rivals with Jonathan Joestar. Harnessing the power of the Stone Mask, Dio
became a powerful vampire. While living with Jonathan Joestar, Dio's true colors didn't take long to show. Dio is a villain of little conscience, vast cunning, and an insatiable hunger for power. After becoming a vampire and later a Stand user, Dio has gathered around him many
minions and is responsible for many major events of the series. In
his first fighting game appearance, Dio
debuts as his Part III: Stardust Crusaders
version.

Phantom Blood
Dio... one recklessly evil, badass vampire dude. I read the entirety of Part 1 of the JoJo
manga and enjoyed it for what it is. Dio is definitely a real true douchebag to Jonathan Joestar
throughout the entire manga, so he's a despicable and easy bad guy to hate. I
usually like villains, but I kept rooting for Jonathan in the manga. That's how
much of a jerk Dio is.
Anyhow, Phantom Blood Dio's fighting game debut in All-Star Battle was pretty epic. They brought
new life into many of his evil mannerisms, and his fighting style is pretty
awesome. I love his super jump animations for some reason... and his super moves
are badass. It's interesting seeing this character's evolution into Part 3 of
the JoJo series. Za Warudo!
