Bucciarati's team is.. interesting. They are starting to grow on me especially Mista in this part. Fugo with his stand tho!! I liked Purple Smoke! Zipper man aka Sticky fingers is still my fav tho. As is Bucciarati. I like how the story moves slowly explaining everything because usually I get lost when the explanation isn't done right. The missions are getting better and better.. the Turtle stand.. that was creative! Can't wait to read more!

Highly readable, but I'm not jelling with any of the characters.

The stands are cool and there are memorable fights. This part is just really not doing it for me though. I don't have strong feelings about any of the characters, and generally dislike the Italian Mafia angle. I don't like the aesthetics of the environments or characters and I mostly find myself greatly missing Diamond is Unbreakable. Golden Wind kinda feels like a chore to me right now while I work towards Stone Ocean. A slow read when I usually devour JoJo volumes. Guess we'll see how it goes, I hear there are some pretty great moments to come yet.

- it's hard to take some of these names seriously. sorbet? gelato?
- the old mirror stand trick, but i like the twist
- the turtle is a creative solution
- the thankful death stand is horrible!

This volume has battles against tiny feet (conclusion), man in the mirror, and beach boy/Grateful Dead (first half).
Jojo is the closest thing to a pure battle manga. If you’re going to be that simple in approach, the battles better be good. Fortunately, Araki is a master.
Each battle raises questions — who and where is the enemy stand user? What is the stand’s ability? How can it be countered? These mysteries are unraveled over the course of the fight. Araki is unusually clever at giving good explanations and coming up with twists.
He gets his characters into seemingly impossible situations but always finds a way out. An ending that might satisfy another mangaka is only the warmup for Araki. His villains are as resourceful and smart as the heroes and come up with their own last second comebacks.
You get a sense of a real battle, of characters taken right to the edge. Typically, it goes like this:
At first, the characters are on the defensive, as the enemy stand user strikes from the shadows and they struggle to figure out what his ability is. Often, things will get worse and worse, with several allies being incapacitated until things look bleak. Halfway through the battle, they figure out how to counter the stand and the tables turn, now the enemy stand user seems to be on the ropes. But he reveals a new aspect to his ability and the advantage swings back to him. From there momentum shifts back and forth repeatedly as the participants use their stands in creative ways.
Araki is careful to include dialogue and thought captions that make the characters’ reasoning and emotions clear throughout. This is important to establish empathy, to put the readers right there with the characters.
There are plenty of variations to keep this formula fresh. In the fight against mirror man, for instance, Araki creates ally conflict between Abacchio and Giorno, when they argue over whether to sacrifice Fugo for the sake of the mission. This argument has been brewing for awhile; Abacchio has been hostile from the get go.
When battling against Fisherman, it is Buccaratti & co. who are hiding while the stand users hunt for them, reversing the normal setup.
Sometimes Araki relies mostly on mystery — where is the enemy stand user and what is his ability? Sometime he uses more suspense — the readers know the answers to those questions (due to the inclusion of villain viewpoint) but the heroes don’t. And we anticipate and worry over their fate.
Often, character backstory will be revealed in a flashback before a key moment.
There are also long term plot lines into which the battles fit. These are very simple, with clear motivation, goal, and conflict — in this case the goal is taking over the mafia in order to stop its evil drug trade. This big goal involves several major steps, with the current subgoal of protecting the boss’ daughter. Below that are smaller mission goals — getting groceries, getting a key and finding an escape vehicle, avoiding detection while traveling etc.
Also, there are long term character plots, such as the way Giorno slowly gains the respect and trust of his teammates.
Between battles there are brief interludes during which the next course of action is determined. These segments usually contain jokes/light moments to change up the pace and build character.

La mia recensione dei primi 5 volumi di Vento Aureo con commento/paragone tra la serie anime e il manga la trovate al seguente link: https://bookmarksarereadersbestfriend...
Nel terzo volume c'è finalmente la parte dedicata a Narancia che è uno dei miei personaggi preferiti. Come dicevo in precedenza forse il design dell'anime è più lineare di quello del manga che rappresenta Narancia a volte come un ragazzino (della sua età) altre in maniera più adulta e figa. Non che sia una critica, è "normale" e succede in molte serie manga e comunque ci sono delle scene davvero spettacolari e la storia davvero è molto appassionate. In questo volume abbiamo ben due flashback, quello di Narancia e di Abbacchio e vediamo appunto la loro storia, come sono diventati dei gangster e come il loro gruppo sia la loro famiglia - ok forse è esagerato dire famiglia, ma la Bucci Gang è molto unita e tutti i suoi membri sono davvero pronti a sacrificare la vita per la salvezza dei loro compagni. Insomma ho molto apprezzato che vediamo la psicologia dei protagonisti che era poco mostrata nei precedenti volumi e questo mi piace molto. Poi davvero la mia memoria fa schifo perché alcune cose non me le ricordo e insomma ho finito l'anime un mese e mezzo fa!! Niente, però ci sono alcune differenze tra manga e anime come è giusto che sia ed è uno di quei casi che non so dire quale dei due sia il migliore. Anzi la visione dell'anime mi migliora l'esperienza di lettura perché ho impresse in testa le voci dei doppiatori che in questa serie sono eccezionali a mio parere e lo dico perché molti li ho presenti in altre opere e quindi qui viene fuori un loro lato inedito, ma comunque molto bello e che ho apprezzato tantissimo. So che sembra da malata mentale ma io leggendo sento il tono e l'intonazione della battuta come era nell'anime e quindi la mia esperienza di lettura è molto più bella ed emozionante.

4.5 raspando. La pelea de Narancia me pareció muy tirada de los pelos, pero la de Man in the mirror me dejó cantando Michael Jackson y cuando hay referencias al pop, siempre hay punto.
Te amo Abbacchio, recién escribiendo esto vi que sos una referencia a Abba y ya me gustabas antes de saberlo, me gustan los personajes que se meten a trabajar en el mundo de la ley y después salen dados vuelta. El sistema de justicia acá en Argentina también es así, una reverenda poronga. Igual medio que no me cierra que te hayas metido a la mafia, pero tenés pelo largo y los hombres con pelo largo me pueden, fue.
Dejando el fangirleo de lado, no me gusta que Giorno se esté desplazando. Desde el tomo anterior que viene perdiendo protagonismo y acá es como que apareció de pedo y no entendí eso de la vacuna, no sé de dónde mierda lo sacó (seguro que es verdad, pero de acá a que me ponga investigar, cero chances). Pero bueno, esto es Jojos, pocas cosas tienen sentido en un manga donde tipos afeminados y musculosos viven para posar y reventarse a palos.
Vengo de ver las temporadas anteriores por Netflix, desconozco si los mangas de las partes anteriores también son así. Animado como que es todo más rápido, hay musiquita y no te das cuenta.
Esto medio que recién comienza, así que espero que más adelante haya alguna mención de Dio de parte de Giorno y no estiren la misión de proteger a la hija del jefe por 3 tomos más.

Creo que esta es la peor saga de Jojo's, peor incluso que "Diamond is Unbreakable". DIU era un sinsentido continuo, pero mínimo era divertido, tenía frescura. Aquí hay una solemnidad horrible, los personajes no están ni desarrollados y el objetivo que siguen es una mamada: convertirse en mafiosos que no vendan drogas. Me imagino que la extorsión, el pago de derecho de piso, el alcohol de contrabando, las apuestas clandestinas, las vendettas y asesinatos continuarán... Pero fuchi con las drogas.
Lo único rescatable es el diseño de personajes y sus stands. Solo por eso, tal vez me gustaría no perderle la pista, pero la verdad, son solo madrazos sin historia, no me provoca la mínima empatía ni el protagonista ni su grupo de amigos.
Araki suele disimular su falta de argumento con situaciones absurdas que terminan impactando al lector, pero aquí el truco ya está muy desgastado. No impacta, no dices wtf, es nomás eso: madrazos sin historia o argumento.
No sé si continuaré leyendo este manga. Tal vez lo haga por puro TOC y cariño a la serie, pero definitivamente, este el peor arco de Jojo's que he leído.

I'm still not really feeling this Part of the Saga. The characters have potential but we don't seem to be getting any kind of growth. We've had a few little flashbacks and hints of one or two of their youths but not much more. The Stands are rather strange and just seem to be there to solve the issues in the book whether it makes sense for the Stand to be able to do what they need it to or not. It's not quite a s bad as in the last Part where Stands kept evolving every other volume but still it's not great.
This volume sees the guys continue to try and protect the boss's daughter and get her safely up north. We get to visit Pompeii which was nice but I would have liked the story to have more to do with the location rather than them just collecting a key.
It's funny to think back to Part 1 and see how the story has changed. An immortal vampire in Victorian England doesn't seem that bizarre in comparison. The story was so much clearer.

outside of the fight with mirror man, fugo’s stand has gotta be top 3 most useless stand of all time, but somehow also the coolest and has the most potential. another “of all time” thing is gelato and sorbet’s deaths: quite possibly the most tragic and harrowing deaths of all time, and they’re just background characters.
the battle with tiny feet went on for way too long, mirror man is soo similar to hanged man and heart father, fisher man and that turtle have got the best stands, on a purely creative level, don’t care for abacchio, giorno is calm cool and collected as always.
rating it a 4 because the arcs here are genuinely well played out, but it’s still missing some heart idk
chapters:
narancia’s li’l bomber, pt 4-8
the second mission from the boss
mirror man and purple smoke, pt 1-7
il treno espresso per firenze, pt 1-2
thankful death pt 1-3

Combinan bien Narancia y el naranja.
Voy a tener que escribir reseñas provisorias para un montón de tomos de Jojo's porque sigue habiendo iditoas que combinan la edición tankoubon con la bunko y hacen desastres con las series y reviews de cada tomo.
No recuerdo el por qué específico del punteaje a este tomo pero aguante Vento Aureo y toda la manga de asesinos y dementes que pululan por sus páginas.
Igual ojalá empiece a salir más rápido así tenemos Stone Ocean cuanto antes y Steel Ball Run a continuación.

Las dos batallas de este tomo son de infarto. Cada vez más Araki hace más batallas sesudas. Es decir, en vale que es importante tener un stand poderoso, pero no sirve de nada si no se usa la inteligencia y en esta saga eso es lo que más se explota.

Another out-‘stand’ing volume, haha. The stands in this volume were pretty cool - Mirror Man kinda felt like a reworked version of The Hanged Man stand from Part 3. Finally got to see Fugo’s stand, too. Excited for more.

the cover of this gives me life :)) narancia against formaggio is boring as hell but fugo (and abbacchio) against illuso is one of my faves <33

Things start getting more difficult for Bucciarati and his crew as stand users come to take Trish away. Their lives are on the line while they try to protect her from Passione's Assassin Team.

End of Narancia’s fight, appearance of Fugo’s stand, and the beginning of a new fight was a really good way to end the “uncovering what everyone’s stands do”. Very fun read. Interesting volume.

I have to admit that the turtle thing was kind of cool.
