Yoshikage Kira Just Wants to Live Quietly, Part 2 (Episode)

Yoshikage Kira Wants a Quiet Life, Part 2 (吉良吉影は静かに暮らしたい その2) is the ninety-sixth episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime and the twenty-second episode of Diamond Is Unbreakable. It covers the second half of Chapter 345 through Chapter 347, and Chapter 354 through first few pages of Chapter 355 of the manga.

Summary
Having been discovered by Shigechi, Yoshikage Kira sends out his Stand, Killer Queen, to eliminate him before word gets out. However, Shigechi summons his own Stand, Harvest, to try and incapacitate him. Kira deduces from his incident in the school that Josuke & Okuyasu are also Stand users while revealing a 100 yen coin. Shigechi foolishly orders one Harvest to take the coin, which is when Kira reveals his ability to make bombs. The coin explodes, maiming Shigechi but not killing him. Shigechi uses Harvest to distract Kira and hide, then hobbles to the high school section of the school, aiming to warn Josuke & Okuyasu. But the moment he touches Josuke's classroom's doorknob, Kira detonates the bomb he planted on it, causing Shigechi to explode without leaving a trace.

However the last member of Harvest delivers Josuke a button taken from Kira's jacket before disintegrating. Josuke & Okuyasu note that the way Harvest disappeared was atypical of a Stand and investigate Shigechi's whereabouts, only finding his possessions on his classroom desk. Meanwhile, Reimi Sugimoto witnesses Shigechi's ghost disintegrating in agony while ascending to Heaven, immediately realizing that this was Kira's doing.

Josuke organizes a meeting consisting of himself, Okuyasu & his dad, Koichi, Jotaro, Joseph & Shizuka, Yukako, Hazamada, Tonio, Aya, and Rohan and brings them to meet Reimi. They are all informed about the killer and deduce that he must be a Stand user. The deduction prompts Jotaro to decide tracking down the culprit using his button. While Josuke leaves, he briefly crosses paths with Kira.

Four days pass with no results before Koichi runs into Jotaro and accompanies him on his search for someone who may have repaired a jacket with similar buttons. The two find a shoe store that also specializes in tailoring. Jotaro goes in to try and find some leads. There, they learn that the store owner saw a similar button, pointing out the recently-repaired purple jacket that the button came from. However, the store owner decides to check the tag on the jacket to ensure that he's remembering the owner's name right, only to have his right hand suddenly blown off. As it turns out, Kira has been hiding in the back room and deployed another bomb in the event that someone would use his lost button to track him down. Killer Queen's second bomb, a miniature tank-like object, rushes into the unconscious store owner's mouth before Kira grabs and shakes his jacket to bait Jotaro & Koichi within the bomb's range. Koichi runs up to try and take the coat back, but is pulled away by Jotaro as the bomb goes off.
