Dio Brando/History
OVER HEAVEN
Background
Dio Brando was born and raised in an impoverished town. He and his family would often struggle from starvation, struggling to find money and food. His mother would often give away the little she had to those in need, such as children, the elderly, and sometimes animals. These acts of charity unfortunately would only result in mockery, as the residents of the town considered such actions to be foolish. Despite agreeing with them, Dio, being her son, could not stand people making fun of his mother; but whenever he would fight back, she would scold him, saying that he won't go to heaven relying on violence. To Dio she appeared to be obsessed with the concept of heaven, as she took every opportunity to remind him of it, which earned her a great deal of contempt from her son. [1]
The young Dio Brando respected his father significantly more than his mother since it appeared to him that his father's way of living was more honest and correct given their circumstances. Whenever Dario in his drunken frenzy would beat her, Dio saw it as a justifiable punishment for her foolishness. Whenever his father got drunk, Dio would try to be quiet and get away from him in an attempt to minimize the damage he received.[1]
At one point Dio told his mother that her way of life was impractical and that heaven does not exist. She, looking somewhat upset, explained to him that he'll understand it when he gets older, claiming heaven exists and there is a way to get there, so one must live for the purpose of doing so.[2]
Writing the Diary
About four years after escaping from his coffin, DIO begins to write his diary containing his reflections on the past, documentation of the present, and his thoughts on the future.
Dario Brando
OVER HEAVEN
According to Dio, Dario never works; anything that he "earns" is received through thieft, gambling, and extortion. At the time this earned him respect of his young son, as he thought that in that town his father's way of living was honest and correct.[1]
His wife, in spite of the contempt from her husband and son, would always attempt to steer them in the right direction only receiving abuse in return. Once, as a result of the beatings, she miscarries. Whenever Dario got drunk, Dio would try to be quiet and get away from him in an attempt to minimize the damage he received.[1]
Contrary to Dio's impression of Dario, his wife believes that he is a good man who just needs to stop drinking.
- “You can't help what's dead. What, do you think because if you have a funeral, they'll come back to life? You idiot...”—Dario Brando, OVER HEAVEN Chapter 2

Quotes
- “I wonder if my mother, who always used to tell me that, did indeed to go heaven in the end? Although she lived at the bottom rung of society, she lived with a pride that she never lost over the whole course of her life. But while that may be true, being so, especially being so, no, rather because she was so, I do not think she obtained a ticket to heaven.”—Dio Brando, OVER HEAVEN Chapter 1
- “It really does seem foolish looking back on it now, but...... I was not in my proper senses, but I thought of the way he lived as very skillful. He was always taking from the weak. And in response to necessity, or even not in response to necessity, he would beat other people. For me, a still-innocent child, one could not be "stronger".”—Dio Brando, OVER HEAVEN Chapter 1
