Ghiaccio
Ghiaccio (ギアッチョ, Giatcho) is a tertiary antagonist featured in the fifth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Vento Aureo, specifically the "White Album" story arc.
Ghiaccio is a member of La Squadra Esecuzioni who chases Giorno Giovanna and Guido Mista near Venice with his cryogenic ice-generating Stand, White Album.
Appearance
Ghiaccio is a man of below-average height and slim to medium build.
His light hair clings to his head in a low number of large spirals, and he wears a pair of thick-rimmed glasses with round hinges marked with a "W" that are distinct to look at while in his full-body Stand suit.[3] Ghiaccio also keeps a blouse buttoned at the side of the chest and a band patterned pants. In the manga, he wears brown leather fingerless gloves, while the anime attaches them to his suit and makes them white.
Ghiaccio wears his Stand, a light-colored, full-body suit, for the majority of his feature.
Color Schemes
Personality
Ghiaccio is a crass and irritable assassin, obsessed with idioms and pursuing his mission.
Wielding the dangerously powerful ice-based Stand, White Album, Ghiaccio is confident in his abilities and becomes incredibly irritated when challenged. Unlike the rest of his teammates, Ghiaccio openly confronts Giorno and Mista alone (having assumed the rest of the team was nearby too) and even openly monologues his plans out loud.[4] Conversely, when the two of them fight back, Ghiaccio doesn't hesitate to taunt them or ridicule their attempts, such as when he tells Mista to jump into the water to see whether he can really outpace White Album's freezing ability.[5] Ghiaccio still commends Mista for putting up such a fight, and states that he's earned his respect.[6]
Although he is prideful, Ghiaccio is conscious about his weaknesses and has devised plans to alleviate his need to have an air hole on White Album. If the need presents itself, Ghiaccio is able to freeze the air to counter against projectiles and cover the air hole.[7] Moreover, Ghiaccio is a quick-thinker, able to change the dynamic of a battle in his favor. For instance, when he is nearly impaled on a spike, Ghiaccio uses his own flowing blood to create pillars and support himself.[8]
He has a fixation with language, expressing annoyance at the confusing wording of various metaphors as well as how foreign languages do not respect Italian words, such as spelling "Venice" in English instead of "Venezia".[9] During these fits of anger, Ghiaccio becomes so unnerved he begins to sweat out of wrath and freaks out by punching anything nearby or dramatically waving his arm.[10]
Abilities
Stand
Ghiaccio's Stand is White Album. It acts as an almost impenetrable full-body suit with ice skate-like blades on its feet. It also has the power to almost instantly freeze objects and the air around him.
Ghiaccio is able to activate the second phase of his Stand, known as White Album Gently Weeps. During Gently Weeps' duration, Ghiaccio produces temperatures around roughly -210 degrees Celsius, impressively close to the point of absolute zero.
History
Background
Ghiaccio was a member of La Squadra Esecuzioni, a team of nine assassins working within Passione. However, the team was frustrated they only received compensation for each kill while the rest of the gang was getting rich from the drug trade. One day their teammates Sorbet and Gelato disappeared while they were trying to investigate the Boss's past. They found Gelato choked on a gag in his house, with a piece of paper on which was written the word "punishment". Later, the team received the sectioned body parts of Sorbet encased in formaldehyde, showing the team the power of the Boss. They despaired of ever finding about the Boss. However, they then heard about Trish Una, and thought that she would be the key to discovering the Boss's Stand ability. The team rebelled and began searching for her. Just after Trish was taken in by Pericolo, La Squadra Esecuzioni ransacked Donatella and Trish's apartment in search for clues, missing a crucial picture of Donatella that was taken by the Boss himself.
The anime adaptation expands a bit on Ghiacchio's past. Two years prior to the events of Vento Aureo, Ghiacchio was already part of La Squadra Esecuzioni. He tells Melone that he considers them to be the best group in Passione, and thinks the group should be paid more.
Vento Aureo
Contacted by Melone, who reveals that Team Bucciarati is on a parking lot south of Rome, Ghiaccio drives over to their supposed location and discovers he is too late to confront the group. Swearing to find the group no matter what, he briefly gets angrily at the nonsensical expression used to say this. At the same time, he hears Melone being killed on the phone. Regardless, Risotto Nero later runs some computer analysis on Pericolo's items and discovers that Bucciarati's group is headed toward Venice.
Ghiacchio finds Giorno and Mista manages to sneakily jump on their car's roof, hiding for a while. Using White Album, he surrounds himself in a thick, bulletproof layer of ice and begins to lower the temperature of the car. By the time Giorno and Mista notice, Mista's face is stuck to the window because of the cold. Ghiacchio makes himself known and Mista shoots, but Ghiaccio is protected by his ice. He even manages to trap some of Sex Pistols. Ghiaccio then goes on a rant, demanding that foreigners call Venice by its proper Italian name, "Venezia". Ghiaccio remains confident but then Giorno and Mista combine their abilities. Mista shoots bullets touched by Gold Experience and the bullets turn into roots, breaking through the ice and making Ghiaccio fall onto the road.
However, Ghiaccio then summons White Album as a suit around him and begins to skate to catch up to the car. Ghiaccio's armor is also bulletproof but then Sex Pistols slip bullets into his skate blade, making him trip. Ghiaccio freezes the trail of humidity left by the car and pulls himself towards it. When Mista prepares to unload his gun again, Ghiaccio opens the trunk, crawls through it and grabs Mista to freeze his firing hand and break it. Interrupted by a pummeling from Gold Experience, Ghiaccio's armor is merely cracked. Desperate, Giorno drives into the sea, telling Mista to escape to their objective. However, Ghiaccio creates a long stretch of ice in an instant, taunting Mista and daring him to swim. As Ghiaccio freezes the car again, Mista has Giorno create tundra grass and makes a board out of it, sliding on the ice to reach his objective. Ghiaccio is forced to cancel his ice for the moment and swims towards Mista.
Ghiaccio punches the water and traps Mista in ice, but Giorno and Mista work together again. They manage to drive a great screw into Ghiaccio's helmet and Mista shoots further into it, making the hitman sink for a moment. When Ghiaccio resurfaces, Mista mysteriously shoots some fishes, making Ghiaccio turn his head; Mista then shoots a bullet into the airhole on the back of his neck. However, Ghiaccio reveals his technique: White Album Gently Weeps. He freezes part of the air solid and makes the bullet bounces back at Mista.
Ghiaccio reaches the ground and searches the area. He eventually finds an OA disc inside of the lion statue near Santa Luca station. Ghiaccio approaches Mista to fight him but then Giorno sprays some of his blood in their direction, making the weaknesses in Gently Weep's barrier appear. Mista uses rebounds and hits inside of Ghiaccio's neck again, but Ghiaccio reveals another layer of protection. He has sealed his airhole and stored frozen air inside of his suit, allowing him to breathe. The bullets bounces back at Mista, but the gunman covers his helmet with blood. Mista unloads his gun in Ghiaccio's face. Ghiaccio trips on a spike created when Mista's bullet hit a metal lamppost, and Ghiaccio understands the danger. Mista repeatedly shoots Ghiaccio in the face, pushing him further into the spike but then Ghiaccio freezes his blood solid, reinforcing the support. Sure of his victory, Ghiaccio makes a last bullet rebound into Mista's forehead.
However, the bullet wound heals. Giorno appears and finishes off Ghiaccio by having Gold Experience repeatedly kick him into the spike. Ghiaccio's throat is impaled and the hitman dies.

Video Games
GioGio's Bizarre Adventure (PS2)
Ghiaccio appears in GioGio's Bizarre Adventure as the enemy character faced in Chapters 6-1 and 6-2 of Super Story Mode.
Chapter 6-1 tasks the player with defending the car Giorno is driving from Ghiaccio for two minutes. The player must keep Ghiaccio from coming too close, as he will charge at the car to deal damage.
During Chapter 6-2, the player faces Ghiaccio in a traditional battle. Most attacks toward Ghiaccio will be blocked from the front, requiring the player to deliver them from behind him. Due to his skates, Ghiaccio cannot make slight turns and instead must turn in a wide trajectory to face his target: when his trajectory lines up with the player, Ghiaccio will charge at them. In addition, Ghiaccio can freeze the ground to create ice crystals, either as a short-range attack in six directions or as a long-range homing attack in one direction. Both of these attacks leave Ghiaccio open for a counterattack, unless Ghiaccio activates White Album Gently Weeps: while Gently Weeps is active, Ghiaccio can reflect bullets shot at him from any direction. Gently Weeps does not reflect Purple Haze's thrown capsules, Polnareff's sword launch attack, or any non-projectile attacks.

All-Star Battle R
Ghiaccio was officially announced as a playable character on August 24, 2022 along Trish Una and Prosciutto & Pesci, during the game's Part 5 Reveal Trailer.
He also once again appears as an explanatory character, this time in the game's "JoJo Glossary".
Command List
ON GROUND Ghiaccio can instantly create or melt away White Album's ice armor, altering his available abilities. He gains faster movement speed and increased jump distance while White Album is active.
/ 
(hold to extend duration) STAND ON GROUND Ghiaccio can ice skate at high speeds by freezing the ground in front as he moves, allowing him to quickly advance in both forwards and backwards directions.
This makes him one of the only six characters in the game capable of running in the opposite direction, the others being Joseph Joestar (both versions), Iggy, and Hol Horse, and Shigekiyo Yangu.
+ 
STAND ON GROUND Ghiaccio performs a short leaping kick, bouncing the opponent off the ground. This is a middle attack that cannot be blocked crouching, and a command normal that can chain into Ghiaccio's skills.
+ 
STAND ON GROUND Ghiaccio dives into a sliding kick, moving a considerable distance forward and launching the opponent into the air. This is a low attack that cannot be blocked crouching, and a command normal that can chain into Ghiaccio's skills.
+ 
// ON GROUND TRAP Ghiaccio conjures a small ball of frost in front of himself with both hands, slowly inching forward and striking the opponent multiple times (Flash Cancel comboable). The attack button inputted determines how long the frost lasts, with higher strength buttons causing it to linger in the air for a few seconds
If spaced well, Ghiaccio can use the attack as a delayed projectile or trap. (Comboable)
+ // ON GROUND A command Throw. Ghiaccio reels back his hand before reaching forward with it covered in freezing ice. If he touches the opponent, they'll be briefly frozen, leaving them crumpling and vulnerable to attack. The attack button inputted determines the damage of the attack, inversely affecting Ghiaccio's recovery speed afterward if the skill fails. (Comboable)
+ (costs 1/2 HH) ON GROUND This skill can only be performed once Ghiaccio guards an incoming attack (known as a 'guard-cancel' skill). Expending 1/2 of a bar of Heart Heat, he instantly encases himself in a thick layer of ice, pushing the opponent back a moderate distance. This allows Ghiaccio to defensively repel the opponent away from himself, interrupting many forms of offense.
+ // ON GROUND Ghiaccio strikes the ground, causing a series of ice spikes to erupt in a forward wave. If the opponent is caught, they'll be knocked into the air. This attack deals significant chip damage (or damage dealt through a successful guard). The attack button inputted determines the range of the attack, inversely affecting the skill's start-up length and recovery speed. (Flash Cancel comboable)
+ // IN AIR OK WHEN DOWNED While in mid-air, Ghiaccio freezes the air below himself to generate a small ice projectile, then vaults off of it in a double-jump as it drops straight below. The falling projectile is a middle attack that cannot be blocked crouching, and can also strike a downed opponent. The attack button inputted determines the direction of Ghiaccio's leap:
- Light (): Ghiaccio leaps backwards during the attack, allowing him to attack and retreat from the opponent in a single maneuver.
- Medium (): Ghiaccio leaps straight upwards during the attack.
- Heavy (): Ghiaccio leaps forwards during the attack, allowing him to cross large forward distances in mid-air and possibly switch to the opponent's other side before landing.
+ // ON GROUND TRAP Ghiaccio touches the ground with his freezing power, causing a layer of ice to generate and cover the ground in a forward wave. If the opponent touches the furthest ice sheet, they'll be momentarily frozen and left crumpling, vulnerable to attack. The attack button inputted determines the range of the skill, with the ice sheet remaining on the ground as a trap at its maximum distance. (Comboable)
ON GROUND Ghiaccio grabs the opponent and begins delivering repeated body blows with one fist, the final punch knocking them to the ground.
+ 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND Ghiaccio activates White Album Gently Weeps, causing floating crystals of frozen air to surround him. The stock of Heart Heat spent becomes a draining timer, canceling the ability upon depleting.
While Gently Weeps is active, Ghiaccio will counter all non-GHA strike attacks upon guarding them, causing any melee strikes to freeze the opponent and leave them crumpling, open to attack. Guarding against non-HHA/GHA projectiles also reflects them, as they are bounced between the floating ice crystals before firing back at the opponent. However, Ghiaccio must remain in Stand ON for the duration of this HHA and cannot deactivate his ice armor; Upon deactivation, he will briefly release the ability and his ice armor in exhaustion, leaving him vulnerable and switching him to Stand OFF.
As HHA can be universally canceled into from most attacks including skills, this gives Ghiaccio a means to extend combos by chaining into its activation, instantly canceling an attack not unlike a Flash Cancel and allowing him to continue his offense from there.
+ 3 ATK Buttons, or 
ON GROUND Ghiaccio brags about White Album's ability to freeze anything in the world as he emits a dense mist of frost that scatters in front of himself, lasting for some time. If it connects, the opponent is frozen over, allowing him to begin his infamous, longwinded soliloquy about city names in different languages while speaking nonchalantly:
He points out how non-English languages pronounce "Paris" without the "s" sound as it would be pronounced in French, but then notes that non-English languages use "Venice", the English term, instead of "Venezia".
Ghiaccio's calm demeanor abruptly breaks and he starts relentlessly and viciously punching his frozen-solid opponent, feeling grievously insulted by the inconsistency and demanding people use the Italian term. At the height of his fury, he reels back his fist, calls the opponent a dumbass, and delivers one final punch to shatter their frozen body to pieces.
Upon activation of this GHA, Ghiaccio will automatically switch to Stand OFF before attacking; If he attempts the attack while White Album Gently Weeps is active, the HHA will immediately cancel and the Heart Heat spent will be lost.
Novels
JORGE JOESTAR
In the light novel JORGE JOESTAR, an iteration of Ghiaccio lives in the 37th universe, appearing similarly to his original universe counterpart. He is not actually mentioned in the novel by name but he is drawn in an illustration.
Nero Nero Island, where the base of Passione is located, suddenly grows legs and starts moving through the ocean headed toward Morioh. Some ordinary citizens panic and attempt to escape at the island's harbor. Ghiaccio, Cioccolata37, Secco37, Prosciutto37, Pesci37, and Melone37 ambush and murder them. Secco's Evil Dead conceals the harbor, making their actions invisible to those within the island, such as Bruno Bucciarati37. One man manages to escape and tries waving desperately toward Morioh for help before he is killed as well.
The Mafia members move the bodies out of sight by dropping the bodies in the water between the boats, or by tossing them into the tall grass by the side of the road to the harbor. Nero Nero Island suddenly crashes into the barrier surrounding Morioh and flips upward. Its propulsion causes it to tear through the barrier and lands into Morioh Harbor. Cioccolata and the others start firing bullets and rocket launchers at random civilians and houses in Morioh, attempting to shoot Jorge Joestar as well when he runs by underneath them. The mafia members then jump off the island and head to Budogaoka gymnasium with several weapons.[11]

Trivia
- One of Ghiaccio's rants includes his annoyance at the Japanese phrase, nehorihahori (根掘り葉掘り), meaning "thoroughly". The phrase is defined by its first half, nehori (根掘り), which translates literally to "root digging", the implication being that something is not done "thoroughly" until the roots are pulled out. The nonsensical second half of the phrase, hahori (葉掘り), meaning "leaf digging," is added to create a euphonious Japanese wordplay (i.e. "digging up the roots and leaves") and is generally not taken literally like Ghiaccio is doing.
- In Crunchyroll's official subtitles for the anime, Ghiacchio's rant is instead directed towards the phrase "taking a leaf out of someone's book", in which "leaf" refers to a sheet of paper, rather than an actual plant leaf. Similarly to the Japanese version of his rant, Ghiacchio's anger still stems from him taking a piece of figurative language literally, while preserving the reference to leaves. Finally, in the English dub of Golden Wind, Ghiaccio instead rants about the expression "think outside of the box".
- The French dub has Ghiaccio rant about the expression "remuer ciel et terre", which literally translates to "(to) move heaven and earth", and is an idiom for "making every effort" or "using all sorts of means to achieve the goal one has in mind."
- Ghiaccio's voice actor in All-Star Battle, Tatsuhisa Suzuki, later voiced Prosciutto, another member of La Squadra Esecuzioni in the TV anime.
- In a 2018 poll on the official app for scary Part 5 characters, Ghiaccio won seventh place. He also won second place in a 2019 poll for enemies with the most impressive defeats.
