{{Q|{{Nihongo2|That's the Stand you used to bring me here? Pretty wild.|そのスタンドでオレをここに連れて来たわけか。 面白い……|Sono Sutando de ore o koko ni tsurete kita wake ka. Omoshiroi...}}|Parallel World Diego}}
Parallel World Diego (並行世界から来たディエゴ, Heikō Sekai kara Kita Diego), along with THE WORLD, was confirmed for All-Star Battle R as the fourth paid DLC character on May 31, 2023.[1] He is slated for release on June 16, 2023, or June 14 for season pass owners.[2] Like the first three paid DLC characters, he is included in the game's first season pass, and consequently the Digital Deluxe Edition and Ultimate Edition as well.[1]
As in Eyes of Heaven, Parallel Diego's name is localized as "Alternate World Diego" in the English localization of All-Star Battle R. Furthermore, THE WORLD's name is fully capitalized, differentiating it from DIO's version of The World.
His moveset is similar to that of his Eyes of Heaven appearance, with modifications made and new aspects added to better fit in with All-Star Battle R's different gameplay style.
As the voice actor for Parallel World Diego, among other iterations of Dio Brando, since Eyes of Heaven, Takehito Koyasu reprises his role in All-Star Battle R as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Parallel World Diego were either added or re-recorded.
Parallel World Diego has 920 health and uses the both the Mounted (騎乗, Kijō) and Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Styles, fighting foes with Silver Bullet and THE WORLD. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Steel Ball Run. Unlike most other characters that use the Stand Battle Style, Parallel World Diego cannot manually summon and dismiss his Stand; instead, the Stand remains active as long as the user is dismounted, and appears instantaneously for any attacks that utilize it while the user is mounted.
Three parts of the Holy Corpse will slowly appear scattered across the stage when Parallel World Diego is a combatant. He can pick up these pieces to receive blessings that boost his performance in combat. If Parallel World Diego is pitted against Johnny Joestar, Gyro Zeppeli, Diego Brando, Funny Valentine, or another Parallel World Diego, both players will have to fight over the three Corpse Parts, as only one set will appear.
THE WORLD quickly moves in front of Parallel Diego and delivers a punch.

Style/Specials/Etc. [Unmounted] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Mounting
ON GROUND
Parallel World Diego can summon his horse, Silver Bullet, to mount it, or dismount and send it away while summoning THE WORLD, shifting his movement and available abilities. Silver Bullet improves his basic mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. To note, Parallel Diego's Guard Gauge will not regenerate while he is Mounted unless he is in possession of all three Holy Corpse parts.
If the Style input () is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Parallel Diego mounts Silver Bullet much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Diego's unmounted combo into a mounted one.
THE WORLD!
x2 + ON GROUND
If Parallel Diego has a minimum of one and a half stocks of the Heart Heat Gauge, he can use his Stand's signature ability, "THE WORLD!". If the lengthy start-up animation completes, Parallel Diego will stop time for 3.4 ~ 6.9 seconds depending on how much of the HHG he has; The ability normally takes several seconds to activate and leaves Parallel Diego especially vulnerable to being interrupted, but executes drastically faster if he has a full three stocks of Heart Heat when performing it.
All animations, including the HHG flame and the countdown on the battle timer, will temporarily cease, and the opponent is frozen in place and completely unable to act. Damage dealt to the opponent that is not a Throw or HHA is reduced, but the opponent is otherwise absolutely vulnerable. When the ability ends and time resumes, the opponent will suffer all damage dealt to them at once.
Any projectiles unleashed through Parallel Diego's various abilities will hang in the air (knives thrown via "I'll skewer you!", the jerrycan tossed via "My trial is to conquer and kill at all costs.", and the lit matches thrown via "This is where the fun begins..."), notably doing more damage if they hit the opponent after time resumes than if they were to have connected immediately. Parallel Diego may use his HHA with impunity if he has enough Heart Heat to do so. He is even capable of hitting opponents that were down when the ability was activated, 'resetting' them into a standing position once hit. The ability is best used with normal attacks in mind in order to deal the most damage within the stopped time, as they execute quickly and their damage reduction within stopped time is insubstantial.
If Parallel Diego's Throw or HHA is used, time will immediately resume with the HHG drained to zero; As his GHA requires Silver Bullet, it is unavailable in stopped time.
If fighting against DIO or either version of Jotaro, Parallel Diego can use this ability to begin moving within the opposing fighter's stopped time, and may even outlast his opponent if their Heart Heat depletes before his.
It's useless. I'll cut you down.
+ ON GROUND
THE WORLD slowly delivers an overhead chop that leaves the opponent crumpling, striking as a middle attack that cannot be blocked crouching. This is a command normal that can chain into Parallel Diego's skills. (Comboable)
Attack type: Middle Damage: 25
Hmph!
+ ON GROUND
Parallel Diego slides forward to and twists to deliver a high back kick, knocking the opponent high into the air. This is a command normal that can chain into his skills. (Comboable)
Attack type: High Damage: 15
Holy Corpse
// while near Corpse Part ON GROUND
Parallel Diego receives a new blessing for every Holy Corpse Part he holds, but if successfully knocked down, drops the part and loses said blessing.
Parallel Diego's movement speed while Unmounted is increased.
Parallel Diego may have two Gasoline puddles active at once via "My trial is to conquer and kill at all costs."
The rate at which Parallel Diego's Guard Gauge regenerates is increased, and he may also regenerate Guard Gauge while Mounted.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード, Gogogo Mōdo)
Activates when under 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Parallel Diego falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.
Skills [Unmounted] (コマンド技)
I'll skewer you!
+ // ON GROUND
Parallel Diego flings a knife that flies straight forward. The attack button inputted determines the speed of the knife, inversely affecting the skill's activation speed.
This skill is special-cancelable, allowing Parallel Diego to chain into other skills. This also includes into itself, granting the ability to continuously throw knives at a rapid rate.
Attack type: High Damage: 30
My trial is to conquer and kill at all costs.
+ // ON GROUND TRAP WHEN DOWNED
Parallel Diego tosses an open jerrycan of gasoline into the air in an arc. Upon the jerrycan reaching the peak of its arc, the gasoline is spilled onto the floor directly below, where it is left as a puddle for a period of time.
The action of tossing the jerrycan is a melee strike that can knock the opponent into the air. The jerrycan itself can collide directly with the opponent for a small amount of damage while launching them slightly, allowing the skill to function as an anti-air attack. The attack button inputted determines how far the jerrycan is lobbed. (Flash Cancel comboable)
If the opponent is caught under the gasoline spillage or steps in the puddle, they are then doused in it, inflicted with Gasoline. This is indicated by the brownish liquid splashing off their body and an icon under their character portrait. This is true even if they are downed when the gasoline makes contact. However, if Parallel Diego is attacked by them, any gasoline puddles and the Gasoline effect will be nullified and disappear prematurely. The gasoline itself may also be 'blocked', preventing affliction.
Attack type: High Damage: 15 (melee) + 40 (jerrycan)
This is where the fun begins...
+ // ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED
Parallel Diego jumps a short distance backward while throwing a spread of lit matches forward. If the opponent is caught by the matches, they will take rapid damage and ignite. The matches can also strike a downed opponent. The amount of matches thrown and Parallel Diego's backward movement is determined by the attack button inputted. (Flash Cancel comboable)
If the opponent is afflicted with Gasoline, they will violently explode upon contact with the matches. If they are caught in the blast directly, even if they are downed when the matches hit them, they take heavy damage and are launched high into the air (Comboable). If the explosion is guarded, it will inflict an extreme amount of Guard Gauge damage equal to roughly 80% of the whole gauge, making this the highest Guard-damaging attack in the game. However, Parallel Diego may also be caught in the gasoline explosion if he is too close, causing him to flinch while taking a moderate amount of damage.
To note, only this skill will cause a Gasolined opponent to explode. Other fire-based sources such as various Assault Assists or certain characters' own self-inflicted damage will not trigger the explosion nor interact with the Gasoline effect in any way.
Using its ability, THE WORLD suddenly reappears at certain distances and sets a vertical barrier of barb wire as a short-lasting trap. If the opponent makes contact with it, the wire will wrap around them, briefly binding them and leaving them vulnerable to attack. The attack button inputted determines the distance forward that THE WORLD reappears to set the trap. (Comboable)
Only one barb wire trap may be active at a time, automatically disarming the previous one if the skill is performed again. However, if "THE WORLD!" is active, a second barb wire trap cannot be set while the first one is active.
Attack type: High Damage: 25
Throw (投げ技)
Why are you here?
2 ATK buttons at close range or ( to back-throw) ON GROUND

Style/Specials/Etc. [Mounted] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)
Mounting
ON GROUND
Parallel Diego can summon his horse, Silver Bullet, to mount it, or dismount and send it away while summoning THE WORLD, shifting his movement and available abilities. Silver Bullet improves his basic mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. To note, Parallel Diego's Guard Gauge will not regenerate while he is Mounted unless he is in possession of all three Holy Corpse parts.
If the Style input () is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Parallel Diego mounts Silver Bullet much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Diego's unmounted combo into a mounted one.
The champion of this race!
+ (costs 1 HH) ON GROUND
Expending a stock of Heart Heat, Parallel Diego and Silver Bullet fortify themselves, indicated by a reddish aura emanating from the two. While active, Silver Bullet's movement speed is increased, and Parallel Diego gains a Super Armor effect for all of his Mounted normal attacks starting from activation to the end of their active portions. This effect will last indefinitely. However, Parallel Diego cannot generate Heart Heat normally while it is active.
This ability will deactivate upon Parallel Diego being Dismounted (either manually or by the opponent's attacks), initiating his HHA or GHA, or if it is inputted a second time, signified by him petting Silver Bullet to calm it down.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード, Gogogo Mōdo)
Activates when under 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Diego falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

Attack type: High Damage: 30
Your sentence is death!
+ // ON GROUND
Using its ability, THE WORLD suddenly appears and delivers an uppercut in front of Parallel Diego, launching the opponent into the air and functioning as an anti-air attack. The distance forward that THE WORLD reappears and the number of hits dealt by the attack are determined by the attack button inputted, inversely affecting the skill's activation and recovery speed. ( version Flash Cancel comboable; & comboable normally)
Touching his fingers to his forehead, Parallel Diego suddenly stops time and reappears at the opponent's location, regardless of range or orientation, to deliver a knife attack. This skill automatically Dismounts him from atop Silver Bullet. His subsequent reappearance and the action performed depend on the attack button inputted.
Light (): He reappears directly in front of the opponent and stabs forward with the knife at a low angle, causing them to crumple to the ground. This variation is a low attack that cannot be blocked standing. (Comboable)
Medium (): He reappears directly above the opponent in a descending slash to knock them down, hard enough for them to bounce. This variation is a middle attack that cannot be blocked crouching. (Comboable)
Heavy (): The skill instead becomes a feint, with Parallel Diego flashing but not actually moving from his spot atop Silver Bullet, and able to act instantly.
Attack type: Low / Middle Damage: 65 / 80
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (HHA / GHA)
Me Time
+ 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
Observing the opponent for an opening, Parallel Diego sends THE WORLD out to deliver an uppercut. If the punch connects, the opponent is sent flying into the air as Parallel Diego stops time. He proceeds to take out a handful of knives and throw them in tandem with his Stand. The knives, totaling exactly 48, are subsequently suspended in mid-air, surrounding the opponent. Parallel Diego promptly resumes time and lets the knives strike their target while he watches.
Attack type: High Damage: 177
“
Now! This is where the fun begins... And time moves again... (フンッ お楽しみはここからだ……… 『時は動き出す』……, Fun! Otanoshimi wa koko kara da... "Toki wa ugokidasu"...)
”
Now I've got a plan...
+ 3 ATK Buttons, or ON GROUND
Parallel Diego's GHA can only be performed while Mounted, and will automatically summon Silver Bullet if used while Unmounted. Stating aloud that he has a plan, Diego has Silver Bullet lunge forward in a forceful full-body tackle. If it connects, the opponent is knocked back as Parallel Diego quickly jumps to the ground, summons THE WORLD, and stops time. Pulling out a revolver while his Stand advances toward the frozen opponent, he takes a bullet and roughly jams it against the hammer of the gun to imbue extra kinetic power into it. Loading the bullet and lifting the revolver up to eye level, he carefully takes aim at the opponent's head. Time resumes just as he fires the empowered shot and THE WORLD throws a hefty punch aimed at the opponent's face. A slow-motion shot of the opponent's shocked expression is shown, and the two attacks connect at the same time, completing the assault by blasting the opponent away.
Attack type: High Damage: 324 / 388 / 486 (depending on HH gauge)

Assist System (アシストシステム)
Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト, Asaruto Ashisuto)
ON GROUND
A two-stock assist. Parallel Diego summons THE WORLD to deploy a wall of barbed wire a distance away from him. If the opponent touches the wall, they will be bound for a short period of time. The wall will vanish either after an opponent or projectile hits it or after a set amount of time.
Attack type: High
Reversal Assist (リバーサルアシスト, Ribāsaru Ashisuto)
ON GROUND
A one-stock assist. Parallel Diego jumps into the enemy, punching them with THE WORLD and knocking them away. He then dismisses his Stand, strikes a pose, and jumps back off-screen.

THE WORLD, you say? Heh heh... Well, now. I, DIO, will test your strength! (『THE WORLD』だと? ククク、面白い…… おまえの力、このDIOが試してやろう!, "Za Wārudo" dato? Kukuku, omoshiroi... Omae no chikara, kono DIO ga tameshite yarō!)
DIO... and a Stand with the same power as mine? What's going on here? (DIO!? それに、同じ能力のスタンド……? どうなっているんだ……!?, DIO!? Sore ni, onaji nōryoku no Sutando...? Dō natteirun da...!?)

Who are you? You'd better not get in my way. Only one person's gonna get that corpse, and it's Dio! (なんだ、おまえ? 邪魔するなら容赦しないぜ…… 『遺体』を手に入れるのはこのDioだ!, Nanda, omae? Jama suru nara yōsha shinai ze... "Itai" o te ni ireru no wa kono Dio da!)
Where did that knife come from? Something's not right here... He has a strange power. (ナイフはどこから現れた……! 妙だぞ……こいつの能力、なにかある, Naifu wa doko kara arawareta...! Myō dazo... Koitsu no nōryoku, nanika aru.)
Ooh, you're sharp. But it'll be over soon... so soon, you won't even know it! (ほお、勘のいいやつだ。 だがすぐに終わらせてやる。気づく間もなくな!, Hō, kan no ī yatsu da. Daga suguni owarasete yaru. Kizuku mamonaku na!)

The Johnny Joestar of this world is my greatest trial. (この世界のジョニィ・ジョースターはオレにとって『最大の試練』だ, Kono sekai no Jonī Jōsutā wa ore ni totte "saidai no shiren" da.)

In a situation like this, I wish I could say something all tough and cool like Gyro. (この状況…ジャイロのように……タフなセリフを吐きたい, Kono jōkyō... Jairo no yō ni... Tafu na serifu o hakitai.)
That's the Stand you used to bring me here? Pretty wild. (そのスタンドでオレをここに連れて来たわけか。 面白い……, Sono Sutando de ore o koko ni tsurete kita wake ka. Omoshiroi...)

I'll pass any trial! I'll even overcome myself! (試練ならば乗り越えるまで! オレはオレ自身を越えてやる, Shiren naraba norikoeru made! Ore wa ore jishin o koete yaru.)

You're the one who's going to cease to exist. I'm this world's Dio now! (消滅するのはおまえのほうだ……この世界のDioはこのオレだ!, Shōmetsu suru no wa omae no hō da... Kono sekai no Dio wa kono ore da!)

That was impressive, but meaningless when time is stopped. (素晴らしい力だが、時を止めてしまえば無力だ, Subarashī chikara daga, toki o tomete shimaeba muryoku da.)

Interesting... Your power could be very useful. Serve me and I'll let you live. (ほお……なかなか面白い力を持っているな おれの下僕となるなら生かしておいてやろう, Hō... Nakanaka omoshiroi chikara o motteiru na. Ore no geboku to naru nara ikashite oite yarō.)
You... Your name is Joestar? Do you know Johnny Joestar? (おまえも……『ジョースター』なのか? あの『ジョニィ・ジョースター』と何か関係があるのか?, Omae mo... "Jōsutā" na no ka? Ano "Jonī Jōsutā" to nanika kankei ga aru no ka?)

When a guy like you goes right into a well-laid trap, there's no other feeling like it! (おまえみたいなやつをキチっと策にはめて勝つのが、 ヒジョーに楽しいってわけよ!, Omae mitai na yatsu o Kichitto saku ni hamete katsu no ga, hijō ni tanoshi itte wake yo!)
I don't follow anyone, and I don't work in groups. All I need is to stand at the top alone! (オレは誰にも従わないし、誰とも群れないぜ。 たったひとりで頂点を取ってやる!, Ore wa dare ni mo shita ga wa nai shi, dare tomo murenai ze. Tatta hitori de chōten o totte yaru!)

Unfortunately for you, my forces have no need for cavalry! (残念だったな! おれの部隊に、馬は必要ないのだァーーー!!, Zannen datta na! Ore no butai ni, uma wa hitsu yō nai no dā!!)
If this is another trial to get the corpse, I'll crush it, no questions asked! (これも『遺体』を手に入れるための試練なら、ひねり潰してやるだけだ……!, Kore mo "itai" o te ni ireru tame no shiren nara, hineri tsubushite yaru dake da...!)

5 seconds is the longest you can stop time? Neither your power, your strength, nor your speed are worthy of me, DIO, and The World! (止められるのはせいぜい5秒程度か? 能力も! パワーもスピードも! このDIOの『世界』の足元にも及ばん!, Tomerareru no wa seizei go-byō teido ka? Nōryoku mo! Pawā mo supīdo mo! Kono DIO no "Za Wārudo" no ashimoto ni mo oyoban!)
Just one thing: You've got the wrong guy. Though I didn't really expect you to understand. (最後にひとつ教えてやる。あんた人違いしてるぜ。 もっとも、そのザマじゃあ理解できないだろうがな, Saigo ni hitotsu oshiete yaru. Anta hitochigai shiteru ze. Mottomo, sono zama jā rikai dekinai darō ga na.)

Now spill it. Tell me how to kill my dad. DIO would know for sure! (さあ、喋ってもらおうか、おやじを殺す方法を! きさまが『DIO』なら知っているはずだ!, Sā, shabette moraō ka, oyaji o korosu hōhō o! Ki-sama ga "DIO" nara shitteiru hazu da!)
Being careful is useless against me. I'm the only one who can move in stopped time. (警戒したところで無駄だぜ? 止まった時の中を動けるのはおれだけだ, Keikai shita tokoro de muda daze? Tomatta toki no naka o ugokeru no wa ore dake da.)

It's a dangerous power, until you understand how it works. Metallic can take him out from outside his range. (厄介な能力だが、カラクリがわかれば他愛もない…… 『メタリカ』なら射程外から仕留められる, Yakkai na nōryoku daga, karakuri ga wakareba taai mo nai... "Metarika" nara shatei-gai kara shitomerareru.)
I win! You've been dismounted from your horse... You can't use the Infinite Spin! (オレの勝ちだ! おまえは『馬から下りた』……『無限の回転』はもう無い!, Ore no kachi da! Omae wa "uma kara orita"... "mugen no kaiten" wa mō nai!)
I'm this world's Dio now. So feel free to cease to exist with no regrets. (いまからオレがこの世界のDioだ。 おまえは安心して消滅していいぜ, Ima kara ore ga kono sekai no Dio da. Omae wa anshin shite shōmetsu shite ī ze.)

The winner will be me, Dio. (勝つのは「この」Dioだ, Katsu no wa 'kono' Dio da.)
I don't care about your last words, but I'd be happy to rule for you. (あんたの遺言を聞き届けるつもりはないが、支配者にはなってやるよ, Anta no yuigon o kiki todokeru tsumori wa nai ga, shihai-sha ni wa natte yaru yo.)

Seriously, that hair? I don't even need to stop time, because you're already stuck in another decade! (なんだ、その髪型…… 時を止める以前に、時代が止まっているんじゃあないか?, Nanda, sono kamigata... Toki o tomeru izen ni, jidai ga tomatte irun jā nai ka?)
