04Story

Background
One of Shigetaka's dogs comes back carrying a hand in his mouth one day. The nail polish on the woman's hand is unusual enough that Shigetaka and his friends, Koji Hirose (Universe 37) Incarnation of Koichi Hirose in the 37th universe, Muryotaisu Nijimura (Universe 37) Incarnation of Josuke Higashikata in the 37th universe, and Fukashigi Nijimura (Universe 37) Incarnation of Okuyasu Nijimura in the 37th universe, are able to figure out where the nail polish was sold.↗
Koji is the first to find Kira and nearly dies until the Nijimura brothers arrive to help. However, Kira manages to escape and forces Aya Tsuji (Universe 37) Incarnation of Aya Tsuji in the 37th universe to use her Stand Face Off to switch his appearance with a random passerby. Kira then kills Aya as well as Shigetaka as a warning not to interfere with him.↗↗
