JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 5: Ougon no Kaze

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. However, various fateful encounters will soon occur.

Enter 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. 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 Bucciarati, a member of the Passione gang with his own sense of justice.

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.

I thought Stardust Crusaders was my favorite Jojo arc, but it wasn’t until I watched Golden Wind that I was completely swayed! I can’t decide what I liked about it the most: the storyline? The characters and their motivations? The clever new stands and creative ways they’re used? I couldn’t get enough of it! I felt such a deep connection to these characters and how much they meant to each other. Their convictions were so strong and their desire to see things all the way through was so endearing to me. When the group succeeded I was happy for them, when they failed or suffered ... I felt so badly for them. The last time I wanted something so badly for a character was probably for Yuri on Yuri on Ice. The great desire and tenacity to see something through to the end is something that I admire in my anime characters. It doesn’t always need to be bloody and dramatic, but to see someone fight for a cause so noble really makes me swell with pride.

Pride was only one of the many emotions I felt in this arc. I was inspired, disgusted, angered, and torn apart. I cried so often and so deeply I had to get a hold of myself, especially when we started losing precious people. In certain anime, we can always assume that we’re going to lose some people along the way. But it’s just the way that it happens that tears me up inside. When you see the light go out in someone’s eyes and you hear their last thoughts. You want to reach through the screen and shake them. You don’t want it to be the end. And above all, you want good things for them. You don’t want their story to end or for them to die in vain or suffer needlessly. It really makes you think about your own life and wonder if there’s anything so great that you would put your life on the line or throw yourself into danger for.

That’s why I love the Jojo series. People who are brave and noble in spirit, people with conviction and resolve, tenacity and gumption. People that have stories to tell and full lives they wish to live, no matter how big or small. The show inspires you to want to live life out loud and make great friendships along the way. Friendships that are stretched by distance, but are always close at heart.

Mixed Feelings

Sama kaya seri Jojo lainnya, nontonnya capek. Lawan Diavolonya kurang berasa, kaya cuma kabur-kaburan terus oper-operan panah stand requiem, tapi gw suka suasana mafianya sih,apalagi yang pas bagian kiriman balok es itu.
Openingya boleh ya, Requim wo wow woah~
Endingnya Jojo gw jarang denger, palingan yang Roundabout karena itu juga karena meme.

Just like other Jojo series, it's tiring to watch. Against Diavolo it doesn't have much of a feel, it's like just running around and passing the requiem arrows, but I like the mafia atmosphere, especially the part where the ice blocks are delivered.
The opening is okay, Requim wo wow woah~
I rarely hear the ending of ... Jojo, mostly Roundabout because it's also a meme.

This was by far the worst JoJo season I've seen and I just finished part 1 of season 6, which was 10x better compared to this one.

JoJo is a side character in this one.

Story
-
There's essentially no story. It's literally about taking down the "Boss" of the mafia. There's nothing else. The crew and especially JoJo have no solid justifications for going after him. The only one being "drugs are bad, mmkay". The "Boss" was keeping his identity a secret and would kill anyone who would try to find out his true identity. That's it.

The world wasn't in danger. No one important was being targeted, well ... other than the obnoxious female character, but she's not even really vital to the story.

Characters
-
Speaking of characters, the female one was fine for the most part. But she's just not interesting in any way.

I absolutely hate the character known as Mista. He is the dumbest JoJo character I have seen and is a self-righteous douche. He literally never learns from his actions and mistakes. Honestly, this character has T H I C C plot armor, the thickest I've seen in JoJo. He should have died MULTIPLE times. But what really angers me is he's actually braindead. I'm not exaggerating. He's actually really that dumb.

The entire anime revolves around a power called a "Stand", which is unpredictable and can attack at any point. Mista is no stranger to this and has encountered surprise enemy attacks numerous times. And yet, some 20+ episodes into the anime, his 1 anorexic braincell still couldn't make the connection that strange things happening = potential enemy stand.

Seriously, halfway into the anime JoJo suspects something strange is happening on a plane they're riding in and he informs Mista of this. What does Mista do? He goes "HUUUUUH?" and questions JoJo's sanity.

The other characters at least have a brain, but they're still just not interesting. Also, one of them is a complete donkey for seemingly no reason. I mean, he literally peed into a tea kettle and poured a glass for JoJo to drink. And throughout the anime, he's always irritated by JoJo. Like just kiss already.

Bucciarati was actually interesting and felt like an actual mafia member.

Powers
-
"Hey can I copy your homework?"
"Sure, but just change it a little"

A lot of the stand powers in this season are taken from the older ones, but changed a little. I can't get into it more without spoilers, but if you've seen the past seasons of JoJo then there will be times when you think "Hey wait, isn't this that one character's ability? Oh, it's slightly different"

Animation
-
The artwork and animation in general is decent, but nothing special. Though, at one point we see a clip from the Dio and Jotaro arc, and for whatever reason the characters are so much skinnier than they were in the original season. Just why?

Also, if there's anything Bizarre about this season it's the character design. I don't understand the male character design. They have the weirdest clothes, odd color palettes, and strange hair styles. And there was even a still image of all the main characters posing in a very sus manner.

Sound
-
The music and sound were alright, but again nothing special.

Though, the ending song is actually bizarre and isn't even related to the anime in any way. It's like a joke, only it's not funny.

Enjoyment
-
4.

There were some funny parts, I'll give it that. And a few nice scenes, mostly involving Bucciarati.

There's just no tension and no real story. Even the fights pale in comparison to the previous seasons.

Also, one of the characters makes a dooooooroorooroorrr ring tone with his voice that's extremely annoying. And it especially doesn't make sense given the character wants to stay out of the spotlight.

Overall
-
Not worth watching.
