First, Araki's concern to put fund history for each main character, in addition to placing different motifs on each. extremely positive, we can compare this evolution with Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders) where background stories were shallow and uncreative. This point was one of the most important for the work.
Second, the solution and the final resolution on the stands powers: absolutely well done, mainly because it is something necessary for the work after so long.
Well, let's start.
The story begins well, with a different plot, and oblivious to the main work, something similar to Part 2 starts with a good development, good construction of the geographic setting in addition to the Italian environmentalism, which is perfect. The story captivates in the beginning, showing a brief continuation of part 4, with Koichi participating.
I need to point out that Golden Wind puts the elements of gangs and mafias in a well structured and constructed way, that is a very positive point in the work.
So why not a bigger note to the story? Simply because it does not give Jotaro a quest for the Giorno, it is simply abandoned, unlike part 4 where there were some points that are not a problem by being left out, here we have a bigger connection, something that could have been explained.
Yet I find a story above medium, a good story, with an end that is not accelerated, something rare in Jojo's.
Art: I have nothing to complain about about art, here is the evolution of Araki as draftsman, still retains much of the old traces, but always evolving.
Characters: ah ... here we have a complication. To explain it better, I'd like to compare it with part 3: in part 3 we have a well erased Jojo's, to be sure, it's an edge character stereotype, but with very charismatic side characters. In that part, it repeats itself, Giorno is well erased, shows almost nothing of emotion, incredibly is even charismatic, but ... is overshadowed by his companions, and what does this have to do with part 3? Well, here the secondary characters have well-made, well-rooted stories, and each one, with its purpose, and a more in-depth explanation of why to enter the Passione. That's a very good point, never before in Jojo's have we had so many secondary characters explored and developed. Meanwhile, Giorno is well erased, has its moments of glory, but honestly, it is something basic. I do not feel comfortable overestimating just because of their incredible powers.
Villain final: I was disappointed with this villain, had everything to be better, but unfortunately only surpassed some like Kars, this in technical matters, because in charisma, is tied. While Yoshikage Kira, in my opinion, was the first great villain of Jojo's character construction, in part 5 that decays, the main villain is quite normal, nothing too much, has an AMAZING ability. I can not say he's a bad villain, on the contrary, his character proposition is unbelievably original and well crafted, but as a villain, he's quite normal inside Jojo's.
Final verdict: My opinion is of a person who likes the work as a whole, but who does not put this above reason: Part 5 is not bad, has several wonderful positive points, has its defects. It is not a masterpiece, it is not the best part of Jojo's, Giorno does not have much to be considered the best Jojo (unfortunately), I still recommend it, I do not agree that they skip this part just because they are oblivious to the main story, are resolved here.
What is missing to be better? Well, maybe a greater steal of the scene throughout the manga by the protagonist, a greater personliness in him, build more climax, put a greater tension in the final fight, well, that point may be controversial, since many would say that I am wrong, but , I do not agree to say the conrtary. Other parts were far superior to the climax of tension and suspense. The final fight also left much to be desired, of course, that in those situations, there was no way to extend the fight for more chapters, but it could have been better.
Failure to complete the initial proposal, something that was done in Part 4, is disappointing as well.
Notes: 7; 8; 8; 8
I recommend!
