At the age of 69, after neglecting his Hamon training, the awakening of DIO's Stand gifted him the ability to manifest vines perfect for locating his family nemesis and channeling Hamon. Alongside his grandson Jotaro, close friend Muhammad Abdul, and his new friends Kakyoin, Polnareff, and Iggy, he crusaded against DIO's forces for the sake of his daughter Holy, who's own Stand was being poisoned into attacking her by DIO's malice echoing throughout their bloodline. Despite his old age, he fathered a bastard son, Josuke Higashikata, whom he would also support in his own adventure, though to a much lesser amount. |
