Luca (ルカ, Ruka), commonly known by his nickname "Leaky-eye Luca" (涙目のルカ, Namidame no Ruka), is a minor antagonist featured in in Vento Aureo.
Luca is a Passione capo who takes control of all business done at the Naples airport. When he finds out Giorno has been doing business at the airport with Luca's OK, he confronts Giorno but subsequently leaves himself unconscious after striking a frog imbued with Giorno's life-force with his shovel.
Appearance
Luca is a man of average to below-average height, being nearly eye to eye with Giorno, with a hutched stature. The two distinct features of Luca's appearance are his constantly leaking right eye, which he received due to a previous facial injury, and his bangs which come down into two points.
Luca wears a coat with flower patterns covering it, which are given more detail in the manga, over a button-up shirt. Luca is always seen carrying a shovel with "S.P.Q.R." embedded on it, which he uses to beat and kill people with.
Personality
History
Nothing is known of Luca's past, except for the fact he was in a fight that left him with his moniker. A scene is added into the anime introducing Luca beating an unlicensed taxi driver, likely to death, who tried to get work on Luca's property near Naples airport with paying Luca. Just before being beaten again, the man says someone else has been dealing behind Luca's back and after getting a name, Giorno Giovanna, out of the man, Luca proceeds to thank him for the information and then hits the man once more leaving it unclear if the man was killed.
Luca meets with Giorno at a fenced area near the Naples airport and asks Giorno his age. After finding Giorno's age of 15 comical he proceeds to talk about the true basis of friendship: truth, tolerance, and tribute. After Giorno loses his patience with Luca, Luca immediately shows his true colors to Giorno and begins shouting at him and confronts Giorno about making business at the airport and says that Giorno hasn't given his tribute to Luca, saying they aren't true friends. After taking Giorno's wallet to take his money, Giorno says he already paid his tribute to the guard outside of the airport and Luca insults Giorno for believing he works with the guards at the airport.
Not finding money in Giorno's wallet, Luca becomes more frustrated with Giorno and after attempting to swing at him, the suitcase that Giorno had turned into a frog appears from a sewer drain and hops into Giorno's leg. Luca tells Giorno to flick the frog off of himself but Giorno refuses, causing Luca to become even more frustrated with Giorno for refusing both of his orders. Giorno suggests they go their separate ways and this causes Luca to try and kill the frog. After striking the frog now on Giorno's chest, the attack reflects back to him causing a large indent on his head, rendering him unconscious.
Later on, Bucciarati confirmes to Giorno during their confrontation that Luca is in critical condition and likely won't wake up.
