Hol Horse treats the story lightly, but at a later date, he realized that the existence of DIO was engraved in his soul. Hol Horse heads for Morioh Town, the land indicated by the prophecy of Tohth God !!''

The Chance Encounter
In Cairo, 1999, Hol Horse speaks to an old woman about her son. He was a bird handler who worked for DIO and was the owner of Pet Shop and a parrot. The woman tells Hol Horse that the parrot has gone missing, and she fears that the Speedwagon Foundation will kill it if it happens to be a Stand User.

Hol Horse accepts the job and heads out to find Mariah and other previous minions of DIO. He enters their hideout and discusses with Mariah the impact that DIO still has on them, 10 years after his death. He then meets with Boingo, who uses his Stand Tohth to show their future. The book describes the two of them journeying to the town of Morioh in Japan to hunt down the missing parrot.

With the two of them in Morioh, Hol Horse roams the street asking passerby if they've seen the parrot. Meanwhile, a woman named Ryoko visits the grave of Noriaki Kakyoin, her cousin, and discovers the book of Tohth lying on the ground. She puts it in her bag as she passes by Hol Horse, unaware of its importance.

While Hol Horse is in the middle of the street, he suddenly hears DIO's words, and struggles to remind himself that he is in fact dead. He then sees a hypnotized man riding a car through the sidewalk plow through pedestrians, in the same exact manner as Wilson Phillips did when he was under DIO's control 10 years ago. Hol Horse only barely manages to knock the car out of the way with his Stand, when the car is pushed back by the Stand of a young boy with a pompadour.

The boy meets eyes with Hol Horse and recognizes that the gun in his hand materialized out of thin air and comes to the conclusion that they share similar abilities. He then notes that just because they both have special abilities doesn't mean they're meant to be friendly.

Hol Horse looks at Josuke with astonishment, as he was able to crush that entire car which means his Stand is a close-range power type.

Josuke makes a comment on Hol Horse's outfit, to which he replies something about his hair, which angers Josuke a lot. He then uses Crazy Diamond on the people on the street who were all hurt by the man hypnotized. The man driving the car's nose is slightly off, but then he starts puking up what looks like film reels from his mouth onto Josuke's shoes.

Scared shitless of Josuke's attitude and ridiculously powerful Stand, Hol Horse makes a run for it, but is followed by Josuke soon after. Josuke decides to stick around Hol Horse because of something he said that he bases his style on what other people think. They introduce each other properly, and Hol Horse wonders what else Tohth predicted. Meanwhile, the Parrot is seen perched on a branch with its Stand visible behind it.

Elsewhere, Ryoko looks over the book of Tohth and wonders why she saw her cousins name in it, and wonders if it has answers in it about his death. She opens to the most recent page and witnesses the future be written in it. She suddenly realizes what it means and heads off somewhere.

In the streets, a gang of delinquents are driving around recklessly, when they happen upon Ryoko. She asks them not to part in the middle of the street when one of them insults her hair. From behind them, Josuke Higashikata appears, assuming they're talking to him, and uses his Stand to turn their car into a bird cage. Ryoko reveals that she saw this come true in the book, and Hol Horse and Josuke appear next to her.
