Synopsis

Meet Giorno Giovanna, a 15-year-old pickpocket living in Naples with a dream that sounds completely unhinged: he wants to join the Italian mafia and take it over from the inside. His reason? The local crime syndicate, Passione, has flooded the streets with drugs targeting kids, and Giorno figures the only way to fix a broken system is to climb to the top of it. He's also got a Stand called Gold Experience that can breathe life into anything he touches, which makes for some genuinely creative fights. After a tense encounter with Bruno Bucciarati, a gangster with his own sense of justice, Giorno starts working his way into Passione's ranks alongside a crew of misfits, each with their own bizarre abilities. This is JoJo Part 5, so expect 39 episodes of increasingly wild Stand battles where the real weapon is thinking three steps ahead of your opponent. David Production went hard on the animation here, the colors pop, the poses are iconic, and the soundtrack shifts between Italian opera vibes and straight-up bangers. If you liked the strategic combat in Hunter x Hunter or the stylish criminal underworld energy of Baccano! and Black Lagoon, this lands in that same space. The tone is action-packed but surprisingly tactical, and the group dynamic gives it a heist-crew feel that sets it apart from other JoJo parts.

The stand of this episode really matches with the episode's title. The impact of this episode was kinda weak considering it's after the Diavolo and Giorno fight. I would even call it a bizzare move to even put this in the last episode, it is an excessive way to prove a point. Anyways, it's nice to see a change in Trish's attitude it looks like a big weight has been lifted off her. This has been a golden experience watching this part, the suspense, drama and action are top notch. Even the soundtrack and animation style are golden 😎

At first I thought that I had the wrong episode since I see the usual Team Buciaratti in their usual spot in Libeccio and upon double checking I really had the right episode it's just that the episode had a bizzare start. Anyways after the OP, Diavolos real fate has been shown and oh boy it was really brutal, I believe his fate was even worse than Kars. I guess he won't be having great days anymore even after he breaks down 😎. The second part of the episode continues from the bizzare opening of the episode and considering that Giorno isn't with them, it's one of those usual requests that Buciaratti takes before he met Giorno.

This is the first part of the battle against Cioccolata and Secco. The stairs scene at the start reminded me of a certain french guy who keeps on failing to climb a stair 😆. The episode has been shifting the mood from suspenseful to a foreboding mood then back to suspenseful again. There's a creative way to use the color palette change to censor something while also conveying the sudden change of mood. It's gonna be an exciting battle next episode and I can't wait to see the beat down that Cioccolata will receive 😤

⚠️ This episode contains a jumpscare, people with a weak heart should watch it with caution. I recommend asking a friend to watch it first then tell you where it happens. ⚠️ Anyways back to the review, This was a suspenseful episode with a dash of horror. Everything was perfectly executed, from the soundtrack, change of mood and the build up of tension. It even ends in a cliff hanger to heighten the anticipation. I think Araki has a knack for also making a horror story since he got the suspense part mastered 🤔
