Youth with Dio, Part 1 (Chapter)

The Two Rings (Youth with Dio - Part 1 in the JoJonium release) is the twelfth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the twelfth chapter of Part I: Phantom Blood.

Summary
Dio goes crashing through the window behind him after being shot multiple times by the police. A moment later he is laying on the ground outside surrounded by broken glass. He is presumed dead, but his face is still covered by the Stone Mask. Back inside, Jonathan is still holding his dying father. George holds up his hand and reveals Jonathan's dead mother's wedding ring. One of the officers curses himself for not having stopped Dio from being adopted long ago. When he first became a police officer, they had arrested Dario Brando for attempting to sell the ring he stole from Georges Joestar. George told them that Dario was innocent, because he still believed that Dario had saved his life. He said to the policeman that he probably would have done the same thing if he had been born into a life of poverty, and lets Dario keep the ring. Back in the present, the officer curses himself again, saying that he should have just punished Dario so that none of this would have happened.

George passes away, after telling Jonathan that it isn't so bad to die in his son's arms. Mourning spreads throughout the room, and Speedwagon says that Jonathan will be the one to inherit the fortune and become the new Joestar head. He looks to the window and notices that Dio's corpse is gone. All that is left is the Stone Mask. Panicked, Speedwagon tells the officer to get away from the window and search the place for Dio's corpse. It is too late, as a hand swoops down from outside the window and rips the top of the officer's head off. It is Dio, who is somehow upside down and clinging to the wall outside. He appears to be alive.
