Joseph is able to figure out The World's power because of the message Kakyoin left, but is quickly knocked out by a cruel attack by DIO. Jotaro then attacks The World with Star Platinum, but is no match for DIO's power. DIO stopped time and goes in for the final blow, but he sees that Jotaro's fingers are moving in the stopped time, and strengthens his defense. Jotaro telling DIO that their Stands are the same type lingers in his mind...
I, DIO, had truly surpassed 
all forms of life and all Stands!
أنا، ديو، قد تفوّقتُ على كافّة الكائنات الحيّة وكافّة الستاندات
Ich, Dio, hatte alle Lebewesen
und Stands hinter mir gelassen.
¡Yo, Dio, había superado a todas 
las formas de vida y Stands!
¡Yo, Dio, había superado a todas 
las formas de vida y Stands!
Moi, Dio, j’ai transcendé
tous les êtres vivants
Io, Dio, sono superiore a qualsiasi
forma di vita e qualsiasi Stand!
Eu, Dio, superei todas as outras formas de 
vida, todos os outros usuários de Stand!
