I, Giorno Giovanna, have a dream.
~ Giorno Giovanna's most famous quote
I plan on defeating your boss and taking over this city. In order to get rid of gangsters that sell drugs to children, I'm going to have become a gangster myself.
~ Giorno informing Bucciarati his goal to reform Passione.

Giorno Giovanna is the main protagonist of the manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind and its anime adaptation. He is a teenager who wishes to end the drug trade in Italy by overthrowing Passione's boss.

He is voiced by Kensho Ono in Japanese, and Phillip Reich in English.

What Makes Him Magnificent?[]

In General[]

  • He has a very epic theme song, Il Vento Aureo.
  • Gold Experience itself is a stand with the very interesting ability of transforming objects into flora or fauna or back to normal (and at the start of the series, transferring and reflecting blows along with regressing senses). After Giorno pierces himself with the Requiem Arrow, his strong spirit is rewarded with Gold Experience becoming Gold Experience Requiem which has the ability to nullify an event and fully revert it, arguably making Gold Experience Requiem one of the most powerful Stands in the entire series.
  • In combat, he always comes up with strategies to defeat his enemies, expertly and cleverly using the abilities of his stand, Gold Experience.
  • While he did kill some of the enemies he encountered, they were are all necessary and he only kills as a last resort.

Vento Aureo[]

  • He returned a woman's wallet and used his Stand to turn money into butterflies.
  • Tricked Koichi by stealing his luggage.
  • Despite Koichi initially believing that he's as evil as his biological father and trying to stop him, Giorno convinced him of his innocence and secured his alliance.
  • Avenged an innocent janitor's life by defeating Black Sabbath and killed Polpo for his crimes.
  • Spared Bucciarati's life by joining Passione to end the drug trade.
  • Developed his healing abilities during the fight with Melone, saving many of his comrades.
  • Successfully analyzed how Prosciutto's stand worked and saved Narancia and Mista from getting killed by him.
  • Realizing that Diavolo planned to betray Bucciarati, Giorno spear-headed the campaign to rescue him and stopped Diavolo in time. It was only due to this that Bucciarati was able to temporarily revive himself and stop his boss.
  • Skillfully helped Narancia defeat Squalo and Tiziano.
  • Tricked Cioccolata into letting his guard down, and grievously injured him by firing a stag beetle into his head.
  • Due to Cioccolata's heinous crimes, Giorno successfully tricked him and gave him a severe beatdown at the hands of Gold Experience.
  • Stopped Diavolo from getting the Requiem Arrow and defeated Diavolo with Gold Experience Requiem.
  • He successfully took over as the new Boss of Passione and began rectifying all of the Organization's worst actions, mainly its drug trade.

What Makes Him a Baddie?[]

  • As mentioned previously, he was a criminal by stealing items from others. For example, he took for himself some money from the wallet he gave back to the woman. He also never truly reforms his criminal ways.
  • Showed some lethality to his enemies, although it was necessary as they were very ruthless mobsters, more so than him. The most extreme and infamous example of this is Diavolo's fate, who is cursed by Gold Experience Requiem (which, although a separate sapient being, is none-the-less born from Giorno's soul) to die, be revived and die again for all of eternity, although Giorno had no knowledge about what his Requiem Stand will evolve into when he pierced the Arrow.
  • Although the Organization will become more honorable under him, now that Giorno is the new Boss of Passione he will have to enable many crimes and immoral acts that are necessary for a mob organization to function, such as extortion, smuggling and corruption of officials. However, this is mostly Fridge Horror.

Trivia[]

  • He is the first Magnificent Baddie/Near Pure Good crossover, followed by Mr. Wolf.
  • Giorno is the only JoJo to be Magnificent Baddie.
