  To be honest, I always found Diavolo fascinating due to his paradoxical desires. He wants to stay anonymous, but he also wants power. Those that have power tend to draw the attention of others, and Diavolo is the head of the italian mafia. He's on a downward spiral of paranoia and covering his own tracks because of his lust for power.

  I think the design of King Crimson helps display Diavolo's paranoia. Constantly fish-eyed, grinding his teeth, perpetually in a state of distress, anger, horror, and a whole lot of other emotions that all fall under the umbrella of "Tweakin'".

  One thing I love about diavolo is his dynamic with doppio it seems like doppio genuinely loves him makes me wonder what their interactions were prior. Also the fact he ACTIVELY pursued the protagonists of his part on their adventure was so cool to me definitely a great jojo villian

  What I really like about Diavolo is his insanity, or more particularly how it&apos;s written.<br>The previous main villains always had their sides of madness (especially Kira), but Diavolo is just unnerving. Like, seriously uncomfortable. I think one of the factors is that, unlike all the previous main villains, he is not a calm person *at all*.<br>There&apos;s a video called &quot;Diavolo&apos;s angry adventure&quot; and it&apos;s not called that just for the joke : the dude seems like he is always screaming, making him feel incredibly unhinged and dangerous. Even his stand is unnvering with both its faces always baring their teeth in a rictus of mad rage.<br>I could go on, but this dude actually feel like a crazy person with too much power, like you found some weird junkie in a back alley, talking and growling to himself and ready to stab you with a rusted nail at any moment.

  Part 5 is very interesting in how it&apos;s written, and while Diavolo isn&apos;t my favorite antagonist in the series, he serves his role very well as an intimidating and oppressive force against the heroes.

  Both the japanese voice actor and american voice actor of diavolo really fit the character of diavolo. The japanese voice actor mostly remains calm and collected which fits diavolo&apos;s feux affably evil nature and his mysterious nature while his english voice actor sounds like The devil speaking which fits diavolo&apos;s whole personality: he is the devil incarnate.

  For me Diavolo&apos;s character and stand design are not only the best out of all the villains, but also one of the best in the entire series

  A lot of people saw Diavolo&apos;s Infinite Death as a bit excessive for who he was, as in he was no question an villain but wasn&apos;t the most flat out unforgiving evil thing ever conceived like Cioccolata (the Mold guy) for example, and they asked Araki about this. <br>His answer was along the lines of &quot;That was Fate Itself&apos;s ultimate punishment for someone who constantly broke it&quot; with Fate/Gravity being one of the absolute forces in Jojo&apos;s it was seen as there was no greater crime than to manipulate or alter it throughout one&apos;s entire life like Diavolo did. <br>Now why Fate would give him the ability to alter itself in the first place if it was gonna hate him for using it is another question, then again you could see King Crimson/Epitaph as an anomaly that Fate didn&apos;t plan on having exist just like Diavolo himself with how nebulous his backstory is seeming like this anomalous birth.

  Diavolo is my favorite villain in JoJo and it&apos;s so pathetic that contemporary fanfic writers seem to portray him based on the memes alone, writing him as a raving buffoon who screams &quot;Do not come close to me&quot; all the time, and can be ambushed and killed by any Stand user if they get the drop on him, including Koichi and f*cking Fugo.
