Depeche detects the small group of individual Stand users attempting to gain on him; he begins to smile as Duran Duran kicks up debris - stone and sand - behind herself to disorientate the horses and riders who tried to overcome him. In his mind, "I am the thunderbird..." repeats ever onwards, and in spite of his competition, he remains steadfast and confident.

"JoJo was right, it seems... It's almost as if these men, possessed by war spirits, are drawn towards me. While mine is a spirit of peace, I cannot help but force myself to retaliate if it means a chance at the prize..." Depeche thinks to himself, keeping a steady pace while resisting the urge to manifest his Stand. "I must await their move before I act, however, to see if I can truly determine which of them is possessed... and to hide my own Stand from their eyes."
