Synopsis

In Florida, 2011, Jolyne Kuujou sits in a jail cell like her father, Joutarou, once did; yet this situation is not of her own choice. Framed for a crime she did not commit and manipulated into serving a longer sentence, Jolyne is ready to resign to a dire fate as a prisoner of Green Dolphin Street Jail. Though all hope seems lost, a gift from Joutarou ends up awakening her latent abilities, manifesting into her Stand, Stone Free. Now armed with the power to change her fate, Jolyne sets out to find an escape from the stone ocean that holds her.

However, Jolyne soon discovers that her incarceration is merely a small part of a grand plot: one that not only takes aim at her family, but has additional far-reaching consequences. What is more, the mastermind is lurking within the very same prison, and is under the protection of a lineup of menacing Stand users. Finding unlikely allies to help her cause, Jolyne sets course to stop their plot, clear her name, and take back her life.

Part 6 is really a defining moment for the series as a whole.

Not only does it conclude all the parts before it, but it does it in a way that makes you wanna read part 7 immediatelly.

I'm not gonna lie, the main villain of this was not as interesting as all the others, but he definetively had that addicting resilience every good JoJo villain has.

Jolyne, on the other hand, struck me right at the beginning. her whole backstory is interesing, and the way she carries herself really reminded me of younger Joseph from part 2 of the story.

Her stand is also quite ...

THIS IS A SPOILER FREE REVIEW!

Stone ocean is in my opinion by far the worst JJBA part. This is because I expected a well made story, but instead I got non-stop action. I literally mean non-stop action. During the entire part(except for some chapter focusing on DIO) characters do nothing but fight. I also consider fights in this part to be the worst fights in all of JoJo. They were boring and almost never advanced the story. Main cast was good with fun characters. I liked the protagonist Jolyne Cujoh the most, but other characters were also interesting. Unfortunately, they don't get much spotlight. Antagonist ...

This review will contain spoilers

If I were to describe Stone Ocean in one word, that would be confused. To be more precise than one word, Stone Ocean feels like it doesn't know where it is going and what it wants while being forced to move in a direction. Though I may have given it a 2, I still found it to be worth reading, as I have finished it. But what good will I have towards this part is showered in complaints and confusion that made the whole 3 days journey I took reading this a very rocky road. But I can't be this vague, ... so I'm gonna try and compile my thoughts into something digestible, and maybe people that disagree with my stance can at least come to an understanding of my viewpoint.

So to start, I feel a story is based in the strength of it's characters. That doesn't mean that a good story needs good characters, but that is the lens of which the narrative is told. The triumph of Giorno in part 5 was only special because we saw all the hardship Buccellati's gang had to go through, as well as the connection made between them along the way. So in my opinion, the cast of Stone Ocean is really bad. Jolyne and friends don't really get to know each other, as much as they are around each other. Hermes is just a girl, and she killed Sports Max so thats the end of that development. I can't name a single thing unique to Emporio as a character other than that he is a child with the ghost room stand. Weather Report is kind of neat with his connection to Pucci and all. Annasui is just a simp for Jolyne, which is more interesting than Emporio and Hermes. Jolyne is not a good MC, as her motivation is very poorly defined, and she just left very little impression on me. The best character in part 6 is probably F.F., a microorganism gaining life and expanding her understanding of the world past Pucci's role for her was really cool, and her death is something I wished happened a little bit later so we would get more time to flesh her out. Jotaro is gone for almost the entire part which sucks, but I guess he's too OP. And Pucci is uh... ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Pucci sucks ass, in both implementation and execution. First he relies on Dio for motivation, which make it the second time Dio is used in some form in the big bad of the series. Now I could be biased in the fact that I have Stardust Crusaders and Phantom Blood as my least favorite JoJo parts, but even if I were to ignore that, it just makes Pucci boring. Diavolo and Kira were both interesting antagonists that challenged the protagonists in an interesting thematic way, which is something I cannot say for Pucci. Secondly, his whole plan is never clear until literally the last fucking chapter. So it starts with Jotaro's stand disc to find what was in Dio diary, then it changes to the green baby, which then becomes going to this Nasa place where gravity gets all weird, and then he resets the universe. It's all handled so messily as plot point sorta just converge until all our main guys are near Pucci and then they fight and its not earned in the slightest. Third, Dio's children are dumb and stupid. I don't think I need to explain this one, but even if you could, I just don't like them. In general, I feel the encounters with Pucci don't have any weight to them like the villain encounters did in other parts. Kira was hidden amongst the crowd of Morioh, keeping everyone alert after his reveal. Diavolo was known to be in the colosseum during Chariot Requiem. Pucci is just in the prison wandering around, theres no weight to his encounters, they just sorta happen, except during the fight with F.F.'s death which was actually pretty decent.

Speaking of which, the prison setting is just way too restrictive. I feel bribing guards and whatever can only happen so many times that your suspension of disbelief is going to be broken at some point. Like in any of the fights, were they at least caught on camera doing shit like jumping around in antigravity, or executing someone by throwing a baseball at them 1000 times, or when survivor turned the whole ultra security section into a battle royale. And the tight corridors is just too controlling when it comes to spacing and really hampers the grasp on any particular enemy.

I feel most of the fights suck in part 6, because it sorta has the part 3 problem of sorta just ending when our heroes find one solution to the problem, instead of having momentum swing back and forth like parts 2 and 5. I liked the ending that was neat, and uh thats it.

I think though the the one reason i was able to stick it out to the end though was the fact that it is JoJos. And not that it's part of a pre-existing saga, more of that it looks and feels like the parts of old. The body horror is absolutely fantastic, the stands are neat, the character designs are gorgeous. It's Jojo, through and through, and thats why I can't give it a 1, because it's still worth reading if you're into Jojo. But yeah I hope this was helpful see yah.
