In Video Games
Jump Ultimate Stars
He appears as a support and help character. His supports use Gold Experience or Gold Experience Requiem to attack and his help koma increases the special attack gauge when blocking or attacking with a support character. He is the only PART V character to appear in the game.He has an ally boost with Dio.
GioGio's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Whirlwind
Giorno is one of the main playable characters in the game. He can use his stand, Gold Experience, to create life and use it in his favor, for example: Giorno can create roots to capture the enemy and Giorno a chance to attack. Gold Experience can also create trees to inflict high damage and transform Giorno's brooch into a ladybug or a frog, which will follow the enemy (It's a useless ability, but it shows how the game is truly loyal to the manga). Giorno's main stand attack is his mudamuda war cry series of punches (which can be charged to extend the punches' duration).
During all the chapters where Giorno is playable (and all the missions in ANOTHER STORY) he will use Gold Experience; only on the final chapter will Giorno use Gold Experience Requiem. G.E.R has most of the G.E moveset, but instead of using his ability to create life G.E.R will shoot insects in bullet form, making this a long-range attack. G.E.R can also counter attack Diavolo's King Crimson, when Diavolo uses his ability; if GER is activated Giorno will stay frozen in time, but GER can freely make any movements and attack Diavolo during King Crimson's effect.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle (PS3 Game)
Giorno appears as one of the playable characters in the game. Again, during his normal moveset he can use Gold Experience to create life for attacking and counter-attacking. He can create a frog from his brooch that deflects enemy damage back at them (pretty much how Luka did during the first chapters of PART V). The ability to create a tree is back, but instead of attacking an enemy, Giorno will climb along the tree, giving him the chance to attack (exactly how he appeared for the second time for Koichi in the manga).
Giorno's main mudamuda is back, but this time he can also use it as series of kicks (just like how he defeated Ghiaccio's in the manga). Overall, most of Giorno's taunts and sidestep poses is taken from the manga covers and "last pages" drawings.
Giorno's GHA allows him to use the arrow to make Gold Experience evolve into Gold Experience Requiem (but it requires around 3-4 seconds to make it work). During G.E.R gameplay, it allows Giorno to use the "return to point zero" ability to nullify any movement from the enemy, creating a medium circle effect if touches the enemy the attack will lose it's effect. Giorno's mudamuda also gets extended, around 4-5 seconds, making it one of the longest normal moves in the game. However, unlike the previous game and the manga, GER will revert back to Gold Experience after certain amount of time.
- If Giorno activates Gold Experience Requiem during Pucci's GHA, the slowdown effect on Giorno will be nullified, due to G.E.R powers, making him the only character who can counter-attack Pucci's Maden In Heaven's effects.
Trivia
- Giorno's name written in katakana is not ゴルノ・ゴバアーナ (Goruno Gobana) or ギョルノ・ギョバアーナ (Gyoruno Gyobana), but as ジョルノ・ジョバアーナ (Joruno Jobana). This is to reflect the pronunciation of GioGio in Italian.
- Giorno is the only JoJo confirmed not to have been born a JoJo; he was born Haruno Shiobana. His name in Romaji also shows that he is the only JoJo without the letter "J" in his name.
- Giorno's hair was originally a black bowl cut. However, when his stand powers awakened, his hair became gold and spiked with spiral-like bangs. This hairstyle is also associated with chocolate cornets: the notation "@@@" refers to Giorno's unique hairstyle and is often used by fans to refer to him.
- Giorno takes after his father's "Muda Muda Muda..." battle cry, only shouting the last "Muda" as a finishing blow. He also pulls off a "WRYYYYYY!" during his fight with Cioccolata.
- Giorno's favorite musical is Les Misérables; his least favorite foods are chicken and especially duck.
- A common aspect of Giorno's wardrobe involves wearing ladybug-themed jewelry, and his Stand also sports ladybug insignias. As ladybugs symbolically represent good luck throughout Europe, and it is considered bad luck to kill one, this can represent Gold Experience's powers of returning damage back to the attacker of its creations.
- In an interview, Araki stated that he based Giorno's appearance on Michelangelo's "David". The cover of volume 62 was based off a Renaissance painting as well.
- Giorno is the second blond character with a pigtail to lose a hand who was voiced by Romi Park, the first having been Edward Elric of Fullmetal Alchemist.
- Koichi Hirose and Giorno share same voice actress, Romi Park, though in different games. Romi Park voiced Giorno in the Part 5 PS2 game and Koichi in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle .
- By the end of Stone Ocean, Giorno is one of three JoJo's who was not killed prior to Made In Heaven's universal reset, the other two being Joseph and Josuke. Many fans speculate that he may have survived the stand's effect using Gold Experience Requiem's ability.
- In the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle video game, Giorno is able to nullify the effects of Made In Heaven when activating Gold Experience Requiem, furthering the probability that Giorno had survived Made In Heaven's Big Bang.
- In Araki's top Ten Favourite Characters in 2000, Giorno ranked 5th, Arakis second favorite JoJo and third favorite Part 5 character. While Mista ranked as 7th, Diavolo as 4th, & Bucellati as 3rd.
- Giorno, Joseph, Josuke, and Jonathan , are the only Jojo protagonists to completly lose the battles they faced in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle League.
