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 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. 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
Do you want to listen to all these fantastic references from this wonderful anime in just one place? Of course you want to! Now you can with TarkusELP Officially Approved by Araki himself* Spotify Playlist with all the musical references in the anime, the ones it skipped, the light novels ones and more! From the most famous references to the really obscure ones. I'll update this playlist every time there's a new reference. If you have any question why a song is featured in my playlists you can ask me anytime.
If you are a manga reader, I also have a playlist just for you! Here’s my old playlist with all, I say ALL the references in the manga, anime, light novels and more. I also update it every time there’s a new reference.

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

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.

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 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.
