A fifteen-year-old with a golden dream joins a Naples gang to fix it from the inside.
Golden Wind is the rare JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part that plays like a crime film, and we think it is the easiest part of the series to love. Here are eight reasons, one on each slide.
Reason 1 - A boy with a dream
Naples, 2001. Giorno Giovanna is fifteen and runs a taxi scam on tourists at the airport. What he really wants, he keeps to himself: to become a Gang-Star.
His plan is to take over the gang that runs the city and clean it up from the inside. It is a crime story told by a kid who believes in something.
Reason 2 - The strangest first meeting in JoJo
Bruno Bucciarati, a gang member sent to question Giorno, decides whether the boy is lying by licking the sweat off his face.
It is exactly as strange as it sounds, and nobody who sees it forgets it.
Reason 3 - Powers with rules
Every fighter here has a Stand, a spirit with one strange ability. Bucciarati's, Sticky Fingers, puts zippers on anything: walls, floors, even his own arm.
The fights are won by whoever uses a rule more cleverly, not by whoever hits harder.
Reason 4 - A power that gives life
Giorno's Stand, Gold Experience, gives life to objects and turns them into plants and animals.
It sounds like the gentlest power in the series, and he turns it into a weapon nobody sees coming.
Reason 5 - A test with a lighter
To join the gang, Giorno has to keep a lighter burning for a full day, a test set by a capo who runs things from a prison cell.
It sounds like a joke, and it becomes one of the tensest stretches of the season.
Reason 6 - A squad you get to know
Bucciarati's team is a group of misfits: Abbacchio, who distrusts Giorno from day one, the hothead Narancia, the clever Fugo and Mista, who is terrified of the number four.
They argue, eat together and cover for each other, and the season lets you know every one of them.
Reason 7 - A power that replays the past
Abbacchio's Stand, Moody Blues, can replay anything that happened in a place, like a recording played back in the street.
It turns a gang story into a detective story as well.
Reason 8 - Where to start
david production made it from the fifth part of Hirohiko Araki's manga, in 39 episodes from 2018 to 2019, and Yugo Kanno wrote the score, Giorno's Theme included.
You can start right here. A few faces from earlier parts make more sense if you know them, and that is all.
