At this point I want to clarify something important. Pinkie's Smile lets her do everything cartoons can do. So why can she counter almost any other Stand power? Because of one of the biggest powers a cartoon can have, and one her pony version specializes in... Breaking the Fourth Wall. Keep in this mind as we move on to this chapter.

And yes I think the only power that could truly counter Smile would be Gold Experience Requiem.

During the time when Pinkie and Rohan were dealing with Cheap Trick, Yoshihiro finally made contact with his son. To his surprise, he had wound up killing Riku. "You idiot!," Yoshihiro said, "Do you realize you may have sent warning bells to whoever he was in contact with!?" Kira looked tense. "He... He set me off. Bragged about his friend who could look in on me at any time." "It's the worse possible time too," Yoshihiro said, "They're starting to piece together that you replaced Takashi Yamashita. With all this evidence mounting... Even the police will be too much for you to handle with an actual body on your hands."

Kira was biting his nails, his way of holding back tears. "What am I going to do Father? I'd finally achieved the peaceful life I always sought. Hell, I finally found a woman I could actually love! She just told me... That she's become pregnant..." Yoshihiro gasped. "You may be using Takashi's face, but your body is still your own... That means... I'm going to become a grandfather..." Kira grabbed the edged of his father's photo. "What can we do!? What more can we do!? I cannot leave this town!"

He then realized that something was happening with his arm. He gasped when he realized the arrow had punctured his hand and was now going into his arm. "You... You had it..." "I was trying to make more Stand users to defeat Josuke's group," Yoshihiro admitted, "But this is something I never imagined was possible. You're already a Stand user. What more can the arrow give you?" Kira was struck as the arrow moved through his arm and hit him in the head. As he did, he felt something new occur.

"The hell's going on?," Pinkie asked. It was morning, but she couldn't remember falling asleep. More to the point, somehow the date hadn't changed. 'My toon world is still active. I had it active as we exited Reimi's alley. And for some reason... I can't take it down.' She contacted all her friends to let them know. "Okay, I can still tune people in and out. But somehow I've lived through two whole days, and yet only one has passed." She then remember that she and Rohan were going to check on Riku.

Rohan and Pinkie caught up with Riku, looking uncharacteristically nervous. Getting a bad feeling, Rohan used Heaven's Door to read him. As he looked through the pages, he came upon something weird. "It's... A warning not to read any further." "Has this ever happened before?," Pinkie asked. "It's not supposed to," Rohan noted, "Is your toon world still up?" "It hasn't dropped," Pinkie replied, "In fact, I can't seem to drop it." As Rohan read, strange things happened. Somehow, Riku had memories of events that were happening right in front of them.

"Yeah, I remember it raining yesterday," Pinkie said. "Yesterday the skies were clear," Rohan pointed out. "From your perspective," Pinkie argued, "But when my toon world wouldn't go down, it came with all kinds of weird memories of things that shouldn't have already happened." Eventually, they got to page where it mentioned that Riku's dad had been replaced by Kira, but then underneath was an odd page, predicting the death of both of them. Rohan saw a tiny version of Killer Queen. "Killer Queen's third bomb," it said, "Bites the Dust!"

Something clicked, and an explosion of smoke occurred. "This bomb will annihilate anyone who looks for me," Kira said through Bites the Dust, "And will activate on anyone who approaches Riku in an attempt to find me. If Riku reveals my identity to anyone, or writes it down, it will activate then and there." "What was that about annihilating?," Pinkie asked. Killer Queen looked surprised, as Rohan and Pinkie were merely covered in soot. "Your Stand was active?" "It's been active," Pinkie said, "In fact, I haven't been able to deactivate it for a while."

"How fortunate for you," Killer Queen said, "Looks like fate will be kind. But now Bites the Dust's true power will activate." To the duo's shock, they got sucked into some sort of wormhole. Pinkie wound up waking up back in her room. She could feel her Stand active, and called all her friends again just in case. She saved Rohan for last. There was something she wanted to know. 'Yeah, I remember everything,' Rohan said, 'Looks like Kira's gained a new power. He can rewind a portion of time.' "And Smile not only kept us alive," Pinkie realized, "But also let us remember the previous loop."

'We need to find Riku,' Rohan said, 'If he realized this he may try to avoid us.' "All the others know my toon world is spread across Morioh and we're all tuned in," Pinkie said, "Let's hope Bites the Dust doesn't have any more nasty surprises." They headed to the normal meeting spot. "I think it was right around now that the loop started," Rohan said. In that instant, the same explosion occurred, but Pinkie's Stand protected them as they coughed at the soot.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?," came a voice from nearby, "JUST HOW BROKEN IS THAT STAND!?" They turned their heads as the sound of running was heard, and a tearful Riku came out. "You're... You're still alive somehow..." "Yo," Josuke said, "We heard an explosion of some kind. Good thing your Stand's active, Pinkie. Looks like it was a doozy." "I knew I felt funny this morning," Pinkie said. Pinkie explained what was happening to the others. Earlier Riku had been feeling despair. Kira's new ability seemed invincible. But from what Pinkie was saying, her power was nearly infallible, since it ran on cartoon logic and only had a few weaknesses. The thought of it made Riku smile.

He immediately blurted out what he knew without fear. Sure enough, the same thing happened. Jotaro, Koichi, Josuke, and Okuyasu all got caught in a cartoon explosion, covered in soot but unharmed. And that's when things started going backward. When Riku found himself back in his bedroom, he couldn't help but smile. He got his usual call and spoke with Hayato, the same one he had before but never answered. Kira caught his little smile. 'Something's off. It's like he knows something I don't...'

He carefully followed Riku. He saw Rohan and Pinkie get out from a nearby car. Pinkie seemed to be looking around. Kira gasped when she was looking right him. She got out a two-way. "Found him! Mark now!" Kira suddenly felt himself suffocating. "What... What the hell...?" "You thought you power was invincible," Riku said, "But fate means nothing to a cartoon." Kira's eyes widened, as he saw Kosaku come up from behind him. "Pinkie's called several times so far," he explained, "Or at least that's what she says. And all things considered I'm inclined to believe her."

"The game's up Kira," Josuke said, "We have you once again." "Damn it...," Kira said, "It not only keeps her alive, it preserves the memories of those who lose them? How does such an overpowered Stand exist?" "A Stand is the manifestation of one's willpower," Pinkie explained, "My will is to make all those around me happier by taking away what bad things I can. That much will combined with a positive outlook? It's only fitting Smile would be super strong." Smile went to punch Kira, who quickly retrieved Killer Queen, deactivating Bites the Dust.

"Damn you all," Kira said, "I only wanted a tranquil life... Just a vegetative soul." "It's overrated," Kosaku retorted, "Such a life has only brought me misery." Kira stood up. "Regardless, you all are in the way of my tranquility." "And for good reason," Josuke said, "You've killed a lot of people Kira, and caused a lot of misery. Someone like you... Doesn't deserve a tranquil life!" Crazy Diamond punched Killer Queen, knocking Kira into the wall. Just then, something shot out from it, which Okuyasu drew in using The Hand. However, it exploded against him, knocking him back.

"What was that!?," Pinkie asked. "I was getting concerned when Riku smiled like nothing was wrong," Kira explained, "So I brought a little something extra." Killer Queen opened its stomach to reveal Stray Cat. "Luck is still on my side. It looks like he'll survive, though. That toon world is still active. But now I've learned something interesting. Enough damage can still knock someone within the toon world unconscious." "Damn you Kira!," Josuke said, "Don't think your luck will hold indefinitely!"
