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 scenery of Venezuela in which the title fades in as the sun begins shining through the clouds in the background.
The camera then rapidly zooms into the title, transitioning into many recollections of Giorno Giovanna and Team Bucciarati's journey thus far, beginning with Giorno standing in front of Polpo in his cell with his lighter and Black Sabbath besides him. The camera zooms into one of Polpo's paintings and features Leone Abbacchio and Moody Blues facing Mario Zucchero and Soft Machine. Then inside Abbacchio's eye, Guido Mista battles Sale and Kraft Work. The scene fades into the showdown between Narancia and Formaggio, then Pannacotta Fugo seeing Illuso and Man in the Mirror inside of a mirror, Pesci hooking Prosciutto as Bruno Bucciarati drags him out of a speeding train, Giorno 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 as dawn breaks behind him.
The animation cuts to a scene of Bucciarati in the elevator with the level indicator translucent in the center of the frame and a zipper unzipping over Bucciarati to change him to a different color palette. Bucciarati's hand is shown holding Trish Una's as her own hand is severed off-screen, before cutting to Bucciarati's face twisted in anger as he lets out an angry shout, as the camera fades into a wide shot of the San Giorgio Maggiore belfry seen from the clouds. We then see a leg shot of Team Bucciarati at the docks outside the church, each member walking toward the boat to openly rebel against Passione in the order of Giorno at the front, then Abbacchio, Mista, and Bucciarati. Narancia briefly hesitates before running after them, and Fugo takes a single step forward before stopping completely.
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 himself moves out from behind. Narancia enters and leads shot from Aerosmith before Mista appears to fire his gun, Sex Pistols riding the bullets then jumping off, and Trish summons her Stand Spice Girl, which begins to throw several punches towards the left. Trish's face then closes and centers to occupy the whole screen while turning 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 putting his hand up to his ear, then covering his face. The camera zooms back into him, and Doppio's face becomes worried yet entranced as the camera enters his eye to reveal a Sardinian beach 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 suddenly appear. The unseen Boss then appears, summoning King Crimson to clash against Giorno and Gold Experience which launches a flurry of punches. An Arrow with a special beetle design is seen rotating in the sky, before the animation cuts to Giorno kneeling in the middle of a thick cloud, a determined look on his face. He lifts his arm to reveal said arrow and holds it high in the air while summoning Gold Experience, then dramatically pulls it in. The camera focuses on Giorno and Gold Experience's faces as they are engulfed in a bright golden light from below.
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 oval frame with a checkered background, "Golden Wind" in a blue space filled with pink flowers. The opening animation ends on a zooming out shot of the show title in a blue and slightly cloudy sky.
