DIO's World, Part 18 (Chapter)

The Break of Dawn! (Dio's World (18) in the JoJonium release) is the two-hundred-sixty-fourth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the one-hundred-fifty-first chapter of Part III: Stardust Crusaders.

Summary
Jotaro, after surviving Dio's attempt on his life, uses the time stop ability of his Stand for the first time, freezing Dio in place as it is stronger than his. Jotaro describes the time stop's effect on others, comparing it to drowning and being pushed further down. He kicks Dio's weakened legs just as time resumes. He waits for Dio to get up, anxious to put him down again. Dio, unfazed by Jotaro's words, blinds him with his bloody legs and prepares for a final strike. Jotaro does the same and the two collide. Star Platinum's hand breaks, to Jotaro's dismay and Dio's joy. However, The World's leg shatters, shocking both. The crack in the leg travels up the body, finally killing Dio and ending his 100+ year grudge against the Joestar family.
