Was this guy really born evil, as Speedwagon said? His Steel Ball Run Universe incarnation, who had a slightly different background, was significantly less hardcore and more anti-heroic.

Can't really take into account the stuff he did post-vampirization to determine this, as vampirization in Jojo equals instant sociopathy.

Dio did some pretty fucking horrible shit before being a vampire. Some of it can be explained by the bad father, but you can't justify some of the shit that he did.

He has reasoning behind everything he does, whether he's being a dick or not. Over Heaven is a good read if you want to find out more about his thought process, although it technically isn't canon.

>>133597108
Actually, I think that's a pretty good explanation in the case of him killing Danny. His father was the type of man that would destroy everything he loved to "put him in his place."
>>
>>133597784
I suppose I mean 'technically' in the sense that it was approved by Araki and he did illustrations for it, so the portrayal of Dio in it can't be that far off what he finds acceptable even if it wasn't written by him.
>>
Dio was always an enormous dickhead and evil, vampirism merely gave him the power to be blatant about it.

Think about how the rest of their lives would have gone had Jonathan not gone to investigate

>Dio keeps poisoning George, who eventually dies

>Joseph himself is killed either by the same poison or other circumstances.

>>133597786
Dario lacked the subtlety in his cruelty that Dio did. Dario could lie, or yell and beat his son/wife, but something like covertly killing someone's dog would be beyond his capabilities.

That was the scary part about Dio, he had no sense of gratitude or remorse. George took him in and gave him a great life, but he doesn't hesitate to kill George to get his hands on fortune.
>>
>>133597860
Not him, but so long as he gave it his blessing, that counts as canon in my book.

What? I'm not saying it is canon, but it's the closest thing to canon we'll get regarding Dio's thought process outside of the manga itself.
>>
>>133597108
Yeah killing and torturing animals are usually signs of psychopaths
>>
>>133597952
It's not about what I want to be canon. If I could decide what is or isn't canon, then it wouldn't be canon. It'd be fanwank.
Canon is what the source material gives you.
The point is that Araki's approval of it makes it semi-official as source material. The borders for canon are blurred, but once you've got a definition you better stick with it and don't bend the rules whenever you don't like something.

I do bend the rules of my head-canon at times, when I feel like the canon is logically unsound. But I would never try to make a claim that what I'm thinking up has any official basis whatsoever.

He was probably born a sociopath/psychopath, but not the kind of guy that murders because reasons, more like the type that just cares about himself and doesn't give two shits about their feelings but not someone dangerous or someone who would physically hurt others unless provoked. His father probably ruined him even further turning waking the "sleeping" psycho in him. If he would've been born rich instead of poor he would probably be a rich asshole but not someone who burned dogs to death and the like.

I'm pretty sure he loved his mother and genuinely cared for her. He also seems to develop a twisted form of love towards Jonathan and respects strong people in general.

He's actually a better person in Part 3, we just don't see much of it.
>>
>>133597051

Dio's father was a bit of a bastard, and he raised Dio to be an even more selfish bastard and crushed any hint of kindness Dio might have otherwise developed.

Then Dio murdered his father.

Anime only fags are gonna forever be at odds

>>133597138

He got down on the floor and turned into a dinosaur, that's pretty anti-heroic.
>>
>>133597051
One of the things that make Dio one of my favourite villains is that he is intelligent enough to know that what he's doing is wrong, and was given the opportunity to turn his life around, but he chooses to be evil instead. As others have said, you can put some of the blame on his shit childhood, but it's not something he ever let control his life.

That was the same poison he used to attempt to kill jojo's father.

Dio wasn't born evil but he really grew into a piece of shit of a person. Instead of trying to become a better person, he only focused in the bad things even after his luck changed and was received into a good house.

Had Jonathan been in his place, he surely would've overcome the trials of a shitty life and become a good person anyways.

I'm aware it's got a convenient excuse for being overly wacky and random, but what puzzles me is why Araki thought it would be a good idea at all.

How is the audience meant to react to the moment Bruno announces that light weakness? Keep in mind that this is the second biggest gotcha moment of the final struggle of the whole part.
>>
>>133602080
I thought it made sense, obviously if the shadow gets behind chariot all the time there has to be a light source behind you only you can interact with.
>>
Come to think of it, Dio only goes by his first name in Part 3. Maybe he felt disgusted with the Brando family and wished to discard it. Same with his body too, he displays Jonathan's body all the time, while his Brando body was covered up most of the time.
>>
>>133602339
You might have not noticed that it is also always capitalized as DIO. He rejected his humanity long ago, hated his father in life and is now more than just a boy named Dio Brando. He is now DIO.
>>
>>133597268
Dio wanted to break Jonathan by taking everything he loved away from him. That way, Jonathan wouldn't even struggle for the fortune later on. Danny was Jonathan's only remaining friend.

>>133602110
We're on different wavelengths here.

Of course the character in the manga was given some kind of a reasoning to figure it out, but for the reader it's an anticlimax that comes out of nowhere. The cast had been fucking around with it for so many chapters at that point and then suddenly it's just not there anymore. Why does it put a light behind your back in the first place other than so it can have a weakness? Can you even see the shadows before Araki decides it's time to kill it off?
>>
>>133602631
>Why does it put a light behind your back in the first place other than so it can have a weakness?
because stands are automatically balanced the same way strong stands have shitty range, and yeah you can see the shadows before

if you want a story with realistic stands that make sense and actually get explained in detail you better read Worm
>>
>>133602658
Not that guy, but I thought Worm was really mediocre after the first timeskip and didn't pick up steam until the finale after that.
>>
>>133597051
Dio Brando was born with the makings of a sociopath/serial killer. Being raised poor as shit by an alcoholic asshole of a dad really brought it out of him, and also gave him some issues with classism. (That's the only logical reason I can think why he hated the Joestars so much, he just straight didn't respect those with privileged lives and blamed them for why his was so shitty.)

GER is balanced in the sense that it doesn't prevent Giorno from dying to natural causes like a building collapsing on him or cancer. Think of it as the curse of Cain, basically anyone who tries to murder him dies horribly, but he's just as weak and human to all other things regardless.
>>
>>133602832
I don't really see it as an argument, it's just me stating about my opinion on the stand.

People blame all their issues with part 5's ending on GER and King Crimson, but personally I think the concept of the race for the arrow could have worked out in a much more interesting way if SCR had been handled better.
>>
>>133602873
SCR does have an exploitable weakness, but it still has one of the strongest Stand abilities, the problem is its lack of intelligence and that it's basically automatic, otherwise it could have just put all the Stand users to sleep again.

I didn't really think it made DIO a saint. It's been a little bit since I read this, but it admits that DIO is absolutely evil and his upbringing definitely doesn't justify what he does.

How does information get distorted so fast here? A single one of them was told on social media that there was a time-skipping fictional thing named after the band and he replied that time skipping is an interesting concept and something he'd like to be able to do.

This reminds me of when Araki met one of his idols Clint Eastwood and a bunch of idiots said it happened because Clint was a Jojo fan.

Actually, having seen the post, they went pretty in depth with explaining Jojo to him, and the band member thought it was cool and he'd look up more stuff about it when he was in Japan.
>>
>>133609304
This is where I'll draw the line.
I wouldn't be hyped for any other intro change based on a main villain's chronokinetic ability. This happened once, in the DIO vs Jotaro fights, because
>The World's power to stop time is more iconic to the series than Bites The Dust, King Crimson or Made In Heaven
>it's very easy to just create a moment of pause in the intro without ruining the whole intro (including the song itself), unlike exploding suddenly and going back a few seconds, suddenly cutting off to a few seconds later, or making the whole intro play faster and faster
Even if you disregard what I wrote in greentext, I would advise against strongly expecting another intro interference in the future arcs.
Remember how everyone was hyped that Sono Chi No Sadame/STAND PROUD would start playing when DIO's head split open, just because it had in the first season when Kars was blown to space, and in the end they just got disappointed and upset when it didn't? We could very well follow the same road with daydreams like these.

>>133610191
>another Jotaro vs DIO intro
I'm talking about the EDs yah dunce, which change each season and have lead ins like Roundabout did. Nothing to do with the intros.
>>
The point is that Dio was given every opportunity to be a good man by the Joestar family, and he still chose to be evil. What else can you call that except an evil nature?
>>

He didn't do it because he was bored or wanted to see the dog suffer. Intent is important here because he's not a psychopath without it. The way I see it Dio was just plain evil because he was Araki's first villain where as Kira was the psychopath and Diavolo the sociopath because by then Araki was a better writer.

Whoops, my bad for partially skimming.

But now that you mention it, while that would be pretty awesome, I doubt David Productions would choose something that recent for an ED, especially since Araki is the one giving all the suggestions for EDs.

Psychopaths are born without empathy because of something being wrong with their heads. Sociopaths act the same way but they were once normal until something traumatized them.

I think Chariot Requiem is meant to be the stand equivalent to Cthulhu.
The fucker is just bizarre, even by stand standards. Its existence is purely driven by the arrow, and the arrow is either nonsentient, or sentient in a way beyond our understanding. Basically Chariot Requiem is totally alien, and its mutagenic abilities make it even more alien.

My head canon is that Chariot Requiem powers itself with other people's souls, ie, the light behind their head. It does this because it has no user. If Polnareff was alive and controlled Chariot Requiem, that particular weakness wouldnt exist.
Or worse, that weakness would be behind Polnareff's own head.
Actually might work great. A totally invincible stand that can only be harmed by attacking a very small spot behind the user.
