Synopsis
Characters
- Giorno Giovanna[lower-alpha 2] is the human son of the vampire Dio Brando, and went by the name Haruno Shiobana before moving to Italy. He aspires to overthrow the Passione mafia's boss and turn Passione into an organization that helps the people of Italy. He uses the Stand Gold Experience,[lower-alpha 3] which has the ability to imbue things with life.
- Bruno Bucciarati[lower-alpha 4] is the leader of a gang within Passione. He uses the Stand Sticky Fingers,[lower-alpha 5] which can place a zipper on any object, allowing entrance into it. He also appears in the 2012 spin-off one-shot Jolyne, Fly High with Gucci.[6]
- Leone Abbacchio[lower-alpha 6] is a former police officer, and a member of Bucciarati's gang. He uses the Stand Moody Blues,[lower-alpha 7] which can replay past history as a 3D video recording, although doing so leaves it temporarily defenseless. Abbacchio also appears in Jolyne, Fly High with Gucci.[6]
- Guido Mista[lower-alpha 8] is a member of Bucciarati's gang. He uses a revolver in tandem with his Stand, Sex Pistols,[lower-alpha 9] which is composed of six small humanoids who can control the bullets Mista shoots.
- Narancia Ghirga[lower-alpha 10] is a member of Bucciarati's gang. He uses the airplane-like Stand Aerosmith,[lower-alpha 11] which is equipped with machine guns, missiles and a carbon dioxide radar.
- Pannacotta Fugo[lower-alpha 12] is Bucciarati's right-hand man in the gang. He uses the Stand Purple Haze,[lower-alpha 13] which can release a virus that rapidly devours organic matter. Fugo is the main character of the novel Purple Haze Feedback.
- Trish Una[lower-alpha 14] is the daughter of Passione's boss, and is on the run from rival factions within the mafia. She uses the Stand Spice Girl,[lower-alpha 15] which can increase objects' elasticity, making them nearly indestructible.
- Diavolo[lower-alpha 16] is the boss of Passione, and the father of Trish Una. He suffers from dissociative identity disorder, having a second personality called Vinegar Doppio;[lower-alpha 17] his appearance changes depending on which personality is the currently dominant one. He uses the Stand King Crimson,[lower-alpha 18] which has the power to negate processes, leaving only their consequences. Activating its power causes a time skip, where everything except Diavolo and King Crimson is changed to be in the state they would have been a few seconds later; for example, a bullet that would have hit Diavolo will suddenly be shifted to be on his other side. Diavolo is able to predict what will happen during the timeskip by using King Crimson's second face, Epitaph;[lower-alpha 19] this sub-power can also be used by the Doppio personality to see seconds into the future.
Plot
The manga begins in 2001, when the Diamond Is Unbreakable character Koichi Hirose goes to Naples at the request of Jotaro Kujo to find someone known as Haruno Shiobana and get a skin sample of theirs. Shiobana turns out to be a middle school student named Giorno Giovanna—which sounds similar to "Haruno Shiobana"—who is the son of Dio Brando. Giorno attempts to steal Koichi's luggage, but is stopped by Koichi's Stand, Echoes Act Three. Giorno recognized his power as being a Stand power similar to his Gold Experience, a Stand that can give life to inanimate objects. The story then follows Giorno as he tries to become a boss of the mafia in order to make Naples a better place and help its people, specifically where availability of drugs to young people are concerned. After an altercation with gang member Leaky Eye Luka, he attempts to join Passione, an organized crime group that employs many Stand users (essentially, his vision for Passione is akin to Robin Hood's band, in contrast to the sheer powerlust of its current leader). He is approached by a member of Passione, Bruno Bucciarati, who suspects him of killing Luka. During the fight readers are introduced to Buciarati's Stand, Sticky Fingers, that can place and open a zipper on any surface. Bucciarati challenges Giorno to complete the rite to join Passione, and therefore visit the Capo, Polpo, in prison.
Giorno is given a lighter by Polpo, with instructions to not let it go out. When it is accidentally extinguished by a passerby, Polpo's Stand Black Sabbath is activated, which pursues Giorno from the shadows, quite literally. Giorno is able to subdue Black Sabbath with the help of Koichi, passing Polpo's test and joining Passione. He is placed in the group of Bucciarati, who agrees to work with Giorno to take over the mob from within, and put an end to the Passione drug trade. Bucciarati is the superior of the four other members of Giorno's group, fellow Stand users Guido Mista, Leone Abbacchio, Narancia Ghirga, and Pannacotta Fugo. Throughout the span of the story, the group - suspicious of Giorno - soon discover his courage and generosity, and slowly warm to him.
After finding Polpo's amassed fortune following his death on the island of Capri, Bucciarati is promoted and his group is assigned a secret mission by the boss himself—escort his teenage daughter, Trish Una, safely to him. With the help of a Stand-using turtle, they fend off various attacks by Stand-using traitors within the mob, determined to overthrow the boss—only by kidnapping Trish can they hope to learn his identity. After traveling to Pompeii and Florence, they arrive in Venice to meet the boss at the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore on San Giorgio Maggiore island. However, while doing so Bucciarati discovers that the boss only wanted Trish brought to him so he could kill her himself—his intent was nothing more than to permanently conceal his identity. He alone tries to kill the Boss, in order for him and Giorno to achieve their goal, but realizes his Stand that can erase time and subsequently predict events is too powerful and decides to retreat. Bucciarati's group, minus Fugo, then join him in betraying the Boss and protect Trish so they can learn his identity. Even after Trish discovers her own Stand ability, they find themselves in the unenviable position of opposing all of the Passione gang in order to protect her.
They travel to the boss's hometown of Sardinia, after Trish informs them that that is where her mother met him. There, Giorno and company are contacted by someone who knows the boss's identity, but will only tell them in person. They travel to Rome to meet him, but the boss follows them there as well and kills him first. However, just before Jean Pierre Polnareff dies, he uses a Stand Arrow on his own Stand upgrading it to Silver Chariot Requiem, which gives it the ability to control people's spirits. It exchanges everyone's spirit with another, switching their bodies. Now in the turtle's body, Polnareff explains to the group about the Stand arrows and the boss's identity as Diavolo, which he knows having once fought him some years ago. However, as Polnareff is dead, Silver Chariot Requiem is out of control and will not allow anyone to get the arrow. The group and Diavolo, hidden in Mista's body alongside Trish's spirit because of the switch, chase after it. While Diavolo succeeds in defeating it, thanks to Bucciarati's sacrifice Giorno obtains the arrow and succeeds in upgrading his Stand to Gold Experience Requiem to defeat Diavolo. His new power causes Diavolo to continuously experience death over and over. In the last scene, Giorno is seen, with Mista, having men kneel before him, suggesting he becomes the boss of Passione.
