Heaven's falling down

"Heaven's falling down" is the second opening theme song of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean and the eleventh overall opening theme of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation as a whole. The song is performed by sana (sajou no hana), with lyrics by Shoko Fujibayashi and composition by Yugo Kanno. The opening animation sequence was produced by Kamikaze Douga.

Opening Animation
The opening begins with Jolyne standing in front of the night sky with her back turned. As she turns around, it transitions to her father Jotaro, who summons Star Platinum to do a punch barrage against The World. The World then cracks as light shines through it. Star Platinum punches through the rubble and it zooms out to reveal the Stand on the reflection of a DISC. Savage Garden carries the DISC away and flies off into the sky. The scene pans diagonally downward to Romeo's car in the rainstorm. It quickly shows the back of his car, then Romeo holding the bloodied hitchhiker, and then a side view of Jolyne standing in shock by the car.

The scene cross dissolves into a black and white shot of Jotaro visiting Jolyne in the meeting room. Jolyne's stone pendant and hand appears on the center of the screen, transparent. The pendant falls onto her hand and she grasps it. More of Jolyne's body is revealed as it shows a frontal view of her holding the stone pendant with butterflies, her tattoo, and stars on her body. Meanwhile, the background transitions to Jotaro affected by Whitesnake's "Melt Your Heart" ability. Fully visible, the locket is open to reveal the photo of Jotaro and Jolyne's mother, which Jolyne tearfully looks at. Jotaro is shown sitting in bed, being treated by the Speedwagon Foundation. It fades back to Jolyne with a shot of her back and the Joestar Birthmark visible. She holds the pendant to her chest and turns around, looking at a light in the sky.

The center of the screen flashes with the effect of a CRT TV turning on, opening up to reveal a transparent Ermes with Kiss's stickers overlaid on her. The background is black and white with Sports Maxx torturing a man by a car. Kiss appears behind Ermes as the background wipes to Gloria Costello's corpse in the sea. Kiss starts punching while Ermes screams, leaving the screen for a transparent Anasui with wheels on his body to emerge after. Anasui poses while the black and white background shows his ex-girlfriend in bed having an affair. The background shifts to wheels and various items that Anasui took apart when he was younger, while a transparent Diver Down appears behind him. Anasui then runs off the screen and a transparent Emporio appears with a baseball and baseball glove pattern on his body. He throws a baseball up while the background shows his mother's skeleton. A transparent Weather Report springs up with clouds on his body and the background also covered in clouds. The scene distorts and squeezes downward with another flash, resembling a TV turning off.

Ermes, Emporio, Anasui, and Weather are now all by Jolyne's side, looking at the lone light in the sky. A close-up of Enrico Pucci's face zooms out to a frontal view with Whitesnake as well as silhouettes of DIO's sons (Ungalo, Rikiel, and Donatello Versus) in front of him. At Kennedy Space Center, a clock zooms outward and rotates upside down as Jolyne falls upward. She spins around and leaps toward a bright sky. The clouds shoot past to reveal the sun and Jolyne jumps downward with Stone Free punching. Ermes and Kiss do a diagonal kick downwards as Anasui and Weather each appear afterwards with their Stands. Emporio shoots his ghost gun with a panicked expression as cars and various other objects are floating in the background. The scene pans downward to Pucci looking up with DIO's shadow beneath him.

The scene fades to the wetlands where F.F. spins and flies up to the clouds. Finally, Jolyne confronts Pucci, as it shows her feet stepping in water. Pucci turns around as Whitesnake prepares to battle. Jolyne also readies herself and summons Stone Free. She and her Stand calmly walk forward before starting to dash. Dark Determination is visible in her eyes and she punches the screen. The Stone Ocean logo is overlaid on the imprint of her punch and snail shells can be seen on the bottom.

Version 2 (Stone Ocean 38)
In the final episode of Stone Ocean, the opening animation is significantly changed.

During the shots where Weather Report's silhouette is visible, the background is now revealed, showing the death of Perla.

Later, the frontal view of Pucci and DIO's sons now has everyone being revealed. As the shot transitions to the courtyard, the clock is now running at an accelerated pace. Suddenly, time stops and Jotaro Kujo appears with Star Platinum, the latter preparing to punch towards the screen. However, time resumes and we see that Jotaro is surprised as Pucci suddenly appears to confront him.

The scene changes to the very start of the opening animation of Sono Chi no Sadame, showing all the manga panels featuring the JoJos appearing in quick succession until Jolyne appears in the staircase of the first opening of the series. Pucci appears as well, posing alongside Made in Heaven, and accelerates time. The background crumbles and the scene shifts to a shot of all the JoJos posing in front of an abstract background, a thread going around several of the key items of the series from the Stone Mask to the Arrow. The scene goes back to the staircase. As the camera rotates and flies upwards, the view catches up on Jolyne and Pucci confronting each other with their respective Stands out and a fiery aura surrounding them. Stone Free thus launches a punch towards Pucci and the camera flies up again as the staircase disintegrates and everything disappears in a flash of light.

Finally the "Stone Ocean" title appears with a brief flash in front of a cosmic background, and the pendant appears then falls. Several clouds appear and the scene ends in a shot of the road on which Emporio meets Irene.
