Ppl need to talk about the horrific violation of human rights and general morality that was the stealing chagos Island.
The tragedy is something similar to the actions of the colonial nations during the days of slavery and indentured labor
I also really like how araki made Pucci black because religious psychosis in the black community especially in America it's particularly strong and often leads people to do things that actively harmful towards people in the black community as well as everyone around them. With the belief that they are helping others or achieving a great divine goal, which is exactly what puci did. and dio being the one to brainwash him is really interesting because it's exactly how black people get brought into this idea of religious divinity by people essentially exploiting the black community that was already in a very bad state both mentally and economically the way that dio.
Overall I love Pucci as a character for the way he parallels what happens to many marginalized people that turned to a type of racial divinity fuelled by their need for change, growth and freedom from the society they live in
Stone Ocean isn’t just my favorite Jojo part but it’s my favorite piece of media. I think a big reason for that is because, to me at least, a lot of the themes and messages of the story feel inherently queer/trans coded. The biggest themes of the story are about memories, and what our pasts mean to us, how they shape us. We see how Jolyne and the others have pasts that make them judged, outsiders to society, traumatized. However, they all become more than what they once were and find their true selves. FF specifically embodies this so well. They literally find a new body that fits them better, making them happier. The life and body they were living in before was dull, near-meaningless and subject to the whim of other people. They express their authentic self, but have to move in caution because of that, and value their bodily autonomy over everything else.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, however, we have Pucci. In him, we see what refusing to critically assess yourself and reshape your ideas does, especially when religion is brought into the mix. His entire goal of wanting to have everybody’s fate known and set in stone isn’t him working past his trauma, it’s him literally being consumed by it. He claims to have good intentions, and genuinely does believe that. But because he isn’t able to face his fears head on, he winds down a dark path that leads him to become the opposite of what he wants was, so engulfed by his own bubble that he can’t see how hypocritical he’s become.
Probably wasn’t intended- (maybe?? since some people claim that shonen made Araki change Anasui from being a female, but who knows)- but this just mirrors being queer so well to me. The process of literally rebuilding yourself, while still honoring what value you can pull from your past. Meanwhile, people all around you try to frame you, spread lies and force their beliefs and rigid viewpoints on you. I love you Stone Ocean 🌊 💿 🦋
