They are both blonde teenagers who have a connection to some sort of evil being, with Shulk being the chosen host of Zanza, and GioGio being the son of Dio Brando. Said connection granted them a special ability that very little people had, Shulk having the power to wield the Monado, and GioGio having a Stand. Ever since they discovered that power, they went on a journey where they continued to hone and evolve it, until their ability reached godlike power. Also, it has the Ultimate Offense vs. Ultimate Defense theme, with Shulk's Monado III having the power to kill gods, while Giorno's Gold Experience Requiem can cancel any attack used against it.
