** As Pucci chases after Jolyne and Emporio, it seems like the [[HopeSpot two heroes will have a chance to get away]]. But Jolyne decides to [[HeroicSacrifice stay behind and sacrifice herself to allow Emporio to escape]], since Pucci will be able to track her no matter where she runs. As Jolyne keeps Emporio tied to a dolphin and cuts the line connecting her to it, she turns to make a LastStand against Pucci, summoning her Stand. Only a few moments later, she and her Stand are completely torn apart by Pucci. We see a GoryDiscretionShot of Stone Free's arm floating away in a bloody mess, and Stone Free's iconic sunglasses shattering. It is disturbing see just how swiftly and brutally the main hero of the Part was killed off.

** While it's hard to sympathize with him at this stage of the story, [[AlasPoorVillain Pucci's demise at the hands of Weather Report is utterly brutal]], even for ''[=JoJo=]'' standards. As he lays dying from Oxygen poisoning, Weather Report slowly pushes his bare knuckle against the side of Pucci's head, breaking his skull and causing his eyes to pop out slightly. When the beatdown begins, it's utterly ''savage''- Weather Report smashes Pucci's head brutally, before following up by ''tearing off the side of Pucci's face'' with his bare hands, and finishes by ruthlessly smashing him into a piano and against the floor so hard that his head explodes. This leads to him being {{Retgone}} out of existence on top of this, [[DeaderThanDead leaving him non-existent]] in the new universe.

** The brief appearance of the alternate universe iterations of Jolyne and Jotaro in the timeline created by Pucci. They're [[{{Gonk}} visually unappealing compared to the beautiful main iterations]] but in a subdued manner than the usual over-the-top ugly treatment Araki gives to characters, being more hyper-realistic. Jolyne's alternate counterpart has slanted eyes while Jotaro's counterpart looks like a normal middle-aged man dressed in Jotaro's attire. [[UncannyValley They look normal but it's due to how normal they look compared to their previous counterparts that gives them a subtle off-putting nature]].

** She also forces her victims to wear animal suits like rats and parrots. What makes this horrifying is that they aren't real suits. ''They're actually dead animals that had their organs hollowed out so she could fit her victims in.'' Imagine being shrunken down to the size of a rat, having it thrown on you, and being forced to wear it's skin. And if you happen to hate rats...

** First off, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBiWKSLXuWg Whitesnake's theme]] (which is used in tandem with Pucci's theme). The song starts off with a very quiet, somber violin note before a JumpScare in the form of what seems to be the sound of time being distorted, which leads to ominous bell chimes before heavy drum notes kick off the leitmotif shared with Enrico Pucci. Part-way into the theme, and we hear more distorted sounds (including a sound that's also re-used for, fittingly, Johngalli A's theme), as ominous organ chords play afterwards. And then the beat drops '''hard''' into a sad melody that is then accompanied by a male choir. The theme itself ends with a fade-out accompanied by violins continuously droning. All of this combined makes for one of the most scariest themes for an antagonist, let a lone a ''Stand''.

* In the anime series, we have heard some pretty threatening villain themes for each antagonist, be it major or minor. Pucci though? He takes the cake and eats it tenfold as all ''five'' of his associated themes bring in the nightmares in all sort of ways imaginable, thanks to the craftsmanship of Yugo Kanno's composition for the tracks.

** Pucci's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtZBSw3UUlU aka Priest]], is a remix of the above theme that goes for a more softer approach, but is still incredibly sinister regardless. The organ is more highlighted throughout the beginning and there's a section of what seems to be a male humming in a chant-like manner, as if Pucci was singing a hymn for his master DIO, before the male choir joins in, leading to a reprise of the leitmotif. Then, we hear the bridge section again, as it subtly increases speed- all while a ticking sound plays behind it all. At the end of the theme, the ticking lets loose as the song ends in a HellIsThatNoise-esque crescendo.
** We also get a theme associated for Pucci's evolved Stand [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Par08V47H4Q C-Moon]], which uses the same key but takes on a different approach as it uses frantic chords in place of the usual leitmotif, as we hear the sounds C-Moon powering itself up to change gravity itself throughout the song.
** The song that plays when Pucci is able to cheat his way through achieving Made in Heaven (as well as being used in an earlier episode during the second act), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gR6oUg7KTs New Moon Gravity]], also uses a different melody, one that is absolutely sad and hopeless in tone, thanks to the use of OneWomanWail. However, the melodies featured in this song are then used for both the final battle's theme, and...
** ...the theme for Made in Heaven, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JA-7JRuLso Clock Works]]. It borrows portions of New Moon Gravity on top of being a grim, hymn-like theme that is pretty much the musical version of our heroes going up against '''''literal God'''''. And a God who is unstoppable at that. Special mention goes to the middle of the song, which begins with a metronome ticking alongside Pucci's leitmotif, before the entirety of the song becomes incredibly distorted, as the organ attempts to play the bridge section, trumpets play distorted notes, what seems to be someone holding a note for far too long, and as a massive crescendo rises and rises alongside the ticking slowing down, speeding up...the song silences itself for a moment. The ticking gets back into rhythm- and allows the beat to drop '''hard''' for the rest of the song's duration, effectively telling the heroes that they are 100% ''screwed''.

* When looking to augment his plans, Pucci remembers a discussion he had with DIO about the weakest Stand that DIO had seen. He responds with something that sounds like a ghost story. Six hikers stay in a lodge, but one of the hikers' remarks about how the owner smelled bad within earshot. This caused the owner to subconsciously activate his Stand, Survivor. It's not imposing on its own, being a series of organic landmines that give off around 0.07 volts. Not enough to even hurt anyone, let alone kill them. But those volts are a manifestation of the user's anger lashing out and affect everyone who gets caught in Survivor's current by dumping that anger into their brains without them even knowing how or why they're angry. It eventually unlocks the natural inhibitions that keep them from hurting themselves by doing superhuman feats and makes them need to hurt ''something'' to get the aggression out. He didn't even mean to leave it there. And the hikers were stuck with it active for hours on end. By the time they continued on their path, they had become homicidally enraged with one another and ended up [[MutualKill murdering each other]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown in a fight so intense]] that people's teeth got lodged in the nearby rock. This serves the point of demonstrating to Pucci that no matter what a Stand's power is on paper, even the smallest amount of training - or even just the right situation - turns it into a weapon of untold destruction if properly utilized.
