| ~ Secco while fighting Bucciarati. |
Secco is a minor antagonist in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. He is a member of Diavolo's Guard Squad, along with his master Cioccolata, and they both serve as the final line of defense before the Boss himself, attempting to stop Team Bucciarati from reaching the Coliseum in Rome.
Personality
Very little is known about Secco, as not even the boss was able to find concrete information regarding his past. Apparently, he was once a patient of Cioccolata, but sharing Cioccolata's warped mind and thoughts of spreading suffering, they formed a partnership. Secco obeys him as if he were a pet. When he was first introduced, Secco appeared to be greatly unintelligent, making various noises and gestures to communicate rather than words. Cioccolata sends him to film people's expressions as they die while he tortures them with his Green Day and occasionally rubs Secco's head for doing a good job, and rewards him with sugar cubes.
However, Secco's actual personality appears to be far from that of a loyal dog. He completely changes when he hears about Cioccolata's death, claiming that the only reason he listened to Cioccolata was that he was smart, gave him candy, had money and because Secco believed he was strong. Secco goes on to claim that he no longer needs Cioccolata, calling him weak and spitting on the camera he originally used to film Cioccolata's victims. Subsequently, he demonstrates a higher intellect and understanding, showing a very curious and malevolent attitude as well as an ability to speak at length and analyze.
He's also prideful of his abilities, being insulted by Bucciarati's rough imitation of them while they were racing towards Jean Pierre Polnareff's location in Rome.
History
Secco was once one of Cioccolata's 'patients', used to satiate the latter's morbid desire to see others die slowly and painfully. He is somehow spared and becomes the mad doctor's loyal sidekick. Eventually, they were recruited into Passione, and both received Stands.
The anime also subtly inserts him into Squadra Esecuzioni's backstory by implying that he participated in the execution of Sorbet and Gelato, filming the whole ordeal.
Story
Secco and Cioccolata were deployed by the Boss as a last resort to intercept Team Bucciarati in Rome and eliminate them.
First attacking Guido Mista and Bucciarati, Secco proved to be a far more powerful opponent than Bucciarati earlier believed and eventually is fought by him alone. Upon him discovering that Bucciarati's body was not affected by Cioccolata's Green Day, he instantly demanded to know the reason behind it, believing he could use it to defeat the boss. Secco demonstrates his ability to attack faster than even Sticky Fingers, using the ground to amplify the momentum behind his punches (mentioned by Bucciarati to be akin to a wrestler using the ropes of the ring). Secco heavily damages his target before noticing the traitor's third-party ally in the Colosseum. He continues to assault Bucciarati with the plan to kill the unknown individual afterward, but Bucciarati escapes underground using his zippers. Angered at him for stealing his "special moves", Secco gives chase. After forcing Bucciarati above ground, he moves in to finish him off. However, Sticky Fingers punches a nearby tire, and resulting pop deafeningly bursts Secco's eardrums (along with Bucciarati's own), rendering his tracking abilities useless. He then becomes disoriented and fearful to the point of taking a boy hostage. However, the boy was revealed to be Doppio, who is unfazed by Secco and Bucciarati's battle. Bucciarati uses Sticky Fingers to hit both of them, using his ability to punch through Doppio without hurting him and putting a zipper on Secco, keeping his arm stuck to his chest. Secco panics to take it off, then trips into a combustible garbage truck (mirroring Cioccolata's earlier fate).
Powers
Secco's Stand, Oasis, is a wearable suit similar to that of Ghiaccio's White Album. The main ability of Oasis is to liquefy solid ground and concrete into mud which enables Secco to dive and swim in it as if it were water. Oasis is a very dangerous Stand in itself as it makes Secco's attacks far more stronger than that of an ordinary human. Adding to that, Secco can amplify his attacks even further by temporarily hardening the liquefied concrete to increase his momentum. Secco's innovative use of his Stand includes also him shooting liquid concrete from his mouth which then immediately hardens, forming sharp flying projectiles.
Combined with Cioccolata's Green Day, Secco's Oasis is capable of causing great mayhem and destruction and even the Boss himself admits that their Stand powers are far more reliable than anyone else's. While Green Day's flesh-eating mold inflicts those who are on lower altitude, Secco can use his Stand to dive underground and sink his opponents, trapping them and lowering their altitude even further. The only drawback of Oasis is that it is unable to see anything underground so Secco has to use his hearing to track down his opponents. He is then quickly disposed of when Bucciarati manages to find out his fatal flaw by rendering his ability to hear.
