This is where a lot of the group's drive comes from. They have a sort of mentality that they are invincible since they ditched their fates. Giorno in particular fancies himself something of a “chosen one” since he was able to return from the depths of despair and reinvent who he was. I think that this also ties in with a theme of “youth” since the cast is made up of mostly teenagers. The previous parts featured protags. In their late teens/early 20s but they always seemed to have a guardian or teacher that would guide them. In the midst of battle, Giorno tells his teammates that sacrificing yourself to defeat the enemy is not resolve, but that "Resolve is to carve out your destined path through the darkened wastes!"(Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Ch. 14) which is ironic coming from the one who frequently acts as a pawn to draw out the enemy. This just goes to prove the point that Giorno feels so invincible, that death isn't even a n option. The youthful empowerment of this story really shines through the main cast, especially with Giorno as their teacher.

This kind of main character is a very unexplored approach, I feel like. Despite Araki’s well executed approach, it was generally poorly received. I feel like if a better known author tried an approach like this it would be more appreciated by readers. But honestly, I think that every reader has an inner critic that likes to nitpick details in order to confirm to themselves that what they just read is worth their full appreciation. Anyone who enjoyed watching Giorno’s intelligent use of his abilities, fearless acts, and teamwork as much as I did, knows why Vento Aureo was a success.
