[[File:JOJO OP8 Illustration 1.gif|thumb|270px]]
A bleeding hand appears, the blood dripping onto the floor before chains sprout forth from the puddles and surround [[Giorno Giovanna|Giorno]], who keeps a defensive pose, but a determined gaze. Rose petals fly past him, turning him into a silhouette of himself. The scene changes to [[Guido Mista|Mista]] running into the light. Surrounded by the chains, the gunslinger draws his revolver, prepared to shoot. He too turns into a silhouette before the camera zooms into the barrel. The rifling suddenly transforms into a spiral of chains, in the middle of which [[Trish Una|Trish]] helplessly falls, her face apathetic. She fades into her silhouette before she falls out of the frame and the chains shatter.
 
[[File:JOJO OP8 Illustration 1.gif|thumb|270px|The logo appears]]
The scene cuts to a stone head of [[Leone Abbacchio|Abbacchio]]'s former [[Abbacchio's Partner|partner]] hitting the ground and turning into sand, the same sand which flows into and out of Abbacchio's hands. Abbacchio finds himself in a hourglass (framed by a pattern featured on a [[King Crimson|certain Stand]]), revealing his feet sinking into the sand while the camera pans to reveal the other side, his silhouetted double burdened by a mass of chains flowing upside-down into its hands from the hourglass' neck where the stream of sand would be coming in. The camera zooms towards his hands before multiple chains zoom forward past the camera, revealing multiple interposed shots of [[Narancia Ghirga|Narancia]] framed inside chain links with different lighting until his full silhouette is seen from the back staring away with the wind blowing.

The scene cuts to a symmetrical shot of [[Pannacotta Fugo|Fugo]], the screen slit in a [[Man in the Mirror and Purple Haze (Story Arc)|mirrored fashion]] as he turns to look at the camera before leaning back, before his silhouetted face emerges and lunges back. Cue another chain link transitioning into [[Bruno Bucciarati|Bruno]] walking with resolve among the chains and a blocky wall to his right, as well as [[The Requiem Quietly Plays (Story Arc)|a small sun rotating behind his head]], submerging him in shadow and gradually silhouetting his body. Suddenly, the silhouettes fade to reveal the members of [[Team Bucciarati]], save Mista, who all summon their [[Stand]]s. Cut to a black and white scene where a bloodied hand (possibly Giorno's from the beginning) taps the chains and recoils as they turn into green vines, and the background becomes stark white.

Sticky Fingers opens a zipper revealing a panning shot of [[Diavolo|a figure]] in a fetal position draped in a cloth among floating rose petals. The figure is revealed to be Trish, under different coloring, who turns and looks into the light. Cut to a scene where all the members of the gang firmly gaze at the light before they all follow Bucciarati towards it, in the foreground, the vines revert back into chains and three of the six chains are broken as the path to the light opens up for the characters to thread on. The opening ends of a shot of ''Vento Aureo'''s symbol in the trademark checkered background of the series.

==Trivia==
*Lyricist [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=6736 Neko Oikawa] and composer [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=6365 Toshiyuki Omori] are best known for their previous work together on "{{W|A Cruel Angel's Thesis}}", the opening theme of ''{{W|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}''; "Fighting Gold" is their first collaboration in 23 years.
*This is so far the only opening so far to not feature a variant with sound effects.
*The trio of Bucciarati, Abbacchio, and Narancia being surrounded by chains, foreshadows their roles as the "[[Sleeping Slaves (Story Arc)|Sleeping Slaves]]" whose fates are already decided and known before the story even begins. This is further solidified with the Stand [[Rolling Stones]] appearing for a brief moment at the beginning of the opening, with Bucciarati's face on it.
*This is so far the only opening to not feature a variant with sound effects.
