<br />
==Appearance==<br />

==Personality==<br />
Chaka is a meek farmer who works with his [[Chaka's Father|father]]. Although often insulted and prohibited from doing much, he remains loyal and respectful. He is rather curious and pushed his father to let him see Anubis. He is also somewhat fearful, trying to rid himself of the blame and standing in shock when Anubis pierces his father's chest.<ref name="C193">{{Ch|Chapter 193}}</ref><br />
<br />
After unsheathing Anubis and succumbing to its control, he becomes a cold-blooded killer. His respect for his father and human life vanishes, and he eagerly accepts his mission to kill the [[Joestar Group]].<ref name="C193" /> Polnareff describes him as honorable for directly challenging him to battle and swiftly introducing himself,<ref name="C194">{{Ch|Chapter 194}}</ref> but how much of Chaka's true self influenced this decision is unknown.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Anubis}}<br />
<br />
Chaka temporarily wields the [[Stand]] [[Anubis]] when he picks up the sword. It is a {{ST|Sentient}} Stand that possesses Chaka's mind and makes him a deadly fighter despite his lack of experience. Polnareff notes that his stance and grip are like an amateur's.<ref name="C194" /><br />

<br />
While fighting Polnareff, he prefers to hide behind pillars to perform sneak attacks with the sword's capability of becoming selectively intangible.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===''Stardust Crusaders''===<br />
Chaka was a young farmer who was always bullied by his own family, who had deemed him as useless. When they found the Anubis sword Chaka was the only one who managed to unsheathe it. Upon drawing the sword he started to hear a voice coming from it and stabbed his father by accident. The sword began to act by itself and killed one of Chaka's companions, and then possessed Chaka and made him finish off the other. He sought to attack [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]], presenting himself for a face-to-face battle but was defeated after a harsh fight. Even though Polnareff shot his [[Silver Chariot]]'s sword through Chaka's neck, the injury didn't kill him and only left him immobilized.<br />

==Video Games==<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (SFC Game)|''JoJo'' RPG (SFC)]]===<br />
Unlike in the manga, where Chaka is battled first with Khan following soon after, in this game, Chaka is battled after fighting Khan. Here, Chaka is a shopkeeper who draws Anubis by accident and attempts to kill the player. After defeating him, he comes to his senses and functions as a regular shopkeeper from there on.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)]]===<br />
[[File:Chaka pl.GIF|frameless|right]]<br />
Chaka's role in the game's story modes remains mostly the same as it did in the manga. After DIO steals the Anubis Sword from a museum warehouse, Chaka finds it by chance and then becomes possessed by [[Anubis]]. Anubis, who is grateful for being "rescued from the darkness of the warehouse", forces Chaka to engage the Joestar party in Egypt. Polnareff, [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]], [[Muhammad Avdol|Avdol]], [[Iggy]], [[Vanilla Ice]], and both forms of [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] face him in their respective story campaigns. In the PS1 version's Super Story Mode, Polnareff faces Chaka in Chapter 20, with the fight's Secret Factor requiring the player to finish him with Polnareff's Last Shot move.<br />
<br />
In his own storyline, Chaka slays one hero after another, becoming more and more deranged after each kill. Eventually, he decides he owes his allegiance to no one and decides he wants to slash up DIO with his sword next. After killing [[Vanilla Ice]] and DIO in his personal mansion, Chaka wanders deep into the desert, searching for stronger opponents to test himself against. According to his ending, he was never seen again after killing DIO, implying he finally met a stronger foe, or the Anubis Sword finally consumed him.<br />
<br />
====Strategy====<br />
Chaka's playstyle differs slightly from other characters in the game because his Stand functions as a weapon instead of a secondary fighter. He has a notable lack of projectile attacks but possesses very fast and deadly blade combos up close.<br />
<br />
Chaka possesses two notable special attacks; one of which involves a quick forward slash which can be chained up to three times (finishing with an uppercutting slash that knocks the opponent airborne) and the other which allows him to counter an enemy attack and send them airborne. The latter negates all damage from the attack and allows him to easily block the same attack in the future.<br />
<br />
He has three super moves. The first, executed only with his Stand sheathed, allows him to charge across the screen, almost slicing his opponent in half for massive amounts of damage if it connects. This attack has a lot of invulnerability frames, but it is very easy to hit Chaka before he charges (and after he charges, if the opponent successfully guards). His second super move is executed with his Stand drawn. It allows him to quickly dance around his opponent, slicing them to ribbons if they don't guard in time. It does less damage than his first super move, but is safer. His final super move allows him to skewer his enemy with Anubis, and if it connects, he will damage them and learn all of their moves until the round ends, sheaths his sword, or takes damage.<br />
<br />
Overall, Chaka is accessible to both novice and expert players who prefer to attack aggressively and keep their opponents on the defensive. His basic combos are easy to use and surprisingly effective, while his Tandem ability (which allows him to move and attack at increased speeds for a short duration, at the cost of a super gauge) allows veteran players to invent their own long combos that can deal serious damage.<br />
<br />
A few basic things to keep in mind are:<br />
<br />
#''Chaka can be "Stand crashed" very easily compared to other characters.'' Blocking with your sword prevents chip damage, but can easily lead to some punishment if you don't go on the offensive, as Stand crashing leaves Chaka completely vulnerable to attack for a few seconds.<br />
#''Chaka can be effective with his sword sheathed as well.'' His {{Nihongo|'''Kekkazan'''|血華斬||lit. Blood Luster Slash}} allows him to quickly charge through an enemy assault (or into the enemies' legs during an aerial attack, which still does full damage) and deal massive damage. Do note that this super technique leaves Chaka vulnerable if it misses, but he will be impervious to any sort of damage during the actual dash. His "sheathed" attacks also have considerable reach, and some of them are actually faster than his sword attacks, but they lack any sort of combo ability.<br />
#''Chain your special techniques or super techniques after a basic combo.'' After doing a three-hit combo with his sword, you can often combo into his dashing attack (QCF+Strong Attack) for an additional three hits, which also sends the enemy airborne. From here, you can also score extra hits on them until they land on the ground. If you are an advanced player, you can chain a Tandem into your basic combos instead for even more damage. Learning how to combo effectively with physical attacks is Chaka's bread-and-butter, and you will struggle playing as him if you don't learn how to do this early on.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*He is one of the special characters in [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Heritage for the Future]] that does not turn into his child form. Rather, he and Black Polnareff turn into the [[Young Anubis Wielder|child that was possessed by Anubis]].<br />
**Depending on whether the game's censorship is on or not, the color of Chaka's blade will change. If the censorship is on, the blade is colored brown. Strangely, [[Khan]] and Black Polnareff's swords remain unchanged.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Super Fly'''|スーパーフライ|Sūpāfurai}} is the [[Stand]] of [[Toyohiro Kanedaichi]] featured in the fourth part of the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]] series, ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]''.<br />
<br />
Bound to a transmission tower, Super Fly acts automatically to trap one person inside of the tower and reflects attacks back to any aggressor.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Super Fly is a Stand automatically bound to a huge transmission tower, standing 38 meters above the ground. Due to its nature, it is visible to normal people and setup to fit Toyohiro's 'self-sufficient dream homestead'. <br />
* Cross Arms - The top cross arm is equipped with a simple bird trap.<br />
* Cage - The Cage of Super Fly has solar panels installed, a rainwater storage system and a pulley system with a basket, meant for moving items around the tower. Rabbits and fish are hung from the cage for the sake of preservation. <br />
* Tower Body - The body of the tower is designed to give Toyohiro a comfortable living experience. The living room of the body houses a toilet, television, couch, battery, overhead garden, futon and a waterproof canvas for rainy days. Toyohiro hangs his clothes around the body. <br />

<br />
==Abilities==<br />
Super Fly is bound to a transmission tower, with the ability to trap its user and others, one person at a time. The tower is practically invulnerable with its abiltiy to reflect damage, and as stated by Toyohiro, would still exist even if he was deceased. While it can't be controlled it can used cleverly, as Toyohiro was fully adept to the environment and took advantage of its damage reflection ability. <br />
<br />
===Occupant Restraint===<br />
[[File:josukesuperflymetal.gif|thumb|left|200px|Super Fly preventing Josuke from leaving by turning him into metal.]]<br />
Super Fly's defining ability is that it imprisons one occupant inside it.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|Chapter 399}}</ref> It is mentioned that the energy of the sole prisoner is how it sustains itself.<ref name=":1">{{Ch|Chapter 401}}</ref><br />
<br />
Toyohiro is the first prisoner of the tower and cannot leave until someone else steps in it. If that happens, the first of the two to exit the tower is free to leave while the other one must stay inside. Leaving the tower only requires not standing inside the structure, thus Toyohiro could hang on the side of Super Fly while [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] was trapped.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
If the victim attempts to escape it, he or she will be covered in steel to restrict their movements. It is possible the victim could be perpetually covered if they do not pull themselves back in time and Toyohiro claims that any would-be escapee will be absorbed into the tower.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
===Damage Reflection===<br />
<br />
To protect itself, Super Fly also absorbs and reflects any damage done to its structure.<ref name=":2">{{Ch|Chapter 400}}</ref>[[File:SF Damage Reverse.gif|thumb|200px|Super Fly reflects the damage done by Josuke and Okuyasu]]<br />
<br />
If attacked anywhere, be it one of the pillars or a cable belonging to it,<ref name=":1" /> the tower absorbs and redirects the energy of the aggression back to the direction it came from. A Stand's punch can be reflected in the form of a metal copy of the Stand bursting out of the damaged zone and retaliating against the aggressor, but generally, the damage is reflected in the form of energy blasts.<ref name=":2" /> Any foreign object inserted inside the tower is also violently ejected.<ref name=":1" /> Furthermore, if the energy blasts touch the tower again, they simply rebound against it until it hits someone or the energy escapes.<ref name=":3">{{Ch|Chapter 402}}</ref><br />
<br />
Toyohiro takes advantage of this ability offensively: by damaging the tower at specific angles, he can direct the repelled force toward an enemy as a ricocheted attack. Through this method, he was able to pin [[Mikitaka Hazekura]] to a beam by hammering in screws, which were then repelled back out and into Mikitaka,<ref name=":1" /> or make scratches on the structure which fired back toward Josuke and hit him after several rebounds.<ref name=":3" /><br />

A {{Nihongo|'''DISC'''|{{Ruby|DISC|ディスク}}|Disuku}} is an item conjured and manipulated by [[Enrico Pucci]]'s Stand, [[Whitesnake]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
The DISCs are similar in appearance to {{W|Compact disc|compact discs}} but have the word "DISC" engraved on them in capital letters. A [[Stand]] can be seen inside the Stand DISCs while memories can be glanced at in Memory DISCs, although a full examination requires the insertion of the DISC.<br />
<br />
Despite their appearance, the DISCs feel rubbery and elastic,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 22}}</ref> instead of like plastic, making them impervious to physical damage. The DISCs are perennial, existing even long after Whitesnake ceases to exist, and are indestructible unless inserted into a dying person, causing the inserted DISC to slowly crumble.<br />
<br />
Unlike Stands, an ordinary person can see the DISCs.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 48}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Function==<br />
There are two main types of DISCs:<br />
<br />
[[File:DISC property 2.gif|thumb|230px|Star Platinum's DISC]]<br />
<br />
*{{Nihongo4|'''Stand DISC'''|スタンドの{{Ruby|DISC|ディスク}}|Sutando no Disuku}}: These DISCs contain the Stand of the person in question. A person with their Stand DISC taken from them will collapse into a near-death state. Stand DISCs can be inserted into compatible users, even enabling some such as [[Emporio Alnino|Emporio]] to temporarily bypass the one-Stand rule.<ref name="SOC157">{{Ch|SO Chapter 157}}</ref> A Stand DISC may reject an incompatible host (such as [[Star Platinum]]'s did [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]]),<ref name="SOC33">{{Ch|SO Chapter 33}}</ref> so Pucci will typically seek out people whose personalities align with the Stand's abilities, such as the suicidal [[Thunder McQueen]] being granted [[Highway to Hell]].<br />
<br />
<br />
*{{Nihongo4|'''Memory DISC'''|記憶{{Ruby|DISC|ディスク}}|Kioku Disuku}}: These DISCs contain the memories of the person in question. Depending on Pucci's wishes, a Memory DISC can either store the entirety of someone's memory or individual memories.<br />
<br />
[[File:DISC property 1.gif|thumb|left|230px|Ermes reading a memory DISC]]<br />
These DISCs are mainly used to store information and abilities for later use and can be consulted or used by putting the disc inside someone's head.<br />
<br />
Pucci is able to create other types of DISCs. By inserting DISCs, Pucci can command people to follow his bidding. For instance, he can brainwash a guard into thinking he's been ordered to kill Jolyne Cujoh without him dwelling much on why or how he's found himself in her proximity.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 48}}</ref> The orders can be quite extraordinary and even physically impossible. For instance, Pucci has been able to command a frog to explode at a preset distance from him.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 49}}</ref> Some DISCs containing a person's sense, like sight, can be extracted.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 34}}</ref><br />

==Video Games==<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle]]===<br />
The Stand DISCs appear in ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle]]'' as part of one of Pucci's skills and his HHA. During those special moves, Whitesnake steals a DISC from the opponent, disabling their special and Style-related abilities until Pucci takes damage. The characters who don't have Stands are not able to use their respective abilities, such as [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]]'s [[Ripple]] or [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]]'s [[Slow Dancer]].<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The DVD for the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle]]'' [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle OST|OST]] is designed after a DISC.<br />

Since childhood, Fuki has been a big fan of pop culture, including anime, manga, and most notably, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. In a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpUvv4G6z7Q 2014 Interview], she spoke with fellow Japanese singer and voice actresss, {{W|Aya Hirano}}, about her love for the series.

<br />
In 2015,<ref>https://www.discogs.com/Unlucky-Morpheus-Vampir/release/10128090</ref> '''"Unlucky Morpheus"''', released their 5th EP, "Vampir". The 4th track, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z3RcFMO_qg "Phantom Blood"], is very likely a reference to the [[Phantom Blood|arc]] of the same name.

Many references are played out in this short scene, most being homages to [[Stardust Crusaders]]. Upon meeting his date partner, Toucan screams "WRYYYYY", [[Dio Brando]]'s popular cry. As he does so, the camera spins around showing him performing DIO's signature pose from [[Chapter 117]]. All while this occurs the katakana for "Menacing" floats around Toucan. Toucan suddenly stops time, and a [[Stand]]-like figure resembling [[The World]] is temporarily summoned. When Toucan stops time he points towards the viewer in a similar fashion to Dio in [[Chapter 253]] when he first reveals his stand. Once time is stopped, Toucan performs Jotaro's iconic pose from [[Volume 14]]. Afterward, he exclaims "Yare yare daze", Jotaro's signature catchphrase. Finally, once time has resumed, Toucan's co-worker, Lizard, begins mimicking the sound of a phone ringing, similar to how [[Vinegar Doppio]] does in [[Vento Aureo]]<br />

Koyoharu Gotouge, the manga artist of {{W|Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba}}, is a fan of JoJo according to their first editor, Tatsuhiko Katayama. This is confirmed in a twitcasting Q&A session from [https://schoolof.shonenjump.com/ School of Jump] where Gotouge reveals the three series that influenced Demon Slayer were JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Naruto, and Bleach.<ref>https://w.atwiki.jp/kimetsunoyaiba/pages/64.html</ref> Particular influences from JoJo include the breathing method being similar to the [[Ripple]], and the motif of the immortal demon Muzan being reminiscent of [[Dio Brando]].<ref>[https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/17760339/ Kimetsu no Yaiba -- Tatsuhiko Katayama Interview]</ref><br />

There are several other homages to JoJo throughout the manga.<br />
<br />
In Chapter 129, Inosuke charges through a window yelling "WRYYYYYY", which is the battle cry mainly used by [[Dio Brando]] but also a few other characters in JoJo.<br />

'''Chapter 9''': After returning Keita Tsuwabuki's hankercheif, Ichiko makes a remark about feeling reinvigorated, comparing the feeling to wearing a new pair of panties on New Year's Day. This line is taken directly from [[Josuke Higashikata]] after the [[Highway Star (story arc)|Highway Star]] story arc. <br />
<br><br />
'''Chapter 21''': While Nadeshiko Adenokouji is expressing her jealousy and rage with Ichiko and Ranamaru Rindou, the panel layout, art style, and dialogue is a parody of when [[Yoshihiro Kira]] threatens to kill Josuke and [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] if they attempt to pursue his son. <br />

'''Chapter 24''': The panel layout and art style from when the random girl attacks Bobby resembles that of [[Esidisi]] attacking [[Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli|Caesar]] after having taken control of [[Suzi Q]]'s body in ''[[Battle Tendency]]''. The random girl also makes a remark after being defeated, claiming that it felt as if she was possessed. <br />
<br><br />
'''Chapter 40:''' A "Binbōgami Item" that turns a pumpkin into a horse carriage is a redrawing of one of the chariots used during the [[The Wind, the Chariot, and Wamuu (story arc)|battle]] between [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] and [[Wamuu]]. <br />

'''Episode 1:''' While monologuing about her popularity and beauty, Ichiko Sakura imagines herself posing like [[Kars]] from the end of [[Chapter 104]].<br />
<br><br />
'''Episode 6:''' After returning Keita Tsuwabuki's hankercheif, Ichiko's outfit, hair, and art style change entirely, as she recreates the panel of Josuke feeling reinvigorated after the Highway Star story arc.

|If Demitri uses his Midnight Bliss attack on Rose, she'll turn into a gondolier with a Venetian mask. This is a reference to [[Lisa Lisa]] from ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'', which was the basis for Rose's design. There's also a rare chance that she'll turn into [[Enya the Hag]]. In ''Street Fighter V'', her "Nostalgia" alternate costume is the same gondolier outfit.<br />

[[File:Castlevania_Stone_Mask.png|thumb|150px|Stone Mask from Curse of Darkness]]<br />
A Stone Mask can be found in the library in ''Castlevania: Symphony of the Night'', which is where [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]] and [[Dio Brando|Dio]] studied the properties of the [[Stone Mask]]. It appears again in ''Castlevania: Curse of Darkness'', with an appearance much more akin to the one's found in JoJo.<br />
<br />
In ''Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance'', if the Sacred Fist sub-weapon is used without a Spell Book activated, the protagonist shouts "Ora ora ora!" and unleashes a flurry of extremely fast, blur-like punches (in reference to [[Star Platinum]]).<br />
<br />
In ''Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow'', a soul called "Guardian Cagnazzo" can be obtained that makes a Cagnazzo demon appear behind the protagonist and punch wildly whilst shouting "Ora ora ora!" also in another reference to Star Platinum.<br />
<br />
In ''Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow'', one of the boss characters, Zephyr, utilizes time stopping abilities in conjunction with knives (much like DIO). Zephyr even shouts "Toki wo tomare" (Time has stopped). His fight on top of Cursed Clock Tower is another reference to ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'' of the manga.<br />

|The Danganronpa series features many references, scattered all across its three main games. <br />
In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc:<br />
*During his initial introduction, the protagonist, Makoto Naegi, points out that he does not have a [[Stand]]. <br />
*The Japanese delinquent Mondo Oowada is a homage to [[Josuke Higashikata]], sharing Josuke's hairstyle and is easily offended when people make fun of it. He is also the leader of a motorcycle gang named the [[Crazy Diamond]]s.<br />
*The first execution of the game, The 1000 Blows, has Leon Kuwata being hit 1000 times with baseballs, similar to how [[Jolyne Cujoh]] defeats [[Miraschon]]. <br />
*During the optional bath peek on the 3rd day, one of the students, Hifumi Yamada, offers Makoto to [[Pucci|count prime numbers to calm himself down]].<br />
*The villain of the game, Junko Enoshima, has multiple personalities, with one of them constantly acting as Dio and saying "Muda, Muda, Muda" during her Machinegun Talk Battle, and making the JoJo pose. <br />
*One of the items the player can gift is called the Meteorite Arrowhead, a blatant reference to the [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]]. <br />
<br />
In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (also known as Super Danganronpa 2):<br />
*The character Teruteru Hanamura mentioning that people can tell if others are lying by the taste of their sweat. <br />
*During an argument between the two, Monokuma attacks Monomi with a [[Heaven's Door]] parody, and in another occasion attacks her with a flurry of punches while screaming "ORA ORA ORA!!!" and throwing her into a trashcan. <br />
*Coach Nekomaru seems to be a homage to [[Jotaro Kujo]], with elongated, strong cheekbones (stylized as black, thin lines running from his eyes) and an open, black school uniform adorned with oversized chains.<br />
*During her first fight against Coach Nekomaru, Akane Owari screams "MUDADADADADA", a mixture of [[Crazy Diamond]]'s and both [[The World]] and [[Gold Experience]]'s battle cries. <br />
*While discussing the fictional videogame "Twilight Syndrome's Murder Mystery", Ibuki Mioda states that "TWILIGHT SYNDROME'S SECRET HIDDEN PASSAGEWAYS ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!" The sentence, alongside the mannerisms of speech and dialect she adopts for this sentence and this sentence only, are a probable a reference to [[Rudol von Stroheim]] and his infamous quote, "GERMAN TECHNOLOGY IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!"<br />
<br />
In Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony:<br />
*Tsumugi Shirogane states that "thinking logically in these situations is of no use", and that she has decided to "eventually stop thinking altogether", mentioning [[Kars]]' final fate.<br />
*Gonta Gokuhara states that a thing he heard gentlemen do is "go on adventures to find [[Stone Mask|stone masks]]".<br />
*It is revealed that Ryoma Hoshi had a promising career as a tennis player until he singlehandedly killed an entire mafia squad and was sentenced to the death row, only to be freed by the Ultimate Academy, in exchange to become one of its members. This may be a reference to [[Guido Mista]]'s backstory.<br />

[[File:DarkSoulsThornArmor.png|150px|left|thumb|Satake and Miyazaki discussing the armor of thorns]]<br />
According to the interview between Dark Souls' Director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, and Concept Artist, Daisuke Satake, found in ''Design Works'' artbook, the design of the Set of Thorns originated from the concept of the trial of the [[77 Rings]]. In the challenge, combatants must defeat each other and wear the metal rings from each foe, increasing the weight they bear as they continue. The team's original idea was to use this design and try adding spikes to the rings, though it deviated along the way.<br />
<br />
Just before the Iron Golem boss, you can summon a white phantom named Black Iron Tarkus, which is likely a reference to [[Tarkus]], as they share many similarities. They are both large powerful warriors who carry unwieldy weapons and thick armor, who both fall off a cliff in a similar fashion.<br />
<br />
In Dark Souls II, you can encounter a boss called Executioner's Chariot. During the original network test prior to the games release, this boss instead had the name [[Silver Chariot]], referencing the Stand of the same name from Part 3.<br />
<br />
In Dark Souls III, a boss called High Lord Wolnir can be fought in the Catacombs of Carthus. He bears a striking resemblance to Enya Geil's Stand [[Justice]]. He is a colossal skeleton wearing a crown, and even uses fog to attack and harm the players.<br />

Sichte Meister is a homage to [[Dio Brando|DIO]]. Like DIO, Sichte uses knives to attack and has the ability to manipulate time. She also shouts ''"Toki wo tomare!!"'' while freezing time and placing knives that zeros-in on the player in ''Rosenkreuzstilette''.<br />
*In the sequel ''Rosenkreuzstilette ~Freudenstachel~'', she crushes the character with a giant block similar to how DIO dropped a steamroller on Jotaro.<br />
*Sichte also shares resemblance of [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin Noriaki]]'s signature Emerald Splash attack, referenced by her emerald-shooting. Her stage ''Rosenkreuzstilette ~Freudenstachel~'' is a clock tower, refers to where [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]] dies.<br />

{{Main|Street Fighter}}<br />
Lead designer of ''Street Fighter II'', Akira Nishitani, stated in a interview with Polygon that the concept of Dhalsim's ability to stretch his limbs comes from the [[Ripple]] [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli#Attacks|"Zoom Punch" technique]].<ref>http://www.polygon.com/a/street-fighter-2-oral-history/chapter-2</ref> This is reconfirmed in the comment section of Dhalism's bio in the Street Fighter X Tekken Artworks artbook.<br />
<br />
In an interview with producer Noritaka Funamizu, he reveals that Guile's overall appearance was modeled after [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]].<ref>Interview with Noritaka Funamizu - Weekly Famitsu Issue 1998/9/25</ref> Guile's page in ''Street Fighter X Tekken Artworks'' goes into detail, explaining that early designs included Polnareff's vertical, yet modest hairstyle, but at the time the sprites were being made for Street Fighter II, the pixel artist jokingly stretched Guile's hair out to the sides. The team found it amusing and decided to give him "the always distinctive [[Rudol von Stroheim|Stroheim]] look" instead. Noritaka also explains that Guile's name was derived from Polnareff's archenemy, [[J. Geil]], though this was apparently the result of a mix up from the development staff at the time.<br />
<br />
During early stages of development of {{W|Street Fighter II}}, Guile's "Sonic Boom" attack was originally referred to as "Divine Sandstorm", in reference to the character [[Wamuu]].<ref>https://twitter.com/moonq5151/status/972096517652676609</ref><br />
<br />
Rose was inspired by [[Lisa Lisa]], her outfit is almost identical to Lisa Lisa's and both share a similar fighting style that consists of channeling energy into their scarves (Soul Power in the case of Rose and Ripple in the case of Lisa Lisa). Additionally, both characters like to take baths and Rose's stage in ''Street Fighter Alpha 2'' is Venice, which is the same city where [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] meets Lisa Lisa in the story. Furthermore, in ''Capcom Fighting Evolution'', the Midnight Bliss attack would turn her into either a masked gondolier or [[Enya the Hag]] with a tweaked sprite from ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future]]''<br />
<br />
Juri Han has hair and clothes similar to [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]]'s. In addition, Juri has a spider motif and cleaves a butterfly in her official artwork; Jolyne has a butterfly motif and her Stand turns her body into threads and webs + she has spiderweb-patterned clothes. Juri even has the same "ora ora ora" battle cry as Jolyne.<br />
<br />
In Street Fighter V, the DLC character {{W|List_of_Street_Fighter_characters#Seth|Seth}} has many moves based on older Capcom fighting games including [[Heritage for the Future|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future]]. His Hecatoncheires move is based on Jotaro and DIO's Blazing Fists, with the EX version of the attack ending with Jotaro's Star Breaker as Seth yells "ora ora ora". Some successful combos can lead to Seth doing DIO's Time Stop pose.<br />

* Also from King of Fighters, Rugal Bernstein, the main villain of the first two games, wears an outfit which is clearly a toned-down version of DIO's final [[Stardust Crusaders]] get-up, with a black tank top, loose pants, and even belt loops which come down past his hips. Rugal does omit the headband, kneepads, and other elements of DIO's outfit which bore the heart insignia, however, as well as having more ordinary shoes.<br />
* Leona's "Earring Bomb 2: [[Killer Queen|Heart Attack]] sees her attaching a bomb to her opponent. Afterwards, she may either wait until it explodes on its own or detonate it with a secondary command, saying 負けて終わり ("Makete owari." ~ "You lose, it's over."), referencing [[Killer Queen|Bites The Dust]] (transcribed in Japanese as , 負けて死ね, "Makete shine." = "You lose, now die.").<br />

* Mian's Rangurenbu is a (Super) Desperation Move which she performs a series of attacks ending with a fire breath from her Bian Lian mask.

Sakuya Izayoi is a maid who is the servant of the vampires Remilia and Flandre Scarlet. It's generally assumed that she's a tribute to DIO, as she employs the same style of combat (stopping time and using throwing knives) and even has attacks named after DIO's [[The World#abilities|Stand power]]: [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Embodiment_of_Scarlet_Devil/Spell_Cards/Stage_5#Spell_Card_39 Illusion World "The World"] and [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Scarlet_Weather_Rhapsody/Spell_Cards/Sakuya_Izayoi#Spell_Card_5 Sakuya's World].

In [http://en.touhouwiki.net/Double_Dealing_Character Double Dealing Character], one of Sakuya's Spell Cards erases the time (respectively the present and future) of the surrounding bullets and thus erases the bullets.

In the NBC drama {{W|Heroes (American TV series)|Heroes}}, the character Hiro Nakamura is a fan of ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure''. In his blog, he states that he wants to "be like JoJo and Vaan and go on adventures" and that Part 3 is his favorite, especially the fights against the [[Daniel J. D'Arby|D'Arby]] [[Telence T. D'Arby|brothers]]. One of his powers includes time manipulation, a gift shared with both [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] and [[DIO]]. In his blog he also mentions [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]], [[Suzi Q]] and [[Boingo]], whom he compares with Isaac Mendez. Isaac was an artist and comic book author whose works predicted the future just like Boingo's [[Thoth]]. Hiro later manages to stop time for more than 5 seconds and says that "JoJo was wrong" and posts on his blog under the pseudonym Jotaro Kujo. In the episode "Lizards", Hiro uses DIO & [[The World]]'s battle cry "Muda Muda" during the Battle of Twelve Swords. He uses it again to taunt Daphne Millbrook while using his time manipulation ability to escape after taking her medal.<br />

A detailed chronological summary of the life of Dio Brando.<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
==''[[Phantom Blood]]''==<br />
===Early Life (~1867-1881)===<br />
{{quote|He IS PURE EVIL, right down to his very bones! Is he a victim of circumstance, you're wondering? Not on your life! He's been evil since he drew his first breath!|Speedwagon, giving Jonathan his assessment on Dio, {{Ep|Episode 3}}}}<br />
Dio was born the son of [[Dario Brando]], an alcoholic and abusive father who he secretly despised—in part for having caused pain to his mother. For ten years, Dio lived in squalor and was beaten by his father, having to live through the death of his mother. One day, as Dio tried to give his father medicine, Dario beat him for not buying the alcohol he wanted and told him to sell his dead mother's dress to buy more booze. Disgusted and furious, Dio decided to covertly murder his father with a poison he secured from [[Wang Chan]], learning from his dying father of [[George Joestar I|George Joestar]]'s debt while told to take advantage of and seize the Joestar fortune.<br />
<br />
===Youth with Jonathan===<br />
[[File:IWwyd.png|thumb|left|220px|Jonathan and Dio meet for the first time.]]Dio met [[Jonathan Joestar]] immediately after arriving at the [[Joestar Mansion]] and immediately antagonized him by kicking his dog, [[Danny]]. Unimpressed by Jonathan, Dio enacted his plan to wear down Jonathan's spirit through psychological torment. Firstly, Dio victimized Jonathan behind [[George Joestar I]]'s back, for instance beating him, insulting him or stealing his stuff.<ref name="C001">{{Ch|Chapter 1}}</ref> <br />
<br />
In a boxing competition organized by the local youths, Dio challenged Jonathan at a boxing match and wagered their monthly allowance; thanks to his superior experience in fights, Dio easily beat Jonathan, deprived him of his allowance for the month and also took the time to stick his thumb in Jonathan's eye in the middle of a punch. Impressing the local kids with his footwork and technique, and showing them how to make fireworks, he then badmouthed Jonathan to isolate him from his peers. <br />
<br />
[[File:Diobeated.png|thumb|220x220px|Dio beaten by Jonathan]]<br />
Nonetheless, Jonathan found happiness when he became [[Erina Pendleton]]'s boyfriend. Dio decided to shame Erina by forcibly stealing her first kiss, gloating over his devious scheme. However, his joy was cut short as Erina washed herself with some muddy water on the road, the implication of this act making Dio furious to the point of slapping her. Dio's plan eventually backfires when Jonathan learns of it. Furious, JoJo confronts Dio. Dio held the advantage at first, but Jonathan finds the strength to beat him up, bringing Dio to tears. Dio takes out a knife but George interrupts the fight and punishes the boys before it escalates further. During the fight, Dio notices that spikes have sprouted from a [[Stone Mask]] on the wall of the mansion but thinks nothing of it at first.<br />
<br />
Later, Dio ties [[Danny]] up, hides him in a box and throws him in the mansion's incinerator so that the butler accidentally burns the dog down. Nonetheless, Dio notes Jonathan's mental strength and realizes that his plan won't work. Dio decides to play nice and act as if he was Jonathan's friend from then on.<br />
<br />
===Becoming a Vampire===<br />
[[File:Diomask.png|thumb|left|220x220px|Dio putting on the stone mask.]]<br />
Seven years later, both boys attend Hugh Hudson Academy, where Dio intends to graduate as a top law student. Their studies is capped by a rugby match where [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]] and Dio cooperate to score a crucial try. Dio speaks of friendship in front of the university's reporters but privately still loathes Jonathan. During that seven-year span, he had acted brotherly and friendly toward Jonathan to lull the latter into a false sense of security. Now an adult, Dio decides to make his move and take the Joestar fortune by secretly poisoning [[George Joestar I|George]] with the same poison he used to kill [[Dario Brando|Dario]]. Jonathan realized Dio's plot after reading Dario's letter to his father and confronts his half-brother as he brings another dose of poison to George. Jonathan takes the dose and Dio tries to stop him and claims that he's putting their friendship at risk. In response, Jonathan asks Dio to swear on Dario's name that he's being honest and Dio becomes furious as Dario never had any honor. Dio punches JoJo but Jonathan is now a grown man and tosses Dio to the first floor, declaring that he'll prove Dio's crime. Jonathan then leaves for [[Ogre Street]] to seek the source of the poison.<br />
<br />
Determined not to be stopped, Dio plans to subtly kill Jonathan by staging an accident with the [[Stone Mask]]. But upon learning that Jonathan entered [[Ogre Street]], Dio mused he would not need to kill Jonathan himself. While wandering the streets of Liverpool, Dio is still anxious and drinks at the bottle disgusting himself. He encounters two drunkards, who insult him. Provoked, Dio decides to test the mask anyways. By slitting the throat of one while using the mask on the other, Dio unwittingly transforms one of the drunkards into a [[Vampire]] who nearly kills him were it not for a timely sunrise obliterating his attacker. Returning to the Joestar estate, Dio finds Jonathan waiting for him. Dio tries to gain time by begging but [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]] and an ensemble of constables appear to arrest him for attempted murder. Cornered and with nothing left to lose, having tries to kill Jonathan but deals a fatal stab wound to George instead and uses his blood to activate the Stone Mask. The constables shoot Dio repeatedly through a window, only for him to come back to life as a vampire and slaughter them.<br />
<br />
Luring Dio away from Speedwagon, Jonathan battles the Vampire. JoJo grabs a spear but Dio easily bends it and plunges its tip in Jonathan's shoulder. Dio loses time making an elaborate landing but and when he turns back, he sees that Jonathan has disappeared, surely hiding somewhere. He sees blood dripping behind a curtain and lifts it, but is surprised that the other side is on fire. JoJo plans on setting his home aflame in the hopes that the fire will counter Dio's regeneration. Unfazed, Dio digs his feet into the walls of the mansion and walks his way up to Jonathan.<br />
<br />
[[File:Dio&JonathanFalling.jpg|thumb|220x220px|Dio fighting Jonathan as the Joestar Estate burns around them.]]<br />
After a short scuffle on the rooftop, Jonathan tackles Dio into the inferno. Dio breaks Jonathan's ribs and grips the stone, but the gentleman luckily retrieves the spear tip and uses it as a makeshift pickax before using his belt to tie Dio's leg and yank him down. Jonathan stabs Dio, who breaks his arms, but JoJo holds his grip on the Vampire. Dio is sure that he can withstand the flames long enough to escape but then Jonathan kicks the walls, impaling him on a [[Minor Items#Statue of the Goddess of Love|statue of the goddess of love]]; the combination of such a severe injury and the surrounding flames overpowers Dio, who seemingly burns away. <br />
<br />
However, a few days later when [[Wang Chan]] visits the charred remains of the house to find items to sell for profit, Dio resurfaces and drains his blood while vowing vengeance against Jonathan. After recruiting [[Jack the Ripper]], Dio moves to the rural village of [[Windknight's Lot]] where he feeds on the populace to heal his body while building an army of zombies with the intent to take over London. Having sent Wang Chan to assassinate the supposed still recovering Jonathan, Dio is surprised when Wang Chan returns wounded and learns of the only thing besides sunlight that can destroy him: [[Ripple|The Ripple]].<br />
<br />
===In Windknight's Lot===<br />
[[File:DioReappears.jpg|thumb|left|220x220px|Dio appears again before Jonathan.]]<br />
When Jonathan, his Ripple teacher [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]], and Speedwagon reach Windknight's Lot, Dio hypnotizes a local boy named [[Poco]] who lures them to a graveyard filled with the undead. Dio reveals himself at this time, has mostly healed his body, and overwhelms Jonathan and Zeppeli by bypassing their Ripple attacks with his freezing ability. He then summons his strongest zombies, [[Bruford]] and [[Tarkus]], to finish them off as he takes his leave. It is revealed later that Dio had also taken [[Poco's Sister]], whom he attempts to bribe to join his undead legion. Unsuccessful, Dio leaves her at the mercy of [[Doobie]], but Jonathan intervenes before anything grave happens. Finally, confronting Jonathan and the rest of the [[Joestar Group]], Dio steps in to personally kill Jonathan. Nonetheless, [[Dire]] battles Dio first. The Ripple warrior is easily bested by Dio's ice techniques and his body is disintegrated, but Dire manages to injure Dio's eye before expiring. This drives Dio off the edge, summoning his zombies to kill the intruders, while he proceeds to fight Jonathan.<br />
<br />
In the battle that ensues on a balcony, Jonathan uses [[Minor Items#Luck and Pluck|Luck &amp; Pluck]] to sever Dio's right arm and nearly cleave him in half. Dio retaliates by freezing Jonathan's hands through the sword and threatens to cut Jonathan's carotid. Fortunately, Jonathan had plunged the tip of his sword into a flame behind Dio, and the heat transmitted through the metal weakens the freezing effect. Jonathan breaks free, and Dio breaks Luck & Pluck. As Jonathan is reduced to fighting barehanded, Dio's freezing powers give him the advantage once again. However, Jonathan sets his own fists on fire and Dio, unable to freeze Jonathan's punches, cannot defend himself and is hit on the chest by a powerful Ripple-infused blow. The impact sends Dio flying down a cliff and the Ripple disintegrates his body. Yet Dio manages to sever his own head before the Ripple reaches it and survives the fall; a little later, his head is taken to safety by Wang Chan.<br />
<br />
===Killing Jonathan===<br />
[[File:Dioheadstab.png|thumb|210x210px|Dio's head is stabbed by Jonathan]]<br />
Two weeks later, Dio's head infiltrates the boat the newly married Jonathan and Erina use to travel to America and celebrate their honeymoon. Hidden in a [[Minor Items#Dio's Coffin|booby-trapped coffin]], Dio has Wang Chan cause a zombie epidemic on the ship to lure Jonathan to him. Once making himself known to Jonathan while admitting to had an epiphany that their fates are deeply intertwined, Dio reveals his intention to take Jonathan's body as his own. Dio then shoots beams of eye humor at Jonathan's throat in an attempt to instantly kill him, but the attack only fatally wounded Jonathan with his stopped breathing preventing him from using his Ripple. Regardless, Jonathan uses his remaining Ripple to sabotage the ship to explode in a final attempt to end Dio for good. After putting Erina inside the coffin to protect her from the engine's explosion, Jonathan holds Dio's head in his arms. Dio begs Jonathan to let him live while temping him with eternal life but realizes too late that Jonathan had expired. The sinking ship explodes, though Dio succeeds in taking Jonathan's body and sinks into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.<br />
<br />
==Pre-Stardust Crusaders (1983-88)==<br />
[[File:DioCoffin.png|thumb|left|230x230px|Dio's Casket found by fishermen]]<br />
In 1983,<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 117}}</ref><ref name="jojo6251">[[JoJo 6251]]</ref> Dio's casket is recovered off the coast of Africa<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 116}}</ref> by fishermen, who are implied to have been killed by him shortly after. Dio then seems to travel a great deal, ranging from Egypt to Japan. Around July–August 1984, he impregnates a Japanese woman who goes on to give birth to [[Giorno Giovanna]]. He repeats his trysts, impregnating the future mothers of [[Ungalo]], [[Rikiel]] and [[Donatello Versus]]. The following year, he meets [[Enya the Hag]] and gains a [[Stand]] power: [[The World]] as a result of the [[Bow and Arrow]].<ref name="jojo6251" /> During a test of The World's speed, Dio activates its power to stop time and realizes his potential. Later that same year, he encounters [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]] and brainwashes him.<br />
<br />
In 1987, he first meets [[Enrico Pucci]]<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 127}}</ref> while hiding in a church waiting for the sun to set. July of 1988, he goes on to encounter [[Muhammad Avdol]] in Egypt and around the same time, his Stand experiences its first instance of stopping time. In August, he meets [[Noriaki Kakyoin]] while the latter is vacationing in Egypt and brainwashes him as well.<br />
<br />
==[[Stardust Crusaders]] (1987-88)==<br />
<br />
===Recovering in his mansion===<br />
[[File:DioJonathanBody.png|thumb|DIO with Jonathan's Body|220x220px]]The awakened Dio Brando, now referred to as simply "''DIO''", begins his next moves within the later months of 1987.<ref name="jojo6251" /> For much of this time, DIO remains in shadows and the question of exactly what his stand "The World" does is a mystery to the Joestars and their companions. DIO's ambition is to create a perfect world for him and his servants. In the interim, he seeks to drain for himself the blood of the Joestar lineage, which will help him to fully fuse with Jonathan's body and take better control of The World.<br />
<br />
Despite his knowledge that [[Joseph Joestar]] and [[Joestar Group|allies]] are looking for him, he does not make any effort to go confront them himself and instead chooses to remain in his mansion reading or feeding on the blood of women. DIO spends a fair amount of time philosophizing in his mansion with Pucci, while the protagonists battle their way toward him.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 128}}</ref><br />
<br />
When [[Hol Horse]] reports on the defeat of [[Alessi]] and [[Mariah]], DIO questions him about his ability to fight. Feeling humiliated, Hol Horse attempts to shoot DIO from behind but DIO uses The World to disappear and reappear behind the gunman. However, DIO spares Hol Horse as he is impressed and gives him one last chance; for his part, Hol Horse realizes that he's hopelessly outmatched and swears loyalty to DIO. <br />
<br />
Not long afterward, the [[Joestar Group]] finally arrives at his Mansion. When [[Vanilla Ice]] comes to inform him of [[Telence T. D'Arby]]'s defeat, Vanilla volunteers his life to complete DIO's assimilation of Jonathan's body and subsequently slices off his own head. DIO then utilizes his own blood to revive Vanilla as a [[Vampire]]. <br />
<br />
===DIO's World===<br />
{{quote|For the life of me, I can't figure out why you Joestars are so stubborn.|DIO to Jotaro after showing The World's superiority, {{Ep|SC Episode 46}}}}<br />
After Vanilla's defeat, DIO's reveals himself to Polnareff on a set of stairs. He toys with Polnareff for a while and transports him during the stopped time to psych him, but Polnareff's determination holds and he attacks. DIO summons The World - only to be interrupted by Joseph, [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] and Kakyoin breaking down a wall and flooding the stairs with sunlight. [[File:The World DIO.png|thumb|left|DIO reveals his Stand for the first time|239x239px]]The sunlight forces DIO to retreat in the shadows. As the Joestar Group reaches the top of his mansion's tower, DIO punishes [[Nukesaku]] for leading the heroes to him and cuts him into several pieces. Sensing a great danger, the Joestar Group jumps out of the window. <br />
<br />
With the sun setting, the remaining Joestar companions split up into two groups and DIO follows Joseph and Kakyoin, who have commandeered a truck. DIO takes over a limousine and forces the senator [[Wilson Phillips]] to act as a chauffeur. During the car chase, DIO is attacked by Kakyoin's [[Hierophant Green]] but he easily flicks the Emerald Splash away. Summoning The World, DIO lands a heavy punch on Hierophant Green which wounds Kakyoin and inforrms him that The World is a close-range Stand with no away to attack at distance. In order to get close enough to Joseph and Kakyoin's truck, DIO launches the senator at them, thus resulting in their truck crashing into a building. He then follows them as they use their stands to flee across the rooftops, and ends up battling Kakyoin in the process. Kakyoin unravels Hierophant Green to create a great invisible network of tentacles shooting Emerald Splashes from all direction to trap DIO and launches an omnidirectional attack to force DIO to use his ability. DIO uses The World to stop time and destroy the barrier, punching Kakyoin through the stomach. <br />
<br />
Before dying, Kakyoin realizes the nature of The World's time-stop power and uses his last strength to give Joseph a message. DIO wastes no time in catching up to and attacking Joseph, who is able to pass Kakyoin's message to Jotaro. However, DIO stops time and throws a knife into Joseph's throat. Jotaro challenges DIO to a fistfight, but while [[Star Platinum]] is a close match for The World, the latter prevails. Jotaro jumps but DIO stops time to kill him, only to stop as he sees Jotaro's finger twitch. Since Star Platinum and The World are similar, DIO suspects that Jotaro may be able to move in the frozen time. Reassured when he sees that Jotaro is using magnets to fake his movements, DIO attacks but is surprised by Star Platinum who sudenly moves and punches through his stomach. Jotaro is able to move in the stopped time. <br />
<br />
DIO is wounded but quickly recovers by draining a nearby civilian. Unsure about the extent of Jotaro's ability to move during the stopped time, DIO shows off the many knives he's just taken. Jotaro jumps to escape but DIO stops time and surrounds him with knives. Jotaro is hit and falls to the ground, alive but gravely wounded. Jotaro plays dead but DIO wants to make sure of Jotaro's death and thus takes a street sign as an improvised executioner's ax. At this moment, [[Polnareff]] attacks him from behind but DIO's resilience and time power make the attack useless. To distract DIO from Polnareff, Jotaro must move his finger and make DIO refocus on him. More suspicious than ever, DIO tries to listen to Jotaro's breathing and hearbeat, forcing Jotaro to have Star Platinum squeeze his own heart. Satisfied, DIO approaches but Jotaro lands a punch on his head. Stunned, DIO finds himself cornered and opts to flee but Jotaro catches up to him. Star Platinum pummels the Vampire but DIO reveals that his plan was to go to Joseph's body all along and Star Platinum just sent him flying toward Joseph. <br />
<br />
[[File:DIO RoadRoller Anime.png|thumb|DIO drops a steamroller on [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]]|254x254px]] <br />
DIO sucks Joseph's blood and becomes fully synched [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]]'s body, empowering him further. Now DIO is able to stop time for nine seconds. Jotaro wastes his movement for a meaningless clash and DIO is able to pummel Jotaro and send him flying. As a final attack, DIO stops time again and at the last moment, brings a {{MI|Road Roller}} to crush Jotaro with. Jotaro is seemingly crushed and DIO gloats, but the youth then reveals that he's just become able to stop time too. Using this window, Jotaro crushes DIO's legs. DIO, determined not to lose, squirts some blood out of his leg and into Jotaro's eyes. He then attempts to finish him but to no avail. In the end, Jotaro lands a punch that connects with a kick from DIO. Star Platinum's hand breaks but The World is split in two, just like DIO whose body explodes and whose head shatters. Jotaro and doctors from the [[Speedwagon Foundation]] are able to do a blood transfusion between Joseph's body and the lower half of DIO's body. The transfusion is able to revive Joseph, and later they lay DIO's remains in the middle of the Sahara Desert to disintegrate with the rising sun.<br />

==Legacy==<br />
===[[Diamond is Unbreakable]] (1999)===<br />
[[File: DIOpt.4.png|thumb|254x254px|DIO & [[Enya the Hag|Enya]] as remembered by Jotaro]]<br />
<br />
After DIO's death, it is revealed that he, along with Enya, had more affiliates besides those discovered by the Joestar group. The [[Father Nijimura|Nijimura Patriarch]], like others, sold his soul to DIO and had a flesh bud implanted on his forehead, similar to Polnareff and Kakyoin. However, it burst after DIO's death, mutating him for life. Sometime before Enya died, she gave the Nijimura Patriarch one of the [[Arrow]]s in their possession which [[Keicho Nijimura|one of his sons]] used to create Stand users in [[Morioh]]. [[Yoshihiro Kira]] was also revealed to have been given an Arrow before his death. Kira used this Arrow to create more Stand users in Morioh as well, including his own son [[Yoshikage Kira|Yoshikage]].<br />
<br />
===[[Vento Aureo]] (2001)===<br />
[[File:Giorno's DIO Photo.png|thumb|left|DIO's picture in [[Giorno Giovanna|Giorno]]'s Wallet]]<br />
<br />
Around twelve years after their battle in Egypt, Jotaro Kujo learns that DIO had at least one child, utilizing Jonathan's body after his casket was pulled up from the ocean. It is later discovered by [[Koichi Hirose]] that this son was [[Giorno Giovanna]]. Even though Giorno does inherit some of DIO's ruthless and brutal nature, as well as his ambition and charisma, he does not use it for evil ends as he also inherits Jonathan’s noble, polite, and overall kind nature toward good people. <br />
<br />
After DIO's defeat, Polnareff took the Stand arrow from his mansion. This then leads Polnareff to go to Italy and track down [[Diavolo]] after finding out about the arrow in his possession.<br />
<br />
===[[Stone Ocean]] (2012)===<br />
[[File:Dio'sWorld_StoneOcean.png|thumb|DIO featured in ''[[Stone Ocean]]'']]<br />
In the year 2012, the Joestar family learns that [[Enrico Pucci]] encountered DIO shortly prior to and during their journey to Egypt. DIO "healed" Pucci's disfigured foot and gave him a Stand Arrow, speaking about the gravity which draws people together. He then told Pucci to seek him out using the Arrow if he wished to learn more. After a series of unfortunate events that led to Pucci being stabbed by the Arrow and gaining a Stand, he turned to DIO.<br />
<br />
The two would spend a considerable amount of time together, each traversing to the other's location across the world and discussing ways to turn their philosophies into reality. During one of DIO's visits, he suddenly brings up his interest in reaching an ideal heaven, revealing that he had written the plans to do so in a notebook and that he would need Pucci's help in doing so.<ref name="SOC48">{{Ch|SO Chapter 48}}</ref> DIO questioned Pucci's loyalty to him, however, pondering why the latter didn't use [[Whitesnake]] to remove [[The World]] from him. Pucci explained that he loved DIO as he loved God, and thus worshiped him too much to betray him. Ensuring that he wouldn't completely fade, he left one of Jonathan's bones in Pucci's care.<ref name="SOC94">{{Ch|SO Chapter 94}}</ref><br />
<br />
This bone becomes vital to Pucci's plan when one of his underlings, [[Sports Maxx]], uses his Stand to reanimate it. This results in the incubation of a "[[Green Baby|Green Child]]" (which also possessed the Joestar birthmark) that would later merge with Pucci to give him C-Moon and finally [[Made in Heaven]]. Aside from Pucci, several other figures emerge, shown to have ties to DIO: [[Johngalli A.]] is one of DIO's underlings who bears a grudge against the Joestars for DIO's demise, and [[Ungalo]], [[Rikiel]] and [[Donatello Versus]] are, like Giorno, DIO's illegitimate children.<br />

====Background====<br />
[[File:Jorge 5-08.jpg|thumb|left|Dio as a head]]<br />
[[File:Jorge 5-10.jpg|thumb|right|Dio in the water]]<br />
In 1889, Dio escaped from Jonathan's grip as the ship exploded and then decapitated him, taking over his body. Dio's coffin with [[Erina Pendleton|Erina]] inside fell into the water after all the explosions. Erina opened the lid of the box to check if there was anyone floating in the water that she could save, when she saw a hand attempt to grab her arm from under the box. As she attempted to close the lid, Erina saw Dio's terrifying face floating on the water. He impaled Jonathan's feet on a stick of wood embedded on the side of the box, allowing him to travel together with the coffin. When Erina opened the lid, Dio managed to grab [[Lisa Lisa]] out of the coffin and cradled the baby by his chest, using her as a hostage. Dio offered to spare Lisa Lisa if Erina offered her blood to him. As Erina could not refuse, Dio handed back Lisa Lisa and drank a lot of blood from Erina without restraint.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 5-11.jpg|thumb|left|Dio and Erina]]<br />
Erina could hear Dio struggling in pain that night, thrashing against the water and the coffin. As a nurse, Erina knew Jonathan's body would have been rejecting the foreign tissue of Dio's head. Before the sun rose, Dio knocked on the lid and asked to drink Erina's blood once more. In order to keep Erina's body healthy, Dio caught a fist full of fish. Using his Space Ripper Stingy Eyes, he then cooked the fish on a floating piece of ship debris near the coffin. Erina took some fish, chewed it, and then fed it to the baby Lisa Lisa. Noticing Erina wasn't eating any herself, Dio remarked that Erina should keep the baby within her womb healthy as well, which shocked Erina as she did not yet realize that she was pregnant. Erina began eating while Dio drank the sea water and converted it from salt water to fresh water using his vampiric abilities. He then slipped his fingers into Erina and Lisa Lisa's arms to inject water into their bodies. Dio was about to go back into the water and hide underneath the coffin before the sun rose but Erina had realized the coffin had two compartments and told him to get in the bottom layer. However, Dio realized Erina's scheme was to have an easier advantage over him, as Dio being in the bottom compartment would allow Erina to easily lift the lid and have the sun shine on him. Dio threatened Erina for attempting to fool him and drained more of her blood as punishment. Furthermore, Dio pushed Erina into the bottom compartment of the coffin and took Lisa Lisa with him into the top compartment, threatening to eat her if Erina tried something stupid.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 5-12.jpg|thumb|right|Torturing Erina]]<br />
Dio then flipped the box and later used a [[The World|mysterious power]] to kill a bird that was sitting on top of the coffin. After he roasted it, he offered it to Erina, who wondered how Dio managed to open the lid and prepare the meal without entering the sunlight. Over time, Dio started becoming unstable as he verbally harassed and violently tortured Erina. For hours, he would go on about how Erina was useless and it was her fault Jonathan died. When Erina would start crying, Dio changed his tone and acted gentle to keep Erina off balance. When Erina started apologizing, Dio thought she was mocking him and used his invisible power to drag Erina out of the coffin and threw her into the water. She would nearly drown and then Dio would use his power to pull her back into the coffin. This went on for days, and Dio would drink her blood in between. Each time, Erina would be near death but Dio would revive her by feeding her enough to restore what he drank. Although she only heard his voice the whole time without seeing him, Erina felt like his tool after the torture. She lost her sense of reality and even agreed to marry him after the constant manipulation.<br />
<br />
One night, Dio opened the lid of the box and appeared in front of Erina. His wounds were almost completely healed from drinking Erina's blood. Seeing the vampire, Erina finally realized that this man was Dio Brando and not her owner, and she was Erina Joestar. Dio asked Erina to give her new husband a kiss, but Erina had reclaimed her sense of self and remarked that there's no muddy water to wash her mouth with afterwards. Erina realized Dio hadn't changed in the past ten years, and he must have been torturing Erina because he wanted Jonathan to see it, so Jonathan should be somewhere nearby. She knew Dio wouldn't leave Jonathan's head behind on the ship because of his obsessive nature. Believing Jonathan was by her side even if he had become a [[zombie]], Erina was no longer afraid of Dio. After pointing out that Dio was doomed by his shallow mind and overwhelming self-importance, he throws her into the sea out of anger, where she manages to find Jonathan's head hidden under the debris near the coffin.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 5-14.jpg|thumb|right|Dio weakened]]<br />
Dio worriedly pulled Erina out of the water with his mysterious power, exclaiming that Jonathan would eat her because he believed Jonathan became a zombie. Confused as to why Jonathan wasn't doing anything to Erina, Dio wonders how long Jonathan would continue pursuing him. Erina refused to let Dio harm Jonathan's head and grabbed a piece of driftwood, which she then stabbed into the side of her neck. After seeing Dio's shock, Erina laughed in relief before losing consciousness, knowing that Dio couldn't let her die. Erina woke up after receiving blood from Dio, who also stitched her wound using knowledge he learned from various books he previously read. Dio had ended up giving Erina as much blood as he had drank from her, leaving him even weaker than he was before he first confronted Erina. For the first time, Erina realized just how lonely Dio was. Erina could have killed Dio then, but she felt pity for him and placed him into the bottom compartment of the coffin. After she was rescued by a ship, she had the fisherman weigh the coffin down and sink it.<ref name="JORGE5">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 5}}</ref><br />
<br />
While sleeping in his coffin underwater, Dio sees the futures of Jonathan's descendants due to the Stand of Jonathan's body, [[The Passion]]. In the far future, Giorno starts having dreams of Dio who relays orders to him, either due to Dio's [[Beyond]] or from The Passion.<ref name="JORGE15">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 15}}</ref><br />
<br />
====Awakening====<br />
[[File:Jorge 15-39.jpg|thumb|left|Drinking Diavolo's blood]]<br />
Following what he saw in his dream, Giorno becomes his {{JJ|Diavolo|t=2}} persona and jumps into [[Cube House]] with [[George Joestar II|George Joestar]]. They travel back in time from the 37th universe to a ship in the original universe where Dio's coffin was recovered by fishermen. Diavolo yells at Dio to wake up. Hungry, Dio decides to drink some of Diavolo's blood first. As Diavolo's body belongs to Dio's son, his blood is suitable.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 15-40.jpg|thumb|right|Dio with The Passion and The World]]<br />
Diavolo attempts to use [[King Crimson]] but Dio's [[The World]] stops time before he can. Dio then uses the The Passion to see Diavolo's future. Dio kicks Diavolo and stomps on his head, claiming they still have work to do. George witnesses Dio and Diavolo vanish, realizing that they traveled through time as Cube House's effect was still lingering on Diavolo.<ref name="JORGE15" /><br />
<br />
====Time Traveling====<br />
[[File:Jorge 12-14.jpg|thumb|left|Killing Pucci's family from the sky]]<br />
Using Cube House to travel through time, Dio presumably meets {{JJ|Funny Valentine}} and [[The Funniest Valentine]] along the way. At some point, he kills a version of [[Kars/History#Parallel Worlds|Kars]] from a [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap|parallel world]] and takes the [[Pillar Man]]'s body with him.<ref name="JORGE15" /> July, 1997, in the 37th universe, Dio prepares a message on a {{W|Giotto (spacecraft|Giotto probe}}, inscribing [[DIO's Diary|a method of reaching Heaven]]. He uses his Stand to throw the metal plate from the sky onto the home of {{JJ|Enrico Pucci}}{{Universe|37|Enrico Pucci}}, killing Pucci's family.<ref name="JORGE12">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 12}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 15-42.jpg|thumb|right|Dio returns with a dead parallel Kars]]<br />
Dio eventually returns to the ship in the original universe and wakes George up by stomping on his face. Holding a Japanese katana, Dio demonstrates how Jonathan taught him that he could be entirely cut in half but still live. He then decides it's time for George to die, but George believes in his Beyond. He notices that Diavolo had reverted back into Giorno and his Stand was out. Already predicting what Giorno would do, The World grabs [[Gold Experience Requiem]] by the throat before it could touch Dio. Giorno declares that he doesn't mind being killed, but he wants to get Dio's soul to become a double of him. He reveals that he's not the son of the Dio that died robbing a train in the 37th universe, but instead comes from another universe where he canceled his own death and survived in a place between life and death until he arrived in this universe, waiting for Dio.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 15-48.jpg|thumb|left|Giorno becomes a fake double, 'DIO']]<br />
Dio verifies that this Giorno has the [[Joestar Birthmark|Joestar birthmark]] and then thrusts his sword through Giorno's heart without hesitation. George starts crying, angering Dio as to how pathetic Jonathan's son is. Dio then sticks his hand into his chest and tears out half of his soul, claiming that he understands the shape of life now, causing George to realize that Dio spoke as if he had his own Beyond too. George believes in his Beyond, causing the sun to rise in time. However, Dio realizes that the sun isn't hurting him that much, shocking George. Before the sun could fully set, Dio shoves half of his soul into Giorno's corpse, transforming the boy's body into a duplicate of Dio. He then picks up the duplicate Dio, throws him into the coffin, and closes the lid.<br />
<br />
Ecstatic over conquering the sun and the success of his plan, Dio walks up to the body of Kars he brought with him, lying on the desk beside George. He reveals that he had become the Ultimate Life Form by drinking Kars's blood. Dio starts feasting on Kars's remains, claiming the Pillar Man is the best meal that he's ever had. Believing that George is unpredictable since he's a Joestar, Dio decides not to let him die, and demands that George take him to where he wants while the Cube House effect is still on him. He states that he'll sleep for two years until the fake Dio is killed in Egypt, and then he'll collect his Stand back. Afterwards, George will travel with him back in time to the Canary Islands, then England.<ref name="JORGE15" /><br />
<br />
====Final Battle====<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-01.jpg|thumb|right|Dio and Funny Valentine]]<br />
Dio reunites with Funny Valentine in London. Funny introduces Dio to Pucci, [[Jorge Joestar (Joji)|Jorge Joestar]], Kars, {{JJ|Narancia Ghirga}}, and [[Penelope de la Rosa]]. Seeing holes in Dio's hands and feet, Pucci weeps for his lord as arrows appear all over [[Whitesnake]]'s body. Pucci levitates and becomes the center of gravity, unleashing his new Stand [[C-Moon]]. However, C-Moon's body then cracks and [[Made in Heaven]] emerges from it. Just before Pucci could activate Made in Heaven, Dio holds up his hand. The giant wall surrounding Great Britain formed the upside-down upper half of a giant version of Antonio Torres. The giant Antonio looks down at them and grabs Pucci, swallowing him to send him outside of the island's barrier. Pucci then activates Made in Heaven within Antonio's belly, speeding up time outside England. The universe loops 36 times, bringing the island of Great Britain to 2012 in the 37th universe.<ref name="JORGE14">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 14}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-18.jpg|thumb|left|Fighting the original Kars]]<br />
Thrilled about getting closer to his goal of standing on top of the universe, Dio taunts Kars and his enemies. Rather than being irritated, Kars is excited to fight Dio, as Penelope, Narancia, and Jorge watch with fear. Curious of each other's immortality, the two begin fighting. Kars charges forward first and immediately explodes from Dio's punch rush, with bits of his flesh flying in all directions. Dio and Kars constantly explode from each other's attacks, regenerating faster each time and enjoying their immortality to the fullest. Noticing that the sun is setting, Lisa Lisa thinks that Dio has a strategy in mind and must be buying time for it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Dio and The World (Jorge Joestar).jpg|thumb|right|Dio and The World]]<br />
Funny tells Jorge that Pucci's [[Made in Heaven]] was used to reach the next universe, attempting to connect history and create a loop, but instead what he created is a spiral staircase of different universes. 'Funny' mentions that Dio decided to punish Pucci for this sin, and thus he can no longer return to any universe due to [[Gold Experience Requiem]]. Meanwhile, Kars has three giant [[U-Boat Ultimate]] submarines shooting missiles but Dio would regenerate after each barrage. Kars then uses his [[Dune Ultimate|own version]] of [[Goyathlay Soundman]]'s [[Dune]], swallowing Dio up into a massive whirlpool of sand and rubble. Dio breaks through the sand pillar and laughs along with Kars, realizing that neither of them will win against each other. Dio decides to summon The Funniest, who then leaps out of the helicopter without a parachute. At Dio's cue, Funny runs toward the place where The Funniest is about to land and then claps his hands as The Funniest falls into his arms. The Funniest vanishes and then Funny leaps toward Kars. With assistance from Dio's The World positioning Funny in place, Funny claps his hands on the Pillar Man. However, as time resumes, Kars quickly contorts his body to avoid the clap. Dio continues trying to stop time as Funny attempts to trap Kars between his palms but Kars would rapidly contort his body as soon as time resumes. In the moment that Kars smirks stating that he has figured out Dio's Stand, Funny finally succeeds in teleporting him to a parallel world. <br />
<br />
[[File:JorgeDioBeyond.jpg|thumb|left|Dio with his Beyond]]<br />
Due to Kars and Jorge encountering [[Bites the Dust]] in the parallel world, they go back in time one hour, just before Kars was teleported. They arrive back at Piccadilly Circus with Funny about to teleport Kars again, but this time Jorge knows what would happen. Jorge yells out to Kars that Funny will clap twice, allowing Kars to instantly react to both claps. Kars sends Funny flying away with a punch but Dio unleashes the next part of his plan. A parallel world version of Dio grabs Kars from behind him, as a group of nine Funny Valentines and nine The Funniest Valentines surround Kars. 36 hands clap down on Kars and he vanishes once more along with the other Dio. Meanwhile, the group of Funnys collides with the group of The Funniests and they disintegrate into {{W|Menger sponge|Menger sponges}}. Dio laughs over his victory until Jorge tells him to look at the sky. Kars grins down at him, revealing that he learned how to use his own version of Dio's Stand, [[The World Ultimate]]. He had stopped time and escaped from the claps. Wondering where Dio's confidence comes from, Jorge sees a shadowy figure with long hair talking behind Dio, realizing that Dio has a [[Beyond]] too.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-68.jpg|thumb|right|Whitesnake Ultimate punches Dio]]<br />
Dio's Stand becomes The World Ultimate as well, but Kars fights him with Whitesnake Ultimate. It punches Dio's cheek and shatters the DISC of The World Ultimate, dissolving Dio's Stand. Kars then uses Whitesnake Ultimate on himself, slamming the numerous DISCs flowing out of him into Dio's head. Dio's head and body swells up into a ball of flesh from all the DISCs but he remains confident. With an [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], Dio stabs Kars's Whitesnake Ultimate before he explodes into nine parts. Kars attempts to send Dio away with [[Ultimate D4C]] but Dio's body parts fly away, managing to take control of Kars's new [[C-Moon Ultimate Requiem]]. Dio furiously berates Antonio for being worthless and shouts that all he needs to do is inhale the pieces of Dio's body into him. Antonio finally manages to inhale, allowing Dio to travel outside England and achieve [[Made in Heaven Ultimate Requiem]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-94.jpg|thumb|right|Dio in the 2nd universe]]<br />
As Dio starts speeding up time, Funny and The Funniest discover that Dio is headed for the second universe where the original [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]] took place. They realize now that the corpse of the "holy man" was actually just the body parts of Dio, separated from his fight with Kars. Dio's body couldn't recombine because Kars placed nine blank Stand DISCs into him. Humans and [[vampire]]s can only have one Stand per person, so Dio's body attempted to compensate by splitting into nine pieces.<br />
<br />
Jorge and the others manage to follow Dio by utilizing [[Bites the Dust]] and arrive at Trinity Church in the 2nd universe, where Funny leads them to the secret underground facility. They see a corpse of the [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|parallel world Diego]] on the ground, along with Dio's head and [[Lucy Steel]]. Dio thanks Lucy because her giving birth to the supplemental head of the holy man allowed Dio to reach this spot where all his body parts were gathered without Funny Valentine or anyone in the race suspecting the truth of where the corpse's head had gone.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-108.jpg|thumb|left|Dio's new body]]<br />
As Dio pulls his corpse parts toward his head, [[Erina Pendleton|Erina]] emerges from behind Dio. Erina fuels Dio's anger, stating that even [[Dario Brando]] had the sense to behave in front of [[George Joestar I]], whereas Dio is still trapped by his parent's curse after a century and refuses to take responsibility for anything. Next, Lisa Lisa steps out of the darkness holding her son, [[Joseph Joestar]]. Dio roars with confusion as to why Lisa Lisa would bring her baby to a battle zone. Erina then calls for Jorge to show himself, surprising Dio even more. Jorge's plan of catching Dio off guard was working. With the help of Kars and Funny, Jorge cuts off the supplemental head of the Saint's Corpse and places the head of Jonathan in its place. Jonathan's head matches perfectly, as it was his original body. Jorge knows that all of this had become possible due to him, the other George, and Dio all sharing the same Beyond, known as The Trinity. Enraged, Dio yells at him to stop because it's his own body. However, Jonathan ends up reviving.<br />
<br />
Frustrated about constantly losing to the [[Joestar Family|Joestars]], Dio attaches himself to the headless body of Diego. Dissatisfied, Dio declares he does not want to associate with the Joestars anymore and vanishes into the darkness of the stairs behind him.<ref name="JORGE16">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 16}}</ref><br />

===Alternate Dio===<br />
====Parallel World====<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-59.jpg|thumb|right|Parallel Dio grabs Kars]]<br />
{{JJ|Funny Valentine}} goes to [[The Funniest Valentine]]'s parallel world and finds a version of Dio Brando there. He brings the parallel Dio to the base world as part of the original Dio's plan to trap Kars.<br />

This Dio grabs Kars from behind him, as a group of nine Funny Valentines and nine The Funniest Valentines surround him. 36 hands clap down on Kars and the other Dio, causing the other Dio to be sent to another world.<ref name="JORGE16" /><br />

[[File:Jorge 12-16.jpg|thumb|right|37th universe's Dio]]<br />
An incarnation of Dio appears in the 37th universe, living in America with his adoptive father, {{JJ|George Joestar I}}{{Universe|37|George Joestar I}}, and adoptive brother, {{JJ|Jonathan Joestar|t=2}}{{Universe|37|Jonathan Joestar}}. <br />
<br />
Jonathan's grandson, {{JJ|Joseph Joestar}}{{Universe|37|Joseph Joestar}}, describes Dio as a piece of scum. Joseph detests Dio so much that he only refers to him as "D", not wanting to say his full name. In 1889, Dio tries robbing a train but Jonathan attempts to stop him. They both end up dying in a train accident.<ref name="JORGE12" /><br />

{{Nihongo|'''Rudol von Stroheim'''|ルドル・フォン・シュトロハイム|Rudoru fon Shutorohaimu}} is a [[:Category:Primary Allies|primary ally]] featured in the second part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Battle Tendency]]''.<br />
<br />
Stroheim is introduced as a [[Nazis|Nazi]] {{W|Sturmbannführer|Major}} researching and experimenting on the [[Pillar Men|Pillar Man]], [[Santana]]. After a close call with death, he is eventually repurposed as a {{W|cyborg}} and promoted to a {{W|Standartenführer|Colonel}}. His unit cooperates with the [[Speedwagon Foundation]] and the [[Ripple]] users to stop the threat of the Pillar Men.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:StroheimAppearance.png|frameless|left|160px]]<br />
Stroheim is a tall, well-built man with masculine facial features. He has a {{W|flattop}} haircut that appears particularly wide. <br />
<br />
As part of the German military, he wears the army uniform, consisting of a {{W|Uniforms of the German Army (1935–1945)|Model 1936 tunic}} and a {{W|Peaked cap|peaked cap}} known as a Schirmmütze. His cap has a stylized eagle ({{W|Reichsadler|Parteiadler}}) emblem in the center.<br />
<br />
Later, he acquires complex metallic cybernetic prosthetic implants, such as the section of his face surrounding his right eye, which is additionally covered by a sort of {{W|Monocle|monocle}}. His arms and entire abdomen are replaced, with his torso housing a powerful machine gun.<br />

==Personality==<br />
{{Quote|I may not seem it but I'm a proud German soldier. I was already prepared for this when I accepted this mission! I'm different from you cowardly British wimps. I'd easily give up 2 or 3 limbs for my country!|Rudol von Stroheim, {{Ch|Chapter 60}}}}<br />
<br />
When Stroheim is first introduced, he is a callous and cruel {{W|Schutzstaffel|Nazi}} {{W|Sturmbannführer|Major}} who has the foolish idea to experiment with the [[Stone Mask]] in order to further the power of the {{W|Waffen-SS}}. During his mission in Mexico, Stroheim commits several heinous misdeeds such as capturing locals and forcibly turn them into guinea pigs for his vampire experiments (including women and children),<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 53}}, p.7</ref> or threatening to cut a maid's tongue for slightly cutting him during a shave.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 52}}, p.14</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Stroheim personality.png|thumb|left|Stroheim ready to blow himself up for Germany]]<br />
However, upon being threatened with [[Santana]]'s rampage, he also demonstrates bravery and does not hesitate when trapped in asking Joseph to cut off his leg; or blow himself up with a grenade to kill the invading Santana.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 60}}</ref> This is seen once again when Stroheim gives him a helping hand in defeating Kars and helping Joseph drive him into the volcano with an airplane. Stroheim maintained his bravery up until the Battle of Stalingrad, 1943, where he is said to have fought bravely and died.<ref name="C113" /><br />
<br />
[[File:ThePrimeExampleOfSuperiorGermanScience.png|thumb|Praising German science]]<br />
Likewise, Stroheim respects courage from others, no matter what ethnicity the individual may belong to. His appreciation for valor is seen when he spares one Mexican boy for being willing to sacrifice himself for his cellmates; on the other hand he executed the rest of the prisoners for not having the same spirit, making the boy's sacrifice moot.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 53}}, p.10</ref><br />
<br />
Stroheim is an enthusiastic nationalist. He is particularly proud of his cyborg body; praising "German science" and generally loudly boasting the Germans given the occasion.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 85}}, p.8</ref> His pride occasionally grows into overconfidence and arrogance. Because of it, Stroheim tends to both overestimate himself or his technology and underestimate how formidable the Pillar Men are. Thus, three times during the story, a Pillar Man gets the better of him; first Santana easily escapes his cell and attacks him,<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 56}}, p.18</ref> then his cyborg body is also defeated by Kars<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 85}}, p.19</ref> and finally Stroheim rushing to finish Kars in the battle of the Piz Bernina Ruins allows the Pillar Man to return the UV light against the humans and turn into the Ultimate Lifeform.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 108}}, p.15</ref> On a regular basis, Stroheim also loudly laughs at his foes and point his finger at them when they are in a position of weakness.<br />

|Desc = Thanks to his mechanical limbs, Stroheim possesses a superhuman durability. Since his body is mostly made out of metal, Stroheim possesses a basic durability against attacks. For instance, Stroheim's hand could resist one of Kars' blades. Even if his limbs are destroyed and his midsection is cut, Stroheim can easily survive those wounds and it only takes a couple of days of repair to him to regain his full strength. Moreover, the mechanical nature of the limbs allow Stroheim to move his limbs with surprising freedom, being able to twist them at extreme angles.<br />

===Profile===<br />
As a {{W|Sturmbannführer|Major}} in the Nazi Party, Stroheim is capable of leading his own battalion, as well as any members of the party of lower rank. To this end, Stroheim enforces his rank with a strong sense of pride and most of time, his word is law. As a capable leader, Stroheim often initiates attacks upon command, though the logic behind them usually varies depending on the level of abnormality of the enemy. When cornered, Stroheim's eminent pride in his country will cause him to unquestionably sacrifice himself to take out his target. In terms of combat expertise, it is presumed he is capable of performing the most basic of military skills with ease, including assembling and disassembling military weapons, and making efficient use of said weapons. Stroheim also flaunts a very able-bodied physique and has demonstrated a very high jumping ability.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stroheim cyborg.gif|thumb|220x220px|As a cyborg, Stroheim can casually crush a golf ball]]<br />
After being resurrected as a Cyborg, Stroheim's physical capabilities increased and with it his rank to {{W|Standartenführer|Colonel}} status. As a Cyborg, his strength increases significantly, having been designed with the ability to crush an object with his hand at a pressure of 1,950&nbsp;kg/cm<sup>2</sup> (roughly double Santana's). In this form, Stroheim had also gained partial immortality, being able to survive most attacks, as his mechanical limbs being damaged lessens the effect on his lifeforce. With these limbs, he is capable of bending his body unnaturally, and deflect enemy attacks due to being made of metal. Situated on one side of Stroheim's face is a magnifying device that allows Stroheim to zoom in on objects up to a point where he can study their internal structure.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Battle Tendency===<br />
Stroheim is a German Nazi who accepts the mission of going to Mexico and study one of the [[Pillar Men]], thinking it is a quick way to earn a promotion. Taking over a luxurious hacienda in the desert, Stroheim makes it his personal fortress and laboratory, where is he free to torment the servants. Stroheim takes an injured [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]] to his base. To quickly acquire the needed information regarding the [[Pillar Men]] and Speedwagon's own life, he uses a truth serum. <br />
<br />
[[File:Stroheim in lab.png|thumb|left|Stroheim conducting experiments on Vampires and Santana]]<br />
Stroheim orders preparation for the experiment to begin. He orders a [[Vampire]] starved and locked to test the Pillar Man and visits the prisoners' cell, where locals are put to be later used as food. One prisoner tries to attack him but Stroheim puts a broken pencil in his mouth and uppercuts him. Impressed when a young boy wants to sacrifice himself, Stroheim congratulates him and spares him; instead he orders his guards to execute everyone else. Showing off the cell that is specially designed to contain the [[Pillar Man]], Stroheim begins the injection of blood in the pillar, waking up the man. Dubbing the individual "[[Santana]]" after the warm winds of Mexico, Stroheim is initially amused to see him sip on the wet ground and thinks of him as a primitive being. He sics the starved Vampire on Santana, but witness with fear Santana effortlessly absorb the Vampire. Still confident in his cell, Stroheim is nonetheless shocked to hear Santana speak the modern language. Suddenly, Santana disappears. It is shown that the Pillar Man could twist his body to fit inside of a small opening leading to an air duct.<br />
<br />
Santana reappears in the control room and possesses a [[Santana's Body Host|German soldier]]. Seeing that the experiment is now out of his control, Stroheim orders his [[Santana's Nazi Victims|men]] to fire but the possessed soldier shoots the bullets back at them with his fingers. Thankfully, [[Joseph Joestar]] reveals himself and protects both Stroheim and [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon|Speedwagon]]. Stroheim witnesses Joseph battle Santana but eventually, Joseph is too tired to drag the Pillar Man to the surface. Stroheim steps in and leaps to open the door, only to be hindered by pieces of Santana. Out of options, Stroheim tells Joseph to cut off his leg with an axe hanged on the wall nearby to free him and allow him to open the door to the surface, and the sun. Joseph reluctantly does so, allowing Stroheim to expose Santana to the sun. However, Santana then enters his body through his leg stump. Cornered, Stroheim eventually sacrifices himself by setting off a grenade against him. Before this, Stroheim takes the take to warn Joseph about three other Pillar Men hidden in Rome and of a [[Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli|contact]] Speedwagon knows.<br />
<br />
[[File:StroheimCyborg.png|thumb|240px|Stroheim as a Cyborg]]<br />
Thanks to Nazi science, {{W|Standartenführer|Colonel}} Stroheim is revived with cybernetic parts, which heavy weaponry and a strength designed to take on someone like [[Santana]]. He is deployed in Switzerland with another unit of soldiers and intercepts the [[Red Stone of Aja]] during a train delivery; satisfied, he puts the Stone in his pocket. He also spots the heroes and invites them to his chalet, keeping his identity a secret for the moment. That night, [[Kars]] enters the chalet. Stroheim confronts him in the living room just as [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] barges in. Showing off his strength, Stroheim confidently takes on the [[Pillar Men|Pillar Man]] and uses his stomach machine gun. However, Kars decides to fight seriously and easily cuts the cyborg in half. Kars takes the Red Stone of Aja, but Stroheim reveals an eye laser he shoots Kars with, making him drop the Stone. Thankfully, Joseph and the [[Ripple]] User manage to keep it. Stroheim is sent away for repairs.[[File:StroheimSA.png|thumb|left|220px|Stroheim saves [[Joseph]]]]<br />
<br />
Stroheim appears yet again after being reconstructed with the help of the [[Speedwagon Foundation]] science division and saves [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] from [[Kars]]' impending vampire army just in the nick of time. Kars is defeated by Joseph soon after and is sent falling onto a spikes below, where Stroheim and his division blast him with ultraviolet light. They fail to realize, however, that Kars had donned a [[Stone Mask]] with the [[Red Stone of Aja|Aja]] and are dumbstruck when he achieves his ultimate form and begins killing them off with a squirrel formed from his right hand. <br />
<br />
After Joseph hijacks a Nazi aircraft to lure Kars away, Stroheim reveals himself in the side wing of the plane just before it goes plummeting into an active volcano. After pinning Kars to the front end of the aircraft by shooting his rocket fist at him, he pulls Joseph out of the plane and cushions their fall by sacrificing his cybernetic legs. Stroheim is left helpless as Kars is shown to survive the crash in the lava, but fortunately, Joseph makes the volcano erupts when Kars' [[Ripple]] collides with the Red Stone of Aja, launching both Joseph and him into the air. Stroheim eventually returns to the rest of the group and reports Joseph's supposed death.<br />
<br />
[[File:StroheimFinal.jpg|thumb|Stroheim in Stalingrad]]<br />
After the battle with Kars, Stroheim had Joseph Joestar's severed left hand replaced with an mechanical one as a gift but never meets Joseph again. He died honourably offscreen at the {{W|Battle of Stalingrad|Battle of Stalingrad}} in 1943.<br />

==Video Games==<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|All Star Battle (PS3)]]===<br />
Stroheim makes his first video game appearance in the PS3 title. Appearing as one of the Campaign Surprise Support Characters, where he shoots the opponent's profile with his machine gun (in the same way he attacked [[Kars]] during the events of ''Part 2''), decreasing their health bar by 40% before the fight.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Shooters|Stardust Shooters (Android/iOS)]]===<br />
Stroheim appears as one of the several ''Part 2'' characters who possess a Metal Striker. His FINISH move makes him shooting several bullets of his Torso-Machine Gun at the defeated opponent and his Level 3 special ability allows him to destroy himself after defeat, damaging any Metal Striker near him (enemy or ally).<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)]]===<br />
[[File:Stroheim jojoeoh png.png|frameless|right]]<br />
Stroheim was one of the first characters confirmed to be playable in the game (alongside [[Jotaro Kujo]], [[Joseph Joestar]], [[Noriaki Kakyoin]], [[Josuke Higashikata]], and [[Diego Brando]]).<br />
<br />
Stroheim has the exclusive Style fully named {{nihongo|'''My body! It's the pride of the German people, and the prime example of our superior German Science!'''|ゲルマン民族の最高知能の結晶|Geruman Minzoku no Saikō Chinō no Keshō|German's Highest Intelligence Crystallize}}, shortened to '''The Prime Example of Superior German Science'''.<br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - Heavy Machine Gun Mode'''/'''UV Radiation Mode''': Stroheim switches between his Abdominal Machine Gun and shoulder-mounted UV lights. Heavy Machine Gun Mode allows him long-ranged powers and increased speed and agility, while UV Radiation Mode makes use of two bodyguards and his various UV light components. All attacks involving his UV beams will deal increased damage to Vampires and Pillar Men, similar to Ripple Users. However, while in UV Radiation Mode, he loses movement speed and jump power, as well as the ability to grab onto and climb ledges.<br />
*'''German Science is the best in the world!''': Stroheim stops to strike a pose and perform a very lengthy tirade. Though he is especially vulnerable while performing the skill, he gains a temporarily attack boost that has a duration proportional to how long his tirade lasts before he's attacked, maxing out at him completely finishing it.<br />
*'''So long, you filthy Brit!''': This skill can only be performed when Stroheim is down. He pulls out the Stielhandgranate he used to sacrifice himself and proceeds to hug it, resulting in a massive explosion. Though Stroheim takes roughly a third of a health bar in damage, any opponent caught will take half a health bar in damage. On the other hand, despite being on the floor, Stroheim is open to attacks during the skill that can interrupt him.<br />
*'''Dual Heat Attack - Put an end to you? I'd be delighted!''': Starting in UV Radiation Mode, Stroheim and his bodyguards blind and seer their opponent with all three of their UV beams. While their target is stunned, Stroheim proceeds to switch over to Heavy Machine Gun Mode and launch an extended volley of bullets from his Abdominal Machine Gun before taunting his opponent.<br />
<br />
While in Heavy Machine Gun Mode:<br />
<br />
*'''My bullets will cut you down one by one!''': Stroheim fires a slew of heavy bullets from his Abdominal Machine Gun. Holding down the activation button will extend the attack, though will increase the cooldown on the ability when it ends.<br />
*'''EX - My bullets will cut you down one by one!''': The firing time of the skill is extended, and if Stroheim is on the ground, he is able to cancel it with a Sidestep.<br />
<br />
While in UV Radiation Mode:<br />
<br />
*'''Bodyguard Icon''': Shows the statuses of Stroheim's two bodyguards. If an icon is glowing, that soldier is readily available; If it is dim, they are active and about the stage; If there is a red cross over the icon, that soldier has been incapacitated until Stroheim reactivates UV Radiation Mode.<br />
<br />
*'''My bodyguards will keep you busy!''': Stroheim orders his soldiers to attack. If he is locked-on to a target, they will unleash their UV beams on that specific target. If he is not, they will face outward and unleash their UV beams in order to cover Stroheim's blind spots.<br />
*'''Ultraviolet Radiation Beam!''': Stroheim fires his unblockable UV beam in a wide angle, setting opponent on fire. If his soldiers are available, they will either attack a target if he is locked-on, or simply cover his blind spots if he is not.<br />
*'''EX - Ultraviolet Radiation Beam!''': Stroheim gains unflinching through the attack and damage dealt is increased.<br />

<br />
As in the anime, he's voiced by Atsuhi Imaruoka. ''Eyes of Heaven'' also marks the first time Stroheim appears in a video game as a playable character.<br />
<br />
In the Western release of the game, Stroheim's default outfit (with his military uniform) was removed, most likely due to sensitivity regarding the display of Nazi symbols, despite the uniform not donning the swastika. This also means his artwork had to be slightly edited to remove his uniform.<br />
<br />
====[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven Tournament|Tournament]]====<br />
He is paired with [[Okuyasu Nijimura]] in the ''Eyes of Heaven'' Tournament, but was eliminated in the preliminaries by [[Mariah]] and [[Esidisi]].<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Records|Diamond Records]] (Android/iOS)===<br />
Stroheim appears in Diamond Records as a playable character, both in his initial appearance and as a cyborg.<br />

{{DR|Name=Rudol von Stroheim|Av=StroheimDR|Rarity=5|Type=FightingSpirit<br />
|Desc=Stroheim's first iteration is playable in both the '''Action Battle''' and '''Tactical Battle''' game modes. He has a few unlockable statues under the 'Fighting Spirit' type, ranging from 3 stars to 5 stars.<br />
<br />
Stroheim's moveset in both game modes is comprised of various attacks taking advantage of his arsenal seen in the anime.<br />
|Movelist=<br />
{{Box4|Title=Moveset|bg={{Color|BT}}|height=500px|<br />
{{Row|{{DRAtk}}|Stroheim's basic attack string is a combination of up to five various attacks comprising of different strikes with his hands and kicks. In Tactical Battle, this is cut down to only three hits.|w1=5%}}<br />
{{Row|{{DRAtk|Skill|1}}|Stroheim strikes his opponents once with a shaving razor.|w1=5%}}<br />
{{Row|{{DRAtk|Skill|10}}|Stroheim gurgles and spits out a sip of water from a mug, giving himself a temporary buff. '''(Unlockable)'''|w1=5%}}<br />
{{Row|{{DRAtk|SP|45}}|Stroheim throws a grenade, causing an explosion wherever it lands that damages nearby opponents. In Tactical Battle, this simply damages all opponents present on the stage.|w1=5%}}<br />
{{Row|{{DRAtk|SP|34}}|Stroheim pulls out a machine gun and opens fire on nearby opponents. In Tactical Battle, this hits all opponents present on the stage. '''(Unlockable)'''|w1=5%}}<br />
{{Row|{{DRAtk|SP|11}}|Stroheim pulls out a luger, which he repeatedly fires at opponents as a projectile with lots of range and multiple hits. ''This attack replaces SP Skill 1 in Stroheim's 3 star statue.''|w1=5%}}<br />
{{Row|{{DRAtk|SP|40}}|Stroheim wields a grenade in which he blows up in his hand, sacrificing himself in the process. The explosion created is very powerful. In Action Battle, Stroheim would go down immediately alongside the explosion, however Tactical Battle has a strange issue with the move where he will not fall down until after the explosion animation is finished (as seen in the video featured in the 'Videos' tab).|w1=5%}}<br />
{{Row|{{DRAtk|Skill|1}}|AI Stroheim enemies can attack opponents using an axe, similar to the one Stroheim uses to chop off his own leg in the anime. This is not a skill usable by any of his playable statues, and the reason for this omission is unknown.|w1=5%}}<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*In addition to Stroheim's enthusiastic nationalism, his features are consistent with those of the "{{W|Nazism and race|Nordic race}}" favored in Nazi ideology.<br />
*Stroheim's hair and eventual monocled visage appear to be based on an illustration by Antonio Lopez.<ref>[http://www30.atwiki.jp/ichi-1/pages/12.html ジョジョのパクリ糾弾スレテンプレその1] - アントニオロペス(スペインのファッションイラストレーター)</ref><br />
*In the Japanese release of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven]]'', Stroheim's default costume is his Nazi officer uniform. In the game's release outside of Japan, however, this costume is removed from the game entirely and his default costume is changed to his cyborg appearance.<br />
*There is concept art of Stroheim in ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future]]'', indicating that he was originally set to appear in the game during development.<br />

{{Quote|{{Nihongo2|German science is the greatest in the world!!!|ドイツの科学は世界一ィィィィ!|Doitsu no kagaku wa sekai ichiǃ}}|Stroheim about his cyborg body, {{Ch|Chapter 86}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Rudol von Stroheim'''|ルドル・フォン・シュトロハイム|Rudoru fon Shutorohaimu}} is a [[:Category:Primary Allies|primary ally]] featured in the second part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Battle Tendency]]''.<br />
<br />
Stroheim is introduced as a [[Nazis|Nazi]] {{W|Sturmbannführer|Major}} researching and experimenting on the [[Pillar Men|Pillar Man]], [[Santana]]. After a close call with death, he is eventually repurposed as a {{W|cyborg}} and promoted to a {{W|Standartenführer|Colonel}}. His unit cooperates with the [[Speedwagon Foundation]] and the [[Ripple]] users to stop the threat of the Pillar Men. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Stroheim is a tall, well-built man with masculine facial features. He has a {{W|flattop}} haircut that appears particularly wide. <br />
<br />
As part of the German military, he wears the army uniform, consisting of a {{W|Uniforms of the German Army (1935–1945)|Model 1936 tunic}} and a {{W|Peaked cap|peaked cap}} known as a Schirmmütze. His cap has a stylized eagle ({{W|Reichsadler|Parteiadler}}) emblem in the center.<br />
<br />
Later, he acquires complex metallic cybernetic prosthetic implants, such as the section of his face surrounding his right eye, which is additionally covered by a sort of {{W|Monocle|monocle}}. His arms and entire abdomen are replaced, with his torso housing a powerful machine gun.<br />

==Personality==<br />
{{Quote|I may not seem it but I'm a proud German soldier. I was already prepared for this when I accepted this mission! I'm different from you cowardly British wimps. I'd easily give up 2 or 3 limbs for my country!|Rudol von Stroheim, {{Ch|Chapter 60}}}}<br />
<br />
When Stroheim is first introduced, he is a callous and cruel {{W|Schutzstaffel|Nazi}} {{W|Sturmbannführer|Major}} who has the foolish idea to experiment with the [[Stone Mask]] in order to further the power of the {{W|Waffen-SS}}. During his mission in Mexico, Stroheim commits several heinous misdeeds such as capturing locals and forcibly turn them into guinea pigs for his vampire experiments (including women and children),<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 53}}, p.7</ref> or threatening to cut a maid's tongue for slightly cutting him during a shave.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 52}}, p.14</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Stroheim personality.png|thumb|left|Stroheim ready to blow himself up for Germany]]<br />
However, upon being threatened with [[Santana]]'s rampage, he also demonstrates bravery and does not hesitate when trapped in asking Joseph to cut off his leg; or blow himself up with a grenade to kill the invading Santana.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 60}}</ref> This is seen once again when Stroheim gives him a helping hand in defeating Kars and helping Joseph drive him into the volcano with an airplane. Stroheim maintained his bravery up until the Battle of Stalingrad, 1943, where he is said to have fought bravely and died.<ref name="C113"/><br />
<br />
[[File:ThePrimeExampleOfSuperiorGermanScience.png|thumb|Praising German science]]<br />
Likewise, Stroheim respects courage from others, no matter what ethnicity the individual may belong to. His appreciation for valor is seen when he spares one Mexican boy for being willing to sacrifice himself for his cellmates; on the other hand he executed the rest of the prisoners for not having the same spirit, making the boy's sacrifice moot.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 53}}, p.10</ref><br />
<br />
Stroheim is an enthusiastic nationalist. He is particularly proud of his cyborg body; praising "German science" and generally loudly boasting the Germans given the occasion.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 85}}, p.8</ref> His pride occasionally grows into overconfidence and arrogance. Because of it, Stroheim tends to both overestimate himself or his technology and underestimate how formidable the Pillar Men are. Thus, three times during the story, a Pillar Man gets the better of him; first Santana easily escapes his cell and attacks him,<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 56}}, p.18</ref> then his cyborg body is also defeated by Kars<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 85}}, p.19</ref> and finally Stroheim rushing to finish Kars in the battle of the Piz Bernina Ruins allows the Pillar Man to return the UV light against the humans and turn into the Ultimate Lifeform.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 108}}, p.15</ref> On a regular basis, Stroheim also loudly laughs at his foes and point his finger at them when they are in a position of weakness.<br />

|Desc = Thanks to his mechanical limbs, Stroheim possesses a superhuman durability. Since his body is mostly made out of metal, Stroheim possesses a basic durability against attacks. For instance, Stroheim's hand could resist one of Kars' blades. Even if his limbs are destroyed and his midsection is cut, Stroheim can easily survive those wounds and it only takes a couple of days of repair to him to regain his full strength. Moreover, the mechanical nature of the limbs allow Stroheim to move his limbs with surprising freedom, being able to twist them at extreme angles.<br />

===Profile===<br />
As a {{W|Sturmbannführer|Major}} in the Nazi Party, Stroheim is capable of leading his own battalion, as well as any members of the party of lower rank. To this end, Stroheim enforces his rank with a strong sense of pride and most of time, his word is law. As a capable leader, Stroheim often initiates attacks upon command, though the logic behind them usually varies depending on the level of abnormality of the enemy. When cornered, Stroheim's eminent pride in his country will cause him to unquestionably sacrifice himself to take out his target. In terms of combat expertise, it is presumed he is capable of performing the most basic of military skills with ease, including assembling and disassembling military weapons, and making efficient use of said weapons. Stroheim also flaunts a very able-bodied physique and has demonstrated a very high jumping ability.<br />
<br />
[[File:Stroheim cyborg.gif|thumb|220x220px|As a cyborg, Stroheim can casually crush a golf ball]]<br />
After being resurrected as a Cyborg, Stroheim's physical capabilities increased and with it his rank to {{W|Standartenführer|Colonel}} status. As a Cyborg, his strength increases significantly, having been designed with the ability to crush an object with his hand at a pressure of 1,950&nbsp;kg/cm<sup>2</sup> (roughly double Santana's). In this form, Stroheim had also gained partial immortality, being able to survive most attacks, as his mechanical limbs being damaged lessens the effect on his lifeforce. With these limbs, he is capable of bending his body unnaturally, and deflect enemy attacks due to being made of metal. Situated on one side of Stroheim's face is a magnifying device that allows Stroheim to zoom in on objects up to a point where he can study their internal structure.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Battle Tendency===<br />
Stroheim is a German Nazi who accepts the mission of going to Mexico and study one of the [[Pillar Men]], thinking it is a quick way to earn a promotion. Taking over a luxurious hacienda in the desert, Stroheim makes it his personal fortress and laboratory, where is he free to torment the servants. Stroheim takes an injured [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]] to his base. To quickly acquire the needed information regarding the [[Pillar Men]] and Speedwagon's own life, he uses a truth serum. <br />
<br />
[[File:Stroheim in lab.png|thumb|left|Stroheim conducting experiments on Vampires and Santana]]<br />
Stroheim orders preparation for the experiment to begin. He orders a [[Vampire]] starved and locked to test the Pillar Man and visits the prisoners' cell, where locals are put to be later used as food. One prisoner tries to attack him but Stroheim puts a broken pencil in his mouth and uppercuts him. Impressed when a young boy wants to sacrifice himself, Stroheim congratulates him and spares him; instead he orders his guards to execute everyone else. Showing off the cell that is specially designed to contain the [[Pillar Man]], Stroheim begins the injection of blood in the pillar, waking up the man. Dubbing the individual "[[Santana]]" after the warm winds of Mexico, Stroheim is initially amused to see him sip on the wet ground and thinks of him as a primitive being. He sics the starved Vampire on Santana, but witness with fear Santana effortlessly absorb the Vampire. Still confident in his cell, Stroheim is nonetheless shocked to hear Santana speak the modern language. Suddenly, Santana disappears. It is shown that the Pillar Man could twist his body to fit inside of a small opening leading to an air duct.<br />
<br />
Santana reappears in the control room and possesses a [[Santana's Body Host|German soldier]]. Seeing that the experiment is now out of his control, Stroheim orders his [[Santana's Nazi Victims|men]] to fire but the possessed soldier shoots the bullets back at them with his fingers. Thankfully, [[Joseph Joestar]] reveals himself and protects both Stroheim and [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon|Speedwagon]]. Stroheim witnesses Joseph battle Santana but eventually, Joseph is too tired to drag the Pillar Man to the surface. Stroheim steps in and leaps to open the door, only to be hindered by pieces of Santana. Out of options, Stroheim tells Joseph to cut off his leg with an axe hanged on the wall nearby to free him and allow him to open the door to the surface, and the sun. Joseph reluctantly does so, allowing Stroheim to expose Santana to the sun. However, Santana then enters his body through his leg stump. Cornered, Stroheim eventually sacrifices himself by setting off a grenade against him. Before this, Stroheim takes the take to warn Joseph about three other Pillar Men hidden in Rome and of a [[Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli|contact]] Speedwagon knows.<br />
<br />
[[File:StroheimCyborg.png|thumb|240px|Stroheim as a Cyborg]]<br />
Thanks to Nazi science, {{W|Standartenführer|Colonel}} Stroheim is revived with cybernetic parts, which heavy weaponry and a strength designed to take on someone like [[Santana]]. He is deployed in Switzerland with another unit of soldiers and intercepts the [[Red Stone of Aja]] during a train delivery; satisfied, he puts the Stone in his pocket. He also spots the heroes and invites them to his chalet, keeping his identity a secret for the moment. That night, [[Kars]] enters the chalet. Stroheim confronts him in the living room just as [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] barges in. Showing off his strength, Stroheim confidently takes on the [[Pillar Men|Pillar Man]] and uses his stomach machine gun. However, Kars decides to fight seriously and easily cuts the cyborg in half. Kars takes the Red Stone of Aja, but Stroheim reveals an eye laser he shoots Kars with, making him drop the Stone. Thankfully, Joseph and the [[Ripple]] User manage to keep it. Stroheim is sent away for repairs.[[File:StroheimSA.png|thumb|left|220px|Stroheim saves [[Joseph]]]]<br />
<br />
Stroheim appears yet again after being reconstructed with the help of the [[Speedwagon Foundation]] science division and saves [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] from [[Kars]]' impending vampire army just in the nick of time. Kars is defeated by Joseph soon after and is sent falling onto a spikes below, where Stroheim and his division blast him with ultraviolet light. They fail to realize, however, that Kars had donned a [[Stone Mask]] with the [[Red Stone of Aja|Aja]] and are dumbstruck when he achieves his ultimate form and begins killing them off with a squirrel formed from his right hand. <br />
<br />
After Joseph hijacks a Nazi aircraft to lure Kars away, Stroheim reveals himself in the side wing of the plane just before it goes plummeting into an active volcano. After pinning Kars to the front end of the aircraft by shooting his rocket fist at him, he pulls Joseph out of the plane and cushions their fall by sacrificing his cybernetic legs. Stroheim is left helpless as Kars is shown to survive the crash in the lava, but fortunately, Joseph makes the volcano erupts when Kars' [[Ripple]] collides with the Red Stone of Aja, launching both Joseph and him into the air. Stroheim eventually returns to the rest of the group and reports Joseph's supposed death.<br />
<br />
[[File:StroheimFinal.jpg|thumb|Stroheim in Stalingrad]]<br />
After the battle with Kars, Stroheim had Joseph Joestar's severed left hand replaced with an mechanical one as a gift but never meets Joseph again. He died honourably offscreen at the {{W|Battle of Stalingrad|battle of Stalingrad}} in 1943.<br />

==Video Games==<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|All Star Battle (PS3)]]===<br />
Stroheim makes his first video game appearance in the PS3 title. Appearing as one of the Campaign Surprise Support Characters, where he shoots the opponent's profile with his machine gun (in the same way he attacked [[Kars]] during the events of ''Part 2''), decreasing their health bar by 40% before the fight.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Shooters|Stardust Shooters (Android/iOS)]]===<br />
Stroheim appears as one of the several ''Part 2'' characters who possess a Metal Striker. His FINISH move makes him shooting several bullets of his Torso-Machine Gun at the defeated opponent and his Level 3 special ability allows him to destroy himself after defeat, damaging any Metal Striker near him (enemy or ally).<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)]]===<br />
[[File:Stroheim jojoeoh png.png|frameless|right]]<br />
Stroheim was one of the first characters confirmed to be playable in the game (alongside [[Jotaro Kujo]], [[Joseph Joestar]], [[Noriaki Kakyoin]], [[Josuke Higashikata]], and [[Diego Brando]]).<br />
<br />
Stroheim has the exclusive Style fully named {{nihongo|'''My body! It's the pride of the German people, and the prime example of our superior German Science!'''|ゲルマン民族の最高知能の結晶|Geruman Minzoku no Saikō Chinō no Keshō|German's Highest Intelligence Crystallize}}, shortened to '''The Prime Example of Superior German Science'''.<br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - Heavy Machine Gun Mode'''/'''UV Radiation Mode''': Stroheim switches between his Abdominal Machine Gun and shoulder-mounted UV lights. Heavy Machine Gun Mode allows him long-ranged powers and increased speed and agility, while UV Radiation Mode makes use of two bodyguards and his various UV light components. All attacks involving his UV beams will deal increased damage to Vampires and Pillar Men, similar to Ripple Users. However, while in UV Radiation Mode, he loses movement speed and jump power, as well as the ability to grab onto and climb ledges.<br />
*'''German Science is the best in the world!''': Stroheim stops to strike a pose and perform a very lengthy tirade. Though he is especially vulnerable while performing the skill, he gains a temporarily attack boost that has a duration proportional to how long his tirade lasts before he's attacked, maxing out at him completely finishing it.<br />
*'''So long, you filthy Brit!''': This skill can only be performed when Stroheim is down. He pulls out the Stielhandgranate he used to sacrifice himself and proceeds to hug it, resulting in a massive explosion. Though Stroheim takes roughly a third of a health bar in damage, any opponent caught will take half a health bar in damage. On the other hand, despite being on the floor, Stroheim is open to attacks during the skill that can interrupt him.<br />
*'''Dual Heat Attack - Put an end to you? I'd be delighted!''': Starting in UV Radiation Mode, Stroheim and his bodyguards blind and seer their opponent with all three of their UV beams. While their target is stunned, Stroheim proceeds to switch over to Heavy Machine Gun Mode and launch an extended volley of bullets from his Abdominal Machine Gun before taunting his opponent.<br />
<br />
While in Heavy Machine Gun Mode:<br />
<br />
*'''My bullets will cut you down one by one!''': Stroheim fires a slew of heavy bullets from his Abdominal Machine Gun. Holding down the activation button will extend the attack, though will increase the cooldown on the ability when it ends.<br />
*'''EX - My bullets will cut you down one by one!''': The firing time of the skill is extended, and if Stroheim is on the ground, he is able to cancel it with a Sidestep.<br />
<br />
While in UV Radiation Mode:<br />
<br />
*'''Bodyguard Icon''': Shows the statuses of Stroheim's two bodyguards. If an icon is glowing, that soldier is readily available; If it is dim, they are active and about the stage; If there is a red cross over the icon, that soldier has been incapacitated until Stroheim reactivates UV Radiation Mode.<br />
<br />
*'''My bodyguards will keep you busy!''': Stroheim orders his soldiers to attack. If he is locked-on to a target, they will unleash their UV beams on that specific target. If he is not, they will face outward and unleash their UV beams in order to cover Stroheim's blind spots.<br />
*'''Ultraviolet Radiation Beam!''': Stroheim fires his unblockable UV beam in a wide angle, setting opponent on fire. If his soldiers are available, they will either attack a target if he is locked-on, or simply cover his blind spots if he is not.<br />
*'''EX - Ultraviolet Radiation Beam!''': Stroheim gains unflinching through the attack and damage dealt is increased.<br />
<br />
=====JoJolities=====<br />
<br />
*'''My right leg is still a bit creaky, though!''': Stroheim must switch to UV Radiation Mode. (200 Points)<br />
*'''We're more than enough to finish you off!''': Stroheim must use "My bodyguards will keep you busy!" twice. (200 Points)<br />
*'''I can't let you go there alone!''': Stroheim must successfully execute 5 Combo Breakers. (300 Points)<br />
*'''I have surpassed the entire human race!''': Stroheim must use "German Science is the best in the world!" 3 times. (500 Points)<br />
*'''I'd be delighted!''': Stroheim must Retire an opponent with his Dual Heat Attack. (800 Points)<br />
<br />
As in the anime, he's voiced by Atsuhi Imaruoka. ''Eyes of Heaven'' also marks the first time Stroheim appears in a video game as a playable character.<br />
<br />
In the Western release of the game, Stroheim's default outfit (with his military uniform) was removed, most likely due to sensitivity regarding the display of Nazi symbols, despite the uniform not donning the swastika. This also means his artwork had to be slightly edited to remove his uniform.<br />
<br />
====[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven Tournament|Tournament]]====<br />
He is paired with [[Okuyasu Nijimura]] in the ''Eyes of Heaven'' Tournament, but was eliminated in the preliminaries by [[Mariah]] and [[Esidisi]].<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*In addition to Stroheim's enthusiastic nationalism, his features are consistent with those of the "{{W|Nazism and race|Nordic race}}" favored in Nazi ideology.<br />
*Stroheim's hair and eventual monocled visage appear to be based on an illustration by Antonio Lopez.<ref>[http://www30.atwiki.jp/ichi-1/pages/12.html ジョジョのパクリ糾弾スレテンプレその1] - アントニオロペス(スペインのファッションイラストレーター)</ref><br />
*In the Japanese release of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven]]'', Stroheim's default costume is his Nazi officer uniform. In the game's release outside of Japan, however, this costume is removed from the game entirely and his default costume is changed to his cyborg appearance.<br />
*There is concept art of Stroheim in ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future]]'', indicating that he was originally set to appear in the game during development.<br />

{{Quote|Yasuho-chan, [...] it looks like we ran into each other at a good time... Seems that's always the way with us...|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], [[JJL Chapter 84]]}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Present in ''[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]'' as a silhouette but fully introduced in the ''[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves]]'' story arc, he plays a major role in the ''[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|Wonder of You (The Miracle Of Your Love)]]''. <br />
<br />
He is [[Yasuho Hirose]]'s ex-boyfriend from high school and a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] with ties to the hospital's head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]]. <br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], and is also the mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru seems to love Yasuho...|222x222px]]<br />
Like many Rock Humans, Tooru has grown to develop antisocial tendencies as a result of the first 17 years of his life being defined by solitude. While he's able to conduct himself personably and often behaves in a casual, upbeat manner, Tooru's authentic personality has an incredible sense of ruthlessness to it. This is best demonstrated by his [[Wonder of U|particularly dangerous misfortune-based stand ability]], as well as his apparent apathy toward the suffering of Yasuho, who he had interacted on positive terms with just hours prior.<br />
<br />
[[File:TooruRokakaka.png|thumb|...but ultimately would throw her away to get the Locacaca]]<br />
Tooru is extremely ambitious and knowledgeable in both technology and medicine. However, Tooru also has a history of feeling as though his youthful appearance serves as a road-block in his ability to live up to his full potential. Notably, he attempted to pitch an innovative new idea to a number of prominent tech companies only to be dismissed as a result of his age and presumed lack of experience. As he explained to Yasuho, this caused him a period of prolonged anxiety and frustration over the idea that his life was going by without any achievements to his name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}, p.23-25</ref> However, it is unknown whether that story is true or not. Tooru's main project is the cultivation of the [[Locacaca]] and creation of medicine in order to secure wealth and power. With his [[Locacaca Organization]], Tooru set up a profitable scheme by healing the wealthy with the Locacaca, created or had someone create the miracle medicine Locacaca6251 as the next step of his plan, and took an interest for the new Locacaca, musing about the riches and the power he could secure by exploiting the new fruit's [[Equivalent Exchange]].<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
<br />
Tooru has a somewhat unusual affection with [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. It is shown that he met her when she was a little girl and she unwittingly helped him find someone to impersonate. Tooru says he had some fun discussing with her and hoped to meet her again.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref> At one point, he became her boyfriend, and cherishes the memories he's had with her. Upon his introduction, Tooru wished to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}, p.41</ref> Having previously grown apart due to his aforementioned period of poor mental health, Tooru is not only friendly but also flirty with her. For instance, he doesn't hesitate to touch her in an intimate manner<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}, p.31</ref> and isn't disturbed that Yasuho openly rejects his advances, being sure that she has feelings for him. He occasionally teases her too, openly reminding her of their experiences together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 81}}, p.29</ref> Tooru's affection results in his relative mercy towards Yasuho, as when she confronts him, Tooru takes the time to warn her about his powers and proposes that she walks away to stay safe.<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
<br />
Tooru seems to have an appreciation for Western music and is seen listening to songs such as {{W|Crazy Train}} by {{W|Ozzy Osbourne}} and {{W|The Wonder of You}}, the version sung by {{W|Elvis Presley}}.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}}, p.23-24</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wonder of U}}<br />
<br />
Tooru is a [[Rock Human]], as well as the user of the stand [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U is able to create illusions which can be sent after a specific target. It can disguise itself and take on the appearance of a human, allowing it to interact with non-stand users. It can also create projections of itself, which can travel quickly between locations by phasing into and appearing on transparent surfaces, such as windows or picture frames. Wonder of U's ability is automatic and can be activated on any person who has looked at its back in either an attempt to pursue it, or otherwise moves toward it. <br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience various instances of conflict which seemingly play out in the most devastating way imaginable. These calamities often involve an affected person repeatedly colliding with objects in their environment, resulting in far greater injury than is possible under normal circumstances. The ability's trigger is sensitive, as Mitsuba simply questioning the presence of Satoru Akefu at the [[Higashikata House]] was enough to activate it. The range of the ability is unknown, but it appears to be extremely large, as Josuke and Mamezuku were affected despite being nowhere near Satoru Akefu's supposed whereabouts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Tooru Emergence.png|thumb|Tooru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Tooru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He made up his own name, as with other Rock Humans, however his last name is unknown, and it is unknown if he stole the identity of another human or not.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then travelled to Morioh and entered society undetected. It is implied that he had a hand in killing [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father as [[Wonder of U]]'s human form was briefly seen at [[Mamezuku's Father]]'s funeral.<ref name="JJL99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Roughly ten years before the events of [[JoJolion]], Tooru meets a young [[Yasuho Hirose]], then a little girl. Noticing how she used her [[Stand]] [[Paisley Park]] to search through her mother's phone, Tooru impresses her by scraping {{MI|Tooru's Rocks|two rocks}} together to make a fire while assuaging her doubts about him. Tooru asks for a favor and tells her to help him find someone, stating that he doesn't know their name but that he knows they are an elderly with a medical license and that they live alone and are isolated from their family. Yasuho finds him a suitable person for his Stand to impersonate, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Tooru gives Yasuho the rocks to impress the other children at Yasuho's summer camp and disappears into the trees, wishing to meet Yasuho again after she'll have forgotten about him.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref><br />
<br />
It can be inferred that he began impersonating Satoru Akefu with his Stand [[Wonder of U]] after that.<br />
<br />
Tooru and Yasuho were revealed to have dated in High School, although it is unknown why Tooru decided to attend the institution. Yasuho never learned his last name in their time together.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> He then became a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] at an undisclosed date.<ref name="JJL81" /><br />
<br />
===[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]===<br />
Tooru along with his colleague, [[Wu Tomoki]], attempt to meet with [[Poor Tom]] to retrieve the grafted Locacaca branch. They disguise as ambulance drivers and arrive at the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata orchard]]. As Poor Tom approaches the ambulance that Wu and Tooru are in, he is suddenly struck down by a calamity because of his "pursuit" for Tooru, killing him instantly.<ref name="JJL104">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref> While the two manage to grab the branch after leaving Poor Tom behind, they are tricked by [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] into getting an ordinary pear branch instead. They realize it was someone else other than Josuke and Poor Tom who lit the orchard on fire and that the other party now has the real Locacaca branch.<ref name="JJL76">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 76}}</ref><br />
<br />
===[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|The University Hospital]]===<br />
[[File:Tooru yasuho.png|thumb|Tooru meets Yasuho again in the hospital]]<br />
Tooru encounters Yasuho during her confrontation with Wu Tomoki at TG University Hospital. He teases Yasuho about their previous relationship, but otherwise, the two are on good terms, as he is shown following through his promise to relay her message through to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke.]]<br />
<br />
Afterward, Tooru repeatedly crosses paths with her as Yasuho follows Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] across the hospital. Each time, he flirts with Yasuho and tries to remind her of their time together. He ultimately calls Yasuho and leaves a message declaring his love for her and says he wants to get together again. When Josuke gets into trouble after being accused of murdering a patient who died near him, Tooru reassures Yasuho as he promises to testify in favor of Josuke.<br />
<br />
===[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)]]===<br />
[[File: Tooru senses josukes plan.png|thumb|left|240px|Tooru senses Josuke's plan through his stand]]<br />
Tooru later meets Yasuho by the doorsteps of her house. After a speech about Tooru's aspirations and relationship regrets, Tooru asks her again to get back together but Yasuho is distracted by her investigation. Tooru offers his help and shows Yasuho a photograph of [[Satoru Akefu]]. Having seen the doctor's face, as well as confirming a link between him and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], Yasuho decides to go to the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
Tooru doesn't accompany Yasuho but instead eats fast food for lunch. Yasuho calls him and asks him for help since she's injured at the Higashikata estate. Tooru says that he'll call an ambulance but Yasuho refuses, saying that she has a way to heal herself. Interested, Tooru departs for the Higashikata estate. Once there, Tooru ignores Yasuho's suffering and simply observes the estate from the surrounding forest while listening to music. When Satoru realizes Josuke's plan of "inviting" the head doctor to come to him, Tooru shows great intrigue at the sudden development.<br />
<br />
Joshu comes out of the house with the Locacaca plant in his hands and Tooru retreats into the forest to remain unseen. Observing Joshu and Yasuho, Tooru decides to let Yasuho eat the fruit to confirm its power. Plus, he doesn't feel threatened by her. While hiding, Tooru makes some noise, and unwittingly allows Yasuho to realize that he's her enemy.<br />
<br />
Yasuho confidently claims that he is the user of the calamity-causing Stand and a rock human. She dwells on their strange past together such as their first meeting when a young Yasuho was out with her troop. Tooru tells Yasuho that he appreciates her and has fond memories with her, warning her about the danger of her seeing him, since it would activate a calamity, killing her instantly. He then goes on explaining how the Higashikatas are already under this affect, as well as Rai and Josuke who he claims will die soon as well. Yasuho takes Joshu's phone and begins scrolling through the contacts. Tooru again warns her, asking for outsider assistance would count as a pursuit and lead her to be the first to die. Yasuho continues with her action and Tooru states that Yasuho has changed the order of death, meaning that she will die through calamity soon.<br />
<br />
===[[Endless Calamity (story arc)|Endless Calamity]]===<br />
Tooru tells Yasuho that she is going to die next, but Yasuho doesn't listen to him and continues to talk with [[Kei Nijimura]] in order to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Moments later, Tooru receives a wound to the head thanks to the combination of [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles and [[Born This Way]]'s wind power. Tooru realizes that there is indeed a hidden power in Soft & Wet's bubbles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tooru_is_fatally_hit.png|thumb|Tooru is hit by [[Soft & Wet: Go Beyond]]'s bubbles]]<br />
Wounded, Tooru thinks about the nature of the attack. Sure that the "flow of calamity" uses the logic of this world to return any pursuit back at his foes in the form of a calamity, he realizes that Josuke's bubbles contains something from out of this world that isn't subject to the world's logic. Seeing that Josuke is too dangerous, Tooru decides to make his Stand leave the hospital even though he wishes to finish off Josuke. Tooru also reveals himself and confronts Yasuho, asking her to hand him the new [[Locacaca]] to prevent the calamity that will kill Yasuho from destroying it. Joshu, who has regained his senses, stands up and threatens Tooru, who remains unimpressed. The three of them spot something falling from the sky towards them. Tooru guesses that it is the incoming calamity and thus grabs Yasuho to insist she gives her the pot. Joshu thus tries to attack Tooru, but a falling leaf cuts two of his fingers. Overcome with pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the potted Locacaca. Tooru then says his farewell to Yasuho. However, as Josuke keeps shooting bubbles at his [[Wonder of U]], [[Paisley Park]] then suddenly transports one invisible bubble with it from the hospital to the house via the cell phone connection. The bubble then flies towards Tooru.<br />
<br />
The invisible bubble flies towards Tooru, disappearing and reappearing inside of his abdomen. This attack knocks away Tooru with the Locacaca pot and stops Wonder of U's calamity, saving Yasuho from the approaching plane panel that hits the Higashikata house instead. Josuke explains to Yasuho over the phone that the bubble from his shoulder cannot be controlled, but has an "invisible spin", and it was with Paisley Park's help that he was able to overcome the calamity using this profound ability. At the same time, Tooru gets back up and eats the remaining Locacaca fruit and runs towards Yasuho, bleeding out from his injury. [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] attempts to stop him but a rain gutter strikes him on his head knocking him out. Tooru reaches Yasuho preparing to perform the exchange, but just in-time, Yasuho aims the phone at him and another [[Soft & Wet#Soft & Wet: Go Beyond|invisible bubble]] shoots out piercing his chest and throat.

{{Quote|Wheel of Fortune is gonna grind you into hamburger and splatter you all over these rocks!!|ZZ, {{Ch|Chapter 153}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''ZZ'''|ズィー・ズィー |Zī Zī}} is a minor antagonist featured in the 3rd part of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]], ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', specifically the "[[Wheel of Fortune (story arc)|Wheel of Fortune]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
ZZ is another of [[Dio Brando|DIO]]'s assassins who confronts the [[Joestar Group]]. He is a [[Stand]] User who drives his [[Wheel of Fortune]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
ZZ initially seems like an intimidating character due to his large arms and his loud imposing speech.<br />
<br />
To the group's surprise, ZZ is revealed to have large and muscular arms, while the rest of his body is relatively skinny. He's revealed as a rather skinny man although with a noticeable gut. He's got a long-shaped face whose receding hair point upward like a pair of horns. ZZ wears a tank top and jeans. According to Araki, his body was shaped this way only to make a joke.<ref>[[JOJOVELLER]]: STANDS - [[JOJOVELLER/Commentaries|Araki Commentary]]</ref><br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
[[File:Zzendedpart3.png|thumb|"I win! Part 3 is over!"]]<br />
Arrogant and stubborn, ZZ thinks of himself as superior to his enemies and often compares them with bugs and insects in general. He is described as an angry man heavily relying on brute force. He, however, is rather experienced in battle and even rather cunning, managing to trick the Joestar group multiple times and uses his car in imaginative ways. His arrogance is his weakness, as he eventually told his enemies what he was planning to do and the secret behind his technique.<br />
<br />
When his car is destroyed he proves to be a coward who only pretended to be strong, running away without his Stand to protect him. <br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wheel of Fortune}}<br />
<br />
ZZ's Wheel of Fortune can enhance a car into an upgraded and monstrous version of itself, allowing normally impossible driving feats and in general having full control of the car's pieces.<br />

<br />
==History==<br />
===Stardust Crusaders===<br />
[[File:ZZ trailing the heroes.png|thumb|left|Trailing the heroes]]<br />
ZZ is first seen driving his car slowly along the road to Pakistan. [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]], driving the group's jeep, rudely passes the car and kicks up some rocks with the jeep on purpose to taunt the slow driver, but the group soon realize that they are been followed by his car. ZZ then directs his car to pass and begins to drive slowly again, and when he directs them to pass, directs them into the way of an oncoming truck, which [[Star Platinum]] saves them from by stopping the truck and pushing the jeep away from it in midair. ZZ is then seen switching the direction of the sign to Pakistan in order to corner them at a closed road later.<br />
<br />
The group stops for some rest and spots ZZ's car again, which they then give chase. Soon, [[Noriaki Kakyoin]] realizes that the group is headed the wrong way and Polnareff stops the jeep abruptly at the end of a closed road. ZZ then appears from behind and pushes the group's jeep off the cliff. Kakyoin's [[Hierophant Green]], however, manages to hook the jeep's harness onto ZZ's car, stopping their fall. [[Jotaro Kujo]] then directs [[Star Platinum]] to tug on the rope, forcing ZZ's car to back up, and then punches the car, causing ZZ to fall down the cliff.<br />
<br />
[[File:Zzdefeated.png|thumb|ZZ chained to a rock]]<br />
However, ZZ is revealed to have survived and reveals to the group that he was using a Stand, called [[Wheel of Fortune]] and his knowledge of [[Joseph Joestar]]'s name. He then bursts out of the ground in his car, smashes the jeep, and transforms his car into a more aggressive style. He charges at the group and fires gasoline bullets at them through his car, while effortlessly squeezing between crevices and causing spikes to grow out of the wheels to enable it to climb the cliff. After climbing the cliff, ZZ reveals that the gasoline bullets were meant to set them on fire and sets off a spark that sets Jotaro on fire. ZZ proclaims his victory and shouts that he "ended Part 3 early", only to be met with Jotaro's question over who will "replace [him] as the main character" and reveals that he dug a tunnel with Star Platinum and that the only thing that was burned was his jacket.<ref name="C153">Chapter 153: ''[[Chapter 153|Wheel of Fortune (4)]]''</ref> Now defenseless on his side, ZZ is left unable to defend himself as he is propelled out of his own car and plowed into the ground with Star Platinum's barrage of punches. ZZ is then subject to the ridicule of the group as they realize that the rest of his body is skinny and the strong-looking car he drove earlier turned into a smaller car. He is then chained to a rock with a sign nearby that states that he is in {{W|Asceticism|ascetic}} training and would not like to be disturbed. He is robbed of his passport and car, left behind to starve to death.<br />

===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (SFC Game)|''JoJo'' RPG (SFC)]]===<br />
ZZ is one of the many bosses featured in the game. Like in the manga, ZZ attacks the group while they drive in Northern India. The battle has two phases, first Wheel of Fortune will be in its normal form but subsequently takes its fully developed form after dealing sufficient damage. ZZ is eventually defeated.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)]]===<br />
In the "Deadly Traffic" chapter of the Story Mode, the Joestar group encounters him on their way to Pakistan from India. His part in the story plays out much like the manga, though the player must go through several quick time events to defeat him.<br />

|Desc = A young woman from Tokyo whom [[Ojiro Sasame]] has kidnapped, [[Fun Fun Fun|fully branded]], and used as bait for [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]], should Kira return to his apartment. She was forced to suffer being helplessly locked up in Kira's apartment, stripped completely naked and scared. It's also implied that during her time of captivity she was abused by Ojiro and [[Fun Fun Fun|his Stand]]. Despite not being a Stand user and therefore unable to see Stands, she is well aware of Ojiro's ability and knows how it works, which helps Josuke during his conflict with Ojiro. She also believes that Yoshikage Kira was held captive with her.<br />
<br />
When [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] investigate the bathroom in Kira's apartment, they find her sitting in the bathtub completely naked. Yasuho asks Josuke who the woman is, and why that woman is casually going naked in "his" apartment, but Josuke says he doesn't know the woman. Yasuho asks the girl if she's Josuke's girlfriend; instead of answering, the naked woman stands up, pleading them for help, to the two's suspicion. Yasuho then finds a [[Minor Items#Ojiro's Traps|photo album]] that had pictures of the woman in bondage gear with what appeared to be Josuke; Yasuho flees the apartment in despair. While Josuke and the woman are attacked by [[Fun Fun Fun]], the woman claims that both she and Josuke were equal captives in the apartment three days earlier, and given that he escaped, she assumed he had returned to free her. Josuke injures his left hand and foot on subtle hazards scattered inside the room in order for Ojiro's Stand to capture his limbs. The girl advises Josuke to avoid hurting his remaining limbs or he will be at Ojiro's mercy. Josuke is forced into saving the woman from instances of self-harm puppeted by Fun Fun Fun.<br />
<br />
After escaping the bathroom, the naked woman goes up to a ringing phone. She says that it's Ojiro who's calling and that both she and Josuke should remain silent. She then proceeds to say that she's been used by people throughout her life, such as her parents and a boy she liked; that she's treated as an object used for someone's convenience that ends up getting thrown away whenever she's not needed anymore. She proceeds to tell him that she doesn't want to simply die, and then telephones Ojiro to tell him of Josuke's whereabouts in exchange for mercy. Telling Josuke that he's the one at fault and not her, the woman leaves him to die, but is intervened by Yasuho's return. She is present at Ojiro's interrogation, reassuring Josuke that it was Ojiro who kidnapped her, but then runs out while no one was looking; Josuke decides that she can't be blamed at, and leaves her alone.<br />
<br />
Finally free but still naked and now homesick, she hides her naked body in a trash can. A [[Unnamed Characters#Bicycle Kids|couple of boys]] riding by accidentally bump into her can. She stands up in the can, and stumbles around, lamenting about going back home. Then she trips and falls over, humiliating herself in front of the boys.<br />

He ordered Jobin to steal [[Kaato Higashikata|his mother]]'s underwear as well as take a photo of her in the shower.

{{nihongo|'''Dio Brando'''|ディオ・ブランドー|Dio Burandō}}, later known simply as {{Nihongo|'''DIO'''|{{Ruby|DIO|ディオ}}}}, is the [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of the first and third parts of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' and ''[[Stardust Crusaders]],'' as well as a posthumous [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] in the sixth part, ''[[Stone Ocean]]''. His influence is felt throughout all of the first six parts of the series, with major characters such as [[Giorno Giovanna]] and [[Enrico Pucci]] being directly connected to him.<br />
<br />
Originally a man of low birth but peerless ambition, Dio is a villain of little conscience, vast cunning, and an insatiable hunger for power. After becoming a [[vampire]] and later a [[Stand]] user, Dio has gathered around him many [[Agents of DIO|minions]] and is responsible for many major events of the series, from the death of [[Jonathan Joestar]] to the [[Joestar Family]]'s sudden acquisition of Stand power, and his legacy persists throughout the series.<br />
<br />
Dio is the first [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of [[Phantom Blood]] and [[Stardust Crusaders]]. He is also the father of Giorno, the protagonist of ''[[Vento Aureo]]'', as well as a handful of [[Ungalo|other]] [[Rikiel|illegitimate]] [[Donatello Versus|offspring]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
===Phantom Blood===<br />
====Childhood====<br />
[[File:Dio Young Render.png|frameless|left|90px]]<br />
When he first arrives at the Joestar Estate, Dio is seen wearing typical formal boys attire from that era; a blue coat, white dress shirt, a tie, suspenders, breeches, and a pair of striped socks. He has blond hair and 3 moles on the lobule of his left ear.<br />
<br />
*When boxing, he wears a shirt with folded sleeves, overalls, and boxing gloves.<br />
<br />
====Adulthood====<br />
[[File:Dio acrylic.png|frameless|150px|alt=|left]]<br />
Aside from replacing his coat with a vest, Dio's attire hasn't changed much. However, his overall physique and height have increased significantly. During the events where Jonathan sets out to find the antidote for his father's illness, Dio dons a top hat and a new, flamboyant-looking cloak that has feathers jutting out of the shoulders.<br />
<br />
====Vampire====<br />
Dio undergoes drastic physical changes upon using the Stone Mask to transform himself into a vampire. His formerly-clean hair becomes messy and unkempt, his eyes become sharper and adopt a darker outline, and he develops fangs. <br />
<br />
His clothing has changed quite a bit as well after his first battle with Jonathan; most noticeable is the scarf around his neck. He wears an ornate dual-colored shirt and matching breeches, a large pair of boots, vambraces, and two suspenders attached to a band around his waist.<br />
<br />

===Stardust Crusaders===<br />
====Evil Incarnate / Shadow====<br />
[[File:Bg dio r.png|frameless|left|120px]]<br />
DIO does not have a visible face as an effect of the shadowy darkness of his mansion. He has shoulder-length blond hair and is topless, exposing Jonathan's muscular body (on which his head is sewn in place) He wears pants with suspenders, clogs, shiny cuffs on both wrists, and heart-shaped knee guards. In the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' arcade game, his voice is also extra distorted compared to the standard filter used for his other playable version (an effect created by the developers to add a sense of mystery). This form of DIO is commonly referred to as {{Nihongo|'''Evil Incarnate DIO'''|邪悪の化身ディオ|Ja'aku no Keshin DIO}} or '''Shadow DIO''' in certain English localizations.<br />
<br />
====Revealed====<br />
[[File:DIO Anime Render.png|frameless|right|185px]]<br />
Incorporating his previous outfit, DIO dons a jacket with a tight tank-top underneath, as well as chaps with an exposed crotch. His face is now in full-view, and on his head is a heart-adorned circlet to match his knee guards. This is his form during the beginning of the ''[[DIO's World]]'' story arc. In most depictions of him, DIO's outfit is tinted orange or yellow.<br />
<br />
He also wears a necklace covering his neck scar and heart motifs above his feet and on his pant legs, but he quickly stopped sporting them after his first stairway confrontation with [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]].<br />
<br />
When pursuing the Joestar group, DIO donned a cloak that he ended up discarding during his confrontation with [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]].<br />
<br />
====Empowered====<br />
DIO nears his physical peak after draining [[Joseph Joestar]]'s blood. His appearance now is similar to his revealed form, minus the jacket and the heart-shaped headband that was destroyed by [[Star Platinum]]'s attacks. He now sports a deranged and homicidal look and mannerisms, having lost his suave touch. His hair is now disheveled and mostly oriented upwards, while his lips are darker and seem adorned with lipstick. This is his main form during the latter half of the ''[[DIO's World]]'' story arc, often called his 'High' or 'Awakened' form.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
Dio is consistently manipulative and violently domineering, and has repeatedly shown a lack of conscience and empathy.<br />
[[File:Dio_8s_happy.png|thumb|240x240px|DIO is ecstatic when he sees his power growing further]]<br />
Dio's most recognizable characteristics are his boundless ambition and his love of power. Abused by his father and having lived in the most miserable living conditions,<ref name="Ch|Chapter 7">{{Ch|Chapter 7}}</ref> Dio set for himself the goal of becoming the richest, then the most powerful being on Earth. To do so, Dio used anything or anyone that he could in order to further his goals, disregarding any kind of morality that would restrain the range of actions available to him. Using either manipulation, seduction, or plain violence, Dio constantly sought to become more and more powerful. Dio enjoys being in a position of power<ref name=":1">{{Ch|Chapter 2}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Ch|Chapter 4}}</ref> and has repeatedly stated how great he felt being in a dominating position. On the contrary, Dio never tolerated that someone could stand up to him or equal him in power, and was enraged and deeply disturbed at the thought several times.<br />
<br />
Throughout his life, Dio has tended to surround himself with witless cronies and later minions, who were attracted by his natural charisma. Not thinking much of them at first, he then selected those he deemed as particularly evil, claiming that an evil person wasn't bound by rules such as honor and thus were stronger mentally. This belief culminated in including the absorption of 36 souls of sinners, or, as he claims, particularly strong souls, to unlock a power greater than that of his Stand, The World.<br />
[[File:Dio_plotting.png|left|thumb|Dio planning to mentally break Jonathan and usurp his place upon meeting him]]<br />
Naturally, Dio is an incredibly-selfish person, only looking over his own interest and overlooking those of others at best, trampling them on the ground at worst. Due to his composed nature, Dio can and will manipulate and take what he can from all sorts of people, using any method, as long as the person suits his present desires. Since he is selfishly interested in their capabilities, however, Dio is the type who is incapable of loving another person wholeheartedly.<ref name="eureka">[[Interview Archive|2007 Eureka November issue - Interview with Hirohiko Araki]]</ref> The only people he can be said to have held some type of affection for were his mother, Jonathan Joestar, and Enrico Pucci; Dio recognizing Jonathan's worth as equal to his own, and having been friends with Pucci. Still, Dio stole the former's body and his friendship with the latter was proven nonetheless beneficial of a grander plan to further himself.<br />
[[File:Dio charms Kakyoin.jpg|thumb|DIO "charming" Kakyoin to his side]]<br />
When interacting with someone, Dio will constantly try to manipulate them and sway them into his side, using a veneer of gentleness and his natural charm to make people admire and like him. For instance, he acted the model son and popular charismatic friend to Jonathan's father and entourage to better isolate him, and as a Vampire, his charisma only increased as he appeared as a charming mysterious individual. However, his natural arrogance would lead him to openly insult and belittle his enemies, notably disparaging their insignificant strength before his vampiric or Stand powers.<br />
<br />
Dio approaches obstacles and problems in a number of ways depending on the situation and his mood. When he was human, Dio was careful and methodical in trying to break Jonathan's spirit and slowly poisoned George for a sizeable period of time, only being thwarted due to unlucky twists of fate. As a Vampire, DIO at first let his arrogance get the better of him and took a laissez-faire approach, only sending subordinates to kill the Joestar Group while he rested and recovered. However, his defeat by Jonathan taught him to be wary of the Joestar Family in its entirety, thus he would later ambush Jonathan and, during the events of ''Stardust Crusaders'', send his minions to delay the Joestars as much as possible to recover strength. During his final battle, his wariness, tactical acumen and arrogance would clash to make Dio alternate between meticulous approach and overconfident attacks.<br />
<br />
===Part 1 - ''Phantom Blood''===<br />
{{quote|{{Nihongo2|I reject my humanity! JoJo! I will transcend humanity!|おれは人間をやめるぞ!ジョジョーッ!!おれは人間を超越するッ!|Ore wa ningen o yameru zoǃ JoJoǃ Ore wa ningen o chōetsu suru!}}|Dio before donning the [[Stone Mask]]|{{Ch|Chapter 11}}}}<br />
In ''Phantom Blood'', Dio is ambitious, selfish, arrogant, callous and megalomaniacal, seemingly able to do anything to achieve his aims.<br />
[[File:Dio abandons humanity.png|thumb|Dio drops all pretense of good]]<br />
His natural ruthlessness is exposed very early when plans to exploit the Joestar family despite them being kind enough to adopt him.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|Chapter 1}}</ref> In order to place himself in a better position to replace Jonathan Joestar and obtain the Joestar family fortune, Dio used the most underhanded means to break him mentally. These methods included: humiliating Jonathan in public sport fighting, ostracizing him from his friends,<ref name=":1" /> and finally stealing [[Erina Pendleton]]'s first kiss to drive a wedge in their budding relationship.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 3}}</ref> When he is eventually foiled, Dio opted to slowly poison [[George Joestar I]] and kill Jonathan with the Stone Mask to make both deaths seem natural and accidental.<ref name="Ch|Chapter 7" /> Dio has shown a remarkable determination to reach his goal, never losing his drive despite the numerous defeats he suffers throughout ''Phantom Blood'' and always tried to find a way to get back at Jonathan for them.<br />
<br />
Dio's lack of empathy is also apparent, since despite having lived for years with the kind Joestars, he never thought of them as anything more than obstacles, and is hinted to utterly resent the upper class he frequents. Dio had been maintaining a facade of a charming and agreeable person to everyone save Jonathan, yet never came close to anyone. At the end of the part, the only person Dio appreciated was Jonathan Joestar himself, begrudgingly acknowledging his valor as his archenemy<ref name="Ch|Chapter 42">{{Ch|Chapter 42}}</ref> and "granting" him a painless death, and was even shocked to see him die.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 44}}</ref> Overjoyed to have changed into a powerful vampire, Dio spent his battles taunting various humans about their weaknesses and belittling them in favor of the apex predator vampires. Dio also sadistically changed a mother into a zombie just to watch her devour her own baby. When in a position of strength, he also tends to torment them further, such as sneakily sticking his thumb into Jonathan's eye during a punch.<ref name=":1" /><br />
[[File:Dio slapping Erina.png|left|thumb|230x230px|Dio slapping Erina in a fit of anger]]<br />
Dio shows a lack of restraint in his violence, and is prone to murderous outbursts even as far as his childhood, notably trying to stab Jonathan when he beat him up, and violently slapping Erina.<ref name=":2" /> He was also incredibly cruel to Jonathan's dog, [[Danny]], going so far as kicking him on their first meeting.<ref name=":0" /> When Dio was defeated by Jonathan, Dio secretly had Danny incinerated. He is shown to be utterly enraged when someone stands up to him, which is the cause for his outbursts. He himself acknowledged that his anger was a weakness,<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 5}}</ref> but would be all his life unable to truly control himself.<br />
<br />
Dio's personality could be explained by his poor childhood and the abusive relationship he shared with his father, [[Dario Brando]]. Speedwagon, however, rejected this as the cause of Dio's personality, claiming that Dio was simply born this way, and that his poverty had nothing to do with it. True to that, Dio was already an immoral person but then openly relinquishes his {{W|Humanity (virtue)|humanity}} in favor of becoming a [[Vampire]] upon being cornered by the police.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 11}}</ref> He trades his underhanded scheming persona for a more arrogant and hedonistic personality that is dismissive of humanity and revels in evil. Nonetheless, Dio respects determination and said much to Jonathan that his determination was equal to his own, earning him the dubious honor of serving as Dio's new host, after Dio was reduced by Jonathan to a head.<ref name="Ch|Chapter 42" /><br />
<br />
Dio's potential for empathy is implied in both the manga and the anime, when Dio is shown to have killed his own father out of revenge for the abuse against his mother, rather than as a step in his scheme to rise in society.<br />
<br />
Dio has expressed hatred for dogs, considering them vermin.<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
===Part 3 - ''Stardust Crusaders''===<br />
{{Quote|{{Nihongo2|Everyone survives in pursuit of peace of mind... Aren't you uneasy, preparing to fight me, knowing you may die? If you join me, I will give you peace of mind that will last forever.|安心を求める事そ人間の目的だ。そこでだ……わたしに仕えることに何の不安感があるのだ?わたしに仕えるだけで他の全ての安心が簡単に手に入るぞ|Anshin o motomeru koto so ningen no mokutekida. Sokodeda…… watashi ni tsukaeru koto ni nani no fuan-kan ga aru noda? Watashi ni tsukaeru dake de ta no subete no anshin ga kantan ni te ni hairu zo.}}|DIO to Polnareff|{{Ch|Chapter 248}}}}<br />
Reappearing in ''Stardust Crusaders'', DIO did not change much since his burial at the bottom of the ocean for one hundred years, as he remained a remorseless and murderous megalomaniac, but nonetheless he had matured a little by recognizing valor in others and being generally more calm and level-headed.<br />
[[File:Dio_peace_of_mind.png|left|thumb|DIO discussing the true nature of happiness with Polnareff]]<br />
DIO does not appear frequently in ''Stardust Crusaders'' except towards the end, but is seen discussing various philosophies with Stand users he wishes to recruit, and with his already-loyal followers, particularly [[Enya the Hag]] who serves as his main adviser. It seems equally likely that DIO does this to manipulate and persuade as that he believes what he says, but nonetheless acknowledges the power and valor simple humans can have, notably respecting one's willingness to die for his goal. Wishing to quickly dispose of the Joestars, he listened to Enya and was told that she'd already sent agents to deal with them, and quietly rested in his mansion to gain more strength. Furthermore, DIO learned his lesson and stops underestimating his opponents, being particularly careful around the Joestar bloodline. He nonetheless sneered at other Stand Users' efforts to fight him, most notably Kakyoin's, whose discovery ended up being crucial in his defeat.<br />
<br />
This time, DIO is far more calm and collected. Maybe due to knowing that his Stand The World is far above anyone's reach, DIO is more tolerant of people resisting him, and didn't react to Polnareff's taunts and insults. He even seems to appreciate Hol Horse's insubordination, which confirms the mercenary's strength, and let him go try to assassinate Jotaro. However, DIO is still callous about human life and killed anyone who would fail him, even Enya—who was, again, his closest adviser. The usually confident and cunning gambler Daniel D'Arby was driven to madness when he couldn't handle the pressure of possibly revealing DIO's Stand ability to Jotaro.<br />
[[File:Greatest_high.png|thumb|DIO's insanity in full view]]<br />
True to himself, DIO is enjoying the fact that he is wielding the most powerful Stand in his organization, being unconcerned by the heroes' effort to discover his power as he thinks they are meaningless. When Jotaro reveals himself to be able to move within the stopped time, DIO is initially very distraught but recomposes himself quickly, devising other plans to get rid of Jotaro by exploiting his advantage. The full scale of his insanity is visible when, overjoyed to have completely fused with Jonathan's body and being at full power, DIO declares that he was experiencing "the greatest high" and delightfully drills his index finger into his skull. <br />
<br />
DIO’s final speech exposes that he is still willing to use any way to win and despises any concept of honor or revenge, ultimately using a cheap trick to blind Jotaro momentarily. However, this was all for naught since DIO would ultimately meet retribution by dying at Jotaro's hand.<br />
<br />
===Part 6 - ''Stone Ocean''===<br />
{{Quote|{{Nihongo2|What you can find beyond the powers of my Stand is the way forward for humanity. What you need is a trustworthy friend. Will I, DIO, be able to meet someone like this one day?|我がスタンドの先にあるものこそが人間がさらに先に進むべき道なのである。必要なものは信頼できる友である。いつかそのような者にこの{{Ruby|D|デ}}{{Ruby|I|ィ}}{{Ruby|O|オ}}が出会えるだろうか?|Waga Sutando no saki ni aru mono koso ga ningen ga sarani saki ni susumubeki michina no dearu.

[[File:Dio&enrico.png|thumb|230x230px|DIO with Enrico Pucci]]<br />
In flashbacks placed before the events of ''Part 3'', DIO demonstrates a burgeoning ability to be genuinely nice to another person in numerous conversations with [[Enrico Pucci]]. Intrigued by Pucci, who let him be despite suspiciously hiding in a church, DIO healed his crooked foot, a kind gesture, and gave him the head of an [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], which would grant him his own Stand, [[Whitesnake]]. During these flashbacks, DIO is able to open up with him on multiple subjects, and confiding to Pucci that the priest could make him be at peace. Once daring Pucci to steal his Stand, to Pucci's refusal, DIO thanked him for his fidelity, and even admitted that he feared the thought of Pucci betraying him.<br />
<br />
It is debatable how good a friend DIO truly was, considering Pucci's good-willed nature during his youth directly opposing his later evilness and zealotry. DIO also seems to have built that friendship to further his ambitions, which calls into question how sincere it was. It is implied that he wanted to use his Stand to create a perfect world for himself and a handful of subordinates. He enlisted [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]] as his living "conscience", in case he would go crazy and veer "off track".<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Over Heaven|Over Heaven]]===<br />
<sup>(The information below derives from a Light Novel not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered {{W|Canon (fiction)|canon}}.)</sup><br />
<br />
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Over Heaven offers an interpretation of Dio Brando's character by mixing elements present in the original material and plot points introduced by the light novel, which serves to be the real-life interpretation of [[DIO's Diary]].<br />
<br />
In the novel, DIO has seemingly matured past his megalomania and, due to his mother's kindness and influence on him during his younger years, developed an extreme fixation on the concept of 'heaven' - an idea he revisits when he becomes embroiled in the world of Stands. After discovering the power human souls possess, as well as the possibility that these souls can be harnessed and controlled for one's benefit, DIO tries to devise a plan to use Stand power and human souls to bring about his idea of heaven.<br />
<br />
Apparently, all throughout the events of ''Stardust Crusaders'', DIO had been holding meetings with Enrico Pucci as well as devising ways on how to go to heaven. He then comes to the conclusion that in order to achieve true victory and witness heaven, DIO must guide Pucci to heaven, and not the other way around. Spliced between these events are all sorts of entries, such as memories of his past life as a human and later on a Vampire, the intricacies of the Stone Mask, his musings about the generational feud between him and the [[Joestar Family]], the life his parents had in the slums of London, him interacting with his organization, and various philosophical matters.<br />
<br />
For what it was worth, DIO appears to have ''genuinely'' cared about Enrico Pucci, and even more so about his plan to go to heaven, stating outright that he would sacrifice his organization, his vampiric abilities, his stand, ''everything'' - just to achieve his goal of creating his heaven on earth.<br />
<br />

<br />
DIO is one of the most powerful characters in the series. As a human, he was already brilliant but over time he's managed to acquire several powers, becoming a [[Vampire]] and then a [[Stand]] User.<br />
===Stand===<br />
====The World====<br />
{{Main|The World}}<br />
<br />
DIO's [[Stand]] is The World; a close-ranged Stand with comparable, if not superior strength and speed against Jotaro Kujo's [[Star Platinum]].<br />
<br />
About a year after gaining his Stand, DIO discovered it's signature ability of stopping time. At first, he could only do this for a very short amount of time, but by the end of ''Part 3'', he is able to stop time for a maximum of 9 seconds.<ref>[[JoJo 6251]] Stand Encyclopedia, p.124</ref> This duration would have continued to increase, had DIO not been defeated. When stopping time, DIO gives the impression that he is teleporting or otherwise moving at impossible speeds.<br />

<br />
====Mastery====<br />
Having had ample time to rest and train with The World, DIO is shown to have been thorough in exploring his Stand's abilities. Case in point, it was during an experimental session during which DIO sought to test the limit of The World's speed that he discovered his time stop ability.<br />
<br />
[[File:The World DIO.png|left|thumb|DIO with [[The World]]]]<br />
To give himself an advantage, DIO has tried to keep the ability of The World a secret, only using it at key moments to psych out an opponent and perform incomprehensible sneak attacks, as well as only trusting its secret to a few confidants such as [[Enya the Hag]] and not hesitating to eliminate her as soon as she remotely risked to inform the Joestars of his timestop power. However, as soon as they understood its ability, DIO dropped the secret and showed a great degree of confidence about the supremacy of his power, ultimately not caring about his secret as he was convinced that no one could do anything about it. Thus, he began to liberally stop time against Jotaro. Thanks to the free time-frame of action granted by The World, DIO has made it possible to instantly reposition himself to avoid attacks or set himself up to attack, kill enemies instantly, or even displace his opponents to toy with them.<br />
<br />
DIO has shown a high degree of control over The World, using it to battle Jotaro's Star Platinum to a standstill, but showing superior technique in hand to hand combat by using low kicks to unbalance Star Platinum or feints to out-punch Star Platinum. However, his Vampire constitution means that DIO never showed the same care at using The World defensively at he preferred to avoid being hit at all and regenerate by sucking blood.<br />
<br />
Unlike every other enemy Stand User in ''Stardust Crusaders'', DIO actively sought to improve his Stand's capabilities. He notably wanted the [[Joestar Group]] to come to him so that he could suck the blood of a Joestar and sync himself up with Jonathan's body to bolster his powers further. Araki himself has stated that DIO had the potential to stop time indefinitely. <br />
<br />
Moreover, DIO had searched a way to unlock a power even more powerful than The World, using esoteric knowledge to divine a plan to create another mightier Stand.<br />
<br />
====Joestar Stand====<br />
{{main|List of Unnamed Stands#Joestar Stand|Joestar Stand}}<br />
<br />
When DIO awakened [[The World]], Jonathan's body also awakened a [[Hermit Purple]]-like [[Stand]] power with semi-precognitive abilities.<ref>[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]] appendix note</ref> Similar to Hermit Purple, it can produce psychic photographs by striking a camera or a crystal ball, which DIO used to track the [[Joestar Family|Joestars]] and their friends' current location to send Stand Users after them. DIO was even able to tell when [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] used Hermit Purple to take a psychic photograph of him, and instinctively knew that his acquisition of a Stand also awoke Stand abilities in Jonathan's descendants.<br />

|AImage = Dio suck blood.gif<br />
|Desc = All vampires, including DIO, consume the blood of living creatures to sustain themselves. Unlike traditional vampires, they suck their victims' blood with their hands, digging the fingers directly inside the target to suck their blood. Blood consumption will strengthen a vampire and heal them if they were weakened before. In a weakened state, a vampire will instinctively crave blood and may attack any victim to regenerate.<br />

|Desc = Dio can regenerate his body faster than fire can consume it. His body is able to live even after having vital body parts amputated, and he is even capable of controlling his detached body parts. The extent of Dio's inability to be killed is demonstrated when he appears to Jonathan as just a head.<br />

|Desc = As part of its immortality, the body of a vampire forfeits natural decay, essentially preventing the host from dying of old age. Those transformed at a younger age will naturally preserve their looks, while those who are older will rejuvenate their bodies and take on the appearance of a young adult.<ref>[[JoJo6251]], p.105</ref> This characteristic allows DIO to retain his youth and survive at the bottom of the ocean for a century. Even over 100 years after his birth, DIO continues to appear as though he is in his 20s.<br />

|Desc = This ability is used twice, on [[Jack the Ripper]] (in the anime) and [[Poco]]. In the case of the former, Dio hypnotizes Jack to convince him to become his servant, allowing Dio to drain his blood and turn him into a zombie. [[Poco]] was hypnotized to lure Jonathan's group into a graveyard trap, though his consciousness returned after being subjected to Jonathan's Ripple.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 24}}</ref><br />

|Desc = Dio is able to pressurize bodily liquid in his eyeballs and then create small openings in his pupils, eventually unleashing two fluid jets. This ability, later referred to by [[Straizo]] as "Space Ripper Stingy Eyes",<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 50}}</ref> is one of Dio's most lethal abilities, powerful enough to slice through stone. Though DIO can still utilize this ability without his original body, as shown in ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Heritage for the Future]]'' and the [[Drama CD]], he actually never uses it in ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]''.<br />

|AImage = Flesh Bud.png<br />
|Desc = DIO is able to manipulate his hair to create parasites, which he can then insert into a human's head. These flesh buds pierce through the skull into part of the brain, making the victim compliant to Dio's charisma. As explained by Joseph, the parasite will gradually consume the victim's brain. If anyone attempts to remove the bud, it will sprout tentacles in an attempt to invade the intruder's brain. If necessary, DIO can give permission to someone to activate the spore's tentacles from a close distance. The spores possess another effect in case DIO himself ever dies: according to [[Keicho Nijimura]], DIO's cells mutated his [[Father Nijimura|father]] into a greenish animalistic form upon DIO's death. Presumably, this is a side effect of the flesh buds that all Stand users containing flesh buds suffer from.<br />

|Desc = Dio seems to possess the ability to heal other people's wounds, as he is able to completely cure Pucci's wounded foot by simply touching it. The origin of this power remains unknown, though it could be an extension of his transmutation capabilities or self-healing factor.<br />
|Gallery = <br />

<br />
===Personal Skills===<br />
'''Intelligence:''' Dio is naturally intelligent, displaying cunning and perceptiveness as well as imagination repeatedly.<br />
<br />
As a child and teenager, Dio Brando managed to achieve academic excellence with ease, having planned to graduate from university as a top law student.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, Dio is a cunning villain and proficient tactician in combat. Dio almost managed to get away with two murders, biding his time in order to have a perfect alibi and was only discovered by accident. Upon his return from the bottom of the ocean, DIO built in six years a powerful criminal empire spanning over several continents and which brought him many riches. In a fight, Dio is particularly cunning and perceptive, his ruthlessness making him able to exploit dishonorable and downright inhuman tactics to get ahead, such as leading his enemies into a trap, using hapless civilians as projectiles and sources of energy, or plain sneak attacks. Dio has the habit of analyzing his opponents and determine quickly a counter to their strengths, such as freezing blood in order to stop the flow of the Ripple or forcing Jotaro's bluff by throwing multiple knives from all direction so that he's forced to act during the stopped time.<br />
<br />
Naturally ambitious, Dio constantly seeks to improve himself and meticulously studies his abilities to make the most of them. As such, he developed a freezing power akin to the [[Pillar Men]]'s Modes in just a month, and in six years, discovered enough about Stands to be able to fuse several together with souls in order to create the [[Made in Heaven|ultimate Stand]]. Arguably his most successful move Dio experimented on how his vampiric powers allowed him to fuse two organisms together and used that knowledge to steal Jonathan's body.<br />
<br />
Though he doesn't show it often, Dio has become a natural philosopher, arguing about the human condition with multiple people.<br />
<br />
'''Resilience:''' All prior to becoming a Vampire, Dio was already an able bare-handed fighter; a skill he says he developed in the slums of London. A good amateur sportsman, during a rugby game as a young adult, he is shown to have developed high athletic ability (as well as fantastic muscle mass).<br />
<br />
'''Charisma:''' Dio is a cunning and charming individual. In addition to Stand Users, whom Avdol and Joseph suggest he recruits through charm or charisma, he has seduced many women throughout his life.<br />
<br />
'''Knowledge: '''Throughout both his humble youth and tempestuous maturity, Dio is often seen reading. During his pre-teens, he is seen playing chess with adults. In ''[[Stone Ocean]]'', in conversation with [[Enrico Pucci]], he is shown to have accumulated some wisdom within the world of Stands. Importantly, Dio is able to concoct a plan, contained in [[DIO's Diary|his diary]], incorporating vast, unknown information as to the deliberate creation of Stands of perfectly specific abilities.<br />
<br />
'''Spiritual Connection: '''After stealing Jonathan's body, DIO began to share a spiritual connection with Jonathan's living descendants. He notably was instinctively aware of their presence and their well-being, allowing him to track them across Cairo. Joseph mentions that DIO probably cannot distinguish between him and Jotaro, and only feel their presence.<br />
<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
<br />
*'''Vampiric Body: '''Dio Brando's powers, however, are all at the expense of having a body sustained by sheer willpower alone, rather than vital energy. A sufficiently powerful force of vitality - specifically sunlight or the Ripple - will negate the sustaining force's presence and disintegrate his long-unliving body.<br />
<br />
*'''Jonathan's Body (former):''' When DIO first acquired Jonathan Joestar's body and resurfaced from the ocean, he was unable to use the full power of his Stand, and had to acquire blood from a live Joestar to compensate and fully synchronize with his new form. Once this weakness was negated, he managed to grow significantly stronger, as did his Stand.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
*[[Dario Brando]]: Dio hated his father and saw Dario only as a stepping stone in his path to ascend in society. Dio's hatred stems from the abuse Dario dealt Dio's mother with his alcoholism, as well as Dio himself, to the point where he secretly poisoned to death and tricked Dario into thinking he was sick. He emphasizes this by spitting on his father's grave before leaving for the Joestar mansion.<br />
*[[Dio Brando's Mother]]: Though she isn't seen interacting with him, it's very clear that Dio loved his mother deeply, and the abuse she was dealt by his father was one of the reasons Dio slowly and painfully killed Dario.<br />
*[[Giorno Giovanna]]: DIO is not shown to have interacted with his son, Giorno, although Giorno keeps a photo of him in his wallet. It is unknown where Giorno got it from or if he knows of the kind of person his father was. Also of note is that DIO would drain Giorno's mother of her blood, had he not been killed himself by Jotaro.<ref name="allgame">{{w|V Jump}} Games Series - ''All of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: ''Vento Aureo'''' Interview'''</ref><br />
*[[Ungalo]], [[Donatello Versus]], and [[Rikiel]]: Similar to Giorno's case, the mothers of all three men were left alive. However, none of them inherited Jonathan's spirit. All three only learned of their true father's identity after their fated encounter with Pucci.<br />
<br />
===Allies===<br />
<br />
*[[Enrico Pucci]]: DIO's encounter with Pucci is presumably the most prominent example of humanity displayed by him, having healed Pucci's foot when they first meet. Through the time he spends with Pucci, DIO comes to trust him enough to allow Pucci to inherit control of his plan. At one point, DIO forced Pucci's hand into his head and nearly had his Stand DISC removed to test Pucci's loyalty to him.<br />
*[[Vanilla Ice]]: While the former is fanatically loyal to his cause, even willing to chop off his head to prove his worth, DIO annoyingly notes that Vanilla Ice often forgets about the doors after he uses his Stand, [[Cream]], to travel via making a hole in the wall. Still DIO highly respected Ice's abilities, refusing to use the blood of someone of his caliber to heal himself.<br />
*[[Wang Chan]]: While at first a provider of his secret oriental poison that was crucial in killing Dario and attempting to kill George, after becoming a vampire, Dio used him as a scout and aide once his head is chopped off. Despite his dependence on Wang Chan, Dio doesn't take his insults to Jonathan lightly and threatens him for it.<br />
*[[Pet Shop]]: While not much is known about their relationship, DIO personally selected Pet Shop as the guardian of his temple while he was in Egypt.<br />
*[[Enya the Hag]]: Enya was one of DIO's most loyal followers and supporters. Despite her loyalty, DIO secretly implanted her with a flesh bud to insure her secrecy.<br />
*[[N'Doul]]: DIO was the first person to see N'Doul's worth which caused N'Doul to admire DIO. N'Doul was so loyal to DIO, that he killed himself in order to prevent himself from leaking valuable information.<br />
*[[Johngalli A.]]: While there is no on-screen interaction between them, Johngalli was highly loyal to DIO, as shown when he framed Jolyne for murder and attempted to kill her and Jotaro to avenge him.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Jonathan Joestar]]: One of the most impactful relationships Dio ever had was with his adoptive brother, Jonathan Joestar. He initially viewed his adoptive brother as a stepping stone and pest to be driven to despair and abused in order to gain the Joestar family fortune. After being beaten once, he viewed him as more of a threat, feigning brotherly bonds in public, while secretly poisoning George Joestar in order to get his fortune quicker. He intended to kill Jonathan with the [[Stone Mask]], but upon discovering the hidden power to unlock the vampire powers of man, he decided to use it on himself in order to become one. After another failed attempt to kill his adopted brother, due to his ego, Dio decides to have others face him rather than turn Jonathan into a zombie himself. After being bested by Jonathan, he quickly changes his mind, only to be thwarted once again. In their final confrontation, Dio admits he respects Jonathan in a twisted sense (to the point of scolding Wang Chan for taunting him) and is genuinely shocked when Jonathan dies. Dio would use Jonathan's body as a host, defining the destiny between him and the [[Joestar Family]] for centuries to come.<br />
*[[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]]: Due to Dio having used the Stone Mask and becoming a Vampire, Zeppeli immediately viewed Dio as an enemy once he learned about the incident at the Joestar Mansion and due to his own father using the same mask to become a Vampire himself. Dio himself is dismissive of Zeppeli's hatred towards his vampiric ways and connection to the Stone Mask, only viewing Zeppeli's mastery of the unfamiliar Ripple as nothing more than magic tricks.<br />
*[[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]]: After hearing from Jonathan what Dio was doing to [[George Joestar I]], Speedwagon decided to help with finding the man that sold Dio the poison. Dio openly declares that after killing Jonathan, he would dispose of Speedwagon as well for being involved. After everything that had happened at the Joestar Mansion, Speedwagon went along with Jonathan and Zeppeli to defeat Dio, knowing that he was too dangerous now as a vampire to be left running around.<br />
*[[George Joestar I|George Joestar]]: While George has always treated Dio with kindness and respect, Dio only saw George as a stepping stone in his quest for wealth. Thus, Dio feigned being the perfect ward to George, and even called him father despite having no such views.<br />
*[[Dire]], [[Straizo]], and [[Tonpetty]]: Being Ripple Warriors, the three knew the dangers of the Stone Mask and viewed Dio as an enemy because of his use of it. Out of the three of them, Dire was the one who really wanted to defeat Dio on his own, due to having been a friend of Zeppeli's for many years and Dio having a role in his death. At the time, Straizo knew that defeating Dio was important; however, many years later, he would admit to the older Speedwagon that he was envious of Dio due to the fact he would never age while Straizo would. This envy became so much that he would later use the Stone Mask on himself just so he could become young again.<br />
*[[Joseph Joestar]]: DIO needed Joseph in order to complete the merger of his head with Jonathan's body, secretly manipulating his minions to bring him closer and closer in order to drain his blood. At first, Joseph was unaware of his existence due to Speedwagon making sure to keep the secret of the Vampire's existence prior to his battle with Straizo. His hatred for DIO intensified, however, when he learnt the whole truth and that he had stolen the body of his grandfather, Jonathan Joestar, to use as his own. This hatred got to the breaking point when DIO's very existence threatened the life of Joseph's daughter [[Holy Kujo|Holy]]. Figuring out that since DIO was the cause of all the Stands in the Joestar family activating, it was more than likely that killing him would save Holy. That plan in mind, Joseph, along with his grandson Jotaro, his old friend [[Muhammad Avdol]], and new ally Noriaki Kakyoin, decide to go to Egypt where DIO had gone to hide, and kill him.<br />
*[[Noriaki Kakyoin]]: Having met DIO on a holiday in Egypt with his family and then put under his control with a Flesh Bud, Kakyoin was loyal to him and would do anything he wanted. However, upon having the bud removed by Jotaro and seeing the harm DIO was causing towards the innocent Holy Kujo, who had shown him kindness as he was recovering at the Kujo residence, Kakyoin decided to go with Joseph, Jotaro, and Avdol to Egypt to defeat DIO.<br />
*[[Jean Pierre Polnareff]]: Like Kakyoin, he too met DIO and was placed under his control. After having the Flesh Bud removed by Jotaro, Polnareff decided to join the team, though at first for his own goals, as Polnareff theorized that DIO would know where his [[Sherry Polnareff|sister's]] [[J. Geil|killer]] would be. Even after he avenged her sister's death, Polnareff chose to stay with the group to defeat DIO. After the deaths of both Avdol and Iggy, Polnareff vowed to defeat DIO no matter what.<br />
*[[Muhammad Avdol]]: Unlike Kakyoin and Polnareff, Avdol recognized who DIO was upon meeting him, due to having heard about DIO from Joseph. As such, Avdol knew the man was an enemy immediately and managed to escape from him before he could be put under his control. With DIO threatening Holy's life due to him activating all the Stands in the Joestar bloodline, Avdol, along with Jotaro, Joseph, and Kakyoin decided to journey to Egypt to defeat Dio.<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Despite DIO viewing Jotaro as nothing but an extension of Jonathan, DIO was fully aware how much of a threat Jotaro was. While Jonathan was an opponent DIO respected, Jotaro was an opponent DIO ''feared'' (although just a bit) since Jotaro could move in the stopped time. Jotaro himself however, saw DIO as nothing but a necessary evil he has to defeat in order to save his mother. After DIO had apparently killed his grandfather Joseph right in front of him, Jotaro's hatred for DIO finally intensified to where, for the first time, Jotaro was visibly enraged and acted on anger. After a long and grueling fight with the vampire, Jotaro finally managed to outwit and kill DIO.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Relationships in Over Heaven===<br />
<sup>(The information below derives from a Light Novel not written by Araki. As such, it may not be considered canon.)</sup><br />
<br />
*[[Daniel J. D'Arby|Daniel J.]] and [[Telence T. D'Arby]]: DIO saw the D'Arby brothers as important tools to enter into heaven. While he believed their souls were too impure to enter themselves, he acknowledged their ability to manipulate souls as useful for his own ascension.<br />
*[[Enya the Hag]]: While the novel doesn't add too much to their relationship, DIO states that he would've considered letting her bear his child if she was younger.<br />
*[[Dario Brando]]: While their relationship is about as negative as it is in the manga, it is revealed that he hated his father for allowing him to enter the Joestar Mansion because he thought that one act of kindness allowed Dario to get into heaven, and one of the reasons he wanted to get into heaven was to kill his father again, before merely looking at it as a side opportunity.<br />
*Dio's Mother: In the novel it is revealed that his mother taught him everything he knew about the world. While DIO is unsure if heaven really exists, he believes that her death saved her from her living hell of a life. It is revealed that the words in his diary are from a nursery song she sung him.<br />
*Unborn Sibling: It is revealed that Dio's mother was pregnant with an unborn sibling but ended up miscarrying them.<br />
*[[Erina Pendleton]]: DIO respects Erina's strength and in some ways saw her as a bigger threat than Jonathan. DIO theorizes that Erina Joestar placed both him, herself, and the infant Lisa-Lisa in the casket on the boat where Jonathan died in order to escape the boat's explosion. DIO at first believes that Erina did this in hope DIO may return some day as a better man with Jonathan's body. He quickly dismisses the idea, stating that if it was the case that Erina reminded him of his mother.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:GIBT.png|thumb|B.T., the protagonist in ''[[Cool Shock B.T.]]'', is a basis for young Dio.<ref name="JoJomenom">"Manga Art of Hirohiko Araki" p.99-102</ref>]]<br />
<br />
*Dio's name in ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' is written normally, but is later spelled in English as {{Nihongo|DIO|{{Ruby|D|デ}}{{Ruby|I|ィ}}{{Ruby|O|オ}}}} in ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', ''[[Stone Ocean]]'', and one chapter of Phantom Blood.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 17}}</ref> This was probably done to accentuate his metamorphosis as a villain, as well as his more intimidating, fear-mongering, and overall villainous personality.<ref name="DioRMX"><sub>The Miasma of the Void, Vanilla Ice - Vol.9 "Shueisha Jump Remix ''Stardust Crusaders'' Edition" [[:File:SecretJoJoSJRVanillaIce.png|P170 The Secret of JOJO Characters]]</sub></ref><br />
*In [[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]]'s top Ten Favourite Characters in 2000, DIO ranked as 10th, being the third main villain in the countdown.<br />
*In [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven]], Dio Brando and [[Diego Brando]]'s themes are remixes of each other. This is also the case for DIO and [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando from a Parallel World]].<br />
*Araki considers Dio to be 'the true protagonist' of ''Phantom Blood''. Not only did Araki develop Dio's character design before Jonathan, Dio also makes his debut first. Araki pondered in deciding what would be the scariest factor Dio would have, and decided that "evil from the past" coming to get the present descendant would be the most frightening thing. Dio was developed with this concept in mind. After this, Jonathan Joestar's 'light' was designed to counter Dio's 'darkness'.<ref>''JOJOmenon''</ref><br />
*In a spring 2018 interview with [[Shueisha]]'s Kotoba magazine, Araki describes how {{W|Blade Runner}} had influenced his work back when it premiered. He mentions Dio's blond hair and muscular build in particular as being influenced by the Blade Runner character, Roy Batty.<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-02-27/hirohiko-araki-reveals-which-blade-runner-character-inspired-dio/.128280 Hirohiko Araki Reveals Which Blade Runner Character Inspired DIO]</ref><br />
*In a 2007 [[Interview Archive#Eureka (11/2007)|Eureka interview]], Araki states that Dio is the type who would be comfortable being with a man or woman, however, he will do anything to get what he wants and would "absolutely never pour 100% of his love into a specific person."<ref name="eureka" /><br />

{{Spoiler|1-6}}{{quote|{{Nihongo2|Useless, useless!!!|無駄 無駄!!!|Muda muda!!!}}|Dio Brando's battle cry|{{Ch|Chapter 256}}|v=V_prepare_3dio01_20.wav}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Dio Brando'''|ディオ・ブランドー|Dio Burandō}}, later known simply as {{Nihongo|'''DIO'''|{{Ruby|DIO|ディオ}}}}, is the [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of the first and third parts of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' and ''[[Stardust Crusaders]],'' as well as a posthumous [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] in the sixth part, ''[[Stone Ocean]]''. His influence is felt throughout all of the first six parts of the series, with major characters such as [[Giorno Giovanna]] and [[Enrico Pucci]] being directly connected to him.<br />
<br />
Originally a man of low birth but peerless ambition, Dio is a villain of little conscience, vast cunning, and an insatiable hunger for power. After becoming a [[vampire]] and later a [[Stand]] user, Dio has gathered around him many [[Agents of DIO|minions]] and is responsible for many major events of the series, from the death of [[Jonathan Joestar]] to the [[Joestar Family]]'s sudden acquisition of Stand power, and his legacy persists throughout the series.<br />
<br />
Dio is the first [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of [[Phantom Blood]] and [[Stardust Crusaders]]. He is also the father of Giorno, the protagonist of ''[[Vento Aureo]]'', as well as a handful of [[Ungalo|other]] [[Rikiel|illegitimate]] [[Donatello Versus|offspring]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
===Phantom Blood===<br />
====Childhood====<br />
[[File:Dio Young Render.png|frameless|left|90px]]<br />
When he first arrives at the Joestar Estate, Dio is seen wearing typical formal boys attire from that era; a blue coat, white dress shirt, a tie, suspenders, breeches, and a pair of striped socks. He has blond hair and 3 moles on the lobule of his left ear.<br />
<br />
*When boxing, he wears a shirt with folded sleeves, overalls, and boxing gloves.<br />
<br />
====Adulthood====<br />
[[File:Dio acrylic.png|frameless|150px|alt=|left]]<br />
Aside from replacing his coat with a vest, Dio's attire hasn't changed much. However, his overall physique and height have increased significantly. During the events where Jonathan sets out to find the antidote for his father's illness, Dio dons a top hat and a new, flamboyant-looking cloak that has feathers jutting out of the shoulders.<br />
<br />
====Vampire====<br />
Dio undergoes drastic physical changes upon using the Stone Mask to transform himself into a vampire. His formerly-clean hair becomes messy and unkempt, his eyes become sharper and adopt a darker outline, and he develops fangs. <br />
<br />
His clothing has changed quite a bit as well after his first battle with Jonathan; most noticeable is the scarf around his neck. He wears an ornate dual-colored shirt and matching breeches, a large pair of boots, vambraces, and two suspenders attached to a band around his waist.<br />
<br />
====Color Schemes====<br />

===Stardust Crusaders===<br />
====Evil Incarnate / Shadow====<br />
[[File:Bg dio r.png|frameless|left|120px]]<br />
DIO does not have a visible face as an effect of the shadowy darkness of his mansion. He has shoulder-length blond hair and is topless, exposing Jonathan's muscular body (on which his head is sewn in place) He wears pants with suspenders, clogs, shiny cuffs on both wrists, and heart-shaped knee guards. In the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' arcade game, his voice is also extra distorted compared to the standard filter used for his other playable version (an effect created by the developers to add a sense of mystery). This form of DIO is commonly referred to as {{Nihongo|'''Evil Incarnate DIO'''|邪悪の化身ディオ|Ja'aku no Keshin DIO}} or '''Shadow DIO''' in certain English localizations.<br />
<br />
====Revealed====<br />
[[File:DIO Anime Render.png|frameless|right|185px]]<br />
Incorporating his previous outfit, DIO dons a jacket with a tight tank-top underneath, as well as chaps with an exposed crotch. His face is now in full-view, and on his head is a heart-adorned circlet to match his knee guards. This is his form during the beginning of the ''[[DIO's World]]'' story arc. In most depictions of him, DIO's outfit is tinted orange or yellow.<br />
<br />
He also wears a necklace covering his neck scar and heart motifs above his feet and on his pant legs, but he quickly stopped sporting them after his first stairway confrontation with [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]].<br />
<br />
When pursuing the Joestar group, DIO donned a cloak that he ended up discarding during his confrontation with [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]].<br />
<br />
====Empowered====<br />
DIO nears his physical peak after draining [[Joseph Joestar]]'s blood. His appearance now is similar to his revealed form, minus the jacket and the heart-shaped headband that was destroyed by [[Star Platinum]]'s attacks. He now sports a deranged and homicidal look and mannerisms, having lost his suave touch. His hair is now disheveled and mostly oriented upwards, while his lips are darker and seem adorned with lipstick. This is his main form during the latter half of the ''[[DIO's World]]'' story arc, often called his 'High' or 'Awakened' form.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
Dio is consistently manipulative and violently domineering, and has repeatedly shown a lack of conscience and empathy.<br />
[[File:Dio_8s_happy.png|thumb|240x240px|DIO is ecstatic when he sees his power growing further]]<br />
Dio's most recognizable characteristics are his boundless ambition and his love of power. Abused by his father and having lived in the most miserable living conditions,<ref name="Ch|Chapter 7">{{Ch|Chapter 7}}</ref> Dio set for himself the goal of becoming the richest, then the most powerful being on Earth. To do so, Dio used anything or anyone that he could in order to further his goals, disregarding any kind of morality that would restrain the range of actions available to him. Using either manipulation, seduction, or plain violence, Dio constantly sought to become more and more powerful. Dio enjoys being in a position of power<ref name=":1">{{Ch|Chapter 2}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Ch|Chapter 4}}</ref> and has repeatedly stated how great he felt being in a dominating position. On the contrary, Dio never tolerated that someone could stand up to him or equal him in power, and was enraged and deeply disturbed at the thought several times.<br />
<br />
Throughout his life, Dio has tended to surround himself with witless cronies and later minions, who were attracted by his natural charisma. Not thinking much of them at first, he then selected those he deemed as particularly evil, claiming that an evil person wasn't bound by rules such as honor and thus were stronger mentally. This belief culminated in including the absorption of 36 souls of sinners, or, as he claims, particularly strong souls, to unlock a power greater than that of his Stand, The World.<br />
[[File:Dio_plotting.png|left|thumb|Dio planning to mentally break Jonathan and usurp his place upon meeting him]]<br />
Naturally, Dio is an incredibly-selfish person, only looking over his own interest and overlooking those of others at best, trampling them on the ground at worst. Due to his composed nature, Dio can and will manipulate and take what he can from all sorts of people, using any method, as long as the person suits his present desires. Since he is selfishly interested in their capabilities, however, Dio is the type who is incapable of loving another person wholeheartedly.<ref name="eureka">[[Interview Archive|2007 Eureka November issue - Interview with Hirohiko Araki]]</ref> The only people he can be said to have held some type of affection for were his mother, Jonathan Joestar, and Enrico Pucci; Dio recognizing Jonathan's worth as equal to his own, and having been friends with Pucci. Still, Dio stole the former's body and his friendship with the latter was proven nonetheless beneficial of a grander plan to further himself.<br />
[[File:Dio charms Kakyoin.jpg|thumb|DIO "charming" Kakyoin to his side]]<br />
When interacting with someone, Dio will constantly try to manipulate them and sway them into his side, using a veneer of gentleness and his natural charm to make people admire and like him. For instance, he acted the model son and popular charismatic friend to Jonathan's father and entourage to better isolate him, and as a Vampire, his charisma only increased as he appeared as a charming mysterious individual. However, his natural arrogance would lead him to openly insult and belittle his enemies, notably disparaging their insignificant strength before his vampiric or Stand powers.<br />
<br />
Dio approaches obstacles and problems in a number of ways depending on the situation and his mood. When he was human, Dio was careful and methodical in trying to break Jonathan's spirit and slowly poisoned George for a sizeable period of time, only being thwarted due to unlucky twists of fate. As a Vampire, DIO at first let his arrogance get the better of him and took a laissez-faire approach, only sending subordinates to kill the Joestar Group while he rested and recovered. However, his defeat by Jonathan taught him to be wary of the Joestar Family in its entirety, thus he would later ambush Jonathan and, during the events of ''Stardust Crusaders'', send his minions to delay the Joestars as much as possible to recover strength. During his final battle, his wariness, tactical acumen and arrogance would clash to make Dio alternate between meticulous approach and overconfident attacks.<br />
<br />
===Part 1 - ''Phantom Blood''===<br />
{{quote|{{Nihongo2|I reject my humanity! JoJo! I will transcend humanity!|おれは人間をやめるぞ!ジョジョーッ!!おれは人間を超越するッ!|Ore wa ningen o yameru zoǃ JoJoǃ Ore wa ningen o chōetsu suru!}}|Dio before donning the [[Stone Mask]]|{{Ch|Chapter 11}}}}<br />
In ''Phantom Blood'', Dio is ambitious, selfish, arrogant, callous and megalomaniacal, seemingly able to do anything to achieve his aims.<br />
[[File:Dio abandons humanity.png|thumb|Dio drops all pretense of good]]<br />
His natural ruthlessness is exposed very early when plans to exploit the Joestar family despite them being kind enough to adopt him.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|Chapter 1}}</ref> In order to place himself in a better position to replace Jonathan Joestar and obtain the Joestar family fortune, Dio used the most underhanded means to break him mentally. These methods included: humiliating Jonathan in public sport fighting, ostracizing him from his friends,<ref name=":1" /> and finally stealing [[Erina Pendleton]]'s first kiss to drive a wedge in their budding relationship.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 3}}</ref> When he is eventually foiled, Dio opted to slowly poison [[George Joestar I]] and kill Jonathan with the Stone Mask to make both deaths seem natural and accidental.<ref name="Ch|Chapter 7" /> Dio has shown a remarkable determination to reach his goal, never losing his drive despite the numerous defeats he suffers throughout ''Phantom Blood'' and always tried to find a way to get back at Jonathan for them.<br />
<br />
Dio's lack of empathy is also apparent, since despite having lived for years with the kind Joestars, he never thought of them as anything more than obstacles, and is hinted to utterly resent the upper class he frequents. Dio had been maintaining a facade of a charming and agreeable person to everyone save Jonathan, yet never came close to anyone. At the end of the part, the only person Dio appreciated was Jonathan Joestar himself, begrudgingly acknowledging his valor as his archenemy<ref name="Ch|Chapter 42">{{Ch|Chapter 42}}</ref> and "granting" him a painless death, and was even shocked to see him die.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 44}}</ref> Overjoyed to have changed into a powerful vampire, Dio spent his battles taunting various humans about their weaknesses and belittling them in favor of the apex predator vampires. Dio also sadistically changed a mother into a zombie just to watch her devour her own baby. When in a position of strength, he also tends to torment them further, such as sneakily sticking his thumb into Jonathan's eye during a punch.<ref name=":1" /><br />
[[File:Dio slapping Erina.png|left|thumb|230x230px|Dio slapping Erina in a fit of anger]]<br />
Dio shows a lack of restraint in his violence, and is prone to murderous outbursts even as far as his childhood, notably trying to stab Jonathan when he beat him up, and violently slapping Erina.<ref name=":2" /> He was also incredibly cruel to Jonathan's dog, [[Danny]], going so far as kicking him on their first meeting.<ref name=":0" /> When Dio was defeated by Jonathan, Dio secretly had Danny incinerated. He is shown to be utterly enraged when someone stands up to him, which is the cause for his outbursts. He himself acknowledged that his anger was a weakness,<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 5}}</ref> but would be all his life unable to truly control himself.<br />
<br />
Dio's personality could be explained by his poor childhood and the abusive relationship he shared with his father, [[Dario Brando]]. Speedwagon, however, rejected this as the cause of Dio's personality, claiming that Dio was simply born this way, and that his poverty had nothing to do with it. True to that, Dio was already an immoral person but then openly relinquishes his {{W|Humanity (virtue)|humanity}} in favor of becoming a [[Vampire]] upon being cornered by the police.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 11}}</ref> He trades his underhanded scheming persona for a more arrogant and hedonistic personality that is dismissive of humanity and revels in evil. Nonetheless, Dio respects determination and said much to Jonathan that his determination was equal to his own, earning him the dubious honor of serving as Dio's new host, after Dio was reduced by Jonathan to a head.<ref name="Ch|Chapter 42" /><br />
<br />
Dio's potential for empathy is implied in both the manga and the anime, when Dio is shown to have killed his own father out of revenge for the abuse against his mother, rather than as a step in his scheme to rise in society.<br />
<br />
Dio has expressed hatred for dogs, considering them vermin.<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
===Part 3 - ''Stardust Crusaders''===<br />
{{Quote|{{Nihongo2|Everyone survives in pursuit of peace of mind... Aren't you uneasy, preparing to fight me, knowing you may die? If you join me, I will give you peace of mind that will last forever.|安心を求める事そ人間の目的だ。そこでだ……わたしに仕えることに何の不安感があるのだ?わたしに仕えるだけで他の全ての安心が簡単に手に入るぞ|Anshin o motomeru koto so ningen no mokutekida. Sokodeda…… watashi ni tsukaeru koto ni nani no fuan-kan ga aru noda? Watashi ni tsukaeru dake de ta no subete no anshin ga kantan ni te ni hairu zo.}}|DIO to Polnareff|{{Ch|Chapter 248}}}}<br />
Reappearing in ''Stardust Crusaders'', DIO did not change much since his burial at the bottom of the ocean for one hundred years, as he remained a remorseless and murderous megalomaniac, but nonetheless he had matured a little by recognizing valor in others and being generally more calm and level-headed.<br />
[[File:Dio_peace_of_mind.png|left|thumb|DIO discussing the true nature of happiness with Polnareff]]<br />
DIO does not appear frequently in ''Stardust Crusaders'' except towards the end, but is seen discussing various philosophies with Stand users he wishes to recruit, and with his already-loyal followers, particularly [[Enya the Hag]] who serves as his main adviser. It seems equally likely that DIO does this to manipulate and persuade as that he believes what he says, but nonetheless acknowledges the power and valor simple humans can have, notably respecting one's willingness to die for his goal. Wishing to quickly dispose of the Joestars, he listened to Enya and was told that she'd already sent agents to deal with them, and quietly rested in his mansion to gain more strength. Furthermore, DIO learned his lesson and stops underestimating his opponents, being particularly careful around the Joestar bloodline. He nonetheless sneered at other Stand Users' efforts to fight him, most notably Kakyoin's, whose discovery ended up being crucial in his defeat.<br />
<br />
This time, DIO is far more calm and collected. Maybe due to knowing that his Stand The World is far above anyone's reach, DIO is more tolerant of people resisting him, and didn't react to Polnareff's taunts and insults. He even seems to appreciate Hol Horse's insubordination, which confirms the mercenary's strength, and let him go try to assassinate Jotaro. However, DIO is still callous about human life and killed anyone who would fail him, even Enya—who was, again, his closest adviser. The usually confident and cunning gambler Daniel D'Arby was driven to madness when he couldn't handle the pressure of possibly revealing DIO's Stand ability to Jotaro.<br />
[[File:Greatest_high.png|thumb|DIO's insanity in full view]]<br />
True to himself, DIO is enjoying the fact that he is wielding the most powerful Stand in his organization, being unconcerned by the heroes' effort to discover his power as he thinks they are meaningless. When Jotaro reveals himself to be able to move within the stopped time, DIO is initially very distraught but recomposes himself quickly, devising other plans to get rid of Jotaro by exploiting his advantage. The full scale of his insanity is visible when, overjoyed to have completely fused with Jonathan's body and being at full power, DIO declares that he was experiencing "the greatest high" and delightfully drills his index finger into his skull. <br />
<br />
DIO’s final speech exposes that he is still willing to use any way to win and despises any concept of honor or revenge, ultimately using a cheap trick to blind Jotaro momentarily. However, this was all for naught since DIO would ultimately meet retribution by dying at Jotaro's hand.<br />
<br />
===Part 6 - ''Stone Ocean''===<br />
{{Quote|{{Nihongo2|What you can find beyond the powers of my Stand is the way forward for humanity. What you need is a trustworthy friend.

[[File:Dio&enrico.png|thumb|230x230px|DIO with Enrico Pucci]]<br />
In flashbacks placed before the events of ''Part 3'', DIO demonstrates a burgeoning ability to be genuinely nice to another person in numerous conversations with [[Enrico Pucci]]. Intrigued by Pucci, who let him be despite suspiciously hiding in a church, DIO healed his crooked foot, a kind gesture, and gave him the head of an [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], which would grant him his own Stand, [[Whitesnake]]. During these flashbacks, DIO is able to open up with him on multiple subjects, and confiding to Pucci that the priest could make him be at peace. Once daring Pucci to steal his Stand, to Pucci's refusal, DIO thanked him for his fidelity, and even admitted that he feared the thought of Pucci betraying him.<br />
<br />
It is debatable how good a friend DIO truly was, considering Pucci's good-willed nature during his youth directly opposing his later evilness and zealotry. DIO also seems to have built that friendship to further his ambitions, which calls into question how sincere it was. It is implied that he wanted to use his Stand to create a perfect world for himself and a handful of subordinates. He enlisted [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]] as his living "conscience", in case he would go crazy and veer "off track".<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Over Heaven|Over Heaven]]===<br />
<sup>(The information below derives from a Light Novel not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered {{W|Canon (fiction)|canon}}.)</sup><br />
<br />
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Over Heaven offers an interpretation of Dio Brando's character by mixing elements present in the original material and plot points introduced by the light novel, which serves to be the real-life interpretation of [[DIO's Diary]].<br />
<br />
In the novel, DIO has seemingly matured past his megalomania and, due to his mother's kindness and influence on him during his younger years, developed an extreme fixation on the concept of 'heaven' - an idea he revisits when he becomes embroiled in the world of Stands. After discovering the power human souls possess, as well as the possibility that these souls can be harnessed and controlled for one's benefit, DIO tries to devise a plan to use Stand power and human souls to bring about his idea of heaven.<br />
<br />
Apparently, all throughout the events of ''Stardust Crusaders'', DIO had been holding meetings with Enrico Pucci as well as devising ways on how to go to heaven. He then comes to the conclusion that in order to achieve true victory and witness heaven, DIO must guide Pucci to heaven, and not the other way around. Spliced between these events are all sorts of entries, such as memories of his past life as a human and later on a Vampire, the intricacies of the Stone Mask, his musings about the generational feud between him and the [[Joestar Family]], the life his parents had in the slums of London, him interacting with his organization, and various philosophical matters.<br />
<br />
For what it was worth, DIO appears to have ''genuinely'' cared about Enrico Pucci, and even more so about his plan to go to heaven, stating outright that he would sacrifice his organization, his vampiric abilities, his stand, ''everything'' - just to achieve his goal of creating his heaven on earth.<br />
<br />

<br />
DIO is one of the most powerful characters in the series. As a human, he was already brilliant but over time he's managed to acquire several powers, becoming a [[Vampire]] and then a [[Stand]] User.<br />
===Stand===<br />
====The World====<br />
{{Main|The World}}<br />
<br />
DIO's [[Stand]] is The World; a close-ranged Stand with comparable, if not superior strength and speed against Jotaro Kujo's [[Star Platinum]].<br />
<br />
About a year after gaining his Stand, DIO discovered it's signature ability of stopping time. At first, he could only do this for a very short amount of time, but by the end of ''Part 3'', he is able to stop time for a maximum of 9 seconds.<ref>[[JoJo 6251]] Stand Encyclopedia, p.124</ref> This duration would have continued to increase, had DIO not been defeated. When stopping time, DIO gives the impression that he is teleporting or otherwise moving at impossible speeds.<br />

The ability is best known for DIO's activation and cancellation phrases, {{nihongo|'''The World! Time, stop!'''|{{Ruby|世界|ザ・ワールド}}! 時よ止まれ!|Za Warudo! Toki yo tomare!}} and {{nihongo|'''Time resumes.'''|時は動き出す|Toki wa ugokidasu.}}<br />
<br />
====Mastery====<br />
Having had ample time to rest and train with The World, DIO is shown to have been thorough in exploring his Stand's abilities. Case in point, it was during an experimental session during which DIO sought to test the limit of The World's speed that he discovered his time stop ability.<br />
<br />
[[File:The World DIO.png|left|thumb|DIO with [[The World]]]]<br />
To give himself an advantage, DIO has tried to keep the ability of The World a secret, only using it at key moments to psych out an opponent and perform incomprehensible sneak attacks, as well as only trusting its secret to a few confidants such as [[Enya the Hag]] and not hesitating to eliminate her as soon as she remotely risked to inform the Joestars of his timestop power. However, as soon as they understood its ability, DIO dropped the secret and showed a great degree of confidence about the supremacy of his power, ultimately not caring about his secret as he was convinced that no one could do anything about it. Thus, he began to liberally stop time against Jotaro. Thanks to the free time-frame of action granted by The World, DIO has made it possible to instantly reposition himself to avoid attacks or set himself up to attack, kill enemies instantly, or even displace his opponents to toy with them.<br />
<br />
DIO has shown a high degree of control over The World, using it to battle Jotaro's Star Platinum to a standstill, but showing superior technique in hand to hand combat by using low kicks to unbalance Star Platinum or feints to out-punch Star Platinum. However, his Vampire constitution means that DIO never showed the same care at using The World defensively at he preferred to avoid being hit at all and regenerate by sucking blood.<br />
<br />
Unlike every other enemy Stand User in ''Stardust Crusaders'', DIO actively sought to improve his Stand's capabilities. He notably wanted the [[Joestar Group]] to come to him so that he could suck the blood of a Joestar and sync himself up with Jonathan's body to bolster his powers further. Araki himself has stated that DIO had the potential to stop time indefinitely. <br />
<br />
Moreover, DIO had searched a way to unlock a power even more powerful than The World, using esoteric knowledge to divine a plan to create another mightier Stand.<br />
<br />
====Joestar Stand====<br />
{{main|List of Unnamed Stands#Joestar Stand|Joestar Stand}}<br />
<br />
When DIO awakened [[The World]], Jonathan's body also awakened a [[Hermit Purple]]-like [[Stand]] power with semi-precognitive abilities.<ref>[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]] appendix note</ref> Similar to Hermit Purple, it can produce psychic photographs by striking a camera or a crystal ball, which DIO used to track the [[Joestar Family|Joestars]] and their friends' current location to send Stand Users after them. DIO was even able to tell when [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] used Hermit Purple to take a psychic photograph of him, and instinctively knew that his acquisition of a Stand also awoke Stand abilities in Jonathan's descendants.<br />

|Desc = All vampires, including DIO, consume the blood of living creatures to sustain themselves. Unlike traditional vampires, they suck their victims' blood with their hands, digging the fingers directly inside the target to suck their blood. Blood consumption will strengthen a vampire and heal them if they were weakened before. In a weakened state, a vampire will instinctively crave blood and may attack any victim to regenerate.<br />

|Desc = Dio can regenerate his body faster than fire can consume it. His body is able to live even after having vital body parts amputated, and he is even capable of controlling his detached body parts. The extent of Dio's inability to be killed is demonstrated when he appears to Jonathan as just a head.<br />

|Desc = As part of its immortality, the body of a vampire forfeits natural decay, essentially preventing the host from dying of old age. Those transformed at a younger age will naturally preserve their looks, while those who are older will rejuvenate their bodies and take on the appearance of a young adult.<ref>[[JoJo6251]], p.105</ref> This characteristic allows DIO to retain his youth and survive at the bottom of the ocean for a century. Even over 100 years after his birth, DIO continues to appear as though he is in his 20s.<br />

This ability, later referred to by [[Straizo]] as "Space Ripper Stingy Eyes",<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 50}}</ref> is one of Dio's most lethal abilities, powerful enough to slice through stone. Though DIO can still utilize this ability without his original body, as shown in ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Heritage for the Future]]'' and the [[Drama CD]], he actually never uses it in ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]''.<br />

|AImage = Flesh Bud.png<br />
|Desc = DIO is able to manipulate his hair to create parasites, which he can then insert into a human's head. These flesh buds pierce through the skull into part of the brain, making the victim compliant to Dio's charisma. As explained by Joseph, the parasite will gradually consume the victim's brain. If anyone attempts to remove the bud, it will sprout tentacles in an attempt to invade the intruder's brain. If necessary, DIO can give permission to someone to activate the spore's tentacles from a close distance. The spores possess another effect in case DIO himself ever dies: according to [[Keicho Nijimura]], DIO's cells mutated his [[Father Nijimura|father]] into a greenish animalistic form upon DIO's death. Presumably, this is a side effect of the flesh buds that all Stand users containing flesh buds suffer from.<br />

<br />
===Personal Skills===<br />
'''Intelligence:''' Dio is naturally intelligent, displaying cunning and perceptiveness as well as imagination repeatedly.<br />
<br />
As a child and teenager, Dio Brando managed to achieve academic excellence with ease, having planned to graduate from university as a top law student.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, Dio is a cunning villain and proficient tactician in combat. Dio almost managed to get away with two murders, biding his time in order to have a perfect alibi and was only discovered by accident. Upon his return from the bottom of the ocean, DIO built in six years a powerful criminal empire spanning over several continents and which brought him many riches. In a fight, Dio is particularly cunning and perceptive, his ruthlessness making him able to exploit dishonorable and downright inhuman tactics to get ahead, such as leading his enemies into a trap, using hapless civilians as projectiles and sources of energy, or plain sneak attacks. Dio has the habit of analyzing his opponents and determine quickly a counter to their strengths, such as freezing blood in order to stop the flow of the Ripple or forcing Jotaro's bluff by throwing multiple knives from all direction so that he's forced to act during the stopped time.<br />
<br />
Naturally ambitious, Dio constantly seeks to improve himself and meticulously studies his abilities to make the most of them. As such, he developed a freezing power akin to the [[Pillar Men]]'s Modes in just a month, and in six years, discovered enough about Stands to be able to fuse several together with souls in order to create the [[Made in Heaven|ultimate Stand]]. Arguably his most successful move Dio experimented on how his vampiric powers allowed him to fuse two organisms together and used that knowledge to steal Jonathan's body.<br />
<br />
Though he doesn't show it often, Dio has become a natural philosopher, arguing about the human condition with multiple people.<br />
<br />
'''Resilience:''' All prior to becoming a Vampire, Dio was already an able bare-handed fighter; a skill he says he developed in the slums of London. A good amateur sportsman, during a rugby game as a young adult, he is shown to have developed high athletic ability (as well as fantastic muscle mass).<br />
<br />
'''Charisma:''' Dio is a cunning and charming individual. In addition to Stand Users, whom Avdol and Joseph suggest he recruits through charm or charisma, he has seduced many women throughout his life.<br />
<br />
'''Knowledge: '''Throughout both his humble youth and tempestuous maturity, Dio is often seen reading. During his pre-teens, he is seen playing chess with adults. In ''[[Stone Ocean]]'', in conversation with [[Enrico Pucci]], he is shown to have accumulated some wisdom within the world of Stands. Importantly, Dio is able to concoct a plan, contained in [[DIO's Diary|his diary]], incorporating vast, unknown information as to the deliberate creation of Stands of perfectly specific abilities.<br />
<br />
'''Spiritual Connection: '''After stealing Jonathan's body, DIO began to share a spiritual connection with Jonathan's living descendants. He notably was instinctively aware of their presence and their well-being, allowing him to track them across Cairo. Joseph mentions that DIO probably cannot distinguish between him and Jotaro, and only feel their presence.<br />
<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
<br />
*'''Vampiric Body: '''Dio Brando's powers, however, are all at the expense of having a body sustained by sheer willpower alone, rather than vital energy. A sufficiently powerful force of vitality - specifically sunlight or the Ripple - will negate the sustaining force's presence and disintegrate his long-unliving body.<br />
<br />
*'''Jonathan's Body (former):''' When DIO first acquired Jonathan Joestar's body and resurfaced from the ocean, he was unable to use the full power of his Stand, and had to acquire blood from a live Joestar to compensate and fully synchronize with his new form. Once this weakness was negated, he managed to grow significantly stronger, as did his Stand.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
*[[Dario Brando]]: Dio hated his father and saw Dario only as a stepping stone in his path to ascend in society. Dio's hatred stems from the abuse Dario dealt Dio's mother with his alcoholism, as well as Dio himself, to the point where he secretly poisoned to death and tricked Dario into thinking he was sick. He emphasizes this by spitting on his father's grave before leaving for the Joestar mansion.<br />
*[[Dio Brando's Mother]]: Though she isn't seen interacting with him, it's very clear that Dio loved his mother deeply, and the abuse she was dealt by his father was one of the reasons Dio slowly and painfully killed Dario.<br />
*[[Giorno Giovanna]]: DIO is not shown to have interacted with his son, Giorno, although Giorno keeps a photo of him in his wallet. It is unknown where Giorno got it from or if he knows of the kind of person his father was. Also of note is that DIO would drain Giorno's mother of her blood, had he not been killed himself by Jotaro.<ref name="allgame">{{w|V Jump}} Games Series - ''All of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: ''Vento Aureo'''' Interview'''</ref><br />
*[[Ungalo]], [[Donatello Versus]], and [[Rikiel]]: Similar to Giorno's case, the mothers of all three men were left alive. However, none of them inherited Jonathan's spirit. All three only learned of their true father's identity after their fated encounter with Pucci.<br />
<br />
===Allies===<br />
<br />
*[[Enrico Pucci]]: DIO's encounter with Pucci is presumably the most prominent example of humanity displayed by him, having healed Pucci's foot when they first meet. Through the time he spends with Pucci, DIO comes to trust him enough to allow Pucci to inherit control of his plan. At one point, DIO forced Pucci's hand into his head and nearly had his Stand DISC removed to test Pucci's loyalty to him.<br />
*[[Vanilla Ice]]: While the former is fanatically loyal to his cause, even willing to chop off his head to prove his worth, DIO annoyingly notes that Vanilla Ice often forgets about the doors after he uses his Stand, [[Cream]], to travel via making a hole in the wall. Still DIO highly respected Ice's abilities, refusing to use the blood of someone of his caliber to heal himself.<br />
*[[Wang Chan]]: While at first a provider of his secret oriental poison that was crucial in killing Dario and attempting to kill George, after becoming a vampire, Dio used him as a scout and aide once his head is chopped off. Despite his dependence on Wang Chan, Dio doesn't take his insults to Jonathan lightly and threatens him for it.<br />
*[[Pet Shop]]: While not much is known about their relationship, DIO personally selected Pet Shop as the guardian of his temple while he was in Egypt.<br />
*[[Enya the Hag]]: Enya was one of DIO's most loyal followers and supporters. Despite her loyalty, DIO secretly implanted her with a flesh bud to insure her secrecy.<br />
*[[N'Doul]]: DIO was the first person to see N'Doul's worth which caused N'Doul to admire DIO. N'Doul was so loyal to DIO, that he killed himself in order to prevent himself from leaking valuable information.<br />
*[[Johngalli A.]]: While there is no on-screen interaction between them, Johngalli was highly loyal to DIO, as shown when he framed Jolyne for murder and attempted to kill her and Jotaro to avenge him.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Jonathan Joestar]]: One of the most impactful relationships Dio ever had was with his adoptive brother, Jonathan Joestar. He initially viewed his adoptive brother as a stepping stone and pest to be driven to despair and abused in order to gain the Joestar family fortune. After being beaten once, he viewed him as more of a threat, feigning brotherly bonds in public, while secretly poisoning George Joestar in order to get his fortune quicker. He intended to kill Jonathan with the [[Stone Mask]], but upon discovering the hidden power to unlock the vampire powers of man, he decided to use it on himself in order to become one. After another failed attempt to kill his adopted brother, due to his ego, Dio decides to have others face him rather than turn Jonathan into a zombie himself. After being bested by Jonathan, he quickly changes his mind, only to be thwarted once again. In their final confrontation, Dio admits he respects Jonathan in a twisted sense (to the point of scolding Wang Chan for taunting him) and is genuinely shocked when Jonathan dies. Dio would use Jonathan's body as a host, defining the destiny between him and the [[Joestar Family]] for centuries to come.<br />
*[[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]]: Due to Dio having used the Stone Mask and becoming a Vampire, Zeppeli immediately viewed Dio as an enemy once he learned about the incident at the Joestar Mansion and due to his own father using the same mask to become a Vampire himself. Dio himself is dismissive of Zeppeli's hatred towards his vampiric ways and connection to the Stone Mask, only viewing Zeppeli's mastery of the unfamiliar Ripple as nothing more than magic tricks.<br />
*[[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]]: After hearing from Jonathan what Dio was doing to [[George Joestar I]], Speedwagon decided to help with finding the man that sold Dio the poison. Dio openly declares that after killing Jonathan, he would dispose of Speedwagon as well for being involved. After everything that had happened at the Joestar Mansion, Speedwagon went along with Jonathan and Zeppeli to defeat Dio, knowing that he was too dangerous now as a vampire to be left running around.<br />
*[[George Joestar I|George Joestar]]: While George has always treated Dio with kindness and respect, Dio only saw George as a stepping stone in his quest for wealth. Thus, Dio feigned being the perfect ward to George, and even called him father despite having no such views.<br />
*[[Dire]], [[Straizo]], and [[Tonpetty]]: Being Ripple Warriors, the three knew the dangers of the Stone Mask and viewed Dio as an enemy because of his use of it. Out of the three of them, Dire was the one who really wanted to defeat Dio on his own, due to having been a friend of Zeppeli's for many years and Dio having a role in his death. At the time, Straizo knew that defeating Dio was important; however, many years later, he would admit to the older Speedwagon that he was envious of Dio due to the fact he would never age while Straizo would. This envy became so much that he would later use the Stone Mask on himself just so he could become young again.<br />
*[[Joseph Joestar]]: DIO needed Joseph in order to complete the merger of his head with Jonathan's body, secretly manipulating his minions to bring him closer and closer in order to drain his blood. At first, Joseph was unaware of his existence due to Speedwagon making sure to keep the secret of the Vampire's existence prior to his battle with Straizo. His hatred for DIO intensified, however, when he learnt the whole truth and that he had stolen the body of his grandfather, Jonathan Joestar, to use as his own. This hatred got to the breaking point when DIO's very existence threatened the life of Joseph's daughter [[Holy Kujo|Holy]]. Figuring out that since DIO was the cause of all the Stands in the Joestar family activating, it was more than likely that killing him would save Holy. That plan in mind, Joseph, along with his grandson Jotaro, his old friend [[Muhammad Avdol]], and new ally Noriaki Kakyoin, decide to go to Egypt where DIO had gone to hide, and kill him.<br />
*[[Noriaki Kakyoin]]: Having met DIO on a holiday in Egypt with his family and then put under his control with a Flesh Bud, Kakyoin was loyal to him and would do anything he wanted. However, upon having the bud removed by Jotaro and seeing the harm DIO was causing towards the innocent Holy Kujo, who had shown him kindness as he was recovering at the Kujo residence, Kakyoin decided to go with Joseph, Jotaro, and Avdol to Egypt to defeat DIO.<br />
*[[Jean Pierre Polnareff]]: Like Kakyoin, he too met DIO and was placed under his control. After having the Flesh Bud removed by Jotaro, Polnareff decided to join the team, though at first for his own goals, as Polnareff theorized that DIO would know where his [[Sherry Polnareff|sister's]] [[J. Geil|killer]] would be. Even after he avenged her sister's death, Polnareff chose to stay with the group to defeat DIO. After the deaths of both Avdol and Iggy, Polnareff vowed to defeat DIO no matter what.<br />
*[[Muhammad Avdol]]: Unlike Kakyoin and Polnareff, Avdol recognized who DIO was upon meeting him, due to having heard about DIO from Joseph. As such, Avdol knew the man was an enemy immediately and managed to escape from him before he could be put under his control. With DIO threatening Holy's life due to him activating all the Stands in the Joestar bloodline, Avdol, along with Jotaro, Joseph, and Kakyoin decided to journey to Egypt to defeat Dio.<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Despite DIO viewing Jotaro as nothing but an extension of Jonathan, DIO was fully aware how much of a threat Jotaro was. While Jonathan was an opponent DIO respected, Jotaro was an opponent DIO ''feared'' (although just a bit) since Jotaro could move in the stopped time. Jotaro himself however, saw DIO as nothing but a necessary evil he has to defeat in order to save his mother. After DIO had apparently killed his grandfather Joseph right in front of him, Jotaro's hatred for DIO finally intensified to where, for the first time, Jotaro was visibly enraged and acted on anger. After a long and grueling fight with the vampire, Jotaro finally managed to outwit and kill DIO.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
===Relationships in Over Heaven===<br />
<sup>(The information below derives from a Light Novel not written by Araki. As such, it may not be considered canon.)</sup><br />
<br />
*[[Daniel J. D'Arby|Daniel J.]] and [[Telence T. D'Arby]]: DIO saw the D'Arby brothers as important tools to enter into heaven. While he believed their souls were too impure to enter themselves, he acknowledged their ability to manipulate souls as useful for his own ascension.<br />
*[[Enya the Hag]]: While the novel doesn't add too much to their relationship, DIO states that he would've considered letting her bear his child if she was younger.<br />
*[[Dario Brando]]: While their relationship is about as negative as it is in the manga, it is revealed that he hated his father for allowing him to enter the Joestar Mansion because he thought that one act of kindness allowed Dario to get into heaven, and one of the reasons he wanted to get into heaven was to kill his father again, before merely looking at it as a side opportunity.<br />
*Dio's Mother: In the novel it is revealed that his mother taught him everything he knew about the world. While DIO is unsure if heaven really exists, he believes that her death saved her from her living hell of a life. It is revealed that the words in his diary are from a nursery song she sung him.<br />
*Unborn Sibling: It is revealed that Dio's mother was pregnant with an unborn sibling but ended up miscarrying him/her.<br />
*[[Erina Pendleton]]: DIO respects Erina's strength and in some ways saw her as a bigger threat than Jonathan. DIO theorizes that Erina Joestar placed both him, herself, and the infant Lisa-Lisa in the casket on the boat where Jonathan died in order to escape the boat's explosion. DIO at first believes that Erina did this in hope DIO may return some day as a better man with Jonathan's body. He quickly dismisses the idea, stating that if it was the case that Erina reminded him of his mother.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:GIBT.png|thumb|B.T., the protagonist in ''[[Cool Shock B.T.]]'', is a basis for young Dio.<ref name="JoJomenom">"Manga Art of Hirohiko Araki" p.99-102</ref>]]<br />
<br />
*Dio's name in ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' is written normally, but is later spelled in English as {{Nihongo|DIO|{{Ruby|D|デ}}{{Ruby|I|ィ}}{{Ruby|O|オ}}}} in ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', ''[[Stone Ocean]]'', and one chapter of Phantom Blood.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 17}}</ref> This was probably done to accentuate his metamorphosis as a villain, as well as his more intimidating, fear-mongering, and overall villainous personality.<ref name="DioRMX"><sub>The Miasma of the Void, Vanilla Ice - Vol.9 "Shueisha Jump Remix ''Stardust Crusaders'' Edition" [[:File:SecretJoJoSJRVanillaIce.png|P170 The Secret of JOJO Characters]]</sub></ref><br />
*In [[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]]'s top Ten Favourite Characters in 2000, DIO ranked as 10th, being the third main villain in the countdown.<br />
*In [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven]], Dio Brando and [[Diego Brando]]'s themes are remixes of each other. This is also the case for DIO and [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando from a Parallel World]].<br />
*Araki considers Dio to be 'the true protagonist' of ''Phantom Blood''. Not only did Araki develop Dio's character design before Jonathan, Dio also makes his debut first. Araki pondered in deciding what would be the scariest factor Dio would have, and decided that "evil from the past" coming to get the present descendant would be the most frightening thing. Dio was developed with this concept in mind. After this, Jonathan Joestar's 'light' was designed to counter Dio's 'darkness'.<ref>''JOJOmenon''</ref><br />
*In a spring 2018 interview with [[Shueisha]]'s Kotoba magazine, Araki describes how {{W|Blade Runner}} had influenced his work back when it premiered. He mentions Dio's blond hair and muscular build in particular as being influenced by the Blade Runner character, Roy Batty.<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-02-27/hirohiko-araki-reveals-which-blade-runner-character-inspired-dio/.128280 Hirohiko Araki Reveals Which Blade Runner Character Inspired DIO]</ref><br />
*In a 2007 [[Interview Archive#Eureka (11/2007)|Eureka interview]], Araki states that Dio is the type who would be comfortable being with a man or woman, however, he will do anything to get what he wants and would "absolutely never pour 100% of his love into a specific person."<ref name="eureka" /><br />

{{Quote|Did you think the great Kishibe Rohan draws comics because he wants money?! I draw comics because I "WANT TO BE READ"! That's the one and only reason. I couldn't care less about anything else!|Rohan Kishibe}}<br />
<br />
Rohan Kishibe is a passionate manga artist dedicated to his work, with a particularly abrasive personality but a good heart. <br />
[[File:Rohan_at_work.png|thumb|With proper inspiration, Rohan is entranced when he draws|251x251px]]<br />
Rohan Kishibe is above all defined by his dedication to his work. With great draftmanship talents, Rohan has constantly sought to make the best manga possible in order to keep being read. His wish to be read is so great it trumps any other motivation,<ref name="C320">{{Ch|Chapter 320}}</ref> disdaining money or glory and feeling no need for kinship either.<ref name="C321" /> When drawing, Rohan falls into an artistic trance, drawing with abandon and being distracted with great difficulty.<ref name="C321" /> Because of his tremendous drawing skill, the one thing Rohan seeks the most is inspiration to fuel his work as everything else is an effortless formality. <br />
<br />
To gain inspiration, Rohan is constantly seeking new experiences or facts, investigating anything he might find interesting with blatant disregard for common sense, politeness or the law, for instance buying a whole mountain range to preserve the living area of a supposed yokai and constantly prying into people's lives by turning them into books with his [[Heaven's Door]].<ref name="C319">{{Ch|Chapter 319}}</ref><ref name="C331">{{Ch|Chapter 331}}</ref> Moreover, Rohan is overly curious, willingly throwing himself into strange adventures such as an unusual house sale or a poaching session. His inquisitiveness can turn obsessive and downright morbid as he had to be reigned in to stop harassing [[Koichi]]<ref name="C330">{{Ch|Chapter 330}}</ref> and killed a spider just to taste its innards.<ref name="C320" /> Nonetheless, Rohan considers "reality" to be the greatest inspiration, and looks for genuine material, disdaining fakes such as when Hazamada fakes throwing up.<ref name="C320" /> <br />
<br />
In addition to his own work, Rohan is an amateur of art in all its forms. He possesses movie goodies<ref name="C384">{{Ch|Chapter 384}}</ref> artbooks and manga figures alike,<ref>[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 2: Mutsu-kabe Hill]]</ref> and considers that a visit to the museum to be a solemn occasion necessitating a proper outfit.<ref>[[Rohan at the Louvre]]</ref> <br />
<br />
[[File:Rohan_hating_everyone.png|thumb|left|228px|Rohan looks down on everyone but himself and Koichi]]<br />
Parallel to his artistic passion exists Rohan's general unpleasantness. First of all, Rohan is arrogant, being aware of his nearly superhuman skill as an artist. Thus he generally looks down on everyone else<ref name="C321" /> and may only see people as possible material for his stories. However, he greatly respects Koichi for his courage and niceness.<ref name="C330" /> He also respects [[Tonio Trussardi|Tonio]] as a chef.<ref>[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 6: Poaching Seashore]]</ref> Naturally, Rohan also hates being made a fool of, reacting with extreme dissatisfaction when Josuke cheated against him without him knowing how and cutting off his own finger as self-inflicted punishment.<ref name="C382">{{Ch|Chapter 382}}</ref> Likewise, he didn't like that his editor [[Kyoka Izumi]] dismissed his idea for a one-shot.<ref name=":1">[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 5: Millionaire Village]]</ref> <br />
<br />
His arrogance is paired with his constant coarseness. While he may act with professional courtesy, Rohan is generally brash and impolite. Maintaining a thin veneer of civility, Rohan will usually make no secret of what he thinks of people which, combined with his arrogance, often earns him a mutual disdain with his interlocutors. Likewise, he also likes aggravating people he doesn't like, playing a game with [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] with the declared intention to ruin him,<ref name="C381">{{Ch|Chapter 381}}</ref> has also stated to liking put down people "in their place" by refusing their requests or orders<ref name="C386">{{Ch|Chapter 386}}</ref> and is willing to tease or taunt an opponent. Rohan blatantly disregards courtesy for the sake of his goals, turning people into books on a whim and having at one point entered a confessional just to see the interior. But if he is disinterested, Rohan may also blatantly not remember an interlocutor's name such as Yukako Yamagichi at one point and distract himself while they talk.<ref>[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 8: Deoxyribonucleic Acid]]</ref> He has also occasionally adopted a visible passive-aggressive behavior<ref name="C384" /> and had no qualm punching an annoying [[Ken Oyanagi]].<ref name="C372">{{Ch|Chapter 372}}</ref> <br />
<br />
[[File:Rohan_good_guy.gif|thumb|Pleading for Izumi's life|228x228px]]<br />
Nonetheless, behind his eccentric and discourteous demeanour, Rohan is also a decent person. When he learned about how [[Reimi Sugimoto]] saved him, he took an active part in seeking her murderer in part to give Reimi closure.<ref name="C334">{{Ch|Chapter 334}}</ref> He would also admit, with some persuasion, that he did like her and would miss her.<ref name="C439">{{Ch|Chapter 439}}</ref> Although he looks down on people and clashes with them, he always defends their lives, ultimately saving Ken Oyanagi when the boy tried to commit suicide<ref name="C376">{{Ch|Chapter 376}}</ref> and also saving the abrasive Kyoka Izumi from the gods of the mountains.<ref name=":1" /> Moreover, Rohan's stubborn personality means that he also has an iron-clad moral standard, for instance refusing to let Josuke be attacked by Highway Star despite the Stand promising to free him and Josuke being the person Rohan hates the most.<ref name="C386" /> Finally, Rohan steadfastly grants his fans autographs whenever they ask him, no matter the circumstances.<ref name=":0">[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite his arrogance, Rohan is mature enough to know that surpassing others is easier than surpassing oneself.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 375}}, p12-13</ref><br />

==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Heaven's Door}}<br />
<br />
Heaven's Door enables Rohan to transmute people into "human books", with written pages unfurling from their bodies. These pages relate detailed information about that person, including biological characteristics, history, personality, or even details of their Stand and its abilities.<br />
{{StandBox<br />

<br />
Rohan's Stand [[Heaven's Door]] was acquired when he was shot with the Arrow<ref name="C320" /> and its nature likely originated from his zeal for drawing manga. Rohan states that compelling manga requires a quality that may only be drawn from reality, both for its sensory variety and the depth of experience that humans accumulate.<ref name="C318" /><br />
<br />
====Mastery====<br />
[[File:HeavensDoor KeyArt.png|frameless|left|160px]]<br />
Heaven's Door's simple yet exceptionally versatile power to transform people into books makes Rohan a formidable Stand User. There has been a noticeable shift in Rohan's mastery of his Stand as he initially required someone to look at a manga page to be transformed into a book, but then could draw his art in the air to trigger the effect and has recently been shown to only need a touch to turn targets into books. This shift has been stated as his own progress as a Stand User.<ref name="C331" /><br />
<br />
Rohan liberally uses his power to write commands in people, but usually shows restraint and subtlety in writing said commands. He prefers using very specific orders to compel people into not doing one thing or performing a single task for him, but never more. As a manga artist, he frequently uses his power to pry into people's lives for inspiration, regardless of courtesy.<br />
<br />
He can also use his power in unexpected ways as people are literally transformed into paper and take on paper's property. Thus, he can easily immobilize someone by turning articulations into paper and has transformed an obese man into paper that could unfold and fit between two speeding trains.<br />
<br />
===Personal Skills===<br />
[[File:Rohan_drawing.gif|thumb|250px|Rohan is a genius manga artist]]<br />
<br />
*'''Dexterity, Draftsmanship''': Rohan is an exceptionally talented draftsman, capable if he chooses of finishing manga pages of quality at superhuman speed. He can draw competently without construction lines and shade precisely simply by throwing ink drops with his pen. Such is his speed that he is able to do 19 pages in four days,<ref>Chapter 318</ref> a feat he can easily surpass, as is noted when he still can meet the deadline for his manga during [[Made In Heaven]]'s accelerated time, where time has hastened to the point that ink can dry before it gets to the paper.<ref>Chapter 748: Made in Heaven (6)</ref> Incidentally, his skill also gives him the necessary arm speed to draw a paper sheet off his desk even before Crazy Diamond can complete a punch. He was also able to throw pen nibs with such speed that they pierced Josuke's skin during their initial encounter.<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
In'' [[Rohan Kishibe Goes to Gucci]]'', Rohan inherits his deceased grandmother's [[List of Unnamed Stands#The Gucci Bag Stand|Gucci bag]], which possesses a Stand that allows its owner to hide items to be reobtained when in particular need.<br />

<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Acquaintances===<br />
Despite loving his manga more than anything else, even over friends and family, Rohan still maintains relationships with the protagonists. Most if not all of those are strained.<br />
<br />
*[[Koichi Hirose]]: Koichi was one of the first people Rohan met upon his return to Morioh. Despite trapping Koichi and using him for new manga ideas, Rohan shows more trust and friendship towards Koichi than the rest of [[Morioh]]'s inhabitants. While Koichi is often perturbed by Rohan's near-obsessive behavior over him, he also has attempted to help Rohan in return. Koichi tolerated less and less the worst sides of Rohan's arrogance as he gained confidence and he was overall a positive influence on Rohan's attitude. At the end of Diamond is Unbreakable, one reproachful look from Koichi was enough for Rohan to yield and confess an attachment to Reimi Sugimoto.<br />
<br />
*[[Reimi Sugimoto]]: Reimi was a babysitter for Rohan when he was four years old. As a ghost, Reimi still treats Rohan as though he were a child. While he often acts resentful towards her treatment of him, he also shows unceasing determination to find [[Yoshikage Kira|her killer]], as Reimi had sacrificed herself to save Rohan's life as a child.<br />
*[[Josuke Higashikata]]: Josuke and Rohan loathe each other, with their relationship being strained at best. This first started when Rohan kidnapped Koichi to use as material and nearly had Okuyasu commit suicide. Rohan also insulted Josuke's hair, causing Josuke to beat him until he was in the hospital for a month. Rohan views Josuke as simple-minded, and Josuke is often annoyed by Rohan's arrogance. As a result, Josuke was not above scamming Rohan for money. However, Josuke has tried on at least two occasions to patch up the relationship between the two. During the [[Janken Boy Is Coming! (story arc)|Janken Boy arc]], he asked Rohan if he wanted to sit with him, Okuyasu, and Yukako. He also hoped to patch up their relationship after their battle against [[Highway Star]], though Rohan's stubbornness and grudge prevented this. Despite their sharply contrasting personalities and rough history together, Rohan shows some trust in Josuke, proven when risking his own life to allow Josuke to escape from Highway Star, and the fact he restrains some hostility on the knowledge that he's Joseph Joestar's son, a person he values deeply.<br />
<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Rohan seems to regard Jotaro as knowledgeable, and Jotaro trusts Rohan despite being a former enemy.<br />
*[[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu Nijimura:]] They only truly interact once, when Okuyasu goes to save Koichi from Rohan. Rohan used [[Heaven's Door]] to manipulate Okuyasu, nearly causing him to commit suicide by burning himself. While the two aren't seen together afterwards, it is safe to say they don't have a good relationship since Okuyasu holds a grudge against Rohan for what he did while Rohan is mostly indifferent to Okuyasu.<br />
*[[Joseph Joestar]]: Unlike with most people, he seems rather polite to Joseph, possibly since Joseph is his elder (and often refers to him as Joestar-san or Mr. Joestar). Joseph has been shown to be a fan of Rohan's works, something Rohan appreciates. He usually speaks calmly to Joseph, such as when he explains his investigation in uncovering Kira's whereabouts. He even states one of the main reasons he tolerates Josuke is out of respect for Mr. Joestar, further demonstrating his respect for him.<br />
*[[Nanase Kishibe]]: Rohan first meets her Nanase as "Nanase Fujikura" during his teenage years. Attracted to her, Rohan mentions that his relationship was in effect a first love to him. Indeed, he was noticeably less abrasive in her presence and even showed some protective instincts. However, Nanase fled away before things could evolve in a meaningful way. It is only later that Rohan learns that Nanase is his ancestor.<br />
*[[Tonio Trussardi]]: Although both characters do not interact in the manga, they are featured in [[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 6: Poaching Seashore]] as allies. In the one-shot, Tonio and Rohan are portrayed as friends, even though Rohan disapproved of Tonio coming to Morioh in order to cook. Rohan changed his mind after eating Tonio's abalone risotto, and the two cooperated to go poaching for a rare type of abalones. During their escapade, Rohan ended up saving Tonio's life.<br />
*[[Yukako Yamagishi]]: While the two have no interaction, Rohan learned about her after reading Koichi's memories using Heaven's Door. When Josuke asks if Rohan wants to sit with him, Okuyasu and Yukako, he declines while referring to Yukako as a crazy bitch (or the moody Yukako depending on translations).<br />
*[[Shizuka Joestar]]: The two have little interaction though Rohan once scared her by using the flash on his camera. On another occasion, Rohan used her invisibility powers to force Ken's hand into a rock in Janken, causing Ken to lose against Rohan. He seems to care for her, as he became worried when he lost her and helped Joseph and Josuke look for her.<br />
<br />
*[[Hayato Kawajiri]]: Rohan noticed that Hayato was in the background of many of the pictures he took of people who were possibly Kira in disguise and tailed him. He tried to get information out of him, though Hayato refused, knowing that telling him anything would activate [[Killer Queen#Tertiary Bomb ("Killer Queen Bites the Dust")|Bites the Dust]] and kill Rohan. Rohan did eventually get killed by Bites the Dust since he used Heaven's Door to read Hayato's memories, much to Hayato's horror. Luckily, his fate is avoided thanks to Josuke.<br />
*[[Toshikazu Hazamada]]: Toshikazu was a huge fan of Rohan who accidentally learned about his address and decided to visit the manga artist himself. He was impressed by Rohan and stated he truly admired him from the bottom of his heart even after Rohan used Heaven's Door on him. In contrast, Rohan read through Toshikazu's memories and learned of his sordid personality and actions and frankly dismissed him, much to Toshikazu's sadness.<br />
*[[Tamami Kobayashi]]: The two worked together in the [[I'm an Alien (story arc)|I'm an Alien arc]] to expose Josuke's cheating during a game of Cee-lo between Josuke and Rohan where it was obvious the dice they used were somehow rigged to let Josuke win (it was Mikitaka disguised as dice and constantly throwing winning tosses for Josuke). Although they were not able to find out how Josuke cheated, Tamami still charged Rohan for his services. However, in [[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 2: Mutsu-kabe Hill]], he is shown to be a fan of Rohan and asks for his autograph, which is a stark contrast to their more professional relationship during their first on-screen meeting.<br />
*[[Akira Otoishi]]: Otoishi meets Rohan with Tamami after he is released from prison and excitedly asks for Rohan's autograph, claiming to be a big fan of his. Rohan's editor [[Minoru Kagamari]] harshly denies, saying that Rohan is busy, but Rohan scolds his editor and gives the two of them an autograph.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Yoshikage Kira]]: While initially only interested in chasing down the serial killer in order to improve the quality of his manga, Rohan takes Kira much more seriously after learning that the man had killed his childhood babysitter. Evidently, all of Rohan's attempts at tracking Kira down have been done alone, with limited help from his allies.<br />
*[[Ken Oyanagi]]: Ken initially annoyed Rohan greatly when they first met by challenging him multiple times to Janken (Rock, Paper, Scissors). Because of this, Rohan felt little remorse for making him upset, eventually reaching the point of spontaneously punching him in the face out of irritation. When Rohan learned that Ken was actually attempting to steal Heaven's Door's ability in order to gain power, he acted diligently to beat him, and happily gloated in his victory. Rohan had a change of attitude after seeing Ken attempt suicide over the thought of losing his own Stand, claiming that he is moved whenever he sees people whom are dramatic like him.<br />
<br />
*[[Yuya Fungami]]/[[Highway Star]]: Though Rohan did not meet Yuya personally, he ended up a victim of his Stand. Rohan was shown to have enjoyed defying Highway Star, despite being completely at its mercy.<br />
*[[Masazo Kinoto]]: The architect was hired to inspect Rohan's house after it was burned in order to agree on a rebuilding plan. Upon their meeting, Rohan immediately used Heaven's Door in order to check if he was an enemy Stand user. Learning of Masazo's abnormal fear of having his back seen piqued his curiosity. During the inspection, Rohan tried time and time again to look at Masazo's back, and was eventually successful. This was the cause of Masazo's death, as his own Stand drained his life force and latched onto Rohan.<br />
**[[Cheap Trick]]: The Stand was an immediate threat to Rohan once it attached to him, making constant attempts to get other people to see his back in order to kill him. When he was able to remove the Stand via Reimi's Alley, he uses Heaven's Door to write in it "I'm going to Hell" before it gets dragged off into the unknown.<br />
<br />
===Relationships in ''Eyes of Heaven''===<br />
{{Canon}}<br />
<br />
*[[Yukako Yamagishi]]: In Story Mode, Rohan is unnerved by Yukako's violent tendencies and will state that there is no difference when she is brainwashed by [[Heaven Ascension DIO]]. In Free Battle Mode, Yukako is annoyed by Rohan's teasing of Koichi and threatens him.<br />

{{Quote|Since you said it first... You do tend to be a bad influence, here. Could I ask that you not ever visit here again?|William Cardinal to {{JJ|George Joestar II|George Joestar}}|{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 11}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''William Cardinal'''|ウィリアム・カーディナル|Wiriamu Kādinaru}} is a minor antagonist featured in the light novel, [[JORGE JOESTAR (Novel)|''JORGE JOESTAR'']].<br />
<br />
Cardinal is initially the boyfriend of [[Darlington Motorize]] and later her husband. He treats George with disrespect and contempt even before they've met. He eventually becomes the supreme commander in the {{W|Royal Naval Air Service}}, making him George's superior.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Cardinal is a tall man with an athletic appearance. George mentions that Cardinal has an impressive build compared to his own.<ref name="JORGE11">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 11}}</ref> He has short, tidy hair swept to the side and wears a suit.<br />
<br />
After the attack on the Naval Air Force Base by [[Antonio Torres]] in 1915, Cardinal sits in a wheelchair.<ref name="JORGE11" /><br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
According to Darlington, Cardinal is smart, quite the athlete, and will be a doctor someday but what he really wants to do is write novels.<ref name="JORGE7" /> Two years later, Darlington tells George that Cardinal is hardly a perfect man. He can be shallow, boring, and tactless, but she thinks he's far better than George.<ref name="JORGE9">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 9}}</ref><br />
<br />
Cardinal is an arrogant man who abuses his power. He doesn't get along with George nor his brother-in-law, [[Steven Motorize|Steven]].<ref name="JORGE13" /><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===1905===<br />
[[File:YoungWilliamCardinal.jpg|thumb|right]]<br />
Darlington first mentions William to George as the guy she likes. She brags about him and says that he's two grades above them and knows [[Steven Motorize|Steven]]. She also mentions that William thinks George's opinion on a novel is odd, so George must be an odd individual himself.<ref name="JORGE7" /><br />
<br />
===1907===<br />
Cardinal later becomes Darlington's boyfriend. He stops talking about novels and decides to enlist and become a commissioned officer because he believes he's good at motivating people and would be a better commander than a doctor.<ref name="JORGE9" /><br />
<br />
===1912===<br />
Around 1912, Cardinal becomes engaged to Darlington as her fiancé and meets George for the first time. George becomes jealous after seeing that Cardinal is rather handsome with an impressive build compared to his own. The two have an awkward handshake after George congratulates them on their engagement and then they say nothing to each other. Darlington invites George to their wedding but George declines thinking he wouldn't feel welcome there because of his history with the Motorize family, and Cardinal confirms by saying George is correct. Cardinal tells George to never visit their home again, as he tends to be a bad influence there.<ref name="JORGE11" /><br />
<br />
===1915===<br />
[[File:CardinalPhone.jpg|thumb|right|Cardinal on the phone with George]]<br />
In 1915, George calls the {{W|Royal Naval Air Service}} to report what happened during his flight, including the death of [[Jim Graham]]. Cardinal answers, revealing that he is now the officer in charge of George's unit in the RNAS. He angrily yells at George asking where he is and why he abandoned his injured companion, Jim, then ran off on his own. He insults George for playing dumb, who is confused about Jim seemingly being alive. Thinking George is mocking him, Cardinal hands the phone over to Jim, who is actually [[Antonio Torres]] in Jim's body.<br />
<br />
Cardinal survives the attack on the Naval Air Force Base by Antonio with nothing worse than a broken leg. He tells everyone that he'd ordered George to the fight in London and is treated like even more of a hero than George is. Cardinal gets himself promoted, and by the time the war ends and the Army and Naval Air Forces had been merged into the {{W|Royal Air Force|English Air Force}}, he becomes the supreme commander. As a result, Cardinal never has to go to any dangerous fronts, and gets to sit in his wheelchair acting like a big shot.<ref name="JORGE11" /><br />
<br />
===1920===<br />
[[File:Antonio possessing William Cardinal.jpg|thumb|left|Antonio possessing Cardinal's body]]<br />
After [[Ben Motorize]] recluses himself, Cardinal takes over the Motorize family's affairs. He is constantly at odds with [[John Moore-Brabazon]] in politics. He also doesn't get along with Steven.<br />
<br />
On November 11, 1920, George enters the Motorize home when Steven is late to be the best man for his wedding. Cardinal points his gun at the back of George's head. George manages to use a fireplace poker to knock the gun away, cutting Cardinal's hand in the process. However, they realize Cardinal's hand isn't bleeding so he had actually become a [[Zombie]] unknowingly. Antonio reveals himself, hiding inside Cardinal's body. Antonio begins eating Cardinal's organs, pulling and twisting his skin inward. Antonio ends up taking full control over Cardinal's body, but as Cardinal had been in a wheelchair so long, his legs didn't have the muscles to remain standing. George swings the poker wildly attempting to kill him and cuts off half of Cardinal's skull. Antonio uses Cardinal's voice to say everything is George's fault for cursing the Motorize family and bringing death to their home. Antonio then severely beats up George in Cardinal's body, attacking him with the poker several times.<br />
<br />
Once [[Lisa Lisa]] arrives assuming George had died, she sorrowfully uses the [[Ripple]] to disintegrate Antonio and the corpse of Cardinal he was wearing.<ref name="JORGE13" /><br />

{{nihongo|'''Funny Valentine'''|ファニー・ヴァレンタイン|Fanī Varentain}} is the main antagonist of the seventh part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Steel Ball Run]],'' as well as the sixth [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of the series overall.<br />
<br />
Funny Valentine is the 23rd {{W|President of the United States}} and the true mastermind behind the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]]. He watches the competition from behind the curtains and hopes to gather the [[Saint's Corpse]] as a means to further the United States' ambitions.<br />
<br />
Valentine is a [[Stand]] User, wielding the powerful [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]] and its ability to travel across parallel universes. He later unlocks the ability [[D4C Love Train]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Funny Valentine transparent.png|left|140px|frameless]]<br />
Throughout the narrative, Valentine adopts two main appearances, differing greatly in build. He is originally introduced as an old, stout, overweight man, but around the time he takes the rib cage of the [[Jesus|Saint]], gains a more fit, and muscular appearance. Araki attributes this to his naturally changing art style but also jokes that it is simply because Valentine "worked out."<ref>[[JOJOmenon]] Araki [[Interview Archive|Interview]] (2012)</ref><br />
<br />
After this, it is revealed that spanning his back, Valentine bears deep scars, in a pattern resembling that of the 21st-century {{W|Flag of the United States|flag of the United States}}.<br />
<br />
He consistently wears long, light hair, curling at its ends into a number of thick, well-defined rings (perhaps as a reference to the white periwigs and hairstyles of the 18th century,<ref>Wikipedia: {{W|Wig#18th century|18th century wigs}}</ref> as worn by several early United States Presidents<ref>Wikipedia: {{W|List of Presidents of the United States#List of presidents|List of US Presidents}}</ref>).<br />
<br />
He also normally dons a smooth, uniform outfit, including an overcoat closed to the end of his torso. Under which he wears frilled garments and a pair of gloves with a net pattern on the upper half.<br />

==Personality==<br />
{{quote|As President, it is my sworn duty! In this world, to guarantee the safety of the people of my country. That is what it all comes down to!|Funny Valentine, {{Ch|SBR Chapter 88}}}}<br />
Funny Valentine is a dignified but immoral patriot, militant in his will to accomplish what he thinks is best for the United States.<br />
<br />
Valentine's foremost characteristic is his deep patriotism. Marked by the gruesome fate of his father,<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 87}}, p33</ref> Valentine's goal is for the United States to stand over the rest of the world. To do so, he seeks the blessing of the [[Saint's Corpse|Saint Corpse Parts]], becoming ecstatic when the Corpse blesses him.<ref name="SBR78">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 78}}, p46</ref> Moreover, the President shows a great degree of determination toward this goal. First acting through his subordinates, Valentine then takes a greater active part in seizing the Saint's Corpse, confronting his enemies personally if need be, and ultimately claiming that he has no problem putting his life on the line to fulfill his objectives. He also manages to regain his composure even facing the eternal torture that [[Tusk|Tusk ACT4]] has inflicted on him.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 87}}, p35-36</ref> One of his expressed fears is to have someone petty or worse seizing the Corpse and taking away the happiness that should go into the United States.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 88}}, p16</ref><br />
<br />
Despite this, Valentine is also callous about the lives of individual Americans, never hesitating to sacrifice his own subordinates in his quest for the Corpse<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 85}}, p38</ref> and going as far as to kill them himself if he deems it necessary.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 59}}, p57</ref> He also cruelly trapped a train engineer halfway through a mirror just to assure himself on one advantage.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 78}}, p22</ref> His patriotism also comes with some hypocritical egotism. Despite his declared goal of working for the interests of the country, he regularly declares that his goals are fulfilled and after witnessing Love Train's ability, shouted that everything, including power and glory, was now his.<ref name="SBR78" /> Notably, when he was infatuated with [[Lucy Steel]] disguised as his wife, Valentine tried to sexually assault her and declared that she would bear his child,<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 61}}, p46</ref> saying that he wanted a dynasty to ensure the United States would remain at the top (and by that disregarded the country's democratic roots).<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 61}}, p38</ref><br />
<br />
Valentine is a ruthless individual, having a might-makes-right attitude toward the world, constantly using the metaphor of "taking the napkin first" to signify his gain in power.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 61}}, p23-26</ref> He thinks that power is founded on authority, and part of the reason he wants the Corpse is to obtain a spiritual authority on par with the Vatican. Convinced that not everyone's wishes can be fulfilled and one must always sacrifice something for the sake of another, Valentine chooses to put the United States' prerogatives above the interests of the rest of the world. Valentine respects ambition and ruthlessness and ultimately entrusts the Corpse to an alternate [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando]].<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 91}}, p8</ref> On the other hand, he looks down on Steven Steel's less ambitious goals, calling his will superficial.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 81}}, p35</ref> Claiming that his methods require the least sacrifices possible, they still liberally involve murder and generally violence, as well as manipulation of the people around him.<br />
<br />
In and out of combat, Valentine shows a careful and observant side, regularly watching and thinking about the situation to best see his strengths and vulnerabilities. Firstly, he's made great care to disguise his search behind the Steel Ball Run race to leave rival countries behind<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 25}}, p39</ref> but also closely watched the race, following the racers inside a train and having an underling both stand watch within the participants or recruiting them afterward, or standing ready to ambush the duo. Valentine also understandably keeps tabs on the whereabouts of the Corpse Parts, which after killing Axl RO, allows him to deduce that the infiltrator who broke into his residence was still near him.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 59}}, p61</ref> His observant nature makes him see through Diego Brando's disguise when the latter tries to approach him,<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 68}}, p2-3</ref> and suspect Gyro's determination in their clash that something is amiss,<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 82}}, p18</ref> fully grasping (with the help of a lucky wind gust) the danger the Spin poses to him and how it works.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 82}}, p36</ref> However, when confronting Johnny, Valentine commits a fatal mistake in underestimating the Spin, conceitedly allowing Johnny a last "futile" attempt at shooting him.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 85}}, p43</ref><br />
<br />
Valentine also demonstrates a generally dignified and composed attitude. In attitude, he is a polite man, among others using the formal and neutral pronoun {{Nihongo|"Watashi"|わたし}} for himself, and almost never losing his composure enough to insult someone. He possesses a code of honor, first putting his patriotism above his own interests, and is a man of his words, never killing [[Steven Steel]] despite having reasons to, only because he swore an oath.<ref name="SBR81">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 81}}, p36</ref> Valentine also respects the prowess of his adversaries, notably admiring the [[Spin]] technique as [[Ball Breaker]] tries to breach the dimensional wall.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, Valentine will twist this code whenever convenient and isn't above lying to gain an advantage, notably feeding Johnny with false hopes and half-truths to persuade him into releasing him from Tusk. He also isn't above some petty moments such as slamming one of his men into another dimension to get rid of him<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 73}}, p14</ref> or stomping Steven Steel's wounds to make him suffer as frivolous revenge for him slightly thwarting his plans.<ref name="SBR81" /> During his earlier appearances, Valentine emoted much more, slightly losing his cool on several occasions and also privately calling Diego a "peasant" for having the gall to negotiate with his person on the same level.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 40}}, p49</ref><br />
<br />
Funny Valentine is generally polite but cold toward any individual. The only person he's admitted to having loved is his father, confessing to having been searching for him across multiple universes, although that claim is dubious. Despite his marriage with [[Scarlet Valentine|Scarlet]] and the two sharing a certain fondness for each other, Valentine only appeared to be a little disturbed by her death.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 61}}, p43</ref> Finally, Valentine keeps a professional distance with his subordinates at best, only caring that they fulfill his orders, whether they die or not.<br />
<br />
Valentine has a somewhat humorous quirk: he likes to take afternoon naps and orders everyone around him not to disturb him when he sleeps.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 49}}, p27</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
<br />
===Stand===<br />
====Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap====<br />
{{Main|Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap}}<br />
Valentine's [[Stand]], Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (D4C), enables him access at any time to any number of alternate worlds/universes/dimensions; where if desired he may swap bodies with his counterparts, granting him pseudo-immortality. This requires him to get caught between two objects (for example, a flag and the ground or a sofa and the wall). This limits D4C's ability but not by much since he has gotten caught between water and the bottom of the ocean as a method of using his ability before.<br />

<br />
===Personal Skills===<br />
'''Charisma''': Valentine is an accomplished politician, and enjoyed a high enough popularity to become President. Valentine demonstrates his charisma when he's able to negotiate with [[Johnny Joestar]] and perform a great enough speech to convince the jockey that he has the moral high ground, all that with a short amount of time to prepare.<br />
<br />
'''Agile Feet''': According to his wife, he makes no sound when he walks, and he can even play the {{W|Mandolin|mandolin}} using his feet, simply by dancing on it.<ref name="SBR49">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 49}}</ref><br />
<br />
'''Multi-instrumentalist''': Aside from the mandolin, Valentine has displayed a talent in playing the violin. He and his wife Scarlet seem to have performed together, him at the violin while Scarlet sings and flip the music sheets for him.<ref name=SBRC60P40/><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:little valentine handkerchief.png|thumb|A lesson in patriotism]]<br />
When Funny was a child, his father went to war, and never came back. One day, a soldier named [[Captain Valentine]] came to Funny's house. Captain Valentine then told the story of Funny's father. Showing a handerchief with a date sewn on it, Valentine told Funny how his father had been captured by the enemy and was subjected to torture because the enemy wanted to learn about his company. However, Funny's father never revealed anything, because of the handkerchief where Funny's birth date was sewn, reminding him that he was protecting his family and country. Captain Valentine had retrieved this {{MI|Valentine's Handkerchief|handkerchief}} and visited Funny to honor a friend and impart the importance of patriotism to the boy.<ref name="SBRC87">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 87}}</ref><br />
<br />
It is implied that Funny's mother remarried with Captain Valentine some time later as he is now known as Funny Valentine.<br />
<br />
[[File:Valentine heart.png|thumb|left|A young Valentine acquires the Heart]]<br />
Now a young man, Valentine joined the army. At some point, he was captured by the enemy and brutally tortured, leaving scars spanning his back (in a pattern resembling that of the flag of the United States).<ref name="SBR61">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 61}}</ref> During an army exercise in the San Diego desert, Valentine's company perished as they entered a [[Devil's Palm]]. Unable to find their way, the entire company died, save Valentine who encountered the Heart, which fused to his chest. He managed to return to civilization. From his encounter with the Heart, Valentine realized that there must be other Corpse Parts forming a [[Saint's Corpse|whole body]] and decided to seek them out, so that the US could benefit from it.<ref name="SBRC67">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 67}}, p11-13</ref><br />
<br />
Valentine then started a political career. Thanks to his political prowess and popularity, Valentine became the 23rd President of the United States in 1889. At that time, Valentine met [[Steven Steel]], who wanted to organize his [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]]. Interested, Valentine became a secret backer of the race and took over the race's organization so that it would come close to the hiding spots of the Corpse Part in the hopes that Stand Users would stumble upon the Corpse Parts and collect them for Valentine.<ref name="SBRC67" /><ref name=":0">{{Ch|SBR Extra Chapter 2}}, p2-4 </ref> He also started to recruit other Stand Users to act as his agents and assassins during the race.<br />
<br />
Another account tells a different story about Valentine's first encounter with the Corpse Parts. While being a representative in the US Congress, Valentine discovered the map of Joseph of Arimathea. Valentine then participated in a Puritan search party travelling to the first cross in the map near San Diego without realizing the importance of the map and found the Heart. He was the lone survivor of his party and testified that his party was caught in quicksand, hence their deaths.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
In addition, 15 years before the events of [[Steel Ball Run]], Valentine met his future wife [[Scarlet Valentine|Scarlet]]. The two met when the latter was still a student. According to her, he was someone from her home town. They met at a party and Valentine impressed Scarlet with his silent footsteps and by playing the mandolin with his feet. Later on, Funny and Scarlet married together.<ref name="SBR49">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 49}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Steel Ball Run (1890-1891)===<br />
<br />
====Monitoring The Steel Ball Run====<br />
When the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] starts, Valentine keeps an eye on its progress.<br />
<br />
[[File:valentine and steven.png|thumb|Valentine and Steven Steel]]<br />
At the beginning of the race, Valentine makes a train his temporary headquarters. In here, he follows the Steel Ball Run, receiving reports from spies and other [[Valentine's Subordinates|subordinates]]. He receives a message from [[Oyecomova]] who informs him that [[Gyro Zeppeli]] probably found a [[Devil's Palm]]. During a meeting with [[Steven Steel]], Valentine informs the promoter of this and notes that Gyro will be disposed of. This shock Steel who was unaware there would be bloodshed. He then shows Steel Joseph of Arimathea's map and orders him to make sure the race is a success. Lucy Steel inadvertently enter the wagon bringing coffee, but one of Valentine's assistants blocks her path. Lucy spills the coffee, but [[Pork Pie Hat Kid]], who is positioned on the roof of the train, takes and drinks all of it before Valentine can be splashed. At the end of the second stage, Valentine sees that [[Pork Pie Hat Kid]] has failed and that Gyro Zeppeli is still alive. However, his men have retrieved Pork Pie Hat Kid's item and notably a piece of clothing one which the words "movere crus" were burned. Valentine shotguns a can of beer and uses the can to verify that the Corpse Part Pork Pie Hat Kid was in contact with is an arm. He thus deduces that it is [[Johnny Joestar]] who had the arm and shifts his focus to him. He orders his men to send in [[Dr. Ferdinand]]. Valentine suddenly feels he's being observed and checks outside the train, but sees no one. In truth, [[Lucy Steel]] has eavesdropped on his conversation and seen the Heart on his chest.<br />
<br />
[[File:a traitor in kansas city.png|thumb|left|Blackmore & Valentine raise the alarm about a traitor]]<br />
Valentine overtakes the racers and installs a new headquarter in Kansas City. Receiving reports of Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli going missing, Valentine questions why the balloons cannot follow these two and his assistant argues that it is still difficult to follow someone with a balloon. Valentine then wonders if Steel is being uncooperative. However, he cannot dispose of him yet. Unbeknownst to him, he's being spied on by Lucy from the other side of the street. Valentine and [[Blackmore]] go to the roof where the aviary is kept and checks on it to see if [[Ringo Roadagain]]'s messenger pigeons have arrived. Blackmore guesses correctly that Ringo's pigeons must have recently arrived but also that someone broke in the cage. Valentine spots a feather coming out of under the cage and sees the pigeon flying away. Blackmore retrieves the pigeon but the capsule it carries is empty. Someone has stolen {{MI|Ringo's Message}}. Unbeknownst to him, the thief is Lucy Steel who, fearing for Steven's safety, has decided to work against Valentine. Valentine's men scour the building but the thief escapes by a hair's breadth without being seen. However, Blackmore notices that the thief has used the phone, although he follows the trail, Blackmore is eventually killed.<br />
<br />
[[File:valentine meets diego.png|thumb|Valentine strikes a deal with Diego Brando]]<br />
By the time the top competitors cross the finish line of the 4th stage in Kansas City, Valentine only knows that Blackmore made a call 5&nbsp;km from the city but that the line was suddenly cut. Although he knows [[Mountain Tim]] was involved, Valentine remains focused on the unknown traitor. [[Diego Brando]] calls for a meeting in an alley and Valentine sends one of his men to meet the jockey, observing from a nearby roof. Diego reveals that he knows about the [[Saint's Corpse]] but is ready to sell the Right Eye for mayorship of Manhattan Island; he then reveals that he also knows about the existence of the traitor. Valentine is forced to accept the deal and reveals [[Sandman]] to Diego, as he made a similar deal with the Indian to retrieve the Corpse Parts from Johnny and Gyro.<br />
<br />
[[File:lucy steals valentine's heart.png|thumb|left|Lucy almost steals the Heart from Valentine, but her mission fails]]<br />
Valentine then goes to a presidential residence in Chicago, where he's joined by his wife [[Scarlet Valentine|Scarlet]]. He also meets [[Wekapipo]] at one point and hires him, promising the exiled Neapolitan a US citizenship, right of permanence residence and a high-ranking position in the government for him and any potential family if he kills Johnny and Gyro.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 51}}, p24</ref> The survivor of the [[Eleven Men]] retrieves the Ears and Right Arm from Johnny and the next day, Diego informs his agent [[Mike O.]] that the traitor is probably a woman weighting 51&nbsp;kg. Although no women were allowed in his government building in Kansas City and although the traitor isn't a [[Stand]] User, Valentine decides to have Mike O. investigate every woman related to the staff. Valentine permits the execution of the traitor on the spot. <br />
<br />
Later, Valentine takes one of his afternoon naps but wakes up as Scarlet walks in. In truth, it is [[Lucy Steel]], disguised as Scarlet thanks to [[Hot Pants]]' [[Cream Starter]]. Questioning "Scarlet" about her sudden appearance, Valentine is surprised when she pretends to want to play with his lips and sneakily makes him ingest a sleeping drug hidden in her nail. Valentine goes asleep and Lucy steals his Corpse Part. Nonetheless, the operation goes awry and Valentine wakes up surrounded by guards. Valentine realizes that his Corpse Parts have been stolen, but he thankfully retrieves the Right Arm and Spine. However, Hot Pants steals the Ears and Heart. For her part, "Scarlet" is safe. The real Scarlet has died and is disguised as Lucy.<br />
<br />
[[File:Valentine gettysburg.png|thumb|In Gettysburg, Valentine seizes most of the Saint's Corpse]]<br />
During the seventh stage, Valentine is informed of Johnny and Gyro's movement towards Gettysburg. With all the Corpse Part save the Head being accounted for, Valentine deems that it is time for him to act. Valentine goes to Gettysburg and shoots [[Axl RO]], whom he'd sent earlier to attack the heroes, "saving" Johnny from him and thus committing no sin, allowing Valentine to avoid being attacked by Axl's [[Civil War]]. He is able to retrieve the nearly completed [[Saint's Corpse]] and leaves unimpeded. With only the Eyes and Head missing, Valentine plans to dispose of [[Diego Brando]], and also realizes that since neither Johnny nor Hot Pants had the Right Eye, that must mean the unknown traitor has it.<br />
<br />
====In Philadelphia ====<br />
Valentine settles in Independence Hall and hides the Corpse in a chimney. He notably sends [[Magent Magent]] to eliminate [[Steven Steel]].<br />
<br />
On December 28, 1890, 2:45 PM, Valentine and Scarlet participate in a music session. He takes the occasion to confront his "wife", knowing that she is an impostor, and confesses that she is strangely charming. The Right Eye falls out of Lucy's pocket and rolls towards the Corpse' hiding spot in an adjacent room. Valentine notices her interest in the room and in return, she asks him the reason of his interest in the race to change the subject of the conversation. Valentine thus explains himself, his philosophy and how obtaining the Corpse will allow America to stand atop the world.<br />
<br />
Excited by his speech, Valentine forces himself on "Scarlet", who draws a knife and tries to stab him. Valentine grabs her wrist at first but Lucy surprises him by shedding her disguise. Valentine is shocked to see her and is stabbed in the throat. However, he goes to another dimension and another Valentine takes his place. When he returns, Lucy has disappeared and her boots are scattered in the corridor. However, Valentine uses [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]] to examine a parallel universe and sees that Lucy has tried to trick him and is in fact hiding in the room where the Corpse is stored. Threatening to kill her loved ones if she commits suicide, Valentine breaks down the door, only to find that the [[Saint's Corpse]] has merged with Lucy and that she is the host of the Head as well.<br />
<br />
[[File:valentine attacks diego.png|thumb|left|Valentine finally reveals his Stand to attack Diego and take the last Corpse Part]]<br />
On December 28, 1890 16:05 PM, Valentine spots Diego trying to infiltrate the Independence Hall and lures him outside. He and his agent [[D-I-S-C-O]] go to a park nearby to confront [[Diego Brando|Diego]], [[Wekapipo]], Johnny and Gyro. While [[D-I-S-C-O]] fights [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] at 16:10 PM, Valentine shoots [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] but Johnny escapes in the sewers before he can finish him off. He also makes three universes coexist to make Diego and Wekapipo also shoot alternate Johnnys, confusing the witnesses. Valentine then attacks Diego and Wekapipo. His abilities are still unknown to the two, allowing him escape being pinned to a wall. He returns to the base world and while Wekapipo handicaps him, Valentine manages to leave with a flag and then drags Diego into an alternate universe. Trapping him inside of the flag, Valentine extracts the Left Eye. The two Diegos begin to disintegrate and Valentine leaves, but is shot in the throat by an alternate Johnny Diego has led to their location. Shot from behind as he runs to a door, Valentine still escapes back to the base world with the Eye as he closes the door on himself, leaving his alternate self for dead.<br />
<br />
After seeing Lucy for what she truly is, he holds her until the Corpse's power is at its fullest. He hires [[D-I-S-C-O]] to stall Gyro so he can kill Johnny himself. Using Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, he sends both Diego Brando and [[Wekapipo]] (both have since defected from Valentine's employ) to alternate dimensions to shoot Johnny and eliminate the three at once. He fights Wekapipo and Diego with the odds in his favor, then Diego uses [[Scary Monsters]] to guide Johnny to safety and shoot Valentine. However, Valentine uses his Stand to replace his dying body. Angered, Valentine still promises Lucy that he won't bring harm to Steven and then tears the message. Valentine also disposes of the coach driver that brought Lucy by slamming him into another universe.<br />
<br />
Valentine then joins a ship, the USS Blue Hawaii, and uses the Eyes to watch Lucy and talk to her from afar. Lucy doesn't recognizes the voice and she and Steven are lured to his boat. Lucy tries to attack him with a tear blade but Valentine stops her. Creeping up on her, Valentine notices that she's torn a piece of her skirt and hidden it to tip his enemies. He reaches a trainyard and takes off in a train to go to New Jersey with Lucy. He also forces the train engineer to constantly make the train advance, trapping him halfway inside a mirror while killing an alternate self so that the train engineer must always hold the acceleration lever or die. Meanwhile, he's pursued by [[Diego Brando|Diego]], [[Hot Pants]], [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]].<br />
<br />
====The blessing of the Saint's Corpse====<br />
[[File:diego vs valentine.png|thumb|Diego fights Funny Valentine]]<br />
In the train, [[Ticket to Ride]] begins to take form and Valentine sees [[Diego Brando|Diego]] and [[Hot Pants]] pursuing him. To slow them, Valentine takes alternate Diego and Hot Pants from a neighbouring universe and tosses them out of the train so that they disintegrate each other. In the train, Valentine observes Lucy's horrific transformation and realizes that he isn't a mere host but the Head itself. Suddenly, Diego leaps to attack. The jockey and [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]] begin a close quarters fight but Diego is faster and cuts Valentine. The jockey promises to gouge his organs out. Valentine tries to close a door on himself to flee but Hot Pants prevents him from closing the door. The President tries to jump between a sofa and the wall but Diego kicks the sofa out of the way and attacks. When Valentine tries to defend himself, Diego cuts both of his hands. Valentine then tries to hide in a curtain but Hot Pants' arm lifts it out of the way and Diego slashes his throat. Luckily, a jug of water spills on him and the water allows Valentine to go to another Universe and transfer his powers and memories to another body. Valentine returns to the base world via a drawer, knocking out Hot Pants and bringing two Valentines with him. Although it seems the three Valentines have the advantage, Hot Pants disguises Diego in the middle of the struggle, confusing the Presidents. In that moment of hesitation, two Valentines are killed by Diego. Valentine tries to flee through a window but Diego follows him and shoves the glass shards out of the way. When Diego drives his fist in the President's throat and cuts open his chest, it seems the jockey has secured his win. But then, a bit of Valentine's hair is caught under the wheels of the train. Using this opportunity, the nearly dead Valentine locks his legs around Diego and drags him under the train while he personally goes to another worlds and switches with another Valentine. Diego is cut is half and dies.<br />
<br />
[[File:valentine blessing.png|thumb|left|Valentine understands the nature of the Corpse's blessing]]<br />
Valentine returns to witness strange spatial phenomenons occuring that merge Hot Pants with random objects and kill her. Seeing that there is a convergence of the world around [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]], Valentine understands that a new ability from the [[Saint's Corpse]] is manifesting itself and discovers a "gap" in space, a flat pocket dimension deliminted by a wall of light. Valentine then notices Johnny outside of the train. Johnny shoots four nails and the bullet holes pursue the President. He slams the holes between the pages of a journal, expecting to be able to make them disappear, but the holes persist in the base world and begin to destroy his arms. Valentine is hit twice more in the wrists but decides to put his hands in the gap. The damage is then transferred to a nearby farmer, who dies in Valentine's stead. Understanding the power of the Corpse, Valentine becomes ecstatic.<br />
<br />
Valentine then completely enters the gap and pilots it towards [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]]. That way he is able to get out of the train to attack. Johnny's nails hit the wall of light and the "bad" is redirected to other countries where people die in Valentine's stead. Valentine pursues Johnny and has [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap|D4C]] take an arm ouf of the gap to karate chop him, but he is interrupted by a [[Steel Ball]] thrown by [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]. Still, Valentine is invincible inside of the gap and D4C swipes at Gyro, causing a scratch that becomes a heart wound. Valentine almost reaches Johnny but the jockey shoots the coupling of the train and detaches the locomotive. Valentine's wagon slows and Johnny and able to get out of range.<br />
<br />
[[File:johnny arm cut off.png|thumb|Johnny's arm is cut by D4C]]<br />
Surprisingly for Valentine, the two horseriders do not flee but prepare to charge the train. After reassuring Lucy that although she will die, a goddees will be born in her place, the President steps out of his train and hides in the gap again. Controlling the shape of the gap, Valentine hides under the train tracks to single out Johnny. He eventually catches up to the jockey and cuts off his hand. D4C slams Johnny to the ground. Gyro throws a Steel Ball but it has no effect. Suddenly, Valentine is distracted by a mouse and is pulled away before he can kill Johnny. It is [[Steven Steel]], who has carried Lucy out of the train and begs Gyro to take her away. Valentine rushes to attack Gyro but he narrowly misses him. The Neapolitan is able to ride away with Lucy. Angered, Valentine slams Steven against the car but refrains from killing him, as he promised. He nonetheless stomps him to calm his frustration.<br />
<br />
[[File:valentine kills gyro.png|thumb|left|Valentine inflicts a mortal wound to Gyro]]<br />
Valentine follows [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] towards the Atlantic, still wondering why the two persist in challenging him. However, he knows that Gyro must have a trick up his sleeves. When the wind blows, Valentine realizes that he's missing his entire left ear and understands what the [[Spin]] can do. Gyro charges at him on his horse and Valentine roughly grasps Gyro's plan of attack. He uses the surrounding water to go to other dimensions and brings two other Valentines with him as decoy. Moreover, he transfers [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap|D4C]] to a counterpart so that the one with the missing ear can also trick Gyro. However, the Neapolitan sees through the trick and strikes D4C with his [[Steel Ball]]. A new Stand, [[Ball Breaker]], appears and breaks through the wall of light and ages his body considerably. However, Valentine is not killed. In a miraculous stroke of luck, Gyro's sphere has crossed the wall of light midair before hitting D4C, causing an infinitesimal part of it to be scraped off and undoing the perfectly spherical shape of the projectile. Thus, Valentine was spared the full power of the ability. Before charging again, Gyro imparts his last Spin lesson to Johnny. When Gyro attacks again, Ball Breaker isn't even able to reach him and Valentine slashes Gyro's stomach, dealing a mortal wound. Gyro dies. To seal the deal, Valentine empties his revolver on Gyro's corpse.<br />
<br />
Overwhelmed by grief and rage, Johnny charges at Valentine but forgets to produce the Super Spin. Johnny wastes nine nails as Valentine hides in the waves, only to reappear from the other side of Johnny's horse to slash its throat. Johnny is unhorsed. Sure of his victory, Valentine approaches Johnny and deems him to be the final sacrifice. As Johnny has one nail left, the President dares him to fire it. However, Johnny finally understands Gyro's last lesson. Using Gyro's Steel Ball, Johnny throws it at Slow Dancer's leg, causing a kick reflex and sending Johnny flying. Furthermore, it means Johnny has also asborbed the energy of the Spin from the horse and unlocks [[Tusk]] ACT4. Johnny then fires his pinky nail.<br />
<br />
====Valentine's Demise====<br />
[[File:Valentine buried.png|thumb|Valentine is buried alive by Tusk ACT4]]<br />
Seeing [[Tusk#Tusk ACT 4|Tusk ACT 4]], Valentine understands his mistake and desperately recalls D4C inside of the light. However, when the nail collides with the wall, Tusk opens the wall and enters the gap in space to pummel D4C and Valentine to the ground so hard it creates a hole. Valentine flees by using his coat but finds himself buried alive since he hopped to another Universe from under the ground level. He still manages to transfer D4C to another Valentine who immediately heads out to kill Johnny. Suddenly, Valentine sees his foot turned the wrong way and realizes that his body is being hit by an infinite Spin, so powerful that every atom in his body is spinning and forcing him to return to the hole on the ground. Suffocating, Valentine tries to hop into another universe and go as quickly as possible in the base world, only to be pulled into the ground again and again. Even if he trains to take a coach away from the hole, the Spin forces him back. Valentine thus faces the possibility of buried alive forever in the hole, which nearly breaks his spirit. <br />
<br />
However, Valentine then remembers Captain Valentine's lesson of patriotism. Determined to kill Johnny, Valentine prepares his retaliation. First, he finds a [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando from a Parallel World]], to whom he reveals everything and asks to take the [[Saint's Corpse]] because he at least respects Diego's ambition. He thus hides Diego with him when he comes back to the base world and confronts Johnny alone. He also takes a [[Cream Starter]] from another [[Hot Pants]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Valentine betrayal.png|thumb|left|Valentine's last gambit]]<br />
Valentine attemps to negotiate with Johnny and offers him to bring another [[Gyro Zeppeli]] so that Johnny can see his friend again, and guarantees that he won't pursue them anymore. In exchange, Johnny would shoot him with an infinite Spin in the reverse direction to cancel the effects of Tusk. Shocked, Johnny argues that it won't be the same Gyro, but Valentine dismisses the argument, stating that no matter what, "Gyro Zeppeli" will be alive in the base world. Valentine then explains himself and says that he wanted the Saint's Corpse for the United States' sake and bring eternal blessing to his country as well as protect it from its enemies. Valentine states that it was his duty as a President to retrieve the Corpse and claims that his plan involved as little bloodshed as possible. Because of his duty, Valentine cannot die there on the coast. Johnny is shaken by Valentine's speech but demands more guarantees. Valentine thus gives Cream Starter to Johnny so that he can heal his companions. Finally, Valentine shows that he is a man of his word by showing his father's handkerchief, explaining his story, and swears on his {{MI|Valentine's Handkerchief|father's handkerchief}} that he will not take revenge. <br />
[[File:FValentineDeath.png|thumb|216x216px|Valentine's death.]]<br />
Johnny believes Valentine, but tosses Valentine's old discarded revolver (which he shot Gyro's corpse with) at him and asks the President to pick it up, just to be sure. However, Valentine is hiding the same revolver behind him. Valentine draws his gun and sends [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap|D4C]] to attack Johnny; he hits Johnny in the guts. However, Johnny shoots him in the throat. Not dead yet, Valentine fires again but misses the vitals while Johnny hits Valentine in the chest. Johnny shoots a final bullet right in Valentine's forehead. The President dies, and his Corpse is dragged underground by the Infinite Spin, never to be seen again.<br />
<br />
At the conclusion of ''Steel Ball Run'', it is mentioned that despite Valentine's disappearance from the public eye at the end of the race, he attained approval ratings as high as 91%. Ironically, the heads of state of every nation sent distinctions to him.<br />

|{{Q|Suppose that… you were sitting down at a table. The napkins are in front of you. Which napkin would you take? The one on your left or the one on your right? [The left] is correct. But, in a larger sense of society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute society with the universe. The correct answer is that “it is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first. Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there’s no choice but for the others to also take the napkin on their right. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. <br />
This is society… who are the ones who determine the price of land first? There must have been someone determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and regulation? Who was the first one to determine those things? Did we all do it, because this is a republic? Or was it arbitrary? No! The one who took the napkin first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by the same principle as “right or left?”! In a society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era… this world has been operating by this napkin principle.<br />
And the one who takes the napkin first must be someone respected by all. It’s not that anyone can fulfil this role… those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the losers. In the case of this table… the eldest or the master of the party will take the napkin first… because everyone respects those individuals. For example, if Jesus-Christ were sitting at this table… no matter who you are, even if you are the Pope, you would have no choice but to take your napkin after Jesus-Christ, yes ?|Funny Valentine , {{Ch|SBR Chapter 61 }}}}<br />
|{{Q|Soon, I will obtain that power… that object that all will pay their respects to. Something irrefutable. Something immovable. That is true power. And those under this power’s influence can only be allies. I will become the one that can take the napkin first. I, Funny Valentine, will be the one sitting at that table.|Funny Valentine , {{Ch|SBR Chapter 61 }}}}<br />
|{{Q|The Holy Corpse which entered Lucy Steel’s body in the fireplace room has chosen the one able to assemble it all, me! The corpse favors me, Funny Valentine!|Funny Valentine , {{Ch|SBR Chapter 72 }}}}<br />
|{{Q|The wounds on my hands were… sent away. She’s a goddess… Lucy Stell… This Lucy that the Corpse chose is… truly… my goddess existing in this reality. Where there are places the sun’s light hits, there must also be shadows… where there is happiness, on the other side, there must be those who have misfortune… From God’s perspective happiness and misfortune balance out to zero! Then stable peace! Far more feasible than people firmly shaking hands as equal is one absolutely superior person governing over them. That is the reality of the world of man!!|Funny Valentine , {{Ch|SBR Chapter 78 }}}}<br />

[[File:FunnyValentineASBpng.png|thumb|225px|right]]<br />
Valentine is a playable character in ''All Star Battle'' (PS3), he was the last standard character confirmed for the game, alongside [[Yoshikage Kira|"Kosaku Kawajiri"]]. As a Part 7 character, three parts of the '''Holy Corpse''' appear scattered on stages when he, Johnny, or Gyro are used, which they can pick up to receive blessings that boost their performance in combat. <br />
<br />
Valentine has the lowest health in the game, reflecting his many "deaths" throughout the part. Valentine is both the only playable villain and "Stand" Style fighter in Part 7. Valentine can turn Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap on/off, changing move-sets, as well as have access to the '''Stand Rush''' ability returning from the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Capcom game]], being able to attack in conjunction with his Stand. Valentine has 950 HP.<br />
<br />
Valentine triggers unique animations when hit by Johnny and Gyro's GHAs respectively.<br />
<br />
*'''Johnny''' - "'''Pretty long for a shortcut!'''": Valentine attempts to protect himself with D4C Love Train, only for Tusk ACT4 to forcefully rip the dimensional wall open and fly past, recreating the climactic scene from the battle in the manga. When beating Valentine, a slow-motion close-up of Tusk punching D4C in the face and the hit reflecting in Valentine is shown.<br />
<br />
*'''Gyro''' - "'''Ball Breaker'''": Valentine attempts to protect himself with D4C Love Train, only for Ball Breaker to penetrate and fly through the dimensional wall, recreating the scene from the battle in the manga. Ball Breaker will zoom past Valentine and D4C's face, the two attempting to brace themselves, before exploding in a blast of Complete Golden Spin Energy.<br />
<br />
During a fight, Valentine showcases skills and feats he had performed throughout ''Steel Ball Run''.<br />

|desc2=Valentine has a special skill exclusive to him, {{Nihongo|"'''Back from the 'other side''''"|自分を「隣りへ」捨てて「入れ替わっている」}}. He can only perform the skill when he has all three Corpse Parts and three stocks of the Heart Heat Gauge. Valentine will swap places with an alternate version of him from another dimension, which completely refills his health bar. If Valentine is low on health and has activated "Rumble Mode", then it will persist into his transition, leaving him at full health with Rumble Mode engaged. The drawback of this move, however, is that Valentine loses all Corpse Parts and his HHG is disabled for the rest of entire match. If struck by [[Yoshikage Kira|Kosaku-Kira]]'s GHA after having used this skill successfully, Valentine's HHG will be restored once time has looped backward.<br />
|head3=Saint Corps's blessing<br />

<br />
#The Guard Gauge does not deplete as quickly.<br />
#Valentine's defense is increased, reducing damage taken by 25%.<br />
#'''D4C -Love Train-''' goes into effect. A dimensional wall of light surrounds Valentine. All projectiles except those unleashed through HHA and GHA are completely nullified. His damage reduction is also further increased to 70%, and his attack speed increases, granting him more abilities to combo into or unleash as surprise attacks.<br />

If the opponent is caught, they are draped over by the flag (an image reminiscent of a military funeral ceremony) and Valentine jumps in shortly afterward. The two are pulled into another dimension, interrupting the battle between alternate universe versions of themselves. While Valentine poses with his expecting doppelganger, the opponent slams into theirs as they violently disintegrate into a shower of Menger Sponges as per the rules of D4C.<br />

<br />
In the English localization, if Valentine is mirror matched against himself, during the dialogue before the fight, the first Valentine will provoke saying "''Get ready for amber waves of pain!''", while the second Valentine will say "''Hello me. Meet the REAL me''" (the latter being a lyric from the song "Sweating Bullets" by the band Megadeth)<br />
<br />
Valentine possesses an alternate costume, being the attire he wears on the cover of the final chapter of ''Steel Ball Run'' (a more classic president-like suit for the time period). In the English localization, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap is simply shorted to "D4C".<br />

[[File:FunnyVEoH.png|thumb|255px|right]]<br />
Valentine was confirmed for ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven'' alongside Johnny, Gyro, and [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|THE WORLD Diego]].<br />
<br />
As a Stand User, Valentine is one of many characters with wildly varied abilities that grant him uniqueness in battle.<br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - Must...escape...to the next dimension...and hide...''': Valentine jumps as he pulls out a flag and uses it to hide in another dimension, before reappearing from another flag. Depending on whether or not Valentine is locked onto an opponent, he will either reappear in the air behind them from anywhere on the stage, easily allowing for a Backstab to follow, or simply reappear in place from where he initially leapt. Valentine is granted invincibility from the moment he pulls out the flag until he reappears, and gains super armor upon reappearing until he lands. He may follow-up on his reappearance with a Normal or Powerful Attack, as well as any skill while falling.<br />
*'''It's merely self-defense!''': Valentine pulls out a revolver and fires six bullets before tossing it away. His shots may automatically angle themselves slightly upward or downward depending on where his target is.<br />
*'''That really irritated me, so I'm really going to have to hurt you now.''': Valentine and D4C charge forward a short distance before unleashing a barrage of 6 chops that send opponents caught flying on the final hit. If the target is splat against a wall, the attack can be inputted a second time and Valentine will follow it up by disappearing into another dimension. He will then briefly reappear in front of the target with two more Valentines as the three, in unison, uppercut and send them flying.<br />
*'''This is another me...''': Valentine throws a piece of glass into the air as D4C shatters it, allowing him to switch dimensions. He then reappears with a parallel version of himself that will proceed to attack on his own. The parallel Valentine has his own health gauge separate of Valentine, and can utilize any of his skills and attacks. While the parallel Valentine is active, the original Valentine cannot use any attacks or skills involving D4C. After some time has passed or the parallel Valentine's health empties, he will retreat back into his own dimension using his own flag.<br />
**'''President Icon''': A small icon on the right side of Valentine's health gauge showing a duplicate of his profile displays whether or not the parallel Valentine is active. It is dimmed by default, and lights up to indicate that the parallel Valentine is currently active.<br />
*'''If I switch out with this new me...''': Valentine swaps places with an alternate version of himself from another dimension, completely replenishing his current health gauge. However, Valentine's defense permanently lowers every time he uses this skill, making it easier for his opponents to deplete his health overall. This will stack up to 3 times, at which point Valentine can lose a full health gauge after receving only a small amount of damage.<br />
*'''EX - That really irritated me, so I'm really going to have to hurt you now.''': Valentine is invincible from the moment of the skill's execution to when the first chop is thrown.<br />
*'''EX - This is another me...''': Valentine is invincible until the parallel Valentine is successfully active. The in-game description falsely implies that Valentine is invincible while the parallel Valentine is active.<br />
*'''Trait - D4C -Love Train-''': When Valentine reaches his last health gauge, a dimensional wall of light surrounds him. While active, all projectiles are completely nullified. However, Love Train has an innate durability, and will disappear when enough projectiles have made contact with it. Valentine also remains vulnerable to Johnny Joestar's "Who'll be the sacrifice?" skill.<br />
*'''Dual Heat Attack - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap''': Identical to its performance in ''All Star Battle'', though executes faster for the sake of brevity.<br />
<br />
====JoJolities====<br />
<br />
*'''Dojyan!''' (dubbed "'''Ta-dah!'''" in the English localization): Valentine must use his Style Action 3 times. (200 Points)<br />
*'''You're the only one who can come in from the other side...''': Valentine must use "This is another me..." 3 times. (200 Points)<br />
*'''Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap''' (dubbed "'''Filthy acts, at a reasonable price'''" in the English localization): Valentine must Backstab 5 times. (300 Points)<br />
*'''Pick up the napkin first!''': Valentine must use "If I switch out with this new me...". (500 Points)<br />
*'''My soul is in clear, unclouded tandem with my actions! Everything I do is for justice!''': Valentine must Retire an opponent without losing a single health gauge. (800 Points)<br />
<br />
====Story Mode====<br />
In the game's story, Valentine is the root cause of [[Heaven Ascension DIO]]'s appearance in the universe, and the entire story of the game because of it. During the events of his final battle with Johnny, trapped by Tusk ACT4's power, Valentine searches the various parallel universes in hopes of something capable of saving him while he buys time against his enemy. After some searching, he encounters a version of DIO within another universe. That version of DIO was able to undo the power of the Golden Spin with only a wave of his hand, and Valentine initially looked to him for help. However, after telling the alternate DIO of the existence of parallel universes, Valentine quickly realizes his mistake: Heaven Ascension DIO immediately made it his objective to subjugate and conquer every universe possible.<br />
<br />
With his country threatened by the so-called "terrorist", Valentine ultimately decides to ally himself with the Joestar family, as they are his best hope for defeating Heaven DIO. Appearing multiple times under the guise of being one of Heaven DIO's minions sent to fight the protagonist group, he discreetly gives aid to the Joestars through small pieces of information each meeting.<br />
<br />
Eventually, after the Joestar family's first encounter with Heaven DIO, Valentine directly approaches them. He confirms of the original universe DIO's status and hints at the weakness of DIO's new Heaven Ascension form. While Johnny is rightfully distrustful of Valentine, Valentine attempts to diffuse his suspicion by tossing the revolver he had hidden, forcing Johnny to throw his own version as the group witnesses the menger sponge effect. Despite the evidence that Valentine bears no ill-will and has no reason to deceive the Joestars, Johnny cannot forgive him for killing Gyro.<br />
<br />
Valentine also helps [[Joseph Joestar]] confirm the reason why the two versions of him can co-exist right next to each other: as both of them are from the same timeline and are not alternate/parallel versions of the other, they are safe from the menger sponge effect.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Valentine's role is discovered by Heaven DIO. He reveals his reason for betrayal, following the path of true justice, even it means sacrificing his life for the sake of his country. With nowhere to run, Valentine boldly attacks DIO, but is ultimately defeated by [[The World Over Heaven]], with all versions of him in every universe wiped from reality along with D4C.<br />
<br />
Due to Valentine's erasure from the timelines, the ending of ''Steel Ball Run'' is altered. In the new timeline, Gyro is alive to fight THE WORLD Diego alongside Johnny.<br />
<br />
====[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven Tournament|Tournament]]====<br />
He is paired with [[Lisa Lisa]] in the ''Eyes of Heaven'' Tournament, but was eliminated in the preliminaries by [[Wamuu]] and [[N'Doul]].<br />

===Unknown Universe===<br />
[[File:Funny Valentine and D4C (Jorge Joestar).jpg|thumb|left]]<br />
[[File:Jorge 14-30.jpg|thumb|right]]<br />
Funny Valentine is a secondary character in the light novel ''JORGE JOESTAR''. A version of him exists in an unknown universe, in between the 2nd and 37th universes. In the novel, the original Funny Valentine from ''[[Steel Ball Run]]'' lives in the second universe. Like his original counterpart, this Funny wields [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]] as his Stand. At some point, Funny meets {{JJ|Dio Brando|t=2}} and becomes his minion.<br />
<br />
When [[Jorge Joestar (Joji)|Jorge Joestar]]'s group arrives at London, Funny greets {{JJ|Enrico Pucci|t=2}}{{Universe|37|Enrico Pucci}}. Funny reveals that Manhattan Island is the final 'Rhinoceros Beetle'. Funny gives Pucci hints about the [[DIO's Diary|fourteen words]], and with his help, Pucci assumes that the two 'Singularities' are his connection with himself. Pucci knows Funny Valentine well in his own universe, but not this version of Funny from another universe, thus creating a 'Spiral Staircase'. Finally, Funny introduces them to the 'Secret Emperor', Dio.<ref name="JORGE14">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 14}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-21.jpg|thumb|right|Teleporting Jorge]]<br />
Before Dio starts fighting {{JJ|Kars|t=2}}, Funny takes off Dio's cape and then flings it around Jorge. Before it could cover him, [[Lisa Lisa]] punches Funny's cheek with the [[Ripple]]. However, the cape falls onto Jorge anyways and he is teleported to a parallel world along with Funny. Funny's face is momentarily swollen but Jorge notices that he quickly recovers as he swaps himself with a parallel world version.<br />
<br />
====Parallel Worlds====<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-23.jpg|thumb|left|Multiple Funnys]]<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-24.jpg|thumb|right|Holy Scriptures]]<br />
In the middle of a red desert, Jorge sees a car headed toward him with another 'Funny Valentine' driving it. After getting an explanation of Funny's Stand, Jorge sees many cars racing across the desert. The 'Funny' that was in the car tells Jorge that it's the second stage of the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]], taking place in {{W|Monument Valley}}. He's ordered his men to retrieve nine volumes of the Holy Scriptures. Jorge mentions that one of his ancestors was in the Steel Ball Run, but it was a horse race. 'Funny' responds that the race can change in each world, as some worlds have races with planes and blimps instead. <br />
<br />
Jorge finally understands the meaning of the 'Spiral Staircase'. As the universe loops, lives would be reincarnated but their identities wouldn't be the same. Pucci's [[Made in Heaven]] was used to reach the next universe, attempting to connect history and create a loop, but instead what he created is a spiral staircase of different universes. 'Funny' mentions that Dio decided to punish Pucci for this sin, and thus he can no longer return to any universe due to [[Gold Experience Requiem]]. He changes the subject to mention that in Jorge's universe, the competitors of the race gathered nine Holy Grails, and {{JJ|Johnny Joestar|t=2}} played a major role but had to drop out along the way.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-29.jpg|thumb|right|Parallel Funny killed by Parallel Kars]]<br />
Not caring about the race, Jorge asks why he was brought to this world. 'Funny' reveals that the two 'Singularities' are the body of the [[Saint's Corpse|holy man]] and Jorge Joestar. Jorge questions whether he should trust what 'Funny' is saying, but 'Funny' tells him to just have faith in himself. He opens the car, lets Jorge get in, and then the other Funny starts driving them away. Jorge sees a massive cloud headed towards them from behind, which Funny reveals is Kars from this parallel world. In order to conquer Kars, Funny had fought Kars numerous times in different parallel worlds, trying to find a way to seal Kars or send him away. Kars easily tosses this world's 'Funny' aside while the other Funny starts driving faster. Their car crashes and half of Funny's head gets torn off.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-39.jpg|thumb|left|Fighting Kars]]<br />
Back in the original world at {{W|Piccadilly Circus}} in London, Jorge sees that Funny is somehow still alive. At Dio's cue, Funny runs toward the place where [[The Funniest Valentine]] is about to land and then claps his hands as The Funniest falls into his arms. The Funniest vanishes and then Funny leaps toward Kars. With assistance from Dio's [[The World]] positioning Funny in place, Funny claps his hands on the Pillar Man. However, as time resumes, Kars quickly contorts his body to avoid the clap. Dio continues trying to stop time as Funny attempts to trap Kars between his palms but Kars would rapidly contort his body as soon as time resumes. In the moment that Kars smirks stating that he has figured out Dio's Stand, Funny finally succeeds in teleporting him to a parallel world. Jorge notices The Funniest's hands sticking out of Funny's hands to extend his reach, revealing that The Funniest has the same Stand as Funny, D4C.<br />
<br />
====Final Battle====<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-49.jpg|thumb|right|Explaining The Passion]]<br />
Jorge finds himself in {{W|Manhattan Island}} in The Funniest's parallel world. He meets with Funny, learning that the Funny in Piccadilly Circus was a fake parallel world version and the actual one that Jorge met with Dio was waiting here for Jorge. Funny notes that since Jorge is a singularity, he is the key to defeating Dio's Stand [[The Passion]] which could see the future, and that Kars has realized this. Funny then teleports Jorge to a parallel [[Morioh]], where Kars is.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-61.jpg|thumb|left|Group of parallel Funnys destroyed]]<br />
Traveling back in time one hour due to [[Bites the Dust]], Jorge and Kars arrive at Piccadilly Circus again with Funny about to teleport Kars again, but this time Jorge knows what would happen. Jorge yells out to Kars that Funny will clap twice, allowing Kars to instantly react to both claps. Kars sends Funny flying away with a punch but Dio unleashes the next part of his plan. Funny finds a parallel version of Dio and nine parallel versions of The Funniests who could use D4C and brings them back with him, whereas The Funniest brings nine parallel versions of Funny with D4C from his world. The parallel Dio grabs Kars from behind him, as the group of eighteen parallel Valentines surround Kars. 36 hands clap down on Kars and he vanishes once more along with the other Dio. Meanwhile, the group of Funnys collides with the group of The Funniests and they disintegrate into {{W|Menger sponge|Menger sponges}}.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-118.jpg|thumb|right|Valentine learns his lesson]]<br />
As Dio starts speeding up time, Funny and The Funniest discover that Dio is headed for the past beyond the future. They reveal that the Valentines have two duties as leaders of the United States. Their first is to intervene in the Steel Ball Run race and their second is to protect the secret held underground at {{W|Trinity Church (Manhattan)|Trinity Church}}, the [[Saint's Corpse]]. The corpse was gathered by their ancestor, the original Funny Valentine from the 2nd universe during the first Steel Ball Run. They realize now that the corpse of the "holy man" was actually just the body parts of Dio, separated from his fight with Kars. Funny calls his wife {{JJ|Scarlet Valentine|Scarlet}} who verifies that the Trinity Church in their universe does not have the Saint's Corpse.<br />
<br />
They arrive at Trinity Church in the second universe, where Funny leads them to the secret underground facility. Funny assists Jorge in the battle against Dio, residing in a parallel world within Jorge's stomach. From there, Funny sends out seven parallel world Kars, each having their own [[The World Ultimate]]. He gives Jorge a hatchet to cut off the supplemental head on the Saint's Corpse. When the battle is over, Funny goes back to his own universe. He states that he has learned his lesson and America will truly prosper due to its people, rather than from collecting artifacts.<ref name="JORGE16">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 16}}</ref><br />
<br />
===37th Universe===<br />
[[File:Funny Valentine and Singing in the Rain.jpg|thumb|right|Funny & Singing in the Rain]]<br />
An incarnation of Funny Valentine also lives in the 37th universe. This Funny Valentine is over eighty years old in 2012, with a son named [[Funnier Valentine]] and a grandson named [[The Funniest Valentine]]. Five people had been the president of the United States after him, as well as his grandson who is the current president. Despite being old, he still looks to be in good health. However, [[Koji Hirose]] reveals that he wears a wig and hides his wrinkles with {{W|Botulinum toxin|Botox}} and plastic surgery.<br />
<br />
The 37th universe's Funny wields a Stand named [[Singing in the Rain]], a frog-like Stand that can be ridden and adhere itself onto surfaces to bring its rider anywhere in spite of difficult circumstances.<ref name="JORGE6">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 6}}</ref><br />

When [[Morioh]] becomes a separate island and suddenly starts sailing toward America, the elderly Funny arrives on a helicopter with a message from his grandson's American army. He nearly loses his balance from his helicopter due to the wind, and slides on top of Morioh's barrier. Funny gives Koji a message intended for Morioh's [[Denta Shishimaru|mayor]], stating that if nothing changes then the American army will flip the island.<br />

Jorge and the others notice that Funny has trouble getting back onto his helicopter, but figure he'll be fine since they see that he has a Stand.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jorge 16-20.jpg|thumb|left|Funny's second message]]<br />
The American Air Force starts dropping missiles to break through the barrier surrounding Great Britain, inside the stomach of the giant [[Antonio Torres|Antonio]]. Jorge sees the elderly Funny walking across the surface of the barrier with Singing in the Rain. He shows them a large piece of paper with only the word "COURAGE" written on it.<br />
<br />
When Dio uses [[Made in Heaven Ultimate Requiem]], the elderly Funny Valentine had been clinging so closely to the giant Antonio's stomach with his Stand that he exposed his flesh to 36 deaths and births of the universe. Jorge wonders what that would have felt like. In the end, The Funniest returns to America with his helicopter, presumably taking his grandfather with him.<ref name="JORGE16"/><br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*The concept for Valentine's character derives from Araki's interest in a fighting President, after watching the movie ''{{W|Independence Day (1996 film)|Independence Day}}''.<ref>{{IN|Nekoi Tsubaki (12/29/2006)}}</ref><br />
*Funny Valentine demonstrates the ability to pierce and {{W|shotgunning|shotgun}} a can of beer; much like [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] during his introduction in ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]''.<br />
*Valentine's catchphrase ''Dojyaaa~~n!'' means ''Tada!'' in Japanese.<br />
*The scene during which Funny receives his dead father's handkerchief appears to reference the 1994 film ''{{W|Pulp Fiction}}''. In the movie, a young Butch and his mother are visited by Vietnam veteran Captain Koons, who fought with Butch's father. Butch's father was captured and held in a POW camp and did everything in his power to hide a gold watch (a family heirloom and symbol of patriotism) from his captors until he died of dysentery. Some of the panels in the manga were seemingly modeled after the same scene in the movie.<br />
*Valentine's Japanese voice actor in the [[Bandai Namco]] games, Yasuyuki Kase, would later go on to also voice [[Mikitaka Hazekura]] in [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable|Part 4 TV Anime]].<br />
*In the story, Funny Valentine is stated as being the 23rd President of the United States, a rank which was occupied by {{W|Benjamin Harrison}} in reality.<br />

==Personality==<br />
{{quote|We Italian families have stronger bond than people. Because we have that pride we can carry on!|Caesar Zeppeli, {{Ch2|Chapter 63}}}}<br />
Caesar Zeppeli is a hot-blooded but focused man, dedicated to the fight against the [[Pillar Men]].<br />
<br />
When he was young, Caesar and his siblings were seemingly abandoned by his [[Mario Zeppeli|father]], making him a bitter and extremely violent delinquent. When he was saved by his father from the Pillar Men's trap at the cost of his life, Caesar changes his hate into great pride in his family name.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 89}}</ref><br />
[[File:Caesar & family.png|thumb|211x211px|Caesar reminisces the Zeppeli Family's deeds]]<br />
Caesar is introduced as an arrogant Ripple User looking down on [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph Joestar's]] sub-par Ripple ability<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 63}}</ref> and missing no occasion to ridicule him and antagonize him in general. However, he reveals himself to be an honorable man, taking pride in his family's tradition of battling evil as well as wishing to avenge the death of his friend, [[Mark]], at the hands of the Pillar Men.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 66}}</ref> When Joseph reveals himself to be an honorable individual as well, their relationship considerably improves. In general, Caesar is respectful to his elders and superiors, most notably his master [[Lisa Lisa]]. When it comes to his peers, while he maintains at best shallow relations with those around him, when he truly cares for someone, it is true love, best evidenced by his relationship with Joseph (and pointed it by [[Messina]]).<br />
[[File:Caesar uppercut.png|left|thumb|263x263px|Punching JoJo after he dismisses the heritage of their respective lineages]]<br />
Caesar's other defining trait in his short-tempered personality. He is quick to jump to a fight, even though he knows it is detrimental. Taking great pride in his family name, when Joseph told him that he didn't care about that, Caesar hit him without thinking.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 88}}</ref> That character flaw proved fatal when he made the mistake of rushing to [[Wamuu|Wamuu's]] lair alone and then try to finish him off up close.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 94}}</ref> Having great determination, Caesar kept on fighting despite being fatally wounded and made a loud eulogy of the human spirit just before dying.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 92}}</ref> Caesar is nonetheless a very serious person most of the time, zealously fighting the Pillar Men and is exasperated by Joseph's antics.<br />
<br />
Caesar is a ladies' man and has a habit of flirting with beautiful women whenever he can, invoking deeply romantic gestures. With his charm and charisma, as well as his own words, he is able to steal the kisses of multiple women with some to minimal interaction beforehand. It is stated that if he sees a lonely girl, he thinks he has to go up to her. It is also stated that he lies to the girls he woos but doesn't consider it is wrong.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|Chapter 73}} tailpiece</ref> The only exception to this treatment is Lisa Lisa, despite her noteworthy beauty. She is Caesar's Ripple instructor, whom he claims to respect as much as his own mother.<br />
<br />
According to [[JoJo6251]], Caesar dislikes unsophisticated, irresponsible people, and bugs. He also has "Mamma Mia!" as his catchphrase.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
<br />
===Physical Ability===<br />
As a skillfully trained individual, Caesar possesses very high physical abilities: along with a vast amount of physical strength and proficiency in hand to hand combat, Caesar has demonstrated an amazing sense of balance, even being able to perform the "seated jump" that his grandfather previously performed.<br />
<br />
Caesar also boasts a high level of endurance far surpassing normal humans, being able to survive for a few days without food, and taking high amounts of physical punishment while still being able to get up and continue fighting. His endurance was best demonstrated when even after receiving [[Wamuu]]'s Divine Sandstorm head on, he still managed to get up and continue fighting for a short amount of time, even managing to produce a Ripple after losing huge amounts of blood. <br />
<br />
Caesar also has high precision, managing to catch a Ripple enhanced spaghetti thrown by Joseph using the holes in the tortiglioni he was eating.<br />

|AImage = The Zeppeli.gif<br />
|Desc = Those who have trained in Sendō gain strong legs and knees. Like his grandfather, Caesar is capable of jumping extremely high from a sitting position and then landing on his feet.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===[[Ripple]]===<br />
Being a natural born Ripple user through his grandfather's bloodline, Caesar was able to project its power from an early age, though it was only under [[Lisa Lisa]]'s guidance that he learned how to properly use it. Caesar is able to use more advanced techniques such as focusing the Ripple in his fingertips, and much like Joseph can channel the Ripple through objects, such as weapons, food, or even living beings. In one particular instance, he put a young woman into hypnosis by charging Ripple through her via a kiss.<br />
<br />
The base for most of his attacks relies on his gloves, which are loaded with a special soap-like substance. Because of this, he is able to release bubbles from his hands at any time and fuse them with the Ripple to create deadly projectiles.<br />
<br />
====Attacks====<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Ripple Hypnosis<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 63}} / {{Ep|Episode 14}}<br />
|AImage = CaesarRippleHypnosis.gif<br />
|Desc = Caesar can hypnotize people and animals by using the Ripple on them. The process can involve a kiss or simply touching one's head with their hands. The hypnotized person will act according to his demands and be stronger than an ordinary being, being imbued with the Ripple. Caesar uses it on a woman so she could fight Joseph.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Bubble Launcher<br />
|JPN = シャボンランチャー<br />
|Romaji = Shabon Ranchā<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 63}} / {{Ep|Episode 14}}<br />
|AImage = BubbleLauncher.gif<br />
|Desc = Caesar fires out a barrage of bubbles from their gloves, each coated in the Ripple. This increases the density of the bubbles and allows them to hit objects with a greater impact. When hit by the barrage, a grown man would be completely blown away.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Bubble Barrier<br />
|JPN = シャボンバリアー<br />
|Romaji = Shabon Bariā<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 63}} / {{Ep|Episode 14}}<br />
|AImage = BubbleBarrier.gif<br />
|Desc = Sometimes used in conjunction with Bubble Launcher; the difference is that instead of multiple being used in a barrage, Caesar conjures a single gigantic bubble capable of absorbing and trapping its target.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Sticking Ripple & Repelling Ripple<br />
|JPN = くっつく波紋とはじく波紋<br />
|Romaji = Kuttsuku Hamon to Hajiku Hamon<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 74}} / {{Ep|Episode 16}}<br />
|AImage = CaesarStickingRipple.gif<br />
|Desc = Caesar is able to use the Ripple as a repellent and to adhere either himself or objects to other objects and liquids. Joseph and Caesar manage to climb a pillar covered in oil with adhesion, and Caesar uses it to deflect a high pressured oil jet. Later, Caesar and Joseph force [[Esidisi]] out of [[Suzi Q]]'s body. Joseph sends the positive repellent ripple into various points across Suzi Q's body while Caesar focuses attractant negative ripple on only her heart, forcing Esidisi to leave after he can't handle it anymore.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Bubble Cutter<br />
|JPN = シャボン・カッター<br />
|Romaji = Shabon Kattā<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 90}} / {{Ep|Episode 20}}<br />
|AImage = BubbleCutter.gif<br />
|Desc = Based on his grandfather's Ripple Cutter, this technique is a direct improvement on the Bubble Launcher, and creates bubbles with the ability to slice. Unlike the original attack, the bubbles spin at high speed and use centrifugal force, but are able to stay intact due to the Ripple. This causes them to form shapes much like saucers with a small blade-like ring surrounding each bubble. These bubbles move at a higher velocity and have higher tractability, allowing the user to fire them in any direction with ease.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Bubble Cutter Gliding<br />
|JPN = シャボンカッター{{Ruby|グライディン|滑走}}<br />
|Romaji = Shabon Kattā Guraidin<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 91}} / {{Ep|Episode 20}}<br />
|AImage = BubbleCutterGliding.gif<br />
|Desc = A more versatile version of Bubble Cutter, Caesar sacrifices the quantity of the attack, and focuses on effectiveness. By launching a few bubbles, he is able to aim them much like homing projectiles. They are able to go around objects and have a higher chance of hitting the opponent.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Bubble Lenses<br />
|JPN = シャボン・レンズ<br />
|Romaji = Shabon Renzu<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 91}} / {{Ep|Episode 20}}<br />
|AImage = BubbleLenses.gif<br />
|Desc = Caesar produces Ripple-infused bubbles that have the ability to refract light and focus them into beams, much like a magnifying glass. After launching them, the bubbles become stationary and any light source passing through will cause a domino effect, connecting the bubbles together and eventually shooting multiple beams at their target.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:LittleCaesar%27s.PNG|thumb|Caesar as a boy, with his family]]<br />
Caesar Zeppeli was born on May 13, 1918 in Genoa, Italy.<ref name=":0" /> As a child, Caesar idolized his father, [[Mario Zeppeli]]. When he was 10, however, his father left him and his siblings with no explanation or warning. As a result, Caesar grew to hate his father, thinking he was out living a new and carefree life without them. His mother was missing years prior for unknown reasons, and relatives soon stole everything left from his now-orphaned family. Although the family's neighbours took care of Caesar's family, Caesar himself became a violent youth who had to be sent to the orphanage. Due to the poor state of orphanages in the 30's, it is said that his life in there was worse than prison, which only emphasized his delinquent ways. He eventually ran away and became a homeless vagrant sleeping in the streets. Caesar made a name for himself committing every crime imaginable short of murder, and was widely feared. He used a wrench to start all his fights and quickly finished them. Back then, Caesar wasn't aware that his [[Ripple]] energy had fully awakened, and that he was using it in his battles.<br />
<br />
When he was 16, Caesar spotted his father walking in Rome; he tailed him with the intention of killing him, going through a secret passage under the Colosseum that leads to the [[Pillar Men]]. Caesar saw a jewel in the wall they'd been encased in. Not knowing that it was part of a trap set up by [[Wamuu]], he accidentally activated it, but his father pushed him out of the way before he could be killed himself. Having sacrificed himself despite not recognizing his own son, Caesar regained his respect toward his father and swore revenge on the Pillar Men.<br />
<br />
Sometime after the event, Caesar finds [[Lisa Lisa]] in Venice at the dying request of his father. He trains with her to use the art of the Ripple but apparently has learned little more than the fundamentals, since he still has to go through the final part of the Ripple training in order to master it fully, alongside Joseph. At one point, Caesar travels to Germany and befriends [[Mark]] a German soldier. He notably helps him in getting a girlfriend.<br />
<br />
===[[Battle Tendency]]===<br />
[[File:CaesarBubble.png|thumb|left|200px|Caesar using his Bubble Launcher]]<br />
Caesar meets Joseph in Rome at a restaurant. While he's trying to woo, Joseph is disgusted by Caesar's romantic attitude and decide to play a prank by flinching spaghetti at the Italian. However, Caesar blocks the spaghetti with the three maccheroni stuck on his fork and sends it back at Joseph's glass. At the Toritone fountain, Caesar meets with Joseph and Speedwagon and expresses all the disdain he has for the [[Joestar Family]], which angers Joseph. Caesar tells Joseph that he couldn't even beat a random woman that Caesar seduces and kiss. The woman then suddenly overpowers Joseph and throws him into the fountain thanks to the Ripple hypnosis. In there, Caesar shows his special technique, the Bubble Launcher. Sending a flurry of Ripple-infused bubbles at Joseph, Caesar traps his foe inside of a bubble. However, when Caesar releases the woman by kissing her again, a pigeon suddenly comes out of her mouth into his, knocking him into the fountain too. The fight ends in a draw but the two hate each other more.[[File:WamuuCaesar.png|thumb|200px|Caesar against [[Wamuu]]]]<br />
While waiting for the [[Nazis]] to bring them to the [[Pillar Men]], Caesar and Joseph decide to play poker. However, both of them cheat and another fight erupts. It is thankfully interrupted when the soldier [[Mark]], one of Caesar's friends, arrives. Mark then drives the three to the [[Colosseum]]. When they arrive, they are horrified to find that all the soldiers that were there had been killed. One of the Pillar Men, [[Wamuu]], casually walks through Mark and absorbs half of his body and Caesar must kill him with the Ripple as a mercy. Enraged at his friend's death, Caesar attacks the Pillar Men, but Wamuu's headgear renders his 'Bubble Launcher' useless and he is injured in the face. Caesar attacks again, swearing to avenge his friend, but the Pillar Men mock his meaningless determination and Wamuu fingers him in the throat, blocking his breathing and taking him out. Joseph then steps in and while he manages to wound Wamuu, the Pillar Men uses his Divine Sandstorm to heavily wound Joseph. In order to protect Caesar and Speedwagon from Wamuu, Joseph feigns cowardice to lead him away. Caesar eventually finds Joseph and witnesses him bluffing Wamuu and [[Esidisi]] into leaving and having the [[Wedding Ring of Death|Wedding Rings]] implanted inside him. Finding newfound respect for Joseph, Caesar decides to help him get stronger in order to defeat the Pillar Men. Afterward, Caesar tells Joseph to hold a glass of water upside down with the Ripple, demonstrating his lack of training.<br />
[[File:WamuuAntidoteStolen.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Caesar's last effort]]<br />
Caesar thus brings him to Venice to go meet his master. Lisa Lisa appears to them in the canals of Venice and tests Joseph before putting on a Ripple-breathing mask on him. Lisa Lisa then brings the two to [[Air Supplena Island]] and immediately forces them to tackle '[[Air Supplena Island#Pillar|Hell Climb Pillar]]', a pillar covered with oil that requires expert control of the Ripple to climb. Caesar is able to climb the tower by concentrating the Ripple on his fingertips but expresses concern for Joseph, who is less experienced than him. Near the top, Joseph inadvertently activates a powerful jet of oil that is so powerful it can cut clean through a pen. Caesar nonetheless passes through by also concentrating his Ripple in the body parts the jet will touch to protect himself. When Joseph nearly reaches the peak but slips, Caesar grabs his arm, saving him.<br />
<br />
After weeks of training, the two reached the final phase where Caesar had to defeat [[Messina]]. He manages to win after Messina admits defeat, saying that continuing the fight would result in either one or both of them dying and acknowledging how far Caesar has developed his abilities. Caesar checks on Joseph to see his progress, only to be dismayed when he finds him fighting Esidisi. Despite wanting to help his friend, Messina advises they head back to protect Lisa Lisa and the [[Red Stone of Aja]] since they were too far away to reach Joseph in time. When he returns, he finds out Esidisi's remains have possessed [[Suzi Q]]. Worse, Esidisi has sent the Super Aja away in a package. Caesar and Joseph manage to save Suzie Q by using their combined Ripple to neutralize the damage to her body, while still forcing Esidisi out. Joseph and Caesar head to the postman's office and make a scene because they want the package that Esidisi sent back. However, [[Lisa Lisa]] still discovers that the package is headed for Switzerland and thus the four remaining Ripple User drive together there. However, the package is intercepted by the [[Nazis]], who invite the group to their chalet. [[Kars]] infiltrates the chalet and almost steals the Super Aja but Joseph manages to retrieve it. Caesar helps Joseph get out of a cliff by using stalactites as a makeshift rope for his partner.<br />
[[File:LastHamon.png|thumb|200px|The Final Ripple]]<br />
The group subsequently singles out an abandoned hotel that must be Kars' lair. During the pursuit of [[Kars]], Caesar goes ahead of the rest of the group after having an argument with Joseph about waiting any longer to attack. As he approaches the hotel, Caesar then sees a nearly invisible man stepping out of the building. When Messina appears, the invisible man is revealed to be Wamuu, cuts Messina's arm and drags him into the hotel. Wamuu reappears, expecting a good fight, but Caesar surpasses his expectation by unveiling a technique: the Bubble Cutter. Inspired by [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]]'s Wine Cutter technique, Caesar makes his bubbles spin to turn them into floating buzzsaw and the wind Wamuu generates draws them toward him automatically. Wounding Wamuu, Caesar takes the advantage. Wamuu tries to run inside but Caesar cuts his leg and breaks his balance with gliding bubbles. Seizing the opportunity, Caesar jumps to deal a coup-de-grâce but Wamuu lets himself fall backward to complete a flip and kicks Caesar to propel himself back in the hotel. Caesar steps into the main hall of the hotel where Wamuu confronts him. However, Caesar then reveals that his bubbles are now acting like lenses refracting the sunlight inside of the hall. Wamuu is exposed to sunlight and burns, but when Caesar closes in for his final attack, his shadow is taken advantage of by Wamuu to hide from the sunlight, and so he is dealt a deathblow by the Divine Sandstorm. Despite losing most of his blood and cannot generate any more Ripple for attacks, he rips off Wamuu's lip piercing, which holds the antidote for Joseph's remaining wedding ring. Falling down the stairs into a puddle of his own blood, he encases it - along with his headband - in a Ripple bubble made of his blood and last reserves of Ripple energy for Joseph to take before his body is crushed by a cross-shaped rock.<br />
<br />
===Legacy===<br />
In the aftermath of the battle, Wamuu admits that Caesar was the most powerful opponent he had ever faced. His death was capable of making the stoic Lisa Lisa break down in tears.<br />
<br />
Before Joseph's chariot battle with Wamuu, he asks Caesar to give him strength as he dons his headband. During the battle's climax, Joseph sets the headband ablaze as he screams for Caesar's aid once more, using it in conjunction with his own bottle of oil to defeat Wamuu's Final Mode: Atmospheric Rift and win.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
*[[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]]: Caesar believes the bonds between an Italian family such as the Zeppelis are stronger than most people. According to him, because of their pride, Zeppelis can handle their problems on their own and have the will to pull through. When he first meets Joseph, he says that it was because Jonathan needed so much help to fight his own battle, that Will ended up [[Dio Brando|dying because of it]].<br />
*[[Mario Zeppeli]]: Caesar initially thought of his father as the greatest carpenter in Naples and considered him as the incarnation of an ideal man. After Mario suddenly left him and his siblings when they were children, Caesar had hated his father. As he grew up, he was determined to kill his dad and eventually found Mario in Rome. However, Caesar activates Wamuu's trap by touching a gem on the wall. Mario saves Caesar's life at the cost of his own by pushing Caesar out of the way. Since then, Caesar's hatred for his father disappeared and was instead replaced with a desire for revenge against the Pillar Men.<br />
*Brothers: Though not much is known about them, we can infer the 3 were younger than him and looked up to Caesar after their orphanage.<br />
<br />
===Friends===<br />
[[File:Joseph&CaesarRivalry.jpg|thumb|200px|Joseph and Caesar's rivalry]]<br />
<br />
*[[Joseph Joestar]]: Due to the rough history behind [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]]'s death and Joseph's lack of skill - along with his overall personality - the two did not get along at all at first. Caesar found Joseph to be a delinquent who would usually fool around at all the wrong times. However, after Joseph received the wedding rings from the Pillar Men after saving Speedwagon and Caesar, his respect for Joseph grew. Upon completing the Ripple Training together, Caesar found Joseph to be both a reliable ally and a good friend. When he fought against Wamuu, even though he was dying from being hit by the Divine Sandstorm attack, he still used the last bit of his strength and Ripple to rip the lip ring containing the antidote for Joseph's remaining wedding ring and placed it in a Ripple bubble made from his own blood to give to him. When Joseph realized Caesar had died, he immediately broke down crying his friend's name in agony. He immediately sought revenge against the Pillar Men for his defeat.<br />
*[[Lisa Lisa]]: Presumably having met after the death of Mario Zeppeli, she is introduced as Caesar's mentor in the [[Ripple]]. As such, Caesar respects her, having asked for her help to train Joseph in the proper usage of the ripple. He has stated he looks at her as his own mother and she is perhaps one of the few beautiful women he has never flirted with, showing great reverence for her as a person. Joseph even states that Caesar revered her as a goddess. When he died, Lisa Lisa tried to stay calm and pretended to be indifferent, but later broke down showing how much she cared for him as a student and friend. Despite their closeness, she likely never told Caesar she is Joseph's mother.<br />
*[[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]]: After beginning his training of the Ripple, Caesar devoted his life to revenge against the ones who killed his father. Having been friends with his grandfather, Speedwagon informed Caesar of the events that led to Will Zeppeli's death. Other than this, their relationship is unknown aside from being acquaintances in the fight against the Pillar Men. However, it is possible that the hat Caesar is seen wearing during his first appearance was the same hat Speedwagon inherited from Will after he died.<br />
*[[Messina]]: While not shown to be particularly close, Caesar showed Messina a certain level of respect as a fellow Ripple warrior and teacher under Lisa Lisa. After being defeated during Caesar's final test, Messina admitted that he had surpassed him.<br />
<br />
[[File:MarkDeath.png|220px|thumb|Caesar upset from Mark's death]]<br />
<br />
*[[Mark]]: Mark was Caesar's Nazi friend during the war, driving Caesar to the Roman Colosseum to the excavation site of the Pillar Men's location. When half of Mark is promptly eaten by the Pillar Men, Caesar uses the Ripple on his heart in order to ease his pain and his last moments. Caesar is also shown to be very much enraged when he sees that Mark wanted to return home to see his fiance, but was robbed of that chance with his death.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Wamuu]]: As one of the Pillar Men that killed his father along with the Pillar Man who killed his friend Mark, Caesar greatly hated Wamuu. In the end, Wamuu killed Caesar but stated that Caesar had earned his respect and that he would've done better against Kars.<br />
*[[Kars]]: As the man who created the stone masks, Kars is essentially responsible for the deaths of Caesar's [[Mario Zeppeli|father]], [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli|grandfather]], and [[Will's Father|great-grandfather]]. Caesar despised him even more than the other Pillar Men.<br />
*[[Esidisi]]: While Caesar wasn't as enthusiastic about killing Esidisi as he was Kars or Wamuu, Caesar despised him all the same. Caesar would later destroy him with help from Joseph, and showed disgust for Esidisi taking over Suzi Q's body.<br />
<br />
===Others===<br />
<br />
*[[Jonathan Joestar]]: Caesar held a great grudge against Jonathan and blames him for his grandfather's death. However, he has still shown respect towards him on some cases.<br />

===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)]]===<br />
Caesar is not playable in ''Heritage for the Future'', however when Young Joseph ("JOJO") does one of his special attacks, instead of whispering Lisa Lisa's name (who appears on ''Part 3'' Joseph's special move), he screams out Caesar's name and pictures of Caesar appear in the background, along with several manga moments from ''Part 2'', as Young Joseph blasts the opponent with a Ripple Overdrive.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|All-Star Battle (PS3)]]===<br />
[[File:Caesar_ASB.jpg|thumb|127px|right]]<br />
Caesar makes his first playable appearance in the ''PS3'' title. He was confirmed along with Esidisi. As a Ripple-user character (along with Jonathan Joestar, Will A. Zeppeli, Joseph [Both Parts 2 and 3], and Lisa Lisa), Caesar can recharge his Heart Heat Gauge through "'''Ripple Breath'''" by holding down the Style button, performing a famous JoJo pose, as well as deliver enhanced versions of skills if Style is inputted in place of normal attack buttons. Caesar has 950 HP.<br />
<br />
Caesar possesses two alternate costumes, the first being his debut attire (wearing Will Zeppeli's hat) and the second one being his outfit during his first battle against Wamuu (jacket-less and wearing a top).<br />
<br />
During a fight, Caesar can use several different attacks that were featured in ''Battle Tendency''.<br />
<br />
{{Movelist|name=Style/Specials/Etc<br />
|head1=Ripple Breathing<br />
|move1={{ASBInput|S}} {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc1=Caesar breathes out to produce the Ripple, charging his Heart Heat Gauge.<br />
|head2='''Seated Jump'''<br />
|move2={{ASBInput|2}} + {{ASBInput|7}}/{{ASBInput|8}}/{{ASBInput|9}} {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc2=Caesar leaps high into the air with his knees alone. This skill can be used to extend the time for air-based skills or simply evade attacks.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Movelist|name=Special Moves<br />
|head1='''Bubble Launcher'''<br />
|move1={{ASBInput|2}}{{ASBInput|3}}{{ASBInput|6}} + {{ASBInput|L}} {{Input|on ground|in air ok}}<br />
|desc1=Caesar quickly unleashes a small group of projectile bubbles that home in on the opponent. This move can be used in the air. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)<br />
|head2='''Bubble Cutter'''<br />
|move2={{ASBInput|2}}{{ASBInput|3}}{{ASBInput|6}} + {{ASBInput|M}}/{{ASBInput|S}} (hold to delay launch) {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc2=Caesar summons disc-shaped bubbles that he sends at the opponent in a straight line. As long as the inputted attack button is held, the Bubble Cutters will continue surrounding Caesar, but he cannot move until he unleashes the attack. If Ripple-enhanced, the number of Cutters and the ability's damage is increased. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)<br />
|head3='''Bubble Cutter Gliding'''<br />
|move3={{ASBInput|2}}{{ASBInput|3}}{{ASBInput|6}} + {{ASBInput|H}} (hold to delay launch) {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc3=Similar to Bubble Cutter, except Caesar launches the projectiles at a low angle. This attack has slight homing capabilities and is capable of hitting Wamuu while his Wind Protector is active. Oddly enough, the low-flying Cutters still hit as a High attack and can be blocked without the opponent needing to crouch. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)<br />
|head4='''Bubble Lens'''<br />
|move4={{ASBInput|2}}{{ASBInput|1}}{{ASBInput|4}} + {{ASBInput|L}}/{{ASBInput|M}}/{{ASBInput|H}}/{{ASBInput|S}} {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc4= Caesar summons the Bubble Cutters, but does not launch them at the opponent. Instead, after a delay, the Cutters will reflect solar rays in the form of lasers before popping. (Comboable)<br />
|head5='''One-Fisted Uppercut'''<br />
|move5={{ASBInput|6}}{{ASBInput|2}}{{ASBInput|3}} + {{ASBInput|L}}/{{ASBInput|M}}/{{ASBInput|H}}/{{ASBInput|S}} {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc5=Caesar sends a pulse of the Ripple into his opponent through an uppercut, sending them flying. This move doubles as an anti-air (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel). If Ripple-enhanced, Caesar will deal significantly less damage, but the opponent will not fly away and is instead left stunned and vulnerable. (Comboable)<br />
|head6='''Ripple Kick'''<br />
|move6={{ASBInput|4}}{{ASBInput|6}} + {{ASBInput|L}}/{{ASBInput|M}}/{{ASBInput|H}}/{{ASBInput|S}} {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc6=Caesar leaps forward in a flying horizontal kick, and can only be interrupted by Throws and HHA/GHA. If Ripple-enhanced, the amount of time in which Caesar is semi-invincible is increased. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)<br />
|head7='''Cat Stance'''<br />
|move7={{ASBInput|4}}{{ASBInput|2}}{{ASBInput|3}} + {{ASBInput|L}}/{{ASBInput|M}}/{{ASBInput|H}}/{{ASBInput|S}} {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc7=Caesar assumes a special stance for a short instance, and if attacked with a non-Throw/HHA/GHA at that moment, he will automatically perform a Stylish Dodge without consuming the Guard Gauge. If Ripple-enhanced, the stance itself lasts slightly longer.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Movelist|name=Throw<br />
|head1='''Ripple Spark'''<br />
|move1=2 ATK buttons at close range or {{ASBInput|T}} {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc1=Caesar places both of his hands on his opponent's torso, before sending them flying with a blast of Ripple.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Movelist|name=Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack<br />
|head1='''Bubble Barrier'''<br />
|move1={{ASBInput|2}}{{ASBInput|3}}{{ASBInput|6}} + 2 ATK Buttons {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc1=Caesar summons a small number of bubbles that float a short distance. If they hit the opponent, Caesar will create much more as they all combine to trap the opponent in a large Ripple Bubble, immobilizing them. The bubble then explodes with a Ripple surge, dealing damage (similar to what he did to Joseph when they first meet in ''Part 2'').<br />
|head2='''Burn Black!'''<br />
|move2={{ASBInput|2}}{{ASBInput|3}}{{ASBInput|6}} + 3 ATK Buttons, or {{ASBInput|G}} {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc2=Caesar sends his Bubble Lenses flying at the opponent at high speed. If hit, the massive number of lenses quickly surround the opponent on all sides and begin to refract the light from the sun (regardless if it is daytime or not on the stage), firing multiple beams of light focused on the opponent. The total amount of solar lasers cause the opponent to burn and eventually explode (recreating Caesar's attacking of [[Wamuu]] during his final battle).<br />
}}<br />
<br />
When Retired using any skill that does not result in a hard knockdown or blow-back, Caesar will remove his headband and encase it in a bloody bubble as he slowly keels over on his knees (a reference to his final moments).<br />
<br />
Caesar naturally has a unique dialogue with every other character from Part 2, as well as Will Zeppeli; Caesar says he will make Zeppeli pay for what he did to his family's namesake, while Zeppeli himself is surprised to see such power emanating from the young man.<br />
<br />
Caesar also managed to win first place in his League Group in the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle League|All-Star Battle League]]'', beating Polnareff, Esidisi, and even Jotaro. He also made his way to the semi-finals matches, but ultimately lost to DIO.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Shooters|Stardust Shooters (ANDROID/IOS)]]===<br />
Caesar appears as one of the several characters who possess a Metal Striker in the game. During his FINISH move, Caesar shoots several ''Ripple Bubble Cutter'' into the defeated opponent.<br />
<br />
Also, Caesar's Level 2 ability allows his Metal Striker to drop a single Bubble each time he hits an enemy. During the opponent's turn, if an enemy hits the bubble, its Metal Striker loses a certain amount of Health Points.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)]]===<br />
[[File:Caesar_jojoeoh.jpg|thumb|right]]<br />
Caesar was one of the first characters confirmed for the game, alongside Joseph, [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]], [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]], [[Diego Brando|Diego]], and [[Rudol von Stroheim|Stroheim]]. Since the game recycles several animations and copies a large portion of the move set from ''All Star Battle'', his gameplay remains mostly the same: Utilizing his bubbles in an almost exclusively-ranged play style. <br />
<br />
As a Ripple User, Caesar has a '''Ripple Gauge''' that determines the strength of his attacks. Filling up the gauge will automatically empower his Normal and Powerful Attacks, and enhance/alter the properties of all his skills. It will also shorten the cooldown time on said skills. Using skills will drain a portion of the Ripple Gauge until there's an insufficient amount to use. <br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - Ripple Breathing''': Caesar performs a pose and Ripple Breathes, filling up the Ripple Gauge. He cannot move and is vulnerable to attacks while doing so.<br />
*'''Bubble Lens''': Caesar summons a Bubble Cutter, but does not launch it at opponents, instead of leaving it suspended as a trap. The Cutter will reflect solar rays in the form of lasers at opponents that get too close before popping. If Ripple-enhanced, the skill will execute quicker and Caesar will summon two Cutters.<br />
*'''Bubble Cutter'''/'''Bubble Cutter Gliding''': The attack unleashed is dependent on whether or not the activating button is held. If pressed Caesar summons five disc-shaped bubbles that he sends at an opponent with very slight homing capabilities. If held, the attack is similar to Bubble Cutter, except Caesar launches the projectiles at a low angle, and has better homing capabilities than Bubble Cutter. If Ripple-enhanced, Caesar will summon seven Cutters for both attacks.<br />
*'''Bubble Barrier''': Caesar leaps into the air and summons a large unblockable Ripple Bubble, immobilizing opponent caught and shocking them with Ripple surges before exploding. If Ripple-enhanced, the damage and range of the bubble is increased and it gains some homing capabilities.<br />
*'''EX - Bubble Cutter'''/'''Bubble Cutter Gliding''': Caesar recovers faster from both attacks, and both attacks have increased homing capabilities and remain for much longer at the cost of some speed.<br />
*'''EX - Bubble Barrier''': Caesar gains invincibility until the bubble is unleashed.<br />
<br />
=====JoJolities=====<br />
<br />
*'''Control them both inside your body at the same time!''': Caesar must completely fill his Ripple Gauge. (200 Points)<br />
*'''Gonna beat your ass back to the boonies!''': Caesar must connect "Bubble Barrier". (200 Points)<br />
*'''Right now, my mind is back in the slums!''': Caesar must perform a combo with at least 30 hits. Landing either of his DHAs will automatically achieve this. (300 Points)<br />
*'''Some of my bubbles can cleave the wind itself...''': Caesar must connect Ripple-enhanced "Bubble Cutter" 10 times. (500 Points)<br />
*'''Your defeat will be cold and cruel!''': Caesar must Retire an opponent with a Dual Heat Attack. (800 Points)<br />
<br />
=====Dual Heat Attacks=====<br />
<br />
*'''Solo - Burn black!''': It works the same as the one from ''All Star Battle'', though Caesar does not explain how the lenses reflect light due to the animation being sped up.<br />
*'''With Joseph - Dual Ripple!''': The two start off by attacking the opponent from opposite sides with an array of Ripple-infused bubbles from Caesar and a series of Ripple-charged punches and kicks from Joseph, before Joseph invites Caesar to initiate the Positive/Negative Overdrive they used on [[Suzi Q]] to save her from [[Esidisi]]'s control, attacking the enemy from both sides with said move and shocking them with extreme power. <br />
<br />
If Caesar is paired with Joseph and falls in battle before him, a special animation will play where they recreate the scene involving Caesar's final words and creation of the blood bubble (hommage of [[Chapter 92]] or [[Episode 20]], which pops in an anti-climactic fashion shortly after conception), along with Joseph's iconic "''CAESAR!!!''" scream as tears stream down his face.<br />
<br />
In the game's Story Mode, Caesar is encountered by Jotaro and Joseph along with his younger counter training at Air Supplena Island with the Ripple. Initially meeting the two with mistrust, Caesar and the others are soon attacked by Lisa Lisa and Rudol von Stroheim, who are affected by a strange phenomenon that Jotaro and Joseph encountered as with many others throughout their travels through time.<br />
<br />
After defeating the two, Lisa Lisa is left unconscious, while Stroheim escapes. While Caesar took his master inside to rest, but not before she's presented a Corpse Part to heal her affliction, the other three are soon attacked by [[Hol Horse]], another one of [[Dio Brando|DIO]]'s [[Agents of DIO|assassins]].<br />
<br />
In the Story Mode's credits, Caesar is shown fighting Esidisi and Wamuu alongside Joseph. It is unknown how his survival affected Parts 3 through 6.<br />
<br />
Unlike the previous game, his main color scheme is now based on his [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation|anime]] appearance.<br />
<br />
====[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven Tournament|Tournament]]====<br />
He is paired with [[Shigekiyo Yangu]] in the ''Eyes of Heaven'' tournament but was eliminated in the preliminaries by Joseph and [[Dio Brando]].<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Records|Diamond Records]] (Android/iOS)===<br />
Caesar appears in Diamond Records as both a playable character and an assist character. His playable character is based on his appearance in Battle Tendency, whereas his assist is based on his younger self seen in his flashback.<br />

Playable=<br />
{{DR|Name=Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli|Av=CaesarDR|Rarity=6|Type=Tactical<br />

Caesar's moveset in both game modes is comprised of various Ripple-based attacks inspired by the anime. As a ripple user, Caesar has an advantage over vampires, zombies, and pillar men. Unlike a majority of statues in the game, Caesar lacks an unlockable SP skill.<br />

<br />
*During ''Battle Tendency'''s original publication in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], fans complained of Caesar's existence as his grandfather, [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]], had stated that he did not marry or have a family. Will Zeppeli's line was fixed in the Tankoban version, with earlier editions including an apology from [[Araki]] himself.<ref>[http://blog.livedoor.jp/jojolab/archives/31526511.html ジョジョの奇妙な研究所 - あの時ツェペリさんはなんと語ったのか!?]</ref><br />

<br />
{{nihongo|'''Josuke Higashikata'''|東方 仗助|Higashikata Jōsuke}} is the main protagonist of the fourth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]'', and the fourth [[JoJo]] of the series. He is the illegitimate son of [[Joseph Joestar]] and [[Tomoko Higashikata]].<br />
<br />
Josuke is a biracial (half-Japanese and half-British) high school first-year residing in the town of [[Morioh]]. In the year 1999, he meets [[Jotaro Kujo]], who informs him that he is [[Joseph]]'s illegitimate son. After his [[Ryohei Higashikata|grandfather]] dies, Josuke takes it upon himself to protect his beloved town from malevolent [[Stand]] Users. <br />
<br />
Josuke is a Stand User that wields [[Crazy Diamond]], a Stand with the power to repair almost anything.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
{{quote|Excuse me... What did you say about my hair?! |Josuke Higashikata, {{Ch|Chapter 266}}}}<br />
[[File:JosukeRender.png|160px|frameless|left]]<br />
Josuke is a tall, young man of average build. His most prominent feature is his well-maintained {{w|Pompadour (hairstyle)|pompadour}}, styled after that of an [[Young Man in the Snow|unknown man]] who saved his life as a child.<ref name="C324">{{Ch|Chapter 324}}</ref> His pompadour has a tendency to become spiky with his mood, such as when he is irritated or angry.<br />
<br />
Josuke wears a dark, modified Japanese school uniform. His jacket conforms to his body, extending to the middle of his thigh, accompanied by a pair of wide-legged pants. He keeps his jacket unbuttoned and pinned aside, revealing a light undershirt with a short zipper on each side of his chest. He wears a small stud in each ear. <br />
<br />
Josuke wears a number of metallic/golden emblems. On the left side of his collar, he wears a modified anchor and on his right, a row of two small hearts. Pinning his open jacket to his chest on his right is a {{w|Peace symbols#The peace sign|peace sign}} (☮), and on the left is a heart (occasionally enclosing a palm, like on [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]]'s hat). He wears a gold band at both wrists over his sleeves (under more elaborate pieces in several illustrations).<br />

==Personality==<br />
{{quote|I'll protect my mother and this town. No matter what comes, I'll be the guardian in [[Ryohei Higashikata|Grandpa]]'s place.|Josuke Higashikata, {{Ch|Chapter 270}}}}<br />
[[File:Josuke_protecting_Morioh.png|thumb|Josuke swearing to protect [[Morioh]]|260x260px|alt=]]<br />
Josuke is a savvy, confident, and courageous teenager. Friendly and loyal, his amiable personality helps him make friends throughout the story.<br />
<br />
Josuke's primary trait is his overall kindness, which is reflected in his Stand, Crazy Diamond, who repairs and heals.<ref name="cd0">[[Crazy Diamond]]</ref> When he was a child, a random bystander helped save a feverish Josuke out of kindness,<ref name="C324" /> Josuke subconsciously reflected that kindness in him. Even upon the revelation that he was Joseph's bastard son, Josuke had thought first and foremost about the troubles he's caused to the Joestars and disregarded any claim for a heritage, only wanting to reassure his biological father that he was doing fine.<ref name="C267">{{Ch|Chapter 267}}</ref> Agreeable by nature, Josuke isn't as prone to violence as other JoJos and can even calmly tolerate bullying by upperclassmen<ref name="C266" /> or [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]]'s selfishness.<ref name="C337">{{Ch|Chapter 337}}</ref> Josuke is loyal to his friends and loved ones; risking his life after [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] is hit by [[Keicho Nijimura|Keicho]]'s [[Bow and Arrow|Bow]],<ref name="C277">{{Ch|Chapter 277}}</ref> and carrying [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]]'s body while apparently dead throughout the first part of his battle with [[Yoshikage Kira]].<ref name="C430">{{Ch|Chapter 430}}</ref> When his grandfather died, Josuke took it upon himself to become the protector of Morioh.<ref name="C270">{{Ch|Chapter 270}}</ref> Upon meeting someone in not particularly antagonistic circumstances, Josuke will generally be polite and friendly.<br />
<br />
[[File:Josuke and Koichi.png|left|thumb|Josuke hanging out with [[Koichi Hirose]]]]<br />
Overall, Josuke behaves like a teenager and, aside from his general goal of protecting Morioh from any Stand menace, is concerned by more down to earth matters, such as hanging out with his friends. As a result, Josuke is almost never seen alone in the streets of Morioh. Josuke passively protects his town, and only acts when directly asked by the much more proactive Jotaro or when he directly encounters a Stand User. Curious, Josuke is quick to investigate any unusual phenomenon, which often leads him into a Stand User. Josuke is very prone to openly communicate his feelings and emotions, making him appear to be a goofy individual.<br />
<br />
[[File:Josuke turtle scared.png|thumb|Terrified by a turtle]]<br />
Sufficiently humble, Josuke confesses to being nervous around famous people, opting not to go with Koichi to first meet Rohan Kishibe due to his great fame as a ''mangaka''.<ref name="c322">{{Ch|Chapter 322}}</ref> Josuke also has a fear of turtles, and has tried to touch a turtle to get rid of that fear.<ref name="C266" /> Josuke isn't shy to admit his limits, and has confessed that he doesn't know much about manga, or isn't good at video games, even though he isn't happy to have someone know these factoids. In the same way, Josuke tries to live up to Jotaro, whom he admires, and has been nervous around him due to a fear of not living up to the task Jotaro entrusted to him.<ref name="C325">{{Ch|Chapter 325}}</ref> He has also shown a mild fear of ghosts (in the beginning), as shown when Koichi wonders if he saw a ghost in the house next to Josuke's, and Josuke nervously tells him to cut it out.<br />
<br />
[[File:Josuke deadeye dick.png|thumb|left|Josuke calmly aiming at [[Bug-Eaten]] in critical moment|245x245px]]<br />
However, in a fight, Josuke is much more calm and observational, even though aspects of his goofiness tend to shine through. He has sufficient confidence in his own abilities, namely his Stand, but this doesn't extend to Josuke himself since he can still be nervous if things don't go his way. Additionally, [[Terunosuke Miyamoto]] is able to reveal that Josuke's nervous tic is to bite his lips.<ref name="C406">{{Ch|Chapter 406}}</ref> Even if Josuke is gentle by nature, he has no qualms about brutalizing an enemy and, in the case that someone has hurt or endangered a loved one, Josuke will be even more vindictive, as he fused Angelo with a rock<ref name="C273">{{Ch|Chapter 273}}</ref> and Terunosuke with a book.<ref name="C409">{{Ch|Chapter 409}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Josuke and Okuyasu love money.png|thumb|225x225px|Jouske and [[Okuyasu Nijimura]], happy at how much money they can get by cutting off [[Shigekiyo Yangu]]]]<br />
Josuke has a tangential respect of the law at best, having inherited his father's mischievous side, shown primarily in regards to winning money. After nearly emptying his bank account with frivolous spending, Josuke has been trying to get extra money in a quick fashion. When he and Okuyasu meet [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]], he quickly devises a plan to exploit Shigechi's Stand [[Harvest]] to find first discarded change<ref name="C336">{{Ch|Chapter 336}}</ref> and then discarded coupons from all over Morioh, going as far as commit a felony to earn the money in a winning ticket.<ref name="C338">{{Ch|Chapter 338}}</ref> Similarly, after meeting [[Mikitaka Hazekura]], he takes advantage of his shape-shifting 'Stand' power, convincing Mikitaka to turn into dice in order to cheat money from [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]], with whom he has a bad relationship.<ref name="C380">{{Ch|Chapter 380}}</ref> Lastly, characterized as a knowing gesture, he steals Joseph's wallet with his Stand by restoring it to his possession with a piece of a picture planted there.<ref name="C439">{{Ch|Chapter 439}}</ref> The fact that his Stand can nearly repair or heal anything means that Josuke can get away with destruction of property or endangering someone, thus he isn't really concerned about the legal ramifications of his actions, since they will be without consequences (for him, at least).<br />
<br />
[[File:Josuke fangirls.png|left|thumb|220x220px|Josuke with his fangirls]]<br />
While Josuke does have his fair share of groupies, he deals with them much less dramatically than his father and nephew. He isn't peverted nor relentlessly flirtatious (unlike Joseph), but he doesn't go out of his way to get rid of them (unlike Jotaro). Instead, if the girls near Josuke express interest in him, he is flattered and has shown to get along quite well with his female classmates and admirers.<ref name="C267" /> When Jotaro asks Josuke to go hunting, Josuke initially believes he means hunting for girls and says with a blush and smile that he is more of a 'love kind of guy'.<ref name="C325" /> However, he seems to be willing to fight them as he threatened to kill Yukako if she tried to do anything to Koichi, with whom she was obsessed.<ref name="c348">{{Ch|Chapter 348}}</ref> While he does express interest in women, it is not his main priority.<br />
<br />
As a catchphrase, Josuke often says "Great" in English. He also displays an odd quirk whenever he pronounces the Japanese phrase {{nihongo|kakkoii|かっこいい}}, a masculine compliment essentially meaning "cool", where he will always pronounce it weirdly like "Kappyoii" or "Kacchoii." These mispronunciations are translated as "kewl" in the English Crunchyroll subtitles.<br />
<br />
[[File:What'd you say anime.png|thumb|"What'd you say about my hair?"]]<br />
In a quintessential idiosyncrasy, Josuke takes a hyper-sensitive reaction to comments at all disparaging his hairstyle;<ref name="C267" /> which Koichi interprets as Josuke reacting to insults towards his savior, although Josuke personally claims he doesn't know the reason for his wrath.<ref name="C324" /> After an insult, Josuke automatically enters a blind rage, regardless of the circumstances and interlocutors, and becomes much more rude and violent. Firstly, a swaggering upperclassman to whom Josuke initially defers is punched and stepped on<ref name="C266" /> before his nose is permanently deformed. Later, during his fight with Rohan, the latter repeatedly taunts Josuke in an attempt to manipulate Josuke into gazing upon his Stand. As a result, Josuke goes berserk, and after overpowering Rohan, he delivers a beatdown so intense that it landed Rohan in the hospital for a month.<ref name="C324" /><br />
<br />
Araki explains that Josuke was truly hurt by the fact that he grew up never knowing his father and that he covered up this pain with the pompadour man who saved him as a kid. According to Araki, Josuke considers that man a hero, somebody he can rely on, and a symbol of his faith in people.<ref>[[Interview:Jump SQ (December 2007)]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Crazy Diamond}}<br />
<br />
Josuke's [[Stand]], Crazy Diamond, can restore objects (and organisms) to a previous state in their history.<br />
<br />
It is able to repair damage and heal injuries. It can also revert an item to its components (e.g. a wooden table into lumber).<br />
<br />
{{StandBox<br />
|Part=DIU<br />
|Image=CrazyDiamondMangaAv.png<br />
|Name=[[Crazy Diamond]]|JPN=クレイジー・ダイヤモンド<br />
|Debut={{Ch3|Chapter 266}} / {{Ep3|DU Episode 1}}<br />
|Type={{ST|Close}}, {{ST|NH}}<br />

|Cry=DORARARA ... ! [[File:CrazyDiamondDorarara.wav]]<br />
|power=A|speed=A|range=D|stamina=B|precision=B|potential=C<br />
}}<br />
<br />
With this, Crazy Diamond may perform a range of interesting feats; including trapping (parts of) an enemy by restoring pieces of a broken object around it; and tracking, accomplished by restoring something such as a torn piece of clothing, which seeks to reattach itself to the original article.<br />
<br />
However, this Stand is not without limits: Crazy Diamond can only restore state, not life, hence a lifeless body would still remain dead even after being "fixed" by Crazy Diamond's power. Also, the healing power cannot be used on Josuke himself, or strictly speaking, anything that can be considered a part of his current self, body, or even his own clothes.<br />
<br />
====Mastery====<br />
[[File:Josuke with Crazy D.png|left|thumb|Josuke with [[Crazy Diamond]]]]<br />
Josuke shows great proficiency with using Crazy Diamond in combat. Thanks to its great physical prowess, Josuke can use Crazy Diamond's fists to perform outside-of-the-box tactics such as breaking through a wall to escape an attack. Moreover, he has been shown to throw projectiles with great efficiency thanks to his Stand's sheer strength and precision.<br />
<br />
Additionally, Josuke has been shown to use his seemingly restricted power for a wide array of tactical goals. Crazy Diamond's power of repairing anything makes Josuke a great healer, as long as he can reach his allies before they die, and he works exceptionally well with a partner as a result. Because he can break objects and repair them, Josuke is liberal in breaking anything to get something he wants such as a more favorable position or a key item like fuel for a motorcycle, use a precious item as leverage, or even destroy his motorcycle to avoid a baby carriage; he then repairs anything he's broken, cancelling any consequence his antics would have. Josuke can easily exploit the environment to his advantage thanks to Crazy Diamond. His ability to repair makes it so he can manipulate the environment to a certain point, like creating a shield out of concrete or laying down a trap with an object's broken pieces only to repair it around an enemy. The deadliness of his projectile is also increased as he can create a boomerang effect by forcing a piece to come back to him, hitting an enemy from behind.<br />
<br />
===Personal Skills===<br />
Josuke is shrewd, confident, and courageous, possessing considerable fluid intelligence and a will to win - just like [[Joseph Joestar|his father]].<br />
<br />
*'''Intelligence''': Josuke is extremely quick to get on his feet under almost any circumstance as he is very aware of his immediate surroundings as well as his own capabilities. He is proficient in utilizing anything he has within reach for dealing with problems at hand and is also shown to be capable of planning several steps ahead by reading opponents' behavior and habits. Josuke is very confident of his abilities to the point of claiming that there is nothing Crazy Diamond (indirectly referring to himself) can't fix and expresses mild disappointment after figuring out what he thought would have been one such problem. As a result of his intellect, Josuke can be quite cunning; manipulating, lying, and cheating others occasionally to achieve certain selfish goals.<br />
<br />
*'''Physical Fitness''': Josuke possesses substantial athletic ability. He has been shown once to have successfully chased down a moving bus over long distances completely on foot, and can handle a heavy motorbike effortlessly for the first and only time riding it while achieving many otherwise professional feats during a high-speed chase in attempts to avoid direct contacts with the [[Highway Star|enemy]] chasing after him. The most well known demonstration of Josuke's physical toughness is shown when he withstands exposure to several explosions generated by [[Yoshikage Kira]]'s [[Killer Queen]], sustaining heavy injuries and blood loss but remaining conscious enough to think of countermeasures and tactics.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Friends, Classmates and Others===<br />
<br />
*[[Koichi Hirose]]: Josuke is close friends with Koichi and frequently looks out for his well-being. When Koichi becomes victim to Yukako's intense affection toward him, Josuke takes measures to make Koichi seem less attractive. Josuke respects Koichi's bravery in dire times and sees him as a good friend and worthy ally, trusting him for help throughout various battles.<br />
*[[Okuyasu Nijimura]]: Initially, Josuke and Okuyasu met as enemies, but after hearing out Okuyasu's story and motives, Josuke becomes best friends with him. The two frequently hang out with each other and experience day-to-day misadventures. They often encounter or fight Stand users together such as [[Tonio Trussardi|Tonio]], [[Akira Otoishi|Otoishi]], [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]], [[Mikitaka Hazekura|Mikitaka]], [[Toyohiro Kanedaichi|Toyohiro]], and [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]]. They have such a strong bond that when Okuyasu was attacked and nearly killed by Kira, Josuke refused to leave him even though it seemed Okuyasu was dead and dragging his body slowed Josuke down.<br />
*[[Rohan Kishibe]]: Josuke and Rohan initially met as enemies due to Rohan nearly killing Koichi and Okuyasu. Josuke then gets his hair insulted by Rohan and pummels him in blinded rage. Although their views of each other cool down after that, they do not view each other any more amicably. Rohan becomes suspicious of Josuke's attempts to cheat money from him and Josuke becomes suspicious of Rohan's attempts at revenge. Despite this, the two hold some begrudging respect and trust in each other. Due to their contrasting personalities, Rohan had difficulty getting Josuke to listen to him during the fight with [[Highway Star]] and saved Josuke's life while risking his own. Josuke started to respect Rohan after that and risked his life in return by looking for [[Yuya Fungami]] in hopes of rescuing Rohan. Although Josuke has healed Rohan's pinky during their game of Cee-lo, and then healed him again after Highway Star, Rohan gets angry afterwards because he never asked Josuke to do so.<br />
*[[Mikitaka Hazekura]]: Josuke and Mikitaka see each other as close friends. Mikitaka is especially thankful of Josuke for "saving his life" by finding him in a crop circle and getting him away from loud sirens later on. Josuke does not hesitate to have Mikitaka use his ability to attempt to scam money from Rohan, but becomes worried when Mikitaka displays signs of sickness and attempts to look out for his friend's well-being. In addition, Josuke is moved when Mikitaka offers to sacrifice his freedom to save Josuke from [[Super Fly]] during their fight against Toyohiro, and does everything in his power to save him. Overall, the two are good loyal friends who stand by each other.<br />
*[[Josuke's Savior]]: In a past incident in which Josuke had a fever and the car his mom drove was stuck in a snowstorm, an unnamed student with a pompadour took off his coat and placed it underneath the car. By doing so, the car was able to start up and drive over the coat safely as the student pushed the car from behind. This caused Josuke to look up to the student as a role model, and hence style his own hair in a similar manner and to live his life based on how he believed his hero would act. Josuke's admiration is so strong that when someone insults his pompadour, Josuke takes it as an insult to his hero and beats up whoever insulted his hair.<br />
*[[Yukako Yamagishi]]: The two did not start off on good terms due to Yukako's initial obsession and kidnapping of Koichi. When Josuke saw her again, he threatened to kill her if she did anything to Koichi, though she promised not to. The two were stated to have a relationship where they don't care for each other, but after she and Koichi begin dating, Josuke was seen hanging with her and Okuyasu at a cafe in [[Chapter 371]] (notably without Koichi).<br />
*[[Shigekiyo Yangu]]: Initially, Shigekiyo was friendly to Josuke and Okuyasu as he was glad to make new friends. Josuke and Okuyasu referred to him as "Shigechi". Together, they decided to use Shigechi's powers to their advantage to earn some easy money. However, when Shigechi got greedy and failed to keep his promise of sharing an equal amount of money with Josuke and Okuyasu, it led to a confrontation. Josuke and Okuyasu managed to defeat him and Shigechi re-befriended the two. While still annoyed by his greed, Josuke was distraught upon learning Shigechi was murdered by Kira and swore to get revenge for him.<br />
*[[Yuya Fungami]]: The two initially started out as enemies as Yuya used his Stand to absorb nutrients from both Rohan and him. Since he was injured, Josuke healed his wounds so that it would be a "fair fight" and then immediately punched him again several times, knocking him out the window. However, when [[Terunosuke Miyamoto|Terunosuke]] captured Koichi, Josuke went to Yuya for help finding Koichi with his sense of smell in exchange for Josuke healing his wounds. Yuya agreed but stated he wouldn't help fight the Stand user. Despite this, Yuya put his life on the line to save Josuke and Koichi, earning Josuke's respect. The two soon became friends afterwards.<br />
*[[Reimi Sugimoto]]: While Josuke did not have much interaction with Reimi as much as she did with Rohan and Koichi, he did still seem to care for her and felt sorry for her condition. He also didn't seem scared of her, despite his initial fear of ghosts. He listened to her advice about the serial killer Stand user Kira and bid her farewell when she left.<br />
*[[Hayato Kawajiri]]: Hayato found out his father was replaced by Kira and when trying to expose Kira ended up being saved by Josuke. He gave advice to Josuke throughout his fight with Kira despite not having a Stand, such as exposing a weakness in Kira's Stand ability. Josuke in turn admires Hayato's bravery, such as when he allows himself to set off the bomb on Okuyasu's body in place of Josuke, as Hayato sees Josuke and his allies as the only way to stop Kira. He played an integral part in helping Josuke fight against Kira while Josuke protected him, becoming friends in the process.<br />
<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
*[[Tomoko Higashikata]]: Josuke is very close to his mother, as her emotions towards Joseph are much of the reason for his animosity towards his father. He considers her a strong woman and the two love each other deeply. Though he loves his mother, he can be annoyed by her strictness such as telling him to go to bed early or when she froze his bank account after learning he earned 1 billion yen. Both act very informally with each other.<br />
*[[Ryohei Higashikata]]: Josuke respects his maternal grandfather and looks up to him due to his profession as a police officer. The two are very close and Ryohei has a habit of pranking Josuke. When he was killed by Angelo, Josuke got his revenge by fusing Angelo to a rock for eternity to stay in the town his grandfather protected.<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Despite having fought Jotaro when they first met, Josuke has quickly grown to trust him especially after their battle with Angelo and after Jotaro tells him the details behind Stand users in Morioh. Later, when Jotaro takes him out hunting, Josuke is quick to accept and trusts his strategy. They also band together to fight against Yoshikage Kira. Although Josuke is technically Jotaro's uncle, he looks up to Jotaro as a mentor while Jotaro cares for Josuke as a younger brother, though is also mildly exasperated by the latter's temper and rougher-around-the-edge Stand abilities. The two have been described as having a relationship of mutual trust and respect, though Josuke tends to feel pressured by Jotaro due to his greater experience and power. He also looks up to Jotaro calling his Star Platinum invincible during his fight with Akira Otoishi and again when fighting Yoshihiro Kira.<br />
*[[Joseph Joestar]]: Before meeting his father, Josuke preferred that he would just leave because he thought it was too late for Joseph to get involved with him and his mother. Josuke states that he doesn't hate him, but it would be awkward meeting him now and would rather have him leave them in peace as it's always been. However, he fights against Otoishi to protect Joseph's life because he believes he'll be seeing bad dreams if he isn't able to help his father. When Joseph first arrives at Morioh with a broken cane, Josuke also helps him walk by holding his hand instead of repairing it. Upon seeing Joseph's strong desire to help people when he endangered his life to save [[Shizuka Joestar|Shizuka]], Josuke starts to warm up to him. By the end of the manga, he's happily accepting of his father, though still steals his wallet.<br />
*[[Shizuka Joestar]]: When he and Joseph found her, they were surprised by her powers and did their best to take care of her and find her parents. Josuke was concerned when her powers caused her and everything around her to turn invisible and did his best to make sure she was unharmed. He also thinks of her as cute. Considering the limited interactions between the two, it is safe to assume the two get along, especially now that they are siblings (as Joseph later adopts Shizuka).<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Yoshikage Kira]]: After Kira killed Shigechi, Josuke swore to avenge him and developed a grudge against Kira. While Josuke loathed Kira, the latter didn't think much of Josuke and as an enemy, preferred to avoid any confrontation with him. However, during their final battle, Kira noticed that Josuke's ability to repair things was the perfect counter to [[Killer Queen]]'s ability. After realizing that Josuke is the most terrifying person getting in the way of his peace of mind rather than Jotaro, Kira was more cautious during their fight.<br />
*[[Yoshihiro Kira]]: Because Yoshihiro is Yoshikage's greatest ally, Josuke and Yoshihiro are enemies. Josuke bears a grudge against Yoshihiro and the latter made several attempts to kill Josuke including attacking him with his Stand and creating several Stand users. Josuke manages to kill Yoshihiro by tricking Yoshikage, who unknowingly makes his father explode.<br />
*[[Anjuro Katagiri]]: Due to Angelo murdering his grandfather, Josuke despised him and made a vow to protect Morioh from criminals like him. Josuke would later take his revenge by turning Angelo into a rock.<br />
*[[Akira Otoishi]]: Out of empathy for [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] losing his [[Keicho Nijimura|brother]] to Otoishi, Josuke disliked Otoishi and knew he had to be stopped. When confronting Josuke in his own home, Otoishi underestimated his abilities and thought he could defeat Josuke with only his pinky. When Otoishi threatens to murder Joseph, Josuke fights seriously against him and after his defeat, Otoishi cooperates by staying in prison due to fear of being hunted down by Jotaro.<br />
*[[Terunosuke Miyamoto]]: In order to lure out Josuke, Terunosuke trapped Josuke's mother and Koichi inside pieces of paper. Josuke was angered by him for being someone who would take people hostage, most notably his mother. Josuke would later get his revenge by turning Terunosuke into a book and leaving him in the Morioh library.<br />
*[[Keicho Nijimura]]: Josuke and Keicho met as enemies due to the latter's involvement in putting Morioh's population in danger and shooting Koichi in the throat. While Josuke detested Keicho's callousness toward his own brother, he felt sympathetic towards the brothers after learning of their father's fate, recognizing some decency in Keicho and offered a truce. Keicho, plagued by the thought of his past crimes, rejected the truce and was killed by Otoishi soon afterwards.<br />
*[[Toyohiro Kanedaichi]]: Originally acting friendly towards Josuke, Toyohiro reveals that his kindness was only a ploy in an attempt to kill him. After a brief fight, Toyohiro tells Josuke and the others that he is trapped by his Stand and was just trying to escape. He then dropped all hostility towards Josuke and his friends and informed him that Koichi was being attacked by [[Terunosuke Miyamoto|another Stand user]].<br />
<br />
===The Book: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 4th Another Day===<br />
<br />
*[[Takuma Hasumi]]: After learning that there was another murderer in Morioh, Josuke went on an investigation that eventually led him to confront Takuma. While the two have only brief interactions, Josuke never forgave Takuma for assaulting Okuyasu and his mother and insulting his hero. Despite this, after a lengthy fight with Takuma, Josuke tried to save Takuma's life when he fell off a roof. Takuma rejected the help and fell to his death.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Araki's_Top_Ten_Favourite_Characters_(2000).jpg|thumb|Araki's #1-10 Favorite Characters]]<br />
*The "Suke" (助) in his name may also be pronounced as "Jo" in Japanese.<br />
*As of ''Steel Ball Run'', Josuke is Araki's favorite ''[[JoJo]]''. He explains that because of the general everyday neighborhood setting of ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]'', he felt more attached to Josuke, and considered him somewhat like a friend or a senior. In contrast, Jotaro was "more of someone you would admire as a hero".<ref>[http://jburogu-godzillaradio.blogspot.com/2012/01/video-subbing-manga-artist-araki.html Interview with Araki.]</ref><br />
*The identity of Josuke's savior is a commonly discussed subject in the fandom, dating back to when Part 4 was first publicized in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]].<ref name="DP15BD">[[DU Episode 15#Commentary|DU Episode 15]], [[Naokatsu Tsuda]], Blu-Ray limited edition commentary</ref> In a 1994 interview with [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA)|OVA]] director, {{W|Hiroyuki Kitakubo}}, when asked about the flashback and whether it was Josuke who met himself, [[Hirohiko Araki]] replied, "It's irrelevant, that was merely Josuke's memory."<ref>{{IN|Kitakubo OVA (07/1994)|Kitakubo Special Talk (July 1994)}}</ref> [[David Production]]'s TV Anime director, [[Naokatsu Tsuda]], also inquired Araki on who the mysterious boy was during production of the anime adaptation, though Araki seemingly chose not to comment.<ref name="DP15BD" /><br />
*Josuke's surname, Higashikata, is written using the same kanji as "tōhō" (東方), the Japanese word for "eastern" or "oriental".<br />
*In the 2019 ISU World Figure Skating Championships Gala, skater {{W|Keiji Tanaka}} paid tribute to Josuke's character by cosplaying as him during a demonstration, performing to the music of the anime's main theme.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXA7nQpYHqk</ref><br />

{{Quote|I'm going to steal '''one'''... one of those '''[[Locacaca|fruits]]'''...|Yoshikage Kira, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 49}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Yoshikage Kira'''|吉良 吉影|Kira Yoshikage}} is a character featured in the eighth part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[JoJolion]]''. Introduced early in the story, Yoshikage gains significance in the "[[Vitamin C and Killer Queen (story arc)|Vitamin C and Killer Queen]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
Yoshikage is the son of [[Holy Joestar-Kira]] and the older brother of [[Kei Nijimura]]. Yoshikage works as a marine surgeon and is also a [[Stand]] User, wielding the bomb-producing [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Killer Queen]]. Parts of his body are exchanged with [[Josefumi Kujo]], transforming Josefumi into [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Kira is a man of slim to medium build and seemingly average height. He has dark eyes and fine features, and wavy black hair of irregular chin-length resembling thin naturally occurring dreads (later appearances depict the same lock of hair as straightened). According to [[Ojiro Sasame]], he has beautiful hands and somehow bore a resemblance to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] despite him stating their obvious differences in appearance. He wears a sailor uniform much like Josuke's, though with a tasseled beret or bonnet, in contrast to Josuke's "Dixie cup" style sailor's cap. <br />
<br />
His corpse is discovered without testicles, in contrast with Josuke's four, without a related wound.<ref name="JJLC6P41">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 6}} p.41</ref><br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Yoshikage Kira is a sinister individual with many unusual and dark personality traits, but whose love for his mother and loyalty to his allies put him on the side of good.<br />
<br />
Kira is a narcissist, keeping sculptures of his own hands around his house, apparently as documents to their ideal state.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 6}}, p.10-12</ref> A copy of the Mona Lisa hangs from a wall in his living room,<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 3}}, p.4</ref> alluding to [[Yoshikage Kira|the Kira from ''Diamond is Unbreakable'']]'s attirance for beautiful hands although this version of Kira doesn't show the same fetish. He seems to have certain obsessive-compulsive tendencies, keeping an organized stock of entirely green foods,<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 3}}, p.7</ref> and shelves of containers of his fingernails in his bathroom, labeled by date.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 3}}, p.19</ref><br />
<br />
His interactions with others are mostly cold and apathetic, fitting and contrasting his occupation as a surgeon. As a teenager, he immediately jumped to the conclusion that a drowned and unconscious Josefumi was fated to die, showing exasperation when his mother prompted him to manually save the boy's life, only wishing to see ''Titanic'' in theater later and leaving the hospital alone because of it.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 50}}, p.11, p.15</ref> As an adult, when a fellow crew member on his team is injured, sustaining heavy blood loss and the inability to breathe, as the surgeon of the crew, Kira applied little effort to helping him, nonchalantly putting his shoes on before getting out of bed and ordering the others to hold his hand and encourage him, without so much as looking in his direction (his lack of concern was mostly due to presumably knowing the seriousness of the injury and that the crew member was in no life-threatening danger).<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 49}}, p.23</ref><br />
<br />
Later, he easily antagonizes [[Rock Humans]] by referring to them as "''things''" rather than individuals, even though he had not interacted with any of them at that point.{{Cite}}<br />
<br />
He is shown in several instances speaking to [[Ojiro Sasame]] in a deliberately confusing and insulting manner, intimidating and threatening him away from the coast in order to rectify Kira's personal problem with him as a surfer; being 'indecisive' about being either a man of the sea or of the land. Apparently, it went to the point that Ojiro ate his own fingers.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 6}}, p.24-29</ref> Another milder instance of Kira brutalizing Ojiro happened when he inserted a small bomb in Ojiro's cheek to chase him away.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 49}}, p.32</ref><br />
<br />
However, his sister [[Kei Nijimura|Kei]] claims that he was not heartless, as he cared for his mother and actively worked to save her from the same disease that plagues the Higashikata family.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 50}}, p.25</ref> On another occasion, Kira sacrificed his life to save Josefumi when their plan to cultivate and harvest the Locacaca fruit was found out by [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama|Yotsuyu]] and [[Tamaki Damo|Damo]], as he believed Josefumi had no right to die since he was only involved because of Kira's own personal agenda. This proves he can be a good loyal friend to those he cares for.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 52}}, p.23</ref><ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 53}}, p.19</ref> His thoughtfulness was also shown the first time he met [[Yasuho Hirose]], as he made sure to kill the [[Hair Clip]] that tormented Yasuho while apologizing to her and promising to reimburse the cost.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 71}}, p.40</ref><br />
<br />
Kira also shows remarkable spirit in the face of adversity. When [[Tamaki Damo]] captured him and Josefumi, Kira showed unwavering defiance, even swearing that he would kill all of them and seize the Locacaca, and at the same time thought up and completed a plan that would help him and Josefumi escape from the [[Rock Human]]s<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 52}}, p.18</ref><br />
<br />
Kira is one of the few characters who express the belief that there is a kind of fated connection between [[Stand]] Users.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 51}}, p.32</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Killer Queen (JoJolion)}}<br />
<br />
Kira's [[Stand]] is Killer Queen, with the ability to generate bubbles that explode on contact. Part of this Stand is fused to [[Josefumi Kujo]]'s when the two are buried together, resulting in [[Soft & Wet]].<ref name="JJLC17P31-32">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 17}} pp.31-32</ref> The Stand also has an ability called [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Sheer Heart Attack]], which releases several miniature remote controlled bomb tanks.<br />

===Ship Doctor===<br />
As a doctor, Kira demonstrates an extensive level of medical knowledge and is capable of diagnosing and treating injuries on the spot. While on a cargo ship, he displayed confidence in being able to perform on-site surgery on a man who had lost his eye.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 49}}</ref> Kira's calm personality and Stand ability also assist him in his profession as they allow for an advanced level of precision during medical procedures, such as being to remove a blood clot using Sheer Heart Attack.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 50}}</ref> In relation to being a ship surgeon, Kira is also knowledgeable in sailing boats as seen in the [[Vitamin C and Killer Queen (story arc)|Vitamin C and Killer Queen]] story arc.<br />

Yoshikage Kira was born the son of Yoshiteru Kira and [[Holy Joestar-Kira]].<br />
<br />
When he was 4, Yoshikage met with the Flemish Giant Rabbit Cindy, but broke two of his ribs this day only to be treated by his mother.<br />
<br />
During his youth, Yoshikage helped save [[Josefumi Kujo]] from a blood clot using his [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Killer Queen]]'s Sheer Heart Attack.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 2005,<ref name="JJLC71">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 71}}</ref> Kira encountered a 13-year old [[Yasuho Hirose]] after she had been admitted to the hospital for non-fatal head injuries. Following a brief exchange between her and Holy, Kira entered Yasuho's room and apologized for his mother's behavior, while also revealing that he had stepped on Yasuho's [[Hair Clip Rock Animal|hair clip]] earlier. He stated that the crystal inside was a fake, but offered to pay for it before walking out.<br />
<br />
Kira then became a marine surgeon who was once acquainted with [[Ojiro Sasame]]. He continuously bullied Sasame questioning him as to whether surfers are "people of the sea or people of the land", stating that he "dislikes passing through the borders of things", as well as the ambiguity in Sasame's profession, before somehow convincing him to bite off or eat all of his fingers.<br />
<br />
===Pre-JoJolion===<br />
In 2009, while on duty, Kira accidentally stumbled over [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]] in his rock form, discovering the existence of the [[Rock Humans]]. Curious, Kira then investigated Aisho's activities, learned of the [[Locacaca]]'s existence, and met with [[Josefumi Kujo]]. Josefumi, having a debt toward Kira and his mother for saving his life many years before, agreed to cooperate with Kira in stealing the [[Locacaca]]. The two eventually managed to snatch a branch of the tree from Aisho without him knowing, planning to graft the branch to another tree to harvest the Locacaca later.<br />
<br />
At some point Kira associated with [[Karera Sakunami]], and the two took a photo together with Josefumi. She later remarks that Josefumi and Kira used to live together.<ref name="JJL45">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 45}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:damo tortures kira and josefumi.png|thumb|left|Kira and Josefumi tortured by Damo]][[File:Josefumi Crumbles Coloured.jpg|thumb|The tragedy of Yoshikage Kira and Josefumi Kujo]]<br />
Kira and Josefumi were eventually found by [[Tamaki Damo]] and [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]]. Tamaki proceeded to torture Kira and Josefumi, at one point cutting off Kira's liver. Kira and Josefumi, however, managed to escape and he was dragged to the location of the Locacaca, having already lost consciousness. Josefumi tried to heal him using one of the fruits, even using his [[Soft & Wet]] to break the fruit down to feed via bubbles. However, this proved to be in vain, as Kira had already died from his injuries. Josefumi, already undergoing the equivalent exchange process from the Locacaca, hugged his friend as the two were crushed by debris: causing parts of their bodies to be exchanged from the [[Wall Eyes|Wall Eye]]. Josefumi, later known as {{Josuke8|Josuke}}, emerged from the rubble with parts of Kira's body exchanged with his own and without any memories.<br />
<br />
Kira's corpse is later found at this site, his cause of death diagnosed as cardiac arrest.<ref name="JJLC6P38-40">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 6}}, pp.38-40</ref> Josuke and Yasuho subsequently attempt to investigate Kira, particularly due to his connections to the [[Higashikata Family|Higashikata family]].<br />

Mountain Tim is introduced as a benevolent bounty hunter who is well acquainted with the law and is stated to have made many friends.<ref name="SBRC13p7">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 13}}, p7</ref> Although he participates in the Steel Ball Run, Tim quickly abandons his goal to give chase to a participant assassinating the competition. It seems his benevolence is such that horses intuit a sense of great respect for him, bowing their heads when he approaches.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 13}}, p3</ref> At the moment of his death, Mountain Tim confesses that he never expected to die a peaceful death but longed for at least a place to return after his journey.<ref name="SBR37">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 37}}, p49</ref><br />

Mountain Tim usually maintains as cool-headed demeanor. Although he makes the occasional disinterested quip, Tim is serious most of the time.<br />
<br />
Tim becomes attracted to [[Lucy Steel]] upon their first meeting, notably suavely picking and offering her flowers and sighing that she's a married woman.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 13}}, p6</ref> During their second meeting, he actually confesses his love and ultimately respects Lucy's loyalty to her husband.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 37}}, p23-28</ref> Tim goes to great lengths to protect Lucy, immediately coming to her aid when she calls for help despite breaking into the President's office and keeps silent when [[Blackmore]] interrogates him.<ref name="SBR37" /><br />

==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:tim awakens lasso.png|thumb|While in the army, Mountain Tim awakened his Stand in a Devil's Palm]]<br />
Mountain Tim hails from Wyoming.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 1}}, p41</ref> In 1875 when Mountain Tim was 16, the young man was already part of the army. Tim's unit was assigned to venture out into the uncharted areas of the Arizona desert. The area turned out to be the [[Devil's Palm]], and his unit became lost while wandering through it. Unable to find water, the horses died, with the soldiers dying soon after. Tim was also nearly fried to death - but woke suddenly in the middle of the night to discover that a tiny bit of dew had collected on his rope and his body, having merged with the rope, was absorbing the water on its own. He was the only survivor.<br />
<br />
In the following years, Tim began working as a cowboy and bounty hunter. As a cowboy, he annually travelled 4,000&nbsp;km through the pastures with 3,000 cattle.<ref name=":0" /> As a bounty hunter, he's hunted wanted man from northern Montana to southern Texas, become renowned in his line of work and trusted by the authorities.<ref name="SBRC13p7" /> His skill and sense of justice made him actually famous in the country.<br />
<br />
===Steel Ball Run===<br />
====Racing in the SBR====<br />
Mountain Tim registers as one of the participants in the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]]. As a renowned cowboy, he attracts the attention of the media and is seen as one of the favorites. In the first stage, Mountain Tim and manages to cross the finish line at the fifth place, ending at the fourth place because [[Gyro Zeppeli]] is demoted to 21st place.<br />
<br />
====Pursuing a Murderer====<br />
[[File:tim investigates.png|thumb|left|Mountain Tim investigates a mysterious murder]]<br />
After ranking 4th in the first stage of the race, he is called in to help with the investigation of a gruesome murder which took place along the race's course. Three participants have been mysteriously disemboweled. Arriving on the scene, Tim looks at the horseshoe prints and notices that one horse with a distinctive triangular dent at the center of its horseshoe had briefly gone out of control near the corpses, meaning its rider was the killer. He also retrieves a button from a victim's jeans that mysteriously come off, hinting at the method of the killer. The sheriff deputizes Tim, requesting that he pursue all potential suspects and believing that Tim himself will be targeted by the culprit as one of the race forerunners. Tim secretly abandons the race to focus on finding the murderer.<br />
<br />
Incidentally, Mountain Tim meets [[Lucy Steel]] near the crime scene. Charmed by her, Tim offers her a bouquet of wild flowers he takes nearby.<br />
<br />
Once the second stage starts, Tim follows the distinctive horseshoe prints found at the murder. Stumbling upon [[Mrs. Robinson]]'s horse, he briefly checks it and confirms Robinson isn't the culprit but that the murderer has passed recently on the route that [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] are taking. He eventually confronts a rider who seems to be Johnny Joestar. Johnny (in reality [[Benjamin Boomboom]] disguised as Johnny) throws his horseshoe at Tim, splashing him with a bit of blood and flees in a massive brier patch, but Tim easily lassos him around the neck - making use of [[Oh! Lonesome Me]] to prevent "Johnny" from cutting the rope. "Johnny" still manages to do so, however, and flees on his horse while reverting his face to normal. Tim, now believing Johnny to be the killer, begins his hunt for the real Johnny - not aware that now he, Johnny and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] have all been affected by the Boombooms' ability and will explode upon getting too close to each other, due to the magnetic pull.<br />
<br />
[[File:tim vs tomb boom.png|thumb|280px|Mountain Tim fights the Boomboom Family's Stand, Tomb of the Boom]]<br />
Tim eventually catches up to the duo. As Tim gets closer, Johnny and Gyro realize that he must have been affected by the Boombooms' ability as well. Gyro ends up using a [[Steel Ball]] destroy the iron-rich rocks nearby and turn them into gravel that flies in the face of Tim. Tim is unhorsed, but unfortunately, the trio were already too close and Tim goes flying toward Gyro and Johnny. However, he manages to stop the potential impact by utilizing his Stand ability and pulling himself onto a high rock. Once Johnny and Gyro explain about the Boombooms' ability, Tim comes to realize that he had been chasing the wrong suspect. The [[Boomboom Family]] soon reappears, attacking the trio using their [[Stand]] and sending them colliding with each other. They are ultimately defeated by Johnny's awakened [[Tusk]] ability and Tim urges Johnny and Gyro to hurry and leave the area, as they all seem to have ended up in a [[Devil's Palm]]. The trio are then the first three to reach the midway checkpoint of the second stage.<br />
<br />
Soon, [[Oyecomova]] arrives and Tim catches him in the hotel room rifling through Gyro's things. When he grabs Oyecomova's shoulder, a chunk of skin comes off and soon blows up, heavily injuring Tim. However, Tim was able to scatter his body parts and survives. He warns Gyro when Oyecomova tries to attack, telling the secret the latter's ability. Tim subsequently drops out of the race to recover and devote his entire attention to assisting the sheriff.<br />
<br />
====A Cowboy's End====<br />
[[File:tim vs blackmore.png|thumb|left|After saving Lucy, Blackmore appears and kills him]]<br />
In Kansas City, Mountain Tim is called by [[Lucy Steel]] who is cornered in a government building. He rushes to her side and sneaks through the vents, using his power on Lucy to enable her to disassemble along his rope and sneak out of the building. The two go to a warehouse and reveals that he has loved her since their first meeting. He is disappointed when she apologizes for having potentially led him on and reaffirms her loyalty to [[Steven Steel]]. Tim still advises her to seek out [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] if she gets into trouble. After he and Lucy Steel go their separate ways, Tim is confronted by [[Blackmore]], who had traced the call from the government building to him. Tim draws his gun and hits Blackmore in the chest once. Blackmore merges with the rain and evades the attack and Tim disassembles himself to bind and shoot Blackmore in the head. But, Blackmore yanks the rope, pulling Tim in the trajectory of the immobilized rain drops that cut open his head. On the ground, Tim is compelled one last time to reveal who was the caller but Tim only says he never expected to die quietly and only wished for a place to return to. Mountain Tim is subsequently shot in the head by Blackmore.<br />

{{Quote|The '''Blue Lagoon'''... Man, I'd love to really go there. That's my dream...|Dolomite, [[JJL Chapter 60]]}}<br />
<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Dolomite'''|ドロミテ|Doromite}}, also known as {{Nihongo|'''Masaji Dorokoma'''|泥駒 政次|Dorokoma Masaji}}, is a minor antagonist featured in the eighth part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[JoJolion]]'', specifically the "[[Dolomite's Blue Lagoon (story arc)|Dolomite's Blue Lagoon]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
An acquaintance of [[Jobin Higashikata]], Dolomite is a [[Rock Humans|Rock Human]] whose body is partially destroyed. Upon Jobin's request, Dolomite helps him retrieve the [[Locacaca]] after being lured by [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|living proof]] of the Locacaca's next stage of equivalent exchange. He is a [[Stand]] User and controls people through his [[Blue Hawaii]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Dolomite was originally a normal looking man. Wearing an undercut, the hair on his sides was shaved down whilst the hair on his crown was pulled to the right of his forehead. He wore an exotic striped jacket over a dark, long-sleeved shirt.<br />
<br />
After his body was destroyed, Dolomite's appearance drastically changed. His entire body and skin took on a more rock-like appearance, with a rougher complexion and cracks in his skin. Dolomite's arms and legs are reduced to stumps while his teeth are broken and cracked. His eyes are duller and a strange marking exists above his nose, in the form of a triangle with a small circle above it. His hair has grown out much longer and is unkempt, hanging over his shoulders. As for clothing, he still retains his exotic jacket but nothing else.<br />
<br />

{{Palette|Outfit|#c99444|#010005|desc=Yellow outfit with black stripes}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Little is known of Dolomite's past personality. In the past, Dolomite was an easy-going man. His idea of paradise was inspired by the novel {{W|The Blue Lagoon (novel)|''The Blue Lagoon''}}, referring to a tropical paradise isolated from the rest of the world. At that time, he also cared for another woman. In fact, he saved her from electrocution at the cost of his own body.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 60}}, p.2-6</ref> Dolomite still harbors some feelings for her and expressed a desire to seek her out and invite her to the "Blue Lagoon".<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 63}}, p.37</ref><br />
<br />
Despite the destruction of his body, his mind is relatively sane, although he does display animalistic behavior at times. He is also extremely nihilistic, likely due to the fact he cannot participate in society any more.<ref name="JJL60P9">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 60}}, p.9</ref> He is not interested in the Locacaca operation, and whilst commenting that it will be "lonely", he does not show any grief to his fellow Rock Humans.<ref name="JJL60P9" /> The reason given as he has nobody left, he can not participate in an equivalent exchange process. While Dolomite states he is actually content with living near the Mutsukabe-Hill pond,<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 60}}, p.8</ref> he becomes interested in the new [[Locacaca]]'s healing properties when [[Jobin]] explains [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]]'s history and cooperates with Jobin.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 60}}, p.11</ref> Despite his independance, he is aware of the existence of the [[Locacaca Organization]]'s upper echelons and is frightened by them, to the point he warns Josuke and Yasuho to not seek the Locacaca further.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 63}}, p.45</ref><br />
<br />
As a [[Rock Human]], Dolomite has little concern about harming humans. His crude control over people means that they will probably harm themselves as they try to grab a target, and Dolomite was ready to drown Josuke when he was done with him.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 63}}, p.36</ref> However, he shows a measure of restraint when he asks Jobin first if the latter is alright with collateral damage.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 61}}, p.6</ref><br />
<br />
Dolomite motly eats frogs by turning into rock and luring them near him, but seems to be fond of fried chicken, as it is the food Jobin used to lure him out.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 59}}, p.31</ref> It is known that he also attacked pet pens or farms in order to eat rabbits and chickens.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 62}}, p.36-37</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{main|Blue Hawaii}}<br />
<br />
Dolomite's [[Stand]] has the power to control humans from afar to attack a particular target so long as that person has touched something belonging to the user, or the blood of one of the victims.<br />

==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:dolomite background.png|thumb|Dolomite and his then girlfriend]]<br />
Years ago, Dolomite originally was a normal-looking Rock Human that loved an [[Dolomite's Crush|unknown woman]] fondly. The woman, apparently blind, wandered into a power plant and Dolomite rushed after her. He pushed her out of the way in time, saving her. However, the power pylons electrically shocked him to such a severe degree that it blasted apart his arms, legs and teeth. The last thing Dolomite saw was the woman wandering away. Over the years Dolomite ate several animals, causing the police to search for him.<br />
<br />
===JoJolion===<br />
===[[Dolomite's Blue Lagoon (story arc)|Dolomite's Blue Lagoon]]===<br />
[[File:jobin meets dolomite.png|thumb|left|Jobin meets with Dolomite]]<br />
After an unknown amount of time, Dolomite settled down near a pond located at a shrine; living as a hermit and becoming unaware of the events happening to his Rock Human brethren. After witnessing [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] kill [[Tamaki Damo]], [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] goes to the pond and summons Dolomite using fried chicken. Jobin informs him of what happened to the [[Locacaca Smuggling Organization]] managing the [[Locacaca]] trade, and asks Dolomite to help him acquire a [[Locacaca]] so he can perform equivalent exchange. Interested, Dolomite uses his [[Blue Hawaii]] to infect the people of [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] and try to attack Josuke.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho vs dolomite.png|thumb|Yasuho finds and corners Dolomite]]<br />
While Blue Hawaii relentlessly pursues Josuke, Dolomite stays idle in his pond. Josuke finally beaten, and instructed to return to Dolomite immediately, the Rock Human takes his mobile phone and interrogates him to know who Josuke was going to meet, to which Josuke answers that he was to meet with a plant appraiser. Investigating the phone, Dolomite confirms Josuke's statement; declaring himself the victor, he orders Josuke to drown himself at the bottom of the pond, but [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] intervenes and bashes his head with a metal bar. Limbless, Dolomite has no way to defend himself and is forced into a mud pit when Yasuho interrogates him about his accomplice and the Rock Human tries to stay silent. Defeated, Dolomite releases his control over Josuke and reveals that it was Jobin who asked him to attack Josuke.<br />
<br />
Dolomite then comments that Josuke and Yasuho are way over their head by involving themselves with the Locacaca business, especially since a new species of the fruit has emerged. After his confession, he is subdued by Yasuho and Josuke with his current fate unknown.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*Dolomite is named after the {{w|Dolomites}}, a portion of the Italian Alps where the mineral {{w|Dolomite_(mineral)|dolomite}} gets its name. Dolomite's name is read in Japanese as {{nihongo4||ドロミテ|doromite}}, derived from the singular form of the Italian name for the Dolomites (pl. ''Dolomiti''; s. ''Dolomite''), rather than the English name for the mineral, which is {{nihongo4||ドロマイト|doromaito}} in Japanese.<br />

{{Quote|Greetings, allow me to welcome you aboard the Satanic Coupler, my sincerest thanks. Let me introduce myself. I’m the train driver and my name is Absalom. I shall take care of all of you until the end of the journey. I’m at your disposal for any request you might have.|Absalom|''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (novel)|The Genesis of Universe]]'' Chapter 1}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Absalom'''|アブサロム|Abusaromu}} is a character featured in the storyline "One-Way Trip from the Desert to Hell City" from the light novel, ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (novel)|The Genesis of Universe]]'', based on ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]''. Absalom is a [[Stand]] User and wields [[Satanic Coupler]], a train-like Stand.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Absalom is a young man with brown skin coming from the native communities of the Egyptian desert. He has a strong jaw and short unkempt hair. Absalom wears a nondescript tunic but illustrations show that he also wears a dark hat and several jewels, notably bracelets, earrings and a necklace with a distinctive larger plate at the center decorated with a star.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Absalom carries with him great hatred and fixation with civilization, even willing to kill himself for a world without it. His Stand represents this hate and obsession, taking the form of the very thing he loved and killed his family: a train. When [[DIO]] promises to create a new world different from the civilized one, he even is capable of committing suicide to see this dream come true. That said, Absalom is quite protective of his sister [[Michal]].<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
Absalom's Stand [[Satanic Coupler]] can solidify and displace matter in order to form a powerful train. It can read the memories of passengers present in the train to enhance itself based on what the passenger thinks trains are like. For example, the Stand gets a ferocious appearance because [[Iggy]] thinks trains are monstrous.<br />

<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
Absalom was raised in the deserts of Egypt, but was ashamed of the uncivilized life he had. In his childhood he was attracted to civilization, particularly to trains (even dreaming of driving one), and believing that "the human being can only find happiness in a civilized society". However he became disappointed even with the civilized men and began hating civilization four years ago when his parents died during a family trip in a train accident in Cairo. In that accident, his sister [[Michal]] lost her voice because of throat injuries. What shocked him the most is that the inhabitants only helped those they knew and the wealthy first, leaving him and Michal last because they were from the desert. Disillusioned with civilization, he and Michal then met [[DIO]] who healed Michal and convince Absalom to work for him. They both pledged loyalty to DIO, as he promised to create a new world different from both the desert and the civilized ones if the [[Joestar Group|Joestar group]] is killed. His [[Stand]], [[Satanic Coupler]], represents his fixation and hatred with civilization.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (novel)#Chapter 1: One-Way Trip from the Desert to Hell City|The Genesis of Universe]]===<br />
The Joestar group, exhausted from the Nubian Desert's heat, suddenly encounters Absalom, who presents himself as the driver of the "Satanic Coupler" locomotive and offers refuge for them inside it. Revealing the train to be his own Stand, Absalom confines them in it, planning to push the group from hope to despair with enclosure. Absalom tries a suicide attack, planning to destroy his own Stand with everyone inside, but [[Jotaro Kujo]], [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]] and [[Iggy]] use their wits to escape, foiling his plan. After the defeat of his sister, Absalom confronts them again in his hideout close to an oasis village, his hometown. Because his attack involved a boy from the village, he soon faces the wrath of a furious Jotaro, who discovers his Stand's weakness and hammers it with a barrage of punches thanks to a plan made by a recently rescued [[Joseph Joestar]]. His last attempt of resistence is to shrink his Stand and sneak it into [[Avdol]]'s body, but lost to the also smaller [[Hierophant Green]] and [[Star Platinum]] and becomes incapacitated. Villagers later mistake the Joestar group as bad people and rescue Absalom, who decides to live with them peacefully.<br />

==Summary==<br />
The story begins on a running armored train of the '''[[Dress Organization|Secret Dress Organization]]'''. A little girl named [[Sumire]] has escaped her cell and is pursued by [[Sophine]], one of Dress' agents. Sumire is a psychic and uses her power to break into a fortified wagon where the containment of '''[[Baoh (Parasite)|Baoh]]''' is overseen by [[Dr. Kasuminome]]. Sumire then turns a valve, causing a failure of the containment system which reveals a young boy with extraordinary strength and resilience. Sumire and the boy then escape from the train in the ensuing chaos.<br />
<br />
Hours later, Sumire and the boy take a rest. The boy named '''[[Ikuro Hashizawa|Ikuro]]''' reveals that he's amnesiac while Sumire explains her past as an orphan. Suddenly, an [[22nd Man|assassin]] from the Dress organization stabs Ikuro from behind. Ikuro and Sumire then flee on a motorbike with the assassin pursuing them. The assassin eventually ambushes Ikuro and inflicts mortal wounds with his combat knife, but Ikuro partially turns into Baoh, heals his wounds and kills the assassin. Meanwhile, Kasuminome demonstrates the potential of Baoh to the sponsors of the Dress organization. [[Dordo]], an elite enforcer of the organization, also shows that bullets to the head and fire can kill the Baoh. Dordo is then deployed with a death squad to hunt down Ikuro.<br />
<br />
Ikuro and Sumire take refuge in an abandoned building. Ikuro remembers a car crash and the subsequent experimentations Kasuminome has performed on him. Sumire senses the death squad coming and a battle ensues. Sumire is knocked out in the struggle but Ikuro fully turns into Baoh and decimates the squad. When Dordo takes Sumire hostage, Baoh uses his stinger hairs to melt Dordo's skin, only to reveal that Dordo is a cyborg whose loss of skin is a minor inconvenience. Fleeing with Sumire, Dordo goads Ikuro to come to Dress' main laboratory to take her back.<br />
<br />
Back at the lab, Kasuminome tortures Sumire to lure Ikuro, who can sense her suffering. Ikuro scales a cliff leading to the lab and is ambushed by Dordo on a helicopter who tries to shoot him with an explosive bullet. However, Baoh manifests a new ability and projects an energy field returning to bullet to Dordo, destroying the helicopter and killing the agent. Baoh enters the lab but a psychic on Dress' orders confronts him. [[Walken]] is a powerful psychic but Baoh eventually throws a sharp arm-blade into his skull, taking him out. Desperate, Kasuminome engages the self-destruction of the building.<br />
<br />
Ikuro breaks into Sumire's cell, disables the laser defense set up in the room and revives her. Meanwhile, Walken has regained consciousness; the arm-blade destroyed Walken's bandana which was a psychic limiter, driving him berserk. Walken confronts Ikuro and opens a hole on the ground, making everyone fall into a cavern including Kasuminome and Sophine who were in an escape pod. Ikuro silently points out to an escape route and Sumire leaves him after a tearful goodbye. In the ensuing battle against Walken, Baoh prevails by using a laser to his advantage. Walken, Kasuminome and Sophine die, and the cavern collapses.<br />
<br />
Years later, Sumire is still free and is shown waiting by the beach. She sees a vision that Ikuro is still alive, slumbering in the depths of the pond below the lab.<br />

==Manga/OVA Differences==<br />
<br />
*The female agent who is held responsible for Ikuro and Sumire's escape is given the name [[Sophine]]. She lasts longer in the OVA, while in the manga she is disposed of by the organization for letting the two escape.<br />
*[[Dordo]] appears earlier in the OVA, shooting the [[Baoh Dog|Baoh dog]] in the brain.<br />
*[[Walken]] appears earlier in the OVA.<br />
**The headpiece used to suppress Walken's psychic power is a bandana in the OVA; in the manga, it is instead a pair of headphones.<br />
*Dordo's first confrontation with Baoh and kidnapping of Sumire occurs earlier in the OVA, after Baoh disposes of the Dress soldiers in the abandoned building.<br />
**The scene of Dordo using [[Aroma Bats]] against Baoh is removed.<br />
**The scene of Dordo being mocked by the Dress Organization for only kidnapping Sumire is omitted.<br />
*The characters [[Martin]] and [[Martin's Master|his master]] are completely omitted.<br />
*The characters [[Rokusuke]] and [[Rokusuke's Wife|his wife]] are completely omitted, along with all scenes involving them.<br />
*The scene where Ikuro tries saving a [[Aya (Baoh)|girl]] from a train without transforming into Baoh is omitted.<br />
*Ikuro's second confrontation with Dordo as well as the latter's death is completely altered: In the OVA, Dordo tries shooting Ikuro from his helicopter while Ikuro is climbing towards the Dress Organization base, but Ikuro deflects one of the bullets, sending it back to Dordo's helicopter, which explodes with him in it. In the manga, Dordo tries assassinating Baoh in a town, but is forced to retreat after failing to do so, resulting in his execution by Walken.<br />
*The scene of Baoh fighting the [[Sap Spiders]] in the Dress Organization base is removed.<br />
*Sophine is seen dying from a falling stalactite, along with Dr. Kasuminome.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*The OVA premiered at select {{W|Toho Cinemas}} on September 16, 1989 with a VHS release date set for November 1, 1989. However, customers were allowed to rent the video at {{W|Video rental shop|video rental shops}} beforehand starting from October 13, 1989.<ref>https://www.suruga-ya.jp/kaitori_detail/928048848</ref><br />
*In later re-releases of the OVA, an original English ending track is added after the Japanese credits, played alongside a set of English credits for the English dubbing and production. The song is left unnamed, as well as uncredited, and has not been released outside of playing during the end credits.<br />
*[[Hirohiko Araki]] thought the OVA was really well made, especially considering the limitations on its production. However, he felt that it was a bit of a waste that it adapts both manga volumes into a single VHS. He would have liked to see the two volumes of the manga adapted separately.<ref>[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]]: ARAKI HIROHIKO</ref><br />

==Appearance==<br />
===[[Battle Tendency]]===<br />
[[File:Joseph Joestar Anime Profile.png|left|150px|frameless]]<br />
18 years old, Joseph is tall (195&nbsp;cm/6'5"), and powerfully built, with light eyes. He has short, dark and unkempt hair, parts of his bangs shooting outwards in spikes, apart from which he closely resembles his grandfather Jonathan Joestar.<br />
<br />
Joseph's primary outfit is relatively minimal and pragmatic. He wears a tank top cut above the navel, gloves studded at the knuckles, fitting pants with a leather belt, and knee-high leather boots. In Switzerland he dons a long, broad, striped scarf; and later, as a posthumous gift from [[Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli|Caesar]], a long, thin headband patterned with a row of tessellated triangles.<br />
<br />
Initially he wears a white collared shirt with tie and suspenders, and a greatcoat chequered across the shoulders. Other articles include an aviator's hat (as motorcycle gear), a knit cap, and a breathing mask designed for Ripple training. After [[Kars]] cuts off his left hand, Joseph has it replaced with a mechanical prosthetic courtesy of the German, which can already convincingly mimic human movements.<br />
<br />
Later depictions of Joseph include the aviator hat and goggles, both of which were permanently added to differentiate him from Jonathan and compliment the overall "mechanical feel" brought about by the various planes and motorcycles present in Part 2.<ref>[[JoJonium]] ''Volume 4''</ref><br />

[[File:Old Joseph Anime Profile.png|left|150px|frameless]]<br />
Joseph retains most of his health and muscularity, though his face displays his age. His hair is short and gray, and he sports a thick, well-trimmed beard.<br />
<br />
During the group's journey to Egypt, he wears an outfit not unlike the one worn by {{W|Indiana Jones}}: a fedora; a light, short-sleeved, buttonless shirt; khaki pants; dress shoes; and white gloves with dark wristbands concealing his prosthetic left hand (a result of his fight with [[Kars]]).<ref name="C115P13">Chapter 115: ''[[Chapter 115|Jotaro Kujo (2)]]'' p.13, Jotaro steals Joseph's pinky</ref> <br />
<br />
At his introduction, he is seen wearing a trench coat and a turtleneck sweater with a red gem on the neck. During the [[Dark Blue Moon (story arc)|Dark Blue Moon]] story arc, he wears a striped sailor shirt rolled up at the sleeves. It's shown during the [['Bastet' Mariah (story arc)|'Bastet' Mariah]] story arc that underneath his pants is a pair of polka dot boxers. <br />

At age 79, Joseph suffers from senility, having deterred from longevity through Ripple due to lack of motivation.<ref>[http://atmarkjojo.org/archives/19750.html ジョセフが老けこんだのは何故? → 荒木先生の回答「気の持ちよう」]</ref> While his large stature is still apparent, he is hunched over and uses a cane.<ref name="C314P2">Chapter 314: ''[[Chapter 314|Red Hot Chili Pepper (8)]]'' p.2, Okuyasu mentions Joseph's size and use of cane</ref> His sunken face is covered in wrinkles and a properly maintained beard.<br />

===Battle Tendency===<br />
[[File:JosephTemperament.png|thumb|left|Joseph fighting with a Taxi driver.]]<br />
In ''Battle Tendency'', Joseph is a hotheaded, impetuous, and confrontational young man. Quick to violently respond to the slightest provocation, Joseph would often get into brawls growing up; prior to events of the story, he had been imprisoned seven times and expelled once from school for fighting.<ref name="C73P1" /> Having no respect for authority save of his grandmother's, and later Lisa Lisa's, Joseph has antagonized policemen<ref name=":0">[[Chapter 45]]; Joseph Joestar of New York 1</ref> and mafiosi<ref>[[Chapter 47]]; Joseph Joestar of New York 3</ref> alike. Furthermore, Joseph is a foul-mouthed individual and regularly taunts his enemies, enjoying aggravating them. He notably taunted Kars when he launched him into space, claiming to have again planned everything from the beginning just to antagonize him one last time.<ref>[[Chapter 112]]; The Man who became a God</ref><br />
<br />
Joseph is a playful person and prefers fooling around over having any responsibility. By his own admission, his most hated sentences are "hard work" and "work hard",<ref>[[Chapter 71]]; Ripple Master Lisa Lisa 1</ref> and still had to be pushed to train his Ripple talent in spite of facing certain death if he didn't meet and fight Wamuu again. Joseph has a fairly goofy side and spends half of his fights enjoying having outsmarted his current enemy with incredibly zany schemes, which take his opponents by surprise by how silly said plans are at first sight. A show-off, Joseph loves being the center of attention and couldn't stand that his rival Caesar had a special technique.<ref>[[Chapter 65]]; Ultimate Warriors from Ancient Times 1</ref> With his prestidigitation talent, Joseph's boastful nature coupled with his love of pranks make him an unpredictable force in battle.<br />
[[File:Joseph salute.png|thumb|Joseph salutes [[Wamuu]] after his death.]]<br />
At the beginning of his adventure, Joseph's one redeeming trait is his devotion to his family and friends. Joseph cares deeply for his grandmother Erina Joestar, and is deeply angered when a gangster has the nerve of mentioning Speedwagon's death before her, which upset her.<ref>[[Chapter 48]]; Joseph Joestar vs. Straizo 1</ref> Joseph also cares for his "Uncle Speedwagon", who he considers like a father and Speedwagon's disappearance pushed Joseph to go look for him in Mexico. Joseph also has a knack for befriending people. Despite having been stolen his wallet, Joseph quickly befriended Smokey Brown and couldn't tolerate discrimination against him.<ref name=":0" /> In the same way, Joseph befriended Caesar Zeppeli and Lisa Lisa even though they had difficult starts. Joseph even came to respect the Pillar Man Wamuu, and gave him a last salute as he died.<ref>[[Chapter 104]]; The Warrior returns to the Wind</ref><br />
<br />
Over the course of ''Battle Tendency'', although he never really lost his overall attitude, he did develop into a strong, focused hero. In accord with his dismissal of any kind of discipline, Joseph believes that trickery and cheating are fair game in a fight as long as it isn't needlessly cruel. This results in him being a rulebreaker and once earned him a scolding when he tried to climb the Hell Climb Pillar using a rope instead of with the Ripple as intended.<ref>[[Chapter 73]]; Ripple Master Lisa Lisa Part 3</ref> Joseph possesses a peculiar sense of honor, acknowledging Esidisi's underhanded moves as somewhat noble, since he did them for his fellow Pillar Men.<ref>[[Chapter 82]], The Remains Lurk 2</ref> However, when Kars backstabbed Lisa Lisa, Joseph was furious since he sullied the memory of his companion Wamuu.<ref>[[Chapter 106]], The Bond binding Lisa Lisa and JoJo 2</ref> Thus it could be said that Joseph values kinship dearly.<br />
[[File:Joseph nice.jpg|thumb|225x225px|Joseph peeping on [[Lisa Lisa]] in the shower, unaware she is his mother.]]<br />
Joseph, being the outspoken individual that he is, does have a flirtatious side to him. He regularly comments on women's voluptuousness and was less than subtle with his advancements on his future wife Suzi Q. Joseph's antagonistic behavior toward Caesar when they first met may have been out of jealousy that he could seduce girls so easily. His perverted nature is ultimately revealed when Joseph decides to sneak a peek at a bathing Lisa Lisa, completely unaware that they were related, and was his mother, no less.<ref>[[Chapter 81]]; The Remains Lurk 1</ref> However, when Lisa Lisa practically revealed herself as his mother, Joseph was more concerned by her actual age.<ref>[[Chapter 97]]; The Wind, The Chariot, and Wamuu 3</ref> It is stated that Joseph is picky about choosing a girlfriend, although her smarts don't matter as long as she is cute.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 72}} tailpiece</ref><br />
<br />
It is revealed in flashbacks that Joseph collects comics and was a fan of {{w|Superman}} when he was young.<ref>[[Chapter 46]]; Joseph Joestar of New York 2</ref> He becomes a fan of [[Rohan Kishibe]]'s works when he is much older.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
===Stardust Crusaders===<br />
[[File:Oh my god anime.jpg|left|thumb|"OH! MY! GOD!"]]<br />
In ''Stardust Crusaders'', Joseph has considerably mellowed out, having lost much of his aggression and laziness. Still irascible toward Japanese in general, due to [[Sadao Kujo|a Japanese man]] marrying his beloved daughter Holy,<ref name="C113">{{Ch| Chapter 113}}</ref> Joseph is otherwise nice to his grandson and Noriaki Kakyoin. His self-confidence and penchant for befriending people is still present, notably with the appearance of his new friend Muhammad Avdol, and his tendency to approach the locals first and communicate with them,<ref name="C124">{{Ch| Chapter 124}}</ref> overall being the one to deal business with them. For instance he takes it upon himself to order food in Hong Kong,<ref name="C262">{{Ch| Chapter 262}}</ref> gladly approaches an Indian barman to try sugar cane juice,<ref name="C151">{{Ch| Chapter 151}}</ref> tries to salute a hotel owner in Pakistan<ref name="C154">{{Ch| Chapter 154}}</ref> as well as order shishkebab in Karachi.<ref name="C160">{{Ch| Chapter 160}}</ref><br />
[[File:Joseph fooling around.png|thumb|Joseph telling [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]] and [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]] to stop fooling around.]]<br />
Joseph is much more responsible than in ''Battle Tendency, ''being more proactive in his quest to Egypt, and also sometimes reminding his younger companions of their goals when they are distracted. Years of peace and the appearance of the much stranger Stands means that Joseph lost some of his talents at outsmarting enemies, and is often the victim of the Stands he encounters. However, Joseph still has a few tricks left up his aged sleeve, and is capable of outsmarting enemies, having successfully cheated against Telence D'Arby,<ref name="C237">{{Ch| Chapter 237}}</ref> and figuring out The World time stop's limits.<ref name="C255">{{Ch| Chapter 255}}</ref><br />
<br />
Joseph's goofy side is also still present, and his somewhat frequent failures at blending with the local culture and his struggle at battling Stands are a constant source of humor. Moreover, his boastful nature leads him to occasional goofs, such as misreading Chinese so much he orders dishes completely different from what he figured,<ref name="C124" /> or pretending to know how to ride camels only to ridicule himself.<ref name="C166">{{Ch| Chapter 166}}</ref> At the end of the saga, he demonstrates again his love for pranks, briefly making Jotaro believe that he was a resurrected DIO.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 265}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Diamond is Unbreakable===<br />
[[File:Joseph cutting himself.png|thumb|Joseph cuts himself so [[Josuke Higashikata]] can find [[Shizuka Joestar|Shizuka]].]]<br />
In ''Diamond is Unbreakable'', Joseph's advancing age has weakened his mind and he appears to have become somewhat senile. Joseph is now a pacified and even weak-willed man, even sadly accepting Josuke's demand that he not interact with [[Tomoko Higashikata|Josuke's mother]].<ref name="c315">{{Ch|Chapter 315}}</ref> Despite this, Joseph is still a well-meaning old man who is willing to risk his life for others<ref name="c317">{{Ch|Chapter 317}}</ref> and is nice enough to offer some counsel to Yukako about her crush.<ref name="c348">{{Ch|Chapter 348}}</ref> <br />
Living in Morioh seems to have done him good, and at the end of the part, Joseph is more lively and happier, expressing confidence in the youth of Morioh at protecting the small town.<ref name="c439">{{Ch|Chapter 439}}</ref><br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Ripple]]===<br />
{{Main|Ripple}}<br />
<br />
Joseph inherited the Ripple and its capabilities from his grandfather, [[Jonathan Joestar]], as well as his mother, [[Lisa Lisa]]. In addition, he uses techniques commonly present in stage magic to confuse his foes. After his Ripple training, Joseph frequently combines his Ripple with other objects to perform complex and creative attacks. Later in ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', he shows that he is able use the Ripple in conjunction with his [[Stand]], [[Hermit Purple]]. However, as he grew older, due to neglecting his Ripple training, he became unable to do the same things he was capable of when he was younger and ended up aging at a relatively normal pace.<br />
====Attacks====<br />
During his battle with the Pillar Men, Joseph had demonstrated several techniques similar to his grandfather's.<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT|Part2=SDC<br />

|AImage = Overdrive.gif<br />
|Desc = The most basic application of the Ripple, where the user attacks with either their limbs or an object imbued with the Ripple. Joseph first uses it on a bottle of coke, causing the cap to fly off and break the finger bone of a police officer. He mostly uses it by charging his hand with Ripple and striking with a chop. Joseph uses it against [[Kars]] in a duel and shatters Kars's Light Blade which could cut through anything without fail up until that point.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Ripple Hypnosis<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 46}} / {{Ep|Episode 10}}<br />
|AImage = <br />
|Desc = When he's young, Joseph uses the Ripple on a pilot's head while Speedwagon's plane is being hijacked, which knocks the pilot out. He later uses this technique on a pigeon, controlling it to go inside the mouth of a woman that Caesar hypnotized. In his final battle against [[Wamuu]], he controls the [[Vampire Horses]] by using the Ripple on their reins.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Ripple Hair Attack<br />
|JPN = 波紋ヘア・アタック<br />
|Romaji = Hamon Hea Atakku<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 57}} / {{Ep|Episode 12}}<br />
|AImage = RippleHairAttack.gif<br />
|Desc = Joseph infuses his Ripple into strands of hair to make them hard enough to form a barrier, which blocks incoming projectiles. Joseph uses it to block bullets fired by [[Santana]] after ripping a fistful of [[Rudol von Stroheim|Stroheim]]'s hair.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Ripple Beat<br />
|JPN = 波紋のビート<br />
|Romaji = Hamon no Bīto<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 74}} / {{Ep|Episode 16}}<br />
|AImage = RippleBeat.gif<br />
|Desc = An advanced adhesive technique, Joseph imbues both his fists and feet with the Ripple. To prevent himself from falling down a pillar covered with oil, he flips himself upwards and uses his hands to stick to the blast of oil. He then slides across and propels himself upwards, gaining more distance than he could from normally climbing or jumping.<br />

|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 80}} / {{Ep|Episode 17}}<br />
|AImage = RippleBeatOverdrive.gif<br />
|Desc = Joseph traps the opponent with ropes made of 100% wool, then imbues the ropes with the Ripple. It has enough force to slice through [[Esidisi]]'s face.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Rebuff Overdrive<br />

|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 103}} / {{Ep|Episode 22}}<br />
|AImage = RebuffOverdrive.gif<br />
|Desc = Joseph charges Ripple into his elbows and delivers a powerful strike. This was used during Joseph's fight with Wamuu to retaliate his falling attack.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Zoom Punch<br />
|JPN = ズームパンチ<br />
|Romaji = Zūmu Panchi<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 106}} / {{Ep|Episode 23}}<br />
|AImage = <br />
|Desc = Similar to his grandfather's move, Joseph uses the Ripple to dislocate his shoulder and arm to strike opponents at a longer range.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
====American Clackers====<br />
After pressing himself to come up with his own special attack, Joseph invented a fighting style that involved infusing the Ripple into a pair of normal American {{W|Clackers}}. Once infused, the Clackers become a lethal weapon, as the user is able to rip through an opponent's skin using them, and from there the Ripple can enter the body, thus inflicting massive damage. Because of their shape and aerodynamic design, someone who is trained in the Clackers' use is able to easily maneuver them around their body, even having the ability to make them seemingly disappear by hiding them behind their back.<ref name="C067">''Chapter 67-68: [[Special Attack: JoJo Clackers!]]''</ref> The Clackers would end up being unusable after [[Wired Beck]] sliced the strings that were connected to both Clackers.<ref name="C94">Chapter 94: ''[[Chapter 94|Climbing out of the Fortified Hotel]]''</ref><br />
<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Clacker Volley<br />
|JPN = クラッカーヴォレイ<br />
|Romaji = Kurakkā Vorei<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 67}} / {{Ep|Episode 15}}<br />
|AImage = ClackerVolley.gif<br />
|Desc = Joseph chucks American {{W|Clackers}} infused with the Ripple into his opponent's direction. This can be done a number of ways, but to produce the best and most surprising effect, he can hide them behind his back. From there, Joseph can slingshot them from behind his back at the enemy in all directions.<br />
}}<br />
{{Tech|Part=BT<br />
|Name = Clacker Boomerang<br />
|JPN = クラッカーブーメラン<br />
|Romaji = Kurakkā Būmeran<br />
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 68}} / {{Ep|Episode 15}}<br />
|AImage = ClackerBoomerang.gif<br />
|Desc = Joseph throws both pairs of Clackers infused with the Ripple into a beam or pillar behind the opponent, fooling the foe into assuming that he missed. One gets stuck onto whatever it was thrown on and starts spinning, latching onto the second pair of Clackers. The second pair then flings back towards the opponent from behind, much like how a boomerang works.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
====Other Equipment====<br />
[[File:Joseph tommy gun gif.gif|thumb|220x220px|Joseph using a Tommy gun in his fight against [[Straizo]]]]<br />
Other than his Clackers, Joseph has used a number of other weapons and tools in conjunction with the Ripple and his strategic wit.<br />
<br />
*He used Ripple to pop the cap off of a cola bottle at a corrupt police officer and two tequila bottles' corks against a pair of Nazi soldiers, in the form of high speed projectiles.<br />
*He used a Tommy gun to shoot [[Straizo]] and then strike him with the stock charged with the Ripple. This was followed by secretively attaching a grenade to Straizo's scarf, the pin of which was attached by strings to the pins of several other grenades Joseph had managed to plant on Straizo's back.<br />
*He used the yarn of a wool hat (which is highly conductive of the Ripple) to form a net underneath the spike-filled arena to use against [[Esidisi]].<br />
*He wielded a large sledgehammer in the chariot race against [[Wamuu]], which he slathered in oil to improve its conduction of the Ripple. Joseph also used a heavy crossbow to fire a Ripple-charged iron ball at the wall of the arena, where it rode around the entire wall before launching off and hitting Wamuu from behind.<br />
<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Hermit Purple}}<br />
<br />
Joseph's Stand, '''[[Hermit Purple]]''', manifests itself as a tangle of thorny vines, which Joseph can wield as both a weapon and a hazardous defense. Furthermore, it has been shown to conduct the [[Ripple]], which makes Hermit Purple one of the more effective Stands against those weak to it such as Vampires. Joseph develops the Stand after DIO pierces Jonathan's body with the [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], upon which it responded to DIO and Enya awakening [[The World]].<br />
<br />
One of its special abilities is to use cameras, televisions and other things to perform a form of fortune telling referred to as spirit photography. When introduced, it was demonstrated that he had to smash an expensive Polaroid camera to do this, and the camera would dispense a picture of DIO. Later on he is seen using televisions for this ability without having to damage them.<br />
<br />
{{StandBox<br />
|Part=SDC<br />
|Image=HermitPurpleMangaAv.png<br />

|power=D|speed=C|range=D|stamina=A|precision=D|potential=E<br />
}}<br />
Hermit Purple is also shown as being able to connect to electronics. Joseph can then check the electronics for tampering, or even control them (such as, he uses Hermit Purple on a TV, and can use it to change channels)<br />
<br />
The Hermit card of the Tarot primarily gives a meaning of solitude, introspective, or soul-searching, which could symbolize Joseph's lifelong journey. It also carries a more direct meaning of teaching or advising, which is Joseph's main role in Part 3 on the subject of Stands.<br />
====Mastery====<br />
[[File:HermitPurple.png|thumb|Joseph's Stand|250px]]<br />
Joseph is quite adept at using his Stand, although he does so imperfectly. Joseph notably understands how versatile Hermit Purple's ability is and that it can be used on cameras, TV sets, and even dust to divine information. However during ''Stardust Crusaders'', Joseph brutally breaks cameras to obtain spirit photographies whereas it is demonstrated that a simple tap will grant the same results.<br />
<br />
Joseph also manages to exploit the vine-like nature of his Stand to its fullest, using it as a controllable rope to swing from place to place or tie enemies up. By combining it to the Ripple, Joseph also made Hermit Purple an effective but limited defense against DIO.<br />
<br />
===Acrobatics===<br />
Joseph is an exceptionally agile fighter, performing acrobatics on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
Being quite athletic, Joseph distinguishes himself through feats of agility, in contrast to his grandfather [[Jonathan Joestar]] who performed feats of strength. He can for instance perform an aerial cartwheel when [[Esidisi]] grips his fist to escape the lock (all the while setting up a string to slice his arm),<ref name="C077">{{Ch|Chapter 77}}</ref> has performed impressive jumps, for instance pole vaulting into [[Wamuu]]'s chariot to escape being crushed<ref name="C099">{{Ch|Chapter 99}}</ref> or a somersault while sliding underneath a layer of oil,<ref name="C074">{{Ch|Chapter 74}}</ref> and has managed to perform ''corde lisse'' tricks against Kars.<ref name="C108">{{Ch|Chapter 108}}</ref><br />
<br />
As he aged, Joseph's skills in that regard became less relevant, although he was still in shape and could still swing across rooftops with [[Hermit Purple]].<br />
<br />
===Wit and Trickery===<br />
Joseph Joestar's mind is his deadliest and most valuable asset.<br />
<br />
Joseph's favorite strategy is to psych out his opponents. To do so, he notably predicts what his enemies will say next or more commonly provokes them to unnerve them and make them predictable in their move. Joseph is incredibly proficient in analyzing the personalities of those he faces and guessing information about them by observing small details about them, then shamelessly exploits any character flaw they have in order to return whatever they will be doing next against them, most commonly their overconfidence. Of note are particular quirks such as Wamuu's pride as a warrior or Kars' obsession for the Red Stone of Aja. However, Joseph is unknowingly as susceptible to these tactics as his opponents, leading him to be psyched out himself by Esidisi.<br />
[[File:Joseph bamboozle.gif|thumb|220x220px|Joseph is a master of trickery and deception]]<br />
Having great prestidigitation skills, his goofy demeanor serving as the greatest distraction and facade he can rely on, Joseph is able to attack from unexpected angles or make critical moves under the guise of simple stupidity or ignorance; Joseph will often use one obvious strategy hiding another, more advanced one to fool and trap his opponents.<br />
<br />
Joseph is maybe the most proficient man in the series at using his environment to his advantage, the Ripple increasing the danger and combative capability of any item he gets his hands on. Among others, Joseph has used mirrors, glass shots, hair, a well, pasta, pigeons, wool hats, icicles, pebbles, and an entire plane as tools and weapons to grasp the upper hand, each use having had applied efficiency and imagination. Joseph also keeps a number of tools handy just in case, concealing weapons on his person for when he expects danger.<br />
<br />
When cornered, Joseph can still rely on his particularly quick wits to come up with a viable solution in an near-instant. The most successful instance being Joseph using the Red Stone of Aja to amplify Ultimate Life Form Kars' Ripple Attack so as to cause a volcanic eruption and send him into space.<br />
<br />
Joseph's tendency to use so many tricks stems from his particular mindset. He considers that in combat, every move is fair-play with the exception of involving civilians and being needlessly cruel. Thus he isn't bound by any code and doesn't hesitate to flee, or cheat if the ends justify the means, as seen against the D'Arby brothers.<br />
<br />
*'''Near-Death Survival Technique''': After he lit his scarf on fire, Joseph told Kars that he was putting his life in danger so he would be pushed beyond his own limits to find a new technique before the flame reached him. This was actually part of a plan to trick Kars, who would be too distracted to notice Joseph's plan to save [[Lisa Lisa]].<br />
<br />
===Secret Technique===<br />
[[File:Secret_technique.gif|thumb|250px|Joseph performing his secret technique]]The Joestar family's "secret technique". Usually utilized as a last resort, Joseph invented this move to use when battling the enemy seemed hopeless. In reality, it was actually used to stall time in order for Joseph to formulate a plan. It was also used by his grandson [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] later in the series during his fight against [[Rubber Soul]].<ref name="C138">''Chapter 138: [[Yellow Temperance (4)]]''</ref><br />
<br />
The secret technique consists of carefully and quickly retreating from the opponent, while keeping a close eye on surroundings for things to use to defeat or assist in defeating them. To the untrained eye, it looks like Joseph is simply running away like a coward, augmented by his panicked shouting when doing so. He will also use this technique to try to lure an enemy away from others.<br />
<br />
===Flying===<br />
Joseph is a proficient pilot despite having crashed four times in his life. He is able to fly a large range of planes from a small Cessna to a Junker and once saved the lives of his companions and civilians by controlling the crash of the passenger airplane they were on. It is unknown when and where Joseph learned to pilot, though it is possible that he figured it out in the instances where he was forced to control an aircraft.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
*[[Jonathan Joestar]]: Joseph had no real knowledge of his grandfather prior to his battle with [[Straizo]] because of [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon|Speedwagon]] keeping the events of the past secret. However, Joseph holds great respect towards Jonathan due to his relationship with Erina and friendship with Speedwagon. When Caesar insults Jonathan, it enrages Joseph that he brought up the past. Joseph's respect for his grandfather is even more apparent in his later years, as he's shown to be angry that [[Dio Brando|DIO]] is now using Jonathan's body as his own.<br />
*[[Erina Pendleton|Erina Joestar]]: Joseph and Erina are very close due to Erina having raised Joseph all his youth in the absence of his parents. Erina loves Joseph dearly but is quite severe with him because of his indiscipline. Prior to meeting Lisa Lisa, Joseph only respects her authority and is very attached to her, being angry and becoming physically violent that one would ruin a coat she gave him or that someone would even make her distraught.<br />
<br />
[[File:Joseph on the ropes.png|thumb|250px|Joseph desperately holding on to the rope holding Lisa Lisa]]<br />
*[[Lisa Lisa]]: Joseph never knew his mother and thought she died in an accident. He meets Lisa Lisa thinking she is an unrelated Ripple user and her severity and prowess in the Ripple quickly shut Joseph's arrogance and belligerence. Joseph respects Lisa Lisa's authority and becomes close to her, getting angry when Kars humiliates Lisa Lisa to get at him. Joseph also finds Lisa Lisa attractive and has opportunistically peeped on her, (unaware of their relation); he is notably dismayed to find that she is 50 years old and makes fun of her for it.<br />
*[[Suzi Q]]: Joseph expresses some attraction towards Suzi Q upon meeting her early on in ''Battle Tendency'', though does show some degree of exasperation at her air-headedness, notably when he realizes that she had not sent a telegram bearing news that he was alive to his family and friends. Both eventually marry and presumably live a happy life. It is shown that they enjoy teasing each other. Fifty years later into the marriage, Suzi Q is shown to trust her husband completely and believes that he had never failed her once. However, in Part 4, she is said to have been enraged when Joseph had an affair with Tomoko Higashikata. Her anger is mentioned again when Joseph brings home an adopted Shizuka, who Suzi Q initially believed to be another illegitimate child.<br />
<br />
*[[Holy Kujo]]: Joseph is incredibly attached to his daughter and is shown to be very close to her. Both are comfortable enough to tickle each other in public, and Joseph developed a hatred toward Japanese people in general because of Sadao Kujo taking Holy to live in Japan, where he couldn't meet her or his grandson Jotaro very often. Being her father, he naturally cares for her, becoming angry at Jotaro for disrespecting her (despite the latter's good intentions for doing so) and immediately becoming worried for his daughter's health after seeing her affected harmfully by her own Stand.<br />
*[[Sadao Kujo]]: While there is no on-screen interaction between them since he is the man who made his daughter move to Japan, Joseph presumably greatly disliked his son-in-law. As evidence of this, Joseph basically stated that Sadao was responsible for his hatred for the Japanese (with a few exceptions).<br />
<br />
[[File:Jotaro plays against Terence T D'Arby (Anime).png|thumb|250px|left|Jotaro and Joseph outwit D'Arby together in video games]]<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Joseph is close to his grandson. Although Jotaro's aloofness makes their relationship difficult, Joseph's friendly nature makes it so they ultimately appreciate each other as family members, and Joseph trusts Jotaro's ability. Throughout the course of the series, he and Jotaro are able to get along more easily and eventually work together to defeat [[Telence T. D'Arby]] in DIO's mansion without even a need for words to understand the same plan of action. Joseph's apparent death and desecration by DIO notably enraged Jotaro. By the time of Part 4, Jotaro isn't as cold with Joseph, and Joseph confides more in Jotaro, sharing with him his observation of the spirit and will of the residents of Morioh.<br />
*[[Josuke Higashikata]]: While his relationship with his illegitimate son got off to a difficult start, Joseph understands his son's concerns and follows through with them. He refrains from seeing Tomoko and understands his son's frustrations in keeping him from getting lost in town. Joseph does, however, earn Josuke's respect after risking his life to save Shizuka, and the two are regularly seen hanging out together during the rest of Part 4. Joseph respects his son's sense of justice and trusts that Josuke will protect Morioh. It doesn't stop Josuke from stealing Joseph's wallet.<br />
*[[Shizuka Joestar]]: Joseph initially found Shizuka as a baby abandoned by her parents and decided to adopt her. When issues with Shizuka began to manifest and when Shizuka found her own life threatened by her powers, Joseph took up ways to calm those issues with makeup and slit his wrist to use the blood to find her respectively. Later, he is seen carrying her around as his own child and by the end of Part 4, brings her back to America to raise her as his own child.<br />
<br />
===Friends===<br />
<br />
*[[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]]: Despite his cheeky attitude, Joseph cared for Speedwagon, and viewed him as an uncle. When Joseph received news of Speedwagon's supposed death, he becomes enraged and attacks Straizo without a second thought. Similarly, when he receives news that Speedwagon was still alive, he is seen happily tearing up before rushing to the Nazi base in order to break him out.<br />
*[[Smokey Brown]]: Despite having his wallet stolen by Smokey, Joseph bears him no ill will and actually helps bail him from the discriminating actions of the policemen who accost him, in the same manner, that his great-grandfather George Joestar did with Dario Brando. In a time when African Americans faced racial prejudice, Joseph backs up Smokey's rights to sit in a restaurant and beats up the man who insulted him. Smokey becomes grateful to Joseph for saving him and accompanies him throughout New York, and later with Speedwagon at Joseph's showdown with Kars.<br />
<br />
[[File:SHIZAAAAAA.png|thumb|230px|Calling Caesar's name in agony]]<br />
*[[Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli]]: Due to their conflicting personalities, the two did not get along at all during their first encounter. It wasn't until their climb to the top of the pillar where Joseph began to respect Caesar's skills and gradually saw him as a fairly proficient partner during their 26-day training session. Their trust in each other grew to a point where Joseph expected Caesar to finish the missing link to the icicle chain after having fallen off the cliff during their first encounter with Kars. After Caesar's death by the hands of Wamuu, Joseph openly cried out in sorrow and promised to avenge him. After the announcement of the chariot race, Joseph donned Caesar's headband and during the final showdown used it to defeat Wamuu, claiming his reason for victory being that Caesar was with him the whole time.<br />
*[[Rudol von Stroheim]]: Joseph's personality makes it so he judges other people based on their individual actions and "soul". Because of this, he was never prejudiced towards Rudol's occupation as a Nazi. During the battle against Santana, Joseph is shocked by Stroheim's selfless act of self-destruction and briefly mourns his supposed death. He teams up with Stroheim during the final battle with Kars, when Joseph kamikazes a plane into an active volcano. Having jumped out of the plane before then, Stroheim grabs hold of Joseph and sacrifices his own cybernetic legs to cushion the fall, thus saving both their lives. As a final gift to Joseph, he replaces his severed left hand with a mechanical one.<br />
*[[Loggins]]: While the 2 have had limited onscreen interaction Loggins personally trained Joseph in Ripple. While Joseph admitted to hating Loggins for putting him through a hellish training. One of the reasons Joseph tried to kill Esidisi was to avenge Loggins. After the battle, Joseph thanks Loggins for 'torturing' him.<br />
*[[Wamuu]]: Ironically, one of the closest and most meaningful friendships Joseph shared was with Wamuu, whom he vowed to slay to avenge the death of Caesar. Though he already admires the Pillar Man's skill and cunning as a warrior, he truly comes to respect his nobility upon finding Caesar's blood bubble of antidote left intact by Wamuu to honor his opponent's bravery; and graciously returned the respect the ancient warrior afforded Caesar by easing the pain of his death with his own blood. The two men parted in warm friendship, and Joseph notably regards Wamuu as a friend enough to be enraged by Kars' ambush of Lisa Lisa, the sheer cowardice of which spat in the face of everything the proud and honorable warrior stood for in life.<br />
<br />
[[File:Part3GroupPhoto.png|thumb|250px|left|The Stardust Crusaders]]<br />
*[[Muhammad Avdol]]: Out of the group, Joseph presumably knew Avdol the longest, having met him in Egypt prior to the events of Part 3. Since then, Joseph has formed a good friendship with the Egyptian and had even trusted him to help Jotaro unlock the full potential of his Stand through force. During their later journey to Egypt, the two fought alongside each other on several occasions, one of the more memorable instances being their battle against [[Mariah]]. At the end of the series, alongside Polnareff and Jotaro, he mourns the death of his companion.<br />
*[[Noriaki Kakyoin]]: Having joined them on their journey to Egypt, Kakyoin got along well with the rest of the group. While his interactions with Joseph specifically were minor, Joseph usually went to him to crack jokes and express his comedic nature (due to Kakyoin being able to tolerate it the most). Towards the end of the series, Kakyoin's last act before dying was shooting the clock tower with his Emerald Splash, in order to help Joseph discover the secret behind [[The World]]'s ability to stop time. Joseph, whilst hiding his grief, responds by treating the message with upmost importance and swearing that Kakyoin's death would not be in vain.<br />
*[[Jean Pierre Polnareff]]: Meeting as enemies, Polnareff joins the group during their journey to Egypt and gradually becomes good friends with everyone. At the end of Part 3, Joseph and Polnareff along with Jotaro mourn the loss of their friends. Joseph knew that Polnareff had no one in France, so he offered for him to come with him to America. Polnareff refused the offer, stating that despite being alone, France was his homeland. Joseph also mentions that it'd be lonely if Polnareff didn't come with him. Before leaving, the group embraces one last time, throwing out friendly insults, and promising to meet each other again sometime in the future.<br />
*[[Iggy]]: When first introduced, Iggy acted much like a stray and initially hated everyone in the group. After the fight with [[N'Doul]], he would willingly tag along with them, but during fights, he'd usually disappear. It wasn't until his fight with Pet Shop where his inner thoughts came to light; at this point, he seemed to understand Joseph was the leader of the group. While the interaction between the two was fairly minor, after sacrificing himself for Polnareff to defeat Vanilla Ice, Joseph and the group acknowledged his heroism and mourned his death along with the others.<br />
*[[Tomoko Higashikata]]: Despite Joseph's dislike of the Japanese in his late 60s due to his daughter marrying one, Joseph had an affair with Tomoko in 1983 when he is 63 years old and had an illegitimate son with her, although he was unaware of his son until several years later. Joseph later respects Josuke's wishes to not talk to Tomoko and he only sees her from far away.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Straizo]]: Due to him claiming to have killed Speedwagon himself as well as trying to kill him and his grandmother, Joseph bore a great hatred toward Straizo. Straizo underestimated Joseph as a warrior, but at the end respected him enough to warn him about the incoming danger of the Pillar Men and reveal that Speedwagon was alive.<br />
*[[Santana]]: The first of the Pillar Man Joseph encountered. It was him that allowed Joseph to prepare for the other three's defeat. Santana thought little of Joseph, but was intrigued by his Ripple ability and annoyed by his general demeanor. For his part, Joseph wanted to leave Santana alone, while teasing him and even entertaining the idea that he was neutral if not for the Nazis actions against him. However, Joseph's indifference transformed into belligerence when Santana attacked Speedwagon, using everything in his power at that time to defeat the Pillar Man.<br />
*[[Donovan]]: While there is little interaction between the two, the fact that Donovan attacked Joseph made the two enemies. During their fight Joseph filled Donovan with cactus prickles and tied him to a cactus, but not before interrogating him and having him confirm Speedwagon's status.<br />
*[[Esidisi]]: Initially, Joseph viewed him as an enemy for implanting a [[Wedding Ring of Death]] in his neck. After killing one of his masters, Esidisi was engaged in a duel by Joseph and fought him. Esidisi thought little of him and more than anyone else, proved a match for his wits. In the end, Joseph successfully outsmarted Esidisi and destroyed his body. Joseph became enraged when he possessed Suzi Q, and with help from Caesar, destroyed him. He eventually came to respect the Pillar Man for the extremes he went to in order to procure success for his comrades.<br />
<br />
[[File:Kars final blow.png|thumb|250px|Kars vs Joseph]]<br />
*[[Kars]]: Kars was initially just one of the Pillar Men to defeat in Joseph's eyes. Likewise, Joseph merely was a Ripple user to kill to Kars' own. The former was annoyed by the latter's tendency to use unpredictable tactics until the former cheated in his duel with Lisa Lisa, dishonoring the pride of his comrades in the process. Joseph then came to intensely hate him for his underhanded methods and once he became the Ultimate Life Form, Joseph made great efforts in order to defeat him, including trying to send him into a volcano at the cost of his own life. Kars responded by cutting off Joseph's left arm and their fight ended in Joseph unintentionally sending Kars out into space, but not before mocking him one last time.<br />
*[[Nena]]: Nena is one of many Stand Users sent by DIO to kill him, Nena would constantly mock Joseph for his age and was shocked when he outsmarted her, allowing him to once again use his trick of predicting an opponent's next line.<br />
*[[Steely Dan]]: Dan and Joseph first met in a haggling contest (which Dan won), but after Dan's identity is revealed, he infected Joseph with his Stand and used him as a hostage so the others wouldn't attack him. Through his Stand, Dan unknowingly though not unintentionally embarrasses Joseph in public, forcing him to attract a crowd. After Kakyoin and Polnareff free Joseph of his control, Jotaro gets revenge for him.<br />
*[[Mariah]]: Mariah is one of many Stand Users sent by DIO to kill him, during their confrontation, Mariah magnetized Joseph and Avdol using her Stand ability, then tried to kill them using their resulting handicap. Despite their antagonism and wide age gap, Mariah finds the older Joseph attractive and states she might've become his lover if she didn't find DIO more attractive.<br />
*[[Dio Brando|DIO]]: At first, Joseph was unaware of his existence due to Speedwagon making sure to keep the secret of the Vampire's existence prior to his battle with Straizo. He eventually learned the whole truth and came to despise the villain for using his grandfather, Jonathan's body as well as causing his daughter Holy to become deathly ill due to his presence. He embarked on a mission alongside his grandson, Jotaro to find DIO and kill him in order to save Holy.<br />

<br />
In 2015,<ref>https://www.discogs.com/Unlucky-Morpheus-Vampir/release/10128090</ref> '''"Unlucky Morpheus"''', released their 5th EP, "Vampir".

Many references are played out in this short scene, most being homages to [[Stardust Crusaders]]. Upon meeting his date partner, Toucan screams "WRYYYYY", [[Dio Brando]]'s popular cry. As he does so, the camera spins around showing him performing DIO's signature pose from [[Chapter 117]]. All while this occurs the katakana for "Menacing" floats around Toucan. Toucan suddenly stops time, and a [[Stand]]-like figure resembling [[The World]] is temporarily summoned. When Toucan stops time he points towards the viewer in a similar fashion to Dio in [[Chapter 253]] when he first reveals his stand. Once time is stopped, Toucan performs Jotaro's iconic pose from [[Volume 14]]. Afterward, he exclaims "Yare yare daze", Jotaro's signature catchphrase. Finally, once time has resumed, Toucan's co-worker, Lizard, begins mimicking the sound of a phone ringing, similar to how [[Vinegar Doppio]] does in [[Vento Aureo]]<br />

In episode 6, there is a scene of Ichiko looking like [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] after returning Keita Tsuwabuki his handkerchief. For the same scene, in chapter 9 of the manga, we only find a quote from Josuke's Speech about "wearing new underwear on New Year's Day". In chapter 21 of the manga, Nadeshiko Adenokouji expresses her jealousy and rage with Ichiko and Ranamaru Rindou, resembling the scene when Josuke and [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] are being attacked by [[Yoshihiro Kira|Yoshihiro]] in [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]]'s house in ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]''. In Chapter 32, the scene of a random girl attacking Bobby resembles the scene of [[Esidisi]] attacking [[Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli|Caesar]] after having taken control of [[Suzi Q]]'s body, in ''[[Battle Tendency]]''. In chapter 40, a Binbōgami Item turns a pumpkin into a horse carriage that resembles one of the chariots used during the chariot race between [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] and [[Wamuu]], also in ''Part 2''.<br />

Koyoharu Gotouge, the manga artist of {{W|Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba}}, is a fan of JoJo according to their first editor, Tatsuhiko Katayama. This is confirmed in a twitcasting Q&A session from [https://schoolof.shonenjump.com/ School of Jump] where Gotouge reveals the three series that influenced Demon Slayer were JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Naruto, and Bleach.<ref>https://w.atwiki.jp/kimetsunoyaiba/pages/64.html</ref> Particular influences from JoJo include the breathing method being similar to the [[Ripple]], and the motif of the immortal demon Muzan being reminiscent of [[Dio Brando]].<ref>[https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/17760339/ Kimetsu no Yaiba -- Tatsuhiko Katayama Interview]</ref><br />
<br />
In a specific article on Gotouge, they list JoJo's Bizarre Adventure as the manga they want to re-read the most.<br />
<br />
There are several other homages to JoJo throughout the manga.<br />
<br />
In Chapter 129, Inosuke charges through a window yelling "WRYYYYYY", which is the battle cry mainly used by [[Dio Brando]] but also a few other characters in JoJo.<br />
<br />
In Chapter 160, Doma sticks his finger into his skull, just like DIO does after drinking [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]]'s blood.<br />
<br />
Demons in the series like Muzan are also capable of transferring blood through their fingers as Dio does.<br />

One of the arcs has the protagonists entering a haunted inn that services spiritual beings called "stands" (which are actually just ghosts), so that they may attain the happiness necessary for them to reach the afterlife. The "stands" may possess the "stand user" to grant him special abilities, which parody the conventional [[Stand]] naming derived from musical themes. The anime equivalent of the arc has {{w|Gintoki Sakata}} defining a "stand" while [[Star Platinum]] appears as an example, donning Gintoki's trademark attire, and includes a reference to Araki Hirohiko as a "backward-aging fairy". The main antagonist of the arc, Oiwa, also uses Star Platinum's battle cry "ORAORAORA".<br />

<br />
She can also obtain the "Hyperventilator" which looks like Joseph's training mask from Part 2, with its description "A mask designed to push the wearer to his or her physical limit." The "Voice changer" item is a color swap of the Hyperventilator.<br />

The "Gambler's Ring" item has a description which reads "A ring that bestows both '''luck and pluck''' to would-be gamblers."<br />

Late into the game, the player can be challenged by NPC Orlok Dracule, or O.D., to a secret boss fight. Upon his defeat, he gives Miriam a shard with the powerful ability "Standstill" that allows her to stop time. While the spell itself is inspired by the Stopwatch sub-weapon from the ''Castlevania'' series, the audiovisual presentation is distinctly different and in clear reference to The World; The visual effect of Standstill's activation resembles The World's time stop from the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA)|OVA]], while the sound effect replicates that of the time stop from the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders|Stardust Crusaders anime]].<ref>https://youtu.be/hqvEcElt4Gw?t=209</ref><br />

|The Danganronpa series features many references, scattered all across its three main games. <br />
In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc:<br />
*During his initial introduction, the protagonist, Makoto Naegi, points out that he does not have a [[Stand]]. <br />
*The Japanese delinquent Mondo Oowada is a homage to [[Josuke Higashikata]], sharing Josuke's hairstyle and is easily offended when people make fun of it. He is also the leader of a motorcycle gang named the [[Crazy Diamond]]s.<br />
*The first execution of the game, The 1000 Blows, has Leon Kuwata being hit 1000 times with baseballs, similar to how [[Jolyne Cujoh]] defeats [[Miraschon]]. <br />
*During the optional bath peek on the 3rd day, one of the students, Hifumi Yamada, offers Makoto to [[Pucci|count prime numbers to calm himself down]].<br />
*The villain of the game, Junko Enoshima, has multiple personalities, with one of them constantly acting as Dio and saying "Muda, Muda, Muda" during her Machinegun Talk Battle, and making the JoJo pose. <br />
*One of the items the player can gift is called the Meteorite Arrowhead, a blatant reference to the [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]]. <br />
<br />
In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (also known as Super Danganronpa 2):<br />
*The character Teruteru Hanamura mentioning that people can tell if others are lying by the taste of their sweat. <br />
*During an argument between the two, Monokuma attacks Monomi with a [[Heaven's Door]] parody, and in another occasion attacks her with a flurry of punches while screaming "ORA ORA ORA!!!" and throwing her into a trashcan. <br />
*Coach Nekomaru seems to be a homage to [[Jotaro Kujo]], with elongated, strong cheekbones (stylized as black, thin lines running from his eyes) and an open, black school uniform adorned with oversized chains.<br />
*During her first fight against Coach Nekomaru, Akane Owari screams "MUDADADADADA", a mixture of [[Crazy Diamond]]'s and both [[The World]] and [[Gold Experience]]'s battle cries. <br />
*While discussing the fictional videogame "Twilight Syndrome's Murder Mystery", Ibuki Mioda states that "TWILIGHT SYNDROME'S SECRET HIDDEN PASSAGEWAYS ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!" The sentence, alongside the mannerisms of speech and dialect she adopts for this sentence and this sentence only, are a probable a reference to [[Rudol von Stroheim]] and his infamous quote, "GERMAN TECHNOLOGY IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!"<br />
<br />
In Danganronpa 3: Killing Harmony:<br />
*Tsumugi Shirogane states that "thinking logically in these situations is of no use", and that she has decided to "eventually stop thinking altogether", mentioning [[Kars]]' final fate.<br />
*Gonta Gokuhara states that a thing he heard gentlemen do is "go on adventures to find [[Stone Mask|stone masks]]".<br />
*It is revealed that Ryoma Hoshi had a promising career as a tennis player until he singlehandedly killed an entire mafia squad and was sentenced to the death row, only to be freed by the Ultimate Academy, in exchange to become one of its members. This may be a reference to [[Guido Mista]]'s backstory.<br />

[[File:DarkSoulsThornArmor.png|150px|left|thumb|Satake and Miyazaki discussing the armor of thorns]]<br />
According to the interview between Dark Souls' Director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, and Concept Artist, Daisuke Satake, found in ''Design Works'' artbook, the design of the Set of Thorns originated from the concept of the trial of the [[77 Rings]]. In the challenge, combatants must defeat each other and wear the metal rings from each foe, increasing the weight they bear as they continue. The team's original idea was to use this design and try adding spikes to the rings, though it deviated along the way.<br />
<br />
Just before the Iron Golem boss, you can summon a white phantom named Black Iron Tarkus, which is likely a reference to [[Tarkus]], as they share many similarities. They are both large powerful warriors who carry unwieldy weapons and thick armor, who both fall off a cliff in a similar fashion.<br />
<br />
In Dark Souls II, you can encounter a boss called Executioner's Chariot. During the original network test prior to the games release, this boss instead had the name [[Silver Chariot]], referencing the Stand of the same name from Part 3.<br />
<br />
In Dark Souls III, a boss called High Lord Wolnir can be fought in the Catacombs of Carthus. He bears a striking resemblance to Enya Geil's Stand [[Justice]]. He is a colossal skeleton wearing a crown, and even uses fog to attack and harm the players.<br />

The team found it amusing and decided to give him "the always distinctive [[Rudol von Stroheim|Stroheim]] look" instead. Noritaka also explains that Guile's name was derived from Polnareff's archenemy, [[J. Geil]], though this was apparently the result of a mix up from the development staff at the time.<br />

In Street Fighter V, the DLC character {{W|List_of_Street_Fighter_characters#Seth|Seth}} has many moves based on older Capcom fighting games including [[Heritage for the Future|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future]]. His Hecatoncheires move is based on Jotaro and DIO's Blazing Fists, with the EX version of the attack ending with Jotaro's Star Breaker as Seth yells "ora ora ora". Some successful combos can lead to Seth doing DIO's Time Stop pose.<br />

In Terraria, there is a weapon called "Vampire Knives" which are likely to be a reference to [[Dio Brando]]; Specifically, to Shadow Dio's knife throw from the arcade fighter of the same name, whose knives fan out in a manner similar to this weapon.<br />
<br />
The game also features an armor set called the "Stardust armor" that allows the player to summon a spiritual guardian when all the pieces are worn. The guardian will float directly behind the player, and the player can order the guardian to move and attack enemies. The animation for the guardian's attack bears a strong resemblance to the infamous beatdown of [[Steely Dan]]. The changelog for the ''Journey's End'' update also states that "all resemblance to a certain anime is purely coincidental."<br />

Even after Benimaru's name was decided, the game developers continued to refer to him as Polnareff.<ref>http://kofaniv.snkplaymore.co.jp/english/character/index.php?num=benimaru</ref> Additionally, his taunt in The King of Fighters XI mirrors Polnareff's stature from the manga.<br />
* Also from King of Fighters, Rugal Bernstein, the main villain of the first two games, wears an outfit which is clearly a toned-down version of DIO's final [[Stardust Crusaders]] get-up, with a black tank top, loose pants, and even belt loops which come down past his hips. Rugal does omit the headband, kneepads, and other elements of DIO's outfit which bore the heart insignia, however, as well as having more ordinary shoes.<br />
* Leona's "Earring Bomb 2: [[Killer Queen|Heart Attack]] sees her attaching a bomb to her opponent. Afterwards, she may either wait until it explodes on its own or detonate it with a secondary command, saying 負けて終わり ("Makete owari." ~ "You lose, it's over."), referencing [[Killer Queen|Bites The Dust]] (transcribed in Japanese as , 負けて死ね, "Makete shine." = "You lose, now die.").<br />
* Leona Heidern's [[The Grateful Dead|Grateful Dead]] is a (Super) Desperation Move during which she drains the opponent of his/her life force while surrounded by wisps of steam or smoke.<br />
* Mian's Rangurenbu is a (Super) Desperation Move which she performs a series of attacks ending with a fire breath from her Bian Lian mask. While performing such a series of attacks, she utters "[[Sticky Fingers|Ariariariariariariari]]", but due to her being Chinese, she doesn't say "Arrivederci" at the end.<br />

In the eleventh game ''Subterranean Animism'', Yuugi, an oni, fights Marisa "''without spilling a drop of sake''" (stated by Patchouli).<br />

Two of Kaguya Houraisan's Spellcards have references to ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'', the first one being ''[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Imperishable_Night/Spell_Cards/Stage_6B#Spell_Card_163 Divine Treasure "Salamander Shield"]'', which has in its comments a blatant reference to [[Esidisi]]. And the other one being ''[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Shoot_the_Bullet/Spell_Cards/Level_9#Spell_Card_9_-_4 New Impossible Request "Red Stone of Aja"]'' referencing the valious stone in ''[[Battle Tendency]]'', the [[Red Stone of Aja]].<br />
<br />
Sakuya Izayoi is a maid who is the servant of the vampires Remilia and Flandre Scarlet. It's generally assumed that she's a tribute to DIO, as she employs the same style of combat (stopping time and using throwing knives) and even has attacks named after DIO's [[The World#abilities|Stand power]]: [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Embodiment_of_Scarlet_Devil/Spell_Cards/Stage_5#Spell_Card_39 Illusion World "The World"] and [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Scarlet_Weather_Rhapsody/Spell_Cards/Sakuya_Izayoi#Spell_Card_5 Sakuya's World].

<br />
In [http://en.touhouwiki.net/Double_Dealing_Character Double Dealing Character], one of Sakuya's Spell Cards erases the time (respectively the present and future) of the surrounding bullets and thus erases the bullets. This might be a reference to [[King Crimson|Diavolo's Stand]] and implies that Sakuya might not be only a reference to Dio.<br />
In the seventh game Perfect Cherry Blossom, once Marisa defeats Ran (a {{W|shikigami}}), she asks her if she is a Long-distance Type, because her master is far away and she is quite strong. This is a clearly reference to the [[Stand Types]] in ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure''.<br />
<br />
In ''Symposium of Post-mysticism'', an official Touhou Fanbook, Toyosatomimi no Miko says that Koishi Komeiji "''stopped thinking''", using the phrasing of the famous line {{nihongo|'''After a while, he stopped thinking'''|そのうち、考えるのをやめた。|Sono Uchi Kangaeru no wo Yameta}} referencing Kars.<br />

In 2015,<ref>https://www.discogs.com/Unlucky-Morpheus-Vampir/release/10128090</ref> '''"Unlucky Morpheus"''', released their 5th EP, "Vampir". The 4th track, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z3RcFMO_qg "Phantom Blood"], is very likely a reference to the [[Phantom Blood|arc]] of the same name. Not only is the track featured on an album with a very gothic and vampire aesthetic, but when translated to english, one of the lyrics reads ''"I grabbed the mask;The time is to come"'', likely referring to [[Dio Brando]] rejecting his humanity upon being consumed by the [[Stone Mask]].<br />

As he does so, the camera spins around showing him performing DIO's signature pose from [[Chapter 117]]. All while this occurs the katakana for "Menacing" floats around Toucan. Toucan suddenly stops time, and a [[Stand]]-like figure resembling [[The World]] is temporarily summoned. When Toucan stops time he points towards the viewer in a similar fashion to Dio in [[Chapter 253]] when he first reveals his stand. Once time is stopped, Toucan performs Jotaro's iconic pose from [[Volume 14]]. Afterward, he exclaims "Yare yare daze", Jotaro's signature catchphrase.

In Chapter 32, the scene of a random girl attacking Bobby resembles the scene of [[Esidisi]] attacking [[Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli|Caesar]] after having taken control of [[Suzi Q]]'s body, in ''[[Battle Tendency]]''. In chapter 40, a Binbōgami Item turns a pumpkin into a horse carriage that resembles one of the chariots used during the chariot race between [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] and [[Wamuu]], also in ''Part 2''.<br />

One of the arcs has the protagonists entering a haunted inn that services spiritual beings called "stands" (which are actually just ghosts), so that they may attain the happiness necessary for them to reach the afterlife. The "stands" may possess the "stand user" to grant him special abilities, which parody the conventional [[Stand]] naming derived from musical themes. The anime equivalent of the arc has {{w|Gintoki Sakata}} defining a "stand" while [[Star Platinum]] appears as an example, donning Gintoki's trademark attire, and includes a reference to Araki Hirohiko as a "backward-aging fairy".

In the ''Castlevania''-inspired indie game, main protagonist Miriam can obtain an equippable accessory named the "Stone Mask", with its description reading "''A stone mask once used by a tribal chief during ritual sacrifices.''"<br />
<br />
She can also obtain the "Hyperventilator" which looks like Joseph's training mask from Part 2, with its description "A mask designed to push the wearer to his or her physical limit." The "Voice changer" item is a color swap of the Hyperventilator.<br />
<br />
The "Gambler's Ring" item has a description which reads "A ring that bestows both '''luck and pluck''' to would-be gamblers."<br />
<br />
Late into the game, the player can be challenged by NPC Orlok Dracule, or O.D., to a secret boss fight. Upon his defeat, he gives Miriam a shard with the powerful ability "Standstill" that allows her to stop time. While the spell itself is inspired by the Stopwatch sub-weapon from the ''Castlevania'' series, the audiovisual presentation is distinctly different and in clear reference to The World; The visual effect of Standstill's activation resembles The World's time stop from the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA)|OVA]], while the sound effect replicates that of the time stop from the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders|Stardust Crusaders anime]].<ref>https://youtu.be/hqvEcElt4Gw?t=209</ref><br />

A Stone Mask can be found in the library in ''Castlevania: Symphony of the Night'', which is where [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]] and [[Dio Brando|Dio]] studied the properties of the [[Stone Mask]]. It appears again in ''Castlevania: Curse of Darkness'', with an appearance much more akin to the one's found in JoJo.<br />

In ''Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance'', if the Sacred Fist sub-weapon is used without a Spell Book activated, the protagonist shouts "Ora ora ora!" and unleashes a flurry of extremely fast, blur-like punches (in reference to [[Star Platinum]]).<br />

|The Danganronpa series features many references, scattered all across its three main games. <br />
In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc:<br />
*During his initial introduction, the protagonist, Makoto Naegi, points out that he does not have a [[Stand]]. <br />
*The Japanese delinquent Mondo Oowada is a homage to [[Josuke Higashikata]], sharing Josuke's hairstyle and is easily offended when people make fun of it. He is also the leader of a motorcycle gang named the [[Crazy Diamond]]s.<br />
*The first execution of the game, The 1000 Blows, has Leon Kuwata being hit 1000 times with baseballs, similar to how [[Jolyne Cujoh]] defeats [[Miraschon]]. <br />
*During the optional bath peek on the 3rd day, one of the students, Hifumi Yamada, offers Makoto to [[Pucci|count prime numbers to calm himself down]].<br />
*The villain of the game, Junko Enoshima, has multiple personalities, with one of them constantly acting as Dio and saying "Muda, Muda, Muda" during her Machinegun Talk Battle, and making the JoJo pose. <br />
*One of the items the player can gift is called the Meteorite Arrowhead, a blatant reference to the [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]]. <br />
<br />
In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (also known as Super Danganronpa 2):<br />
*The character Teruteru Hanamura mentioning that people can tell if others are lying by the taste of their sweat. <br />
*During an argument between the two, Monokuma attacks Monomi with a [[Heaven's Door]] parody, and in another occasion attacks her with a flurry of punches while screaming "ORA ORA ORA!!!" and throwing her into a trashcan. <br />
*Coach Nekomaru seems to be a homage to [[Jotaro Kujo]], with elongated, strong cheekbones (stylized as black, thin lines running from his eyes) and an open, black school uniform adorned with oversized chains.<br />
*During her first fight against Coach Nekomaru, Akane Owari screams "MUDADADADADA", a mixture of [[Crazy Diamond]]'s and both [[The World]] and [[Gold Experience]]'s battle cries. <br />
*While discussing the fictional videogame "Twilight Syndrome's Murder Mystery", Ibuki Mioda states that "TWILIGHT SYNDROME'S SECRET HIDDEN PASSAGEWAYS ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!" The sentence, alongside the mannerisms of speech and dialect she adopts for this sentence and this sentence only, are a probable a reference to [[Rudol von Stroheim]] and his infamous quote, "GERMAN TECHNOLOGY IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!"<br />
<br />
In Danganronpa 3: Killing Harmony:<br />
*Tsumugi Shirogane states that "thinking logically in these situations is of no use", and that she has decided to "eventually stop thinking altogether", mentioning [[Kars]]' final fate.<br />
*Gonta Gokuhara states that a thing he heard gentlemen do is "go on adventures to find [[Stone Mask|stone masks]]".<br />
*It is revealed that Ryoma Hoshi had a promising career as a tennis player until he singlehandedly killed an entire mafia squad and was sentenced to the death row, only to be freed by the Ultimate Academy, in exchange to become one of its members. This may be a reference to [[Guido Mista]]'s backstory.<br />

According to the interview between Dark Souls' Director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, and Concept Artist, Daisuke Satake, found in ''Design Works'' artbook, the design of the Set of Thorns originated from the concept of the trial of the [[77 Rings]]. In the challenge, combatants must defeat each other and wear the metal rings from each foe, increasing the weight they bear as they continue. The team's original idea was to use this design and try adding spikes to the rings, though it deviated along the way.<br />
<br />
Just before the Iron Golem boss, you can summon a white phantom named Black Iron Tarkus, which is likely a reference to [[Tarkus]], as they share many similarities. They are both large powerful warriors who carry unwieldy weapons and thick armor, who both fall off a cliff in a similar fashion.<br />
<br />
In Dark Souls II, you can encounter a boss called Executioner's Chariot. During the original network test prior to the games release, this boss instead had the name [[Silver Chariot]], referencing the Stand of the same name from Part 3.<br />
<br />
In Dark Souls III, a boss called High Lord Wolnir can be fought in the Catacombs of Carthus. He bears a striking resemblance to Enya Geil's Stand [[Justice]]. He is a colossal skeleton wearing a crown, and even uses fog to attack and harm the players.<br />

Lead designer of ''Street Fighter II'', Akira Nishitani, stated in a interview with Polygon that the concept of Dhalsim's ability to stretch his limbs comes from the [[Ripple]] [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli#Attacks|"Zoom Punch" technique]].<ref>http://www.polygon.com/a/street-fighter-2-oral-history/chapter-2</ref> This is reconfirmed in the comment section of Dhalism's bio in the Street Fighter X Tekken Artworks artbook.<br />
<br />
In an interview with producer Noritaka Funamizu, he reveals that Guile's overall appearance was modeled after [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]].<ref>Interview with Noritaka Funamizu - Weekly Famitsu Issue 1998/9/25</ref> Guile's page in ''Street Fighter X Tekken Artworks'' goes into detail, explaining that early designs included Polnareff's vertical, yet modest hairstyle, but at the time the sprites were being made for Street Fighter II, the pixel artist jokingly stretched Guile's hair out to the sides. The team found it amusing and decided to give him "the always distinctive [[Rudol von Stroheim|Stroheim]] look" instead. Noritaka also explains that Guile's name was derived from Polnareff's archenemy, [[J. Geil]], though this was apparently the result of a mix up from the development staff at the time.<br />
<br />
During early stages of development of {{W|Street Fighter II}}, Guile's "Sonic Boom" attack was originally referred to as "Divine Sandstorm", in reference to the character [[Wamuu]].<ref>https://twitter.com/moonq5151/status/972096517652676609</ref><br />
<br />
Rose was inspired by [[Lisa Lisa]], her outfit is almost identical to Lisa Lisa's and both share a similar fighting style that consists of channeling energy into their scarves (Soul Power in the case of Rose and Ripple in the case of Lisa Lisa). Additionally, both characters like to take baths and Rose's stage in ''Street Fighter Alpha 2'' is Venice, which is the same city where [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] meets Lisa Lisa in the story. Furthermore, in ''Capcom Fighting Evolution'', the Midnight Bliss attack would turn her into either a masked gondolier or [[Enya the Hag]] with a tweaked sprite from ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future]]''<br />
<br />
Juri Han has hair and clothes similar to [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]]'s. In addition, Juri has a spider motif and cleaves a butterfly in her official artwork; Jolyne has a butterfly motif and her Stand turns her body into threads and webs + she has spiderweb-patterned clothes. Juri even has the same "ora ora ora" battle cry as Jolyne.<br />
<br />
In Street Fighter V, the DLC character {{W|List_of_Street_Fighter_characters#Seth|Seth}} has many moves based on older Capcom fighting games including [[Heritage for the Future|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future]]. His Hecatoncheires move is based on Jotaro and DIO's Blazing Fists, with the EX version of the attack ending with Jotaro's Star Breaker as Seth yells "ora ora ora". Some successful combos can lead to Seth doing DIO's Time Stop pose.<br />

Rugal does omit the headband, kneepads, and other elements of DIO's outfit which bore the heart insignia, however, as well as having more ordinary shoes.<br />

Afterwards, she may either wait until it explodes on its own or detonate it with a secondary command, saying 負けて終わり ("Makete owari." ~ "You lose, it's over."), referencing [[Killer Queen|Bites The Dust]] (transcribed in Japanese as , 負けて死ね, "Makete shine." = "You lose, now die.").<br />
* Leona Heidern's [[The Grateful Dead|Grateful Dead]] is a (Super) Desperation Move during which she drains the opponent of his/her life force while surrounded by wisps of steam or smoke.<br />
* Mian's Rangurenbu is a (Super) Desperation Move which she performs a series of attacks ending with a fire breath from her Bian Lian mask.

Sakuya Izayoi is a maid who is the servant of the vampires Remilia and Flandre Scarlet.

In [http://en.touhouwiki.net/Double_Dealing_Character Double Dealing Character], one of Sakuya's Spell Cards erases the time (respectively the present and future) of the surrounding bullets and thus erases the bullets.

In the NBC drama {{w|Heroes (TV series)|Heroes}}, the character Hiro Nakamura is a fan of ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure''. In his blog, he states that he wants to "be like JoJo and Vaan and go on adventures" and that Part 3 is his favorite, especially the fights against the [[D'Arby]] brothers. One of his powers includes time manipulation, a gift shared with both Jotaro and DIO. In his blog he also mentions Joseph, Suzi Q and Boingo, whom he compares with Isaac Mendez. Isaac was an artist and comic book author whose works predicted the future just like Boingo's [[Thoth]]. Hiro later manages to stop time for more than 5 seconds and says that "JoJo was wrong" and posts on his blog under the pseudonym Jotaro Kujo. In the episode "Lizards", Hiro uses DIO & The World's battle cry "Muda Muda" during the Battle of Twelve Swords. He uses it again to taunt Daphne Millbrook while using his time manipulation ability to escape after taking her medal.<br />

{{Quote|The '''Blue Lagoon'''... Man, I'd love to really go there. That's my dream...|Dolomite, [[JJL Chapter 60]]}}<br />
<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Dolomite'''|ドロミテ|Doromite}}, also known as {{Nihongo|'''Masaji Dorokoma'''|泥駒 政次|Dorokoma Masaji}}, is a minor antagonist featured in the eighth part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[JoJolion]]'', specifically the "[[Dolomite's Blue Lagoon (story arc)|Dolomite's Blue Lagoon]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
An acquaintance of [[Jobin Higashikata]], Dolomite is a [[Rock Humans|Rock Human]] whose body is partially destroyed. Upon Jobin's request, Dolomite helps him retrieve the [[Locacaca]] after being lured by [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|living proof]] of the Locacaca's next stage of equivalent exchange. He is a [[Stand]] User and controls people through his [[Blue Hawaii]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Dolomite was originally a handsome man. Wearing an undercut, the hair on his sides was shaved down whilst the hair on his crown was pulled to the right of his forehead. He wore an exotic striped jacket over a dark, long-sleeved shirt.<br />
<br />
After his body was destroyed, Dolomite's appearance drastically changed. His entire body and skin took on a more rock-like appearance, with a rougher complexion and cracks in his skin. Dolomite's arms and legs are reduced to stumps while his teeth are broken and cracked. His eyes are duller and a strange marking exists above his nose, in the form of a triangle with a small circle above it. His hair has grown out much longer and is unkempt, hanging over his shoulders. As for clothing, he still retains his exotic jacket but nothing else.<br />
<br />

{{Palette|Outfit|#c99444|#010005|desc=Yellow outfit with black stripes}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Little is known of Dolomite's past personality. In the past, Dolomite was an easy-going man. His idea of paradise was inspired by the novel {{W|The Blue Lagoon (novel)|''The Blue Lagoon''}}, referring to a tropical paradise isolated from the rest of the world. At that time, he also cared for another woman. In fact, he saved her from electrocution at the cost of his own body.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 60}}, p.2-6</ref> Dolomite still harbors some feelings for her and expressed a desire to seek her out and invite her to the "Blue Lagoon".<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 63}}, p.37</ref><br />
<br />
Despite the destruction of his body, his mind is relatively sane, although he does display animalistic behavior at times. He is also extremely nihilistic, likely due to the fact he cannot participate in society any more.<ref name="JJL60P9">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 60}}, p.9</ref> He is not interested in the Locacaca operation, and whilst commenting that it will be "lonely", he does not show any grief to his fellow Rock Humans.<ref name="JJL60P9" /> The reason given as he has nobody left, he can not participate in an equivalent exchange process. While Dolomite states he is actually content with living near the Mutsukabe-Hill pond,<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 60}}, p.8</ref> he becomes interested in the new [[Locacaca]]'s healing properties when [[Jobin]] explains [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]]'s history and cooperates with Jobin.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 60}}, p.11</ref> Despite his independance, he is aware of the existence of the [[Locacaca Organization]]'s upper echelons and is frightened by them, to the point he warns Josuke and Yasuho to not seek the Locacaca further.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 63}}, p.45</ref><br />
<br />
As a [[Rock Human]], Dolomite has little concern about harming humans. His crude control over people means that they will probably harm themselves as they try to grab a target, and Dolomite was ready to drown Josuke when he was done with him.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 63}}, p.36</ref> However, he shows a measure of restraint when he asks Jobin first if the latter is alright with collateral damage.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 61}}, p.6</ref><br />
<br />
Dolomite motly eats frogs by turning into rock and luring them near him, but seems to be fond of fried chicken, as it is the food Jobin used to lure him out.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 59}}, p.31</ref> It is known that he also attacked pet pens or farms in order to eat rabbits and chickens.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 62}}, p.36-37</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{main|Blue Hawaii}}<br />
<br />
Dolomite's [[Stand]] has the power to control humans from afar to attack a particular target so long as that person has touched something belonging to the user, or the blood of one of the victims.<br />

==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:dolomite background.png|thumb|Dolomite and his then girlfriend]]<br />
Years ago, Dolomite originally was a normal-looking Rock Human that loved an unknown woman fondly. The woman, apparently blind, wandered into a power plant and Dolomite rushed after her. He pushed her out of the way in time, saving her. However, the power pylons electrically shocked him to such a severe degree that it blasted apart his arms, legs and teeth. The last thing Dolomite saw was the woman wandering away. Over the years Dolomite ate several animals, causing the police to search for him.<br />
<br />
===JoJolion===<br />
===[[Dolomite's Blue Lagoon (story arc)|Dolomite's Blue Lagoon]]===<br />
[[File:jobin meets dolomite.png|thumb|left|Jobin meets with Dolomite]]<br />
After an unknown amount of time, Dolomite settled down near a pond located at a shrine; living as a hermit and becoming unaware of the events happening to his Rock Human brethren. After witnessing [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] kill [[Tamaki Damo]], [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] goes to the pond and summons Dolomite using fried chicken. Jobin informs him of what happened to the [[Locacaca Smuggling Organization]] managing the [[Locacaca]] trade, and asks Dolomite to help him acquire a [[Locacaca]] so he can perform equivalent exchange. Interested, Dolomite uses his [[Blue Hawaii]] to infect the people of [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] and try to attack Josuke.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho vs dolomite.png|thumb|Yasuho finds and corners Dolomite]]<br />
While Blue Hawaii relentlessly pursues Josuke, Dolomite stays idle in his pond. Josuke finally beaten, and instructed to return to Dolomite immediately, the Rock Human takes his mobile phone and interrogates him to know who Josuke was going to meet, to which Josuke answers that he was to meet with a plant appraiser. Investigating the phone, Dolomite confirms Josuke's statement; declaring himself the victor, he orders Josuke to drown himself at the bottom of the pond, but [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] intervenes and bashes his head with a metal bar. Limbless, Dolomite has no way to defend himself and is forced into a mud pit when Yasuho interrogates him about his accomplice and the Rock Human tries to stay silent. Defeated, Dolomite releases his control over Josuke and reveals that it was Jobin who asked him to attack Josuke.<br />
<br />
Dolomite then comments that Josuke and Yasuho are way over their head by involving themselves with the Locacaca business, especially since a new species of the fruit has emerged. After his confession, he is subdued by Yasuho and Josuke with his current fate unknown.<br />

|{{Q|This mutsukabe shrine...

|{{Q|The sort of thing [the Damokan Group] were doing with earning and laundering money with the Locacaca or things like serving some purpose to society, just aren't things I have any interest in.

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*Dolomite is named after the {{w|Dolomites}}, a portion of the Italian Alps where the mineral {{w|Dolomite_(mineral)|dolomite}} gets its name. Dolomite's name is read in Japanese as {{nihongo4||ドロミテ|doromite}}, derived from the singular form of the Italian name for the Dolomites (pl. ''Dolomiti''; s. ''Dolomite''), rather than the English name for the mineral, which is {{nihongo4||ドロマイト|doromaito}} in Japanese.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Dio Brando'''|ディオ・ブランドー|Dio Burandō}}, later known simply as {{Nihongo|'''DIO'''|{{Ruby|DIO|ディオ}}}}, is the [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of the first and third parts of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' and ''[[Stardust Crusaders]],'' as well as a posthumous [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] in the sixth part, ''[[Stone Ocean]]''. His influence is felt throughout all of the first six parts of the series, with major characters such as [[Giorno Giovanna]] and [[Enrico Pucci]] being directly connected to him.<br />
<br />
Originally a man of low birth but peerless ambition, Dio is a villain of little conscience, vast cunning, and an insatiable hunger for power. After becoming a [[vampire]] and later a [[Stand]] user, Dio has gathered around him many [[Agents of DIO|minions]] and is responsible for many major events of the series, from the death of [[Jonathan Joestar]] to the [[Joestar Family]]'s sudden acquisition of Stand power, and his legacy persists throughout the series.<br />
<br />
Dio is the first [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. He is also the father of Giorno, the protagonist of ''[[Vento Aureo]]'', as well as a handful of [[Ungalo|other]] [[Rikiel|illegitimate]] [[Donatello Versus|offspring]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
===Phantom Blood===<br />
====Childhood====<br />
[[File:Dio Young Render.png|frameless|left|90px]]<br />
When he first arrives at the Joestar Estate, Dio is seen wearing typical formal boy's attire from that era; a blue coat, white dress shirt, a tie, suspenders, breeches, and a pair of striped socks. He has blond hair and a handsome face. He also has 3 moles on the lobule of his left ear.<br />
*When boxing, he wears a shirt with folded sleeves, overalls, and boxing gloves.<br />
<br />
====Adulthood====<br />
[[File:Dio acrylic.png|frameless|150px|alt=|left]]<br />
Aside from replacing his coat with a vest, Dio's attire hasn't changed much. However, his overall physique and height have increased significantly. During the events where Jonathan sets out to find the antidote for his father's illness, Dio dons a top hat and a new, flamboyant-looking cloak that has feathers jutting out of the shoulders.<br />
<br />
====Vampire====<br />
Dio undergoes drastic physical changes upon using the Stone Mask to transform himself into a vampire. His formerly-clean hair becomes messy and unkempt, his eyes become sharper and adopt a darker outline, and he develops fangs. <br />
<br />
His clothing has changed quite a bit as well after his first battle with Jonathan; most noticeable is the scarf around his neck. He wears an ornate dual-colored shirt and matching breeches, a large pair of boots, vambraces, and two suspenders attached to a band around his waist.<br />

<br />
===Stardust Crusaders===<br />
====Evil Incarnate / Shadow====<br />
[[File:Bg dio r.png|frameless|left|120px]]<br />
DIO does not have a visible face as an effect of the shadowy darkness of his mansion. He has shoulder-length blond hair and is topless, exposing Jonathan's muscular body (on which his head is sewn in place) He wears pants with suspenders, clogs, shiny cuffs on both wrists, and heart-shaped knee guards. In the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' arcade game, his voice is also extra distorted compared to the standard filter used for his other playable version (an effect created by the developers to add a sense of mystery). This form of DIO is commonly referred to as {{Nihongo|'''Evil Incarnate DIO'''|邪悪の化身ディオ|Ja'aku no Keshin DIO}} or '''Shadow DIO''' in certain English localizations.<br />
<br />
====Revealed====<br />
[[File:DIO Anime Render.png|frameless|right|185px]]<br />
Incorporating his previous outfit, DIO dons a jacket with a tight tank-top underneath, as well as chaps with an exposed crotch. His face is now in full-view, and on his head is a heart-adorned circlet to match his knee guards. This is his form during the beginning of the ''[[DIO's World]]'' story arc. In most depictions of him, DIO's outfit is tinted orange or yellow.<br />
<br />
He also wears a necklace covering his neck scar and heart motifs above his feet and on his pant legs, but he quickly stopped sporting them after his first stairway confrontation with [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]].<br />
<br />
When pursuing the Joestar group, DIO donned a cloak that he ended up discarding during his confrontation with [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]].<br />
<br />
====Empowered====<br />
DIO nears his physical peak after draining [[Joseph Joestar]]'s blood. His appearance now is similar to his revealed form, minus the jacket and the heart-shaped headband that was destroyed by [[Star Platinum]]'s attacks. He now sports a deranged and homicidal look and mannerisms, having lost his suave touch. His hair is now disheveled and mostly oriented upwards, while his lips are darker and seem adorned with lipstick. This is his main form during the latter half of the ''[[DIO's World]]'' story arc, often called his 'High' or 'Awakened' form.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Dio is consistently manipulative and violently domineering, and has repeatedly shown a lack of conscience and empathy.<br />
[[File:Dio_8s_happy.png|thumb|240x240px|DIO is ecstatic when he sees his power growing further]]<br />
Dio's most recognizable characteristics are his boundless ambition and his love of power. Abused by his father and having lived in the most miserable living conditions,<ref name="Ch|Chapter 7">{{Ch|Chapter 7}}</ref> Dio set for himself the goal of becoming the richest, then the most powerful being on Earth. To do so, Dio used anything or anyone that he could in order to further his goals, disregarding any kind of morality that would restrain the range of actions available to him. Using either manipulation, seduction, or plain violence, Dio constantly sought to become more and more powerful. Dio enjoys being in a position of power<ref name=":1">{{Ch|Chapter 2}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Ch|Chapter 4}}</ref> and has repeatedly stated how great he felt being in a dominating position. On the contrary, Dio never tolerated that someone could stand up to him or equal him in power, and was enraged and deeply disturbed at the thought several times.<br />
<br />
Throughout his life, Dio has tended to surround himself with witless cronies and later minions, who were attracted by his natural charisma. Not thinking much of them at first, he then selected those he deemed as particularly evil, claiming that an evil person wasn't bound by rules such as honor and thus were stronger mentally. This belief culminated in including the absorption of 36 souls of sinners, or, as he claims, particularly strong souls, to unlock a power greater than that of his Stand, The World.<br />
[[File:Dio_plotting.png|left|thumb|Dio planning to mentally break Jonathan and usurp his place upon meeting him]]<br />
Naturally, Dio is an incredibly-selfish person, only looking over his own interest and overlooking those of others at best, trampling them on the ground at worst. Due to his composed nature, Dio can and will manipulate and take what he can from all sorts of people, using any method, as long as the person suits his present desires. Since he is selfishly interested in their capabilities, however, Dio is the type who is incapable of loving another person wholeheartedly.<ref name=eureka>[[Interview Archive|2007 Eureka November issue - Interview with Hirohiko Araki]]</ref> The only people he can be said to have held some type of affection for were his mother, Jonathan Joestar, and Enrico Pucci; Dio recognizing Jonathan's worth as equal to his own, and having been friends with Pucci. Still, Dio stole the former's body and his friendship with the latter was proven nonetheless beneficial of a grander plan to further himself.<br />
[[File:Dio charms Kakyoin.jpg|thumb|DIO "charming" Kakyoin to his side]]<br />
When interacting with someone, Dio will constantly try to manipulate them and sway them into his side, using a veneer of gentleness and his natural charm to make people admire and like him. For instance, he acted the model son and popular charismatic friend to Jonathan's father and entourage to better isolate him, and as a Vampire, his charisma only increased as he appeared as a charming mysterious individual. However, his natural arrogance would lead him to openly insult and belittle his enemies, notably disparaging their insignificant strength before his vampiric or Stand powers.<br />
<br />
Dio approaches obstacles and problems in a number of ways depending on the situation and his mood. When he was human, Dio was careful and methodical in trying to break Jonathan's spirit and slowly poisoned George for a sizeable period of time, only being thwarted due to unlucky twists of fate. As a Vampire, DIO at first let his arrogance get the better of him and took a laissez-faire approach, only sending subordinates to kill the Joestar Group while he rested and recovered. However, his defeat by Jonathan taught him to be wary of the Joestar Family in its entirety, thus he would later ambush Jonathan and, during the events of ''Stardust Crusaders'', send his minions to delay the Joestars as much as possible to recover strength. During his final battle, his wariness, tactical acumen and arrogance would clash to make Dio alternate between meticulous approach and overconfident attacks.<br />
<br />
===Part 1 - ''Phantom Blood''===<br />
{{quote|{{Nihongo2|I reject my humanity! JoJo! I will transcend humanity!|おれは人間をやめるぞ!ジョジョーッ!!おれは人間を超越するッ!|Ore wa ningen o yameru zoǃ JoJoǃ Ore wa ningen o chōetsu suru!}}|Dio before donning the [[Stone Mask]]|{{Ch|Chapter 11}}}}<br />
In ''Phantom Blood'', Dio is ambitious, selfish, arrogant, callous and megalomaniacal, seemingly able to do anything to achieve his aims.<br />
[[File:Dio abandons humanity.png|thumb|Dio drops all pretense of good]]<br />
His natural ruthlessness is exposed very early when plans to exploit the Joestar family despite them being kind enough to adopt him.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|Chapter 1}}</ref> In order to place himself in a better position to replace Jonathan Joestar and obtain the Joestar family fortune, Dio used the most underhanded means to break him mentally. These methods included: humiliating Jonathan in public sport fighting, ostracizing him from his friends,<ref name=":1" /> and finally stealing [[Erina Pendleton]]'s first kiss to drive a wedge in their budding relationship.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 3}}</ref> When he is eventually foiled, Dio opted to slowly poison [[George Joestar I]] and kill Jonathan with the Stone Mask to make both deaths seem natural and accidental.<ref name="Ch|Chapter 7"/> Dio has shown a remarkable determination to reach his goal, never losing his drive despite the numerous defeats he suffers throughout ''Phantom Blood'' and always tried to find a way to get back at Jonathan for them.<br />
<br />
Dio's lack of empathy is also apparent, since despite having lived for years with the kind Joestars, he never thought of them as anything more than obstacles, and is hinted to utterly resent the upper class he frequents. Dio had been maintaining a facade of a charming and agreeable person to everyone save Jonathan, yet never came close to anyone. At the end of the part, the only person Dio appreciated was Jonathan Joestar himself, begrudgingly acknowledging his valor as his archenemy<ref name="Ch|Chapter 42">{{Ch|Chapter 42}}</ref> and "granting" him a painless death, and was even shocked to see him die.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 44}}</ref> Overjoyed to have changed into a powerful vampire, Dio spent his battles taunting various humans about their weaknesses and belittling them in favor of the apex predator vampires. Dio also sadistically changed a mother into a zombie just to watch her devour her own baby. When in a position of strength, he also tends to torment them further, such as sneakily sticking his thumb into Jonathan's eye during a punch.<ref name=":1" /><br />
[[File:Dio slapping Erina.png|left|thumb|230x230px|Dio slapping Erina in a fit of anger]]<br />
Dio shows a lack of restraint in his violence, and is prone to murderous outbursts even as far as his childhood, notably trying to stab Jonathan when he beat him up, and violently slapping Erina.<ref name=":2" /> He was also incredibly cruel to Jonathan's dog, [[Danny]], going so far as kicking him on their first meeting.<ref name=":0" /> When Dio was defeated by Jonathan, Dio secretly had Danny incinerated. He is shown to be utterly enraged when someone stands up to him, which is the cause for his outbursts. He himself acknowledged that his anger was a weakness,<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 5}}</ref> but would be all his life unable to truly control himself.<br />
<br />
Dio's personality could be explained by his poor childhood and the abusive relationship he shared with his father, [[Dario Brando]]. Speedwagon, however, rejected this as the cause of Dio's personality, claiming that Dio was simply born this way, and that his poverty had nothing to do with it. True to that, Dio was already an immoral person but then openly relinquishes his {{W|Humanity (virtue)|humanity}} in favor of becoming a [[Vampire]] upon being cornered by the police.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 11}}</ref> He trades his underhanded scheming persona for a more arrogant and hedonistic personality that is dismissive of humanity and revels in evil. Nonetheless, Dio respects determination and said much to Jonathan that his determination was equal to his own, earning him the dubious honor of serving as Dio's new host, after Dio was reduced by Jonathan to a head.<ref name="Ch|Chapter 42"/><br />
<br />
Dio's potential for empathy is implied in both the manga and the anime, when Dio is shown to have killed his own father out of revenge for the abuse against his mother, rather than as a step in his scheme to rise in society.<br />
<br />
Dio has expressed hatred for dogs, considering them vermin.<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
===Part 3 - ''Stardust Crusaders''===<br />
{{Quote|{{Nihongo2|Everyone survives in pursuit of peace of mind... Aren't you uneasy, preparing to fight me, knowing you may die? If you join me, I will give you peace of mind that will last forever.|安心を求める事そ人間の目的だ。そこでだ……わたしに仕えることに何の不安感があるのだ?わたしに仕えるだけで他の全ての安心が簡単に手に入るぞ|Anshin o motomeru koto so ningen no mokutekida. Sokodeda…… watashi ni tsukaeru koto ni nani no fuan-kan ga aru noda? Watashi ni tsukaeru dake de ta no subete no anshin ga kantan ni te ni hairu zo.}}|DIO to Polnareff|{{Ch|Chapter 248}}}}<br />
Reappearing in ''Stardust Crusaders'', DIO did not change much since his burial at the bottom of the ocean for one hundred years, as he remained a remorseless and murderous megalomaniac, but nonetheless he had matured a little by recognizing valor in others and being generally more calm and level-headed.<br />
[[File:Dio_peace_of_mind.png|left|thumb|DIO discussing the true nature of happiness with Polnareff]]<br />
DIO does not appear frequently in ''Stardust Crusaders'' except towards the end, but is seen discussing various philosophies with Stand users he wishes to recruit, and with his already-loyal followers, particularly [[Enya the Hag]] who serves as his main adviser. It seems equally likely that DIO does this to manipulate and persuade as that he believes what he says, but nonetheless acknowledges the power and valor simple humans can have, notably respecting one's willingness to die for his goal. Wishing to quickly dispose of the Joestars, he listened to Enya and was told that she'd already sent agents to deal with them, and quietly rested in his mansion to gain more strength. Furthermore, DIO learned his lesson and stops underestimating his opponents, being particularly careful around the Joestar bloodline. He nonetheless sneered at other Stand Users' efforts to fight him, most notably Kakyoin's, whose discovery ended up being crucial in his defeat.<br />
<br />
This time, DIO is far more calm and collected. Maybe due to knowing that his Stand The World is far above anyone's reach, DIO is more tolerant of people resisting him, and didn't react to Polnareff's taunts and insults. He even seems to appreciate Hol Horse's insubordination, which confirms the mercenary's strength, and let him go try to assassinate Jotaro. However, DIO is still callous about human life and killed anyone who would fail him, even Enya—who was, again, his closest adviser. The usually confident and cunning gambler Daniel D'Arby was driven to madness when he couldn't handle the pressure of possibly revealing DIO's Stand ability to Jotaro.<br />
[[File:Greatest_high.png|thumb|DIO's insanity in full view]]<br />
True to himself, DIO is enjoying the fact that he is wielding the most powerful Stand in his organization, being unconcerned by the heroes' effort to discover his power as he thinks they are meaningless. When Jotaro reveals himself to be able to move within the stopped time, DIO is initially very distraught but recomposes himself quickly, devising other plans to get rid of Jotaro by exploiting his advantage. The full scale of his insanity is visible when, overjoyed to have completely fused with Jonathan's body and being at full power, DIO declares that he was experiencing "the greatest high" and delightfully drills his index finger into his skull. <br />
<br />
DIO’s final speech exposes that he is still willing to use any way to win and despises any concept of honor or revenge, ultimately using a cheap trick to blind Jotaro momentarily. However, this was all for naught since DIO would ultimately meet retribution by dying at Jotaro's hand.<br />

[[File:Dio&enrico.png|thumb|230x230px|DIO with Enrico Pucci]]<br />
In flashbacks placed before the events of ''Part 3'', DIO demonstrates a burgeoning ability to be genuinely nice to another person in numerous conversations with [[Enrico Pucci]]. Intrigued by Pucci, who let him be despite suspiciously hiding in a church, DIO healed his crooked foot, a kind gesture, and gave him the head of an [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], which would grant him his own Stand, [[Whitesnake]]. During these flashbacks, DIO is able to open up with him on multiple subjects, and confiding to Pucci that the priest could make him be at peace. Once daring Pucci to steal his Stand, to Pucci's refusal, DIO thanked him for his fidelity, and even admitted that he feared the thought of Pucci betraying him.<br />
<br />
It is debatable how good a friend DIO truly was, considering Pucci's good-willed nature during his youth directly opposing his later evilness and zealotry. DIO also seems to have built that friendship to further his ambitions, which calls into question how sincere it was. It is implied that he wanted to use his Stand to create a perfect world for himself and a handful of subordinates. He enlisted [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]] as his living "conscience", in case he would go crazy and veer "off track".<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Over Heaven|Over Heaven]]===<br />
<sup>(The information below derives from a Light Novel not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered {{W|Canon (fiction)|canon}}.)</sup><br />
<br />
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Over Heaven offers an interpretation of Dio Brando's character by mixing elements present in the original material and plot points introduced by the light novel, which serves to be the real-life interpretation of [[DIO's Diary]].<br />
<br />
In the novel, DIO has seemingly matured past his megalomania and, due to his mother's kindness and influence on him during his younger years, developed an extreme fixation on the concept of 'heaven' - an idea he revisits when he becomes embroiled in the world of Stands. After discovering the power human souls possess, as well as the possibility that these souls can be harnessed and controlled for one's benefit, DIO tries to devise a plan to use Stand power and human souls to bring about his idea of heaven.<br />
<br />
Apparently, all throughout the events of ''Stardust Crusaders'', DIO had been holding meetings with Enrico Pucci as well as devising ways on how to go to heaven. He then comes to the conclusion that in order to achieve true victory and witness heaven, DIO must guide Pucci to heaven, and not the other way around. Spliced between these events are all sorts of entries, such as memories of his past life as a human and later on a Vampire, the intricacies of the Stone Mask, his musings about the generational feud between him and the [[Joestar Family]], the life his parents had in the slums of London, him interacting with his organization, and various philosophical matters.<br />
<br />
For what it was worth, DIO appears to have ''genuinely'' cared about Enrico Pucci, and even more so about his plan to go to heaven, stating outright that he would sacrifice his organization, his vampiric abilities, his stand, ''everything'' - just to achieve his goal of creating his heaven on earth.<br />
<br />

<br />
DIO is one of the most powerful characters in the series. As a human, he was already brilliant but over time he's managed to acquire several powers, becoming a [[Vampire]] and then a [[Stand]] User.<br />
===Stand===<br />
====The World====<br />
{{Main|The World}}<br />
<br />
DIO's [[Stand]] is The World; a close-ranged Stand with comparable, if not superior strength and speed against Jotaro Kujo's [[Star Platinum]].<br />
<br />
About a year after gaining his Stand, DIO discovered it's signature ability of stopping time. At first, he could only do this for a very short amount of time, but by the end of ''Part 3'', he is able to stop time for a maximum of 9 seconds.<ref>[[JoJo 6251]] Stand Encyclopedia, p.124</ref> This duration would have continued to increase, had DIO not been defeated. When stopping time, DIO gives the impression that he is teleporting or otherwise moving at impossible speeds.<br />

<br />
The ability is best known for DIO's activation and cancellation phrases, {{nihongo|'''The World! Time, stop!'''|{{Ruby|世界|ザ・ワールド}}! 時よ止まれ!|Za Warudo! Toki yo tomare!}} and {{nihongo|'''Time resumes.'''|時は動き出す|Toki wa ugokidasu.}}<br />
<br />
====Mastery====<br />
Having had ample time to rest and train with The World, DIO is shown to have been thorough in exploring his Stand's abilities. Case in point, it was during an experimental session during which DIO sought to test the limit of The World's speed that he discovered his time stop ability.<br />
<br />
[[File:The World DIO.png|left|thumb|DIO with [[The World]]]]<br />
To give himself an advantage, DIO has tried to keep the ability of The World a secret, only using it at key moments to psych out an opponent and perform incomprehensible sneak attacks, as well as only trusting its secret to a few confidants such as [[Enya the Hag]] and not hesitating to eliminate her as soon as she remotely risked to inform the Joestars of his timestop power. However, as soon as they understood its ability, DIO dropped the secret and showed a great degree of confidence about the supremacy of his power, ultimately not caring about his secret as he was convinced that no one could do anything about it. Thus, he began to liberally stop time against Jotaro. Thanks to the free time-frame of action granted by The World, DIO has made it possible to instantly reposition himself to avoid attacks or set himself up to attack, kill enemies instantly, or even displace his opponents to toy with them.<br />
<br />
DIO has shown a high degree of control over The World, using it to battle Jotaro's Star Platinum to a standstill, but showing superior technique in hand to hand combat by using low kicks to unbalance Star Platinum or feints to out-punch Star Platinum. However, his Vampire constitution means that DIO never showed the same care at using The World defensively at he preferred to avoid being hit at all and regenerate by sucking blood.<br />
<br />
Unlike every other enemy Stand User in ''Stardust Crusaders'', DIO actively sought to improve his Stand's capabilities. He notably wanted the [[Joestar Group]] to come to him so that he could suck the blood of a Joestar and sync himself up with Jonathan's body to bolster his powers further. Araki himself has stated that DIO had the potential to stop time indefinitely. <br />
<br />
Moreover, DIO had searched a way to unlock a power even more powerful than The World, using esoteric knowledge to divine a plan to create another mightier Stand.<br />
<br />
====Joestar Stand====<br />
{{main|List of Unnamed Stands#Joestar Stand|Joestar Stand}}<br />
<br />
When DIO awakened [[The World]], Jonathan's body also awakened a [[Hermit Purple]]-like [[Stand]] power with semi-precognitive abilities.<ref>[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]] appendix note</ref> Similar to Hermit Purple, it can produce psychic photographs by striking a camera or a crystal ball, which DIO used to track the [[Joestar Family|Joestars]] and their friends' current location to send Stand Users after them. DIO was even able to tell when [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] used Hermit Purple to take a psychic photograph of him, and instinctively knew that his acquisition of a Stand also awoke Stand abilities in Jonathan's descendants.<br />

If anyone attempts to remove the bud, it will sprout tentacles in an attempt to invade the intruder's brain. If necessary, DIO can give permission to someone to activate the spore's tentacles from a close distance. The spores possess another effect in case DIO himself ever dies: according to [[Keicho Nijimura]], DIO's cells mutated his [[Father Nijimura|father]] into a greenish animalistic form upon DIO's death. Presumably, this is a side effect of the flesh buds that all Stand users containing flesh buds suffer from.<br />

|Gallery = <br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Personal Skills===<br />
'''Intelligence:''' Dio is naturally intelligent, displaying cunning and perceptiveness as well as imagination repeatedly.<br />
<br />
As a child and teenager, Dio Brando managed to achieve academic excellence with ease, having planned to graduate from university as a top law student.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, Dio is a cunning villain and proficient tactician in combat. Dio almost managed to get away with two murders, biding his time in order to have a perfect alibi and was only discovered by accident. Upon his return from the bottom of the ocean, DIO built in six years a powerful criminal empire spanning over several continents and which brought him many riches. In a fight, Dio is particularly cunning and perceptive, his ruthlessness making him able to exploit dishonorable and downright inhuman tactics to get ahead, such as leading his enemies into a trap, using hapless civilians as projectiles and sources of energy, or plain sneak attacks. Dio has the habit of analyzing his opponents and determine quickly a counter to their strengths, such as freezing blood in order to stop the flow of the Ripple or forcing Jotaro's bluff by throwing multiple knives from all direction so that he's forced to act during the stopped time.<br />
<br />
Naturally ambitious, Dio constantly seeks to improve himself and meticulously studies his abilities to make the most of them. As such, he developed a freezing power akin to the [[Pillar Men]]'s Modes in just a month, and in six years, discovered enough about Stands to be able to fuse several together with souls in order to create the [[Made in Heaven|ultimate Stand]]. Arguably his most successful move Dio experimented on how his vampiric powers allowed him to fuse two organisms together and used that knowledge to steal Jonathan's body.<br />
<br />
Though he doesn't show it often, Dio has become a natural philosopher, arguing about the human condition with multiple people.<br />
<br />
'''Resilience:''' All prior to becoming a Vampire, Dio was already an able bare-handed fighter; a skill he says he developed in the slums of London. A good amateur sportsman, during a rugby game as a young adult, he is shown to have developed high athletic ability (as well as fantastic muscle mass).<br />
<br />
'''Charisma:''' Dio is a cunning and charming individual. In addition to Stand Users, whom Avdol and Joseph suggest he recruits through charm or charisma, he has seduced many women throughout his life.<br />
<br />
'''Knowledge: '''Throughout both his humble youth and tempestuous maturity, Dio is often seen reading. During his pre-teens, he is seen playing chess with adults. In ''[[Stone Ocean]]'', in conversation with [[Enrico Pucci]], he is shown to have accumulated some wisdom within the world of Stands. Importantly, Dio is able to concoct a plan, contained in [[DIO's Diary|his diary]], incorporating vast, unknown information as to the deliberate creation of Stands of perfectly specific abilities.<br />
<br />
'''Spiritual Connection: '''After stealing Jonathan's body, DIO began to share a spiritual connection with Jonathan's living descendants. He notably was instinctively aware of their presence and their well-being, allowing him to track them across Cairo. Joseph mentions that DIO probably cannot distinguish between him and Jotaro, and only feel their presence.<br />
<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
<br />
*'''Vampiric Body: '''Dio Brando's powers, however, are all at the expense of having a body sustained by sheer willpower alone, rather than vital energy. A sufficiently powerful force of vitality - specifically sunlight or the Ripple - will negate the sustaining force's presence and disintegrate his long-unliving body.<br />
<br />
*'''Jonathan's Body (former):''' When DIO first acquired Jonathan Joestar's body and resurfaced from the ocean, he was unable to use the full power of his Stand, and had to acquire blood from a live Joestar to compensate and fully synchronize with his new form. Once this weakness was negated, he managed to grow significantly stronger, as did his Stand.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
*[[Dario Brando]]: Dio hated his father and saw Dario only as a stepping stone in his path to ascend in society. Dio's hatred stems from the abuse Dario dealt Dio's mother with his alcoholism, as well as Dio himself, to the point where he secretly poisoned to death and tricked Dario into thinking he was sick. He emphasizes this by spitting on his father's grave before leaving for the Joestar mansion.<br />
*[[Dio Brando's Mother]]: Though she isn't seen interacting with him, it's very clear that Dio loved his mother deeply, and the abuse she was dealt by his father was one of the reasons Dio slowly and painfully killed Dario.<br />
*[[Giorno Giovanna]]: DIO is not shown to have interacted with his son, Giorno, although Giorno keeps a photo of him in his wallet. It is unknown where Giorno got it from or if he knows of the kind of person his father was. Also of note is that DIO would drain Giorno's mother of her blood, had he not been killed himself by Jotaro.<ref name="allgame">{{w|V Jump}} Games Series - ''All of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: ''Vento Aureo'''' Interview</ref><br />
*[[Ungalo]], [[Donatello Versus]], and [[Rikiel]]: Similar to Giorno's case, the mothers of all three men were left alive. However, none of them inherited Jonathan's spirit. All three only learned of their true father's identity after their fated encounter with Pucci.<br />
<br />
===Allies===<br />
<br />
*[[Enrico Pucci]]: DIO's encounter with Pucci is presumably the most prominent example of humanity displayed by him, having healed Pucci's foot when they first meet. Through the time he spends with Pucci, DIO comes to trust him enough to allow Pucci to inherit control of his plan. At one point, DIO forced Pucci's hand into his head and nearly had his Stand DISC removed to test Pucci's loyalty to him.<br />
*[[Vanilla Ice]]: While the former is fanatically loyal to his cause, even willing to chop off his head to prove his worth, DIO annoyingly notes that Vanilla Ice often forgets about the doors after he uses his Stand, [[Cream]], to travel via making a hole in the wall. Still DIO highly respected Ice's abilities, refusing to use the blood of someone of his caliber to heal himself.<br />
*[[Wang Chan]]: While at first a provider of his secret oriental poison that was crucial in killing Dario and attempting to kill George, after becoming a vampire, Dio used him as a scout and aide once his head is chopped off. Despite his dependence on Wang Chan, Dio doesn't take his insults to Jonathan lightly and threatens him for it.<br />
*[[Pet Shop]]: While not much is known about their relationship, DIO personally selected Pet Shop as the guardian of his temple while he was in Egypt.<br />
*[[Enya the Hag]]: Enya was one of DIO's most loyal followers and supporters. Despite her loyalty, DIO secretly implanted her with a flesh bud to insure her secrecy.<br />
*[[N'Doul]]: DIO was the first person to see N'Doul's worth which caused N'Doul to admire DIO. N'Doul was so loyal to DIO, that he killed himself in order to prevent himself from leaking valuable information.<br />
*[[Johngalli A.]]: While there is no on-screen interaction between them, Johngalli was highly loyal to DIO, as shown when he framed Jolyne for murder and attempted to kill her and Jotaro to avenge him.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Jonathan Joestar]]: One of the most impactful relationships Dio ever had was with his adoptive brother, Jonathan Joestar. He initially viewed his adoptive brother as a stepping stone and pest to be driven to despair and abused in order to gain the Joestar family fortune. After being beaten once, he viewed him as more of a threat, feigning brotherly bonds in public, while secretly poisoning George Joestar in order to get his fortune quicker. He intended to kill Jonathan with the [[Stone Mask]], but upon discovering the hidden power to unlock the vampire powers of man, he decided to use it on himself in order to become one. After another failed attempt to kill his adopted brother, due to his ego, Dio decides to have others face him rather than turn Jonathan into a zombie himself. After being bested by Jonathan, he quickly changes his mind, only to be thwarted once again. In their final confrontation, Dio admits he respects Jonathan in a twisted sense (to the point of scolding Wang Chan for taunting him) and is genuinely shocked when Jonathan dies. Dio would use Jonathan's body as a host, defining the destiny between him and the [[Joestar Family]] for centuries to come.<br />
*[[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]]: Due to Dio having used the Stone Mask and becoming a Vampire, Zeppeli immediately viewed Dio as an enemy once he learned about the incident at the Joestar Mansion and due to his own father using the same mask to become a Vampire himself. Dio himself is dismissive of Zeppeli's hatred towards his vampiric ways and connection to the Stone Mask, only viewing Zeppeli's mastery of the unfamiliar Ripple as nothing more than magic tricks.<br />
*[[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]]: After hearing from Jonathan what Dio was doing to [[George Joestar I]], Speedwagon decided to help with finding the man that sold Dio the poison. Dio openly declares that after killing Jonathan, he would dispose of Speedwagon as well for being involved. After everything that had happened at the Joestar Mansion, Speedwagon went along with Jonathan and Zeppeli to defeat Dio, knowing that he was too dangerous now as a vampire to be left running around.<br />
*[[George Joestar I|George Joestar]]: While George has always treated Dio with kindness and respect, Dio only saw George as a stepping stone in his quest for wealth. Thus, Dio feigned being the perfect ward to George, and even called him father despite having no such views.<br />
*[[Dire]], [[Straizo]], and [[Tonpetty]]: Being Ripple Warriors, the three knew the dangers of the Stone Mask and viewed Dio as an enemy because of his use of it. Out of the three of them, Dire was the one who really wanted to defeat Dio on his own, due to having been a friend of Zeppeli's for many years and Dio having a role in his death. At the time, Straizo knew that defeating Dio was important; however, many years later, he would admit to the older Speedwagon that he was envious of Dio due to the fact he would never age while Straizo would. This envy became so much that he would later use the Stone Mask on himself just so he could become young again.<br />
*[[Joseph Joestar]]: DIO needed Joseph in order to complete the merger of his head with Jonathan's body, secretly manipulating his minions to bring him closer and closer in order to drain his blood. At first, Joseph was unaware of his existence due to Speedwagon making sure to keep the secret of the Vampire's existence prior to his battle with Straizo. His hatred for DIO intensified, however, when he learnt the whole truth and that he had stolen the body of his grandfather, Jonathan Joestar, to use as his own. This hatred got to the breaking point when DIO's very existence threatened the life of Joseph's daughter [[Holy Kujo|Holy]]. Figuring out that since DIO was the cause of all the Stands in the Joestar family activating, it was more than likely that killing him would save Holy. That plan in mind, Joseph, along with his grandson Jotaro, his old friend [[Muhammad Avdol]], and new ally Noriaki Kakyoin, decide to go to Egypt where DIO had gone to hide, and kill him.<br />
*[[Noriaki Kakyoin]]: Having met DIO on a holiday in Egypt with his family and then put under his control with a Flesh Bud, Kakyoin was loyal to him and would do anything he wanted. However, upon having the bud removed by Jotaro and seeing the harm DIO was causing towards the innocent Holy Kujo, who had shown him kindness as he was recovering at the Kujo residence, Kakyoin decided to go with Joseph, Jotaro, and Avdol to Egypt to defeat DIO.<br />
*[[Jean Pierre Polnareff]]: Like Kakyoin, he too met DIO and was placed under his control. After having the Flesh Bud removed by Jotaro, Polnareff decided to join the team, though at first for his own goals, as Polnareff theorized that DIO would know where his [[Sherry Polnareff|sister's]] [[J. Geil|killer]] would be. Even after he avenged her sister's death, Polnareff chose to stay with the group to defeat DIO. After the deaths of both Avdol and Iggy, Polnareff vowed to defeat DIO no matter what.<br />
*[[Muhammad Avdol]]: Unlike Kakyoin and Polnareff, Avdol recognized who DIO was upon meeting him, due to having heard about DIO from Joseph. As such, Avdol knew the man was an enemy immediately and managed to escape from him before he could be put under his control. With DIO threatening Holy's life due to him activating all the Stands in the Joestar bloodline, Avdol, along with Jotaro, Joseph, and Kakyoin decided to journey to Egypt to defeat Dio.<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Despite DIO viewing Jotaro as nothing but an extension of Jonathan, DIO was fully aware how much of a threat Jotaro was. While Jonathan was an opponent DIO respected, Jotaro was an opponent DIO ''feared'' (although just a bit) since Jotaro could move in the stopped time. Jotaro himself however, saw DIO as nothing but a necessary evil he has to defeat in order to save his mother. After DIO had apparently killed his grandfather Joseph right in front of him, Jotaro's hatred for DIO finally intensified to where, for the first time, Jotaro was visibly enraged and acted on anger. After a long and grueling fight with the vampire, Jotaro finally managed to outwit and kill DIO.<br />

===Relationships in Over Heaven===<br />
<sup>(The information below derives from a Light Novel not written by Araki. As such, it may not be considered canon.)</sup><br />
<br />
*[[Daniel J. D'Arby|Daniel J.]] and [[Telence T. D'Arby]]: DIO saw the D'Arby brothers as important tools to enter into heaven. While he believed their souls were too impure to enter themselves, he acknowledged their ability to manipulate souls as useful for his own ascension.<br />
*[[Enya the Hag]]: While the novel doesn't add too much to their relationship, DIO states that he would've considered letting her bear his child if she was younger.<br />
*[[Dario Brando]]: While their relationship is about as negative as it is in the manga, it is revealed that he hated his father for allowing him to enter the Joestar Mansion because he thought that one act of kindness allowed Dario to get into heaven, and one of the reasons he wanted to get into heaven was to kill his father again, before merely looking at it as a side opportunity.<br />
*Dio's Mother: In the novel it is revealed that his mother taught him everything he knew about the world. While DIO is unsure if heaven really exists, he believes that her death saved her from her living hell of a life. It is revealed that the words in his diary are from a nursery song she sung him.<br />
*Unborn Sibling: It is revealed that Dio's mother was pregnant with an unborn sibling but ended up miscarrying him/her.<br />
*[[Erina Pendleton]]: DIO respects Erina's strength and in some ways saw her as a bigger threat than Jonathan. DIO theorizes that Erina Joestar placed both him, herself, and the infant Lisa-Lisa in the casket on the boat where Jonathan died in order to escape the boat's explosion. DIO at first believes that Erina did this in hope DIO may return some day as a better man with Jonathan's body. He quickly dismisses the idea, stating that if it was the case that Erina reminded him of his mother.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:GIBT.png|thumb|B.T., the protagonist in ''[[Cool Shock B.T.]]'', is a basis for young Dio.<ref name="JoJomenom">"Manga Art of Hirohiko Araki" p.99-102</ref>]]<br />
<br />
*Dio's name in ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' is written normally, but is later spelled in English as {{Nihongo|DIO|{{Ruby|D|デ}}{{Ruby|I|ィ}}{{Ruby|O|オ}}}} in ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', ''[[Stone Ocean]]'', and one chapter of Phantom Blood.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 17}}</ref> This was probably done to accentuate his metamorphosis as a villain, as well as his more intimidating, fear-mongering, and overall villainous personality.<ref name="DioRMX"><sub>The Miasma of the Void, Vanilla Ice - Vol.9 "Shueisha Jump Remix ''Stardust Crusaders'' Edition" [[:File:SecretJoJoSJRVanillaIce.png|P170 The Secret of JOJO Characters]]</sub></ref><br />
*In [[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]]'s top Ten Favourite Characters in 2000, DIO ranked as 10th, being the third main villain in the countdown.<br />
*In [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven]], Dio Brando and [[Diego Brando]]'s themes are remixes of each other. This is also the case for DIO and [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando from a Parallel World]].<br />
*Araki considers Dio to be 'the true protagonist' of ''Phantom Blood''. Not only did Araki develop Dio's character design before Jonathan, Dio also makes his debut first. Araki pondered in deciding what would be the scariest factor Dio would have, and decided that "evil from the past" coming to get the present descendant would be the most frightening thing. Dio was developed with this concept in mind. After this, Jonathan Joestar's 'light' was designed to counter Dio's 'darkness'.<ref>''JOJOmenon''</ref><br />
*In a spring 2018 interview with [[Shueisha]]'s Kotoba magazine, Araki describes how {{W|Blade Runner}} had influenced his work back when it premiered. He mentions Dio's blond hair and muscular build in particular as being influenced by the Blade Runner character, Roy Batty.<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-02-27/hirohiko-araki-reveals-which-blade-runner-character-inspired-dio/.128280 Hirohiko Araki Reveals Which Blade Runner Character Inspired DIO]</ref><br />
*In a 2007 [[Interview Archive#Eureka (11/2007)|Eureka interview]], Araki states that Dio is the type who would be comfortable being with a man or woman, however, he will do anything to get what he wants and would "absolutely never pour 100% of his love into a specific person."<ref name=eureka /><br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
Wekapipo is a remarkably stern and serious individual, focusing on whatever goal he has and tolerating little the hijinks of Magent Magent.<br />
<br />
[[File:Wekapipo personality.png|thumb|Wekapipo would do anything to protect his sister]]<br />
During his youth, Wekapipo was entirely devoted to his sister. He had gone out of his way to force a divorce after learning that her husband beat her. The news of her supposed death made him seemingly depressed and he has since then had a bleak outlook of life.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 51}}, p5-24</ref><br />
<br />
Wekapipo is a cold and somber man, being constantly focused on an objective and coldly working towards it. During a fight, he's been noted to pay attention to the strengths and weaknesses of his enemy and methodically suppress each of their advantages. Wekapipo does not tolerate his partner distracting him from their mission and repeatedly tells him to stop fooling around, be it chit-chatting or gloating in a fight.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 53}}, p41</ref> Having the sole ambition of obtaining a comfortable life, he wouldn't hesitate to betray Funny Valentine nor prepare to work against Gyro Zeppeli, aiming to join the winning side.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 67}}, p21</ref><br />
<br />
Wekapipo possesses an honorable side, being respectful of the prowess of the Zeppeli Family's Spin and acts accordingly.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 52}}, p45</ref> Moreover, he agreed to temporarily help Gyro and Johnny after they revealed that the Zeppelis have been taking care of his sister. Upon being defeated, he tried to kill himself in order to escape the dishonor a loss would bring him before Valentine,<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 54}}, p53</ref> although he implied that he would die for it at Valentine's hands nonetheless.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
{{Main|Steel Ball}}<br />
<br />
As a former royal guard member, Wekapipo possesses a unique type of [[Steel Ball|steel ball]] that is normally wielded by the imperial guard serving the royal family.<br />

|Desc = Wrecking Ball is similar in size to the [[Zeppeli Family|Zeppeli family]]'s steel balls. Smaller balls called satellites are attached to the ball that can separate and strike on their own. Even if the satellites do not hit their target, the shockwaves caused by the satellite will induce {{Nihongo|{{W|hemispatial neglect}}|左半身失調|hidarihanmi shitchō|lit. "left-half ataxia"}}, causing the victim to lose all sense of feeling in their left side.<br />

<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:wekapipo sister beaten.png|thumb|left|Wekapipo discovers his sister is being beaten]]<br />
Wekapipo hails from the [[Kingdom of Naples]]; his only family was his dear little sister. Wekapipo became one of the royal guards and learned to use the [[Spin]] with his Wrecking Balls. He rose to become one of the elite guards, working directly for the royal family. When his sister was 17 (and he 24), Wekapipo arranged for her to marry the son of a wealthy financial commissioner, assuring her wealth. Incidentally, the husband was a friend of his in the guard. However, six months later, Wekapipo visited his sister. He found her sobbing in a corner, he face swollen because of her husband's beating. Furious, Wekapipo wanted to seek the husband and his sister begged him to stop as this was a matter between husband and wife and that it was her fault. Wekapipo's little sister accidentally knocked over a vase and Wekapipo realized that she was blind from one eye. <br />
<br />
[[File:wekapipo.png|thumb|Wekapipo duels his brother-in-law and exiled from Naples for it]]<br />
Wekapipo blamed himself for his sister's woe and decided to annul the marriage. Pulling a few strings, Wekapipo managed to secure a permission from the Church to have the marriage annulled, helped by the fact that his sister didn't have a child yet. Wekapipo was prepared to lose his position but something worse happened. His brother-in-law confronted him and beat him up, furious at the humiliation of having the Church permitting the annulation of his marriage. Wekapipo begged the husband to divorce her and had to listen to him say his sister was only good enough in bed when he beat her. The husband decided to take Wekapipo's life in a duel. The next day, Wekapipo went to the duel and they fought using their [[Steel Ball]]s. In the first exchange, Wekapipo avoided the husband's satellite while his satellite blew the brother-in-law's eye, killing him. However, the witnesses that the husband had brought with him attacked. Wekapipo was stunned with a Steel Ball to the gut and the head of the witnesses told that, because the husband's father was an influential figure in the kingdom, he would be "erased". Despite Wekapipo's protestations, the man, revealed to be [[Gregorio Zeppeli]], condemned him to exile, forcing him to leave his nearly blind sister to nearly fend off for herself. Cursing the executioner, Wekapippo was knocked out and forced to leave the [[Kingdom of Naples]].<br />
<br />
Wekapipo entered [[Funny Valentine]]'s service. Learning of his sister's death, Wekapipo focused on his new job with nothing else in life to look forward to.<br />
<br />
===Steel Ball Run===<br />
<br />
====Fighting Gyro and Johnny====<br />
[[File:wekapipo magent.png|thumb|left|Wekapipo is paired with Magent Magent]]<br />
Wekapipo is dispatched alongside [[Magent Magent]]. The two stand guard in a vantage point overlooking the frozen strait between Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Magent tries to converse, mentioning the newly invented airplanes and then attempts a joke. However, Wekapipo doesn't let himself be distracted by Magent's antics and his gloom frustrates Magent. Knowing about a wolf who's the host of the new Corpse Part, Wekapipo and Magent wait for [[Johnny Joestar]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli]] to appear. Wekapipo advises Magent not to take the [[Spin]] lightly.<br />
<br />
The pair see Johnny and Gyro and approache to attack. Wekapipo throws his [[Steel Ball]]. Gyro throws his own Steel Ball to stop it, but Wekapipo's Ball shoots the small beads embedded on it at the duo. The left side ataxia sets in for Johnny and Gyro; Magent Magent goes to their left on his sled and tries to shoot, but Johnny turns to the right until he sees Magent and shoots him. Magent shoots thus unveils his Stand [[20th Century Boy]], which makes him invulnerable as long as he's sitting or kneeling. Gyro also throws a Steel Ball but Magent remains impervious to the [[Spin]]. Moreover, Gyro's left hand is wounded because of Magent's shots. Wekapipo notices the wolf and throws two Balls at Gyro. When Gyro tries to counter them, his Balls are pushed aside and Gyro understands Wekapipo's strategy. By attacking them on the water and attacking his hands, Wekapipo has isolated Gyro in a battlefield where he cannot closely observe nature to create a perfect Spin, thus depowering him greatly. Johnny stops the satellites of the second ball, allowing Magent to shoot the wolf. Then, a stray satellite flies towards and Gyro is forced shield Johnny with his other hand, damaging it and preventing Gyro from faking the Golden Rectangle with his hands. Wekapipo induces the left side ataxia again and Magent disappears from the heroes' sight. Gyro only manage to grab one Steel Ball before the effects fully kick in. He throws his Ball in the general direction of Magent and does hit his shoulder. Gyro ducks to avoid two bullets to the head but receives one in the guts. Gyro uses the bullet as a weapon and throws it at Magent, who deflects the bullet upward. Despite Wekapipo's warning, Magent drops his guard and the bullet then falls down. It pierces Magent's face and takes him out.<br />
<br />
[[File:gyro vs wekapipo.png|thumb|Wekapipo duels Gyro Zeppeli]]<br />
Wekapipo remains. Gyro subsequently manages to take back his Balls. However, Wekapipo is still more powerful than them. During the next throw, Gyro decides to directly attack Wekapipo, trusting Johnny to shoot down the enemy's Ball. This allows Gyro to run towards the wolf (and the Corpse Parts of which it is the host) which can serve as a reference for the perfect Spin. However, Wekapipo protects himself from Gyro's Spin by spinning a Ball in his hand, hardening his body to resist Gyro's ball. Wekapipo then throws his other Ball, which Gyro must counter. The satellites then shoot the ice, hiding the wolf and the Legs underwater. The left side ataxia begins again and Gyro has only one Ball. Confident, Wekapipo throws both of his Balls. However, Gyro then throws his one Ball at Wekapipo's own and destroys both. It is revealed that luckily, it suddenly started snowing and Gyro was able to create a perfect Spin by using the snowflakes as a reference. Wekapipo suspects a plan from Gyro's part but the executioner tells that it was merely a stroke of luck.Wekapipo is defeated and tries to commit suicide, but Gyro stops him. Gyro then explains that Wekapipo's sister is in the care of the [[Zeppeli Family]], thus Wekapipo accepts to help them find [[Lucy Steel]].<br />
<br />
====Guarding Steven Steel====<br />
[[File:wekapipo vs magent.png|thumb|left|Wekapipo fights Magent]]<br />
Wekapipo reappears in Philadelphia. At first, he hears about [[Lucy Steel]]'s death and verifies her tombstone. He reports it to Gyro Zeppeli but Gyro is skeptical and suspects that [[Hot Pants]] and her [[Cream Starter]] were involved somehow. Gyro tells Wekapipo that Lucy is still probably near the President; Wekapipo continues his mission to seek and protect Lucy but doesn't want to attack the President. Gyro advises Wekapipo to seek [[Steven Steel]].<br />
<br />
When Wekapipo finds Steel in his coach, the old man has been shot. Magent tries to ambush Wekapipo, hidden on the coach and tries to shoot. However, the horses are startled and Wekapipo sees Magent's shadow. Magent shoots and Wekapipo throws a Wrecking Ball through the roof, grazing each other. The satellites fly towards Magent, who protects himself with [[20th Century Boy]]. With Magent immobilized, Wekapipo climbs on the coach whose horses start to gallop. Wekapipo tries to stab Wekapipo in the face with a knife, but it breaks. He then tries to smash his head with a direct throw to the skull but 20th Century Boy makes Magent invulnerable. Wekapipo realizes that Magent must have heard about Lucy and sought Steel to have money and revenge. Looking at Steel's items, he sees that Steven has found that Lucy is disguised as the first lady, [[Scarlet Valentine]]. The coach approaches Independence Hall and a squad of guards approach to order him to stop. Using his left side ataxia, Wekapipo eludes the guards and plans on getting rid of Magent first.<br />
<br />
Near the Delaware river, Wekapipo sees a dinosaut slip out of Magent's coat. Suspicious, he then sees smoke coming out of Magen's coat, opens it and sees that Magent has lit a bunch of dynamite sticks. He throws a Steel Ball at Steel Ball to harden his body and uses his other ball to induce left side ataxia on the horses, making them turn right and throw both Wekapipo and Magent in the water. The explosion still sends shrapnel at Wekapipo, who is hurt and in the water. Magent cancels his Stand and takes out his gun, preparing to shoot the Neapolitan. Magent gloats, stating that he always takes his revenge. However, Magent is suddenly tied by cables. The Ball Wekapipo had used on the horse has pulled cables around the tire axle and tied Magent, pulling him underwater. With Magent neutralized for good, Wekapipo can go out of the water However, Magent realizes that [[Diego Brando|Diego]] too now must have heard about [[Lucy Steel]] with his dinosaur.<br />
<br />
====D4C====<br />
[[File:alternate universe shooting.png|thumb|Diego & Wekapipo shoot alternate Johnnys]]<br />
Wekapipo follows [[Diego Brando|Diego]] near the Independence Hall, intending on allying him and help him fight the President the moment [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] goes after Diego's Left Eye. In the streets, he incidentally bumps against [[D-I-S-C-O]]. After taking a turn, Wekapipo suddenly loses traces of Diego but sees a gun lying nearby. A figure appears from under a flag and attacks Wekapipo. Wekapipo throws his [[Steel Ball]] and induces the left side ataxia. Wekapipo uses this opportunity to take the gun and shoot at the figure, but realizes that he's just shot [[Johnny Joestar]]. Horrified, Wekapipo sees Johnny aiming at him and has no choice but to shoot again but Johnny escapes in the sewers. A couple of little girls see him from a park and Wekapipo retreats, tossing the gun. Confused, Wekapipo sees Diego approach him.<br />
<br />
[[File:wekapipo alternate death.png|thumb|left|Wekapipo's death]]<br />
Diego asks Wekapipo if he's seen him shoot Johnny but this Wekapipo hasn't. Sensing Valentine approaching, Diego deploys his dinosaurs to seek him and tells Wekapipo that they must ally themselves now. However, Wekapipo hesitates because it seems Diego lured him into a trap. Somehow, Valentine decimates the dinosaurs and Diego, to gain Wekapipo's trust before it is too late, tells him that he too shot Johnny. The two understand that they both shot a Johnny Joestar and that the President's ability is involved. Sensing bits of dinosaurs falling near him, Diego looks up and sees Valentine and his Stand [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]] attacking him. Wekapipo intervenes and hits Valentine with a [[Steel Ball]] but the President's face is preserved, the zone of the impact replaced by a hole. Valentine attacks but Diego turns into a dinosaur, evading D4C's strikes easily. Diego slams Valentine against the wall but the President suddenly disappears. Valentine somehow reemerges from Diego's back and attacks. With his Wrecking Ball, Wekapipo induces a left side ataxia in Valentine. Tossing a pebble at Valentine, Diego confirms Valentine is vulnerable and leaps to attack but Valentine then takes a flag and covers himself with it, disappearing again. Sensing Valentine, Diego tries to lift the flag to see what's under it and finds Valentine. Valentine grabs him and forces him into the flag. Confused, Wekapipo then sees Diego write on the ground with his spur, telling Wekapipo to approach. Wekapipo approaches the flag and Diego drags him both into it. The portal between worlds reopens, and Wekapipo meets his counterpart. They collide and explode in a bunch of cubes. Wekapipo's life ends there.<br />

{{Quote|I pray for your safety. I owe the boss for the fruitful and fulfilling life I've led.|Pericolo|{{Ch|Chapter 507}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Pericolo'''|ペリーコロ|Perīkoro}} is a minor ally featured in the 5th part of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]], [[Vento Aureo]].<br />
<br />
Pericolo is a {{W|Caporegime|Capo}} in [[Passione]]. He first appears to retrieve Polpo's ¥600,000,000 from [[Bruno Bucciarati|Bucciarati]] and grants him the rank of capo. Immediately after, he gives Bucciarati the mission to bodyguard [[Trish Una]], the [[Boss]]'s daughter. Unlike many of his co-mobsters, Pericolo is an ordinary human that does not possess a [[Stand]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Pericolo anime fullbody.png|frameless|left|100px]]<br />
Pericolo is a short, mature man, adorning a beard connected to his short hair and a mustache. One of his eyes constantly wanders, alternating between the two but never at the same time.<br />
<br />
He is introduced in a janitor disguise but dons a suit for his later operations.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Pericolo greatly appreciates [[Diavolo|the boss]] for giving him a life when nobody else would take him and takes his job very seriously, to the point of committing suicide after passing on a message through [[Leone Abbacchio|Abbacchio]]'s [[Moody Blues]] when presented with the order to do so. He is also a friend of [[Bruno Bucciarati]], who greatly appreciates the old man's presence and advice.<br />
<br />
The anime adaptation develops his character, showing him as a particularly amiable man despite his job. He is notably shown greeting Giorno Giovanna and welcoming him into the gang as well as warmly laughing when Mista and Narancia excitedly ask to touch Polpo's treasure.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:PericoloCapo.png|thumb|185px|left|Pericolo's status in the Passione hierarchy: a Caporegime]]<br />
Pericolo is introduced in a janitor disguise along with a disguised [[Trish Una]]. Upon receiving [[Polpo]]'s [[Find Polpo's Fortune!|treasure]], he grants Bucciarati news of his promotion to capo and gives him his mission to protect Trish before leaving.<br />
<br />
Pericolo is next shown through Moody Blues replaying his presence within [[Coco Jumbo]]'s room. After relaying the message of a CD being hidden in a statue, he burns the photograph of the area the disk is in and shoots himself in the head to prevent himself from being caught and interrogated by the enemy. Unfortunately, the members of [[Squadra Esecuzioni]] piece together the photograph anyway and chase Bucciarati's group to their next location.<br />

They are deceased members of La [[Squadra Esecuzioni]], who were executed by the [[Diavolo|Boss]] because they tried to unmask his identity.

==Personality==<br />
Little is known about Sorbet and Gelato's personalities, as they died prior to the events of ''[[Vento Aureo]]''. However, they are described as heinous criminals and were always very close, leading to rumors about the true nature of their relationship.<ref name="C470">{{Ch|Chapter 470}}</ref> They are rebellious as they decide to defy the rules of [[Passione]]. Sorbet and Gelato risking their lives to investigate the [[Diavolo|Boss]]'s identity by themselves could indicate either overconfidence or bravery. <br />
<br />
The anime expands on their personalities. [[Illuso]] teases that they're a couple and might be getting it on somewhere since they were missing. [[Risotto Nero]] mentions that the two are motivated by money and that Sorbet specifically would never miss out on a chance to get rich. He always made sure to show up and claim his share after assassination missions. When the group realizes they must have tried discovering the Boss's identity, Illuso isn't surprised of the possibility since the two were crazy.<ref name="GW10">{{Ep|GW Episode 10}}</ref><br />

As members of [[La Squadra Esecuzioni]], it's inferred from [[Pericolo]]'s remarks in [[Chapter 469]] and the diagram in [[Chapter 470]] that both Sorbet and Gelato possess Stands, however their abilities were never revealed in the story.<ref name="C470" /> It's unclear if they were able to use them properly.<ref name="gogo">[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]]: STANDS</ref><br />

<br />
==History==<br />
Sorbet and Gelato are introduced during [[Formaggio]]'s recollection of his motivations for wanting to kidnap [[Trish Una]]. Both were members of [[Passione]] specialized in assassination and were always so close to each other that they were rumored to be a couple. Apparently disgruntled by the lack of money [[Diavolo|their boss]] granted them, they attempted to pursue his identity to steal his territory. This results in the two being abducted. The anime reveals that they were caught by [[Cioccolata]] and [[Secco]]. Sorbet and Gelato's team attempt to search for them but to no avail.<br />
<br />
Gelato is tied up and forced to watch Sorbet being cross-sectioned into thirty-six pieces with a sharp knife, starting with his toes. His face distorts in fear during the torture. Gelato becomes overcome with fear and despair seeing his partner gruesomely tortured. He commits suicide by swallowing his cloth gag into his throat to suffocate, saving himself from further terror. Formaggio discovers Gelato's corpse inside a house, with the cloth still stuck in his throat and a note attached that read "Punishment".<br />
<br />
Days later, thirty-six individual cross-sections of Sorbet are delivered in individual packages to the assassin team. Each body part was preserved in formalin and placed inside frames.<ref name="C475">{{Ch|Chapter 475}}</ref> In the anime, Pesci realizes that it's Sorbet based on the color of his nail polish. The team members mourn for their loss and Risotto eventually tells them to forget all about Sorbet and Gelato. They decide to never pursue the Boss's identity again until they find out the Boss had a daughter.<ref name="GW10" /><br />
<br />
They are later shown being recounted by [[Risotto Nero]] as he remembers his rebellion against the boss to avenge them.<ref name="C545">{{Ch|Chapter 545}}</ref><br />

<br />
*The deaths of Sorbet and Gelato are likely a reference to {{W|Luca Brasi}}'s murder of two enemy mafioso in ''{{W|The Godfather}}'' series, in which one is hacked to pieces alive (Sorbet) and the other swallows his cloth gag to save himself from a gruesome death (Gelato).<br />

<br />
The {{nihongo|'''Agents of DIO'''|{{Ruby|DIO|ディオ}}の手下|DIO no Teshita}}<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 136}}</ref><ref group="TL Note">The name "Agents of DIO" is never acknowledged and should not be taken as an official name for the group but as a factual denomination which was used in canon.</ref> are the primary antagonistic force in the original universe of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', with its members appearing in ''[[Phantom Blood]]'', ''[[Battle Tendency]]'', ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]'' and ''[[Stone Ocean]]''.<br />
<br />
The group is composed of the many people [[Dio Brando]] has gathered around him through sheer charisma and/or due to his various desires of dominating the world, [[DIO's Diary|finding "Heaven"]], and destroying the [[Joestar Group]]. Even after DIO's death, the remnants of his group appear in later parts. In ''[[Stone Ocean]]'', DIO's followers serve as major antagonists continuing his legacy.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Phantom Blood===<br />
[[File:PB Agents of Dio.png|thumb|Dio and [[Executed Zombies|four of his subordinates]]]]<br />
Dio meets [[Wang Chan]], who becomes his first loyal subordinate after providing Dio with poison to slowly kill his [[Dario Brando|father]] and [[George Joestar I]]. Later, Dio steals the [[Stone Mask]] from the [[Joestar Mansion]] and uses it to become a [[Vampire]] with George's blood. He then creates an army of [[Zombie]]s under his control, including [[Jack the Ripper]], [[Bruford]], [[Tarkus]], [[Doobie]], [[Adams]], [[Page, Jones, Plant, and Bornnam]].<br />
<br />
Dio's group was nearly exterminated by the [[Joestar Group]] at [[Windknight's Lot]] during the night of December 2, 1888. His last known servant, Wang Chan, dies during the sinking of a ship headed towards America, leaving Dio trapped inside his [[Minor Items|coffin]] with [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]]'s body.<br />
<br />
===Battle Tendency===<br />
Although Dio supposedly died after the events of ''Phantom Blood'' and his followers were thought to be killed by [[Jonathan Joestar]] and his allies, there were some minions that survived, including a [[Superior Officer Zombie|bloodsucking zombie]], which disguises itself as a major squad leader in the {{W|Royal Air Force}}. He is later killed by [[Lisa Lisa]] as revenge for [[George Joestar II]]'s murder. <br />
<br />
After witnessing Dio's dominant power fifty years ago, [[Straizo]] is unintentionally convinced by Dio to betray the Joestar Group and becomes a vampire in order to gain eternal youth. Additionally, [[Kars]] is revealed as being the man responsible for creating the stone masks which caused Dio's rise to power.<br />
<br />
===Stardust Crusaders===<br />
[[File:DIO Agents 1st half.png|thumb|Agents on the journey to Egypt]]<br />
Nearly a hundred years later in 1983, DIO resurfaces when his coffin is pulled out of the ocean's depths by a group of treasure hunters. He obtains a [[Stand]] from [[Enya the Hag]] when [[Diavolo]] sells his five [[Bow and Arrow|Arrows]] to Enya. With Enya as his adviser, DIO forms a new group, mainly consisting of human Stand users and only a few Vampires. In secret, he befriends a priest named [[Enrico Pucci]] and unknowingly impregnates four women with his children. He recruits members from all around the world who are primarily mercenaries, and manipulates many of them with large sums of money like [[Hol Horse]] and also has a number of devoted followers, like [[N'Doul]], [[Enya the Hag]] or [[Vanilla Ice]]. For more hesitant or untrustworthy followers, such as [[Noriaki Kakyoin]] and [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]], DIO uses flesh buds to enthrall them. However, even Enya had a spore secretly implanted in her brain.<br />
<br />
[[File:DIO Agents 2nd half.png|thumb|Dio's [[Egypt 9 Glory Gods]]]]<br />
During the fifty days it takes for the third [[Joestar Group]] to travel to Egypt, DIO's minions are defeated one at a time as they attempt to assassinate the Joestars. Although DIO fails to achieve his goal and the majority of his group is defeated once again, he and [[Vanilla Ice]] succeed in killing half of the Joestar Group before their deaths. After [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] and [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] leave DIO's body out in the desert to evaporate with the rising sun, Jotaro finds [[DIO's Diary]] and learns of what DIO had planned. Considering the journal dangerous, Jotaro burns it so that no one else could ever read it.<br />
<br />
While some members of DIO's group are confirmed to be deceased, the fates of the other agents are unknown after their defeats.<br />
<br />
===Diamond is Unbreakable===<br />
[[Yoshihiro Kira]] and [[Father Nijimura|Mr. Nijimura]] were recruited by DIO in the past and both retrieved a [[Bow and Arrow]] from Enya. As a result, many citizens of [[Morioh]] gained Stands, including the sons of the aforementioned.<br />
<br />
Due to DIO's death, the flesh bud inside Nijimura bursts and he suffers from a horrific transformation leaving him unable to die. Yoshihiro defects from DIO's group and turns his attention to helping [[Yoshikage Kira|his son]] achieve his goals instead.<br />
<br />
Whereas Mr. Nijimura befriends Morioh's Joestar group, Yoshihiro and his son are killed during the battle with [[Josuke Higashikata]] and his allies.<br />
<br />
===Vento Aureo===<br />
Around 12 years after Polnareff is freed from DIO's brainwashing and leaves the organization, he becomes an ally of DIO's son, [[Giorno Giovanna]]. During the fight against Diavolo, Polnareff is killed just as his [[Silver Chariot|Stand]] goes out of control. However, due to his Stand's [[Chariot Requiem|new ability]], Polnareff's soul is swapped with a [[Coco Jumbo|turtle]]'s and he remains living despite his original body dying.<br />
<br />
===Stone Ocean===<br />
The final remaining servants of DIO's group are Enrico Pucci and [[Johngalli A.]] with the goal of avenging DIO by killing [[Jotaro Kujo]] and his daughter, [[Jolyne Cujoh]]. Pucci desires to continue DIO's dream of finding Heaven and recruits DIO's sons (except Giorno) as well as the prison staff and inmates to help him defeat the Joestar Group. Pucci prefers to hide his identity and thus prefers to interact with his agents through [[Whitesnake]]. He's sometimes directly instructed other inmates such as [[Miraschon]] but on these occasions he erases the memories of said agent in case they are defeated and someone looks at their memory. Pucci does interact directly with DIO's sons.<br />
<br />
Pucci does succeed in killing the Joestars and their allies, and almost manages to create a world where everyone will see their [[Fate]] just as DIO wanted. However, [[Emporio Alnino|Emporio]] kills him before he is able to do so, making the world free of Pucci's influence. In the alternate universe, the deceased Joestars and their friends are reborn as alternative counterparts, with different lives and memories.<br />
<br />
Like the previous incarnation of the group, while some of its members are confirmed deceased, the fates of other members are left ambiguous, including the fate of Dio's sons, Ungalo and Rikiel.<br />

}}{{Nihongo|'''Gold Experience Requiem'''|ゴールド・{{Ruby|E|エクスペリエンス}}・レクイエム|Gōrudo Ekusuperiensu Rekuiemu}} is the thirty-eigth episode of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind|Golden Wind]]'' and the one-hundred-fifty-first episode of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation|anime]]. The episode covers from [[Chapter 588]] to [[Chapter 591]] of the original [[Vento Aureo|manga]].<br />
<br />
[[Giorno]] now possesses [[Gold Experience Requiem]] and defeats [[Diavolo]]. The story jumps back to the past, presenting the time [[Mista]] had to investigate the mysterious death of a florist's daughter.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
A dramatic recap of the last episodes renarrates the events of the last night, from [[Chariot Requiem]]'s appearance to [[Giorno]] seizing the [[Arrow]], to the tune of {{W|O Fortuna}}. The plot then briefly jumps back to the past with [[Team Bucciarati]] sharing a meal together.<br />
<br />
[[File:GW ep38 Diavolo defeated.png|left|thumb|220x220px|Diavolo is beaten by Gold Experience Requiem]]<br />
[[Diavolo]] and [[King Crimson]] get heavily pummelled by [[Gold Experience Requiem]] and are sent into the Tiber. Mista and [[Trish Una|Trish]] are amazed at Giorno's victory but Trish then raises the alarm as she cannot see Diavolo's body. It is shown that Diavolo is now further down the river and is climbing into a sewer, having somehow survived his encounter with Gold Experience Requiem. However, he then meets with a group of homeless men who just injected themselves with drugs. One of the delirious men then stabs Diavolo in the chest in an attempt to protect his coat, which horrifies Diavolo as he finds himself defenseless. Suddenly, Diavolo blacks out and wake up in an unknown room. Confused, Diavolo sees a doctor named [[Monica Ultello]] record her operation, which is revealed to be an autopsy on Diavolo himself. Diavolo is unable to move or be heard by Ultello, and watches with horror as she harvests his organs. Diavolo blacks out and now finds himself in the streets. Remembering everything, the once almighty Boss is bewildered by what is happening to him. Startled by a bystander's dog, he moves back but trips into the road and on the path of a speeding car.<br />
<br />
[[File:GW ep38 spirits in the sky.png|thumb|220x220px|Giorno sees the spirits of his friends in the sky]]<br />
Back to Rome, Trish senses that Diavolo is still alive, but Giorno reassures her that although he doesn't understand Gold Experience Requiem's ability, he is sure that Diavolo is now trapped out of reality himself and is living a neverending demise. Diavolo is last seen in the countryside despairing of his countless deaths and shouting at a little girl to stay away from him. Mista suddenly remembers [[Bruno Bucciarati|Bucciarati]] and, assuming that he's still alive, tells his companions to hurry back to the Colosseum and heal him. Reminded of his partner's death, Giorno feels distressed but then witnesses Bucciarati, [[Leone Abbacchio|Abbacchio]] and [[Narancia Ghirga|Narancia]] in the clouds who reassure him about the future. Giorno notices the Arrowhead on the ground.<br />
<br />
Back to the flashback, [[Guido Mista|Mista]] enthusiastically explains how he's deduced that meat from herbivores must be more delicious than the meat from carnivores, meaning that humans must actually taste bad. Bucciarati arrives and informs the team that "Leaky-Eye" [[Luca]] has died and that [[Polpo]] has ordered him to investigate the matter. Moreover, Fugo presents a florist to him. The florist explains to Bucciarati that one day, his daughter went to her boyfriend's apartment and then jumped from the roof of the building, clutching a round stone with her. The florist suspects the boyfriend [[Scolippi]], a sculptor by trade, and asks Bucciarati to avenge his daughter in exchange for his life savings.<br />
<br />
[[File:GW ep38 Mista & Rolling Stone.png|left|thumb|220x220px|Mista sees the cursed Rolling Stone]]<br />
Bruno refuses to simply commit a revenge hit but accepts to investigate the matter and deal justice. Bucciarati tasks Mista to go to the boyfriend. However, Mista suddenly sees a round stone in his seat as he stands up. Mista touches the stone, only to hear someone pleading to be killed. Although Mista is worried, everybody only sees an ordinary stone and urge him to hurry to the parking lot so that Fugo and Bucciarati can drop him off at Scolippi's address. Disturbingly, Mista keeps spotting round stones near him as the group drives to the boyfriend's appartment and mentions this to his team, although his suspicions only confuse them. Fugo and Bucciarati drop Mista off, but Bucciarati then decides to follow Mista to watch over him. Meanwhile, Mista has reached the elevator. Suddenly, he sees the stone inside the elevator and instinctively shoots it. However, the crumbling stone takes the shape of an injured Bucciarati and Scolippi can be seen hiding behind the door of the elevator. Mista thus realizes that a Stand is involved in this case.<br />

{{nihongo | '' 'Kiss' '' | キ ッ ス | Kissu}} es el [[Stand]] de [[Ermes Costello]], que aparece en '' [[Stone Ocean]] ''. Es un Stand humanoide de corto alcance que crea pegatinas. Cuando una pegatina se pega a un objeto, crea un duplicado. Cuando se quita una pegatina, los dos objetos se vuelven a fusionar, causando daños graves.<br />
<br />
== Apariencia ==<br />
<br />
Kiss es un Stand humanoide con una constitución atlética, similar a la de Ermes.<br />
<br />
Viste un mono oscuro junto con hombreras ligeras, rodilleras y guantes que comparten una textura metálica. A lo largo de la mitad de su torso hay una losa metálica tachonada vertical grabada con su nombre, "KISS", y las letras están contenidas en círculos separados.<br />
<br />
Su cabeza también tiene una textura metálica y es calva a excepción de un par de púas rectas que apuntan hacia arriba con bordes redondeados, lo que le da la apariencia de una corona. Tiene dos tachuelas a los lados de su cabeza que se asemejan a orejas.<br />
<br />
Kiss está cubierto de pegatinas con diseño de labios, especialmente en el cuello, los brazos y la cabeza. También hay pegatinas individuales colocadas entre cada letra en su torso.<br />
<br />
La mayoría de los medios que presentan a Kiss lo retratan como dorado con un traje morado.<br />

Kiss es un poderoso Stand de corto alcance que compensa su corto alcance con su velocidad y fuerza física, y sus pegatinas que Ermes usa inteligentemente, lo que lo convierte en una buena adición al equipo de Jolyne.<br />
<br />
Ermes recibe este Stand después de recoger el amuleto de [[Jolyne Cujoh | Jolyne]]. Después de que el fragmento de flecha dentro le pincha el dedo, Ermes vende el amuleto a [[Gwess]]. Ella descubre su posición después de ser atravesada por el [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], durante su primera visita médica en la prisión.<br />

{{nihongo | '' 'Kiss' '' | キ ッ ス | Kissu}} es el [[Stand]] de [[Ermes Costello]], que aparece en '' [[Stone Ocean]] ''. Es un Stand humanoide de corto alcance que crea pegatinas. Cuando una pegatina se pega a un objeto, crea un duplicado. Cuando se quita una pegatina, los dos objetos se vuelven a fusionar, causando daños graves.<br />
<br />
== Apariencia ==<br />
<br />
Kiss es un Stand humanoide con una constitución atlética, similar a la de Ermes.<br />
<br />

<br />
Su cabeza también tiene una textura metálica y es calva a excepción de un par de púas rectas que apuntan hacia arriba con bordes redondeados, lo que le da la apariencia de una corona. Tiene dos tachuelas a los lados de su cabeza que se asemejan a orejas.<br />
<br />
Kiss está cubierto de pegatinas con diseño de labios, especialmente en el cuello, los brazos y la cabeza. También hay pegatinas individuales colocadas entre cada letra en su torso.<br />

==Habilidades==<br />
<br />
Kiss es un poderoso Stand de corto alcance que compensa su corto alcance con su velocidad y fuerza física, y sus pegatinas que Ermes usa inteligentemente, lo que lo convierte en una buena adición al equipo de Jolyne.<br />
<br />
Ermes recibe este Stand después de recoger el amuleto de [[Jolyne Cujoh | Jolyne]]. Después de que el fragmento de flecha dentro le pincha el dedo, Ermes vende el amuleto a [[Gwess]]. Ella descubre su posición después de ser atravesada por el [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], durante su primera visita médica en la prisión.<br />

{{nihongo | '' 'Kiss' '' | キ ッ ス | Kissu}} es el [[Stand]] de [[Ermes Costello]], que aparece en '' [[Stone Ocean]] ''. Es un Stand humanoide de corto alcance que crea pegatinas. Cuando una pegatina se pega a un objeto, crea un duplicado. Cuando se quita una pegatina, los dos objetos se vuelven a fusionar, causando daños graves.<br />
<br />
== Apariencia ==<br />
<br />
Kiss es un Stand humanoide con una constitución atlética, similar a la de Ermes.<br />
<br />
Viste un mono oscuro junto con hombreras ligeras, rodilleras y guantes que comparten una textura metálica. A lo largo de la mitad de su torso hay una losa metálica tachonada vertical grabada con su nombre, "KISS", y las letras están contenidas en círculos separados.<br />
<br />
Su cabeza también tiene una textura metálica y es calva a excepción de un par de púas rectas que apuntan hacia arriba con bordes redondeados, lo que le da la apariencia de una corona. Tiene dos tachuelas a los lados de su cabeza que se asemejan a orejas.<br />
<br />
Kiss está cubierto de pegatinas con diseño de labios, especialmente en el cuello, los brazos y la cabeza. También hay pegatinas individuales colocadas entre cada letra en su torso.<br />
<br />
La mayoría de los medios que presentan a Kiss lo retratan como dorado con un traje morado.<br />

{{nihongo | '' 'Kiss' '' | キ ッ ス | Kissu}} es el [[Stand]] de [[Ermes Costello]], que aparece en '' [[Stone Ocean]] ''. Es un Stand humanoide de corto alcance que crea pegatinas. Cuando una pegatina se pega a un objeto, crea un duplicado. Cuando se quita una pegatina, los dos objetos se vuelven a fusionar, causando daños graves.<br />
<br />
== Apariencia ==<br />
<br />
Kiss es un Stand humanoide con una constitución atlética, similar a la de Ermes.<br />
<br />
Viste un mono oscuro junto con hombreras ligeras, rodilleras y guantes que comparten una textura metálica. A lo largo de la mitad de su torso hay una losa metálica tachonada vertical grabada con su nombre, "KISS", y las letras están contenidas en círculos separados.<br />
<br />
Su cabeza también tiene una textura metálica y es calva a excepción de un par de púas rectas que apuntan hacia arriba con bordes redondeados, lo que le da la apariencia de una corona. Tiene dos tachuelas a los lados de su cabeza que se asemejan a orejas.<br />
<br />
Kiss está cubierto de pegatinas con diseño de labios, especialmente en el cuello, los brazos y la cabeza. También hay pegatinas individuales colocadas entre cada letra en su torso.<br />
<br />
La mayoría de los medios que presentan a Kiss lo retratan como dorado con un traje morado.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Habilidades==<br />
<br />
Kiss es un poderoso Stand de corto alcance que compensa su corto alcance con su velocidad y fuerza física, y sus pegatinas que Ermes usa inteligentemente, lo que lo convierte en una buena adición al equipo de Jolyne.<br />
<br />
Ermes recibe este Stand después de recoger el amuleto de [[Jolyne Cujoh | Jolyne]]. Después de que el fragmento de flecha dentro le pincha el dedo, Ermes vende el amuleto a [[Gwess]]. Ella descubre su posición después de ser atravesada por el [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], durante su primera visita médica en la prisión.<br />
<br />
==== Duplicar pegatinas ====<br />
<br />
[[Archivo: KissDuplication.png | pulgar | derecha | 250px | El dedo índice de Ermes está duplicado por la pegatina de Kiss]]<br />
Kiss puede colocar calcomanías con diseños de labios en objetos, lo que hace que produzcan rápidamente una copia exacta del original. <Ref name = ": 0"> SO Capítulo 21, [[SO Chapter 21 | Ermes 'Stickers (1)] ] </ref><br />
<br />
Ermes y Kiss pueden crear pegatinas cuadradas distintivas con sus palmas. <ref> SO Capítulo 22, [[SO Capítulo 22 | Pegatinas de Ermes (2)]] </ref> Si ponen una pegatina en un objeto, una aparece una copia exacta de la misma con la etiqueta en la copia o en el original. <ref name = ": 0" /> <ref name = ": 1"> SO Capítulo 25, [[SO Chapter 25 | Etiqueta de Ermes (5 )]] </ref> No hay ninguna restricción sobre la distancia a la que se puede quitar la copia del objeto. Si Ermes coloca una pegatina en alguien, la extremidad correspondiente, ya sea un dedo, <ref name = ": 0" /> un brazo <ref> SO Chapter 31, [[SO Chapter 31 | Foo Fighters (1)]] < / ref> o la cabeza, <ref name = ": 1" /> brotará del cuerpo como una parte adicional del cuerpo. También es libre de usarlo ella misma. <Ref name = ": 0" /><br />
<br />
Cuando se quita o destruye la pegatina, <ref name = ": 1" /> los dos objetos saltan uno hacia el otro y se fusionan en un solo objeto con gran fuerza, causando una fisura y dañándolo de manera efectiva. <Ref name = ": 0 "/> No importa la distancia, las condiciones circundantes como la gravedad desplazada, <ref> SO Capítulo 147, [[SO Capítulo 147 | C-Moon (7)]] </ref> o el peso que se les atribuye, <ref> SO Capítulo 152, [[SO Capítulo 152 | Hecho en el cielo (4)]] </ref> los dos siempre se dirigirán uno hacia el otro, incluso las partes rotas de la copia volverán al original. <ref> SO Capítulo 56, [[SO Capítulo 56 | Beso de amor y venganza (7)]] </ref> Le permite a Ermes crear trampas, <ref name = ": 0" /> o dependiendo del objeto, moverse rápidamente de un lugar a otro. otro, o incluso dañar claramente a alguien desde lejos.<br />

{{Quote|I guess I don't have the heart to abandon a kid who likes dogs!|Iggy|{{Ch|Chapter 223}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Iggy'''|イギー|Igī}} is a main ally featured in the third part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]''.<br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
An urban mutt from the streets of New York, Iggy is introduced when the [[Joestar Group]] enters Egypt and begrudgingly aids the them on their final expedition to Cairo, Egypt to defeat [[Dio Brando|DIO]]. Iggy is a [[Stand]] User who wields [[The Fool]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance== <!--T:4--><br />
Iggy is a small, black and white dog whose original appearance is modeled after that of a {{W|Boston Terrier}}. His paws, stomach, chest, and neck are white, as are the area around his mouth and forehead. His eyes bulge slightly, and he has loose jowls.<br />
<br />
During and after his fight with [[Pet Shop]], Iggy shrinks significantly, and his face becomes more cartoonishly human, with a large forehead, a small mouth, and larger ears. His eyes also become much larger and more expressive.<br />

{{Palette|Eyes|#8CFDFA|desc=Cyan}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Personality== <!--T:6--><br />
Iggy is described as a particularly antisocial dog with a bad personality.<br />
<br />
<!--T:7--><br />
Iggy is a particularly unpleasant, unruly, and rude dog. For instance, he enjoys chewing on human hair and farting in human faces, antagonizing [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]] that way during his introductory arc.<ref name="C183">{{Ch|Chapter 183}}</ref> He also plays a dirty prank on [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] as "revenge" for Jotaro throwing him into [[N'Doul]]. Having a free-spirited and irreverent nature, Iggy is often seen wandering away from the group and causing varying degrees of mayhem, mainly through stealing food.<ref name="C190">{{Ch|Chapter 190}}</ref><ref name="C198">{{Ch|Chapter 198}}</ref><ref name="C222">{{Ch|Chapter 222}}</ref> He funnily and unwittingly saves the Joestar Group several times this way.<br />
<br />
<!--T:8--><br />
In the beginning, Iggy is understandably apathetic to the Joestar Group's goal of stopping DIO, having nothing to do with the [[Vampire]]. In fact, Iggy selfishly tries to protect himself at the detriment of his human companions against N'Doul, even at one point trying to sacrifice Jotaro for his safety.<ref name="C187">{{Ch|Chapter 187}}</ref> Only after his fight against Pet Shop does Iggy develop a grudge against DIO.<ref name="C227">{{Ch|Chapter 227}}</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:9--><br />
Iggy values his independence, and he has a high opinion of himself, thinking himself and his [[Stand]] are as strong as Jotaro and his [[Star Platinum]].<ref name="C224">{{Ch|Chapter 224}}</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
Iggy nonetheless has some standards, notably being willing to fight with Pet Shop to save a dog-lover child.<ref name="C223">{{Ch|Chapter 223}}</ref> He also selflessly sacrificed himself against [[Vanilla Ice]] to save Polnareff.<ref name="C244">{{Ch|Chapter 244}}</ref><br />
[[File:ABC Card 1.png|thumb|100px|The Fool]]<br />
<br />
<!--T:11--><br />
His favorite treat is coffee-flavored chewing gum.<br />
<br />
==Abilities== <!--T:12--><br />
===Stand===<br />
{{Main|The Fool}}<br />
The Fool is a highly versatile Stand composed of sand, the mass of which Iggy can throw with great force or use to construct intricate and variable shapes.<br />

<br />
===Keen sense of smell=== <!--T:14--><br />
Being a dog, Iggy has, of course, a great sense of smell. It allows him to detect people from far away like N'Doul<ref name="C183"/> and even Stands from their smell such as [[Geb]].<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 185}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History== <!--T:15--><br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:Iggy NYC.png|thumb|Iggy, king of New York's stray dogs]]<br />
A pure breed with a certificate, Iggy was originally bought by a rich man when he was a puppy. As he grew older, he began to believe humans as stupid and decided to leave home. He was eventually found by [[Muhammad Avdol]] in the street slums of New York acting as the king of the stray dogs.<ref name="C224"/> Only Avdol was able to come close to him, as ordinary dog catchers were attacked by his Stand.<br />
<br />
===[[Stardust Crusaders]]=== <!--T:16--><br />
====[["The Fool" Iggy and "Geb" N'Doul (story arc)|"The Fool" Iggy and "Geb" N'Doul]]====<br />
[[File:Iggy and Polnareff meeting.png|thumb|left|Iggy meeting [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]]]]<br />
Iggy came to the scene aboard a [[Speedwagon Foundation|Speedwagon]]-sponsored helicopter in the middle of the desert, brought by the Speedwagon Foundation to help in the battle against DIO. Polnareff, being cocky and intrigued about their new partner, becomes the target of the ferocity that Iggy is infamous for, after disturbing his slumber. The pilots and Avdol were only able to control him because of one unlikely treat: coffee-flavored chewing gum.<br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
Because of how he attacked Polnareff, everyone, especially Jotaro, had doubts about the suitability of Iggy's companionship. Iggy also didn't want to take part in a battle that had nothing to do with him. Their questioning grew deeper when they were attacked by N'Doul in the middle of the desert. Iggy ran from the battle, showing his cowardice and lack of intention to help. They misinterpreted Iggy's pursuit of N'Doul's trail for cowardice.<br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
Jotaro grasps Iggy in his hand, forcing Iggy to cooperate before N'Doul's Geb attacked them both. Left with no choice, Iggy took Jotaro to the enemy, but in the middle of their pursuit, Iggy decided to leave Jotaro behind to be killed alone. Jotaro then threw Iggy at N'Doul, distracting the enemy enough and leading him to his eventual defeat. Jotaro ends up forgiving Iggy, saying he, too, wouldn't like to be dragged in a war he had nothing to do with himself. Iggy decided to accompany the group and earn their trust, even though Polnareff still believed he would run away in the end.<br />
<br />
====''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Genesis of Universe#Chapter 1: One-Way Trip from Desert to Hell|The Genesis of Universe, Chapter 1]]''==== <!--T:19--><br />
''<small>(The italicized information below derives from a Light Novel not written by [[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]]. As such, it may or may not be considered {{W|canon (fiction)|canon}}.)</small>''<br />Featuring in ''Chapter 1: One-Way Trip from Desert to Hell'', Iggy plays an important part in the battle against [[Absalom]] and [[Michal]], tricking both with his Stand. He temporarily blinds the enemies by covering [[Satanic Coupler]]'s window pane with The Fool's sand. Later he fools Absalom with a sand clone of Jotaro, allowing the real Jotaro to rescue the rest of the group.<br />
<br />
====Going Up the Nile==== <!--T:20--><br />
Iggy doesn't do much during their journey but unintentionally helps the group. He saved them from drinking [[Oingo]]'s poisoned tea and makes his plan to blow up Jotaro with an orange-shaped bomb backfire, as he picks up the bomb and brings it to Oingo ([[Khnum|disguised]] as Jotaro). When Oingo tries to leave the scene, Polnareff threw the bomb after him because Iggy put his mouth on it.<br />
<br />
<!--T:21--><br />
In Edfu, Iggy accidentally saves Jotaro from [[Anubis]]' last assassination attempt. When Anubis possesses a young boy, Iggy makes the boy trip as he grabs the boy's candy, making Anubis fall into the Nile.<br />
<br />
<!--T:22--><br />
In Cairo, Iggy also defeats [[Boingo]] without even knowing he was an enemy Stand user. After [[Hol Horse]] was hospitalized by another backfired plan, Boingo kicks a crate and accidentally hits Iggy, which makes the dog furious enough to attack Boingo.<br />

[[File:Iggy and Pet Shop.png|left|thumb|227x227px|Iggy is confronted by [[Pet Shop]]]]<br />
While the [[Joestar Group]] looks for [[DIO's Mansion]], Iggy wanders in the streets of Cairo and fatefully comes across the building itself. When two dogs come snarling, Iggy intimidates them and the dogs decide to go for a weaker prey. Spotting the shadow of a bird from under a door, the dogs crawl inside the property, only for Iggy to see their heads flying, impaled on an ice spike while their bodies are forcibly dragged inside. A falcon then appears, watching Iggy suspiciously. However, the falcon then spots the beggar and creates an icicle large enough to crush the beggar. As the falcon flies around, Iggy realizes it is a [[Stand]] User protecting the mansion and that it may come for him next. Indeed, the falcon [[Pet Shop]] is the wielder of the [[Stand]] [[Horus]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:24--><br />
Pet Shop sets his attention again on Iggy, who tries to play dumb as he doesn't want to get involved in the disputes of humans he doesn't care about. However, a [[Dog-Loving Boy|young boy]] comes looking for [[Chibi and Buchi|his dogs]]. Seeing his dogs' collars, the boy tries to crawl under the gate of the mansion too and gets attacked by Pet Shop too. However, Iggy comes to the rescue, not having the heart to let a dog-loving kid be killed. After helping the kid escape, Iggy confronts Pet Shop but is taken by surprise when Pet Shop freezes the ground and shoots icicles at him. Iggy is forced to flee but the eagle-eyed falcon easily spots him and pursues him down to a sewer. However, when Pet Shop shoots Iggy, it turns out Iggy was a clone made of sand. Iggy comes out of the shadows and has [[The Fool]] claw at the bird. Satisfied, Iggy calls it a draw, but the injured, Pet Shop decides to deploy the full strength of his Horus, turning the whole sewer into an icy world. In the humid environment, Iggy finds himself at a huge disadvantage. When Iggy's paw is frozen in place, the <br />
dog must bite off a paw to escape into the Nile. <br />
<br />
<!--T:25--><br />
[[File:Pet_Shop_death.png|thumb|Iggy defeats Pet Shop]]<br />
At the bottom of the Nile, Iggy takes refuge under a protective dome of sand. However, Pet Shop can swim. He finds the dome and threatens to shoot the dog with icicles. The Fool manages to deflect an icicle toward Pet Shop, but the bird then tries to crush the dome beneath a mass of ice. The dog digs to escape but he then stumbles another tunnel where Pet Shop await, charging an icicle to kill him at close range. In a desperate act, Iggy lets the dome behind him collapse and makes the surge of pressure push him forward. That way, he clamps Pet Shop's beak shut and the icicle makes Pet Shop's bird explode. Exhausted from a lack of blood and coming close to drowning, Iggy reminisces his life as the king of the stray dogs in New York. Thankfully, he is ultimately rescued by the boy he protected earlier.<br />
<br />
<!--T:26--><br />
Iggy is subsequently found by a fully recovered [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]], who reunites with the group after having a [[Speedwagon Foundation]] doctor treat Iggy's injuries. After a short but cheerful reunion, Iggy decides to lead them to [[DIO's Mansion]], where [[Telence T. D'Arby]] welcomes them and abducts [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]], [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] and [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]].<br />

[[File:Vanilla punches Iggy.png|thumb|left|Iggy is punched by [[Vanilla Ice]]]]<br />
After waiting for ten minutes, [[Muhammad Avdol|Avdol]], [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]] and Iggy decide to enter the mansion. Iggy and Avdol team up in the illusory maze created by [[Tenore Sax]] inside the mansion to track down and rapidly defeat [[Kenny G.]] However, the group is ambushed by [[Vanilla Ice]], one of DIO's last servants. Avdol shoves his companions aside but is killed.<br />
<br />
<!--T:28--><br />
[[File:Iggy%27s_death.png||thumb|Iggy's death]]<br />
[[Vanilla Ice]] has disintegrated [[Muhammad Avdol|Avdol]], forcing him into [[Cream]]'s mouth, and is now targeting [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]] and Iggy. Cream becomes an invincible and invisible ball of destruction that's flying after them and they must flee. Iggy and Polnareff arrive at the art gallery but see the gaping hole on the floor, meaning Vanilla Ice is there. Although they cover each other's back, Polnareff is ambushed from below and Vanilla Ice takes his left foot. Iggy and Polnareff then devise a plan to trick Vanilla Ice. Iggy and Polnareff hide in the stairs and Iggy creates a "DIO" made of sand to fool Vanilla Ice. Unfortunately, Vanilla Ice sees through the trick as the real DIO wouldn't have come to a place where the sun's rays are still visible. Vanilla Ice singles out Iggy and proceeds to violently beat him up for making him strike at DIO's image. Polnareff continues the fight and manages to inflict a mortal wound, but it seems that Vanilla Ice refuses to die. Polnareff then brings Iggy close to him. Cream begins to make circles around Polnareff, aiming to eventually reach and disintegrate him. Polnareff puts Iggy in a safe spot but fails to escape. A dying Iggy summons [[The Fool]] to help Polnareff but the Frenchman tells him to stay safe instead. The Polnareff salutes the dog as Cream approaches, but Iggy spends the last of his strength to lift Polnareff with The Fool, allowing Polnareff to ambush Vanilla Ice. Iggy dies but Polnareff is able to expose Vanilla Ice to the sunlight and kill him, because he had become a [[Vampire]]. <br />
<br />
<!--T:29--><br />
The ghosts of Avdol and Iggy briefly appear, silently telling Polnareff to carry on before they ascend to Heaven.<br />
<br />
==Major Battles== <!--T:30--><br />
<br />
<!--T:31--><br />
*Iggy and [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] vs [[N'Doul]]<br />
*Iggy vs [[Pet Shop]]<br />
*Iggy, [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]], and [[Muhammad Avdol|Avdol]] vs [[Vanilla Ice]]<br />
<br />
==Relationships== <!--T:32--><br />
<br />
===Allies=== <!--T:33--><br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Jotaro sees value in Iggy during the fight with N'Doul with his keen senses and powerful Stand. Iggy gives back Jotaro's lost hat, shortly earning his trust until Jotaro realized that Iggy put coffee gum inside it. Iggy, although not vocal about it, is a ''very'' prideful stand user, even believing that The Fool is stronger than Star Platinum. After the battle with DIO, Jotaro and Joseph acknowledge his death, alongside the other fallen crusaders.<br />
<br />
<!--T:34--><br />
*[[Joseph Joestar]]: When first introduced, Iggy acted much like a stray and initially hated everyone in the group. After the fight with N'Doul, he would willingly tag along with them, but during fights, he'd usually disappear. It wasn't until his fight with Pet Shop where his inner thoughts came to light; at this point, he seemed to understand Joseph was the leader of the group. While the interaction between the two was fairly minor, after sacrificing himself for Polnareff to defeat Vanilla Ice, Joseph and the group acknowledged his heroism and mourned his death along with the others.<br />
<br />
<!--T:35--><br />
*[[Jean Pierre Polnareff]]: The two initially did not get along since Polnareff woke him up after a bumpy flight. Polnareff disliked Iggy's cocky and demeaning attitude and antagonized him frequently, causing Polnareff to be Iggy's most common target when it came to getting bitten and farted on. Despite this, during their fight against [[Cream]], Iggy sacrificed himself to save Polnareff. Polnareff deeply mourned his sacrifice, admitting he initially thought Iggy was a stubborn shitty mutt but grew to love how stubborn he was and how he didn't get close to humans because it showed how proud he was, and it was this determination that allowed him to beat Cream.<br />
<br />
<!--T:36--><br />
*[[Muhammad Avdol]]: Avdol first encountered Iggy when he was causing trouble in New York and captured him. Avdol would later recruit Iggy into the Joestar Group and used coffee gum to calm him down. After Avdol sacrificed himself in the battle against Vanilla Ice, Iggy became determined to avenge him. In the end, Iggy failed to avenge Avdol but inspired Polnareff to do so instead.<br />
<br />
===Enemies=== <!--T:37--><br />
*[[Pet Shop]]: Upon encountering Pet Shop, Iggy saw him devour 2 dogs and attempted to avoid fighting him, but after Pet Shop attacked a dog-loving boy, Iggy went to defend him. During their fight, Iggy lost his left paw and Iggy would take revenge by forcing Pet Shop's beak closed while he was attacking and blew him up. It was Pet Shop's actions that made Iggy want to kill DIO in the first place.<br />
<br />
<!--T:38--><br />
*[[Vanilla Ice]]: Originally Iggy just saw Ice as an obstacle in his vengeance towards DIO, after Ice killed Avdol, Iggy became determined to kill him. In the end, Iggy failed to kill him but inspired Polnareff to do so instead.<br />
<br />
<!--T:39--><br />
*[[Dio Brando|DIO]]: Iggy was dragged against his will into joining the Joestar Group in Egypt, and as such didn't care about DIO or what was happening, being more concerned about himself. After his fight with Pet Shop though, he decided to help the group defeat DIO, as it was because of him that Iggy was brought to Egypt and put through so much trouble in the first place. In the end, DIO and Iggy never personally encounter one another, as Iggy dies protecting Polnareff during his fight with Vanilla Ice.<br />
<br />
== Relationships in Eyes of Heaven== <!--T:40--><br />
<sup>(The information below derives from a Video Game not written by Araki. As such, it may not be considered canon.)</sup><br />
<br />
<!--T:41--><br />
*[[Joseph Joestar]]: While their relationship is essentially the same as in the manga, Young Joseph will complain about having to team up with Iggy and state that he has evil eyes, but later states he is not bad for a mutt. Iggy will also complain about teaming up with Young Joseph and notes that his scent is similar to the Joseph he knows and wonders why.<br />
<br />
<!--T:42--><br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: When encountering Jotaro from ''Diamond is Unbreakable'', Iggy will not recognize him at first and is surprised he knows his favorite snack. When he does recognize Jotaro, Iggy attempts to put another piece of gum in his hat and wonders why he has gotten older.<br />
<br />
<!--T:43--><br />
*[[Noriaki Kakyoin]]: Iggy is very disobedient towards Kakyoin and wants to put gum in his hair.<br />
<br />
<!--T:44--><br />
*[[Dio Brando|DIO]]: Upon encountering DIO, Iggy immediately hates him. Upon defeating him, he will announce he is the true emperor.<br />

==Video Games== <!--T:47--><br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (SFC Game)|''JoJo'' RPG (SFC)]]===<br />
Iggy appears as one of the 6 main characters the player can use. Instead of having him shipped by helicopter to the group, the cast finds him about an Egyptian temple, ultimately fighting him before assimilating him into the group. Most of Iggy's attacks make use of his Stand, The Fool. The main difference from the original series is that Iggy survives the battle against Vanilla Ice and fights along with the others against DIO.<br />
<br />
===[[Cult Jump|Cult Jump (GB Game)]]=== <!--T:48--><br />
Iggy appears as one of the ten characters from the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' franchise who appear in the game.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)]]=== <!--T:49--><br />
[[File:Dwfmm9.gif|thumb|right]]<br />
Iggy appears as one of the most unusual playable characters in the roster. Without his Stand active, many attacks are ineffective against him due to his small hitbox. However, this is almost never a surefire defense mechanism and players are usually forced to take to the offensive using charge attacks.<br />
<br />
<!--T:50--><br />
Most of Iggy's attacks consist of him jumping, barking and biting when without the Stand. When holding down and pressing the strong punch, Iggy will make a replica of Shadow Dio that attacks the opponent with a punch. When The Fool is activated, Iggy's attacks change to strong versions of punches and dash attacks done by The Fool. His Sand Magic attack and floating ability are also useful for getting Iggy out of tight spots (similar to what he did to escape N'Doul's Geb).<br />
<br />
<!--T:51--><br />
His first special move creates a giant wave of sand sent towards the opponent's direction, while his second special move makes Iggy jump into the opponent's face; at this point, the screen turns black with several hit effects appearing, when it returns to normal, the enemy appears to be laying down<br />
<br />
<!--T:52--><br />
While Iggy dies in the original storyline, his Story Mode allows him to change his fate by defeating Vanilla Ice and eventually face off with DIO. During his ending, Iggy returns to New York and becomes the "King of the Dogs". He also saves another character from their canon fate of death—Kakyoin, at the price of Avdol's life. The inverse happens with Avdol's Story Mode, where Iggy takes one for the team against Vanilla Ice but saves Kakyoin from his canon death as well.<br />
<br />
===[[Jump Ultimate Stars|Jump Ultimate Stars (DS)]]=== <!--T:53--><br />
Iggy appears as Jotaro's 3-block support koma. Jotaro throws him as a projectile. When Iggy gets near an opponent he will activate The Fool to protect himself (similar to how he did against N'Doul). If he touches an enemy, he immobilizes them while The Fool causes the "Battle Seal" status effect.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|All Star Battle (PS3)]]=== <!--T:54--><br />
[[File:Iggy_ASB.png|thumb|175px|right]]<br />
Iggy makes an appearance in ''All Star Battle'', as a playable DLC Character, as part of the second campaign, along with Old Joseph Joestar. He is voiced by {{W|Shigeru Chiba}}, though this is considered to be his "inner voice" as his opponents cannot hear him speak. Iggy's alternate costume mirrors his original appearance as a more realistic Boston Terrier before his style change.<br />
<br />
<!--T:55--><br />
Many of his attacks and play style are based off or similar to the ones in ''Heritage for the Future''. As one of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "''Stand''" Style, Iggy can turn The Fool on/off, changing movesets, as well as having access to the '''Stand Rush''' ability returning from the Capcom game, being able to attack in conjunction with his Stand. Iggy has 700 HP.<br />

In his alternate costume, his GHA changes; Instead of biting the opponent's nose, he will clamp onto their head and fart on their face before kicking off (reenacting his initial encounter with Polnareff).<br />

===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Shooters|Stardust Shooters (Android/iOS)]]=== <!--T:63--><br />
Iggy appears as one of the several ''Part 3'' characters who possess a Metal Striker. His FINISH move has his Stand, The Fool, appear and mow the defeated opponent down.<br />
<br />
<!--T:64--><br />
Similar to ''All Star Battle'' (PS3), both of Iggy's appearances possess a Metal Striker, one for his "more realistic dog appearance" and another for his "style change".<br />

Iggy returns as a playable character, but he's now a default character instead of being a DLC. He was confirmed for the game alongside Dio Brando (Part 1), N'Doul and Old Joseph.<br />
<br />
<!--T:66--><br />
As a Stand User, Iggy is one of many characters with wildly varied abilities that grant him uniqueness in battle.<br />
<br />
<!--T:67--><br />
*'''Style Action - The Shape-Shifting Fool of Sand''': The Fool turns into Iggy while wrapping itself around him to appear natural. While this is in effect, Iggy's stamina gauge will constantly drain, canceling the ability if it empties or if Style Action is used again. If the opponent's non-DHA attack hits Iggy while the skill is in effect, The Fool bursts into sand to stun opponents while Iggy leaps from the top of the Stand, ready to attack. This skill can only be used when Iggy's stamina gauge is full.<br />
*'''He can float in the air, too?''': While in mid-air, The Fool sprouts wings made of sand, slowly carrying Iggy through the air and acting as a sort of hang glider. Iggy has a slow descent and his movement speed is reduced, but upon the skill's activation, is given a small height boost.<br />
*'''Foul Beast''': Iggy leaps at an opponent's head. If he connects, he'll chew on their hair and fart in their face before jumping off, leaving them falling to the ground. This skill will drain the target's stamina as well.<br />
*'''The Fool''': The Fool flies at opponents, knocking them into the air if it hits. If not locked on, The Fool will simply aim at the nearest opponent. The Fool can also change its trajectory if an opponent is at a different height than Iggy when the skill is executed.<br />
*'''DIO Doppelganger''': Iggy generates a sand clone of Shadow DIO to run towards and attack opponents with two strikes, leaving them crumbling on the second hit. If not locked on, the clone will simply aim at the nearest opponent. The clone will disperse early if hit by the opponent or if it runs into an obstacle or wall in its path, but it is also capable of nullifying projectiles.<br />
*'''I-I'll just hide here...''': Iggy uses The Fool to instantly block attacks by turning it into a hard dome made of sand (similar to how he hid underwater from Pet Shop). While active, Iggy's health will slowly regenerate and his guard will not take damage from incoming attacks, but his stamina will drain. The skill will last as long as the initiating button is held, or until the stamina gauge empties. When the skill ends, Iggy may cancel the recovery with another attack or skill.<br />
*'''EX - I-I'll just hide here...''': The skill executes quicker and Iggy's health regenerates faster.<br />
*'''EX - DIO Doppelganger''': The skill executes quicker and the sand clone's movement speed and the damage have been increased.<br />

*'''Pfft...''': Iggy must connect "Foul Beast". (200 Points)<br />
*'''Too easy!''': Iggy must connect his Style Action twice. (200 Points)<br />
*'''I don't need this crap. Have a nice life.''': Iggy must survive the first 15 counts of the battle timer without taking damage. (300 Points)<br />
*'''Grr... I can't let a dog-lover just get killed!''': Iggy must successfully execute 5 Combo Breakers. (500 Points)<br />
*'''I've gotta get them before they get me!''': Iggy must Retire an enemy with a Dual Heat Attack. (800 Points)<br />
<br />

<br />
<!--T:71--><br />
*'''Solo - Serves you right!''': It works the same as the one from ''All Star Battle''.<br />
*'''With Polnareff -''' '''Mad Dance of Sand and Swords''': Polnareff calls for Iggy's assistance only to turn around and see him taking a nap; Angry, Polnareff furiously attacks the opponent with Silver Chariot and jumps into the air, before Iggy ultimately joins him as the two deliver a finishing blow with their Stands diving through.<br />
<br />

In the game's epilogue, Iggy is shown to have survived his battle with Vanilla Ice and is recovering in the hospital with Avdol and Kakyoin. While the new timeline alters the deaths of several allies, it doesn't alter Iggy losing his paw during his fight with Pet Shop.<br />

==Trivia== <!--T:76--><br />
<br />
<!--T:77--><br />
*Araki created Iggy after wanting to add a pet to the Joestar Group at the time. He chose Iggy's breed based on the fact that Boston Terriers are black and white and easier to depict in manga.<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: STANDS - Comments by Hirohiko Araki<sup>[http://pastebin.com/Eh5C3ENT]</sup>''</ref><br />
*In the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future]] game, when Alessi uses Sethan on Iggy, he reverts into his initial appearance.<br />
**Iggy's second special seems to be a reference to {{W|Akuma (Street Fighter)|Akuma}}'s famous ''Shun Goku Satsu (Raging Demon)'' from the {{W|Street Fighter|''Street Fighter''}} franchise, also developed by Capcom. Aside from the similar animation, the game's data contains an unused sprite of the kanji for dog (犬, "inu"), parodying the kanji for heaven (天, "ten") that appears during Akuma's Shungokustatsu.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Jojo's_Bizarre_Adventure#The_Iggy.2FAkuma_Raging_Demon_Sprite The Cutting Room Floor - The Iggy/Akuma Raging Demon Sprite]</ref><br />
