Il vero potere di The World, come suggerisce il nome, è di regnare supremo sul mondo intero!
”
—DIO, Chapter 253: DIO's World, Part 7

The World (ザ・ワールド（世界）, Za Wārudo) è lo Stand di DIO, apparso soprattutto nella terza parte de Le bizzarre avventure di JoJo, Stardust Crusaders.

Uno Stand estremamente potente capace di controllare il tempo, posseduto da un portatore ugualmente potente, The World è uno Stand misterioso, sia riverito che temuto da quasi ogni personaggio in Stardust Crusaders.

Apparence

The World

The World ha l'aspetto di un umanoide alto e muscoloso, con una forte somiglianza con DIO stesso in termini di corporatura e abbigliamento. Indossa un copricapo che copre il viso fino al di sotto del punto del naso, inclinato ad un angolo ripido dalla base della fronte a un picco situato sopra la parte posteriore della testa di circa la metà della sua altezza, lasciando visibile la faccia di un triangolo invertito davanti; in qualche modo simile alla Red Crown of Lower Egypt.

It wears small twin diving cylinders on its back, connecting via short, twin-ridged cables to the rear of its mask; perhaps secured by thick, ridged or puffed straps running from the rear of its waist over both its shoulders to its front. The back of both its hands bears the shape of a simple clock face. Its chin, the base of its abdomen, its crotch and its knees are topped by heart shapes. It has armor plates on its shins, and its clogs bears curved, sharply-pointed toes, similar to those of DIO's.

In the colored manga, The World is completely yellow. In the anime, it is gray-skinned, has green heart motifs and has golden clothing. In the OVA, The World is gray-skinned, has bronze heart motifs and ivory clothing.

It is named for the Tarot card The World, the last card in the Major Arcana and symbolic of tectonic chance: the beginning of a new world order.

It's revealed in DIO's notebook that he intended to engrave 14 phrases on his Stand to remember them,[1] although it's unknown if he actually does so before his death.

Personality

The World shows no particular personality, although it occasionally smiles as it pummels others, hinting that it may be a rather cruel entity that takes pleasure in causing pain.[2][3] In the anime, it frequently shows expressions of formidability and fury in its attacks. Its Stand cry is Muda Muda Muda! (無駄 無駄 無駄!, lit. "Useless, useless, useless!"),[2] however, the cry itself seems to be communicated by DIO.

The World itself doesn't make much attempts at speech. In the anime, The World makes grunting noises while fighting Star Platinum, and in the English dub, the grunting sounds are replaced with growling noises.

Abilities

The World is an exceptionally powerful Close-range Stand much like Star Platinum as noted by Noriaki Kakyoin and Jotaro Kujo, but boasting an effective manifestation range of approximately 10 meters.[4] Despite requiring a close distance to inflict damage, its overwhelming physical might and near unstoppable control over time undeniably make it one of the most dangerous Stands in the entire series.

Extreme Physical Power: The World possesses phenomenal strength, senses, precision, and incredible speed, being able to easily punch Kakyoin right through his abdomen. DIO claims that The World is even stronger and faster than Star Platinum since it bested the latter in a clash of rapid punches between the two.[2] However, it is unclear if this is an aspect of DIO's vampiric nature or simply having greater experience with his Stand. Its main offense is generally characterized by a flurry of speedy punches and the occasional kick.

Time Stop

The World stopping time

The World's signature power is its ability to stop time, allowing only itself, DIO and anyone with the same power, to act within the duration of stopped time.[5]

Time stop sound effect (anime)

In the stopped time, DIO can move his own body freely along with any object he touches that he wishes to move, allowing him to strike his defenseless enemies, move to a superior position, and toy with his victims. All force applied by DIO during the time stop continues to exist after the time stop. This is seen when the objects that DIO throws can momentarily move during the stopped time before grinding to a halt. A flurry of thrown knives could fly for several meters before stopping near Jotaro.[6]

Another unique feature of the time stop is how DIO can seemingly levitate in stopped time. Since no forces other than the time stopper's exist during a time stop, there is no force of gravity, allowing DIO to move freely in space as he wishes, with the assistance of his stand.

It is notable that DIO needs to consciously activate Time Stop, which means that surprise attacks can prevent him from stopping time.[7]

Despite time not actively progressing, DIO quantifies the duration of The World's time stop using seconds.

Because of DIO's weakened state in Stardust Crusaders, this ability initially only works for up to 5 seconds in DIO's frame of reference before time flows again.[8] However, thanks to DIO's immortality, the duration of stopped time increases as DIO becomes more accustomed to The World and the scar around his neck heals, reaching a maximum of nine seconds towards the end of Stardust Crusaders.[9]

However, had he not died, the period during for which DIO could have stopped time would have continued to grow, seemingly indefinitely.[10]

Curiosità

  • Il nome e il potere di The World più la scena sulle scale con Polnareff sono un possibile riferimento alla canzone "Stargazer" di Ronnie James Dio, da cui DIO prende il nome, verso 3:
    • "All eyes see the figure of the wizard" ("Tutti gli occhi osservano la figura di un mago") "As he climbs to the top of the world" ("Mentre sale sulla vetta del mondo") "No sound, as he falls instead of rising" ("Nessun suono, mentre cade invece di salire") "Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand" ("Il tempo è fermo e c'è sangue sulla sabbia")
  • Il design di The World potrebbe essere ispirato alla grande figura sulla copertina dell'album Holy Diver, sempre di Ronnie James Dio.
  • The World fu il primo Stand creato da Araki, specificatamente per essere in contrasto con lo Star Platinum di Jotaro fin dall'inizio.[11]
  • La carta dei tarocchi di The World è l'unica a non avere scritto sopra "Lucky Land".
  • Casualmente, la carta dei tarocchi del Mondo era detta "Tempo" nel mazzo di Court de Gébelin.[12]
