I'd say colloidal silver but I don't know if silver harms vamps in the Jojoverse.

The color scheme kinda reminds me of the SMT Metatron design but that's probably a funny coincidence.

It don't really look like an Araki's design, more like they told Araki videogame final boss.

I really hope they can take advantage of. Move set that a true God DIO would own. Also hope he take on the form after absorbing all 4 playable Dios and eating the Pillar men.
I love the person who mentioned Star Platinum Requiem, DIO deserves to end up in the looping ORA dimension

Star Platinum Requiem actually forces the victim to listen to demeaning one liners in a constantly resetting loop until their spirit is completely broken, it's an undervalued but pretty critical part of Jotaro's skillset

Compared to basically everything Araki's designed from Part 5 onwards at least, I would hazard a guess at Araki not being involved in the design of this whatsoever. He's said to be involved with the story but it's probably to the extent of "This is something I was planning to use myself for X or Y or This isn't really applicable to the JoJo universe and yeah that's fine, go ahead."

I'm gonna guess at The World Over Heaven having utter and complete time control. Stop/Pause, Rewind, Fast Forward, Travel and to beat him, you're going to have all 8 JoJos stop him doing specific things.

He also looks like the Ultimate Warrior.

I can't believe there hasn't been a main Jojo villain whose power is freezing things and they end up evolving their Stand to the point where they can freeze time.

That seems Araki enough to have been a thing by now.

You could reasonably argue that Dio did that in his transition from vampire to vampire with a stand.

I think I read something along the lines of that concept, an alternate story where Dio put the mask of Jonathan like he planned

Yes, Dio put the mask on Jonathan and the latter ran away trying to avoid giving in to his bloodthrist. Eventually, he ends up turning Dio into a vampire anyway.

It would be interesting to see sequels where the Zeppellis and their friends have to stop Kars, Enya, and Diavolo without the Joestar bloodline to help them..

E: bad seafood, with tonio was it all natural ability that turned it into a stand or was it also the motivator of his sick partner?
Eh, six one way, half-a-dozen the other.

The key thing to take away here is that Tonio naturally developed a stand based off his cooking prowess without 1.) being born with a stand or 2.) having a stand artificially forced upon him. Whether motivated by his love or built up through sheer talent, that stand is a product of his efforts of a chef.

That said, the more likely sequence of events seems to have been Tonio developing a stand, trying to use his newfound power to save his lover, then scouring the world for the perfect ingredients to do so, ultimately leading him to the small town of Morioh.

I especially want Scary Monsters Diego to think they're all weird psychos since he's arguably the least douchey, either that or just loving bail on them.

Or God DIO might just kill all of them off because they're competition or whatever.

Honestly, I think The World Over Heaven might be able to gently caress with the timeline(s) and that's why all that weird time nonsense is going on in the storyline (Speedwagon showing up when SDC should have ended, Rohan finding DIO's diary somehow, etc). It's a very Araki thing to do, plus it's a convenient way to bring every character together. Maybe he's in the process of getting rid of every timeline where he doesn't win? I guess we'll see. :allears:

He seems like a bad fanfic OC as written by DIO, which is even better imo.

EDIT: That'd be pretty funny, now that I'm thinking about it. "DIO realizes he's in a shounen manga and tries to rewrite how JoJo's Bizarre Adventure went" would be something I'd watch. It doesn't even sound that far-fetched, considering.

Realizing he's in a shonen manga, DIO gets Pucci to coerce Araki into letting him win. Araki, realizing what a threat he could be, makes the story into a video game via his Stand power. Only too late did DIO realize that this would mean he was eternally subject to being beaten by skilled players who picked up the game.
