Summary
At the Higashikata's, Josuke takes his laundry, which has been mixed with that of Joshu. He takes by mistake some of Joshu's money, which the latter notices and starts an argument over. Joshu accuses Josuke to be a thief and tries to stab him, but Norisuke defuses the situation. The patriarch also uses that opportunity to talk Josuke about him having to go to school to get an idea of his education level.

Josuke then secretly gets out of the Higashikata estate and calls Yasuho. Together they plan to meet at the Mutsukabe shrine and then pay a visit to Holy Joestar-Kira. However when Yasuho calls the Morioh University Hospital in which Holy is supposed to work, she discovers that she is currently a patient.

Using his voice GPS to navigate in the alleys, the GPS suddenly acts strange by instructing him to make an U-turn without apparent reason. The GPS make other strange instruction which Josuke chooses to disobey. Instead he opens a notebook and writes the direction. Is he soon interrupted when a strange man in a motorcycle aggresses him with whirlwinds. He trips and his head hits a sharp metal shard.
