His Name is Diavolo
(そいつの名はディアボロ Soitsu no Na wa Diaboro)
Jean Pierre Polnareff vs. Diavolo

His strength fading, Bucciarati is determined to meet with their mystery contact before he dies. Running into Trish along the way, the two proceed into the Coliseum... Unbeknownst to Bucciarati, however, Diavolo has used his spiritual energy to trick the blind Bucciarati into thinking that Doppio is Trish. Meeting the mysterious ally, the man is rightfully suspicious of Doppio. Although Bucciarati attempts to introduce "Trish" to him, Doppio sees the Arrow in the man's hand, confirming his suspicion of their identity. Diavolo decides that now is the time to strike, abandoning Bucciarati and revealing himself, and he addresses the contact by name: none other than Jean Pierre Polnareff, from Stardust Crusaders! It seems the years haven't been very kind to him... Diavolo questions why Polnareff brought the Arrow, but intends to put an end to him regardless.

For this level only, you now control Polnareff, and must damage Diavolo until he has lost a certain amount of health (about 20%). However, Diavolo can erase time with King Crimson, causing your movements to be greatly slowed while Diavolo's remain at full speed. Diavolo can also briefly cover the screen with blood, shoot King Crimson out from far away, and create a shockwave that covers the whole stage. Something else to keep in mind, as well, is that Polnareff, being wheelchair-bound, is entirely dependent on his Stand, Silver Chariot; he cannot attack without it, and if you're knocked down when you're Stand Broken, you'll have to wait until the meter refills to get back up. As an aside, Polnareff's theme from JoJo's Venture plays during this fight.
