Pannacotta Fugo (パンナコッタ・フーゴ, Pannakotta Fūgo) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer,[1] this time as part of the base roster.
His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, although 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.
Fugo's Stand, Purple Haze, is localized as "Purple Smoke" in the English versions of the game, carried on from its debut in All-Star Battle.
Replacing Hisafumi Oda, Junya Enoki reprises his role as Fugo's voice actor from the Golden Wind anime adaptation. Enoki also replaces Hisao Egawa as Purple Haze. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Fugo were either added or re-recorded.
Fugo summons Purple Haze to perform a crouching uppercut that hits twice and lifts the opponent upwards. This move is useful for continuing combos off of ground bounces.

Fugo lunges forward in a shoulder tackle. A command normal that can chain into Fugo's skills. (Comboable)
Attack type: High Damage: 15
Purple Haze Distortion
+ 3 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
(<20% health)
When in Resolve Mode, Fugo can evolve Purple Haze into Purple Haze Distortion without needing to spend Heart Heat executing his GHA. He calls out for Distortion as he grits his teeth and Purple Haze suddenly transforms. Distortion is permanent and will remain with Fugo for the rest of the match. Appearance-wise, Purple Haze Distortion loses its purple irides, back spikes, cape, codpiece, knee and elbow pads, and boots. As Distortion, the performance of Fugo's skills is enhanced, primarily in Stand ON. He also takes greatly reduced damage from the Homicidal Virus, while his opponent inversely takes much more total damage at a faster rate. Fugo's Capsules are completely reloaded upon evolving his Stand into Distortion. This move can be used as a unique cancel exclusive to Fugo.
Homicidal Virus
Passive
An unblockable purple cloud that inflicts gradual damage over time for a set period, with a character's health gauge turning a purple color to signify the infection. Fugo will also suffer from its effects if he comes into contact with the cloud. It is summoned when one of Purple Haze's six Capsules are broken or Fugo uses his HHA.
Capsule Icon
Passive
Exclusive to Fugo are six icons that display how many of Purple Haze's Capsules are available. Certain attacks will release Purple Haze's Homicidal Virus and change one of these icons, indicating that a Capsule has been used. The Capsules may only be reloaded after Fugo activates Purple Haze Distortion, uses his HHA or GHA, or at the start of a new round.
Resolve Mode (覚悟モード, Kakugo Mōdo)
Activates when under 20% health
This mode is automatically activated once Fugo falls below 20% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises. He also gains armor during the start up of all his normal attacks and skills.

If it connects, he follows up by grabbing the opponent by the neck with his other hand and slamming them into the ground hard enough for them to bounce, leaving them in a hard knockdown state directly in front him. The speed of the attack increases in order, although this also increases the vulnerability.

Friend or foe!
+ //ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED

Purple Haze unleashes a wild barrage of punches, sending the opponent flying a short distance upon the final hit.

(Flash Cancel comboable) With Purple Haze Distortion, the number of punches thrown and total damage dealt is increased.

2 ATK buttons at close range or (Rear throw with ) ON GROUND

Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ)
Attack like an explosion... and retreat like a storm!
+ 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
Purple Haze flies out in a tempestuous flurry of punches, before delivering a final straight punch that breaks open a Capsule and releases the Homicidal Virus. Fugo himself states that Purple Haze attacks like it's about to explode, and retreats like a storm. This HHA will restore up to 3 Capsules on activation (the Capsule broken during the attack itself is not consumed).
Attack type: High Damage: 206
Resolute Eyes
+ 3 ATK Buttons, or ON GROUND
Facing away from his opponent, Fugo claims that he's made a decision worth betting everything on, before he turns around and reveals a Capsule between his teeth. He forcefully bites down to crush the Capsule and blows the Homicidal Virus cloud forward. If they are hit, the opponent will cover their face and scream in agony as they begin rapidly melting from the Virus; A camera shot of their skin breaking down and dissolving is shown. Purple Haze Distortion, releasing all of its rage, begins to violently beat them, spreading the Virus into their system even more. The Stand finishes the attack by unleashing a spinning punch that sends the opponent flying as they're completely eradicated. If Purple Haze has not already evolved into Purple Haze Distortion, executing this GHA will automatically do so, regardless if the attack successfully connects or not. This GHA also completely reloads Fugo's Capsules.
Of note is that Fugo's use of a Capsule between his teeth to unleash the viral attack references his first demonstration of Distortion's power during his final battle against Massimo Volpe in Purple Haze Feedback, while Distortion's violent follow-up assault is in reference to the battle with Illuso at the same time. Along with Funny Valentine's GHA, Fugo's is the only special move to alter the contrast of the screen (resulting in a more black and white combination of colors to add more intensity to the special, and obscure the sight of his opponent dissolving).
Attack type: High Damage: 346 / 415 / 519 (depending on HH gauge)

She's using someone's jacket as a handkerchief... How rude!

—Fugo
“
I'm missing my handkerchief, so go buy me one. Oh, and new stockings and some mineral water. And it'd better be French. I'd die before I drank any other kind.
Fugo's theme is Real Trust (真実の信頼, Shinjitsu o Miteiru Me), and can be unlocked in-game by using the "Purple Haze Distortion" special in All-Star Battle Mode's Fugo vs Narancia Ghirga Normal Battle.
Fugo's Theme
Its name is in reference to Fugo's inner thoughts regarding how he feels about Giorno Giovanna in Chapter 46 of Vento Aureo after Giorno manages to save the group from the mirror world and cure himself of the Purple Haze Virus, his thoughts being "My trust in him is something that can't be expressed in mere words!"
A character in Part 5: Vento Aureo. His Stand is Purple Haze. He is a gentleman by nature, but becomes violent and uncontrollable when enraged. Unable to follow Bucciarati after he betrays the boss, he withdraws from the group at San Giorgio Maggiore.[3]
His Stand is Purple Smoke. He is a gentleman by nature, but violent when enraged. Unable to follow Bucciarati after he betrays the boss, he withdraws from the gang in San Giorgio Maggiore.
The Stand of Pannacotta Fugo. It attacked by releasing a homicidal virus from six capsules mounted on both of its fists. Anyone infected by the virus will rot and die within 30 seconds, including Fugo himself. The Stand itself only expresses Fugo's violent side, and therefore shows little intelligence.
Panacotta Fugo's Stand. Attacks by spreading homicidal viruses from 6 capsules on its fists. Causes victim to rot to death in 30 seconds. The Stand itself only exhibits Fugo's violent side, and is therefore none too bright.
