    I think what makes Dio a great villain is that even tho he had a tragic childhood, he’s still an irredeemable, petty, charismatic monster. This dude tormented the joestars for generations. That’s a whole another level of pettiness

      What strengthens it too is that we see Speedwagon, a man who grew up in similarly awful conditions, but after being shown mercy by Johnathan, was both a good man and ride or die for the Joestar family afterwards.
      Edit - also to add onto that, if Dio wasn't such a monster, he could have easily had the good life. Johnathan held no malice towards Dio even as he died, and clearly wanted a good relationship with his adoptive brother.

      I always found that funny because when they first meet Jonathan brings up that his friends call him Jojo and Dio really just settles for that nickname.
      Dio doesn't call Joseph or Jotaro by that nickname because that nickname isn't used for Joseph anymore and it gets dropped with Jotaro before the Crusaders reach Cairo. Still even if Jotaro and Joseph would have said their name was JoJo to him or of it was somehow brought up, I don't think he would use it with them. There is no personal relationship with either of them the way there was with Jonathan.

    • @sonpanchan
      @sonpanchan 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +65

      It's in the second JOJO Magazine (the winter edition), in Araki's character sheet for Dio, that Dio hated his mother for being weak (maybe he resented her for not protecting him from Dario which really Dio's mom was just as much a victim as he was, but a child's mind often doesn't see that). That said he definitely did care for her because it did piss him off when Dario tells him to sell his mother's dress for booze and part of why he mentions he despises Dario is because he overworked his mother to death.
      However caring about his mom doesn't mean he wasn't evil. Dio is very much capable of forming relationships and attachments while still being a bad guy. Pucci and Jonathan are proof that Dio can form bonds with people.
      But it's like Araki said in the 2007 Eureka magazine interview: Dio cannot give all of his love to any person, and Dio's ambitions are what's most important to him. Meaning that in the long run Dio will sacrifice someone he cares about if it means it will further his own plans and ambitions. That's what really makes him evil.

However, whenever he's on screen, he's one of the most enjoyable characters to be ever be drawn to life thanks to his eccentric, bombastic aura coupled with his despicable actions.

    I like your video, but there's a reason Dio didn't use his vampiric abilities again, Jonathan's body was rejecting and limited him of his vampire abilities. The freezing involves moisture and wouldn't work with certain stands; Space Ripper Stingy Eyes expels his bodily fluids, and that would take out the blood he needs for control of Jonathan's body. Also, Dio became so confident in the World that he wouldn't care his other abilities.

At that point the eye lasers just weren’t a viable option when the laser is likely slower than Dio’s own stand, so he’s likely to not use the attack slower than his fastest option.

    I think that another villain that was done extremely well was Pucci, a normal person who through an encounter with Dio and the death of his sister becomes as much of a monster as Dio, even if it was slow at first. We see his entire path to villainy unfold right in front of our eyes, with him not even realizing what he is doing is wrong. As we saw with his fight with Weather report and Emporio, he thinks that he is righteous and saving humanity by following Dio's path, eventually becoming like him to the point of using the same tricks that Dio would use to overcome the Joestars, and even succeeding at his goal for a short period of time, but by underestimating Emporio and fate, ends up falling in the same way that dio once did.

      Who knows, IIRC the whole Pillar Men stuff is not known to the general public and it's possible that the Speedwagon Foundation covered the whole Pillar Men events up. We know from Part 4 and Stone Ocean that Dio traveled around and kept up with current events. With Joseph being a well known real estate mogul I'm sure Dio heard of him enough for his curiosity to be piqued and do his own research on Jonathan's grandson.
      Whether he managed to find about the Pillar Men is a mystery but even then with them defeated and Stands being the new power I don't think he would care that much anyway.

    DIO is probably my favourite villain not only in Jojo but in all fiction. He is just what I look for in a villain narssasistic, powerful, uncaring to almost everyone and the way his shadow looms over the parts he’s not even in (even part 2 to a degree) shows how much influence he has over the world of Jojo he has.
    Along side that one thing I really like is how his name changes between parts 1 and 3. In part one it was Dio Brando but in part 3 it was just DIO showing off how he got a sort of god complex after his time in the ocean and dropping his last name because that part of his life doesn’t control him anymore.

There's more to it than that, but the fact that he was always a deeply self-serving person that couldn't cope when encountering serious adversity was really instrumental in building up an absolute bastard.
      I don't really feel the same way about Dio. Sure, he's an effective villain, a fantastic part 1 antagonist but I don't feel as strongly about him. This is perhaps the point, by part 3 he really was a man out of time and didn't have a personal investment against the Joestars, but rather bore a grudge against their family spirit in general. This actually works; Jotaro hated Dio, but he isn't quite up there with Griff, who literally sold out all his followers without any remorse just so he could take what Gutts had and violated it out of spite, literally the worst character that I love to hate in my mind.

    remember dio originally had a iconic mark not the joestars, until araki gave the joestars the star and never mentioned the 3 dots devils luck symbol again.

  • @TheSin-O-Pride
    @TheSin-O-Pride 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

    Fun fact: Araki said in a character panel describing Jotaro that he is not purposely disclosing his emotions, simply that he just thinks other people (those that matter) can just see it.

    Dio’s dad Dario was the early influencer of his evil! His influence stayed with Dio even while living with the Joestars who tried to make him feel as welcome as can be!
    But Dio was all about becoming dominant and on top; using any trick and anyone he could to get to the top! You can thank Daddy Dario for starting him on this path!

  • @lisboah
    @lisboah 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +60

    I think DIO's past is similar to Voldemort's in one regard: the impact that the lack of a mother figure has. J. K. Rowling said that had Tom's mother raised him, he would have turned out to be very different, and I honestly see that DIO would have been the same. Keep it in mind that DIO, for all his flaws, loved his mother, as he was infuriated that Dario not only made her work until she died, but even sold her dress in order to buy alcohol.

      @commonviewer2488 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      Diego is a Dio abandoned by his father, but not his mother. He was actually a well adjusted child until in an act of pride-filled defiance against a man, Diego's mother burns herself to feed him to instill this sense of pride/self-preservation. Losing her afterwards, Diego was filled with a hunger for more, and a rage against the cruel world.

  • @morganus1360
    @morganus1360 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +32

    If we wanna talk about depth with Dio, Over Heaven just gives such an interesting look into his psychology. As much as he claims to despise the saintly woman his mother was as he describes her, almost all of his actions are ironically dictated by his mother's influence on her in a way that it's possible he could've been a better person if not for his father. She planted the idea of "Heaven" in his head, she's the one the got him the education he used to earn money, she taught him how utterly "idiotic" people with morality like her were as he grew to resent her goodness that was often taken advantage of, and he inevitably wants to make "Heaven" a reality to prove whether or not she was correct. Even him finally killing his father was only because he sold his mother's only dress for alcohol, which removed any possibility in Dio's mind that Dario could change. It can even be said this last part is what set Dio's worldview fully in place, as the fact a part of him hoped Dario could change was the final line to the goodness his mother tried to impart.
    I like Over Heaven, if that isn't obvious.

    • @emblemblade9245

    Have you seen the anime Monster?
    The main antagonist Johan Liebert is arguably the single greatest villain in not only anime and manga but fiction in general. He definitely deserves a video of his own.

    • @lisboah
      @lisboah 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

      The scariest part of Johan is the fact that he is... human. The plot of Monster occurs in the real world: no magic, no superpowers, no other races, no evil beings that lie in the shadows and corrupt others, etc. And yet Johan is a villain that is more threatening than several villains that live in universes that have those things.

  • @TheLegendaryGrabMaster
    @TheLegendaryGrabMaster 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Kono Dio da!!
    WRyYyyyYYyyYYyyy...
    Great video man, and yes Dio has an incredible amount of depth, and most of the time people don't actually talk much about it.. Geez so many animes have just flat and one dimensional characters easily forgotten, while Dio not just affected all parts of this series, the future events, all reality of that world, but also many other stories.
    He has simple goes, but was not made poorly, is not because someone has simple to understand actions, and not the most original motivations that everything about him is empty. He has a lot going on him, on personality, charisma, powers, ideals, story, motivations, and his own view of his entire reality...
    And you made a great job explaining everything...
    I kinda hate when people say that Jojo is just a random shonen anime with weird fights and just weird looks, but nothing more, Araki put a lot of effort thought and studies to create it, it may not be the most complex story, not the most rich in world building and w/e, but this piece of work was made with much effort, care, and love.
    Is such a great show, it's not meant to be political or informative, or so profound, but not every art is made to be, doesn't mean it was made to be a generic trash like some try to belive it.
    I love Jojo's Bizarre Adventure a lot!

  • @ratt__mann9220
    @ratt__mann9220 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I feel like what makes Dio so good is his Clash with Jonathan.
    Jonathan is the only person that he knows had the resolve to try to stop him and could do so, theres a reason he emphasizes taking his body after part 1.
    He respects Jonathan, while also hating everything about him.
    That and Jonathan fed him the hands and jumped a fountain, id respect him too if that happened to me.

  • @lloydbagby8355

  • @protoman4622
    @protoman4622 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    17:12, just to explain rq. This is because something attaining to Jonathan’s body is preventing him from accessing every single ability he had as a full vampire. Dampening his strength, body manipulation, and hyper healing. After he goes full vampire in the end of part 3, he obviously gets this stuff back but decides at that point that he is much stronger than jotaro and doesn’t need eye beams or to freeze his whole body. He still lost though because he made the same mistakes he did in part one. And they are that he got too cocky and thought he was destined to win, holding back and just testing his limits only to crumble to the same bloodline a few generations down the line

  • @tristandaries1129
    @tristandaries1129 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    There actually is a canon reason why Dio doesn’t use his vampire abilities, he still didn’t have full control over Johnathan’s body, which is why his left side healed slower

  • @neonnwave1
    @neonnwave1 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +29

    I appreciate villains like Dio. Sometimes, we just need assholes who are simply assholes regardless of backstory. Too often, especially nowadays, there are attempts to make villains tragic for the sake of redemption or to feel bad for them. Almost as if the writer(s) have a thing for tragic villains and view criminals as misunderstood angels (which is either delusion, disturbing, or a fetish of theirs). Dio was never meant to be redeemed nor for us to feel sorry for. We can understand him, but he does so much harm that we want to see him stopped. A proper sympathetic villain would be like Mr. Freeze from Batman TAS. Not characters like Cinder from RWBY or The Sorceress from MotU. (Maybe sympathetic villains can be a topic for a video.)
    Kono Dio da!

    @ghostchildbonus8106 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I happen to have a weak spot for "Ryo villians" or basically villians who suround they entire life by the hero of the story. For example Ryo from Devilman, Griffith from Berserk and obliviously Dio. A Villian that has this genuine need of appriciation by the hero is really intresting especially when we see them fail in the end and get what they deserved. Altrought for Dio and Johnathan it was only one scene it still make a really big impact on the whole of the character.

  • @doswallo
    @doswallo 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Excellent video! Another thing I really like about DIO is that the sources of power he draws on, being vampirism and stands, are essentially stolen from other powerful villains in the series. The stone masks were created by Kars to evolve himself and his people into superior beings to live without fear or limitation, and DIO took that power for himself when it was never intended for a lowly human such as him. On the stand side of things, Diavolo's discovery of the stand arrows that were eventually passed to Enya and then DIO was also a stroke of fate that DIO took full advantage of. (Now that I think about it, this stroke of fate from Diavolo fits even better with DIO's character considering the three moles on his ear are a sign of "the devil's luck" shining on him!) It's just so in-character for DIO to take power from others and make it his own to conquer the world.

    Another great part of DIO's portrayal in P3 is the philosophical conversations he has with Enya, like how he believes the meaning of his life is to conquer his fears. It's a small portion of the depths of thought he had at the bottom of the ocean, but it's a heck of a turn from the screaming freak show you're used to after watching part 1. Also, KONO DIO DA!!!

    21:30 When it comes to the design of The World, Araki stated that The World was designed to look like a scuba diver.
    The tanks on his back are oxygen tanks and are connected with cables up into the mask. He looks somewhat robotic and artificial because Araki wanted Dio's stand to contrast Jotaro's: a guardian spirit, something often concidered in cultures as a natural part of our world.
    As for why a scuba diver? I'm just going to remind you that between part 1 and 3, Dio spent around 100 years locked in a coffin at the ocean floor.

    a thing that you can also see in dio wanting power were the creatures he spliced. Shown in one of scenes you put up, he spliced a cat with a bird...a bird is typically considered a free or a representation of freedom in story telling cause they can fly and go anywhere they want. Felines are considered powerful or strong due to a cats ability as a hunter: night vision, fast reflexes, sharp claws AND fangs, and for the most part, they hunt alone. put those two aspects together and its like a representation of Dio. Powerful and free.

    What makes Dio and Pucci's conversations so interesting as we know Dio is a master manipulator. That he is wildly charismatic to get so many devoted, like die for you devoted followers in a short amount of time without having to always brainwash them like he did with Kakyoin and Polnareff. We know this but in the past we rarely see it in depth. People point to Pucci and Dio has having a connection but from what we know of Dio so much of it feels like manipulation and knowing what topics that could play into Pucci's strengths come in to drive Pucci into wanting to follow/execute Dio's goals. Dio gains power by assimimilating in a sense to what people want to see him as and uses those factors to gain loyality. We had seen parts of this all the way back in 1 when he was a human. Dio knows that Pucci is religious meaning using heaven and topics already is going to appeal to aspects of his belief, he knows Pucci is smart and can talk to him in a way that has rebuttles, he believes that out of the people he has saught only Pucci could carry out the plan thus manipulating him into the same kind of person he is. Dio used Pucci, we just get a much deeper look into how Dio gains this trust and godlike devotion.

    Just a heads up (hehe, head): DIO's vampiric abilities did not disappear after his slumber, but because he was now inhabiting Jonathan's body (which was full of Hamon energy) they were severely nerfed.
