**Pannacotta Fugo** is a major character from *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind* and the main protagonist of the spin-off novel *Purple Haze Feedback*. He's a member of Bucciarati's gang who wields the stand known as **Purple Haze**, later on evolved to **Purple Haze Distortion**.

Although he serves as a major ally to Giorno Giovanna and the gang, Hirohiko Araki was originally planning to have him be revealed to be a spy working for Diavolo, thus betraying the gang and becoming an antagonist.

In the anime adaptation and in *All Star Battle R*, he was voiced by Junya Enoki and Ezra Weisz in the english dub. In the PS2 game *GioGio's Bizarre Adventure*, he was voiced by Hiroaki Miura. In *All Star Battle* and *Eyes of Heaven*, he was voiced by Hisafumi Oda.

## Biography

Fugo was a child prodigy born from a wealthy family who boasted a 152 level IQ. Due to his intelligence, Fugo managed to attend university at age 13, where he would be convicted and arrested for assaulting a teacher with a encyclopedia in one of his anger outbursts (in the anime adaptation, the professor was said to be a pedophile who lusted after Fugo on at lease one occassion). After his parents disowned him, Fugo started living in the streets, commiting petty crimes to survive, until he came across Bruno Bucciarati, who admitted him into his team. After passing Polpo's lighter test, Fugo becomes a stand user and a member of the mafia gang, Passione.

Although not much is known about the exact circumstances, Hirohiko Araki, the author of the manga, has gone on record to say that in his original plans for the storyline of *Golden Wind*, one of the members of the gang would be revealed to be an undercover spy working for Diavolo who would, later on, betray Bucciarati's gang, mirroring the betrayal of Judas Iscariot against Jesus Christ and the Apostles. Out of all the members of Team Bucciarati (with the exception of Giorno, Trish and Bucciarati himself), Araki eventually settled on Fugo to be the traitor. His original plan for this arc would include a fight between Fugo and Giorno, that would end with Giorno killing Fugo.

Despite all of these plans, Araki ultimately scrapped this subplot for a variety of reasons. The mangaka thought that Fugo's death at the hands of Giorno would be too dark for the younger readers of the magazine and possibly leave a bad impression. He also said to have been in a bad place mentally during the writing of the part, presumably because of personal issues, and having to write Bucciarati be betrayed by a dear friend would likely upset him deeply. Because of this, he eventually settled on Fugo abandoning the gang due to conflicting morals instead, ultimately writing him off the story. This, however wouldn't be the end for his character, as he would make an appearance in the light novel *GioGio's Bizarre Adventure II:* *Golden Heart, Golden Ring*, set after his resigning from Bucciarati's team and later on, star on his own light novel called *Purple Haze Feedback*, set after the events of *Golden Wind*.

## Trivia

* Although the betrayal storyline was abandoned, it is still referenced in some of Fugo's interactions in the video game *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle*.
* It is heavily speculated that the infamous "7 page muda", in which Giorno kills the villain Cioccolatta in a beatdown that lasts for 7 whole pages was originally intended to be delivered to Fugo in his supposed fight against Giorno. This is theorized due to the similarities between Cioccolatta and Fugo's stands as well as the fact that it would make sense for Giorno to give such a harsh punishment for someone he once considered a friend that went on to betray his trust. This theory, however, was never confirmed.
