Golden Wind is a 5-part series in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, set in Italy in 2001. Today, I'd like to explain the Stands that appear in Golden Wind, grouped by group. Enjoy!
[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure] Golden Wind Part 5: Bucciarati's Team Stands
These are the Stands that served under Polpo, a former executive. After betraying their boss, Trish shared the same fate as this team. The protagonist, Giorno, also belongs to this team.

Bruno Bucciarati's Stand, "Sticky Fingers," is a blue, humanoid Stand. It boasts incredible combat power and can attach zippers to anything, allowing it to move and attack. It's incredibly versatile and powerful, able to attach zippers to opponents' bodies to rip them apart or move through the ground.
"Gold Experience"

Giorno Giovanna's Stand, "Gold Experience," specializes in close-combat humanoid combat. He can transform objects into animals, and attacking those animals will deal the same amount of damage to the attacker. Additionally, hitting humans directly will slow their senses, making everything seem slower.
Gold Experience Requiem

This ability is activated when Giorno Giovanna's Stand, Gold Experience, is pierced by an arrow. It reduces the strength and willpower of the attacker struck to zero. Anyone hit by this ability will lose even death, causing the process to loop endlessly. This ability has made it impossible for Diavolo to even die.
"Moody Blues"

Leone Abbacchio's Stand, known as "Moody Blues," is a humanoid Stand. Moody Blues has the ability to see into the past of certain places and objects, even searching for information from decades ago. While not suited to combat, he excels at exploration and information gathering. If he had stayed in the police force, he would have been promoted without a doubt.
"Purple Haze"

Panna Cotta Fugo's Stand is a humanoid Stand called "Purple Haze." Purple Haze has a capsule filled with deadly poison attached to its hand, and if it attacks an enemy, their body will rot and they will die, making it an extremely dangerous Stand. It is one of the most vicious Stands in the series, with the potential to even kill allies. However, its intelligence is not very high.
"Aerosmith"

Narancia Ghirga's Stand controls the "Aerosmith," a small, plastic model-like fighter jet-like Stand. It primarily attacks with the Stand's built-in machine guns and missiles, but it can also slice opponents to pieces using its propellers. It can also determine the enemy's location by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide emitted.
"Sex Pistols"

Guido Mista's Stand controls six fairy-like Stands known as the "Sex Pistols." By giving each one instructions and positioning them, you can freely change the angle of the bullets you fire to attack from unexpected directions. They won't work unless they eat lunch. They also each have a name, from No. 1 to No. 7, but No. 4 is missing because they hate the number 4.
"Spicy Girl"

Trish Una's Stand, the humanoid "Spicy Girl," has the ability to soften objects with her touch. Trish was able to see Stands midway through the story, but her ability only came into play when she resolved to protect Giorno's hand from the enemy Stand after Bucciarati and his men betrayed the Boss. Incidentally, when Trish uses the name of the Stand, she makes a pun by saying, "This one's a little different."
"Black Sabbath"

Polpo's Stand. It appears from the flame of his lighter and attacks automatically. It moves only through shadows, but cannot enter very small shadows. It fires arrow-like objects from its mouth, and if pierced by one, it will either die or awaken its Stand power. Originally a member of Bucciarati's team, it was killed by Giorno, and Bucciarati became its leader.
[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure] Golden Wind Part 5: The Stands of the Former Assassination Team
The former assassination team also originally belonged to the Passione organization, but they were so unfortunate that they plotted to uncover the boss's true identity and steal the profits from the drug trade. To that end, they attempt to kidnap Trish, engaging in combat with Bucciarati and his men.
"Little Feet"

"Little Feet" is Formaggio's Stand ability. It's a humanoid Stand that can shrink people to JoJo when attacked. While it reverts to normal after a certain amount of time, Narancia struggled against it.
"Man in the Mirror"

This Stand, wielded by Illuso, can create a world separate from the real world within a mirror. Only those authorized by Illuso can enter the mirror world, and Stand abilities are retained in the real world outside. It also allows for fine adjustments, such as allowing only half of the body to enter. In the mirror world, everything is reversed, just like in the mirror.
"Grateful Dead"

Prosciutto's Stand ability, "Grateful Dead," accelerates the aging of living things in that space. The higher the body temperature, the faster the aging process, which can even be used to distinguish between men and women. For this reason, it is possible to slow down the aging process by using ice or water. They have a strange appearance, with two legs and tentacles.
"Beach Boy"

Pesci's Stand is a fishing rod with a string and needle attached. The needle can be thrust into the body to pull, or even penetrate further into the body, piercing the heart. Additionally, anyone caught in the needles is pulled by Pesci's power, but simply holding on can drain a significant amount of energy.
"Baby Face"

This is a remote-controlled Stand used by Melone. They are born from seeds planted in ordinary people, and then attach themselves to the mother, growing stronger and carrying out their missions. As they are in constant contact with Melone, these "Baby Faces" continue to grow even during battle.
"White Album"

Ghiaccio's Stand ability, "White Album," takes the shape of a suit, and its power is activated when the user wears it. When wearing "White Album," Ghiaccio has the ability to freeze everything. However, it's said to be warm and cozy inside the suit.
"Metallica"

Metallica is the Stand ability of Risotto, the former leader of an assassination team. It resembles countless slime-like growths. It can manipulate iron, creating razor blades or scissors from the blood of humans within range, allowing it to attack from within the body. Humans can die from not only attacks but also iron deficiency. They also have the ability to blend into the background and mimic the environment like chameleons.
[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure] Golden Wind Part 5: Stands of the Boss's Directly Controlled Guard Team
The other faction is the Boss's faction, consisting of those who protect the Boss and belong to the organization. The story is structured around the intensifying battle between the Boss's faction, the Assassin's faction, and the Bucciarati's faction.
"King Crimson"

This Stand ability is possessed by the boss Diavolo (Doppio). It is humanoid and features a mask on its forehead. It can advance time by about 10 seconds, during which time nothing in the world will retain any memory of what happened. Time is effectively erased for everyone except for the user. Furthermore, like future foresight, activating this ability allows him to predict enemy movements. It's a power worthy of a final boss.
"Talking Head"

This is the Stand used by Tisciano. If it wraps around a person's tongue, it forces them to say the opposite of what they're thinking. While it has no offensive capabilities, it's perfect for distracting opponents, and can be adjusted to deactivate it for just a moment to force them to tell the truth.
"Crash"

Squalo's Stand ability gives it the shape of a small shark and allows it to travel anywhere underwater. Its lethal power is so great that it actually pierces Narancia's neck. Of course, if there's bleeding, this Stand can penetrate through that area.
"Notorious B.I.G."

It's unclear what it is made of, but this Stand is activated by the grudge of its user, Carne, upon his death. In other words, Carne intentionally died in order to activate this Stand ability. It was extremely powerful, growing from the energy of the body and Stand of the person who struck it. It was the Stand ability that never killed anyone until the very end.
"Green Day"

This is Cioccolata's Stand ability. When this ability is activated, any living creature descending from a high place to a lower place will be attacked by mold. Because the mold's range is determined by the distance from the corpse, it spreads from corpse to corpse, causing a catastrophe.
"Oasis"

Secko's Stand ability is a suit-shaped Stand. He can turn earth into mud, and after a certain distance it hardens again, allowing him to use this to launch long-range attacks. His close-range attacks are also extremely destructive, as he was able to deflect Mista's "Sex Pistols" with a pebble.

"Silver Chariot Requiem"

It's so cutting-edge and interesting that it's hard to believe it was made in the 1990s.
