El Equipo Bucciarati (ブチャラティチーム, Bucharati Chīmu), también llamado Squadra Guardie del corpo (護衛チーム, Goei Chīmu, "Equipo de Escoltas" o "Equipo de Guardaespaldas"),[1] es un escuadrón en Passione cuyos miembros son todos usuarios de Stand.
Son los aliado principales del protagonista Giorno Giovanna en la quinta parte de la serie JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Vento Aureo.
Resumen
El Equipo Bucciarati es un equipo de 6 gangsters pertenecientes a la pandilla Passione. Como la gran parte de Passione, son todos hombres y Usuarios de Stand. Lo que hace único al Equipo Bucciarati es que Bucciarati construyó su equipo con basuras de la sociedad, conociento a cada uno de sus miembros en los puntos mas bajos de su vida y tomando un rol activo en apoyarlos. Como tal, son un grupo muy unido, tanto por camaradería como por su respeto al liderazgo de Bucciarati. Giorno Giovanna es la única excepción, habiendo convencido a Bucciarati de permitirle ser parte de la pandilla.
La principal actividad del Equipo Bucciarati es proteger su territorio asignado y recolectar el dinero que los restaurantes y el puerto pagan por protección, un trabajo que se les daba excelentemente considerando la popularidad de Bucciarati. Se muestra que la gente lo saluda alegremente por las calles, y al mismo tiempo Bucciarati escucha sus pedidos de ayuda, por ejemplo habiendo enviado a un hombre a investigar la muerte de una mujer para darle una forma de darle un cierre a este evento a su padre. Se afirma también que realizan "trabajos de pandilla" serviles.
Tras entregarle el Tesoro de Polpo a Pericolo, Bucciarati fue promovido al rango de capo, obteniendo todos los territorios y negocios bajo la gerencia de Polpo. De todas maneras, el equipo no tiene tiempo para disfrutar de su nueva posición ya que les fue dada la misión de proteger a Trish Una, la hija del Jefe. Arreglándoselas a pesar de que La Squadra Esecuzioni los haya perseguido por toda Italia, Bucciarati logra entregarle a Trish al Jefe, solo para enterarse de que este planeaba matarla. Enfurecido, Bucciarati se rebela y la mayoría de su equipo lo sigue.

Historia
Trasfondo
Bruno Bucciarati se unió a Passione en 1990, y formó su equipo con el pasar de los años.
En dos puntos en el pasado, Bucciarati reclutó a Pannacotta Fugo, quien fue expulsado de la universidad, y Leone Abbacchio, un policía destituido.
La adaptación al anime le agrega más información a ambos reclutamientos. Bucciarati conoció a Fugo en el restaurante Libeccio cuando un Fugo vagabundo intentó de irse sin pagar por su comida, solo para ser atrapado, pero luego explica que la ley lo vería como un caso de necesidad. Impresionado, Bucciarati escuchó su historia y le pidió que se una a su equipo, asegurándole que sus ataques de ira se convertirían en una característica positiva. Emocionado, Fugo se volvió el primer subordinado de Bucciarati.[2] En un momento, Bruno escuchó sobre Leone Abbacchio y le dió una chance al expolicía de tener una nueva vida. Abbacchio luego aceptó.[3]
Pannacotta Fugo luego conocería a un Narancia Ghirga desventurado, y se lo presentó a Bucciarati. Bucciarati luego hizo que cuiden de Narancia y que curen su enfermedad del ojo. Ver a estos dos hombres tratarlo como un verdadero humano a pesar de ser desconocidos, Narancia decidió trabaajar para Bucciarati. Aunque Bucciarati se opuso a que se uniera a Passione, Narancia conoció a Polpo por su cuenta e ingresó a la pandilla.
En el año 2000, Bucciarati escuchó de un tal Guido Mista que se vio involucrado en un tiroteo. Viendo potencial en el adolescente y sabiendo que Mista, siendo una persona tan correcta, no podría sobrevivir en la cárcel, se encargó de que lo liberen y recluten en la pandilla.
Esclavos Durmientes
El 29 de Marzo de 2001, el destino del equipo fue sellado. Un florista le pidió a Bucciarati que investigue el asesinato de su hija. Bucciarati le dió el trabajo de investigar a Mista. Mista luego se encontró al escultor Scolippi y a su Stand Rolling Stones el cual predijo la muerte de Bucciarati. Mista se las arregló para romper la piedra pero lo que no sabía la Pandilla, era que predijo las muertes de Bucciarati, Narancia y Abbacchio. Al mismo tiempo, la tarea de Bucciarati era encontrar a quien había asesinado a Luca.
Conociendo a Giorno y El Tesoro de Polpo
Bruno Bucciarati luego conocería a Giorno Giovanna, quien fue responsable por la muerte de Luca. Con las órdenes de deshacerse del muchacho, una pelea surgió, pero Giorno hizo un trato con Bucciarati, quien se oponía a que la pandilla venda drogas en las calles. Bucciarati se puso de acuerdo con Giorno para dejarlo infiltrarse en Passione pero no lo ayudaría directamente, especialmente si era atrapado. Giorno Giovanna luego fue admitido en la pandilla, y mató al superior directo de Bucciarati, Polpo. Giorno ahora era parte del equipo de Bucciarati, y había una posición disponible para un capo.
El equipo se dirigió a Capri para así tomar un tesoro que escondió Polpo, derrotando a Mario Zucchero y Sale, miembros de una pandilla rival, en el camino.
Pudieron darle varios miles de millones en gemas al caporegime Pericolo exitosamente, por lo que Bucciarati fue promovido al rango de Capo, pero Pericolo inmediatamente le dio una tarea que en realidad iba a ser para Polpo hasta que murió.
Protegiendo a la Hija del Jefe
The team was assigned to Trish Una's protection and escort as she was the Boss' daughter, and they hid in the countryside for several days. However Formaggio of Squadra Esecuzioni, a team of assassins gone rogue, tracked Narancia and a violent fight ensued. While Formaggio was killed, the collateral damage would attract the other assassins, resulting in the Boss assigning Bucciarati another task.
The team was to retrieve an item in Pompeii. Giorno, Fugo and Abbacchio were sent, and retrieved a key while killing Illuso. The gang then headed to Naple's train station to take a train toward Florence. A turtle named Coco Jumbo was given to the gang so that its Stand Mr.President would help hide them. However the duo Prosciutto and Pesci managed to find them, and though both were killed by Bucciarati, they managed to stop the train and inform the assassin Melone of their whereabouts.
The team hitched a ride for a time until Mista knocked the driver out, forcing them to stop in a parking. Giorno suggested that they steal a car, and in order to confuse the assassins, transformed several cars into frogs to make it look like several cars were stolen. At the same time the gang was hijacking a car, Melone's Stand Baby Face almost managed to kidnap Trish and incapacitate Bucciarati, but Giorno managed to defeat the Stand and remotely killed Melone with a venomous snake. The gang was now free to roam.
The Boss then asked Abbacchio to rewind events inside the turtle, reenacting Pericolo's last instruction to retrieve a disk in Venice's train station before committing suicide. While the team would go to the city with a boat, Giorno and Mista were sent to retrieve the disk, and defeated together the assassin Ghiaccio. The disk contained the Boss' last instruction to the gang: head to the San Giorgio Maggiore island and have one person deliver Trish to the top of the belfry. Bucciarati accompanied Trish, but the Boss revealed his secret motive to kill her, an action which outraged Bucciarati. He rebelled openly and fought the Boss, however King Crimson's time erasure was an invincible power and Bucciarati barely escaped with the assistance of Giorno, dying but revived by him. Bucciarati then announced his rebellion to the rest of his subordinates, and though all were terrified, they joined Bucciarati in his rebellion save Pannacotta Fugo.
Rebelling against the Boss
Still in Venice, Trish advised the gang to head to the island of Sardinia, where her mother encountered the Boss. They were then attacked by Squalo and Tiziano, however Narancia, with help from Giorno, defeated both Stand users. The group stole a jet and headed to Sardinia, but they were attacked by Carne's Stand Notorious B.I.G.. It proved invincible but the gang was saved by Trish who awakened her own Stand Spice Girl, and they reached Sardinia safely.
The Gang investigated La Costa Smeralda, where the Boss had taken a photo of Trish's mother, and Abbacchio's Moody Blues rewinded time to discover the Boss' face. However the event's age meant that it would take time to reach it. Bucciarati and Narancia were lured away by an attack, while Giorno and Mista looked over Trish. When Bucciarati came across a child tied up and with his clothes stolen, he realized too late that Abbacchio was left alone and defenseless, as he was killed by the Boss. Fortunately, his death was not in vain as the gang uncovered a mold negative of the Boss' face and handprints. While their search for any data concerning him was fruitless, it caught the attention of a third party which revealed the Boss' name: Diavolo, and proposed to meet in Rome so they would be given an Arrow able to unlock a power greater than that of King Crimson and able to defeat it. The group, despite initial skepticism, accepted the proposition and headed to Rome, followed by Diavolo himself.
As they reached the coast, the team confronted Cioccolata and Secco, two Stand users reluctantly sent by Diavolo who proved more than a match for them, incapacitating Narancia and forcing Trish to stay behind. In Rome, the group had to split up, Giorno and Mista defeating Cioccolata, and Bucciarati Secco. Both teams suffered massive wounds, with Bucciarati's body beginning to fail him as an undead. He fatefully met Doppio, Diavolo's split personality and was tricked into believing it was Trish, since he could only see people's souls, Trish's and Doppio/Diavolo's being extremely similar as family member. Diavolo would then use the opportunity of escorting the dying Bucciarati to the Colosseum and confronted the gang's ally, revealed to be Jean Pierre Polnareff, and although Polnareff was killed after a short fight, he used the arrow on himself. The newly awakened Stand Chariot Requiem put everyone in Rome to sleep once active.
The gang awakened, realizing that their souls, along with the entire population of Rome, were switched. Initially believing that Diavolo was in Bucciarati's body, they instead killed Doppio, and Diavolo killed Narancia in retaliation without anyone knowing how. The gang then followed Chariot Requiem into the streets of Rome to find a way to retrieve the Arrow from it, accompanied by Polnareff who was now in Coco Jumbo's body. Giorno realized that Diavolo was possessing one of them, but Diavolo hijacked Mista's body, having managed to find Chariot Requiem's weakness, and almost managed to take the Arrow. However, with help from Trish, Bucciarati sacrificed himself finishing off Chariot Requiem, forcing everyone's soul back in their bodies before Diavolo can use the Arrow.
Giorno, with newfound resolve from Bucciarati's spirit before it passed on, seized the Arrow, and used it to evolve his Stand into Gold Experience Requiem. Using its invincible ability, GER nullified King Crimson's power and Diavolo was promptly and finally defeated. With Giorno Giovanna and Guido Mista the only ones surviving the encounter, they went on to become Passione's next leaders, allowing Giorno to fulfill his dream of becoming a Gang-Star and changing the Italian mafia for the better.
