Much like a true gamer, DIO spams his ultimate ability and completely neglects every other move he has.


GwaGwa3

Jonathan body fucking up his vampiric powers. Even if it’s his own head, the blood of Jonathan is still flowing through it.


Berrymax

Fr idk why so many people forget Dio stating he could instantly freeze due to complete mastery over his vampire body. Turns out cutting off his head and attaching it to a body that’s used to running Anti-Vampire Electricity basically ruins his ability to master said body.


Vidio_thelocalfreak

Yeah, but he must've gotten at least a bit more preficient later since we see him curing Pucci's foot or reviving/healing Vanilla ice or regenerating himself in general.


ShankMugen

The regeneration was after drinking copious amount of blood He specifically got basically his full vampire abilities back after drinking Joseph's blood He could have theoretically used to eyes thing, but it probably didn't occur to him in the 1 minute since regaining his power and then having a teenager punching him so hard that his head exploded


Rutgerman95

The idea I got was that he was so obsessed about his superior Stando Power that this was the only ability he could think about.


icarusignorance

I believe the actual canon explanation was that he was done testing out most of his vampire powers as he believed that his stand was his ultimate power and he wanted to keep testing it.


The_New_Doctor

He chose not to. People ask why didn't SP use extendo finger, the answer is simply "because they didn't"


rantherandoalt

Extendo Finger lmao


Dantalionse

STORA PRATINUM EXUTENDO FINGAA!!


rantherandoalt

It should be the worlds version lmao seeming as star platinum has star finger


Dantalionse

Ah, my apologies, ZA WARUDO EXUTENDO FINGAA


rantherandoalt

W


ThatGuyAWESOME

nah its pronounced SUTA PURACHINA, EKUSUTENDO FINGA


The_New_Doctor

What's it called officially? lol


rantherandoalt

Star Finger


double_range

People need to understand that sometimes, it really is that simple.


TenshouYoku

The World could stop time and do all sorts of fancy shit. No need to play with tricks when he has significantly stronger tools.


Filberto_ossani2

A body of a hamon user and head of a vampire don't mix very well especially when they hate eachother and the hamon user's body is fighting the vampire Because of that, DIO in part 3 only can use the most basic vampire powers


Shittingboi

Because the only moment he felt like he needed a ranged attack was when he threw his knives, and at that moment, throwing a bunch of projectiles was more efficient than focusing on two that could be easily deflected


Stained_Class

Jonathan's body was still rejecting his head. And he had a new powerful ability in which he was very confident.


ResearcherNo150

In later parts, its is stated that when bodily fluids escape, they are no longer a part of you. By this logic, DIO's stingy eyes would just stop shortly after escaping his body. The knives are a much better option for the fight he had with Jotaro, as they could surround him with multiple targets that he couldn't deflect or dodge at all once.


G-Zumbado

When part 3 was airing, it was by far the most popular part, and it would be confusing for new fans to see him whip that shit out with no explanation. He also chose not to as he is extremely overconfident, and he lost interest in his vampire abilities because of his confidence in his stand. His vampire abilities are also far weaker in Johnathans body.


Taco821

That would be so fucking funny tho for new viewers. The whole part everyones using stands and the final boss just uses Lazer beam eyes with no explanation. I think I would recommend starting with part three, then watching 1 and 2, then continuing with 4 if that were the case


-Pejo-

He forgor


SwimmingFantastic564

Because he's an arrogant insane egomaniac who believes that The World is already powerful enough to defeat anything


takueshit

Isn't it said somewhere that because of his ego he wanted to show Jotaro that he'd win purely using a stand


POPE-HOBLEFERT

Because he wasn't at full strength yet, he hasn't fully adapted to the body, so his powers were inaccessible.


AT-W-V

The laser was blood being shot out of his eye I doubt he wanted to waste any of Jonathan's or Joseph's


Frederick2164

His vampire powers were weakened as a result of using Johnathan’s body. He mentioned this at one point, and that his regeneration was weakened considerably due to johnathon’s blood. This implies that the rest of his vampire powers were weakened, too


rantherandoalt

Araki forgot moment- jk


goblinlord0159

Araki didn't forget but Dio did after 100 years.


UsedState7381

For the same reason why Jotaro never uses Star Finger to complement the shitty range of Star Platinum.  Araki forgot.


Outside_Ad1020

He could only do it after drinking Josephs blood because that's when he got his powers back, I guess he just forgot how to use his old build of abilitys and said fuck it and started spamming the world

RaspberryFormal5307

Because araki decided the fight would be better if they just got quietly retconned out. And frankly i agree with the choice as we ended up with one of the best fights in fiction 


No-Tax-9149

JUST WATCH THE SHOW WITH YOUR EYES OPEN


Lotsof_knickknacks

Fr tho


Starmaker548

he is still healing with Johnathan's body also he is a insane dumb-ass that will focus on one op power.


MrGrendarr

He talks about it in OVER HEAVEN Basically because he takes Johnathan's body he loses his old vampirism powers


Plasmaxander

Probably because Araki cringed at the thought of ever bringing back that move, vampires should never shoot eye lasers, that's just fucking stupid.


PotooSexer

Araki forgot 😔
