I feel like the reason I like Narancia so much, is because everyone has been him at
a time, or wants to be him in a sense.
This might be hard to translate over.
Many have been betrayed by someone that they’ve trusted, many have been mixed up in the wrong
group because there’s nowhere else to go, many want to be able to strive to be better
because of the of how great the people around them are, and many want people around them
so they finally have someone to support them, giving them initiative to strive.
Many want to lead their own life, and many want direction, many want it all to stop,
many want it to go forward.
If you’ve ever been one of the many here, congratulations, you’ve been Narancia and
potentially might be still now.
When people see Narancia, they usually see an uneducated rambunctious subordinate.
When I see Narancia, I see that too, but I also see someone who was able to become all
that they wanted to be, even when the odds were originally against them.
I see someone who didn’t let their positive beliefs on life be skewed by those that didn’t
deserve him.
I see greatness, and hopefully, I’ll be able to go about that here.
Narancia’s loyalty is one that goes uncontested.
If he believes that he’s with the right people, there’s a lot that he’d do for
them so he could prove himself.
For example, the group of friends who he had found solace in.
He just wanted some sort of guidance in his life because he had no parental figure to
guide him through life, but instead he got a group of people who had got him beat, arrested,
and ended up abandoning him because of rumors that they’ve created.
But it’s amazing that he was able to meet good people like Fugo and had great guidance
from a leader like Bruno.
Now that he had good people that deserved the loyalty he gives; he was able to establish
his objectives and be able to see them until the very end so that he can prove himself
for those that had done so much for him.
That’s how you get fights like the Formaggio vs. Narancia fight or Narancia vs. Squalo
and Tiziano.
In the Formaggio fight, the basis was a normal task, but the obstacles that came with were
a lot larger than expected, regardless, he saw it through until the very end, end of
Formaggio at least.
Same with the Squalo and Tiziano fight, but what made the stakes a lot higher is that
they actually had their hands on Giorno and he’s the one to only one who can heal the
other members, so if Squalo was actually able to get his hands on them too then that could’ve
the potential end to the journey.
Even with that in mind, Narancia had his objective set, and what made it even better, is that
since Giorno had led Narancia to the answer, it meant that he had believed in him and knew
that he’d be able to see it through.
A thing that we pick up through our journey is the idea that you need to exclude extreme
emotions when it comes to the mission.
Getting too caught up can end up being your downfall a lot of the time, so it’s made
a lesson not to do that because it’ll skew your way of thinking.
Now, being the one that doesn’t understand the most is an obstacle most of the time,
but it also let’s Narancia be himself all the time, regardless if it has a chance to
affect him in a negative way, he still goes off, and it’s amazing.
For example, bringing back the Formaggio fight once again.
That unfiltered raw anger, the unrelenting barrage from Aerosmith, topping it off with
a bomb, and still kicking the car even when it’s all over?
It’s amazing!
Now, doing so let Formaggio weave around and he was able to take the advantage state at
times, but Naranacia’s fury was able to rip right through it.
Narancia benefits strongly from being able to show the way that he feels, and it’s
almost as if he’s able work even better by having that wrathful feeling in him.
I think the only thing Narancia had ever held back on is sadness, and that was for maintaining
that composure for others that need you to.
For an example, you can see how everyone had acted when they had found Abbacchio dead versus
how Narancia had responded to it.
There was a clear-cut difference in reactions, because while they understand how painful
it all is, they have to stay strong to keep focus of the mission.
While Narancia was against this direction, it was something he internalized and used
himself when he was done reflecting about the journey and told Trish about how he was
going to protect her from everything.
Granted, that’s probably his passion outweighing his pain and it had shown for it.
And for a diet part of the of this character analysis, going about Narancia’s ties with
friendship.
Since while he does find everyone in the group to be a friend of his, his stance on loyalty
stands to be a large factor of his decision making rather than the attribute of friendship.
For example, he had a hard time trying to pick between Bruno and Fugo because they had
done so much for him and trying to pick between the two had just left him in the middle.
It wasn’t until him seeing what happened to Trish and noticing that Trish was him because
they had both been betrayed by someone they trusted, after that he was able to stick on
who to go with.
The thing is, he doesn’t hold anything against Fugo, and I would hope the others did too.
Narancia still sees Fugo as a major part of his life regardless of him not following the
same path as the group.
Then, the event that was Narancia’s death.
A death so swift, it completely throws everyone into an emotional blender.
Giorno trembling because he felt helpless in this situation, like how he had trembled
as a baby when he had felt helpless because crying was futile.
Mista crying uncontrollably not only because of the impact, but he doesn’t have to put
on that composed face anymore.
There was also his tetraphobia acting up when he knew something was clearly wrong after
the time-skip.
Trish was losing trust in herself because she couldn’t sense Diavolo’s presence,
and we know how much of a problem she originally had with trusting herself from the Notorious
BIG fight.
And Bruno, doing only what a leader can try to do in this case by trying to maintain the
situation in all of this even though it’s hurting him.
There are hardly any fronts to maintain here, you see everyone’s true colors at their
fullest and its all the more painful for this death, but he’s at rest now.
While the death was so sudden, and there are unspoken final words between them, I’d hope
that they know how much of an impact they were in Narancia’s entire life.
In the end, while he never got to live the comfortable life that he dreamed of, this
journey, meeting all the great people he did and developing as strong as he did, made living
the life that he originally struggled with, all the better.
In his reflection of the journey, we had seen how happy he was that he’d finally be able
to be at peace and do all that he wanted to do.
Like going back to school, enjoying his favorite pizza, and reconnecting with Fugo.
Though he holds all of that back, to then reassure Trish that he’d be protecting her
to the very end, which he did, and while we can reflect on what we aren’t able to do,
you live a lot better appreciating what you did.
I think if Narancia was to really take an outer perspective look at himself, he would
be amazed.
He was able to make his own decisions, meet an amazing group of people, and was able to
protect someone who was abandoned by those they trusted, the same way that Bruno and
Fugo had done for him.
It’s crazy, he had basically saved himself in his eyes, by protecting Trish and being
the person, he wanted to be.
So, Narancia can rest now, they’ll be no one to hurt him anymore, and when it’s all
through and through, Giorno will be taking him back home… tonight.
