Enrico Pucci (Stands: Whitesnake, C-Moon, Made In Heaven)

Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (TV anime JP, All-Star Battle R), Yong Yea (TV anime EN), Tomoe Hanba (Child, TV anime JP), Anjali Kunapaneni (Child, TV anime EN), Show Hayami (All-Star Battle), Joji Nakata (Ultra Jump CM, Eyes of Heaven)
Whitesnake/C-Moon voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (TV anime JP, All-Star Battle R), Yong Yea (TV anime EN), Takuya Kirimoto (All-Star Battle), Yasunori Masutani (Eyes of Heaven)

"The Joestar Bloodline, as to be expected, they drew strength from their pride and courage, and came together to conquer their fate. However, that connection through blood is also their weakness. Jotaro Kujo, your greatest weakness is your daughter."

"The true difference between human and an animal is nothing less than whether or not they desire to go to Heaven after they die. People should live their lives in such a manner they'll be let into Heaven. For that is... the beauty inherent in the nature of human kind."

The mysterious assailant who stole Jotaro's Memory and Stand discs, a Catholic priest who serves as Green Dolphin Street Prison's chaplain. Pucci was DIO's dearest disciple, and seeking to attain DIO's idea of Heaven, he engineered the framing of Jolyne so that Jotaro would come visit her in jail. This gives Pucci the opportunity to steal the memories of Jotaro, the only person who read DIO's personal notes before destroying them.

He is named after the fashion designers Enrico Coveri and Emilio Pucci.

A — F

• Adaptational Dye-Job: In the manga, his robe mostly has a purple coloring. In the anime, it's full-on black.
• Affably Evil: While treacherous and insane, Pucci is pretty good-humored and polite even to his enemies, and genuinely believes his actions will benefit everyone. When he gets pissed, it's always because he's being pushed or, by the end of the series, has become deranged, and he doesn't bother to hide it. He's also unaware of the evils he commits, something Weather Report deems as the "worst kind of evil".
• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: On two occasions, though on both instances, it's less out of cowardice and more because he believes that he alone could achieve Heaven:
  • When Weather Report has him at his mercy, Pucci tries at appealing to their ties as brothers to spare him, citing that Pucci let Weather Report be after stealing his memories as an example of his well-intentioned goals. This only earns Weather's disgust because of how Pucci was completely oblivious of his wrongdoings, which in his eyes was the worst kind of evil.
  • His last action in Stone Ocean consists of begging Emporio, a child he had tried to kill moments before, for his life. If he dies before the cycle is complete, he won't achieve Heaven. He even tells Emporio that he would gladly allow the latter to kill him, as long it's after he went to Cape Canaveral and completed the plan.
    Pucci: No, you have to end this, Emporio! You can still stop Weather! Do not let him do this...! After I finally obtained the ability I worked so hard for! God wished it to be so! It was an ability that God chose for me to possess! A new history of humanity will be born, and the future of mankind will be saved! We haven't even reached the point in time yet, where time acceleration started in Cape Canaveral. Made In Heaven has yet to be completed. As long as it's after Cape Canaveral, I will gladly sacrifice my life! But if I die now, it will mean that everything I've done thus far would have been utterly meaningless! The fate of all humanity will be changed forever! If I die, people won't be able to see their future as it happens before them, which means they won't be able to face their fate! Don't you remember?! Accepting their fate is how they'll be truly happy! It was my mission to bring true happiness! I cannot die here!
• All for Nothing: All of the sacrifices and plans made by DIO and Pucci are rendered meaningless when Emporio kills Pucci as Made In Heaven prepares to finish resolving, but before its changes can become set. He is fully aware of this and even attempts to beg Emporio to spare his life until he completes the loop, saying he would be fine with dying once his task is done, only for Emporio to slap him in the face that his fate is ultimately to succumb to this because of his own actions. The resultant cosmic snap-back erases Pucci from existence entirely and (mostly) restores the heroes (including the Joestars, who Pucci took it upon himself to erase) not just to life, but to a much happier state of being.
• Ambiguously Brown:
  • Although Pucci is consistently drawn with darker features than anyone else in the manga and is thus suggested by the artwork to be an African American, everyone else in his family including both parents and his siblings are shown to be light-skinned and explicitly described by other characters as looking white, and outside of a comment on his distant relation to an Italian pope his heritage is left ambiguous. Confusing matters is that, in a similar situation to Avdol, while Araki consistently depicts him as dark-skinned in the manga, images colored directly by him are less consistent, with some pictures depicting him as having light skin like Jolyne while others show him to be visibly darker than her.
  • The anime adaptation makes an active effort to avert this by giving Pucci's father a Race Lift, making his skin the exact same tone as Pucci's and implying that Pucci is biracial and takes after his Black father.
• Ambiguously Gay: On the one hand, Araki has stated in an interview that he did not have any romantic undertones in mind when writing Pucci, the same one where he confirms DIO's bisexuality and desire to romantically pursue anyone who earns his respect no less. DIO himself states that he is drawn to Pucci as a worthwhile friend specifically because of Pucci's exceptionally strong self-control and selflessness, noting that he's the kind of person who would not give into greed or sexual temptation, which suggests that Pucci is asexual. On the other hand, several scenes depict them in exceptionally intimate and sensual circumstances, such as a flashback with both of them lounging partially-undressed in bed together^note Though it has been stated DIO and Pucci were just hanging out as close friends do, rather than anything sexual, and their relationship is filled with More Experienced Chases the Innocent subtext as well as Shout Outs to the explicitly-romantic Whitesnake song "Still of the Night". Further complicating matters is that in Japanese, Pucci describes the love he has for both DIO and God with the term "aishiteiru", which is often reserved for especially intense expressions of love, encompassing both platonic and romantic declarations.
• Anime Hair: It forms long connections to his Unusual Eyebrows, and eventually grows angular sideburns and forms a strange star outline on his forehead.
• Anti-Villain: By all accounts, Pucci is not a bad person at heart. His Start of Darkness was the result of a grave oversight, and he does what he does for what he believes is the good of everyone; not for any sort of selfish desires. Unfortunately, what Pucci does causes much more harm than it does good.
• Arch-Enemy: Despite his good intentions, Pucci has managed to earn the ire of the majority of the heroes.
  • Emporio, whose mother was killed by Pucci via taking her Stand disc in his effort to build up his arsenal to fight the Joestars and set up the Heaven plan. It becomes even more personal as he personally kills every single one of the comrades he's gained, leading to the boy killing the man himself.
  • Jolyne Cujoh, whom he had set up to be imprisoned in order to lure out her father. Her initial mission is to retrieve her father's Stand and Memory discs, as well as killing Pucci. It becomes more personal as he kills F.F. and Weather Report, culminating in him personally killing her along with the rest of her comrades except for Emporio.
  • Jotaro Kujo. He targets Jotaro to both gain the information of DIO's Heaven plan in his Memory disc, as well as revenge for the loss of his comrade, DIO, which he would later fully commit when he kills Jotaro along with his daughter. From Jotaro's perspective, Pucci's use of Jolyne as bait and later placing a Sadistic Choice onto the man to either kill him or save Jolyne made him a very personal enemy.
  • F.F. He had created them to be his guard dog, but when they develop gratitude and a sense of justice with Jolyne, they personally challenge him in order to get even with him, even if it leads to their death.
  • Weather Report has the most personal grudge of the heroes, due to Pucci and himself being revealed as long-lost twins. Pucci impulsively and unknowingly ruined his and their sister, Perla's, lives via a lynch by a corrupt Klansman cop, leading to the latter's death. When Weather attempted revenge, Pucci removed his Memory disc. Without his memories, Weather saw Pucci as just an important enemy to defeat, but upon having his memories returned, Weather resumes his revenge on Pucci, nearly killing him before being distracted by Jolyne, leading to Pucci killing him. He then posthumously avenges himself and his fallen comrades via Emporio taking Weather's Stand disc in order to deal the finishing blow to Pucci.
• Avenging the Villain: His primary reason for fighting the Joestars is to avenge DIO's death, though it has more to do with Villainous Friendship than Blind Obedience, let alone Undying Loyalty.
• Badass Family: Both he and his brother, aka, Weather Report are very strong Stand users.
• Badass Longrobe: The garment he's wearing is a mix of a priest's cassock and a greatcoat, and it helps to underscore his nature as a Badass Preacher. Though, sometimes it's drawn in the manga as a black dress-like garment and a tight fitting shirt with matching designs, depending on Araki's mood.
• Badass Preacher: He's the Big Bad of Stone Ocean and just so happens to be a priest.
• Batman Gambit: Pucci is very successful in achieving his plans due to being able to understand the heroes' inherent compassion to one another and willingness to save the other person, even at the cost of the greater objective. Pucci often sets up a Sadistic Choice where the life of the person the attacker cares about is danger and allowing Pucci to get away, with the former option always chosen.
• Best Served Cold: He waited 23 years to get revenge on Jotaro for killing his beloved Dio and set the Heaven Plan into motion. To put that in perspective, during that time Jotaro grew from high school student to divorced marine biologist with a daughter already in adulthood herself.
• Big Bad: Of Stone Ocean. He takes it upon himself to reach his and DIO's idea of Heaven. Also notable that he is the first main antagonist in the series to have a goal that isn't evil at all and is much more sympathetic.
• Big Brother Instinct: He genuinely loved his little sister Perla, and was proud of her to hear that she found loved. Upon realizing that her lover is their long-lost brother, he secretly tries to break them up without letting Perla come to any harm. Upon seeing that she committed suicide, he runs up to her carcass, cradles her in his arms, and begs to the heavens for his life to have been taken instead of hers.
• Big, Screwed-Up Family: He and his brother, Wes Bluemarine (born Domenico Pucci, but known by this part's Joestar Group as Weather Report), were separated at birth, which eventually resulted in Brother–Sister Incest with the latter becoming a couple with their younger sister. Pucci was understandably worried about this.
• Black Dude Dies First: Inverted; he's the last major character to die.
• Blank White Eyes: As Weather Report is crushing his head, both of his irises are destroyed, leaving him with empty white eyes.
• Byronic Hero: A tragic figure with a Dark and Troubled Past that made him wonder why people have to suffer, which eventually led him to being corrupted by DIO and becoming a Knight Templar.
• Cain and Abel:
  • The Abel to Wes Bluemarine's Cain. He's shy, reserved and emotionally withdrawn, contrasted nicely with his brother's outgoing and confident demeanour. In a twist, Pucci ends up the victor in their duel, only to be killed later by Wes' Stand, Weather Report.
  • He also gradually inverts as he's influenced by DIO to be more manipulative and underhanded, while Wes Bluemarine, now Weather Report, becomes more serious and compassionate. Pucci becoming the Cain to Weather Report's Abel, a reversal of their initial alignments.
• Cessation of Existence: It's implied that because Emporio killed him before the effects of Made in Heaven were able to complete the cycle and reach Cape Canaveral, the universe restarted again, preserving the souls of those who died and removing their precognition, but without Pucci's influence, as if he never existed. It's also possible that like his victims, he ended up becoming reborn into a completely different person.
• Character Development:
  • He starts off rather withdrawn, even coming off as unsure of his ability to achieve heaven, and many of his minions in the prison even talk back to him aggressively. As the tide starts to turn in his favor, he becomes far more confident and headstrong, best exemplified by the way he commands and orders around DIO's sons. By the end he has gone off the deep end, having become a violent, overconfident and obsessed Knight Templar.
  • This is reflected with his Stand's gradual lessening of personality. Whitesnake is initially his mouthpiece to act the more intimidating and confident part to the agents in order to not be discovered. When he merges with the Green Baby, Pucci gains more confidence to be able to give commands to DIO's three sons in person, and by the time he's gained C-Moon with Made In Heaven following soon after, he's taken charge as a confident enemy to go after the heroes head on. The Stand itself loses its scornful personality, becoming more robotic as C-Moon, and ending with Made In Heaven with a voiceless, stern demeanor like most Stands.
• Character Tic: He counts off prime numbers when losing due to their indivisibility giving him a sense of security. Interestingly, we actually see him develop this habit during the story in reaction to all the stress, and being new to it, he has a bit of trouble figuring out the larger prime numbers.
• The Chessmaster: Pucci uses various prisoners and prison staff in Green Dolphin Street Prison as Unwitting Pawns in order to lure in his enemies to a disadvantage or act as blockades to Jolyne's group while he completes a section of his master plan. He will often do this by either inserting a specific Stand disc suited for the pawn to engage with his enemies, or by using outside influences, like money or loyalty to DIO, to get them to do what he wants. Justified, as unlike DIO, Pucci doesn't have the vast amount of agents subservient to him to throw at the heroes, and often has to meticulously seek out individuals in advance to set up the situations in which they will fight the heroes.
• Churchgoing Villain: Pucci is a priest and deems himself to be one of God's agents, committing numerous atrocities while thinking he is doing it in God's name.
• Clean Cut: He manages to kill Jotaro and Ermes merely by cutting through them with Made In Heaven after slicing their face and arms.
• Cold Ham: While Pucci's speeches can get pretty bombastic, he hardly if ever breaks his stoic demeanor.
• Collector of the Strange: Pucci has collected a large number of Stand discs over the years just in case one of them will come in handy sometime. He stores the ones he doesn't need in a farmhouse with Foo Fighters guarding them.
• The Comically Serious: He is mostly reserved and serious most of the time, but not even he is immune to the typical zaniness the franchise is known for. One scene has him show off eating a cherry without removing the seeds from the stem. Another has him use Whitesnake to transform Guccio's body into a loudspeaker blaring out music, prompting him to spread his arms out in reverence. A third is him being annoyed with frogs on his $800 pants.
• Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Fittingly for the original continuity's Final Boss, Pucci contrasts with every other Big Bad from various angles.
  • Diavolo hid from view as best he could and had unconventional, inscrutable motives. The most we knew of him is that he really, really didn't want to be known about. Pucci, on the other hand, hides in plain sight as a kindly priest and has more relatable motives, having turned evil through tragedy and poisonous friends. Made especially blatant in this instance by "Diavolo" being the Italian word for devil, and Pucci's occupation as a holy man. Both Diavolo and Pucci despise the concept of Fate. But while Diavolo constantly tries to run from his fate at any cost, Pucci accepts it as an inevitability and instead tries to bring happiness by making people aware of their own fate. Pucci's Whitesnake narratively functions similarly to King Crimson, acting as Pucci's mouthpiece like King Crimson does with Diavolo. Unlike King Crimson, however, Whitesnake seems to possess a personality of its own, acting independently from Pucci.
  • Diavolo's past is a vague enigma with contradictory elements that are never made clear, his love for Donatella is ambiguous at best, and he cares for his family very little, as it's implied he killed his mother and surrogate father to hide his identity. Pucci, on the other hand, loved his family, with his sister's demise being the Cynicism Catalyst for his later actions, and even when his vengeful, long-lost twin brother came after him, Enrico opted to remove his Memory disc to avoid killing him, and when the situations forced Wes to have his memories returned, Enrico is forced to kill him in order to stop Heavy Weather from potentially destroying everything while regrettably treating him as an enemy. Not to mention, his loyalty to DIO and desire to avenge his death is born out of Villainous Friendship.
  • Diavolo's connection to DIO is only by coincidence, with him granting the Arrow that allowed DIO to gain The World and by proxy, Giorno having Gold Experience. Pucci, on the other hand, is a direct follower of DIO, entrusted with his most intimate plans and dedicates his life to avenging his fallen comrade after the latter dies to the Joestars.
  • Diavolo's goals are mostly to remain a shadowy apex and later maintain it with the Requiem Arrow, whilst amorally ruling the nation of Italy through drugs. Enrico Pucci's goals are well-intentioned, with the end result being the removal of trauma from a convoluted plan to reset the universe to have everyone experience their entire lifetime. He was described as oblivious to his actual malign actions, making friends with the Obviously Evil DIO, and his actions inadvertently ruining his siblings' lives.
    • While Diavolo's goal to evolve his Stand via the Stand Arrow failed due to the actions of the heroes, Pucci's Stand managed to evolve not just once, but twice.
  • Pucci and Yoshikage Kira have Stands that start off as moderately powerful compared to the heroes, relying on trickery to get ahead, but eventually gain a power-boost that allows them to temporally overcome the heroes. Yoshikage Kira is a self-centered sociopath who passes off any care for others as instinctive to maintain his identity, is primarily a loner, has a Stand with a diverse, but limited array of offensive capabilities and his ultimate power is an automatic defense, which is convoluted enough that it can backfire on him under the right conditions. Pucci, on other hand, is a Well-Intentioned Extremist whose only initial faults are trusting DIO to be a positive influence and his own impulsive decisions leading to the suffering of his family before becoming a manipulator who discards even the sons of his friend if they prove no longer useful or a hinderance in the present, had a sister he loved whose death caused him to become a fatalist, has a friendship with DIO that may or may not have been mutual, and has a support-type Stand with versatile abilities that gradually evolves into more singular abilities, such as gravity inversion, and finally, time-acceleration as its ultimate power.
  • Pucci and Kars both acted in the name of what they believed to be right, with Pucci wanting what was best for the entire universe, and Kars wanting what was best for his race. They also both manage to gain powers that border on godlike-levels by the end, with Kars removing any and all weaknesses that could kill him on top of instantaneous adaptability to his opponents' genetic makeup, and Pucci gaining the ability to move at infinite speed levels depending on how long Made In Heaven is activated for and having the ability to reach the end of the universe. However, their sense of nobility greatly differs, as Kars committed mass genocide on his people when they didn't share his beliefs, leaving him and three other Pillar Men as the few survivors, and while Pucci does kill those who oppose him, it's only done when it's pragmatic towards his goals, and it doesn't matter how many people disagree with his idea of Heaven, he'll gift it to them regardless.
  • Both Pucci and DIO were exposed to a toxic influence that turned them into unrepentant villains (Dario for DIO, DIO for Pucci), but they turned out pretty differently from one another. DIO dressed in bright gold to make him the center of attention, whereas Pucci wears dark robes and is pretty nondescript. DIO is loaded to the brim with bombast and is not afraid to show it, while Pucci maintains his calm demeanor even while getting bombastic.
• Crazy-Prepared: Has collected numerous Stand discs over the years just in case they might come in handy for his plan.
• Create Your Own Hero: After Pucci uses Jolyne as bait to get to Jotaro, and steals Jotaro's discs, Jolyne becomes determined to get her father's discs back and causes Pucci to realize exactly how badly he underestimated her.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: He is defeated when Emporio, using both Burning Down the House and Weather Report's Stand disc, traps himself and Pucci in the Ghost Room with an increased, lethal level of oxygen in the air that affects Pucci faster than it does Emporio due to Made in Heaven's time acceleration ablities. Pucci is left in pain, pleading to Emporio to let him complete restarting the universe before killing him, all while his head is pinned down by Weather Report's fist; after some words between them, Emporio beats Pucci to death with Weather Report, crushing Pucci's head in the process. On top of that, it appears that Pucci wound up getting erased from the universe due to being killed before the complete restart of the universe.
• Cruel Mercy: After confronting and defeating Wes, Enrico erases his memories and gets him put in prison where he can rot for the rest of his days, both unaware as to his own identity as well as having no reason to look for or oppose the priest. He later claims that this was due to wanting to find a way to "absolve" Wes in due time, but considering he's only seconds away from death when he shouts this, it's clear that was not the case.
• Curb Stomp Cushion: Upon awakening Made In Heaven, Pucci was able to blitz through most of the heroes, even with Jotaro's Time Stop being useless against him. However, the heroes were able to find an opening. Had Pucci not forced Jotaro to make a Sadistic Choice between seizing that opening and saving Jolyne, they might have won. Even when that failed and most of the heroes were dead, Jolyne was able to injure one of his eyes by catching him off guard.
• Cynicism Catalyst: His overall Freudian Excuse for his actions along with his Villainous Friendship to DIO. He indirectly caused his younger sister's death in an attempt to keep her from unwittingly starting a romantic relationship with his long-lost twin brother Wes Bluemarine, which he then attributed to the power of fate and became DIO's follower.
• Death by Irony: His demise at the hands of Emporio is fittingly ironic, in two ways.
  • Firstly, it's his ability to insert discs into targets, which he's done to make pawns to use, that causes him to unwittingly insert Weather Report's disc into Emporio through trickery on the latter's part, leading to his death.
  • Secondly, Pucci dies not due to the blood feud of the Joestar/Brando lineage, but due to his own past unrelated to the Joestars, namely the killing of Emporio's mother to gain her Stand disc and his well-intentioned, but horribly botched, plan to spare his sister from heartache, which led to his long-lost twin wanting revenge, that caused his demise.
• Determinator: He is incredibly dangerous due to an uncanny ability to find another way to fight despite being faced with defeat.
• Didn't Think This Through: A Fatal Flaw of Pucci.
  • Pucci goes on a long monologue where everyone except himself would be able to experience their fates in the new iteration of the universe and proceeds to corner Emporio in Burning Down The House. He doesn't take into account that Emporio would exploit this trait to catch Pucci off-guard and corner himself with a home-field advantage. Additionally, his extraction of Wes' memory disc a second time and later being taken away from him by his enemies, goes ignored by him right until he realizes that they'd try and use it against him.
  • He inadvertently caused much of his own misery by entrusting dealing with Wes and Perla’s accidental incest situation to be dissolved by the third party in the form of a private investigator to save his sister from the potential public disgrace if it came to light. Not taking into account that Wes’ adopted mother’s interracial relationship with a black man in Florida during a time period when the Klu-Klux Klan was heavily prominent would result in violent actions taken to punish anyone engaging in such relationships with Wes being assumed to be a half-black man by association of his mother's romance. Let alone that the investigator would have ties to this organization, leading to Pucci inadvertently causing Perla's death, Wes becoming hateful, and Pucci blaming himself.
• Discard and Draw: After his Stand's metamorphosis is complete, he discards the versatile capabilities of Whitesnake in favor of the more singular-based, but more potently powerful abilities of C-Moon and Made In Heaven to combat Jolyne's group.
• Dissonant Serenity: As he realizes the Green Baby has been born, he rejoices in this event as a badly-wounded Guccio lays next to him, deeming as the soon-to-be vanguard of a new world as Messiah plays while bombastically composing this piece while spouting religious phrases. Considering how Pucci is usually low-key and no-nonsense he is compared to the more hammy villains of the series before and afterward for the rest of the Part, this moment stands out in his usual characterization.
• Does Not Like Spam: He mentions in a conversation with Donatello Versus that he's allergic to shellfish.
• Dragon Ascendant: Initially DIO's most loyal follower as well as one of his several Co-Dragons (with Vanilla Ice and Enya the Hag), he escalates to Big Bad to fulfill his late master's last request.
• Dub Name Change: Of a sort. All-Star Battle, Eyes of Heaven and the Netflix subtitles name him as just Father Pucchi, with no reference to his given name.
• Enemy Mine: Temporary calls a ceasefire between him and Jolyne to deal with Heavy Weather, which serves as a threat to everyone.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His entire Freudian Excuse is how he is responsible for his little sister's death, and the reason he's adamant on killing Jotaro is to avenge DIO's death.
• Even Evil Has Standards:
  • He dislikes Thunder McQueen for his selfish "pity me" personality and his desire to drag others down in his own misfortune, something that even Whitesnake berates him for upfront.
  • He has a very strong dislike for Anasui, even compared to the Joestars and their allies. He's an unrepentant murderer among (mostly) reasonable anti-heroes, after all.
  • He looked genuinely disturbed when Donatello Versus drops three sick kids in a plane with with Jolyne and Ermes, forcing them to decide if they want to save the kids or themselves from an inevitable crash-landing. He even asks Versus if he felt any guilt over what he did (he didn't).
• Evil Sounds Deep: Video game adaptations and the anime give Pucci a deep, melodious voice. Whitesnake's voice in the TV anime is particularly resonant.
• Exotic Eye Design: His eyes have crosses over them in early appearances. Later on, he is Pie-Eyed.
• Eye Scream: Twice. The first time he uses Whitesnake to remove his own eyesight in an effort to protect himself from Heavy Weather, which activates on sight. The second time happens during the final battle when Jolyne manages to injure him, notably, this is the only attack that successfully lands on Pucci during the final showdown.
• The Fatalist: Pucci buys into the idea that everything that happens is destined to happen. His fatalism also plays into his faith as a priest; his life is riddled by strange and usually beneficial coincidences, which he equates with the will of God. Because he feels his meeting with DIO and developing his Stand at a crucial time in his life was fate, anything he does in service of DIO, he interprets as following God's will. Though that said, he honestly seems to care more about DIO than God.
• Final Boss: The very last opponent of the last part taking place in the original continuity, and arguably the most powerful and dangerous one as well. Fittingly, he gets the closest out of any antagonist in the entire series to fully winning and wiping his enemies out.
• Fingore: During his first real fight with Jolyne Pucci deliberately shoved his own crucifix beneath his fingernail in order to give him a slightly longer reach for a close-quarters fight.
• Foil:
  • To his deceased superior DIO. DIO was frequently depicted wearing yellow while Pucci wears a dark robe. DIO was unabashedly evil and reveled in his villainy, while Pucci believes what he's doing is right. Finally, DIO's Stand allowed him to stop time, while Pucci's final Stand lets him accelerate it. Additionally, The World's divine image is inspired by Egyptian mythology while Pucci's Stand evolution line takes aesthetics from biblical text—both demonic and divine.
  • To his twin brother Weather Report. While Pucci lived a life of comfort and luxury with his family, Weather lived a rather modest lifestyle with his adopted mother. Pucci's appearance resembles more of a holy man given his occupation as a priest, while Weather has a more demonic appearance thanks to his horned buffalo hat. On the other hand, Weather's Stand, Weather Report, and later Heavy Weather, has divine and angelic appearances and abilities, whereas Pucci's Whitesnake and his later Stands are more demonic in those aspects. Also, Pucci seeks a Stand that will allow him to reach his idea of Heaven, whereas Weather has a Stand that literally controls the heavens.
  • He and Jolyne are both extensions (and, in a way, ends) of the legacy battle that has been going on between the Joestars and DIO since the 19th Century. Both started off being insecure and frightened of events out of their control before becoming more confident to make their aggressors submit to them. The difference is that Jolyne takes control of her own path and doesn't force her will onto others while Enrico Pucci imposes his will onto others and wants to make a cosmos where everyone knows and doesn't fight fate.
• Foreshadowing:
  • A meta-example, his final Stand is a centaurian being resembling a jockey, and the next part of the series involves jockeys running a race with horses.
  • His final ability, accelerating the flow of time, is deliberately foreshadowed all the way back to Pucci's accidental interaction with a woman, depending on the adaptation he either makes a woman give birth to a half-man half-baby hybrid or makes eggs from a store hatch into birds.
  • Both Whitesnake and C-Moon have monochromatic stripes running across their bodies with the initials "GΔCT" repeatedly written on the white section of the stripes, referencing the four nucleobases of DNA (Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine, and Thymine). Notably, the pattern uses the letter delta ("Δ") in place of "A" — in mathematical notation, the letter delta denotes a quantity change or difference, which might foreshadow the fact that both Whitesnake and C-Moon are actually the incomplete forms of Pucci's potential true Stand, Made In Heaven.
• Freudian Excuse: After seeing the sheer number of coincidences, simple mistakes, and decisions that snowballed into tragedy in his back story, it's easy to see how his beliefs became easily swayed by DIO to turn towards Predestination and become a Knight Templar in his search for "Heaven".
• Fusion Dance: C-Moon is the combination of Whitesnake and the Green Baby.
• The Future Will Be Better: Defied. In his New Era Speech for those who believe having the full knowledge of their fate will bring them despair, Pucci claims that having resolution to accept it will eradicate their fear and instead give them everlasting peace.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: He's a priest who succeeds in killing the whole cast save Emporio, and while not succeeding in remaking the universe in his image, regardless is singlehandedly responsible for retconning the JoJo continuity.

G — Z

• God Before Dogma: Aside from wanting to avoid breaking his sister's heart, Pucci hires a guy to threaten Wes (aka "Weather Report") into breaking up with Perla as to not break his priestly vows, thinking that having a guy use force against his own siblings to prevent incest is more righteous in the eyes of God than him breaking his vow and just telling them to avoid anymore drama. He pays dearly for this course of action, as the man he hired turned out to be a KKK member, who seemingly lynches Wes and drives his sister to suicide after she thinks the former is dead. Pucci also goes against the word of God and Jesus' teachings by committing several sinful acts, including murder, to achieve his version of Heaven on Earth.
• Gratuitous Latin: In his fight with Weather Report.
  Pucci: Humans must strive to reach the gates of Heaven and the one who is the first to find it will be able to lead all of mankind to it. Domine quo vadis? (Where are you going?) To be crucified, now die for your sins!
• Handicapped Badass: Tries to invoke it by using Eye Scream on himself to remove his weakness to Heavy Weather, but Anasui turns it against him with a vengeance.
• The Heavy: Unlike villain predecessors like DIO, Kira, or Diavolo, Pucci has no issue with openly operating since extremely early into the series with Whitesnake showing up as Jotaro arrives at the prison. In turn, several events are entirely from his point of view and his personal story and character development are given significant focus.
• Heroic Second Wind: A rare villain version. He manages to more or less stand his ground in the first portion of the fight in Cape Canaveral against Jolyne, Anasui and, Emporio, but once Ermes and Jotaro arrive, he's completely cornered and rapidly getting more and more injured. Then, he figures out how to get Made In Heaven, and the completion of the ritual fully heals him, allowing him to immediately take the upper hand against the heroes.
• Hero Killer: While JoJo villains both before and after him have racked up a clean amount of kills on the protagonists, both major and minor, Pucci is infamous for being the only villain to kill six out of seven main characters of the part by himself, with the only survivor being Emporio, who is the least combat-capable of the bunch. He showered F.F. with scalding water until they croaked, he jabbed Weather Report through the heart while Pucci was blind, and he used the speed gained by Made In Heaven to cut the rest of the heroes into ribbons.
• Hidden Agenda Villain: Unlike with previous main villains, Pucci's ultimate goal isn't revealed until it's come to fruition. The majority of his actions are mainly to rid himself of the heroes due to revenge and hindrances to his greater plan, the specifics of which are known in full to himself and DIO.
• Hidden Depths: While Pucci is shown to be extremely reserved, affable and even withdrawn at times, his Stand, Whitesnake, which he uses as a mouthpiece is, in contrast, foul-mouthed and scornful. It is notable that when Pucci starts acting more confident and violent, Whitesnake had by then ceased to exist having evolved into the more robotic C-Moon. Apparently, Pucci and Whitesnake's personalities had now become one and the same.
• Holier Than Thou: Essentially, this is the reason in addition to revenge that he doesn't want the heroes to live, believing that they do not deserve the peace that the Heaven plan will provide. This is in spite of his plan originating from a vampire who is one of the most evil characters in the series even before his transformation, and Pucci himself is a Manipulative Bastard who uses pawns to dispense from the shadows.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Thrice. Once when attempting an Eye Scream to not see Weather Report's power, which almost led to his death. Then his accidental insertion of Weather Report's Stand disc into Emporio gave the latter the power to kill him; moreover, Made In Heaven forces people to repeat the actions they took in the previous universe unless Pucci directly interferes with their fate, so Pucci's attempt to kill Emporio before he was fated to die granted the latter the ability to fight freely. The last one is when his own time acceleration powers end up accelerating the effects of the pure oxygen Weather Report generated that he breathed in, made even better by the fact that toxins usually work slower on adults than children so Emporio would have succumbed to the pure oxygen first if Pucci hadn't resorted to immediately accelerating time. Pucci only has himself to blame for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
  • His accomplishment of DIO's ultimate plan to create a world where everyone's fate is set in stone also ultimately backfires on him as Emporio narrowly escaped his attempts to kill him because of Jolyne, which means his later attempt to finish him off was fated to fail through the disk that she gave him.
• Honor Before Reason:
  • His oath as a priest to not divulge what a person says during confession, not to mention his unwillingness to hurt his sister's feelings. Had he told his sister Perla the truth about Weather being their brother instead of trying to break them up by proxy, the tragedies that befell them could have been avoided.
  • He truthfully had no reason to go after Emporio, who was both a child and someone who honestly couldn't pose a threat to him on his own, but Pucci's fanatical belief that all traces of those connected to the Joestar family, even indirectly, must be wiped out. This leads him to his death.
• Hypocrite:
  • Pucci is a Christian priest who claims to be a holy soldier of God, yet has committed numerous sins that a typical Catholic priest would never think of doing. His hypocrisy goes as far as framing people for sins they did not commit, murdering people, trying to hurt children, and holding grudges against the Joestar family.
  • He worships DIO as a god, aiming to recreate the universe in his name and even refers to him as "Lord DIO". What did Exodus 20:3 say, again?
  • Although Catholic doctrine teaches that humanity has free will, Pucci's goal is to create a world where humans are aware of their future actions and have no choice but to follow their predestined paths.
  • For all he preaches about how knowing one's own fate will bring them peace of mind, he takes the realization that Emporio is about to crush his head like an egg with him helpless to do anything about it with all the grace of a fish flopping on dry land.
• Inconsistent Spelling: His surname is spelled "Pucchi" in All Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven. Interestingly, the official JOJO magazine uses this spelling as well.
• Ironic Echo:
  • The way Pucci manages to kill Jotaro during the final fight. Just like DIO, Pucci doesn't hesitate to play dirty when he has to.
  • How he is killed off by Emporio, using his own Disc against him.
• Irony:
  • His attempts to avenge DIO by killing the Joestars and creating a world where everyone is aware of their fate results in the creation of a universe where he doesn't even exist.
  • After having temporary created a universe where everyone is aware of their own fate which they must face, Pucci spends his final moments refusing to accept his defeat, knowing that everything he accomplished will be undone upon his death.
• It's Personal: Pucci's final defeat comes off this way. He is bested not by Jolyne (with whom he didn't really have any personnal beef), but by Emporio, a kid whose mother he murdered, using the Stand of Weather Report, his brother whose life he ruined.
• Jerkass to One: To Anasui; unlike the other protagonists, whom he views as Worthy Opponents, Pucci has absolutely nothing nice to say about him.
• Karmic Death: Killed by his own brother's Stand mere days after killing him. And by the son of one of his many victims in the prison.
• Kick the Dog: In spite of being a much more affable and reasonable person than the previous main villains, it doesn't prevent him from doing mean-spirited actions for the sake of his plan.
  • He killed Emporio's mother slowly via the heavily implied illusory acid in the past to gain her Stand disc in order to build up his arsenal to fight Jotaro. While gaining the Stand disc was pragmatic, his decision to dissolve her on top of this was unnecessarily cruel.
  • He kills Johngalli A., a fellow supporter of DIO just because he knew of Pucci's identity. While the act was cut off loose ends to make sure his identity remained secret, he did so by deliberately taking advantage of the blind man's lack of sight and even when he could have taken the man's Memory disc and altered it to hide his identity like he would with other Stand users.
  • He literally kicks a poison dart frog into a prison guard's face and makes it blow up, blinding him in the process. And instead of calling for aid, like he promised he would after the guard opened the gate for him, Pucci just walks off and leaves the poor guy for dead.
  • Pucci once he obtains Made in Heaven, could've killed the group in one go, striking before Jotaro realized what was going on. Instead, he decides on using Stone Free to kill Anasui in a spitefully ironic manner and forces Jotaro into another Sadistic Choice that deliberately mirrors DIO to get a chance to kill him off-guard and then kill Jolyne afterward anyway.
  • His decision to kill Emporio after killing all of the Joestars, since he was a little boy with non-combative Stand and posed no real threat to Pucci, especially after obtaining Made in Heaven, yet he attempts to kill him anyway for being an ally to Jolyne. Needless to say, he dearly pays for it when Emporio manages to retaliate with Weather Report's Stand due to Pucci's decision to follow through the killing attempt.
• Knight of Cerebus: Stone Ocean was already more morbid than previous parts with Jolyne being a delinquent sent to a high-security prison filled with dangerous criminals that could harm her at any time, but the appearance of Whitesnake, and Pucci by proxy sets the stage for a vastly more competent minion of DIO turned efficient mastermind who manages to get the jump on Jotaro, leaving him comatose for the majority of the part in his debut. His direct involvement in the plot always ends with one of the heroes dying horribly at the end, culminating in a massacre of almost the entire cast in the finale including Jotaro and Jolyne. Unlike DIO, Kars, or Kira, he lacks any comedic traits or possessing Diavolo's trait of extreme incompetence in getting tasks done. Pucci comes the closest to fulfilling his goals due to having a lethal effectiveness in getting the task done without playing around. The story gets more grim whenever he personally takes action with the results leading to global and eventually universal catastrophe, as well as single-handedly wiping out most of the main cast.
• Knight Templar: Pucci is willing to do underhanded actions that harm others in the pursuit of his ultimate goal, because he believes that those actions will lead to the benefit of humanity due to being a man of God; thus being in the right to have moral superiority over his enemies, in spite of those actions being evil in nature and the person who helped to orchestrate the plan being one of the most evil characters in the series.
  • To quote Weather Report on Pucci, "The kind of evil that doesn't realize that it's evil... is the worst kind there is."
• Laser-Guided Karma: Pucci had a guard blinded by poison from a poison dart frog, manipulating him into doing what he wanted while taking advantage of his blindness, and then leaves him to his fate. Later on, when Pucci is forced to blind himself, he is forced to rely on Anasui to know what's happening, leading to the latter taking advantage of his blindness to damage him.
  • His decision to have Emporio's mother killed for her Stand disc eventually leads to his death at the hands of her son.
  • Killing Weather Report and not destroying his Stand when he had the chance leads to his death at the hands of his brother's Stand inserted in Emporio to avenge his death postmortem.
  • He uses his Stand's immense speed to blitz-kill the group in the end, but that same speed leads to accelerating the oxygen poisoning process, leading to his death.
• Light Is Not Good: A Knight Templar Sinister Minister with a divine-looking Stand that warps reality.
• Logical Weakness:
  • As he is speeding up using Made In Heaven, he is also extra vulnerable to effects that could make him sick or poison him, as their effects are accelerated as well. Emporio beats him at the very end by abusing this fact: by overloading the atmosphere with oxygen, it turns toxic. Pucci tries to accelerate to escape, but all this does is make the poisoning work near-instantly and totally incapacitate him. Emporio was also suffering from the oxygen poisoning, but the effect on him was much weaker and worked at a normal speed, so he remained functional for long enough to win, while Pucci dropped and became unable to walk and move right away. This is further worsened by the fact that the final encounter between Pucci and Emporio takes place in the latter's Stand, a secluded room, which concentrates the oxygen.
  • Pucci's reflexes are impressive, but they're not actually as fast as Made In Heaven can make him move. This means he can still be blindsided and surprised by attacks he's fast enough to dodge but didn't have time to react to.
  • It's pointed out Pucci actually has to physically move the distance he's moving while sped up, and he doesn't have unlimited stamina. When he tries chasing after Jolyne and Emporio in the ocean during the final battle, they managed to stay ahead of him because Jolyne tied them to a dolphin, and it's pointed out how there is no way Pucci can swim faster than a dolphin without letting out or make it back to shore without drowning. One reason Emporio is able to keep away from him long enough to defeat him is Pucci is visibly worn out.
• Manipulative Bastard: Due to lacking the expansive resources of the previous main villains and having a desire to complete his plan, Pucci is forced to use everyone, ally or enemy in order to achieve his plan.
  • Pucci manipulates almost all the antagonists in the saga to do his dirty work through inserting Stand/Memory discs, using his influence in the prison to have the employees on his side, and his charisma to lure in the Sons of DIO to act as blockades to defeat the heroes.
  • He also manipulates the heroes into playing into his hands or leaving him alone via putting their loved ones in danger and balancing it between their safety and his defeat.
• A Million Is a Statistic: Why he needs to be stopped in spite of the noble intention of his plans: the Heaven Plan's endgoal is to allow everyone in the universe to be able to see their fates and guide themselves to lives free of any misery they may encounter. However, this only applies to the people that survived the restart of the universe; the murdered Joestar group and everyone who died during the time acceleration will not be reborn and retain their memories to avoid their fates, but instead be replaced by similar, but different replacements. Naturally, like all the self-righteous villains before and after him, Pucci views this side-effect as worth it.
• Mundane Utility: At one point, he uses Whitesnake to put an ordinary music disc in Guccio, turning the latter into a human loudspeaker.
• Natural End of Time: The crux of his plan is to speed up time to this point to cycle back to the beginning of the universe, too fast for souls to die and allow them to know their fate.
• Near-Villain Victory: He succeeds in killing all the heroes (including Jotaro and Jolyne) save Emporio. But his plan banked on speeding up time so that the Joestar bloodline wouldn't follow. Emporio (and by an extent, Weather Report) manages to kill him before the latter comes to fruition, resulting in the Joestars surviving in the new timeline.
• Nemesis Magnet: He has a personal beef with Jotaro for killing DIO. Emporio, Jolyne, F.F., and Weather Report also have their own reasons for hating his guts. See Arch-Enemy.
• Nerves of Steel: Shows no fear when Ungalo takes him hostage and holds a pair of scissors to his throat.
• Never My Fault: His obsession with fate has to do with his desire for something to blame for his decision to go to an outsider (Who turned out to be the KKK) to get his sister to break up with Weather Report. This can be seen in his fight with Weather Report when it looks like he'll die.
  Enrico Pucci: You're the cursed one brother! Not me!!
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Pucci wanted to stop accidental incest from happening, though the method he chose was less than morally righteous. The result is that his sister killed herself, his brother turned into a remorseless killer, and sends the two of them on a collision course that would inevitably end up with either one of them dead.
• No-Nonsense Nemesis: Pucci gives his Stand a gun, doesn't get into any fight he's not sure he'll win, and in the end manages a near-Total Party Kill, including killing the main character.
• Not Worth Killing: While he despises the Joestars and anyone affiliated with them, he still sees them as formidable opponents and personal challenges he must overcome in order to achieve Heaven. The same cannot be said for Anasui, who he repeatedly tells to just get lost, hardly ever bothering to put any effort into fighting him and scarcely even acknowleging his existence. To clarify, he sees Emporio as a more credible threat in the end than he did Anasui.
  Pucci: Go away. I do not consider you a test. You don't even pose a threat to me.
  • He changes his tune during the final battle when Anasui uses Diver Down to absorb some of the damage Jotaro received when Pucci slashed his neck. Pucci then makes it a priority to kill Anasui first.
• Number Obsession: He likes to read prime numbers to help him stay focused and calm.
• Obliviously Evil: Weather Report says this is what makes Pucci the worst kind of evil there is, as he genuinely doesn't think what he is doing is wrong so long as he can reach Heaven.
• Older Than They Look: Similarly to Jotaro, Pucci appears to have aged very little since his tutelage under DIO twenty-three years before. Keep in mind that he's pushing 40 at the time of the story.
• One-Winged Angel: During the final battle of Stone Ocean, his Stand fuses with the Green Baby to become C-Moon, and then does it again once it evolves into Made In Heaven.
• Only Friend: Possibly this to DIO after Jonathan's death, as he's the only subordinate that DIO ever treated as an equal.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: To his subordinates who he sends to impede the heroes, he's only known as "Whitesnake". This happens for a few reasons. One, he only approaches them with his Stand and gives them his request, like with Johngalli A. and Thunder McQueen. Two, he presents himself and his Stand as separate entities and pretends to not have themselves be related, as seen with Sports Maxx. Three, he uses Whitesnake's powers to remove a minion's memory and replace it with one that fits his mission, as he does to Miraschon.
• Pie Eyes: Pucci is drawn with pupils like this.
• Poor Communication Kills: Broken heart or no, if he'd just told Perla and Weather that they were siblings, things could have been very different.
• Power Makes Your Hair Grow: Grows a ponytail after absorbing Green Baby.
• Pragmatic Villainy: While a villain through and through, Pucci does have a couple moments where he makes sure to avoid acts that could potentially cause him trouble, even if it's the simple solution. He could have tried to pick off Jolyne when she had just come out of a battle with another user and was unaware that he was even a fighter, but holds off on his attempts because he's unsure if he could directly win against Jolyne. He later avoids a confrontation with Ermes and Jolyne when Weather Report retrieves his memories despite having an advantage against them on the grounds he has other matters to deal with.
• Precision F-Strike: He is much more conservative with his language, especially in comparison to the generally vulgar heroes. However, when he discovers his sister Perla's dead body after she threw herself off a cliff to her death after Weather was lynched and supposedly killed by a Klan mob that he had hired to simply break off his sister's relationship with Weather, he loudly exclaims, "Damn it all!!"
• Pure Is Not Good: He meets the qualifications of the "friend" that DIO needs to attain Heaven, someone who is capable of controlling his own desires, and not interested in political power, fame, wealth, or sexual desire. However, it doesn't prevent him from using others as pawns to be discarded or inflicting moral dilemmas on the heroes.
• Remember the New Guy?: Despite being DIO's closest confidant, we never saw him or even heard of him until Part 6. Though this could partially chalked up to DIO's careful attitude, not having Pucci involved in the conflict when he was to ensure such an important plan was ultimately in his best interest.
• The Renfield: Pucci is retroactively the closest living human follower of the vampiric DIO, carrying out the plans of his friend out of friendship than blind loyalty.
• Required Secondary Powers: Pucci actually lacks a few of these, which partially results in his defeat.
  • While Pucci does have impressive reflexes, they actually aren't as fast as Made In Heaven can move him. As such he's repeatedly hit by attacks he's clearly fast enough to dodge purely because he couldn't react in time.
  • Pucci didn't get unlimited stamina to go along with his near limitless speed and has to physically move the amount of distance he travels while sped up. As such, by the time he's chasing after Emporio, he's visibly worn out from the entire fight and chase.
  • Made In Heaven does nothing to protect him from harmful toxins or gases in the air, and in fact makes them more effective because of time being sped up. Ultimately he's killed when Emporio uses Weather Report's Stand Disk to increase the oxygen content in the air - oxygen toxicity usually takes several hours to cause severe harm, but because Pucci is sped up, he goes from "unaffected" to "death by lung failure" in a matter of seconds, while Emporio lives long enough to turn it back down.
• Ret-Gone: Made In Heaven would have done this to his victims from Weather Report onwards. That would be including Jotaro, Jolyne, Ermes, and Anasui. After Emporio kills him, though, the resulting reality can be interpreted as that plot failing to the point that Pucci has been hit with Ret-Gone.
• Revenge Myopia: Pucci wants to avenge the death of DIO, his closest friend... a perverse, psychopathic vampire who was devoid of genuine compassion and wanted to reshape the universe in his image. However, like many of DIO's most loyal followers, DIO puts on an affable facade in front of him and nothing but kind to the priest.
• Sadistic Choice: His favorite means of escape, it seems, is to point out that someone else is about to die when he's cornered — so will you waste time killing Pucci, or save your friend? For a specific example, Pucci puts Jotaro before a nasty one: saving Jolyne from a Flechette Storm or killing Pucci. Jotaro tries to take both options, but ultimately fails and is killed by Pucci.
• Self-Imposed Challenge: In-Universe. When he's eating cherries, he likes to challenge himself. He puts both cherries in his mouth and chews them, but he does so in a way so that he doesn't remove the pits from the stem.
• Significant White Hair, Dark Skin: While Pucci is considered unassuming-looking in-universe, his unusual combination of dark skin and white hair, which he's had since birth, is an early hint that he's much more than he initially seems, as he is the true user of the stand Whitesnake and the Big Bad of Stone Ocean. His fraternal twin brother Weather Report shares his white hair but not his brown skin, and is an important supporting character, though not as prominent as Pucci. Pucci is also the only man DIO trusts with his ultimate plan to reach Heaven, which he spends much of the story attempting to achieve and almost entirely succeeds.
• Sinister Minister: Sinister priest, anyway. Of course, it's not going to be easy convincing him that following DIO's scheme is not God's will in any shape or form...
• Speed Blitz: Once he successfully achieves the ultimate form of his Stand, Made In Heaven, this is his main way of fighting. It allows him to accelerate time for everything but living beings, himself excluded. This results in Pucci rapidly ramping up from agile to blindingly fast to relativistic speeds to universe cracking velocity in a few moments, while all of the heroes have to use a combination of bullet riding, water stalling and actual time stop just to keep up with him... Which is sadly nowhere near enough and he butchers them all, with Emporio alone surviving.
• Stealth Pun: He's a priest who's dedicated his whole life to fulfilling DIO's^*(God in Italian) prophecy for Judgement Day.
• Story-Breaker Power: Made In Heaven lets Pucci gradually speed up time to the point of entire days passing in seconds for other characters while Pucci sees everything as happening in normal time, effectively giving him escalating super speed. At his peak, he essentially has The World's time-stop ability on constantly (while Jotaro's World powers are virtually useless against him by this point). He's fast enough that he kills Anasui, Jotaro, Ermes, and Jolyne easily. A combination of arrogance and Emporio abusing his Logical Weakness in a specific location is really the only reason he loses.
• Superior Successor: Pucci may have botched it at the last second, but the fact remains that he is the most destructive and dangerous of all the JoJo villains, including his own late friend DIO. Not even DIO's last battle was anywhere near as apocalyptic as the final stretch of Stone Ocean.
• Supporting the Monster Loved One: Unlike most of DIO's minions that serve him out of promises of wealth, fear, or devoted worship, Pucci is considered to be DIO's closest confidant and possibly more intimate, carrying out the wishes of his fallen, vampiric friend, long after his passing.
• Taught by Experience: After getting beaten to a pulp by Jolyne during their first real fight, Pucci stays on the sidelines for quite a while, as Jolyne has now proven herself to be too dangerous to underestimate. Having observed her fighting skills during this brief period, he fares much better during their 2nd confrontation.
• Tautological Templar: Pucci will justify anything - corrupting convicts with stolen Stand disc powers to impede or try to kill the heroes (and personally killing all but one of them himself), inflicting collateral damage using C-Moon, resetting the universe via Made In Heaven (even if it means killing people by accident), scaring the crap out of humans by informing them of their future demise (good and bad) and even trying to kill a young boy, all of which go against his religious doctrine, so long as it serves his Heaven Plan. In his view, murder is justified, so long as they're trying to stop his Heaven Plan, and he doesn't care about the people suffering as collateral damage - only that they are properly informed and ergo happy to know their fate.
• Theme Twin Naming: Enrico and his twin brother Domenico, also known as Weather Report.
• They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: Pucci's appearance, aside from his white hair, to an outsider, is nothing out of the ordinary. A dark-skinned priest wearing the typical garb of a man of faith and acting in the reasonable and authoritative manner expected of his position. This made it hard for the heroes to figure out he was the true user of the more blatantly sinister Whitesnake for the first half of the part until circumstances forced Pucci to expose himself as the Stand user.
• Throwing Off the Disability: He was born with a club foot and used to walk with a noticeable limp. DIO's sudden and miraculous cure of his condition is what initially drew Pucci to him.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: Initially, Pucci is openly withdrawn and polite, with Whitesnake being the mouthpiece to vent out his inner dark thoughts. After merging with the Green Baby, Pucci gradually becomes more confident and prideful, with the Stand becoming non-verbal to reflect on Pucci being more open on expressing his inner thoughts. He also starts acting ruder to people, openly criticizing Donatello's actions during the latter's fight with Jolyne and Ermes, killing a yappy tourist, consciously or unconsciously, while feeling under the weather due to Whitesnake evolving into C-Moon, causes massive collateral damage due to C-Moon's gravity inversion and Made In Heaven's time acceleration, and finally goes as far as to flat out punch people out of the way when hunting down Emporio in the rebooted GDB Prison.
• Trauma Conga Line: His Start of Darkness is due to a series of one tragic circumstance to the next. Firstly, he grew up his entire life believing that his brother died in childbirth, only to discover that he was alive the whole time. Then, he finds out that his beloved sister is unknowingly in a relationship with said long-lost brother. Then, his own actions in trying to break off their relationship ends up driving his sister into despair and suicide while he helplessly watches. The guy has a lot of baggage.
• Tree Buchet: While under the effects of Made In Heaven, Pucci bends a palm tree to launch himself at the heroes, with him only being stopped through Jotaro finding him out using Star Platinum: The World.
• Underestimating Badassery: Pucci captured Jolyne merely to use her as bait in order to get Jotaro into Green Dolphin Street Prison and steal his discs. Afterwards, he paid no mind to Jolyne at first since he assumed that she was just a spoiled brat pining for her boyfriend, and therefore was no real threat. As Pucci soon learned, however, he was very, very wrong.
• Undignified Death: In the end, Pucci manages to obtain one of the most ludicrously powerful Stands ever and easily slaughters all of the heroes... except for Emporio, who tricks Pucci into giving him the power of Weather Report then squishes his head like a tomato while poisoning him with pure oxygen. This is all while being faced with the revelation that all his work will be for naught and his plans will be ruined. In other words, one of the most powerful characters in the entire series gets outsmarted and killed by the Tagalong Kid, rather than the JoJo.
• Undying Loyalty: To DIO, notably in comparison to the other agents, it's closer to that of friendship than the fanaticism of the other followers.
• Unusual Eyebrows: They kind of... make these little lines that go up then join into the rest of his hair after a 90-degree turn. They become even more complicated after he merged with the Green Baby.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Flashbacks during his child and young adulthood show that he actually was a genuinely nice boy who loved his family and wanted to become a priest for benign reasons. A series of tragic circumstances ending in his little sister's suicide led him to believe that all of life is predetermined and that only by going to Heaven can man possibly overcome their fate which led him to DIO.
• Utopia Justifies the Means: His ultimate plan is to accelerate time to the point where it loops back through a singularity — without the Joestar bloodline following (along with several other unlucky people who died during the time acceleration) — so everyone is subconsciously aware of what will happen in the entire future and be able to guide themselves to lives free of any misery and pain. End result: shock and horror are utterly erased, along with anything else related to surprise.
• Villain No Longer Idle: As he fulfills the requirements of DIO's Evil Plan, he sends out Stand users to eliminate Jolyne before she can stop it. Once the Green Baby emerges, he arrives to obtain it himself, leading to another confrontation with Jolyne, and him subsequently succeeding absorbing it.
• Villainous Breakdown: At his defeat when he realizes he'll be killed before the New Moon, meaning all he's done will be for naught. Even more so when it's not a Joestar but one of their allies, a young kid at that, and the Stand that belongs to his brother that does him in.
• Villainous Friendship: Type 1, since DIO actually trusts Pucci far more as an equal than any of his subordinates, not to mention the lengths Pucci goes to in order to fulfill his posthumous friend's ambitions.
• Villainous Underdog: Whitesnake is a powerful Stand, but its abilities pale in comparison to those possessed by the protagonists. Pucci spends several fights just trying to survive and advance his schemes, but while he does eventually attain incredible might he still loses to his brother's Stand.
• Villains Out Shopping: While he's on his way to Cape Canaveral to complete the final step of DIO's Heaven Plan, he decides to take some time for himself and relax on a bench, and out of the misguided kindness of his heart, he decides to help out a woman who accidentally drops her groceries. However, because he's not in control over C-Moon's powers yet, this comes with some disastrous side effects.
• Villains Want Mercy:
  • When Weather is about to kill him, Pucci pleads with him to show mercy. The moment that he's free, he kills his brother without hesitation.
  • Begs Emporio to spare him at least until he can accomplish his plan. This is after chasing him down loudly proclaiming that he will murder him in order to complete his plan.
• Vocal Dissonance: In the previous video game adaptions, Pucci has a melodious, deep voice for a man that's younger than Jotaro, sounding older than both him and DIO.
  • The anime averts this by giving him a deep, yet younger sounding voice of a man in his late 30s and have a more convincing youthful tone for when he was in his teenage years around DIO.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Pucci never views himself as evil, but rather as God's messenger to bring Heaven on Earth. However, his vision of Heaven is a world where everybody knows their fate completely from birth, allowing people in his perspective to never feel the pain of sudden tragedy or surprise. And he won't stop at anything to attain this dream even if it means murder or the erasure of several unlucky people from existence.
• White Hair, Black Heart: Has white hair, is a loyal servant of DIO, and while well-intentioned, commits evil acts to achieve his goals.
• Wicked Cultured: Being a priest, he holds himself up to high cultural standards, and of note, he's well-researched of the composing process of George Frederic Handel's Messiah and the various recordings people have made of it over the centuries.
• Would Hit a Girl: Pucci has killed several female inmates in the past, including Emporio's mother, in order to build up his Stand disc arsenal, tried to harm Jolyne as part of his Sadistic Choice to ward off Jotaro twice, smashed Miraschon's head into a table for stealing his cross, and has successfully killed off the three main women of the heroes when they opposed his plan.
• Would Hurt a Child: Tried to kill Emporio, in spite of him being a powerless child with a non-combat Stand, just to make sure that his murder of the group was complete. Needless to say, Pucci pays dearly for his decision to do this, as he's tricked by Emporio into inserting Weather Report's Stand disc into him, allowing him to avenge his friends.
• Worf Had the Flu: While Pucci didn't have an especially difficult time killing the heroes, it's noted that Pucci actually has to physically move where he wants to go while sped up. As a result, the long chase ended up wearing him out and he's visibly worn out by the time he's chasing Emporio, as well as missing an eye, giving the boy a fighting chance.
• You Can't Fight Fate: This is the one thing that drives him. After experiencing the loss of his sister due to a separated-at-birth incestuous misunderstanding between her and Pucci's brother Wes Bluemarine, he plummeted into despair, and through the wisdom of DIO, Pucci came to believe that fate is a cruel mistress and for everyone to be happy, they must know their everything that was, is, and will be. And with no way to change it, for everything is set in stone and everyone must accept it, no matter how awful it is.
• Your Head A-Splode: His ultimate fate at the hands of Emporio, who uses Weather Report to punch his head until it's completely crushed, complete with Pucci's eyeball flying out.

Whitesnake, C-Moon, & Made In Heaven

Whitesnake/C-Moon/Made In Heaven

^C-Moon

^{Made In Heaven}

Pucci's Stand is Whitesnake, which allows him to steal a person's soul in the form of two discs: one for memories and one for a Stand. These discs can be implanted in others, allowing Pucci to create Stand users from normal people. He can also implant orders using custom-made discs. After fusing with the Green Baby, his Stand changes to C-Moon, and gains gravity-changing powers instead. At the next New Moon at Cape Canaveral, his Stand changes once more into Made In Heaven (previously named Stairway to Heaven) which has the power to accelerate time to the point that the universe resets itself with a Big Crunch and then a Big Bang, but now in DIO's image. They are named after the band Whitesnake, the Wings song "C Moon", and the Queen album Made in Heaven.

---

• Ambiguous Situation: Is Whitesnake Invisible to Normals?. When Whitesnake is mere seconds away from dealing a fatal blow to Jolyne, he opts to run away and hide rather than finish her off. Presumably, this is to escape notice of the guards seeing something that warranted further investigation, but it's impossible to say. Whether McQueen can actually seem him is another matter of debate.
• Animal Motifs: Despite not looking like an actual snake, Whitesnake has some traits traditionally associated with it, being cunning, sly and stealthy. Its ability to trap people inside dreams before melting them with acid probably references constrictor snakes, which swallow their prey whole before digesting it slowly with their stomach acid. Additionally, after the poison dart frog rain summoned by Weather Report has cleared, Pucci remarks that mere frogs can't possibly defeat his Snake.
• All There in the Manual: Whitesnake's ability to generate hallucinogenic acid was only named "Melt Your Heart" in the 2013 JOJOVELLER art book.
• Awesome, but Impractical: While Made in Heaven was the pinnacle of DIO's and Pucci's plan to reset the universe, its efficiency in a battle is debatable. While he did manage to kill most of the main cast, keep it in mind that Pucci had to distract Jotaro, while time was stopped, by throwing knives at Jolyne, in order to prevent being attacked by Star Platinum, and Jolyne managed to blind him in one eye with a simple knife. Even worse, its power also has several drawbacks, as explained above in Required Secondary Powers, unlike the stands of previous villains like The World and King Crimson, that practically have none, and said drawbacks were precisely what led to Pucci's defeat. It could be even argued that the abilities of its predecessors, C-Moon and Green, Green Grass of Home, were more effective in terms of fighting.
• Barely-Changed Dub Name: Both C-Moon and Made In Heaven's localized names, See Moon and Maiden Heaven respectively, are phonetically the same despite being spelled differently. This is even more obvious from the way Yong Yea delivers Pucci's reveal of the name, "MADE IN HEAVEN!", being sounded out much closer to its original name than its localized version.
• Breaking Old Trends: Whitesnake is the first Stand of a Big Bad to be sentient. It's also the only known Stand to be both long-range and devastatingly powerful like Star Platinum.
• Bright Is Not Good:
  • In contrast to Whitesnake, C-Moon is a bright-green humanoid with red eyes and a skeletal-like face. Its powers cause the terrain to alter its axis and invert people from the inside out.
  • Made In Heaven, C-Moon's evolution, is a white humanoid with a collar of pink-tipped feathers and has heavenly/racer motifs. It's used to kill the current Joestar party successively and restart the universe into one where fate is subconsciously accepted.
• Chess Motifs: Fitting for Pucci's role as The Chessmaster for the part, his Stands appear to be designed after the middle set of chess pieces in descending order. Whitesnake is a Rook who hides out in the shadows for the sake of defending its user (the crown on its head even resembles the top of a Rook piece), C-Moon is a Bishop who attacks unpredictably based on the gravity of the situation, and Made In Heaven is a Knight who speedily goes on the offense. From this analogy, it can also be inferred that DIO is the King whose will needs to be defended lest it gets taken away by the enemies; Pucci is the Queen who doesn't attack much, yet can dish out the most amount of damage to the opponents due to his versatility, and all of the Stand users that Pucci creates with Whitesnake are mere Pawns.
• Color Animal Codename: Whitesnake counts as this, as it's not literally a snake.
• Combo Platter Powers: Whitesnake can extract Stands and memories out of people and produce hallucinogenic acid.
• Contrasting Sequel Antagonist:
  • To King Crimson. While both King Crimson and Whitesnake have devil thematic motifs with associations with darkness, the way they're executed differs. King Crimson invokes a stereotypical image of the devil while Whitesnake invokes the more unorthodox imagery from biblical text, with Whitesnake being partially inspired by the Snake that caused the downfall of man, C-Moon being demonic, and finally, Made In Heaven invoking a Fallen Angel mixed with the Horseman of Conquest from the Revelation with heavenly imagery that contrast with its prior demonic forms.
  • It is also one to Killer Queen. They both invoke the Dark Is Evil motif, but differ at their end points. Killer Queen has a skull, feline, and bomb aesthetic while Whitesnake initially has a subtly demonic appearance before subverting it with the monstrous C-Moon and Made In Heaven that become increasingly angelic in design.
  • Also one to The World. The World evokes divine imagery common in Egyptian mythology and can stop time from the get-go, whereas Whitesnake and C-Moon evoke demonic imagery from biblical texts (until Made in Heaven, where it evokes divine ones instead) and eventually gains the ability to accelerate time.
• Dark Is Evil: In contrast to Pucci's religious position and beliefs, Whitesnake is a dark-clothed, purplish-white Stand whose abilities including illusions and the removing of memories and Stands is subtly demonic. Its use by Pucci to trick and disable others is used in purpose of the Heaven plan, whether people want it or not.
• Deadpan Snarker: C-Moon acts as this. Every line it speaks is delivered in the same emotionless tone, and it plainly tells off anyone getting in its way of killing Jolyne.
  C-Moon: I've come to eliminate you for good, since you couldn't wait 2 more days.
• Deconstruction: Of seemingly almighty Stands that became more prevalent during and after Part 3. Previously, the protagonists thwarted the likes of The World, Killer Queen: Bites the Dust, and King Crimson by finding hairline vulnerabilities to their powers or bringing out a stronger Stand somehow. Made In Heaven is legitimately invincible, but while it's unbeatable and impervious to harm, its user isn't.
• The Dragon: Whitesnake is not only Pucci's stand, but it can think and act on the priest's orders or fulfill his wishes to the letter when Pucci himself is elsewhere, including empowering other inmates to cause trouble. This enables Pucci to keep his guise as a non-combatant from Jolyne for some time, as Whitesnake's long range and attitude allows both stand and user to act without showing any direct connection between the two.
• Dub Name Change: All-Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven changes his Stand to Pale Snake, Full Moon, and Maiden Heaven. The first and last are maintained in the anime dub and the Netflix localization, although C-Moon uses the phonetically similar See Moon instead of Full Moon.
• Dumb Muscle: Downplayed with Whitesnake. While Whitesnake is sentient and has displayed the capacity to think strategically, his Hair-Trigger Temper makes him prone to making errors in judgment. C-Moon plays it straight, being a remote-controlled Stand who relies on direct commands from Pucci, such as being told to target Jolyne's vitals only once.
• Dynamic Entry: When C-Moon undergoes its transformation into Made In Heaven, it makes its entrance by seemingly bursting out of Anasui's arm.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: Made In Heaven was originally named "Stairway to Heaven" after the Led Zeppelin song "Stairway to Heaven".
• Faux Affably Evil: Whitesnake adopts a polite way of speaking when recruiting Stand Users (or making stand users) for his cause, but it underlies his foul and short tempered personality.
• Exotic Eye Design: Whitesnake has odd shaped pupils that look like they're melting.
• Fighter, Mage, Thief: Pucci's 3 stands can be seen as this:
  • Whitesnake is the thief being a Master of Illusion and has the ability to steal other people's stands.
  • C-Moon is the fighter who's able to invert anything it touches making it lethal in close quarters combat.
  • Made in Heaven is the mage being a Physical God that has the ability to accelerate the entire universe to his liking.
• Foreshadowing: There are two instances in the Made In Heaven arc where the time acceleration ability of the Stand is hinted at having a weakness. Mainly, if an event is already set in motion and Pucci doesn't know about it, he too becomes a victim of the accelerated time jumping forward.
  • The first is the short gag with the mangaka. As Made In Heaven wreaks havoc across the planet, we get a short aside with a manga artist complaining that he can't finish his drafts. He calls his editor, only for the editor to say that there is one artist who is meeting their deadlines — Rohan Kishibe. Readers who remember Rohan's ink-dripping technique may realize that you can get around the time acceleration in unique ways like this. Since Rohan isn't inking with a pen, but rather letting the ink fall onto the page, then there could be a way around Pucci's nigh-invulnerability while time is moving forward.
  • After Pucci slaughters most of the group, Jolyne and Emporio make their escape. As Pucci dodges the punches of Stone Free, Jolyne chucks a knife his way and it accelerates at high speed, clipping him across the scalp. Pucci's shocked expression, coupled with the fact that he spends the rest of the fight bleeding from that same wound, heavily hint at the possibility of using outside forces to get around Pucci's time acceleration ability. This is precisely what happens — Emporio baits Pucci into empowering him with Weather Report, and then traps them both in a confined space and floods the room with oxygen, which Pucci accidentally accelerates fast enough to instantly begin poisoning him to death.
• Fusion Dance: C-Moon is the combination of Whitesnake and the Green Baby.
• Gathering Steam: The time acceleration effect of Made in Heaven initially starts out as fairly unremarkable but as time goes on it begins to accelerate time faster and faster eventually reaching the point where what would have been a somewhat manageable stand once you figured out how it worked turns into something near unstoppable.
• Gravity Screw: The effect of C-Moon, which can both alter gravity so that everything falls away from Pucci and use gravity to completely invert anything it touches. Made In Heaven amplifies this to the point of affecting spacetime, allowing Pucci to reset the universe.
• Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Made In Heaven invokes this via its angelic jockey fused with a half horse imagery; specifically the Horseman of Conquest. Given that its power is essentially speeding up the end of the original universe to reset things for a new universe, it's thematically appropriate for a corrupt priest to have this sort of Stand.
• Inconsistent Spelling: For the overseas release of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, Made In Heaven was renamed to the phonetically identical "Maiden Heaven", a possible Stealth Pun to Iron Maiden.
• It Can Think: Whitesnake is one of the few Stands that are actually sentient. In particular, he's loud, proud, hateful, and overall unpleasant. But he also can act as a mouthpiece for Pucci, and generally does what Pucci wants. Once he evolves into C-Moon, his sentience diminishes to being Dumb Muscle.
• Ambiguous Situation: Is Whitesnake Invisible to Normals?. When Whitesnake is mere seconds away from dealing a fatal blow to Jolyne, he opts to run away and hide rather than finish her off. Presumably, this is to escape notice of the guards seeing something that warranted further investigation, but it's impossible to say.
• Jerkass: Whitesnake, unlike Pucci, is ill-tempered and foul-mouthed, even calling F.F. "plankton scum" in their fight.
• Kick the Dog: Unsurprisingly, Whitesnake is just as capable of cruel acts as his user is.
  • He shouts to Jolyne that Jotaro will slowly rot away as a comatose corpse who won't recognise her when she outwits him.
  • He calls Foo Fighters "plankton scum" when they oppose him, even though he brought them to life in the first place and gave them a conscience.
• Light Is Not Good: Interestingly, it's initially averted as Whitesnake and C-Moon are demonic-looking Stands before becoming the angelic Made In Heaven, who plays it straight with its subtle Horseman of Conquest imagery and its intended power of accelerating time to an universe where everyone follows and subconsciously a predetermined fate with no say in the matter.
• Logical Weakness: C-Moon turns whatever it can hit inside out, but if it hits that same area again for the same effect, it's just gonna turn things back to normal, Pucci has to tell C-Moon not to hit the same area twice so it doesn't get its ass kicked by Jolyne anymore. Likewise, if something has no inside out, there's nothing C-Moon can really do to affect it, as shown when Jolyne uses moebius strips to counter this effect.
• Master of Illusion: Whitesnake can create a mist that either puts people into a dream-like state so he can either slowly dissolve them or use it to disguise himself.
• Mind Control: Whitesnake allows Pucci to control other people, either by implanting memory discs containing specific instructions that the victim will instinctively obey; or by plunging his Stand's hand into the victim's head and giving them direct orders. However, the victim can invoke Exact Words to work around Pucci's commands.
• Mouth of Sauron: Much like King Crimson, Whitesnake, being a long-distance Stand, serves as this to Pucci, acting in his stead while the priest hides in the shadows. Though unlike King Crimson, Whitesnake has a distinctive personality from its user, being more crass and ill-tempered than the polite and level-headed Pucci. Once Pucci himself enters the picture, Whitesnake fades out of this role, especially once it transforms into C-Moon and Made In Heaven.
• Mundane Utility: Not only can Whitesnake be used to extract memories and Stands in the form of discs, it can also be used to turn someone into a CD player.
• My Rules Are Not Your Rules: Whitesnake breaks the conventional Stand rules by being a long-distance type Stand while having the high power of short-range Stands. It is explained as Whitesnake having such a strong ego of its own that it doesn't require close proximity to its user to manifest such strength.
• Necessary Drawback: Whitesnake can extract discs from people's heads, but not from their Stand. This is an exception to the general rule where you can affect a Stand user by targeting their Stand.
• New Powers as the Plot Demands: Whitesnake is the Stand with probably the most inconsistent powerset in the entire series, so inconsistent that most of its stats are marked as "?". It initially showed the power to generate a digestive acid with surreal illusory properties to trap victims and the ability to remove the memory and Stand of a Stand user via discs. He later demonstrated further uses such as being able to insert Stand discs into individuals to make minions to do his dirty work, inserting commands into targets to do specific actions, use the illusory powers to disguise himself as other people, and use the disc removal power to remove aspects of himself such as eyesight in order to adapt to a situation. It would later gain the gravity inversion powers of C-Moon and then Made In Heaven.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: In order to portray Whitesnake's baritone voice, his dub actor, Yong Yea, looked to Bill Fagerbakke's performance as Patrick Star.
• Nuckelavee: Made In Heaven takes the appearance of a horse fused with its jockey, albeit missing the back half of the horse. Fitting the Nuckelavee's association with decay, it has the ability to accelerate time, ultimately leading to the decay and rebirth of the universe itself.
• Our Centaurs Are Different: Made In Heaven has a humanoid upper torso, but with a horse head at the area where the equine lower half meets and lacks an additional two legs to be a true centaur. Essentially, it looks like a satyr with a horse head sticking out of its crotch.
• Our Demons Are Different: Thematically, Whitesnake is subtly demonic with its illusory powers and ability to esoterically rob people of their souls via their Stand and Memory discs, with even its name being a reference to the snake that led Adam and Eve to leave Eden. C-Moon is a skeletal-faced, green, monstrous being with an unnatural presence that distorts the environment's physics in an unnatural way. And Made In Heaven invokes a Fallen Angel image combined with Horsemen of the Apocalypse motifs while its design is subtly like the depiction of the stereotypical satyr demon.
• Permafusion: Pucci's plan revolves around finding the Green Baby and having him merge with Whitesnake in order to transform it into C-Moon. Once he succeeds in this, C-Moon remains as his stand until further events allow it to evolve into Made in Heaven, allowing him to set in motion the plan to reset the universe.
• Personality Powers: Whitesnake's ability comes from Pucci's desire to preserve the memories of his dead sister.
• Person of Mass Destruction: C-Moon and Made In Heaven are both responsible for mass death, although C-Moon is more directly responsible than Made In Heaven is. When Pucci manages to summon C-Moon at the Kennedy Space Center, everyone who worked there or was visiting ended up subjected to the shift in gravity, and the amount of deaths end up being large enough that it provoked direct investigation from the military, although they couldn't reach the Space Center due to being pushed outwards by C-Moon's gravity. A later broadcast at the start of Made In Heaven's effects estimates that the incident caused by C-Moon was responsible for the deaths of somewhere between 1,000 to 2,000 people. Made In Heaven, on the other hand, ends up causing quite a few deaths due to the acceleration of time increasing the inertia of non-living objects, though only a select handful of deaths are shown, such as a meat handler flash-freezing upon entering a storage, or an old woman and her dog getting struck by speeding cars due to the crosswalk light's length being shortened.
• Physical God: Made In Heaven, and by extension Pucci, is basically this thanks to its ability to accelerate time and extreme manipulation of gravity. The narration implies that this is a power only God with a capital G should have. The only reason Pucci was beaten at all is because Made In Heaven's powers worked against him by speeding up the concentration of Oxygen within Emporio's Burning Down the House.
• Power Incontinence: When C-Moon is first starting to awaken, Pucci's unable to control its power, resulting in a woman's wristwatch accelerating in time and either her baby becoming half-baby, half-man (manga), or her produce eggs hatching into chick embryos (anime).
• Powers as Programs: Whitesnake can extract Stands and memories as disc-like objects. These can be placed in other people to give them those powers and memories.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: C-Moon inherits Green Baby's eyes via the Fusion Dance, leading to the already monstrous Stand looking more demonic. Averted with Whitesnake's Exotic Eye Design and Made In Heaven's lack of visible eye under his bluish tint speed dial mask or cycloptic speed-dial eye.
• Religious Horror: Made In Heaven's designs invokes elements of the Book of Revelation, specifically, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, with the Horseman of Conquest coming to mind. Given that the priest Pucci's plan is bring forth a universal end/restart, it's thematically appropriate.
• Shout-Out: According to Araki, C-Moon is designed to resemble Darth Maul.
• Sudden Name Change: Pucci's third and final Stand was named Stairway to Heaven while the manga was running in Jump, only to be renamed Made In Heaven when the chapters were compiled into trade paperbacks. This is popularly believed to be because the latter's song lyrics fit Pucci's motivations better.
• Super-Speed: Made In Heaven is the most extreme example in the entire franchise so far: its speed, which affects not only the Stand but also Pucci himself and the entire universe, is so great that other Stand users can barely even keep track of him, and that's just at the start, as it keeps getting even faster and faster over time. It eventually reaches a point where he's able to kill several of the heroes in a fraction of a second, not giving them a chance to react. This is reflected in its stats, where its speed is outright listed as infinite.
• Support Party Member: What Whitesnake is supposed to be. However, with DIO being long dead, Pucci has to take center stage himself. This is a significant issue for him because indeed, Whitesnake's repertoire of abilities are support-based, including enemy handicapping, memory conservation, Stand transfer, improved range and illusions. It's absolutely no match for powerful close range Stands like Stone Free, Weather Report or Diver Down, so Pucci has to resort to trickery and creative use of Whitesnake's support skillset to get by.
• Symbol Motif Clothing: Not clothing, but both Whitesnake and C-Moon have stripes running across their bodies with the initials "GΔCT" repeatedly written on them, referencing the four nucleobases of DNA (Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine, and Thymine). Notably, the pattern uses the letter delta ("Δ") in place of "A" — in mathematical notation, the letter delta denotes a quantity change or difference, which might foreshadow the fact that both Whitesnake and C-Moon can evolve.
• Time Stands Still: The effect of Made In Heaven (besides the acceleration of time to the end of the universe) is giving Pucci Super-Speed, but this only applies from the perspectives of everyone but himself. In Pucci's eyes, everything around him is slowing down exponentially, while he himself still moves around at normal speeds.
• Undying Loyalty: Implied. Whitesnake is a fully sentient stand, but unlike some stands of this nature who are liable to go against the user's wishes or otherwise act in ways not intended by the user, Whitesnake fully follows Pucci's orders to the letter, even when his temper gets the best of him.
• Unskilled, but Strong:
  • Whitesnake is a physically powerful Stand, with enough raw strength to impale a human being with its fist. However, it isn't as efficient in hand-to-hand combat against Stands like Stone Free.
  • C-Moon is probably one of the most destructive Stands with its gravitational powers and massive range, alongside its deadly ability to turn objects it touches inside out. However, C-Moon lacks any development potential and in contrast to Whitesnake who can act independently, relies on direct commands from Pucci, such as to avoid targeting Jolyne's vitals twice.
  • Made In Heaven, in spite of its overwhelming power of speeding up time in order to reset the universe, and precise movements in killing its targets, is still a newly metamorphosed Stand with a Development Potential of A. Its fast movements are very predictable and linear in direction, leading to it almost being taken out by Jotaro had it not been for Pucci's Sadistic Choice to ward him off, being injured by Jolyne, and having its own time acceleration power being used against its user when inside of Burning Down the House.
• Voice of the Legion: In the anime adaptation, in addition to having a more deeper voice than Pucci himself, Whitesnake's voice also has a lot of reverb to it.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: Whitesnake is able to alter its own body into someone else, such as Weather Report to fool F.F. into leading him towards Jolyne and the Green Baby.
• Weak, but Skilled: Only by comparison to the protagonists and their Stands at any rate. In order, Whitesnake can impale a fist through a person but can't keep up with a Power-type Stand like Stone Free and Weather Report, necessitating Pucci to play sneaky just to avoid getting bodied, C-Moon has incredible destructive power with its gravity manipulation, but the Stand itself is too physically weak to lift a grown adult pulling a string on its neck, and Made In Heaven's destructive capability is practically incalculable, as speeding up the universe causes immense havoc across the planet and cosmos, but without that speed, it crumbles against a more physically active Stand. This is in contrast to his brother Weather Report, as while he does not have the best control over his own abilities, he's still more than capable of reminding Pucci which twin has the more powerful Stand.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Upon seeing that the one he knew as Foo Fighters has defected to Jolyne's side under the name F.F., Whitesnake attempts to kill them in order to prevent Pucci's identity from being told to Jolyne.
