** [[NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters Bruno Bucciarati]] is a charismatic gangster working for the Italian mafia, with hopes to upend the current vile system and replace it with his own organization, free of addictive drugs and monstrous operatives. Rising to the rank of Capo through his own tenacity and cleverness, Bucciarati uses his insanely loyal gang and allies with Giorno Giovanna to combat La Squadra Esecuzioni, outwitting all the enemies they face. Betraying "the Boss" Diavolo himself when the man tries to kill his daughter Trish, Bucciarati keeps a step ahead of powerful Diavolo in protecting Trish, survives a lethal blow for days through a combo of his own will and Giorno's power, and personally screws over Diavolo in the gang's climactic battle with him, Bucciarati using his last moments of life to secure Giorno's victory and urge him on in creating a new crime syndicate. One of the greatest partners a "[=JoJo=]" ever had, [[AFatherToHisMen who inspired a familial care in his entire gang]] through his compassion and levelheadedness, Bucciarati played the largest role possible in helping Giorno secure his dream to be a "gang-star."
** [[ProfessionalKiller Risotto Nero]] is the [[RankScalesWithAsskicking leader]] of La Squadra Esecuzioni, Passione's rogue assassination team. After his team was sent the mutilated corpses of two of their members as a warning, Risotto and his team decide to betray Passione. Finding out about Trish, the Boss' daughter, Risotto comes up with a plan to kidnap her to find out about the Boss' identity. Risotto tracks down the heroes at every turn, torturing a Passione member to reconstruct a photo of their next location when he temporarily loses track of them. Later when all of his men are killed, Risotto hides out at Sardinia, correctly deducing that Trish will be returning there. Upon confronting Doppio, Risotto brings him to near death with a variety of tactics before the Boss tricks Narancia into shooting the unexpected Risotto. However, [[DefiantToTheEnd even upon death's door]], Risotto takes control of Aerosmith [[TakingYouWithMe attempting to have it shoot both him and the Boss to death]], a move that even the Boss [[WorthyOpponent praises him for]].
** [[ConsummateProfessional Prosciutto]] is a member of La Squadra Esecuzioni, and the [[BigBrotherMentor mentor]] of the timid Pesci. Tasked with kidnapping Trish, Prosciutto tracks Bucciarati's team to a train and uses his Stand to [[RapidAging rapidly age everyone on the train]] to draw out the heroes, knowing that Trish will be spared due to her lower body temperature slowing down the aging. Aging himself up to disguise himself as a helpless victim of the stand, Proscuiutto ambushes Mista right when he's about to kill Pesci and rapidly ages and incapacitates him, [[MakeSureHesDead shooting him in the head to ensure Mista's death.]] Even when on the brink of death after his fight with Bucciarati, [[{{Determinator}} Prosciutto uses the last minutes of his life to hang on to the bottom of the train and continue using his Stand]], entrusting Pesci to finish the job. Cunning and inspiring, Prosciutto's belief in Pesci leads him to gain confidence in himself, [[NearVillainVictory resulting in Pesci nearly killing all of the heroes]].

** [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureKars Kars]] is the leader of [[HumanoidAbomination the Pillar Men]], a group that seeks the Red Stone of Aja so as to become immune to the sunlight that harms them and reign as the "{{ultimate lifeform}}s." Awakening in the present day after centuries of slumber, Kars dispatches his loyal friends Wammuu and Esidisi to search for the Red Stone, and [[PetTheDog showcases his love for nature and its creatures]] when he murders a group of men who tried to kill a dog. Manipulating Joseph into assisting him in his quest for the stone by threatening the life of Lisa Lisa, promising to play fair only to use pragmatic tricks to win the day, Kars obtains the Red Stone of Aja, using it to [[AGodAmI become a god]]. Kars gives Joseph the fight of his life, as he constantly adapts to each and every thing the Hamon user throws at him, until he is finally outwitted and blasted into space only by sheer luck on Joseph's part.

Having covered up and later taking the fall for Jobin's AccidentalMurder of his own bully when he was a kid, she teached him into taking priority of his family over everything, which would lead him up into being involved with the Locacaca conspiracy to cure the family's curse, which involved the eldest son always being killed by a mysterious illness. Having served her time in jail, she makes it clear that she plans to take her reward for sacrificing so much for her family, often giving Jobin guidance with his plans. In the final battle, after her son Jobin was killed, she steps up into the fight between [[Characters/JojosBizarreAdventureToru Tooru]] and the heroes by calmly bypassing the immaculately powerful "Wonder of U", holds him down, and uses the new version of the Locacaca to bypass the family's curse unto Tooru, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu killing him once and for all]]. Although she ends up killed by Tooru's power, she acknowledges it, and ends up being succesful on carrying out her son's mission.

** [[TheStoic Santana]] is the first Pillar Man fought by Joseph Joestar, and just as cunning as his brethren. Pretending to be stupid and feeding off a vampire to regain his powers, Santana quickly adapts to bring down the Nazis that awakened him; cleverly using his own powers to contort and reshape his body to sneak around the base and methodically dispatch the Nazis with brilliant tactics like using their own firearms against them, Santana then attacks Joseph Joestar and Rudol von Stroheim. Even after Joseph explodes him from within, Santana manages to insert himself into Stroheim's body to continue the fight, [[VillainousValor showing terrifying persistence]] as he continues to evade the sunlight through determination and quick thinking, until Joseph finally manages to use the sun's reflection to turn the relentless Pillar Man to stone.
