Chapter Summaries

Shikaku proposed using Ōtsutsuki Shibai’s cosmic power to strengthen the Ten-Tails and give the Ninja World a way to fight Dio and the Calamity God Tree. The group approved the risky plan, and Lin Qing gave his support as they prepared to begin.

• Oda Ieyasu explained that the Ten-Tails was far too weak to confront Dio or other cosmic-level enemies directly.
• Shikaku argued that the Ninja World needed a shortcut to counter advanced threats and revealed that his research had focused on Ōtsutsuki Shibai.
• Samui explained that the Research Institute had analyzed part of Shibai’s corpse, extracted his DNA, and received a faint cosmic response after broadcasting a signal with Ten-Tails chakra and Ripple resonance.
• Shikaku outlined a plan to fuse Shibai’s DNA into the Ten-Tails, make Sasuke its Jinchuriki, and add the Sage of Six Paths’ Yin-Yang power to draw on Shibai’s power in the universe.
• The group voted to approve the plan and asked little Katsuyu to relay it to Lin Qing, who approved and told them to stay safe.
• Hayato Kamihara urged everyone to get to work and promised to treat them to a foot massage afterward.

After Giorno explained how Dio had used him and Funny Valentine to hunt Jotaro and Dio variants across parallel worlds, Lin Qing prepared to divide the group’s search efforts.

• Lin Qing reassured Hot Pants that they would save her friends if they were alive and avenge them if they were dead, then led the group into Steel Ball Run.

Lucy and Johnny endured humiliating circus performances while Enya the Hag tormented them for Dio’s amusement and held Gyro and Robert E. O. Speedwagon’s souls hostage. Lin Qing and his allies arrived, healed Johnny, and confronted Enya, leaving the reckoning about to begin.

After defeating the D'Arby Brothers, Lin Qing rescued Gyro and Speedwagon and learned that the Saint's Corpse was not in their world. As the group rested before the coming war, Josuke asked to face Miracle at You himself, and news from the Ninja World arrived before Giorno replied.

• Lin Qing won back Gyro, Speedwagon, and the D'Arby Brothers' souls, then drove away the celebrating gamblers.

• Lin Qing watched the stars, and news from the Ninja World arrived before Giorno's reply.

Lin Qing learned that Yasuho Hirose’s fading self-awareness was holding back the Calamity God Tree’s full maturity, and decided to act while the initiative remained his. In the Ninja World, Sasuke began a universe-wide soul-summoning and aimed a bow at the Calamity God Tree.

• The Katsuyu Sage told Lin Qing that the Calamity God Tree would mature once Yasuho Hirose’s self-awareness disappeared.
• Giorno reported finding traces of Funny Valentine, and Lin Qing told him to continue tracking Dio’s duplicate.

Lin Qing and his allies set out in a golden boat to reach the Calamity God Tree’s core, where they hoped to awaken Yasuho Hirose and open a path to destroy its roots. As they fought through the tree’s attacks, Jotaro wondered whether Lin Qing could ascend to Heaven like Dio.

• Lin Qing explained that the group had to reach the Calamity God Tree’s center and awaken Yasuho Hirose so the arrow could strike its roots.
• Johnny embraced Gyro before Lin Qing and the others entered a spatial rift, leaving Gyro, Lucy, and the others behind.
• Hol Horse went to the nearby villa and was ambushed in the bedroom by two women invited by his companion.
• The group steered their golden boat through the tree’s branches as calamity attacks struck from every side.
• Susanoo and Weather Report smashed through wooden attacks, while Lin Qing and Jotaro used Time Stop to propel the boat beyond the encircling trunks.
• After watching Jotaro tire from repeated Time Stops, Jotaro asked Lin Qing whether he wanted to ascend to Heaven.

Lin Qing and Jotaro discussed Dio’s path to Heaven and the possibility of Star Platinum Over Heaven before Dio ambushed them. Facing Dio and Father Pucci, Lin Qing used Fate Ink and the Stand Arrow to evolve the Tear Blade into Ticket to Ride.

• Jotaro explained Dio’s six conditions for ascending to Heaven and suggested Lin Qing might help him master Over Heaven.
• Lin Qing considered Star Platinum Over Heaven but dismissed the idea because he could not follow Dio’s process in time or evade Paisley Park’s surveillance.
• A black-light wall appeared in the mist and shattered the golden boat, scattering the group.
• Lin Qing and Jotaro used Time Stop to rescue their companions, then saw Dio approach with Father Pucci.
• Dio threatened to use the group’s souls to ascend further into Heaven, and Lin Qing evolved the Tear Blade into Ticket to Ride with the Stand Arrow and Fate Ink.

Lin Qing gave Josuke Higashikata a Requiem ticket to help him reach the Calamity God Tree while the remaining fighters battled Dio and Father Pucci. Lin Qing discovered limits to Dio’s Over Heaven power, but Dio gained confidence after overpowering him and Jotaro.

• Ticket to Ride Requiem created a ticket for Josuke Higashikata, promising a route from the Sea of Mists of Despair to the Withered Calamity God Tree.
• Josuke left with Madara Uchiha, Jonathan Joestar, and Hot Pants to face the tree’s calamities and Kars while Lin Qing, Jotaro Kujo, Johnny, and Weather Report stayed to fight Dio and Father Pucci.
• Dio and Father Pucci rushed to stop Josuke’s group, and Dio activated The World to stop time as Lin Qing and Jotaro attacked him.
• Dio’s The World Over Heaven nullified Lin Qing and Jotaro’s attacks, caught Lin Qing’s Infinite Spin steel ball, and sent Jotaro flying.
• Lin Qing realized Dio’s time stop remained limited to nine seconds and signaled Jotaro and Johnny to attack while Weather Report fought Father Pucci.
• Dio, now confident after overpowering Lin Qing and Jotaro, declared The World Over Heaven invincible.

Dio launched a full-force attack against Lin Qing, Jotaro, Johnny, and Weather Report, but their coordinated assault briefly wounded him before he healed and overwhelmed them. When Dio struck at Lin Qing, the faith of the Ninja World poured Ripple power into him, allowing him to catch Dio’s reality-overwriting punch with superior energy.

• Dio charged at the four fighters, while Weather Report continued battling Father Pucci in the sky.
• Jotaro used the Stand Arrow to evolve Star Platinum into Star Platinum Requiem, whose cause-and-effect reversal grievously wounded Dio.

• Dio concluded that Lin Qing was the only one who could threaten him and landed a devastating punch before Jotaro, Johnny, or Weather Report could intervene.
• Lin Qing caught Dio’s punch with one hand as Ripple energy gathered from the faith of people across the Ninja World, leaving Dio uneasy and hunched over.

Lin Qing used the Ninja World's power and humanity's faith to overwhelm Dio, repeatedly breaking through Overwrite Reality and leaving Dio under mounting pressure. As Dio waited for the borrowed power to fade, Star Platinum Requiem attacked Father Pucci and brought him to the brink of death.

• The Ninja World's power and humanity's faith flowed into Lin Qing, who broke Dio's arm and struck him with the Blade of Ruin despite Dio overwriting the blade's effects.
• Lin Qing hit Dio with a Golden Spin Ripple Rasengan, destroying his head, but Dio restored himself with Overwrite Reality and kicked Lin Qing away.
• Lin Qing kept attacking Dio at high speed and tried to cut off his arms, while Dio realized Lin Qing's power depended on ordinary people's sustained belief.
• Dio counted on the belief fading, but Father Pucci called for help as Star Platinum Requiem left him critically wounded, and Jotaro moved in to finish him.

Jotaro, Giorno, Weather Report, Johnny, and Lin Qing killed Father Pucci while preventing Dio from saving him. With Pucci dead, Lin Qing turned to Dio, who ordered the eight JoJo spaces to accelerate and smash the world apart.

• Jotaro chose to attack Pucci rather than use Time Stop to save Johnny from Dio’s throwing knife.
• Giorno appeared with Gold Experience Requiem and reset the knife and Pucci’s escape attempt to zero.

• Giorno gave Lin Qing the Saint’s Corpse containing Funny Valentine’s Tainted Soul, bringing Lin Qing’s total to eight corpse parts and 35 Tainted Souls.
• Dio ordered the eight JoJo spaces to accelerate and crash into the world.

Lin Qing fought Dio while Josuke Higashikata, Madara Uchiha, Jonathan Joestar, and Hot Pants rushed toward the Calamity God Tree, aided by Josuke’s Ticket to Ride Requiem. At the tree’s roots, Wonder of U unleashed the calamity spring eyes to counter their luck, and Madara blocked the crashing branches before attacking Kars.

• Lin Qing realized Dio planned to use the God Tree’s collision with the Ninja World to disrupt the flow of belief and gain world power, then returned to the fight and trusted Josuke’s group to reach the tree.
• Josuke Higashikata, Madara Uchiha, Jonathan Joestar, and Hot Pants raced along the God Tree’s branches as Ticket to Ride Requiem’s luck cleared their path toward Yasuho Hirose.
• Madara warned Josuke not to let his concern for a woman narrow his focus, while Josuke resolved to face his responsibility and the grudge tied to Miracle at You.
• At the God Tree’s roots, Kars questioned why Miracle at You’s calamity power was failing, and Wonder of U struck Yasuho’s chest with its cane to activate the calamity spring eyes.
• The calamity spring eyes briefly canceled Josuke’s luck, allowing the God Tree’s branches to attack; Madara used Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence to hold them back.
• Madara used the Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Kars and swung his war fan toward Kars’s neck.

Madara Uchiha and the others pinned Kars down and disrupted Miracle at You, while Josuke freed Yasuho Hirose from Kars's influence. Yasuho opened a path through the Calamity God Tree, and Sasuke spotted the gap that could lead to victory as an arrow crossed between worlds.

• Madara Uchiha used Kamui Intangibility to evade Kars's blade, struck off his head with a war fan, and pinned his body down with Sage Art: Deity Gates.
• Hot Pants and Jonathan Joestar attacked Kars as Lin Qing's genetic virus, coating their weapons, began mutating his body and disabled Miracle at You.
• Kars turned into a hawk and tried to reach Josuke Higashikata and the ticket, but Josuke used a Ripple Crystal to wake Yasuho Hirose and dispel Kars's influence over her.
• Yasuho Hirose used Paisley Park to part the Calamity God Tree's branches, revealing a route forward.
• Sasuke opened his Rinne Sharingan in the Ten-Tails cockpit, saw a gap leading to victory, and an arrow crossed the barrier between worlds toward the tree.

Lin Qing and his allies crippled Dio, but the collision of eight JoJo timelines brought the Calamity God Tree into the Ninja World and gave Dio a surge of power. Katsuyu Sage saved Lin Qing from Dio’s reality-erasing attack by sending him into his past, where he awoke in the old universe’s void.

• Johnny used the Stand Arrow to awaken Tusk Act 5, and Lin Qing, Jotaro, and their allies wore Dio down with coordinated attacks.
• Giorno’s snakes made from Dio’s hidden remains destroyed Dio’s arms and half his body, while Lin Qing launched a time-tracing Steel Ball at him.
• Lin Qing saw the Great Toad Sage’s past pity and realized the Great Fortune-class calamity had struck Josuke, who was gravely injured before Kars cut off his arm and destroyed Tear Town’s ticket.
• The eight JoJo timelines collided with the Calamity God Tree, restoring and empowering Dio as the tree pierced into the Ninja World.
• Dio used Overwrite Reality to erase Lin Qing, but Katsuyu Sage intervened, seized Lin Qing’s soul, and sent him through a time rift.
• Lin Qing awoke at the anchor point of his Projection of the Past in the old universe’s void.

After Dio defeated Lin Qing, Lin Qing found himself stranded as a bodiless soul in the old universe and realized Otsutsuki Kaguya might offer a way out. Meanwhile, Dio killed Lin Qing’s allies and appeared before Madara Uchiha as the Ninja World’s survivors learned that Lin Qing had been defeated.

• Lin Qing recognized that the Katsuyu Sage had saved him at the cost of damaging her own story, then resolved to return and either save or avenge those he cared about.
• Lin Qing realized he had left Otsutsuki Kaguya in the old universe and considered her a possible way to reverse his predicament.
• Dio killed Johnny, Weather Report, and Jotaro, then incapacitated Giorno and took Gold Experience Requiem’s power for his plan to forge a new world.
• Josuke Higashikata fell unconscious into the sea of mist, while Hot Pants pursued him and Madara Uchiha, Jonathan Joestar, Miracle at You, and Kars paused their battle amid the upheaval.
• Madara Uchiha and Sasuke saw the Ninja World through a rift as the Katsuyu Sage’s message revealed that Lin Qing and the others had been defeated and the scattered slugs had died.
