Josuke Higashikata cracked his knuckles. “If you know the future, you can help us stop him. But if you’re lying…” Crazy Diamond’s fist glowed.

“I’m not,” Az said. Then he hesitated. “But my Stand doesn’t fight. It records.”

“You’re not from this timeline,” Jotaro said, adjusting his cap. “Your existence is a paradox.”

Az-Animex wasn't a Stand user. Not yet. He was a collector—a quiet, obsessive archivist of the bizarre. His basement apartment was a cathedral to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure , every volume and screenshot catalogued. But tonight, clutching a strange, arrowhead-shaped shard he’d found near the ghostly alley, he felt a searing pain in his hand. The world dissolved into static. Josuke Higashikata cracked his knuckles

The town of Morioh glistened under a late summer sun, a picturesque postcard hiding a tumor of evil. Beneath the calm of the local Trattoria Trussardi, a different kind of hunger stirred.

Az stared at Koichi’s body. The horror wasn’t just loss—it was the weight of knowing how Koichi should have lived, grown, and fought alongside them. The tears came, hot and useless. “I’m not,” Az said

In a bloody alley behind the school, Kira’s Killer Queen touched Koichi’s back. Echoes ACT3 screamed “S-H-I-T!” before the body crumpled into a silent, unmoving form.

When Kira was finally crushed beneath the tire of a careless driver, his Stand disintegrating into golden dust, Az stood apart from the group, trembling.

“No!” Josuke roared, rushing forward. But Crazy Diamond couldn’t fix death. Only injuries.
