So there you are... Boss...
That's where... you were...
And that's... whose body you're using.
The moment I got tired and could feel my soul being sucked out,
you said you had to go because things were going south...
It's true...
If you're there, Boss...
We're going to win for sure...
But...
I'm so lonely...
Could you... call me again...
like you always have?
Boss...
No one can escape the fate that was chosen for them.
All that remains is the end, where you will all perish.
Eternal greatness exists only within myself.
Sing a song of sorrow in a world where time has vanished.
Episodio 36 Diavolo Surfaces
Mista! Hurry up and pierce your Stand with this arrow!
What's going on? Requiem's suddenly heading toward us.
Giorno! Stop Requiem!
I can't! It's too far away!
Crack
Wha—
My gun...
What are you doing, Mista?!
It's because you're touching the arrow!
No way! Why is this...
Let go of it, Mr. Polnareff!
Let go of the arrow!
Glad I took that cop's Beretta just in case.
But what the hell, Bullets?
Why'd my revolver break all of a sudden?
M-Maybe the boss got close?
You dumbass! Think before you talk, Number Five!
Are you saying you saw someone coming close to us in this big, open space?
We didn't see anyone at the moment the revolver broke.
It's metal fatigue.
It's because he's been overusing the gun.
The axis of the cylinder broke.
We haven't had a chance to do any maintenance or inspections!
H-Hey!
What the hell is this thing's problem? It's heading toward m-me!
No, Mista. It's heading towards me.
Even though it has the arrow back...
Golden Wind!
Batoom
Requiem intends to finish me because I touched the arrow.
Mista, run!
Reload, Bullets! Reload the gun!
This isn't a revolver! We need another cartridge!
It'll take time to reload it!
I-It's no use...
I'm finished...
I'm throwing it! Catch it, Giorno!
I'm gonna throw the turtle to you!
Mr. Polnareff!
You okay, Mr. Polnareff?
He's okay. B-But... how?
Mista, do you remember what I said back at the Colosseum?
There's still more to Requiem's ability that I'm not aware of.
But I'm starting to understand.
Requiem stopped because the starting time has come.
The starting time?
Yes.
It's because
my body has started to change!
That's why it stopped trying to kill me!
This is Requiem's true motive, now that it's gone berserk.
The ability to make beings swap souls,
meaning the ability that makes them start to change into something else.
The prelude is over, and the actual piece is now starting to play,
so it gave up on killing me.
The 4.5-billion-year history of this world's creatures is starting to change
into something else within a matter of hours.
All of it!
I see...
So that's what makes Requiem so truly frightening.
However...
Thanks to them, I was able to see it.
I'm starting to understand the answer.
I'm close to figuring out how to get that arrow from Requiem!
I'm realizing the method!
Wh-What the hell is going on?
What's up with this ability?
How far has this damn thing spread?
It doesn't look like they're dying or in pain...
Everyone just has these vacant stares.
But there is this fear of becoming something else.
The fear that, slowly but surely, both my body and my soul are going to disappear.
Trish!
I-I'm fine. But...
The starting time is imminent.
It will happen differently for each of us, but it'll start soon,
for all of us.
We don't have much time left...
That's what you're saying?
Polnareff! This is happening because you brought the arrow!
You said it had the power to defeat the boss,
but instead, you basically ended us!
Stop! This is far beyond anyone's expectations.
It's more important that we find a way to defeat Requiem.
That's right. Good. Get closer.
Get closer to Requiem!
If we get closer, I'll be able to fully see Requiem's secrets, because I'm right here.
The arrow's power will become mine, and the world will grovel at my feet!
After it!
Good!
Don't move, Mista!
Trish, Bucciarati! Both of you stay where you are!
Stay right there!
Wha—
I just told you not to move, Mista!
We can catch up to Requiem in a second!
What the hell? Shut up, you dumbass!
My body's disappearing already!
I picked up your revolver.
The one that you said broke a moment ago.
This broken part doesn't match up correctly with the rest of it.
If it just broke due to metal fatigue, they should still fit together.
What are you getting at, Giorno?
Bucciarati, I need you to stay right there, too!
We need to keep a distance from each other!
You dumbass! Requiem is getting away!
The Bullets said it was metal fatigue, so it's metal fatigue!
I have a new Beretta, too!
The parts aren't matching up because a piece flew off!
That could be...
But it could be something more.
We'll be able to tell as soon as we see this lost piece.
Golden Wind.
I gave a part of the gun life and let it loose.
Moles are basically blind, but their sense of smell is unparalleled.
Looks like it's returned, and it found its lost piece.
Fit
H-Hey, wait a sec!
Are you saying someone just used immense force to tear the gun apart?
Listen up! The Bullets and I are very clear on this!
There's no one who got close to me in this square—
You're exactly right. No one did.
That's why we need to stay apart from each other,
because his range is only a few meters!
Giorno, you...
No one got close to Narancia when he was attacked, either.
No one... other than us.
Mr. Polnareff, if your guess is correct and the boss had two personalities,
then he should be able to get in and out of another's mind freely.
Diavolo has inhabited one of us.
Wha—
If he stays hidden, Trish can't detect his existence.
The reason he's staying hidden now
is because he's waiting for us to obtain the arrow for good.
That's why he also appeared for a brief moment to destroy the gun.
W-Wait a second!
I know I keep saying this, but stay away from me, Mista!
Stay out of his range!
My gun was destroyed!
You're the one closest to the gun.
I-It's...
It's not me!
O-Oh, yeah. When Narancia was attacked...
The one closest to him was...
Shit. I must do something.
Requiem keeps moving farther away.
This rookie, Giorno Giovanna...
He's hiding in one of us.
But despite that, we have one advantage.
Diavolo can make Emperor Crimson appear,
but he doesn't have complete control of the body he's inhabiting right now.
If he had total control
of the body he's currently inhabiting, he wouldn't just stay quietly hidden.
It's because he can't manifest and move around freely
that we all still live and haven't been eliminated.
In a sense, we have him cornered.
It's the turtle!
It was the closest one to my revolver!
Polnareff is the one who's possessed!
That's not possible.
Mr. Polnareff was almost killed by Requiem earlier,
because the boss destroyed the revolver.
The boss won't let the body he's inhabiting be put in danger.
Plus...
I only sense one being's life force.
This turtle only has one soul in it.
You can tell that, Giorno?
Only if I can get closer and touch their body.
How can you be so certain?
Life force is a mass.
If I actually touch someone, I can tell how many there are.
There's no other way.
I have to touch each one of you and find out.
But how are you going to get closer within Emperor Crimson's range?
I learned how to detect Emperor Crimson from Mr. Polnareff.
The moment the droplets suddenly increase is when time has skipped!
Correct.
But whether you can avoid his attack or not will be a matter of luck,
as is whether you'll be able to just barely dodge it.
It's definitely not me.
When Narancia was killed, I was the farthest away.
Then I'll check you first so we can be at ease.
Hey!
Stop right there! Stay away from me!
D-Don't come any closer!
If Diavolo is actually in you, what's going to happen to me?
When Narancia died, his body was empty.
My soul was able to travel from Narancia's body into my own,
but it was empty.
There's no chance that he's possessing me.
Oh, really?
That's just what you're saying.
I have no way of confirming your ability.
Not to mention, Giorno,
do you have a way to definitively confirm that you only have one soul?
You can't check yourself with your own ability, can you?
Mista, we can't go after the arrow unless we find out!
Come any closer and I'll blow your limbs off!
Stop!
Check me first, Giorno.
Hurry up and do it!
We're losing more and more time.
Just as you said,
depending on how we look at the situation, we have the boss cornered.
There's no other way.
Yes...
We have to do this right now.
Someone's going to be attacked...
If we get closer to one another...
Slice
Giorno!
It's Mista!
He was the one possessed!
Spicy Lady—
No, Trish!
It's you!
He got closer instantly by moving your body closer to him!
I've been waiting for this moment, my daughter...
The moment you unleashed your Stand!

My daughter...
If you hadn't revealed your Stand, I might've actually been cornered...
Zipper Man!
If I can grab the Stand, I can also move the body.
Now I can at least make this body run.
We're going to be attacked! Brace yourselves!
He's going to make time leap—
Wha—
D-Don't tell me...
Why's he running without attacking us?
Through observation, he's already found
a way to get the arrow away from Requiem!
There's no time! That takes priority!
Shoot, Mista!
Don't let him get there first, no matter what!
Stop wasting time!
This isn't the time to hesitate because that's your own body!
That's not it...
I've already fired, Bucciarati.
It seems that... I've already fired six shots.
He's running as he makes time leap!
He predicted the course of the bullets!
After him! If he gets the arrow, we're finished!
That shadow...
The reason no one can touch the arrow...
If I'm correct...
When I move, Requiem's shadow moves in the opposite direction from me,
despite the location of the sun.
Which means...
To that man, it should look like the shadow is stretching toward me.
In Bucciarati's eyes, the shadow is stretching in front of Requiem.
Which means...
This shadow is in different places depending on the viewer!
This is the mystery of Requiem!
This is why it can control everyone's souls!
This thing is the shadow of one's soul.
Requiem itself is the shadow of my soul!
That's why attacking it will mean attacking yourself!
If we can get rid of this shadow, I can get the arrow!
And...
If it has a shadow, then my own light should be somewhere, as well!
He still doesn't have the arrow!
We're rushing in, Mista!
The light is behind my own mind!
He just destroyed something behind his head!
What in the world did he do?
Now I've got it...
I, Diavolo, now have the arrow!
If Diavolo found a way to grasp the arrow, we should take advantage of it.
Because the arm he tore off of me and these droplets of blood are all just particles.
Golden Wind shall now
appear!
These ants!
What just happened?
This is good, so far.
Let's go...
We have to hurry.
Blast the arrow away from him! Don't let him grab it, Mista!
I'm already shooting!
They made it through!
Despite him predicting their movements, we're still far apart.
He can only knock the ones coming at him out of their trajectory!
The rest of you knock that arrow back and bring it to me, Bullets!
H-He'd already thrown...
...a civilian into the air!
He figured out the bullets would land and returned the arrow to its place!
The trash ability of an underling...
There's no way your weak mind can surpass Emperor Crimson's predictions.
You will not be able to get through.
You're still just trash.
I will admit though, Bucciarati,
your team has made me sweat.
I never dreamed you would be foolish enough to betray the organization,
nor did I ever think you'd find out my true identity.
But the fact that I've been able to figure out this arrow's true power is a blessing!
It's a gift granted to me by fate because I was able to defeat my past!
I need ammo, Bullets!
We told you, Mista!
It takes time to reload that cartridge!
We're finished!
Wh-What in the world?
Spicy... Lady...
You didn't deflect Mista's bullets.
I just made them softer.
The bullets stretched out like chewing gum and stuck to your hand,
and I had them use their elastic force to return and blow through it.
Trish... You're still conscious!
I'm going to overcome this.
I'm not going to live in fear and run away from the fate
that you've passed on to me.
If it's in my way, I'll just climb over it!
The arrow's flying toward me!
I'm the closest!
He can't get past me!
Even if he predicts where it'll fall and erases time,
I'm still closer to it!
If only... My daughter,
if only you hadn't been born...
Fear truly does come from the past.
You have genuinely angered me!
What?
Booooom
You said you'd overcome this, did you not?
You were right, Trish. Now you can surpass not only the past...
but their heads.
Trish!
