JORGE JOESTAR (JUMP j BOOKS)

Product Information

From the start of the planning of the manga, Araki intended to depict Dio as a "cool" character who descends into villainy. Thinking that it could be difficult to create an evil antagonist that readers would empathize with, Araki wrote Dio as coming from a poor family with a father "with no redeeming qualities whatsoever", giving Dio motivation to acquire power and get revenge on the world even if it led him to do immoral and illegal things. Araki also noted that a character who acts without regard for morals and laws can give readers a feeling of catharsis due to exhibiting the same "ugly feelings" people hold but cannot show, making Dio more easily relatable than a character who only does good. [40] Dio's name was taken directly from the Italian word for "god", and was chosen to sound good together with the name "JoJo". [41] In 1888, after becoming old enough to inherit the Joestar fortune, [6] Dio deliberately poisons Jonathan's father, George. [8] Jonathan's search for an antidote takes him to Ogre Street, a dangerous street in London, [7] where he befriends a thug named Robert E. O. Speedwagon. At the same time, Dio intends to arrange a freak accident to kill Jonathan with the stone mask and tests the mask on a drunkard. [9] The mask instead turns the drunkard into a powerful vampire who nearly kills Dio before being destroyed by sunlight. [10] Jonathan and Speedwagon return to the mansion with an antidote and expose Dio's scheme. [11] Dio attempts to kill Jonathan with a knife but George sacrifices his life to save Jonathan. [11] [12] Dio uses the blood spilt by George and the mask to become a vampire. [13] Jonathan sets the Joestar family's mansion on fire and impales Dio on a statue in the burning mansion, [14] [15] but Dio survives. [16] Empowered Badass Normal: He's a formidable boxer and very strong physically, and learning Hamon only makes him more formidable. Hero Antagonist: If Araki's word is to be believed and the true protagonist of Phantom Blood is not Jonathan, but actually the villainous Dio, then Jonathan is the part's heroic antagonist.

The main antagonist of Stone Ocean, a priest who is one of DIO's remaining followers and sought to see DIO's vision of the world realized. His Stand was originally Whitesnake, which extracts people's spirits and memories, even Stands, in the form of compact disks that can be freely inserted into other people and objects. Enrico later evolves his Stand with a fragment of The World into the gravity manipulating C-Moon by absorbing a homunculus created from DIO's bone (which contained a fragment/piece of The World), later evolving it further into Made in Heaven to reboot the universe into one where Joestar bloodline never existed. But he ends up being killed by Emporio, with the universe rebooted once more. And while I'm at it, since there aren't any official English translations for the novel itself either, here is a link to a fan translation I had been using as well, if anyone is so inclined A French man whose Stand is Silver Chariot, an armored knight wielding a rapier that can boost its blinding speed further by casting off its armor while producing a series of afterimages. Polnareff's desire to avenge his younger sister's rape and murder by J. Geil led to him ending up being under DIO's control before being freed by the Joestar Group, eventually joining the group officially after finally exacting his revenge. He suffered injuries during his fight with Vanilla Ice. Polnareff later acquired the Bow and Arrow before being crippled by Diavolo during the events of Vento Aureo, forced to use the Arrow on himself at the time of his to evolve his Stand into the soul manipulating Chariot Requiem to protect the Arrow while Polnareff's soul was transferred into a turtle. Tsukumojuku brings some elements from his book into the Jojo universe, such as the concept of living within a narrative, but the concept of God in this thought experiment is given the name Beyond. He also acts as significant plot advancement. But most of my WTF-ery is with all of the AU Jojo Part colliding happening.Badass Cape: He wears a long cloak when he traverses the streets of London and fights against the thugs of Ogre Street.

Beyond grants him and any other user self-awareness, through which he realizes that he is merely a character in someone else's story. And by believing in his Beyond, this unique ability will provide any convenient means needed, permitting George to perform whatever is in his best interest and benefit, as long as he believes in this power. It currently stands as one of the most powerful abilities in the JoJo series, despite not being canon. A 15-year-old boy who is shot with the Arrow, and gets the Stand Echoes. He is timid, but learns to stand up for himself. His Stand went through 2 transformations, giving him access to Act 1, Act 2 and Act 3.
