Many problems with this book.
Araki is too deep into his own mythos and has lost the broad appeal and inventiveness of earlier volumes.
The art is terrible. Lacks utterly the power, clarity, style, and emotional content of JoJo parts 1-3. Faces in Golden wind all look the same and lack expression. Figure proportions are more realistic (not really a good thing) but the dynamism is gone. The pages are overly detailed and cluttered, reflecting a myopic focus.
The story deals almost exclusively with the logistical minutia of stand battles, eschewing the banter and humor of earlier JoJos. All the characters of part 5 are consequentially flat and lackluster.
There are 3 battles within this volume. The first and worst ( absolutely dreadful ) is vs 2 featureless mannequins who operate a shark that leaps between puddles and a gremlin that makes you lie. Araki has done these kind of stands before and much better. The water stand from stardust crusaders when iggy first appears is basically the same idea. As far as the lying, Narancia never finds a way to convey the truth and just goes off on his own to eliminate the enemies with lil bomber. Lame.
The second fight is the most intense, with a seemingly unstoppable stand. The suspense here is much better. Even so, Araki didnt bother to provide any characterization at all for Carne, the deceased stand user. Why did he choose to die? What was he so angry about? What loyalty did he have to the boss? I feel like these questions should have been answered.
There is a mini character arc for Trish here. After witnessing Giorno’s heroism in saving her, and pushed to the brink of death, she is inspired to return the favor, growing beyond her selfish and cowardly nature. And she develops a stand ability.
The conclusion involving the slow-moving parachute was clever, but a lot of the rest of the fight was needlessly muddled, such as the coda with Abacchio. It’s not a smooth read.
The story then switches gear to a villain viewpoint for a fight between the boss and Risotto. This allows Araki to deepen the boss’s character and also set him up as a powerful threat ( presumably he defeats risotto ).
It’s clever the way the Boss is introduced. Araki first generates sympathy for the character by showing a truck run him over after he tries to save an ungrateful runt. He then inexplicably murders an innocent street gypsy. It turns out that the boss has a split personality, with the ruthless Boss coming out only when his true identity is threatened. Otherwise he is a weaker, kinder, and less confident persona called Doppio, who believes himself to be one of the Boss’ lieutenants. This is an intriguing Jekyll and Hyde setup with a lot of possibilities for head games.

En pleno ecuador de la historia, está no deja de subir de intensidad.
Al fin se descubre la verdad: el jefe ha querido encontrarse con su hija con el único fin de matarla y, así, hacer desaparecer lo único que podría poner en peligro el secreto de su identidad. Bucciarati, incapaz de debar morir a Trish, decide traicionar al jefe de todas todas en una batalla en donde descubre la habilidad invencible de su Stand.
Tomo trepidante col dos grandes batallas donde, en verdad, el ingenio y la determinación son la clave para que nuestros chicos consigan escapar de Venecia para buscar los orígenes del jefe en Cerdeña.

EL TOMO de Vento Aureo. Acá es donde hacen de tripas corazón y se disponen a encarar lo que sea que se les venga encima.
Voy a tener que escribir reseñas provisorias para un montón de tomos de Jojo's porque sigue habiendo iditoas que combinan la edición tankoubon con la bunko y hacen desastres con las series y reviews de cada tomo.
No recuerdo el por qué específico del punteaje a este tomo pero aguante Vento Aureo y toda la manga de asesinos y dementes que pululan por sus páginas.
Igual ojalá empiece a salir más rápido así tenemos Stone Ocean cuanto antes y Steel Ball Run a continuación.

It's all kinda a mess isn't it? The author keeps the high stress situations running back to back, and this part is truly missing the levity and humor of part 4. The characters bleed together for me, I don't have a strong handle on the villain for how deep I am, and while I'm stoked Trish finally has her stand, it really took way too long. Nothing has space to breathe, I don't feel like I know anybody and the fights in this volume were some of the most convoluted and confusing yet.
As always though, the art and designs are fantastic. I'm looking forward to Stone Ocean, just bummed this is the first part of JoJo's that sometimes feels like a slog to me when I know so many others love it.

Both Narancia and Trish have their own moments to prove themselves and they were able to hold their own for a lot longer than I thought. I really liked Narancia’s battle with Squalo and Tiziano though. We find out new information about Trish and we of course, get a plethora of new enemy stand users trying to take down our eccentric Italian group of gangsters. It's not a Jojo’s volume if it doesn't make me nauseous because those fingers and Giorno’s hand were absolutely horrid to look at. I am so ready to know what's up with Bucciarati’s body. STAN SPICY LADY!!

There was such a huge opportunity for Araki to really show the intricacies of stands like Talking Head, Clash and Notorious B.I.G- and he just didn't. It's a bit disappointing that all of the great stands we come across in part 5 don't really get the spotlight they deserve due to how fast it all goes by. It feels as if the main characters are all way too O.P. in comparison to characters from past parts.

Ni lo pude terminar de leer. Por más buena voluntad que puse, de no tomarla tan en serio, divertirme, disfrutar lo que pasa y ya, nomás no. Es increíble la cantidad de relleno que maneja; hay casi 150 hojas de puro humor de pastelazo, por ejemplo. El diseño de personajes es muy bueno y es el mayor atractivo de esta obra, pero es insuficiente si no hay una historia que contar. Por otro lado, las motivaciones nomás son puros disparates. Solo quiero que acabe para volver a leer mi arco favorito: Stone Ocean.
*ACTUALIZACIÓN*
Sí lo termine de leer, está ok. Creo que para leer este arco se necesita un mood muy peculiar.
