WELL!!!! Ok, so the main power in Jojo (now) is the usage of stands which is pretty much the manifestation of their fighting spirit or whatever and gives users certain abilities and it’s really fun to analyze how stands relate to their users personality-wise, but that’s something else entirely. Let it be known that only stand users can physically see, sense, and hear stands interacting with the world. So while stands fights are going on and being wild and stuff, normal people just see the aftermath of effects (keep this in mind).
Giorno’s power is literally and at its base the creation of new life via Gold Experience (his stand). However, what he does exactly is basically a callback to other powers namely in part 1 and part 2 (this is one of the reasons why interacting with the series chronologically is important) namely Kars (the originator of vampirism in the series / an immortal and very beautiful pillar man) and Dio (another vampire and Giorno’s dad) and Jonathan’s hamon (Jonathan is also Giorno’s other dad but like in a weird way via antics and nefarious schemes).
Kars’s powers are cellular manipulation for creating and alternating life which is basically Giorno’s main power since, ya know, he is creating little animals and speeding up the growth of things and making new body parts and whatnot when needed. This is why he’s so adamant that his powers aren’t healing; he is just replacing missing parts with other parts; he’s not really healing anything but it works out.
Dio’s power is time manipulation, basically, and that’s shown through how Giorno is able to slow down people’s mental processes by speeding up time for them so that everything is too fast to keep up with and causes them to freeze in place. (He kinda just fills their body with so much energy that it gets weird for them.) This actually can go more in-depth and absolutely wild, but that is spoiler territory.
Jonathan’s ability, hamon, is based around the sun and Giorno is a boy with so much sun imagery surrounding him it’s ridiculous. At one point, Jonathan is shown being able to bloom flowers with his hamon since it is harnessing the power of the sun, and accelerating the growth of plants is something that Giorno can do. So I like to see this more as a Jonathan callback than a Kars callback when it comes to the plants.
I call him a minor god in jest, but to someone who isn’t aware of stands, Giorno is very much close to a minor deity with how much he can do. Also if you take in the fact that he’s technically a dhampir in everything but abilities then sure, why not.
