Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind, Vento Aureo, Golden Legacy Vol 3 Review:

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Volume 49

*WARNING WARNING READER’S DISCRETION IS ADVISED, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*

First off, this is definitely the turning point of the series, when the gears start to shift, all right guys, this is what you probably been waiting for, even though the first two volumes were really slow, now the time for coolness to shine, and it does.

Second of all, remember when I said Giorno would never abide to senseless evil? Well, we know now that he is a master at the Tranquil Fury, he never forgives cruelty no matter monstrous or indifferent, the moment you think he's staring at you, he is really plotting your demise in a sneaky and sometimes horrific way.

The first chapter is already awesome simply due to this page.

if you actually read the first two volumes, then you probably know why he's saying this. If not, we'll recap, ok, last volume, a janitor accidentally spilled some water on Giorno's lighter, he realized that the lighter could be relit but Black Sabbath came out and pierced the janitor, who relit it, with the arrow, the janitor, having no fighting spirit to obtain a stand, died soulless. Giorno, unforgiving at the fact that the innocent janitor died, after 24 hours, he meets up with Polpo and... he doesn't know, doesn't care. Polpo is pretty coldhearted and unfeeling, the fact that maybe because he had an automatic stand was probably a factor why he doesn't know but really, he probably knew that an innocent causality would happen and he simply didn't care. Anyway, he goes sprouting about how if a man insults an another man, you lead him down a path he can no longer return and so whatever actions they do, even God will forgive. To be fair, he did say from the beginning that what he was about to say would contradict some of God's rules. Giorno decides to take matters into his own hands. After 5 seconds, he leaves and Polpo grabs a banana, hearing a sound and only after he puts it in his mouth... does he realize Giorno turned one of his guns into a banana and he just cancelled his ability converting it to the gun. This follows,

"You say one can kill if he is humilated? You're right, it's very important indeed, you're insulted the life of the old man who had nothing to do with you at all!"

And the finishing touch,

"I turned your gun into a banana, treat it as your last meal!"

No matter what, Giorno will never forgive evil, indeed he has inherited the spirit of the Joestar bloodline.

Anyway, we meet Bucellati's gang, composing of Guido Mista, Leone Abbacchio, Narancia Ghirga and Pannacotta Fugo. Guido's rant on the number 4 was pretty funny and the math problem scene was too much... What's 16 times 55? As long as you answer above 500, you're fine. Narancia on the other hand...

REMEMBER, stay in school and don't end up like that!

Anyway, the gang members decide to play a little prank on the new member by pouring a cup of dirty liquid and giving it to Giorno which I'm not supposed to say out loud. How does Giorno get out of it? He drinks it... after he turns his teeth into water molecules thus absorbing all the dirty liquid before getting it in his mouth.

The next arc is basically getting Polpo's hidden treasure worth 6 billion dollars, unfortunately two stand users want it, one of them, Mario Zucchero wants to go on vacation and the other, Sale, wants to use the 6 billion to gain a reputation and replace Polpo as an operative. There is something they share. They both want the six billion and going through underhanded means isn't above them.

The gang ends up trying to find Polpo's hidden treasure, good news is Blono is the only person Polpo ever entrusted any information including the six billion, bad news? That makes it really easy for enemies to figure out who to target. So begins a battle at sea that gives us one of the most unbelievable fake-outs yet. Making it to the island, hoping to lure Mario's partner with a broadcast message and figuring out that he used a back-door to get into the broadcasting room.

I can no longer spoil solutions for you. Sorry, try reading the volume.

So far, we know three new stands, Moody Blues, Soft Machine and Sex Pistols.

Giorno Giovana: Gold Experience: We see that it can also transport people by turning a lifebuoy into a fish and getting on it.

Blono Bucellati: Sticky Fingers: We see it can hit its own arm to partially unzip that to make for extended hitting range.

Leone Abbachio: Moody Blues: It can rewind memories like a tape recorder and take the appearance of people when it’s rewinding, it cannot defend itself while broadcasting. This is a good stand if you want to know the ability or mystery of a stand due to the fact that actions done to an individual that Moody Blues was rewinding will also have the same effect. For example, if you were cut at a certain spot five minutes ago, Moody Blues would rewind five minutes in time and would take your appearance and get cut the exact thing way.

Guido Mista: Sex Pistols: We actually don’t know much about them right now, at least you don’t, we know that they appear as six pistol beings starting from 1-7, ignoring the 4, apparently, they are living creatures and must be fed before job or will whine or complain.

Mario Zucchero: Soft Machine: It can use a short sword to deflate people and objects like tires running out of air. those deflated pieces can also be pull inside small surfaces such as pipes, despite at what it looks like, piercing doesn't do much damage but, cutting does wonderfully.
