Dio Brando

Dio Brando is a major antagonist from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. He is the main antagonist of both JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 1: Phantom Blood and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, where he is known simply as DIO in the latter.

Originally poor on the streets of Victorian England, Dio was the son of the thief Dario Brando, whom Dio held in contempt due to his abusive and alcoholic nature, holding him responsible for his mother's death. After killing his father and learning of a debt his father owed to George Joestar I, Dio went to the Joestars with the intention of stealing their fortune for himself by tricking George into adopting him and secretly killing both George and his only son, Jonathan Joestar. After Jonathan foiled Dio's plan, Dio threw away his humanity by killing George and using his blood to activate the Stone Mask, turning Dio into a vampire. After receiving Hamon training, Jonathan nearly kills Dio, who is forced to decapitate himself in order to survive. 100 years later, Dio emerges from a casket unearthed from the bottom of the sea, now having assimilated Jonathan's body and acquiring the power of the Stand; this however, causes a chain reaction in the surviving members of the Joestar family as their Stand powers awaken as well. Dio then takes this opportunity to enact his revenge on the Joestars.

In M.U.G.E.N, Dio has been made by various authors in both his original appearance from Phantom Blood and his appearance in Stardust Crusaders after assimilating Jonathan's body and acquiring a Stand.

Warusaki3's first version


With the majority of his gameplay having been borrowed from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future, along with a few minor alterations, DIO comes complete with his Stand power and near-faithful accuracy to the game, in order to make sure he stands out among all other M.U.G.E.N character everywhere in ZA WARUDO!!!
