When he first arrives at the [[Joestar Mansion]] as a young child, Dio wears a 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 three moles on the lobe of his left ear. When boxing, he wears a shirt with folded sleeves, overalls, and boxing gloves.

At the start of Part 3, DIO
Due to his nature as a vampire, DIO is often stated to be a very attractive being, described by [[Muhammad Avdol|Avdol]] as exuding a bewitching sensuality, speaking with a deeply soothing voice and possessing a piercing gaze.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 120}} P.8-9.</ref> Many of his subordinates describe him as handsome,<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 204}} P.7.</ref> beautiful<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 188}} P.11.</ref> or awe inspiring in some fashion. Attacking his visage even severely enrages [[Vanilla Ice]], one of his most loyal underlings.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 242}} P.9.</ref> Supernatural charisma helped DIO build his army and despite the fear that his mere presence instills, many of the people who encounter him feel a bizarre sense of calm from it.
After draining [[Joseph Joestar]]'s blood, DIO's appearance changes again, but remains 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 disheveled and mostly oriented upwards, while his lips are darker and seem adorned with lipstick. This is his main form during the final part of the {{SA|SDC28}} story arc, often
DIO's postmortem appearances in later parts are primarily based on his initial revealed design. In ''Stone Ocean'', DIO lacks his jacket during flashbacks to his conversations with [[Enrico Pucci]]; on one occasion, he wears a cut-out tank top with black armbands, studded black wristbands, and a jeweled ring on his left hand.

==Personality==
{{Quote|Isolation makes a man hollow! I'll turn him into a powerless fool!|Dio Brando|{{Ch|Chapter 2}}}}
Dio is consistently manipulative and violently domineering, and has repeatedly shown a lack of conscience and empathy. He is described by [[Hirohiko Araki]] as essentially being a parasite, concealing his true nature to infiltrate the [[Joestar Family|Joestar family]], and taking everything he can while plotting a takeover.<ref name="chamt" />
[[File:Dio 8s happy.png|thumb|240x240px|DIO is ecstatic when he sees his power growing further]]
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 sets for himself the goal of becoming the richest, then the most powerful being on Earth. To do so, Dio uses anything or anyone that he can 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 seeks to become more and more powerful. Dio enjoys being in a position of power<ref name="Chapter2">{{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 considers anyone to be able to stand up to him or equal him in power and becomes enraged and deeply disturbed at the thought.
Line 404 ⟶ 406:
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 acts as the model son and popular charismatic friend to Jonathan's father and entourage to better isolate him, and as a vampire, his charisma only increases as he appears as a charming mysterious individual. However, his natural arrogance leads him to openly insult and belittle his enemies, notably disparaging their insignificant strength before his vampiric or Stand powers. He is the type who is comfortable being with a man or woman, but will do anything to get what he wants and would "absolutely never pour 100% of his love into a specific person."<ref name="eureka" />
Dio approaches obstacles and problems in several ways, depending on the situation and his mood. Before his vampiric transformation, Dio is careful and methodical in trying to break Jonathan's spirit, and slowly poisons George for a sizeable time, only being thwarted due to unlucky twists of fate. As a vampire, Dio at first lets his arrogance get the better of him and takes a laissez-faire approach, only sending subordinates to kill Jonathan's party while he rests and recovers. However, his defeat by Jonathan teaches him to be wary of the

[[File:Dio&enrico.png|thumb|230x230px|DIO with Enrico Pucci]]
In flashbacks to events before his death, DIO demonstrates a burgeoning ability to form genuine relationships in numerous conversations with [[Enrico Pucci]]. Intrigued by Pucci, who lets him be despite him suspiciously hiding in a church, DIO heals his crooked foot and gives him the head of an [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], which would later awaken his own Stand, [[Whitesnake]]. During these flashbacks, DIO can open up with him on multiple subjects, confiding to Pucci that the priest's company could bring him peace. He even dares Pucci to steal his Stand, and upon the latter's refusal, admits that he fears the thought of Pucci betraying him.
It is debatable how good a friend DIO truly is, considering Pucci's good-willed nature during his youth gives way to a willingness to adopt DIO's skewed morals. DIO's friendship with Pucci also serves him by furthering his ambitions of achieving "heaven," as described in [[DIO's
===OVER HEAVEN===
{{Non-Canon|oh}}
''[[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 as the real-life interpretation of his
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 devises a plan to use Stand power and human souls to bring about his idea of heaven.

If anyone besides the victim attempts to remove the bud, it sprouts tentacles in an attempt to invade the intruder's brain as well.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 120}} Pages 12-16</ref> The spore's tentacles can also be activated directly to kill its host by any organism capable of manipulating life at a cellular level. The spores come with an additional side effect if DIO himself ever dies: according to [[Keicho Nijimura]], DIO's cells mutate his [[Mansaku Nijimura|father]] into an unkillable animalistic form upon DIO's death.

Line 679 ⟶ 681:
*'''Charisma:''' Dio is a cunning and charming individual. In addition to Stand users, whom Avdol and Joseph suggest he recruits through charisma, he seduces many women throughout his life.
*'''Knowledge:''' Throughout both his humble youth and tempestuous maturity, Dio is often seen reading. During his pre-teen years, 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
===Weaknesses===
Line 690 ⟶ 692:
*[[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.
*[[Dio's Mother]]: Though most of his contempt was reserved for his father, he resented his mother as well for devoting herself to such a horrible man.<ref name="chamt" />{{CharSheet}} However, Dio still showed signs that he cared about her and was upset about her untimely death, as he was brought to tears when his father ordered him to sell her dress for alcohol money.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 7}} P.2.</ref> Even as an adult, he responds with rage and attacks a vagrant for mocking his mother.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 9}} P.14.</ref>
*[[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
*[[Ungalo]], [[Donatello Versus]], and [[Rikiel]]: Similarly 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.
Line 703 ⟶ 705:
*[[Nukesaku]]: DIO has no respect for Nukesaku despite his loyalty, viewing him as disposable in his battle with the Joestar Group. When Nukesaku attempts to open DIO's coffin, assuming that he will save him, DIO instead uses The World to dismember Nukesaku before placing him in the coffin to intimidate the group.
*[[Johngalli A.]]: While there is no on-screen interaction between them, Johngalli is highly loyal to DIO, as shown when he frames Jolyne for murder and attempts to kill her and Jotaro to avenge his master.
*[[Enrico Pucci]]: DIO's encounter with Pucci is presumably the most prominent example of humanity displayed by him, with him healing Pucci's foot when they first meet. During the time he spends with Pucci, DIO comes to trust him enough to allow Pucci into his plan to obtain heaven, and later inherit it after his own death. At one point, DIO forces Pucci's hand into his head and has him nearly remove his Stand DISC to test
===Enemies===
Line 725 ⟶ 727:
{{Non-Canon|oh|skip=oh2}}
*[[Dario Brando]]: While their relationship is about as negative as it is in the manga, it is revealed that DIO 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. In fact, one of the reasons he seeks to enter heaven is to kill his father again, though he comes to see it as a mere side opportunity.
*[[Dio's Mother]]: In the novel, it is revealed that DIO's 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
*Unborn Sibling: It is revealed that Dio's mother was pregnant with an unborn sibling, but ended up miscarrying them.
*[[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 coffin on the boat where Jonathan died in order to escape the boat's explosion, in the hope that DIO might return some day as a better man with Jonathan's body. The idea reminds him of his own mother.
Line 734 ⟶ 736:
===Relationships in ''Eyes of Heaven''===
{{Non-Canon|eoh|skip=eoh}}
*[[Will Anthonio Zeppeli|Will Zeppeli]]: While their relationship is essentially the same as in the manga, when Zeppeli encounters DIO from ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', he states that Dio seems even eviler and wonders if the Stone Mask is responsible, while DIO believes Zeppeli is even less of a threat than before since he acquired The World.
*[[Kars]], [[Esidisi]] and [[Wamuu]]: Dio recognizes each of them as Pillar Men and seeks to kill them. Kars says he isn't half bad for a vampire and would make a fine pawn, Esidisi sees him as a lowly vampire fit for nothing more than food, and Wamuu views himself as Dio's master while being intrigued by his Vaporizing Freeze, an ability which he had never seen before.
*[[Mariah]]: DIO shows absolute faith in Mariah's abilities.

Line 1,224 ⟶ 1,238:
Dio was created as an extension of [[B.T.]], the protagonist in ''[[Cool Shock B.T.]]'', though Dio is much more evil.<ref name="JoJomenon">{{INT|JoJo Could Have Ended with Part 4 (October 2012)}}</ref> When writing Dio, Araki was inspired by wondering about the motivations of serial killers and also because FBI psychological profiling was a popular topic during that time.<ref name="jjnv3"/>
[[Hirohiko Araki]] personally wanted to draw Dio the most and developed his character design first, with Jonathan created as the character that would counter him.
Dio's name was chosen to contrast with "JoJo", going for letters that didn't make a rounded sound and using many voiced consonants. The name carries the nuance of "god" from Italian, but also felt familiar to Araki because of {{W|Ronnie James Dio}}.<ref name="chamt" /> In ''Phantom Blood'', Dio's name is written normally in Japanese. From ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'' onward (and occasionally in ''Phantom Blood''<ref name="Ch|Chapter 42"/><ref>{{Ch|Chapter 17}}</ref>), he abandons his last name and his first name is spelled in English as {{Nihongo|"DIO"|{{Ruby|DIO|ディオ}}}}. This was likely done to accentuate his metamorphosis into a vampire, as well as his more intimidating, fear-mongering, and overall villainous personality.
While ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' was being serialized, Araki hadn't actually prepared a weakness for Dio and had difficulty coming up with a way for him to be defeated.<ref name="jjnv3" />
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.<ref name="JoJomenon" /> When DIO returned in ''Stardust Crusaders'', Araki was eager to finally be able to draw him again. However, his editor, [[Ryosuke Kabashima]], advised against it. He warned Araki that if he were to reveal DIO too soon, then readers would solely focus on the final boss, rather than the enemies in front of them. Consequently, Araki chose to have DIO's face remain in shadow until the [[Joestar Group]] reached Egypt, where the final showdown takes place.<ref>''[[Hirohiko Araki's New Manga Techniques]]'' - "About the Enemies of JoJo Throughout History"</ref> Araki stated that if he were to depict DIO in the modern era, he would likely delve deeper into what made him so evil, including more of his upbringing and family relationships.<ref>''[[Hirohiko Araki's New Manga Techniques]]'' - "On the Timeless Nature of Villains"</ref>

==Trivia==
Line 1,269 ⟶ 1,258:
*In ''[[Eyes of Heaven]]'', Dio Brando and [[Diego Brando]]'s themes are remixes of each other. This is also the case for DIO and [[Parallel World Diego]].
*DIO's outfit design in ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'' appears to be taking inspiration from an outfit singer {{W|David Bowie}} wore during the {{W|Glass Spider Tour}} in 1987 that includes a golden bolero jacket, a shiny black top, golden chaps, a colorful belt with straps and golden cowboy boots. The way DIO appears to Polnareff on top of the stairs in [[Chapter 247]] is also very reminiscent of the scenography of Bowie's first appearance in that specific costume during the concert.
