Naruto: Starting from the time when the Six Paths of Pain was Kira Yoshikage

The Sora family mansion.

Just a few days after Yoshikage Kira and the others began learning Ripple, Jotaro's mother, Holly, collapsed in pain after her Stand was "awakened."

It's true that Stands are incredibly powerful abilities, and many people dream of having them. However... for some ordinary people, Stands are sometimes a curse rather than a talent.

Some people's stunt doubles are born to rip people off, like that stunt double called "Cheap Tricks," who serves no purpose other than having negative effects.

Furthermore, Stands are formed by the combination of body and mind. If the Stand user's body or mind cannot support the Stand, then for them, the Stand is like a poison or a disease.

Jotaro's mother, Holly, was in this situation.

With Dio's reappearance in the world, the Joestar family's direct blood relatives also began to awaken their Stand abilities, such as Jotaro's Star Platinum and his grandfather Joseph Joestar's Purple Hermit. This is a kind of destiny.

Logically speaking, awakening a Stand should be a good thing, but unfortunately Holly awakened too late. She is now 45 years old... and her body is no longer at its peak, so it is simply not enough to support the awakening of a Stand.

That's why she's in so much pain.

Unless this situation is stopped at its source, Holly is doomed.

Although Jotaro outwardly calls his mother "that stinky old woman," he is actually very concerned about Holly's safety, no less so than his grandfather Joseph.

Upon learning that only by defeating Dio could his mother be saved, he agreed almost without hesitation.

Avdol and Joseph go without saying, and Kakyoin also joined the team because he was rescued by Jotaro and also to avenge being controlled by Dio.

Thus, the Stardust Crusaders, who were preparing for an expedition to Egypt, formed the group (commonly known as the Egypt DIO Fighting Team).

Yoshikage Kira also joined in, partly because he realized after spending time with Jotaro and his group that they were truly good people, friends worth risking your life for. He also wanted the "arrow"—more accurately, the insect arrow—in Granny Enya's possession.

The main function of ordinary "arrows" is to artificially create Stand users, and under certain conditions, they can also cause Stands to transform again and gain new abilities (such as Kira Yoshikage's third bomb in the original series). Insect arrows, on the other hand, can make Stands transform and evolve, allowing their abilities to undergo a qualitative leap.

For example, Silver Chariot Requiem and Gold Experience Requiem.

Originally, it would only take a few hours to fly from Japan to Egypt, but unfortunately, while Joestar was determining Dio's location, the other side also determined their location.

Before he had fully adapted to his body, he arranged for countless assassins to try to stop everyone. In addition, Joseph had the characteristics of a vehicle assassin, so he would crash planes, have shipwrecks, and even explode midway through a train journey.

This series of unexpected events greatly slowed down the advance of the Dio group.

Fortunately, everything turned out alright. As one Tarot Card Stand assassin after another was killed by DIO, another Stand user, Jane Pierre Polnareff, who was controlled by DIO's flesh bud, joined the fight against DIO's group.

Unlike the other serious members of the DIO fighting team, this guy with his own hair gel was more like a mood-maker, bringing a lot of joy to the journey.

At the same time, Yoshikage Kira also discovered something very interesting.

He seems to have gained an extra ability.

A faint purple halo flashed in Yoshikage Kira's eyes as he channeled his chakra and slammed it against the nearby ground.

"Spiritual communication!"

As a wisp of white smoke rose, an enormous stag beetle, roughly the size of a fist, appeared before Yoshikage Kira. It possessed teeth so sharp they could easily tear apart steel, and an astonishing speed that was difficult for ordinary people to catch.

It was Gray Tower, the first Tarot Card Stand assassin sent by DIO.

Destructive power E, speed A, range A, endurance C, precision E, growth potential E.

However, unlike the original Grey Tower, which was just a large stag beetle, this giant stag beetle summoned by Yoshikage Kira had an extra black rod the size of a thumb on its abdomen.

Its appearance is exactly the same as the summoned beasts summoned by the Animal Path of Pain.

Unlike the original storyline where Gray Tower was defeated by the Emperor's Emerald Splash, he was killed after touching Kira Yoshikage's Killer Queen bomb.

Killer Queen is a Stand perfectly suited for assassination, especially with the stealth of First Bomb. It's incredibly effective against small Stands like this, taking them down in one hit.

It was at the moment he killed his opponent that Yoshikage Kira discovered that any Stand user he killed could have their Stand transformed into... a summoning beast.

The standard ability of the original Animal Realm seems to be—spiritual communication.

I don't know if it's related to this.

Having an extra ability is definitely a good thing; otherwise, Yoshikage Kira's Animal Path clone would truly be no match for Yamcha's Deva Path, and in terms of physical attributes alone, it would be weaker than the original Animal Path.

After learning that he could summon a Stand, Yoshikage Kira joined the fight to get kills.

The Stardust Crusaders arc, the third part of the JoJo series, is the first part to introduce the Stand concept. While the darker abilities of the Stands featured in the arc may not be as pronounced as in later parts, there are still many Stands with disgusting and functional abilities.

These stand-ins naturally became Kira Yoshikage's targets.

When they were halfway to Egypt, Yoshikage Kira was already able to summon several Stands.

For example, the initial beetle Stand "Grey Tower," the extremely skilled underwater fighter "Shadow Moon," and the enormous ghost ship "Power"...

Especially with 'Power', even though the Stand itself is quite bulky, it is completely countered by Killer Queen.

Without knowing her intelligence, the Killer Queen's destructive power is simply astonishing.

"Actually, the world of JoJo is quite good too."

Yoshikage Kira, who originally only intended to hone his Yang Release skills through Ripple training, smiled with satisfaction after confirming that it appeared to be a mutated Rinnegan ability.

Given enough time to grow and enough powerful substitute summoning beasts, even if Yoshikage Kira himself is not strong enough, he can definitely bring a huge surprise to the ninja world.

Don't forget the most basic premise of Stands—non-Stand users cannot see Stands.

In other words, ninjas cannot see substitute summons when they are fighting.

At this time, the Egyptian delegation had arrived in Karachi, intending to travel from there to the United Arab Emirates to exchange places.

Here, DIO and his group will encounter a very troublesome enemy, who is also the Stand ability that Yoshikage Kira desires...
