Dario Brando's Letter
A letter sent by Dario Brando to George Joestar asking him to take care of his son Dio. It was then put into a box in the library of the Joestar Mansion and forgotten, but when Jonathan discovered it by accident, he saw that Dario was suffering the same symptoms as the then sick George before his death. It led Jojo to suspect Dio of having poisoned his father and poisoning George as well.
The address on the letter is changed from "225 Baker Street East, Liverpool" to "221B Baker Street, Liverpool" in the anime, making it a Sherlock Holmes reference.
Oriental Poison
A slow poison from Asia sold by Wang Chan to Dio. Dio Brando used that poison to kill his own father and disguise his murder as sickness, and planned to do the same with George Joestar. When Jonathan found Wang Chan, it instead incriminated Dio.

Dio's Coffin
Dio used a reinforced and boobytrapped coffin carved with his name in golden capital letters as a shelter on the boat which transported Jonathan and Erina to America. Though he planned to use it to shelter himself with Jonathan's body, it became a makeshift lifeboat for Erina, her child, and the infant Lisa Lisa when the boat exploded and sunk.
