5	[[caption-width-right:350:How do DIO's minions ''always'' find a way to [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders make licking look absolutely disturbing]]?]]
6
7	Just when you thought ''[=JoJo=]'s Bizarre Adventure'''s [[NightmareFuel addiction to violence, surreally nightmarish imagery brought upon by inventive Stands, and being pursued by psychotic criminals]] couldn't get any worse, ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'' ramps up the ante by taking place in prison for the majority of the Part, [[AloneWithThePsycho meaning the heroes often live in the same place with criminals who have very realistic crimes, wishing to inflict those deeds onto them]]. Made all the worse by the fact that they [[SerialEscalation have more creatively inventive Stands than previous parts to use in their attempts to kill them in a variety of nightmarish ways]]. Additionally, this Part invokes ReligiousHorror with its SinisterMinister of a BigBad planning to bring forth the {{Apocalypse\|How}} based on the plans of the series' most infamous vampire.
8	----
9	* The crimes for which a lot of the inmates at Green Dolphin Street Prison were incarcerated are often [[RippedFromTheHeadlines all too reminiscent of real cases]]. Atroe (F.F.'s original body) kidnapped a child merely to fulfill a childhood fantasy. Kenzō founded a religious cult (its ranks including [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything some celebrities]]) and instigated a Jonestown/Heaven's Gate-esque mass suicide. [[TokenEvilTeammate Anasui]] caught his girlfriend in bed with another man and literally ''tore them both apart'' so they could "never come back together again".
10	** Narciso Anasui in general is terrifying. His background establishes him as a maniac and a full-blown {{yandere}} and his infatuation towards Jolyne is actually creepy, with him wanting to marry her after seeing her despite them having ''never talked before.'' His Stand Diver Down can "dive" into objects and people... then it can [[BodyHorror rearrange and warp the internal structure]]. The way he defeats Kenzō, although satisfying, was nightmarish. He warped the bastard's bones and flesh to turn his legs into springs, causing Kenzō to bounce around uncontrollably. One shudders to think just how far his {{yandere}} tendencies towards Jolyne would've gone if her father wasn't ''[[PapaWolf Jotaro]]''.
11	** Lang Ranger seems to be a regular stoic yet confident MonsterOfTheWeek until he reveals he's in prison for killing his professor by stabbing her 69 times, with the intent of continuing his crimes if he's released from prison.
12	* DIO's bone [[BodyHorror causing flowers to bloom out of people's bodies in a grotesque manner]]. And had she stayed in the sunlight, this would've happened to Jolyne, too.
13	** The way the concept is introduced is shown through [[NightmareFace the top right image]], but to elaborate, a short man who picked up DIO's bone undergoes an implied [[PainfulTransformation nauseating transformation]] in which his spine is elongated unnaturally longer than it should be, leading to the aforementioned [[TheReveal reveal that the face is morphing into a plant- with a plant stalk bursting out of his mouth]] with [[DerangedAnimation his left eye morphing into a flower in a surreal manner]] before his head bursts open before the transformation could get any worse and putting an end to his suffering.
14	*** [[GoMadFromTheRevelation The way this particular acts during the whole encounter is dissonantly creepy, going into weird gibberish about being warm and everyone being gathered- hinting at whatever happened- drove him insane just before he died]].
15	*** This proceeds into the sight of the plants growing out of the bodies of the deceased prisoners which by the end have completely metamorphosized into weird tree-like structures. It is the first indication of the unnatural nature of Pucci and DIO's plan.
16	* The Green Baby, the product of this surreally grotesque ritual, is a [[HumanoidAbomination green-skinned baby with completely red eyes, elongated eyebrows, and various plant-like features]]. On top of having the power to turn people into plants, it has a Stand that causes those without the proper phrases to shrink by a certain percentage each time they get closer to the baby until they've shrunken so much that they cease to exist. Not helped by its Stand, which is normally small as the baby itself, becomes a towering giant from the perspective of the affected targets as it tries to kill them.
17	* The way Gwess uses her ability is beyond messed up. Her Stand, Goo Goo Dolls, has the power to shrink people, kinda like Formaggio's Little Feet from Part 5, only if the victim disobeys the user's orders, the Stand appears again and rips them to shreds. And its user is a {{yandere}} obsessed with having [[ControlFreak absolute control]] over her "friends".
18	** 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 its skin. And if you happen to hate rats...
19	** Gwess's creepiness is played for all its worth in the anime, with ominous music and [[ScareChord Scare Chords]] playing every time she snaps. The scene where Jolyne discovers the truth about her powers is accompanied by multiple shots of the dead bird and the dead guard's bloody limbs surrounding it, all while ominous music plays.
20	* How Pucci initially intended on killing Jotaro and Jolyne. He set up his secondary power, a slowly melting acid with illusory properties. These properties invoke [[MindScrew realistic enough situations with subtle hints of being off]] until the reality hits that you're being slowly melted alive by whitish purple acid. Pucci is implied to have killed countless victims including Emporio's mother this way, and if the Joestars weren't resourceful enough and if they didn't have the young boy's help, they would've met the same fate.
21	** The second [=OP=] gives us a brief look at the aftermath of [[StrippedToTheBone Emporio's mother's death]]. It's ''not'' a pretty sight.
22	** Whitesnake itself, compared to the [[LightIsNotGood divine appearing The World]], the [[DarkIsEvil skeletal-feline Killer Queen]], and [[SatanicArchetype the perpetually angry, demonic King Crimson]]; is a low-key, dark-clothed, eerie figure with melting pupil eye designs, with its attire being subtly invoking sadomasochist gear. Its subtle, menacing presence gives it a different type of terror than the more obviously dangerous Stands that came before it.
23	** In the anime, the Stands of main villains have the same, loud and hammy voices as their users. Whitesnake has [[VoiceOfTheLegion a deep reverb]] that makes it sound like a demon, perfect for hiding its identity as a Stand of a soft-spoken priest.
24	* If you thought Steely Dan's ability to transfer damage done to him onto your grandfather was bad, imagine being targeted by Thunder [=McQueen=]'s Highway to Hell. It inflicts all of Thunder's wounds on ''you'', and unlike Dan, who uses Lovers as a deterrent, Thunder is ''actively and violently suicidal''.
25	** Becomes extra disturbing and [[{{Tearjerker}} sad]] when you learn his namesake, fashion designer Alexander [=McQueen=], actually committed suicide in February 2010.
26	* Foo Fighters' debut chapter. Hermes suddenly notices there are six people in their search group whereas previously there were only five. The prisoners begin to discuss the matter when their security bracelets begin beeping...as in, the bracelets that explode if they get too far away from the guard start beeping, and Atroe's actually explodes. After a brief scuffle with the Stand Foo Fighters, Hermes and Jolyne get back to shore and being demanding who the Stand user is and when no one fesses up Jolyne begins attacking everyone...and they begin ''[[BodyHorror melting]]'', their faces elongating and black slime oozing out of their mouths and eyes as Foo Fighters reappears (as a Stand separate from a Stand user, to boot). It then [[https://archive.ph/biiln/053a269571e29e84c128f76166828e325e1c51ee.png cuts to a shot of]] the black-haired and shaved head prisoners as Foo Fighters drain their body fluids with the shaved head woman giving us a terrifying GlasgowGrin. Was it mentioned that the shaved-head woman had inverted colored eyes?
27	** Foo Fighters in general looks like a blackish alien humanoid with its separated selves looking like deranged fish or fish-men with [[SlasherSmile perpetually crazed grins]]. Given how scary it looks, it thankfully takes on the looks of the more adorable Atroe as a host. [[DeadPersonImpersonation Though the concept of using a corpse as a shell to move around in itself is morbidly disturbing in its own right]].
28	** F.F. blowing their brains out when Whitesnake turns their own ArmCannon on themselves. And we're treated to a [[{{Gorn}} rather messy shot of it]]. They survived, but ''damn''.
29	** Yo-Yo Ma's acid later melts off their lower jaw, leaving it hanging on a hinge, leading to [[FacialHorror a ghastly image]].
30	* Miraschon's Stand, Marilyn Manson is a gambling-based Stand like the [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders D'Arby Brothers]], forcing the loser to cough up the collateral for losing. Unlike the [[YourSoulIsMine more esoteric conditions of failure of losing one's soul]], it [[BodyHorror brutally removes your vital organs]] to sell on the black market. And it's made worse that it's [[NighInvulnerability immune to physical damage]], forcing the participants to play the game until either the user is forced to surrender or it takes even more organs as collateral.
31	* 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 [[ThePowerOfHate 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.
32	-->'''DIO:''' Survivor's attacks make one feel nothing, and it ''does'' nothing. Its effects don't come close to things like severely injuring or controlling people, nor weakening them, or even knocking them out. It doesn't inflict one external action. All it does...''[[TookALevelInJerkass is]] [[HatePlague make]] [[TheBerserker them]] [[UnstoppableRage mad]]''. It awakens combative instinct in the limbic system of people's brains. Just a little at first, and then it proliferates. Because one woman said he smelled bad, he [[ThePowerOfHate drove]] the entire group into [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown a bloody brawl.]] [[MutualKill One that ended in carnage.]]
33	** It doesn't help that elements of the story sound eerily similar to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident Dyatlov Pass Incident]], with a bunch of hikers going out into the wilderness and later being found dead with brutal, unexplained injuries.
34	* [[RainOfSomethingUnusual A literal shower of frogs raining from the sky?]] Hilariously awesome. But these are poison dart frogs, which, if they fall at high enough velocity, can smash onto the ground and splash their poison onto any unfortunate bystander. We get a very nasty look at this with the guard Pucci stationed in the courtyard, who gets hideously deformed from all the poison, becoming grotesquely obese from the swelling. But, in an incredibly disturbing scene, he manages to have just enough life in him to amble towards Pucci and beg for his blessings, sounding like a panicked, teary-eyed child who lost their mother in a mall. The same guard who had mere minutes ago shot Jolyne and sadistically tried prolonging her death. No wonder even Pucci is repulsed!
35	** Keep in mind, this poison dart frog rain was a DesperationAttack from Weather Report due to Lang Rangler leaving him in terrible condition. This was an attempt to save Jolyne from both Pucci and the guard he bribed to shoot at her, but since Jolyne was already shot and laying in pain on the ground, his act of compassion towards Jolyne ''[[CollateralDamage nearly killed her]]''.
36	* Lang Rangler is an odd-looking man with suction fingertips and mostly moves on all fours like an animal. When he spits a target is when the true horror of his ability takes place. The immediate area's gravity is nullified, causing all of the blood to flush out of the body and cause the flesh to swell out in a grotesque. Even the user himself isn't immune as his eyes begin to bulge out when exposed to his own power.
37	* Sports Maxx's stand, Limp Bizkit. INVISIBLE, INAUDIBLE ZOMBIES! Need anyone to elaborate? What's better? He can turn himself into one if he dies. When he became one, he ate a woman and got covered in blood, giving us [[http://i.imgur.com/Gr0jbdY.png this lovely scene]].
38	** Sports Maxx in general is an incredibly creepy individual. Unlike some of the NeighborhoodFriendlyGangsters shown in the previous Part, Maxx is far more grounded, far more realistic approach to a ruthless member of organized crime, not above dealing drugs and prostitutes like the BigBad of the previous Part. His EstablishingCharacterMoment has him brutally execute someone by having them bite down on a chunk of wood while he stomps the back of their neck. When Ermes' sister Gloria catches sight of this he whips around and delivers a ''hellish'' stare at her location. Later Gloria was found dead in a ditch, and it's implied that despite the police finally managing to catch him, Sports Maxx managed to pull some strings to earn a mere five-year stint for tax evasion and assault rather than the life imprisonment he should have gotten for murder. His death is brutal, too. Ermes traps him in a prison sewage pipe and drowns him in filth. [[KarmicDeath A monster like him deserved such a demise]], but it's still a horrible way to go.
39	** Sports Maxx declaring his pure hatred for Ermes. It stems from the fact that she witnessed her sister's murder at his hands and it's what got him in the prison in the first place. Then, she managed to kill him and got her revenge by the sewer pipe... Or, so she thought as his stand, Limp Bizkit activates fully and since he's dead, it affects him too, making him an invisible zombie for the rest of his life, stuck to being just a rotting corpse, constantly hungry for brains and flesh and not be able to interact or be seen by others ever again. He blames all of that on Ermes because she had the gall to snitch on him in the first place. His hatred is so deep in fact, even if he did kill Ermes by devouring her brains and rearrange her insides into her skull, he ''still'' would not get over what she did to him.
40	** During the brief conversation between Sports Maxx and Whitesnake, the latter is briefly very angrily with the former, causing its usually calm features to twist into an [[NightmareFace animalistic expression of rage]] before calming down.
41	* Viviano Westwood was happily pounding on Jolyne ''while his left cheek was ripped enough to reveal some of the jawbones''. Jolyne eventually had to try skinning him with his own toenail to escape.
42	* During the conclusion of the Dragon's Dream fight, Kenzō is severely burnt, causing him to look less like the sagacious martial artist with delusions of grandeur and more like the warped monster, he is deep down, with his previous clear irises becoming frenzied lines to denote his [[VillainousBreakdown descent to open madness]].
43	** The incident that led to his burning. Kenzō attempts to have F.F. violently shocked to death via the electric chair that happened to be in the lower part of the facility while deeply enjoying the possibility of their imminent demise, made all the more harrowing as F.F. is a water-based plankton colony Stand, making it even more dangerous for them. Thankfully, F.F. manages to hold him while being shocked, leading to his previous sagacious looks being burnt away as they barely survive.
44	* The Stand Yo-Yo Ma ''seems'' useless... but it secretes a flesh-dissolving acid from its mouth, and hides it by pretending to be affable and dimwitted. It fills Jolyne's tongue with holes to prevent her from warning Anasui.
45	* After presenting Jolyne with a SadisticChoice of either defeating him or retrieving Jotaro's Memory disc, Pucci proceeds to begin his {{fusion\|dance}} with the Green Baby. He [[OminousWalk slowly approaches it]], complete with a SlasherSmile on his face, and once he's done [[CreepyMonotone monotonously]] saying the fourteen phrases, he finally fuses with it... through [[DeliberateInjuryGambit ripping a bone out]] from his arm and letting the Green Baby ''[[SickeningCrunch bite]]'' it leading to his arm being shredded to the bone. He is then pulled into a bush to undergo [[NothingIsScarier an even horrific continuation of the procedure hidden offscreen]] before he remerges with a new look with the implication that he was reduced to nothing in a gory manner before the fusion with Green Baby remade him to accommodate the later C-Moon integration.
46	* Emporio, under the influence of Jail House Lock, is unable to move from an electrocuted puddle because he's stuck in a constant loop of remembering what he's supposed to do.
47	** Jail House Lock in general is one of the most terrifying Stands. Its ability forces the victims to only be able to remember 3 new pieces of information. They keep their old memories, but they can now only keep and process three new memories at any given time. It can affect at least a few dozen people at once, and eventually? The continual flow and loss of new information can literally destroy someone's ability to think!
48	** The chapter showing Jolyne struggling to overcome it really enforces that Jail House Lock is, at a base level, a Stand that enforces dementia on whoever is unfortunate enough to encounter it. After spending so much time growing as a person and a fighter, the way she stumbles around the prison barely understanding something as simple as a three-panel comic strip is hard to read. It says a lot that Gwess, who has a love/hate relationship with Jolyne at best, has nothing but sympathy and understanding for her cellmate's new "condition" and goes out of her way to make things easier for her.
49	* During the brief time Pucci was traveling to Cape Canaveral, there were various hints to Made In Heaven; one such example is accelerating the age of a baby to a grown man. This would be fine, but... [[BodyHorror it's on a single side.]] The end result is [[https://static.jojowiki.com/images/e/e5/latest/20200821162848/C-Moon_age_acceleration.png a malformed baby whose right side is a fully grown man]]. This was so disturbing, in fact, that in a very uncharacteristic move, [[{{Bowdlerise}} the anime left it out]], though it kept the scene showing the eggs that the woman purchases turning into half-formed chicks twitching and still partly yolks, which is still very disturbing to see.
50	* During the third anime opening, "Heaven's falling down", the skeleton of Emporio's mother appears briefly in the background inside Burning Down the House. A subtle but chilling reminder of what an 11-year-old boy had to go through even before becoming involved in the plot to stop a heaven-obsessed priest and his army of Stand users.
51	* Ungalo and his Stand, [[RealityWarper Bohemian Rhapsody]], forces the fate of fictional characters onto those who identify the most with said fictional characters, especially those destined for grisly fates. It alters reality by turning any barrier between yourself and your intended attacker into an open page for them to pass through to enact their intended actions. And the characters that manifest are warped physically due to being conjured through the warped lens of a hateful and hideous drug addict who despises the entire world for how it treated him, as shown through [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/9/9f/Bohemian_Rhapsody.png/revision/latest?cb=20140828032019 with the Seven Dwarfs, the mother Goat, and Pinocchio]].
52	** There's also the fact that the Stand's range is ''infinite'', meaning that [[ParanoiaFuel you could notice a figure of a character you like anywhere, without realizing it's the Stand]] and [[AndIMustScream your soul will be doomed to follow that character's fate for eternity]].
53	* Rikiel's Stand, Sky High, controls the cryptids knon as [[https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Air_Rods Rods]], which are depicted as moving at speeds too fast to see and can drain body heat without even touching you. The effect of this and the way they're described are downright horrifying. The worst part is that Rikiel merely ''controls'' them. When he was knocked out by Ermes, the rods just proceed to freely roam around.
54	* Donatello's stand, Under World, makes its introduction when a bleeding little kid named Mike, the same one being unloaded from an ambulance at the beginning of the chapter, suddenly emerges from the cake Pucci made for him. He creepily tells Donatello about how he was shot and killed by his own father, before a gunshot suddenly fires through Mike's body and hits his father, who's waiting outside. When people come into the room to find the cause of the commotion, the kid's gone. The incident itself isn't explained for a while until Hermes deduces Under World's powers (the "memory" of Mike's death was revived by Under World), making it even creepier.
55	* Heavy Weather, the forgotten ability of Weather Report, manipulates the ozone layer. It can use this to create a subliminal message which brainwashes its victims into thinking they've been turned into snails. It's not clear whether YourMindMakesItReal is at play, or if it's all mental, but either way, Ermes, Jolyne, and pretty much everything around them are slowly transformed into snails... and then get attacked by shell-wearers, a type of beetle that eats snails. Overall, it's one of the weirdest yet most disturbing Stand abilities in the entire series. Keep in mind that Weather Report [[PowerIncontinence isn't even in full control of Heavy Weather]], and it's suggested that it could've outright '''destroyed the ozone layer''' had he not been killed in time.
56	** The anime portrays the activation of Heavy Weather with an unsetting DroneOfDread, which immediately communicates how freaking dangerous the rainbows are and dodges any potential {{Narm}} that might be had.
57	* There's something [[RealismInducedHorror realistically horrifying]] about Enrico Pucci's and Weather Report's/Wes Bluemarine's backstory. A pair of twins were SeparatedAtBirth when a desperate mother switched one of them with her own stillborn baby. They grew up in the same town without knowing of the other's existence, Enrico and Perla believing their brother had been stillborn, and Wes believing he was an only child. Because of this, Wes happens to unfortunately fall in love with the ''one girl'' who is his sister. Enrico gets knowledge of this, and tries to indirectly try to separate them by hiring a detective to round up people and intimidate Weather to break up with her. And then the detective turns out to be a member of the KKK, and the separation ends with Wes being hanged and Perla being assaulted, who then commits suicide because she thought her boyfriend was dead.
58	** As the narrator implied (asides from the KKK detective), no one was really at fault for all of the events that occurred. Enrico thought he was doing a dubious, but ultimately good act at trying to separate two siblings from unknowingly hooking up, Perla and Wes only fell in love with each other because they happened to cross paths, and even the mother repented from stealing another's child, but she did give Wes a good life up until that point and she definitely had no hand at them and Perla hooking up or their tragic end.
59	* Pucci's C-Moon has the ability to reverse an object's gravity. This represents in the object ''[[BodyHorror turning inside-out]]''. It happens to Jolyne's [[{{Squick}} hand]]. It also has the power to invert a part of Pucci's head to avoid damage, leading to [[FacialHorror a surreally unnatural image]].
60	** The C-Moon sequence is particularly chilling because hundreds of civilians get caught up in the (three-kilometer!) range of its gravity shift effect. Most of them presumably end up dead or seriously injured. The scene with numerous cars tumbling down sideways down the road is especially creepy. Imagine that you're visiting NASA with your family one beautiful day... then suddenly gravity starts acting sideways for no reason, and you, along with a crowd of people all around you, start uncontrollably falling to your doom.
61	** Compared to the subtly creepy Whitesnake, C-Moon looks more overtly demonic as well as intimidating, with a skeletal face, [[RedEyesTakeWarning completely red eyes inherited from the Green Baby]] and a permanent scowl of anger.
62	** When his Stand reaches its final form as Made In Heaven and begins accelerating time, Pucci [[ParanoiaFuel moves so fast that Jotaro, even with his time-stopping ability, struggles to attack him and ultimately fails]]; he kills all of the heroes in seconds except Emporio, without anyone being able to lay so much as a finger on him. We also get a lovely view of how this affects the rest of the world, with food decomposing before people can eat it, and the environment literally falling apart around everyone before the universe ''ends and starts anew just as before''. And Pucci is [[WouldHurtAChild still hunting for Emporio]]...
63	*** Made In Heaven in comparison to the creepy Whitesnake and the intimidating C-Moon, is an ethereal looking being, but also subtly unnatural to look at. Its form is an eyeless jockey with a feather collar, Christ-like vines on its cranium, and its lower half is a white horse complete with an equine head, invoking [[ReligiousHorror an angelic looking herald half centaur of the end of the world]], [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse specifically a horseman from the Book of Revelation]] that Pucci's plan is likely invoking.
64	*** The way it's ultimately born is [[SurrealHorror subtly wrong and surreal]]. Anasui punches Pucci, but instead of a finishing blow, the arm he punched with suddenly [[BodyHorror bursts apart to reveal Made In Heaven underneath]] with no indiction of bone, muscle or blood- just empty space for the Stand to appear from. Anasui's arm temporally became a portal to summon this unnatural Stand. [[SurrealHorror This is the first indication of the the inherent wrongness of the Stand]].
65	** The anime's portrayal of Made in Heaven's super speed is extremely intimidating. Pucci often so fast that he's barely on screen for more than a few frames, making it difficult even for the audience to keep track of his location in the fight. It really communicates how unbeatable Made in Heaven is- even with the ludicrous normal speed of a Stand's punches, Made In Heaven is far beyond what any normal human can keep track of. [[FromBadToWorse And then the acceleration increases in speed, leading to...]]
66	** The massacre of the group. Made in Heaven kills every single member with ease, leaving Emporio the only survivor, [[TheHeroDies Not even Jolyne or Jotaro]] were spared. While the previous main villains were [[HeroKiller not slouches in getting in kills on the protagonists]], none of them came close to how efficient and nearly one-sided the massacre was.
67	-->'''Pucci:''' I must eliminate any obstacles in the way of my destiny. I feel no remorse for them or you [Emporio]... nor will I let you go free. I'll put an end to ''everything''.
68	** After [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Jonathan's death]], his descendants had some close calls, but they all manage to survive beyond the end of their Parts. The initial assumption is that both Jotaro and Jolyne would survive the battle with only their prominent allies being the only ones to die or at worse, only Jotaro would [[MentorOccupationalHazard die a heroic sacrifice to inspire Jolyne to get stronger to defeat Pucci]]. Then not only does Jotaro, the previously unstoppable hero die with shocking ease, but [[TheHeroDies Jolyne, the protagonist, follows shortly after]]. It really sets in [[DarkestHour the reality that the situation is truly all but hopeless with only Emporio, a child whose Stand isn't really combat oriented, being left to stand up to Pucci who has essentially gained the power of a God at this point]]. Is it any wonder that the poor kid spends most of this time [[TearsOfFear crying out of pure terror?]]
69	-->'''Pucci:''' I left everyone who ever dared to interfere with my destiny back in the other world... [[SuddenlyShouting All of them except for]] ''[[SuddenlyShouting you,]]'' '''''[[SuddenlyShouting Emporio!]]''''' [[ThisCannotBe You were]] ''[[ThisCannotBe never]]'' [[ThisCannotBe supposed to exist in this new reality!]]\
70	''[[PurposelyOverpowered (Pucci summons Made In Heaven to chase the now defenceless Emporio)]]''\
71	'''Pucci:''' [[LeaveNoSurvivors So now, I'm left with no other choice but to]] ''[[PrepareToDie eliminate you!]]''\
72	''(Emporio cries and screams in terror)''
73	** In the anime, when Jotaro notices the knives falling around Jolyne, our famously unflappable hero '''''[[NotSoStoic screams in terror]]'''''. That's right, Pucci managed to do something none of Jotaro's other enemies managed to do, and that was break him emotionally.
74	*** Even more so when you realize that despite coming out on top with his monumental with DIO in Cairo decades ago, the fight left Jotaro with deep emotional scars, to the point he probably never thought he would ever have to deal with an enemy the same caliber again. Only for Pucci to be even deadlier with his newfound Stand ability and using Jotaro's ''daughter'' in combination with DIO's knife trick to inflict a brutal SadisticChoice on Jotaro.
75	** When he realizes that Jolyne has given him the slip, Pucci [[SayMyName calls her out by her family name]] before diving into the water to pursue her. Tomokazu Seki puts out a good showing, but Yong Yea takes it a step further by ''howling'' for Jolyne in absolute rage, totally selling how utterly and fanatically set Pucci has become on ending the Joestar bloodline.
76	--->'''Pucci:''' '''''JOESTAAAAAAAARRR!!'''''
77	** 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 seeing just how swiftly and brutally the main hero of the Part was killed off.
78	** As the effects of Made in Heaven accelerate, we get the [[SarcasmMode lovely sight]] of Jotaro and Ermes' corpses rapidly rotting away. We even get to see Ermes' arm turn to nothing but bones. An incredibly brutal and undignified final shot for our heroes.
79	*** Literally everyone else on the planet bears witness to time accelerating before their eyes. Made in Heaven's power has no effect on living beings, be it human, plant, or animal. But then there is ''everything else''. At first, you just see clouds moving faster than normal. Then you buy ice cream only to see it melt in seconds, or see a ball fly up, only to drop with enough force to destroy your jaw. Cars speed up like trains, risking a hit-and-run or accident, or helicopters going too fast until they crash. Then you see the sun begin cycling faster and faster until it becomes a streak of light. As time speeds up even more, food drys or rots away, dust piles up instantly, clothes erode, and buildings crumble. Even the ground breaks apart as if Earth itself is coming to an end. Like Emporio, you would see the rest of the universe follow suit and eventually reset. That's terrifying, though not as terrifying as Pucci later stating that you will have full awareness of your entire lifespan after rebirth if his plans were finalized. If that doesn't achieve happiness as he intended, then it would certainly instill some serious unease.
80	*** Adding to this, non-living things refer to the recently dead as well. Like mentioned above, other people witness those who have passed a moment ago proceed to quickly decompose before your eyes. What's worse, if Pucci had gotten his way, he claims those people would have cease to exist in the new universe, replaced by lookalikes.
81	---->'''Pucci:''' In this world, the Jolyne Cujoh you knew exists no longer. Neither do Jotaro, Anasui, nor Ermes. Not even their souls survived total annihilation. And that is because the dead cannot return. All of those who perished in the accelerated time have been erased forever.
82	** The shot of ''The Creation of Adam'' in the Art/SistineChapel cracking, while not frightening in of itself, is hollowing in terms of its symbolism, given the entire terror at hand is is the realization of a mad priest's twisted view of what he believes to be God's plan, when, under most sane interpretations, the very cosmological horror that is happening is anything but what God intended.
83	** 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]].
84	** 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.
85	* 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.
86	** 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 alone a ''Stand''.
87	** 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.
88	** 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.
89	** 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...
90	** ...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''.
