Passione

In General

Passione is one of the most powerful gangs in Italy, operating from Naples and controlling the drug trade. Despite having less than one thousand members, they have a high number of Stand Users.

---

• Agent Peacock: Flamboyant outfits are the norm in Passione rather than the exception, but someone being a member of Passione means they probably also have a powerful Stand, so you'd be wise to take them seriously.
• Bad Powers, Bad People: Almost all the dangerous Stands belong to the most vicious members of Passione. The gang has members who can make needles explode out of your throat, infect you with a flesh-eating mold, deflate you like a punctured balloon, impregnate you with a creature that eventually devours you alive, turns you into a withered old corpse within seconds, and other fun stuff.
• Drugs Are Bad: Giorno infiltrates the gang to stop them from selling drugs to children.
• Edible Theme Naming: Almost every member of the gang is named after food, which might elicit some snickers from Italian-speaking viewers.
• Equal-Opportunity Evil: Age and sexuality aren't obstacles to joining the gang, as long as you pass the Stand arrow test; multiple teenage boys and at least four openly gay men are on Passione's payroll. That said, the gang doesn't seem to have any female members (although there's no mention of women specifically being barred from membership), unless you count the non-canon Purple Haze Feedback.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: They might be hardened gangsters and criminals, but even the members of Passione have it in them to care about someone. La Squadra are driven by a desire to avenge their murdered comrades who were savagely executed by Cioccolata under the Boss' orders, and Tiziano and Squalo are in a loving relationship. Even Diavolo himself seemed to care about Donatella to some extent, although killing their daughter wasn't off the table for him.
• Foreign Cuss Word: The men of Passione frequently drop Italian curses into their speech, including stronzo ("asshole"), cagacazzo ("shithead"), and pezzo di merda ("piece of shit").
• Odd Name Out: A few members break the trend of Edible Theme Naming, namely Luca, Pericolo, Illuso, and Tiziano.
• Real Men Wear Pink: The men of Passione wear some of the most flamboyant outfits and styles in the entire series, including the various Cleavage Windows, Giorno's hot pink suit, Illuso's pigtails, Narancia's skirt, Bucciarati's hairclips and whatever the hell Melone is wearing. That doesn't mean they aren't capable of brutally murdering you.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: It seems to be the fashion among Passione members to wear an outfit that bares part of the chest. Most of La Squadra Esecuzioni and half of Bucciarati's team follow the trend.
• Would Hurt a Child: No enemy from inside Passione has any reservations about trying to kill Bucciarati's squad, even though three of them are teenagers. Less directly, the gang is also willing to sell drugs to children, which Giorno is trying to stop.

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

Capos

Polpo

Polpo (Stand: Black Sabbath)

Voiced by: Hideo Ishikawa (TV anime, JP), Brook Chalmers (TV anime, EN), Yuji Kishi (Vento Aureo video game)

^{Black Sabbath}

"Conflict's a sport for barbarians. It's a pastime for fools. But, if I, or any of my men, are disrespected, all bets are off, pivello. In the eyes of God, murder is acceptable when one has been disrespected. I'd commit that to memory."

A higher up, or capo, in Passione. He was entrusted with an Arrow and used it and his Stand to test members coming into the gang by ordering an impossible task of keeping a lighter lit for a day. If the lighter goes out, his Stand appears and stabs them with the Arrow: if they survive and become a Stand user, they'll be allowed into the gang.

His Stand, Black Sabbath (named after Black Sabbath), materializes when Polpo's order is disobeyed. It can move within shadows and control them to an extent.

---

• Accidental Murder: Since Black Sabbath is an automated Stand, Polpo doesn't have direct control over its actions, so the janitor's death wasn't of his volition. Unlike most examples, he's not remorseful in the slightest.
• Alliterative Name: The English dub changes his Stand's name from Black Sabbath to Shadow Sabbath.
• Ambiguously Human: While it's never addressed In-Universe, Polpo's bizarre body, even for this series, throws his humanity into some doubt. He is almost as tall as his cell (about twenty feet high), morbidly obese, has black eyes, and can somehow eat his own fingers and grow them back with no problem. The anime doesn't help matters by giving him a double-octave voice.
• Ate His Gun: Literally did this unaware. In his defense, at that time it was transformed into a banana and he was in the process of unpeeling when it turned back. And one of the peels was the trigger. It did not end well.
• Autocannibalism: So gluttonous that he makes a habit of eating his own fingers. They grow back. Somehow.
• Big Eater: He is often seen eating during his scenes, but what takes the cake is when Giorno returns to hand him back the lighter; he's seen practically inhaling a huge pizza, swallowing it whole in a matter of seconds.
• Black Eyes of Evil: One of his most recognizable features are his black eyes and bright pupils.
• Call-Back: Koichi likens Black Sabbath's traits to the first automatic Stand that he fought, Sheer Heart Attack. In a fun reversal of roles, the fight against SHA was when Koichi was the one who didn't know what an automatic Stand was, while an allied JoJo was giving him instructions; here, it's the JoJo who receives advice from the more experienced Koichi.
• The Chooser of the One: He presents all potential Passione members with a lighter and orders them to keep it continuously lit for 24 hours. The flame is very weak, so it's likely to go out if not guarded carefully at all times. If the person relights it after it goes out, Black Sabbath appears, stabs them with the Stand Arrow, and says:
  Black Sabbath: You relit the lighter, didn't you? I'll give you one more chance. You have two possible paths. The first path is to live and become a chosen one. Your only other path is death.
• Churchgoing Villain: He believes that he has the right to kill someone who betrays him because he also believes that God would approve of it.
• Dark Is Evil: Black Sabbath is a primarily black-colored shadow Stand who can move through the shadows to subject those unfortunate enough to light Polpo's lighter to a trial who may kill them or not, while belonging to a nasty user too. This contrasts with Polpo's main yellow outfit.
• Death by Gluttony: Giorno kills him by turning one of his guns into a banana. When Polpo sticks it in his mouth, he accidentally pulls the trigger and gives himself a Boom, Headshot!
• Disproportionate Retribution: He believes that murder is an appropriate response to being disrespected.
• Dumb Muscle: Black Sabbath is an automated stand that is a terrifying opponent capable of nearly defeating Giorno and Koichi, but it restricted to rather straight forward thinking, attacking anyone who saw the lighter relit without hesitation.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Shadow Sabbath" in official English translations.
• Edible Theme Naming: "Polpo" means octopus.
• Equal-Opportunity Evil: He allows teenagers and even children to join Passione, as long as they pass the interview and then the lighter test. Bucciarati was allowed to join at the age of 12; Giorno, Mista, Narancia and Fugo joined at 15, 18, 17, and 16, respectively.
• Evil Sounds Deep: Not exactly the nicest person around, and has a suitably deep voice.
• Fantastic Recruitment Drive: This seems to be Polpo's main function (at least the one most prevalent with him) to Passione, putting aside the administration of his territory. It's noted that Polpo tends to be the one who new potential members must talk to if they want to become members of the gang (for instance apparently all of the members of Bucciarati's gang had to meet him first). This becomes even more apparent as Polpo is the one whom the Boss trusts with the Arrow in order to grant new Stand users to Passione's ranks.
• Fat Bastard: Almost to the point of absurdity. Polpo is so massive and morbidly obese that he nearly takes up the entirety of the cell he lives in (which should be noted is probably about 20 feet high). Hell, when Giorno first came to see him he assumed that Polpo was a yellow bed until he got up and realized that Polpo was actually just sleeping.
• Faux Affably Evil: Polpo is an easygoing man who enjoys the pleasures of life, be they simple ones or extravagant ones. His two discussions with Giorno show him to be not only well read and introspective but how that goes hand in hand with him being an especially dangerous and calculating criminal. He's happy to wax philosophical, although he smoothly ties those philosophies into total loyalty to Passione and the justifications he has towards murder, with the full belief that even God would see him and his fellow gangsters as in the right (and while, to be fair, he wasn't controlling Black Sabbath at the time, it's made clear nothing would've changed if he did).
• Fiction 500: Polpo's cell is filled with luxurious food and wine, has several famous paintings hanging on the walls, and he owns a secret stash of treasure and jewels worth 10 billion lire.
• Fingore: Giorno witnesses him eating his own fingers, only to grow them back immediately after. This is the first thing that hints Giorno off that Polpo is a Stand user, although we never find out if the finger regeneration is actually an ability of Black Sabbath.
• Gonk: Polpo is a very ugly and morbidly obese man with a beaky nose and black eyes.
• Hyper-Awareness: When he first sees Giorno, he notices that the boy's left arm is injured, his right hand's fingers are slightly red as if they've been gripping something, and his skin is creased as if by the handle of a briefcase, meaning he must have been carrying something in his right hand for a while.
• Hypocrite: Polpo gives a long speech about trust and honesty, but everything in it is a lie — he doesn't care about honesty or trust, he only cares about the initiate's skills and whether they fear him enough to obey him. This is made clear during his lighter test, which actually depends on the testee lying and turning the lighter back on, resulting in them gaining a Stand and joining, or dying. Anyone who truthfully tells Polpo that they let the lighter go out will completely fail the test.
• Implacable Man: The only thing that can stop Black Sabbath from hunting you down is light, and even then, it'll immediately slink away through any nearby shadows unless it's either pinned down or completely cut off from any shadows.
• Jabba Table Manners: For all his Wicked Cultured mannerisms, he stuffs his face without a care for anyone who visits him. During Giorno's last visit, he had draped a pizza as big as he was over himself, and takes several bites out of it before slurping it up like pasta.
• Karmic Death: Giorno uses Polpo's gluttony and changes a gun into a banana, tricking Polpo into shooting himself. It also has the bonus benefit of not only allowing Giorno to kill Polpo without making it look like foul play (after all, very few people knew of Gold Experience's abilities at that point), but it also benefited Giorno's companions by giving Bucciarati an opportunity to take over Polpo's territory as a new Capo, and take on the mission of protecting Trish.
• Lack of Empathy: Giorno is furious about Black Sabbath's murder of an innocent janitor, but his acquired knowledge of automatic Stands meant that he knows Polpo didn't deliberately do it. Polpo's speech of how God would forgive murder in retaliation for being insulted, however, is what makes him believe Polpo wouldn't care if he did know.
• Living Shadow: His Stand Black Sabbath is a long-range automated Stand traveling in object's shadows.
• Luxury Prison Suite: Polpo eats well in prison, thanks to a well-stocked private pantry that regularly has luxurious food and wine paired to his meals in it.
• Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All: Lampshaded, as Polpo with his high seat in Passione could leave at just about any time, and he stays since it doesn't matter to him if he's inside or not. The guards also don't honestly care if things can get into his cell, like for example guns and food. Though Sale claims that Polpo is literally too fat to physically leave his cell. Polpo claims that the only downside is that he cannot visit the Sistine Chapel and see Michelangelo's paintings.
• Never Suicide: Giorno transforms one of his guns into a banana so that when Polpo peels it, he accidentally pulls the trigger and shoots himself in the head. To everyone else, it looks like he Ate His Gun.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Compared to the majority of the main cast in Part 5, Polpo is decidedly odd-looking to say the least. He has an oversized head to an obese torso, stubby limbs, a long pointed nose and black sclera, something that no one else aside from Risotto Nero possesses in the Part.
• Plot-Triggering Death: Polpo's early death is what arguably starts the main plot of Golden Wind up. His death gives Bucciarati the means to become a capo and he is given Polpo's assignment of protecting Trish which gives Giorno and Bucciarati's quest to find and kill the Boss a major leg up.
• Shadow Walker: Black Sabbath is less of a living shadow and more of a being who exists within the shadows, as it's able to appear anywhere that doesn't have light cast on it. Giorno works this to his advantage, as by creating a space where no shadows surround it, Black Sabbath can't teleport and is frozen in place as a result.
• Shout-Out: The lyrics of the song "Black Sabbath" make mention of a figure in black declaring a "chosen one". The Stand Black Sabbath happens to be clad in black and uses Stand Arrows to find those with the potential for a Stand. The two fingers that he bites off are even one to the band's guitarist, Tony Iommi, who lost the tips of his middle and ring fingers on his right hand in an industrial accident when he was 17.
• Sigil Spam: The "PoL" marks dotting all over his shirt. His signature lighter also bears the same insignia.
• Small Role, Big Impact: Polpo is just around for the arc that Giorno is initiated in but his role in the story is quite great. The arc immediately following is the hunt for his lost treasure which allows Bucciarati to Rank Up, and the main quest that sets off the story, protecting Trish, was originally Polpo's assignment before it fell to them. Similarly, in the various flashbacks showing how the protagonists joined the gang, all of them end with a meeting with Polpo for their initiation.
• Starter Villain: While Luca and Bucciarati are technically the first opponents whom Giorno confronts at the beginning of the story, the first was a nuisance at worst and didn't even had a Stand, while Bucciarati eventually becomes the co-protagonist of the Part. This makes Polpo (or rather, Black Sabbath, since Polpo was unaware of what was happening during the whole fight) into the true first hostile Stand user found in Golden Wind.
• Super-Empowering: Black Sabbath can stab people with an Arrow to either grant them a Stand or kill them in the process.
• Superpower Lottery: Among automated Stands, Black Sabbath is one of the best. It's strong enough to manhandle people and even Stands specialising in direct combat, can teleport from shadow to shadow, and is smart enough to doggedly pursue its targets through lateral tactics. What's more, even if it's somehow "killed", its link with Polpo is tenuous enough that he isn't harmed in the least, allowing him to send it out to do his bidding as often as he likes.
• Synchronization: Played With. Koichi notes that Black Sabbath is an automated Stand and compares it to Sheer Heart Attack, noting that any damage to it will not reflect back on Polpo. In the end the trope is played straight but different from normal, wherein the damage Polpo takes is reflected onto the Stand rather than the other way around and Polpo's gunshot wound damages Black Sabbath in a similar way.
• Trrrilling Rrrs: In the anime, especially when talking about his "crrrrrrackers".
• Undying Loyalty: To the Boss. After his death, a lot of Passione's members dismiss the notion of him planning to betray the Boss.
• Villainous Glutton: Due to his position in the mob, he gets to stay well protected in a posh prison cell, surrounded by all the food and wine he could ever want. The number of times he can be seen on screen not gorging himself can be counted on one's own hands.
• Voice of the Legion: In the anime, his voice has an additional octave layered beneath it, giving off this effect.
• Weakened by the Light: Black Sabbath dissipates if it's caught in sunlight.
• Wicked Cultured: He has several well-known paintings in his cell, quotes Thomas Fuller while explaining the conditions of his test, and his only regret about being imprisoned is that he can't visit the Sistine Chapel.
• Xanatos Gambit: This seems to be how Polpo's lighter test truly works. If someone actually succeeds in keeping the lighter lit for 24 hours and avoid Black Sabbath, then Polpo recruits a new resourceful and determined ally into Passione, one that exemplifies the virtues he talks about. If they relight the lighter and survive the Stand Arrow and Black Sabbath, then Passione gets a new capable Stand user as a member; one that is willing to do anything to succeed. If they die from the Arrow, then the gang doesn't have to worry about some weakling joining their group, and it's impossible to trace back to them since Black Sabbath doesn't leave evidence. The one thing he didn't count on was his Stand's automatic nature causing a civilian to get caught up and killed in his trial, leading the righteous Giorno to kill him as revenge.

Pericolo

Pericolo

Voiced by: Shinpachi Tsuji (TV anime, JP), John Snyder (TV anime, EN) (credited as Leonard Draper)

"I've lived a full life thanks to the Boss' innumerable blessings. It was replete with adventures most can only dream of. My mission is now complete. Be safe, ragazzi, and may my prayers reach his ears."

A capo who gave Bucciarati's group their mission to deliver Trish to the Boss.

---

• Affably Evil: Pericolo's a powerful gangster but also a respectful and personable man. The anime adds to it with some small moments and a fairly warm inflection to his voice.
• Cool Old Guy: Pericolo seems like a very friendly man and Bucciarati holds him in great esteem telling his men to bow in respect when he first arrives.
• Fish Eyes: Pericolo's left eye is always shown wandering, although he seems far from unintelligent.
• Intergenerational Friendship: He's particularly close with Bucciarati, who greatly appreciates him and is noticeably affected by his death. While Pericolo is a Cool Old Guy, Bucciarati is in his 20s.
• Janitor Impersonation Infiltration: Him and Trish don custodian's clothing to disguise themselves as they meet Bucciarati outside a public washroom.
• Muggle: He notes that he doesn't have a Stand, which makes him one of the few non-Stand users inside Passione aside from Luca.
• Meaningful Name: Pericolo is Italian for peril. By giving Bucciarati his mission to protect Trish, he sets off the chain of events that wipes out whole squads within Passione and just under half of Bucciarati's group due to the ensuing intra-gang conflicts.
• Mr. Exposition: Pericolo is the one who informs Bucciarati's group of Trish's identity as the Boss' daughter, provides a brief explanation of Trish's mother and informs the group that she is being targeted by La Squadra.
• Odd Name Out: One of the few Passione members not named after food.
• Small Role, Big Impact: Pericolo only appears a few times in the manga before his death yet he is the one who makes Bucciarati an officer and is the one to give him the mission to protect Trish essentially kick-starting off the main story of Golden Wind.
• Undying Loyalty: Pericolo holds a great deal of admiration for the Boss, enough that he's willing to kill himself to prevent La Squadra from finding out Trish's whereabouts. This is especially noticeable as he's one of the few characters completely loyal to the Boss.

La Squadra di Esecuzioni^note Lit. "Execution Team" in Italian, also known as "Hitman Team" in anime.

See La Squadra di Esecuzioni

Unità Speciale per Boss^note Lit. "Boss' Special Unit" in Italian, also known as "Elite Guard" in the anime.

In General

"Looks like we've got ourselves some traitors... in Venezia. Their names... Bruno Bucciarati and Giorno Giovanna. Capture them dead or alive. These are the Boss' direct orders!"

— Vinegar Doppio to Squalo and possibly the rest of elite guards

Unità Speciale is an elite subdivision in Passione. They are deployed by the Boss after Team Bucciarati defected from Passione to hunt down its members one by one, although the majority of members don't actually show loyalty to the Boss, as some of them have their own reasons. They serve as Villain of the Week for Team Bucciarati for the second half of Golden Wind.

---

Tropes applying to Unità Speciale in general:

• Bash Brothers: In the group, only Carne is fought by himself. Squalo and Tizano form an effective team, and Bucciarati explicitly says that Cioccolata and Secco's Stands work amazingly together.
• Elite Mooks: They are groups of assassins deployed in Venice as the response for Team Bucciarati betraying the Boss and are referred to as his elite guards. Each of them manages to be more dangerous than La Squadra, causing the entire team to be on the backfoot the entirety of their fights. Carne by himself manages to almost wipe out the team until Trish awakens her Stand to counter it, Cioccolata manages the biggest killing streak of any minor villain by taking out almost all of Rome, and Secco causes Bucciarati to become severely handicapped in order to defeat him. Squalo and Tiziano don't seem as intimidating in comparison but manage to cause Giorno to nearly drown, cause some minor trouble to the Gang and humiliate Narancia through their teamwork.
• Internal Death Squad: They're tasked with taking out traitors like Team Bucciarati.
• Only in It for the Money: Squalo and Tiziano in particular have their own reason to hunt down Bucciarati's group: satisfying their own pocketbook and the Boss' approval.
• Praetorian Guard: They are the Boss' elite guard, and as such, they all present a bigger threat to Team Bucciarati than Squadra Esecuzioni whom they had previously faced. La Squadra typically had an advantage by having strong Stand abilities and fighting the members of Bucciarati's group in isolation, but all of the Unità Speciale's fights are practically against most of the gang-stars, and they still manage to be a major threat. Carne and Cioccolata in particular are capable of causing massive collateral damage with their Stand abilities.
• Punch-Clock Villain: In comparison to Cioccolata and Secco, Tiziano and Squalo are fighting the heroes because of the pay they'll get and it's because of orders from the Boss. It doesn't become personal for either of them until one is fatally wounded, resulting in the other to want to avenge the other, not out of any obligation to the Boss.
• Psycho for Hire: Cioccolata and Secco (the former in particular) are solely in it for the killing and torture and have no real loyalty to the Boss.
• Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Tiziano and Squalo have Stands that while not particularly threatening on their own, especially Tiziano's compared to Squalo's, but manage to put Narancia in a bind, taking out Giorno briefly and briefly cause trouble to the entire group until Narancia removes his handicap to easily kill the two once he corners them- all through well-coordinated teamwork. Carne seemingly subverts this by dying instantly to Mista's Stand, but when his Stand's true nature is revealed- it's played dangerously straight, Giorno and Narancia are easily taken out and it takes Trish awakening her Stand to subdue the otherwise immortal threat since killing it isn't an option. Cioccolata with his devastating Green Day manages the largest killing spree up to that point by taking out almost all of Rome's population with his Stand and nearly killing Giorno and Mista. Secco, while not on the same wide-spread scope as Cioccolata manages to prove potentially more dangerous than his partner, forcing Bucciarati to cripple himself in order to win, making him unable to fight until the Chariot Requiem situation.
• Undying Loyalty: Subverted. With the exception of Carne who died before his loyalties were elaborated on, none of the group has any real loyalty towards the Boss. Squalo and Tiziano are doing their job for money and orders, and only take matters seriously for the sake of the other, not for the Boss himself. Cioccolata and Secco are so sadistic and monstrous that even the murderously paranoid Diavolo is disgusted by them- keeping them on a tight leash unless it's a last resort. And even then, it doesn't stop the duo from planning to take down the Boss and take control of the organization for themselves
• Viler New Villain: The Unità Speciale are the personal guard of the Boss. With the exception of Squalo and Tiziano, none of them have sympathetic qualities that La Squadra are capable of displaying, especially Cioccolata and Secco.

Squalo

Squalo (Stand: Clash)

Voiced by: Tomoaki Maeno (TV anime, JP), Ryan Colt Levy (TV anime, EN), Hidenobu Kiuchi (Vento Aureo video game)

^Clash

Tiziano's partner, Squalo and he attack Narancia to force the heroes into misdirection.

His Stand, Clash (named after The Clash), takes the appearance of a shark and can travel through liquids to attack.

---

• Affably Evil: While he does cause a lot of trouble, he's portrayed as genuinely friendly in-spite of his hotheadedness.
• Anime Hair: Squalo's is tied up in about six or seven pigtails that hang from the top of his head.
• Battle Couple: Not only are Squalo and Tiziano a couple but they also fight alongside each other, using both of their Stand powers combined.
• Coordinated Clothes: He and Tiziano are a downplayed example as what they wear is not obvious but they do share similar elements: blue headbands, gloves, jumpsuits that made them look like tennis players and sandals.
• A Day in the Limelight: Squalo and Tiziano are featured in a short story starring them, testimone di gangster, published in the December 2022 issue of Ultra Jump.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Crush" in official English translations.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He cares deeply for his partner Tiziano, and is driven to avenge Tiziano after the latter took the bullet for him.
• Extra Eyes: Clash has a third eye in the center of its forehead.
• Fiery Redhead: Squalo has red hair and is a hot-headed assassin.
• Gayngster: He and Tiziano are confirmed to be a couple.
• In Love with the Mark: According to testimone di gangster, Squalo was told by his squad leader to kill Tiziano after the latter had outlived his usefulness regarding a trial against 32 Passione members. However, he ended up falling in love with him instead.
• Meaningful Name: Italian for "shark", which his Stand embodies. It may also fit into the Edible Theme Naming of Part 5, since certain species of sharks are commonly used in Italian cuisine.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: What causes him to get defeated; he has Narancia dead to rights with Clash at the boy's throat, but unlike Giorno, he attempts to burrow Clash into the throat to torture him as payback for Tiziano's death rather than go for a fatal throat bite then and there. This plus Clash's small size from the small spray of blood on Narancia and a bit of Heroic Willpower gives Narancia more than enough time to finish off Squalo despite the severe pain he was in by simply riddling the man with bullets.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: A teleporting, size-shifting, robot shark Stand.
• Only Flesh Is Safe: See Weaksauce Weakness below; because of this restriction, Clash can't teleport inside of your blood, cranial fluids, tears, etc. unless it's already been expelled from your body in some way.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The hotheaded and aggressive red to Tiziano's more level-headed and tactical blue.
• Say My Name: Squalo and Tiziano have a habit of saying each other's names in a seductive manner while gazing into each other's eyes.
• Shark Fin of Doom: When Clash is idle in a body of liquid, very often will only the top fin of it be visible. It'll do this even if the liquid isn't deep enough to reasonably fit Clash at its size, like when it's swimming in the tears streaming off of someone's cheeks.
• Sizeshifter: An involuntary example compared to other shape-shifting Stands, Clash's size changes depending on the amount of water/fluid it teleports into. A glass of water or a stream of tears makes it no bigger than a human tongue, while Venetian canals make it at least as big if not bigger than a regular shark.
• Shoot the Medic First: His primary motive for wanting to take Giorno out first. If him and Tiziano get rid of Bucciarati's healer, then any injuries that his group sustains will wear them down much faster.
• Teleporters and Transporters: His Stand has the power to teleport from one body of water to another (or other mostly-water liquids like a bowl of soup or glass of wine).
• This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Clash has some good range on how far it can travel, but it needs some form of liquid to subsist within. Great if you're fighting someone in Venice, a city famous for the waterways all over it; horrible if you're fighting someone in a place that's extremely dry.
• Threatening Shark: His Stand Clash, which has the form of a metallic shark with three eyes, played straight in this situation. Especially when it's in your soup and can jump from liquid to liquid as needed to follow you. And when he captures his target, intending to drag him along on the teleportation trips where, if Squalo isn't stopped quickly enough, they will drown.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Clash can't teleport into a liquid if it is sealed off.

Tiziano

Tiziano (Stand: Talking Head)

Voiced by: Kenjiro Tsuda (TV anime, JP), Jordan Reynolds (TV anime, EN), Ryuzou Ishino (Vento Aureo video game)

^{Talking Head}

Squalo's partner, Tiziano replaces Narancia's tongue with his Stand in order to misdirect the heroes.

His Stand, Talking Head (named after Talking Heads), can attach itself to the opponent's tongue. It then forces the victim into miscommunication if they tell the truth, including gesturing and writing, no matter what they do.

---

• Adaptational Dye-Job: His silver hair in the colored manga, but blonde in the anime.
• Affably Evil: Just like his boyfriend, he's nothing short of polite.
• Affectionate Nickname: His partner Squalo calls him "Tiz."
• Ambiguously Brown: Has a darker complexion than other characters of this part.
• Anime Hair: Downplayed. While the coloring is bizarre, his hairstyle is one of the more realistic ones especially in Part 5. A Long-Haired Pretty Boy doesn't stand out too much in real life.
• Battle Couple: Not only are Squalo and Tiziano a couple but they also fight alongside each other, using both of their Stand powers combined.
• The Comically Serious: Tiziano isn't that quirky himself, but his Stand is the subject of the humorous attempts Narancia makes in trying to keep his friends from danger.
• Coordinated Clothes: He and Squalo are a downplayed example as what they wear is not obvious but they do share similar elements: blue headbands, gloves, jumpsuits that made them look like tennis players and sandals.
• A Day in the Limelight: Squalo and Tiziano are featured in a short story starring them, testimone di gangster, published in the December 2022 issue of Ultra Jump.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Talking Mouth" in official English translations.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Both he and his partner Squalo care for one another, to the point Tiziano takes a bullet for his partner not only to save him but also to give him the required liquid to use his Stand.
• Gayngster: Confirmed to be in a relationship with Squalo.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: Downplayed. Much in the vein of Little Feet and Beach Boy, Talking Head is a weaker Stand whose user applies its ability in a creative way to be a bigger threat than it first appears. That said, while Formaggio and Pesci could put up a fight independently, Talking Head only works as a supporting Stand and has no real ability to fight directly. He's still a threat and even manages to turn the tide when Narancia and Giorno outmaneuver them, but the physical fighting is left up to Squalo and Clash.
• Irony: When they were hiding from Narancia, Tiziano keeps telling Squalo to keep calm in order to prevent Aerosmith from tracking them. It was Tiziano's own moment of panic that gave them away.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He has long silver or light blond hair in the anime, and is easily the more conventionally handsome of the duo.
• Multi Purpose Tongue: Talking Head also has the ability to elongate and control its victims tongues, which it uses to cut Narancia with his own knife.
• Named After Someone Famous: He is named after Italian Renaissance artist Tiziano Vecelli.
• No One Could Survive That!: His reaction to Narancia cutting out his tongue with his own knife to remove Talking Head. What he finds out a few seconds later is that Giorno turned one of his ladybugs into another tongue and gave it to Narancia in the bathroom.
• Poor Communication Kills: The reason he is so deadly when combined with Clash, as he can invoke this on his victims.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The level-headed and tactical blue to the hotheaded Squalo's red.
• Say My Name: Squalo and Tiziano have a habit of saying each other's names in a seductive manner while gazing into each other's eyes.
• Support Party Member: His Stand is not suited for combat on its own, but working in tandem with Squalo's offensive Stand Clash makes Talking Head a deadly threat.
• Taking the Bullet: Not just to save his beloved Squalo, but also to give Clash a liquid field via his own blood. Sadly, it doesn't buy Squalo much more than about a few seconds, if that.
• Tongue-Tied: His Stand twists the victim's words so they always communicate the opposite of their intent — even if it's writing or gesturing.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: testimone di gangster reveals that in the past, this almost happened to him when his squad leader ordered Squalo to kill him after he had served his purpose in a trial against 32 Passione members. However, Squalo fell in love with him and killed the squad leader instead.
• You're Insane!: His reaction to Narancia cutting out his own tongue to remove Talking Head, scaring Squalo & Tiziano into increasing their breathing so he could track them with Aerosmith's radar.
  Tiziano: That guy's a maniac!

Carne

Carne (Stand: Notorious B.I.G)

Voiced by: Daisuke Sakaguchi (TV anime, JP), Jordan Reynolds (Carne) (TV anime, EN), David Vincent (Notorious B.I.G) (TV anime, EN)

^{Notorious B.I.G}

A member of Passione that was, upon introduction, shortly killed by Mista.

Unfortunately, it activated his Stand (named after The Notorious B.I.G.), which follows and consumes whatever is moving fastest and increasing its pace to keep up. Since he never spoke, or really did much of anything, the following tropes are more for Notorious B.I.G than Carne.

---

• Adaptation Dye-Job: Carne has green hair in the manga, while the anime changes it to pink. Notorious B.I.G's "flesh" is changed to be a meaty orange as well; the manga made it white (when it was first summoned), and later, a pinkish-purple (as its blob form).
• Almighty Idiot: Notorious B.I.G is ludicrously powerful and completely unkillable, but has no higher brain function other than mindlessly hunting down and devouring the fastest-moving thing in the immediate vicinity.
• Ambiguous Situation: It's not clear to what extent Notorious B.I.G is sapient or if there's some vestige of Carne's soul inside it, as it's clearly capable of intimidation tactics and revealing its own name to Giorno, something only Carne would've known.
• And I Must Scream: Screaming is all Notorious B.I.G can do once it gets trapped in the Tyrrhenian Sea forever, chasing the never stopping currents. Making matters worse for it is also being surrounded by maddening amounts of motion-based stimuli from the waves in all directions and being unable to die due to its immortality.
• Awesome, but Impractical: Notorious B.I.G is one of the strongest Stands of the manga, but its power can only be activated if the user dies. Additionally, once it does activate, it's nearly invincible and unstoppable, but the simple automated rules that control its behavior make it comparatively easy to deal with once you understand how it works.
• Ax-Crazy: Notorious B.I.G mindlessly attacks anything in the immediate area that moves.
• Blessed with Suck: In a particularly unique instance for the series, Carne got a Stand that would not activate until he was murdered. As a unique post-mortem Stand, Notorious B.I.G can't die, ever. It comes back to bite it hard once it gets trapped in the ocean.
• Blob Monster: Notorious B.I.G is a flesh-consuming creature that attacks and consumes the fastest-moving thing in the vicinity.
• Complete Immortality: Noticeably, it is one of the few Stands that can outlive their master, including Anubis, but more importantly cannot be destroyed by any means, being able to regenerate from any attack that even harms it.
• Curb-Stomp Battle:
  • Carne himself goes down less than a minute thanks to Mista.
  • Notorious B.I.G manages to temporarily incapacitate Giorno, Mista and Narancia.
• Death-Activated Superpower: Notorious B.I.G isn't truly activated until it receives feelings of hate and contempt on account of Carne's death.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Notorious Chase" in official English translations. It's a fairly meaningful one, since Notorious B.I.G can only attack moving objects; thus, it's chasing them.
• Dumb Muscle: The only true weakness of B.I.G is that it is non-sentient, instinctually attacking the fastest object around. It will actively let go of a victim to attack a faster object.
• Edible Theme Naming: "Meat".
• Eldritch Abomination: Even by Stand standards, it's bizarre. It is immortal, able to infect the nearest organic body in order to grow as well as control those infected parts, and has an overall monstrous appearance.
• Energy Absorption: Kinetic energy can feed Notorious B.I.G to grow its size. Someone moving their limbs around won't grow it in any noticeable way, but the hundred-thousand RPM of a plane engine, on the other hand...
• From a Single Cell: ...is capable of growing even the smallest flecks of B.I.G into a monstrosity as big as the plane itself.
• Gonk: Carne is baffling to look at, as while his head and torso are clearly that of an obese man he looks like his arms and legs were taken from a much skinnier person. He's also oddly square in shape.
• Hopeless Boss Fight: While Carne goes down easily, Notorious B.I.G is so strong that only dropping it in the ocean keeps it from harming the heroes any further.
• Invincible Boogeymen: Carne's Stand, Notorious B.I.G, is unique in many respects: it only activates after Carne's death and thus, the standard strategy of "knocking out/killing the Stand user to stop the Stand" is useless. It's a Blob Monster that consumes everything in its path, is nigh-indestructible — having pieces of it chopped off will just make the pieces sentient — and it will chase after any sufficiently speedy thing nearby, and it can move really fast. Its only weakness is that it only acts in primal instinct, so it can be fooled in various ways; the protagonists only get rid of it after it hijacks the plane they're flying in (by partly consuming it) and they escape in midair, while the plane's failing engine causes it to fall towards the ocean. Even then, it's still alive, thoroughly confused with the ever-moving ocean currents (which trigger its instinct); it's said that the ocean it fell into becomes a scary place, with multiple ship sinking incidents caused by the still-living Stand.
• The Juggernaut: Absolutely nothing will stop it from killing whatever it sees. Nothing.
• Living Motion Detector: While the "living" part is far from reality, Notorious B.I.G will only target moving objects, sending itself at a speed faster than the thing it's tracking in order to catch it.
• Logical Extreme: Of Ebony Devil, the Stand of Devo the Cursed. The primary ability of Ebony Devil activates when Devo is hurt, powered by his hatred of his target. The only ability from Notorious B.I.G activates from the grudge caused by Carne's death, but it's far, far more potent.
• Logical Weakness: Notorious B.I.G targets moving objects and is immune to damage from its target. One way to damage it is by having B.I.G itself be the moving object that crashes into something, while its surroundings stay stationary; another way is by distracting it with a different source of motion stimuli while crushing it slower than the distraction can move.
• Meaningful Name: His name means "meat," as in "dead meat", and doubles as Edible Theme Naming. It can alternatively be translated as "flesh" in reference to Notorious B.I.G's flesh-eating ability, and may also refer to "carnage".
• Mirthless Laughter: In the anime, thus explaining why he has a voice actor credit, the only sound he makes other than grunts of pain after Mista shoots him is a very disturbing staccato chuckle. It doesn't help that his pinprick pupils get even smaller and he gets a really creepy smile on his face when he does it.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: And unlike Yellow Temperance and Yo-Yo Ma, there is absolutely nothing anybody can do about it. Their best bet is to drop it in the ocean, but that just changed what it was attacking.
• No Object Permanence: Notorious B.I.G will immediately let go of a victim for a faster object, showing no memory of its previous target.
• Non-Standard Character Design: While most of the Jojo characters, including the gonky ones, look relatively realistic, Carne looks like an alien trying to disguise itself as a human. He's obese with a distinct lack of neck, a square-shaped body, no visible nose, a lack of external ears, a tiny mouth, and small round eyes with pin-prick pupils.
• Psychotic Smirk: Carne gives one as he's approaching the group's plane.
• Puppeteer Parasite: One of the first things that B.I.G does is manipulate Giorno's arm into subconsciously writing his thoughts, before revealing its own name.
• Sea Monster: After Trish dumped it into the sea, it was trapped by the rapid tides and attacked any ship that came near, earning its haunt as a place where ships mysteriously vanished. The anime adds a still during its "post-mortem" that depicts it as having grown into a vast Kraken-esque creature, likely due to the sailors and ships it consumed.
• Shout-Out: Besides the obvious, the fact that his Stand activates after his death is implied to be a reference to Biggie's final studio album, Life After Death.
• Story-Breaker Power: An indestructible amorphous murder engine that, since his user activated him through death, is effectively even more unkillable than Kars. Thankfully, he cannot see and acts on impulsive instinct. To the sea with ye, ye great blob monster.
• Super-Persistent Predator: Notorious B.I.G's powers in a nutshell. It locks onto and tries to consume the thing moving fastest in its range and increases its own speed to ensure that it can't get away. This also means that chucking it out of a plane to try and get rid of it is pointless since it'll just move at Super-Speed to keep pace.
• Thanatos Gambit: He essentially serves as a suicide bomber to unleash an indestructible Stand on his targets.
• Undying Loyalty: He willingly gets himself killed just so he could unleash his obscenely deadly Stand ability upon the heroes.
• Uncanny Valley: He looks more alien than human, due to his flat, wide, noseless face, completely round eyes, square torso shape, and spindly limbs. Likely Invoked, to make him look more frightening.
• Uncatty Resemblance: His Stand in its humanoid form bears a heavy resemblance to him, down to the shape of his eyes, teeth, and proportions.
• Weaksauce Weakness: It's possible to hurt B.I.G if one attacks with the right amount of force slow enough that it doesn't see it coming, though this won't stop it. Also, its own motion-tracking ability means that if it gets dropped in something as chaotic as, say, the ocean, it'll be trapped as it chases the shifting tides and any ships that come into range, utterly unable to discern the way out of the water.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: Carne himself has no characterization before he gets killed by Mista, though the anime adds him chuckling to himself as he approaches implying that he knew what was going to happen and his Undying Loyalty to the Boss made him unafraid of his own death.
• You Can't Kill What's Already Dead: Notorious B.I.G is impossible to kill because it activates after its user's death. The best Team Bucciarati can do is drop it in the middle of the ocean, forcing it to chase after the flowing water currents forever.

Cioccolata

Cioccolata (Stand: Green Day)

Voiced by: Atsushi Miyauchi (TV anime, JP and All-Star Battle R), Bill Butts (TV anime, EN), Naoya Uchida (All-Star Battle), Ryuzou Ishino (Vento Aureo video game)

^{Green Day}

"As our curiosity continues to grow, so too does the boldness of our keen spirits. And it is that very same inquisitiveness that fuels our cognitive evolution. I yearn to see it... What glorious grimaces will they unveil as they wrestle with the cold jaws of death?"

The last opponent the heroes face before confronting the Boss, he's partnered with Secco. A former doctor who tormented patients that came to him, he did things like intentionally misdiagnosing them so they'd go under his knife, limiting their anesthetics so they'd begin to scream mid-operation, and inflicting pounds upon pounds of mental abuse on the elderly.

His Stand, Green Day (named after Green Day), is similar to Purple Haze, but with mold instead of toxins. Once infected, if the victim drops in altitude, the mold begins to grow and will devour the flesh of whatever it's implanted on.

---

• Adaptation Dye-Job: In the colored manga and anime, his hair is bright green. In the PS2 game, it's light blue.
• Adaptational Curves: The manga never shows Green Day from the chest down. The PS2 game opted to connect it to a slug-like lower body, and in the anime, it's given normal legs and a bit of a tubby potbelly.
• Adaptational Early Appearance: In episode 10 of the Golden Wind anime, he appears in the flashback of La Squadra as the one who sliced Sorbet up. While he's presented as a shadowy silhouette, his distinctive hairstyle clearly makes it apparent that it's him.
• Adaptational Modesty: The anime and the game give him an undershirt, so the holes cut in his jacket no longer show skin underneath. There are also fewer holes in the anime, perhaps most notably on his sleeves; what was originally a spiderweb of missing fabric in the manga has been reduced to a single line of T-Tetronimo shapes along his outer arms. All in all, it serves to make his outfit look more like an (extremely stylised) doctor's lab coat.
• Adaptational Villainy: Not that he wasn't a nasty piece of work already, but the anime confirms that he was the one who tortured Sorbet and Gelato to death.
• Affectionate Gesture to the Head: To praise Secco for doing a good job, he rubs his head and exclaims, "Good, good, good, good, good, good!"
• Ambiguously Gay: Borders Depraved Homosexual, He tells Secco "I love you" (or "You are very dear to me" in the English dub). It is ambiguous because he treats Secco as a pet rather than as a fellow human, let alone being such a sociopath that it's questionable he can even love anything but torture and murder.
• Anime Hair: Long spikes with puff-balls on the ends, fittingly making it look like mold growth. And it's green.
• Ax-Crazy: Like most villains, but has no restraints whatsoever to limit his insanity, such as Alessi's cowardice and DIO's twisted sense of honor, making him incredibly dangerous.
• Bad Powers, Bad People: Flesh-eating mold that causes people to dissolve. Sounds like the perfect power for a psychotic Mad Doctor who Loves the Sound of Screaming.
  Giorno: [Stands] are supposed to mirror their users' minds. If there's even a trace of guilt in their hearts, the user may subconsciously stop themselves at some point. But this cazzone, he revels in carnage. It's all he lives for. His Stand is cruelty incarnate!
• Berserk Button: Apparently doesn't like being called a "piece of shit"; it's enough to spur him out of severe brain damage and lunge at his opponent in fury, when he was begging for mercy seconds prior.
• Big, Stupid Doodoo-Head: In the anime, his response to Giorno calling him a piece of shit is "You're so mean!" before he gets the ever-loving crap beaten out of him by Gold Experience. The English dub changes it to "What did you just call me?!"
• Body Horror: A lot of Stands are downright nasty, but a flesh-devouring mold that makes people disintegrate if it germinates fast enough? Even more amazing, he's immune to the more harmful effects, so he can sever off body parts and use the mold to prevent blood loss and keep nerves connected? Geez.
• Call-Back: Cioccolata's seven-page/30 seconds beatdown at the hands of Giorno's Gold Experience is a direct reference to Steely Dan's beatdown by Jotaro's Star Platinum which "only" lasted three pages in the manga and roughly 20 seconds in the anime. Both are preceded by "The Reason You Suck" Speech but in Cioccolata's case the actual beating is exaggerated as he is pummeled more than enough to kill him, which is followed by him landing in a garbage disposal truck. You could say that Steely Dan having multiple bones fractured and being launched through a brick wall is tame in comparison.
• The Cameo: In the second episode of the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan TV drama, his name appears on a book titled Cioccolata's Operative Orthopaedics.
• Catchphrase: "Good, good, good, good, good, good, good!" (In Japanese, it's "Yoshi, yoshi, yoshi, yoshi, yoshi, yoshi!")
• Creepy High-Pitched Voice: He has this in the Vento Aureo video game, fitting of his Monster Clown appearance. The anime gives him a deeper voice instead. Interestingly though, the French dub of the anime retains a higher-pitched voice.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: He gets shot in the head, then the bullet turns into a stag beetle that eats his brains and bursts out of it, then he suffers a savage beatdown for seven pages/30 seconds from a Stand that can make its victims experience pain longer than normal. He's beaten with such force that his body was starting to fall apart due to the stitches he used to sew his body together in their fight coming loose, before finally getting crushed in a garbage truck's compactor. The anime makes it worse by having him attempt to beg Giorno to stop shortly before the beatdown ends, making it clear that he was still conscious for most of it. And he deserved every second of it.
• Deadly Doctor: His time as a doctor gave him extensive knowledge of the human body and he wears white clothing. He can use his medical knowledge both offensively (such as when he tortured and killed Sorbet) and defensively when he knew how to sever himself into pieces and engage in Detachment Combat, then put himself back together with little problem.
• Death by Irony: After spending a lifetime tormenting people mentally and physically for his own twisted pleasure giving no mercy to anyone, Cioccolata suffers one of the most brutal beatdowns in the franchise's history after Giorno denies him mercy.
• Defiant to the End: He tries to be this in both versions after being mortally wounded, lunging toward Giorno for calling him a "piece of shit", but it's more this trope in the dub where he sounds genuinely furious while in the original Japanese version, he childishly calls Giorno mean. It goes out the window once his No-Holds-Barred Beatdown truly begins.
• Depending on the Artist: Because Green Day was never shown from the waist down in the original manga, its design differs depending on the adaptation. In the Vento Aureo video game, its lower body is mollusk-like and drapes across the floor, while in the TV anime and Pitter-Patter Pop!, it has a standard pair of legs.
• Detachment Combat: He can dismember himself and keep the various parts still functioning even when they're not connected.
• Dirty Coward: Interestingly zigzagged. Although Cioccolata is prone to panic and becomes a trembling wreck when the chips are down as shown when Giorno gets the upper hand, he's also just as quick to regain his composure and never lets it become his weakness due to his mental strength and being defiant to the very end. He's also so mentally unhinged that he isn't above literally dismembering himself in order to gain a tactical advantage. However, that doesn't stop him from using underhanded tactics in a fight or shielding himself with his chaotically destructive Stand ability, let alone taking Mista and Coco Jumbo hostage as a final desperate act to save himself from Giorno's retaliation, so he as well is afraid of his own mortality. In a nutshell, while Cioccolata outshines many when it comes to determination, he isn't the pathetic, boot-licking worm Steely Dan was, nor the ideal image of the social darwinist he himself looks up to. These traits arguably make Cioccolata even more terrifying as an opponent because he is extremely unpredictable and Giorno manages to win him only by outsmarting him.
• Doctor's Disgraceful Demotion: When Cioccolata was working as a surgeon, he would deliberately mess up the dose of anesthetics so his patients would wake up mid-operation, allowing him to enjoy seeing them in agonizing pain. He was fired after killing one of his patients, but didn't get arrested because the murder was mistaken for an accident. Now he works for Passione as the Boss' personal Torture Technician.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Green Tea" in official English translations.
• The Dreaded: Implied. Everyone who knows Cioccolata's true nature is disturbed by his sadism and the sheer destructive nature of his Stand power^note The only notable exception being Giorno who keeps outsmarting him several times. Secco deliberately acts around him like he's mentally challenged and broken by all the abuse and follows his orders without question because it makes him feel safe. Even the Boss is creeped out by him, as he put Cioccolata on the back burner of his organization, only bringing him out as a last resort, and deliberately keeping more than a mile between because he is simply too dangerous to interact with. The anime reinforces this concept, as Cioccolata's part-time duty in Passione was to work as a Torture Technician who brutally kills people to send a warning, intimidating those who would rebel against the Boss, and he would have most likely rebelled had the Boss not given him enough people to kill. The members of La Squadra were certainly shaken by the outcome of what Cioccolata did to Sorbet and the reactions of both Gelato and Sorbet as well as one of Cioccolata's former patients who had the misfortune of falling under his knife show why they should be afraid of him. Even out-of-universe, he won first place on a poll of scary Part 5 characters.
• Early-Bird Cameo: In the anime, during Formaggio's flashback, he's briefly seen as the one that gave Sorbet his gruesome fate, following the Boss' orders.
• Edible Theme Naming: His name is Italian for "chocolate."
• Elder Abuse: In his teens he worked at a care home and proceeded to drug and gaslight the patients. He drove several to suicide.
• Evil Counterpart:
  • To Giorno, as both have Stands that can manipulate living things. Where Giorno temporarily vitalizes things with Gold Experience, though, Cioccolata effectively de-vitalizes whatever Green Day's spores manifest upon.
  • To Fugo, as they both possess similar Stands and are intelligent people who have a violent dark side. The difference is that Fugo has a genuine moral code and he keeps his darker impulses under wraps, as opposed to Cioccolata, who revels in the destruction he causes and has no morals. It makes sense when you consider that Cioccolata was likely meant to serve as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for Fugo after the mole plot was dropped.
• Evil Laugh: Has an especially nasty, annoying and sadistic cackle in the anime adaptation.
• Eviler than Thou: Inverted. You know you're an awful person when someone who is currently trying to murder their own daughter out of sheer and unjustified paranoia thinks you're horrible. He's this to the entire organization as well and is arguably its most depraved member. Even the hardened assassins of La Squadra are terrified of the lengths of depravity he's willing to go.
• Evil Genius: He's a Mad Doctor who is very knowledgeable about human biology. He exploits this in his Detachment Combat, knowing how to exploit his Stand's power to detach parts of his body without losing too much blood, and quickly sew them back if he needs to.
• Evil Is Hammy: Besides his depravity and egocentrism, Cioccolata is extremely hammy and melodramatic and easily rivals the likes of DIO when it comes to being a megalomaniac.
• Evil Sounds Deep: He is voiced by Atsushi Miyauchi in the anime and Bill Butts in the English dub, both of whom give Cioccolata a very deep voice with some melodic inflections that fit his deranged personality.
• Facial Markings: He has green lines on his face that match the color of his hair. Hard to tell if they're makeup, tattoos, or something else. At any rate, they're creepy.
• Faking the Dead: Near the end of the fight with Giorno. Although like his father, Giorno's not fooled, and was even prepared for it beforehand.
• Fantastic Nuke: Green Day has such a large area of effect (effectively infinite in developed urban areas) for its deadly power that it's equivalent to a bio-weapon or dirty bomb, and the fight against him has one of the highest body counts in the entire series.
• Faux Affably Evil: Cioccolata, upon first meeting Team Bucciarati, puts up the guise of a soft-spoken and polite man, philosophically musing on humanity's curiosity and happiness and doting on Secco. However, as the battle progresses and Giorno gains the upper hand, he begins to show just how much of an insane monster he really is.
• Fluffy the Terrible: The most terrifying villain of the part, aside from Diavolo himself, has a name that translates to "chocolate". Also, his Stand's localized name — Green Tea — is a rather goofy name for something used for mass murder.
• For the Evulz: The reason why he kills people is to see their faces trapped in terror as they perish.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Absolutely no one likes this guy, and for good reason too. Even an amoral nut like Diavolo thinks he's a scumbag and treats employing him as a necessary evil, and even Secco, his partner in crime and supposed best friend, doesn't give a damn about him after his death, and only hung out with him because Cioccolata was powerful and would give him treats and money.
• Gaslighting: Elaborated more on in the Anime. When he worked in an elderly home, one of his pastimes was to degrade his patients and convince them that their families hated and avoided them. Several committed suicide as a result.
• Gender-Blender Name: His name is actually the feminine equivalent of the word cioccolato.
• A God Am I: He believes that slaughtering people allows him to transcend all of humanity and understand life itself.
• Godzilla Threshold: Due to his terrifying Stand's killing potential and Cioccolata's gleefully unnecessary cruelty, the Boss only uses him as a last resort when Bucciarati's gang defects and comes closer to finding his identity, to the point where the Boss warns Doppio that Cioccolata may need to be disposed of after the job is done if he causes too much collateral damage in the process.
• Green and Mean: His hair is green and his stand is called "Green Day", and he's very, very evil.
• Green Is Gross: His Stand Green Day creates a sickening green mold that consumes any unfortunate victim alive.
• Hated by All: Nobody, absolutely nobody likes Cioccolata. Team Bucciarati is horrified by the massacres he commits, Secco only likes him for the money, the strength and the treats, other Passione members are stated to call him and Secco monsters, he's a disgraced doctor and even the Boss sees him as the lowest of the low. Speaking of which, even the aforementioned Boss, as despicable as he is, has some genuinely loyal subordinates, such as Pericolo and Doppio. Cioccolata doesn't even have that, and few would hold it to anyone if they weren't fond of Cioccolata.
• Hate Sink: Even in a cast full of gangsters and assassins, Cioccolata stands out as the vilest of the lot and anyone he comes across in-universe considers him as such (Yes, that includes Diavolo who is alongside DIO the nastiest Big Bad in the series). And on top of it, he's an egotistical and narcissistic asshole who thinks he's above everyone else and only cares about his own morbid view of life. There's literally nothing even remotely likable or redeeming about the guy except the very well-deserved and prolonged beatdown of seven pages/30 seconds by Giorno's Gold Experience. The anime reinforces this by expanding on his backstory that shows his cruelties in gruesome detail as if to show how irredeemable the monster is. Long story short, Cioccolata is without a doubt the evilest villain of the entire series, making even the most sickeningly loathsome characters and villains look like angels in comparison.
• Healing Factor: Green Day can be used in this way, though only under certain circumstances and only for Cioccolata himself. When Cioccolata dismembers himself, he animates his detached limbs using Green Day with the mold keeping him from losing too much blood. After he's launched his surprise attack, Green Day puts him back together no worse for wear. In the anime, he sews himself back together and Green Day's mold seems to fix his fractured bones, muscles, and blood vessels.
• The Hedonist: His life philosophy in a nutshell. Killing people and observing despair on those about to perish isn't even sufficient to him, he needs to record everything so he can watch it later as means of entertainment. And when he's not busy killing or torturing, he's living in excess.
• Hypocrite:
  • Calls Giorno "a sick bastard" (or "so mean" in the anime) for lying about sparing his life, just to buy enough time for the stag beetle to burst through his brain. This is quite a statement from a guy who tortured his patients for fun and sliced up Sorbet into 36 pieces while forcing his boyfriend Gelato to watch.
  • Giorno promises to let Cioccolata go if he doesn't move. Cioccolata proceeds to attack Mista instead and after Giorno turns the tables on him, Cioccolata is angry that Giorno broke a promise... that he himself already broke. Of course, Giorno had just revealed that he never intended to keep that promise even if Cioccolata HAD stayed still, but even so...
• I Know You Know I Know: Up to Level 3 against Giorno. Cioccolata pretends he's dead, but Giorno knows and is verbal about it. Cioccolata takes Mista hostage while Giorno is talking and believes that no matter if Giorno knew he was dead, he would still win. Giorno then reveals that he had an insurance plan for Cioccolata to stay down.
• Insane Troll Logic: Believes humanity grows stronger through curiosity. Fair enough, but he also believes curiosity amplifies as people die.
• "Instant Death" Radius: Cioccolata's Green Day is an unusual example of the trope is that the mold afflicts anything that is of a lower altitude than that of the Stand. Anything that is unable to ascend to a higher altitude in time, or fall below the altitude where they were first infected, will have their bodies consumed by the mold until they explode. To make matters worse, the mold can spread from its victims to others, which expands Green Day's killing range.
• Ironic Name: Cioccolata's name might mean "chocolate" in Italian, but needless to say; considering he's a truly sadistic and loathsome Mad Doctor and Serial Killer, he's anything but sweet in nature.
• Irony: When Cioccolata starts his rampage throughout Rome, one of the civilians runs towards a payphone with the intent of calling a doctor for a girl who had just succumbed to Green Day's mold. Little did he know that a doctor was already there... but with all the wrong intentions.
• Jerkass: Even though Cioccolata is a sadist and sociopath, anytime he is the center of attention he is a rude, egotistical, and unpleasant individual who only cares about his sadistic enjoyment.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: He was already a Serial Killer well before joining Passione, and got away with his crimes beyond being fired from his surgeon job, which was more a slap on the wrist than anything else once he joined Passione and had many more opportunities to torture and murder people. But eventually, Giorno puts a very brutal end to his lucky streak.
• Kick the Dog: Almost all of Part 5's villains have a purpose for their cruelty and many of Diavolo's most heinous actions are done to benefit him in some way beyond sadism. Cioccolata has killed dozens if not hundreds of people out of morbid curiosity and the sick pleasure he takes in watching people die. Even when he does reveal an ulterior motive (wanting to overthrow the Boss), he still does what he does for fun.
• Kill It with Fire: After having a stag beetle burst out of his brain and being beaten to a pulp by Gold Experience, he falls into a garbage truck with a sign on it that says it has burnable trash pickup on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
• Knight of Cerebus: Of all the minor antagonists in this part, Cioccolata is easily the darkest and most twisted. It's made abundantly clear that he is far too depraved for Passione's standards the moment Diavolo first mentions him and digs into every gruesome detail of his past as a sadistic surgeon. His mold-infested rampage throughout Rome is also a move that makes Prosciutto's massacre of a train full of civilians look tame in comparison, giving him the highest body count for a minor antagonist in the entire series.
• Lack of Empathy: Has no qualms about killing millions of people just because it amuses him. As seen during his mold-infested rampage throughout Rome, he enjoys all the destruction and chaos his Stand ability brings to innocent bystanders. He also feels no remorse for driving elderly patients to the point they killed themselves or practicing human experimentation on his patients.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Cioccolata's preaching of Social Darwinism ends up backfiring at him nicely, as he suffered a brutal, but completely deserved killing at Gold Experience's hands. Afterwards, Secco disowns him entirely, as his death ultimately proves his weakness.
• Laughably Evil: There's no denying that he's a genuinely depraved individual, but his hammy antics with Secco are certainly funny.
• Light Is Not Good: Aside from his signature white long coat and trousers, he's also shown wearing doctor's uniform in his backstory.
• Loves the Sound of Screaming: The sounds? He wants to see your face as you die recorded on tape to watch on a later date.
• Mad Artist: After chopping up Sorbet, he preserved the corpse's parts in 36 individual glass frames, a gruesome parody of an art installation by Damien Hirst.
• Mad Bomber: By the sheer nature of his explosive germinating Stand, and the fact he essentially uses the Boss' order to stop Bucciarati's gang as an excuse to go on a killing spree on Rome to just kill as many people as possible.
• Mad Doctor: Became a doctor specifically so he could torture and experiment on people.
• Made of Iron: Somehow manages to survive being dissected apart, shot in the head and having his brains turned inside out by a stag beetle bursting through his head and it's not until Giorno pummels him within an inch of his life and launches his mangled body into the garbage disposal truck when he finally dies.
• Mask of Sanity: Implied. Although the viewer only sees the absolute worst of him on screen, it is likely that he's capable of acting normal to weasel himself out of harm's way. He managed to gaslight 9 elders to suicide and get away with it, and after becoming a doctor he slaughtered up to 4 patients, only getting fired after he was caught in the act for malpractice, rather than ousted as a murderer. Also, Diavolo thought of him as a disgraced professional and only learned of his true nature after giving him the Stand.
• A Match Made in Stockholm: Thinks Secco was this to him, having become a loyal ally and toady after going under his knife originally. However, Secco doesn't actually care at all about Cioccolata as a person.
• Meaningful Name: Chocolate contains chemicals that make the brain happy, and Cioccolata is a depraved hedonist who cares for nothing besides his own pleasure, which he gets from torturing and killing people.
• Might Makes Right: Believes that the strong have a duty to rule the weak.
• Monster Clown: With his puffball Anime Hair, Guyliner, Facial Markings, and overall monstrous behavior, he looks like a deranged harlequin.
• More Despicable Minion: As terrible as Diavolo is, he only wants to kill those who he deems a threat to his power base. Cioccolata, on the other hand, is a disgusting mass-murdering lunatic who kills mostly for fun and to prove himself above humanity.
• Named by the Adaptation: Jorge Joestar gives him the first name Dolcio, meaning "sweet."
• Nightmare Fetishist: Cioccolata has an extremely morbid and sick sense of curiosity and experiencing the death and suffering of others gives him the feeling that he truly understands life itself.
• Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: With his Body Horror abilities, psychotic looks, and his depravity, Cioccolata's this all by himself.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Subjected to the longest one in the series as of yet, going for about seven pages/30 seconds in total (making it more than twice as long as the iconic Steely Dan beatdown), resulting in his death as bits of his flesh and body parts began flying off and he eventually landed in a garbage truck's compactor.
• Obviously Evil: Unlike most of the members of Passione, who fall under the category of invoked Fashion-Victim Villain and are good-looking enough to come out of a Vogue magazine, Cioccolata looks borderline hideous by comparison. While he looks average in terms of physique, his messy Monster Clown makeup and hair combined with a sick grin make Cioccolata look like a creepy psycho from the get-go. Not helped by the fact that his distinctive silhouette is first seen several episodes before a proper introduction slicing up Sorbet's body.
• Only Flesh Is Safe: An Inverted version, just to show how horrifying Green Day's mold is. It'll only manifest in anything that's alive, so Stands and Bucciarati's resurrected body are immune to its powers.
• Only Friend: Thinks of Secco as this, as he trusts him to find the man with the Macguffin in his place. He couldn't be more wrong with that assessment, assuming Secco was being truthful.
• Omnicidal Maniac: As Giorno notes during his killing sprees in the coastal village and Rome, Cioccolata would enjoy indiscriminately killing every person on the planet with his Stand if he were allowed to. It's implied Diavolo is all that keeps him in check, as his boss has no such insane interests, and Diavolo notes to Doppio that Cioccolata may need to be killed by Diavolo/Doppio personally if his homicidal desires make him too much of a liability.
• Person of Mass Destruction: His cataclysmic massacre of Rome by flesh-eating mold easily rivals DIO's rampage through Cairo in mayhem, brutality and sheer body-count. In fact, Cioccolata's rampage through Rome is the single longest battle in the entire Jojo franchise so far, lasting two whole volumes whereas Stardust Crusaders' final battle only lasted one collected volume.
• Personality Powers:
  • Giorno remarks that a Stand as capable of widespread and indiscriminate destruction as Green Day must have been born from a truly evil heart. Also, the mold's attack pattern and its similarity with the mold that grows within bugs reflects on how he views everyone else around him as insects that are beneath him; if they literally go lower than where they were on infection, they'll die shortly after.
  • Mold can be used for medical purposes, most notably the antibiotic found in penicillin, but it can also make one very ill. Just like Cioccolata, a doctor who knows how to heal, but would rather use his knowledge to inflict agony and commit mass slaughter.
• Playing Possum: Tries to do this after getting shot in the head in order to lure Giorno closer. Unfortunately for him, it doesn't work, as Giorno not only saw right through him but had a plan that would guarantee his death in the form of a stag beetle.
• Practically Joker: His psychotic behaviour, green hair, clownish appearance and unnervingly toxic and abusive relationship with his assistant all bring into mind the Joker.
• Psycho for Hire: He's the only member of Passione who seems to be in it purely because he enjoys watching people suffer and die, and is such a loose cannon that the Boss himself has to keep him at bay. Cioccolata is too strong for his organization to get rid of, but also far too dangerous to keep in close proximity, though Diavolo would've disposed of him and Secco personally without hesitation if they end up becoming too much of a liability, which he mentions to Doppio.
• Psycho Knife Nut: In the anime, he cut Sorbet into 34 pieces starting at his feet, alive, with an especially large and sharp blade. Also, his flashback in the anime shows that he was more than happy handling a scalpel for dissecting his patients with little to no anesthesia.
• Rasputinian Death: Shot in the head with a bullet that eventually turns into a stag beetle and busts back out, then given the longest beatdown in JoJo to date, before being launched off the rooftop of the tallest building in the area. He then lands in a garbage truck (the anime shows his limp body being crushed by the compactor), and the inscription on the back of it implies that his body will be burned in an incinerator.
• Sadist: Given his own profession, he delights in the pain and suffering he brings to other people. When Giorno nearly falls to his death, Cioccolata is utterly ecstatic.
  Cioccolata: Oh baby, I want more! Show me more! Let me see that pretty face drain of all hope! Oooh, I'm all tingly! You'd think I'd be used to it by now, but the sweet sight never gets old! Just be sure to cheat this way so I can get a good look before you go ahead and die! (laughs maniacally)
• Serial Killer: You did not want to end up at the hospital where he worked.
• Slasher Smile: When Giorno falls down, he unleashes an epic one while gloating about his logic. In general, he sports a twisted grin every time he murders or is about to murder someone.
• Snuff Film: Likes to film his murders so he can watch them later.
• The Social Darwinist: Believes that the strong should dominate the weak.
• The Sociopath: Cioccolata is obsessed with the suffering of others, asking Secco to film their victims' expressions as they lose hope in their final moments and die in agony. He is not above lying to manipulate people (for example, trying to trick Giorno into sparing him). And he does it all without any guilt or empathy towards those he tramples. He has always been a high-functioning sociopath, shown by him being able to give a relatively harmless impression of himself during a decades-long career in respectable medical professions, without anyone ever connecting him to the deaths of his patients or ever realizing just what kind of monster he was underneath.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: When first addressing Giorno, he speaks with a calm, almost gentle voice that doesn't disguise the fact that he's a deranged mass murderer.
• The Starscream: A phone call he makes to Secco that he receives posthumously implies that he planned to "exceed the Boss" in fighting capability. Notably, soon as he discovered that the group was after a secret to defeating the Boss, he ordered Secco to retrieve it rather than destroy it.
• Stuff Blowing Up: A nasty side effect of the mold — if it germinates fast enough, it causes the victim to explode.
• Superpower Lottery: Statistically, Green Day is one of the most powerful Stands in the franchise in terms of destructive power and has no real weaknesses. It ranks A on all statistics except its average speed and abysmal precision, a negligible flaw with Green Day practically existing to indiscriminately destroy all life within its radius. The fact its growth potential is also ranked A indicates the Stand could likely grow powerful enough to destroy the world if Cioccolata wasn't being restrained by his boss. Besides its killing power, the mold produced by Green Day can be used by a skilled surgeon like Cioccolata for immediate self-surgery or manipulated for further surprise attacks, making it quite a versatile Stand as well.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: A violent yet intelligent enemy who earns a deep personal revulsion from the protagonists, possessing a powerful, hard-to-control flesh-eating Stand, faced nearly right before the final showdown with the Boss... Seems like Araki couldn't quite let go of all of his ideas for Fugo's scrapped betrayal.
• Teens Are Monsters: Was only fourteen when he voluntarily attended elderly care in order to drive vulnerable people to suicide and film their expressions on camera.
• Terms of Endangerment: He calls Giorno "my dear boy" while trying to throw him to his death from a helicopter flying high above Rome.
• There's No Kill like Overkill: Shot in the head, had his brains half-eaten by a beetle, and beaten to a pulp by Giorno before being tossed into a garbage disposal truck which has burnable trash pickup three days of the week.
• Torture Technician: His part-time duty in Passione. He makes a very gruesome example of Gelato and Sorbet for violating the Boss' privacy.
• The Unfettered: What makes him dangerous is that he has no pragmatic or ethical restraints like most villainous Stand Users to hold him back from unleashing the full power of his Stand. Giorno observes that even among the cold-blooded assassins that make up Passione, most have reservations against the random slaughter of civilians which limits the lethality of their Stands. Cioccolata has no such reservations, and even delights in the mass murder that is a side effect of trying to kill the protagonists, making no effort at all to avoid gassing civilians.
• The Un-Smile: He doesn't really "smile" so much as he bares his teeth in a piranha-like manner while the edges of his lips curve ever-so-slightly upward.
• Viler New Villain: He is the nastiest piece of work among the Boss' elite squad and the whole organization as well. Unlike most of them who are either anti-villains or have redeeming/honorable traits, none of this applies to Cioccolata whose in it for the killing and torture. He even willingly unleashes his Stand above Rome despite causing the deaths of multiple Passione members and killing hundreds of civilians in the process.
• Villain in a White Suit: He's a high-ranking enforcer in Diavolo's mafia and he wears a white trenchcoat that look like a hybrid of a doctor's lab coat and a priest's robes, highlighting both his former occupation and delusions of grandeur.
• Villainous Friendship: Cioccolata and Secco work as a team, with both killing people as Secco films their deaths and expressions for Cioccolata's pleasure, although the relationship is closer to a pet-and-master relationship. Upon Cioccolata's death, however, Secco admits that he never liked him. However, in the anime, Secco's voice audibly breaks as he says this, so he might have been lying.
• Villains Want Mercy: In the anime, as he's being beaten to death by Giorno, he can be heard pleading for him to stop just before he's sent flying into a garbage truck.
• Villain with Good Publicity: When he was a teenager, he volunteered to take care of the elderly at a care home, which was considered so noble that the mayor gave him a commendation for it. Actually, he was only working there so he could enjoy abusing his patients and driving them to suicide by telling them their families hated them.
• Would Harm a Senior: At age 14, he worked at a care home so he could gaslight his elderly patients and tell them their families hated them. Nine of them ended up committing suicide.
• Would Hurt a Child: During Cioccolata's mold infestation rampage in Rome, one of the many on-screen victims is a little girl, which demonstrates perfectly that he simply doesn't care who dies as long as he gets to see it. He also expresses sadistic glee at seeing Narancia's panicked expression while getting eaten by Green Day's mold, and exclaims, "I can't wait to see guys like him die!"
• Wrong Genre Savvy: He believed Giorno would let him go, and tried to kill Mista once he lets his guard down. It might have worked for a previous protagonist like Jonathan, but Giorno is a completely different case. Cioccolata proceeds to get beaten into a bloody pulp for his troubles.
• You Said You Would Let Them Go: To Giorno's I Lied. When Cioccolata is shocked at Giorno for lying to him, Giorno notes that being spared is something too good to be true for the likes of him.

Secco

Secco (Stand: Oasis)

Voiced by: KENN (TV anime, JP and All-Star Battle R), Erik Kimerer (TV anime, EN), Hiro Shimono (All-Star Battle), Takayasu Usui (Vento Aureo video game)

"Aren't you supposed to be some kinda genius? With perfect throwing arms full of yummy sugar cubes and crazy, fat load of cash?! On top of that, you're super strong! At least, I thought you were! It's the only reason why I've been bothering to listen to you this entire time!"

Secco is an obedient servant of Cioccolata that shares his viewpoint on suffering. He's the one who records Cioccolata's tapes and acts an awful lot like his dog.

His Stand, Oasis (named after Oasis), is a wearable suit that allows Secco to turn solid ground into mud at will and travel through it for the price of removing his vision as he does so. Despite it turning concrete into mud, it also prevents Secco from being hit by projectiles while he's underground.

---

• 24-Hour Armor: Secco is always shown with his Stand Oasis on and is never seen in normal clothes. It's not made clear like his only contemporary Ghiaccio if he's wearing anything underneath or if non-Stand users would be subjected to a Full-Frontal Assault. At the least, he doesn't seem to be wearing anything on his top half, since part of his chest can be seen through the gaps in the bodysuit (but then again, with Passione's unique taste in fashion, who knows). It's also implied that it gives him a degree of protection from his master's Stand, Green Day.
• Achievements in Ignorance: Unknowingly, he takes Diavolo himself (or rather his alter-ego) hostage. In fact, he was just about to melt him alive before Bruno intervened.
• Adaptational Early Appearance: In episode 10 of the Golden Wind anime, he appears with Cioccolata in the flashback of La Squadra when Sorbet is getting sliced up. Despite being a shadow silhouette, the fact that Cioccolata is in the scene and that there's a figure who appears to be filming the gruesome death (along with the fact the figure looks to be wearing a skin-tight suit, which is how Secco's Stand manifests), it's a dead ringer for Secco.
• Adaptational Villainy: In the anime, he is confirmed to have participated in the torture/murder of Sorbet and Gelato, filming while his master Cioccolata did the dirty work.
• Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: His Stand, Oasis, is a bodysuit that appears to be held together in places by stitches. Fittingly, he's the assistant of a Mad Doctor who loves to slash and slice people up. On the other hand, it resembles a wetsuit, worn by swimmers and surfers to provide thermal protection when wet, which is fitting since his Stand and powerset involve swimming through solid ground like water.
• Battle Couple: Subverted; after Golden Wind gave many strong examples of this general trope, like Pesci and Prosciutto and Squalo and Tizano, Cioccolata's farewell voice message to Secco sets him up for another Avenging the Villain moment like the others... except he says he really doesn't care about Cioccolata himself, only sticking around him for the benefits. Assuming he was telling the truth, that is.
• Broken Pedestal: If one is to not believe the interpretation that Secco was merely mooching off of Cioccolata, this appears to be why he lashes out at Cioccolata after his defeat. Secco admits out loud right by Bucciarati that he thought Cioccolata had immeasurable strength to his name and was happy to follow him for that fact alone, but his defeat at the hands of Giorno and Mista ended up making Secco believe otherwise.
• The Brute: One of the Boss' last subordinates and with enough fighting strength to physically overwhelm Bucciarati, but not much brainpower to back it up (Or so you would think).
• Clothes Make the Superman: Alongside Ghiaccio (and Rubber Soul when he uses his Stand as armor), he's one of two Stand users whose Stands take the form of full-body suits.
• Creepy High-Pitched Voice: His voice is a shaky tenor that really drives home how unhinged he is.
• Dirty Coward: When he's finally cornered, he uses Doppio as a hostage in order to get Bucciarati to back off and even gives up attempting to overthrow the Boss in favor of staying the safety of Passione's protection.
• Dishing Out Dirt: His Stand lets him liquefy solid ground into elastic-like mud, so long as he's touching it in some way. His main way of weaponizing this is by flinging it around, usually by getting a mouthful of said "mud" and spitting it out. This mud resolidifies into its previous form after this, resulting in high-velocity spears of rock and stone now raining from the sky.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Sanctuary" in official English translations— possibly referencing either the song by The J. Geils Band or the song by Joji.
• Ear Ache: In the climax of their fight Bucciarati blows up a car's tire, which was sucked into the earth thanks to an earlier attack by Oasis, and the blast reverberates through the liquid-like concrete and blows out Secco's eardrums entirely, disabling him and winning Bucciarati the fight.
• Early-Bird Cameo: In the anime, during Formaggio's flashback, he's briefly seen filming Cioccolata's brutal execution of Sorbet and Gelato's suicide.
• Edible Theme Naming: His name may be derived from prosecco, an Italian white wine.
• Evil Counterpart: To Bucciarati, ability wise. Both can go through solid matter with no trouble at all.
  • Personality-wise, he’s this to Narancia. Both are the most Hot-Blooded of their allies and are led by someone. Narancia, for his faults, is a genuine friend and ally towards Team Bucciarati while Secco doesn’t care for Cioccolata.
• The Faceless: Inverted. Secco's face and a bit of his chest is all we get to see of him; everything else is covered up by Oasis, which he wears 24/7.
• Faux Affably Evil: Just like Cioccolata, he can somewhat put on a mask of sanity, but it won't take long before that mask is shattered.
• Feigning Intelligence: After Cioccolata's defeat, Secco reveals his true colors, being not as broken and animalistic as he initially appeared, but a snide and cunning psycho. However, he overestimates his intelligence, believing his potent abilities and tracking capabilities would automatically make him a strategic genius, when it in actuality, he's merely cunning in using his powers to get ahead and doesn't have the capability of truly planning ahead, with his ego denying this reality. This is best shown when Bucciarati blasts out his eardrums and secures his victory, Secco's ego causes him to assume he's "figured out" Bucciarati's plan to destroy his eardrums anticipating he's about to pull it off when it in reality it was after it already happened and that he is totally going to stop it now by countering it, unwilling to believe that he already has been defeated so soundly.
• Gonk: Proportionally he looks like a rather average person, but his wide mouth, crazed expressions and Overly-Long Tongue make him look like a demented murderous frog-man.
• Hate Sink: While perhaps not as bad as Cioccolata, Secco still definitely falls into this. While after hearing that he was Cioccolata's patient, you might think he was just a victim of the former working with him out of Stockholm Syndrome, nothing could be further from the truth. He commits horrible murders with Cioccolata completely out of his own free will and fully ascribes to Cioccolata's Social Darwinist ideology. The only reason he ultimately turns on his "master" is because Cioccolata proved "weak," not out of any sort of moral standards. He's also a total narcissist, while not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
• Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: His fate in a nutshell. With his hand stuck to his neck by Sticky Fingers he has two options; let his power melt his throat for a slow death, or pull the hand away and just tear his own throat out for a quick death.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Had he not started gloating and instead kept going all out while fighting Bucciarati and if he had not accidentally dragged a car underground, he wouldn't have given Bucciarati an opportunity to turn the fight around; later on, Bucciarati also uses Oasis' ability to melt flesh against him by securing his own hand to his throat, sealing his fate.
• Human Pet: He acts like Cioccolata's loyal dog, even being fed treats by him. It's an act to leech off the mad doctor.
• I'm Melting!: His ability to turn solid ground into mud also applies to people, which also includes himself to his detriment.
• Improbable Weapon User: When he isn't dragging Green Day's victims down to get the mold to germinate, he will spit mud at his foe. Here's the problem for his opponent, though — it's only mud when it's within Oasis, the relevant sub-area in this case being Secco's mouth. Once it's fully spit out, it turns back into rock. High-velocity spears of rock.
• Jerkass: Just as big of an ass as his master. He is loud, obnoxious, foul-mouthed and completely indifferent to the innocent lives Cioccolata kills for the sake of his own amusement. His "friendship" with Cioccolata was also just a facade for leeching off of his wealth.
• Just Here for the Free Snacks: He says he only joined Cioccolata for the treats, wealth, and participation in the slaughter after the latter dies.
• Kiai: "OAAAAAAAAAAASIS!!" / "SAAANCTUUUARY!!"
• Know-Nothing Know-It-All: While initially seeming to be an animalistic, simple-minded individual with a somewhat darkly endearing relationship with Ciocolatta. In reality, while he's not nearly as broken and mindless as he let on, in spite of his pretenses otherwise, Secco is foul-mouthed, obnoxious and isn't nearly as a sophisticated word smith or tactical strategist as he believes himself to be.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: Once Ciocolata dies, he shows he is much more dangerous and intelligent than he initially appeared.
• Lightning Bruiser: As Bucciarati notes, Secco is shockingly fast and strong enough to overpower Sticky Fingers in a one-on-one fight and can even increase his speed by bouncing his punches off the pavement with Oasis.
• Logical Weakness: Oasis turns stone and soil into water in Secco's vicinity, with all the properties it entails so Bucciarati popping a tire underground is far louder due to water transmitting sound better than air or soil, rupturing Secco's eardrums.
• Mad Eye: His eyes are constantly bugging out.
• A Match Made in Stockholm: Secco was originally one of Cioccolata's patients, and now he's his loyal sidekick. Subverted when Secco turns against Cioccolata once the mad doctor dies.
• Meaningful Name: Secco means both "dry" and "slim" or "skinny", in Italian. He is quite skinny, and his Stand allows him to turn the "dry" soil into a more malleable (and swimmable) substance.
• Mysterious Past: He was once one of Cioccolata's patients, but that's all the information the Boss was able to dig up from his past.
• Obfuscating Insanity: A downplayed version. The Human Pet schtick is partially a ruse to stay on Cioccolata's good side, but he's still a nut once he learns the latter has died.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: It was just so he could easily tag along with Cioccolata. Once Cioccolata dies and Secco finds he wasn't as strong as he thought, he discards his act of being mindlessly animalistic and reveals himself to be much more cunning and slightly more stable than he let on.
• Opportunistic Bastard: Cioccolata is nothing but means to an end to him. As soon as he's killed, he abandons his master's plan to betray the Boss, noting that remaining loyal to Diavolo would be more beneficial for him.
• Overly-Long Tongue: No real attention is called to it outside of his bizarre facial expressions, but his tongue is disturbingly long.
• Psychopathic Manchild: He goes into a crying fit over Bucciarati drawing blood on his face, despite otherwise being unharmed.
• Recurring Element: Both he and Ghiaccio. Both are the last of the Villain of the Week group fought in the respective arc before an encounter with Diavolo, and they both have a suit that operates with an element of nature as their Stand — ice for Ghiaccio and earth for Secco. Both are also rather dangerous foes, with Ghiaccio almost killing Mista in his battle, and Bucciarati having to end up destroying his eardrums (he didn't need his anyways) to cripple Secco.
• Riddle for the Ages: Secco never removes Oasis from his body, so we don't get to see what he looks like without it. Even in flashback when he doesn't have his Stand, his hair and face are covered by a surgical cap and medical mask.
• Sand Is Water: Stone is water in his case. His Stand power other than manifesting as armor.
• Scary Teeth: He has weird and crooked teeth that look very unpleasant.
• Self-Disposing Villain: He threatens to melt Doppio after he's taken him hostage, but Bucciarati punches his arm and he ends up using his melting powers on his throat. He then promptly trips into a garbage truck, coincidentally the same one Cioccolata's mangled corpse is in.
• Shoot the Hostage Taker: When he attempts to use Doppio, unbeknownst to him the Split Personality of the Boss, as a Human Shield to ward Bucciarati from attacking him, the latter uses his powers to blast through him and sew his wrists to his throat, causing him to slowly melt to death by his own power.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Easily one of the most foul-mouthed members of Passione.
• Small Role, Big Impact: Secco isn't around for too long and mostly exists to slow the heroes down alongside Cioccolata, but his fight with Bucciarati damages the capo so badly that his body begins to shut down, allowing for Diavolo to use him to get close enough to Polnareff and kick off the final battle.
• Smarter Than You Look: He's quick enough to notice Bucciarati's immunity to Cioccolata's mold despite having dropped to a lower altitude, and then immediately questions whether if it would have any effect on Notorious B.I.G if it was alive or not.
  • Additionally, his personality once Cioccolata dies, reveals itself to be less animalistic than he let on and is actually very cunning with his powers, but not to the extent he thinks he is.
• Smug Snake: Once he reveals he was faking his animalistic personality, he reveals himself to be a very cunning fighter able to use his power in a variety of ways who believes himself to be much smarter than he actually is. Notably, he believed he's figured out Bucciarati's plan to disable him in order to counter it when in reality, he only figured it out after the plan had commenced.
• Social Darwinist: Secco reveals himself to be this in the Oasis half of the Green Day and Oasis fight after Cioccolata dies. Secco was perfectly happy to act subservient to Cioccolata because he was strong and smart, but the second he loses, Secco tosses him aside and considers him a loser.
• Speak Ill of the Dead: Once Cioccolata dies first, Secco's reaction is to callously mock his former associate for being weak. This is in spite of Cioccolata giving him sweets and treating him much better than he would anyone else in the organization.
• Speech Impediment: In the anime, he speaks with a slight stutter.
• Spiteful Spit: When he finds out his master Cioccolata has been killed, he starts furiously ranting about how weak the doctor is and spits on the camera he was using to record the murders from Green Day.
• The Spook: Nothing about his identity is known. Nobody in Passione (even the Boss) has any idea where he came from, only that he ended up on Cioccolata's table at one point and somehow hit it off with the mad doctor well enough that he made Secco his subordinate. Even his appearance is unknown, as nearly his entire body is covered up by Oasis.
• The Starscream: Zig-Zagged. Though he's revealed to be disdainful of Cioccolata and feigned his loyalty, he only does that when he discovered Cioccolata was dead and up till then was fine serving under him as he believed Cioccolata was powerful. It's played straighter when he continues his pursuit of the Boss' weakness as Secco explicitly states his intentions to use it to overthrow him.
• Super Spit: Even if he's spitting concrete at his opponents, it really shouldn't be as lethal as it would normally be. He's also ridiculously precise with his ability to spit, being able to deflect Mista's bullets at point-blank range and shoot at a sugar cube several feet in the air to disrupt its trajectory and catch it.
• Support Party Member: While Oasis is capable of combat itself, Secco's main role is to use Oasis to sink enemies into the ground, in order to increase the effectiveness of Cioccolata's Green Day which functions on altitude.
• Sweet Tooth: He loves sugar cubes, which Cioccolata uses to treat him for doing a good job.
• Sycophantic Servant: An idolizing, almost pet-like sidekick to Cioccolata. It's an act to be able to enjoy watching Cioccolata's depravity firsthand, along with getting a cut of the profits.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Secco loves sugar cubes. Cioccolata keeps a box of them on him to treat Secco whenever he feels he deserves it.
• Together in Death: Secco stumbles into and dies in the same garbage truck Cioccolata's corpse is in.
• Undignified Death: Bucciarati uses Sticky Fingers to zipper his hand to his neck, causing it to melt into mud. He then stumbles into the road trying to find a way to escape and trips into the same garbage truck Cioccolata fell into, spending his last few moments of life gurgling Cioccolata's name as he, presumably, bleeds out and/or is crushed to death by the truck's trash compactor with little fanfare.
• Ungrateful Bastard: Despite Cioccolata having treated him with candy, money, and overall better treatment than anyone else in Passione would give him, Secco says he couldn't care less if he was felled. Of course, Secco was also one of Cioccolata's previous victims that he grew attached to, so he's justified in not caring about the mad doctor's fate.
• The Unreveal: We never get to see what Secco looks like without his Stand on, since he never takes it off.
• Vague Age: While Secco is at least an adult, his entire face and body being covered makes it difficult to tell how old he is.
• Villainous Breakdown: He completely loses it after Bucciarati popped his eardrums, trying to delude himself that he didn't fall for the ploy, still has working ears, and will totally stop this from happening any second now.
• Yes-Man: To Cioccolata. It's only to be able to participate in the slaughter, not out of prior emotional attachment. And for the money and sugar cubes.

"The hell is this? A family photo? I know you're holding out on me, so fork over the cash right now, blondie!"

Technically the first enemy Giorno meets, Luca tries to mug the protagonist. Quickly dies due to Gold Experience, but his defeat is what calls Bucciarati over to investigate Giorno. Technically, he didn't really "die" from Gold Experience — he actually dies when the Boss ruthlessly orders him to be dismantled and have his body parts used for scare tactics on Giorno.

---

• Asshole Victim: He's a nasty piece of work, so his grisly fate on the Boss' order was pretty well-deserved.
• Bad People Abuse Animals: He uses his shovel to smash a frog created by Gold Experience. Unfortunately for him, all damage dealt to Gold Experience's lifeforms reflects back onto whoever dealt it, resulting in Luca knocking himself out.
• Bait the Dog: The anime adds in an introductory scene where he gives his Establishing Character Moment. After threatening to beat up a taxi driver for not paying him his fees, the driver tells him he's trying to support his family. Without the context, it appears he's shedding a tear for him, only to immediately get enraged and hit him with his shovel. Even after hearing from him about Giorno doing the same thing he was, he wasn't finished yet.
• The Cameo: In the anime adaptation of Stone Ocean, during the opening, his shovel appears for a split second in the montage of objects from past parts.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: He's the only member of Passione other than Pericolo who doesn't have a Stand or seem to know about the existence of Stands, which seems to go against Polpo's entry test. It's possible he is intended to be a low level enforcer who doesn't need to know about Stands, but no members like that in Passione are shown for comparison.
• Evil Sounds Deep: He has a low, imposing voice.
• Eye Scream: The origin of his nickname. Luca got stabbed in the face before the series began, and though the wound did heal, it damaged his right eye in such a way that it's always shedding a tear.
• Faux Affably Evil: He seems to be a reasonable person with how he talks friendship, but he hides a lot of jackassery.
• Hidden Disdain Reveal: In the Sleeping Slaves prologue-of-an-epilogue, Narancia states upon receiving news of Luca's death that he always hated him. While Bucciarati tells him not to say such things out loud in the gangsters' world, it can be easily assumed that he shared the same feelings, as Luca sold drugs to children.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Attacks a frog created by Gold Experience with a shovel, causing him to cave in his own skull when the attack is reflected back at him.
• Jerkass: When a frog jumps on Giorno (created by his Stand, but Luca doesn't know that), he orders Giorno to step on it for no reason other than to be an asshole, and then tries to kill it himself (this backfires horribly). It's also revealed later on that he sold drugs to children.
• Mugging the Monster: To be fair, he had no idea what he was getting into when he attempted to mug Giorno. And he doesn't even have a Stand.
• Muggle: One of the few members of Passione to not have a Stand.
• Named After the Injury: Is named after his right eye, which constantly leaks due to an injury.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: His name and injured eye suggest he's based on the 30s Sicilian-American gangster "Lucky" Luciano.
• Red Right Hand: His right eye constantly tears up because of an eye injury in the past.
• Shovel Strike: His weapon of choice when confronting Giorno, which has the letters SPQR (Senatus populusque Romanus) emblazoned on it.
• Slain in Their Sleep: Sometime after Gold Experience's attack rendered him comatose, the Boss has him killed so that his body parts can be used to intimidate Giorno.
• Small Role, Big Impact: He dies in the very same chapter he's introduced, but it's because of his death that Bucciarati tracks down Giorno to get the identity of his murderer out of him. His body is also torn apart on the Boss' order, which is the very first hint that the Boss is a fan of unnecessary cruelty.
• Smarter Than You Look: Implied — he seems like just another low-life thug, but his membership in Passione despite his lack of a Stand implies that he was able to pass Polpo's test by somehow keeping the lighter lit for 24 hours.
• Who Murdered the Asshole: According to Bucciarati, Luca's unpleasantness made him many enemies that would have wanted him dead.
• Zero-Effort Boss: Giorno didn't need to lift a finger to beat him. In fact, he ends up knocking himself out by accident.

Mario Zucchero

Mario Zucchero (Stand: Soft Machine)

Voiced by: Shinya Takahashi (TV anime, JP), Aleks Le (TV anime, EN), Ryuzou Ishino (Vento Aureo video game)

^{Soft Machine}

A greedy member of Passione who attacks Bucciarati's gang while they are on their ship. He actually manages to catch everyone but Bucciarati, but is stopped through the abilities of Moody Blues and Sticky Fingers.

His Stand, Soft Machine (named after Soft Machine), can literally deflate objects or people by stabbing them, reducing them to paper-thin husks. It also gives Zucchero the ability to deflate himself.

---

• Adaptation Dye-Job: The colored manga gives him silver hair, while the anime gives him lime green hair.
• Anime Hair: It looks like the inside of a snail shell.
• Boring, but Practical: Soft Machine's ability to deflate its user as well as anything it punctures isn't very visually impressive, but it makes the Stand perfectly suited to infiltration and assassination.
• Brains and Brawn: The Brawn to Sale's Brains.
• Close-Range Combatant: While Soft Machine's deflation power is devastating — one poke and you're not fighting anymore, and very much at Zucchero's mercy — it has terrible range. This is why Zucchero takes pains to first corner enemies in a narrow space, so they won't have time to dodge the stabs.
• Cold-Blooded Torture: Suffers this at the hands of Giorno's group after his defeat. It involves a fishhook, glasses, and getting sectioned by Sticky Fingers. He was also then left on the boat after his partner's defeat.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Zucchero isn't exactly Book Smart, but he still managed to pose a significant threat to Bucciarati and his team, picking off five out of the six members one by one all by himself and deliberately leaving the leader for last, so that he could interrogate him about the location of Polpo's treasure while using his men as hostages.
• Death by Adaptation: He and Sale return in Purple Haze Feedback, tasked by Giorno to accompany Fugo in infiltrating the Narcotics Division's warehouse. However, following Sale's death at the hands of Vittorio Cataldi, Zucchero is kidnapped by the Narcotics Division and gets brutally interrogated by their leader, Massimo Volpe. Once Massimo is done using him, he uses Manic Depression to increase Zucchero's blood pressure, causing his body to gradually inflate until his bones turn to dust and kill him.
• Devious Daggers: His Stand, Soft Machine, wields a strange knife that looks like either a very short rapier or an oversized thumbtack, and which has the ability to deflate whatever it stabs. Using this ability, Zucchero deflates his own body and pulls off a clever trick to sneak around a boat^note by deflating another boat of the same model and overlaying it over the other, he was able to move his flattened body between the two layers and hide his victims there, incapacitating and abducting the heroes one by one before Bucciarati finally figures it out and manages to defeat him.
• The Ditz: He's fairly air-headed and careless, having short-sighted dreams and being seemingly unable to focus on several things at once (see Drives Like Crazy below). Don't underestimate him in a fight, though.
• Driver Faces Passenger: Played for Laughs during his conversation with Sale about Polpo's death and supposed money where he does this for extended periods of time, to Sale's dismay.
• Drives Like Crazy: Zucchero can drive just fine, but he doesn't keep an eye on the damn road when he's in a conversation (one of the most mundane yet idiotic mistakes a driver can make), meaning Sale has to tell him when he's drifting into other lanes or about to hit a red light. He also leaves the car while it's in motion mid-conversation.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Tender Machine" in official English translations.
• Dumb Muscle: His Stand power makes his a formidable foe, but he doesn't have much going on upstairs. While his strategy of using Soft Machine to overlay one boat with another to give himself effectively infinite points of ambush was inspired, he still abandoned his partner mid-conversation in a car he was driving and thought that Bucciarati, a hardened mafioso, would be unable to act if his teams lives were threatened.
• Edible Theme Naming: "Zucchero" is sugar.
• Evil Duo: The self-indulgent, brutish Id to Sale's cold, ambitious Superego.
• Eye Scream: As part of his torture, he gets his eyelid held open by a fishhook and has his right eye burned by the sun magnifying light into his sclera. Mista threatens to burn his other eye in the same way if he doesn't cooperate.
• Faux Affably Evil: His politeness oozes with nothing more than sarcasm.
• I Have Your Wife: He tries to get Bucciarati to reveal the location of Polpo's money by taking his men hostage and threatening to kill them if he doesn't cooperate. It doesn't go well.
• The Hedonist: His plan for Polpo's 5 billion? Blowing it all on expensive trips to Monaco or Japan and women.
• Improbable Weapon User: Soft Machine wields a strange weapon that can be interpreted as either a very short rapier or an oversized thumbtack (which would be fitting with its ability to deflate its victims like a thumbtack can deflate a balloon).
• Losing Your Head: After he's defeated, Bucciarati uses Sticky Fingers to unzip his neck, effectively separating his head from his body while keeping him alive. The head is then subjected to a Cool and Unusual Punishment.
• Odd Name Out: One of only three antagonists ^note the others being Vinegar Doppio and Risotto Nero in Golden Wind to be given a full name. This is especially odd, considering he was only a minor antagonist, while the other two are the underboss of Passione and the leader of La Squadra, respectively.
• One-Steve Limit: Averted, he shares his first name (Mario) with the father of Caesar Zeppeli / son of Will Zeppeli featured in Part 2.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The hot-blooded, impulsive, hedonistic Red to Sale's exasperated, cautious, cunning Blue.
• Sir Swearsalot: Zucchero's language as he faces Bucciarati is... colorful, even by Part 5 standards.
• Smug Snake: He's really full of himself, taunting and insulting Bucciarati who he completely underestimates, before suffering a humiliating defeat at his hands.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: He slowly picks off each of Bucciarati's team one by one in surprise ambushes and uses them as hostages when the chips are down and Bucciarati has removed his means of obscuring himself. If this had been any of the previous parts, his threat might have held weight, but Bucciarati's a hardened gangster who isn't the type to falter under that kind of pressure.

Sale

Sale (Stand: Kraft Work)

Voiced by: Kaito Ishikawa (TV anime, JP), Alejandro Saab (TV anime, EN), Hidenobu Kiuchi (Vento Aureo video game)

^{Kraft Work}

Zucchero's partner, he attacked the gang when they arrived at Capri Island.

His Stand, Kraft Work (named after Kraftwerk), can remove the kinetic energy from objects, locking them in place. Stopped objects can then accumulate kinetic energy, shooting out with built-up speed once Sale releases his ability.

---

• Adaptation Dye-Job: His eyes are blue in the manga, instead of the magenta of the anime version.
• Ambition Is Evil: He and Mario discuss their plans for Polpo's treasure, and while Mario thinks of all the things he can spend the money on, Sale simply states he'll give it to the gang to Rank Up, stating that's where the real wealth and power will be.
• Anime Hair: From the front, Sale's hair looks more like a big, orange spider is just residing on his scalp, with the way that multiple locks droop over the sides of his head.
• Attack Reflector: One of the truly scary things he can do with guns is, once Kraft Work's stilled the bullets, tap the bullet with his own finger to add potential kinetic energy. Once enough is stored, Sale can release the bullet, back toward the poor sap who shot at Sale.
• Boom, Headshot!: On the receiving end of this on two occasions. Only the second one does him in (momentarily).
• Brains and Brawn: The Brains to Zucchero's Brawn.
• Chewing the Scenery: His dub actor is clearly having the time of his life voicing him.
• Deadpan Snarker: A good amount of his fight is spent with him snarking at Mista.
  Sale: (after pointing out that Mista is out of bullets) I have nothing to worry about if I get close enough to beat the shit out of you, do I?!
• Death by Adaptation: He and Zucchero return in Purple Haze Feedback, tasked by Giorno to accompany Fugo in infiltrating the Narcotics Division's warehouse. However, when they're confronted by Vittorio Cataldi and Angelica Attanasio, Sale is put into a trance by Angelica's Night Bird Flying, and while he manages to get a hit in on Vittorio, he then uses Dolly Dagger to reflect the damage back at him, killing Sale instantly.
• Determinator: He really wants those ten billion, and proves to be incredibly stubborn and resilient during his fight with Mista. Even getting shot multiple times (including in the head, neck and inside the mouth) and thrown off a moving truck doesn't get him to back down.
• Didn't See That Coming: Mista admitting that he only had one bullet left, then seemingly wasting it on a useless shot at Sale, was enough to briefly direct his attention away from the bullet he was loading up with kinetic energy, which resulted in the Sex Pistols sneaking up on Sale and sending the bullet back to him as soon as he shot it, hitting him in the head point-blank and knocking him out.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Arts and Crafts" in official English translations.
• Edible Theme Naming: To complement Zucchero's sugar, "Sale" is Italian for salt.
• Evil Duo: The cold, ambitious Superego to Zucchero's self-indulgent, brutish Id.
• Evil Redhead: He's a ginger, and a Passione member who has no qualms about killing anyone who gets in his way.
• The Faceless: Sale is the first of many Passione members introduced with only a full body featureless silhouette in order to add some mystery to him. The anime downplays this, making him completely visible for his debut scene barring his Hidden Eyes.
• Fatal Flaw: His arrogance and tunnel vision. He thinks his Stand is invincible and gets a little too comfortable once he thinks he has the definite upper hand on his opponent, a fact Mista exploits to trick him into letting his guard down and defeat him.
• Faux Affably Evil: Just like his partner, his politeness is blatant sarcasm and condescension.
• Fiery Redhead: A ginger with a nasty temper and endless determination.
• Floating Platforms: Via Frozen Foe Platform: Kraft Work's ability to stop things allows for turning individual pieces of gravel into makeshift platforms.
• Frozen Foe Platform: Kraft Work has the power to freeze small objects in position relative to other objects. One of his many uses for this power is to throw a handful of gravel and freeze it in midair, creating a 'ladder' of Floating Platforms that allow him to climb a sheer cliff face.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Tries to use one of Mista's bullets against him once Mista runs out of ammo. But doesn't see Sex Pistol on his hand till it's too late. By that point, he's released the bullet and Sex Pistol kick it back at him. He tries to block it but the bullet splits and one of the pieces flies into a bullet wound that Mista managed to make earlier. Pushing a previous bullet that he barely stopped further into his head which takes him out.
• Impromptu Tracheotomy: Mista shoots him in the neck during their fight. It doesn't deter him.
• Lean and Mean: Sale is particularly thin and wiry even by Part 5 standards, and he's aggressive, cocky and condescending.
• Logical Weakness: As Mista points out, the bullets Sale gets shot with stay affixed to his skin, and can be pushed further into his body when applied proper strength. This is especially dangerous if said bullets are located in a sensitive area like the neck or head.
• Long-Range Fighter: Zigzagged. Despite his Stand being short-range, Sale himself seems to prefer avoiding getting close to his enemies unless he's certain they can't harm him, instead using Kraft Work's kinetic abilities to attack from a distance or immobilize his opponent.
• Made of Iron: Even getting a bullet inside his brain doesn't kill him!
• Major Injury Underreaction: Justified since his Stand can turn would-be fatal injuries into survivable ones, but there's still something bizarre about seeing a guy who was just shot in vital places react by groaning "Ow", insulting Mista for shooting him again, then resuming what he was doing.
• Meaningful Name: His name is the Italian word for "salt".
  • Salt is used as a preservative; Sale's Stand can "preserve" anything it touches by keeping it in a frozen position.
  • Sale's greed and ambition might be a nod to the historical connection of salt to money and currency.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: As far as he's concerned, he's this because his Stand can alter the velocity of anything it touches so that it stands still with respect to him. This includes bullets and, unfortunately, Mista uses them.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The exasperated, cautious, cunning Blue to Zucchero's hot-blooded, impulsive, hedonistic Red.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Downplayed. He's a self-admitted small-time thug among Passione's ranks (though he dreams of making it big), but he seems to regard others (including his partner Zucchero) as beneath him, and while he is a skilled Stand user, he's nowhere near as invincible as he makes himself out to be.
• Smug Snake: His gloating and trashtalking end up leading to his demise during a fight he was actually winning.
• Stepping Stones in the Sky: He does this with a couple of rocks that were falling, removing their kinetic energy and leaving them fixed in the air for him to hop across.
• The Stoic: Subverted. He maintains an air of rigid discipline and seriousness around Zucchero, but as soon as his partner gets captured and he starts fighting solo...
• Symbol Motif Clothing: His wristbands and pants have green stars on them.
• Twisted Ankle: Mista shoots him in the leg as he's running away, forcing him to take refuge on top of a truck.

Giorno's Mother

Giorno's Mother

Voiced by: Mariko Higashiuchi (TV anime, JP), Jade Dennis (TV anime, EN)

A Japanese woman that had a one-night stand with DIO and then went to live in Italy, where she married a local man. She was quite distant and neglectful to Giorno.

---

• Abusive Parents: She was a distant parent to Giorno and barely cared about him. According to Over Heaven, DIO chose women with black hearts to reproduce since they were the complete opposite of his mother, and he thought the offspring would be strong-willed.
• Beauty Is Bad: The narration comments that she was beautiful, but far from an ideal mother.
• Everyone Has Standards: Implied. Her husband only abused Giorno when she wasn't looking, implying she wouldn't stand for that at the very least.
• Hard-Drinking Party Girl: She loved to party, drink, and go out to bars. When her friend was concerned about her leaving her son home alone, she flippantly responded that she wasn't going to lose her freedom just because she now had a child.
• Hate Sink: She is a neglectful mother that chose to party and is shown to not care too much in such a way that even fans joke about showcasing their hate.
• The Hedonist: She cared more about partying and going out to bars than raising her son.
• It's All About Me: When asked about leaving Giorno, still a little child in his crib alone in her apartment, her response is that she's not going to waste away her youth raising him.
• Jerkass: She's overall neglectful, hedonistic and overall selfish - not batting an eye on her lack of association to Giorno.
• Karma Houdini: Implied. While her husband and her son's bullies were intimidated by the unnamed gangster into treating Giorno decently, she seems to have completely gotten away with neglecting her son.
• Lack of Empathy: She left an infant Giorno alone in her apartment while she went out.
• Makeup Is Evil: In the anime, there is a scene of her putting on lipstick and eyeshadow while partying with her friends, not caring that her baby son is at home in his crib, all alone, trembling because he's learned that it's useless to cry for his mother.
• No Name Given: As a result of only appearing briefly in a flashback, her name is never revealed. Her last name is presumably Shiobana, but there's no indication what her first name is.
• One-Note Cook: According to Purple Haze Feedback, when Giorno was a child, she never made anything for dinner except yakitori (grilled chicken on skewers).
• Parental Neglect: She willingly left Giorno alone to gallivant with her friends with no concern for his well-being — while the boy was a toddler — traumatizing the youth.
• Small Role, Big Impact: In spite of being a character in Giorno's flashback; her decisions to not raise him and marry an abusive Jerkass led to Giorno becoming good at reading others and meeting the gangster that would influence his future. On a broader scale in the overall saga, she showed that DIO had multiple children with several women during his time after coming back in the late 1980s. Some becoming significant enemies in the next part.
• Trash of the Titans: When Giorno was little, his mother's apartment in Japan was very small and had trash scattered everywhere.
• You Will Be Spared: DIO always saw women as mere tools or food, but he spared her life for unknown reasons, allowing her to give birth to their son.

Giorno's Stepfather

Giorno's Stepfather

Voiced by: Hinata Tadokoro (TV anime, JP), DW McCann (TV anime, EN)

An Italian man who married Giorno's mother when the boy was four.

---

• Abusive Parents: He beat Giorno with a belt when his mother wasn't watching.
• Adaptation Dye-Job: His hair is reddish in the colored manga, but brown in the anime.
• Affectionate Gesture to the Head: He rubs Giorno's head while inviting him to be in the family's wedding photograph.
• Bait the Dog: At first he seems like a kindly man, inviting little Giorno to come stand in the photos at his and his wife's wedding, and patting his head. Then, cut to him beating Giorno with a belt.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He would act like a caring stepfather to Giorno when his wife was around, but would then beat him when he was in a bad mood.
• Briefcase Full of Money: In flashback, he is seen counting a stack of money from a large briefcase with a greedy expression, implying he may have been involved in something illegal. However, this is never elaborated upon.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: At some point, the mysterious gangster approaches him and does something to make him stop hurting Giorno. The next time Giorno's stepfather is about to hit him, he suddenly stops, remembering this, and mutters to himself, "Why does he care so much about Giorno?"
• Faux Affably Evil: He pretends to care about Giorno after marrying his mom, but then proves himself to be an Abusive Parent extraordinaire, still acting as affable as ever while he's beating Giorno within an inch of his life.
• Karma Houdini: Aside from being intimidated out of beating Giorno by the mysterious gangster, he doesn't appear to have received any other retribution.
• No Name Given: His name is not given in either the manga or anime, although it's possible that Giorno's last name of Giovanna comes from him.
• Small Role, Big Impact: He only appears in flashback, but his marriage to Mrs. Shiobana is the sole reason that Giorno lives in Italy.
• Wicked Stepfather: A rare male example. He married Giorno's mother long after DIO conceived him, and went on to be the biggest source of Giorno's childhood misery due to his mother not being there to put a stop to her husband's abuse of her son.
• Would Hurt a Child: When Giorno was very little, his stepfather would viciously thrash him with a belt just for looking at him and trying to figure out what mood he was in.

Giorno's Hero

Giorno's Hero

Voiced by: Hiroshi Shirokuma (TV anime, JP), Armen Taylor (TV anime, EN)

"I'll never forget what you did for me."

A mobster who was saved by an adolescent Giorno and in turn, inspired him to become the person he is.

---

• Ambiguously Evil: While he was helpful to Giorno by making the boy's life easier through his influence after being saved by the boy out of gratitude, was against Giorno joining the mafia, and despises drug dealers much like how Giorno would later become, he was still a gangster willing to kill anyone involved in the drug trade, regardless of whether or not they have loving families.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Despite playing a big part in Giorno's backstory and shaping his personal beliefs, the mysterious mobster doesn't appear anywhere else in the story outside of flashbacks to Giorno's past.
• Cruel to Be Kind: The narrator suggests that his cold attitude toward Giorno was meant to discourage him from joining the mafia.
• Do Not Do This Cool Thing: In-Universe. He was strongly opposed to Giorno joining the mafia for his own safety. And while initially he initially joined Passione to destroy it from the inside, after the defeat of Diavolo, Giorno secretly usurped the vacant position of Don and sought to return the organization back to the traditional values of The Mafia.
• Even Evil Has Standards: He may be a ruthless mafioso, but he won't tolerate drug dealing.
• Good is Not Nice: He's undoubtedly not a bad person, with his decision to repay his debt to Giorno, but he won't tolerate scum. This extends to murdering the father of a young boy because that man sold drugs in the neighborhood.
• Hidden Eyes: His eyes are never seen, always obscured by shadows.
• I Owe You My Life: Giorno leads the men who would've finished him off away from his injured body. For this, he helps Giorno get by with his horrendous childhood.
• Mysterious Benefactor: After Giorno saved him, he secretly went out of his way to make the boy's life easier and kindled Giorno's love for his neighborhood and his desire to better it. He stopped Giorno's stepfather from beating him (implied to be through intimidation), suggested to the owner of a gelato shop Giorno and his Hero both frequent to give the boy extra ice cream scoops free of charge, and put in a good word with the other children in the neighborhood so they'd start treating him nicely, to the point where they even began saving him a seat at the local cinema.
• Nerves of Steel: He doesn't even flinch when a kid who's father he killed has a gun pointed straight at him.
• No Name Given: His name is never revealed in the short screen time he has. The anime only credits him as "Man X" ("Mr. X" in the English dub).
• Papa Wolf: In return for being protected by Giorno, he protected Giorno from afar, stopping his stepfather from beating him.
• Small Role, Big Impact: Never makes an appearance in the present day, only flashbacks to years ago, but his presence singlehandedly shaped Giorno into the person he is (and prevented him from becoming the same kind of man as his biological father). In the anime, what's shown of his personality heavily suggests Giorno grew up to emulate his sense of justice, in a similar manner to Josuke Higashikata and his own hero.
• Stealth Pun: This man is a gangster and a father figure for Giorno. As in, a Godfather.
• The Unapologetic: When he is confronted by the young son of a man he killed, he doesn't try to excuse what he did, saying the guy deserved it because he was a scumbag drug dealer that even sold to women and children.
• Uncertain Doom: Even after joining a branch of The Mafia in Passione himself, Giorno never encounters his Hero at all during the main plot. Given that by the story's time, drug peddling is active even in Passione's circles, it's possible that his anti-drug stance wound up getting him killed by rival, or even fellow gangsters at some point after Giorno last saw him.

Paolo Bucciarati

Paolo Bucciarati

Voiced by: Shinnosuke Ogami (TV anime, JP), Armen Taylor (TV anime, EN)

Bruno's father, a Neapolitan fisherman.

---

• Big Ol' Eyebrows: He has some pretty thick eyebrows.
• Good Parents: He loved his son very much and hoped that Bruno would be able to go to a nice school in the city, so he worked hard to afford the tuition. Sadly, that did not happen.
• He Knows Too Much: When he accidentally witnessed a drug deal by two tourists, they shot him seven times to keep him from going to the police.
• Named by the Adaptation: The manga doesn't mention his first name, but the anime puts it on his tombstone.
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: He allowed some fishermen to ride his fishing boat to a small islet, but when one of them left his fishing rod behind, Paolo went to return it to them. When he got there, he saw them dealing drugs, and they shot him to keep him from going to the police. Doubly so, because the primary reason he was renting out his fishing boat to tourists was to be able to afford the tuition for his son's school.
• Posthumous Character: By the time of the main story, he has been dead for three years.
• Secretly Dying: Despite being saved by his son, he only survives for five more years before dying of complications from his bullet wounds.
• Sickbed Slaying: He survived being shot by the tourists who made the drug deal he witnessed, but they came back to his hospital room later that night to finish him off. They would have succeeded, but a 12-year-old Bruno was hiding under the bed waiting for them with a knife and killed them instead.
• Too Good for This Sinful Earth: He was a kind man who wanted the best for his family, yet died because of the drug trade.

Mela

Narancia's Father

Narancia's mother and father.

---

• Family Theme Naming: Mela's name means "apple", while her son's name combines the Spanish and Italian words for "orange".
• Karma Houdini: As far as we know, Narancia's father never received any retribution for being a terrible parent.
• Lack of Empathy: Narancia's father showed little reaction to his wife's death and did not care about his son running away from home.
• Named by the Adaptation: The manga doesn't mention the first name of Narancia's mother, but the anime puts it on her tombstone as Mela.
• Parental Neglect: After Mela's death, Narancia's father stopped caring about him, leading to the boy dropping out of school and running away from home to hang out with his friends. This would lead to Narancia eventually ending up in juvenile hall after being framed by one of his friends for committing a crime.
• Say My Name: In the anime, Mela only says a single word, whispering "Narancia..." on her deathbed.
• Unnamed Parent: Narancia's father is not given a first name in either the manga or anime.
• The Voiceless: In the anime, Narancia's father doesn't have any dialogue.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: In the present day, Mr. Ghirga's status is unknown. Presumably, he didn't care too much about his son running off to join the mafia.

• False Friend: He pretended to be a big brother-type figure to Narancia and then ruined his life.
• Hate Sink: Frankly, it's almost impossible not to hate him for being so cruel to Narancia and never suffering any consequences for it.
• Karma Houdini: He never gets any retribution for framing Narancia and leaving him for dead. The only consolation is that the last we saw of him, he was still living on the streets too, so he's probably not doing that well either (assuming he's still alive).
• Kick the Dog: He pretended to be Narancia's friend and tricked him into dying his hair blonde so he could frame him for beating and robbing an old woman, which got him a year in jail. Then when Narancia got out with an infected eye, he spread the rumor that the younger boy's eye infection had come from his mother and made everyone avoid him. Even worse is that previously Narancia trusted him enough to tell him about his mother's death, only for the older boy to use it against him.
• No Name Given: Narancia refers to him as "Aniki" (Japanese) or "Big Bro" (English).
• Would Harm a Senior: He beat up and robbed an elderly woman, then framed Narancia for it.

Anita

Anita

Voiced by: Riho Sugiyama (TV anime, JP), Nicole Gose (TV anime, EN)

"Some perverted freak just attacked me in my private room! It's because of the shitty cheap locks you put on the doors! I can't believe I paid for this! So!? Are you gonna take responsibility for this, huh!? You better have a lot of money for my restitution! I'll have you bowing down to me so hard, it's gonna leave a mark on your forehead!"

A random woman who Melone chooses to be the mother of his Stand, Baby Face.

---

• Adaptation Dye-Job: In the colored manga, her dress is green. In the anime, it's red.
• The Alcoholic: She is a drinker and smoker, as seen by the wine and cigarettes in her train compartment. Melone is happy about this when he's analyzing her potential as a mother for Baby Face, for some reason.
• All There in the Manual: Her name is never spoken out loud and only revealed in the anime's end credits.
• Asshole Victim: In her limited screentime, she quickly establishes herself as a person who won't be missed after Melone kills her. Just a person who simply got more than she actually deserved.
• Attack Backfire: She slaps Melone across the face for breaking into her train compartment and going through her belongings. However, he is pleased by this, taking it as proof that she must be in good health if she's strong enough to deliver such a slap, and licks her hand in a lecherous manner.
• Child Hater: She's particularly angry with a crying child on the train, even though it's understandable that the child would be in tears after the ordeal that they had suffered during The Grateful Dead's attack.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: She gets disassembled and broken apart into cubes by Baby Face's Junior after giving birth to it.
• Death by Irony: She apparently hates children but ends up being forced to give birth, and her own child kills her.
• Express Delivery: After being impregnated, she gives birth to Baby Face's Junior in only three minutes, without noticing.
• Hot-Blooded: She's easily angered and prone to yelling at people when she gets mad. Her "son", Baby Face's Junior, inherits that trait from her to the point where it starts disobeying Melone during the fight with Giorno.
• Innocent Bystander: She has nothing to do with Passione and just has the bad luck to be on the train when Melone is looking for a woman to bear his Stand's child.
• Jerkass: She seems to be an unpleasant person, referring to lower-class people as "peasants" and yelling at the train conductor while threatening to sue him because Melone broke into her compartment and harassed her. However, she surely didn't deserve her eventual fate of getting eaten by Baby Face.
• Muggle: Anita is a random bystander who has no Stand power and only gets involved in the plot because Melone's Stand requires a woman to impregnate in order for it to work.
• Named by the Adaptation: The manga only refers to her as "Baby Face's mother", while the anime names her Anita.
• Rich Bitch: She is first introduced complaining about having to get on a train with "all those peasants". Her family apparently has connections to the police and the government.
• Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: She tries to threaten Melone by saying her family has connections to the police and government. Unfortunately for her, he doesn't care about that.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Once she's done giving birth to Baby Face's Junior, Melone has no problem with letting it eat her.

Abbacchio's Partner (SPOILERS)

Abbacchio's Partner

Voiced by: Ikuji Nose (TV anime, JP), Jarred Kjack (TV anime, EN)

"I believe that the will to seek out the truth is what's important. As long as you have the will to seek it out, then, even if the perp gets away this time, you'll reach your destination eventually, won't you? That's because you're seeking it out. Don't you agree?"

Abbacchio's coworker from when he was a police officer.

---

• Afterlife Welcome: After Abbacchio is killed by King Crimson, he gets off a bus and finds a police officer investigating a broken glass bottle. He recognizes this man as his coworker from when he was a police officer, who tells him that he has done a fine job and lived an honorable life.
• Death by Origin Story: When Abbacchio was a cop, he became disillusioned with the corrupt nature of the job and one day took a bribe from a criminal, believing that even if he didn't, the criminal would bribe someone else anyway. Later, upon encountering the same criminal, he threatened to reveal that Abbacchio had taken a bribe from him. During Abbacchio's split second of hesitation, the criminal fired his gun, but Abbacchio's partner saved him and got shot instead. This would lead to Abbacchio getting fired from the police force and eventually joining Passione.
• Fair Cop: He's a fairly handsome police officer.
• Heroic Sacrifice: He saved his partner from getting shot, at the cost of his own life. Although Abbacchio survived, he would lose his job by letting his partner die.
• Jacob Marley Apparel: In the afterlife, he appears wearing the police uniform that he died in.
• No Name Given: His name is never mentioned in either the manga or anime.

Fugo's Teacher

Fugo's Teacher

Voiced by: Jiro Saito (TV anime, JP), Armen Taylor (TV anime, EN)

A law professor who taught at the university that Fugo attended when he was 13. Fugo beat him with a 4-kilogram encyclopedia, leading him to him getting expelled.

---

• Adaptational Villainy: In the manga, he is only mentioned in passing as a victim of Fugo's temper. The anime makes him a straight-up pedophile who molested Fugo and wholeheartedly deserved the savage beating he got.
• Depending on the Writer: The exact details of why Fugo beat him with the encyclopedia vary between adaptations.
  • In the manga, it is simply mentioned that Fugo lost his temper and beat up the professor, without explaining why.
  • The anime heavily implies that he molested Fugo and the boy beat him with the encyclopedia in self-defense.
  • In Purple Haze Feedback, he mocked Fugo for being upset about his dead grandmother.
• No Sense of Personal Space: The anime includes some creepy shots of him putting his hands on Fugo's shoulders and whispering in his ear.
• Rule of Symbolism: In the anime, as Fugo is beating the professor (who molested or "deflowered" him) with the encyclopedia, blood splatters on the nearby wall, including some artwork of a rose.
• Sextra Credit: He offered to tell Fugo about what would be on the next test in exchange for sex, and this was the boy's breaking point that led him to beat the professor senseless.

Scolippi (SPOILERS)

Scolippi (Stand: Rolling Stones)

Voiced by: Kenji Nojima (TV anime, JP), Daman Mills (TV anime, EN), Hidenobu Kiuchi (Vento Aureo video game)

^{Rolling Stones}

"Wishing for their safety will do nothing. I can only hope that they are sleeping slaves. That's it. Sleeping slaves will eventually awaken to discover some meaning... in their suffering."

A sculptor who appears in the epilogue flashback, followed by Mista and Bucciarati who believe him to be an enemy Stand user.

Rolling Stones (named after The Rolling Stones) is an automatic ranged Stand that operates independently of Scolippi. Its ability is predicting the deaths of people who are fated to die soon. It then tries to forcibly euthanize them. Rolling Stones causes a peaceful, instant death to those who it seeks out.

---

• Anti-Villain: He bares those who fall to the fate of his Stand no ill will personally, though it still predicts the death of others while also insta-killing anyone it projects who touches it. He has no control over Rolling Stones or who it chooses will die.
• Blessed with Suck: His Stand shows him how people who get close to him die. If they touch it, it kills them (peacefully). If they avoid it for long enough, they'll be doomed to die a horrible death. There's nothing he can do but try to warn people, and as an automatic Stand it moves on its own, no matter his wishes.
• Dub Name Change: His Stand is renamed to "Prophecy Stones" in official English translations.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Not him, but Rolling Stones appears in the first seconds of the "Fighting Gold" OP and is the first Stand seen during the "Modern Crusaders" ED. However, due to a combination of dark lighting, lack of focus on the Stand, and its simple appearance amongst the stone in the ED, one likely would not take notice to it unless already aware of Rolling Stones's existence and significance.
• Edible Theme Naming: His name is a distortion of "Scaloppine" (small scallops, thinly sliced meat).
• A Good Way to Die: Rolling Stones induces people into this, such as convincing Scolippi's soon to be ill girlfriend to commit suicide so her organs can later be donated to her father who will suffer the same disease. However, it gives up on chasing Bucciarati after also predicting the deaths of Abbacchio and Narancia. Scolippi reasons their gruesome fates will lead to a worthwhile result in the long run.
• Last Episode, New Character: He debuts in the final story arc of the Part, a flashback that begins after the climax has concluded.
• Messianic Archetype: Starts with a crown of thorns and gets stigmata over the course of his story. This combines with his general demeanor.
• Non-Malicious Monster: Rolling Stones isn't really evil, and its motive of trying to spare people from dying horrible deaths is noble. The only thing that makes it antagonistic is that it doesn't really give you the option of saying no. When Mista jumps out of a window to break it against the pavement below, it seems to save him, as he wasn't supposed to die.
• Personality Powers: In the same vein as the mangaka Rohan Kishibe having the power to turn people into books, Scolippi's Stand manifesting as a stone that slowly turns into a statue makes sense since he's a sculptor.
• Post-Final Boss: From our perspective, anyways, as the Sleeping Slaves arc is shown to us after Diavolo has died. In general, Scolippi isn't so much an opponent as his deadly Stand is, and he himself is a Nice Guy.
• Walking Spoiler: Scolippi is the last character to be introduced in Part 5, and his Stand is very hard to talk about without spoiling which members of Bucciarati's team end up dead.
• You Can't Fight Fate: Zigzagged. Rolling Stones automatically manifests near those it senses will die soon, and even gradually takes the form of what their pose and status will be at death. However, if the one sensed touches it, it will give them another, less futile way to die. The caveat, however, is that the victim still cannot escape their death either way.
