SO Episode 32

Heavy Weather, Part 3 (ヘビー・ウェザー その③) is the thirty-second episode of Stone Ocean and the one-hundred-eighty-fourth episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime. The episode covers from Chapter 133 to Chapter 137 of the original manga.

As Jolyne, Ermes, Emporio, and Versus pursue them, Weather Report and Narciso Anasui enter a duel to the death with Enrico Pucci, who alone knows the secret behind Heavy Weather.

Summary
As Donatello drives the car with Jolyne, Ermes, and Emporio, Ermes holds him in a chokehold and tells him to drive straight. Jolyne interrupts, saying that she can feel Weather Report's presence close to Pucci's.

Meanwhile, Anasui is forcibly asking Weather Report what is going on. He explains to him that the sudden appearance of snails with humans turning into the mollusks have happened before in 1988. He then expresses his guilt for turning everyone into snails. After hearing this, Anasui starts to get mad saying that Jolyne better not have turned into a snail. Weather theorizes that touching the snails begins the human's metamorphosis into a snail. He exclaims that his sole purpose in life is to settle the score with Pucci.

Weather Report uses his Stand, to check the airflow to see if Pucci is nearby. Anasui tells him that they should also check the cars to make sure the priest isn't hiding inside. Weather agrees and Anasui makes a hand gesture to approach the car. As Weather walks up to the car, his leg is cut off clean. Pucci then starts to rise from under a pile of snails where he was hiding, saying that in 1988 he had overcome the power of the Stand where he won't turn into a snail. Anasui starts to rush at him, but Pucci moves to the side, showing a reflection of a rainbow created by Weather Report.

Pucci explains how Weather will be the one to help him get to heaven - cutting his leg off will let him live long enough to remove everyone in his way. When he turns around, a drop of blood lands on his cheek. As he looks up, he finds Weather Report jumping in the air; Anasui had submerged Diver Down into his body to give him a leg to stand on.

Weather raises his fist to punch Pucci, but the latter uses Whitesnake to block the punch. Before the punch lands, Weather turns his Stand's fist into a sharp blade, piercing Whitesnake and Pucci and sending them flying. Anasui exclaims that he should grab Pucci and blow him away with a gust of wind. However, Pucci uses a flash shard to reflect the light onto Anasui. This turns him into a snail, making him weak and unable to keep Diver Down submerged in Weather Report.

Pucci explains that the way Heavy Weather works is through the human subconscious - when Weather Report did the same thing in their hometown, a blind lady wasn't turning into a snail because she was blind due to her subconscious being unaffected by the Stand's ability. Anasui tries to punch him with Diver Down but gets countered with a blow to the head from Whitesnake. Pucci then yells "you shall be crucified", raising Whitesnake's arm to chop Weather Report. All of a sudden, blood starts to rise from the puddles and hardens into spikes. Anasui realizes that Weather is using his Stand to conjure a cold breeze to cool them into sharp projectiles.

Pucci then uses Whitesnake to mind control Anasui, allowing him to be his eyes, by putting his hand on his neck to guide him away from the spikes. Weather creates another spike from the blood on his shoulder which digs into his neck. He backs up in pain, stepping on another spike of blood as Weather increases the air pressure around him. Pucci sends out Whitesnake to punch the blood spikes in Weather's direction to make him dodge and move the air pressure chamber. Instead of dodging, Weather takes the hit and lets the spikes pierce him so he could freeze up the blood from Pucci creating a tie that connects the two. Weather yanks the blood tie to pull Pucci closer to him.

Memories of Perla and past trauma come back to Weather. This makes him more enraged at Pucci. He summons his Stand to punch Pucci in the stomach with all his might, creating a big cloud around them. As the cloud settles, Weather has Pucci in a chokehold on the ground.

Right as Weather is about to punch Pucci, the car with Jolyne, Ermes, Emporio, and Donatello comes crashing through. Jolyne gets out of the car to find Weather and sees Pucci's silhouette in a dust cloud. As the dust settles, she locks her eyes on Pucci and ties her Stand's string around the back tire of the car. She presses on the gas to spin the tire and launches it at Pucci. Unfortunately, she doesn't reach him in time - Pucci punches a gaping hole through Weather's chest.

In a fit of rage, Jolyne attempts to land a punch on Pucci but Anasui stops her. He explains that it wasn't the real Pucci, and he was able to insert a disc into Donatello to make him dig up the memory of Pucci killing Weather to fool them. The gang pays their respects to Weather as they all grieve.
