Kiss of Love & Revenge

This process is shown after his death read from his memory disc, revealing his critical role in Pucci's project "to reach heaven".

He later confronts Ermes after being stalked by her, and is drown inside a sewage pipe under the result of her stand 's ability. However, he uses his stand to make himself an invisible zombie before initiating combat against her, and also summons numerous zombies from the grave to aid himself. After a hard-fought fight (which featured Jolyne Cujoh and critically injured F.F.) Ermes defeats Sports Maxx and avenges her sister. The zombie-Maxx is pummeled and ceases to exist.

He also later returns briefly in the form of a memory through use of Underworld to further explain the nature of it to Ermes Costello.
