Vento Aureo
Vento Aureo (黄金の風, Ōgon no Kaze, lit. "Golden Wind") is the fifth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, published in Weekly Shonen Jump between 1995 and 1999.
The story follows Giorno Giovanna and his dream to rise within the Neapolitan mafia to defeat Passione's boss.
Plot Summary
Gold Experience
Koichi Hirose arrives in Naples at Jotaro Kujo's request in order to investigate Haruno Shiobana, also known as Giorno Giovanna; Dio's son.
Giorno expresses his dream of rising within the mafia in order to become a "Gangstar".
Giorno is attacked by Leaky-Eye Luca, a member of Naples' dominant gang Passione, who dies upon having his aggression reflected at him by Giorno's Stand power.
Buccellati's Coming
In response, Giorno is confronted by Bruno Buccellati, Luca's superior; who attacks with his Stand, Sticky Fingers.
Exceeding Buccallati's expectations and defeating him, Giorno establishes a rapport with Buccelleti by exposing a mutual distaste for Passione's practices in dealing heroin.
The Gangster Beyond the Wall
After this, Buccellati offers Giorno a chance to join Passione by completing a test imposed by Polpo, a high-ranking member operating from prison.
Gang Enrollment
Giorno protects Polpo's lit lighter as part of his test. Koichi complicates Giorno's task when he enters Giorno's hotel room in search of his passport.
When the flame is extinguished by a passing street cleaner, Black Sabbath appears, producing an Arrow from its mouth and killing him.
Giorno explains his aspiration to Koichi. Based on this and Giorno's reaction to the cleaner's death, Koichi acknowledges him as the spiritual descendant of the Joestar family.
Having recieved Koichi's advice as to the nature of Polpo's Stand, after recieving his membership badge, Giorno kills Polpo.
5 Plus 1
Buccellati explains to Giorno the structure of Passione, and that if they wish to come close to the Boss, they require a higher rank.
Giorno meets Buccellati's comrades (as part of Buccellati's Gang); Narancia, Mista, Abbacchio and Fugo; who despise him at first.
Find Polpo's Fortune!
Two gangsters discuss Polpo's apparent suicide and the rumor of his hidden fortune; as Buccellati takes his group on a yacht to Capri in order to recover this ¥600,000,000; with which he aims to buy a position as an Operative.
Mystery of Soft Machine
Narancia, Mista and Fugo disappear after an attack by a hidden assailant. Giorno volunteers to be attacked; is stabbed by an arm emerging from the lower deck, and then deflated like a balloon. Abbacchio activates his Stand Moody Blues, replaying Narancia's history, showing the moment he was also deflated.
Moody Blues' Retaliation
Moody Blues shows Narancia as having been hidden in a pipe while deflated. After Abbacchio allows himself to be attacked while tracing him, it is revealed that their boat was layered early by another deflated boat; and Mario Zucchero of the Stand Soft Machine is defeated by Buccellati.
Sex Pistols Arrives
Zucchero is exposed as a Roman gangster and subsequently tortured, before Moody Blues shows him radioing the group's destination, suggesting that his partner has by now overtaken the group to Capri.
Revealing his Stand Sex Pistols, Mista rides with Giorno ahead of the group directly to the Marina Grande port of the island.
Giorno radios the the station at the port in the hope of exposing Zucchero's partner; who emerges from inside. Mista wanders into his view, shooting his leg as he flees to a truck stationed beyond on a cliffside road; pursuing and again shooting him in the forehead. Surviving, Sale reveals his Stand, Kraft Work; capable of freezing objects in place by touching them.
Sale is defeated when with Sex Pistols, Mista again strikes the bullet lodged in his skull.
The Six Hundred Million Yen
The Location of the Six Hundred Million Yen
Buccellati's gang gathers in a public restroom on Capri. Summoned earlier, an Operative named Pericolo collects the ¥600,000,000 (stored with Sticky Fingers behind a urinal), before in turn bestowing Buccellati the status of an Operative; along with Polpo's last order from the Boss: Protect his daughter; who is present along with Pericolo disguised as a cleaner.
The Boss' First Assignment
Operative Buccellati; The Boss' First Assignment
Trish Una is introduced by Pericolo.
Pericolo explains that two months prior, Trish's mother Donatella died two days after commissioning an independent search for Solido Naso; the Boss' false identity. Members of Passione learned of these events, and the Boss ordered Pericolo to find and hide Trish; revealing that he is her father. Soon, traitors within the gang began an attempt to kidnap her, aiming to overthrow the Boss.
Pericolo gives the length of Buccellati's assignment as one week, explaining that the Boss is trying to identify his pursuers, and that like Polpo, the traitors are Stand users.
Elsewhere, another member learns via instant messaging of Polpo's death; concluding that his assignment must have passed onto another Operative and Stand user.
Narancia's Aerosmith
Narancia brings groceries and items of Trish's request back to the group's hideout. In the car prepared for him by Fugo, Formaggio appears, striking Narancia with his Stand Little Feet. Narancia retaliates with Aerosmith, as Formaggio deduces that Buccellati's group is hiding Trish, and Narancia finds himself shrinking.
Narancia's unfortunate history and the circumstances of his joining Passione are detailed.
A desperate fight ensues between a shrunken Formaggio and a shrinking Narancia. Narancia is overcome; and the history of Formaggio's traitorous group of assassins is given, including the account of the deaths of Sorbet and Gelato. Formaggio suggests that Trish's Stand represents a clue as to the Boss' identity.
Trapped, Narancia destroys his car, hurting Formaggio and removing Little Feet's effect on him. Having generated too much carbon dioxide with the fire, harming the sensitivity of his radar, Narancia destroys more cars to trap Formaggio; finally defeating him at close range.
The Boss' Second Assignment
Buccellati and the gang receive a message from the Boss via e-mail requesting they find a "key" that will grant them safe passage to their destination. Buccellati, Narancia, and Mista stay behind to protect Trish while Giorno, Abbacchio, and Fugo head to the ruins of Pompeii to retrieve the key. There, Fugo spots a strange figure in a mirror that Giorno and Abbacchio can't see.
Man in the Mirror and Purple Haze
The figure in the mirror is revealed to be Illuso, a member of the assassination squad. His stand Man in the Mirror entraps Fugo in a mirror world, leaving Fugo's stand Purple Haze behind in the real one. Abbacchio decides to put the mission before his fellow gang member and moves ahead to the "dog mosaic" where the key is hidden. Giorno stays behind. This allows Illuso to trap Abbacchio in the mirror world as well, and a struggle for the key ensues.
Abbacchio severs his own hand so that Moody Blues can deliver the key to Giorno. Illusio traps Giorno in the mirror world, only to find he has brought a deadly disease (the virus Purple Haze spreads) in with him. Illuso dies, and Giorno takes the disease's antidote from a snake created by Gold Experience.
The Express Train Towards Florence
Before boarding a train to Florence per the Boss' instructions, Buccellati discovers that the key fits into the back of a turtle. This turtle is a stand user that allows the entire gang to shrink down and enter a small, furnished room inside of its body. The gang boards the train hiding inside the turtle.
Meanwhile, partner assassins Pesci and Prosciutto also board the train in search of Trish. Pesci uses his stand Beach Boy to search for the gang, but fails to discover where they are hidden.
The Grateful Dead
Unable to locate Buccellati's gang or Trish, Prosciutto uses his stand The Grateful Dead to make everyone on board the train grow older and older. The gang discover that keeping one's body temperature cooler can help to reverse the aging process (this "loophole" was meant to keep Trish from aging too fast).
Equipped with a few ice cubes, Mista exits the turtle in search of the assassins. He encounters Pesci and easily incapacitates him, stealing his ice cubes. However, before Mista can get any information out of Pesci, Prosciutto attacks and nearly kills Mista.
Sex Pistol Number Six returns to the rest of the gang in time to warn Buccellati just as the two assassins discover the turtle. Buccellati jumps out of the train taking Prosciutto with him, and uses Pesci's Beach Boy against him in order to save himself and throw Prosciutto from the train.
Prosciutto manages to barely survive, but his heavy injuries and certain death enrage Pesci. Buccellati is forced to unzip himself into a dangerous amount of separate pieces in order to avoid Pesci's constant, quick attacks. In a final showdown between the two, Buccellati unzips his own fist to deliver the final blow before Pesci can kill everyone inside the turtle.
The gang is no longer able to travel via the train. Trish reveals to Buccellati that she can see Stands.
Baby Face
Melone, a member of the assassination squad, arrives at the scene of Pesci and Prosciutto's deaths and retrieves a sample of Buccellati's DNA. Using this and his stand Baby Face, Melone "impregnates" a hot-headed young woman on board the train in order to "birth" a remote Stand that will pursue Buccellati. This remote Stand (also called Baby Face) quickly grows to full size, killing its mother and catching up to the gang using Melone's motorcycle.
The gang is in the process of stealing a car when Baby Face catches up to them. Capturing both Trish and Buccellati, Baby Face steals a piece of Giorno's throat, rendering him unable to call to the rest of the gang for help.
Gold Experience and Baby Face are opposites: Gold Experience creates life while Baby Face takes it away. After a tense give-and-take between the two, Baby Face tires of following Melone's advice and flies into a rage, allowing Giorno to easily defeat it.
Towards Venice
A piece of Baby Face (turned into a snake via Gold Experience) returns to Melone and poisons him.
Buccellati's gang successfully steal a car, and receive a message from the Boss via Abbacchio's Moody Blues. In this Stand-created afterimage, Pericolo reveals the location of a "disk" the gang must find in Venice before killing himself.
A new member of the assassination squad follows in hot pursuit.

Parte 5 End Scene
Trivia
- This arc was initially referred to as Dai Go-bun Giorno Giovana: Ōgon naru Isan (第5部 ジョルノ・ジョバァーナ ―黄金なる遺産―, Dai Go Bu Joruno Jobāana Ōgon naru Isan), lit. "Part 5 Giorno Giovana: Golden Heritage".
- Since the arc takes place in Italy, the series title is written in Italian as Le Bizzarre Avventure di GioGio.
- Araki said that he used male idol groups and Italian fashion as the visual inspirations for this part. He wanted to design the main cast in a "pretty boy image" to deliberately contrast the taller, muscular protagonists from previous arcs. Araki remarked that the gay undertones found within certain scenes were included as a homage to the eroticism generally found within the fashion industry. He didn't think that events or character relationships had any deeper meanings behind them until fans brought it to his attention.[3]
