## Reasons for popularity

**Giorno Giovanna x Guido Mista relies on a Deep Trust type of bond** given the character development both provoke in each other that also leads their survival throughout the plot dangers. A possible analysis in the canon elements and information given by the manga author, Hirohiko Araki, revolves around four pillars.

1. **Singularity:**

Before thinking about the characters together, let's consider Giorno and Mista separately. Thus, we will see what they have in common, what differentiate them, and why the dynamics between these personalities seem so interesting.

1.1 *Giorno before the Gang Adventures:*

Giorno is a man with a horizon of expectation. It was already pointed out by many fans that, unlike the previous Joestars, Giorno is a protagonist who acts instead of reacting. Because he has a plan, a dream, a goal, a perspective to achieve, it is precisely the reason why the story happens. No Giorno, no interaction with Buccellati, no Polpo murder, no gang betrayal, no structural changes within Passione. Trish would probably be dead and La Squadra di Esecuzioni would either be still hiding or would be facing the Boss’ trusted soldiers and would probably also end up seriously injured and killed. Giorno still does not know exactly how he will manage to take care of the gang's business or how he will manage to overthrow the Boss until then, but he understands that the first step is to join this gang. By the time Giorno finds the opportunity to join this organization in Buccellati, he is already a crook who makes money from illegal taxi, theft, and other minor offenses. We know little of Giorno's life when he is fifteen years old beyond his family's horrible and genuinely unloving past, but we do know that he studies at a good school and has an average student life, with classmates who seem to be interested in his student persona: beautiful, intelligent and calm. We can see that Giorno has a dorm at the school, implying that he no longer spends so much time at his mother's and stepfather's house, giving him time between classes for his practices as a minor offender. We don't know how this school is paid, whether Giorno is a scholarship holder or anything, but we do know that this demonstrates how Giorno has an intellectual level compatible with a good school and that he is living a life almost independent of his family. He is attractive and high school girls seem to form a fan club around him in the cafe when Koichi catches sight of him and he politely asks to be left alone. As he takes the Polpo’s lighter test, we see that people on campus, both students and school staff, ask for Giorno's help, which, at that moment, he refuses, to their surprise, implying that Giorno has a reputation for being considerate and helpful (when not focused on getting into the mafia). He is calm, polite, well-behaved, and charismatic with the people around him, but at the end of the day, no one is really close to him. Introverted at heart, Giorno is a man of planning, vision, intuition, analytical judgment, and calculated sociability. In his past, as we know, he did not become a purely cynical person like the others around him for the gesture of gratitude of the mysterious mobster he helped to cover up. This man became his hero, his symbol of justice, and so it is that Giorno starts to focus on the system's flaws as the system itself and the gap for his moving action.

1.2 *Mista before the Gang Adventures*

Guido Mista is, at first, the plain opposite to Giorno. His expectations? To there be a sun, to there be a meal, to there be another day to enjoy. It is not uncommon for the fandom to see his character as a simple-minded man, without ambitions or studying much less intelligence and who lives from random decisions - being carried by the wind. However, if we look at what the manga brings about Mista's past and think about the relationships of this past with his previous interactions with the actual entry into the gang, we will see that the thing is not quite so. The first scene in which we see Mista, he is presented talking about his paranoia in relation to the number 4 and his facial expressions deserve an honorable mention in the comic relief item. We should also stick to the fact that before Mista had his 'paranoia attack' moment on the four pieces of cake, he was calmly reading a book, with proper table manners, and as soon as the number 4 argument passed (thanks to Narancia’s Math problems), Mista again behaved like a perfect gentleman, talking almost politely with Abbacchio. Yes, Mista has a phobia, yes, he is superstitious, yes, it is funny for a gangster, yet, the number 4 evokes an instinct inside the boy, but does not immobilize him. Mista is always alert to the plot of Destiny, but he is not a simple victim of it. As for superstition, we see that it has an intrinsic relationship with the philosophical sense that Mista chooses to live. We don't know anything about Mista's family - all we know is that as a teenager he lived alone, got into trouble when he needed extra money, and liked to enjoy the moment. Now, what teenager doesn't like to just enjoy the pleasures of life? We don't see Mista in a street gang, nor do we see him at school. We know that he reads a lot and likes movies and music, so we can assume that these hobbies he cultivated alone or accompanied - it doesn't matter for him as long as he is enjoying the moment. Certainly, he went to school, so he has trivial knowledge. His proper manners also indicate that he had some sort of education beyond schooling. Mista is also shown as an incredibly friendly and handsome boy, who certainly knows how to socialize and also feels comfortable being alone. He assumes that sometimes he will be beaten on the street, and sometimes he will emerge victorious from fighting, but he never assumes that he will suffer irreversible wounds or that he will be missing a plate of food. Because Guido Mista improvises - he uses all his knowledge and sociability tactics to get money and guarantee his interests. Where have we seen this? Oh yes, another teenager also eventually used his technical and charismatic skills to guarantee the necessary lire! We don't know what Mista was taught to have a code of justice, but he does have one. Here we have an important difference between Mista and Giorno in addition to the apparent extroversion: much more like the traditional protagonist of shounen, Mista's body followed the instinct to save the woman who would be the victim of rape by the gang of thugs in the street in a ‘heroic way’, while what Giorno/Haruno did was choosing to hide information from criminals, entering the lying play game. Like his movie idol Clint Eastwood, Mista is a lone cowboy, going from town to town, without family, without roots, ready to shoot the bandit and blow the smoke out of the barrel of the revolver (figuratively and later literally), and promptly continue wandering to the next stop. Maybe that's why we don't know about his past in depth. When you have no past or future, you live only in the present.

1.3 *Conclusion about their previous personalities:*

Giorno and Mista are complementary in some aspects and supplementary in others. Giorno is much more introverted, calculates from a grand plan, decides silently and gradually, distrusts everyone, and believes in using a systemic flaw to manage the system to whatever interests him. Mista is more sociable with great interpersonal intelligence, impressive versatility, an anti-hero moral code, and flowing between the layers of human misery. It is like having the sky and Earth, but they are not incompatible: both lived solitary, uncertain lives, depending on trickery and the devices of sociability to guarantee their survival, without support from families, without the feeling of belonging, without a grounding past, without belief in the future that society promised to them. **If Giorno had never met Mista, he would have been at least defeated before meeting the Boss, both in battle and in his own heart. If Mista had never met Giorno, he would remain a lone rider, as he would never have found a vision for the future.**

2. **Balance:**

Once Giorno joins the gang, we have a series of small moments in which we can observe how the first interactions between Giorno and Mista take place. These interactions are important to understand how Giorno and Mista become a team and, subsequently, de facto partners.

2.1 *Giorno meets the Gang*

When Giorno is introduced at the restaurant table to the gang, everyone stops for a moment to look at Giorno and then proceed to act as if nothing has happened. It is interesting to note the expressions of each one - Abbacchio, Mista, Fugo, and Narancia: Abbacchio is served tea to himself and turns his face provocatively to him, Narancia and Fugo stop their fight of knives and forks in fist with intimidating looks, and Mista is setting his arm behind the chair, with a face of surprise and literally has two (!!) in his speech bubble. What could be so surprising? Giorno realizes, at that moment, that he would have to win over the others on the team. The newcomer enters the challenge proposed by Abbacchio, conscious of using his powers still hidden to get around the situation, while Mista and the others get excited at the moment of the improvised prank by his colleague. After Giorno 'consumed' all the 'tea' in the cup, Mista is the first to throw his whole body over the table to laugh and question Giorno about the trick, followed by Narancia and an incredulous Fugo. **Mista is still analyzing the rookie, but Giorno did a good job of being surprising.**

2.2 *Giorno on a boat*

As a mafia recruit, the first mission that Giorno takes part in is in the search for Polpo's treasure that, surprise surprise, Giorno himself murdered and from this, it was possible for Buccellati to go after this fortune to acquire the status of a capo. It is interesting to observe how each of the others is distracted by some hobby (Narancia with music, Mista with the magazine, and Fugo with a book). If they don't interact with Giorno right now, they also don't need to interact with each other. They are on a mission, after all. The Soft Machine attack follows, in which Giorno takes a chance to give Abbacchio and Buccellati a chance to understand how the enemy Stand works. When the gang is safe and discussing the situation below, we have two interesting moments: the first is Zucchero's torture. Mista is the one who takes the lead, sadistically. Here we see how Mista is serious about his job as a gangster. Giorno, for his part, is not shaken for a second by the beating, just interested in knowing the identity and origin of the other mobster. As we see, neither of them are “good boys” or “enacting justice”, they are simply following the rules of the criminal environment. Giorno observes how the other gangsters behave and adjusts his demeanor to fit in. The other moment is when Giorno takes the lead to reveal his plan to find Zucchero's partner, a plan promptly put to doubt by Abbacchio and Narancia, but supported by Mista. **He is not just relying on Giorno with an open chest, we know that is not the case. Mista is not "a noble-hearted boy". He notes that Giorno was the key to enabling Abbacchio and Buccellati counterattack against Soft Machine and, in addition, Mista is interested in Giorno's skills and potential as a gangster.** Mista is, in the gang, the best example of an old school gangster.

2.3 *Giorno and Mista at Capri Island*

This is a key moment in the relationship between the two. Mista follows Giorno's idea of ​​surfing on a fish to reach the island faster than the gang's boat and capture the other enemy. The fight between Sale and Mista focuses on understanding Mista's skills, but what matters most is what happens before and after. When they arrive on the island, Giorno's first concern is to formulate an efficient plan in the shortest possible time. It is also interesting to note that Giorno initially calls Mista 'Mista-san', as they are still getting to know each other and Giorno is still looking for an approach. Mista, on the other hand, is interested in welcoming the newcomer in his own fashion: in a funny way, we have the scene in which Giorno gawks at Mista setting up a table for lunch. Giorno is clearly disconcerted, as he relies on Mista's experience to successfully follow the ambush. Mista, in turn, introduces his Stand, in complete opposition to the others who were trying to hide their skills from the newbie. **Again, Mista does not do this because he is "cool", but because he saw that Giorno has the competence and potential and he is more concerned with forming a good partnership for the mission in question.** Mista shows how he believes in teamwork. Despite the unforeseen change in the plan that kept the two apart and had Mista ending up fighting alone, showing how efficient he is in independent missions, Mista does not blame Giorno for any of this. Giorno, on the other hand, feels a failure, and his nervousness is evident when he is rude to the truck driver with whom he interacts to request a ride. Here we have already seen how Mista values ​​teamwork and how Giorno values ​​planning. After Sale was defeated and Buccellati revealed the treasure's location, with Pericolo's immediate visit, Buccellati's promotion to capo, and delivery of the gang's newest mission, Mista has a moment of consideration regarding the course of events. **He associates the group's 'luck wave' with Buccellati's charisma and hard work, but also with Giorno's joining the team. The ironic thing is that Mista is completely correct: it is because of Giorno having murdered Polpo that Buccellati had such a chance so quickly.** Crazy intuition? If we still consider what happens in the ending arc of the manga and the relationship between Mista and Fate, it sounds almost like the voice of a Greek oracle. **Rationally, Mista is considering how Giorno has the potential, ability and faculty to open doors. What Giorno saw as a failure on Capri, Mista saw as an important partner for the team.**

2.4. *Giorno and Mista starring Initial D on Ice*

Here the partnership between Giorno and Mista is solidified. The White Album arc is basically about the relationship between the two with both Mista in the sense of finally finding a vision of the future that he never had before, and Giorno who starts to see his goal in the mafia from a new perspective. Basically, we have three moments along the arc: Giorno and Mista attempt to combo, the consolidation of the sense of resolve, and the promise of a path to the future.

a) Giorno and Mista in the car: Fugo was there too (but just entered Mr. President because...sleep?). It is a smooth journey until the boys realize that they are under enemy attack, and until that moment, the atmosphere between the two is mild but professional. Under attack, Mista proposes to counterattack first, assuming his position as a watchman while Giorno takes care of everyone's escape. **They are already operating as a team, as predicted within the mafia in the Passione universe, but their teamwork is up to eleven.** Mista knows Giorno's abilities, including the power to replace organic tissues, and relies on them for his attempts to attack Ghiaccio. We need to pay attention to this detail: **Mista knows Giorno's ability and works with it together with his gun and his Stand. This is a learning experience that Giorno will adopt in the future in the story.** With no success in neutralizing Ghiaccio, Giorno enters the fight and Mista himself operates with Gold Experience. Romantic tones aside, we have to consider that these two decidedly fit together as battle partners.

b) Resolve consolidation: despite the openness to teamwork, Giorno still invests a lot in his own ability to formulate plans and, as the last card, decides to throw the car in the water. Unsuccessful, seeing that Mista and he are about to be defeated and that White Album is very powerful, Giorno admits to himself that he failed and asks Mista to continue with the search for the disc and abandon him there. Until then, what Giorno understood was that what had value within the logic of the mafia was the ability to sacrifice himself as a soldier. **This is what he saw with Abbacchio, Fugo, Narancia, and Buccellati: as a last resort, put yourself on the line, but make sure the mission is successful (even if it costs you your life). Mista, reckless as he may be, does not share this understanding. Instead of following Giorno's plea, he proposes that they work as a team once again, encouraging Giorno to use his Stand as much as possible.** It's almost cute how Mista encourages and praises Giorno. He realizes how Giorno felt defeated, a failure, and starts talking about what he understands about victory. “Sacrifice is not a real victory.” Giorno takes a few moments to understand Mista's words, while Mista continues to search for the disc and counterattack Ghiaccio. **Giorno observes how Mista's motivation is different from that of the others in the gang, and adopts for himself the sense of victory and resolve that Mista offered.**

c) The promised path: Mista fights with all his strength against Ghiaccio, but the enemy is an almost relentless opponent. Filled with deep wounds, the gunslinger is failing in his own senses: Mista is a tough guy, but with limits that he insists on extrapolating. Giorno admires Mista's resilience and his willingness to live and win over the simple accomplishment of a mission. After all, Mista values ​​life. He loves to live - despite living dangerously. **Mista is not naive - he accepts the various injuries and proposes to take even more shots because Giorno shows - when he gets hurt and lets his own blood mark paths on the ice - that Mista is not alone and that he will always have a way to get out of the darkness.** God, this is so epic, bitch. **Mista understands that Giorno has abandoned the old Passione's narrow vision and that he presents him with a new one: the path of victory in the blood, in the presence of Giorno Giovanna, in guaranteeing survival above all. Giorno offers the blood, the path, the partnership, body and soul, and Mista accepted. That is why Mista graciously takes all the ricocheted bullets because he knows that Giorno is there. He fully relies on Giorno at the moment, and Giorno does not disappoint.** When Ghiaccio dies, and Giorno takes the disc, Mista is not dead either: Giorno promised a path to victory, a path to the future, new dawn. And Mista considers: in his heart, Giorno is already his capo, his guide, the one who will give the future that the lone cowboy could never see before.

2.5. *Mista chooses his capo*

Buccellati announces his betrayal against Passione and is ready to let the others go without him, but Giorno learned on the journey at that point that alliances are more important for true victory than decisions based on individual values. Thus, both propose that they follow those who would like to oppose the Boss and discover his identity. An important detail here is Mista, who follows Abbacchio in the decision to be a traitor to the organization, bragging about his skills: he does not speak to Buccellati, he addresses Giorno. In body language, he wraps the other man in a semi-hug, secretly murmuring to Giorno about how Buccellati should have an advantage over the Boss and that Giorno, like him, knows that they will be very rich. Why would Mista go to Giorno at this moment of decision and, in that confident manner, further suggesting that Giorno "knows something" and that he could "tell him later"? **Mista has already decided that Giorno is the future. Mista trusts his leadership. Mista showed to everyone, at that moment, that, although loyal to Buccellati, above all, Giorno is his guide.**

2.6. *The partnership remains*

Following are several arcs that do not focus so much on Giorno and Mista. Throughout these parts, we observe how Giorno gradually establishes himself as the leader of the group as much as Buccellati, who leaves his space for Giorno, and **how** **Mista and Giorno are close in the background (in the sense that they are working together or literally).** Some moments worth mentioning are when Giorno and Mista argue after the gunslinger kills Carne - indicating how Mista gets angry when Giorno doesn't seem to trust his judgment - and then on the plane. Even in those moments, in the face of crisis, they have no doubts: as soon as Giorno determined that there was a Stand in his arm, Mista acted with his shots. Later, in Sardegna, the two form a pair of lookouts at a high point on the beach.

2.7 *Combo Move*

In the rush to meet with the contact in the Colosseum in Rome, the gang faces Oasis and Green Day. In the car, Buccellati confirms his rotting condition for Giorno. This, coupled with Cioccolatta's over the top behavior, impels Giorno into the battle with blood in his eyes. It is a terrible enemy and, to Mista's bad luck, Secco's Oasis is also a formidable opponent. **At this moment, Giorno shows that he knows how to apply the acquired knowledge and, mirroring what Mista did in White Album Arc, operates his Stand with Mista's skills to be able to pin the helicopter in which the enemy is. This moment is remarkable not only because it crowns one of the best combos of the entire JJBA saga, but also because it shows once again how Giorno is always learning and strengthening with his allies - and Mista is, for his luck, a great teacher.**

2.8 *A crisis of the devil*

Another moment that could be considered extremely relevant is when almost everyone is suffering the effects of body swap (only Giorno is back in his body due to Narancia's death). Given his unique ability to have felt when his soul was present and when Narancia was not there, and the hollow body, Giorno was certain that Diavolo could not be possessing it, but one of the other bodies. Giorno decides first to investigate Trish's body (which has Mista's soul by that moment), following his theory that Diavolo broke Mista's gun. Mista freaks out and even threatens Giorno. Imagine this moment when there is an overpower hellish spirit that could possess any of the dudes around you and kill with a blink of an eye. And maybe it was possessing YOU. And killed YOUR FRIEND. You would be mad as fuck too. Buccellati sensed that this would give a chance to Diavolo acts, and offered himself to be checked first. **Despite the tense moment, Giorno was willing to talk to Mista - he believed that Mista wouldn't consciously hurt him.**

2.9. *Crowning Moment*

After the short chapters that chronicle the events of Rolling Stone and how Mista handled that Stand, the reader has a new perspective on the relationship between Giorno and Mista, now on a more symbolic level: **the man who changed Fate meets the man who operates with Fate.** Together, they also seal Buccellati’s destiny. From there, we have the vision of Mista opening the windows to the room of the new Don, Giorno, receiving the loyalty votes of other capos. **A partnership forged in battle, where a promise of future and victory emerged, now sealed forever by the Mafia's vow of loyalty.**

2.10 *Considerations:*

The journey was long in terms of changes and decisions, although it lasted a few days. Giorno and Mista formed a team, then a partnership, and finally found each other in a solid alliance. **Whether in the sense of seeing a deep friendship or the beginning of a romantic feeling, it is a fact that the fate of these two men is deeply intertwined. And when it comes to Vento Aureo, Fate, here, means a lot.** Their relationship could be considered to be one of the most productive and formidable, forcing each other to grow and fostering the best of each one. It is one of the most balanced relationships in the entire series, even considering that, technically, the two end up in vertically different positions in the gang hierarchy. They learned from each other, they trusted each other, they built meanings for their lives with each other. And that is undeniable.

**3. Symbolism:**

In addition to the interactions themselves, there are a number of elements, references and symbols that mark the relationship between Giorno and Mista.

3.1. Vento Aureo has to have references to The Godfather. And there are several, like the story of Narancia, for example. Focusing on Giorno and Mista, it is obvious to the vast majority that the final scene in the manga is referring to the end of the first film in the series, in which Michael Corleone takes over as the new boss. What's funny is that, in the scene, *Mista takes the place of Katherine Corleone, Michael's wife*. It is, to say the least, interesting.

3.2. The famous panel in which Giorno is holding Mista against the sunrise. It seems a bit like Pietà plagiarism, which also matches the vibes, however, the fact that *it reminds a lot of the legend of Apollo and Hyacinth - there is even a disc in the plot - it is also interesting. Apollo is associated with the sun (just like Giorno), and he turns Hyacinth into a flower (similar to the powers of Gold Experience).* Very poetic.

3.3. The gun and the flowers (not that band), the elements associated with Mista and Giorno, make reference to the *symbolism present in Giorno's favorite musical: “Les Misérables”*, on the theme of an idea of republic defended by the characters of that work.

3.4. It is hard not to think about the most famous song by *Mista's favorite band, The Carpenters' "Close To You"*, and not to think that the description of the verses resembles a certain blond...

3.5. Visually, we see several images of Giorno and Mista touching. This is not uncommon in Hirohiko Araki's creations, but notably, w*e see Mista and Giorno touching each other in order to protect themselves from the rest of the world, and this is more evident after White Album Arc.* Images also tell a story, and here, they tell how the two come to trust each other along the journey.

**4. Growth Potential:**

Vento Aureo talks not only about the mafia, but also about Fate, about Resolve, and about the layers of human misery and how to find hope in the chaos of this reality. **The relationship between Giorno and Mista carries all these keywords in their dynamics: they gave each other hope, helped each other to consolidate their Resolve, were destined to meet and, well, end the story as the two most powerful names of the criminal organization they took in hand. Considering that we don't have an ending that ends - we can imagine all the adventures of Don Giorno and Underboss Mista in Passione's day-to-day life - and how the dynamics of Giorno and Mista in Vento Aureo are refreshing and powerful both in terms of battle and interaction, it's easy to understand how so many people on fandom create several post canon scenarios for these two.** In addition to the challenges of being the new heads of the mafia, Giorno and Mista still have a lot to learn from each other, to seek to strengthen and to test the mutual trust acquired, as well to try to find joy in a type of life so dangerous that they chose for themselves. What is certain is that, if Giorno promised a path of victory and future for Mista e and Mista faithfully predisposed to follow Giorno, these two must surely follow a path to the Sun.

## Notable Anime GioMis Moments

### First Encounter

During episode 5 of Golden Wind, Giorno drink's Abbachio's piss during the famous piss drinking scene. (He didn't actually drink it, he turned one of his teeth into a tiny jellyfish to absorb the urine in the cup.)

Mista tells Giorno that he'll be fun to have around, and gives him major props for drinking the piss. He then asks Giorno how he did it, prompting that if he told him it'll be their little secret.

Giorno: "Can't recall. But you all are keeping abilities under wraps as well, aren't you?"

### Attack on Sale

During epsiode 7, Giorno proposes that he goes to the island and takes their other attacker (Sale) by surprise and defeat him. Abbachio protests this idea, but Mista agrees with Giorno, and delivers a cool ass speech that goes as such:

Mista: "You know what? I'm actually with Giorno on this one. So we don't know the identity of this asshole, big deal. If he's waiting for Zucchero to arrive in this boat then I think we've got a fighting chance. We gotta take it, no matter what the risk is. Why wait for him to make his move? The bastard won't know what hit him."

Giorno smiles at Mista, and the two begin their plan to attack Sale.

Mista: "So, about that fish... How many people can it take, Giorno? My stand, Sex Pistols, is specifically designed to kill. Which means they're more than up for this little mission. Just leave it to us!"

Giorno and Mista then arrive at the island where the attacker is, taking Zucchero's radio with them.

Once they arrive on the island, Giorno asks Mista if he has a plan on how they're going to confront their mystery target, only to notice Mista is distracted by another matter: Lunch time.

Mista sits down on a rock and sets a tablecloth on top of another rock, making a dinner table with bread, Tuscan salami, and a glass with wine. Giorno is puzzled by this, and Mista proceeds to explain that it's way past lunch time, and that he prefers to eat now then later. Giorno, still puzzled, begins to rush Mista. Telling him that they don't have a lot of time. Mista refuses and explains that he can't go without feeding his stand, Sex Pistols.

Giorno is a bit caught off guard, but goes along with it anyways. After Sex Pistols is properly introduced, Giorno nags Mista one more time about the mission, and Mista promises Giorno that he'll convince his stand to work.

During their attack on Sale, Mista is walking by the radio station, unaware that their target is behind the window. Giorno, in vain, calls out Mista to warn him. Mista is unable to hear him, and Giorno then switches to scream into Zucchero's radio, sacrificing having Sale hear him for Mista to.

After Mista successfully kills their target, team Bucciarati arrives at the restrooms in Capri to receive their treasure. After they're rewarded and Bucciarati is promoted to capo, Mista begins to wonder if everything that's been happening has been due to Giorno's presence, calling him a "crazy good luck charm".

Mista: "(Man... It's like everything started being set into motion since that new guy, Giorno, got here. He's a crazy good luck charm!)"

### Giorno and Mista vs White Album

In episode 18, Giorno and Mista are being attacked by Ghiaccio while on their way to get the disc. The two of them are frozen to the car, and Giorno apologizes to Mista for not being able to use Golden Experience without warmth. He mentions that there's not much he can do besides picking up bullets, which gives Mista an idea. Mista shoots Ghiaccio with the bullets Giorno had. Due to the fact that bullets retain heat when being shot, Giorno is able to use Golden Experience on Ghiaccio.

Mista: "Bullets retain a little heat after being fired, right? So, if I fired the ones Giorno picked up then I'm packing literal heat! Speaking to him, he's at a loss for words so I'll do him a solid just this once. GET RID OF THIS FREAK, GOLDEN EXPERIENCE!"

The two continue their trip to the disc, only for Ghiaccio to go after them again. Mista urges Giorno to stop the car, and Ghiaccio nearly freezes Mista until Golden Experience stops him. Not too long after, Giorno drives their car onto the canal.

In episode 19, Giorno and Mista continue their battle with Ghiaccio and Giorno gets his left hand frozen off. Mista begins to panic, and Giorno reminds Mista that retrieving the disc will cement their victory. He then tells Mista to leave the car as it is starting to freeze, and get the disc. Mista refuses, and Giorno seems to accept this.

Mista: "Fine, have it your way. Your definition of victory needs some work! Beating ice boy to the ground AND getting the disc in hand, that's how it's done!"

Giorno then creates tundra grass on the car, and Mista decides to use it to create a snowboard to glide across the ice Ghiaccio created. Mista is able to get far enough, but not to the point where Ghiaccio can't catch him. The tundra snowboard melts, and Mista falls into the water. Giorno warns Mista to pull himself up from the water, however his warning goes in vain when Mista gets trapped in the ice once again. With little hope left, Giorno tells Mista to get the tundra grass in the water and fire it.

After Mista fails at his attempt of finishing off Ghiaccio, Giorno hears Mista's bullets ricochet and warns him to get out of the way. Mista gets shot in his shoulder.

Giorno: "(This went from bad to worse... Mista's at the end of his road, he's taking responsibility for this and is risking his life!)"

(Ghiaccio finds the disc inside the lion statue)

Giorno: "(That's just the mindset needed to light your pass in this darkness. This is when things get interesting! I've no doubt there will be sacrifices. But Mista and I have determined that's the (random Italian word). We will find a way!)"

Giorno then calls out Mista's name, and hits his injured arm on the ice to deliver a speech that will trigger another flashback to Mista's backstory.

Giorno: "THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS. TO HAVE DETERMINATION! TO FORGE YOUR PASS THROUGH THE DARKNESS OF LIGHT!"

After Mista's backstory (and after he becomes brutally injured), Giorno carries Mista in his arms, and prepares to beat the shit out of Ghiaccio.

Giorno: "Mista... your determination shines even brighter than the morning sun. It's shown us the way forward, and it's put us on the path toward tomorrow! We've won because of you!"

After Ghiaccio's death, Giorno and Mista successfully retrive the disc.

Mista: "(I'm finally starting to realize something about this Giorno Giovanna... He's a total rookie, but even so, when he says something will happen, it eventually comes to fruition. My determination was really Giorno's... It flooded my being without me even realizing it. It's like he's superseded Bucciarati to become capo, like he was guiding my every move... How the hell does he do that? Guess it doesn't matter. Not like obsessing over it will do any good...)"

### The Golden Experience

Giorno then tells Mista that he retrieved the disc, and Mista asks Giorno to heal him. Only to be reminded by Giorno that he doesn't exactly "heal", but rather creates life. So the process will be painful. Mista lays down on a bench and Giorno begins to heal him. Narancia then comes in to pick them up on a boat, but mistakes Giorno healing Mista for uhh... Giving him the "golden suck". Narancia pretends to not see anything, and tells Bucciarati that "there was something in his eyes". Narancia took this secret to the grave. Best boy. Anyway next scene I'm sick of writing this.

### Bucciaratai Betrays the Boss

In episode 21, Bucciarati betrays the boss and asks the gang if anyone wants to continue working with him. Mista agrees to, and throws the turtle to Giorno. Telling him that there's no way Bucciarati would take on something he couldn't handle.

Mista: "We're gonna be rolling in sweet lire, *amico mio!*"

In episode 24, the Bucci gang are on their way to Sardinia when Carne, Notorious B.I.G.'s user, begins to walk up to them. Mista warns him multiple times to turn back, otherwise he'll be shot. Though Carne refuses, which obviously gets him shot.

Giorno is suspicious of how easy Carne went down, suggesting that it was a little too easy, and that Carne wanted to get shot. Mista seems offended by this, and responds by insisting that Giorno is jealous of his skills.

Mista: "Hey, what's with all that? Was that a dig at me and Sex Pistols?! Getting jealous of our skills isn't a good look! Fact is he sucks and we don't! (You're goddamn right!)"

In the airplane, Giorno is attacked by Notorious B.I.G. on his arm, and attempts to attack it with Golden Experience. His attempt is futile, and Mista shoots his arm off with Sex Pistols. Mista warns Giorno to start making a replacement arm, and quickly.

### Green Day and Oasis

In episode 30, Bucciarati is driving a car with Giorno and Mista in the backseat. Giorno tells Mista to get some rest, and that he'll keep watch for any cars on their tail.

Giorno: "Hey Mista, you should get some rest. I closed your wounds but they could start bleeding again. You just sit back and let me keep a look out for any cars that are on our tail."

Mista: "Yeah..."

Later in that episode, the three of them are going up against Cioccolata, who is inside of a helicopter. Bucciarati tells Mista to take down Cioccolata, to which Mista responds that he can't, and his range is not long enough to reach him. Giorno tells Mista that he won't know until he tries, and the two form THE pose, prompting this music to begin playing.

Giorno puts his hands on Mista's, who is holding the gun. The gun shoots, but unfortunately misses the helicopter. However, according to Giorno, they landed a perfect hit. Just enough that they can take down Cioccolata.

Giorno: "We just landed a direct hit, Mista. Now you and I are gonna go take down that pilot! Let's get moving!"

In episode 31, Mista becomes critically injured with bullet shots and is unable to fight. Giorno decides to take his place and runs off to take down Cioccolata. Mista tells Number 5 to go with him, and gives him a bullet. Telling him to watch Giorno's back.

Giorno is about to fall off the helicopter, but Number 5 shoots Giorno with the bullet, which Giorno uses to create a wood root between him and the helicopter. However, the wood roots are still a living thing, and turns into mold. However, Giorno kicks the wood root which turns back into a bullet, due to the fact it is not longer living, The bullet ricochets onto Cioccolata's head. Giorno wouldn't have been able to win, had Mista not asked Number 5 to join him.

### The Final Battle

In episode 37, Mista returns to his body, and tells Giorno that Bucciarati will be back.

Mista: "Guess who's back... Way to go, Bucciarati...! Let's never do that again... Can't have Trish nearly die twice. Hey, uhhh.. A little help? I know you're worried about Bucciarati... But he'll be back here before you know it, right...?"

### After Diavolo's Defeat

In episode 39, we get one last GioMis moment, which practically cements the status of their relationship after the events of Part 5. Giorno is seen in his usual outfit, except in black. And Mista got a change of wardrobe, too. Wearing the same outfit except in purple, white and black colors. Giorno becomes the mafia boss of Italy, and Mista begins to work under his command. It is likely that this deepened their relationship, however it is unclear how long they were together after the end of part 5.

You can watch the full final scene here.

## Trivia

* + In the animation, Mista calls out Giorno's Stand for his user since Giorno was partially frozen. Technically, calling out a Stand's name isn't necessary to summon it (when you are the user).
	+ During Mista's theme for "Golden Wind" OST, "Proietille", by the third act of the song it's heard Gold Experience's activation noises after the sounds of bullets.
	+ Giorno and Mista share a Dual Heat Attack on the franchising game "Eyes of Heaven" called True Resolve in reference to their battle against Ghiaccio.
	+ Mista's tetraphobia is well-known, avoiding to shot when he only has four bullets left. However, during the remarkable scene in which Giorno combines Gold Experience's powers with Mista's bullets, he shoots four times against Cioccolata's helicopter. And it works!
	+ At the drawing panel in LuccaCon (2019), Araki drew Mista, Giorno and Buccellati characters live, then put Giorno's and Mista's sketches side by side stating that "they belong together".
	+ During the official trailer for Golden Wind, Mista shoots a gun in which the bullet turns into a plant, most likely due to Golden Experience.
	+ After the episode where Giorno "heals" Mista, the ending for Golden Wind comes in right after. The lyrics as such: "Every time I close my eyes, I wake up feeling so horny."
	+ GioMis week takes place on DEC 1st-DEC 7th
	+ Khoi Dao, a popular voice actor who voiced Chaka and many other well known characters like Albedo from Genshin Impact, made a tweet in 2020 stating that if he had the final say in the Jojo dub he would've made Giorno and Mista boyfriends.
	+ In the Blu-ray version of Golden Wind, David Pro. actually fixed the scene where Giorno and Mista shoot the helicopter by actually putting Giorno's hand in Mista's pants. Unlike in the original TV version, where it didn't.
