4 4 "The Emperor and the Hanged Man"
At a stopover on the way to Egypt, Polnareff is attacked by "The Hanged Man," an enemy Stand who has two right hands and can only be seen in reflections. Realizing that it must be controlled by the same Stand user that had killed his younger sister, Polnareff breaks away from the rest of the group to seek his revenge. Polnareff is lured into a trap set by The Hanged Man and his partner, Hol Horse. When some of the party come to his aid, one is killed by Hol Horse's Stand, "The Emperor."
5 5 "The Judgement"
Kakyoin and Polnareff desperately seek a way to defeat The Hanged Man, who can strike out at them from "the world inside the mirror" while remaining invulnerable to their attacks. How can they hope to defeat an enemy who can move at nearly the speed of light and attack from almost any direction?
6 6 "The Mist of Vengeance"
A thick fog envelopes the group as they travel towards Egypt, so they seek refuge in a nearby town. There, the companions stumble across a strangely mutilated dead body lying on a street corner.

In the hotel bar, Polnareff encounters N-Yah, a beautiful and mysterious young woman on a deadly quest of her own.

Polnareff becomes a living puppet under the control of N-Yah and her incredible Mist of Death Stand, "Justice."

Jotaro and his companions finally reach Egypt. There, they are met by a Speedwagon Foundation helicopter that delivers a new addition to their group—the mysterious Iggy "The Fool."

9 9 "Iggy the Fool and N'Dool the GEB (Pt. II)"

He betrays Jotaro at a critical moment, offering him to "God Geb" in order to save his own life.

The companions search the huge Egyptian capital of Cairo, showing everyone they meet the photo of a mysterious building where they think Dio resides.

Can the Joestar party outwit a master gambler at his own game?
11 11 "The Warrior of the Void: Vanilla Ice"
Jotaro and his companions finally arrive at Dio's lair and find their way to the room where his coffin resides.

But even that doesn't quench Dio's thirst for blood...

As the shattered hero lies alone and dying, he realizes in the last moments of life the true nature of Dio's Stand... can he warn the others before it's too late?

The century-old blood feud finally comes to a close in the final battle between Jotaro and Dio. "The World" seems invincible as Jotaro is struck time and time again with murderous blows.

Famous quotes containing the words episode and/or list:

    Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Lastly, his tomb
    Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
    And none shall speak his name.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
