"I'm planning on defeating your boss and taking over this city... In order to get rid of the gangsters that sell drugs to children... you have to become a gang member yourself."

- Giorno Giovanna,

Vento Aureo (黄金の風), translated into English as Golden Wind, is the fifth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from December 1995 to April 1999. Originally titled JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5 Giorno Giovanna: Golden Heritage (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 第5部 ジョルノ・ジョバァーナ【黄金なる遺産】), the part spans a total of 155 chapters and takes place after Diamond is Unbreakable.

Set in 2001 Italy, the story follows Giorno Giovanna and his dream to rise within the Neapolitan mafia and defeat the boss of Passione, the most powerful and influential gang, in order to become a "Gang-Star". With the aid of a capo and his men, and fueled by his own resolve, Giorno sets out to fulfill his goal of absolving the mafia of its corruption.

Gold Experience Requiem
Diavolo decides to confront Giorno, having foreseen the Arrow rejecting him for being "unworthy", and attacks Gold Experience as Giorno pierces his Stand with the Arrow, to no effects at first view. King Crimson smashes Gold Experience's face, revealing something underneath.

As King Crimson attacks Gold Experience once more, Diavolo realizes that the Stand is nothing more than a heap of molted skin. He looks up to see Giorno with a brand new Stand: Gold Experience Requiem. At first, Gold Experience Requiem doesn't show anything new so Diavolo erases time and moves in to finish Giorno off. However, the erased time is then restored. Gold Experience Requiem itself talks to Diavolo and presents its ability to return any action or process to zero, which means King Crimson's power is rendered moot. Powerless, Diavolo cannot stop Gold Experience Requiem from violently pummeling him into the Tiber.

Although he emerges from the water, Diavolo quickly finds that King Crimson was destroyed and that he himself is now trapped in an endless death loop, dying again and again but never reaching the end of his death. His reign is now ended.
