This article is about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part 5: Golden Wind

Part 5: ("ōgon no kaze", or )

Stars Giorno Giovanna, the son of Dio Brando (conceived using Jonathan Joestar's body) and a Japanese woman. He uses the stand Gold Experience, which gives life to anything it touches. When Giorno was a child, his mother married an Italian man; Giorno hence grew up as an Italian. Giorno is determined to rise to the top of organized crime and become a Gang Star in order to help people and make the world a better place, so he joins 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 leaders). He is placed in the group of Bruno Bucciarati (Sticky Fingers), who is at first suspicious of Giorno but is eventually won over and decides to work with him to take over the mob from within, and put an end to the Passione drug trade. Bucciarati is also the superior of fellow Stand users Guido Mista (Sex Pistols), Leone Abbachino (Moody Blues), Narancia Ghirga (Aerosmith), Fugo Pannacotta (Purple Haze). Through various missions, the group - suspicious of Giorno - soon discover his courage and generosity, and slowly warm to him.

After several successful missions, Bucciarati's group is assigned a secret mission by the Boss himself--escort his teenaged daughter, Trish Una, safely to him. With the help of a Stand-using turtle, they fend off various attacks by another Stand-using faction within the mob, determined to get revenge on the Boss for killing their leaders--only by kidnapping Trish can they hope to learn his identity. However, Bucciarati discovers, to his horror, that the Boss only wanted Trish brought to him so he could kill her himself--his intent was nothing more than to permanently conceal who he is. Bucciarati's group soon discovers that they are the only ones who can keep Trish safe from the Boss's Stand King Crimson, and even after Trish discovers her own Stand ability, Spice Girl, they find themselves in the unenviable position of opposing all of Passione in order to protect her.

This arc has been made into a PlayStation 2 game by Capcom (in Japan only).
