Season chronology

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean (Japanese: ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 ストーンオーシャン, Hepburn: JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Sutōn Ōshan) is the fifth season of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime television series by David Production, adapting Stone Ocean, the sixth part of Hirohiko Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. The first twelve episodes of Stone Ocean were initially released worldwide as part of an original net animation season on Netflix on December 1, 2021, before its scheduled airing on Japanese television in January 2022; the next twelve episodes released worldwide on September 1, 2022, and the final fourteen episodes were released on December 1 of the same year. Viz Media licensed the home video rights in North America.

Plot

Set in 2011 in the United States, Jolyne Cujoh is sentenced to 15 years in prison after being involved in a car accident and framed for the vehicular manslaughter of a pedestrian. She is imprisoned at Green Dolphin Street Prison near Port St. Lucie, Florida, nicknamed the "Aquarium". Her father, Jotaro Kujo, gives her a pendant that causes her to awaken a Stand. Following a series of inexplicable events, Jotaro informs his daughter that a disciple of Dio framed her in order to kill her in prison. Jotaro attempts to break her out, but the frame-up is revealed to be a trap for Jotaro; following a confrontation against a Stand named Whitesnake, Jotaro's memories and Stand are stolen, putting him in a medically unresponsive state.

With Jolyne's new resolve of wanting to save her father, she swears to find the culprit hiding within the prison. Jolyne assembles a gang of fellow inmates, including Narciso Anasui, a convicted murderer; Ermes Costello, who wants to locate her sister's killer at Green Dolphin Street; and Weather Report, an amnesiac inmate. The gang also includes Emporio Alnino, a boy born within the prison whose mother was killed, and Foo Fighters, a sentient colony of plankton possessing a dead inmate. Jolyne recovers Jotaro's Stand and memories, and discovers that Whitesnake's user is the prison chaplain, Enrico Pucci; she manages to escape in pursuit of him.

At Cape Canaveral, Pucci follows the instructions in Dio's diary to achieve Heaven, evolving his Stand Whitesnake into C-Moon, with the ability to control gravity, and ultimately Made in Heaven, which gives him superhuman speed and accelerates time with the exception of living beings. Pucci intends to bring humanity into the next cycle of time by accelerating time beyond the end of the universe, which will cause humanity to subconsciously know their fates. Using Made in Heaven, he kills off Jolyne's group one-by-one. However, their sacrifices allow Emporio to survive long enough for Pucci to accidentally grant him Weather Report's eponymous Stand. He is then killed by Emporio, using Weather Report to immobilize Pucci through oxygen poisoning before finishing him off. After the universe reaches its end and begins anew, Emporio meets reincarnations of the rest of the cast, now living different but happier lives.

In 2011, ten years after the events of Golden Wind, Jolyne Cujoh's boyfriend, Romeo Jisso, crashes into a pedestrian. Romeo convinces her to help him dispose of the body, but she is eventually arrested for the victim's death. As she prepares for her trial, her attorney gives her various items from her mother and a pendant from her estranged father, Jotaro Kujo, that contains a piece of a broken arrow that pierces her finger. While on remand at Green Dolphin Street Prison aka The Aquarium in Port St. Lucie, Florida, Jolyne meets and befriends an inmate named Ermes Costello. She discovers she can emit a long, thin thread from her body, which she can use to hear and attack people from a long distance. She uses it to rescue Ermes from two corrupt guards. Later, Jolyne's attorney talks her into a plea bargain for a reduced sentence, but she ends up getting sentenced to 15 years in prison when it is revealed the victim was still alive at the time before he was disposed of. She then discovers that her attorney was hired by Romeo's family to frame her for the accident, so she uses her new ability to choke the corrupt lawyer on the freeway and force him to crash.

In prison, Jolyne shares her cell with Gwess, a prisoner with drastic mood swings who has her father's pendant and a strange pet bird. She discovers that the bird is a hollowed-out shell containing a shrunken prison guard and deduces that Gwess also gained powers from the pendant. Gwess shrinks Jolyne and forces her to wear a mouse carcass so that she can sneak into the control room to deactivate the prison locks and help them escape. However, the increased distance from Gwess weakens her shrinking ability, causing Jolyne to slowly return to her normal size. On her way back, Jolyne is attacked by Gwess' vicious Stand, Goo Goo Dolls, but she manages to fight back by materializing her own Stand. After Gwess reveals that Ermes sold her the pendant, Jolyne forces her cellmate to free her by viciously pummeling her with her Stand, which she names Stone Free.

Gwess demonstrates to Jolyne how money and power between inmates is manipulated throughout the prison. As Jolyne quickly adapts to the system, she comes across a mysterious boy dressed in a baseball uniform, who tells her that she'll be receiving a visitor the next day and to avoid going to the visitation room. When she decides to go anyway, he gives her a bone to protect herself. Jolyne is disgusted to find that the visitor is her father, Jotaro. He reveals that a blind assassin inmate named Johngalli A was responsible for the car accident and arranged for her long prison sentence in revenge against him for killing Dio. Jotaro offers to help her escape but she refuses, still bitter at him for being absent most of her life. Before she can leave, the two are suddenly shot at and wounded from the distant men's prison by Johngalli A. His Stand, Manhattan Transfer, allows him to sense air currents and helps direct his sniper bullets.

Jolyne attempts to confuse Johngalli A's Stand in the visitation room by triggering the fire sprinkler system. The mysterious boy instructs Jolyne to kick out the base of a pillar, which uncovers a secret passageway. Jotaro suggests that they escape, but Jolyne decides to try to save the boy from the enemy Stand as he has now become the target. She seemingly foils the assassin by using a broken gas pipe to throw off his sense of direction and immobilizes the Stand. But she realizes she's in a dream and manages to wake herself up by cutting her hand on the bone that the boy gave her earlier. She then finds herself, Jotaro, and the room covered in a corrosive slime.

Jotaro is awakened by Jolyne and he uses his Stand, Star Platinum, to free them from the melting room. He begins to lead Jolyne to a beach where a submarine from the Speedwagon Foundation is waiting for them. However, they are shot at by Johngalli A, who disguised himself as a prison guard. The injured Jotaro realizes that he is the target and that the sniper is working with another Stand User who put him and Jolyne to sleep. The other attacker's Stand, named Whitesnake, converts Jotaro's Stand and memories into discs and extracts them from him. As Jotaro falls into a coma, Jolyne finds out how much her father truly cared for her. She defeats Johngalli and leaves Jotaro at the beach to be picked up by the Speedwagon Foundation before returning to the prison in the hope of retrieving the discs and reviving him. Back inside, she contacts the boy, who tells her his name is Emporio and that he was born in the prison, where his inmate mother was killed by Whitesnake. Meanwhile, Whitesnake shoots Johngalli with his own gun to make it look like suicide.

Jolyne has five years added to her sentence for the attempted prison break and is placed in solitary confinement in the Punishment Ward. Ermes wakes up in the Infirmary following a fever she developed after piercing herself on Jolyne's pendant to find herself being robbed by the inmate janitor, Thunder McQueen. She discovers that she can produce stickers from the palm of her hand that duplicates whatever they touch and merge the items back together in a destructive manner if the sticker is removed or destroyed. She uses a sticker to attack McQueen and she finds two discs sticking out of his head. She takes one and finds it contains his memories, including one where he meets with Whitesnake. McQueen attempts to hang himself out of a sense of despair which causes his Stand Highway to Hell to inflict his pain onto Ermes, but she uses her Stand to save herself. Ermes runs into Emporio, who informs her that the disc still inside McQueen contains his Stand. Ermes unsuccessfully tries to stop McQueen's suicide attempts so she uses a sticker to incapacitate him and eject the Stand disc. Ermes grabs the disc and plans revenge on Whitesnake for her ordeal as her Stand, Kiss, manifests itself.

Ermes gives McQueen's discs to Emporio for safekeeping and he lends the memory disc to Jolyne to see if there are any clues about Whitesnake and her father's discs. Meanwhile, two inmates are consumed by a blob-like monster at the prison farm near the swamp. The prison chief Loccobarocco assembles all the inmates and calls for volunteers to search for the escapees. Jolyne and Ermes volunteer along with an inmate named Atroe and two other women. They are forced to wear bracelets that will explode if they stray more than 50 meters away from the lead guard. Jolyne tells Ermes she learned from McQueen's memories that Whitesnake has dozens of Stand discs stored within one of the tractor tires on the farm. As they approach the wetlands, Ermes notices that there are six inmates when only five volunteered. The guard is suddenly attacked and dragged far away, which causes Atroe's bracelet to explode, killing her. Ermes is suddenly dragged into the water by an enemy Stand made up of multiplying, sentient plankton. Jolyne frees her and the Stand remains in the water, refusing to follow them inland. The two then confront the other three members of the search party to determine who the imposter is.

Jolyne and Ermes discover that the two of the search party members were killed and possessed by extensions of their opponent, a plankton colony called Foo Fighters aka "F.F.", who used the victims' remains to disguise itself. F.F. explains that it is both a Stand User and a Stand after Whitesnake granted it intelligence to guard the Stand discs for him. Jolyne chases F.F. into the nearby barn while Ermes attempts to prevent the Stand's double from dragging away the guard to trigger their bracelets. Ermes defeats the double by drawing it out of the water and exposing it to the dried-up corpse of one of the inmates. In the barn, F.F. gains the upper hand on Jolyne after covering the ground with water, but Jolyne uses Stone Free's threads to activate the tractor and drive the discs away. F.F. chases the tractor but falls apart as its body is absorbed by the dirt. Jolyne decides to spare the dying entity when she realizes it was protecting the discs for their own sake rather than for Whitesnake's and recruits F.F. as an ally. Jolyne finds Jotaro's Stand disc, but not his memory. F.F. possesses Atroe's corpse to join Jolyne and Ermes in prison, hiding Jotaro's disc within her body. The farm is later investigated by Whitesnake and its user, Enrico Pucci, the prison's head priest.

Miraschon appears and bets $100 that they cannot the catch ball one hundred times in a row. When they succeed, Miraschon challenges them to catch the ball another one hundred times for $1,000. Jolyne refuses, but Ermes accepts the bet and takes her place. When a guard confiscates the glove from Ermes, she is forced to cheat with her Stand, losing the bet. Miraschon's Stand, Marilyn Manson, appears to extract the money from Ermes. Since Ermes does not have enough, Marilyn removes her liver to pay off the rest of the debt. Jolyne then bets that she can catch the ball one thousand times in return for everything that was taken from Ermes. Miraschon reenters the prison, forcing Jolyne and F.F. to continue to toss the ball while chasing her. The game is again interrupted by the guard who takes the ball, but Jolyne retrieves it with her thread and continues the game. Since they never agreed on a specific partner, Jolyne has Stone Free toss the ball at Miraschon one thousand times. As a result, she wins the bet, saves Ermes, and retrieves the two discs.

A representative instructs her to deliver Jotaro's Stand disc to "Savage Garden" at the courtyard in 20 minutes. On her way there, Emporio pulls her into the ghost of a music room from the prison's past as his Stand, Burning Down the House, enables him to manifest objects which no longer exist. He introduces her to an amnesiac Stand User named Weather Report who wants to help her. While demonstrating his Stand's power to control the weather, he spots an inmate named Lang Rangler following them. Rangler uses his Stand, Jumpin' Jack Flash, to manipulate gravity and suspend Jolyne in mid-air, making her and anything she touches weightless. He steals Jotaro's Stand disc from her, but when he retreats, Weather's Stand counters his abilities with atmospheric pressure. Weather then touches Jolyne to also become weightless and they chase Rangler into the main factory area to retrieve the disc.

Pucci requests access to recent phone recordings to learn more about Jolyne's call to the Speedwagon Foundation. In the factory room, Jolyne and Weather find themselves in a zero-gravity vacuum being shot at by Rangler's metal projectiles and in danger of suffocating from a lack of oxygen with their blood leaking from their bodies. Weather uses his Stand and the remaining air to create suits of clouds that allow them to breathe and halt their blood loss for a short time. Jolyne figures out that Jumpin' Jack Flash has a limited range in the room and tries to help Weather reach it so he can manipulate the air, but his suit suffers considerable damage from Rangler's attacks. Rangler attempts to rupture her protective suit, but Jolyne attaches multiple threads to his projectiles, allowing her to pull him into the zero-gravity vacuum area which causes his blood to boil. He destroys Jolyne's suit by throwing an exploding glass bottle at her, but Weather saves her by giving her the rest of his cloud suit. Rangler is forced to reinstate gravity, but the incoming burst of air pushes him towards Jolyne, allowing her to pummel him with Stone Free.

In the present, Pucci allows Jolyne to go to the courtyard to avoid revealing Whitesnake, but she is shot by a guard under his control and drops the disc. A desperate Weather tries to help Jolyne by making it rain poison dart frogs, which kill the guard who shot Jolyne. Jolyne protects herself from the falling frogs by creating a shelter with her threads as Pucci also manages to evade them. When the deluge stops, Pucci instructs Whitesnake to search the courtyard for Jotaro's Stand disc and Jolyne's body. When Whitesnake locates the Stand disc, Jolyne uses her threads to grab the disc and pass it to Savage Garden, a trained carrier pigeon from the Speedwagon Foundation.

They attempt to recover with a faucet to inform Jolyne of Pucci's identity, but Whitesnake forces the water to boil, disintegrating them. Meanwhile, Jolyne and Anasui attempt to retrieve the green baby, but find themselves shrinking whenever they get close to it as a result of the infant's Stand, Green, Green Grass of Home. Anasui traps the Stand in a bottle, but becomes trapped underneath the bottle's weight as it threatens to crush him. The baby and its Stand stop attacking the two when it notices the star-shaped birthmark on Jolyne's shoulder, but Anasui senses it has dark intentions and plans to kill it.

Before Pucci can take F.F.'s Stand disc and determine Jolyne's whereabouts, he discovers that F.F. was communicating to Weather Report using a guard's transceiver. Weather uses his Stand to create heavy rain above the two, restoring F.F. and allowing them to escape. After seemingly reuniting with Weather, the two meet up with Jolyne and Anasui and reveal that Pucci is Whitesnake's user. Anasui announces his intent to kill the green baby, but the Weather with them is revealed to be a disguised Whitesnake and fatally wounds him and F.F. Pucci arrives and battles Jolyne, who prevents him from escaping with a pair of handcuffs. When she begins to overpower him, Pucci tosses Jotaro's memory disc into the dying Anasui, forcing her to abandon the fight. After reciting 14 phrases and offering his own bone, Pucci fuses with the green baby and the prisoners' souls contained within it. Meanwhile, using the last of their strength, F.F. heals Anasui's wounds and saves Jotaro's memory disc before saying goodbye to Jolyne and passing on.

Having fused with the green baby, Pucci leaves Green Dolphin Street Prison to enact the next part of Dio's plan to attain Heaven. After viewing her father's memory disc and discovering Pucci's plans, Jolyne resolves to escape the prison and stop him. As she and Emporio contemplate how to break out, they are confronted by the prison's head guard, Miu Miu. Miu Miu uses her Stand Jail House Lock to make Jolyne suffer from short-term memory loss that limits her to only remembering three things at a time. Miu Miu attempts to prevent Jolyne from retaining her memories, but Jolyne resolves to meet Emporio, who has also been affected by Jail House Lock.

Jolyne reaches Emporio's room, where he remembers that he intended to print an image of the head guard's face. Miu Miu appears behind them, having followed Jolyne, and shoots both Emporio and his computer. Jolyne chases down Miu Miu, but the head guard summons multiple officers to prevent Jolyne from remembering her. Emporio uses Stone Free's string to print out a binary image of Miu Miu, allowing Jolyne to identify her as the enemy and finally defeat her. Holding Miu Miu hostage, the two meet Ermes in the medical ward, who escapes the prison with them. Meanwhile, Pucci begins to lose control of his Stand, which shows preliminary signs of a new ability, as he heads toward his final destination: the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral.

After learning of Jolyne, Ermes and Emporio's jailbreak, Anasui and Weather Report escape from Green Dolphin as well to join them in tracking down Pucci. On his way to Cape Canaveral, Pucci meets a drug addict and two troubled youths at a hospital who appear to be Stand Users shortly after hearing about Jolyne's escape. Near Orlando, Anasui and Weather hitch a ride from an old man to get to Pucci faster. On board the truck, Anasui suddenly sees various fictional characters such as Pinocchio, Snow White, and the Seven Dwarves come to life and hear that many more are appearing over the radio. Anasui suddenly finds that his and the truck driver's souls have been separated from their bodies because they liked these fairy tales growing up. Weather is not affected as his amnesia prevents him from recognizing any of the characters. After killing Pinocchio, Anasui sees the old man transform into the Big Bad Wolf and beheads him. When the wolf claims his story has ended, Anasui is confused before seeing his body run off with Weather.

Anasui's soul attempts to catch up to Weather and finds that more people are being separated from their bodies by the fictional characters as a result of an enemy Stand named Bohemian Rhapsody. After seeing a store owner become the prince who saves Snow White, he realizes that everyone is being forced to live out the characters' stories. He then becomes the wolf from the Wolf and the Seven Young Goats and is chased by the mother goat wielding scissors. Weather is separated from his body by van Gogh's self-portrait, who attempts to make him shoot himself in the head twice just as the real van Gogh did. Weather attempts to track the Stand User, but finds that he has already left Florida on a plane. The Stand User is revealed to be the drug addict Pucci met named Ungalo, who is one of Dio's illegitimate sons alongside the two other troubled youths at the hospital recruited by Pucci to stop Jolyne and her allies. Weather ultimately defeats the Stand by using van Gogh's artistic talent to create a new character with a story that returns the rest of the characters back to their worlds and brings everyone else back to reality, leaving Ungalo devastated. Meanwhile, Jolyne stops by a remorseful Romeo's house and convinces him to lend her money and his personal helicopter.

Jolyne, Ermes, and Emporio are forced to crash their helicopter as they are attacked by Dio's next child, Rikiel. Rikiel suffered panic attacks until Pucci exposed his Stand, Sky High, which gives him the ability to control rods that extract body heat and attack his foes internally. Jolyne counters his ability by lighting herself on fire, forcing Rikiel to do the same so he could target Jolyne's brain stem. However, she is still able to track him down thanks to his Joestar lineage and beats him down. Rikiel then uses his Stand to remove his body's ability to feel pain to force Jolyne to choose between killing him or letting him kill her, but she manages to avoid both options as Rikiel putting his hand on her neck prevented her heat from being removed. Rikiel believes Pucci will use Jolyne's determination and luck to his advantage and reveals that Weather is Pucci's younger brother before Ermes knocks him out.

Jolyne instructs Emporio to contact the Speedwagon Foundation and deliver Jotaro's memory disc to them while she and Ermes go inside to fight Pucci. Versus awakens his Stand, Under World, which creates a large hole in their room that he and Pucci hide in. When Jolyne goes inside the hole to investigate, she suddenly finds herself inside a plane and signals Ermes to pull her back. Ermes ends up falling in with her after being deceived by a memory of Sports Maxx. They find out that they are in a plane that crashed in 2005 and have minutes before the accident is recreated.

From his rough upbringing and his encounter with Pucci, Versus discovers that his Stand ability is to excavate memories and events of people from the Earth. During the fight, he grows increasingly agitated at Pucci for belittling him and secretly steals Weather's memory disc from the priest. Jolyne attempts to escape through the plane's emergency exit, but Versus gets her trapped in the memory of a jet fighter who also crashed in the area. She gets in contact with Emporio, who uses his computer to relay to them the events that happened. He instructs Jolyne to crash the jet into the plane and then for her and Ermes to find the two seats of the only passengers that survived the crash. When they arrive there, Versus brings down some children from the hospital to force them to choose between saving themselves or the kids. They manage to save everyone by hiding themselves and the children inside the bodies of the replicants of the surviving passengers using their respective Stand abilities. The cornered Versus uses his Stand to return Weather's memories to him, causing rainbows to suddenly appear.

After regaining his memories, Weather develops a more aggressive and sinister attitude as he becomes obsessed over finding Pucci. Anasui, disturbed by Weather's sudden change in personality, follows him. Pucci and Versus escape the hospital as Weather's evolved Stand, Heavy Weather, begins to affect the entire city. Anyone exposed to the rainbows in the area begins secreting snails and eventually transforms into a snail themselves. Jolyne and Ermes decide to track Versus, who is attempting to find Emporio to get Jotaro's memory disc and learn the secrets to obtaining Heaven. As Versus uses Jolyne's memory to locate Emporio and knock him out, Jolyne and Ermes partially transform after touching the snails.

When Pucci decided to pursue priesthood at the age of 15, he meets Dio one night in the church, who cures his disfigured foot and gives him a Stand arrow. Shortly later, Wes's dying mother came to church and confessed to Pucci that she swapped her deceased child with his twin. After discovering his brother was alive, Pucci learned that his younger sister, Perla, was dating Wes. Unable to tell her of their incestuous relationship due to the Seal of Confession, Pucci hires a P.I. group to force them to break up. However, the group was affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan and decided to beat and lynch Wes after learning his adoptive mother's husband was African-American. Unable to hear his faint heartbeat, Perla assumes he died and commits suicide. Her death sends Pucci into despair and causes the arrow to pierce him, resulting in both twins developing their Stands. Weather's rage at Pucci's actions and his inability to kill himself causes his Stand to go haywire and turns several of the townsfolk into snails. Pucci confronts him and uses Whitesnake to remove Weather's memories before sending him to prison. The tragic events inspired Pucci to seek out Dio and eventually become his disciple.

Weather encourages Anasui to kill him after he gets revenge on Pucci as he is unable to control Heavy Weather. They are suddenly ambushed by the priest, who cuts off Weather's legs and transforms Anasui with the rainbows. Pucci removed his sight to make him immune to Heavy Weather's ability after remembering that blind people were unaffected back when his Stand awakened. Weather uses Pucci's blindness to his advantage by freezing his blood to form spikes and using the wind and frozen blood to bring him closer. He gains the upper hand, but before he could finish Pucci off, he is suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Jolyne and her allies. This brief distraction allows Pucci to murder Weather as well as Versus in the ensuing chaos before using his Stand to escape. As Jolyne and her friends mourn Weather, they find his Stand's disc on his corpse and take it with them.

A day after Weather's death, Jolyne sends Jotaro's memory disc to the Speedwagon Foundation to help her father recover as her group drives towards the Kennedy Space Center. When they approach Cape Canaveral, they get pulled back as the gravity is now directed sideways due to Pucci's Stand fully fusing with the green baby to become C-Moon. Ermes falls behind after getting knocked by some debris while Jolyne, Emporio, and Anasui climb their way toward the Space Center. Pucci's evolved Stand confronts Jolyne and begins to turn her inside out by reversing the gravitational pull on her body.

Jolyne tricks C-Moon into striking her again to return her body to normal. Using Anasui as a weight, she wraps her threads around the Stand's neck to choke it out and leave it vulnerable. Before she can capitalize on it, Pucci arrives and causes another shift in gravity as he is the center of the phenomenon and instructs C-Moon to attack her heart and reverse the blood flow to her brain, seemingly killing her. However, Emporio receives a text from Jotaro informing him that he's nearby and that Jolyne is still alive. With Pucci being aware of her survival as well, Anasui decides to pursue him to protect Jolyne.

Pucci attempts to find Jolyne to finish her off while fighting Anasui along the way. He eventually locates her and finds that she discovered a way to prevent her body from being turned inside out by making her threads into Mobius strips every time C-Moon attacks her. After weakening her further, Pucci grabs a security officer's gun to shoot her, but she is rescued by the arrival of Jotaro and Ermes, who used a harpoon from the Speedwagon Foundation to catch up to them. Pucci begins floating in a door frame as he realizes he doesn't need to wait 36 hours for the new moon as long as he can stimulate the gravity requirements to evolve his Stand further. Jotaro uses Star Platinum's ability to stop time to throw the harpoon at him, but Pucci turns his eyes at the last second in the stopped time to avoid a fatal blow and lands in the space shuttle to get to the optimal position.

Pucci successfully evolves his Stand to its final form, Made in Heaven. After a blinding light from the transformation, Jolyne and her allies wake up 200 meters away from the shuttle and are unable to detect where Pucci is. When man-made objects and nature begin moving at high speeds, they realize Made in Heaven can accelerate time. Pucci begins approaching them as a blur as his Stand's ability grants him superhuman speed. Jotaro discovers that his ability to stop time has been reduced as a result of the time acceleration. As they move to a nearby rooftop, they struggle to find a way to counter Pucci's new ability.

Before Pucci can finish them off on the rooftop, Emporio uses his ghost room gun and Ermes' sticker to fly them away. Anasui instructs him to land them in the ocean to track Pucci better, where he plans to have Made in Heaven attack him first so Jotaro can stop time and finish the priest off. They begin to notice the sky moving faster as time continues to accelerate. When Anasui is impaled, Jotaro stops time, but finds that Pucci used Stone Free to murder Anasui and had thrown knives at Jolyne just as Dio had done to him before, leading him to save his daughter instead. Pucci kills Jotaro and Ermes and wounds Jolyne. Jolyne saves Emporio by tying him to a dolphin with her threads and sacrifices herself to give him more time to escape. Emporio watches in horror as time accelerates beyond the end of the universe, and suddenly finds himself back in Green Dolphin Street Prison.

Emporio finds that he is back at the day when he met Jolyne, only to find imitations of her and Jotaro in the visiting center. Pucci explains that they are in a new universe where all survivors from the previous universe have subconscious precognition of their fates (which he believes to be a state of "Heaven") and that everyone who died in the previous universe will not return. He brought them back to that day so he could tie up loose ends by killing Emporio, and follows him to his ghost room to finish him off. However, Emporio tricks the priest into inserting Weather's Stand disc, which was given to him by Jolyne before she died, into his head. Pucci uses his Stand's power, but Emporio uses Weather's Stand to fill the room with pure oxygen, causing Pucci to suffer oxygen toxicity at a hastened rate. Pucci begs Emporio to stop Weather's Stand so that Made In Heaven can complete its cycle, or else the work will be undone. Emporio refuses, declaring that fate has already defeated him as it will always follow the path of justice, and Weather's Stand pummels Pucci to death. As a result, Made in Heaven's effect is undone, and Emporio finds himself at a gas station. He meets a hitchhiker named Eldis and a couple named Irene and Anakis, who appear to be reincarnations of Ermes, Jolyne, and Anasui respectively. Irene offers to take Emporio and the hitchhiker with them as they travel to meet Irene's father. Upon seeing Irene's star-shaped birthmark, Emporio tearfully introduces himself to her. While driving, they also pick up another hitchhiker who resembles Weather Report.
