| 17 | ''Stone Ocean'' (ストーンオーシャン) is the sixth part of the long-running ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' series. It is the GrandFinale of the original continuity, published in Magazine/ShonenJump between 2000 and 2003 (with its first chapter being published on the series' 13th anniversary). It's preceded by ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'' and followed by ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Steel Ball Run]]'', the first entry in the series following a ContinuityReboot. |

| 19 | Set in 2011, Jolyne Cujoh, daughter of [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureJotaroKujo Jotaro Kujo]][[note]]''Cujoh'' is the official spelling seen throughout various media, including the original Japanese translations; the reasoning for this difference is unclear. Many fans, however, opt to spell it as ''Kujo''[[/note]], is framed for murder by a crazed disciple of [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureDIO DIO]] and sent to [[OnlyInFlorida Florida]]'s Green Dolphin Street Prison. Before she is completely incarcerated, Jotaro manages to awaken Jolyne's Stand powers and warn her of what is to come. However, he is rendered comatose when prison chaplain Father [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureEnricoPucci Enrico Pucci]], DIO's most trusted follower, uses his own Stand to steal both Star Platinum and Jotaro's memories in order to further DIO's agenda. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Jolyne, along with fellow transfer inmate [[SpicyLatina Ermes Costello]], an amnesiac man known only as [[AmnesiacHero Weather Report]], the love-stricken [[CrazyJealousGuy Narciso Anasui]], a sentient Stand-using plankton colony named [[TokenNonHuman F.F.]], and the young boy [[WiseBeyondTheirYears Emporio Alniño]], embark to stop other Stand-using inmates and staff, save her father, and prevent [[SinisterMinister Father Pucci]] from remaking the world in DIO's image. |

| 23 | An anime adaptation was announced on April 4, 2021 during the ''JOESTAR The Inherited Soul'' event. [[https://twitter.com/anime_jojo/status/1378654840499236869 See the initial announcement here.]] |
| 24 | |
| 25 | On August 8, 2021, a worldwide release on Creator/{{Netflix}} was announced, with a simultaneous release of the first 12 episodes on December 1, 2021, and a weekly television broadcast from January 8, 2022. The second batch, consisting of episodes 13-24, was released on September 1, 2022. The final batch, consisting of episodes 25-38, were released on December 1, 2022. [[https://twitter.com/anime_jojo/status/1424219088444747778 See the official trailer here.]] |
| 26 | ---- |
| 27 | !!Do you believe in these tropes? |
| 28 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 29 | [[folder:0 - C]] |
| 30 | * TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: While most of the Stands are still animated traditionally, certain Stands like Manhattan Transfer and Whitesnake sometimes are animated with cel-shaded CGI. A non-Stand example occurs with Lang Rangler whenever he's in movement while crawling on walls. |
| 31 | * EleventhHourRanger: Jotaro has become this in this part. Put in a coma for nearly the entirety of ''Stone Ocean'', he doesn't join Jolyne's party until the final fight is halfway through. |
| 32 | * EleventhHourSuperpower: A villainous example, Pucci gains the powerful [[spoiler:Made In Heaven]] at the very end of the part. [[spoiler:Similarly, Emporio wields Weather Report to defeat Pucci.]] |
| 33 | * TwelveEpisodeAnime: An odd case. The anime adaptation of the Part had 38 episodes, only one less than the previous two seasons, but its initial release was in three sets: the first 12 episodes in December 2021, the next 12 in September 2022, and the last 14 three months later. |
| 34 | * AbandonmentInducedAnimosity: Prior to the events of the story, Jotaro had abandoned Jolyne because [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou he didn't want her getting involved in the world of Stand Users]], and only came back for her whenever she got in legal trouble, which she did [[WoundedGazelleGambit on purpose]] so that she could see her father again. When Jolyne finds herself in Green Dolphin Street Prison, Jotaro comes to break her out, but Jolyne wants absolutely nothing to do with him, calling him out on supposedly being a deadbeat dad. |
| 35 | * ActionDad: Jotaro is this at the very end of ''Stone Ocean'', where after several volumes of being put into a comatose state, he joins the fight against the BigBad. |
| 36 | * ActionGirl: The entire series has several, but Jolyne is notable for being the first and so far only official female [=JoJo=] thus far. |
| 37 | * ActorAllusion: During the Bohemian Rhapsody arc, the newscaster reporting on the Kenshiro vs. Raoh fight is voiced by Creator/ShigeruChiba, the narrator of the original ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' anime. |
| 38 | * AdaptationDeviation: From the anime adaptation: |
| 39 | ** Johngalli A.'s introductory scene (which shows him taking a shower) is moved earlier than in the manga. The anime also moves a flashback to young Jolyne being arrested for car and wallet theft to much earlier, during Jotaro's visitation (in the manga, the flashback happens over ''60 chapters'' after Jotaro's visitation). |
| 40 | ** Jolyne showing Jotaro the bone she got from Emporio during the visitation is moved later, merging it with a similar scene occuring during their breakout attempt. |
| 41 | ** After Jolyne and Jotaro escape Whitesnake's acid-filled visitation room, Whitesnake is shown in full for the first time in the manga. In the anime, the same thing happens, but only Whitesnake's hand is seen. |
| 42 | ** In the manga, after Jolyne chooses to head back into the prison grounds, Jolyne avoids being shot by a guard by using Stone Free's string to mess with the guard's gun. In the anime, the guard's colleague stops him from shooting her at all. |
| 43 | ** Ermes tries jogging her memory by recalling WesternAnimation/BugsBunny's birthday, instead of Mickey Mouse's like in the manga. |
| 44 | ** Instead of Ermes being pulled into Emporio's hideout and meeting Weather and Anasui for the first time, it was Jolyne in the anime who was pulled in. Also, the scene was moved back from during the middle of the Highway to Hell arc to the beginning of the Operation Savage Garden arc, merging it with a similar scene taking place at the same time in the manga. Additionally, Anasui's female appearance is never seen; his first appearance in the anime uses his revised masculine design. |
| 45 | ** Miraschon's parole hearing scene is moved a bit earlier, to before Jolyne and F.F.'s catch game instead of during it in the manga. |
| 46 | ** The ending of Miraschon's fight is altered slightly: |
| 47 | *** In the manga, Jolyne catches F.F.'s ball through the elevator by unravelling it, and then threatens Miraschon to return Ermes' liver (which she obliges) as she attempts to throw it back to F.F., before a guard paid by Miraschon takes the ball away and drops it, thus making Jolyne fail her bet. Marilyn Manson attacks Jolyne for this, but then Jolyne picks the ball back up and throws it at Miraschon's face, calling a new bet where she pummels at her 1,000 times. |
| 48 | *** In the anime, Jolyne catches F.F.'s ball through the elevator, and she throws it back at them as the elevator opens on the next floor, only for the guard paid by Miraschon to catch the ball before F.F. can, putting it in his pocket. Marilyn Manson attacks Jolyne for seemingly failing the bet, before Jolyne bashes the ball at Miraschon's face -- Jolyne reveals that not only did she sneakily steal back the ball from the guard by unravelling it, but also that ''she never specified who she should play catch with''[[note]]unlike in the manga, where Jolyne explicitly bets along with F.F.[[/note]], which means the guard catching the ball counts too. Marilyn Manson acknowledges this and slinks away, returning everything owed, as Jolyne continues the 1,000-fold catch game, now with Miraschon by pummeling the ball at her. |
| 49 | ** The scene of Whitesnake meeting with Sports Maxx is moved earlier than it is in the manga, becoming TheStinger for the twelfth episode. |
| 50 | ** In the manga, the fight against Yo-Yo Ma is shown in AnachronicOrder, with Jolyne and Anasui boarding the boat with Yo-Yo Ma being shown before their first encounter with it and F.F. going to look for D an G. In the anime, the battle is shown in chronological order, with Yo-Yo Ma first seen eating the fruit housing the Green Baby. |
| 51 | ** The woman that Pucci meets outside of the supermarket looks the same in both the manga and the anime, but in the manga, she's a mother who's shoplifting underwear, while in the anime, she's not outright shown to be a mother and is a [[AdaptationalNiceGuy soft-spoken, civilized civilian]] carrying a bag of ISOStandardUrbanGroceries. In turn, the anime no longer has the very disturbing scene of Pucci accidentally [[BodyHorror aging one half of her baby's body]], though the still-disturbing scene of the eggs she purchases hatching into grotesquely deformed, premature chicks is left intact. |
| 52 | ** The scene in which Jolyne and Ermes steal a Porsche outside the hospital is reworked so that the two start succumbing to Heavy Weather's effects before they get into the car instead of while they're making their escape. The Shell Wearer insects also appear just as they're about to get in, as opposed showing up to after Jolyne crashes. |
| 53 | ** In the manga, Weather Report gets [[spoiler:lynched by the Ku Klux Klan]] in a flashback scene showing his backstory. In the anime, the scene is very similar, but [[spoiler:instead of Klansmen in hoods and robes, the lynch mob is just a group of unmasked racist men]]. |
| 54 | ** Jolyne's monologue about how she stole a car outside of a supermarket so that Jotaro could come rescue her is now placed between [[spoiler:Jotaro getting his face cut open by Pucci and falling over dead]], rather than coming after [[spoiler:Jotaro keeling over]]. In addition, Jotaro manages to [[spoiler:[[SayMyName say Jolyne's name]] one last time, rather than his death being lineless]] like in the manga. |
| 55 | * AdaptationDistillation: The anime removes some scenes and dialogues from the manga: |
| 56 | ** One of the prison guards is compared to Creator/TomCruise by Ermes in the manga. In the anime, Ermes simply says that the guard is handsome. |
| 57 | ** Mentions of Jolyne being a former biker gang member are removed. |
| 58 | ** The anime cuts out a scene where Jolyne is being arrested for the car crash at her house in front of her mother, and then being interrogated afterward. |
| 59 | ** The anime removes a scene where Jolyne struggles to get out of her straitjacket, along with a scene where the two guards tasked to strip-search her discusses about letting new inmates suffer for a bit. The scene of Jolyne undergoing a medical check-up is also removed. |
| 60 | ** Ermes is no longer shown watching Jolyne being strip-searched in the anime. |
| 61 | ** The scene of Jolyne admiring a transgender prisoner's body is removed, although the trans prisoner is still seen in the anime as a background character. |
| 62 | ** Jolyne bribing the prison's hairdresser to not cut her hair is cut. |
| 63 | ** The manga has a scene cut from the anime, where Johngalli A. overhears some prisoners playing with cards before the cards are blown by the wind, and then he predicts where the cards will land. |
| 64 | ** The flashback of Jolyne being arrested for car and wallet theft is streamlined and appears much earlier. |
| 65 | ** F.F. walking in through the prison's playing area and asking someone about playing catch is cut. Jolyne saying F.F. throws a ball "like a queer" is also cut. |
| 66 | ** Jolyne and F.F.'s baseball catch game went for longer than in the anime, including a scene where Jolyne gets knocked out by a stray basketball and has to use her strings to catch the baseball, and another scene where they accidentally cause two prisoners to fight each other. |
| 67 | ** Marilyn Manson removing Ermes' tooth with gold fillings is removed. Also removed is a scene where Ermes attempts to bribe Marilyn Manson with [=McQueen=]'s secret stash, which Marilyn Manson rejects since it's not her money. |
| 68 | ** The explanation for the prison's shop is cut down considerably; the anime only has a short scene of inmates buying things from the shop. |
| 69 | ** Jolyne no longer [[SpoilingShoutOut spoils]] ''Film/TheSixthSense'', instead finding Miumiu immediately after she's done reading the Ron the Viper comic. |
| 70 | ** The man/baby hybrid that appears shortly after [[spoiler:Pucci obtains C-Moon]] was removed in the anime, [[BodyHorror for very good reasons]]. The baby's mother appears by herself instead, [[AdaptationalNiceGuy with no indication]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking that she was shoplifting]]. |
| 71 | ** Anasui no longer explicitly mentions Mickey Mouse or Disneyland during the Bohemian Rhapsody fight and doesn't freak out over the absense of Mickey in the brochure. The manga panel showing Mickey's tail is excluded too. |
| 72 | ** The scene where Weather Report [[spoiler: seduces two women into giving him a massage, [[KickTheDog then electrocutes them to death]] shortly after regaining his memories]] was cut from the anime. |
| 73 | ** When Pucci is explaining [[spoiler: Heavy Weather's [[YourMindMakesItReal true]] [[SubliminalSeduction powers]] to Anasui and [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength Weather himself]], he doesn't reference the 1955 film [[Theatre/{{Picnic}} Picnic]] while doing so.]] |
| 74 | ** A scene in the manga during the climax with [[spoiler:Made In Heaven]] causing a family mourning someone at a hospital to run out of the room when the body rotted away was exempt from the anime. |
| 75 | * AdaptationDyeJob: |
| 76 | ** Downplayed with Jolyne and Anasui; Jolyne's hair is yellowish-green in the anime rather than the bright green it is in the manga, while Anasui's hair is pink rather than the magenta it is in the manga (presumably to differentiate him from Diavolo). |
| 77 | ** Played straight with Johngalli A., who has white hair in the anime rather than the magenta he has in the manga; this was likely also to differentiate him from Diavolo. Also played straight with Jolyne's mother, whose hair is reddish-brown in the manga but blonde in the anime. |
| 78 | * AdaptationExpansion: The anime adds some scenes and setups that weren't in the manga, some of them meant to set up later plot beats: |
| 79 | ** The second episode has a new scene showing the aftermath of Jolyne and Gwess' fight. Gwess sleeps on the top bunk in pain, while Jolyne looks at the photo of her parents in the pendant, thinking about Jotaro. |
| 80 | ** The third episode adds a scene where Jolyne notices her handcuffs are suddenly gone, hinting that she and Jotaro have been trapped inside Whitesnake's dream since this instance. |
| 81 | ** The fourth episode adds a scene where Jotaro stops time to escape an encounter with a prison guard. |
| 82 | ** The tenth episode opens with a new scene where Pucci monologues about the difference between humans and animals -- that is, their desire to go to [[ArcWords Heaven]]. There is also a new scene of Jolyne bribing the guard that strip-searched her while on the run to the courtyard. |
| 83 | ** The eleventh episode adds a flashback scene of Lang Rangler after stabbing his college professor. |
| 84 | ** The twelfth episode adds a scene of F.F. and Ermes looking at the commotion in the courtyard. |
| 85 | ** The thirteenth episode adds a scene where, instead of F.F. knowing about Gloria Costello's murder, they and Jolyne go to Gwess and purchase intel off of her (for a [[PetTheDog friend's discount]]) of where to find documentations of Gloria's death. |
| 86 | ** After Sports Maxx is defeated, a scene is added of Gloria's spirit descending from the afterlife and giving Ermes a CoolDownHug to thank her sister for avenging her. |
| 87 | ** Ermes gets a scene [[spoiler:where she is told of F.F.'s sacrifice, and is seen pouring out a glass of water in memoriam of her friend while promising to avenge them]]. |
| 88 | ** There is an added scene of Ermes and Jolyne talking to each other alongside Emporio outside of Green Dolphin Street Prison just after they escape it, followed by Jolyne [[TheCoatsAreOff discarding her prison coat]] to the wind. |
| 89 | * AdvertisedExtra: |
| 90 | ** The trailer seems to set up Johngalli A. as the BigBad of the season (although he sets up the plotline, he's ultimately only a WakeUpCallBoss), presumably to preserve [[spoiler:Pucci]]'s reveal. In addition, right before Johngalli A.'s picture is shown, there's a brief shot of Whitesnake's hands, as if to imply that Whitesnake is Johngalli A.'s Stand. |
| 91 | ** Jotaro is featured a lot in the marketing for the anime adaptation, from being in the back of the character key art to having a prominent role in the trailer, being listed as the last of Jolyne's comrades for the part. However, Jotaro is rendered comatose for a majority of the part, and once he comes back for the final fight, he's limited to just being an EleventhHourRanger. |
| 92 | ** Anasui had been given a reasonable amount of focus in the advertising leading up to the release of the anime's first episode batch, including having his Japanese voice actor be revealed as Creator/DaisukeNamikawa, but he only appeared for less than a minute in the first batch towards the very end, without even saying a single line. |
| 93 | ** Weather Report had a decent amount of focus given to him in the advertising for the anime's second episode batch, but he ultimately had a very minor role in getting it to rain for F.F. when Whitesnake had them cornered, and didn't even get a physical appearance beyond his very few lines of dialogue. |
| 94 | * AffectionateNickname: "[=JoJo=]" is this to Jolyne. Her mother used to call her [=JoJo=] and she wants her boyfriend Romeo to call her [=JoJo=] as well. Anyone else, however, is not allowed to say it. |
| 95 | * TheAlcatraz: Green Dolphin Street Prison is this, even for the numerous Stand users in it. Apart from being a very tight maximum security prison, the chief warden Miuccia Miuller's power renders escape near impossible. In Part 6, Jolyne is framed for a DUI murder and sent here where she discovers the legacy of the family's former source of affliction. |
| 96 | * AllForNothing: [[spoiler:With Enrico Pucci dead and his Made In Heaven plan erased, the last of DIO's influence ends as well.]] |
| 97 | * AllJustADream: 80% of Jolyne and Jotaro's fight against [[spoiler:Johngalli A.]] is this, as Whitesnake trapped them in [[DreamWithinADream multi-layered dreams]] from which they would only wake up when they discovered the [[AGlitchInTheMatrix discrepancies between reality and the dream]]. |
| 98 | * AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Averted with [[spoiler:Enrico Pucci and Weather Report who were SeparatedAtBirth. In fact, it's a plot point; as a result of their mixed ancestry, one is white-passing and the other is not, which plays heavily into their backstories]]. |
| 99 | * AmbiguousEnding: As seen under BittersweetEnding below, everything after [[spoiler:Pucci's death and the Made In Heaven-verse's collapse]] is vague enough as to exactly what happened that two vastly different interpretations (both with their own merits and flaws) exist. |
| 100 | ** The anime adds some clarity, implying through the final episode's ED that [[spoiler:the timeline before ''Stone Ocean'' remains the same, and that Pucci's death resulted in him and his effect on others being undone]]. |
| 101 | * AmnesiaMissedASpot: Even with his mind wiped so clean that he can't even remember how to speak, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20141008143447/http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/2632/jotarojolyne.jpg Jotaro still subconsciously remembers his daughter]] (and also, more amusingly, still has an intense attachment to his hat). |
| 102 | * AnachronismStew: A minor example in the anime adaptation. The story takes place between 2011-12, but when a woman is leaving Lucky L Supermarket, one of the products seen in the background is Keebler Cereal, which wasn't introduced until 2017. |
| 103 | * AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler:Perhaps the most brutal example in the entire series. Of the entire main cast, only Emporio survives.]] |
| 104 | * ApocalypseHow: Class X-4. [[spoiler:Pucci's grand plan refers towards "achieving Heaven", and the ultimate evolution of his Stand, Made In Heaven, grants him the ability to accelerate the passage of time, which he uses to drive the universe forward to forge a new one [[InTheirOwnImage in the way DIO envisioned]].]] |
| 105 | * ArcWords: "Gravity", being the idea that people linked by fate are naturally drawn together. [[spoiler:This comes into play in the ending, in which all of the heroes meet up again in the new universe, with the caveat that none of them remember their adventures.]] |
| 106 | * ArtifactTitle: ''Stone Ocean'' refers to Green Dolphin Street Prison, [[TitleDrop as Jolyne herself states]] when naming her Stand, and is the main setting of the part. [[spoiler:However, the last third of the part sees Pucci enact the Heaven plan's final stage, thus leaving the prison to head to Cape Canaveral, and forcing Jolyne and crew to break out and give chase across Florida. Only in the finale is the prison itself revisited.]] |
| 107 | * ArtisticLicenseBiology: |
| 108 | ** In the TV anime, Pucci tells F.F. [[spoiler:as they are being cooked alive in boiling water through him infusing a Stand power into them that makes all water they come into contact with boil instantly]] that the highest temperature all aquatic life on Earth can withstand is about 89.6°F or 32°C. This is true for most multicellular aquatic life, but there are some extremophile bacteria like those found near deep-sea hydrothermal vents which can withstand temperatures well above 100°C[=/=]212°F. |
| 109 | ** Pucci accidentally using C-Moon's powers while helping a woman who's leaving a supermarket causes the woman's eggs to hatch into deformed chick embryos. In reality, store-bought eggs are not fertilized, meaning the yolk cannot become an embryo, and even if it could, the fact that it's refrigerated would ruin the incubation process. |
| 110 | * ArtisticLicenseLaw: |
| 111 | ** It goes without saying, but there's no prison in the world, never mind in the United States, that could get away with strapping ''explosive bracelets'' to prisoners without negative international publicity. |
| 112 | ** Pucci finds out about Jolyne contacting the Speedwagon Foundation by going into the security room and asking for permission to the phone call recordings, to which the officers oblige due to him working for the prison. In real life, prison chaplains have no jurisdiction to hear recorded messages in a prison's security databanks, especially not in American prisons. |
| 113 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: |
| 114 | ** One exclusive to the English translation of the manga; the Rods that Rikiel controls [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DbrSsBYVwAADD4e?format=jpg&name=large are stated]] to be the descendants of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalocarididae anomalocarids]], despite the accompanying image clearly showing an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_worm acorn worm]], an entirely unrelated invertebrate that looks nothing like an anomalocarid. However, the [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/2/26/The_Rods_of_Sky_High.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20150607151637 original Japanese version]] accurately refers to it as a ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanoglossus Balanoglossus]]''. |
| 115 | ** Another scientific inaccuracy exclusive to the English translation for the profile for Sky High; it's stated that the Rods likely originally fed on the body heat of aquatic dinosaurs before evolving flight and moving to the sky. As any dinosaur-obsessed person could tell you, while there were likely many semiaquatic species, there are presently no known truly aquatic dinosaurs, especially not any marine dinosaurs. This may originate from confusion between dinosaurs and other Mesozoic marine reptiles. Notably, the Japanese translation instead states that the rods moved out of the sea and evolved flight in order to feed on the body heat of dinosaurs. Though the idea of dinosaurs having body heat is very much ShownTheirWork. |
| 116 | * AvengingTheVillain: Half of Enrico Pucci's motivation is to get back at the Joestars for killing his master, DIO. |
| 117 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:One way to interpret the ending is Jotaro, Jolyne, Anasui, Ermes, and Weather returning to life thanks to Pucci being RetGone. With no Pucci, they were never killed in the first place, and Pucci's erasure also causes a butterfly effect that leads to each of them having significantly improved lives (albeit with no memory of Part 6, as Pucci's erasure ''also'' means Part 6 will never happen).]] |
| 118 | * BadassInDistress: Jotaro gets his Stand and memories stolen from him, rendering him comatose, it is up to Jolyne to take them back. |
| 119 | * BadassNormal: Perhaps one of the most exaggerated cases in the whole series. Savage Garden, the mysterious Speedwagon Foundation envoy who returns the Star Platinum disc to Jotaro, is revealed to be... nothing more than an ordinary carrier pigeon. A carrier pigeon who somehow managed to avoid the rain of toxic poison dart frogs that gruesomely killed everyone in the courtyard aside from Jolyne and Pucci, apparently weaving through the rain with immense precision for a significant period of time. It's possible that it could have had a Stand, given a similar case in Iggy from Part 3 (another animal sent to protagonists from the Speedwagon Foundation, who ''did'' have a Stand), plus its name, which references a famous band like many other Stands, but this is never stated. |
| 120 | * BaitAndSwitch: During the Operation Savage Garden arc, as Jolyne approaches the courtyard, she notices a suave looking man wearing a jacket and scarf, which is assumed to be the envoy sent by the Speedwagon Foundation to retrieve Jotaro's Stand disc. It isn't until she notices the Green Dolphin Street Prison logo on his sleeve that she realizes he's just a guard hired to gun her down. |
| 121 | * BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:While most of the main cast die after Pucci earns his EleventhHourSuperpower, Emporio manages to successfully trick Pucci into pushing Weather Report into his body. Using his old friend's Stand, Emporio corners Pucci and kills him, which undoes the effects of Made In Heaven. This has the side effect of causing Pucci to be RetGone, so when Emporio returns to his old universe, none of the events of the Part have happened. With Pucci dead, Jotaro has the ability to raise Jolyne properly so she grows up well-adjusted, now named "Irene" to symbolize that the Joestar legacy of fighting evil no longer needs to continue. The rest of the main cast survived, and while none of them remember the events of the Part, "Gravity" eventually pulls them back together again. The series ends with Emporio sobbing in Irene's arms as he, Irene, Ermes, Anasui (renamed Anakiss) and Weather Report drive off into a new life, free of the torment they suffered at Pucci's hands. On one hand, Emporio will need to suffer the trauma of Part 6 alone. On the other, his friends are at his side once again, and the future looks bright for all of them.]] |
| 122 | * BlandNameProduct: |
| 123 | ** Emporio's baseball uniform in the manga has a red "C" with a blue outline on it, a reference to the Chicago Cubs logo. The logo on the anime's key design and trailers is instead a red "C" on a blue circle, [[ProductDisplacement which was censored in the final release, removing the "C"]]. This was updated sometime in late December 2021, still resembling the Cubs logo but now using the initials "GD" and a picture of a dolphin to represent Green Dolphin Street Prison. |
| 124 | ** On the other hand, the anime also features an {{aver|ted trope}}sion. During TheStinger of "Jailbreak...", when Pucci sees a woman leaving Lucky L Supermarket, multiple named brands can be seen in the background, including, but not limited to, Pop Secret, Keebler Cereal, Fritos, and Funyuns. |
| 125 | ** The Kennedy Space Center is renamed to the Cape Canaveral Space Center in the anime. |
| 126 | * BloodierAndGorier: This part ramps up the violence and BodyHorror with characters often being exposed to [[SerialEscalation powers with more inventive and creative abilities than what came before]]. Said abilities include removing vital organs to clear up debts, air decompression from being in zero gravity, oxygen poisoning, electrocution, acidic melting, body part inversion, etc. Justified as the part takes place in a prison facility with the prisoners being prone to violence. |
| 127 | * {{Bookends}}: |
| 128 | ** ''Phantom Blood'' was the story of Jonathan and DIO's conflict as adopted brothers; in this part, one of the protagonists, [[spoiler:Weather Report]], is the estranged sibling of main antagonist Enrico Pucci. |
| 129 | ** It all began with the death of Jonathan's mother, who gives her life to protect her son, and ends with [[spoiler:Jolyne's death protecting Emporio, having the original continuity begin and end with the death of a female Joestar family member to protect a child.]] |
| 130 | ** ''Phantom Blood'''s last shot was of a clear, blue sky, with the faces of every main character. This part has the same thing happening in its ending, but the sky is grey with rain, and only the heroes [[spoiler:who died against Pucci]] are seen. [[BittersweetEnding This is meant to symbolise how the entire main continuity ended: happily, but with a heavy price]]. |
| 131 | ** The part begins and ends with the sky raining. |
| 132 | ** ''Phantom Blood'''s opening starts with a very brief montage of pages featuring six of the [=JoJos=] in reverse order, from Jolyne Cujoh to Jonathan Joestar, the first one in the series. The [[spoiler:Made In Heaven]] version of this part's final opening shows the montage again, this time going forward from Jonathan to Jolyne. Both openings end the same way, with Jonathan facing Dio mirroring Jolyne facing Pucci. The fact that Jolyne is the last [=JoJo=] featured emphasize that her part closes the book on the original continuity. |
| 133 | ** The final ending song of ''Stone Ocean'', and thus the saga of the first six parts of ''[=JoJo=]'s Bizarre Adventure'', is [[spoiler:"Roundabout," the first ending song]]. |
| 134 | ** Meta example: The first episode premiered on December 1, 2021. The GrandFinale ended exactly one year later. It also happened to be the 10 year anniversary of the day that ''Phantom Blood'''s final episode aired. |
| 135 | * BoomerangComeback: Kenzō uses a boomerang-shaped piece of metal to partially decapitate F.F. from behind. |
| 136 | * {{Bowdlerise}}: |
| 137 | ** The infamous scene of DIO and Pucci lying in bed originally had Pucci's shirt rolled up to expose his back in the manga, but in the anime, it's covered up. |
| 138 | ** A downplayed variant; the scene in the manga showing C-Moon's powers starting to manifest shows Pucci handling a woman's baby as she walks out the supermarket, causing it to age rapidly and turn into a grotesque half-adult man-half baby. Despite the anime certainly not shying away from infant harm before, this scene was disturbing enough, especially as what would be one of the last scenes of the second batch of episodes, that the scene was removed. The scene still includes Pucci aging the eggs she purchased, turning them into grotesque, deformed chicks. |
| 139 | ** While the narration still hints at them being a malicious, discriminatory group, the KKK imagery in the anime is significantly toned down, as while the attack on Wes and Perla is still framed as a lynching, the Klansmen are no longer wearing their hooded robes, nor are they ever explicitly referred to as the KKK, other than the narrator referring to the mob as a "clan" in the dub. |
| 140 | * BreakTheBadass: Pucci weaponizes Jotaro's love for Jolyne ''twice'' to decommission him and show that even he has weaknesses. This comes to a head in the final battle, where Jotaro [[spoiler: lets out a horrified scream for the first time upon seeing Jolyne about to die.]] |
| 141 | * BreakTheCutie: At the end of ''Stone Ocean'', poor Emporio [[spoiler:witnesses all of his companions dying, and even after the ResetButton, is forced to bear the trauma of Part 6 alone]]. |
| 142 | * BreastExpansion: F.F., hidden in the body of Atroe, can manipulate the moisture inside her corpse to artificially expand the breasts and hide something between them. |
| 143 | * BreatherEpisode: Compared to the other fights in the Maximum Security Ward arc, D an G and Yo-Yo Ma are noticeably more laidback, even taking into consideration the effects of Survivor being active. Viviano Westwood was the most ruthless opponent yet in the part, Kenzō came incredibly close to killing Jolyne and F.F., and the Green Baby caused Jolyne and Pucci to engage in no-holds-barred ChainedHeat, but in between Kenzō and the Green Baby is Yo-Yo Ma, who mainly exists to provide comedic relief and not much else, similar to [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders ZZ and Wheel of Fortune]]. |
| 144 | * BrickJoke: Way back in ''Diamond is Unbreakable'', Rohan explains that he has a system where he can send in a complete manga manuscript in four hours. When [[spoiler:Pucci starts speeding up time]], it's shown that he's the only mangaka who can make the deadlines. |
| 145 | * TheBusCameBack: A lampshaded aversion. When The Sons of DIO start being dragged by destiny towards Pucci, the manga has a page explaining this and explicitly wondering why [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Giorno Giovanna]] hasn't shown up. |
| 146 | * CallBack: |
| 147 | ** When Jolyne attempts to track Pucci's movements while he has Made In Heaven, she sets up a bunch of {{trip|trap}}wires using Stone Free's string, just like what Kakyoin did with Hierophant Green against DIO at the end of ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]''. And just like the Hierophant Barrier, Pucci [[NoSell No-Sells]] Jolyne's trap. |
| 148 | ** Pucci uses a knife storm to [[spoiler:kill Jotaro]] in Chapter 154. Now, remember that he was friends with DIO... |
| 149 | ** Jotaro [[spoiler:dies in the exact same manner as [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Thoth]] predicted, with [[DiagonalCut his head getting split open]]]]. |
| 150 | ** The ''Stone Ocean'' anime's second opening, "Heaven's falling down", contains a lot of references to "Sono Chi no Sadame", the anime's very first opening. [[spoiler:The references become more overt in the EvolvingCredits for the final episode, where the opening sequence literally plays the first moments of that opening in sequence, ending with Jolyne instead of starting with her, and having Jolyne and Pucci battle in the now-crumbling Joestar mansion.]] |
| 151 | ** The last episode uses [[spoiler:"Roundabout" as its ending, the same song used in the first season]]. |
| 152 | * CallForward: The clouds in the anime adaptation's ED are drawn exactly like the [[https://i.redd.it/usi0wug5ezz51.jpg clouds]] at the end of ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Steel Ball Run]]''. |
| 153 | * TheCameo: The mother of all cameos happens when Ungalo's Bohemian Rhapsody gives life to every fictional character in ''existence''. |
| 154 | ** First every fairy tale character come to life and Weather Report is conversing with [[Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio Pinocchio]] and [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs the Seven Dwarfs]], said Dwarfs even give a ShoutOut to the [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} T-1000]] and [[Franchise/StarWars Chewbacca]]. |
| 155 | ** Italians witness every work of art come to life, notably Creator/SandroBotticelli's [[Art/{{The Birth of Venus|Botticelli}} Venus]]. Unfortunately, no-one can record this because she keeps getting out of the videotapes. |
| 156 | ** Anime/MazingerZ appears flying in the sky alongside Anime/{{Gigantor}} and Anime/AstroBoy. |
| 157 | ** A bystander is seen trying to shake hands with ComicBook/SpiderMan. The anime changes this to ComicBook/{{Batman}}. |
| 158 | ** News reports are witnessing [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Raoh]] wasting Tokyo before Kenshiro arrests him. |
| 159 | ** The stick figure from every traffic signs comes to life dragging Ungalo out of the police's view. |
| 160 | ** Mother Goat from ''Literature/TheWolfAndTheSevenYoungKids'' tries to [[CruelAndUnusualDeath cut Anasui's stomach open and fill it with rocks]]. |
| 161 | ** Creator/VincentVanGogh is chatting with Weather Report, however, Weather is forced to reenact Van Gogh's suicide. |
| 162 | ** Defied with WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse, the RunningGag being Anasui wondering where the hell he is. The anime averts this entirely. |
| 163 | * CarnivalOfKillers: Pucci uses a shockingly diverse crew of inmates to whom he gives Stands in order to assassinate Jolyne. |
| 164 | * CastingGag: |
| 165 | ** Unlike [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind the previous installment]], this time, the trope for the part's [=JoJo=] is {{averted|trope}}. [[Creator/FairouzAi Jolyne's VA in the anime does not have "Ono" for her surname.]] |
| 166 | ** In both the [[Creator/FairouzAi Japanese]] and [[Creator/KiraBuckland English]] dubs, Jolyne is voiced by a PromotedFangirl who identifies with her and had been attempting to audition for her role via practice for years. |
| 167 | ** Creator/TakehitoKoyasu and Creator/TomokazuSeki are famously both members of the Anime/WeissKreuz voice actor quartet, which led to them becoming some of the most prolific voice actors in all anime. Here, Koyasu as DIO is reunited with Seki as his most loyal follower, Enrico Pucci. |
| 168 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven Eyes of Heaven]]'' and the anime, Pucci is voided by Creator/JojiNakata and Creator/TomokazuSeki respectively, who are well-known for voicing the BigBadDuumvirate from the ''Franchise/{{Fate|Series}}'' series, [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Kirei Kotomine]] and [[Literature/FateZero Gilgamesh]]. |
| 169 | ** Romeo Jisso, who gets Jolyne {{frame|up}}d for a hit-and-run, is voiced by Creator/GakutoKajiwara, who also played Narancia's friend from ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'' that similarly got Narancia arrested for his own crime. |
| 170 | ** Viviano Westwood in the English dub is voiced by Creator/JohnEricBentley, seemingly due to the fact that Planet Waves has the ability to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake summon meteors]]. |
| 171 | ** Kenzō and Dragon's Dream are voiced in Japanese by [[Creator/{{Mugihito}} two]] different veteran [[Creator/{{Cho}} voice actors]] respectively who are both known for going by one-name aliases. |
| 172 | ** This is the [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders second time]] that Creator/IkueOtani has been cast in the series as a [[EnfantTerrible Stand-wielding baby]]. |
| 173 | ** In the English dub, Ungalo is voiced by Creator/ToddHaberkorn, who had previously voiced Dio's GangOfBullies back in ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]'', and is now voicing one of DIO's children. |
| 174 | * CaughtWithYourPantsDown: '''The very first scene''' of ''Stone Ocean'' has Jolyne complaining that a prison guard saw her masturbating. |
| 175 | * CelestialDeadline: Once [[spoiler:Pucci fuses with the Green Baby]], Jolyne has to stop him from [[spoiler:completing his Stand]] before the New Moon. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] as Pucci pulls it off 2 days early by simply recreating the gravitational conditions during a New Moon]]. |
| 176 | * CentralTheme: Coincidences and people coming together as if it's destiny. Gravity is used as a metaphor for this all the time. [[spoiler:It's why Pucci's sister fell in love with the guy who was actually her long-lost brother.]] |
| 177 | * ChainedHeat: The first battle between Jolyne and Pucci has them handcuffed together by Stone Free as Jolyne takes on Pucci to finish him off and retrieve Jotaro's disc. [[spoiler:Jolyne is forced to undo the cuffs after Pucci gives her a SadisticChoice to either kill him or let Anasui and her only chance of reviving Jotaro die instead]]. |
| 178 | * ContinuityNod: |
| 179 | ** During [[spoiler:Made In Heaven's constant acceleration of time]], a manga artist is unable to make his deadline. His editor tells him that [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Rohan Kishibe]] is still able to make the deadline. |
| 180 | ** In the anime, the manga Yo-Yo Ma gives to Jolyne is a copy of ''Pink Dark Boy'', the in-universe manga by Rohan Kishibe. |
| 181 | * CoolBoat: Jotaro uses a submarine provided by the Speedwagon Foundation to help Jolyne escape prison. Extraordinary circumstances lead to Jotaro being the only one to leave the prison. |
| 182 | * CombatPragmatist: Near the end of the C-Moon fight, Pucci finds himself unable to land the final blow on Jolyne with his Stand. In response, he pulls the body of a nearby security guard towards him using his [[spoiler:Stand's gravity ability]], pulls the handgun out of their holster, and opts to simply shoot Jolyne instead. |
| 183 | * ConvenientComa: At the beginning of the part, Whitesnake steals Jotaro's memories and Stands, putting him in a deep coma so he is effectively PutOnABus, and giving Jolyne the "opportunity" to try to save her father and solve the mystery of Whitesnake's hidden user. |
| 184 | * CreditsMontage: The credits of the final episode of the anime consist of a montage of stylized silhouettes depicting [[CallBack moments from all previous parts]], [[spoiler:again set to [[{{Music/Yes}} "Roundabout"]]]]. |
| 185 | [[/folder]] |
| 186 | |
| 187 | [[folder:D - O]] |
| 188 | * DarkerAndEdgier: The part takes place for a majority of its run in a prison facility where systemic corruption and violence is prominent with its aggressive prisoners. The abilities are much more creatively surreal, with suicide attempts, organ harvesting, etc made prominent powers. Additionally, there is a greater plot with the intent on [[spoiler:ending the universe in order to restart it, with [[AnyoneCanDie 90% of the main cast dying during the process]] of this occurring.]] |
| 189 | * DeadlyGas: [[spoiler:Oxygen]], of all things, [[spoiler:is ultimately what defeats Pucci.]] |
| 190 | * DeathbringerTheAdorable: The so-called "Savage Garden" tasked to retrieve Jotaro's Stand disc from Jolyne... turns out to be a small, white messenger pigeon. Made even sillier in the English anime adaptation, where its name is changed to the more menacing sounding ''Savage Guardian''. |
| 191 | * DistantFinale: It's been almost 150 years since the events of ''Phantom Blood'' at this point and almost 100 since ''Battle Tendency''. |
| 192 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Sports Maxx is a mob boss and unrepentant murderer who even killed an innocent woman for witnessing one of his hits, but is ultimately arrested for racketeering and given a rather lenient sentence. Comparisons to any number of powerful people who did heinous things but were ultimately arrested for financial reasons and/or given light sentences (most notably UsefulNotes/AlCapone) can apply. |
| 193 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:A few of the characters killed by Pucci before, and during, the "Made In Heaven" arc suffer this fate. As Weather Report was killed earlier, Ermes has her arms cut off and bleeds to death with no fanfare, and Jotaro himself nearly ends up being a straight example of this trope after protecting Jolyne, only being a subversion because of Jolyne's HeroicSacrifice afterwards to ensure Emporio's survival to go and defeat Pucci]]. |
| 194 | * EndOfAnAge: ''Stone Ocean'' is the last hurrah of the original ''[=JoJo=]'' continuity. |
| 195 | * EpisodeOfTheDead: The "Kiss of Love & Revenge" arc has the heroes going up against Sports Maxx, whose Stand, Limp Bizkit, can resurrect things as invisible zombies, [[spoiler:including Sports Maxx himself]]. |
| 196 | * EverybodyDiesEnding: [[spoiler:The ultimate demise of Jolyne and her companions after Pucci unlocks Made In Heaven. Emporio is the only survivor, however.]] |
| 197 | * ExplosiveLeash: When the Green Dolphin Street Prison guards organize a searching party for two disappeared prisoners, they give the volunteers "Like a Virgin" bracelets that will violently explode if it's damaged or if the volunteers are too far away from the supervisor, so they don't get any idea of escaping. Foo Fighters exploits the fact that they cannot get too far from the supervisor to kill both Jolyne and Ermes, by dragging his corpse away. |
| 198 | * EvilPlan: Prior to ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'', DIO found the means to obtain "Heaven" by [[spoiler:remaking the universe into his own twisted vision of "Heaven". A "Heaven" where all will worship him]], and wrote the process in his personal diary, which would be carried out by Enrico Pucci after he stole Jotaro's memories of the diary. |
| 199 | * FacelessMasses: In the anime, some scenes portray background characters as solid white cutouts. |
| 200 | * FakeInteractivity: During [[spoiler:Weather Report's backstory]], the {{Narrator}} takes a brief moment to [[BreakingTheFourthWall break the fourth wall]], asking the readers/viewers to judge the events that have transpired for themselves, and ask themselves who in the story has committed an actual sin, giving the choice between [[spoiler:the woman who swapped Wes out at birth, Pucci's parents, Pucci, or Wes]]. |
| 201 | * FailedFutureForecast: At the beginning of the Bohemian Rhapsody arc, Anasui and Weather Report drive by a billboard advertising Disney's MGM Studios park. The chapter in question was written in 2002 when that was indeed the park's name, but takes place in 2012, at which point the park had been renamed Disney Hollywood Studios. |
| 202 | * FanDisservice: In the memory of the crash of Flight 2882 revived by Under World, a SexyStewardess unbuttons her blouse... to reveal a passenger's head lodged in her stomach. And then she and the other passengers start to have their skin burned off. |
| 203 | * {{Fanservice}}: Directly {{invoked|trope}} by Jolyne upon first arriving in Green Dolphin Street Prison. Upon being told to undress so that the guards can do a strip search, she gets naked, drops to the floor, and [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl starts posing]]. While the strip search was significantly trimmed down in the anime, the shot of Jolyne's butt and her doing bridge position are still kept intact. |
| 204 | * FiveSecondForeshadowing: While it's not shown in the manga, in the anime, while Emporio is riding on a dolphin, there are [[FreezeFrameBonus a few frames]] where [[spoiler:Weather Report's Stand disc can be seen pressed up against him, hinting at it [[ChekhovsGun being used to defeat Pucci]] in the final confrontation not long after]]. |
| 205 | * FlippingTheBird: Jolyne can do the American, French, Japanese, and Italian (specifically Naples) ways of flipping someone off. |
| 206 | * GoingCommando: Jolyne sometimes forgets to wear her panties. |
| 207 | * GoryDiscretionShot: Notable since it's such a rarity for this series. [[spoiler:When Jolyne lets Emporio escape without her so she has a chance to stop Pucci, all we see of her death is a panel with Stone Free's arms (with blood trails) and Stone Free's sunglasses flying through the air. While we don't get to see it, it's not difficult to imagine that Pucci tore her body apart with Made In Heaven.]] |
| 208 | * GrandFinale: Because the next part, ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Steel Ball Run]]'', takes place in an entirely new continuity, ''Stone Ocean'' is the final entry of the original ''[=JoJo=]'' continuity as it has been from day one. |
| 209 | * GratuitousEnglish: The anime's first opening theme includes multiple lines and a verse in English. |
| 210 | -->''Get away from (Stone Ocean!)''\ |
| 211 | ''I don’t wanna say (There’s no chance!)''\ |
| 212 | ''Let's get started, count (One-two-three!)''\ |
| 213 | ''Take me far away (Fly, Stone Free!)'' |
| 214 | * GreatEscape: Following [[spoiler:Pucci absorbing the Green Baby and him heading towards Cape Canaveral to finalize the method of obtaining 'Heaven']], Jolyne and her allies begin their escape from Green Dolphin to stop Pucci before the next new moon. |
| 215 | * GreaterScopeVillain: DIO is this to this Part, as it's only due to his influence that [[spoiler:Pucci was corrupted and decided to take up his "Heaven" plan to avenge him and kill the Joestars]]. |
| 216 | * GroinAttack: Westwood has trapped Jolyne with a headlock, and Jolyne tries to reach for Westwood's testicles to crush them. However, Westwood simply changes his position to escape this attack. |
| 217 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: At the final battle, Pucci reveals a side-effect of [[spoiler:Made In Heaven--namely, anyone who has died does not have their soul transferred over to the new universe that Made In Heaven creates]]. Pucci exploits this to prevent Jotaro, Jolyne, and the other main cast members from stopping him [[spoiler:after the new universe's creation]], but as it turns out this side-effect also goes the other way around. [[spoiler:When Emporio kills Pucci and the Made In Heaven-verse collapses, the old universe is brought back (as it had avoided being completely overwritten before Pucci died)... but Pucci's soul is still in the Made In Heaven-verse, meaning he doesn't return with Emporio and [[RetGone is instead completely erased from existence]]. Additionally, without Pucci around, the events of Part 6 never happen, and since the heroes' souls are still around in the old universe they get to be brought back, as Pucci couldn't have killed them if he didn't exist]]. In short, not only did Pucci [[spoiler:wipe himself from existence with his own Stand's powers, but by trying to do the same to the main cast, he instead preserved their souls and allowed them to be saved]]. |
| 218 | * HollywoodGeography: Both manga and anime mention that the Cape Canaveral Space Centre is 10 hours away from Orlando. In real life, it's little over an hour by car (53.2 miles, or 85.6 km). Maybe Jolyne and co. found really heavy traffic that day? |
| 219 | * HopeSpot: At the end of ''Stone Ocean'', Pucci is surrounded by the heroes, and it looks like his plan will fail. [[spoiler:However, Pucci pulls out a DiabolusExMachina and unlocks the ultimate Stand Made In Heaven, then kills the near entirety of the party.]] |
| 220 | * HowWeGotHere: Episode 13 opens with Jolyne being tossed into the Green Dolphin Street Prison's Maximum Security Ward as part of a plan to search for something. This is followed by the lead up to this with her and Ermes' battle with Sports Maxx. |
| 221 | * IfWeGetThroughThis: Prior to the last battle, Anasui mentions making his marriage proposition to Jolyne after the fight, and is [[spoiler:the first to die to Made In Heaven.]] |
| 222 | * IncendiaryExponent: Jolyne sets herself on fire so her heat-sucking opponent cannot kill her. Interestingly, Rikiel does the same to prove himself and find a weakness for this move. |
| 223 | * InjuredSelfDrag: When F.F. is critically injured during a battle with Pucci, Weather Report uses his Stand to create a downpour to distract Pucci while F.F. drags herself away as she emits [[EveryoneKnowsMorse morse code]] with several rocks. |
| 224 | * InSpiteOfANail: [[spoiler:Despite whatever changes might've occurred in the reset universe, Jolyne's alternate counterpart Irene still ends up encountering and presumably befriending with the alternate counterparts of Jolyne's companions.]] |
| 225 | * InstantMessengerPigeon: Jolyne contacts the Speedwagon Foundation to ask for their assistance in retrieving Jotaro's Stand disc from her so they can revive him. To Pucci's surprise, it was actually a pigeon sent to retrieve the disc, not a person. The pigeon is somehow able to fly from the Speedwagon headquarters in another state to Green Dolphin Street Prison in Florida in only 20 minutes, even while going through a rain of poison dart frogs that Weather Report created. |
| 226 | * IronicEcho: |
| 227 | ** When a female prisoner swindles Jolyne out of $10 to use the telephone, she "promises" to pay her back later, while making it clear through cues that she isn't going to pay her back and might even get more money off of Jolyne. In retaliation, Jolyne camps out in the bathroom and laces the prisoner's coffee with nickel powder, causing her to [[PottyEmergency need to use it]]. She begs with Jolyne to let her in and promises to give the $10 back, but Jolyne refuses, going by the pretense that she'll be paid back later. |
| 228 | ** After Pucci finds [[spoiler:Perla's dead body]], a vision of DIO rings in his head, where he says the same thing that Jotaro told Josuke in ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'' after Ryohei's death. |
| 229 | --->'''DIO:''' Once a life has been taken away, it can never fully be given back. |
| 230 | ** When Pucci attains Made In Heaven, he says in a BadassBoast that he plans on giving his new Stand a name, directly mirroring how Jolyne told Gwess that she plans on giving her Stand a name in ''her'' BadassBoast. |
| 231 | * {{Irony}}: Pucci seeks to create his ideal vision of Heaven and wipe the Joestar bloodline from existence. [[spoiler:While he briefly succeeds at this using Made In Heaven, his death causes a ResetButton that ensures that not only is [[RetGone Pucci himself wiped from existence instead]], but because he no longer exists, the Part 6 cast ends up leading much happier lives -- in other words, ''the Joestars''' ideal vision of Heaven]]. |
| 232 | * LikeAGodToMe: Enrico Pucci, as he puts it, loves DIO as he loves God. (Bonus points for "Dio" meaning "God" in Italian) |
| 233 | * LittlestCancerPatient: During Jolyne and Ermes' fight against Under World, they are trapped in a past plane crash and will die unless they take the seats of the two survivors. Donatello tosses several sick children in the seats to force Jolyne to make a SadisticChoice but she chooses to TakeAThirdOption. |
| 234 | * LossOfIdentity: [[spoiler:F.F. discusses it when Jolyne tries to get their Stand disc before they die, saying that they'd be alive physically but be too different to truly call themself Foo Fighters.]] It gets shown again in [[spoiler:the ending, where every member of the main cast bar Emporio and ''maybe'' Jotaro has lived a significantly different life due to the ResetButton, making them biologically the same but significantly different nonetheless]]. |
| 235 | * LostInTranslation: Jolyne names her Stand "Stone Free" after her goal to escape the prison she was in, Stone Ocean. Because of copyright issues, she names her Stand after the prison itself in all localizations. Oh... kay? |
| 236 | * MayanDoomsday: [[spoiler:While the month is off (March 21 as opposed to December 21), the universe is reset in the year 2012.]] |
| 237 | * MentalShutdown: Happens to Jotaro after Whitesnake takes away his memory and stand disks. He's kept alive by the Speedwagon foundation, but in a comatose state where his body is doing none of the unconscious work to live. |
| 238 | * MeteorSummoningAttack: Viviano Westwood is a minor antagonist whose Stand, Planet Waves, creates a meteor shower around him. He himself is not harmed by the meteors as they instantly disintegrate if they get too close to him. |
| 239 | * MoodWhiplash: Coupled with BlackComedy. In the manga, as [[spoiler:the effects of Made In Heaven are shown around the planet]], it cuts to a family mourning the death of a loved one in a hospital. Which is immediately followed by them rushing out of the room in disgust as the deceased body rapidly decays into a [[WiltingOdor terrible stench]]. |
| 240 | * MoreDespicableMinion: Pucci is a WellIntentionedExtremist, but Donatello is [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]], ruthless, and power hungry, just like his father. He [[TheStarscream betrays Pucci]] and is willing to do anything for power, including trying to [[WouldHurtAChild kill children]]. |
| 241 | * MoreDiverseSequel: After five parts of mostly male characters, ''Stone Ocean'' has a more gender-balanced cast, with a very high concentration of {{Action Girl}}s, its lead Jolyne being the first female [=JoJo=], and two other major characters with an AmbiguousGenderIdentity, one of whom uses "they/them" pronouns in the anime's dub. |
| 242 | * TheMountainsOfIllinois: In both the manga and anime, but especially notable in the anime, the final shot shows distinctive hills around Port St. Lucie, Florida (though referred to in the anime as "Orlan"). It's ''very'' well-known that Florida is the flattest U.S. state, and most of the previous landscape shots have reflected this. It's unclear whether this is merely an error or hinting that the [[spoiler:universe reset [[ForWantOfANail somehow altered geography]], although this clashes with what we know about how the reset works]]. |
| 243 | * NakedPeopleAreFunny: When [[spoiler:Made In Heaven resets the universe]], because clothes are not living material, everyone ends up being NakedOnArrival. A security guard at Green Dolphin Street Prison realizes his naked body is on the security camera, and proceeds to [[HandOrObjectUnderwear cover his genitals with his hands]]. |
| 244 | * NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:Once Pucci succeeds in turning his Stand into Made In Heaven, he creates a universe where the Joestar family ceased thanks to DIO killing Jonathan. However, Pucci does not get to enjoy it for long as he, along with the universe he created, is erased after he is killed by Emporio and Weather Report.]] |
| 245 | * NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Thanks to Sports Maxx's Stand, Jolyne, Ermes, and F.F. end up having to deal with an [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot invisible alligator zombie]] -- an encounter which cemented their eternal hatred for alligators in general. |
| 246 | -->'''Ermes:''' They think they're so goddamn safe 'cause they're federally protected, but they scared the ''crap'' out of us back in prison! |
| 247 | * NeverTrustATrailer: In the fourth PV that hints at Pucci's existence through his foot stepping through the courtyard gate, an AmbiguouslyBrown hand is seen reaching for a disc, implying that it's Pucci reaching for a disc he dropped after extracting it with Whitesnake. In actuality, the brown arm belongs to [[LatinoIsBrown Ermes]], who is reaching for Thunder [=McQueen=]'s Stand disc following his defeat. |
| 248 | * NoDressCode: Apparently, there are no uniforms in Green Dolphin Street Prison, because everyone's outfits are about as outrageous as you'd expect ''[=JoJo=]'' characters to be wearing. |
| 249 | * NoIAmBehindYou: When [[spoiler:Pucci acquires Made In Heaven]], he becomes fond of appearing behind the protagonists with his insane speed. |
| 250 | * NumerologicalMotif: As Pucci is making his way towards Cape Canaveral, he comes across numerous signs pertaining to the number 3. After arriving at a nearby hospital where three men are brought in at once with one of their belongings moving towards them, seeing three shooting stars makes Pucci realize they're the sons of DIO. |
| 251 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: The group's GreatEscape from Green Dolphin Street Prison happens entirely offscreen. Though Jolyne, Ermes, and Emporio likely used Miumiu's [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Stand ability]] to slip out, how Weather Report and Anasui escaped shortly after wasn't elaborated much. |
| 252 | * OnlyInFlorida: Being a ''[=JoJo=]'' story set in the Sunshine State, Part 6 lives and breathes this trope. For only Florida could play host to events such as a prison escape with invisible zombies, fictional characters coming to life, "rods" capable of absorbing body heat being weaponized, and ''rainbows that turn people into snails via subliminal messaging''. |
| 253 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:During the final episode, the last member of the team alive is Emporio. All the poor boy can do is scream, cry and run away from his pursuer Pucci like he's always done- right up until he tricks Pucci into inserting the Weather Report Stand disc into his forehead, whereupon he glares coldly at Pucci and reveals he was merely acting scared to get Pucci to let his guard down. What follows next is a brutal beatdown at the hands of Weather Report, all the while Emporio looks on, glowering with rage. This is shocking from Emporio, who has spent most of the Part so far being somewhat of a skittish TheLoad, and shows that Jolynes determination rubbed off on him.]] |
| 254 | * OurHomunculiAreDifferent: [[spoiler:The Green Baby is a homunculus of DIO, created through the combination of various Stand abilities integrated into one of DIO's bones. It is part of Pucci's plan to obtain Made In Heaven by fusing with the Green Baby and evolving his Stand further upon the night of a New Moon.]] |
| 255 | * OurZombiesAreDifferent: Sports Maxx's Limp Bizkit. Not only does it bring back the dead as zombies, they also become ''invisible''. |
| 256 | [[/folder]] |
| 257 | |
| 258 | [[folder:P - W]] |
| 259 | * ParentalMarriageVeto: After making a RunningGag out of pursuing Jolyne's hand in marriage, Anasui finally meets Jotaro and asks him for permission to marry Jolyne. Except he makes the mistake of asking [[spoiler:on the brink of a [[SkewedPriorities universal apocalypse]]]]. Jotaro reacts about as well as one would expect. |
| 260 | -->'''Jotaro:''' Are you insane? |
| 261 | * PartyScattering: [[spoiler:During Jolyne's improvised escape from the prison, she only manages to bring Ermes and Emporio along with her due to the male and female wards being separated[[note]]Emporio's ghost room is situated within the female ward[[/note]]. Thus, Weather and Anasui end up escaping separately and have to catch up on their own. This leads to both groups separately fending off two of DIO's sons individually, as well as Jolyne's side dealing with the last son Donatello simultaneously with Weather and Anasui trying to go for Pucci himself.]] |
| 262 | * {{Permafusion}}: The climax of both the story and [[spoiler:Pucci's plan involves merging his Stand, Whitesnake, with the Green Baby, causing it to turn into C-Moon, which can then be used during a certain festival to further evolve into Made in Heaven, allowing Pucci to essentially reset the universe.]] |
| 263 | * PetTheDog: After Jolyne is sent to the infirmary ward after her second failed escape attempt, Green Dolphin Street Prison security surprisingly pardoned it. Though, they probably figured [[spoiler:nearly dying from 2 gunshot wounds and a storm of poisonous frogs]] was punishment enough. |
| 264 | * PointyEars: For some reason several side characters have noticeably pointed ears. |
| 265 | * PottyEmergency: During the fight with Lang Rangler, Jolyne ends up having a case of this as a result of Rangler's Stand zero-gravity ability. Weather Report offers to give her privacy while he uses his Stand to absorb the urine just as he had done with his. |
| 266 | * PowersAsPrograms: Part of the ability of Pucci's Whitesnake involves the ability to extract Stands and transfer them between individuals. |
| 267 | * PrecisionFStrike: As of this part, thanks in part to more lax regulations on Netflix than Toonami, the English dub has transitioned into using the actual word "fuck". |
| 268 | ** When Gwess tries to charge Jolyne additional money to get the amulet, she exclaims, "Shut the fuck up, you bitch! Just tell me the name before I kill you!" |
| 269 | ** Ermes' thoughts when Sports Maxx is only sentenced to five years for, "tax evasion and grievous bodily injury," instead of being convicted for the murder of her sister Gloria are, "Only five years? Thats all he fucking gets?!", and then exclaims at him, "Hey, you son of a bitch! I'm not fucking finished with you yet!", before being restrained by the guards. |
| 270 | ** Pucci, who is generally [[GoshDarnItToHeck much more conservative with his language]] compared to [[SirSwearsALot the heroes]], exclaims "Damn it all!" [[spoiler:after discovering his sister Perla's dead body after she had [[DrivenToSuicide thrown herself off a cliff]] after Weather was lynched and supposedly killed by a Klan mob he had hired to simply break off Weather and Perla's relationship.]] |
| 271 | * ProductDisplacement: The Netflix airing of the anime removes the Chicago Cubs logo from Emporio's baseball jersey, replacing it with a plain blue circle -- although this was later changed in late December 2021. Curiously enough, this is averted with Ermes' Stand, Kiss, which is renamed to "Smack" but still keeps the name "KISS" spelled out on its torso.[[note]]Even weirder is the fact that in the previous season, ''Golden Wind'', the scene where Notorious B.I.G introduces itself was visually altered to spell out "Notorious Chase", to keep it in line with the name change.[[/note]] |
| 272 | * PsychicLink: The psychic bond shared by the Joestar bloodline is a major plot point here. [[spoiler:When Pucci's Stand absorbs the Green Baby, which was born from one of Jonathan Joestar's bones, it causes him and his brother Weather Report to join this familial connection. This means that the heroes can know roughly where the villain of the story is, as well as the sons of DIO when they show up. But this also goes the other way around, and Pucci can use this to track the heroes too, up to using this to tell where Weather Report is while blinded.]] Also, while Jotaro is in a coma, he subconsciously carves Jolyne's name into his arm, which [[{{Synchronization}} causes Jolyne to receive the same scar]], letting her know that [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou she really does mean a lot to her father despite him being absent for most of her life]]. |
| 273 | * PyrrhicVictory: The very embodiment of it. Even with Pucci's humiliating and gruesome demise at the hands of Emporio, it's hardly worth it. Pucci already killed everyone we cared about and destroyed the original timeline, leaving the Prison Gang (sans FF) to reincarnate as different people with different lives. And while they do finally get their happy endings, poor little Emporio, being the sole survivor of the original timeline, has to remember all of the horrors he endured, including watching friends and everything he's ever known die. |
| 274 | * RaceAgainstTheClock: This is the main climax for ''Stone Ocean'', the heroes have to stop Pucci before the next New Moon. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Pucci figures out he doesn't actually need the New Moon; he only needs to recreate the gravitational conditions that the New Moon brings, meaning he gets Made In Heaven two days early.]] |
| 275 | * RaceLift: In the colored manga, both of Pucci's parents have Caucasian skin, which contrasts how Pucci himself is AmbiguouslyBrown. In the anime adaptation, however, Pucci's father is given the exact same dark skin that Pucci himself has. |
| 276 | * RainOfSomethingUnusual: In order to save Jolyne during the Operation Savage Garden arc, Weather Report manifests wind patterns that causes thousands and thousands of ''poison dart frogs'' to rain down from above. This completely subdues the prison guard tasked to kill Jolyne, and almost buries Pucci alive thanks to him losing his card key and being trapped in the chaos. Jolyne herself managed to survive by shielding her body with a cloth made of Stone Free's threads. |
| 277 | * RecurringExtra: A certain black inmate seems to be present whenever Jolyne learns something new about the prison to explain it in detail. |
| 278 | * RememberTheNewGuy: An anime-only example regarding Ermes. As Weather Report and Anasui are now first introduced at the start of the Jumpin' Jack Flash fight instead of in the middle of the Highway to Hell fight, Ermes is no longer formally introduced to them, yet she already seems to be acquainted with both of them by the time that they meet up during the Heavy Weather arc. The only time she could have met them in the anime is in F.F.'s brief flashback about Jolyne making fun of their toes, but it's not established when it occurred, nor is Ermes shown interacting with Weather or Anasui. |
| 279 | * ResetButtonEnding: [[spoiler:A twofold example. Made In Heaven does it to the original universe, but Pucci's death and subsequent erasure from existence not only does this again ''to the first reset'', but it ''also'' undoes Part 6 as a whole, as the resulting universe has to take into account Pucci's non-existence]]. |
| 280 | * {{Retcon}}: |
| 281 | ** DIO's motivations are a DownplayedTrope. In ''Stardust Crusaders'', DIO was an OrcusOnHisThrone, who wanted to kill the Joestars, who he felt were an obstacle to his fate as the emperor of the world; wanted to suck their blood to make Jonathan's body obey him, and increase the powers of his stand. DIO, for the most part, was a straight-up megalomaniac hiding under a suave personality, who simply appeared of wanting the power to rule supreme. Pucci's flashbacks, however, show a more philosophical DIO, who talks about the meaning of happiness and the search for "Heaven", even stating that simple power or money wouldn't give him the happiness he so desires. The reason this is a DownplayedTrope is that these scenes are based on minor scenes from Part 3, and feel more like an expansion of the suave manipulator. |
| 282 | ** Played straight with DIO's diary, where it shows Jotaro burning it at some point after DIO's death, but is never mentioned once in Jotaro's appearances between then and Part 6. |
| 283 | ** Originally, Part 3 took place in the winter of 1987-1988, but Part 6 changes the date to the winter of 1988-1989. This creates a minor plot hole in that the birthdates of Jotaro Kujo, Holy Kujo, and Josuke Higashikata (respectively aged 17, 45, and 4 at the time of Part 3) are not changed to reflect the change in Part 3's date[[note]]None of the other characters' birthdates are changed, meaning they would also be a year older, but these three are the only ones whose ages at the time of Part 3 were directly specified[[/note]], which would make them a year older than stated. No other Part's date is changed, interestingly enough. |
| 284 | * RetGone: In the end, [[spoiler:this was the fate of Jotaro and Jolyne -- and, presumably, Weather, Ermes, Anasui, and Donatello Versus -- when [[BigBad Pucci]] accelerates time and resets reality. This is because you only get to stick around if your spirit is still there. Dead = no spirit to exist for any time in the new universe = causality/history-altering to compensate for that. However, when Pucci is killed, the reset effect snaps back, and [[BackFromTheDead all his victims are restored]], albeit with their lives considerably improved. Probably because reality has to take into account the fact that ''Pucci himself'' has been hit with RetGone now (because of the exact same reasons as his victims). Played somewhat straight for F.F., however, as they do not seem to have been restored in the ending (which is likely because Pucci, the person who gave them life, no longer exists). The anime keeps this rather ambiguous as unlike the manga, F.F. does show up in the final shot of the party together]]. |
| 285 | * ReusedCharacterDesign: In the scene where Jolyne gets her dollar back from the blonde inmate in the reading room, one of the female inmates looks like Bruno Bucciarati from Part 5, minus the hairclips. |
| 286 | * SaveTheWorldClimax: [[spoiler:In the final segments of the story, the heroes actively rush to defeat Pucci before he can acquire Made In Heaven, which will allow him to remake the entire universe in the way DIO envisioned.]] |
| 287 | * SelfHarmInducedSuperpower: One of the Stands Pucci keeps as a disk is Highway To Hell that allows its user to attack opponents by injuring themselves. The Stand's recipient, Thunder [=McQueen=], then tries to kill himself, thus taking down his target with him. |
| 288 | * SensorCharacter: After Pucci [[spoiler:absorbs the Green Baby]], the after-effect causes himself, Jolyne, and [[spoiler:Weather Report]] to be able to sense each other's location. |
| 289 | * TheSevenMysteries: PlayedForLaughs with the Seven Mysteries of Green Dolphin Prison. None of them relate to the prison's actual mysteries and none of them are all that mysterious; they're just a way the inmates complain about the workings of the prison. One such mystery is how the last inmates to arrive at meal times will find no food left, even though there should be enough for everyone; immediately, it's shown that this is because some inmates take seconds. |
| 290 | * ShoeSlap: How Jolyne manages to defeat Viviano Westwood. Using Stone Free, Jolyne snatches Westwood's boot, stuffs it with a brick, and uses it to block the oncoming meteor summoned by Planet Waves. She does get hurt by it; however, the force of the meteor propels the boot forward into Westwood's face, causing him to be stunned long enough for Jolyne to incapacitate him with a headbutt. |
| 291 | * ShownTheirWork: [[spoiler:Emporio kills Pucci by using Weather Report to increase the concentration of oxygen around Pucci, paralyzing and fatally poisoning him. Pure oxygen really ''is'' highly dangerous to the human body because it overwhelms the body's ability to process it -- it's worth noting that regular Earth air is only 21% oxygen.]] |
| 292 | * SingleStrokeBattle: In the anime, in the second "Heavy Weather" episode, the flashback fight between [[spoiler:Pucci and Weather]] is portrayed as such; both summon their Stands and dash past each other, followed by [[spoiler:Weather's head splitting open from Whitesnake's ability, causing his Memory disc to emerge]]. |
| 293 | * SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Pucci appears nowhere in any promotional materials for the anime, not even in the trailer, despite being the main villain and one of the most recognizable characters from the part, even for anime-only viewers. This was presumably to preserve his villain reveal. |
| 294 | * SoundtrackDissonance: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zizagged]], given that this is a manga without any background tracks, but [[spoiler:the final chapter]] is called "What a Wonderful World", a song infamously used to highlight the CrapsackWorld we live in. Even through something as indirect as a [[spoiler:chapter title]], ''Stone Ocean'' still sticks to this trope. [[spoiler:The chapter involves Pucci succeeding at restarting the universe and killing all but one of the main protagonists, and while Emporio ''does'' manage to kill him and undo all of Pucci's work, this still doesn't stop the universe from resetting once more. Sure, the main characters [[RetGone (sans F.F.)]] [[SubvertedTrope are alive once more and live considerably better lives]], but none of them recognize Emporio, which leaves him [[DoubleSubversion completely]] [[BreakTheCutie heartbroken]].]] |
| 295 | * SpeedBlitz: [[spoiler:Made In Heaven, which accelerates the flow of time leaving anyone but Pucci lagging behind, allows Pucci to act so rapidly even Jotaro's time stop is just not enough.]] |
| 296 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: When the ''JOJOVELLER'' art book was released in 2013, the cast of ''Stone Ocean'' was hit hardest with the new official English spellings of all their names, as fan translations simply kept all the original spellings of the ThemeNaming of fashion brands; some examples: Guess to Gwess, D&G to D an G, and Hermes to Ermes. But most baffling was that the fans chose to name the heroine "Jolyne Kujo", sticking with how Jotaro's surname was written in previous books, when even in the original Japanese printing her surname was written exclusively as "Cujoh" in the splash page for chapter 2. |
| 297 | * SpinningClockHands: [[spoiler:Upon Made In Heaven's awakening, clocks all over the planet begin rapidly spinning faster. As time acceleration goes further, the movement of the clock hands are sped up so immensely, they can no longer be seen by anyone]]. |
| 298 | * TheStinger: |
| 299 | ** Episode 5 has Johngalli A. congratulating Whitesnake on their joint effort, before he was gunned down by the latter to preserve its user's secret identity. |
| 300 | ** Episode 12 ends with Whitesnake summoning the inmate Sports Maxx and asking him to try using his powers on DIO's bone. |
| 301 | * StopOrIWillShoot: Security guards in Green Dolphin Street Prison are particularly zealous about shooting prisoners wandering where they shouldn't be. They are however reasonable when the prisoner is clearly surrendering and are guarding a maximum security prison after all, so it's justified. |
| 302 | * TakeUpMySword: Emporio takes up Jolyne's duty to kill Pucci [[spoiler:after she pulls out a YouShallNotPass, using Weather Report's Stand against him]]. |
| 303 | * TalkingIsAFreeAction: In a [[ExaggeratedTrope particularly extreme example]], the final battle includes a sequence where Ermes uses Kiss to let the gang ride on a bullet. Anasui then manages to explain a strategy to defeat Pucci, go over multiple concerns that his allies have about said plan, ''and'' receive a heartfelt speech from Jolyne, all in the time it takes for the bullet to hit its target. |
| 304 | * ThematicSequelLogoChange: The anime logo's subtitle is crossed with string behind the butterfly seen on Jolyne's shirt, representing the power of her Stand, Stone Free. |
| 305 | * ThemeNaming: Most of the characters first introduced in this part are named after fashion brands or designers, such as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herm%C3%A8s Hermès]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narciso_Rodriguez Narciso Rodriguez]], and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_(clothing) Guess]]. |
| 306 | * UnskilledButStrong: The Sons of DIO in have powerful Stands, but have possessed them for a day at most. This causes their tactics to be very basic, leaving them open to more experienced Stand users. Rikiel, in particular, reveals himself to Jolyne and Ermes in what they immediately recognize as a ploy to get them to come closer to him. |
| 307 | * UpliftedAnimal: A recurring theme in ''[=JoJo=]'', the role is now taken up by Foo Fighters, a colony of sentient ''zooplankton'' with a Stand inhabiting the body of a dead woman. |
| 308 | * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: This is Enrico Pucci's motivation in ''Stone Ocean''. [[spoiler:His plan involves using the fusion of his Stand and a homunculus of DIO to accelerate time to the point where the cosmos undergoes both a Big Crunch and a Big Bang, and everything repeats as before, just without anyone who died during the acceleration. The utopia is supposed to come from the fact that those who got to live through the singularity will subconsciously remember everything that ever happened to them in the previous, ''identical'' cycle. This means that they will be imbued with a kind of fatalism, immensely dampening any shock, horror, agony, etc. that they would otherwise experience. Basically, Pucci's idea of "Heaven" is "a world without surprises".]] |
| 309 | * VillainOfTheWeek: Anyone who read ''Stardust Crusaders'' or ''Golden Wind'' knows the drill by now. |
| 310 | * WalkingWasteland: Heavy Weather can [[spoiler:hypnotize people into transforming into snails, said snail being able to transform other people by simple contact. Ensures a snail apocalypse that only Weather's death can really stop]]. |
| 311 | * WardensAreEvil: Downplayed, the wardens of Green Dolphin Street Prison are all assholes and abusive but aren't evil per se. |
| 312 | * WaxingLyrical: In the anime, Gwess mockingly sings [[Creator/DollyParton "Jolene"]] while carrying the shrunken Jolyne. |
| 313 | * WhamLine: |
| 314 | ** ''"The other twin's family live in a big mansion in the next town over. Pucci is the family's last name..."'' [[spoiler:This is what Mrs. Bluemarine tells Pucci in his backstory when explaining that she switched her dead child with Weather Report the day they were born. It's what causes Pucci to realize that his younger sister's new boyfriend is actually their brother, and what causes his StartOfDarkness.]] |
| 315 | ** [[spoiler: Pucci commits a near-TotalPartyKill amongst the protagonists, with only Emporio and Jolyne escaping by latching onto a dolphin. It seems like both of them will manage to get away from Pucci - then Jolyne drops this double whammy:]] |
| 316 | --->[[spoiler: '''Jolyne:''' [[IWillOnlySlowYouDown I know without a doubt that dolphin is gonna carry you somewhere safe and out of danger]].]]\ |
| 317 | [[spoiler: '''Emporio:''' Huh...?! What are you saying?! Hurry! You can still make it over to me!]]\ |
| 318 | [[spoiler: '''Jolyne:''' Emporio...[[LastStand I can't go with you]].]] |
| 319 | * WhereItAllBegan: [[spoiler:The final confrontation with Pucci ends back at Green Dolphin Street Prison, after he accelerated time far enough to have Emporio cornered to finish him off in his ghost room]]. |
| 320 | * WolverinePublicity: In the second episode batch of the anime adaptation, F.F. had [[spoiler:died during the final few episodes]], and as such, doesn't appear at all during the third batch. Despite this, they're still heavily featured in the advertising for the third episode batch alongside Jolyne's SignificantWardrobeShift and Pucci's PowerMakeover. |
| 321 | * WordSaladLyrics: The incantation Pucci uses [[spoiler:to merge his Stand with the Green Baby]]. |
| 322 | * TheWorfEffect: Pucci manages to pull this on [[TheAce Jotaro]] ''three'' separate times regarding [[TimeStandsStill Star Platinum: The World]]. |
| 323 | ** Through having Jotaro realize that Manhattan Transfer and Whitesnake are two completely different Stands, he pushes Jolyne out of the way and tries to punch Whitesnake, but because time resumed when Jolyne was pushed, it gave Whitesnake enough time to sneak up behind Jotaro, slash his face, and retrieve his Stand and Memory discs. |
| 324 | ** After [[TheBusCameBack returning]] to Florida, Jotaro stops time and tries to throw a javelin at Pucci, but because {{gravity|master}} is a concept that transcends all concept of time, C-Moon allows for Pucci to briefly MoveInTheFrozenTime and avoid being hit by the javelin. |
| 325 | ** While time is in the process of accelerating due to Made In Heaven, Jotaro tries one final time to use Star Platinum: The World in order to stop Pucci, but two things keep Jotaro from defeating him. One, the time acceleration also affects the time stop, shortening its duration from 5 seconds to 2 seconds. Two, Pucci had thrown a [[FlechetteStorm flurry of knives]] at Jolyne, forcing him to [[SadisticChoice decide between]] saving his daughter or stopping Pucci. Like with Whitesnake and Manhattan Transfer, Jotaro chooses to save Jolyne from the knives, and once time resumes, [[spoiler:the knives [[DiagonalCut slash at his face]], which ends up [[TheHeroDies killing Jotaro]] on the spot]]. |
