Stone Ocean - Episode 26
Bohemian Rhapsody, Part 2 (
Having been separated from his body by Bohemian Rhapsody, Anasui's soul is dragged into the story of a fairy tale, with himself as the villain. Weather Report, who soon finds himself separated as well, must somehow defeat the enemy Stand user before his and Anasui's own stories come to an untimely end.
Summary
The battle against Bohemian Rhapsody continues. In a nearby town, Weather Report tries to find the enemy. He is puzzled because he feels the enemy is going away from him whereas they should get close to attack. Meanwhile, Narciso Anasui's soul is running across town to reunite with his defenseless body before it is hurt. He spots his body, but the body flees at the sight of the police, forcing Anasui to run after him.
Anasui's soul runs across the streets, bumping against a boy overjoyed to see Batman. He spots Weather but has no time to join him and entrusts to him the task of finding the enemy. Anasui loses sight of his body. Suddenly, a shopkeeper accuses him of being a vandal because he's broken the glass counter. The shopkeeper thus locks his door and calls the police. Guessing what happened, Anasui tries to enquire about his body and tries to bribe the shopkeeper with some money that Diver Down stole from the man's own cash register. Suddenly, the police arrives, one officer holding a photo of Anasui himself as the unit is searching for the escaped prisoners. Anasui spots the body fleeing behind the shop and is forced to turn, but Anasui has modified his face by filling his head with chocolates. Allowed to leave, Anasui runs after his body. Incidentally, a TV broadcast announces that Kenshiro and Raoh have battled in Tokyo, ravaging the city, but that Kenshiro prevailed. Anasui arrives in an alley and sees the shopkeeper who's turned into the prince charming and is riding away with Snow White in his arms and the Seven Dwarfs celebrating around him, declaring it is "like in the story". Anasui suddenly sees a clock besides him which he quickly breaks, sensing it is a threat. However, a small deformed goat appears and accuses him of having devouring his brother. Anasui indeed sees the corpses of several goats from the chocolates he's spat out. The small goat reads the tale of "The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats," ominously shouting how the Wolf ended up being eviscerated and drowned in a lake. Angered, Anasui is shocked to see himself turn into The Big Bad Wolf of the story and realizes that his soul was the target all along, having now been dragged into a story that will kill him.
Meanwhile, Weather Report crosses path with a man asking the way to the asylum of Saint-Rémi. The man, who reveals himself as Van Gogh's Self-Portrait which he made just after cutting his ear with a razor, asks if Weather isn't moved by his art, and indeed, Weather's soul and body split. Meanwhile, Anasui's misadventures continue. He sees a shadow lurking in the dark alley holding a pair of scissors and hears the sound of snapping. As the goats inside of Anasui's stomach call for help, Mother Goat appears and tries to cut into his belly.
A TV broadcast shows that Bohemian Rhapsody's power is affecting the entire world. Weather realizes that the enemy Stand is practically invincible. He still feels the user getting away from him to the North as Van-Gogh's Self-Portrait asks him if he knows how much self-portrait Van Gogh made during his life. Weather angrily takes the razor from the portrait's hand to threaten him, but it turns into a paintbrush and Weather starts to turn into a portrait too. The portrait menacingly narrates how Van Gogh cut off his ear and committed suicide by shooting himself, and the same things happen to Weather, the paintbrush turning into a gun that shoots a bullet right into Weather's head. However, the self-portrait adds that Van Gogh shot himself twice before dying. Desperate to avoid his announced death, Weather summons his Stand to try and stop all the cars from the highway to continue going North. At the same time, Anasui is fleeing from Mother Goat back into the shop. He fuses the door to the wall, but the door itself unfolds like a book and lets Mother Goat through. Diver Down tries to crush Mother Goat with a punch, but she simply folds like paper and counterattacks. She cuts Anasui's belly, freeing the goats "just like in the story". Panicking, Anasui jumps through the window and hangs himself in the back of a car, which turns out to be the same patrol car of the policemen from earlier. As soon as he tries to open the door, it opens like a book and from it appear the goats, who cut into his stomach and fill him with rocks.
Weather feels that the enemy hasn't been stopped and realizes that they are actually in the sky. Indeed, Ungalo has boarded a passenger plane. Last night, Enrico Pucci has talked to DIO's three sons and tells them that they were chosen to protect him. In the present, inside the plane, Ungalo reminisces his pathetic life and is overjoyed to have found his power and goal in life, enjoying the chaos he's creating across the world. Meanwhile, Weather despairs because he cannot hope to affect the plane with his ability. Wary about the gun left on the floor, Weather tries to flee, but he incidentally bumps into Anasui. Falling on the ground, Weather is shot a second time while Anasui's arm melts and he drowns in his own flesh. However, Weather grabs Van Gogh's Self Portrait. Back in the plane, Ungalo is shocked to see Aladdin and the Genie back on the cover of a child's book. In truth, Weather has forced Van Gogh to create a character for him, Put Back, a hero whose sole goal is to return the fictional characters back to where they belong. This allows Weather and Anasui to survive the ordeal. His powers cancelled, Ungalo becomes catatonic from sheer despair.
Somewhere else, Romeo returns to his mansion only to meet Jolyne. Jolyne orders Romeo not to run for the phone, and Romeo tries to explain how much he's regretted framing Jolyne for his crime. Holding Romeo by the cheeks, Jolyne finds Romeo pathetic and tells him she hasn't a grudge against him. She asks him for some cash and a vehicle to go North, and also tells him not to tell anything to the police. Jolyne then disappears from Romeo's sight. Outside, Jolyne joins with Emporio and Ermes. Holding a copy of Romeo's tongue created with a sticker from Kiss, Jolyne sees that Romeo is calling the police. Ermes suggests taking the sticker out to split his tongue, but Jolyne and Ermes hear that Romeo is misleading the police. Moreover, Emporio has discovered that Romeo has actually given them the keys to a helicopter. Moved by Romeo's genuine contrition, Jolyne nonetheless takes the sticker away, as a precaution.
In Orlando, at the hospital, one of DIO's sons named Rikiel asks Pucci for help about his dropping eyelid.

Manga/Anime Differences
- Similar to the previous episode, the cars depicted outside differ from what the manga shows and appear to be updated for the time period.
- Anasui's soul searching for and chasing his body is expanded and altered:
- A scene of Anasui's soul riding in a car is added, explaining how he caught up to Weather Report and his own body.
- Anasui's soul now notices his body on the street and begins to chase it, as opposed to the manga where he stumbles upon the chocolate store owner and realizes his body was there.
- A scene of Anasui's body running away from police cars is added, instead of merely being mentioned by Anasui's soul while he is in the chocolate store.
- Spider-Man is replaced with Batman, and his hands are omitted. The situation also has some minute differences, including:
- The kid no longer climbing a ladder and having no branding on his clothes.
- A smaller number of civilians (4 in the manga versus 2 in the anime).
- One of the civilians lines is cut.
- Anasui no longer telling them to move out of the way.
- A "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"-themed poster is added to the inside of the chocolate store. The characters are missing, foreshadowing the clerk's fate. Some destruction caused by Anasui's body can be seen on the floor before the clerk explains the situation.
- Some of the clerk's dialogue is removed, including the mention of kids, the display cases being broken and closing the store for the day.
- Anasui no longer mentions having dropped some chocolates on the floor.
- The clerk goes missing after Anasui injects chocolate into his face, as opposed to still being there like in the manga. As such Anasui, no longers asks him if his body is in the back. One of the police officers also has an extra line wondering where the clerk went.
- The chocolate Anasui spits out is shown to be normal chocolate, not parts of the seven young goats like in the manga.
- A couple of details in the television report are skipped:
- Raoh is not stated to have killed other characters.
- The specific time in Japan is not mentioned.
- The scene with the transformed clerk is shown before Anasui's interaction with the youngest goat. Anasui now identifies him as the clerk and reacts to the dwarves mention of events going according to the story.
- Anasui wondering who's inside the clock is removed.
- A trash can is added near the clock, with the "The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats" book on top. The book is also shown flying off when Anasui attacks the clock.
- Anasui steals the book from the youngest goat and begins transforming immediately after, as opposed to the manga where his attempts to steal the book happen after the transformation had already begun. He no longer attacks the youngest goat with Diver Down.
- Some of Anasui's thoughts before being attacked by the mother goat are removed.
- Some of the journalist's lines are cut, including mention of copyright and ownership problems and the situation being comparable to a war.
- The Birth of Venus's title character is not seen. Instead, the painting with missing characters is shown, followed by the Mona Lisa.
- Weather Report thinking about how Jolyne is currently being attacked is cut.
- The dwarves mentioning that Anasui killed the Little Red Riding Hood's wolf and how that's according to the story is cut.
- The question Van Gogh asks Weather is no longer presented with multiple choices, and the answer is changed from 40-45 to about 40 self-portraits.
- The Unit 6 Policemen met by Anasui are under Bohemian Rhapsody's influence in the car, the driver is turned into Heracles and the other into the Girl with a Pearl Earring.
- Peter Pan and Tinker Bell are replaced with Aladdin and the Genie.
- Van Gogh telling Weather that he is too afraid to go near the pistol in response to being threatened by him is omitted.
- The final report mentions the Mona Lisa, Batman, and Tweety instead of the Venus, Spider-Man, and Snoopy.
