I've noticed a few examples in the Manga that would upgrade some Part 5 characters.
In terms of human (non-Stand) durability, the protagonists of Part 5 currently have either Wall level (Bruno, Abbachio, Mista, Narancia, Fugo) or Street level (Giorno, Trish) durability.
However, we see numerous examples of Bruno's durability scaling to Building level stands throughout the manga:
1. Got punched directly at least 3 times by Gold Experience in their fight . Bruno even states after the second punch that Giorno is fighting seriously and aiming to kill him .
2. Got hit directly by King Crimso at least twice . While it's been confirmed by the Rolling Stones arc that he would've died without Giorno healing him afterwards, Bruno still managed to survive , move around and fight for several moments before succumbing to the wounds, so it should probably scale.
3. Got hit directly by Secco at least 2 times, possibly 3 .
There's also examples of other Part 5 protagonists having similar levels of durability:
- Giorno takes a direct rush of punches from Sticky fingers . It might seem it's Bruno doing the punches but he's using Sticky Finger's arms so it should scale to that.
- Mista survives having his own bullets reflected back at him so often it's practically a meme at this point . His profile doesn't scale this to his durability and points out how his bullets always perforate him, which I think implies that because the bullets pass through him normally, he doesn't scale and only survives the bullets due to their small area of impact only hitting non-vital areas. However, there's this moment in the Pesci fight, where Beach Boy "reflects" Mista's bullet back at him and he survives with minor injuries . Keep in mind, he's reflecting the power of the bullet, and not the bullet itself (so the above reasons for not scaling wouldn't apply); there are no bullet holes in Mista and Pesci claims he reflected the "shock" of the bullet into the inside of Mista's body , which causes him to bleed a bit but otherwise survive.
- Abbachio has been confirmed to be the physically toughest member of the gang so his human durability should scale. This is in-line with Abbachio's portrayal as the oldest, physicallly largest and easily the most combat-experienced member of the gang.
On top of this, there's an example that ties this all together by implying their human durability is roughly equal. During their fight with Squalo/Tiziano, there's a moment where Bruno, Mista, Abbachio, Narancia and Giorno all get caught up in the same explosion. They're all visibly hurt and blown back by the explosion but all survive it relatively fine , which implies they should roughly have the same level of durabiltiy to be damaged by but survive the same explosion. It's important to note that Stand-users with Building level human durability is nothing new in JoJo. In fact, most protagonists in Part 3, 4 and 6 have it, making Part 5's previous durabilities the outlier here if anything.
This by extension upgrades a few stands in Part 5. Namely Clash, Aerosmith and Little Feet:
- Clash is able to harm Bruno, Mista and Abbachio and is shown harming/subduing Giorno throughout the fight (it's implied he would've finished Giorno off if Narancia didn't keep chasing after them). This would put Clash at Building level AP. Clash is speed-blitzing the 3 of them in that panel, so I would say it also scales Clash's speed to their MFTL reaction speeds. Yes, it's true they were distracted when it happened and looking in the opposite direction, but this wasn't just one opponent; Clash managed to blitz all 3 of them sepperately before any of them could react or summon their stands.
- Aerosmith's bullets are able to harm Giorno, putting it at Building level AP. It's also shown harming Clash several times throughout the fight and Clash's durability would likely scale to its AP, due to withstanding its own physical attacks. Aerosmith's speed would also scale to Clash, making it MFTL. It's a bit trickier with durability though. Aersosmith has barely an examples of scaling when it comes to durability, and its power output isn't usually from physical attacks so it's dubious if its AP would scale to durability. However, the propeller being used to harm Clash could be seen as a physical attack, but I'm not too sure if it would count. At the very least we could use the feat where it crashes through a wall to keep its durability at Wall level.
It goes without saying Narancia's human durability would scale to the squad due to the explosion example and the multiples times where Clash harms him and he survives, also making it Building level.
- Little Feet's AP would scale to Narancia's durability, due to harming them physically , making it Building level. Their speed would also scale, making it MFTL. I'm also not too sure about durability here as Little Feet dies right after Aerosmith shoots it, but it being able to deflect the bullets might count. Formaggio's own durability is also difficult to work out considering he, Narancia and their stands have inconsisent sizes throughout the fight.
I looked it up and from what I understand none of this would change anything for Fugo or Trish's stats. It could end up upgrading some enemies in Part 5 but I haven't checked. - Edit: Prosciutto tanked getting punched by Sticky Fingers but they mentioned it was weaker than usual. - Edit 2: Risotto managed to survive for a few moments after being shot several times by Aerosmith but he was on the verge of dying.
