanated from the two DIOs who were fighting, and then they actually flew up!?

Standing on the ground was no longer enough for them to fight freely; now they were even flying!

The two men's wooden fists clashed from the ground to the sky, their every move resembling the beginning of the universe, a surging force of chaos that seemed to obliterate time itself.

However, in the end, DIO still came out on top.

【DIO】Using his extensive experience, he dodged DIO's punch and then retaliated by punching DIO in the face.

The powerful attack didn't send DIO flying, but it still made him cough up blood.

"DIO, it's proven that your willpower is no match for mine. I've won this battle!"

Bai Mu looked at the villainous savior in front of him, and the aura of Da Qiao on his body suddenly became incredibly dazzling.

"Although you are 'me' from another world, this world doesn't need such an evil 'me'! Even if you are 'me'... no, it is precisely because you are 'me' that I must destroy you without hesitation!"

"Go to hell and confess to JoJo! My other self!"

"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph hmph... Repentance? What are you talking about! I, DIO, have never done anything worthy of repentance! In this world, it is only natural for the strong to dominate the weak, and it is only natural for the weak to be dominated. Ko no DIO is the emperor of the world, and it is only natural for him to dominate the world! Do you think that's how you win?"

DIO chuckled, and golden light surged as Zavarudo, who had been driven back, charged forward once more.

This time, Zavarudo's power is even greater than that of [DIO]!

A perfectly matched fistfight... no, a superior fistfight!

"H-How could this be!?"

DIO showed a panicked expression. How could his Zavaru be inferior to the other party's Zavaru?

This is impossible!

“Nothing is impossible! You’re right, the other [me]! Shit-Dupava is the Pava of spiritual power. The stronger my desire to rule the world becomes, the greater the power that Zavarudo can unleash!”

"Can your mental strength keep up with mine? If you want revenge on JoJo, then show me a mental strength stronger than mine! Another 'me'!"

"Hahahaha!!! Zawarudo!!!"

However, in response to DIO's words, DIO's expression became even more serious.

“DIO... From the day I met JOJO... I knew he was an idiot.”

"He's willing to stand up for strangers and risk danger for his friends, even though he's a bit clumsy... but I don't dislike people like him."

“At first, I did dislike him and wanted to compete with him. I wanted to prove that I was better and smarter than him, and I did succeed.”

"But... when I challenged him, and he looked at my malice but smiled and said he wouldn't lose to me, I realized... this person is someone I [DIO] would respect for a lifetime!"

"Let's learn together, strive together, and become the pride of our fathers!"

“As we grew up together, I accepted him... He became my best friend... I'm a lawyer, he's an archaeologist, and we did so much together!”

"That was truly a wonderful time in the past..."

"Although JOJO is dead... he still lives in my heart!"

"The will of JoJo is with me!"

"You ask me if I can keep up with your mental strength? No, that's not right! It's not like that!"

"Should I say, are you able to keep up with my mental strength?"

"—Having inherited JoJo's will, I will not lose to anyone!"

"DIO!!!!"

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Although you fight and peep on girls bathing, you are still a gentleman.

With a roar from [DIO], the golden light intensified instantly, illuminating the entire room with its golden will. [DIO]'s Zavaro also roared, its momentum becoming even stronger. It clenched its fist and slammed it out!

With the rise of power and the will to awaken, [DIO] reveals a side completely different from DIO!

This time, there was no longer a stalemate. This time, the will of gold went berserk. This time, DIO was defeated!

— DIO's fist shattered DIO's arm, and Zavarudo's arm cracked and then exploded. Along with Zavarudo's injury, DIO's arm also exploded, and crimson blood fell to the ground!

The wounds continued to spread, from his arms to his body and then to his head.

—DIO foresaw the future of death!

"H-How is this possible!?"

"ko no DIO...ko no DIO...!!!"

At this point, even if DIO wanted to stop time, it was too late.

His eyes widened in horror, filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible! Kono DIO, Kono DIO!!!"

DIO has cracked again.

Looking at DIO, who was now split in place, [DIO] fell from above, his eyes filled with gentlemanly justice.

"DIO, you'd never understand the time you spent with Jojo..."

"The dark will will eventually be swept away by the golden spirit!"

The five people and one dog standing at the door stared at the cracked DIO and the righteous [DIO], and were momentarily stunned.

Is DIO dead?

DIO, who had troubled them for fifty days... that villainous savior who had awakened from a century-long slumber, was dead just like that?

He died so abruptly? He died without even being able to use his Stand's abilities?

What? DIO's enemy is [DIO]? Oh well then.

Both have the ability to stop time, so the stats and mental strength become the key to measuring the strength of a Stand. Both sides have complete Stand stats, so mental strength becomes the key, and the side with stronger mental strength will naturally be the winner.

So now, the evil DIO has been defeated, and the righteous DIO has won!

"We won!!!!"

Polnareff let out a joyful shout!

"Finally, after a fifty-day journey, we have finally defeated DIO!!!"

"Mr. Joestar...we...won!"

"Ah, although I still find it hard to believe, we really won! That DIO, just like that, died right before our eyes!!!"

"Yare yare daze... [DIO]..."

The Egyptian gang was celebrating wildly. Although DIO's death was somewhat too casual, DIO was dead after all, and this fifty-day battle was their victory!

"Ya da ze! [DIO]! Thanks to you!"

Popo came to DIO's side, grabbed DIO's shoulder, and showed an excited smile.

DIO also breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the group of people celebrating at the gate.

Bobo, Avdol, Iggy, Kakyoin, the old man, Jotaro... the entire Sternritter are here!

"Mr. DIO, I'm truly sorry about earlier... I was wary of you because of your identity..."

Avdol walked up to DIO, frankly expressed his respect, and apologized for what had just happened.

Upon hearing this, Bobo scratched his head and chuckled.
