Faction Name | La Squadra Esecuzioni |
---|
Overview
The team, led by the spicy and merciless Risotto Nero, is made up of users of the huge stand. The Stand, a representation of "life energy", manifests differently for each member, granting unique powers. Their variety of abilities makes them one of the most formidable opposing teams. Their main goal is to wrest power from the ruling boss and regain their rightful prestige in Passione. Despite their profession, they are guided by a strong sense of justice and camaraderie. Fueled by the loss of one of their own, they will stop at nothing in their quest for revenge.
Unlike traditional evil factions, the Execution Squad evokes sympathy for their tragic past. Their powerful stances, coupled with their undying will, make them characters to watch. They embody the coexistence of creepiness and legitimacy in JoJo's quirky universe.
History
Founded by an anonymous Passione boss, The Execution Squad focused on dealing with those who posed a threat to the gang's operations. However, despite their high efficiency and loyalty, the boss never fully recognized their value, leading to friction within the group. The turning point of the group was the death of two of its members, Sorbet and Gelato. This horrific incident was presided over by the boss himself and marked a shift in the group's loyalties.
Their injustice and desire for revenge made them villains. They turned on the boss and tried to reveal his identity and take over the drug business controlled by Passione. Their goal was not only revenge, but also the desire to prevent young Italians from being affected by drugs.
But each member of the execution squad has a unique story embedded in JoJo's world. Each has a "Stand", a physical manifestation of the user's martial spirit, making them formidable opponents in battle. Ultimately, the story of The Execution Squad reflects both betrayal and a twisted sense of loyalty. Their story remains a powerful reminder of the hidden injustices within organizations, adding complexity and intrigue to the overall plot of JoJo's quirky universe.
