Okay, Part 5 is already growing on me. Especially Giorno. He reminds me of Rohan, in that he's a smug prick, but his heart's in the right place. He has the brash confidence, dangerous cunning, and self righteous ego of Dio. But he's also actually righteous like Jonathan. I really got a kick out of hearing him monologue like Dio does, but coming from a good place.

Seeing Giorno use his unzipped arm for that extendo-punch move reminded me of that weird move Jonathan used to do where he would dislocate his elbow for a longer punch. I don't know if it was intentional, but either way it ended up being a nice throwback.

The sequence where he went to meet the mob boss and tried to complete the entry challenge was great. Having to keep a lighter lit is such an interesting challenge. And Giorno's character lends himself well to the sort of mindgames and thrilling moments I enjoy, such as when he had to sneak the lighter out of the prison.

It's pretty wild how such an early enemy casually just has a stand arrow. Finding one of those was such a big deal back in part 4, but now one has just popped up.

I've already lost count of how many times Giorno has said "I, Giorno Giovanna, have a dream".

(I love him)

They have really cool stand powers in this arc

Memes in this volume:










I'M GOING TO BECOME A GANGSTAR




The bread of God is bread


Giorno says "I, Giorno Giovanna, have a dream" a few times in this one but I can only find a gif of the one on the boat so here's a variant of that meme

Best arc ever, best stand powers and aesthetic at 100. For many it's considered the successor of Stardust Crusaders, due to similarities on the argumental plot. I kinda consider it also, but it has its own unique touch, and a better and way complicated developmental and strategical narrative. At times is kinda of repetitive , and you can find some holes in the coherency, but it recovers quiclkly as the story progresses.

Dio's son is really beautiful. Gold Experience is amazing and its design is perfect. I fell in love with these two.

i'm literaly in the show

[Peachy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Buccellati's Coming part 4 (ch 446) was very cool because of how it further explored Gold Experience's and Sticky Fingers's respective abilities, limits, and the creative ways in which they can be used. I initially thought that a zipper stand would be lame, but I love how it's so versatile with Bucciarati; using it for his intimidation tactics and movement. I like the conditions with which Gold Experience can be used too particularly how it reflects attacks back on the attacker. Although, I gotta admit that I forgot that was a thing halfway through Vento Aureo anime because apparently so did Araki.

Buccellati's Coming part 5 (ch 447) is so funny to me because of the speed at which things escalated. Giorno was just trying to get away from Luca, who he did not even intend to kill, then suddenly he decides that he will infiltrate and take over the mafia. At least, there was the chapter (ch 444) that showed the respect and admiration he felt for gangsters. Once again, Giorno gauges other people's characters based on their compassion, which also showed that Bucciarati was not going to be a villain after all. One thing I find interesting here is that they both detach their arms strategically. The tracking thing Giorno did with Gold Experience is similar to what Josuke does with Crazy Diamond. I really liked this chapter despite how awkward it felt mostly because I feel like it's the beginning of the recurring theme of Giorno and Bruno chucking their arms off.

Meet the Gangster behind the Wall part 1 (ch 448) felt so awkward to me too. How could either Bucciarati or Giorno be so nonchalant about the latter joining the gang only to betray them. Was Bucciarati reacting to that arm he stole from the kid really enough for Giorno to decide that they have the same goal and that he would not turn him in and even become his ally. It's so weird. Good thing I'm a sucker for tropes such as "to beat them, one must become them" and "joining a corrupt system and playing by its rules to get to the top to reform it" (Roy Mustang wanting to become fuhrer and Kenzo Tenma having to become a worse monster than Johan Liebert come to mind).

Meet the Gangster behind the Wall part 2 (ch 449) was so cute. Giorno seemed so sweet showing his weird talent to Polpo and hiding the lighter in a flower. There was a feel of innocence throughout this chapter that was at odds with the fact that Giorno was in prison trying to enter the mafia. I feel like this highlights the whole supposed deal with him as a Joestar AND son of Dio Brando.

Entering the Gang part 1 (ch 450) was suspenseful and funny in a cartoonish way. I really enjoyed seeing Giorno tuning out the rest of the world so that he could focus on keeping the lighter lit. The lighter in the bread looked like the world's saddest birthday cake.

I liked Entering the Gang part 2 (ch 451) for its further characterization of Giorno as quite clever and quick to catch on what was going on. I personally thought the thing with the lighter really was a test in itself, not that it was meant to be failed? I liked Black Sabbath's design and his ability to materialize shadow and how this was related to souls and one's willpower in the form of stands. RIP to that old man. He was just an innocent and well-meaning bystander.

Entering the Gang part 3 (ch 452) was quite difficult for me to read because of the timing of the panels. Most probably just a me problem though.

I personally think that Entering the Gang part 4 (ch 453) would've been cooler had it been Josuke that Giorno was with rather than Koichi.

I enjoyed Entering the Gang part 5 (ch 454) because of Giorno's improvising (ish?) and his little quips ("enjoy sunbathing!"). Also wondering if the "that's the singular path you can follow" is foreshadowing ??

Siento que una de las mejores cosas que tiene el universo de Jojos es sentir que cada historia es única, y la historia de Giogio se siente así. De alguna u otra forma sientes que es un personaje único, con sus características únicas, y siendo que es hijo de Dio. Todo el discurso que da sobre cómo él le gustaría Napoles es muy bueno, porque te hace sentir que estás ahí mismo, en la ciudad con él, empatizando por sus acciones y darse cuenta si bien tendrá quizá cosas de su padre, es sólo el "Hijo de ladrón". Lo ingenioso que son los poderes del stand, es buenísimo, como deben cranearse y no sólo terminar siendo un combate a pegarse combos y listo. Definitivamente, eso es lo que más he disfrutado de este comienzo. Pero, por alguna razón u otra, todavía no me siento tan traído como las demás partes, probablemente haya que darle un poco de tiempo y entender más todo el contexto.

3 estrellas.

Iniciando todavía la historia de Giorno.

Como siempre las ilustraciones de Araki para mi pueden ya llegar a ser consideradas arte, para mi son una enorme inspiración en mi trabajo de artista amateur.

La historia de Giorno va en su inicio para mi, conociendo ya la mitología de todo lo que conlleva la saga de Jojos, es un escalón nuevo, un nuevo nivel, un progreso, es impresionante ver como es que las cosas se desarrollan, parece que esta iniciando algo desde cero, pero al igual que las sagas pasadas, hay un trasfondo importante detrás.

this book was very enjoyable because of the story about this person named Giorno trying to take down a gang and turn it into kind of a nonprofit organization by driving out other gangs for safety of kids.

無生物を生物に変えたあと、元に戻るんだろうか...
寮の部屋のランプコードをヘビに変えちゃったけど、困らない？そして、そのヘビも、尻尾が他のコードに繋がってるけど、生きていけるの？？？？
...あ、いや、火に当たって元に戻ってる...

....という感じで、まだまだ主役ジョルノの能力の使い方がイマイチわからんけど、興味津々ではある。
それにしても、康一が第5部でもいい活躍の仕方してて、面白い。

Finalmente sé cuál es el sabor de un mentiroso... Aunque ahora que lo pienso bien, no sé si no me había enterado ya en el tomo anterior... ~_~
"Esto promete." dije al finalizar el tomo anterior. Y si bien este me resultó un poco lento, ese inesperado final con el tipo que se suicida con una banana no me lo veía venir ni loco, así que sigue prometiendo. También dije "A ver si esta vez cuelgo menos que con otras partes."... y cinco meses después retomo la lectura.
Y bueh... Espero llegar a Stone Ocean antes de los 30... u_u

Kudos to the author for inventing really original Stands in this generation. In this volume, we have a Venitian Stand, a Silence of the Lambs reference and a suicide-by-banana. Epic !
