All-Star Battle R ★ Prosciutto & Pesci
Prosciutto & Pesci (プロシュート&ペッシ, Puroshūto & Pesshi) were revealed as a new playable duo for All-Star Battle R on August 24, 2022, during the game's Part 5 Reveal Trailer.[1] However, Prosciutto was accidentally revealed earlier via an early screenshot posted to the game's official website on the day the game was announced, showing only Prosciutto's name and a part of his HUD portrait among an Arcade Mode list.
Having neither previously appeared in All-Star Battle nor Eyes of Heaven, they have an original moveset based on their appearance in Vento Aureo.
In the English versions of All-Star Battle R, Prosciutto's Stand, The Grateful Dead, is localized as "Thankful Death"; and Pesci's Stand, Beach Boy is localized as "Fisher Man". Both are carried on from All-Star Battle and VIZ's English publications of the manga.[3]
As Prosciutto's voice actor for the Golden Wind anime, Tatsuhisa Suzuki reprises his role in this game, replacing Takuma Terashima who voiced the character in All-Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven. Likewise, Subaru Kimura reprises his role as Pesci, replacing Shinya Fukumatsu.
Gameplay
Prosciutto & Pesci have 1000 health and use the Bro and Mammoni (兄貴と
is pressed, Prosciutto can turn Pesci "on/off", summoning and dismissing him to make use of Beach Boy. Therefore, Prosciutto's The Grateful Dead is his default moveset mode, dismissing it whenever Pesci is summoned.
Prosciutto also has a three-meter Aging Gauge mechanic, contributed by moves marked with a star (☆), debilitating the opponent depending on how full the gauge is.

ON GROUND While in Stand OFF, Pesci with Beach Boy becomes active to aide Prosciutto. Skills involving him can only be performed if he is in a ready position (i.e. behind Prosciutto). As he acts separately, Pesci will continue performing his skills even if Prosciutto is attacked; Inversely, he himself can be struck by the opponent directly to interrupt his moves, even if Prosciutto isn't hit. Of note is that all of Pesci's attacks will bypass melee-based counter abilities due to his being independent of Prosciutto.
- The Aging Gauge will passively drain on its own at a steady rate. It will drain slower while the opponent is moving or attacking. If the gauge runs out, it will reset to Lv 0 regardless of current level.
- The Aging Gauge will drop by 1 level if Prosciutto is successfully knocked down.
- The Aging Gauge will immediately be reset to Lv 0 if Prosciutto is struck by a GHA.
The Aging Gauge begins at "Lv 0", and eventually progresses all the way to Lv 3, or "Lv MAX". Each level inflicts an additional status ailment on the opponent.

ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED If it connects, Pesci begins a relentless assault with his Stand, its hook rapidly attacking the opponent by passing through multiple areas of their body as they're slowly strung up by the line. With one forceful yank, Pesci reels the opponent in and launches them flying at high speed towards Prosciutto, who summons The Grateful Dead to intercept with a powerful overhand punch to instantly knock them to the ground. Prosciutto moves to stand over the opponent, slowly pulls out Mista's revolver while stating La Squadra Esecuzioni's modus operandi, and finishes the attack by discharging three gunshots directly into their head.
This GHA deals a relatively high amount of Guard damage, allowing it to more readily break through the opponent's defense and connect even if they successfully block it.

Commemorative Giveaway
In commemoration of the release of Risotto Nero as the 1st paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Vento Aureo badges,[5] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[6] The badges in question contain the ASBR render images of Ghiaccio, Prosciutto & Pesci, and Risotto respectively, titled the "Assassionation Team (暗殺者チーム, Asashin Chīmu)".
The campaign started on October 28, 2022, and lasted until November 13 at 11:59pm JST. To enter the giveaway lottery, users only had to:
- Follow the @jojo_games_jp Twitter account.
- Retweet the tweet that announced the giveaway in the first place.
However, Twitter accounts set to private were illegible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users illegible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts caused all of those accounts to lose their eligiblity to win.[6]
The giveaway was directly implemented by Bandai Namco themselves, with no third party involvement, and the winners of the giveaway were notified via Twitter DMs. Said winners were then announced sometime in December, 2022.[6]
