Summary
Shocked to see a statue of a dying Bucciarati, Mista nonetheless quickly dominates Scolippi, makes the elevator go up and starts to interrogate him. Scolippi reveals that he's a sculptor unaware about Stands except for his own ability, Rolling Stones, which acted on its own and followed Bucciarati. Mista then notices that the stone has disappeared and Scolippi explains that Bucciarati's fate has been sealed, just like how stones are fated to take the form of a given statue. Skeptical, Mista tries to intidimate Scolippi into bringing back the stone by forcing a russian roulette on the sculptor as Scolippi explains that Rolling Stones predicts future deaths and confronts its target to let them die peacefully when they touch it. In truth, the same happened to his girlfriend. Mista shoots Scolippi in the mouth, but his gun misfires, as Scolippi isn't supposed to die. It is only when he calls Fugo that he learns that Bucciarati is near and in the range of Rolling Stones. Shooting three of the Sex Pistols to seek Bucciarati, Mista makes the elevator go down and begs Scolippi for a way to stop Rolling Stone. Scolippi then mentions the possibility of destroying the stone although he isn't sure it can work. Bucciarati is already at the 7th floor and Rolling Stones is already near its target. Shooting up the elevator shaft, Mista manages to delay the stone by shooting it so that he can join Bucciarati and explain the situation. However, in doing so he's aggravated the wounds in Bucciarati's statue. Mista holds the stone down but it then sinks into the stairs and reappears from a wall to ambush Bucciarati. Using Sticky Fingers, Bucciarati zips to the outside of the building, closely followed by Rolling Stones. The stone almost touches Bucciarati but Mista then grabs it and throws himself off the building. Mista lands on a car's roof and Rolling Stones breaks on the concrete. Indeed, trusting Scolippi's word, Mista has performed this daring action thinking he wasn't fated to die this day. Incidentally, Mista lands on Fugo's car, the latter having come back to give the tape recorder. With the stone destroyed, Mista is satisfied to leave the whole affair as is, and Bucciarati decides to investigate the case of Luca's death. However, Scolippi sees that Mista has in the end not prevented Bucciarati's death and the dust takes the form of Abbacchio and Narancia too, signalling their deaths. As a silver lining, Scolippi notes that Mista was ready to die for his leader and, admiring this determination, hopes that the youths' arduous road will fulfill some purpose. Back to the present, Giorno holds the Arrow in his hand, causing Mista to chew him out for his tardiness. Suddenly, Trish suddenly trips on a round rock reminding Mista of Rolling Stones. Trish disappears briefly but it simply turns out that Coco Jumbo has caught up to the team, having accidentally sucked Trish into his room. Moreover, Jean Pierre Polnareff's soul has clung to the room inside of Coco Jumbo, allowing him to linger a bit more in the world of the living. Mista then recalls Bucciarati. Polnareff almost reveals Bucciarati's death but Giorno silences him with a look. Mista is then distracted as he remembers Trish remarked that his body smelled bad; however, Trish remarks that she doesn't mind anymore. As the group heads to the Colosseum, Giorno decides to keep the Arrow inside the turtle, declaring it an obligation toward the departed.

Golden Wind ends with Mista opening the windows of a chamber in which several mafiosi bow to Giorno, the new head of Passione.

Manga/Anime Differences

 * In the anime, next to the turtle's body are: a yellow and a white flowers similar to the ones Giorno grew from respectively Abbacchio and Narancia's bodies, a zipper and a wine bottle the same brand as the one they drank in Venice.
