The fourteenth Stone Ocean episode drops Jolyne and Ermes into a prison burial vault where a supposedly dead foe returns as an unseen horror. Ermes gambles her own safety to strike back, while Jolyne pays a steep price and is hauled off toward solitary confinement.
Summary
This installment is the fourteenth chapter of Stone Ocean and the one hundred sixty sixth episode counted across the whole animated run, adapting four issues of the source manga. Once Foo Fighters finishes off the alligator, Ermes Costello and Jolyne Cujoh piece together an ugly truth. Sports Maxx never stayed dead. His drowned body gave rise to an invisible undead form powered by Limp Bizkit, and he slipped out of the pipe to hunt the two women down.
Key Events
Maxx draws the pair into the mausoleum of Green Dolphin Street Prison and raises a crowd of long buried inmates, motivated by a grudge against Ermes for having killed him once before. Instead of dodging, Ermes lets the blows land on purpose so that Kiss can pin down exactly where her hidden attacker stands. He tears a piece from her skull, yet she wipes him out entirely before collapsing from the injury. Jolyne then replays his memories using the recovered discs.
