Giorno's appearance in the PS2 videogame

Major Battles

In Video Games

Jump Ultimate Stars (DS Game)

He appears as a support and help character. His supports use Gold Experience (2 Koma) or Gold Experience Requiem (3 Koma) to attack with his "Muda Muda" 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's one of the 3 characters who serves as an ally boost to DIO (along with Jonathan and Taizou from Taizou Mote King manga series).

GioGio's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Whirlwind (PS2 Game)

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 giving 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 Muda Muda 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), he can create an snake that will follow the enemy and bite him (the same snake Giorno created during the events of Illuso's Man In The Mirror) and even a small sword-fish that will work as an air attack. 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) or working as a counter-attack.

Giorno's main Muda Muda is back, but this time he can also use it as series of kicks (just like how he defeated Ghiaccio's in the manga) and his WRYYY works as an uppercut move. Overall, most of Giorno's taunts and sidestep poses is taken from the manga covers and "last pages" drawings. Since Giorno never showed any other costume, his two alternate costumes is both based on his cover's attire, one being based on his Volume 59 appareance and another one basead on his Volume 63 appearance .

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 Muda Muda 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 Made 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 as his original name was Haruno Shiobana.
  • His hairstyle is 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.
  • 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 .
  • In Araki's top Ten Favourite Characters in 2000, Giorno ranked 5th, Araki's second favorite JoJo and third favorite Part 5 character. Mista ranked 7th, Diavolo at 4th, & Bucellati in 3rd place.
  • If Giorno fights Part 3 DIO in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle, they will have a special intro dialogue before the fight, where Giorno admits he was waiting to meet DIO, whilst DIO does not recognize him. If DIO wins, he will admit to liking Giorno.
  • If Giorno fights Koichi in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle, they will have a special dialogue before the fight, where Koichi says "I want my suitcase and passport back!" and Giorno replies "Could that be...?", recreating the dialogue they had on the first chapters of PART V: VENTO AUREO .
