Anyway, I don’t hate the characters, but I don’t LOVE them either I just wish more care was put into the characters. I am admittedly shitting on the characters but I can’t deny the fact that watching these characters’ dynamics with the plot and each other was a Golden experience (heh, see what I did there?).

Instead, I would’ve preferred if they’d developed throughout the show’s run. Any attempt to flesh out their characters via backstories felt cheesy and banal. Can you find the logic in here, because I surely can’t.įugo and Narancia can be described as 150 IQ and 50 IQ respectively and that basically sums up their character. That is all it takes for him to follow his religion of fate.Ībbacchio is a dick to Girono for some reason and only trusts Buccellati because he has “lost faith in humanity” due to him, with his own volition, receiving a bribe from a criminal which ultimately resulted in the death of his partner. He believes this because he was sent to prison and then got out. Mista is a character who religiously believes that every person in this world has a destiny set out for him and a man cannot deny his destiny no matter how hard he tries. Both are well characterised and I really enjoyed their backstory, I really wish I could say the same for the rest of the characters. Girono is a great main character and so is Buccellati. There are 6 main characters this time, viz Girono, Buccellati, Mista, Narancia, Abbacchio and Fugo. The characters in part 4, along with being awfully stylish and making me self-conscious of my own image, had their own distinct personalities and received immense characterisation which helped solidify their place in the overall narrative, but Golden Wind decides to not have as much depth to the characters and instead gives them some kind of unique trait, which, when applied to minor antagonists works to some extent but, when the same strategy is used for main characters, it falls flat. Comparing the characters in part 5 to those in part 4 or part 2 makes me feel like there’s something missing with the characters in this part. That being said, many of the characters in this season are quite boring. They all have their unique personalities and powers.
JOJO URAGIRIMONO NO REQUIEM SERIES
There are many characters that have been introduced thus far in the series and no two characters feel the same. The characters are colourful and flamboyant as has been the case with previous instalments of the franchise and each character brings something new to the table. The plot is as simple as it gets but the way it is crafted is what makes Jojo an amazing series. This season we follow Giorno Giovanna as he has a dream in which he pledges to become a gangster and kill the reigning mafia boss. Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is one of the few shounen that does something which most other shounen don’t, that is, it’s actually manages to be interesting.

JOJO Part 5 aka “Golden (Experience) Wind” aka “How does King Crimson work?” aka “Araki flexes on you with his awesome taste in music” aka “Girono’s piss drinking adventure” is the fifth instalment Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get started. Now, before you guys unleash the 7-page Muda on me, let me address this first - overrated does not mean bad, it just means that while the show is good, people put it on a pedestal reserved for the greats. I am a fan of JOJO, a big one at that, but this part, i.e. JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Ougon no Kaze follows the endeavors of Giorno after joining Bruno's team while working under Passione, fending off other gangsters and secretly plotting to overthrow their mysterious boss. Furthermore, he is gifted with the unexplained Stand ability to give and create life-growing plants from the ground and turning inanimate objects into live animals, an ability he has dubbed "Gold Experience." Fascinated by the might of local gangsters, Giorno has dreamed of rising up in their ranks and becoming a "Gang-Star," a feat made possible by his encounter with Bruno Buccellati, a member of the Passione gang with his own sense of justice. However, various fateful encounters will soon occur.Įnter Giorno Giovanna, a 15-year-old boy with an eccentric connection to the Joestar family, who makes a living out of part-time jobs and pickpocketing. In the coastal city of Naples, corruption is teeming-the police blatantly conspire with outlaws, drugs run rampant around the youth, and the mafia governs the streets with an iron fist.
