SO Episode 34

C-Moon, Part 1 (CーMOON その①) is the thirty-fourth episode of Stone Ocean and the one-hundred-eighty-sixth episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime.

Jolyne struggles against Enrico Pucci's new Stand C-Moon, a combination of Whitesnake and the Green Baby, which can invert anything it touches.

Summary
Jolyne's arm continues to turn inside out from the power of C-Moon. Pucci, through the Stand, notices Emporio being the helper to everything that had happened, and it jumps to attack him. Jolyne attempts to defend with Stone Free but the sheer speed of C-Moon avoids all of her punches. When it appears behind her, she sends a barrage of attacks that misses, though it manages to hit Emporio's foot and her head before sending them flying backward. As Jolyne calls out to Anasui, they notice Emporio's shoe and her hair strand turning inside out. They realize that C-Moon affects an object's gravity — since gravity attracts matter towards its center, the Stand uses this cosmic law to alter and inverse everything it touches. Through this, Cape Canaveral's gravity was also altered. Despite seeming to be the combination of Whitesnake and The Green Baby, its powers are massively different, proving the Stand to be a much bigger threat.

When C-Moon goes to strike again, Jolyne throws Emporio toward Anasui. It misses some punches and she manages to send a kick toward its neck. However, the Stand locks its fists onto her shin. Jolyne's leg bloodily turns inside out as Emporio and Anasui scream out in terror, but she remains calm. Keeping the Stand's powers in mind, this meant that if it touches her again, she could revert her body back to normal. Anasui then tells Emporio to climb while he stays behind as her backup. A battle of punches and dodges ensues. C-Moon inverts the ticket booth they were standing on to trap Jolyne. Noticing its sudden change in stance, she notes that the Stand is a remote-controlled type due to its machine-like precision in its attacks. Not only that, but Pucci's omniscient presence assists with its precision as he can see the battle outside the center. C-Moon rips a few tiles to hit Anasui when he tries to punch it from behind with Diver Down. When Jolyne sends her strings to catch him, she wraps the ends onto the Stand's neck to choke it with his weight. It fumbles through its neck to turn the string inside out. Despite the risk, Jolyne is determined to beat C-Moon before her string is completely inversed.

Outside the space center, a rescue team of soldiers report that they cannot approach due to the tanks flipping upside down. The equipment of the helicopters overhead fails to work as they fly closer to the center.

Back in the battle, Jolyne leaps to strike C-Moon. It then uses its ability to turn the ticket booth's metal plating inside out and stand itself up. Distracting her by sending tiles to fall towards her, it grabs Stone Free's string and Emporio warns her to release it immediately. In a flash, Anasui submerges Diver Down into the rope to divert the string being inversed unto him in exchange. Unfortunately, Stone Free is unable to land a hand due to an invisible force.

Pucci appears and approaches her, narrating how to achieve happiness, humans must bear a curse and overcome fate. He has come to save his evolving Stand and, again, when Jolyne attacks him, an invisible force protects him. She begins to float away as Pucci becomes the center of gravity since gravity is reversed around him. He advises his Stand to turn her inside out only once on a vital area instead of her extremities. Noting this, the Stand rips the string apart and punches a clean hole through Jolyne's heart. Pucci returns inside the visitor center to continue his objective.

Seemingly dead, Jolyne flies off to the distance when Emporio receives a text through his phone — a sign from Jotaro Kujo. He tells him that he can sense his daughter in danger and requests that she is protected until he arrives. Emporio tells Anasui to look for her immediately, now assured that she is not yet dead. Pucci also senses this and runs back to settle the score. Anasui does the opposite and heads straight to Pucci, feeling that the only way to protect Jolyne is to kill him upfront.

At 11:44 AM, 36 hours and 16 minutes remain until the New Moon.
