JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Anime Leaves Out Sixth Sense Easter Egg

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a weird show, and the Stone Ocean easily takes the cake for one of the strangest seasons in the Joestars’ history to date. As Jolyne Cujoh attempts to clear her name while seeking to save her father’s life, Jotaro Kujo, a new enemy took shape via Mew Mew and her Stand, Jailhouse Rock. As Jolyne struggles in this battle, the anime adaptation, unfortunately, left out a major easter egg reference to the movie, Sixth Sense.    

In JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean’s manga, Jolyne Cujoh finds herself facing down a Stand from a unique character named Mew Mew. The printed story sees Mew Mew’s Stand, Jailhouse Rock, making so that its victims can only remember three specific facts, making finding and defeating her quite the herculean task for the daughter of Jotaro Kujo. During a scene wherein Jolyne stumbles upon the entertainment room of the Green Dolphin Street Prison, she spoils the ending of the Sixth Sense for those prisoners who were in the middle of the spooky feature, causing quite a few prisoners to lose their cool thanks to the wielder of Stone Free. 

One Twitter User shared the original scene from Stone Ocean’s manga, which is replaced with simply a man on a television screen in the anime adaptation, making no reference to the M. Night Shyamalan film, Bruce Willis, or any of the spooky scenarios that took place in the movie featuring a young boy who could “see dead people”:

Following the release of this new batch of episodes that takes Joestar fans up to episode twenty-four, the third set of installments has yet to be officially confirmed by Netflix, though the upcoming blu-ray set that will arrive in March has confirmed that there will be one more section of the Stone Ocean’s anime adaptation. With these latest episodes coming to a close as Pucci and White Snake prepare to “enter heaven”, expect some of the biggest moments of the franchise overall to take place in the final episodes of Stone Ocean.
