Naruto World.
"Is it over?"
Seeing this, Kakashi was somewhat disappointed. He thought Jotaro would make a desperate comeback, but he didn't expect the final result to be Dio's victory.
This clearly disappointed him.
"Sore wa dou kana (I wouldn't be so sure about that)." Sasuke looked at Kakashi's disappointed expression and said with a smile, "I was watching the video with my Sharingan active."
"You, Kakashi, have already deactivated your Sharingan because you're low on Chakra, but I've been watching very closely."
Sasuke wore a very confident smile. Although he only had a Two-Tomoe Sharingan in one eye, it was enough to watch the video 'slowly'.
He had spotted something strange; judging by the fight between Jotaro and Dio just now, it definitely wasn't a coincidence!
"Oh? Sasuke, what did you see?" Naruto looked at Sasuke with great curiosity, not understanding what he had spotted.
Sakura Haruno looked at Sasuke and asked in a wheedling tone, "Sasuke-kun, what did you see?"
'Yesss!!! Even though I don't care about two muscular guys fighting, being able to talk to Sasuke-kun is a victory in itself!!!'
Sakura Haruno's 'inner self' roared.
"Heh heh, you'll see. The answer is about to be revealed." Sasuke naturally didn't intend to say it yet; he was thoroughly enjoying this moment.
That feeling of being one step ahead and seeing through everything was truly wonderful.
In the video.
"Nine seconds have passed."
Dio stood atop the roller. Even he couldn't help but sigh with relief, "It's done. It's finally over."
Looking at the 'blood' beneath the roller, Dio continued, "[Star Platinum] has finally fallen to my [The World]."
"Immortality! Eternal life! Hahahahahahaha!!"
Dio laughed heartily, then suddenly exclaimed with excitement, "The power of Stands! (Stands are afraid of me!)"
"Hahahahahahaha!! This proves that no one can surpass me, Dio."
After finishing off Jotaro, Dio was exceptionally excited and thrilled. The Joestar lineage was now extinct; no one was his match.
"Puny humans, mere ants! I shall rule over you all! Before my wisdom and power, bow down and submit!"
Facing the light, Dio continued to laugh, "The time I can stop has exceeded ten seconds!"
"Very well! I'll go confirm Jotaro's corpse and drain whatever blood he has left—if there's even any left to drain."
With that, Dio intended to move, but he found he couldn't move at all.
"Wha... what's happening? My body's movements are so... slow. No... that's not it! It's not that my movements have slowed down!"
At that moment, Dio realized something was wrong and cried out in shock, "It's that I can't move! How... how is this possible!!! My... my body... won't move at all."
This scene stunned everyone watching the video. What was going on?!
Why was Dio, the 'victor', frozen in time? Could it be that Jotaro wasn't dead?!
"Dio, eleven seconds have passed."
Suddenly, Jotaro appeared. Standing beside the roller, he looked at the other and said calmly, "It seems this is the limit of your movement."
"Wha... what?!!!" Dio was exceptionally shocked, almost unable to believe it.
Not just him, but the Dio outside the video hadn't expected this either, his eyes widening in the same way. How could this be?! Why wasn't Jotaro dead!!!
As if sensing Dio's thoughts, Jotaro said very calmly, "I stopped time. At the ninth second, I escaped."
Naruto World.
Sasuke smiled. It was indeed that moment—the dust had clearly moved, only to stop again, just as he had guessed.
This person named Jotaro had escaped at that very moment.
In the video.
"Good grief."
Looking at Dio, Jotaro raised his finger and pointed at him, saying seriously, "To finish you off, I don't even need a single second!!"
"Jo... Jotaro." Dio was utterly shocked. He continued, "How is it possible... you actually stopped time."
"And at the very moment my nine seconds of movement ended!"
Dio clearly couldn't accept reality, for just a second ago he thought he had killed Jotaro and could let his guard down.
Yet in the next second, he was the one frozen in time.
"How does it feel, Dio?" Jotaro approached Dio, his tone calm. "The feeling of someone approaching you from behind when you can't move."
"It's like a man who can only hold his breath underwater for a minute. After being submerged for a full minute, just as he surfaces to take a breath..."
*Thud!* Jotaro placed his hand on Dio's shoulder and continued, "...he's suddenly dragged back down! Am I right?"
"But facing you, I don't feel the slightest bit of pity."
As soon as he finished speaking, [Star Platinum] appeared with an "ora!"
It kicked and snapped Dio's leg!
"Time resumes."
The gray world vanished, replaced by a world full of color.
DIO gasped for air, lying on the ground, looking exceptionally 'helpless'.
"I won't feel any pity for you at all, let alone think you're even slightly pathetic," Jotaro said as he jumped down from the roller.
He looked at DIO and continued, "But if I just beat you to death like this, it would be too easy on you."
"I'm sure when I look back on this later, I'll feel uneasy. How many seconds will it take for those legs of yours to heal? Three seconds? Or four?"
"Once you've recovered, I'll have Star Platinum pummel you again! Come at me!"
"Just like a cowboy duel in a Western—it's basically like saying, 'Draw, let's see who's faster.'"
Whether it was the DIO inside the video or the one outside, his face darkened.
'To actually look down on me... but! But Jotaro! In the end, you're nothing more than a human.'
'Heh heh heh!'
DIO's injuries were slowly healing as he thought to himself: 'You can only think with the logic of a short-lived human. What's this about feeling uneasy looking back? Not wanting to leave regrets in your life?'
'That kind of boring mindset, which isn't even worth as much as rat droppings in a latrine, will be the death of you.'
DIO looked up at Jotaro, still mocking him: 'I, DIO, am not like you. My logic for action is simple—there is only one rule! That is "to win, and then to rule!" Only that! I'll be satisfied as long as I achieve that.'
'What process, what methods...'
"Who the hell cares!!!"
DIO roared, and then blood sprayed from his unhealed wounds, blinding Jotaro.
"How's that! Take my 'Blood Blindness'! I'm going to win! Die!!!"
DIO summoned The World and launched an attack at Jotaro.
Demon Slayer World.
Seeing this, Agatsuma Zenitsu shouted, "What a despicable coward!!!!"
"As expected of a demon, their actions are so despicable." Rengoku Kyojuro's smile faded as he looked at DIO on the screen, as if seeing those man-eating demons.
Indeed, no matter which world it is, a demon is a demon—absolute evil.
Mhm! Except for Tanjiro's sister, of course.
Infinity Castle.
Kibutsuji Muzan smiled upon seeing DIO's sneak attack on Jotaro. This fellow named DIO was quite interesting.
This philosophy was twisted enough, shameless enough—he liked it!
One-Punch Man World.
"This guy is someone who will do anything for victory." Genos frowned slightly as he watched DIO's actions.
Being a hero of justice, he couldn't Stand the existence of evil, especially someone like DIO who was evil to the bone.
"He's lost," Saitama said very calmly. "That Jotaro won't give him another chance. Even though he said he'd give him a chance, he's already lost."
Type-Moon/Fate World.
Gilgamesh looked at DIO with utter disdain. Was this another vermin on the same level as Kibutsuji Muzan?
If Gilgamesh had slightly appreciated DIO during the earlier fight, then this final internal monologue and sneak attack...
...had made Gilgamesh feel that DIO's level of disgust was now second only to Kibutsuji Muzan.
Inside the video.
"ORA—!!!"
Without another word, Jotaro threw a punch. Star Platinum emerged from his body, and its fist landed a solid hit on The World's leg.
BOOM—!!!
A heavy sound echoed.
Cracks appeared on Star Platinum's fist, and blood flowed.
Seeing this, DIO gave a 'hmpf' and broke into a smile.
CRACK!
The sound of something shattering rang out. Fissures appeared on The World's thigh, then spread all the way up.
DIO himself began to crack apart as he shouted in disbelief, "What!!! How is this possible!! I, DIO!! I, DIO!!!"
BOOM—!!
With an explosion, DIO shattered.
"If you just wait like this until sunrise, you'll turn to ash." Jotaro looked at DIO and said in a flat tone, "There's only one reason you lost, DIO."
"A very simple reason: because you pissed me off."
As those words fell, Jotaro tugged at his hat, and the screen faded to black.
The great battle between Jotaro and DIO, this blood-stained Remembrance, had ended
