Dio in Stardust Crusaders was a very puzzling villain when approaching on the surface.
Reading more into it, you realize there’s reasons why he lost and he’s not the same
Dio we know from Phantom Blood.
That’s why in this video I want to go over Dio’s potential, due to the comments I got
about Dio.
So, let’s get on into this.
Now on Dio’s loss in part 3, this was one of the outcomes I couldn’t really get behind
because it was a device of plot that had saved Jotaro.
A lot didn’t really make sense when going over it, and I had even gone about some of
it my “Solving Plot holes” video.
The only thing I could think of was “Dio went for the wrong Joestar”, because Joseph
and his hamon blood not being enough because it added on more factors that would end up
stunting Dio’s control of his body.
I believe if he had got Jotaro’s blood, or consumed a lot of people before the Stardust
Crusaders even got into Egypt then he would be fine.
That’s not the case though and we got incomplete Dio, but what is complete Dio like?
See, Dio was already a threat when he was incomplete.
Dio being complete multiplies that threat level.
The ability to stop time is a strong one, but when you have what Dio has then it’s
different.
There’s not much information on time stop, but you can make pretty easy assumptions when
it comes to the only two users.
The stronger and more complete Dio became, the longer the length of his time stop became.
He also originally trained The World to see how long he would be able to stop time for.
After enough time, his ability went up by seconds.
Focusing on when I said, “after enough time”.
The first time Dio stopped time was 6 months before the ‘Dio’s World’ arc.
I’m going to be quoting Dio on what he said, word for word.
“Now I can stop time for five seconds…
And day by day the time grows longer!”
So, it’s easy to understand what conditions that Dio needs to meet to be at his fullest
with his time stop, but how his training works is iffy.
But, what happens when you get Dio at his fullest on all points.
Well imagine part 1 Dio, and you give him the ability to stop time for about 20 seconds.
The time could be even longer than that, but I’m going to undercut him by only having
it 20.
Now part 1 Dio was terrifying, and it seemed that there was nothing really to defeat him.
The only answer to vampire still would only be hamon, since they can rebuild themselves
from almost anything in the Jojoverse.
With Dio being a full vampire, he would also have access to his original abilities like
Space Ripper Stingy Eyes or his freezing technique where he would freeze his own body parts to
freeze others.
Dio with full control of his body and ‘The World’ is a gigantic threat that no one
really wants to think about.
Now if you want to ask me, does Dio match up to Ultimate Kars?
No, but he might do some work against regular Kars.
I also got another question a couple of times.
What if Dio won in part 3?
Which means he has a chance to be full since he won.
If you guys didn’t know, this scenario has been fully shown to us.
Matter of fact, you could see in your own eyes.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven.
With Eyes of Heaven you get the whole, ‘is it even canon’ argument.
Eyes of Heaven is as canon to the main timeline as any alternate DC universe is canon to the
main one.
Which means it’s real and exists in the multiverse, but it doesn’t matter to the
main timeline since we aren’t affected by it.
So, Dio had one and he continued to win for who knows how long.
But, in the end he lost for no reason.
That’s my logic with this, because the Heaven plan was a long and difficult one to figure
out and achieve.
Then Jotaro comes out of nowhere with his Heaven ability, and everyone just has to accept
it.
In the end of it all, Dio was indeed a threat.
He was the biggest threat to Jojo, and the strongest plot pusher there ever was.
But no matter what Dio does, he’s always fated to lose.
Imagine being born to fail, that’s the case you’ll always get with Dio.
So, I hope this clears up anything with Stardust Crusaders Dio.
