Welcome to me telling you information and my thoughts on some of the oddest things in
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and my use on odd is just a cover up word, because saying
that I’m upset with this is just an understatement to be honest with you.
You got here seeing the title and thumbnail, so you know that this video is going to be
on Heaven Ascension DIO, or Dio Over Heaven.
Not Over Heaven as in the light novel, but Over Heaven as in a form achieved through
Heaven.
Before we get to that, we need context.
In JoJo, we know about Dio.
Bad kid turned vampire, vampire turned barely vampire with his friend’s body, and then
barely vampire with a time stopping stand.
In part 3, Dio didn’t go too much into his ideals, but they were noticed and made very
open to us in part 6 where we see Dio turn into this completely different person from
the guy that died in part 3.
Stone Ocean was the fight for stopping heaven, but what is heaven and how come trying to
stop it didn’t work.
What is Heaven?
You can see that in the two videos I had done about Heaven, the second one has your answer,
but the first one gives you context.
Long story short, it’s a certain form achieved through the means of these insane acts of
religion.
The religion of Dio.
I’m kind of kidding, but I’m also kind of not.
So, Dio didn’t get to achieve Heaven because of part 3, but what if he did.
Well, we get that answer in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven.
Yes, Heaven becomes this ginormous thing to the point of where we’re given a game to
show what would happen, or well what did happen technically.
Many people like to debate the canonicity of the game due it being a game, but trust
me it is very real, it’s just not real to us.
You know how Jojo has a multiverse, and alone with that it has an infinite amount of parallel
dimensions where there there’s a mass of dimensions for every action you did do, didn’t
do, someone else did, and didn’t do.
There’s a universe where you didn’t click this video, did click this video, you are
making this video, and you clicking this video, but then a shark crashes down from wherever
you are and watches the video with you because it likes JoJo.
With how many universes and dimensions there, the manga and anime universe is our main universe
out of the all the other universes.
Or maybe it’s not, maybe we aren’t the main universe and Araki will tell us all about
it in part 9, who knows.
So, there’s a universe where Dio won in part 3.
He won in part 3, and then with the help of his friend Pucci, Dio achieves his long researched
and awaited form.
So, now he goes across universes killing Joestars and owning worlds, but then he comes across
Valentine getting demolished by Infinite Spin, and he stops that for him.
Stopping the Infinite Spin lead to Valentine telling Dio about the corpse parts and then
you get the plot of Eyes of Heaven.
Now, here’s my thing.
Dio Over Heaven can rewrite reality.
Do you know what that means?
If being annoyed enough, Dio could turn you into a pair of shoes.
If not that, he could resurrect every person to have ever died and have them all individually
punch you one by one.
Not bringing people back to life as in zombies, I mean brining them back into their peak human
form.
You could get the hands from every dynasty to have ever lived in China.
Now, can you imagine if Dio Over Heaven had Love Train.
That would be game over.
Dio would become the one of the most busted characters in fiction, except for a large
amount of characters, because there are a good amount of busted characters in fiction,
but Dio would be pretty high up there.
The possibilities of what Dio could do for himself with being able to rewrite reality
seems limitless, there’s so much potential for Dio, but that’s not a thing anymore.
See, I’m a man of plot but, when it comes to certain things like this in JoJo, I can
get fed up fast.
Dio Over Heaven, was defeated by Star Platinum: Over Heaven.
Now it is difficult how to explain how I was feeling when I saw this, because this isn’t
at all how this should work, but for some reason it works like that.
Dio, the man who was trapped underwater for 90 plus years, and came back to the world
with a new mindset and new ideals.
Along with those new ideals, he went out of his way to go across the world to research
this more about the world.
Not only the things we could find on the surface, but even the underground information and rituals
that not regular person would go out of their way to find.
He had even compiled a diary on all this information (which we will never canonically know what
was in there) which could be used by anyone if they could get everything done.
So, essentially if anyone wanted to go out of their way to do it in JoJo, they could’ve
achieved Heaven and had a Heaven stand.
So, if I had seen that happening, I would’ve been totally fine.
You know what I’m not fine with?
Jotaro getting it.
Jotaro had gone out of his way for the research done, nor did he do anything around that level.
Dio having The World Over Heaven, made Jotaro look at him like, “Oh, I mean I should be
able to do that if we’re the same stand”.
Then he does it!
So, is Star Platinum not what we think it is?
Can Star Platinum just copy everything The World does because they’re similar, because
if that’s the case that’s not only terrible on account that Dio will always lose against
Jotaro in the end, that’s also terrible, because Dio had beat Jotaro.
So, even if Dio beats Jotaro, he doesn’t beat Jotaro, eventually.
I hold Heaven Ascension Dio up with the highest regard for achieving a form through research,
planning, and work.
That’s now, originally, I just gave him credit for what I had mentioned, but for having
that resulting in him attaining a reality bending ability to the point of where it beats
Gold Experience Requiem, the definitive strongest thing in JoJo.
Dio is the number one strongest thing that happens in the JoJo multiverse, but was ended
by someone that just basically stole it.
Jotaro isn’t that friend that needed to borrow your homework and made it different
to turn it in.
Jotaro is that person you barely know in class that needed a presentation to turn in, so
not only he copied yours that you worked so hard to do, he also edited it and made it
better to get a better grade.
So, when I’m asked why don’t I bring Heaven Ascension Dio into anything even though he’s
actually a thing, and canon to the multiverse?
Because I don’t like being reminded about Star Platinum Over Heaven.
It’s not like I didn’t expect Jotaro to win, I just expected he would achieve a different
form through an alternative way, but they both just have the same form and ability.
Maybe Dio just came to the wrong universe where this version of Jotaro can achieve Heaven
just because, and he should’ve went to a different universe, but I’m not the one
to debate on how they got there.
I’m here to tell you what I thought about it, and what I think that Dio is unfortunate.
I’m guessing that’s what you get when you pick the vampire life.
