History Characters / JoJosBizarreAdventureTeamBucciarati

* StealthPun: [[spoiler:After his death, Giorno uses Gold Experience's power to grow dandelions over the place where he died. In Italian, those flowers are called dente di ''leone.'']]

* TeensAreShort: Justified, despite being 17 his small stature was a result of childhood malnutrition thanks to living most of his life in the streets. His short stature is even more pronounced in ''Eyes of Heaven'', as he only comes about chest-high to the table in the Morioh café.

* VillainKiller: Whereas previous Jojo teams give most of their enemies a vicious beating, the gang consistently kills their enemies in brutal fashion, mostly because their enemies are also trying to kill ''them.'' Only Sale and Zucchero survived them, and ''only'' for interrogation.

* BigGood: Of ''Golden Wind'', arguably moreso than the starring JoJo himself.

* BerserkButton: He hates [[DrugsAreBad drugs]] as it is the reason why his father died due to him [[LeaveNoWitnesses being a witness to a drug deal and nearly getting eliminated]]. [[spoiler:His loyalty to Passione begins to fracture when he realizes the Boss allows drug smuggling in his organization.]]
** Betraying one's family could also qualify since [[spoiler:learning that Diavolo always intended to murder Trish to protect himself causes him to fully cut ties with Passione.]]

The leader of one of Passione's territorial gangs. He helps spur Giorno into joining Passione and acts somewhat as his adviser. Bucciarati is driven by his loyalty to the townspeople, as well as the desire to clean up crime in his division and his role as leader and protector of his troops. Completely serious 100% of the time, the only times he ever smiles are few and far in-between.

* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:He hates [[DrugsAreBad drugs]], as it is the reason why his father died due to him [[LeaveNoWitnesses being a witness to a drug deal]].]]
* BigGood: Of ''Golden Wind''.

** [[spoiler: The bad news is he's [[OurZombiesAreDifferent dead]] and won't be around for much longer. The good news is he's completely immune to Cioccolata's Green Day, one of the scariest and ''[[BodyHorror nastiest]]'' Stands in the series that works only on ''living'' things.]]
** [[spoiler:During the climax, Bucciarati switches bodies with Doppio/Diavolo thanks to Chariot Requiem. As his original body already deteriorated to the point where he could no longer walk or even stand in it, this allows him to rejoin the fight as the gang pursues the Arrow. He dies for good once he destroys Chariot Requiem, but he considers it a fair trade-off, as he was pretty much dead anyway and only needed to ensure Diavolo's defeat before he passed on.]]

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Giorno is the main hero of ''Golden Wind'', and his actions are what drive the plot and Bucciarati's motivations. However, Bucciarati's status as the leader of the group, his character arc, and his reputation/presence among Passione often puts him in positions of focus where Giorno can't be, and open doors that the fresh gangster couldn't dream of opening.

* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:While it becomes clear that he died after his initial encounter with Diavolo, something he reveals to only Giorno later on, the others presume he was lucky.]]
* DrugsAreBad: Believes this even more so than Giorno. Because of his father crossing paths with a drug dealer, he was killed, leading to Bucciarati blaming drugs for a majority of Italy's problems. He initially sees Passione as a pristine organization that prohibits such illicit material from making it into the hands of unwary citizens, but upon seeing a gangster possessing multiple bags of cocaine, his illusion is shattered, and he makes it his goal to take out the Boss and stop Italy from suffering drug peddling any longer.

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:In the last fight, he willingly sacrifices himself by destroying Chariot Requiem in front of Diavolo, preventing him from obtaining the arrow and somehow bestowing it onto Giorno before ascending to the afterlife]].
* EarlyPersonalitySigns: Even as a child, he was serious-minded and compassionate. As a 7-year-old, when his parents divorced, his mother offered to take him with her to live in the city, but he chose to live with his father to keep him from being lonely.

* EdibleThemeNaming: Bucciarati is alternately spelled "buccellati", which is a type of Italian cookie.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Had killed two gangsters with just a knife to protect his father at the age of twelve, and with no Stand power at the time! Once he got his Stand, he became one of the most competent fighters in Part 5.
* {{Expy}}: He's clearly inspired by the Zeppelis, particularly William from Part 1, albeit Bucciarati is not a MentorArchetype to Giorno as William had been to Jonathan (at least not when it comes to revealing and teaching the respective special abilities to their [=JoJos=]) but Bucciarati ticks most of Will Zeppeli's boxes. Most mature character of his part? AFatherToHisMen? Check and check. Dresses in white? Check. Born in Naples? Check. More experienced than their respective [=JoJo=] at the time of their introduction? [[spoiler:Dies in a sacrificial manner before the FinalBattle? Inexorably fated to die by an ill omen]]? Check, check, and check. There's even a plausible fan theory that Bucciarati may well be a distant descendant of the Zeppelis: Mario Zeppeli, Caesar's father, is mentioned to have had a sister, so while the Zeppeli lineage stopped being mentioned in the [=JoJoverse=] after Part 2 (pre-reboot), it might well have continued existing, albeit no longer relevant in the narrative.

* NonActionGuy: Ironically for the tallest and most heavily-built of Bucciarati’s gang, he doesn't fight most of the time, as his Stand is the only one out of the protagonists' that is not suited for combat. [[spoiler:It didn't stop him from beating Illuso into the ground the first chance he got during their battle.]]
** Averted in the ''Golden Wind'' video game though, where his only time of actually fighting was during the Man in The Mirror arc, where his playstyle consists mostly of hand-to-hand combat and using Moody Blues to repeat his actions. He was also close to being playable in ''[[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven Eyes of Heaven]]'', but [[WhatCouldHaveBeen was scrapped after the developers realized that his playstyle was too complicated to program]].

* CriminalFoundFamily: Team Bucciarati consists of several gangsters from the Passione [[TheSyndicate syndicate]], an expansive empire with influences all over Italy and the Mediterranean. The members all have consistently DarkAndTroubledPast{{s}} where they've been wronged by the people and systems in their lives. This ranges from Narancia being betrayed by his childhood friends to Abbacchio's betrayal by his time in the corrupt and ineffective police force. The gang all have a deep trust and respect in each other, and their ultimate goal is to take over Passione and turn it into a force of good for the people of Italy.

* LilliputianWarriors: The RC plane-sized Aerosmith also comes with an equally-small pilot referred to as Mr. Smith (or, more accurately "Smith-san" from [[WordOfGod the interview with Araki]][[/note]], though it's not clear what role Smith has in operating Aerosmith).

* MissingMom: His mother had passed away from an eye infection when he was ten.

* {{Motifs}}: Youth is one for Narancia's character. Being the shortest makes him look the youngest, he tells Giorno the newbie gangster is younger than him as if it was something that matters, his violent outbursts are temper tantrums, his Stand looks like a toy, and he looks up to Bucciarati as a father figure and has trouble making important decisions without him.

* UndignifiedDeath: A more serious example, unlike the JoJo allies who came before and after, Narancia doesn't get to go out like a badass. Instead, Diavolo silently assassinates him by skipping time and dropping him on a broken iron gate. Granted, this was because Narancia was the biggest threat at that moment due to his radar, but the poor kid was so determined to win the battle and return home a hero only to be snuffed out like nothing.

* RapeAsBackstory: In the anime, it is revealed that he was molested by his college professor, which led to him assaulting said professor with a textbook, getting expelled from university and disowned by his parents.

* TruthInTelevision: Purple Haze's virus doesn't seem too dissimilar from necrotizing fasciitis, an actual real life flesh eating disease. Don't look this one up if you're squeamish.

* PeekABangs: At least one of his eyes get covered by his bangs in more than one occasion.

* VibrantOrange: Narancia has orange as his theme color (and is even named after the Italian word for orange, ''arancia''), and is an excitable, energetic young boy.

* TheGunslinger: Whilst his Stand's ability to riochet his shots in whatever direction he wants helps, Mista is a gifted sharpshooter in his own right, his uncanny precision with a revolver supported by his ability to keep his cool even in the middle of a gunfight. For example, in the White Album fight, he shoots a metal screw to launch it in the air, then shoots the flying screw's head in such a way that it gets launched towards his enemy. Later that fight, he ricochets bullets off a lamppost to hit his target, while ''simultaneously'' using those bullets to carve a sharp spike out of the metal. ''Both of these feats are accomplished without using Sex Pistols to augment his firing skills.''

* AdaptationDyeJob: In the PS2 video game ''[=GioGio's=] Bizarre Adventure'', the colors of his hat are reversed, as the main part becomes blue and the arrow becomes red.

** Later on, when a random passerby starts yelling at Narancia for splashing him with wine, Narancia and Mista start beating him up, thinking he's one of Diavolo's assassins. Abbacchio gives them a disapproving look and calmly sips wine... before joining them.

* TheBigGuy: Though the group has other Stands which can be used to more destructive effect than Sex Pistols, Mista is designated as the team's hit-man. While many of Bucciarati's Team have other functions outside of fighting, Sex Pistols is applied purely as a combat Stand and Mista's major role is as the group's enforcer.

** Guido's strange mind is best reflected through his Stand- the reflection of his soul, Sex Pistols, who each have a defined personality quirk, inter-social relationships between each other, and Guido treats them like their own individuals. In comparison, the majority of Stands are silent guardians to their users with only a select few having a defined personality. Sex Pistols' unique nature shows how odd Guido is compared to people, let alone other Stand users.

* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Mista hates the number 4 and ends up working for a guy whose birthday is April 16, or 4/16.]]

* BadassBaritone: Particularly in the anime, courtesy of Creator/YuuichiNakamura in Japanese and Creator/RayChase in English which is different from the character he previously voiced in the same franchise, [[Manga/StardustCrusaders Rubber Soul]].
** In ''Eyes of Heaven'' and ''All-Star'', he was voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama, who is the same voice actor for Sasuke Uchiha from ''Naruto''. Compared to his anime counterpart, his voice is higher, but still badass nonetheless.
*** Don't get us started on his Stand Cry...

* BadassBaritone: As the oldest member of the group, the video game adaptations give him the deepest voice as well. In the anime, his voice is provided by Creator/JunichiSuwabe.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunichiSuwabe (TV anime, JP and ''[[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle All-Star Battle R]]''), Mick Lauer (TV anime, EN), Creator/TaitenKusunoki (''[[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle All-Star Battle]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven Eyes of Heaven]]''), Creator/TetsuInada (''Vento Aureo'' video game)

He is a Stand User and his Stand is Purple Haze (named after the Music/JimiHendrix song). Said to embody Fugo's darker nature, Purple Haze is almost uncontrollable and possesses a series of capsules on both fists that contain a deadly virus that infects and destroys organic matter in seconds and is indiscriminate to friend or foe, Fugo himself included, hence why he only brings his Stand out as a last resort or in extreme danger.

A member of Bucciarati's gang and one of the most mature and smart people in the group... at least until he loses his temper. With an IQ of 152, Fugo joined the Mafia after having problems in school due to his high intelligence and temper not matching well with teachers. He stars in both novels based off Part 5: Miya Shotaro's ''Golden Heart, Golden Ring'' and Kouhei Kadono's ''Literature/PurpleHazeFeedback''.

His Stand, Purple Haze (named after a Music/JimiHendrix song), is a hardly-controllable monster dressed similar to a Roman soldier. On both its fists are a set of three dome-shaped capsules; if these capsules break, whether it's from Purple Haze punching something or firing them like an air gun, they release an airborne virus that rapidly consumes the flesh of anyone within a five-meter radius. During the events of Kouhei Kadono's ''Purple Haze Feedback'' novel, [[spoiler:it evolves into Purple Haze Distortion, which modifies the viruses to eat each other. Fugo can take advantage of this by intentionally breaking a capsule near himself to give him a temporary resistance to viruses from the other capsules, as the viruses in his body will mutually consume each other and cancel out.]]

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The only backstory Fugo is given in the manga is that he was accepted into a university at the age of 13, only to be kicked out after attacking a teacher with an encyclopedia. ''Literature/PurpleHazeFeedback'' and the anime both expand upon this in different ways: in the light novel, the assault was motivated by the professor criticizing him for letting his grandmother's death affect his grades, while in the anime, the teacher was sexually harassing him, and Fugo only attacked him in self-defense. These differences can affect how his character is seen: the anime portrays Fugo as being much more in the right to have attacked his teacher, making him into an unlucky victim of a corrupt justice system, while in ''Purple Haze Feedback'' it can come across as DisproportionateRetribution, putting additional emphasis on his violent AntiHero status and the HairTriggerTemper aspect of his personality (though the anime also [[AdaptationExpansion adds a few scenes]] showing Fugo getting angry to compensate for this).
* AdaptationalSelfDefense: The manga mentions that he was expelled from university for beating his professor with a textbook, but does not elaborate. The anime makes the professor a pedophile who had been molesting him, making Fugo's act of lashing out at him more sympathetic.

* AxCrazy: As a result of his abusive upbringing, Fugo has suffered from fits of violent rage ever since he was young. It doesn't take much to set him off, as seen when he stabs Narancia in the face with a fork and them bashes his head against the table several times for solving a math problem incorrectly.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Fugo is decent person for someone who can break every bone in someone's body and ''then'' MakeThemRot.

* TheChessmaster: In ''Golden Heart, Golden Ring'', he manipulates Coniglio into frequently using her Stand by regularly unleashing Purple Haze around her while making sure to target a maximum of bystanders; as expected, and thanks to Figo encouraging her, Coni would use her Stand The Cure to absorb the bystanders' suffering to cure them from Purple Haze's virus. At the same time, [[spoiler:he doesn't tell his Passione accomplice [[TheHeavy Sogliola Lopez]] that Giorno is immune to Purple Haze. As a result, when Lopez hopes to use the now berserk Cure and has it unleash Purple Haze's suffering all over Venezia in an attempt to kill Team Bucciarati, he fails and Fugo leaves him to die against Bucciarati, having proven his loyalty both to Passione (by not actively rebelling against them and seeing his and Lopez's plan to its end even if it failed) and his former team (protecting them from Lopez).]]

** {{Averted}} in ''Golden Heart, Golden Ring'' : Fugo successfully manages to find a way to remain loyal to both the Boss and his former team even after leaving the latter.

* ADayInTheLimelight: A light novel called ''Purple Haze Feedback'' was written by Kouhei Kadono (of ''[[Literature/BoogiepopSeries Boogiepop]]'' fame) for the series' 25th anniversary. The novel greatly expands on Fugo's life and memories about his time in Passione after his [[AbortedArc abrupt disappearance]] from the original story.
* DeadlyGas: Purple Haze emits a lethal gas that would turn anyone into a pile of flesh in seconds.
* DisproportionateRetribution: How does he respond to [[BookDumb Narancia]] getting a math question wrong? [[EnragedByIdiocy Stab him in the face with a fork, of course]]. Going by how absolutely ''nobody'' in the team or the cafe reacts to it, this is apparently a common reaction of his.

* EnragedByIdiocy: ''Stabs Narancia with a fork'' for getting a fourth-grade level multiplication problem wrong.

* GodzillaThreshold: Purple Haze is treated as this in the main narrative. It's incredibly strong but difficult to control and its poison can indiscriminately kill any living thing; making him as much a danger to Fugo's allies and civilians as to his enemies. Abbacchio notes that that's why Fugo doesn't bring him out very often.
* HairTriggerTemper: He has a very short fuse, despite outwardly seeming very calm and mature. This aspect of him ended in him assaulting his professor with a textbook, and is reflected in his Stand going berserk and uncontrollable sometimes. ''Purple Haze Feedback'' interprets the incident with the professor as a consequence of said professor [[spoiler: making fun of Fugo for moping about the death of his grandmother (who had died a few days ago and whom Fugo was very close with).]] However, the anime adaptation creates an alternate version of the story where the teacher in question had been repeatedly molesting Fugo, and he finally had enough.

* {{Kiai}}: '''"UBASHAAAA! ABABABABABABABABABABABABAAAA!"'''

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: There is not a single character who does not like, love, admire, or at least respect Bucciarati. Because he is a kind person yet willing to be ruthless and efficient when he has to, he is respected by other members of Passione and receives UndyingLoyalty from the members of his gang. The townspeople in Naples like him so much that they'll willingly give him stuff for free while refusing payment, and an old woman comes to him for help when her friend's son is suffering from a drug problem. Polpo took a liking to him, [[spoiler:and even Diavolo was impressed by him before his betrayal]].

* NoSell: [[spoiler:In his undead state, he turns out to be immune to the mold produced by Cioccolata's Green Day, which only affects living things.]]
