All-Star Battle R ★ Dio Brando
Dio Brando (ディオ・ブランドー, Dio Burandō) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1]
Although his moveset remains fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, a few tweaks have been made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought along.
As the voice of Dio since the Phantom Blood anime, Takehito Koyasu reprises his role for All-Star Battle R. Like with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Dio were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Dio Brando has 800 health and uses the Vampirism (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Phantom Blood.

Dialogue
Taunt Lines Victory Lines Tag LinesSpecial Interactions
- When Dio uses his Heart Heat Attack, Space Ripper Stingy Eyes, to K.O. Jonathan Joestar, Jonathan attempts to block the piercing attack with his hands, like he does at the end of Phantom Blood.[5]
- The Situation Finish for the Dio's Castle stage recreates the scene in which Dio is sent flying off the castle's balcony by Jonathan in Phantom Blood.[6]
- Giorno Giovanna's Heart Heat Attack against Jonathan mimicks the boxing match from Phantom Blood in which Dio sticks his thumb into Jonathan's eye.[7]
- Like all vampires and Pillar Men in ASBR, Dio will burn up in the sunlight of the Situation Finish for the DIO's Mansion stage.
Dialogue
Outside of the All-Star Battle Mode, Dio has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.
Match Entrance- “With the setting of the sun, your life is over!”—Dio
- “Come, master of curses! Your life will heal my wound quite nicely!”—Dio
- “You... You're that maggot Speedwagon, from the Joestar residence...”—Dio“I knew you reeked! You smell worse than vomit! You've been evil since you drew your first breath!”
- “The world needs only one emperor!”—Dio Brando (Player 2)“How dare you take my name!”—Dio Brando (Player 1)
- “A Stand, you say? Interesting. Try it on me!”—Dio Brando
Victory- “I knew you didn't have it in you, JoJo!”—Dio
- “I have no reason to remain in this place!”—Dio
- “How dare you make me waste time on trash like you...”—Dio“Mr. Joestar shouldn't have to dirty his hands here. I'm perfectly capable of cleaning up a puke stain like you!”
- “I am invincible; an immortal! I can rule this world!”—Dio Brando (Player 1)“You'll be the one facing the oblivion of death!”—Dio Brando (Player 2)
- “Your Stand was surprising at first, but now I know it's nothing to fear!”—Dio Brando

Music
Dio's theme is 
You weakling! (貧弱貧弱ゥ～～ッ！！, Hinjaku hinjaku~~!!), and can be unlocked in-game by landing the "Frozen in your tracks!" skill in the All-Star Battle Mode's Dio vs DIO Extra Battle.
Its name is in reference to Dio saying the line "Weakling, weakling!" in Chapter 38 of Phantom Blood after freezing Dire to stop his Thunder Cross Split Attack.
