==Summary==
==Summary==
Still in Venice, [[Team Bucciarati]] are navigating in the canals, wary of the [[UnitàSpeciale|elite guard]] of the Boss who must have been informed of their rebellion and sent after them. [[Sex Pistols]] then cry for lunch, causing the team to stop at a restaurant. While [[Mista]], [[Abbacchio]], and [[Narancia]] idly chat about vegetarians and their diet, [[Giorno]] watches the surroundings, wary of the enemy. A civilian bumps into Narancia and gets some wine splashed on his suit but when the civilian yells at him, Narancia, Abbacchio, and Mista mistake him for an enemy and beat him down. At the same time, Giorno worries about Bucciarati's current state.

Abbacchio then asks [[Bucciarati]] what the team must do next. The leader thus explains that The [[Boss]]'s [[Stand]] can erase time and that makes him invincible. However, if they can identify him, then they will be able to assassinate him. [[Trish]] is thus their lead toward the Boss's identity. While Narancia is reluctant to involve Trish, she comes out of her own accord and tells the group that her mother had met the Boss in Sardinia, but that he suddenly left her. Thus Sardinia is where the group can uncover the identity of the Boss before he became a gangster. Trish also affirms her will to go through the whole affair.

While everyone is distracted, Narancia discovers that his spoon has been destroyed by a small shark inside of his soup. He immediately summons [[Aerosmith]] and shoots at it but the shark disappears in the bowl only to reappear inside of the soup in his new spoon and jump to tear off his tongue. Narancia's throat starts to seize up and he cannot inform his team that the shark can teleport between liquids but he is saved from choking when Giorno stabs his trachea with a pen to let him breathe while he creates a new tongue. At the same time, a duo of [[Passione]] operative, [[Squalo]] and [[Tiziano]], observe the scene from a balcony. Seeing Giorno's resourcefulness, Squalo notes that his [[Clash]] will not be enough to kill them all but that he and Tiziano plan to use Narancia to their advantage.

Narancia recovers from the wound but informs Bucciarati that the enemy Stand was a large rocky thing and that they should go through the canals. Insisting on this misinformation, Narancia is internally shocked that he cannot tell the truth and keeps feeding false intel to his companions. The group starts to believe the lies, forcing Narancia to try to stop Giorno from boarding their boat. Bucciarati decides to tackle the enemy and tells Abbacchio to use [[Moody Blues]] to track them. However, Narancia realizes that Moody Blues will be in grave danger in the water. When Clash appears in the canal, Narancia points at it, only for his arm to point at the bathrooms. Annoyed at Narancia's antics, Team Bucciarati enters the bathroom where Clash has many water sources to attack from. Crying from despair, Narancia vows to make his enemy pay as is it revealed that Tiziano has set up his [[Talking Head]], a small Stand having attached itself to Narancia's tongue and forcing him to tell lies.

{{Quote|1. Venice in the Afternoon
The previous episodes took place around dawn, but by this episode, the sun has risen and the streets of Venice are in full view. Producer Kasama explains the color of the water: "I pictured Venice as a beautiful city on the water, but after actually going there, I saw that the water is really a murky green."
2. Narancia Backed into a Corner
Talking Head forces Narancia to say the opposite of what he means. The manga portrays the whole ordeal more comically, but Kasama decided to reinterpret the mood by shifting it to Narancia's point of view, adding suspense to the scene.
3. The "G" in Guts
The title references a chapter from [[volume 56]] of the manga. The "G" formed by Giorno and the others was memorable, and the staff initially wanted to add it in the anime. "It never made it past the brainstorming phase, but in a different timeline, the first shot of the second opening might have featured that 'G' shape..."
4. Squalo and Tizzano Appear
Bodies pressed against each other, Squalo and Tizzano left quite an impact. "We based it on the manga panels, but with the addition of Maeno and Tsuda's voices and the slow, deliberate animation, it immediately felt suggestive." Kasama recalls that amongst the female staff, [[Melone]] stands heads above the rest, but this duo was also a staff favorite.|Nobutaka Kasama, Blu-ray limited edition commentaries}}

Sex Pistols then cry for lunch, causing the team to stop at a restaurant.

Clash attacks Giorno from a puddle
In the restrooms, Abbacchio summons Moody Blues to find the enemy, but Narancia barges in to keep his friends far from any water. Talking Head manipulates his tongue to open a faucet which he dries with paper, and Narancia then disgusts Abbacchio by urinating on the toilet he intended to put Moody Blues in. Exasperated, the group leaves the bathroom but Giorno stays a bit to look for Narancia. Talking Head then uses Narancia's tongue again to grab his knife and cut his wrist, baiting Giorno near the flowing blood. However, Narancia shoots at a pipe with Aerosmith, heating it with his tracer bullets to cauterize his own cut.
Giorno finally understands that Narancia is being forced to lie by an enemy ability to Narancia's relief. However, water starts leaking from the damaged pipe, creating a large puddle from which Clash emerges and tears at Giorno's throat.
An original scene of Team Bucciarati in the canals has been added.

Originally, Narancia suspects something happened to his tongue when he was attacked and uses a mirror to inspect it.
In the manga, before Giorno gets on the boat in the canal, Narancia makes more of a physical effort to keep Giorno away, tells more lies, and tries to make Giorno look at his tongue. Instead, Mista notices Narancia has been covering his mouth and takes a look at his tongue but notices nothing suspicious.
Originally, Narancia thinks to himself that if Moody Blues transforms in the water it will get ambushed before anything can be figured out.
Narancia unsuccessfully communicating to the group through writing and the group's reaction have been removed.
