Dio's bone

The term DIO's Bone (DIOの骨 DIO no Hone) refers to a bone belonging to DIO, entrusted to Enrico Pucci before the events of Stone Ocean.

Summary

After Pucci enlists Sports Maxx's power to bring it back to life, the bone becomes infectious. Anyone who touched it would mutate, slowly germinating until becoming a sort of plant.

Thirty-six convicts of Green Dolphin Street Prison were infected by the bone, and the nutrients they absorbed from sunlight eventually formed a baby-like creature referred to as the Green Baby.

The Green Baby then sought out Pucci, and, upon finding him, fused with his Stand in order to create C-Moon.

Notes

• It should be noted that even though it is considered DIO's bone, it is actually a bone from the body of Jonathan Joestar, whose body he stole, replacing Jonathan's head with his own head, at the end of Phantom Blood.
• According to the rules established in Part 3, it is because of this that the Green Baby, and later on Enrico Pucci and his twin brother Weather Report each receive the Joestar Birthmark on the back of their necks.
• The bone's particular shape and the presence of two round eminences (corresponding to the so-called sesamoid bones) indicate that it's DIO's first metatarsal bone, i.e. one of the bones within the foot behind the big toe.
