All-Star Battle R ★ Parallel World Diego
Template:Parallel World Diego Games Navbox
Parallel World Diego (並行世界から来たディエゴ, Heikō Sekai kara Kita Diego), along with THE WORLD, was confirmed for All-Star Battle R as the fourth paid DLC character on May 31, 2023.[1] He is slated for release on June 16, 2023, or June 14 for season pass owners.[2] Like the first three paid DLC characters, he is included in the game's first season pass, and consequently the Digital Deluxe Edition and Ultimate Edition as well.[1]
As in Eyes of Heaven, Parallel Diego's name is localized as "Alternate World Diego" in the English localization of All-Star Battle R. Furthermore, THE WORLD's name is fully capitalized, differentiating it from DIO's version of The World.
His moveset is similar to that of his Eyes of Heaven appearance, with modifications made and new aspects added to better fit in with All-Star Battle R's different gameplay style.
As the voice actor for Parallel World Diego, among other iterations of Dio Brando, since Eyes of Heaven, Takehito Koyasu reprises his role in All-Star Battle R as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voice lines for Parallel World Diego were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Parallel World Diego has 920 health and uses the both the Mounted (騎乗, Kijō) and Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Styles, fighting foes with Silver Bullet and THE WORLD. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Steel Ball Run. Unlike most other characters that use the Stand Battle Style, Parallel World Diego cannot manually summon and dismiss his Stand; instead, the Stand remains active as long as the user is dismounted, and appears instantaneously for any attacks that utilize it while the user is mounted.
Three parts of the Holy Corpse will slowly appear scattered across the stage when Parallel World Diego is a combatant. He can pick up these pieces to receive blessings that boost his performance in combat. If Parallel World Diego is pitted against Johnny Joestar, Gyro Zeppeli, Diego Brando, Funny Valentine, or another Parallel World Diego, both players will have to fight over the three Corpse Parts, as only one set will appear.

If the Style input () is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Parallel Diego mounts Silver Bullet much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Diego's unmounted combo into a mounted one.
All animations, including the HHG flame and the countdown on the battle timer, will temporarily cease, and the opponent is frozen in place and completely unable to act. Damage dealt to the opponent that is not a Throw or HHA is reduced, but the opponent is otherwise absolutely vulnerable. When the ability ends and time resumes, the opponent will suffer all damage dealt to them at once.
Any projectiles unleashed through Parallel Diego's various abilities will hang in the air (knives thrown via "I'll skewer you!", the jerrycan tossed via "My trial is to conquer and kill at all costs.", and the lit matches thrown via "This is where the fun begins..."), notably doing more damage if they hit the opponent after time resumes than if they were to have connected immediately. Parallel Diego may use his HHA with impunity if he has enough Heart Heat to do so. He is even capable of hitting opponents that were down when the ability was activated, 'resetting' them into a standing position once hit. The ability is best used with normal attacks in mind in order to deal the most damage within the stopped time, as they execute quickly and their damage reduction within stopped time is insubstantial.
If Parallel Diego's Throw or HHA is used, time will immediately resume with the HHG drained to zero; As his GHA requires Silver Bullet, it is unavailable in stopped time.
If fighting against DIO or either version of Jotaro, Parallel Diego can use this ability to begin moving within the opposing fighter's stopped time, and may even outlast his opponent if their Heart Heat depletes before his.
Attack type: Middle
Damage: 25
Attack type: High
Damage: 15
- Parallel Diego's movement speed while Unmounted is increased.
- Parallel Diego may have two Gasoline puddles active at once via "My trial is to conquer and kill at all costs."
- The rate at which Parallel Diego's Guard Gauge regenerates is increased, and he may also regenerate Guard Gauge while Mounted.
This skill is special-cancelable, allowing Parallel Diego to chain into other skills. This also includes into itself, granting the ability to continuously throw knives at a rapid rate.
Attack type: High
Damage: 30
The action of tossing the jerrycan is a melee strike that can knock the opponent into the air. The jerrycan itself can collide directly with the opponent for a small amount of damage while launching them slightly, allowing the skill to function as an anti-air attack. The attack button inputted determines how far the jerrycan is lobbed. (Flash Cancel comboable)
If the opponent is caught under the gasoline spillage or steps in the puddle, they are then doused in it, inflicted with Gasoline. This is indicated by the brownish liquid splashing off their body and an icon under their character portrait. This is true even if they are downed when the gasoline makes contact. However, if Parallel Diego is attacked by them, any gasoline puddles and the Gasoline effect will be nullified and disappear prematurely. The gasoline itself may also be 'blocked', preventing affliction.
Attack type: High
Damage: 15 (melee) + 40 (jerrycan)
If the opponent is afflicted with Gasoline, they will violently explode upon contact with the matches. If they are caught in the blast directly, even if they are downed when the matches hit them, they take heavy damage and are launched high into the air (Comboable). If the explosion is guarded, it will inflict an extreme amount of Guard Gauge damage equal to roughly 80% of the whole gauge, making this the highest Guard-damaging attack in the game. However, Parallel Diego may also be caught in the gasoline explosion if he is too close, causing him to flinch while taking a moderate amount of damage.
To note, only this skill will cause a Gasolined opponent to explode. Other fire-based sources such as various Assault Assists or certain characters' own self-inflicted damage will not trigger the explosion nor interact with the Gasoline effect in any way.
Attack type: High
Damage: 45 (max) / 55 (max) / 75 (max) / 120 (Gasoline explosion)
If "THE WORLD!" is active, a second barb wire trap cannot be set once the first one is placed.

If the Style input () is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Parallel Diego mounts Silver Bullet much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Diego's unmounted combo into a mounted one.
This ability will deactivate upon Parallel Diego being Dismounted (either manually or by the opponent's attacks), initiating his HHA or GHA, or if it is inputted a second time, signified by him petting Silver Bullet to calm it down.
This skill is special-cancelable, allowing Parallel Diego to chain into other skills. This also includes into itself, granting the ability to continuously throw knives at a rapid rate.

- Light (): He reappears directly in front of the opponent and stabs forward with the knife at a low angle, causing them to crumple to the ground. This variation is a low attack that cannot be blocked standing. (Comboable)
- Medium (): He reappears directly above the opponent in a descending slash to knock them down, hard enough for them to bounce. This variation is a middle attack that cannot be blocked crouching. (Comboable)
- Heavy (): The skill instead becomes a feint, with Parallel Diego flashing but not actually moving from his spot atop Silver Bullet, and able to act instantly.
Attack type: Low / Middle
Damage: 65 / 80
Attack type: High
Damage: 177
Stating aloud that he has a plan, Diego has Silver Bullet lunge forward in a forceful full-body tackle. If it connects, the opponent knocked back as Parallel Diego quickly jumps to the ground, summons THE WORLD, and stops time. Pulling out a revolver while his Stand advances toward the frozen opponent, he takes a bullet and roughly jams it against the hammer of the gun to imbue extra kinetic power into it. Loading the bullet and lifting the revolver up to eye level, he carefully takes aim at the opponent's head. Time resumes just as he fires the empowered shot and THE WORLD throws a hefty punch aimed at their face. A slow-motion shot of the opponent's shocked expression is shown, and the two attacks connect at the exact same time, completing the assault by blasting the opponent away.

Special Interactions
- When hit by Giorno Giovanna's Heart Heat Attack, Parallel World Diego's face contorts in pain, referencing his expression as he says his final desperate words.[4]
- When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Parallel World Diego bends over and crosses his arms, as he does when forcing himself upon Lucy Steel.[4]
Dialogue
Outside of All-Star Battle Mode, Parallel World Diego has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters. Notably, new dialogue was not recorded for Johnny Joestar and Funny Valentine, and they lack unique victory voice lines as well.
- “THE WORLD... it's Me Time now. (『
THE WORLD 』オレだけの時間だぜ)”—Default dialogue - “M-Me again? Must be the President... (オレ、だと!? ……クソ、大統領の仕業だな)”—Parallel World Diego, Player 1“I'm the only one who's going to get the corpse! (遺体を手にするのはオレ一人で十分だ!)”—Parallel World Diego, Player 2
- “Your face... ridiculous. Are you trying to look like a monkey? (その顔は……気に入らんなぁ。猿真似のつもりか?)”“That ominous aura... Are you another me the President called up? (この禍々しい感じ……こいつも大統領が連れて来たオレ……なのか!?)”—Parallel World Diego
- “A pretty face like that is asking to get messed up, huh? Hee hee... (スカした野郎を見てると、ちょぴっとイジってやりたくなるぜ! ケケケ)”“You're a real talker, huh? (ずいぶんと、騒がしいやつが出てきたな……)”—Parallel World Diego

THE WORLD 』だと? ククク、面白い…… おまえの力、このDIOが試してやろう!)”—DIO“DIO... and a Stand with the same power as mine? What's going on here? (DIO!? それに、同じ能力のスタンド……? どうなっているんだ……!?)”—Parallel World Diego - “Who are you? You'd better not get in my way. Only one person's gonna get that corpse, and it's Dio! (なんだ、おまえ? 邪魔するなら容赦しないぜ…… 『遺体』を手に入れるのはこのDioだ!)”—Parallel World Diego
- “Where did that knife come from? Something's not right here... He has a strange power. (ナイフはどこから現れた……! 妙だぞ……こいつの能力、なにかある)”“Ooh, you're sharp. But it'll be over soon... so soon, you won't even know it! (ほお、勘のいいやつだ。 だがすぐに終わらせてやる。気づく間もなくな!)”—Parallel World Diego
- “The Johnny Joestar of this world is my greatest trial. (この世界のジョニィ・ジョースターはオレにとって『最大の試練』だ)”—Parallel World Diego“In a situation like this, I wish I could say something all tough and cool like Gyro. (この状況…ジャイロのように……タフなセリフを吐きたい)”

-
“That's the Stand you used to bring me here? Pretty wild. (そのスタンドでオレをここに連れて来たわけか。 面白い……)”—Parallel World Diego
- “I'll pass any trial! I'll even overcome myself! (試練ならば乗り越えるまで! オレはオレ自身を越えてやる)”—Parallel World Diego, Player 1“You're the one who's going to cease to exist. I'm this world's Dio now! (消滅するのはおまえのほうだ……
この世界のDioはこのオレだ !)”—Parallel World Diego, Player 2 - “That was impressive, but meaningless when time is stopped. (素晴らしい力だが、時を止めてしまえば無力だ)”—Parallel World Diego“Interesting... Your power could be very useful. Serve me and I'll let you live. (ほお……なかなか面白い力を持っているなおれの下僕となるなら生かしておいてやろう)”
- “You... Your name is Joestar? Do you know Johnny Joestar? (おまえも……『ジョースター』なのか? あの『ジョニィ・ジョースター』と何か関係があるのか?)”—Parallel World Diego“When a guy like you goes right into a well-laid trap, there's no other feeling like it! (おまえみたいなやつをキチっと策にはめて勝つのが、ヒジョーに楽しいってわけよ!)”
- “I don't follow anyone, and I don't work in groups. All I need is to stand at the top alone! (オレは誰にも従わないし、誰とも群れないぜ。たったひとりで頂点を取ってやる!)”—Parallel World Diego“Unfortunately for you, my forces have no need for cavalry! (残念だったな! おれの部隊に、馬は必要ないのだァーーー!!)”
- “If this is another trial to get the corpse, I'll crush it, no questions asked! (これも『遺体』を手に入れるための試練なら、ひねり潰してやるだけだ……!)”—Parallel World Diego“5 seconds is the longest you can stop time? Neither your power, your strength, nor your speed are worthy of me, DIO, and The World! (止められるのはせいぜい5秒程度か? 能力も! パワーもスピードも! このDIOの『
世界 』の足元にも及ばん!)”—DIO - “Just one thing: You've got the wrong guy. Though I didn't really expect you to understand. (最後にひとつ教えてやる。あんた人違いしてるぜ。 もっとも、そのザマじゃあ理解できないだろうがな)”—Parallel World Diego“Now spill it. Tell me how to kill my dad. DIO would know for sure! (さあ、喋ってもらおうか、おやじを殺す方法を! きさまが『DIO』なら知っているはずだ!)”
- “Being careful is useless against me. I'm the only one who can move in stopped time. (警戒したところで無駄だぜ? 止まった時の中を動けるのはおれだけだ)”—Parallel World Diego“It's a dangerous power, until you understand how it works. Metallic can take him out from outside his range. (厄介な能力だが、カラクリがわかれば他愛もない…… 『メタリカ』なら射程外から仕留められる)”
- “I win! You've been dismounted from your horse... You can't use the Infinite Spin! (オレの勝ちだ! おまえは『
馬から下りた 』……『無限の回転』はもう無い !)”—Parallel World Diego, against Johnny Joestar - “I'm this world's Dio now. So feel free to cease to exist with no regrets. (いまからオレがこの世界のDioだ。 おまえは安心して消滅していいぜ)”—Parallel World Diego
- “I don't care about your last words, but I'd be happy to rule for you. (あんたの遺言を聞き届けるつもりはないが、支配者にはなってやるよ)”—Parallel World Diego, against Funny Valentine

Parallel World Diego's theme is Me Time (オレだけの時間だぜ, Ore Dake no Jikan daze), and and is automatically unlocked when purchasing Parallel World Diego's DLC.
Its name is a reference to some of the first words he says to Johnny Joestar when he finally reveals himself in Chapter 90 of Steel Ball Run.
