Other Stands

Jolyne, Fly High With Gucci
A one-shot manga chapter written by Araki starring Jolyne and a few Part 5 characters in collaboration with the Gucci clothing brand. It is non-canon, as it features the likes of Jolyne included with Part 5 characters who could never meet otherwise. Also considering that Araki's other brand deal featured manga also is non-canon, it's safe to say this one is as well.

This spin-off received an official English translation in January 2013.

JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: OVER HEAVEN
A light-novel written by Niso Isin that's meant to be the lost transcript of DIO's diary featured in Part 6. It also includes explanations for many of the obscure parts of Dio's plan and his life, including his backstory with his mother, his thoughts and feelings during Part 1, and explanations for why he needed 36 sinners to sacrifice for the Heaven plan, and how he came up with the idea of "Heaven" in the first place.

Fujiko's Bizarre Survivor Skills -Whitesnake's Miscalculation-
A yet to be released spin-off one-shot featuring Jolyne. Takes place during the events of Part 6, Jolyne meets a mysterious prisoner who makes continuous tearful requests for someone to draw her. It is set to release in December 2021.

Trivia

 * The end of Part 6, that being with the universe being reset, does not lead into Part 7 that takes place in an alternate universe. Araki stated that he felt that he was at his peak with Stone Ocean and wanted to go back to his roots for Part 7.
 * The "Stone" in Stone Ocean refers to Jolyne's will, and the "Ocean" is all of womankind.
 * Donatello Versace's backstory is very similar to that of Stanley Yelnat's from the movie "Holes."
 * Since the woman with breast implants becomes saggy under the affects of Made in Heaven's accelerated time, it's safe to assume that the female protagonists of Part 6 are all natural, considering they did not fall under this affect.
 * This is the first season of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation not to premiere in either April or October. It's Netflix premiere date is in December and the date it returns to Japanese television is in January.
