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 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.

English Lyrics
Faith is just another worthless sign I will live my life as a Godless soul Gang-Star
My fear's gone, it is gone Only rage is left in my faithless world Since I have betrayed my god All is gone, now revenge This fate is mine I will survive on my own This is my way to stay gold
Oh yes, it's eye for an eye for the betrayer and thief Requiem, oh, whoa whoa
"Fight with me!" "There is no hope, I've tried" Won't give up, it's my destiny Don’t care Don’t you ever give them mercy When my life is gone with the wind Will our prayer vanish into dust? Hell no! Starting over Golden wind
Nothing more to lose, there’s no more Fire lives on, burning every road to past Days have gone by so fast Don't let your soul draw into the power of repose Stand up inside yourself Making your own story
Oh yes, show some pride for the betrayer and thief Requiem, oh, whoa whoa
Fight with me, with your raging fists Let your soul burn indiscriminately Don’t care I’m on the way to the true wisdom We'll all fight, we're gonna fight the pain You and me against the ( unknown ) Hell no! It all begins with Golden Wind
Ohhh we going to win
"Fight with me!" "There is no hope, I've tried" Won’t give up, it’s my destiny Don’t care! Don’t you ever give them mercy When my life is gone with the wind,
Will our prayer vanish into dust? Hell no!
Starting over with golden wind!
