Too many good things happening in this volume. Definitely worth reading (and watching! The anime is great.).

Every volume gets better because the stakes keep raising and the crew grows on me the more I see them interact. Araki perfectly walks the line with the Bucciarati team, making them patently Jojo goofy, but maintaining the edge of hardened criminals. The Stardust Crusader’s still have a clutch on my heart, but I could see the Golden Wind team competing for best Jojo crew.
As far as the plot progresses, not a ton really happens here. The arcs are about 50% than prior Jojo parts, which slows the larger narrative down but works for character development. This volume only covered the conclusion of Narancia’s Aerosmith, and then Man in The Mirror and Purple Haze (SO sick) and a chapter intro of Express to Florence / The Grateful Dead.
The fights are all cool, Jojo fights and especially Jojo Stands don’t miss. Purple Haze is a *peak* character design. We’ve seen like 10 Man in the Mirror Stands already, but that’s okay, because it’s awesome every time. Araki gets away with beating a dead horse, because he does it the best.
The slow overall plot makes it feel much tighter, which oddly works and sets a good pace. Maybe I’m just a Jojo glazer now forgiving valid issues? Anyways, the extended battles are works in character development - it shows how these guys operate, the chemistry and trust they have with each other, and paves the way for them to strengthen their bonds and maybe, maybe, begin to trust Giorno more.
So far, Golden Wind is all killer and no filler. Can’t wait to see what’s next.🐞

My iPad’s been dead for like a month, but we are soo back. This is by no means my favorite part, but I’m having fun. I gave it four stars initially, but on further review, it was merely fine. The continuation of the Narancia and tiny feet battle got boring, the mirror battle was decent, and the train battle is also obviously a hit, but not as action packed as I remembered! It is kind of sad that Fugo basically had his first and last major stand battle. Still don’t totally understand what Moody Jazz does. Bye!

3 estrellas.
Se continua la historia de Giorno en cumplir su sueño, en esta ocasión uniéndose a un pequeño grupo, ya no trabajando completamente sólo.
Al igual que con otros Jojos, me gusta ver como empieza la dinámica que tendrá con sus compañeros, todavía no tengo algún favorito, pero siento que con el tiempo me iré encariñando, poco a poco veo el progreso de Giorno, todavía no tiene una evolución evidente pero puede verse el progreso.

Me gusta mucho el equipo de Bucellati, tienen una caracterización increíble, como también es muy atractivo toda esta onda mafiosa de malas calles por Napoles. Realmente se siente algo diferente, y Giogio hace sentir la diferencia, en cierto modo se parece a Jonathan Joestar, dado el honor de cumplir su cometido, pero con la picardía de Dio. Realmente muy entretenido.

The first one of the gang we got to know is Bucciarati many chapters ago. Now we get introduced to Abbachio and Mista along with their stand ability. The volume was good and the upcoming chapters seem even more interesting

El retomar Jojo’s después de tanto tiempo me hace dar cuenta que mi problema con Giorgio no es ni su diseño, personalidad o el entorno de su historia. Es el parecido con Dio y el cómo estaba empalagada de este antagonista porque aparecía hasta en la sopa.

Polpo has a hidden Treasure somewhere.
and
Only Buccellatti knows where its hidden
This is the volume where Giorno(GioGio/Jojo) meets the crew and begins his mobster life.

Fun to see the torture dance, plus meeting Mista's stand is cool too.

you need to read all of the other parts though,
so it's a lot.

name gangsters with better dance moves than this crew...

Introduction to the boys for this part of the Bizarre Adventure, using a jellyfish tooth to drink urine... bizarreness confirmed.

第5部の主要メンバーが一堂に会したようだけど、まだ馴染みがないので(前脱出ゲームでそれぞれのスタンド知ったはずだけど全く覚えてない)、平均の⭐︎3つ。
ミスタの「セックス・ピストルズ」が、それぞれキャラがあると知れたのは面白い。(脱出ゲームではこのキャラ演じた記憶が)
だが、ジョルノとの初対面シーンで、アバッキオがジョルノに自分の尿飲ませてるのがマジで無理。

Seeing the other characters in the Part 5 anime style is still disturbing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC9R7...
Epstein Polpo didn't kill himself
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4mLU... this whole scene is just brilliant. Narancia being a dumbass. Fugo being himself. Abbacchio and Mista not caring because apparently this has happened before. And Mama Bruno stepping in. It's all amazing.

A truly legendary moment
Baby boi just jamming out and Mista had to ruin it :(

With the aid of Koichi, Giovanna has proven himself and become a member of Bucciarati's group, whose knowledge of Polpo's hidden treasure draws his gang onto the open waters - leaving them open to a surprise attack from another Passione who will kill for the treasure's location! Araki brings fans a steadily suspenseful entry with plenty of personality.

I'm genuinely impressed by how quickly part 5 has grown on me.
Giorno is a big part of that. Hearing him go on these self-aggrandizing little monologues the same way Dio does, but with the twist that he's actually trying to do good, is a treat. He's cold, smug, and standoffish, but it's for the sake of protecting kids from drug dealers.
Similarly, I've quickly come to like much of the squad. Naranica being the baby; Fugo being very hot or cold when it comes to caring for Narancia; Mista participating as part of the joke trio, but knowing how to get serious; Abbacchio being guarded, but reliable. I've quickly come to like each of them, which I was not expecting. And I've warmed up toward the over the top costume designs.
Abbacchio gets a lot of play this volume, and I've become a fan. He's very defensive around Giorno, but its because he cares about the group and doesn't want to risk their safety. He's not just a contrarian asshole; he sees himself as a responsible guardian- the last line of defense if Giorno really is a traitor.
This volume has some iconic moments as well. Giorno winning over the gang, the horror-esque mystery on the ship, the end of Polpo's story, and the torture scene are all highlights. I think the part where Abbacchio and Bruno investigate the ship ran too long and started to get dull and the revelation at the end made no sense to me. But it's not a big deal.
The overall objective of gaining renown in the gang in order to take out its leader has, so far, played out more reliably than any other central story in Jojo. One of my biggest complaints with the series is the lack of continuity between encounters. It's all too easy to divide up the series into chunks based on which baddie of the week we're dealing with. Those chunks could then be shuffled around without things feeling confusing and out of order aside from a few details. So far, at least, Golden Wind has not been the same way. Sure, you could still divide it based on the enemy stand user, but those enemies have been woven into the story in a way the other parts have failed to do. Giorno's introduced by fighting Koichi. Bruno is introduced similarly, but acts as an intro into the gang. Polpo is a more unique challenge wherein the enemy himself doesn't feel like the centerpiece. And now we have an enemy trying to stop the gang from getting Polpo's treasure. The characters have stuff going on outside of "stop a series of bad guys and after an arbitrary number of fights we'll get to Dio/Kira". So far, they have had a series of short term goals that actively move them closer to the ultimate goal of stopping the gang's boss. It's such a nice change.
Lastly, I want to give a shoutout to the art. The continuity of motion between panels is a far cry away from the start of the series. Additionally, the linework has steadily improved. The work of the coloring team is a particular highlight. I can't imagine how they pulled off such a colossal feat, but the results are so impressive. The water in particular was downright gorgeous. I could not imagine reading Jojo any other way.

Este tomo arranca con mucha tensión y un juego de trampas que termina con una muerte inesperada, completamente shockeante y que patea el tablero para el resto de la saga (supongo). Y después... bueno... ¡Después se pasan todo el resto del bendito tomo en un barquito que se chupa a la gente!
Ay, es un plato este Araki.

In this volume, we meet the protagonists of this generation, the interesting Stand of one of them and a really inventive enemy in an epic ship episode. Thrilling !

Part 5 is the best part of JJBA and Giorno is the second best Jojo.
