The Hand appeared in front of Okuyasu and swept its right hand forward. "Josuke! It's over!" Reality disappeared between the two over a great distance. Much of the park's pathway was missing, and the grass was distorted in front of Okuyasu. However, Josuke was untouched. "Nice try Okuyasu, but I saw what you did earlier. I know your range has increased significantly. So if I simply stay far enough away, you can't hurt me." Okuyasu frowned. "So what? Your Stand is also close-range, it's impossible for you to hit me..."

"That's what you think! How do you like this?!" Josuke swiftly summoned Crazy Diamond behind him and scooped up a handful of pebbles. The Stand rapidly shuffled the stones into its other hand, striking them and projecting them forwards at astonishing speeds. "Dorarara!!!" They were headed straight for Okuyasu's head.

The Hand returned and began rapidly removing space in front of Okuyasu, taking the projectiles with it. "It'll take more than that to kill me, Josuke! I am above you!" The eyes of his Stand suddenly began to glow an eerie red. It rose its left hand, then swept the air. Incredibly, the stones returned and shot back at Josuke with full force. "What!?!"

Crazy Diamond stood between Josuke and the oncoming attacks. "Dorararararararara!!!" Josuke managed to knock away most of the projectiles, but two of them still struck Josuke, piercing through him. "Gah!" He was knocked back, but still able to stand. He was not expecting the attack at all. This additional ability was certainly a threat.

"Now you know Josuke! The Hand's new ability allows it to restore anything it erases! Anything! Just imagine the possibilities!" Okuyasu laughed maniacally. Unexpectedly, Josuke joined in on the laughing. "What?" "Oh nothing, it's just that now I know. I know that Yukako is alive, I know that anyone you erase from now on is alive, meaning once I kick your ass, you'll be returning them for me without question." Okuyasu was shaken by the observation. "Not if I erase you first," he growled.
