Birth of the "Green" is the nineteenth episode of the Stone Ocean anime and the 171st of the wider series. Jolyne and her allies confront prisoners that sunlight is warping into plants, while DIO's bone gives rise to a strange green baby.
Summary
Jolyne Cujoh, Foo Fighters, and Narciso Anasui corner the prisoner carrying DIO's bone, and discover that sunlight has begun changing him and his fellow inmates into plants. Jolyne, whose own body is transforming, spots that the bone itself has turned into a green baby, and the trio grabs it. As they pull back, Anasui crosses paths with Guccio, wielder of the Stand Survivor.
Key Events
To stop D an G, the last remaining Stand user, from trailing them, Anasui warps Guccio into a living trap. D an G's own Stand, Yo-Yo Ma, then appears beside the group and swallows the green baby whole. Foo Fighters stays behind to handle D an G as Jolyne, Anasui, and the newly obedient Yo-Yo Ma slip away into the wetlands. The retreat sours when F.F.'s lower jaw starts to dissolve, proof that Yo-Yo Ma has quietly gone on the offensive.
