JoJo's part 5 has concluded. We have mulled over and thought about the ending of this great anime for a few days now. The fans have a lot left to think about. A large focal point in this particular part is fate; fate is something that has a grasp on everyone and it shapes all lives. Diavolo believed in this wholeheartedly and even up until the end believed that he was the one that was destined to wield the powerful stand arrow and unlock the true power of King Crimson. However this was not the case and fate was actually smiling upon the main protagonist: Giorno. Giorno was the one that was able to unlock Gold Experience Requiem and was able to defeat Diavolo by sending him into a never-ending loop of almost dying but then being thrown into a completely different scenario and almost dying again and so on and so forth. Giorno was also rightfully placed and the boss of Passione, successfully completing the dream he and Buccellati shared: to wipe drugs out from the streets of Italy....

No one is safe in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Abbacchio was killed by the boss of Passione. We knew from the boss's previous statements that Abbacchio was one of his main targets due to the fact that once Abbacchio uses Moody Blues's replay ability where the boss took a photo, they could discover his real face. The audience knew that he was a target and yet it was still a surprise to everyone who witnessed this moment for the first time. We haven't had a main character die in Golden Wind and the closest thing we had to a main character dying in Diamond is Unbreakable was when Yoshikage Kira blew up Shigechi. Before that we had the deaths of Kakyoin, Iggy and Avdol in Stardust Crusaders, which was a heavy blow to everyone watching JoJo's at the time. So the JoJo fan base has been blessed with no major character deaths for all of part 4 and a majority of part 5. Abbacchio was a character who was hard to hate in my opinion. Sure, he didn't like the main charact...

Trish understands that if she moves towards Giorno's brooch on the ground, Notorious B.I.G will attack her. She contemplates running to the closet and hiding, but Trish notices the fact that the chairs on the plane all have a button to automatically recline them. She click it and Notorious B.I.G attacks the chair. Trish realizes that she must move slower than the speed at which the reclining chair is moving, else the enemy stand will strike. She slowly makes her way towards the brooch while reclining more chairs along the way. Suddenly, Notorious B.I.G attacks her boot. There is dripping liquid falling from her boot from a broken bottle, which is what attracted Notorious B.I.G's attention. Trish's boot slips right off of her foot, almost like her boot split in two to allow her foot out. Trish hears a voice, which turns out to be her new stand Spice Girl (subbed to Spicy Lady). Spice Girl tells Trish that she was the one that slipped her boot off; she also instructs Trish to...

The team leave Venice via a boat and head to an airport, where they believe they will be safer in the air. They will take an airplane to Sardinia, where they can find more info on the backstory of the mysterious boss of Passione. Moody Blues is used to start the plane and eventually fly it as well. Narancia notices someone coming to the plane they are boarding due to his Aerosmith's detection. Mista warns him to step back, but he keeps moving forward and reveals his stand, so Mista shoots him dead. Giorno checks to be sure that he is truly dead, which he is, and wonders why that fight was so easy. They get into the air after Giorno confirms that there are no other living creatures on the plane besides them. Trish reveals that she remembers her mom talking about Cala di Volpe - The fox's tail - when she talked about her dad, which is a resort in Sardinia. Giorno hears noises coming from a freezer on the plane and asks Mista to be ready to shoot. They open it and find fingers in ...

Talking Head is still within Narancia's mouth and Clash has chomped down into Giorno's neck as we kick off this episode. Clash is pulling Giorno underwater with it and teleports to dodge the incoming attacks from Aerosmith. Squalo is attempting to finish off Giorno so Narancia's Aerosmith cannot track them, but Clash has to keep teleporting so it doesn't get shot by Narnacia's stand. Narancia attemps to shoot at Clash, but mises and hits Giorno. Clash escapes into the sewers to finish off Giorno, but Tiziano notices that Narancia said "They got away" and Talking Head's ability would not allow Narancia to say that if that was true, so he tells Squalo that Narancia knows where Clash took Giorno. The gas emitting from the bullet holes on Giorno allowed Narancia to track them. Aerosmith lands hits on Clash, wounding Squalo. Clash teleports to a pot boiling on a stove and Narancia shoots that pot, wounding Clash even further. However, that was part of Squal...

Giorno starts to notice strange things happen as the team waits on the boat for Buccellati. Time starts to skip for them and Giorno notices this. He finds out later that this is due to King Crimson's ability. Giorno decides to head to the church where Buccellati was supposed to meet the boss. Buccellati has been punched right through his stomach by King Crimson, but Buccellati counterattacks by turning the hole into a closed zipper and trapping King Crimson's fist in there. Buccellati lands a successful blow, but King Crimson walks through time, dodging a barrage of blows from Sticky Fingers. King Crimson chops right into Buccellati's shoulder, causing massive damage. The boss goes to finish off Trish, but the ladybug pendent that Buccellati got from Giorno and planted on the boss sucks him into it. The ladybug was actually Coco Jumbo and this bought Buccellati precious time. He opens a zipper in the floor and tosses the turtle into the pipes. Buccellati attempts to drag hi...

Prosciutto and Buccellati are being flung out of the speeding train they were on due to Buccellati creating a hole in the train and forcing both of them outside the train, but Pesci uses his Beach Boy to snag Prosciutto's hand to keep him from falling to his death. Buccellati has grabbed onto Prosciutto's legs so he does not fall as well. Buccellati uses Sticky Fingers to attack the fishing line attached to Prosciutto's hand, creating a zipper on Prosciutto's hand and forcing the fishing hook out of his body and reattaches it to Buccellati's own hand. Pesci notices the aging process has stopped on the passengers of the train, so he now knows that he does not have Prosciutto on his Beach Boy's hook anymore. Suddenly, the aging commences again and Buccellati notices that Prosciutto is still alive hanging on to life by laying on a railing on the bottom of the train. Pesci, with newfound resolve and inspiration due to Prosciutto still living and still using his stan...

We have left off with Mista falling for the trap that Pesci has placed with Beach Boy. Mista attempts to shoot the line of the fishing hook stuck in side of him, but the bullet ricochets off and hits Mista. Pesci now knows that he has caught Mista and starts to lure him in. Mista uses Sex Pistols to attempt to dislodge the hook, but to no avail. Mista shoots at Pesci and hits the ice cubs that were keeping Pesci from aging due to the effects of the Grateful Dead. Pesci panics and looks for more ice, but is stopped by an elderly man who is being aged. Mista shoots again and hits Pesci's hand. Mista now has ice to prevent him from aging further. Mista asks Pesci where his ally is and the same old man that had stopped Pesci has stopped Mista. This older man turns out to be Pesci's ally, Prosciuttio. He turns back to his original age after quickly aging Mista, thus incapacitating him. Prosciuttio scolds Pesci for acting so recklessly and panicking. Prosciuttio picks up Mista's ...

Last week the staff from David Productions took time off for the New Year, so we had somewhat of a recap episode last week. We start back up in JoJo's with the gang driving to a train station in Naples to use the key that they obtained from the dog mosaic. Abbacchio's arm was reattached thanks to Sticky Fingers. Once they arrive at the station, they are instructed by the boss to use the key near a drinking fountain at the station and take the train to Venice. Mista makes fun of Fugo, who was looking at Trish and wondering how it must feel to be a target all her life. At the train station, we see two members from the Hitman Team, Prosciutto and Pesci, looking at Buccellati (who is near a drinking fountain). Buccellati cannot figure out where he is supposed to use the key, but then he notices that the turtle near the fountain has an indentation on its shell that resembles the shape of the key. Buccellati takes the turtle and goes on the train. Pesci and Prosciutto decide to try t...

Fugo is in a tough spot as Illuso has pulled him into the mirror realm without Fugo's stand to help him. Illuso is distracted by Abbacchio running toward the dog mosaic to retrieve the key. As Abbacchio reaches the key, a mirror is there beside the key. Illuso pulls him into the mirror world, but Abbacchio is actually his stand disguised as himself. Illuso has pulled Abbacchio's stand, Moody Blues, into the mirror realm with him. He attacks Illuso but Illuso pulls the real Abbacchio in with another shard of a mirror. Illuso permits half of Abbacchio into the realm and allows half of Moody Blues to leave, leaving Abbacchio incapacitated. Abbacchio severs his own hand, with the key in it, and uses Moody Blues to send the severed hand back to Giorno. Illuso runs off to retrieve the key. Giorno gets the key, but Illuso stops him and pulls Giorno into the mirror realm as well. Giorno reveals that he has been infected with Purple Haze's virus ability, which has now infected Illus...

Fugo is driving Giorno and Abbacchio to the dog mosaic in Pompeii in order to retrieve the key that Passione's boss put there. After a fit of anger from Fugo, they arrive and are met by an enemy stand user. Fugo sees a mysterious man in a mirror and warns the others that he is behind them. Looking behind them, no one is there. Realizing that he is not behind them, Fugo deduces that their enemy is within the mirror they are looking at. Fugo thinks quickly on his feet and shoves Giorno and Abbacchio away from the mirror. After doing so, Fugo is all alone and the enemy stand user appears in front of him. The enemy has detailed information on everyone in Buccellati's gang except for Giorno, who is new to the gang. Fugo realizes that they are within the mirror. This is the ability of the enemy stand Man in the Mirror (which is changed to Mirror Man in the subtitles). Abbacchio and Giorno are looking for Fugo, who just disappeared in front of them. The enemy facing Fugo asks him wher...

We pick up where we left off from the previous episode where Formaggio survived the Aerosmith attack by returning to his original size. Narancia has also become so small, his stand does little damage to larger threats. Narancia chooses to hide in a bottle until he can think of a way to beat Formaggio, but Formaggio corners him and traps him under his foot. Formaggio decides to torture Narancia until he tells him where Trish is. We briefly flash back to Narancia's past, where we learn that his mother died when Narancia was at a young age and his dad was cold-hearted and distant. Narancia joined a group of kids where he idolized the leader, which he called "Bro". He even dyed his hair the same color as Bro's (which is blonde) when Bro told him that he would look good with blonde hair. The next day, Narancia was arrested for breaking into an elderly woman's house. He was not the perpetrator, but the crime was pinned on him. Bro actually did the crime and set up the w...

Narancia has noticed that he is shrinking at an alarming rate due to Little Feet's ability. Back at the house where Buccellati's team is hiding Trish, they are staring to get worried, especially Fugo. Giorno points out that Narancia is taking a long time to get back. Trish is also getting impatient, wanting the shopping items she asked for. Narancia realizes that he needs to call Buccellati and tell them about this stand user and his ability to shrink people. The automatic door to a shop will not open due to how small Narancia has become. Shattering the door with Aerosmith, he tries to call Buccallati. Formaggio cuts the phone lines, making sure Narancia cannot call Buccellati. He knows that if the team knows that he has attacked Narancia, they will move Trish. Narancia's stand finds Formaggio hiding in his back pocket. Formaggio escapes by using the force of unshrinking a pen, but Aerosmith finds him quickly and shoots at him, wounding his leg. Formaggio hides in a sewage ...

Buccellati's gang are at a bathroom stitching up Mista's stomach wound, which Fugo does with a stapler. Buccellati states that they are close to the treasure, but Narancia notices people outside. Investigating, he is met by two janitors. Narancia pulls a knife on one, but she twists his arm and turns the scuffle. It is then revealed that the other janitor is actually a capo of Passione, Mr. Pericolo. He is there to collect the treasure Buccellati hid. Buccellati uses Sticky Fingers to hit a urinal, revealing the treasure hidden within. After checking the treasure, Mr. Pericolo gives Buccellati the title of capo, officially taking Polpo's place. Pericolo reveals that there was a job left unfinished that Polpo was assigned. The job is guarding the daughter of the mysterious boss of Passione. The other janitor is that daughter; her name is Trish. Her mother had died a couple of months ago and she asked a man named Solido Naso to be found. That name is one of many aliases that ...

Episode 8 kicks off with some back story to the main Buccellati member of this episode: Mista. We learn that Mista was laid back and lived a happy life. He would pick fights with people when he saw fit. One day, he saw a man assaulting a woman in a car and chose to intervene. More men pour out of the car and shot bullets at him, with none of these bullets hitting him. He picks up a gun and shoots all of them dead. This was the first time Mista has ever killed someone. Flashing forward to present day, we see Sale (the stand user Mista is up against) survived a bullet to the head that Mista shot at him previously. While on top of the moving truck, Sale reveals his stand Kraft Work (or Arts and Crafts). Mista pulls back to reload, but his hand is stuck to the truck. The driver reveals his hands are stuck to the steering wheel and his feet are stuck on the gas pedal as well. Mista notices the bullets Kraft Work deflected are now floating around Sale. Mista has the realization that his stan...

We start episode 7 of Golden Wind with the members of Buccellati's gang kicking the shit out of Zuccjero's body for all the trouble he put the gang through. Mista chooses to interrogate his severed head (still alive and functioning due to Sticky Finger's ability) as they head towards Capri, the location of Polpo's hidden treasure. Mista fastens eye glasses to Zucchero's face while keeping one of his eyes open with a fishing hook, so the sun shines into the eye glasses and is intensified onto one eye of Zucchero. Narancia proceeds to dance like never before to some funky music, prompting Fugo and Mista to join in on this torture dance. Abbacchio cuts off the gang before they can torture the severed head more, showing them that Zucchero notified someone via radio on the island of Capri, likely his partner, that they are headed to Capri on a boat. Moody Blues plays back that message and the gang decided to ambush that mysterious partner on Capri before he realizes that...

We kick off our bizarre adventure this week with Abbacchio's backstory. He was once a police officer who wanted to spread justice. That is, until he found out that gang members and other criminals he was locking up just get released again by posting bail. He saw corrupt people all around him and so he becomes corrupt. This ends up getting his partner killed. Abbacchio took a bribe to look the other way from a criminal and that very criminal shot and killed his partner. After this tragedy, Abbacchio vows to never have his heart moved again. Jumping back to present time, Abbacchio is determined to solve what this enemy stand does and where the other gang members are being held. Attempting to follow where the fly goes that Giorno made from Narancia's shoe, Buccellati uses Sticky Fingers to open holes in the boat, looking in pipes and below the deck to see if the enemy stand user is hiding there. Hopping below quarters, Abbacchio uses Moody Blues to try to determine what exactly ha...
