87/100A darker bizarre adventure following our new Jojo, or GioGio, rather.Continue on AniListSpoilers and a little swearing ahead, obviously
This manga was... different, pretty damn different from what would be the previous parts, and if i had to choose a part that this reminds me of... weirdly enough, it would be Part 1.
Why is that? Many things, specific and also cryptic things, but let's start from the very beginning.
Vento Aureo is, of course, in Italy, which i really love. I knew from the very beginning that this was going to be all about the dangers of the mafia, climbing up ranks, betrayal, and very few friendly faces, and that's what i got.
Our story follows Giorno Giovanna, our Jojo, or well, GioGio of this part, and he's pretty damn unique, unlike most of his predecessors, he has a dream that he plans to make reality as soon as possible, most Jojos had peaceful lives, suddenly made a living hell by the most evil bois of their respective parts, but Giorno had a rough life, no one cared about him, even as a baby, he knew that it wasn't worth crying if no one could hear you, that's true despair, until one day, he unconsciously saves a mafioso, who then becomes his guardian angel, giving him motivation to follow his dreams, making him decide that he wanted to become a GANG STAR! But not just for the sake of doing it, but to help others, he obtains what he wants through pretty shady methods but still had a kind heart. Oh yeah, and his dad is FUCKING DIO... his Jonathan's body ofc, and Giorno himself is one of the things that reminded me of Part 1, him and Jonathan are really alike, and yet so different, Giorno is kind, noble, serious and determinated, but unlike Jonathan, he's not innocent at all, nor does he let his emotions take him over, he knows what he's going up against and he's known since he was a little child, he's ready for what the world is going to throw at him, unlike his neck down dad, protecc Jonathan.
Now, the gang, it's not my favorite cast tbh but they're really good nonetheless, i specially like Narancia because traps are not gay (Fr now he's cool), but the way death is handled here is pretty different from the other parts, nearly everyone here is used to killing, and some, made for killing, the villain of the week does not "retire", they fucking die, as well as some of our heroes, rest in peace Buccellati, Abbacchio and Narancia, i love all of you, most of the gang members are awesome characters, and then there's the tragedy of Fugo, which will cure my blue balls after i read Purple Haze Feedback. Also Polnareff, i absolutely was expecting someone from previous parts to come back, i had a hunch but man, Polnareff? Amazing, too bad he loses his stand literally when he first appears and then turns into a turtle... yeah, shit.
The stands are not that different to those in Part 4 when it comes to complexity, though towards the end they do start getting slightly harder to follow, and no i don't mean King Crimson, he's not that hard to understand, more like Green Day, i know it's a meme but ffs, erasing time is the worst way to define it, it's more like he skips time or some shit, it's a cool stand, but how does he work? Well if you don't actually know, NARANCIA IS SMARTER THAT YO ASS.
Aaand finally, Diavolo as the villain, he's currently not on my top 3 Jojo baddies because i was slacking with reviews and i already like Part 6 villain more than him, but he is pretty awesome nonetheless, i definitely don't think we had enough moments with him, or more character development up until the end, hell, Buccellati was Diavolo for longer than Diavolo was himself, he's cool but not on my top list, Doppio is awesome though... but man i don't think Diavolo deserved what happened to him, what was that? GER happened, the most OP Stando ever... from what i know, i'm not a Jojo god since i'm still reading, but from what i know, i don't think any stands can beat Gold Experience Requiem, some dudes saying The World could, really man? The fuck is wrong with yo head.
Anywho, i'd say Part 5 is one of my top favorite parts, it was really enjoyable, with awesome villains, creative stands, charming cast and a pretty unique Jo- GioGio, you'll most definitely love it, and don't skip it, because, repeat with me. YOU SKIP A PART? LET'S KILL DA HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!Thanks for reading everyone <3
