Silence hangs in the air as everyone's eyes are on Kakyoin and Avdol, the two Crusaders who went on a journey towards Egypt to kill a vampire. With the guys occupying room 606 for the time being to listen to the whole story together with the girls, who are wearing their casual clothes used as stage outfits, they are waiting for them to begin.
After thinking on what he will say and staying silent with closed eyes, Kakyoin opens them and asks, "...Alright. Is everyone prepared to hear what we have to say?"
"Yes Kakyoin." Sakura nodded. Everyone shares a nod as well, yearning to learn about their adventure before they died.
Taking a deep breath, Kakyoin begins telling the adventure he and Avdol have. "Okay. So repeating what I said before we got here, me and Avdol went to Egypt with our friends in order to kill a vampire whose existence is causing one of my friend's mother to fall ill and in danger of dying."
"Uh huh. Who are these friends you two have?" Saki inquired, resting her jaw on her hand.
Smiling in fondness and remembrance, he answers, "The mother's son is 「Jotaro Kujo」, who is the grandson of Avdol's friend, 「Joseph Joestar」, a Frenchman named 「Jean Pierre Polnareff」 and lastly, a Bosten Terrier named 「Iggy」 who was recruited by Speedwagon Foundation when we finally arrived at Egypt."
"Wait, you have a dog join your group?" Ai questioned incredulously.
"Yes, because he has a Stand called 「The Fool」, which allows him to manipulate sand." Avdol explains.
The idea of an animal gaining a Stand doesn't fail to surprise the group aside from Bucciarati and Narancia, with Junko stating, "Huh? A dog has a Stand like you two? C-Can animals actually gain a Stand as well?"
"It's possible. I believe any living beings have the capacity to gain a Stand if they have strong wills, be it a human or an animal. And I have to tell you, Iggy is quite a feisty one when I tried to tame him and when he joined us as the sixth member, even if he spends his time loitering around." Avdol lets out a chuckle at the memory. He had to be careful taming the Boston Terrier unless he wanted to have the dog latching on his face and biting his hair or getting sand to his eyes, mouth, hair and clothes back then. He is happy he got a sixth ally to recruit when they arrived in Egypt.
That said, Iggy seems to not like being part of the group, lashing out against any of them especially Polnareff, who tends to get farted on and have his tall silver hair bitten by Iggy. Good thing coffee-flavored gum is brought over to placate Iggy.
"I see. If Iggy has a Stand, is it safe to assume the other three have Stands too?" Bucciarati guesses. Kakyoin nods in confirmation.
"That's right. Jotaro's Stand is called 「Star Platinum」, Joseph's Stand is 「Hermit Purple」 and 「Silver Chariot」 is Polnareff's Stand."
Just the mention of Polnareff and Silver Chariot causes Bucciarati and Narancia to raise their head in recognition. They were at least familiar with him before their deaths, so they already guessed what Polnareff's Stand is. It is possible they could learn who Polnareff is from the two, seeing they have known him longer than they have.
"Now that we know your friends are Stand Users," Yugiri began. "What kind of ability their Stands have, you two?"
"Star Platinum has enhanced strength, precision and speed capable of punching rapidly without mercy, Hermit Purple manifests as thorny, purple vines that allows Mr. Joestar to create pictures of faraway places whether on cameras or television and Silver Chariot has a rapier to rapidly skewer its enemies. It even gets to shed its armor to amplify its speed, to the point of creating afterimages." Avdol reveals.
Whistling in interest, Gyro says, "Wow. Your friends sure got impressive Stands. Their powers seem simple on paper, but I believe they're quite formidable."
"Well, Jotaro has the most powerful Stand I've seen so far. Combined with his quick thinking, he's a valuable and dangerous ally." Kakyoin chuckled. "In fact, when I fought him, I get to face his sheer might and fortitude when Star Platinum punched Hierophant Green."
"Eh? Star Platinum punched your Stand?" Lily repeated. "Why is that?"
"Oh. Well... It's because I was controlled by that vampire using his flesh bud. If it weren't for him, I would have killed him before the journey started." He hangs his head in shame over the fact he bowed before DIO's might even if he tried resisting the vampire's allure.
"The same happened to Polnareff too when we were in Hong Kong. I fought against him before Jotaro removed the flesh bud with his Stand." Avdol added.
Right now, everyone is itching to learn the name of the vampire already. They don't want to leave it hanging. Prompted by this, Mamezuku asks, "Who, exactly, is this vampire?"
Seeing everyone is dying to know, Kakyoin finally reveals the name of the vampire. "His name is 「DIO」."
Even though this is the first time they heard the name, they start shaking in fear and fright just from hearing it alone. For some reason, this DIO guy sounds like an intimidating man, to the point that his existence motivated Kakyoin, Avdol and their friends to go to Egypt and stop him.
Of the twelve zombies that are listening however, Johnny and Gyro are the most surprised upon learning the vampire's name. Having known Diego Brando, or his nickname Dio, they wonder how come this world has a man with the same name (or nickname) as their jockey rival. Is it a coincidence? Or are they thinking too deeply about it because it's an alternate universe?
As they try to make sense of this, Narancia, noticing their dumbfounded faces, asks. "Hey, why are you two so surprised and acting like what Kakyoin said struck you to the core?"
"Huh? Oh. Well, you see..." Everyone turns to him as Johnny wonders on how he should explain that he and Gyro knew someone named (or nicknamed) Dio. Gyro gets to him first before he can respond. "It's because we know someone named 「Dio」 too back in our universe."
"What!?"
Kakyoin and Avdol go wide-eyed when they hear from him the reason why they're surprised. The same goes for everyone else except Tae.
"You heard me. When me and Johnny were in the race back home, we earned ourselves a rival named 「Diego Brando」, or Dio as he is most known. He's one obstacle in our pursuit of the first place and combined with his tenacity, skills and mutual rivalry, he's a formidable opponent." He elaborated. His mouth must have tasted something terrible just from mentioning the jockey eager to win and left them in the dust.
"I... I never would have thought someone named Dio was present on your world too." Kakyoin admitted. "Tell me then. Did this Diego guy do something heinous?"
"Well, there's a rumor that he married an 83-year-old woman only to kill her six months later just to inherit her fortune." Johnny clicked his tongue in disgust.
Multiple gasps erupted from everyone after hearing it. "How horrible...!" Yugiri sums up their thoughts over his misdeed.
"Aside from that, he's quite ruthless. Every time we cross paths with him, we won't hesitate to fight him as we race with our horses. We don't like him taking the first place that belongs to one of us." Gyro added. "Now that you all know who Diego is, can you tell us what kind of person this DIO is, Avdol and Kakyoin? He can't be as bad as Diego, right?"
The two looks at each other for a moment before they begin explaining who DIO, or Dio Brando as he is used to be called, is (based on Joseph's statements that he asked from his grandma). How he tried to make Joseph's grandfather Jonathan Joestar's life miserable, how he became a vampire after killing Jonathan's father using a Stone Mask, successfully killing him when he was reduced to a head on a ship after being supposedly defeated, emerged a century later after grafting his head to his body, allowing him to survive, how he must have caused trouble before he gained a Stand, causing a chain reaction that led Jotaro and Joseph to gain their Stands because they are descendants of Jonathan, brainwashed Kakyoin and Polnareff, the latter who joined them in order to find the man with two right hands that killed his sister, encountered Avdol who ran for his life after being warned by Joseph of who he is, send assassins to hinder and kill the group during the journey and attempted to kill the remaining Crusaders when the sun has set and after Avdol and Iggy died fighting against one of his minions.
Suffice it to say, just the explanation alone is enough for everyone to imagine how monstrous and vile DIO is. The simple fact that he became a vampire after he failed to steal the Joestar's fortune and goes on to try and take over the world out of desire that started over a century ago to reign supreme above humans who he believes are all inferior leaves an impression. Among the reactions, Saki and Narancia are gritting their teeth in anger, Sakura, Ai and Junko are absolutely terrified, Bucciarati, Mamezuku and Yugiri have stern and frowning expressions, Lily quivers in fear and hugs Yugiri for comfort, Johnny and Gyro are aghast to hear DIO reach such lengths to gain power compared to Diego and even Tae seems angry and growling, as if she apparently listened to how evil DIO is.
"T-To think... Someone like D-D-DIO... ex-existed..." Sakura stammers in fear, being glad she didn't get to encounter him after hearing what lengths DIO sunk into. "I-If what he d-did is horrible enough after he became a vampire, I d-dread to guess that his Stand is q-quite powerful..."
"You're not wrong Sakura. In fact, DIO have used his Stand, 「The World」, to kill me after I trapped him with Hierophant Green's tendrils in my attempt to know the secret of his power. It is something I can't seem to get over with." Kakyoin lets out, hands subtly hovering over his abdomen where his patched-up wound is.
"Huh!? Did... Did you say DIO... killed you using... his Stand?"
Everyone's eyes are on him as he confirms the one who killed him is none other than 「DIO」. "That's right. DIO killed me when The World rammed its fist into me and hurled me to a water tank." He reveals, seeing that it's about time for Sakura and the others to learn the man who killed him almost thirty years ago. He even shows his bandaged abdomen when he unbuttons his shirt.
"Oh man... That sounds brutal." Narancia winces over the sight. Everyone shares his feelings to his death while Avdol, Bucciarati, Sakura, Junko and Yugiri gave him sympathetic looks.
As for Mamezuku, he sees Kakyoin suffered the same wound as him except he got smaller wounds on his head and his left shoulder, and the method of his death is different. He again shakes his head trying not to think on his death.
"You have no idea Narancia. The moment I think victory is in my hands, the next thing I know, I'm in a water tank with a large gaping wound flowing with blood being mixed with water from the tank." He sighs, feeling uncomfortable recounting his death again. He knows it is necessary however, so he has to push through and describe more about his death. "As I agonized over the wound I got, I set my mind on how DIO managed to break through the 20-meter radius web without triggering the sensitive tendrils and shattering all the emeralds at once. After giving it much thought, I figured out what The World's ability is. As I'm fatally injured, I used the last of my strength to fire an Emerald Splash to a clock tower, destroying it as a clue for Joestar-san. My last thoughts as I close my eyes is for Joestar-san to figure out my last message and impart it to Jotaro and Polnareff."
"Well, considering the world is fine, I believe you succeeded on delivering the message Kakyoin." Avdol pointed out, proud he managed to expose DIO's power and causing his defeat. "If not for your quick thinking, DIO would have won."
"Okay. It's sad you died fighting against DIO but there is one thing I'm curious..." Saki speaks up, feeling sympathy for Kakyoin while wishing to beat DIO up for his misdeeds and killing him. "What is his Stand's ability? You still haven't told us, Kakyoin."
"I was about to tell that, Saki. DIO's Stand, 「The World」, can-"
"Stop time. Did I get that right?"
Johnny guesses, absolute conviction on his words as everyone turn to him again, especially Kakyoin and Avdol. "What did you say Johnny?" The latter asks.
"The World's ability is to 「stop time for at least five seconds」. Am I wrong?" He repeated with assured confidence.
"Uh... Y-Yes... That's right..." Kakyoin confirms with a surprised and confused look. "How... How did you know?"
"...It's because I fought against 「another Diego」, who has the same Stand and power as DIO." The jockey answered.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up there Johnny." Gyro stops him from saying more so he gets to make sense of where Johnny is getting at. "You fought against another Diego?"
"Yes Gyro."
"H-How? When did this happen?"
"After I killed Valentine and I was in the last leg of the race."
"...Did he travel to another dimension and recruit that Diego?"
"He did. I didn't expect him to use the last of his power to stop me."
"Wow. That is surprising."
"It is Gyro. In fact, I was surprised to hear someone named 「Jonathan Joestar」 existed in this world."
"Why do you think that?" Bucciarati asks.
"Because my full name is Jonathan Joestar."
Another round of surprise goes off when they hear his full name.
"What is this about two people from different worlds having the same name but differ in attitude and behavior entirely?" Ai questioned the nature of supposed counterparts. "Is it... all a coincidence?"
"Maybe it is. Maybe it's not." Gyro shrugs, finding it interesting but trying not to think about it too hard. "Say, do I get to have a counterpart in this universe as well? If Diego and Johnny have one, it's possible I have a counterpart here in this reality."
"Hmm... Perhaps you have." Avdol confirms. "I believe I heard from Mr. Joestar about a friend named Caesar Zeppeli, who is the grandson of Will Antonio Zeppeli who assisted Jonathan when Dio first started his act of villainy. Sadly, they both died assisting them, Caesar's especially because he is filled with regret over having partially caused his death. I only learned from him when I keep asking him about his former friend."
"Oh, cool. I get two... Hold on, did you say they both... died?"
"I did."
"And I died as well after imparting the final lesson to Johnny..." Gyro ponders about the fact someone having Zeppeli as their last name dying. He blinks twice before asking, "Is it the Zeppelis' fate to die helping someone from the Joestar family?"
"Gck! D-Don't say that!" Johnny exclaimed. He becomes alarmed over the possibility his close friend will die once more.
"What? I'm just making an observation. You act like I will die once again."
"T-That's because... I don't want to lose you again Gyro..."
"C'mon Johnny. No way in hell I'm biting the dust after I became a zombie. I did tell you that before, right?"
"Right... You better be not lying Gyro." sighs Johnny.
"Well... To wrap up this talk, DIO killed me when he stopped time, Avdol died before I fought against DIO and many years later, we were revived as zombies by Kotaro to protect the girls from enemy Stands." Kakyoin thinks they have dragged this conversation long enough, so he finishes recounting his memory of the journey to Egypt. Also, he sees Sakura, Ai, Junko and Lily are getting frightened the more they hear about DIO and the wider world they spend their lives completely unaware of, so he has to finish this quick if he doesn't want them having nightmares.
"Okay. I finally know how you died Kakyoin. I'm sorry you have to remember that again." Sakura somewhat regretted asking him about what he was doing before his untimely death. While she got the answers, maybe it's probably for the best she didn't learn a vampire named DIO existed if his evil deeds are what caused him to survive well over a century.
"It's alright. No need to think too hard about it." He assures her, feeling sorry her mood dampens. "You can take comfort that DIO is no longer threatening the world and that he's not coming back for a long time."
"You're right. No monster will take his place, I'm sure of it thanks to your and Avdol's efforts."
Sakura's innocent statement seems to prompt Avdol to mumble something under his breath. "Monster huh? I wonder what that means to a zombie like me..."
Whether he does not want it heard by everyone or not, Junko heard what he said. She didn't get the full statement, so she asks, "Hm? Did you say something Avdol-san?"
"Huh?" Avdol is surprised when she asks him. Everyone's eyes are on him when he replies, "Did you... hear me say it?"
"Yes. I believe you said, 'I wonder what that means to a zombie like me?'." She repeated his words to everyone. "Can you please elaborate on that, Avdol-san?"
"Avdol, are you okay? You seem to be... tense and morose." Kakyoin asks his friend. The Egyptian didn't want his personal issue to be revealed out in the open so soon, having planned to deal with it all by himself. But thanks to his loose lips, they heard one part of it.
"...I suppose I must tell you something. Something that's been on my mind ever since I learned I was revived as a zombie." Avdol sighs.
"And what would that be?" Sakura inquires, wondering what is causing him grief.
"...Kakyoin, Sakura, Saki, everyone..." Avdol began, carefully considering his words in his head and seeing if he could say it out. "...Do you think... I am a 「monster」?"
Puzzled and confused expressions appeared on their faces after hearing his question. Wanting more clarification, Saki asks, "What do ya mean you're a 「monster」 Avdol?"
"Think about it, miss Saki," He begins clarifying, wishing everyone to have context and see where he is getting at. "Zombies are creatures who crave the flesh of humans without any moral compunctions while vampires desire to drink blood from their victims. Aside from sunlight, vampires are scrounges of the night whose superhuman strength, speed, durability, and sense makes them dangerous, especially to someone wicked like DIO. Both zombies and vampires are considered undead and typically, they serve nothing more than monsters who wish to threaten the living due to their lack of moral restraint."
"Uh huh. And based on what ya said about zombies and vampires being monsters..." She rubs her chin in thought, feeling like she's close to getting where the fortune teller is going for.
"Yes. Because I was revived as a zombie, I am wondering if that makes me a 「monster」 too."
The group now sees what Avdol is talking about as his forlorn eyes are directed downward. He's not done yet though, adding, "Since DIO once threatened the world and he is in the same category as zombies, it makes me think on whether I have rejected my humanity when I was revived not as a human, but as a zombie. Just learning what I have become makes me feel uneasy from time to time, reminding myself of the day I almost got controlled by DIO in my fortune telling shop. Just thinking about him and his inherent nature makes me shudder over the thought of me becoming evil as a result of being a zombie. I know this is detrimental to the 「image」 I like to present myself as, but I want to get it out of my head if I'm sure I can tell you all my issues. I apologize if I made you all uneasy from what I said regarding zombies being monsters, seeing how we are all obviously one. I just... want your answer and see if someone as heroic as me deserves to be called a 「monster」."
After revealing his personal predicament to everyone, the Egyptian waits for their response. Ever since he awakened as a zombie, Avdol has an... uneasy acquaintance with Kotaro, the producer who raised him from the dead. Sure he didn't raise the dead for malicious reasons, only interested in reviving seven girls and boys to save Saga, whatever that means, but just looking at his discolored arms and himself on a mirror, showing him what he has become when he was resurrected does nothing but bring him a little distress. As someone who is proud of himself, he dares not to think he is inadequate to what he wishes to present as, and if he does think so, he will try to brush it off. It's certainly a surprise for him that he held it within himself for a month and it only became a hindrance when he blurted out the question suddenly. Well, to be fair, it's bad to hold it within you for a long time and you must let it be known to someone you trust, including Kotaro, which he needs more time before he can really trust him.
"Avdol, lemme ask ya somethin'." Saki suddenly asks as her eyes bore on the robed man who turn to stare her curiously. "Are you willin' to hear me out? It's important."
"Uhh, sure. What is it you want to ask, Saki?"
"...Is there somethin' different about you after you became a zombie? And how does it compare to when you're still alive and kickin'?"
"Something different?"
"Like, how you act, your state of mind, anything."
"Hmm... I haven't done anything different before and after I died. While my body has seen better days, I believe I'm still the same as I was alive."
After hearing his answer, Saki claps her hands together, seemingly satisfied stating, "Well, there you have it! Sounds like you don't have anythin' to worry about being a zombie, Fire Lord!"
"Huh? What do you mean Saki?"
Listening to Saki's words, Sakura realizes why she's asking Avdol if he acted different before he died and after he's revived. Seeing he hasn't got it yet, she spells out Saki's intention to him and everyone. "Ah! I think I'm getting where Saki is going at, Avdol-san!"
"What?"
"If what you said is true, then it means you weren't different back when you were alive and when you become a zombie. Saki is asking you to see if you becoming a zombie completely changed your demeanor. From what I can guess, she's worried if your issue is eating you inside."
"What Egghead said!" The biker exclaims with a nod and smile, directed to him.
"Saki..." Sakura gives her a look for calling her that nickname again.
"I'm with the two. Even though we are zombies, we are definitely not monsters because we haven't abandoned our humanity thanks to Tatsumi-san awakening us all from our mindless states." Kakyoin told his friend. "And if you're comparing yourself to DIO, remember that he became a vampire on his own accord and became evil enough to try conquer the world, whereas we were revived as zombies but retained most, if not all of our humanity without problems. Even Tae, who is still unawakened, more or less hasn't done anything worrying caused by her mindless state." Said zombie is chewing Avdol's sleeves, seemingly acting harmless as she looks at his eyes. "Mmphhfff." She mumbles between her chewing.
"Kakyoin's right. Us being zombies doesn't mean we became monsters because we are aware of our actions like when we were still alive." Bucciarati agrees with a nod and smile.
"It's like Zipper Man said." Saki started, ignoring Bucciarati's eyebrow raise for calling him that. "Don't go worryin' your heads off. Remember, we are all in this together as fellow zombies!"
"I may not like my appearance but I'm willing to overlook it for the sake of continuing my profession after my death and the makeup making me look human." Ai affirms.
"Same here." Junko concurs.
"The worst that would happen to us as zombies is if we got exposed. Other than that, who cares if I'm one? All I'm glad for is to have a second chance in life!" Narancia isn't worried if they will be found out as zombies, as long as he doesn't blow this new lease in life.
"Remember that we must exercise caution, Narancia-han. Life may not go your way even after death." Yugiri cautioned.
"But that doesn't mean we must stay still all the time. We will take a gamble or risk it if it comes down to it." Gyro remarks.
"If I hadn't met Gyro, my paraplegic self would have gone on a worse path. I'm glad the changes stuck on as a zombie." Johnny smiles wistfully.
"Being a zombie isn't bad for me because I get to be young forever!" exclaims Lily.
"I'm with them. Just seeing I still have my own humanity is enough for me to overlook being a zombie and in a different world." Mamezuku nodded.
Seeing everyone is pretty much assuring him he hasn't rejected his humanity even as a zombie, Avdol lets out an appreciative smile, happy he gets to meet new and supportive friends. "I see. Thank you for your kind words and being by my side everyone. I guess... I was a fool in thinking about it."
"You're not, Avdol. It's only natural for you to worry." Kakyoin shakes his head, disagreeing with his statement.
"We are glad you told us, else we wouldn't suspect it otherwise." Sakura said. "Human or zombie, I believe we mustn't let it get over our heads if we want to live."
With Avdol having some closure to his issue of him being a monster, the casual atmosphere slowly returns as they proceed to test the Saganship Z they have. Among them, Saki is really eager to test it out, stating, "Now that we know some aspects of Kakyoin and Avdol's life when they were alive and solved Fire Lord's issue, can we try this product now? It's long overdue we get to try it." As if to emphasize Saki's words, Tae stretches a pharmaceutical strip Lily gave to her.
"Slapping these things on is supposed to fix stiff shoulders and back pain, right?" Narancia questioned, waving the strip in his hand.
"That's the idea." Bucciarati replied.
"There's a warning about putting them on other people." Sakura brings it up, reading the warning written on the back of the box. "Says it counts as practicing medicine."
"Who gives a crap? We're zombies, not people." She realizes Avdol must have heard and assures him, "O-Oh. I meant that in the literal sense Avdol. Don't take it personally."
"None taken." He assures her.
"I'm...not sure that's-"
Saki doesn't spare Sakura's thought before she slaps the strip on her back.
パァン
"Aaaaaaahhhnnnnn~!" Sakura screams in delight and pleasure as the medicinal patch did its job. *
"You too Kakyoin!"
"Hey, what are you-"
パァン
"Uooooooooooooooooo~!" Like Sakura, Kakyoin shouted in pleasure when the strip is slapped on his back.
"Amazing! Any stiff muscles I have are gone in an instant!" Sakura described it happily, moving her body without issue.
"You're right! It feels like I can do anything now that I'm healed!" Kakyoin exclaims, testing the results by posing. *
"It's because you're zombies! Your body absorbs the strip faster!" Saki proposes, happy to see a positive result and almost laughing at Kakyoin posing intensely.
"Look, look!" Lily poses like a ballerina, extending her arms and legs hard but it doesn't pop off from her. "I can move my body a whole bunch and it won't come off!"
"Ahn~!"
"Ahhh~!"
"Whoa~!"
"Whoahoahoa~!"
Junko, Yugiri, Narancia and Gyro tried it and let out moans of bliss when the strip is put on their shoulders.
"Give it a try, Ai!" Saki holds a strip for her, who claims that she's fine without it. The biker again didn't spare her any thought and quickly slapped it on her back. Despite the euphoric shock, Ai tries to resist it despite liking it.
Avdol, Bucciarati, Johnny and Mamezuku put the strip on their shoulders or back and just like the others, they experience the euphoria flowing through their body as any stiff pains and muscles are healed. The same goes for Saki when she lastly put it on her back.
Everyone is enjoying the feeling for a moment, making them imagine they're in heaven just from Saganship Z alone. "Can we use this in performance somehow? Maybe putting them on and then dancing energetically?"
Saki likes what Sakura is getting at. Perhaps this could increase the popularity of these products...
Around 18:00, in the hotel's banquet, everyone currently dining is enjoying Franchouchou performing their song 「Mezame RETURNER」. The idols sing their hearts out as they dance graciously for the captivated audience. Just as they predicted, the pharmaceutical strip did its job healing any stiff muscles, meaning Franchouchou is in better spirits for the performance.
In the middle of the performance, the idols stop as they go fetch the basket full of strips to be given (read: slapped) to anyone so that their body can recover a little after a long day's work. The audience enjoy the sensation, with one man even flexing his muscles as four strips are planted on his back.
After slapping them to the audience, Franchouchou continues the performance, going to the last leg of the song without issue.
"Song for the soul... Saganship Z for the body..." Kotaro started his usual rhetoric, smiling at the great performance of Franchouchou. "Now that's 「relaxation」."
When the performance is finished, everyone gives a round of applause to the girls, bringing a big smile on Sakura's face over the job well done. This includes their guardians who are with Kotaro as they applaud the girls with Narancia and Gyro being the loudest.
To be continued
*Administering dermal patches to people who aren't zombies is considered practicing medicine. Please don't try this at home.
*Think Kakyoin's intense posing except the finger pointing one in the Heritage for the Future game.
The state of Rianima's body:
Kakyoin - The two scars he got when Geb slashed his eyes and almost blinded remain on his face, similar to a large scar Sakura has on her head. The hole on his stomach is wrapped up in many bandages, filled with vital organs and flesh in that part and a spare spine to help his posture.
Avdol - The scar on his forehead and on his back remain on his body, covered by headband and clothing. Other than that, his body looks the same as he was alive, the only difference is his arms being easy to remove from the stump near his shoulder and stitched marks present on both ends.
Bucciarati - His body is in good condition except for the bullet wounds.
Narancia - The same as Bucciarati. In fact, he's the only zombie who doesn't have any physical injuries on his body thanks to Giorno's soul retreating back to his healed body after Narancia died.
Johnny - His head is covered in bandages from top to neck. His eyes, mouth, nose, ears and hair aren't covered.
Gyro - Gyro's torso has three stitched lines of wound converging to his heart, of which a hole is present on where the heart is. Bullet wounds are seen on his head too.
Mamezuku - Any open holes on his waist, shoulder and head are covered in flesh and organs similar to Kakyoin. These filled wounds are then wrapped in many bandages. Also, his left braid and four fingers in his left hand are restored.
