Дио Брандо (ディオ・ブランドー, Dio Burandō, Dio Brando), позднее известный как ДИО (
Первоначально, Дио — человек из низшего сословия, но с большими амбициями и жаждой власти. Став вампиром, а позже – обладателем стенда, Дио собрал возле себя множество приспешников. Несет ответственность за многие важные события в серии. Его влияние ощущается в каждой из первых шести частей серии, значительное количество персонажей либо находятся в родстве с ним, либо вдохновлены его идеями, как например Энрико Пуччи.
Обладая могущественным The World, Дио является первым антагонистом серии, обладающим стендом, а также одним из самых известных персонажей JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Кроме этого, он отец Джорно, протагониста Vento Aureo, а также трёх других внебрачных потомков.

Впервые приехав в особняк Джостаров, Дио одет в типичную одежду мальчиков той эпохи: синее пальто, белая классическая рубашка, галстук, подтяжки, бриджи и полосатые носки. У него светлые волосы и красивое лицо, а также 3 родинки на мочке левого уха.
Не считая замены пальто жилетом, в одежде Дио почти ничего не изменилось. Однако его телосложение и рост значительно увеличились. Когда Джонатан ищет лекарство от болезни своего отца, Дио появляется в цилиндре и новом ярком плаще с перьями, торчащими из плеч.
Дио резко меняет физическую внешность после использования Каменной Маски, которая превращает его в вампира. Его прибранные волосы становятся растрёпанными, глаза — остреют и приобретают более темные очертания, а во рту появляются клыки.
Его одежда также немного изменилась после первой битвы с Джонатаном: появился шарф на шее. Он носит богато украшенную двухцветную рубашку с соответствующими бриджами, большие ботинки, наручи и пару подтяжек, прикрепленных к поясу вокруг его талии.
DIO does not have a visible face as an effect of the shadowy darkness of his mansion. He has shoulder-length blond hair and is topless, exposing Jonathan's muscular body (on which his head is sewn in place) He wears pants with suspenders, clogs, shiny cuffs on both wrists, and heart-shaped knee guards. In the game JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future, his voice is also distorted (an effect created by the developers to add a sense of mystery). This form of DIO is also called "The Evil Incarnation DIO".
Incorporating his previous outfit, 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 Polnareff.
When pursuing the Joestar group, DIO donned a cloak that he ended up discarding during his confrontation with Kakyoin.
DIO nears his physical peak after draining Joseph Joestar's blood. His appearance now is 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 now 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 his 'High' or 'Awakened' form.
Дио имеет властный и манипулятивный характер, и неоднократно демонстрирует отсутствие совести и эмпатии.
Наиболее характерные черты Дио – его властолюбие и амбициозность. Прожив своё детство с отцом-тираном в ужасных условиях жизни,[1] Дио поставил перед собой цель стать самым богатым, а затем самым могущественным существом на Земле. Ради этой цели, Дио использовал всё, что мог, чтобы продвигаться в своих планах, пренебрегая моралью, которая ограничивала его. Прибегая к манипуляции, соблазнению или же чистому насилию, Дио постоянно стремился развить свою силу. Он властолюбив [2][3] и неоднократно заявляет, что отлично себя чувствует в своём высоком расположении. С другой стороны, Дио никогда не мог смириться с тем, что кто-то может противостоять ему или быть равным по силе, и неоднократно приходил в ярость и глубокую тревогу от этой мысли.
На протяжении жизни, Дио окружал себя глупыми дружками, а затем – подчинёнными, привлекая их своей естественной харизмой. Поначалу, он выбирал кого попало, а затем стал искать тех, кого он считал закоренелыми злодеями, утверждая, что они духовно сильнее, так как они не ограничены такими понятиями, как честь и достоинство. Для своего плана, он хотел собрать 36 душ грешников, или, как он утверждает, особенно сильных душ, для раскрытия силы, превосходящей его стенд The World.
Естественно, Дио – невероятно эгоистичный человек, который игнорирует интересы других и прижимает их к земле. Благодаря своей сдержанной натуре, Дио может манипулировать и заставлять разных людей работать на него, применяя любые средства, пока этот человек может воплотить его текущие мечты. Однако, Дио не способен искренне полюбить другого человека, так как он только эгоистично ищет выгоду в других.[4] Единственные люди, к которым Дио ощущал некую привязанность – это его мать, Джонатан Джостар и Энрико Пуччи; Дио ценит Джонатана не менее, чем себя, и дружит с Пуччи. Тем не менее, дружба с Джонатаном ограничилась тем, что Дио оставил тело Джонатана невредимым и использовал его в своих целях.
При взаимодействии с другими, Дио будет пытаться манипулировать ими и перетягивать на свою сторону, используя своё мягкосердечное отношение и обаяние, чтобы вызывать у людей восхищение. Например, он был примерным сыном для отца Джонатана и отличным другом для его окружения, чтобы лучше затмить Джонатана, а в форме вампира, его обаяние только усилилось, создавая имидж таинственного харизматичного человека. Однако его природное высокомерие приводит к тому, что он открыто оскорбляет и унижает своих врагов, пренебрегая их силами перед его вампирическими способностями или мощным стендом.
Дио по-разному подходит к проблемам, в зависимости от ситуации и своего настроения. В форме человека, Дио осторожно и методично пытался сломить дух Джонатана и медленно отравлял Джорджа в течение долгого периода времени, но ему помешали неудачные повороты судьбы. В форме вампира, Дио позволил высокомерию взять верх над собой, и лишь отправлял подчинённых, чтобы убить команду Джостара, пока он восстанавливался. Поражение, нанесённое ему Джонатаном, научило его остерегаться Джостаров в целом, и он напал на Джонатана из засады, а в Stardust Crusaders, отправил своих пешек, чтобы задержать Джостаров, пока он восстанавливается. В финальной битве, он проявляет осторожность, тактическую смекалку и высокомерие, чередуя скрупулёзный подход и самоуверенные атаки.
В Phantom Blood, Дио показан амбициозным, эгоистичным, высокомерным, бессердечный и с манией величия, способный пойти на всё ради своих целей
Его безжалостная натура впервые проявляется, когда он планирует использовать семью Джостаров, несмотря на то, что они были добры к нему, когда усыновили его.[5] Чтобы извлечь из них выгоду, занять место Джонатана Джостара и заполучить их состояние, Дио использует самые изощрённые средства. Пытаясь морально уничтожить Джонатана, Дио заставляет его с позором проиграть в местном турнире по боксу, изолирует его от друзей,[2] а затем крадёт право первого поцелуя у Эрины Пендлтон, чтобы вбить клин в их зарождающиеся отношения.[6] Потерпев неудачу, Дио начинает медленно отравлять Джорджа Джостара I, имитируя естественную смерть, и пытается убить Джонатана с помощью Каменной Маски, так, чтобы это выглядело как несчастный случай.[7] Дио демонстрирует непоколебимую целеустремлённость, он не падает духом, несмотря на многочисленные поражения на протяжении Phantom Blood, и постоянно ищет способ отомстить Джонатану.
Очевидно, Дио неспособен к эмпатии: несмотря на то, что он прожил несколько лет с добрыми Джостарами, он считал их только препятствиями, и он презирает людей высоких чинов. Дио выглядел обаятельным и приятным человеком для всех, кроме Джонатана, но никогда не был в близких отношениях. В конце части, единственный, к кому Дио проявляет уважение — это Джонатан Джостар, неохотно признавая доблесть своего заклятого врага[8] и "награждая" его смертью без боли, и был даже шокирован, увидев его смерть.[9] Превратившись в могущественного вампира, Дио стал насмехаться над слабостями людей, с которыми он сражался, и принижать их в пользу своей высшей расы. Он даже превратил мать ребёнка в зомби, чтобы увидеть, как она съест собственное дитя. При своей силе, он нередко издевается над врагами, например, когда он засовывает свой большой палец в глаз Джонатану, нанося ему удар.[2]
Дио несдержан в своей жестокости, и с самого детства был склонен к вспышкам насилия, что показано, когда он пытается повредить глаз Джонатана, нанося удар в лицо, и изо всех сил даёт пощёчину Эрине.[3] Он бессердечно относится к собаке Джонатана, Дэнни, вплоть до того, что пинает пса при первой встрече с ним.[5] В конце концов, он сжигает собаку. Он приходит в дикую ярость, когда кто-то противостоит ему, и это является причиной его вспышек гнева. Он сам признаёт, что его гнев является проявлянием слабости,[10] но на протяжении всей своей жизни, не может по-настоящему контролировать себя.
Злобную личность Дио можно объяснить его несчастливым детством и насилием со стороны отца, Дарио Брандо. Однако Спидвагон отрицает это, заявляя, что Дио с самого рождения был таким, и бедность на него не повлияла. В любом случае, Дио с самого начала был аморальным человеком, но потом открыто отрекается от человечности в пользу того, чтобы стать вампиром, когда полицейские поймали его.[11] Его коварство и интрига сменяется высокомерием и гедонизмом, позволяя ему отвергнуть понятие человечности и упиваться злом. Тем не менее, Дио уважает решительных людей, и даже говорит Джонатану, что его решительность так же сильна, как и у него, отдавая ему "честь" стать новым телом для Дио, когда тот уничтожил всё тело вампира, кроме головы.[8]
Подразумевается, что Дио имеет потенциал к сочувствию, так как он убивает своего отца из мести за жестокое обращение с его матерью, а не в качестве шага своего плана.
Дио выражает ненависть к собакам, считая их паразитами.[2]
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.
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.
This time, DIO is far more calm and collected. Maybe due to knowing that his Stand The World is far above anyone's reach, DIO is more tolerant of people resisting him, and didn't react to Polnareff's taunts and insults. He even seems to appreciate Hol Horse's insubordination, which confirms the mercenary's strength, and let him go try to assassinate Jotaro. However, DIO is still callous about human life and killed anyone who would fail him, even Enya—who was, again, his closest adviser. The usually confident and cunning gambler Daniel D'Arby was driven to madness when he couldn't handle the pressure of possibly revealing DIO's Stand ability to Jotaro.
True to himself, DIO is enjoying the fact that he is wielding the most powerful Stand in his organization, being unconcerned by the heroes' effort to discover his power as he thinks they are meaningless. When Jotaro reveals himself to be able to move within the stopped time, DIO is initially very distraught but recomposes himself quickly, devising other plans to get rid of Jotaro by exploiting his advantage. The full scale of his insanity is visible when, overjoyed to have completely fused with Jonathan's body and being at full power, DIO declares that he was experiencing "the greatest high" and delightfully drills his index finger into his skull.
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.
In flashbacks placed before the events of Part 3, DIO demonstrates a burgeoning ability to be genuinely nice to another person in numerous conversations with Enrico Pucci. Intrigued by Pucci, who let him be despite suspiciously hiding in a church, DIO healed his crooked foot, a kind gesture, and gave him the head of an Arrow, which would grant him his own Stand, Whitesnake. During these flashbacks, DIO is able to open up with him on multiple subjects, and confiding to Pucci that the priest could make him be at peace. Once daring Pucci to steal his Stand, to Pucci's refusal, DIO thanked him for his fidelity, and even admitted that he feared the thought of Pucci betraying him.
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 Pucci as his living "conscience", in case he would go crazy and veer "off track".

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.
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 genuinely cared about Enrico Pucci, and even more so about his plan to go to heaven, stating outright that he would sacrifice his organization, his vampiric abilities, his stand, everything - just to achieve his goal of creating his heaven on earth.
ДИО один из самых сильных персонажей в серии. Будучи человеком, он уже был неотразим, но со временем ему удалось заполучить новые способности, став Вампиром, а уже позже обладателем Станда.
Станд ДИО, The World; Станд ближней дистанции, со сравнимой, если не большей силой и скоростью против станда Джотаро Куджо, Star Platinum.
About a year after gaining his Stand, DIO discovered it's signature ability of stopping time. At first, he could only do this for a very short amount of time, but by the end of Part 3, he is able to stop time for a maximum of 9 seconds.[12] This duration would have continued to increase, had DIO not been defeated. When stopping time, DIO gives the impression that he is teleporting or otherwise moving at impossible speeds.
The ability is best known for DIO's activation and cancellation phrases, The World! Time, stop! (
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.
To give himself an advantage, DIO has tried to keep the ability of The World a secret, only using it at key moments to psych out an opponent and perform incomprehensible sneak attacks, as well as only trusting its secret to a few confidants such as Enya the Hag and not hesitating to eliminate her as soon as she remotely risked to inform the Joestars of his timestop power. However, as soon as they understood its ability, DIO dropped the secret and showed a great degree of confidence about the supremacy of his power, ultimately not caring about his secret as he was convinced that no one could do anything about it. Thus, he began to liberally stop time against Jotaro. Thanks to the free time-frame of action granted by The World, DIO has made it possible to instantly reposition himself to avoid attacks or set himself up to attack, kill enemies instantly, or even displace his opponents to toy with them.
DIO has shown a high degree of control over The World, using it to battle Jotaro's Star Platinum to a standstill, but showing superior technique in hand to hand combat by using low kicks to unbalance Star Platinum or feints to out-punch Star Platinum. However, his Vampire constitution means that DIO never showed the same care at using The World defensively at he preferred to avoid being hit at all and regenerate by sucking blood.
Unlike every other enemy Stand User in Stardust Crusaders, DIO actively sought to improve his Stand's capabilities. He notably wanted the Joestar Group to come to him so that he could suck the blood of a Joestar and sync himself up with Jonathan's body to bolster his powers further. Araki himself has stated that DIO had the potential to stop time indefinitely.
Moreover, DIO had searched a way to unlock a power even more powerful than The World, using esoteric knowledge to divine a plan to create another mightier Stand.
Due to the Arrow awakening a stand ability Jonathan Joestar's body in addition to DIO himself,[13] DIO is capable of using a Hermit Purple-like Stand which allows him to create psychic images, be it on photographs or crystal balls. Due to the connection he has between Jonathan's body and his descendants, DIO is also able to sense the presence of other Joestars and can use this to track their position. He is even able to tell when Joseph uses 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.
When DIO awakened The World, Jonathan's body also awakened a Hermit Purple-like Stand power with semi-precognitive abilities.[14] Similar to Hermit Purple, it can produce psychic photographs by striking a camera or a crystal ball, which DIO used to track the Joestars and their friends' current location to send Stand Users after them. DIO was even able to tell when 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, this Stand shares the same name as Hermit Purple and is called "Hermit Purple #2". In JORGE JOESTAR, this Stand is instead named "The Passion" and takes the form of a crown of thorns, along with also being able to watch the futures of anyone that is blood-related to Jonathan.
Becoming a Vampire as a young adult, Dio Brando displays a broad range of fantastic, supernatural abilities, explained as expressions of the full, unbound potential of the human body.
Интеллект: 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.
Otherwise, Dio is a cunning villain and proficient tactician in combat. Dio almost managed to get away with two murders, biding his time in order to have a perfect alibi and was only discovered by accident. Upon his return from the bottom of the ocean, DIO built in six years a powerful criminal empire spanning over several continents and which brought him many riches. In a fight, Dio is particularly cunning and perceptive, his ruthlessness making him able to exploit dishonorable and downright inhuman tactics to get ahead, such as leading his enemies into a trap, using hapless civilians as projectiles and sources of energy, or plain sneak attacks. Dio has the habit of analyzing his opponents and determine quickly a counter to their strengths, such as freezing blood in order to stop the flow of the Ripple or forcing Jotaro's bluff by throwing multiple knives from all direction so that he's forced to act during the stopped time.
Naturally ambitious, Dio constantly seeks to improve himself and meticulously studies his abilities to make the most of them. As such, he developed a freezing power akin to the Pillar Men's Modes in just a month, and in six years, discovered enough about Stands to be able to fuse several together with souls in order to create the ultimate Stand. Arguably his most successful move Dio experimented on how his vampiric powers allowed him to fuse two organisms together and used that knowledge to steal Jonathan's body.
Though he doesn't show it often, Dio has become a natural philosopher, arguing about the human condition with multiple people.
Выносливость: 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).
Харизма: 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.
Знания: Throughout both his humble youth and tempestuous maturity, Dio is often seen reading. During his pre-teens, 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 his diary, incorporating vast, unknown information as to the deliberate creation of Stands of perfectly specific abilities.
Духовная Связь: 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.
