We have to make a stand! Risotto and Abbacchio are a perfect pair and to illustrate this I, Bunny, shall discuss the many parallels between them!

1. Design

Take a look here, where I have circled several keypoints where they share design elements

first off, what isn’t pictured is how in the manga they both had black lipstick (although ris only had it in a pic but still). Besides that, look at their outfits have: an open chest area (so does everyone else in golden wind but shh there’s still more), a long billowing coat, a large statement belt with their initials, sleeves that go past their wrists with gold bracelets over them, and a goofy ahh striking head piece. Also it may be worth noting that Abbacchio and Risotto also have particularly striking eyes: Abbacchio has bicoloured yellow-purple eyes and Risotto has black sclera (shhh I know, Polpo—)

2. Trauma

These bitches gay AND have very similar trauma. Grief is a very important part of their character/how they ended up the way they are and although we don’t get nearly as much insight into Risotto’s character, I think they both also have many feelings of guilt and self-hatred over what happened. Risotto is a deeply vengeful character and I think part of it is feeling like he has to avenge everyone’s deaths as a means of atonement for himself. When Gelato and Sorbet died, he was the last person to leave the chapel and that gives me the feeling that he spent a lot of time alone to internalize those guilty feelings.

3. Narrative

Abbacchio was the first person of team Bucciarati to die, Risotto was the last person of La Squadra to die. They died in the same place at around the same time period. Risotto died seeing Diavolo’s face, knowing he was killed by the Boss whereas Abbacchio despite being the one looking to get a record of the Boss’s face died completely unaware. They both lost a limb fighting an enemy and reattached it with a stand. They both have a cold outward demeanor but are intensely loyal to their teams, willing to die if that’s what would benefit the group (yes la squadra was already all dead when risotto was going to take Diavolo out with him but it was to avenge their deaths that he was so intent on killing Diavolo)

Conclusion

They’re my babygirls and they’re both transfem and in love RisAbba real
