Read more about Narancia Ghirga at: Wikipedia Official Site: Jojo , initially referred to as , is the fifth story arc of the Japanese manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. Since the arc takes place in Italy, the series title is written in Italian as Le Bizzarre Avventure di GioGio. It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1995 to 1999. As it is the fifth part of the series, the 154 chapters pick up where the fourth left off and are numbered 441 to 594, with the tankōbon volumes numbered 47 to 63. It was preceded by Diamond Is Not Crash and followed by Stone Ocean. In 2001 Koichi Hirose, from Part 4, goes to Naples at the request of Jotaro Kujo to find someone and get a skin sample of theirs. This person turns out to be middle school student Giorno Giovana (in Italian "Gio" is pronounced very similar to "Jo"), the son of Dio Brando (conceived using Jonathan Joestar's body) and a Japanese woman. The story then follows Giorno as he tries to become a boss of the mafia in order to make Naples a better place and help its people. So he joins Passione, an organized crime group that employs many Stand users (essentially, his vision for Passione is akin to Robin Hood's band, in contrast to the sheer powerlust of its current leader). He is placed in the group of Bucciarati, who is at first suspicious of Giorno but is eventually won over and decides to work with him to take over the mob from within, and put an end to the Passione drug trade. Bucciarati is also the superior of fellow Stand users Guido Mista, Leone Abbacchio, Narancia Ghirga, and Fugo Pannacotta. Throughout the span of the story, the group - suspicious of Giorno - soon discover his courage and generosity, and slowly warm to him. After finding Polpo's amassed fortune on the island of Capri, Bucciarati is promoted and his group is assigned a secret mission by the boss himself—escort his teenage daughter, Trish Una, safely to him. With the help of a Stand-using turtle, they fend off various attacks by Stand-using traitors within the mob, determined to overthrow the boss—only by kidnapping Trish can they hope to learn his identity. After traveling to Pompeii and Florence, they arrive in Venice to meet the boss at the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore on San Giorgio Maggiore island. However, while doing so Bucciarati discovers that the boss only wanted Trish brought to him so he could kill her himself—his intent was nothing more than to permanently conceal his identity. He alone tries to kill the Boss, in order for him and Giorno to achieve their goal, but realizes his Stand that can erase time and subsequently predict events is too powerful and decides to retreat. Bucciarati's group, minus Fugo, then join him in betraying the Boss and protect Trish so they can learn his identity. Even after Trish discovers her own Stand ability, they find themselves in the unenviable position of opposing all of the Passione gang in order to protect her.
