Sorbet and Gelato

Vento Aureo

Sorbet and Gelato are introduced during Formaggio 's recollection of his motivations for wanting to kidnap Trish Una. Both were members of Passione specialized in assassination and were always so close to each other that they were rumored to be a couple. Apparently disgruntled by the lack of money their boss granted them, they attempted to pursue his identity to steal his territory. This results in the two being abducted. Sorbet and Gelato's team attempt to search for them but to no avail.↗↗

In the anime, they are kidnapped by Cioccolata and Secco, with Secco filming Cioccolata torturing them. Gelato is tied up and forced to watch Sorbet being cross-sectioned into thirty-six pieces with a sharp knife, starting with his toes. His face distorts in fear during the torture. Gelato becomes overcome with fear and despair seeing his partner gruesomely tortured. He commits suicide by swallowing his cloth gag into his throat to suffocate, saving himself from further terror.↗↗↗

Days later, thirty-six individual cross-sections of Sorbet are delivered in individual packages to the assassin team. Each body part was preserved in formalin and placed inside frames.↗↗

They are later shown being recounted by Risotto Nero as he remembers his rebellion against the boss to avenge them.↗↗

Background

Before joining Passione, Sorbet was a soldier in the Italian army. He was discharged after assaulting a superior officer, whom he had beaten half to death due to the officer bullying his subordinates. Sorbet explained this was not out of a sense of justice, but because he could not stand arrogant individuals who looked down on their subordinates, finding it exhilarating to see the terror on his face when confronted.↗↗↗

Gelato was a person of interest to the police, suspected of being a thrill killer responsible for multiple murders. He would thoroughly investigate individuals who caught his interest and then meticulously kill them. He told Sorbet that he committed at least twenty murders over twenty years, though he claimed to lose interest the moment they were dead, implying the true number could be much higher. Due to his clean work, which left no evidence behind, all charges against him were dropped.↗↗

Both of them later joined Passione and were assigned to La Squadra Esecuzioni, where they met each other. Despite Gelato's nature of not getting close to others, he quickly formed an intense bond with Sorbet. Within a month, the two were taking on missions as a pair. They eventually became inseparable partners who lived together and wore matching items. The two of them had successfully carried out many difficult assassinations.↗↗↗

Boss's Warning

Sorbet and Gelato are assigned the mission to assassinate former gangster Liberio Betti. As Sorbet drives their black compact car along the coastline, Gelato enjoys the spring breeze while snacking on various snacks. During the drive, they discuss their growing dissatisfaction with Passione, with Sorbet venting about their meager pay and the mission's apparent pointlessness. They begin tailing their target's companion, a young nurse named Alice Bianchi, to a secluded trattoria.↗↗

Following the plan, Sorbet successfully shoots Liberio. However, the mission is revealed to be a trap when Alice, swearing loyalty to "the Boss" with her last breath, detonates a bomb hidden in her bouquet in a suicide attack meant to kill them. Gelato uses his Stand to survive the explosion unscathed.↗↗↗

Panicked after hearing the blast and getting no answer on the phone, Sorbet storms the burning building. He finds Gelato calm amidst the flames, sipping coffee and eating a bowl of milk gelato. Gelato explains that Alice was a Passione loyalist who actually loved the Boss rather than Liberio, and the entire mission was a "warning" to them from the Boss, as the Boss would have known that an ordinary bomb wouldn't kill Stand users like them.↗↗
