Bruno Bucciarati (ブローノ・ブチャラティ, Burōno Bucciarati) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1]
His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay tweaks that All-Star Battle R brought.
In the English version of All-Star Battle R, Bucciarati's Stand, Sticky Fingers, is localized as "Zipper Man", carried on from its first official usage in All-Star Battle.
Replacing Noriaki Sugiyama, Yuichi Nakamura reprises his role as Bruno's voice actor from the Golden Wind anime adaptation. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Bruno were either added or re-recorded.
