Weather Report

"I'm going to be the one to kill Pucci. And after I kill him, kill me. Understand?"

- Weather Report to Anasui

Weather Report (ウェザー・リポート), real name, born Domenico Pucci (ドメニコ・プッチ), is a key ally featured in Stone Ocean.

An amnesiac at his introduction, Weather Report is a fellow inmate who seeks his memory and allies himself with Jolyne Cujoh. It is revealed that he is Enrico Pucci's. Weather is a Stand User controlling the surrounding atmosphere through his ability, which is also named Weather Report.

Appearance
Weather Report is a man of tall stature and medium to athletic build. He commonly wears a light, flat-topped buffalo hat (a fur hat with two short horns at its front), and a dark bodysuit.

When he was 16 and known as Wes Bluemarine, he wore a similar bodysuit, only with different colored sleeves, and the top half of the suit being cut, looking like a shirt. He didn't wear a hat, instead showing his real hair. His hair is similar to his hat, only excluding the horns, it's smaller, and has several strands going behind his neck.

After Pucci's fusion with The Green Baby, Weather is shown to have gained a star-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder - imitating Pucci's development of the same birthmark - which foreshadowed his familial relation to him.

Personality
While deprived of his memories, Weather was mellow and eccentric. He would boldly stand a few inches next to Jolyne's face to get her attention rather than call her name and usually walks on his toes. He was trustworthy and compassionate, rescuing those in need without caring for his own safety. Unless someone he knew was in danger, Weather hardly panicked. Weather was also described as having a strong sense of justice, describing the worst injustice as "evil that does not know it is evil".

Upon the return of his memories, he reveals his sinister colors. While still retaining his previous passion for his friends, he is not afraid to flaunt his powers for his own amusement. Weather smiles when he shocks unsuspecting victims or even skips in joy amongst his hazardous rainbows, his newer personality frightening even Anasui. His melancholy over his memories soon consumes him and drives him to settle things with his twin brother.

Abilities
Weather Report's homonymous Stand affords him a great degree of control over the weather and/or the atmosphere.

After his memories return he reawakens an ability called "Heavy Weather", an ability which alters the refractive angle of the sun's rays entering earth's atmosphere to create a natural subliminal effect. Those affected by the rainbows manifested by the ability will perceive themselves as snails.

Early life
Weather was originally born as "Domenico Pucci" to the wealthy Pucci family, the younger of fraternal twins. He was stolen from the clinic nursery by a woman whose own baby had died the same day, soon after birth, He would go on to live the rest of his life as "Wes Bluemarine".

In his teenage years, he worked as a juice delivery boy. One fateful day, he stopped a thief from stealing Perla Pucci's bag and within two weeks' time, the two began dating. Enrico Pucci, discovering that Weather was, in fact, his twin brother, sought to separate them in a manner that would least harm his sister. However, the "private detective agency" he used to accomplish this was actually run by the, who subsequently looked into Weather's family history and found that his "mother" had married an African American man. When the KKK members saw Perla give Weather a goodnight kiss, they attacked the pair and ultimately lynched Weather, hanging him from a tree to die. Perla cut him down and, not realizing he still had a faint pulse, jumped off the nearby cliff to her death.

Not long after, when Pucci was stabbed by the Arrow, Weather gained a Stand ability on his own as well. After regaining consciousness, he sought out the head of the "private detective agency" for information on Pucci. Weather was filled with rage at both himself and the world, but his Stand made it impossible for him to kill himself. He tried jumping off a cliff, but winds blew him back to the cliff side. He tried drowning himself, but the waves pushed him back to the shore. He even tried shooting himself, but the gun chamber filled with water and refused to work. On the fourth day after his regained consciousness, snails began to rain from the sky as a result of his Stand. Pucci then confronted Weather, revealed that they were brothers, and removed Weather's memory DISC using Whitesnake. Some years after the loss of his memories, he started going by the name "Weather Report" and was imprisoned in Green Dolphin Street Prison with a six years sentence for attempted murder, where he would meet Emporio Alniño and Narciso Anasui.

Stone Ocean (2011-2012)
Weather first appears in the ghost music room staring at Emporio and Ermes Costello's conversation about investigating Whitesnake alongside Anasui, but doesn't intervene.

Weather is Formally introduced to Jolyne Cujoh by Emporio as an amnesiac as Whitesnake stole his memory, and when they met in the music room, he offered to assist her in delivering Jotaro Kujo's Stand DISC to the Speedwagon Foundation. Utilizing his Stand, Weather Report, he created wind and rain near a piano, causing pens to fall onto the piano keys, resulting in a sound that made an enemy investigate. Weather confirmed the enemy's presence by using a puddle as a makeshift mirror. The trio then fled to the corridors, seemingly evading the enemy by hiding in a jacket. Inside the jacket, Weather agreed to go to the factory's entrance first.

Weather heard Jolyne's call for help and rushed to her side. He witnessed her floating due to Lang Rangler's ability, Jumpin' Jack Flash. Lang shot nuts and bolts at Weather, who used his Stand to create atmospheric layers to deflect the projectiles and set Lang's arm on fire when he attempted to punch him. Lang canceled his power, triggering an alarm and fleeing. To catch up, Weather grabbed Jolyne, who was still floating, and propelled himself using the wind to reach the factory. Preserving the air around them with cloud suits Inside the factory, Jolyne started feeling the effects of decompression and had to relieve herself, causing embarrassment. Weather created a cloud for her to hide while she did her business. They realized that the air they touched was disappearing due to decompression, which also forced their blood out. Lang shot scraps at them, but Stone Free deflected them. To maintain some air around them, Weather Report created cloud suits for both of them. They needed to find and defeat the enemy before their oxygen supplies ran out, but Lang had hidden somewhere in the factory.

Weather Report attempted to distance himself from Jolyne to escape the antigravity, using some drum barrels as landmarks. Lang was revealed to be behind them and shot at them with his gauntlets. Weather was wounded in the leg. Jolyne tried to shield Weather, but Lang shot a drum barrel, piercing it and sending it hurtling toward Weather. The impact damaged the suit, and Weather was pushed back into Jolyne's range. Lang took advantage of the situation, throwing a couple of rats at Jolyne, which exploded, covering her suit in blood and blinding her. Lang reloaded and fired at Jolyne, but she deployed her strings to block the projectiles and restrain Lang, pulling him into the deadly zero-gravity environment. Although Lang destroyed Jolyne's suit with a makeshift grenade, Weather sacrificed his suit to buy Jolyne some time. Lang canceled his Jumpin' Jack Flash power, but the returning air flow pushed Lang back into Stone Free's range. Stone Free pummeled Lang, defeating him. Weather summoned a rain of poisonous jungle frogs to save Jolyne from a guard controlled by Whitesnake. This helped Jolyne deliver the Stand DISC to the Speedwagon Foundation. Weather Report was found injured and brought to the infirmary.

While still recovering, Weather Report served as valuable backup for Foo Fighters, causing the sky to rain if she became too dehydrated. However, Pucci completed his objective of seizing The Green Baby and killed F.F. before leaving the prison. Weather gained a Star Birthmark, just like Pucci, although he didn't understand why. At Anasui's insistence, he joined their search for Jolyne.

Weather and Anasui were pursued by the police and reached a motel. At the motel, Weather helped an old man who had tripped and dropped his groceries. While hiding in the bathrooms, Weather became momentarily confused by the unusual sinks that lacked spigots. Anasui asked Weather Report to remember who he was, suspicious after noticing the Star Birthmark on his neck, which was also present on The Green Baby, Jolyne, and Jotaro. Weather was determined to defeat Pucci, whom he considered his enemy. They needed to escape the area, and Weather decided against stealing a car, deeming it too risky. Instead, he used his Stand to clear the clouds above the old man he had helped earlier, creating a ray of light that relieved the old man's knee pain. Grateful, the old man offered them a ride in the back of his truck.

While on the truck, Weather sensed that Jolyne was traveling north, so they decided to follow her. Anasui noticed a strange absence of illustrated characters in a Disney guidebook and saw something moving nearby. Thinking it was an enemy, Anasui used Diver Down to capture it, only to find out it was Pinocchio. They realized that Pucci had sent Stand users after them. Anasui attempted to interrogate Pinocchio, but the fictional character had no information about the enemy and instead discussed other fictional characters inside the truck. Weather momentarily lost track of Anasui but later found him under the truck's wheels. The truck crashed, and Weather created an atmospheric airbag to cushion the impact. Anasui found himself back in his body, and Weather suggested they defeat the user of Bohemian Rhapsody. However, Weather again lost track of Anasui.

Searching for Anasui, Weather encountered a bearded man with a pipe who claimed to be the portrait of Van Gogh after cutting off his own ear. Weather Report found himself under the influence of Bohemian Rhapsody, and when Van Gogh tried to punch him with paintbrushes, a bullet burst out of a paintbrush and hit Weather in the head. Panicking, Weather used his Stand to block the highway heading north, but the enemy was on a plane faster than any meteorological phenomenon. The situation seemed dire, and a pistol with which Van Gogh shot himself was nearby. Weather attempted to flee, but Anasui, filled with rocks, crashed into him, and both fell. The pistol shot a bullet, killing Weather instantly while Anasui began to melt. Despite their dire circumstances, Weather unexpectedly grabbed the portrait.

Weather compelled Van Gogh to create a new character, "Put Back the hero," which restored all the fictional characters to their proper places, canceling Bohemian Rhapsody's power and robbing Ungalo of his will to live.

Weather and Anasui arrived at the Orlando hospital, where Weather sensed Pucci's proximity. Unexpectedly, Donatello Versus' Stand, Under World, came to Weather and returned his memory DISC. Overwhelmed by the shock of regaining his memories, Weather sat in a seat reserved for hospital patients. When a patient complained, Weather's demeanor had drastically changed, and he displayed extreme aggression. He drowned the The nurse filling his body with an excessive amount of water, causing it to bloat into a grotesque blob. Weather left the hospital with a bewildered Anasui by his side, briefly sharing his intent to seek revenge against his brother, leaving Anasui even more perplexed. While in the streets, Weather engaged in another vile act, coercing two women into massaging him by administering electric shocks.

The infestation of snails began to rapidly consume Orlando. Weather and Anasui observed the unfolding disaster, with Anasui harboring suspicions that Weather might somehow be involved. Seeking answers, Anasui confronted Weather, who suddenly implored Anasui to end his life. He declared his intention to settle the score with Pucci, claiming that the priest was nearby. Despite their efforts to scan the surroundings with Diver Down and Weather Report, Pucci remained elusive. As they approached a suspicious empty car, Weather's right leg was severed, and Pucci emerged from a swarm of snails, seemingly immune to Heavy Weather's effects.

When Anasui attempted to charge at Pucci, a swarm of snails infected him as well. Pucci declared his victory and turned his back on the duo. However, Weather, with his right leg replaced by Diver Down's, unexpectedly lunged at Pucci, initiating a close-quarters battle. Although Pucci tried to defend himself by reflecting sunlight with a car's wing mirror, Weather's Weather Report proved more potent. He manipulated gusts of wind to violently propel Pucci toward a car. Weather closed in and executed a karate chop on Pucci, but the priest used a wing mirror to deflect sunlight, thwarting Weather's attack. Anasui's transformation escalated drastically, but Diver Down was disabled, leaving Weather vulnerable once again.

Pucci then revealed the power of subliminal messages on the human mind. He explained that Heavy Weather altered the atmosphere, convincing humans that they were transforming into snails, causing this transformation to manifest. However, since Heavy Weather depended on sunlight, Pucci blinded himself and relied on his mystic sense to detect Weather. Pucci severed Weather's remaining leg, shocking Anasui, who retaliated against the priest. Enraged, Pucci struck Anasui with Whitesnake, nearly delivering a fatal blow. Unexpectedly, Pucci impaled his own foot on an ice spike, rendering him immobile. Weather utilized his Stand to freeze Pucci's splattered blood, creating a maze of spikes that trapped Pucci. As Weather crawled toward the immobilized Pucci, the priest resorted to impaling Anasui's head with Whitesnake's hand, brainwashing him to reveal the spike positions and aiding Pucci's escape. It was too late for Anasui to notice a spike forming on Pucci's chest, poised to impale the priest's head. Moreover, Weather used air pressure to destabilize Pucci, who desperately attempted to avoid the impending attack. Pucci shattered several spikes, hurling them at Weather in hopes of forcing him to defend himself and weaken his assault. Weather, driven by a death wish, endured the impalement of the spikes, further freezing the blood to ensnare Pucci. Now within striking distance, Weather Report landed a powerful punch on Pucci, immobilizing him on the ground. Pucci pleaded with Weather, but Weather silenced him, proclaiming Pucci's ignorance of his own malevolence as he prepared for a finishing blow.



Suddenly, a car crashed nearby, causing chaos and separating the twin brothers. Versus, who had been riding alongside Jolyne, Ermes, and Emporio but lost control of the vehicle due to Weather inadvertently creating a dust cloud, arrived. Jolyne sensed Pucci's presence nearby, but the priest had already pierced Weather's chest, seemingly assisted by Fate. In his final moments, Weather managed to wrestle his Stand DISC away from Pucci, leaving it as a gift for Jolyne.

His vengeance was ultimately delivered when Emporio used Weather's Stand to defeat Pucci. In the Alternate Universe, when Irene and Anakiss finally manage to start up their car, with Eldis and Emporio in tow, an Alternate Weather Report is shown as a hitchhiker and joins the group shortly after.

All Star Battle (PS3)
Weather Report appears in All Star Battle as part of the stage hazard in the Green Dolphin Street Prison stage. After one of the players is knocked into the hazard indication area, Weather will be seen injured and sitting in the background behind the gate of the courtyard, conjuring clouds shortly before the stage begins raining frogs (replicating the events from the Flash Flood Warning chapters in Part 6). The frogs will inflict poison status to anyone struck, temporarily turning their stamina bar purple as they suffer a gradual loss of health. (This is the only way to contract poison in the game, aside from Pannacotta Fugo's Homicidal Virus).

Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)
Weather Report makes his first playable appearance in Eyes of Heaven. He was confirmed for the game alongside Jolyne, Ermes, and Pucci.

As a Stand User, Weather is one of many characters with wildly varied abilities that grant him uniqueness in battle. He may trap larger stage objects with lightning to shock and paralyze opponents, not unlike characters of the Ripple Style.


 * Style Action - Weather Report...: Weather Report generates white clouds around himself. If the Style Action button is held, he will charge his Stand's power to create additional effects across 3 different stages.
 * Atmospheric Layer: The first stage of Weather Report. The white clouds around Weather will deflect projectiles and catch opponents on fire via friction if they attack him. The clouds will deactivate if Weather is knocked down.
 * Who said you could touch me!?: The second stage of Weather Report. The white clouds around Weather become dark and stormy. Every time Weather attacks with Normal Attacks, they will shock his targets with lightning for additional damage, increasing the effective damage of his combos.
 * Flash Flood Warning: The third and final stage of Weather Report. The storm clouds around Weather now generate a small gale around him. Poisonous frogs will begin raining in various areas of the stage close to his opponents in two intervals, poisoning both them and Weather's partner if they come into contact. The in-game Command List erroneously gives this stage the same description as "Who said you could touch me!?".
 * Weather Report manipulates weather.: This Style Action can only be performed when Weather is down. He uses his Stand to summon the rain of poisonous frogs without needing to activate "Flash Flood Warning". This consumes his Style Action and places it on cooldown. Despite being on the floor, Weather is open to attacks during the ability that can interrupt him.
 * Dry out and stiffen up!: Weather flings his blood onto the floor and creates two puddles as traps. If an opponent steps on the blood, it freezes and becomes spikes to damage them.
 * 280 km/hr winds!: Weather has his Stand generate a tornado at opponents' feet, rapidly damaging them and sending them spiralling high into the air. This skill will not succeed if Weather is too far, or if his target is across gaps (i.e. the El Cairo Rooftops stage).
 * This will surely come in handy.: Weather generates white clouds around his partner, if they are within range. The clouds will deflect projectiles and catch opponents on fire via friction if the partner is attacked. The clouds will deactivate if they are knocked down.
 * The Devil's Rainbow! It's Heavy Weather!: Weather Report temporarily reverts back into Heavy Weather. While active, Heavy Weather will generate small rainbows around himself and various stage objects. If an opponent or Heavy Weather's partner touches the rainbows, they will be transformed into a snail, leaving them unable to perform any action aside from slithering at a slow speed, meaning they are completely helpless and vulnerable. Additionally, an opponent can be turned into a snail if a transformed individual touches them. The only way to interrupt Heavy Weather's ability is for him to be hit by a DHA. Characters that are blind are immune to Heavy Weather's effect: Wamuu while his "Now I will shut out the light, and with this horn see only the wind!" skill is active, N'Doul, and Pucci with Whitesnake (due to Whitesnake's ability to remove his eyesight).
 * EX - Dry out and stiffen up!: Weather creates 3 blood puddles and gains super armor until all of the puddles land.
 * EX - 280 km/hr winds!: The skill executes quicker and lands more hits, dealing more damage and sending opponents even higher into the air.

JoJolities

 * Flash Flood Warning: Weather must charge his Style Action until it reaches the "Flash Flood Warning" stage. (200 Points)
 * I'll suck it up in my clouds.: Weather must use "This will surely come in handy." (200 Points)
 * It just needs to be simple...and reliable...: Weather must trap opponents using "Dry out and stiffen up!" 3 times. (300 Points)
 * This might be able to help people heal their sprains and bad backs...: Heavy Weather must turn an opponent into a snail. (500 Points)
 * The only thing I live for is getting my revenge on that scumbag!: Heavy Weather must Retire an opponent while they are a snail. (800 Points)

Dual Heat Attacks

 * Solo - Cloud Suit: Weather activates his Stand's cloud suit, using oxygen to jet him into the opponent and spear them into the air. He then starts tackling them while flying past multiple times, juggling them in the process, before landing and separating from his Stand. Getting up, he ends the attack by summoning a large storm cloud to strike his downed target with bright, powerful lightning.
 * With Jolyne - The momentum's on our side!: Stone Free assaults the opponent as Weather Report creates an opposing gale that keeps the opponent in place. Stone Free's fists ultimately overpower the gale and the target is sent flying into Weather Report's Stand, setting them on fire via friction.

Tournament
He is paired with "Kosaku Kawajiri" in the Eyes of Heaven Tournament, defeating Pucci and Akira Otoishi in the first round but eliminated by Giorno Giovanna and Guido Mista in the second.
