05Story
SPOILERS
Vento Aureo
After Team Bucciarati 's defection, Squalo is contacted to track and eliminate the traitors. Squalo himself enrolls Tizzano in his mission.↗
As Team Bucciarati has lunch, Squalo and Tizzano position themselves on a nearby rooftop to observe their target. Squalo sends his Clash into Narancia 's soup. Narancia immediately summons Aerosmith and shoots at Clash upon seeing but the shark disappears in the bowl only to reappear inside of the soup in his new spoon and jump to tear off his tongue.↗
Tizzano attaches his Talking Head to Narancia's tongue and starts controlling Narancia to make him lie about the enemy. The group starts to believe the lies, forcing Narancia to try to stop Giorno from boarding their boat. Bucciarati decides to tackle the enemy and tells Abbacchio to use Moody Blues to track them. However, Narancia realizes that Moody Blues will be in grave danger in the water.↗
Giorno finally understands that Narancia is being forced to lie by an enemy ability to Narancia's relief. However, water starts leaking from the damaged pipe, creating a large puddle from which Clash emerges and tears at Giorno's throat. Narancia summons Aerosmith and tries to shoot, but Clash can teleport faster than the bullets. Nonetheless, Tizzano warns his partner that Aerosmith can detect CO 2 coming from Giorno; thus he must completely stop Giorno from breathing.↗
Clash effortlessly evades Aerosmith's shots and baits Narancia into shooting into Giorno and one of the toilets, freeing Clash to head for the sewers. The duo hears Narancia angrily shout that he's lost track of the enemy, but Tizzano understands that Narancia means that he's still following Clash. Giorno deliberately let himself get shot by Narancia; the tracer bullets embedded in him are emitting CO 2 for Aerosmith. This time, the miniature plane Stand shoots true, managing to wound Clash.↗
Clash returns to the surface in one of the restaurant's aquariums, still followed by Aerosmith. Now at a disadvantage with the CO 2 coming from Giorno, Squalo tries to warp Clash between bodies of water in the restaurant; however, his injuries have slowed his Stand's movements. Aerosmith lands several more shots as Clash flees to the kitchen, eventually cornering the shark-like Stand near a stove just as Giorno completely stops breathing.↗
Tizzano momentarily deactivates Talking Head's ability, making Narancia's shouts lure the rest of Team Bucciarati into the kitchen, then reactivates his Stand and forces Narancia to encourage Mista to shoot at Clash. When Mista shoots, the gas explodes and throws everyone away, causing a blaze that saturates Narancia's radar. Clash takes Giorno and puts him in the sewers.↗
Squalo and Tizzano join the streets, with the former wearing a cloak to hide his serious injuries. Seeing Narancia going in their direction, Squalo fears that their enemy is searching for the ragged breathing of an injured person but Tizzano points out that the many people in the surrounding crowd will throw Narancia off. He also points out that Narancia keeps shouting that he's found the enemy; since Talking Head is still active, that must mean that he's lying.↗
With their cover blown, Tizzano tells Squalo to recall Clash but there's no liquid close enough for the Stand to ambush Narancia from. Free to attack, Narancia has Aerosmith shoot Squalo but Tizzano shields Squalo with his own body, collapsing in his partner's arms and splashing Narancia with his blood. With his last breaths, he weakly encourages Squalo to continue the mission, certain that they can still succeed despite things not going according to plan.↗
Enraged by Tizzano's demise, Squalo vows revenge on all of Team Bucciarati - at his orders, Clash bursts out of the blood on Narancia's face and tears into his throat. Undeterred, Narancia sends Aerosmith to push Squalo high into the air, announcing that his entire team will make it out of Venice alive before having his Stand fill its target with bullets.↗
