In
the first Jojo series, Dio was the enemy of the then-hero Jonathan
Joestar.
On a sinking boat, Jonathan decapitated the vampire, but found himself
attacked by the floating head. Dio's head stole Jonathan's body as the
boat sank and had not been heard of for a hundred years. He returned, along
with his own stand, the World. The ever charismatic vampire lives in a
secluded mansion in Egypt where he hopes to hear of Joseph and Jotaro's
deaths at the hands of his many henchmen. "The World," is a robot-looking
man with the power to stop time for several seconds. In his first fighting game
appearance, Dio appears as he does in Part III: Stardust Crusaders. His
original version, Dio (Phantom
Blood) debuted in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle.
