The First Mission From the Boss (Episode)

First Orders From the Boss (ボスからの第一指令) is the ninth episode of Golden Wind and the one hundred twenty second episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime. The episode covers from Chapter 468 to Chapter 471 of the original manga.

Summary
After Guido Mista's victory over Sale, Team Bucciarati gathers inside one of the restrooms of Capri. In here, Pannacotta Fugo gives Mista a crude first aid by stapling his wound, which shocks but also amuses Mista and Narancia Ghirga. Just as Bruno Bucciarati prepares to announce where Polpo's treasure is located, he is interrupted by to oncoming janitors. Narancia tries to tell them off, but the younger janitor antagonizes Narancia and a fight ensues. The scuffle is defused when the second janitor reveals himself, Bruno recognizing the much respected capo, Pericolo.

Pericolo has come to Capri on Bruno's request to examine Polpo's treasure. To the team's surprise, Bruno has hidden it in the walls of the restroom with his zippers. Upon examination, Pericolo deems the jewels to be worth billions of liras in the market and to reward Bruno's contribution, makes him officially a capo.

However, Pericolo then explains that The Boss of Passione has immediate orders from him: he must protect his daughter, none other than the young janitor who was in fact disguised. Pericolo explains that The Boss's daughter is named Trish Una, although the family name comes from the mother. Trish is a bastard child whose mother was once lover with the Boss, then operating under the alias of Solido Naso. Although the Boss left Trish's mother behind, she recently fell ill, and sensing her impending death, began to investigate "Solido Naso" which caught the attention of the gang, but more alarmingly the attention of a rogue team who plans to overthrow the Boss. The latter immediately has sensed she was her child and has ordered her to be secured, but the rogue team is currently trailing her, and Team Bucciarati must now bodyguard her until the traitors are dealt with. Because the tasks was originally Polpo's to fulfill, Bruno worriedly deducts that the rogue team must be a group of Stand Users.

Pericolo then leaves Bruno while Trish, who's gone to the restrooms and changed clothes, reappears. She asks Fugo for his jacket, and conceitedly swipes her hands on it before listing several instructions showing her as a spoiled girl with luxurious tastes. Departing from Capri with the rest, Giorno privately thinks that safeguarding Trish is now his best bet to approach the Boss, although failure will certainly mean death. Meanwhile, one of the operatives from the rogue group, Formaggio, discusses online the consequences of Polpo's death. Polpo was supposed to handle Stand-related business, but his death means that another capo will be guarding her.

Some time later, the group has relocated into a countryside hideout. Bruno sends Narancia in town to buy groceries alone, despite Fugo's reservations about him being able to avoid being trailed. However, Abbacchio explains that with Narancia's Stand ability, it will be easy for him to detect any pursuer. After the groceries are done and Narancia puts the bags inside his car, he checks the street but then notices Formaggio who has mysteriously appeared inside his car. Narancia tries to play dumb against Formaggio's insistent questioning and falsely affable attitude, until the rogue assassin summons his Stand Little Feet to claw Narancia's face.

Angry, Narancia unleashes his own Stand Aerosmith, a miniature plane that flies inside the car, and begins to fire everywhere inside the car. Formaggio understands how powerful yet imprecise Aerosmith is, but that he is at a disadvantage in a cramped space. When Aerosmith launches a bomb, he is forced to use his power and disappears in the explosion of the bomb while Narancia kicks the car in anger. Suddenly, Narancia's shoes falls off. Meanwhile, Formaggio has used his Little Feet to shrink himself and sneakily jumps into Narancia's pocket. Unfortunately, Formaggio spots the women's items Narancia has bought and easily deduces that Bruno is indeed guarding Trish. Narancia, shrinking at a slow pace, will soon be at a disadvantage.
