Summary
A fight begins between Doppio, counseled by his Boss, and Risotto Nero. Using the sub-Stand Epitaph and part of King Crimson, Doppio discovers that Risotto's stand Metallica manipulates iron. The outcome fight is seemingly decided as Doppio cannot breathe normally without the vital amount of iron in his blood—until Doppio lures Aerosmith into the battle, critically injuring Risotto.

Doppio transforms into the Boss and confronts a dying Risotto. He is then chased by Bucciarati and Narancia, and in his weakened state, must flee. The two of them follow the Boss' tracks up to an unrelated child.

Meanwhile, Abbacchio is rewinding time with Moody Blues in order to recreate the Boss' face. Being alone, the Boss manages to approach Abbacchio and punch him through his chest, leaving him for dead.
