In Video Games
Jump Ultimate Stars (DS Game)
Giorno appears as a both support and help Koma-character, and is also the only representative character from Part V to appear in the game.
His supports use Gold Experience (2-Koma) or Gold Experience Requiem (3-Koma) to attack with his "MUDAMUDAMUDA!!!" and his help Koma boosts the special attack gauge recovery when blocking or attacking with a support character.
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)
Giorno makes his playable debut with the rest of Buccellati's Gang is one of the main playable characters in the game, being voiced by Romi Park.
He can use his Stand, Gold Experience, to create life and use it to his favor. For example: Using his Stand, he 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 follows the enemy (A useless ability, but it shows the game's loyalty to the manga). Giorno's main Stand attack is his "MUDAMUDAMUDA!!!" 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 uses Gold Experience; only during the final chapter will Gold Experience Requiem be used instead. G.E.Requiem possesses most of Golden Experience's attacks, but instead of using his ability to create life G.E.Requiem will shoot insects in bullet form, making a long-ranged attack. G.E.R can also counter attack Diavolo's King Crimson, when Diavolo uses his ability; If GER's ability is activated Giorno will stay frozen in erased time, but GER can freely move and attack Diavolo during King Crimson's effect.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle (PS3)
Giorno appears as one of the playable characters in the game. He is voiced by Daisuke Namikawa this time around, with his previous seiyuu, Romi Park, instead voicing Koichi Hirose. He was confirmed for the game alongside Mista, Polnareff and Kakyoin.
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 (similar to Luca's attack backfiring during the initial chapters of Part V) and sends them flying. He can create an snake that will follow the enemy and bite them (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, depending on the input. The ability to create a tree returns, but instead of attacking an enemy, Giorno will climb along the tree, giving him the chance to attack (recreating this ability shown during his second encounter with Koichi in the manga) or working as a counter-attack.
Giorno's main "MUDAMUDAMUDA!!!" also returns, but this time he can also use it as series of kicks (Similar to the series of kicks he defeated Ghiaccio with in the manga) and his "WRYYY!!!" works as an upward-hitting move. Overall, most of Giorno's taunts and sidestep poses is taken from the manga covers and "last pages" drawings. Giorno is also one of the five characters who activate Preparedness Mode (where attacks other than hard knockdowns no longer make them wince/flinch; 'Super Armor'), the others being Buccellati, Mista, Fugo, and Ermes Costello of Part VI.
Giorno's HHA is a slow-motion punch from Gold Experience (taken from his his first encounter with Buccellati). The same HHA works differently with different characters (as Gold Experience will recreate a similar action against the character in question, such as jabbing its thumb in Jonathan's eye like Dio did, or punching DIO in the upper head like Star Platinum has).
Giorno's GHA has him use the Arrow to evolve Gold Experience into Gold Experience Requiem, requiring roughly 3 seconds on an animation to play uninterrupted. GER gameplay allows Giorno to use it ability of "returning things to zero" in order to nullify any movement and action from the enemy, generating a black radius that interrupts them if caught. Giorno's "MUDAMUDAMUDA!!!" is also extended to around 4-5 seconds, making it one of the longest normal moves in the game. However, Requiem Mode only lasts for as long as the Heart Heat Gauge has meter in it, continuously draining it, unlike the manga and other games, GER will revert back to Gold Experience once the HHG runs out.
- If Giorno activates Gold Experience Requiem during Pucci's GHA, the slowdown effect on Giorno will be nullified due to GER powers, making him one of the only two characters who can counter Made in Heaven's effects, the other being "Kosaku Kawajiri's" Bites the Dust.
Besides the entire cast from Part V, Giorno possesses special dialogue before a fight with DIO or Koichi. When fighting Koichi, Koichi will demand his suitcase and passport back (recreating their first encounter during the initial Part V chapters). While fighting DIO, where Giorno admits that DIO was the person he wanted to meet most, DIO does not recognize him. If Giorno wins, he will say that he will use the power he inherited from his father for is own dreams. If DIO wins, he will admit to liking Giorno.
Giorno and Gold Experience also appear on the cover for the Italian version of the game. Since Giorno is never shown in any other outfit, all of his alternate costumes are based on alterations to his outfit shown only in chapter/volume covers, such as the one based on his Volume 59 appearance and another one based on his Volume 63 appearance.
Eyes of Heaven (PS4/PS3)
Giorno Giovanna was confirmed for the game alongside Mista, Fugo and Narancia.
His GHA has Gold Experience pummeling the opponent over an extended period of time while the camera shifts perspective angle multiple times, ending with a downward swinging punch that sends them into the ground (referencing his iconic 7-page long beating of Cioccolata).
Giorno has Dual Heat Attacks with Guido Mista and Bruno Buccellati, and his father.
With Mista, where Mista unloads an entire clip at the opponent, each bullet getting redirected by Sex Pistols multiple times to hit them at different angles. Giorno subsequently appears from behind and jumps high into the air until he is directly above the opponent, proceeding to stomp down on them several times with Gold Experience, the final kick hitting with the impact to launch him off and create a shockwave.
With Buccellati, the two inform the opponent of their preparedness in unison before Gold Experience and Sticky Fingers pummel their target followed by a joint uppercut that sends them high into the air.
With DIO, Gold Experience and The World pummel their target with steadily increasing power, yelling out their shared Stand Cry in unison before they deliver a powerful strike that sends the opponent reeling.
Tournament
He is paired with Mista in the Eyes of Heaven tournament.
Trivia
- 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.
- Koichi Hirose and Giorno share same voice actress, Romi Park, though in different games. Romi Park voiced Giorno in the Part V 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 V character; Mista ranked 7th, Diavolo at 4th, & Bucellati in 3rd place.
