Because in this world, the only person who can threaten his life is Jotaro.
It's natural to feel some "fear".
There is nothing shameful about admitting that fact.
He was full of respect for Da Qiao when he was defeated by her.
I never imagined I'd encounter something like this a second time in my life.
"However, the two sides are no longer on the same level in terms of combat strength."
"No matter how much you struggle, you can never beat me now!"
But then, DIO suppressed his laughter and spoke in a very serious tone.
"Platinum Star has surpassed the world in the past!"
"But the world now is beyond heaven."
"It's far stronger than your Platinum Star!"
Pointing to the Star Platinum in front of Jotaro, DIO was full of confidence.
"Then was then, and the present is now!"
"The law of victory is for me, DIO!"
That arrogant and outrageous manner was all too familiar to Jotaro.
He's still that arrogant bastard with absolute self-confidence.
(A true [overwrite].)
(The ability is based on what the hand can touch)
(He might use the time acceleration ability to [overwrite] himself)
(In that case.)
DIO floated in the air, which reminded Jotaro of the "aerial battle" they had fought on the streets of Egypt.
Unlike before when he used a Stand to achieve a reaction force, DIO was now truly flying in the sky.
The Platinum Star's range is insufficient to reach that location.
(But what's going on with this strange phenomenon?)
I could faintly sense fluctuations in my mental energy, something that had never happened before.
It seems that ever since he met DIO, his previously stagnant growth has begun to change.
"bring it on!"
"I will prove it to you!"
DIO flew up and approached directly, this time without using the time-accelerated [Overwrite] technique.
"OOLA OOLA OOLA OOLA!!!"
"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big!!!"
The intense pounding, accompanied by the familiar chants of both players, echoed throughout the spacious room.
DIO's hands never left his body; he simply wielded "World Beyond Heaven" and engaged in a familiar battle with Jotaro.
But unlike before, "World Beyond Heaven" failed to touch either Star Platinum or Jotaro.
Instead, Jotaro, controlling Star Platinum, accurately punched Star Platinum's arm, knocking Star Platinum's hand away.
"Crack!"
Every time Jotaro touches DIO, his body "explodes".
But those repeated rewrites have obscured this truth.
“Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!!”
"It seems you haven't wasted these past eleven years."
The first real clash with Jotaro after that death was the first one that truly occurred between them.
Seeing Jotaro manage to stop the attacks in this way, DIO acknowledged the opponent's immense potential for growth.
(But what if there's growth?)
(What you achieved in eleven years, I surpassed in a very short time.)
(World Beyond Heaven is far superior to Platinum Star!)
With a slight smile playing on his lips, DIO was completely unaware that he had misunderstood the situation.
"So that fate won't fool me anymore."
"So I'm going to change that shameful moment!"
With a new idea forming in his mind, DIO had no intention of continuing to argue with the other party.
"Jotaro! Be proud!"
"Afterwards, I will bury you with the true power of 'World Beyond Heaven'!"
[Overwrite] has been activated, and DIO landed a precise punch on his opponent at a speed that even Jotaro couldn't detect.
"Well!"
His body was sent flying, passing through the room and crashing into the street below the tall building.
"Hmph, did they use Star Platinum to cushion the impact of the fall?"
Looking down at Jotaro who had fallen to the ground, DIO ignored the panicked Yuuki beside him and jumped down directly.
For him, the first priority was to deal with Jotaro.
This helpless little girl can be solved at any time.
"cough"
Jotaro was punched in the chest and suffered serious injuries, but he found himself seemingly still alive?
But he soon realized something was wrong.
The sleeves and trousers that came into view seemed to have turned black.
After looking around, he discovered that the white clothes he was wearing had been replaced by a black outfit that felt familiar and long-lost.
School uniform!
Those were clothes he wore when he was still in school!
"Hmph, are you wondering why you're still alive? Don't worry, the next blow will truly finish you off!"
"Before that, look around! Jotaro!!"
Does this road look familiar?
DIO's voice rang out from ahead, and Jotaro consciously glanced around.
"This is?!!"
The ever-changing city and the bridge he now stood on caused Jotaro's pupils to widen, simultaneously stirring up distant memories.
"Looks like you've remembered."
"That's right! This is Cairo, Egypt!"
"This is the turning point in my life!!"
DIO gently landed on the ground, looked at Jotaro, who was dressed in a black school uniform, and said to him in a deep voice.
"That's right! I used the power of 'World Beyond Heaven' to return everything to that time!"
"I realized that even if I reached heaven, I would not have completely transcended fate!"
"And all of this misfortune stems from you! Jotaro!!"
Pointing at the other person, DIO became unusually excited.
"Only by changing all of this with my own hands!"
"Let the past become another kind of history!"
"I will never again be bound by this shameful weakness!"
"I want to be perfect. I will not tolerate the slightest blemish!"
"World beyond Heaven, that is the power I symbolize to defy fate!"
With his arms outstretched, DIO vented loudly.
"Well!"
Clutching his chest, Jotaro realized what had happened.
His body returned to eleven years ago, when he was seventeen.
In order to break free from the constraints of the past, DIO even changed the era itself.
This guy wants to change his past, where he was "punched to death" by Jotaro!
