Dio Brando (Known as simply just DIO in Stardust Crusaders) is a major antagonist from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga and anime series, acting as main villain of parts 1 and 3, Phantom Blood and Stardust Crusaders. Dio was initially an orphan who was adopted into the Joestar family, but he set up a plan to usurp the Joestar's fortune, attempting to drive Jonathan Joestar crazy, so he could claim the fortune as the only heir. The plan backfired at Dio, who was forced to befriend Jonathan. Eventually, Dio discovered the powers of the Stone Mask, using it to become an immortal vampire. Jonathan defeated Dio, but his mansion was burned to the ground. He eventually learned the ways of the Hamon (also known as the Ripple), using it to destroy Dio definitely. Dio survived with only his head, killing Jonathan and taking his body, though he was forced to drown in the sea, where he remained for a century. When he woke up from his slumber, he gained his stand The World, which allowed him to stop time for some seconds. Joseph Joestar and Jotaro Kujo then set on a journey to kill Dio, who was hiding in Egypt.

In M.U.G.E.N, Dio was created by various creators, most notably Warusaki3.

Warusaki3's version


Warusaki made 2 versions of DIO which are slightly diffrent from eachother. These versions are pretty close to DIO's appearance in his source game, but they do feature some changes implemented by Warusaki. Being strong, combo-heavy and not too hard to use, DIO can be a powerful character while mastered.
