02Appearance
Little is known of Secco's appearance as he constantly wears his Stand Oasis over him, only revealing his athletic build and crooked teeth. Secco appears to be smaller than the average character (~170 cm (5 ft 7 in) in the anime) and a lanky individual. His Stand takes the form of a wearable suit similar to that of Ghiaccio 's. He wears a constant eccentric-looking expression. Small patches of skin can be seen on the suit held together by what appears to be thread.↗↗
03Personality
However, Secco's actual personality appears to be far from that of a loyal dog. Now greatly disillusioned at his loss, Secco goes on to claim that he no longer needs Cioccolata, calling him weak and spitting on the camera he originally used to film their 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.↗
04Abilities
Stand
Oasis is a suit-like Stand granting him physical strength beyond human limits and the ability to liquefy objects he touches.↗
Personal
Spitting: Secco has an uncanny precision when he spits objects, to the point he can deflect bullets by spitting rocks at them. His spitting ability is also more powerful than average, as he is shown liquefying a large amount of rock to spit them upward, turning them into spikes that bombard a large area around him.↗
Hearing: Due to his habit of swimming underground, Secco developed a keen sense of hearing in order to locate his targets while underground. With this, he's able to determine the general location of a person from afar, and his precision increases the closer he is to his target.↗
Intelligence: Contrary to his demeanor, Secco is somewhat observant, recognizing that Bucciarati is unaffected by Green Day's mold despite being in lower altitudes.↗
05Story
SPOILERS
Background
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 La Squadra Esecuzioni 's backstory by implying that he participated in the execution of Sorbet and Gelato, filming the whole ordeal.↗
At the coastal Village
Secco and Cioccolata were deployed by the Boss as a last resort to intercept Team Bucciarati and eliminate them.↗
The pair positions themselves in a coastal village to intercept Team Bucciarati and Cioccolata spreads Green Day 's mold in the village, decimating its population. When Team Bucciarati arrives, they fall victim to the mold but quickly work out how it works and escape its initial trigger. Perched above their prey, Cioccolata is surprised by their resourcefulness and asks if Secco has filmed everything.↗
Approaching Mista and Bucciarati from underground, Secco makes the staircase they ascend sink into the ground to trigger the growth of the mold. He also makes the staircase soften and sinks in Bucciarati. When he attempts to grab him, Mista shoots at a signpost and breaks the pole, allowing the duo to cling to it as the staircase disappears. Secco goes under the streets and continues his pursuits. Secco catches up to Mista, who uses this moment to shoot him.↗
In Rome
Secco and Cioccolata board an helicopter, kill its pilot and eventually catch up to Team Bucciarati 's car in Rome. They throw the pilot's mold-ridden corpse, causing a crash. Cioccolata then keeps spreading the mold. When Mista shoots the helicopter, Secco comes out of the vessel to punch the bullets away and dives into the streets. He focuses his attention on Bucciarati.↗
Realising that Secco is headed for the Colosseum now, Bucciarati throws a zipped post into a stela near Secco, threatening to close it on him like a jawed trap. Secco nonchalantly kicks the stela and turns Bucciarati's trap against him; Bucciarati is almost decapitated but Sticky Fingers then breaks it to cancel the trap. Secco suddenly leaps forward to chop off Bucciarati's legs, but the latter uses the pole to get out of the muddy ground then tries to kick him.↗
Secco sees the zipper on the ground and understands that Bucciarati is going to the Colosseum from under the ground. Secco gets angry over Bucciarati copying his fighting style and then wastes precious seconds thinking that Bucciarati must resurface to inhale fresh air, only to realize that as a corpse, Bucciarati doesn't need to breathe either.↗
Meanwhile, Bucciarati is still harassed by Secco's spikes. Feeling some approaching his head, he has no choice but to make Sticky Fingers deflect them, causing the sound Secco was waiting for. Bucciarati tries to escape but hears Secco approaching. Detecting several sources, Secco realizes that Bucciarati has cut a lamp post to slow him down but is supremely confident that Bucciarati is cornered.↗
Completely disoriented, Secco attempts a blind kick but resurfaces his leg which gets crushed by a passing car. Bucciarati also resurfaces to knock out a panicking Secco but the Passione operative then takes a random boy hostage, which is shown to be Doppio. Secco orders Doppio to call for a taxi so that he can leave but Bucciarati advances and, before Secco can liquefy Doppio, punches Secco through Doppio with Sticky Fingers and attaches his arm to his chest.↗
