FuGio is the ship between Pannacotta Fugo (パンナコッタ・フーゴ *Pannakotta Fūgo*) A former ally of team Bucciarati, and Giorno Giovanna (ジョルノ・ジョバァーナ *Joruno Jobāna*) the main protagonist of Part 5. They are both from Vento Aureo, the fifth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

## Popularity:

FuGio is quite popular, mainly with people who read the light novel Purple Haze Feedback. It has a wide range of content online such as fanart, fanfiction, edits and more . On A03 FuGio is currently sitting at 1679 Fanfics while the #fugio tag on Instagram has over 5000+ posts.

## First seen in:

In the Man in the Mirror arc, where Fugo, Giorno and Abbacchio are sent to Pompeii to retrieve a key. When Fugo is attacked and taken into the 'mirror world' by Illuso, Abbacchio decides that their main priority is to look for the key, whereas Giorno disagrees and believes that they must figure out where Fugo went first to ensure that their other teammate is safe.

During the end of the arc, Fugo and Giorno team up to take down Illuso together, Fugo using his stand, Purple Haze, and Giorno using his stand, Gold Experience, by creating a snake that tracked Illusos' location. Once Illuso has been successfully defeated, whilst Giorno writhes from the serum inserted into his blood, Fugo looks back on Giorno and believes that he is trustworthy and loyal. Fugo declares his 'utmost respect' for Giorno, and is also the first (besides Bucciarati) to trust Giorno.

Also, many shippers see it happening in the ending scene from (non-canon) light novel Purple Haze Feedback.

### Here are some reasons why people like this pairing:

* The parallels between Fugo and Giorno (Life/Death.) A lot of Fugio shippers enjoy the parallels between their stands, Fugos representing death and destruction, while Giornos represents life and regrowth.
* They play off each other. For example, Giorno's more calm demeanor balances Fugos more fiery temper. Another example could be that Giorno is more impulsive and initiative with his plans, whereas Fugo considers the loopholes and the negatives in his plans before acting them out.
* Both have a love for knowledge. Fugo is extremely intelligent and Giorno is keen on becoming more knowledgeable so together they make a pretty good pair.
* Giorno is more idealistic and Fugo is more realistic, this creates an interesting dichotomy between them!
* Are both good at analyzing and strategizing. They both try to think what is the best for their group!
* The ending scene of Purple Haze Feedback.
* They both have experiences from their past (trauma) they can relate to. It can also be considered that they both had complete different upbringings - from Fugos life in aristocracy to Giornos life in poverty - yet they shared similar experiences and inevitably ended up in the same place; the mafia.

People most of the time ship this because of Purple Haze Feedback but others may also ship them from the Man in the Mirror arc. They don't interact much in Golden Wind but it's more that their personalities work really well together, which make them a more popular ship as you can really dive into their relationship with their personalities.
