THE WORLD... it's Me Time now. (『ＴＨＥ　ＷＯＲＬＤ(ザ　ワールド)』　オレだけの時間だぜ)

”

—Steel Ball Run Chapter 90: High Voltage, Part 1

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. He released on June 16, 2023; June 14 for season pass owners. 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.

Parallel Diego's name is localized as "Diego Brando (THE WORLD)" 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 both Mounted (騎乗, Kijō) Style, which allows him to mount Parallel World Silver Bullet with the "Mounting" special action, and Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Style, which lets him fight alongside THE WORLD. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Steel Ball Run. Unlike most other Stand users in the game, 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.

Style/Specials/Etc. [Unmounted] (スタイル/特殊技/その他)

Mounting (騎乗切り替え)

ON GROUND

Parallel World Diego can summon his horse, Silver Bullet, to mount it, or dismount and send it away while summoning THE WORLD, shifting his movement and available abilities. Silver Bullet improves his basic mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. To note, Parallel Diego's Guard Gauge will not regenerate while he is Mounted unless he is in possession of all three Holy Corpse parts.

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.

THE WORLD! (『THE WORLD(ザ　ワールド)』)

x2 + ON GROUND

If Parallel Diego has a minimum of one and a half stocks of the Heart Heat Gauge, he can use his Stand's signature ability, "THE WORLD!". If the lengthy start-up animation completes, Parallel Diego will stop time for anywhere from 3.4 to 6.9 seconds depending on how full the Heart Heat Gauge is. The ability normally takes several seconds to activate and leaves Parallel Diego especially vulnerable to being interrupted, but executes drastically faster if he has a full three stocks of Heart Heat when performing it.

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.

It's useless. I'll cut you down. (無駄　切り落とす)

+ ON GROUND

DescReferences

THE WORLD slowly delivers an overhead chop that leaves the opponent crumpling, striking as a middle attack that cannot be blocked crouching. This is a command normal that can chain into Parallel Diego's skills. (Comboable)

Attack type: Middle
Damage: 25
Startup frames: 27

• 

Hmph! (フン！)

+ ON GROUND

Parallel Diego slides forward and twists to deliver a high back kick, knocking the opponent high into the air. This is a command normal that can chain into his skills. (Comboable)

Attack type: High
Damage: 15
Startup frames: 23

Holy Corpse (聖なる遺体)

// while near Corpse Part ON GROUND

Parallel Diego receives a new blessing for every Holy Corpse Part he holds, but if successfully knocked down, drops the part and loses said blessing.

1. Parallel Diego's movement speed while Unmounted is increased.
2. Parallel Diego may have two Gasoline puddles active at once via "My trial is to conquer and kill at all costs."
3. The rate at which Parallel Diego's Guard Gauge regenerates is increased, and he may also regenerate Guard Gauge while Mounted.

Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)

Activates below 30% health

This mode is automatically activated once Parallel Diego falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

Skills [Unmounted] (コマンド技)

I'll skewer you! (串刺しにしてやる)

+ // ON GROUND

Parallel Diego flings a knife that flies straight forward. The attack button inputted determines the speed of the knife, inversely affecting the skill's activation speed.

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
Startup frames: 23 / 25 / 29

My trial is to conquer and kill at all costs. (試練は『克服して必ず殺す』)

+ // ON GROUND TRAP WHEN DOWNED

DescReferences

Parallel Diego tosses an open jerrycan of gasoline into the air in an arc. Upon the jerrycan reaching the peak of its arc, the gasoline is spilled onto the floor directly below, where it is left as a puddle for a period of time.

The action of tossing the jerrycan is a melee strike that can knock the opponent into the air into a hard knockdown. The jerrycan itself can collide directly with the opponent for a small amount of damage, allowing the skill to double as an anti-air attack. The attack button inputted determines how far the jerrycan is lobbed. (Flash Cancel comboable)

Should the opponent be caught in the gasoline spillage or touch the puddle, including when they are downed, they are then doused in it or inflicted with Gasoline. This is indicated by the brownish liquid splashing off their body and an icon under their character portrait. However, if Parallel Diego is attacked by them, any gasoline puddles and the Gasoline effect will be instantly nullified. The gasoline itself may also be 'blocked', preventing affliction.

Attack type: High
Damage: 15 (melee) + 40 (jerrycan)
Startup frames: 19 / 21 / 25

• 

This is where the fun begins... (お楽しみはここからだ………)

+ // ON GROUND WHEN DOWNED

Parallel Diego jumps a short distance backward while throwing a spread of lit matches forward. The matches will rapidly damage and ignite the opponent on-hit, even if they are downed. The amount of matches thrown and Parallel Diego's backward distance is determined by the attack button inputted. (Flash Cancel comboable)

If the opponent is afflicted with Gasoline, they will violently explode upon contact with the matches. If caught in the blast directly, they take heavy damage and are launched high into the air, even if they were downed when the matches hit them (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)
Startup frames: 17 / 19 / 21

Barb wire!! (ワイヤーを張っているッ！！)

+ // ON GROUND TRAP

Using its ability, THE WORLD suddenly reappears at certain distances and sets a vertical barrier of barb wire as a short-lasting trap. Upon contact with the opponent, the wire will wrap around them, briefly binding and leaving them vulnerable to attack. The attack button inputted determines the distance forward that THE WORLD reappears to set the trap. (Comboable)

Only one barb wire trap may be active at a time, automatically disarming the previous one if the skill is performed again. However, if "THE WORLD!" is active, a second barb wire trap cannot be set while the first one is active.

Attack type: High
Damage: 25

Throw (投げ技)

Why are you here? (何しに来た？)

2 ATK buttons at close range or ( to back-throw) ON GROUND

Mounting (騎乗切り替え)

ON GROUND

Parallel Diego can summon his horse, Silver Bullet, to mount it, or dismount and send it away while summoning THE WORLD, shifting his movement and available abilities. Silver Bullet improves his basic mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. To note, Parallel Diego's Guard Gauge will not regenerate while he is Mounted unless he is in possession of all three Holy Corpse parts.

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.

The champion of this race! (レースの覇者はッ！！)

+ (costs 1 HH) ON GROUND

DescReferences

Expending a stock of Heart Heat, Parallel Diego and Silver Bullet fortify themselves, indicated by a reddish aura emanating from the horse. While active, Silver Bullet's movement speed is increased, and Parallel Diego gains a Super Armor effect for all of his Mounted normal attacks starting from activation to the end of their active portions. However, Parallel Diego cannot generate Heart Heat normally while this power is in effect.

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. Otherwise, it will last indefinitely.

• 

Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)

Activates below 30% health

This mode is automatically activated once Diego falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

Skills [Mounted] (コマンド技)

+ // ON GROUND

Parallel Diego flings a knife that flies at a downward angle. The attack button inputted determines the speed of the knife, inversely affecting the skill's activation speed.

Your sentence is death! (生かしておけない！)

+ // ON GROUND

Using its ability, THE WORLD suddenly appears and delivers an uppercut in front of Parallel Diego, launching the opponent into the air and functioning as an anti-air attack. The distance forward that THE WORLD reappears and the number of hits dealt by the attack are determined by the attack button inputted, inversely affecting the skill's activation and recovery speed. (Flash Cancel comboable)

Attack type: High
Damage: 60 / 35 + 45 (80) / 30 + 30 + 50 (110)
Startup frames: 19 / 21 / 25

I WILL win. (必ずオレが勝利する)

+ // ON GROUND

Touching his fingers to his forehead, Parallel Diego suddenly stops time and reappears at the opponent's location, regardless of range or orientation, to deliver a knife attack. This skill automatically Dismounts him from atop Silver Bullet. His subsequent reappearance and the action performed depend on the attack button inputted.

• 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
Startup frames: 33 / 29 / 18

Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack (ＨＨＡ / ＧＨＡ)

Me Time (オレだけの時間だぜ)

+ 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND

DescReferences

Observing the opponent for an opening, Parallel Diego sends THE WORLD out to deliver an uppercut. If the punch connects, the opponent is sent flying into the air as Parallel Diego stops time. He proceeds to take out a handful of knives and throw them in tandem with his Stand. The knives, totaling exactly 48, are subsequently suspended in mid-air, surrounding the opponent. Parallel Diego promptly resumes time and lets the knives strike their target while he watches.

Attack type: High
Damage: 177

• 

“

Now! This is where the fun begins... And time moves again... (フンッ お楽しみはここからだ……… 『時は動き出す』……)

”

Now I've got a plan... (「計画(プラン)」は出来た…)

+ 3 ATK Buttons, or ON GROUND

Parallel Diego's GHA can only be performed while Mounted, and will automatically summon Silver Bullet if used while Unmounted. Stating aloud that he has a plan, Diego has Silver Bullet lunge forward in a forceful full-body tackle. If it connects, the opponent is 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 from the cylinder and roughly strikes its primer against the hammer of the gun to ignite the propellant (as the gun cannot normally fire in stopped time).

Reloading the now-live bullet and lifting the revolver up to eye level, Parallel Diego carefully takes aim at the opponent's neck. He finally resumes time, allowing the shot to discharge as THE WORLD throws a devastating punch aimed at the opponent's face. A slow-motion shot of the opponent's shocked expression is shown, and the two attacks connect at the same time, completing the assault and blasting them away.

Attack type: High
Damage: 324 / 388 / 486 (depending on HH gauge)

“

Now I've got a plan... THE WORLD! Time has stopped. And time moves again... I win. (『計画(プラン)』は出来た… 「ＴＨＥ　ＷＯＲＬＤ(ザ　ワールド)」 時は止まった……… 『時は動き出す』…… オレの勝ちだ…………)

”

Assist System (アシストシステム)

Assault Assist (アサルトアシスト)

ON GROUND

A two-stock assist. Parallel Diego summons THE WORLD to deploy a wall of barbed wire a distance away from him. If the opponent touches the wall, they will be bound for a short period of time. The wall will vanish either after an opponent or projectile hits it or after a set amount of time.

Attack type: High
Damage: 25

Reversal Assist (リバーサルアシスト)

ON GROUND

A one-stock assist. Parallel Diego jumps into the enemy, punching them with THE WORLD and knocking them away. He then dismisses his Stand, strikes a pose, and jumps back off-screen.

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.
• 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.

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.

Commemorative Giveaway

In commemoration of the release of Parallel World Diego as the 4th paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Steel Ball Run badges, although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan. The badges in question contain the ASBR render images of Gyro Zeppeli, Parallel World Diego, and Johnny Joestar respectively.

The campaign started on June 16, 2023, and lasted until July 2 at 11:59pm JST. To enter the giveaway lottery, users only had to:

1. Follow the @jojo_games_jp Twitter account.
2. Retweet the tweet that announced the giveaway in the first place.

However, Twitter accounts set to private were ineligible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users ineligible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts disqualified all of the associated accounts from the giveaway.

The giveaway was directly implemented by Bandai Namco themselves, with no third party involvement, and the winners of the giveaway were notified via Twitter DMs. Said winners were announced sometime towards the end of July 2023. The gifts were only eligible for people in Japan, and were scheduled to be delivered in mid-August 2023.

• Jumping Medium Attack [Mounted]
  • Fixed so the attack will deal Chip Damage like Mounted normals are supposed to.
• "Mounting" Style

  • Fixed a bug where gasoline canisters thrown by the "My trial is to conquer and kill at all costs." skill hit more times than intended while time was stopped.
  • Removed the ability for matches thrown by "This is where the fun begins..." to hit the opponent while time is stopped.
  • Fixed a bug where Parallel Diego could use his GHA while time was stopped.

• "I'll skewer you!" skill
  • Fixed a bug where this skill would not scale below 50%.
• "My trial is to conquer and kill at all costs." skill

  • Changed so the second hit where Parallel Diego throws the canister will no longer cause a hard knockdown on hit, only launching the opponent a small amount.
• "This is where the fun begins..." skill
  • Fixed a bug where the next round would not start if certain characters were KOed by any of the hits after the first one, softlocking the game.
  • Adjusted the damage of the explosion caused by this skill hitting a Gasoline infected opponent. The first hit will deal more damage while the second will deal less.
• "Your sentence is death!" skill
  • Increased recovery time.
  • Decreased startup for and variants.
  • Increased damage.
  • Increased how high the opponent is launched.
• "Me Time" HHA
  • Adjusted the invincibility timing for the Mounted version to make it the same as the User Mode version.
  • Decreased the duration of the hitbox.
  • Fixed a bug where the opponent's position would be wrong during the HHA animation if this HHA hit at the same time as the opponent was hit by "Barb wire!".
• Assault Assist
  • Fixed a bug where when this assist hit at the same time as Giorno's HHA, opponents could be misplaced during the animation, resulting in them being right next to Giorno when the animation ended instead of on the opposite end of the stage.

2.2.0

• "I WILL win." skill
  • Adjusted the attack weight value that determines when a Clash occurs as the skill was clashing with normal attacks.
• "Your sentence is death!" skill
  • Adjusted the attack weight value that determines when a Clash occurs as the skill was clashing with normal attacks.

Trivia

• Although Parallel World Diego made his playable debut in Eyes of Heaven, his render for All-Star Battle R is not the same as his from that game, unlike many other EoH debut characters. Instead, his EoH render is given to the other Diego Brando, and Parallel Diego is given an entirely new one instead.
