Parallel World: Difference between revisions - JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia

In ''Steel Ball Run'', an uncountable number of parallel worlds are assumed, each following the same basic chain of events. In one of these worlds, referred to as the {{Nihongo|"base world"|基本世界|kihon sekai}}, a certain [[Saint's Corpse]] is scattered across the United States, leading to a [[Steel Ball Run (race)|horse race]] almost two millennia later with the secret aim of collecting the corpse. The same horse race occurs in other parallel worlds, but other goals take the place of the corpse, such as diamonds held by President [[Funny Valentine]].<ref name="d4c5">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 70}}</ref>

Funny Valentine's Stand, [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]], allows parallel worlds to overlap with each other, permitting people and objects to travel between them by preserving their internal gravity.<ref name="d4c14">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 81}}</ref> In order to do so, Valentine must compress the target between any two objects, which can range from doors and drawers to spilled water.<ref name="d4c8">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 75}}</ref> However, with the exception of Valentine himself, only one instance of any person or thing can exist in any parallel world; if two or more exist, they will slowly be drawn toward each other until they collide and are both erased.<ref name="d4c4">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 69}}</ref> Though Valentine is ultimately defeated by [[Tusk|Tusk ~~Act 4~~ACT4]]'s infinite rotation, which affects Valentine's gravity itself, he manages to summon a [[Parallel World Diego]] to the base world in a final desperate bid to secure the corpse for America's gain.<ref name="hv2">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 91}}</ref>

In ''Eyes of Heaven'', a [[Heaven-Attained DIO|version of DIO]] in a parallel world fully evolves his Stand into [[The World Over Heaven]], using it to triumph over [[Jotaro Kujo]] and rewrite the universe to his liking. [[Funny Valentine]] stumbles across this version of DIO while attempting to escape the effects of [[Tusk|Tusk ~~Act 4~~ACT4]], leading DIO to discover the existence of multiple worlds. DIO thus sets out to conquer the base world and obtain the [[Saint's Corpse]], overwriting various characters to turn them into his [[Agents of DIO#Heaven-Attained DIO's Agents|subordinates]].
