Launching his Final Mode attack, Gathering Gale, which starts peeling away his own body, Wamuu begins firing a stream of wind capable of cutting stone towards Joseph. After a failed attempt at attacking him with a firebomb, Joseph strikes at Wamuu with Caesar's flaming bandana, which Wamuu shreds with his wind. However, this is all part of Joseph's plan, as both the oil from the bomb and the burning embers of Caesar's bandana have been breathed in by Wamuu, causing him to explode from the inside. Deciding Wamuu's wounds from the Hamon are fatal, Joseph gives him some of his blood to ease his passing as a sign of respect, similar to the respect Wamuu showed Caesar. When the other vampires suddenly attack, Wamuu uses the last of his strength to kill them, not wanting them to interfere until the end. Upon Wamuu's request, Joseph drinks the antidote from his ring, allowing Wamuu to pass away with no regrets. It is soon time for Lisa Lisa's battle with Kars, with Kars removing his headgear, revealing his long flowing hair. When their match begins, Lisa Lisa seems to have the upper hand with her Hamon-conducting scarf. However, they soon discover that Kars does not have the same warrior's pride as Wamuu, having used a vampire to act as his body double before he stabs Lisa Lisa with one of his Light Mode blades from behind. After claiming the Red Stone of Aja for himself, Kars sends his vampire army after the weakened Joseph. However, he is rescued by Stroheim and his men, along with Speedwagon and Smokey, who use ultraviolet lights to fight off the vampires whilst JoJo goes to face Kars. As Kars uses a weakened Lisa Lisa to force JoJo into a vulnerable position, dangling her unconscious body over a bed of sharp crystals, Smokey realizes that Joseph does not yet know that Lisa Lisa is in fact his mother.
