==Summary==
Giorno Giovanna is the illegitimate son of Dio Brando in Jonathan Joestar's body, and is the fifth "JoJo" in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and the main protagonist of Part V: Vento Aureo. Born in Japan as Haruno Shiobana, he moves with his mother to Italy when she marries his new stepfather. Years later, in 2001, he is encountered by Koichi Hirose after he had been informed by Jotaro Kujo that he is DIO's son. His intentions reveal that he wants to become a "Gang-Star" and later become the Boss of Neopolitan Gang Passione. After fighting Bruno Bucciarati and passing Polpo's trial, he joins the Gang, becomes involved in a week-long mission of protecting Trish Una, and then aids Bruno in betraying the Gang and to assassinate the Boss of Passione.
In the showdown with the Boss, he acquires the Requiem Arrow and upgrades his Stand from Gold Experience to Gold Experience Requiem.

*Life and Soul Sensing (Can manually sense nearby life energyJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 94)

|-|Gold Experience Requiem=
All previous abilities to a greater extent (It's stated in JoJo A-Go!Go!JoJo A-Go!Go!: Gold Experience Requiem Page 2 that the abilities of Gold Experience have evolved. GER also utilized his 'Life Giver' ability on debris without direct contact,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 147 something that Gold Experience required for his abilities to work.); 
*Causality Manipulation (Reverts actionsJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 149 (in-between Stand stats) moment by moment to where they started,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 147JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 148 with those actions otherwise creating a future that is guaranteed to occur;JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 116 Said guaranteed future to occur is, in turn, a reality that "none who stand before" GER will ever arrive to, without Giorno himself being aware of it.JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 148 Those who are struck by its power will have their deaths revertedJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 149 and die an infinite number of timesJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 149 (in-between Stand stats))
*Power Nullification (No one who stands before GER will arrive at the reality that will occur, no matter what abilities they may wield.JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 148 Directly stated in the JoJoveller guidebook that GER negated all of King Crimson's abilities JoJoveller Page 143 - Gold Experience Requiem (Battle Record))
*Empathic Manipulation (The strength of an attacker's will is reverted to zero.JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 149 (in-between Stand stats)) 
*Energy Projection (Flicked a pebble imbued with life energy at Diavolo,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 147 with both the manga and the anime portraying this as an energy-like beam with extreme velocityJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Episode 37 with the energy later turning the debris into scorpions) 
*Telekinesis (GER is shown levitating in the sky when it first appeared along with Giorno himself.JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 147 GER is shown pointing at a pebble, lifting it up, and firing it at Diavolo, all without ever making physical contact with it.JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Episode 37) 
*Enhanced Senses (Upscales greatly from Gold Experience's precision capabilities. May also upscale from Star Platinum, as GER is ranked 'None' for precisionJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 149 (in-between Stand stats)) 
*Possibly Pain Amplification (Diavolo described the pain he felt in certain areas of the death loop as 'beyond all imagination'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 149 as well as being unable to stand and was in complete agony after being stabbed,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 149 despite him before being completely unfazed when his arm was sliced up by Sliver ChariotJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 131 in addition to having superhuman stamina) 
</tabber>
Attack Potency: Street level (Narancia jumped this high while he was in Giorno's bodyJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Episode 37); Building level with Gold Experience (Was able to damage Black Sabbath,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 13 Echoes ACT3,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 14 who in turn was able to take hits from Killer Queen. Weaker than, but can still contend with Sticky Fingers,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 6 who staggered King CrimsonJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 81JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 82), can ignore durability with most abilities | Street level; at least Large Building level+, likely far higher with Gold Experience Requiem (Virtually invincible in JoJo, not having any of its stats measured, while Stands like The World and Star Platinum - the later being called the strongest Stand in the world -, can have their stats measured. Said to exceed all existing Stands in attack power,JoJo A-Go!Go!: Gold Experience Requiem Page 2 which puts it above all Stands, including Red Hot Chili Pepper while powered by Morioh's energy. Diavolo thought it to be a power-up and described Gold Experience to be able to attack with incredible power,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 147 could effortlessly pierce King Crimson's hand and completely dismantled it)
Speed: Peak Human, with at most Massively FTL reactions (Tore off his own arm to counter Sticky Fingers.JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 8 Dodged a strike from Black Sabbath outside of the shadeJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 12 as well as a grab. Moved his body in order to get struck by Aerosmith.JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 89 Activated his ability on a bullet kicked by Sex PistolsJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 122); at most Massively FTL with Gold Experience (Despite being a bit slower than Sticky Fingers, Gold Experience was able to not only have a fist fight with him, reacting and matching his attacks, but also intercept one of his attacks) | Peak Human, with at most Massively FTL reactions; at least Massively FTL, likely far higher with Gold Experience Requiem (Is the evolved form of Gold Experience, keeping its powers and powering up its stats. While near Diavolo and in his sight, managed to break free of its Gold Experience "shell" and move to another location without being noticed before King Crimson could finish it off. Flicked a pebble at such speeds that Diavolo couldn't perceive the attack, barely managing to avoid the brunt of it.JoJoveller: Gold Experience Requiem Page 2 Mista claimed he couldn't really see or understandJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 149 what Giorno did to Diavolo in reference to the beatdown that defeated him, if maybe in part), Infinite for its Return to Zero (Ranked "None" in Speed on its Stand stats,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 149 (in-between Stand stats) those being referenced in the JOJO-A-GO!GO! guidebook as it stated that its ability "is impossible to compare with the existing Stand(s) and measuring rod(s)";JoJo A-Go!Go!: Gold Experience Requiem Page 1 By comparison, Notorious B.I.G. and Made in Heaven are ranked "∞" on their speed, with the latter having briefly been able to achieve infinite speed [See note 4 below])
Lifting Strength: Peak Human; Unknown with Gold Experience | Peak Human; Unknown with Gold Experience Requiem
Striking Strength: Street level; Building level with Gold Experience | Street level; at least Large Building level+, likely far higher with Gold Experience Requiem (Exceed all Stands in every single aspect and stats in JoJo, which includes strength)
Durability: Street level (Has consistently been in brutal car crashes,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 119JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 71 should be comparable to his attack potency), possibly Small Building level (Managed to survive a direct blowJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 121 from Green Day, albeit with major damageJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 123); Building level with Gold Experience | Street level, possibly Small Building level; at least Large Building level+, likely far higher with Gold Experience Requiem (Drastically above his previous state. More durable than any other Stand in JoJo, which includes the likes of Sheer Heart Attack, since his stats can't be measured on the Stand stats)
Stamina: Superhuman (Tore off his own arm to gain an advantage in his fight against BrunoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 8 and later on killed Cioccolata with a ridiculously large amount of melee barragesJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 123 despite sustaining very serious injuriesJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 123)
Range: Standard Melee Range physically (Gold Experience has an effective manifestation range of up to 2 metersJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 7JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 123), Tens of Meters via Life Sensing (Couldn't feel any life energy in a planeJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 94), Gold Experience's organisms have an effective range of Hundreds of Kilometers (Created a snake 12.5km from Venezia and attacked Melone with itJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 68 from this distanceJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 64JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 68) | Standard Melee Range physically; at least Low Multiversal for Gold Experience Requiem (Could capture Diavolo in a cycle of infinite deaths across what seem to be parallel worlds)
Standard Equipment: Gold Experience, Ladybug Brooches | Gold Experience Requiem, the Requiem Stand Arrow
*Optional Equipment: Coco Jumbo
Intelligence: Genius (A very competent analyzer of the situations around him, and a skilled tactician and leader. Giorno is always calm and analyzes foes, friends, passersby and the environment around to have a read on situations. He can speculate or make deductions of what is not shown in plain sight, or just detect traps, abnormalities, and weaknesses. He has used this mid-combat to set up traps to give himself an idea of what his foes were doing and what they would do, silently acting in response. Fugo, who has genius level intellect, has made multipleJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 46 accountsJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 63 of the impressive way Giorno thinks and acts. It is noteworthy that a part of the downsides he perceives in foes are due to Stands having specific gimmicks that, although powerful, are not perfect and may have some feature that can be exploited to overcome them, which is still impressive for him to deduct. Some of these complicated stand abilities that he figured out are Illuso's and Melone'sJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 64JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 65 stand abilities. He also figured out that Diavolo was possessing one of the team with limited information.JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 141 He can creatively maneuver around a variety of diverse situations by using the many options given by the abilities of his Stand, or by instructing his partners to use their powers properly. He took over the powerful mafia known as Passione after killing its leader, which requires dealing with a number of managements, and aiming to end its selling of drugs)
Weaknesses: Any damage taken by Gold Experience will be reflected on Giorno. Gold Experience needs to hit an object to transform something. Its healing ability is not meant to heal and is rather painful when used that way. It requires a sufficient amount of heat to create the most life | Any damage taken by GER will reflect onto Giorno

'''
*Gold Experience: Gold Experience is a yellow, humanoid Stand with green ladybug-themed decor scattered across various parts of its body. It uses melee attacks, but could also attack with lifeforms it creates.
**Life Creation: Anything Giorno or Gold Experience touches that is abiotic will be able to become a life form of Giorno's choosing. Said organisms birthed can be preset to have advantages an evolved organism would have (i.e., immunity to a virus or life sensory), and Giorno commands any of their possible actions. If he gives life to an object inside a person, then he can even spawn animals inside people.
***Life Preservation: Anything that was created into a living organism, once created, will never be able to be harmed. Any attempts or damage meant to connect with an object modified by Gold Experience will reflect at the person or object attacking it and damage them, possibly killing/destroying them.
***Organ Creation: Gold Experience can turn inanimate objects into pieces of a human body or organ that can replace any damaged or removed ones from Giorno or anyone else he wishes to help. This can be seen as a special form of "healing", but the process of replacing said organs is described as complicated and painful.
**Life Giving: Anything that is already living that is punched or touched by Gold Experience will get a boosted amount of life. On humans, their thought processing accelerates to the point of them not being able to "correlate correctly" between body and mind. Senses are amplified and feel prolonged during this time (i.e., the duration of feeling pain would seem to increase, but in reality, it is normal).

*Gold Experience Requiem: GER is a yellow humanoid Stand that is an upgraded form of Gold Experience. Its key feature is the head of the Stand Arrow placed on its forehead. It uses melee attacks and seems to have a voice and personality of its own. It can operate outside of Giorno's consciousness, and still retains the original abilities of Gold Experience.
**Return to Zero: GER can take the entirety of something and revert it to a previous state. This includes any action the target takes and leaves GER unaffected by it (i.e., Giorno would be affected by time stop, but GER would not). This puts anything it affects in a constant loop of being put back to zero depending on what GER has done to the target. If GER was to kill a target, they would be constantly put in an infinite loop of deaths,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 149 (in-between Stand stats) each one varying from the next.JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Chapter 149 The ability can be described as taking the "effect" out of "cause and effect".
Note: For a better understanding of Gold Experience Requiem's ability, see this blog here.
Note 2: It is unknown whether Giorno's stand lost its Requiem form or not when the Stand arrow fell off after the fight with Diavolo.
Note 3: There are canon statements that Gold Experience Requiem can reset will to zero. However, the exact meaning, capabilities, mechanics, and all other details are unknown due to lacking context and the ability having never been used canonically.
Note 4: On regards to the speed of GER's Return to Zero;
*Stand stats mostly refer to a Stand's general abilities instead of its physicality, hence the JOJO-A-GO!-GO! refers to the board as GER's ability being what can't be compared. This is why specific physical stats are sometimes portrayed as abilities Stands have despite how they only have "one ability"/power each.
*Notorious B.I.G. and Made in Heaven don't simply have infinite speed, at least the latter can achieve it under some conditions met while the former can potentially do the same. GER upscales to their maximum speed as Notorious B.I.G. and Made in Heaven's stats portray that as their rank instead their others lesser speeds shown.
*The Return to Zero working within Time Erase doesn't qualify as a feat of infinite speed (See note 4 in the Speed page), but the fact that it did so despite only Diavolo being able to act there supports the idea of GER's ability having a superiority over that of other Stands.
