[Here's Johnny.]

Page 5:
Johnny: Gyro... I was shot by.............
I was shot by..........
Gyro: Don't talk, Johnny.
I can stop the bleeding temporarily with the steel ball's rotation, and if I sew the wounds with the "Zombie Horse" thread, I can heal them to some degree.
But the damage is done... This time your journey really is over.

Page 6:
Johnny: ..............
I was shot by "Dio and Wekapipo"!
But it was because of the President's "ability".
I saw it! ......The President has the ability to go to "different worlds"!
President Valentine's body "went to a different world".
And he brought another Dio and a different Wekapipo back from that world and arranged it to make them shoot me.
Gyro: Calm down, Johnny......
I'm gonna treat you now.
Stop groaning about nightmares.
Johnny: Well it was definitely that kind of ability!
At the very least, that's what I saw!

Page 7:
Gyro: .............
Johnny: The President left "this world" we're in and "goes" somewhere else..........
.............And then he "can come back".
He even does things like bring back copies of himself! ..........
The "way he travels" is...
he gets between something.

Page 8:
Johnny: When we were in the park, I saw him come out from in between our horses.
And then he lodged himself between the two horses and disappeared.
Next, when the President and Dio were caught between the flag, they disappeared into the ground.
And only half of Dio's body was left behind...........
And finally, the President came back from between a door and a wall...
And Dio and Wekapipo
came back through the flag.

Page 9:
Gyro: That's enough Johnny, stop......
I listen to your story afterward. We'll go through the whole thing slowly.
Johnny: Dio got through, but
then there were two Wekapipos in this world
and Wekapipo died!!
Wekapipo no longer exists in this world.......
There's a "world on the other side", and the Wekapipo there was brought here through the flag.
The two Wekapipos met.......
And then they were annihilated. If another one of you is brought back from the other world,
both of them die.
Wekapipo is dead!

Page 10:
Johnny: And the President came back to Independence Hall unharmed.
That is President Valentine's "ability".
Gyro: Johnny
I believe you saw everything you saw.
Right now... I don't hold any doubts or anything as to what you said or what happened, and I'm not gonna try to prove to you that it was an illusion or anything.
But then, what happened to the "eye"?
The left "eye" that Dio had?

Page 11:
Johnny: The President took the "eye" and left...
Gyro: .............................
That's what I'm talking about, Johnny...
The President used his enigmatic Stand ability to obtain his goal, the "eye".
It was only because he had collected the entire corpse, that he went back to his residence without taking your life! He's completed it. ...He has to have the entire corpse at his place now.
It's definitively over now... There's nothing we can do anymore...
Knowing when to give up requires "courage" too, doesn't it? With those wounds we've got nothing more we can do

Page 12:
Johnny: Hey... Gyro......!
My legs moved before.........
Gyro: ..............
Your legs can move......?
Johnny: L... Let me show you......
I can move them......
L... Look, they moved!

Page 13:
Johnny: L...... Look..............
...Loo~~~~~k!!

Page 14:
Gyro: ............
johnny: Shit. Just a little more! Dammit!
I'm sure it's just a little more!! I want to get my hands on that corpse no matter what!
I don't care about "living" or "dying" or who's "just" and who's "evil"!! I don't even give a fuck about the "corpse" being a saint or whatever!!

Page 15:
Johnny: I'm still "negative"! I want to get up to "zero"!
If I can get the "corpse" I can get my "negative" back to "zero"!!
Dammit, SHIIIIIIT!
That it's come to this, I wish I hadn't known about the "corpse" in the first place!
Gyro: .............
Johnny: Just a little! It's just a little further!!

Page 16:
Gyro: ....................
The "stirrups" on a horses saddle were invented...............
in the 11th century.
Did you know that? Only just the 11th Century! ......
Until then, humans only rode horses with saddles without these "stirrups" to support their weight.
They rode on their backsides and left their legs dangling.

Page 17:
Gyro: Don't you think it's strange?
To leave the legs dangling even causes blood congestion.
Even the geniuses of Ancient Egypt that built the pyramids,
or the father of medicine Hippocrates, or Alexander the Great who conquered the world using armies mounted on horseback didn't consider in the slightest that you could ride a horse with your legs.
There were no "stirrups" for... that whole time. Yet humans have been riding horses for thousands of years! And despite all that, they weren't finally invented until past 1000AD.
Do you know why that is?
Johnny: ............
Gyro: The "stirrups" don't just simply give you a place to put your legs and help keep your ass from slipping.
You absorb the horse's power from the lower half of your body and fight while mounted. It was invented for the sake of "technique".

Page 18:
Gyro: The horse's power enters the rider's hips.........
and it's then sent to the back and shoulders in a helix shape...........
then all the way to the arms to use techniques with weapons!! The ones that needed the stirrups were the "knights of the middle ages"!
Johnny: ..................
............

Page 19-20:
Gyro: Understand...? I'll give you a little more of a concrete explanation.
The "steel balls" are not something rotated simply using the wrist.
We're taught the "infinite scale" from nature.
The energy follows along the lower body from the "hips" to the "shoulders" to the "elbows", "wrists" and "fingers", and once it's gone around your entire body you obtain invincible rotational power.
There are techniques which are handed down through the Zeppeli family
that can be further strengthened by the horses power through the "stirrups"!
If you can plant both feet in the "stirrups"............... Johnny,
and produce that "rotational" energy obtained from the horse................
there may be a chance to stand against the President's yet unknown stand abilities.

Page 21:
Johnny: Obtain power from the "horse"...
!?
What kind of rotation is that? Wh... What would happen with that kind of rotational energy?
Gyro: All I said is we have a chance.
I have no way to verify anything about what I just said.
As of now, I've never once used the horse's power to throw a steel ball. Nor have I ever ever seen my father do it...... So I don't even know for sure if that "rotation" really exists.
This is nothing more than something passed down from distant ancestors in the Zeppeli family. I know nothing else about it.
The Zeppeli family is a family of executioners. We're not "mounted soldiers".

Page 22:
Johnny: The Joestar family has a history of being horseback riders.
Gyro: That's why I explained it! It's likely the only ones who can use it are "horseback riders"!

Page 23:
Johnny: ...................
Thank you.
I hope you'll please treat my injuries soon... Gyro.
Soon! I need to have my injuries completely healed... I want to ride my horse......
Pursuing the President...
and figuring out where the "corpse" is may already be impossible, but...
"There's still Lucy Steel"!!

Page 24:
Johnny: She should still be here somewhere in Philadelphia. We don't know what kind of situation she's in right now,
but if her true self hasn't been revealed to the President yet,
she can give us information!
Let's go rescue "Lucy Steel".
There's still time.........!!
I can't believe Lucy has ended up as our final "trump card"...

Or I'll "cut" you.
I have a favor to ask...
Without doing anything else, bring this coach outside!
That would be nice...
I need you to bring this coach out in order to test something.

Valentine: Once you've turned, keep going straight ahead...
go to the "Delaware River".
Lucy: "Delaware" river?
Where are you bringing me...? (Voice in my head?)

Page 39:
Valentine: Go to the river......
Lucy: "Who are you"?
And the "Tear cutter"......
Why did you help me out of the government building?
What on Earth........................

Page 40:
Valentine: Once you've gone to the "river".........
Look for a ship......

Page 41-42:
Valentine: The "Left Eye"
and the "Right Eye".
"Go to a ship"......... Lucy.
"Find a ship and board it!"

Page 43:
Valentine: The "Corpse".........
The "Holy Corpse" which entered into Lucy Steel's body in the fireplace room
has chosen the one is able to assemble it all, me!!
The "Corpse"
favors I, Valentine!!

Page 44:
Valentine: In this world it moves for my sake!!
The Corpse's ability that is activated through Lucy's body is my ally.

Page 45-46:
Lucy: AAAAA
AAAA Th... The voice... it... it's him!! [AAAA is really big.]
Valentine: Well done, Lucy Steel.
No one noticed you come here. No one will be able to find you!
For the sake of the "one you will give birth to"......... board the ship... we are headed to the final location......
The final site on the "map".
