Background

Messina is a secondary ally featured in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency. He is one of Lisa Lisa's butlers and assistant instructors and along Loggins, he helped train Joseph Joestar and Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli in Hamon.

Before the events of the story Messina and Loggins trained in Hamon under Lisa Lisa and would master it and would eventually became Hamon instructors. During Battle Tendency he and Loggins would teach Joseph and Caesar how to do things such as taking ten breaths in one second or breathing in and out for ten minutes straight for each.

For Caesar's final test Messina would battle him in a one-on-one duel atop of tightrope. Messina would conclude the duel and would pass Caesar telling him he's learned more in three weeks then he has in ten years. Afterwards Messina would travel with Joseph, Caesar, and Lisa Lisa to St. Moritz, Switzerland to take back the Super Aja from the Pillar Men.

When Caesar decided to fight the Pillar Men in the day instead of waiting for a better battle plan, Messina would follow him. When Messina caught up to Caesar, he would be ambushed by Wamuu, who would cut his arm off and drag him into Kars' lair. Messina would fall unconscious due to blood loss and would not witness Caesar's death at the hands of Wamuu. Messina would be retrieved by Joseph when he was sent to get the Super Aja after negotiating with the Pillar Men for a final one-on-one duel.

After Joseph supposedly died in a volcanic eruption Messina would attended his "funeral" only to find out Joseph was alive and well.

Notable Techniques

• Hamon: As he was trained by Lisa Lisa, Messina uses Hamon to fight. Hamon can be used to amplify the user's strength, heal wounds and diseases, send energy through objects, walk on water, and more. Hamon is especially good at harming Vampires as it is their main weakness. Messina notably taught Joseph Joestar and Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli how to master their Hamon in three weeks.

Other

Standard Tactics: Messina will use his Hamon to attack his enemies.

Weaknesses: If he can't breath he will eventually run out of Hamon. If Messina were to use Ultimate Deep Pass Overdrive he will rapidly age until he becomes an old man. If A Hamon user's Hamon unable to connect with its target, the target will be unaffected. A way to prevent Hamon from connecting is by freezing the users way of attacking with it before it could reach it's target.
