Résumé
Ⅰ．vitti 'na crozza
L'histoire commence dans le Stadio Giuseppe Meazza à Milan. Pannacotta Fugo est convoqué là par le nouveau "Boss" de Passione, Giorno Giovanna, et y rencontre alors Guido Mista qui l'ordonne d'aller pourchasser et d'éliminer la Sezione Droghe, l'équipe des narcotiques mené par Massimo Volpe, qui est devenu un renégat. Fugo est accompagné de Sheila E, une jeune fille qui fait partie du gang et qui doit l'aider dans sa mission.
Pendant ce temps, l'équipe des narcotiques rencontrent Sale et Mario Zucchero à la Villa San Giovanni. Alors que Zucchero est neutralisé par le mystérieux pouvoir d'Angelica Attanasio, Vittorio Cataldi provoque Sale et le tue avec son Dolly Dagger, qui peut renvoyer 70% des dégâts sur quelqu'un d'autre.
Ⅱ．me voglio fà 'na casa
Fugo et Sheila vont a à rencontre de Cannolo Murolo un autre membre de Passione qui se spécialise dans l'espionnage et doit se racheter car il aurait donné des informations aux renégats. Murolo explique que la Sezione Droghe était la source de la drogue que Passione trafiquait car le Stand de Massimo Volpe, Manic Depression, peut manipuler les produits chimiques et créait de la drogue de qualité qui expirait en quelques jours. Fugo révèle qu'il connait Volpe car ils étaient camarades à l'université, même s'il n'étaient pas proche. Sheila révèle qu'elle a rejoint Passione pour tuer Illuso, l'assassin qui a tué sa soeur, et qu'elle est reconnaissante envers Giorno. Murolo utilise son Stand All Along Watchtower (un jeu de cartes douées de conscience), qui chante et semble présager que les renégats sont à Taormina en Silice. Les héros décide de s'y rendre alors.
Ⅲ．'a vucchella
En Silice, Fugo se demande pourquoi Giorno l'a choisi pour éliminer Volpe. Sheila est isolée quand elle voit Mario Zucchero et le suit. Elle combat Zucchero, mais réalise trop tard que c'est un piège de l'équipe des narcotiques.
Ⅳ．tu ca nun chiagne
Fugo et Murolo retrouve la trace de Sheila au Teatro Greco de Silice et rencontre le chef de la section des narcotiques, Vladimir Kocaqi. Kocaqi est venu retarder les poursuivants. Il utilise son Stand Rainy Day Dream Away, une pluie qui peut bloquer ses opposants dans un certain état d'esprit. Fugo est ainsi bloqué car Kocaqi l'a bloqué en état de déséquilibre. Kocaqi raconte à Sheila son passé tragique, quand des bombardiers ont tué sa soeur et qu'il a éveillé son pouvoir pour lui donner une mort paisible. Fugo parvient à coutourner le pouvoir de Kocaqi en utilisant Purple Haze et se propulse haut dans le ciel, retombant alors sur Kocaqi et lui donnant un coup de poing avec son Stand. Kocaqi est tué par le virus de Purple Haze.
Ⅴ．mi votu e mi rivotu
After learning of Kocaqi's death, the Sezione Droghe decides to go retrieve a Stone Mask in an old Nazi bunker to power Volpe up. Meanwhile, Fugo, Sheila, and Murolo track them up to Ortygia, Syracuse. On the way, their helicopter is attacked by Angelica Attanasio's Nightbird Flying, which incapacitates the pilot, Murolo, Sheila, and Fugo, sending their helicopter into the sea.
Ⅵ．fantasia siciliana
Fugo wakes Sheila up accidentally, who saves them both, leaving Murolo's fate unknown. They decide to steal a car. The local population then controlled by Angelica goes on to attack Fugo and Sheila but they escape with the car. Fugo is then thrown out of the car by Voodoo Child as Sheila wanted the team to split up.
While a weakened Angelica goes to look for Fugo, Sheila finally meets Volpe on the road; she tries to run over him, but Volpe, using his stand Manic Depression to power himself to the human limits, destroys the car instead. Meanwhile, in the Syracuse cathedral, Vittorio retrieves the Stone Mask, but it is stolen by Murolo. Murolo destroys the Mask and reveals the true nature of his All Along the Watchtower, killing Vittorio. Murolo also reveals that destroying the Mask was a secret part of the mission, an agreement between Passione and the Speedwagon Foundation to stop that menace.
Ⅶ．luna nova
Volpe remembers his own past during his fight with Sheila, revealing an apathy for the world around him and that he is, in fact, Tonio Trussardi's brother. Assailed by a mob, Fugo almost succumbs to them when Angelica expires, freeing Fugo again. Sheila, having been defeated, is held hostage at the Temple of Apollo.
Up until now, the storyline is often marked by Fugo's flashbacks, revealing his past. Fugo was an intelligent child who didn't get along with either his wealthy family who pushed him to academic excellence, nor his peers who looked down on him because of his lineage. The only person he loved was his grandmother, but unable to attend to her funeral because of his studies, he bashed a teacher in the head with a dictionary who taunted him about his grandmother and was thrown out of the university for it. Meeting Bruno Bucciarati in prison, they sympathized and Fugo joined Passione. Fugo bonded with his team, especially Narancia whom he introduced to Bucciarati. At the same time Fugo had been carrying out multiple assassinations, missions he kept secret from Bruno, knowing he wouldn't condone such actions. Fugo found himself conflicted between the moral wrongness of his world and his incapacity in changing it. Fugo then reminisces his time during his mission with Trish Una, during which he noticed Giorno Giovanna's potential. He finally remembers how every member of his team went on to do the right thing, accompanying Bruno in his revolt against Diavolo while he alone remained behind, a decision he didn't understand.
Fugo finally confronts Volpe, and having finally found a common point with Sheila, understands the empathy his old companions felt for each other. His newfound resolution upgrades Purple Haze in time before Volpe can make a fatal blow, Fugo, having kept a virus capsule in his mouth, breaks it and sprays the virus into Volpe's face, who dies horribly. Fugo then breaks another capsule to counter the previous virus and manages to survive. Hospitalized, Fugo nevertheless notices that his Stand isn't the same as before.
Ⅷ．'o surdato 'nnammurato
A week later, Fugo meets Giorno in a restaurant and, after a brief chat, Giorno tells Fugo that he always thought differently from his peers, and this difference unconsciously infuriated Fugo, leading to his short temper and that the assassination's true purpose was to make Fugo overcome his own demons. Given a photo of his old team, Fugo finally swears loyalty to Giorno.
pista di bonus. The Mourning
After the events of Vento Aureo, Trish Una visits the tombstone of Bruno Bucciarati to say a few words to him. Incidentally, Bucciarati's mother also arrives there and asks Trish how Bucciarati died, triggering the memory of the group discovering Bucciarati's corpse in the Colosseum. Giorno then admitted that he knew that Bucciarati was dead all along and that they worked together to topple Diavolo. Angered at the betrayal, Mista almost shot Giorno but Giorno persuaded him to let him live as a member of Team Bucciarati. In the present, Trish and Bucciarati's mother then discuss their respective memories of Bucciarati and his righteousness. The two ultimately weep over Bucciarati's tombstone.
