02Appearance

Narancia is a teenager of average height with a slender build. He possesses a youthful face and untidy dark hair that cascades over his eyes. He dons a dark, fitted tank top and pants, complemented by lighter-colored accessories such as a bandana and short skirt. His tank top has three straps in the middle connected to a choker. He is also drawn with dark wristbands in one photo. Narancia wields a knife with the crest of Passione emblazoned on it.↗

03Personality

Narancia is a hyperactive and rebellious teenager who is quick to anger and doesn't hold back his emotions. From the outset, he establishes himself as a force to be reckoned with, warning people he meets for the first time not to mess with him. Jorge assumes he's aware of his youthful face, since he shows a menacing glare to look threatening.↗↗

He is confrontational, as seen when he aggressively questions others about their actions or intentions. His language is coarse, often resorting to expletives nearly every time he speaks to emphasize his points or express his frustration. This aggressive nature is further highlighted by his readiness to use his Stand, even in situations where it might be deemed excessive. He acts extremely violently, severely injuring Jorge with his Stand just to lure the astronauts of the H. G. Wells over to them. He doesn't hesitate to challenge or confront those who belittle or underestimate him.↗↗

Narancia is strongly determined and resilient, undeterred by the severe injuries he sustains. Even when faced with life-threatening situations, he remains defiant like a well-trained soldier, showcasing his unwavering loyalty to his group and the Passione name. Nonetheless, Narancia is not without vulnerabilities. He can be emotionally swayed, especially when reminded of his friends and the possibility of never seeing them again. He often cries, though he claims to hate sappy things.↗↗↗

04Abilities

Stand

Narancia's Stand, U-Boat, is a fleet of submarines that can move inside living things or Stands and fire missiles.↗

05Story

SPOILERS

Background

Narancia is a 16-year-old boy in 2012. He was abused by his father, betrayed by his friends, sent to juvenile prison and bullied. He then became homeless and was preyed upon by street gangs. He joined Passione and has killed twenty-three people since he joined, although all of them were "low-life scum" according to Pucci.↗↗

Battle in Mars

Narancia helps Giorno (Universe?) Giorno Giovanna from an unknown universe and the others in Passione with tracking down their boss. Bucciarati assigns him to be the partner of Jorge Joestar and they take a pebble phone with them. Suddenly, Jorge sees Tsukumojuku Kato standing next to Narancia. Tsukumojuku tries grabbing Jorge's shoulder, but Narancia gets in his way. In that instant, the three of them are teleported far away.↗↗

Aboard the H. G. Wells Spaceship, Jorge and Narancia are caught and tied to a bed by Captain Funnier Valentine and his team of astronauts. Enrico Pucci introduces himself and asks for their names. Since Narancia couldn't speak English, Jorge answers for him. Pucci sees the mark of Passione on Narancia's knife and moves onto other questions. The crew is surprised to learn that they somehow appeared there from Morioh and Nero Nero Island.↗

Jorge asks Narancia whether he really wants to die here, mentioning that he'll never see his friends again. Narancia hesitates and then bursts into tears, realizing that he'll die. Suddenly, Jorge sees Narancia's face and entire body start melting as if it was rotting away. Jorge turns around and sees Pucci's Stand but all the other astronauts had gone back to their normal duties.↗

President The Funniest Valentine appears on the loudspeaker and tells them that they're now referring to the moon as The Eyed Balloon. He shows them the interior of The Eyed Balloon, revealing that there are several Giotto probes inside. He also tells them the history of Kars, who Pocoloco saw earlier.↗

The giant U-Boat rams into the side of the H. G. Wells due to The Eyed Balloon's tentacles. Narancia and Jorge jump into the hole of the submarine and Narancia immediately pilots it away. The H. G. Wells spaceship explodes, but they are confronted by Kars who entered their submarine as well. Kars decides to build his own spaceship using The Eyed Balloon and the Giotto probes.↗↗

Kars also develops his own version of Pucci's Stand, who managed to survive due to Soundman's sand protecting Pucci from Funnier's bullet earlier. After some banter, Kars gives Jorge a downgraded copy of his U-Boat. He calls Giorno and Narancia speaks with him. Giorno tells them that there is an expected bombing on Nero Nero Island and Morioh after an American scout plane had crashed on Morioh, resulting with the residents clashing with the Navy.↗↗

Crashing into London

The spaceship of Kars smashes into the Arrow Cross House as Jorge assumes that they all are about to die. However, Kars saves them by transforming his body into a sphere. Narancia tells Jorge that they should consider running away now while they have the chance, but then discovers that they aren't in Morioh. He sends out a few hundred tiny U-Boats onto the grass, having them scout in all directions.↗

Deciding to join their group, Penelope heads back with Jorge to U-Boat and Narancia cackles about how Jorge could pick up a girl in the situation that they're in. The group arrives at London, where Pucci is greeted by Funny Valentine. They also meet Dio Brando, leading Pucci's Stand to evolve into C-MOON and Made in Heaven.↗↗

Later, the giant Antonio Torres tries protecting Dio. Jorge and Narancia fire a barrage of missiles with U-Boat at the giant Antonio, but he knocks them all aside. After Lisa Lisa also attacks him with the Ripple, Antonio's head begins to crumble, but Kars tells them to stop killing him or they won't be able to return England back to its original timeline. In the end, Narancia returns to the 37th universe.↗↗
