{{Nihongo|'''Diavolo'''|ディアボロ|Diaboro}} is the main antagonist of the fifth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Vento Aureo]],'' as well as the fourth [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of the series overall.
Line 89 ⟶ 88:

[[File:Passione orders.gif|thumb|250x250px|Subordinates never interact directly with Diavolo, not even capos]]
The biggest personality trait Diavolo shows is his obsession with
[[File:Diavolo secrets.gif|left|thumb|228x228px|Diavolo will violently protect his secrets]]
Line 101 ⟶ 100:
For Diavolo, keeping stability within Passione is secondary to maintaining power and his status as the boss; a mentality that eventually realizes the corruption of Naples, worsens the city's drug problem, and ultimately, leads to the rousal of Giorno Giovanna into joining the gang seeking to dethrone their boss. Diavolo only commands the obedience of his subordinates through greed or fear, causing the organization to even be corrupted within itself, with members turning against each other, and multiple people plotting against him. Diavolo is also unforgiving of those he considers enemies, most especially traitors. Should anyone try to approach his alter ego Doppio and pry too much on his past, Diavolo violently rebukes them. For instance, he violently murdered a fortune teller who correctly divined his history.<ref name="C541">{{Ch|Chapter 541}}</ref> He has proven capable of restraint, as he told Doppio to spare a taxi driver after realizing that he hadn't seen the photo of Donatella Una that he was attempting to hide.<ref name="C542">{{Ch|Chapter 542}}</ref>
Diavolo has also demonstrated an inability to empathize or even understand other people's emotions and morals, especially those righteous, as well as an inability to properly interact with anyone, due in no small part to his overwhelming pride and antisocial secretiveness. When Bucciarati revolts, Diavolo openly theorizes that Bucciarati merely wanted to overthrow him or was opportunistic in his presence, without considering that hurting his daughter deeply angered Bucciarati. Later, when Bucciarati is about to destroy [[Chariot Requiem]] to force Diavolo away from the Arrow, Diavolo vainly begs him to stop by merely trying to make an appeal from his own logic, simply asking Bucciarati who is the most deserving of the Arrow and claiming that a weakling would not be able to master its power. When interacting with others, Diavolo tends to act rather respectfully for his opponents and subordinates if they are obedient and competent. He compliments both Risotto and Bucciarati for their resourcefulness during their battles and offers [[Risotto]] an honorable death.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 548}}</ref> On a smaller scale, he compliments a fortune teller capable of accurately deriving his past as being "the best of the best" and giving a brutal yet painless death. However, Diavolo is also domineering and aggressive, taking his thoughts for absolute truths and ordering his interlocutor around; When he is angry, he is prone to shout insults and issue death threats.
[[File:Diavolo execute.gif|thumb|261x261px|Diavolo quickly killing Polnareff in one punch]]
Diavolo approaches fights coldly, only considering confrontations as chores to be completed to maintain his supremacy. Diavolo favors eliminating his victims quickly using his King Crimson to confuse them and kill them in a single move. As seen with Bucciarati, Diavolo is shown slightly amused (or at least his Stand is) by the futile efforts of his opponents and boasts regularly about his perceived invincibility. A pragmatic man, Diavolo still approaches the situation carefully, especially when Doppio is in command, and cannot use his full power. In an unadvantageous situation, Diavolo is patient, carefully undermining the enemy before using one critical attack, making him a most dangerous enemy during any battle, regardless of King Crimson's time erasure.
Line 134 ⟶ 133:
Diavolo is for unknown reasons, exceptionally knowledgeable about souls and their mechanisms, and is also equally skilled at manipulating his own soul.
Diavolo shows uncommon knowledge about souls, for instance being able to tell the near dying Bucciarati's state and then correctly guess that he can only see souls. Knowing that the souls of family members have the same "scent", Diavolo is able to grant a shard of his soul to Doppio to disguise himself as Trish's soul. Moreover, under [[Chariot Requiem]]'s influence, Diavolo has been able to control in which body he could go, although he otherwise couldn't freely control it.
Throughout the entirety of the battle against [[Chariot Requiem]], Diavolo's soul takes the form of [[King Crimson]], and speaks and emotes completely through it.
Line 160 ⟶ 159:
===Family===
*[[Donatella Una]]: Although the specifics of their relationship are unknown, outside of Diavolo never talking about himself and going by the false name of "Solid Naso," it can be inferred that it was largely positive on both sides. Diavolo took a picture of Donatella once, which she kept throughout the years (although he becomes enraged upon learning that it still exists). Interestingly enough, Diavolo never attempted to have Donatella executed despite his ruthlessness. Likewise, Donatella loved Diavolo and told her daughter good things about him (though she only knew the lies he told her), and it's known that as Donatella died from her illness, she wished to see her lover again.
*[[Trish Una]]: Diavolo remains unaware of Trish's existence until Donatella passes away and Squadra Esecuzioni begins searching for clues to their former employer's identity. Diavolo realizes that their bond of blood allows him to sense her presence (the bonds of family being a reoccurring supernatural force in the world of ''JoJo''). Immediately realizing that she could sense him as well and jeopardize his anonymity, he set in motion a plan to kill her with his own hands and used Bucciarati's group as pawns to bring her to him without letting the traitors capture her. Having no love for his daughter, Diavolo repeatedly fails to rationalize why Bucciarati and his team would go as far as to betray and oppose him in order to protect Trish. When she stops him from obtaining the Arrow during the final battle, he responds by cursing her existence and having King Crimson punch clean through her stomach in a final unsuccessful attempt to kill her. Afterward, Diavolo would mockingly thank Trish for giving him the courage to attack Giorno Giovanna, as she revealed to her allies that Diavolo was attempting to run away, tempering his pride.
*[[Diavolo's Mother|Mother]]: Diavolo's mother was incarcerated at the time of his birth, and remained so for the first eight years of his childhood. At some point, Diavolo met his mother and, for unknown reasons, sewed her mouth shut before binding and burying her beneath the floor of his room.
*[[Diavolo's Foster Father|Foster father]]: As a child born in prison, Diavolo was adopted by a priest in a Sardinian village, and grew up under his care. The priest was supportive of Diavolo's decision to become a sailor, and even decided to build a garage for him after seeing him and [[Donatella Una|a woman]] on a date. However, this would also cause his death, as when he was digging into the concrete, he uncovered Diavolo's mother. That same night, the Sardinian village was burned to the ground, with the priest among the casualties.
Line 178 ⟶ 177:
*[[Jean Pierre Polnareff]]: Polnareff is one of Diavolo's many enemies, though Diavolo did not have any interest in Polnareff particularly. As soon as Diavolo found out Polnareff had been investigating him, he made a personal and brutal attempt to dispose of him, but unknowingly left him alive. During their second confrontation, Diavolo did not care much that Polnareff was still alive, nor that he knew his name, but rather wanted to know immediately why Polnareff would possess an Arrow, displaying a sense of urgency on the matter of his familiar foe. Nonetheless, Diavolo would, without much effort, successfully put an end to Polnareff once more, stepping on his neck in order to check his pulse and confirm his death. However, Diavolo did not know that Chariot Requiem would save its former master by preserving his soul in the body of the turtle [[Coco Jumbo]].
*[[La Squadra Esecuzioni]]: Diavolo distrusted La Squadra, refusing to give them territory and higher pay despite their work. When [[Sorbet and Gelato|two of their members]] began searching for his identity, Diavolo had them killed, one of whom was sectioned into 36 individual pieces, which were then mailed individually back to the group. After two years of silence, La Squadra discovered Diavolo's relation to his daughter Trish and defected from Passione, planning to use her for them to find and kill their former boss. Diavolo disdained these assassins, but came to respect their leader, [[Risotto Nero]] to a degree, considering him a worthy opponent and granting him the dubious "honor" of a painless death if he obeyed his command of restoring his iron level during their fight.
*[[Cioccolata]] and [[Secco]]: As immoral as Diavolo was, he considered both of them monstrous and only kept them in his organization due to their powerful combination and individual abilities alike. As such, he only used them as a last resort to eliminate the remaining members of Team Bucciarati. On their part, Cioccolata and Secco only obeyed Diavolo because he let them torture people and planned to overthrow him eventually. Once Diavolo reached the Colosseum to confront Polnareff, he saw no use for them and left them to die at the hands of Team Bucciarati.

== Creation and Development==
[[Hirohiko Araki]] stated that he could have created a villain that was similar to [[DIO]] to appeal to popularity, but preferred adding variety rather than rehash previous characters. With that in mind, he designed Diavolo to be a different kind of evil, one just as powerful and captivating as DIO or [[Yoshikage Kira]], but with a distinct identity. Despite being a mafia boss, since one of the themes of Part 5 was to "draw {{W|bishonen}} characters," Araki decided not to design Diavolo as an older, imposing figure like {{W|Marlon Brando}}'s character, {{W|Vito Corleone}}, from ''{{W|The Godfather}}''.<ref name="nmt">''[[Hirohiko Araki's New Manga Techniques]]'' - "Part 5: Diavolo—A Mafia Boss Among Criminals"</ref>
Diavolo and King Crimson were partially inspired by George/Kuato, from the 1990 science fiction film ''{{W|Total Recall (1990 film)|Total Recall}}'', a mutated human with a smaller twin brother conjoined in his belly. Araki thought Diavolo would look "punk" if his hair had a leopard pattern, hence the unique design.<ref name="JOJOVELLER">{{JJV|King Crimson}}</ref>▼
▲He designed [[King Crimson]] at the same time as Diavolo.<ref name="nmt" /> Diavolo's split personality was inspired by the popularity of works exploring multiple personalities at the time, such as the novel ''{{W|The Minds of Billy Milligan}}'',<ref name="nmt" /> which is based on the story of {{W|Billy Milligan}}, the first person in U.S. history acquitted of a major crime by pleading {{W|Dissociative identity disorder|dissociative identity disorder}}. Diavolo and King Crimson were also partially inspired by George
===Casting===
[[Kellen Goff]], Diavolo's voice actor in the English dub of the anime, additionally auditioned for [[Vinegar Doppio]] as well as Diavolo,<ref>https://twitter.com/kellengoff/status/1320263932901117953?s=20</ref> though he only won Diavolo's role. He theorizes that Diavolo's personality contains a bit of Doppio's personality in it that resurfaces when Diavolo loses his cool, and compares Diavolo to a child who is "playing the boss". This influenced his performance, and every time Diavolo loses his calm, Goff voices him with a higher pitch to evoke the idea that Diavolo's childish side resurfaces.<ref>https://twitter.com/kellengoff/status/1320264013121384448?s=20</ref>
==Trivia==
*According to a Top 10 List published in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]] in 2000, Diavolo is Araki's second favorite antagonist and fourth favorite character overall.
*Diavolo's voice actor in [[All Star Battle]] and [[Eyes of Heaven]], [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]], would later go on to also voice [[Yoshikage Kira]]/[[Sheer Heart Attack]] in the [[Diamond is Unbreakable|Part 4]] [[Diamond is Unbreakable (Anime)|TV Anime]]. Meanwhile, his TV anime voice actor, [[Katsuyuki Konishi]], also voiced [[Jonathan Joestar]] in the lost [[Phantom Blood (Film)|2007 Phantom Blood movie]].
