"Di molto! (ディ・モールト！(非常に！))"

- La phrase fétiche de Melone

Melone (メローネ) est un antagoniste secondaire de la cinquième partie de ', ', apparaissant dans l'arc narratif "Baby Face".

Melone est un membre de la. Alors que la Team Buccellati est forcée de marcher sur les routes, il déploie son Stand automatique pour kidnapper discrètement  et combat, qui surprend Baby Face.

Apparence
Melone is a young, skinny man with an average height. He has long straight hair descending down to his shoulders, as well as long bangs on one side of his face.

Inspired by design, Melone's most distinctive feature is his clothes. He wears a dark suit with a concentric circle motif, lacking the right sleeve and a large part of the right side. Melone also wears matching gloves and shoes, as well as a transparent mask covering his right eye. Over his trousers, Melone sports two decorative chains around his shins on each leg.

Personnalité
Melone shows himself to be a polite man in most circumstances. Approaching every activity with cold professionalism, he physically inspects his future victims, looking them more like cattle to breed his Stand than fellow human beings. The TV anime also emphasizes his lustful side, showing him openly licking his lips in delight as he observes a beautiful woman's legs and feet, something his teammates are humorously disturbed by.

Melone always reacts jovially when circumstances match or exceed his expectations, exclaiming himself "Di Molto!" On the other side, when things do not go his way, he becomes nervous, still remaining cool-headed enough to issue tactical instructions, likely due to the fact that he is not the one facing immediate danger.

Melone is one of the least confrontational enemy Stand Users in the series, favoring hit-and-run tactics or laying traps, never reacting with violence to every setback, and even advising his Stand to flee instead of continuing to fight.

Melone wields the Stand Baby Face, which is a computer-like humanoid Stand he uses to create autonomous long-range Stands also named Baby Face which he can direct to kill his targets. He needs to find a blood sample of his target and a woman to breed said Stand before he can act.

Personal
Pseudoscience knowledge: Melone is well-versed in pseudosciences used to divine things such as character compatibility or a future child's characteristics. This serves him to determine the quality of the Stand he will breed in function to his target.

Passé
Melone est un membre de l'équipe d'assassins travaillant pour, la. Auparavant, ils étaient neuf. L'équipe était alors frustrée car ils ne recevaient leur paye qu'à chaque contrat clôt, alors que d'autres équipes géraient un territoire et gagnaient plus d'argent. Un jour, Sorbet et Gelato se décidèrent à enquêter sur le mais disparurent soudainement. L'équipe se mit à les rechercher et on trouva alors Gelato dans sa maison, ligoté et étouffé par son baillon. Il y avait aussi un morceau de papier sur lui où on avait écrit le mot "Punition". Plus tard, la Squadra reçut des colis et ils découvrirent avec horreur qu'on avait découpé Sorbet en morceaux et mis son corps dans du formaldéhyde. Cette exécution élaborée servait à montrer la toute puissance du Boss et le sort qui attendaient les rebelles. Les assassin désespéraient de pouvoir tenir tête au Boss. Cependant, ils entendirent alors de et sa fille, respectivement l'ancienne amante et la fille du Boss. Ils ses mirent en tête d'essayer de capturer Trish, pensant qu'elle pourrait être la clé pour deviner le pouvoir du Boss. La Squadra Esecuzioni se rebella ouvertement et commencèrent à chasser Trish. Alors que le capo avait mis Trish en sécurité, les assassins fouillèrent la maison de Trish pour trouver des indices, manquant ironiquement une photo de Donatella que le Boss lui-même avait prise.

L'adaptation animée s'étend un peu plus sur ce qu'il a fait. La nuit où Sorbet et Gelato ont disparus, il était en mission avec, et. Il n'a rien fait de particulier si ce n'est convoiter la femme de la cible en regardant ses jambes. Il s'est léché les babines en l'observant, ce qui a perturbé ses camarades.

Vento Aureo
Melone is first shown collecting a blood sample left from Bruno Bucciarati's battle with Prosciutto and Pesci for the Homonculus Materialization of his Stand, Baby Face. He later finds a woman while on a train and proceeds to examine her. Her bad temper, selfishness and overall incompatibility with Bucciarati makes her the ideal mother for Baby Face's child and thus he summons Baby Face to do its deed. He then leaves for another empty wagon, supervising Baby Face's growth. Once the homonculus is born, he then educates it to kill off Bucciarati's group and capture Trish Una. It surpasses his expectation and leaves for its target before it is ready, but Melone decides to trust in it.

When Baby Face locates Team Bucciarati and launches its attack within Coco Jumbo, Melone is seen giving it orders from his computer. However, Melone's plan inadvertently causes Giorno Giovanna to not only deal damage to Baby Face, but its ability allowed him to discover Gold Experience's indispensable ability to repair injuries through its basic life-giving power. Melone eventually loses control of Baby Face, who proceeds to act independently and ends up nearly burning to death.

After the defeat of his Stand, he's called by Ghiaccio about the wreckage. Ironically, before he could generate another homunculus incidence of Baby Face, a cube portion of his burning Stand finds its way back to him as a venomous snake animated by Giorno and bites his tongue, killing him off-panel.
