Mista est un adolescent de taille supérieure à la moyenne et de constitution moyenne. Contrairement au design de personnage habituel, Mista possède de grands iris noirs. Il porte un bonnet particulier qui couvre toute sa tête sauf le visage, avec un motif de diamant et dont l'avant à la forme d'une flèche pointant vers le bas. Il garde beaucoup de choses sous son bonnet, en particulier des munitions car il préfère généralement garder les mains libres.[1]
La tenue de Mista consiste en un pull en cachemire à col roulé avec un design similaire à son chapeau, un pantalon en cuir à rayures zébrées qu'il utilise pour ranger son arme, une ceinture épaisse et des bottes. En raison de la qualité du matériel, il dépense probablement le plus d'argent dans les vêtements parmi touts les membres de l'équipe de Buccellati.[1]
Mista emporte avec lui un revolver à canon court ressemblant à un modèle de Smith & Wesson, qui est essentiel à sa capacité de combat. Le revolver est équipé d'un couvert pour le chien, contient six balles dans le cylindre et utilise des balles à pointe creuse. Le revolver est systématiquement présenté comme étant violet pour toutes les adaptations.
Trish Una a commenté que Mista avait une quantité importante de poils, y compris sur ses doigts. Elle mentionne également qu'il sent d'une odeur réconfortant, bien qu'elle a dit qu'il sentait mauvais au début.

Personnalité
“
C'est là que je mets à l'épreuve mon abandon total!
Bon vivant et d'un naturel détendu lorsque le nombre "4" n'est pas impliqué, Guido Mista est également un tireur déterminé au combat.
Mista se présente comme un adolescent décontracté, étant l'un des membres les moins sérieux de l'équipe de Buccellati, mais pas aussi puéril que Narancia. Son passif le décrit comme un individu insouciant, dont le but était de jouir de plaisirs simples de la vie comme de la bonne nourriture ou les jolies filles.[2] Pendant les périodes d'inactivité, Mista peut souvent être vu en train de lire des livres ou des magazines.[3][4] Sa simplicité peut être confondue avec de l'idiotie par ceux qui ne le connaissent pas bien, alors qu'en réalité il préfère ne pas se casser la tête en pensant à des choses compliquées. Mista est également l'un des membres les plus sociables du groupe. On le voit régulièrement sortir de nulle part des sujets de conversation aléatoires, comme demander si les végétariens portent des vêtements en cuir, ou si la chair humaine aurait mauvais goût car les hommes mangent de la viande.[5][6]
Mista est un gangster violent
Bien que Mista puisse agir nonchalamment, il est l'un des membres les plus impolis et violents de la distribution. Il commet souvent des actes violents sans hésitation, ayant un passif de plusieurs combats qu'il a déclenché (et qu'il perdait parfois) parce que quelqu'un avait maltraité sa star de cinéma préférée.[7] Il affiche une totale volonté de commettre la torture ou le meurtre, souvent même avec une attitude désinvolte. Par exemple, il a accroché la paupière de Zucchero à une ligne de pêche et a menacé de brûler sa rétine avec le soleil,[8] n'a pas hésité à tirer à vue sur Sale et dans sa tête,
[9] et menacé d'exécuter Pesci s'il ne répondait pas à une question sur le compte de deux.[10]D'autres actes de ce type incluent le sabotage de la nouvelle chaîne stéréo de Narancia, car la musique l'agaçait[11] ou assommer un chauffeur de camion qui transportait sans le savoir la team Buccellati lorsque ledit conducteur les a preque découvert. On voit aussi qu'il était parfois très vulgaire, utilisant un langage grossier et narguant souvent ses ennemis lorsqu'il a le dessus au combat. Il lorgne occasionnellement Trish pendant sa mission de garde du corps et demande à Fugo de la regarder également, malgré les risques supposés de sanction de la part du Boss.[12]
Cependant, Mista est toujours une personne décente dans l'âme. Il a sauté à la rescousse d'une femme agressée sans hésitation et alors qu'il agit brutalement avec les civils, [7] il ne les met pas en danger comme ses ennemis le font, étant vraiment choqué face à la destruction causées par Green Day.[13]
Mista fait preuve d'une grande confiance en ses capacités, affirmant que ses Stand Sex Pistols sont adaptés à l'assassinat.[8] Il insiste souvent sur ses performances, d'abord en rappelant à Fugo qu'il a vaincu Sale seul et assuré la venue du groupe à Capri,[14]et fut plus tard contrarié que Giorno doute de sa "victoire" rapide contre Carne, pensant qu'il était assez bon pour gagner seul.[15] Cependant, dans l'arc des Esclaves endormis,quand il fallait sauver Buccellati et qu'il était confronté à un problème qu'il ne pouvait pas résoudre seul, Mista supplia Scolippi de lui donner conseil.[16] Il connaît aussi mieux que quiconque les limites de son arme et de son Stand.
Contrairement à son attitude habituellement décontractée, Mista devient sensiblement plus sérieux et proactif au combat. Mista est partisan de prendre des initiatives et plaide souvent pour affronter directement ses ennemis, parfois au point de se précipiter trop rapidement pour combattre, ce qui semble connecté à son habitude de ne pas trop penser aux choses[8]. Avec son attitude directe et un pouvoir lié aux armes à feu, Mista adopte une approche très simple et vise généralement à tuer immédiatement. Néanmoins, la plupart des ennemis auxquels il a fait face avaient la capacité contrer les balles dans une certaine mesure, le forçant à faire preuve d'ingéniosité pour se battre. Malgré son insouciance évidente, Mista montre qu'il peut être méthodique au combat. Il lui arrive de déployer Sex Pistols en tant qu'éclaireur et de construire une stratégie grâce à ce que Sex Pistols lui rapporte. Par exemple il avait déduit avec précision les actions les plus probables de Sale au cours de sa courte chasse[17] ou fait l'effort de trouver le point faible d'un ennemi, comme trouver le trou d'aération de White Album,[18] ou essayer d'attaquer Secco au moment où il sort du sol.[19]
Mista est déterminé à gagner à tout prix
De plus, Mista fait preuve d'un grand calme au combat, réussissant à garder son sang-froid la plupart du temps malgré les blessures ou même la menace de la mort.[20] L'exemple le plus notable de sa détermination est quand il s'engage dans une fusillade directe avec Ghiaccio malgré le fait que Ghiaccio renvoit les balles vers lui. Si on lui donne le choix, Mista n'a aucun problème à proposer des stratégies potentiellement suicidaires tels que laisser Ghiaccio le frapper pour aveugler l'assassin avec son propre sang, ou se jeter d'un bâtiment avec Rolling Stone dans ses mains.[21] Ce calme a cependant ses limites, car il a commencé à paniquer lors de la bataille finale contre le Boss.[22]
Mista a peur du chiffre "4"
La bizarrerie la plus notable de Mista est sa sévère tetraphobie: la peur du chiffre 4. Si le 4 est mentionné ou visible, il deviendra immédiatement anxieux et paranoïaque, transpirant d'une sueur froide.[23] De plus, son tand, Sex Pistols est numéroté de 1 à 7, avec le chiffre 4 omis. Il affiche parfois d'autres croyances superstitieuses, par exemple en disant qu'uriner près de bijoux précieux apporterait un mauvais karma, ou se demander si Giorno est un "garçon chanceux" qui apporte la fortune au groupe. On dit également que Mista croit en Dieu à un niveau fondamental; chaque fois qu'il est en danger, il a toujours des pensées du type "Je serai certainement sauvé!" ou "Ça va définitivement passer!". Ceci, cependant, n'est jamais démontré dans le manga en dehors de son profil de personnage.[24]
Bien que Mista soit amical avec chaque membre de son groupe, il a une relation privilégiée avec Buccellati et Giorno. Comme tous les membres de l'équipe de Buccellati, Mista admire Buccellati sous tous ses aspects et a une confiance sans faille en lui, faisant même confiance à Buccellati pour renverser le boss de Passione après que ce dernier ait annoncé sa trahison.[25] Parallèlement à son admiration pour Bruno, Mista noue un très bon partenariat avec Giorno, étant l'un des premiers à réaliser ses talents. Avec le temps, Giorno devient peut-être le membre de l'équipe qui le plus proche de Mista, les deux créant finalement une équipe efficace au combat.
Stand Sex Pistols de Mista lui permet de rediriger les balles tirées depuis son revolver.
Tir à l'arme: Même sans son Stand, Mista est un tireur d'élite doué. Sa précision impressionnante avec un revolver se complète avec sa capacité à garder son sang-froid même au milieu d'une fusillade. Ceci fait de lui un individu et un assassin particulièrement meurtrier, capable de gagner une fusillade contre trois hommes même s'il est à découvert.
Dans sa petite enfance, l'un des voisins de Mista a adopté un chaton sur quatre et a appris plus tard que le chaton avait griffé l'un des yeux dudit voisin. Cela a entraîné la tétraphobie de Mista. Dans son adolescence, Mista vivait seul. Il jouissait d'une vie insouciante malgré le fait qu'il vivait dans la pauvreté la plupart du temps. Il aimait dormir, regarder le coucher et le lever du soleil ainsi que les arbres ou les nuages qui passent, et le goût du vin et des fromages. Quand il voyait de jolies filles, il les saluait chaleureusement même s'il se faisait rejeter, et comme il n'avait pas d'argent, il restait devant le cinéma et battait les passants qui insultaient Clint Eastwood pour prendre leur argent. Parfois, il se faisait prendre par des policiers et passait des nuits au poste de police. Néanmoins, Mista jouissait généralement d'une vie agréable.[2]
Une nuit, alors que Mista avait dix-sept ans et qu'il marchait dans la rue, il vit un homme battre une femme dans une voiture. Cela ne semblait pas être un simple vol et la femme était gravement blessée, alors Mista s'est senti obligé d'intervenir et a pris des mesures immédiates. Il tordit le bras de l'homme et le tira de la voiture, frappant sa poitrine avec le genou. L'homme ressemblait à un clochard normal, mais il y avait aussi deux amis de l'aggresseur dans la voiture. L'homme blessé ne voulait pas que ses amis le voient dans un état aussi pathétique, alors il a sorti un pistolet de sa poche et a tiré deux fois, mais peu importe à quel point il était proche de Mista, toutes ses balles manquaient leurs cibles.
Mista commet le meurtre pour la première fois
L'homme a commencé à paniquer et a tiré son arme encore plus rapidement, mais les balles rataient encore. Paniqués, les deux autres hommes ont sorti leurs armes et ont également tiré sur Mista. Encore une fois, l'adolescent n'a pas été touché une seule fois, et il était même surpris de sa propre concentration et de son calme alors qu'on lui tirait dessus. C'est à ce moment que Mista a en quelque sorte pris conscience de ses capacités uniques. Alors qu'on continuait à lui tirer dessus, Mista a ramassé l'un des pistolet, a lentement ramassé les balles et l'a rechargé. Puis, avec l'attitude d'un tireur d'élite qualifié, il a tiré sur les trois hommes au visage avec une précision parfaite, en utilisant quatre balles par ailleurs.
Mista a été capturé par la police et condamné à une peine de quinze à trente ans de prison. Bien qu'il ait presque perdu la vie et n'ait tué que par légitime défense, personne ne pensait qu'il aurait pu ramasser et recharger une arme à feu pendant un échange de tirs sans se blesser. De plus, le fait qu'il ait rechargé une arme montrait une intention de tuer. Mista, qui embrassait la vie, a commencé à se demander s'il allait vraiment passer trente ans de sa jeunesse en prison. Cependant, la nouvelle de l'incident a attiré l'attention de Blono Buccellati. Buccellati a vu que Mista avait un esprit fort et une maîtrise des armes à feu, mais savait que Mista ne durerait pas deux ans en prison. Utilisant l'influence du gang pour changer le verdict de Mista, Buccellati a demandé à Mista de passer le test de Polpo, et il a réussi, obtenant un Stand digne d'un tireur, Sex Pistols.
L'adaptation d'anime montre qu'immédiatement après sa sortie de prison, Mista a été invité à déjeuner par Buccellati et Mista l'a suivi, avalant joyeusement les plats. À un moment donné, Bucciarati a commandé quatre bruschette mais a ensuite changé d'avis et en a demandé cinq. En entendant cela, Mista a alors immédiatement accepté de suivre Buccellati.
Vento Aureo (2001)
Enquête sur Scolippi
Un jour alors que l'équipe déjeune, Mista explique avec enthousiasme comment il a déduit que la viande d'herbivores doit être plus délicieuse que la viande de carnivores, ce qui signifie que les humains doivent en fait avoir mauvais goût. Buccellati arrive et informe l'équipe que Luca "larme-à l'oeil" est décédé et que Polpo lui a ordonné d'enquêter sur l'affaire. De plus, un fleuriste est venu et explique à Buccellati qu'un jour, sa fille est allée à l'appartement de son petit ami et a ensuite sauté du toit de l'immeuble, serrant une pierre ronde dans ses bras. Le fleuriste soupçonne le petit ami Scolippi, sculpteur de métier, et demande à Buccellati de venger sa fille en échange de ses économies.
Mista et Rolling Stones
Blono accepte d'enquêter et de rendre justice. Il charge Mista d'aller voir le petit ami. Cependant, Mista voit soudain une pierre ronde sur son siège alors qu'il se lève. Mista touche la pierre et entend quelqu'un implorer d'être tué. Bien que Mista soit inquiet, tout le monde ne voit qu'une pierre ordinaire et le presse de se précipiter vers le parking pour que Fugo et Buccellati puissent le déposer à l'adresse de Scolippi. Fait troublant, Mista continue de repérer des pierres rondes près de lui tandis que le groupe se rend à l'appartement du petit ami et le mentionne à son équipe. Cependant, on ne prend pas ses inquiétudes au sérieux. Lorsqu'il ouvre l'ascenseur, Mista voit la pierre à l'intérieur et tire instinctivement sur elle. Cependant, la pierre en ruine prend la forme de Buccellati blessé et Scolippi apparaît, caché derrière la porte de l'ascenseur.
Mista frappe rapidement Scolippi, fait monter l'ascenseur et commence à l'interroger. Scolippi révèle qu'il est un sculpteur ignorant des Stands, sauf pour sa propre capacité Rolling Stones, qui a agi de son propre chef et a suivi Buccellati. Mista remarque alors que la pierre a disparu et Scolippi explique que le sort de Buccellati a été scellé, tout comme la façon dont les pierres sont destinées à prendre la forme d'une statue donnée. Sceptique, Mista tente d'intimider Scolippi pour ramener la pierre en forçant une roulette russe sur le sculpteur mais Scolippi explique que Rolling Stones prédit de futurs décès et confronte sa cible pour les faire mourir paisiblement quand ils la touchent, revendiquant que cette capacité était la véritable cause de la mort de sa petite amie. Mista tire sur Scolippi dans la bouche, mais son arme échoue car Scolippi n'est pas censé mourir aujourd'hui. Mista frappe Scolippi et appelle Fugo pour avertir Buccellati. Cependant, il apprend que Buccellati a déjà décidé d'aller l'aider et se trouve actuellement à portée Rolling Stones.
Mista parvient à détruire Rolling Stones
Tirant trois des Sex Pistols pour chercher Buccellati, Mista fait descendre l'ascenseur et supplie Scolippi à peine conscient de trouver un moyen d'arrêter Rolling Stone. Scolippi mentionne ensuite la possibilité de détruire la pierre bien qu'il ne soit pas sûr que cela puisse fonctionner. Buccellati est déjà au septième étage et Rolling Stones est près de sa cible. En tirant dans la cage d'ascenseur, Mista parvient à retarder la pierre en lui tirant dessus et parvient à rejoindre Buccellati et expliquer la situation. Cependant, ce faisant, il a aggravé les blessures présentes dans la statue de Buccellati. Mista retient la pierre mais elle s'enfonce ensuite dans les escaliers et réapparaît d'un mur pour tendre une embuscade à Buccellati. À l'aide de Sticky Fingers, Buccellati s'échappe à l'extérieur du bâtiment, suivi de près par Rolling Stones. La pierre touche presque Buccellati mais Mista est capable de l'attraper et se jette du septième étage tout en tenant la pierre. Mista atterrit alors sur le toit d'une voiture et les Rolling Stones se brisent sur le béton. En faisant confiance à la parole de Scolippi, Mista a réalisé cette action audacieuse en sachant qu'il n'était pas destiné à mourir ce jour-là. Soit dit en passant, Mista atterrit sur la voiture de Fugo, qui était revenu pour redonner à Mista le magnétophone qu'il a oublié.
La pierre détruite mais Fugo blessé, Mista se contente de laisser toute l'affaire en l'état et Buccellati décide d'enquêter sur le cas de la mort de Luca. À l'insu des gangsters, la poussière de pierre a conservé la forme de Buccellati et prend également la forme de Abbacchio et Narancia, signalant leur mort imminente.
Le trésor de Polpo
Introduction de Mista, vexé qu'on lui serve quatre parts de gateau
Mista est présenté à Giorno Giovanna aux côtés du reste du groupe dans un restaurant. Mista en particulier voit son collègue Leone Abbacchio uriner dans une théière et offrir une tasse à Giorno. Mista étouffe le rire après avoir vu Giorno hésiter à boire dans la tasse de thé. Cependant, il est rapidement stupéfait et impressionné lorsque Giorno avale toute la tasse.[23]
Peu de temps après, la team Buccellati poursuit le trésor de Polpo après le capo se soit tiré dessus et prennent donc un voilier pour Capri. En chemin, Mista et la majorité de l'équipe sont pris en embuscade et dégonflés par Soft Machine. Après la défaite de Mario Zucchero, le manieur de Soft Machine, Mista continue de le torturer pour obtenir informations sur ses complices en vain. Avec la capacité d'Abbacchio, l'équipe apprend qu'il a un complice qui l'attend sur l'île. Mista et Giorno se chargent de le vaincre et Mista révèle son Stand Sex Pistols, capable de rediriger les balles tirées de son revolver pratique. Les deux arrivent en secret à Capri. Il est l'heure du déjeuner, alors Mista sort des saucisses pour nourrir ses Sex Pistols, au grand étonnement de Giorno. Ils décrivent ensuite leur plan: Mista se cache près de la salle radio de la marina tandis que Giorno appelle la salle radio pour attirer le partenaire.
Fighting Sale
Suddenly, Giorno gesticulates. Not understanding the clue, Mista gets out of his hiding spot and walks in front of the radio room, unaware that the enemy is in there already. Giorno shouts in the radio and warns Mista this way. The enemy closes the shutters but Mista is still able to shoot twice inside, allowing his Sex Pistols to wound the enemy's leg. He follows the enemy's blood trail and works out that their Stand must be a close-range Stand since he hasn't been attacked yet. A truck starts and Mista jumps on the cab and aims at the truck driver but sees at the last moment that the driver's leg is uninjured and shoots toward the real enemy hidden on the roof of the cargo box. Sale, finally revealed, takes a bullet in the forehead. Surprisingly, Sale stands back up, cursing Mista.
Mista is shocked to see someone who can survive a bullet in the head while Sale deducts that he must kill Mista to regain his anonymity. Mista shoots again three times, but Sale reveals his Kraft Work, a short-range power type Stand that easily deflects each bullet. The gun empty, Mista tries to get away from the truck but realizes that he's stuck to the handle. The driver too is stuck in a driving position, and bullets are seen floating alongside Sale. Thus, Mista understands that his foe's ability is to lock object in position in regard to a given reference, be it the truck or over Sale's own skin, explaining how the bullet couldn't really hurt him. Sale attacks with Stand punch, but the gunslinger reveals that he's hidden bullets inside his hat. He shakes his head, the bullets falling down and put inside the chambers by Sex Pistols, and shoots again at point-blank range. While Kraft Work deflects the first bullet, it is too slow to block the second one hidden behind. Sale is hit in the throat and falls off the truck, freeing Mista from his ability.
Sale is shot in the head for the second time
Mista realizes with horror that he's only got four bullets left, a sign of bad luck. Forcing the driver to stay behind the wheel, the gunman rethinks his strategy and theorizes that Sale could be vulnerable inside his body. He suddenly sees Sale in front of the truck, the operative having managed to catch on the truck because of the winding road and by throwing locked pebbles in the air to scale them. Mista prepares to shoot, but Sale reveals that Kraft Work has been tapping a bullet for some time. Releasing the bullet, the enemy Stand User manages to shoot Mista with his own bullet by stocking kinetic energy up. Hit in the gut, Mista misses three shots while Sale jumps back onto the truck. Sale then resumes tapping another bullet to finish off Mista, but the gunslinger, encouraged by the fact that he hasn't got four bullets anymore, proudly announces that his last shot will be the decisive one. Mista shoots, aiming for Sale's mouth, but the latter nonchalantly opens it and Kraft Work still blocks the bullet. Announcing his victory, Sale releases his own bullet, but Sex Pistols has hijacked it, exploiting Sale's overconfidence and kicking it back into him. Sex Pistols has kicked the bullet to crack it in two and one of the shards hits right into the bullet Mista put in Sale's head earlier. Having a bullet pushed into his brain, Sale falls to the ground, defeated. Returning to the marina, Mista brings Sale to his team.
Bucciarati brings his team to a public bathroom. Wounded, Mista nonetheless refuses to be brought to the hospital as he wants to be present when they recover the treasure. Suddenly, the Passione capo Pericolo appears to take the treasure and Bucciarati reveals that he's hidden the treasure behind a urinal. Pericolo takes the treasure and promotes Bucciarati to the rank of capo. The team is overjoyed and Mista privately thinks of Giorno as a good luck token for the team.
Bodyguarding Trish Una
The team then receives their first mission from Pericolo: to protect the Boss' daughter Trish from traitors who seek to discover the Boss' identity through her. Thus Mista, alongside his team, hides in the countryside until the Boss deals with the traitor. However, their hideout is compromised after Formaggio from Squadra Esecuzioni finds Narancia and battles him; although Formaggio is killed, Narancia's onslaught is bound to attract the attention of the traitors. However, the team quickly receives new orders and must retrieve a key in Pompeii. Mista stays in the house while Giorno, Abbacchio and Fugo go to the ruins of Pompeii to retreive the key and battle Illuso.
Express Train to Florence
On the key, Team Bucciarati find further instructions to board a train bound to Florence to eventually reach Venice. On the way there in their car, Mista ogles at Trish alongside Fugo. When the car suddenly brakes, Fugo throws himself at Trish in order to cope a feel, forcing Mista to beg for mercy. The team find the turtle Stand user Coco Jumbo and hide in it, eluding the duo of hitmen Prosciutto and Pesci by hiding in the driver's cabin. In there, Mista enjoys a fresh beverage. Soon, Mista is the first to notice that everyone is aging at a dramatic rate, especially Narancia. The team thus discover that an enemy is present.
Mista hastily tries to exit the turtle but Giorno stops him and raises the question of why the members are aging at different speed. Giorno eventually works out that reducing body temperature with ice cubes will slow the aging. With that precious information in mind, Mista heads out of Coco Jumbo. However, when he tries to activate the air conditioner to help his team, a fishing hook sinks itself into his arm. The second hitman Pesci uses Beach Boy, a fishing rod Stand. Mista tries to shoot the line but the damage is redirected into him. Pesci then violently reels Mista towards him while sinking the hook further towards Mista's vitals. Mista shoots himself and sends the Pistols inside his shoulder to slow the hook but they are too weak. Mista thus shoots towards the door, making Sex Pistols fly through the train until they find a glass full of ice in the bar wagon and destroy it. One man reacts badly to this and thus the Sex Pistols unmask Pesci, who has let his Stand go in his panic. Closing on Pesci and holding him at gunpoint to interrogate him, Mista is prepared to shoot but then an old man grabs him. The old man reveals himself as Prosciutto, the second hitman, and dramatically ages Mista. Mista is completely disabled by The Grateful Dead's aging power and is shot in the head by Prosciutto who then leaves him, thinking he's dead. However, Sex Pistols No.5 stopped the bullet with the aid of a piece of ice Mista fortunately kept in his head, while No.6 goes to Bucciarati to assist him against Pesci and Prosciutto. Bucciarati manages to win and kill both, but the train is disabled.
The gang quickly hitches a ride by hiding in a truck, still hidden inside the turtle. Unfortunately, Sex Pistols steal the driver's lunch, who discovers the turtle. Mista, in a panic, knocks the driver out, resulting in the truck crashing and the gang forced to look for another mode of transportation. In a parking lot, Mista steals a car alongside Narancia, Fugo and Abbacchio, unaware that Giorno is battling Baby Face. Mista then spends the remainder of the trip toward Venice outside the turtle and watching for any enemies. The team then receives further orders to go to Venice's train station and retrieve an O-A disc.
Fighting Ghiaccio
At 4:43 AM on an especially chilly night, Mista and Giorno enter the Ponte della Liberta, the only road connecting Venice to the mainland. Suddenly, Giorno briefly loses control of the car as the tires seem to have slipped, propelling Mista (who has been swiping a window) into the left. As the mist on the windows is getting thicker and Giorno decides to open a window, Mista realizes with horror that his little finger has been frozen and has stuck to the ice cold glass on the other side.
Ghiacchio appears
Giorno immediately feels an unnaturally chilling wind coming from outside, as Ghiaccio, who is perched on the roof of the car, confronts the duo and shows the same photo Pericolo has destroyed earlier. For his part, Mista is noticeably beginning to freeze against the window he's stuck on. The gunman shoots through the roof, revealing that Ghiaccio is enveloped in a thick coat of ice so hard the bullets cannot penetrate it. Several of the Sex Pistols are trapped by the ice and worse, the bullet holes let the wind blow inside the car, exposing the duo to lethally low temperatures. Mista has an idea and has Giorno's Gold Experience apply its ability to his bullets. Mista shoots into the ice and the bullet's heat allows the bullet to turn into roots that manage to break through the ice, which throws the assassin out of the car. Ghiaccio's freezing power stops but Mista sees that Ghiaccio is turning his ice shell into a suit which is White Album's true form and is rapidly skating toward them. Impervious to bullets, Ghiaccio catches up unharmed but Sex Pistols suddenly place the bullets beneath Ghiaccio's skates, making him trip. Nonetheless, Ghiaccio then freezes the leaking gas to create a makeshift rope and finally manages to grab Mista by the arm. Gold Experience then tries to pummel Ghiaccio but only manage to crack it. In front of such an invincible enemy, Giorno makes a desperate move and drives the car into the sea.
Ghiaccio's ice armor seems invincible
Giorno tells Mista to flee and accomplish the mission, as he theorizes that the mass of salt water will impede White Album. Mista reluctantly crawls to the bonnet of the car but then Ghiaccio shows that he can freeze water faster than Mista could swim, creating a long stretch of ice in seconds. Mista then tells Giorno to grow plants out of the bonnet of the car, eventually creating a makeshift snowboard out of frozen tundra grass and using the ice to his advantage to slide toward the shore. Ghiaccio is forced to cancel his freezing to stop Mista and abandons Giorno to target Mista. Trapped in ice, Mista hears Giorno tell him to shoot at some grass turning back into car parts. Thus the duo manages to drive a huge screw into Ghiaccio's helmet as Mista empties his gun into it, stunning and sinking him momentarily. But, although Mista almost climbs up to the shore, he suddenly decides that killing Ghiaccio is the best course of action and jumps back into the water. Here he finally sees that Ghiaccio's armor has a sizeable airhole on the back of the neck. Ghiaccio's helmet partially covers the hole, but Mista has a plan. Preparing to shoot Ghiaccio as soon as he reaches the surface, the gunslinger distracts him by shooting some fishes. Ghiaccio turns his head and tilts his helmet, allowing Sex Pistols to ride a bullet into Ghiaccio's weak point. However, Ghiaccio reveals his special technique White Album Gently Weeps, freezing the surrounding air solid to deploy invisible shields against projectile and rebound the bullet back at Mista.
Mista & Ghiaccio's showdown
Injured, Mista climbs back up to the city but Ghiaccio overtakes him and eventually discovers the disc containing The Boss' orders. Mista gets desperate to reverse the situation and goes to the offensive again. Having been observing Mista's breakdown, Giorno notices that they must show true resolve in order to win. Thus he crashes his frozen arm into some ice and helps Mista by spraying his own blood at Ghiaccio from afar. The blood has revealed the nuggets of frozen air and allowed Sex Pistols to navigate several bullets ricocheting against a lamppost directly at the airhole. However, Ghiaccio unveils yet another layer of protection as he seals the airhole and absorbs the frozen air to act as reserves, then shoots the bullets back at Mista. But then Mista purposefully uses his own wound to spray blood at Ghiaccio's helmet and shoots him in the face, making him trip into a sharp end of the post Sex Pistols have damaged. A metallic spike goes through the ice armor and threatens to push into Ghiaccio's neck. Mista thus attempts a last wild shootout, pushing Ghiaccio further into the post with his bullets as they come right back at him because of Gently Weeps. Unfortunately, Ghiaccio freezes his own blood solid to create pillars of ice and hits Mista in the head with a bullet.
Suddenly, the bullet wound is healed. Giorno has managed to swim to the shore during the fight and intervenes in time to save Mista. Praising Mista's spirit and summoning Gold Experience, Giorno has it repeatedly stomp Ghiaccio's face into the spike, finally killing him. The two gangsters have won just in time for the sun to peak through the horizon, and Mista silently acknowledges how Giorno has been pushing them towards victory. Giorno subsequently heals Mista's wounds but the process is painful to Mista.
Going Traitor
Confident in Bucciarati, Mista goes traitor
At the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, Mista waits with the others on a boat as Bucciarati and Trish go into the San Giorgio Maggiore Church. He and Narancia fight over a box of chocolates before the chocolates suddenly appear in Narancia's mouth, upsetting Mista and unsettling Giorno, a hint to the Boss' Stand ability. Giorno runs towards the church, causing the rest of the team to go after him. In the church, Giorno signals them his position and the team is astonished to see Bucciarati wounded with Trish still present. Once they get out of the church, Bucciarati reveal his defection from Passione and willingness to go against the Boss who tried to kill his own daughter. Mista is the second to join Bucciarati's cause after Abbacchio, his reasons being the idea of becoming a capo himself, as well as reaping the Boss' fortune when they usurp him. With that, Team Bucciarati (save Fugo) leaves for Venice and are branded as traitors.
The Way to Sardegna
Team Bucciarati go eat at a restaurant in Venice while deciding the next course of action. Mista discusses vegans' lifestyle with Narancia and Abbacchio, and mistaking a civilian for an enemy, beats him up before realizing his mistake.
Abbacchio, Mista and Narancia beating up a civilian
Bucciarati and Trish redirect the conversation to the Boss, whose King Crimson can erase time. As a direct confrontation is suicidal, Bucciarati decides to go investigate the island of Sardegna where Trish says her mother met the Boss when he was younger.
However, Narancia is immediately attacked by the combination of Squalo's Clash and Tiziano's Talking Head, respectively a shark-like Stand that can teleport from one body of liquid to another, and a Stand that forces the victim to lie. Narancia, under Talking Head's influence, unwillingly distracts the group. Mista is misdirected alongside Bucciarati and Abbacchio, while Narancia tries alone to save Giorno, the only one privy to the attack, from Clash. Although Clash is eventually cornered, Tiziano uses Talking Head to manipulate Mista into shooting inside the kitchen, where a gas leak caused by the fight creates a fire and hides Clash from Aerosmith's radar. Narancia is, however, able to track down and defeat both Tiziano and Squalo with help from Giorno.
The group then heads to Venice's airport to hijack a plane. On the tarmac, Mista sees an unsettling individual named Carne approaching the plane. The gunman immediately shoots and kills him, and is confident that he is dead, although Giorno remains suspicious.
Notorious B.I.G attacks the team's plane
On the plane, Mista and Giorno discover suspicious rotting fingers inside a fridge. Notorious B.I.G., Carne's Stand, infects Giorno's arm, forcing Mista to shoot at it to stop the infection. However, Sex Pistols is caught by the enemy Stand and Mista is severely injured. Half-dead and with Giorno's Stand being powerless once both of his hands are severed, Mista remains knocked out for the remainder of the fight. It is Trish and the awakening of her Stand Spice Girl who saves the gang. Giorno, planning beforehand, manages to restore one hand and heal everyone, and thus Team Bucciarati reaches Sardegna.
In Sardegna, Mista is teamed up with Giorno in order to stand guard from a vantage point. However, they fail when The Boss, disguised as a child, approaches Abbacchio and impales him with King Crimson's fist. Devastated, Mista is at a loss for words. Abbacchio's death was however not in vain, as he's managed to rewind further enough to actually obtain The Boss' fingerprints and a negative of his face. The team's subsequent research grab the attention of a mysterious hacker. Said hacker offers new information about The Boss, whose name is revealed to be Diavolo, and proposes to meet in Rome where he will give them an Arrow which could defeat him.
The Way to Rome
The group subsequently departs toward the Italian coast aboard a boat.
Arriving at a coastal village, Mista is the first to notice a lethal mold has infected the locals, and his hand too becomes infected when he draws his gun. When Narancia tries to jump back into the boat to retreat, the whole team gets infected, but thankfully, Mista makes the boat explode to propel everyone toward the shore, saving them. The mad doctor Cioccolata is observing the team while his Stand Green Day spreads the mold, and sics his human pet Secco on them.
Mista & Bruno sink into the ground because of Secco
Bruno switches place with Narancia who has been injured. Making their way up some stairs, Bruno and Mista notice that some cans are disappearing in the ground and Mista is unable to go up by walking on the stairs. They understand that the staircase itself is sinking into the ground. The duo run up the stairs but it now has sunk too low for them to reach the streets and Mista loses his pistol in the concrete. Secco approaches them from below but Mista commands Sex Pistols to retrieve the gun. He shoots a sign post, bending it downward so that they can grab it and reach the streets. However, the enemy is still beneath them. Secco goes towards Mista, who shoots him as soon as he's grabbed. Secco spits some rocks, ricocheting them back at Mista. Sex Pistols redirect the bullets back at Secco from behind but Secco dives underground to avoid them. Mista is incapacitated for the moment, but Bucciarati makes a daring plunge towards the coast to lure Secco out of the concrete and pummels him. This drives Secco away and gives Team Bucciarati the time to steal a car and go to Rome. Mista is healed and rests.
The ride is violently interrupted when an infected corpse falls into the windshield; the car crashes but Bucciarati manages to safely extract the team out of the car. Cioccolata and Secco have caught up to them with a helicopter. The mold is spreading in Rome. Mista tries to shoot the helicopter but Secco comes out to punch the bullets out of the way dives into the ground to give chase. To prevent a disaster and the death of their mysterious ally, the gang separates in two groups. Mista and Giorno combine their Stand powers to ensnare the helicopter up a tower, and go up to confront the enemy. Meanwhile, Bruno confronts Secco alone.
At the top of the tower, Mista sends Sex Pistols inside the cockpit, but they are ambushed by Cioccolata and Green Day. Five of out the six Pistols are cut down, and Mista is disabled for the remainder of the fight, Pistols no.5 assisting Giorno in his place. At one point, Mista is taken hostage by Cioccolata, but Giorno manages to defeat Cioccolata and then heals Mista.
Final Battle against Diavolo
Separated from Bruno, the group head toward the Colosseum, Mista standing guard. Unbeknownst to them, Diavolo manipulates Bruno and manages to reach the mysterious ally first. The hacker, who is revealed to be Jean Pierre Polnareff, is forced to use the Arrow on Silver Chariot, who is defeated after a brief struggle. Yet, another Stand makes an appearance and puts everyone in Rome to sleep.
Mista has switched bodies with Trish
When the group wakes up, they see that their souls have switched bodies. Mista thus finds himself in Trish's body, leading to a few embarrassing moments. However, the power affecting them seems to be from an ally as Mista notices his Sex Pistols' power has increased. The group formally meets Polnareff in Coco Jumbo's body, who explains that Chariot Requiem has been activated to protect the Arrow from anyone. Moreover, Chariot Requiem can manipulate souls and thus Stands to an extent, making it yet another obstacle in their paths. While the group meets with Bruno who is in Diavolo's body, the Boss is roaming free. Mista is forced to shoot at Bruno's own body, but Narancia is still assassinated by Diavolo. The group can only briefly mourn him before resuming their mission.
Giorno acquires Gold Experience Requiem and stops Diavolo
Chasing after Chariot Requiem, the gang witnesses the mayhem in Rome. A policeman attacks Mista, who shoots him in the jaw and loots his pistol. The group try to take the Arrow from Chariot Requiem. Polnareff grabs the Arrow with his mouth and causes Chariot to run after him. Mista tries to protect the turtle but his revolver suddenly breaks, forcing him to rely on a looted pistol. Mista must grab Polnareff and climbs a lamppost to escape, but Chariot still touches Polnareff and retrieves the Arrow. Worse, the group realises that otherworldly creatures are emerging out of their bodies and Mista blames Polnareff. Giorno suddenly tells the team to stop and investigates the broken revolver. Retrieving a piece of it, it becomes clears it has been snapped by someone, and the group understands that Diavolo has possessed one of them. Mista then loses his calm, suspecting everyone, but Diavolo emerges from Mista's body, possessed by Trish, before anything comes out of it. The Boss heavily injures Giorno and wrestles control from Trish, chasing after Chariot Requiem. Mista's bullets are ineffective as King Crimson can predict the bullets' paths. Despite Mista's relentless shooting, Diavolo effortlessly disables Chariot Requiem and grabs the Arrow. Thankfully, Trish softens some of the bullets swatted by King Crimson to create a backlash at an opportune time, and King Crimson loses the Arrow.
Mista spends the rest of the fight witnessing Bruno sacrificing himself to permanently defeat Chariot, and Giorno evolving his Stand into Gold Experience Requiem. Gold Experience Requiem then easily defeats King Crimson and pummels Diavolo, inflicting a fate worse than death.
Aftermath
Mista's final appearance
After the fight, Mista and Trish begin to bond and head toward the Colosseum, hoping to find Bruno still alive. Their reactions aren't shown.
Later, it is revealed that Mista is now working under Giorno's command.
The information below derives from a source not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered canon.
The light-novel shows the immediate aftermath of the battle against Diavolo. Mista discovers that Bucciarati is dead. Distraught, he's then told by Giorno that Bucciarati was dead for a while. Holding Giorno at gunpoint, Mista demanded explanations and was furious when he learned that Bucciarati and Giorno were working together to betray the Boss, thinking that Giorno goaded Bucciarati into mortal danger. However, Giorno tells Mista if he really wants to be responsible for the death of a fourth member of Team Bucciarati. Mista fires but misses on purpose, stating that the moment Giorno renounces being a member of Team Bucciarati, he will be killed.
People assume Mista is the #2 in Passione and Giorno's underboss after Diavolo's defeat. However, he doesn't like this too much, since 2 squared makes 4. He considers Polnareff (who is consigliere) to be #2 and calls himself #3 instead.
Mista meets Fugo at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium and orders him to eliminate the members of the Sezione Droghe in Passione, with the penalty of death should he fail.
It's bad luck to take something from four things! It's fine if you're choosing from five! It's also fine if you're choosing from three! But if you choose something from four things, something bad'll happen.
Which one do you want me to use? The glasses, or the fishing line? We're gonna make you answer some questions. If you don't, we're gonna be trouble! Lots of danger ahead, you understand. So, "Mr" Zucchero. You've got a partner, right? He's probably a Stand User too, huh? What's why I'm going to have to have to use these? You don't want to answer me? Not even about which one I should use? Well, if you're not going to choose... I'm gonna use both! Whoops!
Whether you answer me or not, I got one simple question to ask you, just one. And if you don't answer me in two seconds, I'm gonna put a bullet in each of your eyeballs. One, two. I won't wait any more than that! If you don't feel chatty, then I'll just figure out the answer myself! Understand? Okay, here we go. Where's your buddy hiding? Uno! Due! Now die! Ready to meet your maker?
I don't like your idea of victory! We'll send this guy to Hell, find the thing, and the both of us will make it safe and sound! That's what victory is, are we clear, Giorno!?
You asked me... if that was all the resolve I had left... right? Well it wasn't. No, it fucking wasn't... You're about to find out. But you'd better show some resolve of your own! You'll need it 'cause it's gonna be a long ride all the way down to Hell!
Mista makes his video game debut as one of the playable characters in the PS2 game.
Mista is a unique character in the game, as he cannot use punches or pummeling attacks. His main attack is shooting the opponent (up to 6 times, as a revolver's slot appears nears Mista's life bar) and he can reload his gun anytime he wants.
When Sex Pistols is activated, if Mista shoots normally, the bullets will mostly try to follow the enemy's direction. Also, if a certain button is held, Mista start saying "Number One! Two! Three! Five! Six! Seven!" (or at least the number of bullets the player wants to charge) as the Sex Pistols concentrate on a single bullet. After shooting, if the enemy is hit, Sex Pistols will start to ricochet the bullet the number of times the player has charged the attack.
Mista can also deploy a single Sex Pistol anywhere on the stage. After he shoots in any direction, the bullet will follow the Stand's position, who will immediately kick the bullet to the next Stand or the enemy.
If at any time during a battle, Mista has only 4 bullets remaining, a line of his will appear at the top of the screen as he says "Damn it, why am I left with four bullets!?"
Mista is available to fight against Ghiaccio (during chapters 10 and 11) and Secco & Cioccolata (chapter 16) on Story Mode. He's also available to fight several battles in Another Story.
Mista makes his comeback in the PS3 title as a playable character and was confirmed for the game alongside Giorno, Kakyoin, and Polnareff.
Mista's entire moveset is based on his previous game appearance, as he uses Sex Pistols to deliver powerful shots and ricochet bullets at the opponent. Despite being one of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "Stand" Style, Mista cannot switch between movesets, nor does he have access to the Stand Rush ability. He shares this effect with Hol Horse and Diavolo. Instead, Mista's Style button triggers abilities that involve Sex Pistols, powering up the strength of his shots. Exclusive to Mista are a Pistols Icon and Ammunition Icon, appearing above his Heart Heat Gauge. The Pistols Icon displays how many and which of Sex Pistols are readily available for use, and the Ammunition Icon displays the number of bullets loaded in Mista's cylinder.
Smash!: Mista kicks the opponent's leg. A low attack that cannot be blocked if the opponent is not crouching. All of Mista's moves can be performed instantly following this attack.
Time to get to work!: One up to all six of the Sex Pistols enter Mista's gun, powering up the next shot fired by "Gonna light you up!" by ricocheting the bullet through the opponent multiple times when it hits. Mista's next bullet is shown flashing red in the Ammunition Icon when this move is used. This skill can be used while Mista is moving, in mid-air, or even in the middle of attacking, but cannot be used if "Places, everyone!" is in effect.
Places, everyone!: Mista places one up to all six of the Sex Pistols in the air, keeping them there. Mista may place one up to three at a time, depending on button input. This move cannot be used if "Time to get to work!" is in effect, and has a follow-up. It can also be used while in mid-air.
Pass, pass, pass!: Mista fires at one of the Sex Pistols, and they ricochet the bullet around until all available members have hit it, before it is sent flying at the opponent, potentially hitting at unexpected angles and doing much more damage than a shot fired via "Gonna light you up!". The damage does not increase past the first Pistol, however. Mista may unload his entire cylinder at once. Any Pistol that has redirected a bullet will return to Mista after he stops firing. This move can be used while in mid-air.
Get back here!: Mista recalls any of the Sex Pistols that are in use with "Time to get to work!" or "Places, everyone!".
Gonna light you up!: Mista fires a shot, with the attack button inputted changing the trajectory. If the bullets are fired normally, unassisted by Sex Pistols, they deal insubstantial amounts of damage. If "Time to get to work!" is active, the next bullet he fires will have homing capabilities and do many times more damage. Should any bullet happen to come in contact with a Pistol deployed with "Places, everyone!", it will automatically be redirected toward the opponent. Mista may unload his entire cylinder at once, resulting in the sixth shot knocking the opponent down, although any subsequent shots after the initial one cannot be enhanced through Sex Pistols, merely tacking on small amounts of damage. This move can be used while in mid-air, and can also hit a downed opponent.
Reload: Mista reloads his revolver once he's out of ammunition, but not before.
Quick Reload: Consuming half a bar of the Heart Heat Gauge, Mista can instantly reload by dropping the ammunition from his hat into the cylinder. This skill can be used whether or not his revolver is empty.
I'll ask the damn questions!: Mista leaps forward in a flying knee attack, knocking the opponent off their feet. If Light or Medium is inputted, this move can activate Rush Mode. If Heavy is inputted, the move has a short delay but becomes a middle attack that cannot be blocked if the opponent is crouching. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)
Throw - Devastating Knee Kick: Mista holds the opponent as he knees them in the torso, before kicking them away.
Mista's Unlucky Number 4 remains in the game: Every time Mista is hit when his Ammunition Icon shows four bullets, he loses an amount of his Heart Heat Gauge proportionate to the damage taken as a panel of his face visibly panicking appears. This effect will continue until his bullet count changes.
Mista's HHA, “Aim! Aim, you idiots!”, has him shoot a singular bullet, which is followed and broken into seven pieces by all six of the Sex Pistols kicking it. The pieces are launched at the opponent (similar to his attack on Sale) in a fanning formation, dealing more damage the closer the opponent is. Stand Users can potentially be hit twice if they have their Stand out in an attack, taking double damage, but the Stand must be hit first with the User following immediately afterward in order for this to occur. The HHA also reloads Mista's ammunition.
Mista's GHA is “My true resolve starts here!”, Mista fires his entire cylinder as Sex Pistols carry the bullets toward the opponent with homing capabilities. If any one of them hits, Mista will Quick Reload and unleash another whole cylinder, each bullet being redirected and ricocheted by Sex Pistols multiple times as they hit the opponent from different angles. The GHA finishes with the final bullet being kicked by all six at once through the opponent's forehead at an incredible speed. It has the added effect of reloading Mista's ammunition.
Alongside the rest of Team Bucciarati (sans Narancia) and Ermes Costello, Mista is one of the only characters who activate Resolve Mode instead of the normal Rumble Mode when low on health. In this state, attacks that do not result in hard knockdowns or blow-backs no longer phase the character.
If Mista is fighting against Polnareff, they will have special dialogue, where Mista asks if the young Polnareff is the same wheelchair-bound man who becomes a turtle, while Polnareff merely wonders aloud if Sex Pistols is similar to Hol Horse's Emperor. Mista also has special dialogue with Hol Horse himself, wherein Hol Horse decides to see which one of the two is the faster gunman, a challenge that Mista accepts. If Mista wins, he'll note how funny of a guy Hol Horse is. If Hol Horse wins, he'll note that, unlike Mista, his bullets are also part of his Stand.
Mista was confirmed for the game alongside Giorno, Fugo, and Narancia. Since most character animations & GHA's are reused from All Star Battle, he retains most of the same attack patterns as previously. However, as a result of the transition into full 3D arena combat in Eyes of Heaven, Mista is able to use the environment more freely to his advantage, utilizing his Stand's capacity for bullet control to a much more advanced degree than what was possible within the 2.5D combat system of ASB.
As a Stand User, Mista is one of many characters with wildly varied abilities that grant him uniqueness in battle. Mista does not have Normal Attack combos. Instead, his Normal Attacks have him fire his bullets at targets. Similar to All Star Battle, Mista has an Ammo Icon above his health gauge, displaying his current bullet count out of 6. If he is out of ammo, the icon will have the word "RELOAD" flashing over it, and any attack or skill that would cause him to fire bullets instead causes him to Load his revolver, inserting each bullet individually.
Quick Reload: If Mista reloads while guarding, he will instantly reload his revolver by dropping the ammunition from his hat into the cylinder. This skill can be used whether or not his revolver is empty.
Pistols Icon: A display above his Ammo Icon shows how many and which of the Sex Pistols are readily available for use. Skills that assign the Pistols to different tasks cause the respective members' icons to darken, signifying that they're currently in play. Certain skills that drain Mista's stamina gauge will instantly recall all Pistols back to him once the gauge empties. Unlike in All Star Battle, Mista may have different members of Sex Pistols performing different tasks at a given time, granting better control over all of his different abilities.
Trait - Only four bullets left?! That is such bad luck!: If Mista is attacked while he's reloading, a panel of his face visibly panicking appears. For a period of time, Mista may only hold up to 4 bullets in his Ammo Icon, and he takes increased damage.
Style Action - Could you wait until our job is finished to take a nap?: Mista attaches one of the Sex Pistols to a bullet, granting that bullet homing capabilities when fired. If the Style Action button is held, Mista can recall any of the Sex Pistols that are in use with his skills.
Pass, pass, pass!: Mista sends one of the Sex Pistols to hover around opponents, either his target if he is locked on, or the nearest opponent otherwise. If Mista's bullets hit that opponent, any of the Pistols attached to that opponent will join in and ricochet the bullets through them multiple times, carrying them into the air and greatly increasing the damage done by a single shot. Mista's stamina gauge drains while this skill is active. He can have Pistols attached to both opponents at once. The more of Sex Pistols that are attached to a single opponent, the greater the damage dealt per shot, but the faster the stamina gauge depletes. This skill also allows Mista's bullets to bypass projectile-reflecting abilities, due to the bullets' rapid attacking, as well as hitting from multiple angles such as from behind them where most projectile-reflectors are vulnerable.
Sex Pistols!: Mista fires a bullet with weak homing capabilities by default, either at his target or the nearest opponent. The skill may be repeatedly inputted to fire more shots. If any of the Sex Pistols are active via "Places everyone!", he will instead attempt to fire at the nearest one.
Places, everyone!: Mista deploys one of the Sex Pistols in the air, keeping them in that spot. If a bullet fired makes contact with them, or if Mista manually fires at them via "Sex Pistols!", they will ricochet the bullet towards his target, or to the nearest opponent otherwise. The bullet's redirected path is determined via the best route to the target (from the Pistol closest to Mista to the one closest to the target), rather than attempting to pass it between all active Pistols like in previous games. This allows Mista to shoot opponents without requiring direct line-of-sight and greatly reduces the likelihood that uneven distribution or placement of the Pistols can unintentionally disrupt his bullet path. Mista's stamina gauge drains while this skill is active, and the more of Sex Pistols that are deployed at once, the faster the stamina gauge depletes.
EX - Pass, pass, pass!: Mista gains super armor until the skill activates, and all remaining Sex Pistols are attached to an opponent at once.
EX - Sex Pistols!: Mista gains super armor until the first shot is fired, and his Ammo Icon will instantly refill if he has no ammunition left before firing, without requiring him to reload at all. Mista may continue firing after the initial shot.

My Stand's more of the silent-killer type.: Mista must survive the first 20 counts of the battle timer without taking damage. (500 Points)
Every other number is a good number!: Mista must win the battle without "Only four bullets left?! That's such bad luck!" ever activating once. (800 Points)
Dual Heat Attacks
Solo - My true resolve begins here!: Identical to its performance in All Star Battle, though executes faster for the sake of brevity.
With Giorno - True resolve!!: Mista, claiming that his true resolve has just begun, aggressively fires away at the opponent, each shot getting redirected by Sex Pistols multiple times to hit them at different angles. Giorno subsequently appears and jumps high into the air until he is directly above the opponent. Following up on Mista's statement by telling him that true resolve "isn't about self-sacrifice", Giorno proceeds to stomp down on the target several times with Gold Experience, the final kick hitting with the impact to launch him off and create a shockwave. Both attacks are references to the two's battle against Ghiaccio.
With Narancia - I'm gonna send you flying!: Mista unloads an entire cylinder at the opponent, each bullet carried by Sex Pistols and kicked into them at different angles; Narancia follows up by having Aerosmith unleash an extended barrage of machine-gun bullets into the opponent, turning upward to spear and carry them into the air as it's ridden by the Pistols. Performing a somersault, Aerosmith ends the attack by firing at the airborne opponent from above and sending them crashing into the ground while Sex Pistols cheer.
Mista is given an alternate costume. The costume is based on the flashback from his teenage days before joining Passione, wearing a more casual outfit consisting of a beanie, a T-shirt with an open button-up shirt over it, and saggy jeans.
He is paired with Giorno in the Eyes of Heaven Tournament, defeating Rohan Kishibe and Polnareff in the first round, and "Kosaku Kawajiri" and Weather Report in the second. In the semifinals, they are defeated by Bucciarati and Trish in the first round.

Détails
Dans les 10 meilleurs personnages préférés de Hirohiko Araki en 2000, Mista s'est classée septième, étant le quatrième personnage de la «Partie 5» sur la liste derrière Bucciarati, Giorno et Diavolo.
La tétraphobie de Mista est liée à une croyance culturelle de l'Asie de l'Est, dont le Japon, selon laquelle le chiffre quatre porte malheur; cette croyance provient des mots pour «quatre» et «mort» étant des homophones dans les langues de ces parties de l'Asie. Cela s'étend même à Sex Pistols qui encourage Mista à ne pas tirer avec son arme lorsque son revolver ne contient que 4 balles.
Lors de sa première apparition, son pantalon n'a pas de rayures et il a un pagne autour de sa taille au lieu d'une ceinture. Cependant, sa ceinture peut être vue à la page suivante.
Selon Araki, on soupçonne que le pantalon en cuir à rayures zébrées de Mista rompt la Convention de Washington, un traité international pour la protection des plantes et des animaux menacés.[1]
