I imagine how he's talking about how Dio (he doesn't' say DIO) was literally free to do anything he wanted once he graduated college, George loved Dio and he would have had endless Joestar money without having to dick anyone over whatsoever. But he's Dio and that's what he does.

Basically it, yeah, along with those bits about having "the devil's own luck."

Ah. My mistake. Yeah, Dio could've lived a good life. It's more or less seen in Diego, since he's not really evil as much as a dick. Diego with The World (was he called DIO too?) was still pretty evil though.

Diego with The World was generally more in-line with Classic DIO than Scary Monsters Diego.

Though Scary Monsters Diego still gold digs an old woman.

Cinderella is also said to change someone's fate. Kira likes to talk about how fate is on his side, which is why it's ironic that he's run over by an ambulance.

Not only that, but that it specifically rips his face off in doing so, it's kinda like fate going "gently caress your poo poo, this fate aint yours"

This Cinderella stuff is going a lot deeper than we may have initially figured. :stare:

I could list more instances where luck helps Dio an insane amount (the rising sun instantly killing a vampire that he made on accident really stands out) but it's really funny to me that Dio seems to be the only villain who is such a control freak that he doesn't trust fate at all, and yet either a lot of things fall in his favor anyway or they would if he just stopped acting like a dick.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
So I was going to brush my teeth and I picked up my toothbrush when I started looking for the toothpaste but there wasn't any out, I find that kinda suspicious but open up a box anyway and when i'm about to put some on my toothbrush it turns out i'm actually holding the half-empty toothpaste and my toothbrush was with the other brushes. Is an Enemy Stand attacking me? or is my own stand starting to manifest??

I just assume they are happy little accidents.

Dio tho, after spending 100 years under the sea he seemed to enjoy this new idea of gravity bringing things together that need to be together in order to fulfill his true idea of what the world should be like. Part 3 has his goal ultimately being that he wants to eliminate the joestar lineage stop time indefinitely, tho part 6 has his plan go further with him wanting the world to also just exist in a state where everyone and everything will know their past, present, and future, with it all being predestined and unchangeable and known and accepted.

I forget, did Dio have his stand when he met Pucci? He only got it recently by the time of stardust crusaders and I think he and pucci were hanging out only as recently as a year before then maybe?? I'm not sure. It'd at least explain why dio's plan would change from "Everyone will be happy and I will know all because everyone will know their path in life and be forced to accept it" to "oh poo poo I got me some joseph blood, I'm gonna train until I can stop time indefinitely, that'll do pretty much the same thing"

I can't recall exactly if DIO had The World when he and Pucci first met, but didn't he give Pucci an arrowhead as a parting gift/way to meet up again? And then the arrow stabs the poo poo out of Pucci's neck later during his backstory stuff, giving him and Weather stands. So at that point DIO must have at least known what the arrow does to worthy people.

And when they're hanging out later he definitely has The World and jams Pucci's fingers into his own brain to see if Pucci will take his stand disc. You know, normal friend stuff.

Dio had his stand, but the World's time stop powers manifested around the same time as Pucci's stand/when Pucci started regularly hanging around with Dio. They met in approximately Jan 1988 when Dio hid in the church, and Pucci forgot all about him until Perla died and he has his meltdown in the river. They picked up contact right after that in approximately July/Aug, six months before the final confrontation in Egypt.
