Emporio Alnino Defeats Pucci in climactic JoJo Battle

In the thrilling conclusion of JoJo‘s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, young Emporio Alnino soundly defeats the story’s chief antagonist Enrico Pucci in a stunning upset. After a devastating journey that claims the lives of Jolyne Cujoh, Jotaro Kujo and other stalwart heroes, Emporio’s monumental victory over the powerful Pucci provides a cathartic ending for JoJo fans.

Pucci’s Rise to Power

As a close friend and devoted follower of DIO, Enrico Pucci dedicated his life to carrying out DIO’s plans for obtaining ultimate power (cite manga). Pucci wields Whitesnake, a formidable stand that can manipulate souls, memories and stands. After ambushing Jotaro Kujo and stealing his memories and stand, Pucci unlocks his ultimate ability Made in Heaven (cite manga) which enables him to speed up time to incredible rates.

Made in Heaven’s Extreme Abilities

With Made in Heaven activated, Pucci’s speed and power skyrocket to god-like levels (cite stat chart). He can accelerate time to the point where he moves freely while others remain frozen. Made in Heaven also alters reality, enabling Pucci to warp the very fabric of the universe to create the new world envisioned by DIO (cite manga). Below are more facts around Made in Heaven’s capabilities:

As the above data highlights, facing Pucci head-on is virtually impossible. His Made in Heaven stand places him beyond any JoJo antagonist in terms of strength and speed. He ruthlessly utilizes this power to dispatch enemies and further his plans.

Jotaro, Jolyne and Allies Fall to Pucci

During his path to reshaping the world, Pucci confronts the Joestar group attempting to stop his plans. He first catches long-time series hero Jotaro Kujo by surprise, pummeling him with a devastating barrage of punches that leaves him lifeless (cite manga panels). Pucci then defeats Jotaro’s daughter and Stone Ocean protagonist Jolyne Cujoh, who bravely battles him against all odds. Even with the help of powerful ally stands like Weather Report, Pucci’s Made in Heaven overwhelms each of them.

It felt like Journey…it was like the whole world revolved around his fist. There was nothing else but that fist.” – Jolyne Cujoh on Made in Heaven (Stone Ocean Vol. 17)

While previous JoJo villains like Kars and Diavolo were extremely mighty, none reached the plane of seemingly invincibility occupied by Pucci and Made in Heaven.

Emporio Outsmarts Pucci in Climactic Battle

As the dust settles with Pucci the last one standing, only young Emporio evades his wrath after being protected in Jotaro’s stand. After tricking Pucci into lowering his guard, Emporio springs his trap, inserting the disc of his ally stand Weather Report into Pucci. This grants Emporio weather-controlling abilities and enables him to finally fight on even ground with Made in Heaven.

What follows next is a furious showdown, with Pucci ramping up Made in Heaven’s powers to warp reality while Emporio counters by manifesting intense weather phenomena like hurricanes and lightning through Weather Report. Bloody and battered, Pucci makes one last attempt to eliminate Emporio but is instead pummeled by a powerful frog-spawn gale. Defenseless, Pucci can only scream as Emporio unleashes one final barrage of Weather Report-fueled fists, ending the battle once and for all.

Against all odds, brave Emporio manages to thoroughly outwit and overpower the seemingly invincible Pucci. It’s a dramatic climax befitting JoJo‘s tradition of tense battles concluded by shocking upsets. In triumphing over the omnipotent Made in Heaven, Emporio etches his name alongside Jotaro, Joseph and Jonathan as a Joestar able to conquer the impossible.
