I really enjoyed this volume. I love getting to see more of Araki's take on Florida, including gratuitous use of alligators and an overly detailed map of NASA's visitor center. The colors really pop in this volume, making for some vibrant scenery.
In general, it feels like the art has reached an all time high. Maybe it has been this way for a while, and I just haven't picked up on it. But this volume felt like a significant step up. Particularly in the larger panels during the C-Moon fight.
Speaking of which, I love C-Moon's power. When I would get bored in waiting rooms as a kid, I used to imagine how I would get around places if the gravity were switched to a different direction. So it's cool to see something like that come up in a story. However, the action can get hard to follow from page to page. Particularly with how exactly the "inside out" part of his power works on objects. Both the changing directions of gravity and objects shifting inside out will probably benefit from the addition of animation. But I bet it'd be a nightmare to draw.
Jolyne coming up with the mobius strip was a fantastic moment. It's one of those things that you could realistically come up with as a viable solution, but few people actually would. It was great. I also enjoyed how the perspective shifted to Pucci for those couple of chapters while Jolyne took on the role of this mysterious attacker. It took me back to some of Jotaro's fights in Startdust Crusaders.
All things considered, Stone Ocean has stepped things up for the home stretch. I had talked about maybe being burnt out on this series, but now that the end is here I'm sad to see it go.

The visual part of the story is so strong, Araki's art and his creativity is stunning.
However, plotwise I am more than ready to see the story wrapped-up. I'm not a huge fan of prolonged fightings, especially when we know the opponents well and there is little mystery.

Show Pucci what you got Kujo family! (ﾉ^∇^)ﾉﾟ
Annasui is in my heart, and he forever will be!! When we first met him, I thought he would be turned against Jolyne at some point, but he always tries to protect her!! (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*

Snail hell is over and we finally move on to more believable stands like "reversing gravity"

Heavy Weather part 12 (ch 730): The confrontation between Weather and Pucci, along with the commentary by Anasui who somehow managed to look sl*tty despite transforming into a snail, was amazing !! I'm also so glad that Jolyne, Ermes, and Emporio finally arrived! I cannot wait to see their reunion, and with *ssh*l* Weather at that! I also love how Pucci's just so self-centered that he believes mere coincidences are predetermined because he's the "chosen one".
Heavy Weather part 13 (ch 731) made me so sad !! I love Anasui's monologue. There was something about him telling Jolyne not to blame herself when she was wondering if it was her arrival that brought about Weather's death, and him saying that he was saved and that he willingly took the risk for Jolyne. It was a nice contrast to Pucci putting significance on himself by attributing coincidence to fate. The significance placed on Jolyne was the characters' own choices due to the relationships and memories they made with her; however, fleeting they were worthwhile.
At Cape Canaveral (ch 732) is so ominous due to the hints about a stand that probably has something to do with gravity. I actually forgot that there was something wrong with Pucci and that time seems to speed up with his new stand because of White Snake's presence in the last arc. For now, I'm just going to assume that he can switch stands because of how he can materialize them through CDs.
I love the beginning too. A bit weird because Weather just died, but it was just such a nice respite and comic relief.
To the Gravity of the New Moon part 1 (ch 733) was so cool ??? Good for Hermes for figuring out what was going on.
I love how the perspective in the panels changed to denote the change in the direction of the gravitational pull !!
To the Gravity of the New Moon part 2 (ch 734) felt like an in-between, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I love Jolyne so much in C-Moon part 1 (ch 735) !! She's so badass, confronting the enemy and taking a few test hits, and being so nonchalant about being turned inside out and back agin. I also loved everyone's expressions and how they were drawn!!
C-Moon part 2 (ch 736): Jolyne's so strong and insane I love her.
The panels in C-Moon part 3 (ch 737) are insane because of all the action, colors, and crazy perspective, and I cannot wait to see them animated.
One of Anasui's appeal to me aside from being pretty is that he really is just an *ssh*l*. His phasing Diver Down into Jolyne's string so she could deal the finishing blow on C-Moon was really something though.
C-Moon part 4 (ch 738) is so tense! It's a race against time!! I really loved the panels here. I am anxious for Jotaro and Anasui to meet, and for secrets to be revealed. Like how exactly did Pucci establish a connection with the Joestars? What's Dio's secret to attaining heaven? Did Weather's stand come in handy? Was it Hermes?
C-Moon part 5 (ch 739): Oh my God. I love Anasui for still looking so sl*tty and being the kind of person to scream "surprise attack" !! I was also so freaked out by Jolyne touching Pucci out of nowhere.
C-Moon part 6 (ch 740): I'm in love with Jolyne.
Heavy Weather part 13 (ch 731) made me so sad !! I love Anasui's monologue. There was something about him telling Jolyne not to blame herself when she was wondering if it was her arrival that brought about Weather's death, and him saying that he was saved and that he willingly took the risk for Jolyne.

y’all…so much has went down and i do not even have WORDS. pucci has a new stand and he is wreaking havoc and flipping in the name of attaining heaven for dio. it also goes back to part 3 y’all as jotaro is fixing to enter the scene. jolyne is a bamf as always. she could kill me and i would say thank you, force myself to come back, and let her kill me again. emporio and (as bad as i hate to say it) anasui are both coming THROUGH. i really hope emporio survives and gets to be a boy and know peace after all this is over with. i wished it for weather report too but…that didn’t work out and i am heartbroken. excited and worried for this final volume ikykyk

La pelea está en la recta final y se fue con todo, desde nuevo stand para el padre, como la muerte definitiva del hermano gemelo, como la posible aparición de Jotaro en el próximo volumen. Jolyne está rotísima, me encanta la forma en como utiliza su stand, es demasiado ingenioso. De todas maneras, así como espero al querido Jotaro (aunque la verdad), espero también (y muchísimo) a Giogio. Necesito una conversación entre Jotaro y Giovani.

4 estrellas.
Y ya finalmente el rumbo al final de la hsitoria, estoy que me muerdo las uñas.
No se como podrá terminar todo esto, bueno, en realidad si lo sé, lo malo de que haya tantos spoilers por internet, pero bueno, las cosas no se pueden alterar.
Stone Ocean se está volviendo de mis partes favoritas de Jojos

By far this has been my favorite part of Jojos the art style and the story. I think that pucci has to be one of the best Villains in the series by far, just the way he planned everything out. At the end it all just comes together. I look forward to reading more of this series’s in the near future.

Sí que me mareó este tomo.
Algunas partes no tienen pies ni cabeza, y de hecho creo que esa es la idea, pero la sensación de que todo está mal y va a peor está tan bien plasmada que por más "incómodo" que me haya resultado el tomo, promediarlo para abajo sería un despropósito.
Ahora sí, a preparar los pañuelitos, que se viene final deprimente.
