This isn't right...
It actually lit up again... Something is wrong here!
You relit the lighter, didn't you?
It can't be! You villain! What are you doing?!
This soul...
...is not one of the chosen.
Not one of the chosen?
H-Hey, are you...
He's dead... Uninjured, but dead...
You witnessed the lighter being relit, did you not?
You have one more chance. Two paths lie before you.
So it indiscriminately attacks anyone who sees the lighter be relit?
I-It's...!
The fiend! Did it just wrench out my soul through my shadow?
Episodio 04 Joining the Gang
You have one more chance. Two paths lie before you.
Follow the first and you shall become one of the chosen.
It's no use... This thing is stronger than Gold Experience...
That old man died after his soul was pierced by the arrow.
So what will happen to me...
...if it attacks my Stand?
Follow the second and you shall meet your demise.
Th-This arrow...
If it stabs me with the arrow, I'll die for sure!
I have no choice!
Even though Polpo is one of the capos...
...if he thinks he can stand in the way of my dream...
...and kill innocent people like that old man as if they were nothing more than trash...
...then I have no choice but to defeat him!
Muda Muda Muda Muda!
Gold Experience...
In addition to making your consciousness go berserk, it slows down your movement.
It's gone! That's impossible!
It shouldn't even be able to control itself right now.
Even if it were able to move, it should be incredibly slow.
It couldn't have disappeared!
It must be here somewhere...
It has to be!
I have to find it before it breaks free from its slowed-down time...
...or it will strike again...
What?!
I-In the shadows?! N-No!
It's moving slower, but it hasn't lost any strength!
I can't move a muscle!
The shadows! It really is in the shadows!
It can move through the shadows at incredible speed!
It doesn't seem to be able to follow me into the sunlight.
But the sun is going to set on the other side of the school soon...
If that happens, I'll have nowhere left to run.
What will happen if I force it into the sunlight?
It's worth a try.
But how can I drag it out?
What should I do? It's standing right there...
...waiting for the sun to set...
...with no reason to rush.
You!
What are you doing, Giorno Giovanna?!
Koichi!
Why is there someone lying collapsed at the bottom of the stairs?!
What did you do to him?!
Hey, don't get the wrong idea!
That wasn't me!
The Stand right here atta...
The wrong idea?
I saw you talking to him earlier!
I was watching from the window!
You were... watching?
Then... did you see him light the lighter, too?
Huh?
Don't step into the shadow of the handrail, Koichi!
Get away from the shadows!
I-It's too late!
You witnessed the lighter being relit, did you not?
Two paths lie before you.
Follow the first and you shall be a chosen one.
Wh-What's going on...?
Follow the second and you shall meet your demise.
This arrow!
Gold Experience!
The pain is unbearable...
It hurts like hell, but thanks to it...
...I found a way to drag it into the sunlight.
I turned the handrail into morning glories and made them droop downward...
...which forced it out from the shadows!
Almost got it!
It managed to escape in a nearby shadow.
But if I can find a way to drag it away from the shadows...
...I should be able to beat it.
Wh-What was...
What was that Stand?!
If it wasn't obvious, we're under attack.
The old man who lit the lighter was killed.
Because you and I witnessed it...
...we've become the targets of that thing's attack.
That's not what I meant.
That arrow... It's from the Bow and Arrow!
I can't believe there's one in Italy, too...
What are you doing, Giorno Giovanna?!
Are you the reason another Stand with the arrow appeared?!
It would take me too long to explain...
But I swear I know nothing about it.
Do you know anything about this Stand?
Or about the arrow?
Why did you save me?
Please just answer me about the arrow!
The sun is about to set!
Why did you save me?!
I don't owe anything to a thief like you!
My actions were what led to the lighter being relit.
I couldn't do anything to help that old man.
I feel devastated by it...
I truly believe I did the right thing, but I feel disgusted with myself.
Yet in spite of that...
I, Giorno Giovanna, have a righteous dream I believe in!
Two years ago, I was struck by an arrow like that one and gained my Stand ability.
If you're struck by the arrow and an ability doesn't awaken from within you, you die.
Awaken from within you?
That's it!
That's what it meant when it said "one of the chosen"!
One whose Stand awakened!
That must be the motive behind Polpo's test!
I don't know the origin of the arrow...
...but I've encountered this same type of Stand once before.
It's a long-range, remote controlled type Stand!
Long-range and remote controlled?
It can only do predetermined, simple actions, but...
...it won't stop attacking until it's done what it was instructed.
Our best option is to find its user and take them down.
Unfortunately, that's impossible.
Its user is inside of a prison cell.
Anyway...
It can't leave the shadow of the school building right now, so let's circle around to the side with the sun while we still can.
Once we're there, before the sun completely sets...
...we'll lure it into the shadow of a moving object...
...then quickly get rid of it.
That will force it into direct sunlight.
Got it!
I-It's gone!
I have you!
Wh-What?!
You witnessed the lighter being relit, did you not?
The crows!
It left the shadow of the school building by hiding in the shadows of those flying crows!
Th-Thats...
Pointless!
N-No!
It really is faster and stronger in the shadows!
Act 3! 3 Freeze!
My Echoes Act 3 has the ability to make Stands and other things heavier!
I have made both of its hands heavier...
...so that it will not be able to lift even a finger from the ground.
Its fingers should give at any second!
I made both of its hands heavier!
It shouldn't be able to bend its fingers anymore!
I-It's so strong...
It's determined to hold onto me no matter what!
Two paths lie before you.
I-It's no use!
Any damage inflicted on a Stand goes right back to its user!
If this keeps up, Giorno's legs are gonna shatter!
Act 3! Undo 3 Freeze...
No.
Don't do that, Koichi.
Your ability to make things heavier... Don't you dare undo it.
This is what I needed.
This ability you've brought with you is just what I needed!
But your leg's gonna break!
Wh-What?
That tree...
Gold Experience has the ability to continuously imbue objects with life, so it made the tree live a full life until it withered.
Ability?
But that tree is at least ten meters away...
Did you dig up a hole to touch the tree's roots?
Y-You did it! The shadow is gone!
You dragged it out into the sunlight!
You said two paths lay before me...
...but for you, there is but one choice.
Excuse me Koichi, but could you move a bit to the right?
Huh? Like this?
Muda Muda Muda Muda!
Bask in the sunlight!
That's the only choice you have!
Your one and only path.
After this, I wonder if I'll still be allowed to join the gang.
What to do...
That arrow...
The fact that there's an arrow in Italy means there will be even more victims!
I need to tell Mr. Jotaro as soon as possible!
Wh-What are you doing?
Did you just say there will be more?
Polpo's Stand had the arrow, and we defeated it.
You saw it yourself.
Defeated? You couldn't be more wrong!
I'll admit we managed to escape its attacks thanks to you...
...but the only reason it stopped was because it was forced into the sunlight.
The user wasn't hurt at all! They're fine!
So Polpo is still alive?
Not only is he still alive, but we probably didn't even hurt him since he has a long-ranged remote controlled Stand.
I doubt he even knows there was a battle here.
What?!
So he really doesn't know what happened?
He doesn't know I'm a Stand user?
You ask too many questions!
If anything, he only would have noticed his hands getting heavier...
...but there's no way he could have figured out that you and I are already Stand users.
So excuse me, but can you please move your finger?
I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to make that call.
I'm begging you...
This isn't about a single enemy. He's part of an organization.
If you tell someone, the organization may find out.
Enemy?
Organization?
You're the only person I'll speak of this to, Koichi.
Someone gifted me a special-order pizza.
Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's see, your name is...
Giorno... Giorno, uh...
Giorno Giovanna.
Ah, yes. My apologies.
I tend to space out while I eat.
I think all the blood in my body rushes to my stomach.
This may seem like an odd question, but are you a man of faith, Giorno?
Well... I wouldn't say I'm particularly devout.
What I'm about to tell you may go against God's word...
...but I would appreciate it if you listened to me.
If the most important thing in the world is trustworthiness...
...the most despicable thing one can do is abuse that trust.
Hear me well. To abuse one's trust...
...not only harms your reputation, but causes you to adopt a lifestyle that will push you into a corner from which you will never escape.
We never fight others and risk our lives over money, power, or even something as simple as having your seat taken at the theater or on a bus.
Fighting is truly a fool's game. Only idiots bother with it.
However...
I would risk my life if my trust were abused.
I believe that in such a case, God forgives even murder.
Never forget that.
Congratulations! I'm permitting you to enter our organization!
Since you brought me back the lit lighter as I trusted you would...
...you pass.
This is the badge of our organization, Passione.
It's proof that you passed.
For now, you're to operate under Buccellati's orders.
How about it? Why don't we celebrate your...
Did that kid really protect the flame for twenty-four hours?
Or did he relight it and become a Stand user?
Either way, it's fine.
Young, clueless guys like him are easy to manipulate.
Regardless of the outcome, we can use him as we please.
Oh?
I could have sworn I closed that...
The blood really does flow to my stomach after I've eaten...
You encountered him again?
I'm sorry, Mr. Jotaro...
But I can't help but feel that Giorno Giovanna isn't as dangerous as you think he is.
Why do you say that?
Well...
Well, I'll tell you in person.
Is that okay?
All right.
If that's what you want to do, it's fine.
I'll be waiting.
Thank you.
I'll talk to you later.
Mr. Jotaro, before, I really wondered...
...can this Giorno kid really think this way?
Is he sane?
But I can feel it...
I feel that he has a righteous heart.
I can tell...
...since I watched those three men who carried the blood of the Joestar family in their veins back in Morioh.
The three of them emanate righteousness from their hearts as if it gave them energy.
I could see it in his eyes when I first met him.
Without a doubt, the blood that flows through his veins carries the will of the Joestars.
So for now, to respect his wishes, I'm going to shut away what he told me inside my heart...
That golden dream which Giorno Giovanna possesses.
Anyway, it's time I go do some sightseeing!
Come with me, Giorno Giovanna.
What was that noise?
Well, whatever.
When someone abuses your trust, even murder is forgivable?
I see. What you've told me is important.
You abused that innocent old man's life...
...so I changed one of your guns into a banana.
I hope you savor your last meal.
So... Where are we going?
To meet my team.
They're all Stand users.

Fighting Gold
A heavy stone of fate
which has chained up my dreams
is threatening to crush me
Struggle as I may,
there's nowhere left to run
But I'll never give in
Though fragments of hope lie buried beneath the rubble
I swear I'll dig them up with my own two hands
in order to make a difference in this world
Only those who believe in the path they take
will one day shine brightly
As long as they live,
they will stand against the gods
and battle on
with their indomitable souls
Every time I close my eyes
I wake up feeling so horny
I can't get you outta my mind
Cause sexin' you be all I see
I would give anything
Just to make you understand me
I don't give a damn about nothing else
Freek'n you is all I need
Tonight, I need your body (I need your body)
Tonight, you got my time (oh get it baby)
Tonight you won't be sorry (yeah)
Tonight, you got my mind
You got my mind, all I wanna do is freak you
What must I say (oh tell me)
What must I do (what must I do?)
To show how much
I think about freek'n you (feel it)
What must I say
What must I do (yeah, yeah)
To show how much
I think about freek'n you
