Enrico Pucci is a fictional character from the Japanese manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. He is the main antagonist of Part VI: Stone Ocean.
Synopsis
Early Life
Pucci grew up with a wealthy upbringing and was well-liked by everyone. However, his disfigurement of a foot haunted his life, a stumbling and near impossible limp that had followed him throughout his life. Raised as a Catholic, he found only solitude in the halls of his church already on the path of priesthood at the age of fifteen, an action allowed by his parents due to his family's religious history. One day while sweeping the floors, he stumbled upon Dio Brando's feet underneath a table. Curious, he conversed with Dio and though alarmed when he grasped his twisted foot, thought nothing of it. It wasn't until he removed his shoe that he notice his foot had been healed.
Around the same time, his sister, Belladonna, fell in love with a part time worker, Wes (Weather Report). Furious that that man may harm his sister, Pucci set his eye on getting rid of Wes as soon as possible. Not soon afterward, a woman, broken with tears, came to the confessional booth, pleading to be heard. Choosing to listen in the absent priest's place, he heard how this women had switched her sickly baby with another family's twin. When he asked what the family name was, he was shocked to discover it was Pucci. He also learned that the man his sister was dating was actually his long-lost twin.
Infuriated, he secretly hired the assassination of Wes via a group of KKK hooded-like men, claiming that he didn't want incest to infest his family name. Unfortunately, at the time of the attack, Wes was still in the company of Belladonna. Wes was shot and hung from a noose over a cliff while Belladonna was beaten and raped. The morning afterward, she kissed Wes -whom she believed to be dead- one last time and plunged to her death down the cliff. Surprised and in disbelief, Pucci cradled her body and was startled to see a disk from her head. That was because the Arrowtip that creates Stands was sent to him from Dio (despite being broad day light). Interestingly, Wes' life was also saved by said Arrowtip. He wanted to follow Dio, enticed by his words, but not before tying up all the loose ends to his past. He approaches the post traumatic Wes, quickly told him they were brothers, and removed Wes' memory disk from him. Wes adopted the name Weather Report to compensate for not having a name.
He spent the remainder of that year with Dio. From him he learned the "ingredients" needed to formulate the "perfect world" (one of which bizarrely included a danish). Dio grew to trust Pucci entirely, and gave him one of his finger bones as a remaining fragment should he die.
The remaining years of his life was driven by his obsession of this promised land and waited for the preparation of the said day. To increase his mobility, he finished his priesthood and became a Father to those in need.
Stone Ocean
Pucci eventually did recreate his universe, in which every person received precognitive abilities for the purpose of accepting their fate. However, the only obstacle that remained in his way was Emporio, who he chases throughout the Green Dolphin Street Prison of his alternate universe, eventually cornering him in his ghost room. However, Pucci inadvertently pushes the Weather Report stand disc into Emporio, who instinctively manages to make use of its ability to increase the concentration of oxygen in the room, poisoning Pucci with the oxygen overdose and incapacitating him. Pucci begs for his life, saying that his ideal world for humanity's happiness would be ruined, but is finally killed by Emporio. His universe then resets into an alternate timeline, in which Jolyne and company meet up coincidentally.
Personality
He may be a priest but his mind is wicked. He'll willingly lie and use people for his own personal gain. Underhanded tactics are not beneath him--he'll do anything he can to win. One noticeable incident occurred when he fought a wounded Jolyne, handcuffed by her Stand, and locked both of them into a solo fight. Unable to win against her Stand's attacks, he throws Jotaro's memory disk inside a slowly dying Anasui's body. As a person's stand and memory disk dies with the person they are inside if not removed, the disk begins to disintegrate while within Anasui. This instantly forces Jolyne to choose between stopping Pucci's plans or the restoration of her father.
He acts humble at times when he's a priest, but ultimately it is just to draw others under his spell. His individual session with Mirashon turns violent, for example, after he has granted her God's forgiveness, smashing her face-first into the edge of a cabinet. Only when he was in Dio's presence was he ever truly docile.
Interestingly, his own persona seems separate from his original stand, Whitesnake. While its master is ruthlessly bent on his mission, his Stand will sometimes act indifferently and will seem to question its master (though it never vocalizes its thoughts and never disobeys his orders).
Pucci also had the tendency to count prime numbers during times in which he is frustrated or otherwise irritated, as prime numbers could only be divisible by one and itself.
Trivia
- He is the only know person in the Jojo universe to have fuse his stand with someone else forming a more powerful one, that being the Green Baby and Whitesnake to make C-Moon.
- He is one of the three characters in the series to obtain the Joestar birthmark without having been integrated into the bloodline, the others being Dio (from taking Jonathan's body) and Weather Report (from Pucci's integration of the Green Baby into his system).
- He is allergic to shellfish.
