Enter the Foo Fighters (燃えよフー・ファイターズ, Moe yo Fū Faitāzu) is the eighteenth episode of Stone Ocean and the one-hundred-seventieth episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime. The episode covers Chapter 71 to Chapter 74 of the original manga.

The fight against Kenzou continues. F.F. is slowly but surely cornered by Kenzou's seemingly invincible ability. However, she has still a last trick to use against her opponent.

Summary

In a panicked state, Jolyne rushes to help F.F., but Anasui stops her as what has happened has already been decided. Kenzou confidently defies Jolyne and Anasui, but Jolyne points out that F.F. is still alive, albeit barely because she's running out of water. F.F. takes Kenzou by surprise when she shoots, wounding his arm in the process. Kenzou hastily retreats into his safe zone, allowing F.F. to think about a strategy. She thus thinks about creating a mirror out of water to misdirect Kenzou but she needs water to heal herself as well.

Meanwhile, Kenzou laments his fall since he was imprisoned but now rejoices as his powers will allow him to build another cult where he will be revered as a savior. Kenzou jumps in to attack and orders Dragon's Dream where to strike. He performs a flying kick but F.F. backflips out of danger. She then runs into a fire-extinguishing hose to collect water, pursued by Kenzou. Jolyne tells Anasui to help F.F. but Anasui refuses as he only wishes to protect Jolyne. F.F. reaches the hose and goes for the faucet but then Dragon's Dream appears, warning her that there is no time to drink. Kenzou leaps but surprisingly, F.F. plunges her arms into Dragon's Dream, losing both in the process. Kenzou kicks F.F. but she sneaks inside of the hose and opens the faucet. However, her own arms strike her, sending her flying away from the water.

F.F. is sent flying down the staircase at the centre of the hall. Jolyne wonders where it leads and Anasui tells her about the execution room downstairs, equipped with an electric chair. F.F. lands on the execution chair itself while the hose messes with the control board, starting a countdown to electrocution. Panicking, she seeks to escape but she catches her overalls' straps in a belt buckle, making her trip and sit on the chair. She can barely stand up when Kenzou arrives and shoots at Kenzou to distract him while she tries to run past him. Unfortunately, some of Kenzou's decorative ball bearings fall and make F.F. slip back into the chair. She attempts a desperate punch but Kenzou deflects it and kicks her back down into the chair as the countdown reaches zero.

The electric chair activates, frying F.F. as Kenzou gloats and plans on becoming a cult leader again. However, Dragon's Dream warns him about F.F., saying she managed to collect some water: Kenzou's own sweat. She's managed to create a mirror reflecting Dragon's Dream and misdirecting Kenzou into an unsafe spot and she's able to grab onto him, electrifying him as well. Both fighters suffer from the deadly electrocution. Jolyne lets herself fall down to save F.F., which surprises Anasui because she's still heavily wounded. Down here, Jolyne notices that Dragon's Dream is still there, meaning Kenzou is still alive albeit barely. Still, she prepares to fight and sends a pointy clump of strings at Kenzou, who avoids it and rushes at Jolyne. However, Jolyne has reached for a small spot of water where a bit of F.F. remains. Jolyne's string gets caught in Dragon's Dream, making Kenzou confident that she'll die from his next attack, but then Anasui intervenes.

Kenzou plunges his feet inside of Jolyne's throat to drown her and gloats but realizes that he's unusually high in the air and knocks his head on the top of the staircase. Confused, Kenzou orders Dragon's Dream to find him a lucky spot but he falls, only to bounce on the floor. It turns out that his legs are twisted in a strange way and now act like springs, making Kenzou unable to find his footing. Indeed, Anasui and his Diver Down, which was hidden inside of Jolyne's body, modified Kenzou's legs as soon as he touched her, turning them into horrific springs. Kenzou bounces everywhere as F.F. regains her consciousness. Even Jolyne is stunned at Anasui's extreme methods, only for the man to enjoy her attention. Kenzou ends out of commission, stuck in a bucket and unable to move.

Jolyne tries to stand up but she can barely maintain her balance. F.F. tells her to wait so that she can heal her, but Jolyne is in a hurry to save her father Jotaro. Meanwhile, we see Jotaro in the care of doctors from the Speedwagon Foundation.
