The twenty-first episode of Stone Ocean tracks two desperate struggles at once: Foo Fighters' doomed attempt to warn Jolyne about Pucci, and Jolyne and Anasui's effort to seize the Green Baby, whose Stand shrinks anyone who ventures near.
Summary
As Pucci moves to strip away their memories, Foo Fighters gives up Atroe's body to destroy D an G, wiping out Yo-Yo Ma in the process. F.F. then reaches for a faucet, hoping to use the water to warn Jolyne of Pucci's true identity, but Whitesnake heats the flow to a boil and disintegrates them before the message can pass. At the same time, Jolyne and Anasui try to reach the Green Baby, only to find themselves shrinking each time they close in, an effect of the infant's Stand, Green, Green Grass of Home. Anasui manages to seal the Stand inside a bottle, yet becomes trapped beneath its crushing weight. The assault finally stops when the baby notices the star-shaped Joestar birthmark on Jolyne's shoulder, though Anasui, sensing a sinister will behind it, resolves to kill the child.
Key Events
Foo Fighters sacrifices Atroe's body to eliminate D an G and Yo-Yo Ma. F.F.'s attempt to warn Jolyne through water is foiled when Whitesnake boils it away, destroying them. Jolyne and Anasui shrink as they approach the Green Baby due to Green, Green Grass of Home. Anasui bottles the Stand but is pinned by its weight. The baby halts its attack upon seeing the Joestar birthmark, and Anasui vows to kill it, sensing dark intent.
Notes
Released on September 1, 2022, the episode adapts chapters 679 through 684 of the manga. It opens with STONE OCEAN and closes on Distant Dreamer. The adaptation reshuffled several beats, moving the Green Baby's proper birth to just after D an G's death and adjusting the fight so the baby kicks the trapping bottle toward Jolyne rather than the Stand rolling it over.
