- Purple Haze Feedback Fugo has a very caring personality, as shown in his past when he brings a young Narancia, who was suffering from hunger and from an eye disease, into a restaurant and asks Buccellati to give him food. He can also be hotheaded, dropping out of school due to having a bad relationship with his primary school teachers, and his stand, when shown to be belligerent, was said to reflect this aspect of his personality. However, he is also very careful, deserting Buccellati's group when presented with the choice to stay and betray the boss or leave and seek safety.

Fugo was very good in school, with an IQ of 152. At the age of 13 he was able to achieve university standards, but did not continue school due to having bad relationships with his teacher. He is seen giving Narancia basic arithmetic lessons despite being a year younger than him, due to Narancia's lack of basic education.

Trivia

 * Fugo's dropping out of the gang was due to Araki realizing he made Purple Haze too strong of a Stand.
 * His reasoning for leaving the group was that Diavolo would kill everyone eventually if they continued. However, his suspicions were nearly correct as Buccellati, Abbachio, & Narancia were killed by Diavolo, with Giorno, Mista, & Trish were nearly killed by him.
 * Fugo is the first form of the Latin verb 'Fugo, as, avi, atum, are' which means 'to run, escape', which could have been a form of foreshadowing since he is the only one of the group to run away from the gang & escape Diavolo.
 * Originally, Fugo was meant to be a spy for Diavolo against Buccellati's team.
 * Fugo takes up a central role in the Part 5 novel, in which he did not leave Buccellati's gang.
