Dio Brando

A character from the first chapter of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

I’m done with human, JOJO! I will go beyond human being!


Profile

The ruthless boss and another protagonist of chapter 1, "Phantom Blood".

He is Jonathan Joester's nemesis and strange friend. He often uses the word "futility" in his speech.

His encounter with Jonathan started a relationship that has lasted more than a century between the Jouster family.

Incidentally, since he is referred to as "Dio" in chapter 1 and "DIO" in chapter 3 and beyond, two different tags are sometimes used to distinguish between the two.



He is handsome, intelligent, athletic, and recognized by many, but his true character is treacherous.

He is an ambitious, hardworking person who likes to be the best. He is highly driven and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. On the surface, he is perceived by everyone around him, including Jonathan, as a young man with a graceful demeanor and an honor student. However, his true nature is proud and ruthless. He is a man with a hungry spirit who is never satisfied with his current situation, no matter how privileged he may be, and is always striving for greater things. He hates his drunken father "Dario", who was a scab and used to beat his mother and himself, and has a strong complex about his scab blood, despite his self-confidence. He is a bold character who does all kinds of evil things with impunity and without remorse.


He usually acts calmly, but if he is in a superior position, he can instantly become proud or angry if things do not go his way. He has been described as "a mere mask for his calm and dandy-like demeanor. He is also overwhelmingly charismatic during his appearances.


According to the author, he is the "ultimate evil" that people are drawn to, even though he is a bad guy and they know he will kill them + they wonder how he will defeat them. He says his theme is "sympathetic evil" with a side that readers can admire a bit.


Abilities


He has the ability to be a Stone Mask vampire.

He should also have the qualities of the Stand, but has not awakened as of the first chapter.


Vaporative Freezing Technique


that allows him to freeze his opponents while rendering direct attacks with Hamon useless. While powerful, it does not kill people instantly


Space Ripper Stingy Eyes


that allows him to shoot two pressurised fluid jets from his eyes. He can also graft body parts of different beings together, an ability he then used to take Jonathan Joestar's body as his own.
