Official Description
Netflix description
Florida, U.S.A, 2011 -- After an accident while on a drive with her sweetheart, Jolyne Cujoh falls into a trap and is sentenced to fifteen years at the state-run maximum-security correctional facility Green Dolphin Street Prison—AKA "the Aquarium." On the verge of despair, she receives a pendant from her father that causes a mysterious power to awaken inside of her. "There are things in this world that are more terrifying than death, and what's happening in this prison is definitely one of them." A message from a mysterious boy who appears before Jolyne, inexplicable events that occur one after another, the horrifying truth told to her by her father when he comes to visit, and the name DIO… Will Jolyne ultimately be set free from this stone ocean they call a prison? The final battle to end the century-long, fateful confrontations between the Joestar family and DIO begins!!
Summary
In Florida in 2011, follows Jotaro Kujo's daughter Jolyne Cujoh after she is sent to prison for a crime she did not commit. While learning about the bizarre rules and prisoners in the Green Dolphin Street Prison, Jolyne discovers the evil plot perpetrated by Enrico Pucci to steal her father's memory, and read the contents of a diary left behind by DIO, which tell of a way to reach "Heaven" and let Pucci be able to change fate. Jolyne is accompanied by Ermes Costello, Emporio Alniño, Foo Fighters, Narciso Anasui, and Weather Report, as they attempt to save Jotaro and stop Pucci. The story ends with five of them, including Jotaro, being killed by Pucci, as his plans come to fruition and the universe is reset. He is ultimately defeated by Emporio, which causes the universe to be reset again, creating a new world untouched by Pucci's influence, ending the curse of the Joestar bloodline for good.

Variations
Jolyne, Fly High With Gucci (2011)
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.
Over Heaven (2011)
JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE OVER HEAVEN
A light-novel written by Niso Isin in 2011 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 the events of Phantom Blood and Stardust Crusaders, 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.
It also gives an explanation as to how DIO survived in the coffin between the events of Parts 1 and 3. In this novel, it is explained that Erina saved DIO out of the goodness of her heart and placed herself in the coffin with him. This contradicts canon, as in Part 3 it is shown that DIO survived through a hidden compartment at the bottom of the coffin.
Whitesnake's Miscalculation (2021)
Fujiko's Bizarre Worldly Wisdom -Whitesnake's Miscalculation-
A one-shot featuring Jolyne written by Sho Aimoto, author of the series Kemono Jihen. It takes place during the events of Part 6, presumably before the events of the Savage Garden arc, where Jolyne meets a mysterious prisoner who makes continuous tearful requests for someone to draw her. It released in December 2021.
The story is 26 pages and tells the story of a Stand User that Whitesnake created in the prison named Fujiko Fujiyama. Whitesnake gives her the Stand Bad Romance, which she uses to control Jolyne's emotions using her drawings. The plan backfires however, because Fujiko becomes infatuated with Jolyne, and her ability to dehabilitate her ends up helping her. In the end Fujiko's memories and Stand are taken by Whitesnake and it's made as though she never existed.
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 effects 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. Its Netflix premiere date is in December and the date it returns to Japanese television is in January.
- It is the first official English translation of the series to have chapters released weekly, rather than quarterly in volumes, as well as at the same time as another parts serialization.
- It is also the first to be released digitally before in physical volume format.
Continuity
- Jolyne Cujoh, the main protagonist of this part, is the daughter of Jotaro Kujo. While she was born before Part 4 took place, she does not appear or get mentioned in any official media.
- Enrico Pucci, the main antagonist of this part, is revealed to be a minion of DIO and his confidant. DIO's true plans are finally revealed, after first being alluded to in Part 4, which are to "attain Heaven." DIO left behind a notebook in his mansion that listed all the steps to achieve heaven, which was subsequently burnt by Jotaro after the events of Part 3.
- It is also revealed that DIO left a bone from his finger in Pucci's possession, should his plan backfire and he dies before it can be completed. This ends up actually being the case, and Pucci uses the bone to create a spawn of DIO known as the Green Baby, which Pucci fuses his Stand with to become Made in Heaven.
- Another one of DIO's minions is revealed in this part, the blind master sniper, Johngalli A.
- Jotaro sends Jolyne an Arrow shard in the mail with her belongings in order to unlock her Stand. It is unknown exactly which Arrow this is a shard of, but it is likely the one that came to be in the Speedwagon Foundation's possession in Part 4, the one originally belonging to Keicho Nijimura.
- It was also likely broken to a small shard in order to fit it in her locket.
- Jotaro reappears in this part as a major ally for the beginnings and ends of this part. He is the only returning character from a previous part in Part 6.
- This part reveals that DIO had three other children besides Giorno, Donatello Veruss, Ungalo, and Rykiel. Each of them had an unfortunate upbringing, which led them down bad paths in life.
- At the end of the part, the universe is reset and most of the main cast, save for Emporio, lose their memories of the entire part. With the universe being reset, Pucci's influence on the Joestar group and the world disappears.
- The universe reset does not affect the continuity of the previous or future parts, as the timeline changes are mostly confined to the events of Part 6 and the characters surrounding it.
