}}
When he first arrives at the [[Joestar Mansion]] as a young child, Dio wears a 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 three moles on the lobule of his left ear. When boxing, he wears a shirt with folded sleeves, overalls, and boxing gloves.
Aside from replacing his coat with a vest, as an adult, Dio's attire hasn't changed much. However, his overall physique and height increase 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. However, 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. 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.
In an interview, Araki describes how the movie {{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>
===''Stardust Crusaders''===
[[File:DIO Anime Render.png|frameless|left|120px]]
At the start of Part 3, DIO doesn't have a visible face as an effect of the shadowy darkness of [[DIO's Mansion|his mansion]]. He has shoulder-length blond hair and is often topless, exposing Jonathan's muscular body (on which his head is sewn in place). He wears pants with suspenders, boots, shiny cuffs on both wrists, and heart-shaped knee guards. In ''[[JoJo's Venture]]'' and [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|its revision]], his voice is also extra distorted compared to the standard filter used for his other playable version. 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 {{Nihongo|'''Shadow DIO'''|影DIO}}.
Once revealed, 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. 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]]. When pursuing the Joestar group, DIO donned a cloak that he ended up discarding during his confrontation with [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]].
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 latter half of the ''[[DIO's World]]'' story arc, often called {{Nihongo|'''High DIO'''|ハイDIO}} in Japanese media.

{{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.
[[File:
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.
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<ref name="C18">{{Ch|Chapter 18}}</ref> 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.
[[File:Dio plotting.png|left|thumb|Dio planning to mentally break Jonathan and usurp his place upon meeting him]]
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 because he is primarily interested in their capabilities. Dio is the type who is incapable of loving another person wholeheartedly.<ref name="eureka">[[Interview:Eureka (November 2007)|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.
[[File:Dio charms Kakyoin.jpg|thumb|DIO "charming" Kakyoin to his side]]
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. He 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" />
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.

In ''Phantom Blood'', Dio is ambitious, selfish, arrogant, callous and megalomaniacal, seemingly able to do anything to achieve his aims.
[[File:Dio abandons humanity.png|thumb|Dio drops all pretense of good]]
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.
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" />
Line 220 ⟶ 188:
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.
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" />
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.
Line 226 ⟶ 194:
Dio has expressed hatred for dogs, considering them vermin.<ref name=":1" />

{{Quote|{{Nihongo2|Everyone survives in pursuit of peace of mind... Aren't you uneasy, preparing to fight me, knowing you may die?

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.
[[File:
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.
Line 238 ⟶ 206:
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.
===
{{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]]
Line 244 ⟶ 212:
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".
===OVER HEAVEN===
{{Non-Canon|oh|skip=oh1}}
[[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]].
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.
Line 253 ⟶ 222:
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.
For what it was worth, DIO appears to have

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.

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.

In the light novel [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Over Heaven|OVER HEAVEN]], this Stand shares the same name as [[Hermit Purple]] and is called "Hermit Purple #2".

|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.

|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.
{{Non-Canon|oh}}

====Inteligencja====
Dio is naturally intelligent, displaying cunning and perceptiveness as well as imagination repeatedly.
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.
Line 464 ⟶ 431:
Though he doesn't show it often, Dio has become a natural philosopher, arguing about the human condition with multiple people.
====Inne====
*'''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).
*'''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.
*'''Knowledge:
*'''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.
===Weaknesses===
*'''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.
*'''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.
==
===
*[[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 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.
*[[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>
*[[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.
===
*[[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.
*[[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.
Line 496 ⟶ 461:
*[[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.
===
*[[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.
*[[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.
Line 509 ⟶ 473:
*[[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.
===Partnerzy w OVER HEAVEN===
{{Non-Canon|oh|skip=oh2}}
*[[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.
Line 518 ⟶ 480:
*[[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.
*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.
*Unborn Sibling: It is revealed that Dio's mother was pregnant with an unborn sibling but ended up miscarrying
*[[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.
{{Non-Canon|end|skip=oh2}}
===Partnerzy w ''Eyes of Heaven''===
{{Non-Canon|eoh|skip=eoh}}
*[[Giorno Giovanna]]: Intrigued that he had a son with such capabilities, he acknowledges Giorno's power if he wins. He has no problems fighting alongside him, as evidenced by their combined attack.
*[[Mariah]]: DIO shows absolute faith in Mariah's abilities.
*[[Will Anthonio Zeppeli|Will Zeppeli]]: While their relationship is essentially the same as in the manga, when Zeppeli encounters DIO from ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', he will state 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.

==Tworzenie i Rozwój==
[[File:GIBT.png|thumb|B.T.]]
[[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> 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">{{JJN|Volume 3 (Dio Brando)}}</ref>
[[Hirohiko 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>
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" />
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}}}} from ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'' onward (as well as in 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>
In Araki's Top Ten Favorite Characters in 2000, DIO ranked as tenth, being the third main villain in the countdown.
===Casting===
[[Takehito Koyasu]] is the voice actor for Dio Brando in various media. He's also voiced [[Diego Brando]] (as well as [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Alternate Diego]]) and [[Heaven Ascension DIO]] in ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle|All-Star Battle]]'' and ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven]]''.
When reading the ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' manga, Koyasu reads it from Dio's point of view instead of [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]]'s. He mentions that he barely read the script and would read the manga instead. He also mentions that recording the lines for [[Episode 3]] felt a bit unusual for him, as he experienced an illusion which he never felt in his 26 years of voicing. He actually felt as if the studio was engulfed in flames and that he had become Dio fighting [[Kazuyuki Okitsu]] who had become Jonathan. He felt a rush of adrenaline during these scenes, mentioning that he had a runner's high.<ref>[[JoJo raDIO]] Episode 11</ref>
==Ciekawostki==
*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]].
