Dire then approached Dio ready to fight ignoring Jonathans warning about Dios secret ability.

Dire then uses his signature attack, which goes smoothly until Dire’s second attack at which Dio freezes Dire’s body almost entirely before it can connect. Taunting Dire, afterwards Dio then shatters his body into hundreds of tiny ice shards!
