{{Nihongo|'''Sky High'''|スカイ・ハイ|Sukai Hai}} is the twenty-seventh27th episode of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean|Stone Ocean]]'' and the one-hundred-seventy-ninth179th episode of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation]]''. The episode covers from [[SO Chapter 112|Chapter 112]] to [[SO Chapter 117|Chapter 117]] of the original [[Stone Ocean|manga]].

Eight hours before Weather Report and Anasui escape prison, Jolyne, Ermes, and Emporio are attacked by a mysterious group of [[Rods|rod-shaped organisms]]. The trio soon confront the Stand user controlling the rods, [[Rikiel]], who is prepared to protect [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]] at any cost.

Suddenly, something flies into the cockpit of the helicopter. Several things enter the helicopter and Ermes can barely see them pass, and those things cause Emporio's eyelids to drop. Ermes herself is forced to close her eyes and Jolyne's eyes also begin to bleed as the helicopter starts to drop in altitude. Blinded, Emporio cannot activate the automatic flight system. Forcing her eyes open, Jolyne sees that something is attacking them and deploys a net inside of the helicopter. Unfortunately, the enemy is able to fly between the strings. Unable to track the enemy, Jolyne decides to grab everyone and jump from the helicopter. Ermes is shocked but she then sees the enemy, a strange rod-like organism, following them. Since their relative speed are equal, Ermes is able to summon [[Kiss]] and tell it to destroy this "rod" with a punch. However, it turns out there is a whole swarm of rods. Jolyne hangs to the helicopter to slow everyone's fall and they safely land on water. Holding the corpse of the rod, Ermes realizes that it is some strange living being and not a Stand. Emporio feels that it is familiar but cannot recall what it is for now. The conversation is interrupted when the real enemy, [[Rikiel]], arrives on his bike.

Before Ermes can take her stickers from the stones, Rikiel somehow makes it so Ermes breaks her finger. Rikiel is able to move his bike and proceeds to explain how the {{W|Apollo 11}} space mission represented the advancement of the human spirit. His confidence at an all-time high, Rikiel induces all kinds of ailments like making Ermes's hand rot and make Emporio urinate blood. Rikiel even immobilizes Ermes's legs and declares that he'll kill all the heroes to protect Pucci.
