Giorno Giovanna

Like other protagonists in the series, Giorno was designed to symbolize the part's story and setting and to stand out among the previous protagonists in terms of appearance, clothing, and silhouette.{{cite web |url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2017-06-29/interview-jojo-bizarre-adventure-creator-hirohiko-araki/.118032 |title=Interview: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Creator Hirohiko Araki |last1=Mitchem |first1=Casey Lee |last2=Silverman |first2=Rebecca |date=2017-06-29 |website=Anime News Network |access-date=2017-09-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170708115039/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2017-06-29/interview-jojo-bizarre-adventure-creator-hirohiko-araki/.118032 |archive-date=2017-07-08 |url-status=live}} Araki finds it difficult on deciding who to choose as the next protagonist. Since the tactic of someone being Joseph Joestar's illegitimate son has already been used on Josuke Higashikata, he decided for Giorno to be the son of Dio who happens to have a blood of a Joestar. He also tried to portray the character differently as he doesn't want him to be too similar to Jotaro Kujo. There were also issues with what to do with the possibility of vampirism on the character, but it had been abandoned in the end. Araki's editor at the time, Hiroshi Sekiya, thought that Araki originally intended for Giorno to be a woman due to their discussion and how Giorno is created.{{cite book |last=Araki |first=Hirohiko |date=September 19, 2013 |title=JOJOVELLER Book 3 |language=ja |location=Japan |publisher=Shueisha |pages=69–70| isbn=978-4089081853}}

Araki thought that in addition to being a good person, the protagonist needs to be a hero as well – which he thought would require the character to solve problems alone through their own abilities; although the Bucciarati gang has a unified goal, they were depicted as standing on their own when fighting, and as a group of outcasts rather than a leader and his followers.{{cite book |last=Araki |first=Hirohiko |author-link=Hirohiko Araki |translator-last=Collins |translator-first=Nathan A. |date=2017 |title=Manga in Theory and Practice: The Craft of Creating Manga |publisher=Viz Media |page=57 |isbn=978-1-4215-9407-1}} Araki sees that writing for the team becomes a challenge and as the story progresses, they all become the protagonists rather than Giorno on his own.{{cite book |last=Araki |first=Hirohiko |date=February 25, 2000 |title=JOJO A-GO!GO!

Some critics praised Giorno's ties to both Dio and the Joestar family and his sense of justice despite the vicious side of his personality. Steven Blackburn of Screen Rant praises Golden Wind for making the decision of Giorno of being Dio's son with Joestar blood, as it presents an interesting narrative and how it is in conflict with the Joestars in the early chapters. The reviewer also highlights how Giorno is the only son of Dio's that has an entire part centered around him and that his heroism "serves as a stunning rebuke of Dio's legacy".{{Cite web |last=Blackburn |first=Steven |date=August 5, 2021 |title=Why Golden Wind Is So Important In Jojo's Bizarre Adventure |url=https://screenrant.com/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-manga-important-arc/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221217155226/https://screenrant.com/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-manga-important-arc/ |archive-date=December 17, 2022 |access-date=January 15, 2023 |website=Screen Rant |language=en}} Jordan Richards of AIPT Comics considers Giorno to be interesting and compelling due to his relation with Dio, his abusive childhood, and how his life-changing of saving a mafia member changes him. The reviewer also notes that while his introduction made him come off as a jerk, his attitude when protecting innocents shows his nobility and appreciates him to be different from the past protagonists.{{Cite web |last=Richards |first=Jordan |date=August 3, 2021 |title='Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Vol. 1' review |url=https://aiptcomics.com/2021/08/03/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-vol-1-review/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221217155226/https://aiptcomics.com/2021/08/03/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-vol-1-review/ |archive-date=December 17, 2022 |access-date=January 15, 2023 |website=AIPT Comics |language=en}} Jenni Lada of Siliconera lauds the first volume of how Giorno is being investigated by Jotaro Kujo and Koichi Hirose provides an interesting premise and that his childhood and heroic, yet criminal qualities make him worth rooting for.{{Cite web |last=Lada |first=Jenny |date=August 29, 2021 |title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Manga is Refreshing |url=https://www.siliconera.com/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-manga-is-refreshing/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220930004735/https://www.siliconera.com/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-manga-is-refreshing/ |archive-date=September 30, 2022 |access-date=January 15, 2023 |website=Siliconera |language=en}} Spencer Legacy of Noisy Pixel appreciates how in comparison of Golden Wind 's past fan translations, the official English-translated manga makes him feel more authentic and how he is "much more passionate and memorable here, making him a character worth following".{{Cite web |last=Legacy |first=Spencer |date=August 24, 2021 |title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 5 Golden Wind Vol. 1 Review – Feel the Passione|url=https://noisypixel.net/jojos-bizarre-adventure-part-5-golden-wind-vol-1-review-manga/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221128013252/https://noisypixel.net/jojos-bizarre-adventure-part-5-golden-wind-vol-1-review-manga/ |archive-date=November 28, 2022 |access-date=January 15, 2023 |website=Anime News Network |language=en}} Natasha H. of IGN considers Giorno to be the heart and soul of the story, thinking that he has the best traits of each previous Joestar and him being the son of Dio provides a great contrast.

Other critics dislike Giorno's characterization, specifically as Golden Wind reaches its finale. Sam Leach of Anime News Network feels that Giorno isn't deserving of his new position as the boss of Passione as the reviewer wants the character to show a little more charisma, resulting in the reviewer believing that it doesn't hold as much importance as Diavolo's defeat. Moreover, the reviewer felt that in comparison to the characters seen in the part who feel more engaging, Giorno doesn't hold the same emotional attachment and how his and Diavolo's "legendary battle between obvious good and obvious evil isn't developed enough to serve as a counterbalance to the rest of the cast".{{Cite web |last=Leach |first=Sam |date=August 2, 2019 |title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Episodes 38-39|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind/episodes-38-39/.149546 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122150317/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind/episodes-38-39/.149546 |archive-date=November 22, 2021 |access-date=January 15, 2023 |website=Anime News Network |language=en}} Sakaki of Toonami Faithful feels Giorno is a "Jo-bro" of his own part, as the reviewer finds the other characters to be more interesting than him.{{cite web|date=August 1, 2020|last=Sakaki|title=When the adventure gets a step too Bizarre: A JoJo: Golden Wind editorial|url=https://toonamifaithful.com/when-the-adventure-gets-a-step-too-bizarre-a-jojo-golden-wind-editorial/|url-status=live|archive-date=July 9, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220709021430/https://toonamifaithful.com/when-the-adventure-gets-a-step-too-bizarre-a-jojo-golden-wind-editorial/|language=en |website=Toonami Faithful}} Reverse Thieves sees Giorno as boring that the reviewer feels Bucciarati is more of a protagonist, citing that Giorno barely gets the time to shine in spite of his backstory, appearance, and ambitions, how he ends up falling flat as a character, and feeling like a plot device providing more as an observer. The reviewer also criticizes his Stand for being complicated whose abilities don't unify as a single power in comparison to Star Platinum and Crazy Diamond's being straightforward and Araki not utilizing some of the cited power-ups.{{cite web|date=February 18, 2019 |title=WHO IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF GOLDEN WIND? |url=https://reversethieves.com/2019/02/18/who-is-the-main-character-of-golden-wind/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220928024933/https://reversethieves.com/2019/02/18/who-is-the-main-character-of-golden-wind/|archive-date=September 28, 2022|website=Reverse Thieves|language=en}} Surreal Resolution thinks that Giorno's characterization doesn't feel realized, with his familial baggage not being touched upon throughout the story and how wasted it is that Polnareff couldn't provide any insight on the character due to their connection with Dio.{{cite web|last=Robert |date=August 1, 2020 |title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind – Episodes 38-39 (Finale) |url=https://www.surrealresolution.com/index.php/2019/08/25/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-episodes-38-39-finale/ |url-status=live|archive-date=January 25, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220125231226/https://www.surrealresolution.com/index.php/2019/08/25/jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-episodes-38-39-finale/ |language=en |website=Surreal Resolution}}

Critics praised the beatdown against Cioccolata which is seen as a famous and anticipated fight amongst the fandom.
