Summary
On his way to school, Jotaro is suddenly attacked when a mysterious student in a green uniform swipes a paintbrush over a picture Jotaro, causing his leg to be cut in the same location. Jotaro ends up falling down a large set of stairs, though is able to lessen the fall by grabbing onto a nearby branch with his stand. The new student comes to Jotaro's aid with a handkerchief and reveals his name to be Noriaki Kakyoin.

Later, Jotaro visits the nurse's office to have his would treated, but discovers the nurse had gone into mad frenzy and stabbed one of the other students with a pen. On the handkerchief he had received earlier, Jotaro finds a message from Kakyoin stating that he will kill him, and moments later Kakyoin appears at the window. Kakyoin reveals that he had used his stand, Hierophant Green, to possess the nurse's body from the inside and uses it to force her to stab Jotaro. Jotaro is able to drag Hierophant out of the Nurse's body via his stand and once out, Kakyoin counterattacks with Emerald Splash; catching Jotaro off guard and sending his flying across the room. At that point, Jotaro declares that due to the invisible nature of stands that he would be the one to judge Kakyoin and engages him. Jotaro is briefly trapped by Heirophant's tentacles, but is able to easily deflect the attack and follows through with pummeling Heirophant Green until Kakyoin is rendered unconscious. Jotaro decides to take Kakyoin with him back to Joseph in order to get some questions answered regarding the attack and DIO.

Back at the Kujo Estate, Joseph explains that Kakyoin's mind had been taken control by DIO and the culprit was a flesh bud attached to Kakyoin's brain.
