Araki has been a fan of gore in order to emphasize just how villainous a bad guy is or how bloody and painful an injury is. He uses this method of thinking perfectly in this episode. Nero, the stand user with Metallica, has a terrifying ability that can easily win fights, hence the reason he is the leader of the Hitman Squad, also called La Squadra. He is a skilled assassin and he reminds us of this at every part of this fight. In fact, he even figures out the boss's identity even before our main protagonist. This fight also was not just a fight to give the bad guy a power up or anything like that. Nero gave the boss a run for his money and the boss almost lost to Nero's dangerous stand ability. Luck was on the boss's side however and Nero dies to Narancia's Aerosmith. The end to this fight felt extremely clever and well thought out from Araki. Maybe he made Narancia's stand work like that just to defeat Nero like this? Or perhaps Araki is just really good at thin...

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...

Following a brand new opening for part 5, Traitor's Requiem or Uragirimono no Requiem, we see our protagonists navigating a boat through the canals of Venice and Buccellati is explaining that they shouldn't leave Venice until they defeat the elite guard members that are in Venice, since news of their betrayal to Passione is new, there shouldn't be many of them in Venice; this gives Buccellati and his crew an advantage. They stop to get food and beat the shit out of a guy who Narancia thought was an enemy. Buccellati tells the group that the boss's stand, King Crimson, is invincible, but if they can somehow find his identity, they might have a chance against him. Trish has been the key all along. Trish reveals to the group that she remembers her mother stating that her father used to live in Sardinia. Narancia notices something strange with his soup; his spoon disappeared. He then sees a shark swimming within his soup. The shark then appears in his spoon with soup still...

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 ...
