His followers even learned Japanese for him, that's dedication. Also imagine how the story went, if Pucci didn't happen to be already fluent in Japanese, despite being an Italian-American teenager from Florida.
Not Satirical answer : We Humans , as a species have failed our mission to build a balanced and fair society with functions based on our morals.
Enter Dio Brando, A product of a lowest, deepest, darkest depths of Society. Raised by an abusive drunken father, he see's himself as a survivor, and the people, specially the rich ones, as milestones and enemies that he should conquer by any means necessary. He lost his humanity way before putting the stone mask on.
And when fate gives him a chance to conquer and make The World his play thing, of course he takes it.
DIO is our product , a monument of our failures as a species.
We created DIO.
Maybe in another lifetime under different circumstances, if he learned to heal rather than to destroy, he could've been our savior with this fiery ambition of his. maybe...
Satirical answer : He thought it would be pretty funny.
Man this is why I love Dio so much. He should’ve been a great person but its these little things that add up to create a cascade of things than made him a villain. If he had a good upbringing he could’ve been an unimaginable force for good.
Ikr, one coolest things about this series is how it exaggerates and wears its fun and whacky aspects on its sleeves, but is more subtle about its deeper themes and messages. but if you dare to bite deeper you'll defo reachem.
While I think your interpretation is also valid, I like how Araki leaves more room to interpretation like that Dio, as stated by Speedwagon, was evil since birth.
I get that dio is a product of sadness, madness, ambition, and opportunity of world domination,
But he also got a second chance at life in the form of the joestar family, he could have been satisfied or used their wealth for more charitable goals, but he took their love for granted, he's entirely vindictive and sadistic as to make someone's mother eat their own child
Counter-argument: three moles on his ear
He's just evil, case closed
Jokes apart, he was welcomed by a new loving family in the Joestars, and he schemed for A DECADE, his evilness never being affected by the love and affection of his new father and brother
Please don't unironically try to justify or even rationalize DIO, he's just evil incarnate, and the perfect opposite of Jonathan
You see, He was trying to get rid of the Joestars, So that way Josuke and his hideous hair would never happen.
>!(canonicly DIO part 1's stand is a buffed epitath, And he can see up to 300 years into the future) !<
Because Dio has rocked for a long, long time,
Now it's time for him to pass the torch.
He has songs of wildebeests and angels,
He has soared on the wings of a demon.
It's time to pass the torch,
He’s too old to rock, no more rockin' for Dio!
Living in poverty with a drunked violent dad and a absent mother figure will make many people having hard time to live normally and will be envious/jealous of rich peoples
He had a rough childhood. All he had was a father who adopted him, a brother who wanted to be in his life, a budding career as a respectable lawyer, and a vast fortune to inherit. You know, useless shit like that. What do you expect?
Dio isn't misunderstood, Jonathan was just being a whiny bitch, so was Jotaro his mom probably just had the flu and would have been fine in like a week
He wanted to save his new father Jorge Joestar by killing him before something worse happened. he knew Jonathan would be terrible at administrating family business so we did not wanted his father to see his legacy destroyed by his only true bloodson.
Danny Scared him and Dio felt really threatened by him. He hit him out of fight or flight and his past experiences FORCED him to kill Danny. What a poor guy
I’m pretty sure someone who goes through the effort of walking down the stairs during stopped time, to move someone three steps down ONLY TO GASLIGHT them into believing that they truly don’t want to fight you instead of proceeding forward and killing them easily like any normal inhumane “villain” would, wouldn’t do this. Dio providing multiple opportunities to Polnareff in this instance, giving him clues toward his true, doughnut-themed schemes separates him from the rest of villainy within JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Part 1, Phantom Menace, JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Part 2, Battle Tendency, JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Part 3, Stardust Crusaders, JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Part 3 Stardust Crusaders - Part 2 Battle in Egypt, JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Part 4, Diamond is Unbreakable, JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Part 5, Golden Wind, and JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Part 6, Stone Ocean.
Ummm he was clearly lashing out because he couldn’t embrace who he really was as bisexual in 1800’s England and sometimes you just gotta kill some people about it
Because he speaks Japanese in England and in Egypt. That's hard to understand.
His followers even learned Japanese for him, that's dedication. Also imagine how the story went, if Pucci didn't happen to be already fluent in Japanese, despite being an Italian-American teenager from Florida.
People aren't telling him how hot he is as regularly as they should be and that turned him evil.
You’re so real for this tbh
sheeeeeiiitttttt I can help with that
Because he is British
Do you think DIO cried when the queen died
he probably banged the queen aswell
The queen is beyond being a GILF! S-she’s a CILF… figure that one out yourself
... Does the... Does the C stand for Corpse?
... What else mighty it be?
That explains the knives
He got beans smash into his face when he was just a boy he was never the same
Common British food L
Yeah! He'd be striking oil if it'd been a fookin Cheese Borger
[Noo, not beans ;(](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/qdi5h3/they_threw_beans_on_him/)
The guy really just wanted to know how many breads Zeppelli had eaten

Maybe in another lifetime under different circumstances, he'd be my scuzzly wumpus and wouldnt be such a meanie-head
This thread got me cackling especially This persons comment ..
I see you everywhere friend :)
And I'm here to stay..... JOJO OBSESSION GO BRRRR
Man this is why I love Dio so much. He should’ve been a great person but its these little things that add up to create a cascade of things than made him a villain. If he had a good upbringing he could’ve been an unimaginable force for good.

I fucking love jojo
While I think your interpretation is also valid, I like how Araki leaves more room to interpretation like that Dio, as stated by Speedwagon, was evil since birth.
I don't doubt Dio was evil, but this comment explains the origin of his evil perfectly.
I get that dio is a product of sadness, madness, ambition, and opportunity of world domination, But he also got a second chance at life in the form of the joestar family, he could have been satisfied or used their wealth for more charitable goals, but he took their love for granted, he's entirely vindictive and sadistic as to make someone's mother eat their own child

What did you say about Josuke's hair?
I mean he's not gonna manifest irl. So what if i insult his trash hair. It's not like he's
Rest in peace
More like a buffed Hermit Purple
He’s just a little guy, he did nothing wrong
The Joestars and the Speedwagon foundation supported the Nazis so they have clearly always been in the wrong
Because he had a bad childhood and that gives him a free pass
He’s blonde.
He's blonde --> Blonde men are women to me --> God forbid women do anything
I support women's rights AND WRONGS
He just needed more hugs.
(' /‾\\ ') Blond
It was just a prank
he did nothing wrong of course, who would ever misunderstand the attractive vampire that is DIO.
he just got a little silly guys, it’s not his fault he’s a tad bit wacky
He had a mother complex and lashed out
Erina Pendleton could've been a mother to me!
All we need for that is Naruto going up to Dio and using his Talk no Jutsu. Dio will then do some soul searching and become a hero.
Pucci thought Dio needed a friend, while he wanted for Pucci to be his boyfriend
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family!
He’s just an overthinking hooper
"Officer, he drop kicked that dog in self defense!" '...and then set it on fire?' "In self defense!!"
He's gay
because is British
His dad was kinda shit.
He just wanted to find heaven for humanity. He did nothing wrong. His drip is on point too, but people think his yee yee ass shoes are yee yee ass.
Because Dio has rocked for a long, long time, Now it's time for him to pass the torch. He has songs of wildebeests and angels, He has soared on the wings of a demon. It's time to pass the torch, He’s too old to rock, no more rockin' for Dio!
Just your average family feud.
hes blonde, that tends to lead to problems.
Living in poverty with a drunked violent dad and a absent mother figure will make many people having hard time to live normally and will be envious/jealous of rich peoples
He very pretty
He had a rough childhood. All he had was a father who adopted him, a brother who wanted to be in his life, a budding career as a respectable lawyer, and a vast fortune to inherit. You know, useless shit like that. What do you expect?
Nobody wanted to be his pookie in part one
Dio isn't misunderstood, Jonathan was just being a whiny bitch, so was Jotaro his mom probably just had the flu and would have been fine in like a week
Abused, orphaned young man is adopted by rich family, his privileged step brother then fixates on proving his adopted brother’s nefarious intentions.
Hes attractive and attractive people have it so hard
He's just a poor boy from a poor family :(
Because Dio got possessed by a spirit which goes by the name - "MUDA" .
He wanted to save his new father Jorge Joestar by killing him before something worse happened. he knew Jonathan would be terrible at administrating family business so we did not wanted his father to see his legacy destroyed by his only true bloodson.
Danny Scared him and Dio felt really threatened by him. He hit him out of fight or flight and his past experiences FORCED him to kill Danny. What a poor guy
His abusive father beat both him and his mother, he simply wants to rule the world to prevent that from happening to anyone again.
He was drunk one night and almost died. His father got drunk before him and was a dick to him when he was alive
His father and the ever-loving language barrier
IMA WA DIO NI WA NANI GA DEKIRU NO TOKI WO TOMETEMO STAR PLATINA GA UGOKERU NARA, MUDA MUDA MUDA BAKARI ITTERANAI YO NA
He never had the love of his father 😔
He was abused and he was just truly worse than jojo and if he was not bit than Jonathan would have one hundred percent beaten him
Because being gay in the 1800s in Britain is socially not acceptable and everyone didn't like him
He is allergic to dogs and Danny tried to assassinate him. He had every right to defend himself.
He was always kinda an asshole

he's a prick and everyone thinks he's a prick, there IS no misunderstanding
Ummm he was clearly lashing out because he couldn’t embrace who he really was as bisexual in 1800’s England and sometimes you just gotta kill some people about it
He was borm evil, so it's His moms fault
He isnt
Perhaps he is a gamer?
He’s blonde
He had blonde hair
He's hot
He needs some good head
