JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Golden Wind Episode 15 Discussion

We have left off with Mista falling for the trap that Pesci has placed with Beach Boy. Mista attempts to shoot the line of the fishing hook stuck in side of him, but the bullet ricochets off and hits Mista. Pesci now knows that he has caught Mista and starts to lure him in. Mista uses Sex Pistols to attempt to dislodge the hook, but to no avail. Mista shoots at Pesci and hits the ice cubs that were keeping Pesci from aging due to the effects of the Grateful Dead. Pesci panics and looks for more ice, but is stopped by an elderly man who is being aged. Mista shoots again and hits Pesci's hand. Mista now has ice to prevent him from aging further. Mista asks Pesci where his ally is and the same old man that had stopped Pesci has stopped Mista. This older man turns out to be Pesci's ally, Prosciuttio. He turns back to his original age after quickly aging Mista, thus incapacitating him. Prosciuttio scolds Pesci for acting so recklessly and panicking. Prosciuttio picks up Mista's pistol and puts three bullets into his head. The rest of the Buccellati gang are aging rather quickly, save for Trish and Buccellati. Prosciuttio is looking for the remainder of the team so they can find Trish. Prosciuttio sees feces on the floor from the turtle that Buccellati and the rest of the crew are hiding. Prosciuttio can see the silhouettes from the gem on the back of Coco Jumbo. We learn that one of the Sex Pistols, number 5, stopped the bullets from penetrating Mista's skull. Number 5 also has ice for Mista, but Mista is in bad shape. Sex Pistols has warned Buccellati that Prosciuttio and Pesci are coming for the turtle, so Buccellati sets up an ambush. He unzips from the ceiling of the train and starts to do battle with Prosciuttio and the Grateful Dead. Prosciuttio instructs Pesci to go for the turtle, so Buccellati slams Pesci's head into the side of the train, knocking him unconscious. Buccellati delivers blows to Prosciuttio. who then explains to Buccellati that since they have been fighting, their bodies are all warmed up, so the aging process has quickened for Buccellati. Prosciuttio pins Buccellati, but Buccellati explains the he was well aware of the fact that the aging process would be hastened if they did battle, so he decides to do his duty as a capo and complete the mission of protecting Trish and returning her to the boss. Buccellati opens a zipper on the side of the train and plunges himself and Prosciuttio out the train, which is going at an extremely fast speed. Episode 15 ends with this cliffhanger of Buccellati and Prosciuttio plummeting from the speeding train.

The enemies that Buccellati and his team have to face are getting more powerful each time they encounter enemies from the Hitman Team. Not only are Prosciuttio and Pesci powerful opponents who work well together, but Buccellati's team has never had to face two opponents before like this. The Hitman Team is growing more and more desperate to get Trish from them so they can uncover the truth behind their mysterious boss. Before, they have only sent one man from the Hitman Team after them, hoping it would be enough. They have sent Formaggio, Illuso and now Prosciuttio and Pesci as a team. Not only that, but they are fighting these two tough opponents in an enclosed space, so the enemies stands (Beach Boy and Grateful Dead) are more effective and more terrifying for our protagonists. They took shelter within the stand of Coco Jumbo, Mr. President, but the aging effect of the Grateful Dead still reached them, so the best that they can do is hid Trish and the rapidly aging team members within the turtle, sending the two members who are aging more slowly - Buccellati and Mista -  out to try and stop the again process before Buccellati's entire team dies from old age. These are tough opponents and Buccellati is well aware of this fact, so he takes his opponent with him out the speeding train, attempting to fulfill his duties as a capo and hope the aging process will stop with the death of Prosciuttio. There will still be Pesci to deal with, but once the aging has stopped, the rest of the team can quickly deal with him. This act from Buccellati shows the entire JoJo audience that this capo takes his job very seriously and will do whatever he can to complete the mission and protect his team from these deadly foes.
