  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

  The fact that Dio only ever calls Jonathan <b>Jojo</b> says a lot about how much he respected him.

  It&apos;s hilarious to me that DIO gave Giorno&apos;s mom a signed photo of himself like he was an idol.

  Something about his backstory I don&apos;t feel is brought up enough is there was one thing that showed there was a small spark of goodness in Dio...his mother. Dio makes it pretty clear above all he HATED his father for working his Mother to death, indicating that his Mother was likely the only person in the entire world Dio genuinely loved

  When your charisma stands out in jojo, where there&apos;s nothing but charismatic characters, you know Dio&apos;s something special.

  To me, Dio is on par with Frieza on how to do irredeemable villains perfectly. He has such a massive presence, not only when he&apos;s on screen, but for the whole frnachise since without his actions, the series wouldn&apos;t be what it is today. However, whenever he&apos;s on screen, he&apos;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.

  What makes me love DIO is that he is one of the few villians who bite matched his bark. He is so arrogant and prideful that it is admirable.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMXxu4ehu98&amp;t=1605">26:45</a> <br>DIO embraced the culture he found himself in, you say?<br><br>I suppose that would make him a man of The World.

  What I love about Dio is that he&apos;s the sort of villain that at first glance looks to be incredibly basic, only for him to have some of the most character nuance within the Jjba series.<br><br>He&apos;s exceptionally cunning and shrewd, but hes also dramatic and boisterous. He enjoys showing off his abilities, and enjoys worship and praise, but couldnt give two shits about his followers except for Hol Horse who attempted to kill him, and Pucci who disregarded him when they first met. The only person he ever respected as an equal was Jonathan, the same man who he hated so much that he ruined his childhood. He despises the Jostars but didnt bother eliminating them himself until they literally showed up at his doorstep. <br><br>He is such a wonderfully fun character. I thank Araki everyday for writing such an amazing villain.

  While visiting my mom, we binged Jojo. After we finished everything, she said this: &quot;Dio is what happens if you gave a Hood dude the charisma of an dictator, the evil of a Shakespearean villian and the mind and cunning of a chess player.&quot;
