JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5 Golden Wind Arc by Arc Review (08/10)

The Requiem Plays Quietly


When they wake up, the gang slowly realizes that their souls were switched between bodies. Narancia having switched with Giorno, and Mista with Trish. Polnareff switched his soul with Coco Jumbo and thus lives as a turtle. He reveals them the potential of the Arrow, a Stand pierced by it can upgrade itself into Requiem, gaining metaphysical powers above even Diavolo's time manipulation.


As they approach Chariot Requiem, they see Diavolo's body racing toward it, but it is Bucciarati who switched with Diavolo. Together, the gang tries to hurt Chariot Requiem and take the Arrow, but the task is made near impossible since their own Stands attack them when they get close to the Arrow.


Bucciarati's body also wakes up and the person residing inside his body is shot down by Mista. Almost immediately, time is erased once again and Narancia is killed, Giorno then retakes his original body. Polnareff theorizes that Diavolo suffered from dissociative personality, effectively causing two souls to inhabit one body, meaning Diavolo's whereabouts are now unknown. As the group exits the Coliseum, it is revealed that it was Doppio who was inside Bucciarati's body.


In the streets King Crimson discreetly sabotages, Mista's pistol having been destroyed, and the pursuit is made all the more urgent as everyone suffers a forced evolution.


Rating: 8/10


Diavolo Rising


The group realizes that Diavolo is possessing one of them, but before they can confirm any suspicion, King Crimson incapacitates Giorno and takes control of Mista's body which was where he was hosted. Diavolo then quickly runs toward Chariot Requiem. He confirms Chariot Requiem's weakness and incapacitates it.


The gang hopelessly delays Diavolo from taking the Arrow, their efforts rendered null by King Crimson. Trish's soul intervenes, as she manages to send the Arrow head toward the gang. Furious, King Crimson punches through Spice Girl, and leaps toward the Arrow head, seemingly piercing his own Stand in the process.


However, Bucciarati has managed to completely destroy Chariot Requiem causing everybody's soul to be forced back into its original body. After a brief farewell with Giorno, Bucciarati's soul ascends to the heavens.


At last, Giorno takes the Arrow head into his hands.
