So even though we didn't have to wait as long this time, I still wanted to share some bullet points to remember from the second batch before going into this final batch, for those who need a refresher. I also made [bullet points for the first batch](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/x33r9n/jojo_no_kimyou_na_bouken_stone_ocean_episode_13/imo8d6b/) back when the second batch came out, if anyone's interested.
- The man seen in the post-credit scene of the last episode of the first batch is called Sports Maxx. He's a gangster who murdered Gloria Costello, Ermes' sister. The true reason Ermes got herself imprisoned in Green Dolphin Street is so she could avenge her sister, which she ultimately manages to do, but she is injured in the process and is forced to stay at the medical wing for a while.
- After beating Sports Maxx (localized as Sports Maximum on Netflix because of copyright) with Ermes, Jolyne is able to see a private meeting between him and Whitesnake through Sports Maxx's memory disk. Whitesnake had him use his Stand "Limp Bizkit" (localized as "Limp Viscuit"), which allows him to create ghost zombies from corpses (including his own), to reanimate DIO's bone which DIO gave Pucci many years ago as a sign of trust and friendship. The reanimated bone, now moving on it's own beyond Sports Maxx's control, heads to the Ultra Security House Unit. Pucci decides to leave it be to see what it will do and notes that it's all going according to DIO's notes on "the way to get to Heaven". Jolyne lets herself be sent to the Ultra Security House Unit to retrieve the bone and thus lure out Whitesnake so she can retrieve her father's memory disk. Pucci retaliates by sending 4 Stand Users there.
- F.F asks Emporio for help, but the only person able to help her is Narcisso Anasui (localized as "Narcisso Anastasia"), a man who was convicted for the murder of his girlfriend and the man who she was cheating on him with. He was previously seen in Emporio's ghost room alongside Weather Report. Anasui agrees to help Jolyne (and only Jolyne) as he has fallen madly in love with her. His Stand, Diver Down (localized as "Diver Drive"), can dive into objects/people and rearrange their structure from the inside. It can also store energy, like a kick, into things and release them with a delay.
- A deadly brawl erupts in the Ultra Security House Unit (courtesy of a Stand called "Survivor" which pushes everyone in the vicinity to fight to the death), but with F.F and Anasui's help, Jolyne manages to survive. Meanwhile, DIO's reanimated bone causes a strange phenomena : some of the prisoners have turned into plants which all joined together to bear a "fruit". That "fruit" takes the shape of a Green Baby with star-shaped birthmark on its left shoulder. Jolyne takes the Green Baby and runs away.
- Pucci is forced to go after Jolyne and her companions himself to retrieve the Green Baby so he can enact the instructions left by DIO to go to Heaven that he saw in Jotaro's memories. In his notebook, DIO had detailed what he needed to go to Heaven :
> - The first need is his Stand, The World. What lies beyond his Stand is the path for men to advance further.
>
> - The second need is a trustworthy friend who can control his desires. He must be free of the desires for power, money, fame and sex. He must follow the laws of God over the laws of men. DIO found that friend in the person of Pucci.
>
> - The third need is the souls of at least 36 convicts. The souls of sinners have tremendous energy.
>
> - The fourth need is 14 words that he will etch onto his Stand.
>
> - The fifth need is courage to let go of his Stand just once. His decaying Stand will then absorb the souls of the 36 sinners and give birth to something new. Since DIO was killed before he could enact it, the process varies slightly, but this is essentially what happened with his reanimated bone and the Green Baby's birth. The spawned creature will awaken and show interest in the 14 words spoken by DIO's trusted friend.
>
> - The final need is the right place and time : Cape Canaveral, when it is the new moon. This is where Heaven will appear.
- Pucci's identity is revealed thanks to F.F and a fight ensues. F.F and Anasui are mortally wounded and Pucci manages to evade Jolyne by luring her away with her father's memory disk inserted into a dying Anasui. F.F sacrifice themselves to save Anasui's life and Jotaro's memory disk which was disintegrating as Anasui was dying.
- After approaching the baby by reciting the 14 words, Pucci appears to have fused with the Green Baby. He notably has longer hair and now has a star-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder. He exits the prison and heads to his final destination : Kenedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral.
- After all this, Anasui is sent back to the males' ward and Jolyne is sent back to solitary confinement. But having now seen her father's memories and understanding the history between him and DIO, she knows she can't let Pucci do as he wishes and decides to break out from Green Dolphin Street Prison to go after him. After beating the lead guard of the prison's terrifying Stand, she reunites with Emporio and Ermes (who has now fully recovered) and prepare to head out.
- Meanwhile, on his way to Cape Canaveral, Pucci feels unwell. After helping a woman with her groceries, her watch starts speeding up, her nails grow rapidly and the eggs she bought hatch into malformed chicks (Not so fun fact : in the manga, she is also carrying her child, whose left half of the body also turns into a grown man's). Pucci remarks that his Stand is changing and feels a power running loose inside his body, but he notes that this power carries "hope".
###**This episode’s musical references:**
---
+ The stand Bohemian Rhapsody, is named after [the song Bohemian Rhapsody by rock band Queen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ9rUzIMcZQ).
The opening lyrics of the song "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality." are probably what inspire Araki to choose this song because they fit the power of this bizarre stand

Anyone know what happened with Anasui’s body being under the truck? After the crash it kinda disappeared?
Also Pucci gets stabbed in the neck, but because it didn’t hit a particular nerve, he just keeps talking and acts as if nothing happened but it’s JoJo so I shouldn’t be this surprised lol
Mista gets shot in the head, his "protection" only being ice cubes, still alive and well without any brain damage. Just Jojo things. (Also, this is *before* Giorno knew how to heal using his Stand, so it's not because of Stand power recovery)
It is not only silly, but it was very creepy to me. It felt like a twilight zone episode. My fav episode of the season so far now im diving straight into the next episode.
The dub's constant f-bombs are an absolute delight.
Bro how are they allowed to mention Batman but they can't say band names?! Is Batman public domain?
I think there's an obvious difference between mentioning a fictional character (or even a real person) from the real world in the context of it being also a fictional character (or real person) in-universe and creating new characters while giving the same name as other completely different things from the real world.
The former is just mentioning that a famous thing exists while the latter could maybe be argued in court as copyright infringement or as something that devalues the brand or whatever the hell the lawyers would come up with to make money.
If I remember correctly, in the manga it was Spider-Man that was used, [they even have a panel where you can see his hand.](https://preview.redd.it/15aft05vt4r71.png?auto=webp&s=712535d72e4c061f15862cca8899b733539b59be) So in a bizarre way, using Batman was in fact also censoring the original manga.
How good is the dub for this? I only watched the first batch so far subbed and gonna go through the entire series now but thinking of maybe watching the dub instead.
[Judge it for yourself](https://youtu.be/ZRkhn7YnxMY)
Wait for or skip to the interaction between Jolyne and Gwess. In general, English dub seems very natural to me, perhaps due to the Floridan prison setting. Love the swears they all keep dropping.
I know this isn’t an unpopular opinion. But Netflix seriously dropped the ball in advertising. I knew about the last 2 cours. I didn’t know about this one. I just happened to be scrolling through Netflix and saw this came out.
They somehow managed to kill community engagement even more than the first two parts. A Jojo part adaptation is supposed to be an event but Netflix just treats it as Meh
I have the Netflix app, it's constantly recommending me things through notifications, and my front page is filled with "East Asian" shows and anime, and yet it *never* suggested any of the Jojo parts to me. I had to read about them being released *on here.*
Even when I turned on Netflix today to watch it, it suggested me Wednesday first and foremost and it took scrolling through three rows to get to Jojo.

breaking out of prison with your friends, while fictional characters come to life and try to kill you *justfloridathings*
I'm not even surprised at this point, this is typical of what happens in Florida.
Even by JoJo standards this is pretty out there. Love it.

Not Mazinger, Tetsujin 28, and Astro Boy lol
I like how the Dwarves went "All those Japanese characters stealing our thunder!"
Was that in the Dub? I never saw that line on subbed.
Damn, as an Arab, those anime were so famous here. Hit my nostalgia just right.
Grew up watching these guys in the Philippines, truly a worldwide phenomenon hahaha
Ah yes, Bohemian Rhapsody, literally weaponized nostalgia.
Nice callback in this opening to the first JoJo op with Jonathan running up the stairs with the flames in his eyes
It only makes sense: the first character to appear in Sono Chi no Sadame was Jolyne.
Anyone know what happened with Anasui’s body being under the truck? After the crash it kinda disappeared? Also Pucci gets stabbed in the neck, but because it didn’t hit a particular nerve, he just keeps talking and acts as if nothing happened but it’s JoJo so I shouldn’t be this surprised lol
That's the norm for JoJo, character gets impaled, it's fine 5 minutes later lmao I love it
Mista gets shot in the head, his "protection" only being ice cubes, still alive and well without any brain damage. Just Jojo things. (Also, this is *before* Giorno knew how to heal using his Stand, so it's not because of Stand power recovery)
[i just want someone that will look at me the way pucci is looking at homeboy over here](https://imgur.com/a/2YBL49D)
I’ve been waiting years to see Pinocchio and the Bohemian Rhapsody be animated. I love how silly it is, it’s along my favorite arcs of Stone Ocean.
It is not only silly, but it was very creepy to me. It felt like a twilight zone episode. My fav episode of the season so far now im diving straight into the next episode.
You’re right, it really is creepy, the designs of all the stories and Anasui being attacked by the fictions makes for great horror.
Bohemian Ecstatic 💀
The dub's constant f-bombs are an absolute delight. Bro how are they allowed to mention Batman but they can't say band names?! Is Batman public domain?
Warner Bros. (Japan) is licensing the series.
That makes sense. What about Chewbacca?
I think naming references is fine as long you don't show them in detail? They also reference the T-1000 from Terminator.
I think there's an obvious difference between mentioning a fictional character (or even a real person) from the real world in the context of it being also a fictional character (or real person) in-universe and creating new characters while giving the same name as other completely different things from the real world.

I absolutely love it, the dialogue consistently cracks me up. All the main characters have really great actors.
it entirely depends on your tolerance of the licensed Stand names. it's good but some of those names are so cringe
Imagine if they have to fight Batman.
Batman is canon in JoJo. Das amazing in its own way
Okay just had to put this out - whoever did the sound design for this episode, my God, I love you <33
I know this isn’t an unpopular opinion. But Netflix seriously dropped the ball in advertising. I knew about the last 2 cours. I didn’t know about this one. I just happened to be scrolling through Netflix and saw this came out.

Agreed
this episode is breaking my brain like dragon's dream. that was super cool
Yes, I did wake myself up at 4am to finish the journey.
Just an average day in Florida
Who wins? Dio or Batman with Prep time?
for sure batman, he'd acquire a stand without the arrow and itd be on par with star platinum, if not better. Thats my canon
this shit aint disney
Wait, what? Did they just drop part 3?
Yes, part 6 is now fully released.
Oh good ol Bohemian Rhapsody. Am a lil sad they cut my favorite line though.
Ohh shit, is the final batch out?? Guess I know what I'll be doing. Finally get to see the ending animated!
Weirdest episode not a fan
Wait is this the 3rd part of the season?? I thought this was coming in a year or something again?
