JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Checks on Ermes in New Still

By Evan Valentine

We're only a few days away from Netflix bringing anime viewers back to Green Dolphin Street Penitentiary via new episodes of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. With the first episodes arriving on the streaming service in December 2021, Stand fans have been waiting for some time to see the return of Jolyne and her allies. Now, the series has given us a new look at Ermes Costello, one of Jolyne's strongest allies who will play a significant role in the anime adaptation's return.

Ermes Costello is one of Jolyne's strongest and most trustworthy allies within the halls of Green Dolphin Street Penitentiary, not just thanks to the power of her Stand, Kiss, but also because of her intricate knowledge of life behind bars. Ermes acted as a strong mentor to Cujoh during her first days in prison, and Costello eventually received a Stand of her own with quite the unique ability. Kiss can create "stamps" that will split any object or person into two, and once the stamp is removed, the two parts will slam back together while also creating an explosion that can do serious damage to both the target as well as the environment around them.

The Official Twitter Account for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure shared the new look at Ermes Costello before she returns alongside the newest season of Stone Ocean on Netflix, with the series also set to arrive on public television in Japan beginning this October following its streaming debut later this week:

When we previously left Jolyne and her allies, the latest family member of the Joestars found herself dealing with an even worse problem than clearing her name and surviving Stand battles, as her father Jotaro had his memories and Stand stolen by the villainous Pucci. With around a dozen new episodes of the series arriving later this week, it seems that the third part of Stone Ocean is inevitable if the animated series is looking to adapt all the stories from the manga proper. While Part Three hasn't revealed an official release date, a recent Blu-Ray announcement might point to an arrival of early next year.
