**** Additionally, both the intro to Phantom Blood and the penultimate intro to Stone Ocean involve a shot of the main [=JoJo=] clenching their empowered fist and then walking towards the camera before bursting into a full sprint, yelling out as the camera zooms in on their flaming eyes. Then the final intro of Stone Ocean takes it a step further by ending with a shot of the main [=JoJo=] and the main villain floating in the middle of an endless staircase. [=JoJo=] punches the villain in the chest as the camera pans above them, exactly like how Phantom Blood's intro ends.
