[Introduction] Since I want to build a portfolio of things
I want to get animated on the channel, I’m going to bring this idea to the table because
it’s one that many things that I’ll get asked to do.
What if Dio won?
Dio had many battles throughout his life, but we’ll be going about the most important
ones.
Consider subscribing if you’ve been on the channel.
[Scenario 1] Now, for the first scenario, we’re going
to be going to the battle where Jonathan and Dio had fought.
The mindset that Dio had during this fight is a more cynical and violent one, to where
he essentially just wanted to rule the world.
His more nuanced wants don’t happen yet in this scenario as he will not be underwater
reflecting on his approach to the world.
So, Dio wins!
The Hamon clan present in the castle go down along with Jonathan Joestar and Speedwagon.
Now what’s next?
Well, Dio should now be pursuing his conquest of power.
Which realistically should not be that hard considering he did it in Stardust Crusaders
fairly well.
The problem with Phantom Blood Dio, is that I imagine we’re going to have a lot more
zombies.
But I don’t think he’ll just be disassembling civilizations by turning them into zombies.
When you consider that a Zombie created by Dio was able to gain political power, it’ll
probably be more so on that route.
While Dio is claiming his territory in the world, he’s most likely looking to making
him stronger entirely.
Since this conquest would predate the mining teams that found the arrow, gravity should
bring Dio to the arrows sooner or later.
I think he would like to not be weak to the sun more than anything, but I think that he’d
get a stand before he tries to beat the sun since we saw how well he worked on avoiding
the sun in Part 3.
So, sooner or later he gets a stand.
I think it wouldn’t take Dio too long to get control of the world and get a stand,
but just to make a call to George Joestar II, let’s say he gets it in 1921.
Since this would predate Diavolo finding the arrows, and Enya getting the arrow to give
to Dio, Dio would have to go about testing the arrows himself.
After playing as Hawkeye and making some people into some stand users, he’d stab himself.
So now, we have Dio being stronger than ever, his world conquest is doing amazing and has
no competition.
He won, but what else can he do now?
He can try to fix the whole “weak to the sun” problem and pursue the answers on how
to beat it.
Or, he’ll just enjoy his time ruling, but there will be a problem in the near future.
But let’s cover both scenarios.
If Dio doesn’t attempt his goal, then when the Pillar Men get out, they’d be roaming
the world looking for the Red Stone of Aja.
If Dio was to disperse the arrows to his henchmen, then there’s potential that the Pillar Men
could get stands before they get the Red Stone, and that would help them a lot.
And if we’re keeping it a stack, all three of the Pillar Men
with a stand versus Dio?
That doesn’t sound safe for Dio.
But it does sound more in character than trying to fix his sun weakness.
So, what I see happening would be the Pillar Men reclaiming the earth that Dio once conquered.
Now, if Dio tries to find out how to beat the sun, that’s where it gets interesting.
[Scenario 1 Scene] This is how I’d set the scene.
Dio is in the resting place of the Pillar Men.
After inspecting the ruins and seeing what looks to be statues of men, a minion of Dio
most likely triggers some sort of trap which leads into the awakening of the Pillar Men.
Dio would most likely be shocked to see this stuff, but still try to communicate with the
Pillar Men.
He’d preface that he’s Dio, the greatest thing to happen to the earth, and he’d probably
go straight to asking about defeating the sun.
Because what’s the point in asking about who they are when he doesn’t care.
Kars wouldn’t like this, and Esidisi would probably tell Wamuu to take care of this.
Wamuu would try to rush Dio, but has The World, so he could dodge him easily and bash him
in the head.
After enough of pummeling of Wamuu, Esidisi would want to jump in next, but Kars would
stop him from doing so.
Kars would slowly explain that to defeat the sun, he needs the Red Stone of Aja and a stone
mask with the slot for it.
In this time, Esidisi is slowly walking around so that as a team, him, Wamuu, and Kars, surround
Dio in a triangle formation.
How I’d have Kars finish it up would be something like, “But this information doesn’t
matter to you.
Because you’ll never get to it.”
And in this moment Kars, Esidisi, and Wamuu would lunge full-speed into Dio.
Dio would laugh and it would be something like when he was in the middle of the 20-meter
Emerald Splash.
“Ahahaha, you fools!
You don’t know what true power is, when you have conviction.
THE WORLD!”
And then he stops time.
He monologues a bit.
“Dio is who stands at the top, Dio is who is the strongest in the world!
Hinjaku, hinjaku!”
And then he “stand barrages” the three of them.
After time resumes, the three fly backwards, but they catch themselves before slamming
into the walls.
They’re picking up what’s going on.
And since Dio doesn’t have any hamon, the damage they’re taking is easy to come back
from.
Dio takes notice of the situation as he is some sort of uncomfortable given the circumstances.
He assures them he’s not running away, but instead going to the Red Stone of Aja since
he has it in his possession, just not on him.
He stops time one last time, and disappears.
Now, Dio has a lot of important possessions across the world because of the people he
controls, so it’s most likely going to take a bit to find out as to where he was keeping
the Red Stone.
The Pillar Men are going to be right behind him in searching for it too.
Dio is going to send his “stand users”, the Pillar Men will fight, and win against
most, because consider the time we’re in, most of the “stand users” we know in Part
3 wouldn’t even be around now.
We can have a huge climatic ending, but Dio is going to get the Red Stone and become the
Ultimate Life form before Kars could.
After becoming the Ultimate Life form, Dio could make the Pillar Men bow to his power
or die.
And considering Kars’ power complex, they might just die trying to take him down.
Now, when this whole story arc is over, what is Dio doing then?
He can mature over time and then pursue the idea of Heaven, and then that would trail
off into an Eyes of Heaven type of story, but we knew how that went.
[Scenario 2] Scenario 2, Dio wipes the Joestar bloodline
on the boat.
He was still defeated on the castle, but this time he just had better luck on the boat,
and everyone got taken care of.
Since Dio is going to wait at the bottom of the ocean until the fishermen are supposed
to pull him out in 1983, then that means a lot is going to be happening on the overworld.
For one, there is no Joestar lineage to help Speedwagon and the remaining Zeppeli’s against
the Pillar Men.
Since that’s the case, that means Dio might not even come back since the world would be
ran by Ultimate Kars.
How is Dio supposed to be fished out of the ocean when there’s nobody to do it?
If Dio was to truly defeat the Joestar bloodline on the ship, he would end up losing in the
worst way possible.
Instead of Kars being pronounced brain dead in space, you would have Dio going the same
route but just in the ocean.
That’s truly terrifying.
Because really, what do you know about rolling down in the deep when your brain goes…
Someone please help me.
[Scenario 3] Scenario 3! Dio beating Jotaro.
Now, considering that this scenario is the basis of the JoJo game, Eyes of Heaven, that
should be enough, ideally.
Especially since this was an original story supervised by Araki, but I’ve been asked
for my input on it for years.
So, here’s what I think.
Dio pursues heaven with Pucci, obviously.
He becomes Heaven Ascension Dio, but I’d like to change a couple of the things about
his abilities.
For one, it’s abilities are not limited The World’s hands.
I think it was a choice made to make sense and give him the ability to be beaten, but
it’s possible to get around that.
Given Dio a radius for his reality manipulation, similar to his time stop.
He can still do anything that he wants to, but my only change is that he can’t beat
Giorno with it.
An aware and well connected Giorno is required to defeat Dio.
What I want is a Joestar barrage beating both Dio and Pucci, but as to get it and how it
can make sense, that’s the odd part.
Because we can just end the scenario with Dio running up into Italy at the wrong time,
and Giorno does the both of them in, but that’s not as fun.
So, as a fun, but not exactly the most practical thing.
Imagine they were to go to the coordinates directly, in a different universe, at the
same time as Pucci was supposed to do it originally.
You can go to a New Moon day at any time really, they happen like clockwork, but they go to
when Pucci was supposed to do it because they want him to get Made in Heaven mad easy.
It just so happens that the universe they went to so they could steal from that universe’s
Pucci, is the same universe where Giorno and Josuke showed up to help defeat Pucci with
Jotaro and Jolyne.
So now, there’s two Pucci’s and one Heaven Ascension Dio.
Huge battle, grandiose battle even, but they all join together to do a whole Joestar barrage
to take out everyone.
Big ole happy ending, Dio is stopped.
Our friends aren’t brought back, which sucks, but our experiences help mold us into the
people we are now, so maybe we just enjoy what had been and what is rather than what
could’ve.
I don’t know, something, something philosophy.
Thank you all for watching, hopefully I’ll see you all in the next one.
Until then, peace out and God speed.
