Team Bucciarati^note Also called "Squadra Guardie del Corpo" in the anime, lit. "Bodyguard Team".

♫ Stand up, join us, modern crusaders alive! ♫^note L-to-R: Leone Abbacchio, Bruno Bucciarati, Giorno Giovanna, Pannacotta Fugo, Narancia Ghirga (below), Guido Mista, and Trish Una.

"So, Giorno, if we ever want to find our man of mystery, we have to get him to notice us. We have to gain the trust of someone close to him, or we'll never be able to overthrow the boss. Our first job is to improve our standing in the famiglia. We'll earn the rank of capo, but you and I can't do it alone. We need a team we can trust. If we want to beat the boss, this is the only way."

— Bruno Bucciarati to Giorno Giovanna

Team Bucciarati is one of many gangster teams within Passione. Led by Bruno Bucciarati, they are trying to rise within ranks of its infrastructure. The team is unique in a sense that Bucciarati has built his team out of society outcasts, meeting each of his members at the lowest point in their lives and taking an active role in uplifting them. As such, they are a close-knit group united as much by comradery as by their deference to Bucciarati's leadership, with the exception of Giorno Giovanna, having instead convinced Bucciarati to let him to join his team as their Sixth Ranger. Its primary activity is to protect their assigned territory and collect the protection money from the restaurants and port, a job at which they excelled considering Bucciarati's popularity among Naples community, as people gladly salute him on the streets and at the same time Bucciarati hears their requests for help. After the death of their capo, Polpo, Bucciarati takes over his position as a caporegime and is assigned to protect Trish Una, the Boss' daughter, until she and her father reunite.

In General

• Agent Peacock: Their style of dress is rather flamboyant, but they're no less dangerous for it.
• Anti-Hero Team: The heroes of this part are criminals who are willing to kill or torture their enemies, and commit crimes such as theft and destruction of property if it's necessary for them to accomplish their goals. Thankfully, they're working for the greater good, while their enemies are even more ruthless and evil.
• The Baby of the Bunch: As a unit, Team Bucciarati/Squadra Guardie is the youngest squad of Passione seen in the series. While the members of La Squadra Esecuzioni and Unità Speciale per Boss are clearly grown men, Bucciarati himself is 20 and most of his squad are young teenagers, with the exception of Abbacchio, who is 21. Trish, upon unofficially joining the team after the Boss tries to kill her, is also 15.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: Bucciarati recruited most of these boys when they were at the lowest points in their lives, giving them the hope and help they needed—getting Mista out of jail when he was sent there unjustly, giving Abbacchio new purpose in his life, and getting Fugo and Narancia off the streets as well as paying for the latter's hospital treatment. With the singular exception of Fugo, all of them decide to defect from Passione with him and protect Trish, even if it means Diavolo and his men will stop at nothing to kill them.
• Criminal Found Family: Team Bucciarati consists of several gangsters from the Passione syndicate, an expansive empire with influences all over Italy and the Mediterranean. The members all have consistently Dark And Troubled Pasts where they've been wronged by the people and systems in their lives. This ranges from Narancia being betrayed by his childhood friends to Abbacchio's betrayal by his time in the corrupt and ineffective police force. The gang all have a deep trust and respect in each other, and their ultimate goal is to take over Passione and turn it into a force of good for the people of Italy.
• Determinator: They're willing to lose limbs to complete their mission. Though it helps knowing that Giorno can fix them back up afterwards.
• Drama-Preserving Handicap: Giorno and Bucciarati's Stands have very modest healing abilities, but they're not as fast or potent as Josuke's. Ergo, the gang never really has to go to the hospital, but they can't be reckless because there are much greater limits on what they can come back from.
• Dwindling Party: In contrast to Part 4's core group of protagonists, who come out of their story relatively unscathed, only three members of the gang (and only one of the original group) survive to the end of Vento Aureo^note discounting Fugo, who left at the end of the first half, and Coco Jumbo, their Team Pet.
• Dysfunction Junction: Their backstories aren't exactly what'd you call nice.
  • Giorno suffered from an abusive household and was ostracized from his peers.
  • Bucciarati's childhood was marked by his parents' divorce and later an attack on his father (that would eventually lead to his death later on), leading Bucciarati to join the Mafia at an early age to protect his family after killing two gangsters to defend his father.
  • Abbacchio was once an idealistic police officer who, disillusioned by the rampant corruption of the law, began making shady dealings that would lead to the death of his partner.
  • Narancia's mother died when he was ten and the boy found himself neglected by his father. After an unfortunate incident in which he was set-up by his "friends", he was reduced to scavenging for food to survive.
  • Fugo's intelligence led his parents to expect too much from him regarding his education, culminating in an incident where he lashed out and attacks a professor, causing his family to shun him. The anime makes this even worse with him being molested by said professor, leading him to attack in self-defense.
  • Aside from the fact that her mother died and nearly every gangster in Italy is after her head, Trish's father was in fact plotting to murder her in order to conceal his identity.
  • Mista's backstory appears to be the least dysfunctional, and even then it involves a woman's attempted rape and him committing murder to stop it. And he ended up in jail for it and would have gotten 15 to 30 years in prison if not for Bucciarati's intervention.
• Establishing Character Moment: The first scene they're featured in, where they're eating at a restaurant. Narancia has a Book Dumb moment and answers an elementary-level multiplication question hilariously wrong, Fugo's temper snaps at this and the two are at each other's throats with a switchblade and a fork respectively. Mista and Abbacchio are content to mind their own business, until the former notices that they ordered four slices of cake and promptly freaks out, and the latter hears that Giorno is joining their group (at which point Abbacchio discreetly pisses in the tea to antagonize Giorno).
• Good Is Not Soft: They have no qualms over killing their enemies, often in very brutal fashion. Which is usually because their enemies are also trying to kill them, in equally brutal ways.
• Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Except for Giorno, Trish and Bucciarati, who aren't above theft but are still tame enough to not stab others in the face for getting a math problem wrong. A lot of the gang's comedic moments typically come at the often physical expense of both random bystanders and each other.
• Home Base: Their HQ is a Neapolitan restaurant (named Libeccio in the anime) that would become a recurring meeting point for Bucciarati and his team.
• Improperly Paranoid: A downplayed version. Everyone is on edge when Bucciarati makes the decision to rebel from Passione. While they're completely right to be so, their first assumptions on what to be worried about (in the Clash and Talking Head fight, a bystander with a stained, expensive suit; in the Notorious B.I.G arc, a fridge with Carne's severed fingers inside) both prove wrong.
• Last-Name Basis: Of the group, only Giorno, Trish and Narancia are consistently referred to by their first names.
• Let's Split Up, Gang!: Justified after their fight with Zucchero shows how easily the gang can be taken out if they're clustered too closely together. Dividing the group to perform certain tasks ensures that either a majority of them will survive to retaliate or that at least one of them can escape with their lives.
• Mr. Fanservice: A whole group of handsome men who sport either Cleavage Window (Giorno, Bucciarati, and Abbacchio), midriff-baring tops (Mista, Fugo) or slight feminine features (Narancia and Bucciarati again).
• Neighborhood-Friendly Gangsters: Ruthless criminals they may be, but they have good intentions in mind.
• Recruited from the Gutter: Most of them were in bad spots before Bucciarati found and recruited them. Narancia and Fugo were living on the streets, Abbacchio had been fired from the police force, and Mista was about to wrongly be sent to jail for murder.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: On one part of the team, you have the quirky and emotive Narancia, Mista, and Fugo (although under normal circumstances, he can qualify for blue) for red. For the other part, you have the straight-faced and collected Giorno, Bucciarati, Trish and Abbacchio (though he can qualify for red sometimes, especially when interacting with Giorno).
• True Companions: Bickering aside, it is clear that they're loyal to each other. This is emphasized further after the group (with the exception of Fugo) decides to rebel against the Boss and save Trish.
• Villain Killer: Whereas previous JoJo teams give most of their enemies a vicious beating, the gang consistently kills their enemies in brutal fashion, mostly because their enemies are also trying to kill them. Only Sale and Zucchero survived them, and only for interrogation.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: All of them (except Mista and Narancia) wear outfits that bare part of their chests in some fashion.
• Would Not Shoot a Civilian: They never go out of their way to hurt civilians unless provoked by them. They are willing to steal from or carjack them, but it's normally to fulfill a purpose and they only go as far as making threats. They also make sure to not get random people caught in the crossfire of their fights, and are appalled when other gangsters like Cioccolata do it.

Giorno Giovanna

Giorno Giovanna / Birth Name: Haruno Shiobana (Stand: Gold Experience)

Voiced by: Kensho Ono (TV anime, JP, Last Survivor, and All-Star Battle R), Phillip Reich (TV anime, EN), Daisuke Namikawa (All-Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven), Romi Park (Vento Aureo video game)

"Come what may, I refuse to give up my dream."

^{Gold Experience}

"This is what it means—to have determination! To forge your path through the darkest of light!"

Son of DIO Brando and conceived after DIO had transferred his head to Jonathan Joestar's body, Giorno Giovanna is a part of both the Joestar and Brando bloodlines. His goal was to join up with the most powerful gang in the Italian mob and set things right from within. As soon as he joins, he gets roped into travelling with Bucciarati's gang of Stand users, eventually protecting their boss' daughter. Giorno is calm and cold under almost any circumstance like his father, but much like his other bloodline carries a fierce and noble goal, and has an unbelievably deep amount of rage boiling inside him. Unlike everyone else in his line, who are all hammy, Giorno prefers a mute, calm rage, though is capable of blowing his top when the need arises.

His Stand, Gold Experience (named after a Prince album), can give life to inanimate objects, usually by turning them into animals or plants, or by giving excessive life energy to someone to make them lose sync with their actions. It also deflects attacks done to the creatures back to the attacker, and later on, Giorno finds a way to heal injuries with it by replacing wounds or missing body parts with objects he's given life to.

Note that for the Theme Naming of JoJo, his name is romanized as Joruno Jobana, though during Part 5, Araki would romanize it as GioGio. It's still pronounced the same. Also apropos to the Italian setting, the fans refer to this part by its Italian title Le Bizzarre Avventure di GioGio.

Bruno Bucciarati

Bruno Bucciarati (Stand: Sticky Fingers)

Voiced by: Yūichi Nakamura (TV anime, JP, Last Survivor, and All-Star Battle R), Ray Chase (TV anime, EN), Jeannie Tirado (Young Bucciarati) (TV anime, EN), Noriaki Sugiyama (All-Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven), Takahiro Sakurai (Vento Aureo video game)

"This filth's being peddled in my city?! It was supposed to be prohibited!"

^{Sticky Fingers}

"Believe me, I realize how all this must seem to you, but the actions I take are righteous and just. I've no regrets. Though our world is unjust, I will strive to walk the path that I believe in."

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

His Stand, Sticky Fingers (named after the Rolling Stones album), can create zippers for a number of needs. Warping himself or objects, passing through walls, detaching and attaching body parts, and so on are on the list of things he can do.

---

• Adaptation Dye-Job: In Eyes of Heaven, his suit is dark blue instead of the usual white it is in all other media, matching his Stand.
• Alliterative Name: Bruno Bucciarati.
• Anger Born of Worry: In Narancia's backstory, when he was about to be discharged from the hospital, Bucciarati told him to go home and stay in school. When Narancia asked to work for him, Bucciarati got angry and told him not to be naive, and (depending on the translation) either threatened to hit him or beat him up if he said that again. However, this did not have the intended effect, because Narancia could tell that the older man had gotten angry because he was worried about him falling into a life of crime, which meant that Bucciarati genuinely cared about him.
• Appendage Assimilation: Sort of. Bucciarati can use his zippers to attach other people's body parts to himself. This aspect can also be used for healing purposes by reattaching a severed limb, as in the case of Abbacchio's hand.
• Awesomeness by Analysis: He is a perceptive fighter, able to analyze his opponents' fighting style, and perceive their weakness. Despite being fatally injured, he was quickly able to deduce the weaknesses of King Crimson and take advantage of them.
• Big Good: Of Golden Wind, arguably moreso than the starring JoJo himself.
• Blue Is Heroic: Sticky Fingers' coloration is primarily blue and silver. Eyes of Heaven also changes the color of Bucciarati's suit from white to blue.
• The Chains of Commanding: Being the capo of a Passione squad means he has to make difficult and sometimes painful decisions. When Abbacchio is killed by King Crimson, he has to decide to leave his friend's body behind to get the rest of his team away from the danger of Diavolo's Stand. To a grieving Narancia, it seems like Bucciarati is being heartless, but then we see that he is biting his lip so hard that it bleeds to keep from showing his true emotions in front of his team so they won't fall apart.
• Characterization Marches On: He was first seen with a relaxed and sadistic attitude (possibly to lower Giorno's guard and intimidate him) in his debut arc when he was investigating Giorno for the death of Leaky-Eye Luca. Afterwards, he had a very serious and unflinching demeanor throughout the story.
• Children Forced to Kill: At 12 years old, he killed the thugs who were about to murder his father on his deathbed for witnessing their drug deal.
• Child Soldiers: He started working for Passione at age 12 to protect himself and his father from drug dealers.
• The Comically Serious: While he is usually straightforward and determined, Bucciarati is more than willing to respond towards mundane stuff in a comedic fashion. For example, during the Baby Face arc, when Trish asks him what she is supposed to do if she needs to go to the toilet, he responds by using Sticky Fingers' power to create a makeshift toilet, much to the Boss' daughter's disgust.
• Contrasting Sequel Main Character: In Part 4, Okuyasu's defining trait is that he wasn't very smart and constantly relied on guidance from others to follow, be it his late brother Keicho or his friend Josuke. Bucciarati, on the other hand, is The Leader of his group, and isn't hesitant to make split-second decisions or Heroic Sacrifices for the sake of his team. They also both have fathers who play integral parts of their backstories, but Bucciarati's father was doomed to die even with Bucciarati's protection due to complications from his wounds, while Okuyasu's was given an even worse fate and rendered unkillable courtesy of the rampant Healing Factor provided by Dio's flesh spore mutations.
• Cursed with Awesome:
  • The bad news is he's a dead man walking and won't be around for much longer. The good news is his non-living body is completely immune to Cioccolata's Green Day, one of the scariest and nastiest Stands in the series that works only on living things.
  • During the climax, Bucciarati's soul swaps bodies with Doppio (while Diavolo snuck in with Trish to Mista) thanks to Chariot Requiem. As his original body already deteriorated to the point where he could no longer walk or even stand in it, this allows him to rejoin the fight as the gang pursues the Arrow. He dies for good once he destroys Chariot Requiem, but he considers it a fair trade-off, as he was pretty much dead anyway and only needed to ensure Diavolo's defeat before he passed on.
• Dead All Along: He really died after his first confrontation with King Crimson. It's only Gold Experience and his own resolve that keeps him going up to the end.
• Detachment Combat: He can do this with his zippers, most commonly seen by detaching an arm and reeling it out on a length of zipper to vastly enhance Sticky Fingers' range.
• Depending on the Artist: In the manga, the black pattern on his chest moves when he unzips his jacket, suggesting it's some sort of lingerie. However, in the anime, it remains static, implying it's a tattoo.
• The Determinator: How determined? At one point he sectioned his heart (among the rest of his whole body) apart into several pieces to avoid detection from Pesci's Stand, almost dying in the process. Later, he keeps fighting the Boss even after King Crimson punched a hole through his stomach, which is usually a rapid killing blow in the series. Later on? He actually died, but through sheer willpower alone, after Gold Experience healed his body, his spirit reanimated his corpse and kept it functioning until his goal was complete.
• Deuteragonist: Giorno is the main hero of Golden Wind, and his actions are what drive the plot and Bucciarati's motivations. However, Bucciarati's status as the leader of the group, his character arc, and his reputation/presence among Passione often put him in positions of focus where Giorno can't be, and opens doors that the fresh gangster couldn't dream of opening.
• Do Not Do This Cool Thing: In-universe example. During their first meeting, he implored Narancia to take advantage of his middle-class status to go back to school and eventually lead an honest life far away from the criminal lifestyle that landed him in a juvenile correctional facility. Narancia was so touched by Bucciarati's concern for his wellbeing that he did the exact opposite and joined his gang after passing Polpo's test, which eventually got him killed by Diavolo.
• Dramatic Irony: While it soon becomes clear that he really died after his initial encounter with Diavolo, something he reveals to only Giorno later on, the others presume he was lucky.
• Drugs Are Bad: Believes this even more strongly than Giorno. Because his fisherman father witnessed a drug deal, the crooks wanted him killed, forcing a 12-year-old Bruno to assassinate them in turn, cementing to him that drugs are a blight in Italy. He initially sees Passione as a pristine organization that prohibits such illicit material from making it into the hands of unwary citizens, showing his respect for the traditions of The Mafia. But upon seeing another gangster possessing multiple bags of cocaine, he realizes drug peddling is still a factor even in Passione's circles, causing his illusion to shatter, and creating a mission to overthrow the Boss and eliminate Italy's drug problems and the suffering they cause.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Zipper Man" in official English translations, which may have been an idea from Araki himself. Contrary to people's beliefs, the Musical Theme Naming is still in play—"Zipper Man" is the name of a song by performed by The Queen Annes.
• Dude Looks Like a Lady: Not as much as Narancia, but it's there. Bucciarati's slim frame, bobcut hairstyle and prominent cleavage can cause some slight gender confusion. Even more so when he's introduced in the manga, where he has very feminine facial features.
• Dying Moment of Awesome: In the last fight, he willingly sacrifices himself by destroying Chariot Requiem in front of Diavolo, preventing him from immediately obtaining the arrow and somehow bestowing it onto Giorno before ascending to the afterlife.
• Early Personality Signs: Even as a child, he was serious-minded and compassionate. As a 7-year-old, when his parents divorced, his mother offered to take him with her to live in the city, but he chose to live with his father, a fisherman going out on long trips often, to keep him from being lonely.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: Literally ascends to Heaven before Giorno's eyes after giving him and the others a last chance to beat Diavolo by destroying Chariot Requiem.
• Edible Theme Naming: Bucciarati is alternately spelled "Buccellati", which is a type of Italian cookie.
• Empowered Badass Normal: Killed two drug peddlers with just a knife to protect his father at the age of 12, and without his Stand power at the time! Once he did get his Stand, he became one of the most competent fighters across the entire cast of Part 5.
• Expy: He's clearly inspired by the Zeppeli Family, particularly William from Part 1, albeit Bucciarati is not as much of a Mentor Archetype to Giorno as William had been to Jonathan (at least not when it comes to revealing and teaching the respective special abilities to their JoJos) but Bucciarati ticks most of Will Zeppeli's character boxes. Most mature character of his Part? A Father to His Men? Check and check. Dresses in white? Check. Born in Naples? Check. More experienced than their respective JoJo at the time of their introduction? Dies in a sacrificial manner before the Final Battle? Inexorably fated to die by an ill omen? Check, check, and check. There's even a plausible fan theory that Bucciarati may well be a distant descendant of the Zeppelis: Mario Zeppeli, Caesar's father, is mentioned to have had a sister, so while the Zeppeli lineage stopped being mentioned in the JoJoverse after Part 2 (before Part 7, at least), it might well have continued existing, albeit no longer as relevant to the narrative.
• Eyes Out of Sight: Sticky Fingers' eyes, if it has them, are covered at all times by a spiked helmet.
• A Father to His Men: He acknowledges the risks that his men take in their line of work, but he'll do his best to keep them out of trouble and will protect each one of them with his life if need be.
• Feel No Pain: After his resurrection, he never reacts to or notices any injuries he might receive, like a nail going through his palm.
• Gold Makes Everything Shiny: His outfit includes subtle touches of gold, including his hairclips and the zippers on his suit.
• Good Parents: Despite being divorced, both of Bucciarati's parents were this towards him, and contributed to developing his noble character. In fact, the avenging of his father's death at the hands of drug dealers is what inspired Bucciarati to ultimately join the mafia in the first place.
• Good Wears White: Bucciarati's bright white suit should be a tip-off that he is the most benevolent member of Passione.
• Hairstyle Inertia: As seen in flashbacks, he has the same bobcut-like hairstyle now as he did when he was a child, only with the addition of bangs in the front and a braid on top of his head.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: His Stand's power is creating zippers. Open zippers to create instant doors in walls or floors, pocket dimensions that no-one but him can access, split enemies apart to disable or kill them, or use it on himself to dodge attacks or extend his arms; close zippers to seal things together, like muffling someone's lips or even reattaching a severed hand; or even place zippers on the ground, open it, and ride the slider for fast transport. All the uses he finds for this power can tend to make you forget Giorno's supposed to be The Hero... which might be the idea.
• Heart Symbol: His chest lingerie/tattoo/whatever it is has a small heart shape in the center.
• Heroic Sacrifice: During the fight with Diavolo over the Stand Arrow, Bucciarati destroys the object behind his head in order to completely destroy Silver Chariot Requiem and restore everyone to their proper bodies, thus preventing Diavolo from getting his hands on the arrow. However, due to his own body being completely decayed at this point (unless the object was his soul, in which case it wouldn't have mattered), Bucciarati finally dies and his spirit ascends to heaven instead. Overlaps with Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu given the nature of Chariot Requiem.
• Honor Before Reason: The second half of the series would have played out very differently if Bucciarati had just left Trish to die after planting one of Giorno's ladybug pins on the Boss instead of attempting to rescue her.
• Hope Bringer: To every member of his team, Bucciarati bestowed upon them a second chance at life when they were at their lowest. Without him, Fugo would still be on the streets, Narancia would have died of an eye infection, Abbacchio would have drank himself to death, Mista would be in jail unfairly, and Giorno's dream would never be achieved.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Gets skewered by King Crimson's fist in their first confrontation.
• It Has Been an Honor: Bucciarati thanks Giorno for having met him in Naples, before ascending to Heaven.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He turns out to be a lot nicer than his first impression suggests.
• Kiai: ARIARIARIARIARIARIARIARI! ARRRIII!!
  Bucciarati: Arrivederci.^TranslationItalian for "goodbye".
• Line in the Sand: After he decides to go against The Boss, he tells the others that if they aren't certain about whether or not they want to follow him, they should stay behind; otherwise, they can get aboard the boat to fight with him.
• Living on Borrowed Time: A variant of it. He's killed by King Crimson, but Giorno's Gold Experience and his own determination is what kept his spirit in his body. Unfortunately, his body slowly starts failing him over the course of the story.
• Loophole Abuse: Sticky Fingers is technically a close-range Stand, but only in respect to Bucciarati himself, who can use its powers on his own body to broaden the area the Stand can operate in.
• Loved by All: There is not a single character who does not like, love, admire, or at least respect Bucciarati. Because he is a kind person yet willing to be ruthless and efficient when he has to, he is respected by other members of Passione and receives Undying Loyalty from the members of his gang. The townspeople in Naples like him so much that they'll willingly give him stuff for free while refusing payment, and an old woman comes to him for help when her friend's son is suffering from a drug problem. Polpo took a liking to him, and even Diavolo was impressed by him before his betrayal.
• Manly Tears: He barely stops himself from crying when he witnesses Narancia's death.
• Meaningful Name:
  • His last name refers to a type of Italian cookie, and he's a sweet (albeit stern) person.
  • His first name may have a number of meanings:
    • One meaning of his name is "armor, protection", and his first duty as a capo is to protect Trish as his team escorts her to to the boss. And he keeps doing that even after he finds out that the boss wants to kill her, risking his life to do so.
    • Phonetically, it may invoke the word "brutal" or "brutality". Despite being a caring person with a strong sense of justice, Bucciarati will not hesitate to violently deal with those who threaten innocent people or the members of his team. As seen when he throws Prosciutto under the wheels of a moving train and uses Sticky Fingers to separate Pesci into dozens of pieces before dropping his dismembered body into a river.
    • It can also refer to a brown-haired or black-haired person, and his hair is black.
• The Medic: His zippers can be used to close up wounds and reattach severed limbs.
• Mr. Fanservice: He's young, handsome, lightly muscular and wears a white suit that shows his toned chest.
• Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters: Why Giorno agreed to be recruited by him in order to to overthrow the Boss. During their fight, he showed visible concern for an unconscious minor whom was on drugs. Then he kicked a soccer ball back to a group of kids after they accidentally struck him. He is also shown to have a good relationship with the community of Naples.
• Nice Guy: Despite his bizarre introduction, it doesn't take long to show off Bucciarati's kindness for others when he shows worry towards the people of Naples who are plagued by Passione's drug game. Bucciarati also commands his team with respect and compassion and will sacrifice life and limb for their safety and was willing to protect Trish Una from Diavolo even though it ended his life because he considers family sacred. Bucciarati is a selfless individual who was willing to sacrifice his life for Giorno's dream of taking over Passione to end the drug trade.
• No-Sell: In his undead state, he turns out to be immune to both the mold produced by Cioccolata's Green Day, which only affects living things, and Secco's Oasis can't bury him alive as he doesn't need to breathe.
• Oblivious Guilt Slinging: His decision to back Giorno's planned coup of the Boss is solidified when a pair of old ladies who trust him beg Bucciarati to do something about the illegal drugs that are leading the youths of their community down a path of violence and addiction; not knowing or unwilling to entertain the idea that Bucciarati himself is part of the organization that is dealing said drugs.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: As an adult, the only time Bucciarati is seen wearing a proper suit without a Cleavage Window is at his father's funeral.
• Open and Shut: Sticky Fingers can place a zipper that can be opened or closed anywhere Bucciarati wishes, from inanimate objects, to living people, to even his own body. Among other things, this lets him create portal holes, create holes in floors and walls, non-fatally dismember people (including himself), and, at one point, zip someone's mouth shut so they couldn't talk.
• Our Zombies Are Different: Revenant Zombie type. He ends up as this thanks to Giorno's Stand powers and his own determination. While he's still the same as before and can even use his Stand (which usually need a form of life energy to possess), he's no longer capable of basic healing, and he slowly decays over the course of the story until his body finally starts failing him in the final arcs. It's also a more grounded version than some zombie interpretations, as his body's failure happens in a matter of days, due to Golden Wind only occurring over a week.
• Papa Wolf: Holds this attitude toward his team members, as part of his Pre-Mortem One-Liner toward Prosciutto before throwing him off a moving train.
  I will complete my mission. I will also protect my men.
• The Paragon Always Rebels: Bucciarati already made an alliance with Giorno at the start of the story in a bid to take over Passione, but after the Boss' attempted murder of Trish, he outright defected from the organization, while requesting assistance from whoever amongst his team wanted to join him. Everyone but Fugo follows. Even Diavolo himself states he was very impressed with Bucciarati's conduct and skills, and had earmarked him for a greater promotion in time, being thoroughly disappointed and enraged with his betrayal.
• Parental Substitute: Bucciarati is the closest thing to a parental figure that Narancia has, trusting the younger gangster to carry out his duties as a member of Passione while protecting him and the rest of the team when he needs to. Which makes it all the more heartbreaking when he has to see Narancia get killed by Diavolo.
• Perpetual Frowner: He was a lot more expressive in his debut, even when not trying to intimidate Giorno. Afterwards, the number of times he gives a genuine smile can be counted on one hand. Not even his Nendoroid has him smiling.
• Personality Powers: Sticky Fingers' ability to create zippers can be taken to represent Bucciarati's desire to better the lives of others less fortunate, metaphorically “zipping” open doors for them.
• Pocket Dimension: He can use Sticky Fingers to make these by attaching a zipper to a solid surface and then hiding stuff inside the resultant opening. What really makes this qualify is that he was able to hide ten billion lire's worth of cash, jewels, and treasure inside a standard sized urinal in a nondescript bathroom.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Holds no ill will to Fugo for abandoning the team, and later admits that it may have been the right call.
• Screw Destiny: Scolippi's Rolling Stones implies that Bucciarati was originally destined to die at the hands of the Boss, fruitlessly trying to protect Trish. But because he met Giorno, who helped him successfully deliver Trish to the Boss and then temporarily revived him when he was impaled by King Crimson, he was able to live on long enough to change the course of fate, protecting his team and Trish for as long as he could and ensuring Diavolo's defeat before passing on.
• Sergeant Rock: He commands the respect of his team and doesn't hesitate to fight the enemy himself.
  Bucciarati: I will complete this mission. I will also protect my men. One of the hardest parts of being a capo is the fact that I have to do both. Are you ready for this? *holding Prosciutto's right hand tightly* I know I am.
• Shoot the Hostage Taker: Did this to Secco when he took Doppio hostage.
• Shoo the Dog: When the gang is about to betray Diavolo, Bucciarati tries to do this with Narancia and tells him he shouldn't get on the boat if he doesn't feel completely sure about it, not wanting him to get killed. However, Narancia ultimately decides to go with the gang and protect Trish from her father. Even if Bucciarati's only visible reaction is mild surprise followed by a worried but proud smile, you can tell he's overjoyed.
• Signature Headgear: A pair of golden, oval-shaped hairclips.
• Sliding Scale of Undead Regeneration: Type 2: No rotting, but no healing either.
• So Proud of You: His tender smile as Narancia swims to the boat, deciding to follow the rest of the gang and protect Trish with them. Although he looks a little worried too, considering the danger they're heading into.
• Spotlight-Stealing Squad: A lot of Golden Wind focuses around him rather than Giorno. He was the person who took Trish to meet the Boss, first encountered his Stand, has the most prevalent character arc, and the entire epilogue is centered around him.
• Super-Strength: In addition to its zipper-related abilities, Sticky Fingers is just as immensely strong as other close-ranged protagonist Stands like Star Platinum and Crazy Diamond, and Bucciarati generally fights by using his powers to set up devastating punches.
• Supporting Leader: Giorno may be the protagonist, but he's the one that leads the gang.
• Supporting Protagonist: Given that he gets the most fights out of the heroes sans Giorno, has by far the most Character Development, and has the entire epilogue centered on him. A very strong argument can be made that Bucciarati is the actual main character of Golden Wind. In a way, the second half of Part 5 is dedicated to Bucciarati passing the torch to Giorno.
• Swiss-Army Superpower: Sticky Fingers is an incredibly versatile Stand, able to unzip others' body parts in a fight, create Pocket Dimensions to hold objects, close up wounds, reattach severed body parts for healing, open pathways between walls and more.
• Tastes Like Friendship: In his subordinates' flashbacks, Bucciarati always (save Giorno) takes the men who eventually join his gang to the same restaurant in order to chat them up a bit before sending them to Polpo.
• Team Dad: He's lenient on his team members, calmly ushering them into the right direction, and even when he has to make a life-threatening decision, he gives his team the freedom of choice of whether or not they want to accompany him.
• This Is Unforgivable!: His reaction to finding out about the Boss wanting to kill Trish all along shifted from horror to outrage, deciding to forgo finding out his identity in favor of killing him then and there.
  Bucciarati (Japanese version): And now... The Boss is now...! The most repulsive form of evil is to exploit innocent people who don't know anything, and to use others merely for one's own gain! A FATHER DID THIS TO HIS INNOCENT DAUGHTER, ALL TO COVER HIS OWN ASS!? This is unforgivable! You have once again betrayed my heart!
  Bucciarati (English version): Now the Boss is... Our damn boss...! His wretchedness makes me want to puke! Abusing the weak and innocent is just a means to an end, profiting from the pain and suffering of countless citizens! COWARD! You'd do it to your daughter!? YOU'RE A FIENDISH MONSTER! You're a disgrace! And you've let me down again! But you've done it for the LAST TIME!
• Thinking Up Portals: If there's no empty space on the other side of the surface that Bucciarati punches with Sticky Fingers, then the zippers he creates opens up a portal to a pocket dimension that can connect with another zipper.
• To Be Lawful or Good: Bucciarati eventually finds out that drugs are being sold to minors in his part of town, but is troubled about how to take care of the drug dealers, since they support Passione. He ends up having to ignore the problem until Giorno comes along.
  • Upon discovering Diavolo's true intentions for Trish, he and Giorno decide that protecting Trish is the right thing to do, so they defect from Passione and hunt down the boss.
• The Tooth Hurts: In their initial confrontation, Giorno punches one of his teeth out and later transforms it into a fly so he can track down the older gangster's hiding location.
• Tragic Dropout: It is implied that he was not able to go to school because he joined the mob at age 12 to protect himself and his father from the wrath of drug dealers. This is also why he tells Narancia to go to school and keep up his grades instead of doing the same.
• Trying Not to Cry: When Abbacchio is brutally murdered, Bucciarati forces himself to keep it together for the sake of his team, biting his lip so hard it draws blood.
• Vocal Dissonance: In the English dub, Ray Chase gives him a deep, smooth baritone voice that contrasts a bit with his feminine features.
• What You Are in the Dark: As soon as he and his team delivered Trish to her father, their job was technically done, and they could have left the island unharmed. But when Bucciarati found out that the Boss intended to kill her, his sense of justice would not allow him to leave an innocent girl for dead, even if it meant putting himself in the crosshairs of the Boss' dangerous, unknown Stand.
• Zipperiffic: He not only has zippers on his outfit, but his Stand allows him to attach zippers anywhere. Zippers are the very basis of Bucciarati's design and abilities, and he makes them far more badass than they should be. This is a reference to how the cover of the original LP for Sticky Fingers, his Stand's namesake, had an actual zipper on it.

Leone Abbacchio

Leone Abbacchio (Stand: Moody Blues)

Voiced by: Jun'ichi Suwabe (TV anime, JP and All-Star Battle R), Mick Lauer (TV anime, EN), Taiten Kusunoki (All-Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven), Tetsu Inada (Vento Aureo video game)

"Giorno Giovanna... You're one folle idiota. To go to these lengths to prove yourself? This kid's even crazier than I thought!"

^{Moody Blues}

"There's a word for folks like me... we're utterly hopeless. We never see things through to the end. And our shortcomings always lead to failure."

A former police officer who became disillusioned by the contradictions of his job and the corruption of the justice system. At one point, he reluctantly took a bribe from a minor crook to let him go. Later, he caught the same crook during a burglary and was threatened with having the bribe revealed if the crook went to jail. Abbacchio's hesitation let the crook shoot at him, making his partner sacrifice his life to save Abbacchio. Abbacchio was ejected from the police force due to this incident.

His Stand, Moody Blues (named after The Moody Blues), can replay events that occurred in whatever location he's present in, by shapeshifting into any individuals that were present at the time and mimicking their previous actions.

---

• Adaptation Dye-Job: In the manga, he has blue eyes and black lipstick. The anime gives him yellow eyes with a purple tint and changes his preferred lipstick color to a pale lavender.
• Anime Hair: He has long hair that spikes upward at the ends in a gravity-defying manner.
• Aloof Big Brother: He's the oldest member of the group, and is rarely receptive to their antics unless spoken to.
• Anyone Can Die: The first of the heroes to die in Golden Wind, if one doesn't count Bucciarati, who was technically Dead All Along since his first meeting with Diavolo.
• Badass Longcoat: He wears a black longcoat that fits his gloomy personality.
• Berserk Button: The mere existence of the unproven Giorno. Abbacchio is consistently antagonistic to him in nearly every interaction with they have.
• The Big Guy: Comes naturally with being the tallest at 188cm and the physically strongest of the group. At least when it comes to the gang dealing with non-Stand users.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: By way of a Meaningful Name, with Abbacchio meaning, "lamb meat," and Leone meaning, "lion." Inverted character-wise, where he's more of a Sheep in Bitch's Clothing to people like Giorno and Fugo.
• Blood from the Mouth: When he dies.
• Brought to You by the Letter "S": His outfit includes a golden belt buckle with the letter "A".
• The Cameo: In All-Star Battle, he uses Moody Blues to operate the sound test/BGM menu.
• Can't Get Away with Nuthin': As a cop, he accepted a bribe once when it seemed like it would be completely harmless. This led to his downfall when the same man who bribed him robbed a store and Abbacchio couldn't arrest him or his corruption would be exposed, letting the crook kill Abbacchio's partner.
• Child Hater: His manga profile says that he dislikes bratty children. Ironically, the last thing he does before his death is help some kids get their soccer ball out of a tree.
• The Complainer Is Always Wrong:
  • Averted. During the Man in the Mirror arc, his argument to Giorno for why they should go and get the key instead of saving Fugo turns out to be what saves them at the end of the fight. Even Giorno himself admitted this.
  • Also played straight. He initially presumed that Giorno was planning something in secret that would end up getting the team killed. While Giorno was planning to fight The Boss, Bucciarati is the one who ends up provoking The Boss.
  • Played straight again when Bucciarati goes to see the Boss. If he didn't allow Giorno to get on the island, the gang would be waiting for Bucciarati's return for far, far longer.
• The Comically Serious: He's not as quirky as the other half of the gang, but he's not utterly humourless and is at least willing to engage in bizarre conversations with them without batting an eye. And there are a few times where he'll get dragged into their antics. Or just take a drink while they're trying to kill each other.
  • While Narancia and Mista are beating the crap out of a man who they think is an assassin, he wastes no time in joining right in. Though not before taking a sip of wine (in the anime).
• Consummate Professional: As shown in the fight with Illuso, Abbacchio is willing to leave an ally (Fugo in this case) behind in favor of prioritizing the mission. Although not out of a lack of empathy or selfishness; when Giorno called him out on this, he made it clear that he personally did want to save him and would want Fugo and Giorno to leave him behind if he was the one in peril. Putting themselves at risk to rescue Fugo and getting taken out with him was the worst possible outcome. This is also part of the reason why he clashes with Giorno so much; the younger gangster's risky ideas and willingness to disobey orders infuriates him.
• Cynicism Catalyst: His noble motives as a cop were gradually whittled away by the unrealistic expectations placed on him and other officers by civilians, eventually leading to him taking his first bribe from a man who was whoring out a woman. This all led his mental state to eventually come crashing down when that very same man murdered a shop owner and Abbacchio's hesitation to arrest him (due to the possibility of his bribes being discovered) led to his partner getting shot and killed in his place. Is it any wonder that when Bucciarati found him, he was stumbling through an alley in the rain with a whole bottle of booze to himself?
• Dead Man Writing: With his last ounce of strength, he uses Moody Blues to leave an imprint of Diavolo's face on a statue.
• Defective Detective: What he became after being recruited by Bucciarati. Though he had became bitter and cynical (and in the anime, turned to alcoholism before being found by Bucciarati), he did not lose his own will and commitment to finding out the truth behind the mysteries that he investigates. This is manifested in the ability of his Stand, Moody Blues, able to replay events as played out by the person who caused them. Even as a gangster, Abbacchio continued being driven to find out the truth with his Stand, to the very end of his own life; this is noted by the spirit of Abbacchio's deceased police partner, who reassures him as he passes away.
• Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life:
  • Abbacchio had lost all his motivation in life ever since he caused his partner's death and lost his career as a cop. The only moment he ever feels to be at ease is when he's serving a purpose from a higher figure without question.
  • After his death, he tells the cop he meets that he's envious of the officer's drive to bring criminals to justice even if he can't find proof and the guilty walk out scot-free due to corruption, stating that he was like Abbacchio before he screwed up and lost his drive by taking a bribe. The cop, who turns out to be his dead partner, congratulates him instead since he found his desire for justice back by choosing to protect Trish and turning his back to Diavolo.
• Determinator: Not as obvious as Bucciarati or others, but still. Abbacchio may no longer be a cop, but he's still driven by finding the truth whenever he faces evidence of a crime or other mysteries concerning him and his team. He is also completely committed to following Bucciarati's orders, regardless of whatever risk to his own safety (a vision that makes him clash with Giorno's ideology of saving allies in danger). At one point he severs his own hand to prevent Illuso from getting Coco Jumbo's key.
• Dirty Cop: He took a bribe from a man who was working with a prostitute, in the belief that he would just get bailed out by a lawyer even if Abbacchio did arrest him and that it would ultimately make no real difference whom the man would pay. It would later came back to haunt him when the same man shot and killed his partner after threatening to reveal the bribery if Abbacchio arrested him this time.
• Dislikes the New Guy: As soon as Giorno joins the team, Abbacchio constantly criticizes and distrusts him.
• The Dreaded: To the Boss of Passione, no less; not because of any destructive powers, but because of his Stand ability. Diavolo dreads the idea of Abbacchio closing in on his location more than any other member of Bucciarati's gang because his Stand would allow him to easily home in on his identity. This is the reason why he gets singled out as the first Diavolo directly kills.
• Dropped a Bridge on Him: He is killed without a struggle, since his Stand is defenseless when in rebroadcast mode and he didn't realize that he was even being targeted until he had a gaping hole through his abdomen.
• Drowning His Sorrows: Took to this after his partner was killed in the anime.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Moody Jazz" in official English translations.
• Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Abbacchio has unnaturally colored eyes (Either blue or a gradient shade of purple and yellow in the anime) that lack the luster that usually comes with the series's eye design. He is, for good reason, rarely ever happy.
• Dying Clue: He managed to use his Stand to create Diavolo's face before dying. Thanks to this, while the team were searching the face on an internet database, Polnareff contacts them, who tells the gang to head for Rome's Colosseum and meet him there to obtain the ultimate method of defeating Diavolo, Requiem.
• Edible Theme Naming: In Italian, abbacchio is a kind of roast lamb.
• Everyone Has Standards: He may not like Giorno, but it's made clear that he doesn't want the guy DEAD.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: As a young, idealistic police officer, his hair was cropped short. After becoming a member of Passione, his hair is longer and spikier with a more untamed appearance.
• Face–Heel Turn: Before joining the mafia, he used to be a police officer. He was originally very sincere about protecting people, but not long after he was stationed in his area, he realized his job had a lot of contradictions and was fundamentally worthless due to the rampant corruption and became a Dirty Cop.
• Fair Cop: He was quite handsome as a police officer, and still is as a gangster.
• Fights Like a Normal: Abbacchio might have Stand powers, but his aren't very good for combat...which is why he just beats the crap out of his enemies with his own four hands whenever he needs to fight. This is reflected in his rare video game appearances, where he mostly uses his unique powers to copy his punches and kicks.
• Goth: He certainly has the look down. Dark clothing, purple lipstick, moody personality, etc.
• Guy Liner: One of the most noticeable part of his appearance is the dark lipstick he wears (black in the manga, purple in the anime), he even wore lipstick when he was a police officer.
• Hate at First Sight: Abbacchio decides he hates Giorno not even an hour after meeting him.
• Hidden Depths:
  • As antagonistic as he is, he really does believe in Bucciarati, and when Bucciarati offers the ultimatum, join him and Giorno or stay with the Boss, Abbacchio barely hesitates with his answer and is the first of the group to join him.
  • Abbacchio never quite makes peace with Giorno, but there are some narrative hints that shows that Abbachchio finally learned to trust Giorno. During the Clash and Talking Head, he force feeds an unconscious man that he, Mista, and Narancia had beat up to see if it was poison like Giorno suggested beforehand. Then he uses Moody Blues' ability with Giorno present, unlike previous times where he demanded Giorno not to watch. After his death, he also leaves behind a clue to Diavolo's identity that only Giorno's Gold Experience would be able to unlock.
• He Knows Too Much: The very reason Diavolo kills him is because his abilities could've revealed who he was.
• Howl of Sorrow: In a flashback explaining his past, Abbacchio can be heard screaming in horror and despair right after the death of his partner.
• I Hate Past Me: It's implied that he hates Giorno so much because he sees some of his young, optimistic self in the new gangster.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Gets skewered by King Crimson's fist.
• Ironic Name: Abbacchio (the food) is meat that comes from a very young lamb, less than 40 days old at slaughter. Abbacchio (the person) is the oldest member of Bucciarati's team.
• Jerkass to One: Abbacchio is aloof toward most people, but is only openly rude to Giorno.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He consistently antagonizes Giorno as the new member and refuses to trust him until the fight with Illuso. In general, he's rather cold and aloof, but is undeniably loyal to the group.
• Libation for the Dead: In the last scene of Part 5, Giorno's memento for their fallen comrades includes a bottle of Abbacchio's favorite wine.
• Liquid Courage: In the anime, he takes a calm, slow sip of wine before joining Mista and Narancia in beating up a civilian.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Has long white hair with a pale purple tint.
• Manly Tears: When Abbacchio realizes the man he has been talking to in the afterlife is none other than his dead partner from when he was a police officer, Abbacchio cannot help himself and begins to weep.
• Meaningful Name:
  • Moody Blues might refer to his near-constant grumpy temperament.
  • Abbacchio is Italian for roast lamb. Considering the other Biblical Motifs in the story of Golden Wind, Abbacchio's death marks him as the "sacrificial lamb" who dies first to show the stakes of Team Bucciarati's war against Diavolo.
• Mundane Utility: The way Leone's Stand works can allow him to fly a plane.
• My Greatest Failure: Taking the bribe which led to his partner's untimely death. It's the sole reason he's as moody as he is in the story, which also represents his Stand and its ability. It's also implied that this is the primary reason why he hates Giorno as much as he does. As Giorno's morals concern justice and doing what's right, echoing what his partner believed in and what he failed to do as a police officer.
• Named After Somebody Famous: His first name comes from Italian film director Sergio Leone.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When the gang is about to choose someone to escort Trish to the Boss, Giorno volunteers, but Abbacchio insists that Bucciarati should go instead. This leads to King Crimson killing him and Bucciarati being undead for some time thanks to Gold Experience. If Abbacchio had never complained, it's likely that Giorno would have come back unharmed and Bucciarati would have lived.
  • Lampshaded by Fugo in Purple Haze Feedback. However, Fugo acknowledges that it's likely that Giorno would have left Trish to die for the sake of finding out the boss' identity.
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: He retrieves a soccer ball that got stuck in a tree for some tourist's kids nearby. In doing so, he lets his guard down long enough for the Boss to get close enough and kill him with King Crimson.
• No Mouth: Moody Blues does not have a nose or mouth, just two eyes that look like film spools.
• Non-Action Guy:
  • Ironically for the tallest and most heavily-built of Bucciarati’s gang, he doesn't fight most of the time, as his Stand is the only one out of the protagonists' that is not suited for combat. It didn't stop him from beating Illuso into the ground the first chance he got during their battle.
  • Averted in the Golden Wind video game though, where his only time of actually fighting was during the Man in The Mirror arc, where his playstyle consists mostly of hand-to-hand combat and using Moody Blues to repeat his actions. He was also close to being playable in Eyes of Heaven, but was scrapped after the developers realized that his playstyle was too complicated to program, and was eventually added as Downloadable Content in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R.
• No Sense of Personal Space: He jabs Giorno in the chest, pulls him by the shirt and/or grabs his chin while trying to intimidate him on multiple occasions.
• Not So Above It All: In the gang's first appearance, he's quietly minding his own business and ignores his teammates' rowdy behavior. When Bucciarati introduces Giorno to them, Abbacchio secretly pisses in a tea kettle, lets his team in on what's happening, and then serves some to Giorno as a prank.
  • Later on, when a random passerby starts yelling at Narancia for splashing him with wine, Narancia and Mista start jumping him after Narancia smacked the dude in the jaw with his glass of wine, thinking he's one of Diavolo's assassins. Abbacchio gives them a disapproving look and calmly sips his own glass of wine... before joining in with equal enthusiasm to stomp the man out.
  • Apparently, he gets his knowledge of planes from TV shows and movies, which he shows off when using Moody Blues to commandeer a plane for the gang. Narancia finds this weird (and so does Bucciarati, in the manga at least).
• Not So Stoic: Really, anytime he's yelling at Giorno.
  • He shouts in desperation when Bucciarati tries to pull a Taking You with Me on Notorious BIG.
    Abbacchio: Stop! Are you really trying to take yourself out of this!?
  • His entire sequence in the afterlife is a steady build up to this. First he laments his failures as a policeman, looking visibly sorrowful while doing so. Then he becomes disconcerted when the officer he had been speaking to calls him by name and when Abbacchio tries to take a bus back to his group. He finally starts shedding Tears of Remorse when he realizes the officer was his partner that died years ago.
• Out of Focus: Kind of what happens when your Stand isn't designed for combat. He only gets two fights, both which come early into the story. As it stands, he's the only hero of Part 5 not playable in Eyes of Heaven.
• Paper Tiger: Leone is the largest and most physically imposing of the gang; according to an interview with Araki, he's even the most physically strong in all of Passione. Unfortunately, being able to fight hand-to-hand doesn't mean anything when you're faced with much stronger Stands, and while Moody Blues is capable of Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs, it is very much not meant for combat in spite of all his bluster.
• Personality Powers: Moody Blues' ability to replay events has its roots in Leone's time as an investigative police officer, and how he can't escape that terrible night when his partner died in his stead. The latter part is reinforced by how Moody Blues resembles Abbacchio himself, sharing his haircut, general physique, and Cleavage Window.
• Pet the Dog:
  • He yells at Giorno to get as far away from Purple Haze as possible, showing that, while he dislikes Giorno, it's not to murderous levels.
  • After yelling at a group of kids to shut up so he can concentrate on getting Diavolo's face and identity, he relents and grabs the stuck soccer ball they were trying to get. He even gives off a light smile after doing so.
• Pick on Someone Your Own Size: Abbacchio spends a significant amount of his screen time picking on Giorno, who is a teenager and six years younger than him.
• Platonic Declaration of Love: "I never had a home or place I wanted to go. The only time I'm ever at ease...is when I'm with you, Bucciarati."
• Properly Paranoid: Played With. Abbacchio seems to dislike Giorno purely for the fact he's the newest member of the gang and gives him grief for about any mistakes or suggestions he makes, showing great reluctance to give him even a little bit of trust or even have him look at his stand at work. Considering Giorno joined the gang with the express purpose is tearing it down more than anything else, it's hard to say his lack of trust was completely off the mark. On the other hand, Abbacchio becomes a traitor as well, so it's closer to Improperly Paranoid or Right for the Wrong Reasons.
• Red Right Hand: Moody Blues can fool fellow Stand users by impersonating the people it's emulating with its powers. The disguises are mostly perfect apart from the tracking bar on their foreheads.
• Signature Headgear: He wears a purple hat that looks like part of a broken eggshell.
• Significant Birth Date: "Leone" means "lion" and "Abbacchio" is a type of lamb. His birthday is March 25th; March is cited as coming "in like a lion, and out like a lamb".
• Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Abbacchio is a cynical, grumpy character who seemingly doesn't have much affection for anyone, especially not Giorno. But deep down, he has been harboring guilt and regret over the death of his partner and the feeling that it's pointless to cling onto hopeful ideals in a Crapsack World.
• Sour Supporter: Opposes pretty much everything Giorno says, but eventually warms up to him. Kind of.
• Stealth Pun: After his death, Giorno uses Gold Experience's power to grow dandelions over the place where he died. In Italian, those flowers are called dente di leone ("lion's tooth").
• The Stoic: Downplayed in comparison to other characters with this trait, including Giorno and Bucciarati. His backstory narration stated that he wouldn't feel a thing even if he lost a limb or if people died in front of him after his Tragic Mistake listed below. He's one of the least emotive members of the gang and rarely shows any other emotion outside of his moody demeanor other than anger or begrudging respect.
• Technicolor Eyes. Yellow eyes with a purple tint in the anime, periwinkle eyes in the manga.
• Time Master: Moody Blues allows him to rewind and re-view events, but he can't interact with them. It's basically a universal security camera.
• Torso with a View: Diavolo punches a perfect circle through his diaphragm, killing him — but not quickly enough to prevent him from finding his identity with Moody Blues.
• Tragic Mistake: Virtually his entire character is tied back to his mistake of accepting a bribe and his subsequent indecision which lead to his partner's death.
• This Is Gonna Suck: His response to Bucciarati's recruitment of whoever was willing to join him on his quest to defeat the boss; Bucciarati would have nowhere to run, assassins would be around every corner, and he would have no moment of rest. Moreover, Abbacchio clarifies that he swore loyalty to Passione, not Bucciarati. And then he walks onto the boat anyway.
• Undying Loyalty: Despite his tendencies to question certain orders, he is utterly devoted to following Bucciarati. Even if it's to the grave.
• Ungrateful Bastard: Even after Giorno gets Coco Jumbo's key and saves him from Illuso's Stand, Abbacchio is still completely distrusting and scornful towards him.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Abbacchio had always thought otherwise ever since the death of his partner in the force, having become disillusioned with himself and his former life as a cop. At the time of his death, said partner appears to him and reassures that he had done well in his final moments. Abbachhio could only shed tears in response.
• Younger Than They Look: It can be easy to forget that Abbacchio is only 21, considering that he comes across as someone who has prematurely aged because of his Dark and Troubled Past.
• Zeerust: An auditory version caused by the sheer gap in time between when Moody Blues was first introduced and its debut in anime; in the anime, it is specifically made to sound like a dial-up telephone with a separate dialer and receiver, as well as a winding VHS tape. While these were still common technologies in the early 90's (and early 00's when the Part is set), they sound horrendously outdated to an audience in 2018. Likely a case of Tropes Are Not Bad, since it works as both a point of reference for when the Part takes place as well as giving it a unique feel compared to other Stands given its powerset is built around monitoring rather than fighting.

"So, I was thinking. People that are vegan. Do they eat cheese? Or does it, like, go against one of their rules, or something?"

^{Sex Pistols}

"I have no choice... that's what it means to have resolve!"

A hotheaded, superstitious, initiative-taker apt with a gun. He lived a simple, carefree life of hedonism until he came across an Attempted Rape, whereupon he instinctively rushed toward the woman's assailant and kneed him in the gut. When the thug's three friends shot at Mista in retaliation (miraculously missing all of their shots), Mista stole one of their pistols, reloaded it, and perfectly shot them all in the face. Mista was arrested for this, the court unwilling to believe this outrageous story, and was sentenced to 15 to 30 years in prison. Luckily, Bucciarati heard of this incident, changed the verdict, and inducted him into the gang.

His Stand is Sex Pistols (named after the Sex Pistols), which is a multi-body Stand like Shigechi's Harvest from Part 4. Sex Pistols is split up into six beings numbered 1 to 7 (skipping 4 due to Mista's fear of the number) which allows him to steer and ricochet bullets mid-flight and make extremely impressive trickshots.

---

• Abnormal Ammo: His Stand consists of six little imps who get fired out of his gun along with the regular bullets, and help direct the bullets to their targets. They also like to eat salami.
• Ace Custom: Fans have noticed that his signature revolver looks like a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard Model 49 (general shape) with the hammer shroud of a Colt Detective Special. Although the Bodyguard in real life has a 5-round cylinder instead of the 6-round one on Guido's revolver and an integrated hammer shroud.
• Accidental Murder: Played With. While he certainly intended to shoot whomever was in Bruno's body after Chariot Requiem swapped everyone's souls, he makes a claim that the shots were not fatal. While this may have been true, he's unaware that Bruno's body was barely holding itself together as it was, and as such causes the soul the body was hosting, Doppio, to bleed out not long after.
• Achilles' Heel: Since his gun and bullets are man-made and not a part of his Stand, this makes Mista pretty much helpless in situations where he's only facing the Stand and not the Stand User. And in order to use his Stand's abilities, he needs to have ammunition and have his gun loaded, leaving him wide open if his opponent charges at the wrong time.
• Adaptation Dye-Job: In the PS2 video game GioGio's Bizarre Adventure, the colors of his hat are reversed, as the main part becomes blue and the arrow becomes red.
• All Men Are Perverts: He stares at Trish's cleavage (plus her nipple in the manga), and encourages a reluctant Fugo to do the same. When he ends up in Trish's body thanks to Chariot Requiem, he ends up touching himself, much to Trish's disgust.
• Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: The tops of Sex Pistols' heads are shaped like bullets.
• Attempted Rape: Before he joined Passione, he ran into a street gang member trying to rape a woman. His determination to stop them revealed his extreme skill with a gun, and he was sentenced to prison for that.
• Back from the Dead: Not Mista himself, but due to the nature of colony Stands, individual Pistols have been outright destroyed either directly or by Mista's failing health, only to come back when their User is healed.
• Bang, Bang, BANG: Discussed. At one point, Mista lampshades that his gun isn't as loud as "those you hear in movies".
• Bash Brothers: With Giorno, who he is teamed up with surprisingly often. He was the first to back Giorno's plan to go after Zucchero's partner, they've teamed up multiple times since then (mainly against Ghiaccio and Cioccolata), and their Stand abilities can be comboed with each other to great effect in certain situations. In particular, Cioccolata learns about the creative ways Giorno can utilize Mista's bullets the hard way when Giorno turns one shot into a tree branch that intercepts the doctor's helicopter.
• Beware the Silly Ones: He and his Stand tend to be fit into a comic relief role in the team, but his track record across the entire part shows that he has every reason to be in their ranks. The final arc for instance has him attempt to scare Scolippi into recalling his Stand by playing Russian Roulette on him; it's only unsuccessful because of Scolippi's Stand, which Mista doesn't know about at the time.
• The Big Guy: Though the group has other Stands which can be used to more destructive effect than Sex Pistols, Mista is designated as the team's hit-man. While many of Bucciarati's Team have other functions outside of fighting, Sex Pistols has no powers beyond being really good at shooting things and Mista's major role is as the group's enforcer.
• Big Eater: Sex Pistols loves eating. They're introduced refusing to work until Mista feeds them slices of salami that are bigger than them combined, and when Coco Jumbo is hitchiking in the truck, Number Two and Three refuse to share a stolen hamburger and eat it by themselves.
• Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics: Sex Pistols induces this onto Mista's bullets via kicking them around, being able to chain their kicks up to six times in basically any direction Mista wants.
• Born Lucky: His superstitions might be onto something, given how much he succeeds when he adheres to them and that he's both survived and won far more fights than he "should" have. In Purple Haze Feedback, he outright describes himself as "born under a lucky star". In his backstory alone, entire guns are emptied on him point-blank and every shot misses (though this one may have been a subconscious effect of Sex Pistols).
• Butt-Monkey: Number 5 of Sex Pistols is always getting beaten up by Number 3, possibly due to the fact that it could have been Number 4.
• Carpet of Virility: Trish notes that Mista has a lot of body hair, even on his fingers.
• Cassandra Truth: The circumstances that led to his arrest made it impossible for anyone to believe that he was acting in self-defense. Who would believe that someone acting in self-defense could be missed by eighteen shots fired at near-point blank range, take a gun from one of the shooters, steal ammo then reload the gun while being shot at, then kill three shooters? His fearless charge made it look more like an successful murder than Mista defending himself.
• Character Catchphrase: The Sex Pistols love to yell "Yeeeee-haaaaaw!" when riding Mista's flying bullets, possibly a Call-Back to Hol Horse of Part 3, a cowboy who also had a bullet-controlling Stand.
• Cloudcuckoolander: He's got a few weird moments under his belt. He dances along with Narancia and Fugo while torturing Zucchero, comments that having his wounds stapled shut looks cool, and of course he has his problem with the number four.
  • Guido's strange mind is best reflected through his Stand- the reflection of his soul, Sex Pistols, who each have a defined personality quirk, inter-social relationships between each other, and Guido treats them like their own individuals. In comparison, the very few that do have personalities reflect their users' poor understanding of their powers, such as with Echoes ACT3 and Spice Girl when Koichi and Trish first develop them — but Mista is an experienced Stand user with exceptional control of Sex Pistols in combat. Their unique nature shows how odd Guido is compared to people, let alone other Stand users.
• Commonality Connection: He comes to this conclusion at the end of his and Giorno's fight with Ghiaccio, realizing that they both shared the same resolve. Notable, they both refuse to leave an ally behind.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Sex Pistols being strong enough to redirect bullets by kicking them implies that it has high physical strength relative to its size, but they're nigh-incapable of manipulating anything other than bullets. Beach Boy's fishing hook and part of Bucciarati's torso are both things outside the realm of Sex Pistols to push around.
• Cutting the Knot: Mista's go-to strategy for dealing with enemy stand users is that he focuses much less on defeating the stand as much as he attempts to take out the user as fast as possible. The reason of this is largely due to his Logical Weakness: His stand has no offensive capability on their own and relies on normal pistol bullets to truly get to be effective, and since typically only stands can hurt stands, his best bet is getting rid of the root of the problem rather than tackling anything else.
• Determinator: Best shown when fighting Ghiaccio. He continued to unload at his opponent even when he was just about ready to keel over from his injuries and blood loss.
• Disney Death: Apparently shot dead by Prosciutto, but managed to survive thanks to his Stand.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Six Bullets" in official English translations.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference: His first few appearances in the manga show him wearing sandals before they're changed out for boots.
• Eating Optional: Stands don't need to eat, but the Sex Pistols love to eat salami and won't work if they're not fed.
• Edible Theme Naming: Slightly more subtle than the others, however. Insalata mista is Italian for "mixed salad".
• Empowered Badass Normal: He was already a skilled marksman before receiving his Stand. Sex Pistols made him even stronger.
• Exotic Eye Designs: His pupils and irises are solid black.
• Filching Food for Fun: Sex Pistol No. 3 makes its first appearance stealing a slice of salami from the crybaby No. 5.
• Fights Like a Normal: Sex Pistols mostly exists to support Mista's already great marksmanship, and he needs to use an actual firearm with bullets for his Stand to be effective.
• Flanderization: His superstition is only that the number 4 is unlucky, but Purple Haze Feedback shows he's also scared of the number 2 and refers to himself as the mafia's number 3, with Polnareff as the number 2 because 2 is the square root of 4.
• Four Is Death: A firm believer in this trope, due to a childhood incident involving some cats which resulted in Mista associating the number 4 with general misfortune. This is also why the numbering for Sex Pistols skips from 3 to 5. In addition, he put 4 bullets in total into the guys in the rape he stopped, and was put in prison for it.
• Fun Size: The Sex Pistols might be one of the tiniest Stands in the entire series. Each of them is small enough to fit in a revolver's cylinder.
• The Gunslinger: Whilst his Stand's ability to ricochet his shots in whatever direction he wants helps, Mista is a gifted sharpshooter in his own right, his uncanny precision with a revolver supported by his ability to keep his cool even in the middle of a gunfight. For example, in the White Album fight, he shoots a metal screw to launch it in the air, then shoots the flying screw's head in such a way that it gets launched towards his enemy. Later that fight, he ricochets bullets off a lamppost to hit his target, while simultaneously using those bullets to carve a sharp spike out of the metal. Both of these feats are accomplished without using Sex Pistols to augment his firing skills.
• Guns Are Useless: Played with. On one hand, Mista is a crack shot, and many Stand users he fights have to play around his deadly aim. Even with their superhuman abilities, a gun is still a gun, and even a non-fatal shot can cripple one of his opponents. On the other hand, many of Mista's opponents have some kind of ability that neuters the effectiveness of his gun, forcing him to adopt unusual tactics to win.
• The Hedonist: Prior to his joining of Passione, he was content to lead a leisurely, easygoing life.
• Hidden Depths: Despite being a carefree individual, Mista can suddenly have (bad) philosophical outbursts, though he might also be trolling. Examples include his reflections about if vegetarians can't eat eggs or cheese (confusing them with vegans), wondering how they do without shoes or handbags since they're made of leather. During the penultimate episode, he theorizes that human meat would taste awful since all animals that humans eat and taste good are herbivores, meaning carnivores are not eaten by humans because they must taste bad since they eat meat and, since humans eat meat, by definition they don't taste good.
• Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Hooks Zucchero's living severed head by the eyelid with a magnifying glass pointed into it... then dances with Fugo and Narancia.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Ironically, Mista gets shot with his own bullets very frequently. Whether it's the Attack Reflector capabilities of Kraft Work, Beach Boy, and White Album, to Chariot Requiem taking control of Sex Pistols No. 1 to redirect the bullet back to Mista, or even Prosciutto taking Mista's gun to finish him off. Then again, at least he doesn't shoot himself out of straight-up incompetence, unlike Hol Horse. Hilariously, the one time when he has a good reason to actually shoot himself, specifically when he's trying to stop Diavolo from using his body to catch up to Silver Requiem, he can't despite his best efforts.
• Hypocritical Humor: In Eyes of Heaven, winning a battle with Narancia may trigger dialogue where Mista tells him that he needs to aim better. This coming from a guy who gets hit by his own bullets at least Once an Episode.
• I Know Madden Kombat: The way that Sex Pistols redirects bullets exclusively by kicking and their chants of "Pass pass!" are very much reminiscent of a rather weird game of football. Then again, Mista is Italian, so the Pistols could have learned their moves by watching calcio with him.
• Informed Flaw: He's called hairy and smelly by Trish, but there's no real evidence shown of this on screen.
• Inverse Law of Utility and Lethality: Despite all the strengths of Sex Pistols, you can pretty much count the number of times Mista actually successfully shot and killed someone with it on one hand.
• Ironic Name: He's terrified of the number 4, but his full name (Gui-do Mis-ta) is 4 syllables long, and the fourth letter of his first name is the fourth letter of the alphabet.
• Irony:
  • Mista hates the number 4 and ends up working for a guy whose birthday is April 16, or 4/16.
  • As unlucky as he thinks the number 4 is, Sex Pistols Number 5 — who is the fourth member — is usually the one that comes in clutch to save him. In the fight against Prosciutto, it blocks the bullets from being lethal and saves the last fragment of ice to keep Mista alive, and during the fight against Cioccolata, Number 5 is the Sole Survivor and plays an integral role in the fight's outcome.
• It Can Think: Each Sex Pistol has a personality separate from Mista. In a few cases, they were able to assist and support the rest of the gang while their user was incapacitated. No.1 is the leader, No.2 is the Number Two, No.3 is a bully to the others, particularly No.5 who cries 24/7, No.6 is belligerent, and No.7 is excitable.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: No.3's main trait is that it bullies No.5, but No.3 is also the first one to attempt saving another Pistol when it gets frozen by White Album.
• Kryptonite Is Everywhere: Mista often finds himself going up against opponents who have abilities that either let them deflect his bullets or neutralize their momentum completely. The one time he gets an outright easy kill in the form of Carne, things go horribly wrong for the entire gang.
• The Lancer: To both Giorno and Bucciarati, though in fairly different ways.
• Last Note Nightmare: His theme song is chiefly an upbeat dance tune reflecting his formerly carefree existence until the sounds of the gunshots that began his life as a criminal intrude, causing what's left of the track to go heavier and darker.
• Logical Weakness: Mista's gunplay is brutally effective on paper, and the Sex Pistols make his shots even more accurate and lethal. The main catch is that he needs his revolver to pull any of his Stand abilities off, and he obviously needs bullets to fire. If he runs into a Stand that can ignore or negate his shots, he swiftly becomes outmatched. And since his powers depend on him having a revolver, losing his preferred gun makes his combat effectiveness suddenly tank.
• Made of Iron: Even compared to the rest of the cast, he takes some truly brutal injuries.
  • He apparently started their week by falling seven stories onto a car and walking it off to defeat Rolling Stones.. This ends up being the mildest injury he suffers, and it was before he met Giorno.
  • His fights generally end with him somehow having tanked way more damage than a normal human ought to be able to. The most ridiculous injury he survives is either getting shot in the head three times — or shrugging off a mortal wound that blank-eyed Trish while her spirit was in his body, just by swapping back.
  • His Logical Weakness may cause his combat effectiveness to suddenly tank, but he survives by being the tank.
• Man, I Feel Like a Woman: While under the effects of Chariot Requiem and ended up in Trish's body. Naturally, she immediately called him out.
• Meaningful Name: A "Guido" is a derogatory term used to refer to men (usually Italian-Americans) who are socially unsophisticated; as someone who was content to live a very simple life up until his joining of Passione, this fits Mista rather well. From Italian, it can also be translated as "to steer", which reflects his Stand ability in Sex Pistols.
• Mid-Season Upgrade: Zigzagged; during the final arc, his revolver got destroyed by King Crimson, so he ends up stealing a Beretta 92FS from a cop who got soul-switched with a criminal that tried to assault him when his soul was in Trish's body. While a Beretta 92FS is a decent gun with a higher ammo capacity than Mista's revolver, his Stand takes the form of six "bullets", not fifteen. This means that the other nine bullets in the Beretta magazines are useless in the sense that they can't be controlled by the six Sex Pistols and that it takes longer for Mista to load them in the Beretta mags in comparison to the swing-out cylinder of his revolver.
• Never Bareheaded: Never seen without that coif-like hat of his. Before he joined Passione, he wore a purple woolen beanie instead.
• Nice Guy: Compared to his fellow gangsters, Mista is easily the most easy-going and friendly of the group (so long as nothing related to the number 4 comes up or he's not fighting). When Giorno brought up his plan to take out Zucchero's partner before the boat docked at Capri, Mista was the first to go along despite Giorno's newness to the group and the shaky foundation of the plan itself. While his jail sentence and the life of a mafioso has hardened him, there's still a lot of the kindly, carefree young man he used to be left in him.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: He never finds out, but it's possible that Mista sealed the fates of Abbacchio and Narancia by attempting to change the shape of Rolling Stones. The death-predicting Stand ends up taking the forms of the two in addition to Bucciarati.
• No One Gets Left Behind: He refuses to leave Giorno behind in the fight with Ghiaccio when the latter tries to pull a Heroic Sacrifice.
  • Likewise, the Sex Pistols themselves will try to save each other if they're in a bind, giving up only when ordered to.
• Non-Standard Character Design: A rarity in the anime by virtue of having black pupils with no defined irises.
• Number Two: He acts like the main character's sidekick in the second half of the manga and as the Underboss to Don Giorno Giovanna after the end of Golden Wind. Averted only in Purple Haze Feedback, where Mista says that he turned down the position as Giorno's second-in-command because 2 squared makes 4. Polnareff serves as this instead, with Mista content in his role as Giorno's point-man.
• The Pig-Pen: According to Trish, he smells really bad, and his fingernails are really bizarre, implying he never clips them. It isn't until she tells him this that Mista realizes how dirty he is, contemplating whether or not he should take a shower.
• Punny Name: Sex Pistols consists of six creatures that live in Mista's pistol.
• Purple Is the New Black: In the last scene of Golden Wind, Mista wears a purple variation of his outfit.
• Revolvers Are Just Better: His signature weapon is a blued, .38 Special stub-nosed revolver with a custom hammerguard. Even better with a Stand that can speed up the reloading process and control the trajectory of the bullets. It is Justified, though; a six-shooter would naturally pair well with the six Sex Pistols, and when he does obtain a magazine-loaded handgun in Rome, it's more cumbersome for Sex Pistols to reload due to having to place the bullets in the magazine before putting that into the gun, instead of all the Pistols loading a revolver's chamber simultaneously.
• Ridiculously Cute Critter: You wouldn't think so at first, but the Sex Pistols are surprisingly cute, acting like little kids and demanding food.
• Russian Roulette: Employs this in the final arc to pressure Scolippi to recall his stand, only with three bullets in a row instead of just one. As Rolling Stones didn't predict Scolippi's death, his four attempts to shoot occupy all three empty chambers before reaching a dud bullet, leaving Scolippi alive.
• Say My Name:
  • Sex Pistol No. 5, the timid one, has a tendency to wail, "Mistaaaaaa!!" when upset.
  • Mista screams, "NARANCIA!" in despair upon seeing the boy's body impaled on the posts of a spiked fence.
• Ship Tease: With Trish at the end of the Part, who claims to have gotten used to his "terrible smell".
• Signature Headgear: He wears a uniquely coif-shaped headgear with a diagonal grid pattern and the front shaped like an arrow, although the shape of the arrow's body could have been designed differently.
• Signature Scent: Trish notes that Mista has a distinctive scent to him that she dislikes at first but comes to find comforting.
• Significant Birth Date: Of the ironic variety. His birthday is December 3 (12/3 = 4).
• Simple, yet Awesome: Compared to the more out-there Stands in the franchise, being able to redirect bullets fired from a gun is nothing short of mundane. However, a number of things make Mista very dangerous in a fight. For starters, close-range power type Stands are outranged by his gunfire, and moving targets can be taken down by Mista simultaneously redirecting several shots into them from impossible angles. The Sex Pistols are fast little buggers too, meaning that Mista can often redirect his shots faster than his foes can react. It's also shown that using Sex Pistols effectively can easily take opponents off-guard, allowing Mista to land some devastating feint attacks. He uses a gun, after all, and no matter how strong you are, all it takes is one good shot to a vital organ for you to go down, Stand or no Stand. There's also the fact that, because the Sex Pistols are linked, he can use them as fast, effective scouts. By simply shooting off a number of them in a wide area, they can report back to him what they see - or even assist an ally.
• Sole Survivor: Downplayed, but by the end of Vento Aureo, he's the only original Team Bucciarati member to survive (Discounting Fugo for leaving the group ; Giorno and Trish were new recruits).
• Synchronization: Played With.
  • Damage to Sex Pistols reflects onto its owner, but, perhaps owing to the fact that there's six rather than one, Mista doesn't get hurt too badly. When they fight Cioccolata, he absolutely shreds five of them, dealing fatal blows to each and while Mista is hurt he's not decapitated or smashed like they were. Giorno notes that it would take the destruction of all of the Pistols for Mista to die.
  • Similarly, damage to Mista doesn't reflect onto the Pistols like certain other Stands. In addition, summoned Pistols can remain active even if Mista is knocked unconscious during a fight (an uncommon but not unheard of ability). Even after his defeat in the Pesci and Cioccolata fights, the other heroes still had one of the Pistols to help them out.
• Talking Weapon: Subverted. His gun is a normal weapon, but it's his non-offensive Stand that's living.
• Trademark Favorite Food:
  • The Sex Pistols eat salami more than any other food.
  • Mista loves strawberry cake, though he'll be too afraid to take a slice if there's four pieces of it.
• Tranquil Fury: He's normally mellow, but when in combat he enters a dead serious state of concentration to the point where he once calmly stood in one place reloading a pistol while being shot at by several gangsters before putting four rounds in each of their faces.
• Troll:
  • When Fugo accidentally lands face first in Trish's chest, Mista accuses him of doing it on purpose.
  • Likewise, after his bit about why human meat would taste bad, he claims Narancia would taste better than the other members of the team since he eats less meat.
• Unorthodox Reload: He reloads with bullets dropped from his hat in the heat of battle or has Sex Pistols reload his gun, but reloads normally just as often.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Previously, Mista was a laidback hooligan who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. But a whirlwind of murder, incarceration, and the stresses inherent to his subsequent criminal lifestyle turned him into a fussy, neurotic gunman.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Narancia. The two of them bicker often, such as when Mista pours his drink on Narancia's radio or yells at him for eating all the chocolate, but they are also good friends and care about each other, with Mista shooting the engine of a boat to blow it up and propel Narancia to safety when he's being eaten by Green Day's mold. When Narancia is killed by Diavolo, Mista weeps over his friend's body. This even carries over to their appearance in Eyes of Heaven, where they have a unique DHA that involves the Sex Pistols riding Aerosmith, as well as winning dialogue where Mista tells Narancia he needs to aim better and Narancia tells him to shut up.
• Weak, but Skilled: By itself, his Stand is the weakest in terms of power out of Bucciarati's group (including Moody Blues, which isn't even meant for combat), and he's pretty much helpless if he doesn't have a gun with bullets. But with his talent as a marksman, skill in commanding his Stand, identifying the weaknesses of his enemies, and nigh-inhuman toughness, he can hold his own against much stronger Stands. Considering that his enemies are still human, they are still vulnerable to gunfire like any ordinary person.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He'll freeze up whenever number four comes up, like if he has only four bullets left for his revolver or if there's only four pieces of cake left.
• Wife-Basher Basher: Mista's first taste of his Stand abilities came when he kills a group of thugs attempting to gang-rape a woman.
• The Worf Barrage: Believe it or not, shooting the enemy is far less successful than you would think for Mista, and what attempts that don't fail to injure the enemy often causes Mista to get himself inured with those bullets instead.
• The Worf Effect: Brave, intelligent, dependable, and frequently puts up enough of a fight to get thrashed around so Bucciarati or Giorno can see how dangerous an opponent is. Downplayed as, even when defeated, his contributions are almost always what allow Bucciarati or Giorno to defeat the enemy afterwards.
• Wrong Context Magic: It is possible for a Stand to have a personality of its own, or for a Stand to consist of multiple beings. However, Sex Pistols is the only one to be both of those sub-types at once, as a colony Stand where each member has a personality separate from the others.

Narancia Ghirga

Narancia Ghirga (Stand: Aerosmith)

Voiced by: Daiki Yamashita (TV anime, JP, Last Survivor, and All-Star Battle R), Kyle McCarley (TV anime, EN), Yuko Sanpei (All-Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven), Fujiko Takimoto (Vento Aureo video game)

"Merda! Talk about bad news! I don't know how this guy found out about our mission, but he's onto us!"

^Aerosmith

"When we're back in Napoli, it's off to school! Hot damn, I'm already psyched! The first thing I'll do is stuff my face with an authentic Margherita slice! Might even top it with porcinis!"

A boy who dropped out of school to just have fun with his delinquent friends, only to be framed for a crime he didn't commit by the very same so called friends. After being found by Fugo, Bucciarati let him into his group. Very cocky, cranky, and head-strong, Narancia is the only member of Bucciarati's to act his age or anywhere close. He's very emphatic to people as well and has the unfortunate streak of being hit by Stands first.

His Stand, Aerosmith (named after the band Aerosmith), looks like an RC fighter plane. It's a long distance Stand capable of shooting off live ammo as either multiple bullets or bombs and can act remotely by giving Narancia a radar that responds to carbon dioxide (particularly breathing).

---

• 2D Visuals, 3D Effects: It's not too badly noticeable, but Aerosmith uses a 3D model in the anime.
• Abusive Parents: Narancia's father was completely emotionally distant from him, from coldly walking away when Narancia was talking about his mom's death, to not even bothering to acknowledge him when Narancia was released from juvie.
• Adaptational Curves: The anime gives him a more chiseled physique with defined abdominal muscles. Combined with being voiced by a male voice actor instead of a woman like in his previous appearances make him less androgynous looking.
• Adaptational Dye-Job: The anime changes the colored manga's palette for Aerosmith from blue and purple to red and silver. Notably, it's the only Stand among Bucciarati's gang to have its color scheme changed.
• Adaptation Expansion: The anime adds a scene where Narancia is standing at his mother's grave while thinking about when he was in the hospital and Bucciarati yelled at him for wanting to join the mafia, trying to scare him away from a dangerous path in life.
• Ax-Crazy: Despite his tiny stature, Narancia is one of the most volatile members of the gang and is swift to retaliate with brutal violence when a threat is nearby. If you don't want to be peppered full of Aerosmith's bullets, don't make him mad.
• The Baby of the Bunch: Although he's not the youngest of Bucciarati's gang, he's the smallest and most childlike.
• Badass Adorable: He looks and can be adorable at times. Not so much however if you piss him off. He kills four other Passione members by himself, all of them older than him, with two being members of an assassin team and the other two being members of the boss's elite guard.
• Berserk Button: Do not talk about his lack of education if you aren't a part of Bucciarati's group. Even if you are, you should still watch out.
• Beware the Nice Ones: His anger issues aside, Narancia is the most outwardly friendly member of the group, and his dorky nature and kind heart are easily visible through how easily he gets along with the rest of the team. As the Little Feet arc demonstrates, this does not mean he's a pushover, as he delivers one hell of a beatdown on Formaggio while having a Freak Out. If Formaggio wasn't quick on his feet, Narancia would have instantly killed him during their initial exchange, and Aerosmith proves to be a downright deadly Stand under Narancia's control.
• Book Dumb: Since he never properly finished school he has problems with stuff like basic math, hence boneheaded results like 16 x 55 = 28. His level of education is placed around the third grade.
• Brain Bleach: Doesn't take well to seeing Giorno healing the wounds of a laid-down Mista.
• Bratty Half-Pint: The shortest and youngest-looking of the main protagonists, and also the most ill-tempered.
• Bruiser with a Soft Center: He's among the most aggressive and ill-tempered members of the gang, and he's the most passionate about helping Trish after her own father tries to kill her. He cares so much that he doesn't want Bucciarati to tell her about the Boss in order not to shock her.
• Butt-Monkey: Seems to have a bad problem with being the first person subjected to the newest enemy's Stand, especially if it's a potentially humiliating one like shrinking, rapid aging, or being unable to say what you mean. And if everyone is subjected to the newest enemy's Stand, he will always get the worst of it.
• The Cameo: In the first opening song of the Stone Ocean anime, Aerosmith appears for a split second as a graffiti picture on a wall.
• Character Tics: Standing with his arms out to either side, head hunched forward, so that Aerosmith can uses his arms and shoulders like a runway.
• Child-Like Voice: Since he's one of the lankier and more boyish-looking guys in Bucciarati's team, Narancia has a notably childish voice, courtesy of Daiki Yamashita.
• Commonality Connection: While agonizing over if he should join Bucciarati in betraying the Boss and initially staying behind, as the team's boat is leaving he spots Trish's injured arm and realizes this of her and himself as they were both betrayed by someone they trusted. This spurs him to dive into the water to join the rest of the team sans Fugo.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Book Dumb and Butt-Monkey status aside, Narancia can hold his own when he wants to, and can come up with good strategies on the fly.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: Although Narancia is voiced by a male in the anime, it was a different story with his video game counterpart. As a result, his voice became more childish and cuter, making him sound like he hasn't reached puberty.
• Cute and Psycho: His child-like appearance heavily contrasts his short-tempered, borderline psychotic personality. In his very first appearance, he happily shows Fugo his finished math problem like a little kid, and then 30 seconds later, he's holding a knife to his tutor's throat (to be fair, this was right after Fugo stabbed him in the face with a fork for getting it wrong and then bashed his head several times against the table).
• The Cutie: Downplayed — while Narancia can be hotheaded and aggressive, he can also be adorable, playful, childlike and innocent when he's in a good mood. There's an official trading card featuring him titled Pure and Innocent, Narancia.
• Depending on the Writer: In the manga, his zodiac sign is Taurus, but in the anime, his sign is Leo.
• Dropped a Bridge on Him: Diavolo kills him without any real warning, off-screen. The group figured it was so his Stand's CO2 radar wouldn't notice someone else chasing after Silver Chariot Requiem. Later, we find out this was a double-bluff on Diavolo's part, sending them looking for an extra person while Diavolo was hiding within their group.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Li'l Bomber" in official English translations.
• Dude Looks Like a Lady: Fitting, given his Stand's namesake. He has a feminine name and face, wears a spaghetti-strap tank top and skirt, and has a voice actress in some of the video games. The anime downplays it by giving him visible abdominal muscles and a slightly deeper, clearly male voice, as well as having him use the explicitly masculine Japanese pronoun ore.
• Edible Theme Naming: "Narancia" sounds like a blend of the words for "orange" in Italian ("arancia") and Spanish ("naranja"). Hence the orange highlights in most colored artwork.
• Everyone Has Standards: As violent and impulsive as Narancia is, even he wouldn't risk releasing Aerosmith in search-and-destroy mode in a crowded area where it could potentially cause massive collateral damage in search of its actual target.
  Narancia: I guess I don't need to set the whole city on fire now.
• Eye Scream: He got an infection in his left eye, just like the one that took his mother, from getting beaten up by the police. But thanks to Bucciarati, he gets better.
• Family Theme Naming: His name comes from the Italian word for "orange" (arancia), while his mother Mela's name means "apple".
• Five Stages of Grief: His reaction to Abbacchio's death. He switches from refusing to believe he's truly dead and that Giorno could heal him, to making threats toward Giorno when it became clear he couldn't, to finally becoming overcome with grief and tearfully begging Bucciarati not to leave Abbacchio behind.
• Foil: To Fugo. Both have short fuses, but when they're not being set off, Fugo is serious and caring while Narancia is cocky and arrogant. Fugo is smart and entered into university at the age of 13, but Narancia is 17 and has trouble with an elementary-level math problem. Neither of their parents were very good, but Fugo's parents had incredibly high expectations of him, while Narancia's dad neglected to care for him, yet both Fugo and Narancia ended up having to live on the streets from a combination of their parents' actions and their own behavior. Once he makes up his mind, Narancia is the most passionate member of Bucciarati's gang about helping Trish; Fugo is the first one to make his decision, and is also the only one to not follow Bucciarati.
• Foreign Cuss Word: In the English dub, when he's cornered in his car by Formaggio, he ends up exclaiming, "merda," which is the Italian equivalent of yelling out, "shit!"
• Frame-Up: Was tricked by one of his friends to dye his hair blonde, and ends up being framed for assaulting an old woman, who mistook him for his blonde friend.
• Gender-Blender Name: The words that make up his name ("naranja" and "arancia") are feminine nouns in their respective languages (Spanish and Italian).
• Generation Xerox: His mother, Mela, ended up dying from an eye infection. After he was framed by his "friend" for a crime he didn't commit, Narancia ended up getting an eye infection himself while he was in prison, though thankfully, Bucciarati ended up paying his medical bills to make sure he'd be cured.
• Hair Color Dissonance: His hair is black, but sometimes appears purple due to the art style.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Easily the most volatile out of Bucciarati's gang, more so than Fugo. If you hurt him or insult him, he will retaliate by brandishing one of his knives, or with a flurry of kicks, or by activating his Stand. Possibly all three.
• Helicopter Blender: More like Airplane Blender, but if for some reason Aerosmith can't shoot or bomb its target, ramming it and letting its propeller make mincemeat out of the enemy works well.
• Hot-Blooded: Yes. You most certainly qualify for this when you shoot up a car in a blind rage while kicking its door repeatedly screaming "I'LL KILL YOU!" at the man in it. Expect a lot of yelling when he starts fighting.
• Human Notepad: Due to his low attention span, Narancia has to write things on his wrists in order to remember them.
• Human Pincushion: Diavolo kills him by dropping him onto a wrought iron fence. It's not pretty.
• Idiot Hero: Narancia is understandably book dumb since he skipped out on school, but it's accompanied by common sense low enough that he answered 16 x 55 with 28, a number lower than his previous answer of 6 x 5 = 30. He also has a low attention span that requires him to write things down on his wrists with a marker just to remember instructions. He takes an embarrassingly long time to notice that he's shrinking thanks to Formaggio's Stand, somehow thinking his own possessions were somebody else's because they're bigger than his own; Formaggio himself is totally unimpressed by this, making him underestimate the young gangster. However, he's disarmingly strategic in combat, his impulsivity and hot temper allowing him to make strategies that other people might disregard.
• If We Get Through This…: Narancia, you just had to start talking about how you want to return to your hometown when this is all over. You even knew the Big Bad was lurking somewhere off-screen waiting to jump on everyone!
• I'll Kill You!: Ends up saying this a lot, due to his cranky personality and status as Butt-Monkey.
• Inelegant Blubbering: Narancia does not take Abbacchio's death well. It starts with him tearfully begging not to leave Abbacchio alone. In the anime Narancia eventually trips while trying to chase after Bucciarati, and ends up laying on the ground sobbing and wailing loudly while the rest of the group begins to leave.
• Infinite Supplies: Aerosmith seems to have an infinite amount of bullets at its disposal, and every one of them is as deadly as a "real" bullet.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's bratty and really quick to getting angry at people, but he has a good heart.
• Kiai: VOLAVOLAVOLAVOLAVOLA! VOLAAA!! Volare via!^TranslationItalian for Go flying, often accompanied by Aerosmith dropping a bomb on the opponent and making then do just that.
• Kiddie Kid: Of the teenagers in Bucciarati's team, Narancia acts the most like a kid, being bad at math, buying a lot of snacks, chasing frogs (in a manga-only panel) and liking Fist of the North Star. This is probably also why his Stand looks like a toy plane.
• Kill the Cutie: Sweet, innocent Narancia is savagely murdered during the final fight by Diavolo just to show that he really means business. Just to make it hurt worse, his last words before dying are about how he wants to go back to school, eat pizza and see Fugo again.
• Leitmotif: Aereo da Caccia, a fast-paced, heart-pounding instrumental with violin, electric guitar and rapid, rhythmic drumbeat.
• Lilliputian Warriors: The RC plane-sized Aerosmith also comes with an equally-small pilot referred to as Mr. Smith ^note  Or, more accurately "Smith-san" from the interview with Araki though it's not clear what role Smith has in operating Aerosmith).
• Living Toys: Aerosmith is a Stand that resembles a toy plane, with a functional radar and real bullets.
• Locked Out of the Loop: Played for Laughs. When Narancia finds Giorno in the process of healing Giorno after their clash with Ghiaccio, the angle of which they're viewed, Giorno's motions, and Mista's words all make it look like Giorno is... servicing Mista orally. As such, he pretends to not see them, and never brings incident up to them to clarify what was really happening.
• Logical Weakness: Aerosmith's radar tracks carbon dioxide, which means that a) if an enemy is holding their breath, the radar can't pick them up, and b) it's useless if Narancia's ever surrounded by fire, since the radar will pick up the emissions of every individual flame.
• Long-Range Fighter: Aerosmith has a range of tens of meters, which, combined with the CO2 scope, gives Narancia the most range out of Bucciarati's group. Unlike most long distance Stands, Aerosmith doesn't lack in destructive power up close either.
• Losing a Shoe in the Struggle: He drops a shoe when fighting Zucchero and Formaggio. The first time, it lets Giorno track where he is inside of the boat; the second time, it's one of his first hints that he's shrinking.
• Made of Iron: Narancia survives some brutal injuries during the Squalo & Tiziano fight, including cauterizing his wounded hand with a metal pipe, chopping his own tongue off to get rid of Talking Head, and Clash digging into his neck while spurting gallons of blood. The two executioners are left terrified by his grit.
• Messy Hair: His hair sticks out in all directions.
• Missing Mom: His mother passed away from an eye infection when he was ten.
• More Dakka: His Stand, Aerosmith, makes up for its lack of precision with more than enough gunfire to rip a car to shreds.
• Motifs: Youth. Being the shortest makes him look the youngest, he tells Giorno the newbie gangster is younger than him as if it was something that matters, his violent outbursts are temper tantrums, his Stand looks like a toy, and he looks up to Bucciarati as a father figure and has trouble making important decisions without him.
• Mugging the Monster: While the gang is eating outside, a random man grabs the small, frail-looking Narancia by the collar and threatens to beat him up for spilling a few drops of wine on his white suit. Narancia promptly knocks him out with a single punch and proceeds to whale on his unconscious body with a violent barrage of kicks, joined by Mista and Abbacchio.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: About as thin as a pencil and still capable of K.O.ing a grown man with one punch.
• The Napoleon: He's the smallest of the gang and the most cantankerous.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Risotto Nero had the upper hand on Doppio until Aerosmith intervened.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Aerosmith is among the rare Stands that doesn't have a humanoid or semi-humanoid appearance, instead being based on an inanimate object.
• Older Than They Look: As pointed out in their first meeting, Narancia is two years older than Giorno. He is also older than Trish and Fugo. However, due to childhood malnutrition and a lack of education, he looks and acts (and when voice acted, sounds) like the youngest member of the group.
• Parental Neglect: On his father's part, and Narancia's mother passing away didn't help.
• Personality Powers: The most childish and hot-tempered member of Bucciarati's team has a toy plane for a Stand with a high level of destructive power.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Aerosmith is one of the smallest Stands in the series that isn't divided into multiple bodies, but it can deal very real damage, especially with its bomb. Narancia isn't a slouch in this department either; he can kick a pretty bad dent in the side of a car if he's pissed off enough.
• Psycho Knife Nut: While he's not always in that mood, he may occasionally enter a state of crazed anger, which is often accompanied by him pulling out his switchblade to threaten whoever pissed him off.
• Pyrrhic Victory: He wins one over Formaggio. At the end of the fight, Formaggio is dead, but the groceries Narancia was ordered to buy were destroyed in the battle and the destruction makes it more likely that Formaggio's allies will track Bucciarati's team down. Fugo chides Narancia for his failure, but Giorno reassures Narancia that he did well.
• Rambunctious Italian: A young, hot-blooded Italian teenager with a quick temper and a deadly powerful Stand.
• Recurring Element: Continues the trend of a JoJo ally being the none-too-bright Butt-Monkey who gets attacked by the enemy Stand first in the vein of Polnareff and Okuyasu. Unfortunately, unlike them, Narancia doesn't come out of his part alive, showing how dark Part 5 is in comparison to the ones that preceded it. Ironically the same part also has Polnareff returning yet in a much more mature mindset.
• Rule of Symbolism: After his death, the shadow of a bird, mimicking Aerosmith's shape, is seen on clouds flying at high speed.
• Signature Headgear: An orange headband that covers most of his head.
• Signature Sound Effect: Multiple in the anime. The below-mentioned Stuka Scream, the chatter of Aerosmith's twin machine guns firing, and a low, metallic "-CLANG" when its bomb lands.
• Sinister Switchblade: He's an ill-tempered young gangster and is more than happy to whip out his switchblade if he gets pissed off. If that's not enough he might actually have two switchblades on him.
• Spanner in the Works: Him gunning down Risotto by accident gives Doppio the advantage and would eventually cause his death.
• Street Urchin: An older example than most, but spent most of his time in the streets acting like one.
• Stuff Blowing Up: His Stand, Aerosmith, has plenty of firepower, but poor aim. As a result, any fights against faster, more evasive enemies tend to transform the battleground into a war-zone, especially once he brings out the bombs.
• Stuka Scream: In the anime, Aerosmith makes this sound whenever it shows up on-screen or makes a sharp movement.
• Super-Persistent Predator: Aerosmith is a mobile killing machine that tracks enemies through their breathing, has a very persistent user, and its small size, high speed and firepower makes trying to fight it directly a challenge. Case in point, it didn't take long for Formaggio's fight against Narancia to turn into an escape attempt.
• Super-Senses: His CO2 detecting radar. One must bear in mind that it's not infallible; anything that produces carbon dioxide will show up on the radar, so Aerosmith can't differentiate between Narancia's target, civilian bystanders, animals, or fire if he doesn't have a clue about his target's relative position prior to anything producing CO2. Furthermore, larger sources of CO2 create larger blips on the radar, which can mask what Narancia is looking for.
• Tongue Trauma: Gets hit with this thrice thanks to Squalo's Stand Clash and later, inflicted to himself in order to get rid of Tiziano's Talking Head from his mouth.
• Too Desperate to Be Picky: When he was 15 and living on the streets, he was eating out of garbage cans to survive.
• Toy-Based Characterization: While not truly a toy, Aerosmith takes the form of a remote-controlled toy plane. The fact that it looks like a toy in the first place (as opposed to the humanoid forms most Stands take) is reflective of his childlike personality and status as The Baby of the Bunch, and its ability to shoot bullets and bombs suits his short temper and violent nature.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Margherita pizza with extra mushrooms, something he shares with Giorno as they both want to eat one after their mission is over.
• Tranquil Fury: In his very first scene, Narancia has an eerily calm voice as he threatens Fugo with a knife for beating him over a wrongly answered math problem.
  Narancia: (holding the point of his knife against Fugo's throat) What did you call me just now? A dense cagacazzo, right? You know, talking down to people isn't very nice. I'll cut you...I'll slice you to pieces, I swear it....
• Trauma Conga Line: Narancia's life hasn't been easy. His mom died from an eye infection when he was 10, his father became distant and neglectful, he was framed by his friends for a heinous crime and wrongly sent to jail for a year, and he ended up living on the streets afterward until Fugo found him. Joining Passione may not have been the best decision, but at least he found people there who cared about him. And then, after Bucciarati's gang become traitors to the Boss, he has to witness Abbacchio's death while being helpless to save him, and he himself gets killed shortly after, at the age of 17.
• True Companions: Narancia believes that friendship is "the most important thing in the world". Because of his father's neglect, he ditched school to hang out other children. After they framed and abandoned him, he became a stray until Bucciarati found him. After which, he has continued to display immense devotion towards him and the rest of the group.
• Undignified Death: A more serious example, unlike the JoJo allies who came before and after, Narancia doesn't get to go out like a badass. Instead, Diavolo silently assassinates him by skipping time and dropping him on a broken iron gate. Granted, this was because Narancia was the biggest threat at that moment due to his radar, but the poor kid was so determined to win the battle and return home a hero only to be snuffed out like nothing.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Aerosmith doesn't have much precision, but its gunfire is so deadly that its lack of aim doesn't matter too much.
• Unstoppable Rage: Normally, he has short snits of anger. However, when he was attacked by Formaggio, he was so furious that he shot up his own car trying to kill him, all the while kicking the doors and screaming bloody murder.
• Vibrant Orange: Narancia has orange as his theme color (and is even named after the Italian word for orange, arancia), and is the most excitable and energetic member of Team Bucciarati.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Mista. The two of them bicker often, such as when Mista pours his drink on Narancia's radio or yells at him for eating all the chocolate, but they are also good friends and care about each other, with Mista shooting the engine of a boat to blow it up and propel Narancia to safety when he's being eaten by Green Day's mold. When Narancia is killed by Diavolo, Mista weeps over his friend's body. This even carries over to their appearance in Eyes of Heaven, where they have a unique DHA that involves the Sex Pistols riding Aerosmith, as well as winning dialogue where Mista tells Narancia he needs to aim better and Narancia tells him to shut up.
• Vocal Dissonance: In English, his voice is a little deeper than his feminine-androgynous appearance might suggest.

Purple Haze voiced by: Hisao Egawa (All-Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven), Jun'ya Enoki (All-Star Battle R), Hiroaki Miura (Vento Aureo video game)

"You can stop feeling sorry for me. I'm not unhappy, if that helps."

^{Purple Haze}

"When I lose my temper, my darkest thoughts take over."

A member of Bucciarati's gang and one of the most mature and smart people in the group... at least when his violent temper is kept in check. With an IQ of 152, Fugo joined the Mafia after being caught trying to dine and dash from the restaurant Bucciarati frequents, following his expulsion from school and disownment by his family for reasons not made public. He stars in both novels based of Part 5: Miya Shotaro's Golden Heart, Golden Ring and Kouhei Kadono's Purple Haze Feedback.

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

During the events of Kouhei Kadono's Purple Haze Feedback novel, Purple Haze evolves into Purple Haze Distortion, the virus it creates evolving as well into one that can eat other viruses. Fugo can take advantage of this by intentionally breaking a capsule near himself to give him a temporary resistance to viruses from the other capsules, as the viruses in his body will mutually consume each other and cancel out.

---

• Adaptational Backstory Change: The only backstory Fugo is given in the manga is that he was accepted into a university at the age of 13, only to be kicked out after attacking a teacher with an encyclopedia, though the reason why is not made clear. Purple Haze Feedback and the anime both expand upon this in different ways: in the former, the assault was motivated by the professor criticizing him for letting his grandmother's death affect his grades; in the latter, the professor was sexually harassing him, and Fugo only attacked him in self-defense. These differences can affect how his character is seen: the anime portrays Fugo as being much more in the right to have attacked his teacher, making him into an unlucky victim of a corrupt justice system, while in Purple Haze Feedback it can come across as Disproportionate Retribution, putting additional emphasis on his violent Anti-Hero status and the Hair-Trigger Temper aspect of his personality (though the anime also adds a few scenes showing Fugo getting angry to compensate for this).
• Adaptational Hairstyle Change: Downplayed in terms of the placement of his bangs which varies throughout his appearances. In most media his bangs goes down the right side of his face, while in the anime they are parted evenly on the right, middle and left side of his face.
• Adaptational Self-Defense: The manga mentions that he was expelled from university for beating his professor with a textbook, though with no clear motive. The anime expands upon this by showing that the professor was a pedophile who had been molesting him, making Fugo's act of lashing out at him more sympathetic.
• Adaptational Dye-Job: The manga's official colour palette gives Fugo a red suit and white hair. In the anime and All-Star Battle, Fugo's suit is now green and his hair is now blonde. The Golden Wind video game gives him white hair and a yellow suit, its pale color reminiscent of swiss cheese; EoH makes his hair and suit more of a nacho cheese shade.
• Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: In the manga, he has white hair and a red suit, matching the dessert he's named after (panna cotta) which is traditionally red and white. Does not apply to the anime, which gives him blonde hair and a green suit.
• Ax-Crazy: As a result of his abusive upbringing, Fugo has suffered from fits of violent rage ever since he was young. It doesn't take much to set him off, as seen when he stabs Narancia in the face with a fork and then bashes his head against the table several times for solving a math problem incorrectly.
• Badass Cape: In the anime, Purple Haze gains a cape in its design, and it's a fittingly destructive Stand for someone as easily angered as Fugo.
• Bad Powers, Good People: Fugo is overall a decent person for someone who can and will break every bone in an enemy's body for even the smallest slight. Though he's reluctant to use it most of the time, his Stand's Make Them Rot abilities contrast his usual image greatly.
• The Berserker: His Stand, Purple Haze; it may reflect his Hair-Trigger Temper being fully manifested. It's one of the few Stands shown to have a personality outside of that which its User ascribes to it because it's that consistently pissed off.
• Beware the Nice Ones: He comes off as one of the more mature and polite members of the gang, but he has a short fuse and a very dangerous Stand.
• Breakout Character: Possibly as a way of remedying how underutilized he is in the actual series, Araki had him be the star of multiple spin-off Light Novels written by other mangakas, including Golden Heart, Golden Ring and Purple Haze Feedback. Fugo's role as the star in Purple Haze Feedback even went on to inspire his moveset as a DLC character in All-Star Battle.
• Breaking Old Trends: Close Range stands are usually directly under the control of their user and pose no danger to them or their allies, Purple Haze is an exception, appearing to both be semi-sentient and very dangerous to user and allies alike.
• Broken Pedestal: In the anime, when Fugo uses a textbook to beat the professor who molested him, he yells, "I looked up to you, I trusted you!"
• The Chessmaster: In Golden Heart, Golden Ring, he manipulates Coniglio into frequently using her Stand by regularly unleashing Purple Haze around her while making sure to target a maximum of bystanders; as expected, and thanks to Fugo encouraging her, Coni would use her Stand The Cure to absorb the bystanders' suffering to cure them from Purple Haze's virus. At the same time, he doesn't tell his Passione accomplice Sogliola Lopez that Giorno had previously immunized himself against Purple Haze's virus. As a result, when Lopez hopes to use the now berserk Cure and has it unleash Purple Haze's suffering all over Venezia in an attempt to kill Team Bucciarati, he fails and Fugo leaves him to die against Bucciarati, having proven his loyalty both to Passione (by not actively rebelling against them and seeing his and Lopez's plan to its end even if it failed) and his former team (protecting them from Lopez).
• Conflicting Loyalty:
  • The in-story reason why Fugo stays behind when Bucciarati's gang defects. He is torn between his loyalty to Passione to keep himself safe and to Bucciarati to keep to what's morally right.
  • Averted in Golden Heart, Golden Ring: Fugo successfully manages to find a way to remain loyal to both the Boss and his former team even after leaving the latter.
  • His intros with Giorno, Bucciarati, and Mista in All Star Battle are actually based off a dropped idea to make Fugo an absolute traitor to Bucciarati's group, but then rejoining them before the fight with Diavolo.
• Covert Pervert: Starts staring at Trish's prominent cleavage when Mista points it out, only for him to accidentally fall on her chest face first when Giorno made a sharp turn.
• Darkness Equals Death: In the novel Golden Heart, Golden Ring, it's revealed that the virus has a MUCH bigger range in darkness - enough to potentially kill everyone in an entire hotel floor.
• A Day in the Limelight: The light novel called Purple Haze Feedback was written by Kouhei Kadono (of Boogiepop fame) for the series' 25th anniversary. The novel greatly expands on Fugo's life and memories about his time in Passione after his abrupt disappearance from the original story.
• Deadly Gas: Purple Haze emits a lethal virus in a gaseous form that would turn anyone into a pile of rotted flesh in seconds.
• Disproportionate Retribution: How does he respond to Narancia getting a math question wrong? Stab him in the face with a fork, of course. Going by how absolutely nobody in the team or the cafe reacts to it, this is apparently a common reaction of his.
• The Dreaded: The moment Abbacchio sees Purple Haze, he gets cold sweats and immediately tries to get himself and Giorno as far as needed from it. He also notes that Fugo himself won't bring him out unless he really has his back against the wall. It's safe to say that the rest of the group would react the same way. This is taken to whole new levels in Golden Heart, Golden Ring where all of Passione aside from the Boss and Team Bucciarati fears Fugo for his anger issues. Even his accomplice Sogliola Lopez behaved carefully around him as a result.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Purple Smoke" in official English translations, a subtle nod to Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple.
• Dumb Muscle: In spite of Fugo's own intelligence, Purple Haze is an utter brute of a Stand that, unlike those wielded by his companions, has no constructive applications outside of destructive combat and is difficult to control.
• Edible Theme Naming: Panna cotta (cooked cream) is an Italian dessert.
• Enraged by Idiocy: Doubly serves as his Establishing Character Moment when he stabs Narancia in the cheek with a fork for getting a fourth-grade level multiplication problem wrong.
• Establishing Character Moment: Fugo is shown calmly explaining to Narancia how to do a multiplication problem while encouraging him and telling him that he is smarter then he thinks... before stabbing him in the face with a fork for getting a much simpler question wrong.
• Evil Former Friend: In Golden Heart, Golden Ring, after leaving Team Bucciarati, Fugo assists Sogliola Lopez in his attempt to kill his former team and hundreds of bystanders in Venezia. Subverted, Fugo was still loyal to his team and manipulated Lopez into getting himself killed by Team Bucciarati.
• Foreign Cuss Word: In the anime, he calls Narancia a "dense cagacazzo"^note  The Italian equivalent to "shit." while yelling at him for getting a math question hilariously wrong.
• Godzilla Threshold: Purple Haze is treated as this in the main narrative. It's incredibly strong but difficult to control and the virus it generates can indiscriminately kill any living thing; making him as much a danger to Fugo's allies and civilians as to his enemies. Fugo himself isn't even safe from the virus. Abbacchio notes that that's why Fugo doesn't bring him out very often.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: He has a very short fuse, despite outwardly seeming very calm and mature. This aspect of him ended in him assaulting his professor with a textbook, and is reflected in his Stand going berserk and uncontrollable sometimes. Purple Haze Feedback interprets the incident with the professor as a consequence of said professor making fun of Fugo for moping about the death of his grandmother (who had died a few days ago and whom Fugo was very close with). However, the anime adaptation creates an alternate version of the story where the teacher in question harbored pedophilic desires and had been repeatedly molesting Fugo, until he finally had enough and retaliated.
• Heel–Face Revolving Door: Discussed in All-Star Battle by the intros: when any one of his allies are his opponent, Fugo will be played off for a traitor. When fighting Diavolo, he'll become a traitor again.
• "Instant Death" Radius: Purple Haze in a nutshell. If a capsule from Purple Haze's fists cracks open anywhere near you, its virus will spread into you and kill you in 30 seconds. There's absolutely no known cures outside of other Stands interfering (and the only Stand in the manga that is known to be able to do this is Gold Experience), so anyone affected by it will most certainly die.
• It Can Think: Downplayed. Purple Haze possesses the awareness to realize that it's drooling on itself and attempts to wipe it off. The fact that it doesn't realize that it's making itself even dirtier by using its wrist as a rag and licks itself to try to get the stains off shows just thinking doesn't make it smart.
• Kiai: Emitted when Purple Haze is swinging its fists wildly, and later when it deals the killing blow to Illuso via Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs.
  "UBASHAAAA! ABABABABABABABABABABABABAAAA!"
• Lack of Empathy: In Purple Haze Feedback interpretation, besides his Survivor Guilt for not getting on the boat with the rest of Bucciarati's group, he also is unable to understand why his teammates (especially Narancia) were willing to betray the Boss and risk their lives for the sake of Trish. He gets better after caring for his new partner, Sheila E, which gives him the strength to evolve his Purple Haze.
• Lonely Rich Kid: Leaving his temper-issues aside, he was this before joining Passione.
• Magic Antidote:
  • Played Straight with Gold Experience giving Giorno the cure to Purple Haze's virus. This is the part of the story before he learns he can heal with Gold Experience, but his recovery from the virus is instant.
  • Averted with the novel-only Purple Haze Distortion. Fugo's left in some rather dire straits when he's forced to cancel out his viruses' effects during the final arc of Purple Haze Feedback although the alternative (his whole body gets ruined instead of just some of it) is far worse.
• Make Them Rot: Purple Haze releases a flesh-eating virus which can decompose a grown man in 30 seconds.
• The Mole: Was originally intended to be this, until Araki changed his mind and Fugo just quit the group out of fear of the Boss' retribution.
• Mood-Swinger: Purple Haze (as well as Fugo himself) flips between lighthearted cheerfulness and lashing out furiously. Purple Haze in particular at times is almost comically happy, and at others is one of the most rageful Stands in the entire JoJo fiction; at one point Purple Haze (which naturally drools) wipes itself clean of its own saliva and grins cheerfully, but becomes distraught when it notices its wrists have become dirty again. It then licks them clean, thus spilling more drool onto itself. This repeats until Purple Haze snaps and unleashes a barrage of toxin-infused punches on everything in sight, potentially endangering Giorno and Abbacchio's lives as Fugo can barely control the semi-sentient Purple Haze at the best of times.
• Mouth Stitched Shut: Purple Haze has stitches holding its mouth closed, but it can still scream loudly, to unnerving effect.
• My Greatest Failure: If we allow All-Star Battle a bit of canonicity, specifically its post-fight comments, Fugo never forgave himself for not getting on the boat with the rest of Bucciarati's group, which is also talked about in great lengths in Purple Haze Feedback.
• My Significance Sense Is Tingling: After Narancia's death, the anime adds an extra scene of Fugo walking down an alleyway before stopping and looking up, as if he can feel it.
• Never Got to Say Goodbye: Didn't get to exchange any final words with Narancia before the boy jumped into the canals to swim after Bucciarati's team, joining them in betraying Passione to keep Trish safe from her father. He would never again see Narancia alive after this. Feedback, if taken into consideration, shows he holds onto a lot of guilt over this and combines it with Parting-Words Regret, since the last Narancia and the others who didn't make it back saw of him was his walking away from them, and assumes they died resenting him.
• Neat Freak: Purple Haze will often try to clean itself of its drool, even scrubbing itself to the point of abrasion, ignoring the fact that it constantly drools.
• No Shirt, Long Jacket: Fugo does not wear a shirt under his jacket, only a necktie.
• Opt Out: The in-verse explanation to why he left after Bucciarati draws a Line in the Sand, which is explored more in his novel. Out-verse... see Put on a Bus for more information.
• Out of Focus: Was hit with this the hardest out of Bucciarati's team, even more so than Abbacchio who actually got to partake in more than one fight. This is because he hesitates to use Purple Haze in combat, and it doesn't help matters that he is the only one who doesn't defect from Passione.
• Personality Powers: Purple Haze's flesh-eating virus forms a perfect analogy for Fugo's pure rage. Unlike most other similar Stands whose powers just magically manifest in things they touch, the virus is restrained and well-hidden, kept bottled up within small capsules, like how Fugo's temper never shows normally. If those capsules are shattered due to conditions of extreme duress, the virus is released and attacks indiscriminately even to its user or his allies, showing how fierce Fugo can be when angered.
• Poisonous Person: His Stand's power to an extreme extent.
• Power Incontinence: Fugo is among the rare Stand users who does not have complete control over his Stand.
• Properly Paranoid: Refuses to join Bucciarati's group once they defect out of doubt they'd be able to defeat the Boss, considering only three of them survive and two of them only recently joined them, it was relatively sound reasoning.
• Put on a Bus: Araki took him out of the group because he felt that the story was getting a little too bleak for Fugo to reveal himself as the Boss' mole. Given what Purple Haze's virus does, this is arguably a good thing he didn't fight the group.
• Rape as Backstory: In the anime, it is revealed that he was molested by his college professor, which led to him assaulting said professor with a textbook, getting expelled from the university and disowned by his parents.
• Required Secondary Powers: Subverted. According to an interview with Araki, Fugo is not immune to his Stand's virus, forcing him to choose between having it close by to defend him or placing it further away to attack effectively, avoiding its gas in either case.
• The Resenter: Towards Trish, and arguably to all his former team mates.
• Riches to Rags: Born into a wealthy family, but disowned by his parents after being expelled from university.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Fugo is the only one not to rebel for fear of the Boss, abandoning his team to keep himself safe.
• Sickening "Crunch!": A variation; in the anime, most other Stands make something similar-sounding to gunshot noises when they unleash Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs on someone. The sound of Purple Haze's fists hitting something sounds disturbingly fleshy, like someone was ripping apart a rotting corpse with a pair of scissors.
• The Smart Guy: He tested high in school but failed to excel due to his short temper.
• Spikes of Villainy: Purple Haze's base form is loaded with them and then loses them once Fugo's newfound empathy and passion in Purple Haze Feedback causes it to evolve into Purple Haze Distortion.
• The Spock: Deconstructed. While he says Buccarati did what was right, Fugo still asserted that he should have kept his emotions in check and not betrayed the Boss based on morality and believed that no one in the group would defect and put their own lives at risk for a girl they've barely known. Sticking to being The Spock is what made Fugo leave the team.
• Story-Breaker Power:
  • His Stand has three bulbs on the knuckles of each hand that contain a deadly virus, which quickly eats up all organic matter in the area where a bulb is broken, until it gets hit by sunlight. Fugo's powers are so broken that it led to the common misconception that Fugo was Put on a Bus because Araki made him too strong.
  • In Purple Haze Feedback, it gains another extraordinarily powerful ability when it evolves into Purple Haze Distortion—now those deadly viruses can eat other viruses, including itself.
• Stripperiffic: His entire outfit has large inexplicable holes everywhere. Araki even mentioned that he wears a thong just so it looks like he's not wearing any undergarments. He wore similar attire when he was younger, but also had modest clothes underneath.
• Suggestive Collision: At the start of The Grateful Dead arc, his face accidentally falls into Trish's chest when Giorno made a sharp turn.
• Symbol Motif Clothing: He has strawberries on his tie and shoes and his suit has holes in it resembling strawberry seeds^note it is more obvious in the manga because his suit is red there, which is rather appropriate as pannacotta (the dessert) is often made with strawberry. In the manga, he also wears strawberry-shaped earrings.
• Team Dad: Often acts as a surrogate parent or older brother to Narancia and Mista ^note  Despite being younger than both , joining in their stranger antics and trying to tutor Narancia because of his poor background. He is also officially the second-in-command of Bucciarati's group.
• Throw the Book at Them: Got expelled from university for beating the crap out of his professor (who molested him) with a textbook.
• Truth in Television: Purple Haze's virus doesn't seem too dissimilar from necrotizing fasciitis, an actual real life, flesh-eating disease. Don't look this one up if you're squeamish.
• Wise Beyond Their Years: Is 16 years old but entered college at the age of 13, and is even Narancia's—who is older than him—personal tutor.

Trish Una

Trish Una (Stand: Spice Girl)

Voiced by: Sayaka Senbongi (TV anime, JP and All-Star Battle R), Lizzie Freeman (TV anime, EN), Nao Tōyama (Eyes of Heaven), Rio Natsuki (Vento Aureo video game)

"No one's throwing their lives away any time soon."

^{Spice Girl}

"There's... only one thing I wanna know. And it's whose blood is coursing through my veins! I'll be damned if someone kills me before I get an answer!"

The Boss's daughter of 15, Trish has never once met her father and has only heard of him through her mother's words. After finally finding his connection to Passione, she is taken in and protected by Bucciarati's faction. Starts out spoiled and honestly terrified of seeing her father, but later becomes strong enough to fight.

Her Stand, Spice Girl (named after the Spice Girls), can soften any inanimate object into a rubber-like state, which also makes said objects completely indestructible aside from the Stand itself.

---

• Action Girl: In addition to a surprisingly useful ability, Spice Girl is also very physically powerful and fast.
• Adaptational Modesty: It's a small detail, but in the manga, Fugo and Mista briefly glimpse part of her nipple when looking at her chest. This scene was left out of the anime adaptation.
• Animal Motifs: The cat motif returns again, this time for Trish. Though not as obvious as Killer Queen, Araki designed Spice Girl off of a cat. Spice Girl activates when Trish is pushed into a corner much like how a cat can become particularly vicious under similar circumstances. Trish also acts very haughty like one, but this gets dropped off once her reasoning is revealed.
• Anime Hair: She sports spiky hair that curls upwards, later chapters show the overall hairstyle as a spiral like style.
• Batman Gambit: When she and Diavolo are forced to share a body by Chariot Requiem, Trish actually uses her Stand to save Diavolo's life, secretly, by softening some bullets that were fired at him. Diavolo didn't notice this and thought his Stand was powerful enough to just punch the bullets out of the way, so Trish was able to catch him by surprise later by suddenly restoring the bullets' kinetic energy.
• Calling the Old Man Out: During the final battle. She prevents The Boss from obtaining The Stand Arrow by using her own Stand power to send it away from his reach.
• Damsel in Distress: At first. She later holds her own in assisting her group, though she's still by far the least experienced among them.
• Dub Name Change: Her Stand is renamed to "Spicy Lady" in official English translations.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Her initial outfit consisted of a t-shirt with a corset on top in addition to a thigh-length skirt patterned with sunflowers; her hair is always swirly and pink, but her locks of hair ended with rectangular tips at first. The anime keeps her appearance consistent with her signature look pictured above, but in the manga, her math symbols don't appear until after the Man in the Mirror fight, and her hair turns to her more natural style starting at about the end of the battle with Grateful Dead.
• Edible Theme Naming: Her first initial and last name spell out "T. Una."
• Family Eye Resemblance: Like her father Diavolo, her eyes are bright green.
• Fire-Forged Friends: At first, Bucciarati's team are only her bodyguards while taking her to the boss, but they grow to care for her more as a person (and vice versa), to the point of betraying Diavolo to save her life instead of letting him get away with killing her. In particular, she seems to be the closest to Narancia. In her first appearance, she threatens him with a knife while disguised as a janitor, but later saves him from Rapid Aging with the last ice cube during the Grateful Dead fight. Narancia's realization that he and Trish were both betrayed by the ones they trusted is what drives him to follow the rest of Bucciarati's gang in betraying Diavolo. Later, one of their last interactions is Trish throwing herself into Narancia's lap (in actuality it's Giorno due to the body swap) while crying after being swapped into Mista's body. When he's killed by Diavolo, she weeps for him alongside the remaining members of the team.
• Freak Out: Poor Trish has a massive one while Bucciarati is transporting her to the Boss over the idea of finally meeting her father. Considering the fact that he tries to murder her not long after this, she was right to be worried.
• Grew a Spine: Spice Girl's arrival is explicitly linked to Trish's growing confidence and courage. Initially manifesting through hand-shaped scorch marks, Spice Girl finally appears in full during the Notorious B.I.G arc, informing Trish of her unconscious decision to help Giorno and encouraging her to do the right thing. Once Trish does make that choice, however, she becomes a badass Action Girl who helps fight The Boss and keep him from obtaining the Stand Arrow.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: Spice Girl's power is to make things soft, which only sounds useless. For starters, softened objects are infinitely elastic, and thus, infinitely durable, as any attempts to pierce or shatter that object will just result in it contorting temporarily before snapping back into shape. Inversely, Spice Girl can soften an enemy's weapons or projectiles to render them nigh useless to deal damage.
• Heroic Bastard: Trish is the illegitimate daughter of the Boss, who sired her with Donatella Una during an affair without marrying her, and she's one of the good guys.
• Hidden Depths: Her first encounter with Team Bucciarati was the haughty and spoiled demeanour of a Mafia Princess. But during the Grateful Dead arc, Trish willingly keeps the aging Narancia alive with the remaining ice cube left, even when Bucciarati had advised her to save it for herself. It not only shows that her spoiled attitude at the start was just an act, but also a sign of her hidden courage.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: Trish tries to hide her fear of being involved with the Mob by acting haughty.
• I'll Kill You!: Played for laughs when she and Mista switch bodies and she threatens to kill him if he sticks his hand in her underwear.
• Inelegant Blubbering: Part of Trish's apoplectic seizure at the realization that she's been body-swapped with Mista is to whimper and sob into Narancia's (Giorno's) lap.
• It Can Think: Spice Girl has been supporting and guiding Trish all her life, and even named herself. Once Trish matures and develops her own resolve, however, she becomes less quiet and passive.
• Kiai: WANNABEEEEEEEEEE!
• Leg Focus: Her primary fanservice attribute is her legs. This is especially apparent in her fight against Notorious B.I.G, where she has one of her boots removed and has many panning shots focusing on her legs.
• Like Father, Unlike Son: Trish is a haughty Spoiled Brat who turns out to be acting that way to hide how deeply terrified she is of her situation. Her father, The Boss/Diavolo, has a similarly fearful, secretive personality, except he takes that fear to paranoiac extremes. Whereas The Boss/Diavolo is so paranoid that he became a Bad Boss to his underlings and is willing to kill even family members who don't know about him, Trish gradually starts to trust Team Bucciarati and later finds the strength to stand up for herself, even if it meant she'll be killed in the process.
• Limited Wardrobe: Downplayed. She's the only one in Bucciarati's gang that has more than one personal outfit. After being introduced in her janitor disguise, she changes to a t-shirt under a loose corset and a medium-length skirt. She later wears her trademark strapped bra and long skirt ensemble not long after and stays with it for the rest of the story.
• Living MacGuffin: Much of the first half involves Team Bucciarati transporting her to the boss, while protecting her from Passione members who want to use her for their own purposes. It isn't until the second half that she starts making her own decisions.
• Losing a Shoe in the Struggle: Trish's boot gets softened and dropped by Spice Girl so that she stops being targeted by Notorious B.I.G.
• Mafia Princess: Subverted. Although she is the daughter of The Boss and acts like a spoiled teen used to having servants, she only learned it recently and freaks out at the idea of meeting her father as well as being the target of her father's enemies. Moreover, although the Boss seems to try to care for her, he just wants to kill her because she is a potential weakness.
• Morton's Fork: During the Notorious B.I.G. fight, Trish discovers that Notorious B.I.G. had not been killed by Spice Girl as she hoped; rather, it only grew bigger to the point of becoming part of the airplane itself due to targeting its engines. And it's very close to her. This put her in a terrifying predicament — if Trish were to run for it, she'll die. If she walks slowly as Bruno instructed her, Notorious B.I.G. will soon catch up to her and she'll die anyway. Realizing this, Trish chooses to run and use Spice Girl's powers to turn the door into rubber so Notorious B.I.G. can't bust its way into the cabin.
• Ms. Fanservice:
  • Her default one has her wear a single strapped bra, as well as a long skirt that has a split starting at the upper thigh area, giving quite a view of her torso and legs. Not to mention that all of her outfits also happen to show off her legs. At some point, Mista and Fugo freak out at the sight of her nipple being visible from a high enough angle.
  • The anime includes a brief scene of her dressing up and removing her disguise. However, some of these traits are also slightly downplayed in the anime adaptation. While she is still attractive and her outfit showcases her body quite a bit, fanservice scenes involving Trish are portrayed in a less sexualized way. Most notable example of this is that her cleavage doesn't show her nipple, which is more due to censorship reasons.
  • To an extent, Spice Girl as well. Most stands (including those owned by female characters) are either genderless or male, and even the few that are definably female (such as High Priestess or Cinderella) tend to be fairly inhuman, but Spice Girl basically looks like an attractive, lightly-dressed woman (aside from its lack of a nose or hair).
• Nice Girl: Despite being The Boss' daughter and kind of spoiled, Trish is generally nurturing, compassionate and affable, seen as she's perfectly willing to tend to a wounded Narancia while in Coco Jumbo's room.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: She is based on her namesake, the American model Trish Goff.
• Not So Stoic: For most of Golden Wind, Trish is quiet, introverted, and usually dignified. The prospect of almost meeting the powerful mafia boss that is her father causes her a Freak Out, and she loses her mind (in a more comical way, that is) when Chariot Requiem puts her in Mista's smelly, ugly body, and Mista in hers, prompting him almost immediately to start touching her body in weird spots.
• Parental Title Characterization: She refers to her father as "The Boss", to emphasize that she doesn't see him as her father, due to him being absent for much of her childhood and for trying to kill her.
• Personality Powers: Spice Girl's power to make things soft and stretchy relates to Trish's flexibility in adapting to a new situation and learning to survive, especially since the Stand first appeared when the gang was being targeted by the lethal and unkillable Notorious B.I.G.
• Picky Eater: By her own admission, she'd rather die than drink water that isn't fancy French mineral water.
• Pink Means Feminine: Has pink hair, wears a skirt with a pink and black pattern, and her Stand, Spice Girl, is mostly pink.
• Properly Paranoid: Trish has a Heroic BSoD when she's about to meet her father for the first time. She was right to be afraid, because he wanted her brought to him so he could kill her himself to cover up his identity.
• The Quiet One: For at the least the first half of the story, Trish mostly keeps to herself unless directly spoken to. Fugo cites this when the group betrays the Boss, noting that they've barely spoken to her throughout their mission and don't even know what kind of music she likes.
• Red Is Heroic: Spice Girl is pink and red in color.
• Rubber Woman: Spice Girl's ability lets her turn any object into soft durability like rubber. While it seems useless as Trish initially thought, she quickly discovers that Spice Girl's rubber powers perfectly counter Notorious B.I.G. Notorious B.I.G cannot be killed, and attacks and destroys anything faster than it, but it cannot destroy rubber objects produced by Spice Girl. If it tries to go through a rubber object, it'll just bounce back no matter how hard or vicious its attacks are. Fittingly, Spice Girl ends up defeating Notorious B.I.G by sending its last remaining piece falling into the ocean when Bucciarati tries attempting a Heroic Sacrifice to save Abbacchio.
• Samus Is a Girl: Bucciarati's gang first meet Trish when she's in disguise as a janitor. When she reveals herself, the boys are quite surprised to see she's a girl, especially since she'd just beaten up Narancia.
• Shared Family Quirks:
  • The anime reveals that when Trish's mother Donatella met The Boss, she asked for sparkling water from France for their date. This was a call-back, or rather a call-forward, to Trish's first encounter with Bucciarati's gang, where she asked for the same thing.
  • Both Trish and her father share a predisposition to fear; Trish spends the first half of Golden Wind terrified for her life, whereas her father is an extreme paranoiac who will kill even his own daughter to prevent the slightest chance of her knowing about him. However, Trish learns to overcome her fear and stand up for herself, whereas her father does not and is trapped in a neverending loop where he dies horrible deaths, unable to escape.
• She Knows Too Much: The reason why Diavolo wants to kill her. Despite the fact that Trish knows nothing about who he really is. Diavolo is just that paranoid, believing her Stand retroactively gives a clue to the power of his own Stand just because they're related.
• Ship Tease: With Mista and Bucciarati. And arguably a bit with Fugo too until his departure.
• Shout-Out: Spice Girl has a very unique Kiai; "WAAANNAAAABEEEEE" is the name of the real-world Spice Girls debut single.
• Sigil Spam: Various mathematical symbols dot her long skirt, her choker, and on Spice Girl as well.
• Significant Birth Date: Her birthday is June 8, the same as her namesake, Trish Goff.
• Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: She has pink hair, is depicted with turquoise eyes in the anime, and is the subject of the conflict between La Squadra, Passione and eventually Bucciarati's gang.
• The Smurfette Principle: Aside from her mother Donatella Una, she's the only named female character in Part 5, discounting the novels.
• Spoiled Sweet: She comes across as a Spoiled Brat in her first appearance, but her kind and caring side is revealed during the Grateful Dead fight. When the gang is suffering from Rapid Aging brought on by Prosciutto's Stand and there's only one ice cube left (the only thing that can slow it down), Trish uses it to keep Narancia alive, despite Bucciarati advising her to save it for herself. Later, after the Green Day fight, she expresses concern for his well-being after his arm got eaten by the mold and is disturbed that Bucciarati didn't seem worried about him at the time.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Setting aside the hair and muscles, Trish is a dead ringer for her father. The anime goes a step further by making them share eye colors. In the anime adaptation, Spice Girl looks very similar to King Crimson, including bright green irises, body color palette, and the criss-cross pattern on its body.
• Symbol Motif Clothing: Trish's choker and skirt are adorned with mathematical symbols like plus, minus, multiply, and divide. The anime colors the plus and multiply symbols golden yellow, while the minus and divine symbols are black. This symbols how both sides see her — The pink and black-haired Boss wants to kill her out of extreme paranoia despite Trish knowing absolutely nothing about him, while the golden-haired Giorno Giovanna and his friends devoted themselves to protecting Trish after learning of The Boss's true desire to kill her. The Notorious B.I.G fight is when she Took a Level in Badass and becomes a genuine addition to Team Bucciarati; Spice Girl points out that hanging around Giorno made her stronger in both ability and mind.
• Took a Level in Badass: The Notorious B.I.G. fight serves as the moment that Trish goes from the scared Living Macguffin who constantly needs the group's protection to a badass Stand User who can not only fight alongside her new friends but protect them as well.
• Trauma Conga Line: Trish loses her mother, has her life repeatedly endangered by her father's enemies, is nearly murdered by her father, and then sees three of her friends die while trying to protect her.
• Troubled Fetal Position: Curling up, knees to her chest and sitting on the ground is very common for her. She gets into this pose when Bucciarati is bringing her to the Boss and when she reveals what she knew of her father, and Spice Girl makes her first appearance like this as well. It's even her Jojos Bizarre Adventure Eyes Of Heaven animation for eating in Morioh, in reference to the second instance since she did it while the group was eating.
• Unpleasant Parent Reveal: Trish was born out of wedlock and raised solely by Donatella, so much of what she knew of The Boss came from her mother. Much of her early anxieties and fears about The Boss comes from wondering what he'll be like as a person and if they'll get along as father and daughter. Unfortunately, Trish's questions get answered in the worst way when she discovers her father had her brought to him so he could kill her to protect his identity.
• What the Hell, Hero?: She's rather disturbed at Bucciarati coldly ordering Narancia to throw Coco Jumbo to safety while the mold was attacking Narancia, and wonders if Bucciarati doesn't care about his subordinate and friend.
• When She Smiles: After Diavolo is defeated, Trish and Mista share a moment where they jokingly recall their body-swap experience, and Trish is shown laughing for the first time. Considering that Trish was aloof and quiet for most of the part and all the awful things she went through, it's endearing to finally see her catching a break and expressing joy.
• White Sheep: She's the only Team Bucciarati member who hasn't killed anyone (aside from her helping to cause her father's downfall but even then she isn't the one landing the final blow), isn't a gangster nor a Passione member.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Ironically she ends up giving this speech to herself, or rather her Stand Spice Girl relates her subconscious feelings to her. During the Notorious B.I.G. fight Trish keeps going back and forth on saving Giorno's hand and unconsciously does things to attract the Stand's attention away from the hand. As Spice Girl points out these decisions aren't coincidences; Trish had already resolved to fight, she just hadn't fully realized it yet.

Coco Jumbo

Coco Jumbo (Stand: Mr. President)

^{Mr. President}

A regular tortoise that was granted a Stand, presumably by the Arrow, that can be distinguished by a large ornamentation built into its shell.

Its Stand, Mr. President, manifests as an inter-dimensional and well-furnished hotel room that Coco Jumbo carries around within it. His Stand is named after a German band, and he himself is named after a hit by said band.

---

• All There in the Manual: Coco Jumbo and its stand aren't named anywhere in part five; their name appears only in spin-offs and supplemental material.
• Ascended Extra: While it did serve a pretty pivotal role regarding Polnareff residing in its body at the end, for the most part it was a side character. In Eyes of Heaven, it gets a lot more screen time as Mr. President is used to contain the ever-expanding party of characters in the game's Story Mode.
• Bigger on the Inside: Mr. President creates a well-furnished hotel room inside of Coco Jumbo's shell, which anyone can access. This is where Polnareff lives after having his soul attached to Coco Jumbo following his physical body's death.
• Boring, but Practical: Its form as a turtle is said to be this when it comes to being a mobile safehouse, since it's small and quiet, thus making it easy to hide.
• Dub Name Change: Not his Stand, but Jumbo himself is renamed to "Coco Large" in official English translations.
• Highly-Visible Ninja: To actually use him as a mobile safe house, you need to place a large, bejeweled golden key on his shell. Adding to that, while his small size allows him to hide in small gaps and concealed corners, Coco Jumbo looks severely out of place in most of the locales the gang visits.
• No Name Given: His character file initially mentioned that "no one bothered giving him a name". He only got one after the end of part 5.
• Team Pet: He's a turtle, and may actually be Diavolo's pet turtle.
• Uplifted Animal: Averted. Coco Jumbo seems to be the least intelligent Stand-using animal in JoJo. It might be on the same level as Bug-Eaten at best, but doesn't demonstrate any signs of enhanced intelligence. Played straight once Requiem swaps Polnareff's soul into him. Given Polnareff's body died he remains stuck inside and thus becomes Coco Jumbo while still retaining his human intelligence.
