Pannacotta Fugo (パンナコッタ・フーゴ, Pannakotta Fūgo) is a character from Part V: Vento Aureo and was a member of 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, the gang is told to retrieve a "key" for the boss. Fugo uses Purple Haze to help retrieve the key as its poison played a key role in helping Giorno and 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 betraying the boss and left the gang.

After he leaves the group he receives new orders to work along with Rigatoni and wipe out Buccellati's gang. However, he finds a way to follow his orders and protect his friends at the same time by hiding Giorno's ability to resist Purple Haze's powers from Rigatoni.

(The information below derives from a Light Novel not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered canon.)
After going into hiding for six months following the events of Part 5, Fugo is found by Mista and Sheila E. Mista, on Giorno's behalf, then provides a now guilt-laden Fugo with the mission to kill the members of Passione's former narcotics team (which includes his former classmate Massimo Volpe), in order to prove his loyalty to the gang.

Still troubled over refusing to betray the boss with Buccellati's team, Fugo then sets out with Sheila E. and Cannolo Murolo to stop the team. While reflecting upon his past and his actions, he finally comes to find his resolve. In doing so while fighting Volpe, his stand evolves to Purple Haze Distortion, killing Volpe and nearly taking his own life in the process.

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 other 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" move 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 available for $1.99. He was confirmed for the game on the special presention for the game release alongside Iggy.

Unlike the previous game he appeared in, 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 a sequence of kicks, throws and even a fork as part of his moveset). But also, unlike the previous game, this time Fugo can get infected by his own stand if near the poison.

Fugo's HHA is a barrage of fists from Purple Haze, ending with the opponent being infected by his virus (causing the enemy to suffer from a poison status and slowly drain their life for a short period of time). His GHA makes Fugo biting one of the capsules so the opponent starts dissolving from the virus, then Purple Haze violently pummels the opponent spreading the virus into their system even more (similar to how Illuso was killed), 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, and obscure the sight of his opponent dissolving).

Fugo can also evolve his stand into Purple Haze Distortion during his Preparedness Mode. Visually, Purple Haze doesn't change a lot, only his helmet and shoulder's armor gain a more darker color, but during gameplay, after Purple Haze Distortion is activated, Fugo no longer is infected by his own stand. With these conditions, Fugo is the only character in the game to have 3 special moves (2 HHA and 1 GHA) along with Johnny Joestar (who has 3 special moves, 1 HHA with Tusk Act 2 and 1 HHA and GHA with Tusk Act 3), Josuke Higashikata (who has 2 variations for his HHA) and DIO (having 2 variations from his HHA). Fugo also has an alternate costume, which is the atire he uses during the light novel Purple Haze Feedback.

Fugo's default color makes his hair yellow and his clothes green, but one of his alternate color schemes makes him look similiar to his previous game appareance (with white hair and brown clothes).

Trivia

  • Fugo's dropping out of the gang was due to Araki realizing he made Purple Haze too strong of a Stand.
  • Originally, Fugo was meant to be a spy for Diavolo against Buccellati's Gang. The special conversations with the other Passione members in All-Star Battle take place as if this had actually happened in the story.
  • So far, Fugo is the only character to go from an ally to an neutral role.
  • His seiyuu in, Hiroaki Miura, also voices Joushuu Higashikata in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle​.
