In s02e46 _Dio's World, Part 2_ when, Dio mortally wounds Kakyoin and Kakyoin
realizes his stand's power, why did he use Emerald Splash, knowing that the
effort would immediately kill him? Granted he was mortally wounded, yeah, he
didn't have much to lose, but wouldn't it be easier to simply communicate to
Joseph via their stands?

It would a) obviously be less cryptic and b) require even less effort, because
they seem to have been communicating through stands during battles and also
wounded.

Therefore, why did he not explicitly tell Joseph about Dio's power and instead
used Emerald Splash to crush the clock?

Why didn't Kakyoin use his stand to communicate Dio's secret?


Realistically, it's much more interesting to see Kakyoin use his signature
move one last time to reveal the secret behind DIO's stand. It would be less
exciting to just have Hierophant Green slither over to Joseph and just speak
to him. Plus, Kakyoin hardly had the strength to manifest Hierophant Green and
perform his final Emerald Splash.

But you can also consider that DIO didn't want them to know that The World can
stop time. He is more powerful if he knows their abilities but they don't know
his. By using the Emerald Splash to destroy the clock-face, symbolizing the
stopping of time, Kakyoin is able to tell Joseph about DIO's stand without DIO
catching on. To DIO, it just looks like Kakyoin was trying to "go out with a
bang," but Joseph knows Kakyoin personally, and realizes that he wouldn't do
something so pointless.

Because they were too far away, and as far as we know, Stand's speech works
like regular speech, and they can't just talk to each other from far away.
