Pannacotta Fugo

Pannacotta Fugo (パンナコッタ・フーゴ) is a character from Part V: Vento Aureo and is a member of Bruno Buccellati's gang.

Personality
"His name is Pannacotta Fugo. Branded as a traitor, shamed for his shamelessness. Where will his fate take him? Only he can determine his own path."

- 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 did fairly well in his studies, having boasted 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.

Synopsis
Fugo was initially introduced helping Narancia with basic arithmatic. This turns violent after Narancia get the answer wrong, which then Fugo strikes him with a fork. Narancia almost retaliates with a knife before Buccellati introduces Giorno into the gang. Later after Narancia's close encounter with Formaggio, Fugo, Giorno, & Abbachio was told to retrive a "key" for the boss. He uses Purple Haze to help retrieve the key in one of the gang's missions, and its poison plays a key role in helping Giorno & Abbachio defeat La Squadra di Esecuzion member Illuso.

After safely escorting Trish to the boss, and being presented with Buccellati's current situation, Fugo was unsure about following his gang in betraying the boss and left the gang.

He's still troubled over refusing to betray the boss with Buccellati's team. He does some soul searching throughout the story, and when he finds his answer, his stand evolves to Purple Haze Distortion.

He loses Passione's trust after Diavolo's defeat, and has to help exterminate the drugs team to regain it. After he evolves his stand and finishes his mission, Giorno tells him that his true goal was to have Fugo learn to control his stand. Fugo swears loyalty to Giorno for his assistance.

Giogio's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Whrilwind  (PS2 Game)
Fugo makes his first appearance in the PS2 title, Giogio's Bizarre Adventure. In the game Fugo has a different gameplay style from most of the other characters. Along with Narancia, he's the only character who cannot move when his stand is activated; unlike the others, the player assumes direct control of Purple Haze.

Fugo himself does not have any special moves (unlike Narancia's knife or Trish's pipe), all of his attacks consist of small punches and his only true "special" is the "SHOCK" where Fugo receives a kind of an impulse; this move serves to change the way which Purple Haze will release the Poisonous Wave.

Purple Haze moves very slow, but has a fighting style similar to a boxer; the player can perform combos if his uppercut connects with the enemy. Purple Haze can also throw the poison balls on it's gloves as a long-range attack, inflicting poison status on the enemy (6 balls at the total, which can be reload by disabling and activating the stand button again). Since Purple Haze has the viral tendency to clean anything, if the stand is activated for a long time, it will start to clean itself and stop fighting, forcing the player to control Fugo again, wait a short time and then reactivate the stand mode.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle (PS3 Game)
Along with most of the Part 5 heroes, Fugo makes his comeback in All-Star Battle, as a DLC character. Unlike the previous game he appeared, Fugo can move if Purple Haze is activated, and it will follow Fugo much like the rest of the stand users. This time Fugo has a moveset more compatible for a fighting game (using kicks, throws and even a fork as part of his moveset). His HHA and GHA still involves Purple Haze using his poison moves on the opponent (causing the enemy to suffer from a poison status and slowly drain their life for a short period of time). Along with Valentines GHA, Fugo's GHA is the only special move to alter the contrast of the screen (resulting in a more black and white combination of colors to add more intensity to the special).

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.
 * So far, Fugo is the only character to go from an ally to an neutral role.
