Summary
The next day, the Joestar group welcomes back Kakyoin among their ranks and meet Iggy  again, who guides them to DIO 's house out of grudge against Pet Shop 's master. However they meet Terence T. D'Arby, user of Atum. Terence drags Jotaro, Kakyoin and Joseph underground, and Joseph tells Avdol  to burn down the house in 10 minutes. Jotaro Kakyoin and Joseph find themselves on a island in the middle of the sea, where D'Arby challenges them to videogames, revealing that he too steald the souls of people who recognize defeat. Kakyoin challenges Terence a F-Mega but loses after a close match. Jotaro then challenge Terence at Oh! That's a Baseball!. Jotaro is gifted in the game, which forces D'Arby to use the mind-reading power of Atum. By asking yes or no questions, D'Arby can divine Jotaro's throws, and gains the upper hand. Then Jotaro's throws begin to contradict Terence divinations, and the latter cannot discover how he does that. He eventually recognizes defeat unwillingly and frees Kakyoin, which is when Joseph reveals that he was the one playing all along with Hermit Purple. Star Platinum pummels Terence away through a wall, revealing the sea to be a fake.
