Golden Wind is set in Italy during 2001, two years after the events of Diamond Is Unbreakable. The story follows Giorno Giovanna, the illegitimate son of Dio Brando, who joins the Passione mafia organization with the goal of taking over and reforming it from the inside. Giorno possesses the Stand Gold Experience, which gives him the ability to create life and transform living things.
Along the way, Giorno is joined by a team of loyal companions, including Bruno Bucciarati, Leone Abbacchio, Guido Mista, Narancia Ghirga, and Trish Una. Together, they must face off against the corrupt members of Passione, as well as the mysterious boss of the organization, Diavolo.
Synopsis
After surviving his thrilling adventures in Morioh, Koichi Hirose, a Stand user and ally of the Joestar family, has arrived in Naples, Italy. His mission? To locate a man named Haruno Shiobana, who may very well be the rightful heir to a fearsome and formidable legacy. However, Haruno Shiobana now goes by the name Giorno Giovanna and earns a living through petty theft. Nevertheless, there is no denying the air of royalty and astuteness that runs in his veins, nor his innate ability to command Stands, supernatural manifestations of his fighting spirit. Regardless of the name he chooses to go by, Giorno Giovanna’s lineage poses a genuine menace, as he is the son of Dio Brando, a villainous figure whose presence instills fear. It is inconceivable that the offspring of Dio could live a quiet existence on this planet.
