## 2026-01-22 I think **Vento Artuo** is an incredibly strong **JoJo** part, especially as a follow-up to [[Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure - Part 4 | Diamond is Unbreakable]]. I think Giorno is a cool protagonist, the stakes are really high, the battles are cool and the setting is cool and unique. **Part 5** also has the best ensemble cast in my opinion. The way Araki ties Bruno to the rest of the cast makes their bonds immediately make sense, and the stakes all the more impactful when said cast is in danger. I do wish Araki would have stopped only having one woman in the party, but at least he addresses this in **Part 6**. My only real issue with this part is that the ending feels a little abrupt. And it only stands out because everything leading up to it is so unbelievably intense and well paced. I’m not talking about the final battle, of which the short length makes sense thematically. I mean what comes immediately after. I want to know what happens to the rest of the cast, but we get one somewhat strange flashback chapter and a single panel that gives us a glimpse of an epilogue. It’s not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, and frankly the fact that Araki has given me *4.5* good endings to the various **JoJo** parts is a miracle in and of itself. But still! That abruptness — and the weird abrupt exit of Fugo — makes it a 5/7 for me.
