MY TWO CENTS ON FUGO FROM "VENTO AUREO"
Some don't understand that the anime objectively did the best thing by changing Fugo's backstory and that him leaving was actually perfect, and it makes me wonder if these people understand anything at all when it comes to JJBA and human experiences. Let me elaborate.
First of all, for those who don't know, in the manga Fugo's backstory is different: his professor never harassed him there. Other changes were made, but let me focus on this one.
This change was made by Araki himself, as you can see here:
Tumblr media
Araki had a lot of trouble with the character of Fugo, not only with his backstory, but generally when it came to handling him:
Tumblr media
No, this doesn't mean I think Araki hated Fugo. I actually think he loved him so much that he wanted everything about him to be perfect. And perfection is hard to achieve.
Araki changed Fugo's backstory in the anime so that he could have more justice and so that his stand could make even more sense [I'll talk about that in a moment], and he spared him from becoming an evil traitor because it would've been both pointless and cruel towards Fugo himself.
Now, the main reason why I'm writing this, is because online many say that the change makes no sense, that the manga's backstory is better. I, just like Araki, don't think so.
Let's focus on the implications of his stand for a second: Purple Haze is a close-range stand, which is important to prove my point. On its hands, we can see little spheres that, when broken due to Purple Haze throwing punches, release a deadly virus with the ability to kill every being within five meters, in only thirty seconds. Pretty badass, but also, so, so meaningful.
A reminder before I go on: stands are the personifications of someone's spiritual energy. So the stand is the manifestation of the user's inner self.
In the anime, Fugo, as a teen, was raped by his professor, and beat the man to pieces when he tried to sexually harass him: it'd already happened at least once, from what we know from their brief exchange. Also, it's unclear whether the professor had raped Fugo or had "simply" sexually harassed him the first time, but he can be seen taking his belt off in the flashback shortly before being attacked, so I believe that yes, indeed, the professor was aiming to rape Fugo again in that scene.
The professor, by doing so, violates Fugo's personal space. So do his parents by constantly being on their son's back.
Fugo's often described as "violent", but he really isn't, not unless he is openly provoked and/or threatened. He's never attacked the innocent, after all. Not only that, but he's also self-conscious about his stand, he's aware that its power is dangerous.
Let's not forget, Purple Haze doesn't harm what's not in its proximity. Purple Haze only attacks what's in its space, which means, what's in its user's space. Same goes for his user who - were he a violent man like some say - would attack anyone on sight.
And that's it. Fugo's inner self longs for space and quiet, as easy as that. He's not violent when his personal space isn't invaded - both physically and mentally speaking. Fugo never attacks unless he's openly threatened and sees no other way out. Purple Haze symbolises Fugo's desperate need to be left alone, out of trouble, unbothered. Purple Haze makes the threats go silent and still by killing them, and silence and stillness are all Fugo strives for. That's also why he doesn't want to "go against the rules" to defeat the Boss.
For someone with such trauma, with such a complex psyche and possibly BPD [I have it and I believe he does too, but that's not canon, it's just a theory] sticking to the status quo is comforting, it makes him feel safe, grounded. BPD often causes a rapid shift in the perception of both oneself and others, so his sudden change of heart towards Giorno's plan is absolutely justified and has a logic explanation, unlike most people think. BPD, sadly, undermines most humans relationships.
Purple Haze, much like Fugo, isn't evil nor inherently violent. Sure, the man didn't have to stick a fork into Narancia's face for a silly joke, but again, Fugo didn't even perceive it as such - which makes me believe that my BPD theory is right - just like Narancia didn't think that a wrong math problem would've elicited such an explosive reaction.
A traumatized man, whose stand embodies his fear of emotional and physical contact, sees the few people he trusts making what he believes to be the scariest, most irrational decision, determined to go against the status quo. The life of emotional stability that Fugo had slowly started to rebuild after joining the gang is quite literally shattered before his eyes, and yet, he never betrays his friends.
Fugo's behaviour makes much more sense with the changes introduced in the anime, and him leaving was the perfect epilogue for him, in my honest opinion.

I ain’t gone lie
We need a Vento Aureo Italian Dub tbh
Also JohnRose is canon according to Hussie
Rose isn’t canonically a lesbian
and if you’re calling that lesbian erasure
then what you’re saying is sapphic variation erasure
:)

"Inclusivity feels so forced these days!" meanwhile Araki's like, here's my canon lgbtq+ fellas:
1. Dio, the main villain in part 1 and 3 (and in other parts too, indirectly) is bisexual, 1987-
2. Sorbet and Gelato, and Tiziano and Squalo, are both gay couples from "Vento Aureo", 1995-99.
3. In the Japanese version, F.F. from "Stone Ocean" changes pronouns between "ore" and "atashi", the former being usually used by men, the latest by women. In the English version, the other characters use they/them pronouns for F.F., 2000-2003.
4. Scarlet Valentine, from "Steel Ball Run", is bisexual, 2004-2011. And from the same part, during the Sugar Mountain arc, two girl can be seen visibly hugging and snuggling in a romantic way: when Gyro asks them if he can offter them drinks, he simply looks at them and leaves, defeated.
5. Dragona Joestar, from "JojoLands", is māhū, 2023-
These are all canon, mind you, and I'm sure I missed someone as well.
