"Mature Content Warning!" |
“ | Our team...! We're nothing like those fools trying to pick up girls on the street or partying at the club. Those pathetic losers just scream and shout, "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" just to soothe their wounded egos. When we truly think "I'll kill you!" from the bottom of our hearts... by that time, the deed has already been done! | „ |

His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- Killed several people in the past during his assassination missions.
- He, along with his team, wanted to take over the gang so that they can use Diavolo's connections in the drug market to become rich.
- Decided to kidnap Trish Una in order to draw out her father, Diavolo.
- Despite treating Pesci like a brother figure, he corrupted him in becoming a killer and betrayed when he didn't want to use his powers to kill people, calling him weak.
- Attempted to kill Team Bucciarati by infiltrating the train.
- Unleashed Grateful Dead on the train after being unable to find the Team directly, causing several deaths before his powers were discovered.
- Shot an elderly Mista in the head, which would have killed him hadn't Sex Pistols protected him.
- After Pesci was killed, informed Melone about Trish's actual position, indirectly causing a woman's death as Melone decided to pursue them.
- He died in regret that Pesci wasn't able to kill Bucciarati, not about any of his evil deeds in his past.
- Unlike other members of La Squadra, Prosciutto along with Pesci are the only characters to attempt to murder all of Team Bucciarati at once, but Prosciutto alone try and kill an entire train of people and having the very unique crime of mass torture.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He expressed some care for his fellow La Squadra members as he was genuinely saddened by the deaths of Sorbet and Gelato at the hands of Cioccolata, and was partly motivated to kill Diavolo to avenge them. Also, despite his corrupted relations with Pesci, he expressed pride in him after the latter became hardened enough to kill Bruno Bucciarati and stated that the only reason he was harsh on him was to get him to toughen up.
- He displayed a sense of honor as shown when he declared Bucciarati a worthy opponent and a hardened mafioso while fighting him.
- Along with the rest of La Squadra, he was shown to be disgusted by Melone’s pervertedness, showing that he has some slight standards.
- His death is played with some sympathy. After being crushed beneath the train, he still managed to activate the Grateful Dead just to support Pesci, with Pesci burst out tears at his astonishing willpower, and got motivated to revenge him. After Pesci stopped the train, he encouraged Pesci and said that he would witness and support him till the end. Unfortunately for Prosciutto, he had to watch Pesci get ripped to shreds by Bucciarati, before passing away himself shortly afterwards.
- However this doesn't make him scapegoat, as it doesn't justify his actions of harming innocent people on the train, not the mentions his sympathetic death only tried to cause more harm than good, so it's a minor prevention.
Trivia[]
- Prosciutto is the only La Squadra member to be Near Pure Evil, while all the other members (including his boss Risotto Nero) are Villainous Benchmarks for failing the heinous standard.
