Sheer Heart Attack (story arc)

Sheer Heart Attack (シアーハートアタック) is the sixteenth story arc in Diamond Is Unbreakable.

Summary
Kira brings his suit to the tailor's and finds that Jotaro Kujo and Koichi Hirose are investigating him. He sets Sheer Heart Attack after them and wounds Jotaro. Koichi awakens Echoes ACT3 and traps Sheer Heart Attack in place, transferring the effect onto Kira himself. Kira returns in person and, heavily wounded, surprises Koichi by using Killer Queen and withdrawing Sheer Heart Attack. He attacks Koichi personally as revenge for unintentionally humiliating him in public.

Star Platinum manages to wound Kira just before Josuke and Okuyasu arrive on the scene. Impatient to escape, Kira asks Josuke to 'fix' him as he fixed Jotaro and Koichi, revealing to Josuke that he can see Stands. Cornered, Kira cuts his own hand off to release Sheer Heart Attack from Echoes ACT3's ability, and flees. Josuke uses Crazy Diamond's ability to make the severed hand chase after him. Kira escapes by forcing Aya Tsuji and her Stand Cinderella to switch his face and fingerprints with Kosaku Kawajiri's, successfully stalling the protagonists' chase.
