Synopsis
Characters
- Jolyne Cujoh[lower-alpha 2] is an inmate at Green Dolphin Street Jail, and is the daughter of the Stardust Crusaders character Jotaro Kujo. Her Stand is Stone Free,[lower-alpha 3] which allows her to unravel her body into elastic thread.
- Hermes Costello[lower-alpha 4] is an inmate who got her sentence on purpose, intending to get revenge on her sister's killer, Sports Maxx. She uses the Stand Kiss,[lower-alpha 5] which allows her to place stickers on objects that duplicate the objects perfectly until the sticker is removed, at which point the duplicate and the original will violently fuse together, leaving the object damaged.
- Foo Fighters,[lower-alpha 6] shortened to F.F., is a sapient being consisting of plankton, and is its own Stand.
- Emporio Alniño[lower-alpha 7] is a boy born to an unknown inmate in Green Dolphin Street Jail. His Stand, Burning Down the House,[lower-alpha 8] manifests in the form of a ghost room that he secretly lives in, together with Weather Report and Narciso Anasui.
- Weather Report[lower-alpha 9] is an amnesic inmate who aides Jolyne at Emporio's request. His Stand, also named Weather Report, allows him to manipulate the weather and the atmosphere.
- Narciso Anasui[lower-alpha 10] is an inmate who is in love with Jolyne, and wishes to marry her. He uses the Stand Diver Down,[lower-alpha 11] which allows him to phase himself or his Stand into objects, and Diver Down into others' bodies to absorb damage dealt to them.
- Enrico Pucci[lower-alpha 12] is a priest at Green Dolphin Street Jail, and uses the Stand Whitesnake,[lower-alpha 13] which allows him to extract people's memories and Stands in the form of compact disks, which can be inserted into other people and objects. He seeks to avenge Dio and continue his plans by rewriting reality into Dio's image.
Plot
Set near Port St. Lucie, Florida, the story follows Jotaro Kujo's daughter, Jolyne Cujoh, who is framed for a murder and ends up in Green Dolphin Street Jail. However, an amulet from her father allows her to unlock her Stand. Jotaro soon comes to visit her and informs her that a disciple of DIO's framed her so that he could kill her in prison, and urges her to escape. This plan goes awry when a Stand named Whitesnake uses its power to remove Jotaro's Stand and memories, in the form of discs. Jotaro sinks into a deathlike state, and Jolyne must somehow find a way to recover the discs from Whitesnake's user, the mysterious prison chaplain Enrico Pucci. Along the way, she picks up allies such as Emporio Alniño, a boy whose late mother gave birth to him in prison, Hermes Costello, an inmate searching for her sister's killer, and the convicted murderer, Narciso Anasui, who soon falls into unrequited love for Jolyne. Most notable of her allies is Weather Report, an amnesiac like Jotaro ever since Pucci stole his memories, though he retains his weather-controlling Stand.
Pucci knew and idolized DIO sometime before the events of Part 3 occurred. While in DIO's company, DIO spoke of "Heaven" and how to create a "perfect world" when certain conditions were met. Pucci, keeping DIO to his word, proceeds with his plan to realize this "perfect world", which involves absorbing the remnants of DIO's bones and arriving at a predestined place on the night of the new moon.
Jolyne, Hermes, and Emporio escape from prison on their hunt for Pucci while Anasui and Weather Report also escape in pursuit of Jolyne. She succeeds in sending both of Jotaro's discs to the Speedwagon Foundation and the "resurrection" of Jotaro quickly goes underway. During a battle with an enemy Stand user, Weather's memory disc is returned to him, after which he remembers that Pucci is in fact his long-lost brother. With his memories returned, Weather unleashes his Stand's true powers on the world and faces Pucci in combat. Weather Report is ultimately killed, and Pucci continues on to Cape Canaveral in time for the new moon.
Jolyne and company catch up to Pucci but all seems lost when they are faced by the next evolution of his Stand, C-Moon. Their lives are saved when a revived Jotaro arrives, but Pucci is able to achieve his goal as C-Moon evolves once more into its final form: Made in Heaven. Using Made in Heaven, Pucci speeds up time itself, and proceeds to kill Jolyne, Jotaro, Anasui, and Hermes in front of Emporio. The final effects of Made in Heaven are completed when time accelerates to the end of the universe, leading to a new cycle of time and a parallel universe in its place, where all surviving humans have precognitive understanding of fated actions in their lives. Pucci, who believed that such knowledge of one's fate would bring all people happiness, proceeds to hunt down Emporio to ensure that the future does not change. As he is about to kill Emporio, he inadvertently helps Emporio insert Weather Report's Stand Disc, which he had been carrying since Weather's death. Using Weather Report's Stand, Emporio suffocates Pucci to death, which resets the universe again.
Within the new parallel universe, Emporio meets a young woman who looks identical to Hermes, and a couple in a car who look similar to Jolyne and Anasui introduce themselves as Irene and Anakis. They offer Emporio and the new Hermes a ride as they head to see Irene's father. Irene pushes Anakis to pick up another hitchhiker who bears a striking resemblance to Weather Report as they drive off in the rain.
Reception
Kono Manga ga Sugoi! recommended the series, and called Jolyne a distinctive character within the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise.[2] In a 2015 poll on Charapedia, Japanese readers ranked Stone Ocean as having the seventeenth most shocking ending of all time in manga and anime.[3]
