Dio's World, Part 2 (Episode)

DIO's World (2) (DIOの世界 その2) is the seventy-second episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime, the forty-sixth episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders and the twenty-second episode of the Egypt Arc. It covers the last one page of Chapter 252 through the first half of Chapter 256 of the manga.

Manga/Anime Differences

 * Flashback scenes of Kakyoin's youth: his mother and teacher were added.
 * The scene of The World punching through Kakyoin was removed from the actual battle and placed as a flashback later on, possibly done to reinforce suspense and pacing.
 * After Joseph is fatally stabbed, Hermit Purple is shown crumbling into ashes rather than fizzling out.

Trivia

 * In the OVA, during the duration of The World, a reverb effect when DIO speaks was added to emphasize the time being stopped. This effect was not employed in the TV anime, nor in the games.
