Book-Only Information

• After getting his Stand, Dio began his journey to reach heaven. (Which is implied to refer to Stairway To Heaven/Made in Heaven)
• Dio thought his mother was a fool, and was disgusted by "giving" people and placed his father above her in terms of respect. He also admitted to regret killing his father.
• The blood for young women is the more effective for vampire.
• Violent people make stronger Zombies.
• Evil people has powerful souls.
• Dio never adapted to Jonathan's body. He needed the blood of the Joestars to do so.
• Dio discovered he needed a "friend" with a noble personality and no ambition. At first he thinks D'arby was an option, but  soon discovers he is greedy. After meeting Pucci, he starts to think of him as a candidate.
• Dio entertained the idea of making a truce between himself and Jotaro and co, but abandoned the idea because he felt that even if there was a way to relieve Holly of her stand, they would still want to defeat him because he is inherently evil.
• Dio theorizes Erina Joestar placed both him, herself, and the infant Lisa-Lisa in the casket on the boat where Jonathan died to escape the explosion.
• Dio had a secondary stand, the one Jonathan would develop, which is noted to be called "Hermit Purple", the same name Joseph's Stand would use.
• The flesh buds are a new vampire technique Dio uses after Enya's suggestion to control people. At first Dio make use of this, but later discover that a user with a flesh bud is weaker since their inner power is controlled. This is the reason that Noriaki Kakyoin and Polnareff were weaker in their first combat. After losing two allies to Jotaro, he decides to not use flesh bud anymore. However, Dio uses a last flesh bud to control Enya, weakening her stand in the process.
• In order to discover "heaven", Dio learned first the concept of Fate, Future and Gravity.
