History

Fugo was born into a wealthy family in the suburbs of Naples. He performed extremely well in his studies, having boasted an IQ of 152. At the age of 13, Fugo had already entered a university to study law, although he had a poor relationship with his professors. At some point, he beat one of the professors using an encyclopedia. From that point onward, Fugo's life grew worse and worse until he joined Bruno Bucciarati's gang. The anime adaptation expands on his background. Due to his high intellect, his parents put a large amount of pressure on him to excel in his studies, the stress of which caused Fugo to develop his violent temper. At one point he almost attempted to stab his own father in the back before stopping himself. Later in his life, during his time in university, Fugo was looking for study materials in the school library. One of his professors approached him and attempted to seduce him, possibly a second time. Despite Fugo asking that he ceased, the professor continued to urge him, even offering to reveal the questions to his next test. Having finally been pushed past his breaking point, Fugo flies into a rage and relentlessly beats the man with an encyclopedia. Fugo was arrested for the assault and became the target of gossip among the other students. Although his parents kept him from going to prison, they disowned him and left him on his own. Fugo began living on the streets, committing petty crimes such as shoplifting and pick-pocketing to survive. Ironically, this lifestyle allowed him to make full use of his genius, and he utilized his knowledge of the law to keep himself out of trouble. One day, when Fugo was caught attempting to dine and dash, he caught the eye of the gangster Bruno Bucciarati who was impressed by his knowledge of the law.

History, continuation

After Fugo relays his life's events to Bucciarati, he is offered a position in Bucciarati's gang, as a member of a team he planned on building. Fugo initially declined, feeling that his temper would be too volatile to work with anyone, even going so far as to claim he could kill Bucciarati himself. However, he was ultimately convinced by Bucciarati's promise to find a use for his temper. After taking Polpo's test and developing Purple Haze, Fugo formally joined Bucciarati's team. One day, Fugo came across a hungry and diseased boy named Narancia Ghirga digging through trashcans for food. While Narancia didn't expect much from the stranger, Fugo would bring him to a restaurant in order to be fed, much to the gratitude of the older boy. However, Fugo did not know that this action would lead Narancia to try to join his gang as a result of the encounter. Eventually, the two end up on the same team, and Fugo becomes a teacher figure to Narancia, while at the same time being trusted as Bucciarati's second-in-command. One day the team was visited by a florist , After doing a background check, Fugo introduced Bucciarati to the florist who had a personal vendetta. The florist claimed that his daughter had been killed by her boyfriend, the sculptor Scolippi, and sought revenge. Simultaneously, the team received a request to investigate the recent attack on "Leaky-Eye" Luca]. Fugo drove Mista to Scolippi's apartment to look into the matter, but Mista's increasing paranoia concerned Bucciarati. Consequently, Bucciarati decided to follow Mista while assigning Fugo the task of investigating Luca's case. Fugo left briefly but returned after Mista left his tape recorder behind. A bizarre incident occurred when Mista unexpectedly landed on the car's roof, resulting in Fugo's confusion and injury. Ultimately, Bucciarati took it upon himself to investigate the attack on Luca.

Personality

Pannacotta Fugo is a serious and caring but easily enraged youth. Fugo has a very caring personality, as shown in his past when he brings a young Narancia, who was suffering from hunger and from an eye disease, into a restaurant and asks Bucciarati to give him food[5]. He even continues to greatly care for Narancia, tutoring him[6] and acting protective of him at times. Fugo is usually a friendly member of the group, easily mingling with the turbulent Mista and Narancia[7], being the first to greet Trish Una[8], and openly acknowledging Giorno's ability and greatly praising him after their fight together. However, once upset Fugo is quite hotheaded and violent. It is stated that he dropped out of school because he bashed his teacher with an encyclopedia[10]. He was also shown to violently stab Narancia with a fork and slam his head over a table when the latter made a basic mistake[6] and jabbing him in the stomach with keys when he repeatedly restated orders incorrectly[11]. His Stand, when shown to be belligerent, is said to reflect this aspect of his personality[12]. The anime adaptation expands upon this, showing that Fugo was mentally unstable because of the pressure of his parents to achieve the highest academic grades, containing violent or even murderous impulses during his entire youth. Fugo only became openly angry at a lecherous teacher and has never since tried to solve his anger issues.[13] Fugo is also a very intelligent and serious member. Though he did indeed drop out of school in the end, it still stands that his academic ability allowed him to enter university level at the age of only 13[10]. During Team Bucciarati's bodyguarding mission, he was one of the most cautious and would frequently advise for the safer option. When presented with the choice to stay with Bucciarati's group and betray the Boss or leave and seek safety, Fugo deserted the group, having resigned to the logical reasoning of the group inevitably having to battle The Boss.
