Although his Stand’s power was teased last week with the butterflies that turned into dollar bills, and the frog that turned into Koichi’s stolen suitcase, it was confirmed in the latest episode that Golden Wind gives life to whatever it punches. Giorno says he only discovered the ability a few weeks before, and that it changes any object into any living thing.
He uses it against a human being for the first time in this fight, and with a punch, Bucciarati is given so much life that he thinks the world is moving in slow motion. But in reality, a landed blow from Golden Wind gave him so much life that it overloads the opponent’s senses.
Bucciarati thought he had been given enough life to move at godlike speed and strength, but he didn’t move an inch. It’s then that Giorno is given enough of a window to turn the tide of the fight and punch Bucciarati back. He and Bucciarati learn their abilities only extend a few meters, and the fight eventually comes to a draw.
After a unique move from Bucciarati has him place someone else’s arm in the place of his own in order to avoid a direct hit from Golden Wind, Giorno ended the fight deciding Bucciarati must be a good person at his core. Now the two will work together, combine their impressive powers, and rise through the ranks of the crime underworld in order to bring peace.
