Requiem for a Traitor
Opening Animation
The animation opens on a shot of a closed window, followed by an underling kissing his master's hand and then a scenery of Venice in which the title fades in.
The camera then rapidly zooms into the title, transitioning into many recollections of the adventure so far, beginning with Giorno facing Polpo in his cell with his lighter and Black Sabbath besides him. The camera zooms into one of the paintings and features Leone Abbacchio and Moody Blues facing Mario Zucchero and Soft Machine. Then inside Abbacchio's eye, Guido Mista faces off Sale and Kraft Work. The scene fades into the clash between Narancia and Formaggio, then Pannacotta Fugo encountering Illuso and Man in the Mirror inside of a mirror, then Pesci hooking Prosciutto as Bruno Bucciarati drags him out of a speeding train, Giorno Giovanna fighting Baby Face and Melone, and Giorno again holding the wounded Mista with Ghiaccio in White Album at the foreground. The camera then focuses on Giorno's determined face.
The animation cuts to a scene of Bucciarati in the elevator with the level indicator translucent in the center of the frame. Bucciarati sees Trish Una's cut hand and yells in shock as the fades into a wide shot of the belfry seen from the clouds. We then see a leg shot of Team Bucciarati going toward the boat to openly rebel against the gang, Narancia hesitating before running after them and Fugo taking one step forward before choosing to remain behind.
On top of an abstract 3D rendered background, Bucciarati demonstrates Sticky Fingers' prowess, which then is replaced with Giorno posing with Gold Experience before Moody Blues transformed as Abbacchio's partner appears from the background, drawing a gun before getting shot as Abbacchio appears from behind. Narancia enters and leads shot from Aerosmith before Mista appears to shoot, Sex Pistols riding the bullets, and then Trish summons her Stand Spice Girl, which begins to throw several punches. Trish's face then closes to occupy the whole screen before she falls away, revealing the whole team falling from the sky while posing.
Vinegar Doppio appears, seeing a vision of Risotto Nero in his hair before heeding a call from the Boss. The camera zooms into his eye to reveal a scenery of Sardinia turning upside down and fading into shadows.
A man's hand is shown bleeding drops of blood, the drops staining the ground until time is erased and more traces of blood appear. The unseen Boss then appears, summoning King Crimson to clash against Giorno and Gold Experience which launches a flurry of punches. One of the Arrows is seen rotating in the sky, before the animation cuts to Giorno kneeling in the middle of a thick cloud, holding the arrow high in the air while summoning Gold Experience before putting it down. The camera then focuses on Giorno and Gold Experience's face as their are engulfed in a bright golden light.
The arrow falls down into a red jewel, before several shots flash in rapid succession: the word "JoJo's" in front of a ladybug background, "Bizarre Adventure" framed in an elaborate frame with a checkered background, "Golden Wind" in a field of pink flowers. The opening animation ends on a zooming out shot of the show title in a blue and slightly cloudy sky.
Lyrics
神の運命(さだめ)にさえ 反旗を翻すGang-star 忘れと言う感情 掻き消すRage 悪夢に背くと誓った日から 報復とは終末か 未来を乞う迷宮 旗を振ってて 挑む者 Stay Gold そうさ、目には目を 裏切り者には レクイエムを 絶望が手招く 世界に立ち向かう Don’t care 慈悲など要らない さあ 身体滅びる時 祈りも消え果てる? Hell no! 始まりのGolden Wind
Romanji :
kami no sadame ni sae
hanki wo hirugaesu Gangster
wasure to iu kanjou kakikesu Rage
akumu ni somuku to chikatta hi kara
houfuku to wa shuumatsu ka mirai wo kou meikyuu
hata wo futtete idomu mono Stay Gold
sou sa, me ni wa me wo uragirimono ni wa rekuiemu wo
zetsubou ga temaneku sekai ni tachimukau
Don’t care jihi nado iranai
saa karada horobiru toki inori mo kiehateru?
Hell no! hajimari no Golden Wind

Faith is just another worthless sign I will live my life as a Godless soul Gang-Star My fear's gone, it is gone Oh yes, it's eye for an eye for the betrayer and thief "Fight with me!" "There is no hope, I've tried" Nothing more to lose, there’s no more
Fight with me, with your raging fists Ohhh we going to win "Fight with me!" "There is no hope, I've tried" Yeah, yeah, yeah! |
