Narancia Ghirga (ナランチャ・ギルガ, Narancha Giruga) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initical 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, Narancia's Stand, Aerosmith, is localized as "Li'l Bomber", carried on from it first official usage in All-Star Battle.
Replacing Yūko Sanpei, Daiki Yamashita reprises his role as Narancia's voice actor from the Golden Wind anime adaptation. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Narancia were either added or re-recorded.
Narancia has 850 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Aerosmith. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Vento Aureo.
Narancia slides forward and slashes upward with his knife.
Attack type: High Damage: 23
Standing Heavy Attack
ON GROUND
Narancia steps forward and kicks straight out.
Attack type: High Damage: 35

Crouching Medium Attack
+ ON GROUND

Attack type: Low Damage: 37
Jumping Light Attack
IN AIR OK
Narancia kicks at a downward angle while airborne.
Attack type: Middle Damage: 18
Jumping Medium Attack
IN AIR OK
Narancia stabs directly below himself with his knife while airborne. Because Narancia stabs straight down, this attack will not hit aerial opponents unless they are below him.
Attack type: Middle Damage: 28
Jumping Heavy Attack
IN AIR OK
Narancia briefly summons Aerosmith to shoot four bullets at a downward angle. Because of how disjointed and short-lived the hitbox is, this normal can only hit an aerial opponent four times. Only a maximum of three bullets will hit on grounded ones, with only two hitting being more likely.
Attack type: High Damage: 10 × 4 (40)
Style/Specials/Etc. [Stand Off] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Stand On/Off (スタンドON/OFF, Sutando ON/OFF)
ON GROUND
Switches between User Mode and Stand Mode. Doing so summons or dismisses Aerosmith, changing the skills Narancia has access to.
You bastard!
+ ON GROUND
Narancia steps forward and performs a high kick that launches the opponent into the air. A command normal that can chain into Narancia's skills. (Comboable)
Attack type: High Damage: 50
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード, Gogogo Mōdo)
Activates when under 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Narancia falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.
Skills [Stand Off] (コマンド技)
You're not going anywhere!
+ //ON GROUND
Narancia delivers a straight punch while simultaneously using his arm as a runway to summon Aerosmith, which shoots a volley of bullets forward. The bullets fired by this attack only travel a very short distance before expiring. When using the and variants, Narancia will slide forward a small distance. The distance both he and Aerosmith move as well as the number of hits increases in order, but the greater the increase, the more vulnerable Narancia becomes. This skill can activate Rush Mode. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Because of the disjointed hitbox of the bullets, the last two hits of the variant can often miss when used in neutral.
Aerosmith is summoned to shoot at an upwards angle, functioning as a reversal and anti-air. If struck, the opponent is lifted into the air and held there by the bullet volley until it ends. Repeatedly tapping the attack button extends Aerosmith's shooting time, increasing the attack's number of hits and total damage. The number of hits possible increase in order, but the greater the increase, the more vulnerable Narancia becomes. If using the variant, the skill can be Flash Canceled and comboed off of. If using the or variants, the skill will have invulnerability, allowing for it to be a good, but very punishable if whiffed or blocked since they cannot be Flash Canceled, reversal option.
Attack type: High Damage: 52 ~ 76 / 76 ~ 100 / 100 ~ 124 (depending on number of hits)
I don't need bullets to kill you!
+ //ON GROUND
A command Throw. Narancia summons Aerosmith to fly straight forward a distance. If it connects with the opponent, Aerosmith shreds them with its propeller as Narancia takes the chance to run up to them and jump-kick them high into the air. The distance Aerosmith travels and its travel speed increase in order, but the greater the increase, the more vulnerable Narancia becomes. (Flash Cancel Comboable)

IN AIR OK
Aerosmith shoots two bullet out while airborne. While there are two bullets visually, this attack will only hit once.
Attack type: High Damage: 6
Jumping Medium Attack
IN AIR OK
Aerosmith shoots a barrage of six bullets out while airborne. The attack does not stop Narancia's momentum, and as such, the bullets will be shot from wherever Aerosmith is at the moment. This results in the bullets not all coming out at the same height. Because of this, it is not possible to hit grounded or crouching opponents with the entire barrage.
Attack type: High Damage: 3.5 × 6 (21)
Jumping Heavy Attack
IN AIR OK
Aerosmith performs an aileron roll, hitting the opponent multiple times as it does. While the attack can hit up to six times, it will only hit grounded opponents two or three times.

Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード, Gogogo Mōdo)

Skills [Stand On] (コマンド技)
Attack!
+ //ON GROUND
Narancia orders Aerosmith to fly a distance forward, placing it into a position ready to attack. The attack button inputted determines how far Aerosmith travels before stopping. If it hits the opponent, it will deal damage and push them back. This skill has a variety of different follow-up skills that can be chained together up to three times in a looping series of attacks, plus three possible finisher skills to end the series at any time; The follow-up attacks are determined by directional buttons (minus ) for standard skills, and attack buttons for finisher skills. This effectively gives the player direct control over Aerosmith until the series ends. However, as Aerosmith is being controlled, Narancia himself is stationary and vulnerable.
Every time a new skill in the series is executed, Aerosmith will always readjust its aim towards the opponent, automatically correcting its orientation should they have Sidestepped/Dodged it in order to once again send the attacks in their direction. This ability and every possible follow-up is a Stand Rush skill that Narancia can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing.
Attack type: High Damage: 13
I'll shoot!
(During "Attack" loop) ON GROUND
A standard skill that continues the "Attack!" loop. Aerosmith performs an upward loop and shoots downwards from a high angle.

Perfect timing!
(During "Attack" loop) ON GROUND
A finisher skill that ends the "Attack!" loop. Aerosmith advances straight forward while shooting bullets before hitting the opponent with its propeller if close enough. If the propeller attack hits, the opponent will be launched into the air. (Flash Cancel Comboable)
Attack type: High Damage: 10 × 4 + 12 (52)
I know how to waste you!
(During "Attack" loop) ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
A finisher skill that ends the "Attack!" loop. Aerosmith swiftly flies backward, positioning itself low to the ground before flying quickly forward, launching the opponent into the air with its propeller if it hits them, even if they are downed when hit. It then performs a looping aileron roll before quickly orienting itself back towards the opponent. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Attack type: Low Damage: 60
I'm gonna kill you!
(During "Attack" loop) ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
A finisher skill that ends the "Attack!" loop. Aerosmith performs a loop maneuver and drops a bomb towards the ground, generating an explosion that deals damage and launches the opponent. The bomb's fire that lingers for a short moment is still able to damage the opponent if they step in it, launching them. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Attack type: Middle Damage: 60
I'll make you swiss cheese!
+ //ON GROUND
Aerosmith is sent to shoot a volley of bullets outward. The button inputted changes the angle the bullets are shot at. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Light (): Aerosmith shoots its volley at a downward angle.
Medium (): Aerosmith shoots its volley at a slight downward angle, almost straight out, with the bullets spreading out as they travel.
Heavy (): Aerosmith shoots straight out as it performs an aileron roll and travels upward. These bullets will disappear after traveling a moderate distance.
This is a Stand Rush skill that Narancia can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing.
Aerosmith travels forward, performing a loop maneuver and dropping a bomb towards the ground. If it hits the ground it will generate an explosion that deals damage and launches the opponent. The bomb's fire that lingers for a short moment is still able to damage the opponent if they step in it, launching them. Unlike with "I'm gonna kill you", the bomb can hit the opponent as it travels towards the ground, preventing the bomb's fire from lingering on the ground. The distance forward Aerosmith travels to drop the bomb increases in order. A Stand Rush skill that Narancia can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing. (Flash Cancel comboable)
Attack type: Middle Damage: 60
Shoot, shoot, shoot it up!
+ //ON GROUND
Aerosmith loops back around a long distance, crumpling the opponent if it hits them, before firing off a volley of bullets forward, knocking the opponent off their feet upon connecting. The amount of damage dealt increases in order, but the greater the increase, the more vulnerable Narancia becomes. (Flash Cancel comboable)
2 ATK buttons near opponent or ( to back-throw) ON GROUND
Narancia relentlessly kicks the opponent multiple times, with the final kick sending them flying. If a back-throw was performed, Narancia will grab the opponent and swing them around to the other side of himself before kicking them away.

I'll make it even bigger!
+ 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
Narancia sends out Aerosmith to carpet bomb the whole area in front of him with a series of five dropped bombs. The attack knocks the opponent off their feet, dealing more damage the closer they are (as they are struck by more of the bombs) and knocking them a long distance away from Narancia. This HHA does not require an initial hit to connect in order to work, and will not stop until it finishes. This HHA can also hit a downed opponent.
Attack type: Middle Damage: 180
Volare Via
+ 3 ATK Buttons or ON GROUND
Narancia commands Aerosmith to attack as it swoops low to the ground in an attempt to knock the opponent off their feet. If the attack is successful, Aerosmith will start hailing the opponent with an extended volley of bullets from below, carrying them high into the air. Narancia war cries "VOLAVOLAVOLA!!!" during the assault for a prolonged period, before shouting "Volare via!". On cue, Aerosmith finishes the attack by dropping a bomb on the falling opponent that generates a massive, point-blank explosion.
Attack type: High Damage: 330 / 395 / 495 (depending on HH gauge)
Assist System (アシストシステム)
Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト, Asaruto Ashisuto)
ON GROUND
A two-stock assist. Narancia lands in and summons Aerosmith to shoot a volley of bullets at an upward angle. If hit, the opponent will be lifted into the air and held there until the volley ends, launching them away after. Narancia then dismisses his Stand and poses before jumping back-off screen.
Attack type: High Damage: 52
Reversal Assist (リバーサルアシスト, Ribāsaru Ashisuto)
ON GROUND
A one-stock assist. Narancia jumps into the opponent as Aerosmith shoots the opponent away. He then dismisses his Stand and poses before jumping back-off screen.
When hitting a jumping opponent, this normal will now cause a soft knockdown rather than basic hitstun that the enemy will automatically recovery out of.
Standing Heavy Attack
ON GROUND
Narancia moves significantly farther than he does in All-Star Battle when kicking.
Crouching Medium Attack
+ ON GROUND
Narancia now moves forward before attacking.
Style/Specials/Etc. [Stand Off] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
You bastard!
+ ON GROUND
The input for this command normal has changed. Previously it was in place of . It also launches on hit now rather than only causing basic hitstun.
Skills [Stand Off] (コマンド技)
You're not going anywhere!
+ //ON GROUND
Narancia now slides forward a short distance when using the and variants. Additionally, all variants of this skill deal significantly more damage than their All-Star Battle counterparts.
I'll shoot you through!
+ //ON GROUND
This skill no longer pushes the opponent away from Narancia, instead holding them in place in the air while they are hit by the barrage of bullets. This makes it much easier to Flash Cancel and combo off of. However, the and variants can no longer be Flash Canceled. The variant has lost its invincibility as well. Furthermore, all variants deal significantly more hits, resulting in the damage being higher, especially on the variant.
I don't need bullets to kill you!
+ //ON GROUND
The distance Aerosmith flies forward now varies based on which attack button is inputted, which results in the variant's range being significantly shorter and the variant's being longer. This change also affects Aerosmith's travel speed as the duration of the skill is comparable. Additionally, the translation of this skill's name has changed. Previously it was "Don't shoot if you ain't got the stones!" in place of "I don't need bullets to kill you!".
Normals [Stand On] (通常技)
Standing Light Attack
ON GROUND
Aerosmith now quickly moves down before it shoots, leading to the bullets traveling forward at a lower height, though the move still remains a High. This makes it more difficult to hit aerial opponents now. The bullets also do not travel as far as they did in All-Star Battle before disappearing. As a trade-off, the attack does not have as much pushback now.
Standing Medium Attack
ON GROUND
Aerosmith now quickly moves down before it shoots, leading to the bullets traveling forward at a lower height, though the move still remains a High. This makes it more difficult to hit aerial opponents now. The bullets also do not travel as far as they did in All-Star Battle before disappearing. As a trade-off, the attack does not have as much pushback now.
Standing Heavy Attack
ON GROUND
Aerosmith flies a farther distance forward while attacking, giving this attack more range. It also can hit up to six times now instead of only three.
Crouching Light Attack
+ ON GROUND

Jumping Heavy Attack
IN AIR OK
This attack can hit up to six times now instead of only three times, though these extra hits can only be connected on aerial opponents.
Skills [Stand On] (コマンド技)
Attack!
+ //ON GROUND
The input for this skill has changed. Previously it was in place of . The variant also travels a significantly greater distance forward than it did in All-Star Battle. However, the variant now travels a significantly shorter distance. Furthermore, this skill now has a hitbox that deals damage and pushes the opponent back. Also, if the input for a follow-up skill in the loop is held, it will now repeat itself rather than having to be inputted multiple times.
I'll shoot!
(During "Attack!" loop) ON GROUND
The Style button () no longer needs to be held while this skill is executing to shoot. Aerosmith's loop is slightly different now as well, as instead of moving forward when it loops upward, it now loops almost straight up. This causes Aerosmith to drop to a position that is farther away from where it started once this skill completes. This isn't too much of an issue if Aerosmith ends up behind the opponent, but if this skill is used when Aerosmith in front of them, then the later skills in the loop after this one are less likely to hit due to the increased distance. Also, this attack is no longer the highest damaging skill in the loop, now being the lowest.
Now's my chance!
(During "Attack!" loop) ON GROUND
The input for this skill has changed. Previously it was in place of . The Style button () also no longer needs to be held while this skill is executing to shoot. Additionally, this skill is no longer the lowest damaging skill in the loop, now being the middle damaging one of the three.
Gonna send you flying!
(During "Attack!" loop) ON GROUND
The Style button () no longer needs to be held while this skill is executing to shoot. This skill is also now the most damaging skill in the loop, with its damage being significantly higher than it was in All-Star Battle.
Perfect timing!
(During "Attack!" loop) ON GROUND
This skill is now a finisher for the loop rather than one of the skills that can be looped up to three times. It also now launches the opponent if Aerosmith's propeller hits them, allowing this skill to be comboed off of if Flash Canceled.
I know how to waste you!
(During "Attack!" loop) ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
The input for this skill has been changed. Previously it was in place of . The skill can also hit downed opponents now, launching them into the air and allowing Narancia to continue his combo on them by Flash Canceling. Furthermore, Aerosmith's travel distance while attacking has increased significantly.
I'm gonna kill you!
(During "Attack!" loop) ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
The input for this skill has been changed. Previously it was in place of . The skill is also now a Middle rather than a High. Futhermore, the bomb can no longer hit the opponent, with only the explosion actually having a hitbox. As for the explosion itself, it now launches opponents into a hard knockdown (the same hit effect the bomb hit used to have) rather than causing a groundbounce. Additionally, this skill can now hit a downed opponent.
I'll make you swiss cheese!
+ //ON GROUND
The input for this skill has changed. Previously it was in place of . The bullet pattern for all the variants is also different. The variant now shoots at a downward angle rather than straight out. The variant's bullets don't stay as grouped together as they did in All-Star Battle. The is largely the same, but the last couple shots shoot at a more of an upward angle.
Blast off!
+ //ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
Aerosmith now will drop its bomb farther forward the stronger the attack button inputted. Additionally, the explosion now launches opponents into a hard knockdown (the same hit effect the bomb has) rather than causing a groundbounce. Furthermore, this skill can now hit a downed opponent.
Shoot, shoot, shoot it up!
+ //ON GROUND
This skill is now its own skill rather than being part of the "Attack!" loop. As such, its input has changed from to + //. This also means that it has three different variants instead of only having one. Additionally, this skill is now a High rather than being Unblockable.
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ)
I'll make it even bigger!
+ 2 ATK Buttons
ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
This attack is now a Middle rather than a High. It also can hit up to six times rather than five, though Aerosmith still only visually drops five bombs.
