In 2001: 2 years after the death of Yoshikage Kira, Koichi Hirose travels to Italy by Jotaro's favor. He departs Naples Airport to find a boy by the name of Haruno Shiobana. Koichi comes across a peculiar young man who tricks him and drives off with his luggage. Koichi overhears two airport security guards reveal the young man's name as Giorno Giovanna, and infers that Giorno might be Haruno Shiobana. Meanwhile, Giorno meets with the gangster Leaky-Eye Luca, who attacks Giorno and is put into a coma after his attack is reflected back. Giorno reveals his Stand, Gold Experience, and creates a tree to escape from Koichi who caught up to him. Koichi calls Jotaro by telephone, revealing Giorno is the son of DIO. Escaping by train, Giorno encounters Bruno Bucciarati who questions him about Luca's death. Giorno lies to him and Bucciarati goes away. After, Giorno opens his hand only to find an eye enclosed, and Bucciarati reappears behind him and confirms he's lying by licking his face. |

Bucciarati brings out his own Stand, Sticky Fingers, allowing him to create a dimension distorting zipper to try and escape inside another person, but Giorno tracks him down by turning one of Bucciarati's teeth into a fly. Despite beating Bucciarati in a duel, Giorno decides against finishing him off, instead asking to join his organization so he can take down his boss and take over the city. |

Giorno accepts and leaves the prison, and after a series of close calls, manages to get into his dorm, only for Koichi to intrude in order to find his stolen passport. Giorno again narrowly escapes with the lighter however the lighter is extinguished accidentally by a janitor cleaning the area. Distraught, Giorno believes he has blown his chance, and is surprised when the janitor reignites the lighter. However, Black Sabbath appears and it impales the janitor's soul with an Arrow, killing him. Realizing that he has activated Polpo's Stand, Giorno braces himself as Black Sabbath lunges at him. |

When Koichi comes, the two teens ally to lure Black Sabbath into the light and annihilate it. Afterward, Giorno convinces Koichi of his rightenousness and also makes him keep his secret goal. Koichi thus reassures Jotaro about Giorno and departs from the latter's life. The next day, Giorno is welcomed by Polpo into the gang and officially assigned to Bruno. But as revenge for the janitor, he secretly turns one of the lieutnant's guns into a banana. Long after Giorno steps out of prison, Polpo finally eats the banana and kills himself with a shot to the head. Meanwhile, Giorno is on his way to meet Bucciarati's Gang. |

While Bruno explains how Passione functions as a gang, the news of Polpo's death spreads throughout the mob. Two gangsters, Sale and Mario Zucchero, take an interest in Polpo's hidden treasure that Bruno supposedly knows of. Giorno formally meets his new teammates, and manages to make a good impression despite them antagonizing Giorno. Learning about Polpo's death, Bruno immediately tells the gang to set sails. On their way to Capri in order to retrieve the treasure, an unseen enemy Stand ambushes them, making Narancia, Mista and Fugo disappear without trace. As Abbacchio is reluctant to show his Stand to the newbie, Giorno makes the gamble that their opponent's way of attacking isn't fatal, and purposefully exposes himself. He is stabbed by the Stand and disappears. Thus Abbachio is free to summon his Moody Blues. |

Leone Abbacchio's past is revealed.

Dishonored, Abbacchio became desperate until he met Bruno. In the present, Bruno and Abbacchio begin to investigate the enemy's power, using Moody Blues' power to reenact any event from the past to discover how the enemy works. Although they discover that the enemy can deflate people and is probably hiding in the pipes, they cannot find him. However, Abbacchio sacrifices himself and uses blood to make Bruno understand that there is a second deflated boat covering the first one. Bruno thus sinks his yacht on purpose, forcing Zucchero to reveal himself and easily defeats him. |

As Bruno took a long curve to avoid being seen directly heading toward Capri, the group expects to fight another enemy on the island, but Giorno proposes to head there first and seek out their foe. Near the marina, Giorno calls for the enemy through a civilian while Mista lies in wait, ready to fight. The enemy Sale falls for the bait, and despite some mishaps, Mista manages to shoot Sale in the leg thanks to his Sex Pistols's power to redirect bullets.

Thus Mista is at a tremendous disadvantage as bullets cannot penetrate Sale's skin while he can even fire the bullets back at Mista. After a back and forth, Mista is left with one bullet, and wastes it. However, he only tricked Sale into dropping his guard, and has Sex Pistols hijack Sale's own bullet, which hits Sale right in the first bullet still locked inside Sale's skull.

Born from a long past tryst, Trish is now the target of a rogue team of Stand User assassins who hope to get their hands on her to get to the Boss, and Bruno's team must now bodyguard her. Later, Narancia is sent out of the hideout to buy groceries but is easily found by Formaggio, one of said assassins.

The boy realizes that Formaggio is nearby and uses an unknown ability to track Formaggio. Running away, Formaggio is relentlessly tracked into a drain. A flashback then explains how the Hitman Team, dissatisfied with their pay, had two of their members gruesomely executed for daring to pry into The Boss' past. In the present, Formaggio now understands that Aerosmith is tracking him because of the CO2 he releases. Using a swarm of rats, Formaggio tries to hide but Narancia manages to identify him and shoot.

Ill and alone, Narancia escaped his squalor thanks to Fugo and Bucciarati, to whom he is now loyal to. In the now, an exasperated Formaggio throws Narancia inside a bottle with a spider in it and manages to learn where Trish is kept. However, Narancia reverses the situation by making his own car explode thanks to Aerosmith's tracer bullets, grows back to normal size, and then devastates the entire street to prevent the assassin from fleeing. Finishing Formaggio off, Narancia returns to the hideout where Bruno receives The Boss's second orders. He then sends Fugo, Abbacchio and Giorno to Pompeii to retrieve a key. |

Giorno, Fugo and Abbacchio arrive to the famous ruins of Pompeii. As the trio is walking toward the dog mosaic, Fugo sees a mirror and a new enemy in the reflection. It is Illuso, one of the assassins from La Squadra Esecusioni. As Illuso approaches, Fugo warns his teammates who cannot see the enemy and Fugo is suddenly snatched into the mirror world, confronting Illuso and his Stand, Man in the Mirror. Fugo then tries to summon his Stand Purple Haze but the Stand is kept out of the mirror, interrupting Giorno and Abbacchio's search for Fugo. A flashback exposes Fugo's past. As a well-born child with high intellect, Fugo was so pressured into academic excellence that it took a toll on his sanity. Entering a university at age 13, he finally snapped and beat up a professor to defend himself but was expelled then disowned, eventually meeting Bruno and being swayed to his side. Fugo tries his best to fight Man in the Mirror indirectly but Illuso easily bests him while Purple Haze's actions cause one of the capsules on his fist to crack, revealing its ability to release a deadly flesh-eating virus.

Abbacchio sees Illuso inside of a mirror as well and understands the situation. Tricking Illuso into forcing a disguised Moody Blues to enter the mirror world and gaining the upper hand, Illuso nonetheless uses a piece of glass to trap both Stand and User half inside of the mirror, disabling both. Desperate, Abbacchio cuts off his hand to permit Moody Blues on the other side to bring back the key to Giorno's position and Illuso attacks Giorno. However, Giorno has infected himself with Purple Haze's virus, exposing Illuso who must flee to the real world. Nonetheless, Giorno has also turned a brick into a snake, allowing Fugo to guess Illuso's position thanks to the snake's heat sense. Purple Haze then dissolves Illuso. For his part, Giorno manages to save himself by using the snake's blood as an antivenom, greatly impressing his teammates. The team has acquired the key. |

Perplexed by Bruno's sudden disappearance, the pair decides to stay on the train. Unbeknownst to the assassins, the small turtle acts as a stealthy shelter for Team Bucciarati thanks to its Stand ability and hides in a corner of the driver's cabin.

Affected by the aging, the group discovers that ice can slow it down then sends out the relatively unaffected Mista out to fight the enemy.
