Diavolo

Diavolo is a major antagonist from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that appears in Part 5: Vento Aureo. Since his early appearance depicts him as a shadow, it is sometimes referred to as "The Boss."

While the majority of his early life is unclear, it is known that he was born in a prison during 1967, and originally lived in a village until a fire broke out and killed six people in his village, including a priest that adopted him. Diavolo was listed as a casualty as well, but he actually slipped of to Egypt to find six Stand Arrows, five of which he later sold for a large amount of cash and eventually returned to Italy to form the gang Passione, a mafia group that he molded to become a dominant force that controlled the majority of Italy.

Diavolo also suffers from dissociative identity disorder, giving him a second personality named Vinegar Doppio, who serves as Diavolo's subordinate and uses him to go out in public without anyone seeing him. He appears much differently from Diavolo, as the two of them have differing muscular builds and appear to be of different ages. Doppio can "call" Diavolo when he rings by picking up the nearest object he believes to be a phone- in reality it's actually Diavolo speaking inside Doppio's brain, though Doppio believes these calls mean Diavolo and him are different people altogether.

Diavolo's stand, King Crimson (Emperor Crimson in the US), takes the form of a red humanoid with a gray face, a muscular build similar to Diavolo's, and a second face called Epitaph. King Crimson not only possesses immense power but also has the ability to delete time for up to 10 seconds, causing everyone to forget the last 10 seconds of their life except Diavolo, who has full consciousness and can move freely, although he can't interact with objects or people. He can see people's next actions as a red afterimage in the anime or juxtapositions of the foe's next move in the manga. When the time frame ends, affected people will suddenly find themselves in the state they were supposed to be in 10 seconds later, and will retain no memories of the last time frame. King Crimson's second face, Epitaph, serves as a "sub-stand" of sorts, allowing Diavolo to foresee 10 seconds in the future, letting him dodge enemy attacks with ease.

In M.U.G.E.N, Diavolo has been made by various authors.

Amarimono's version


This version of the boss is All-Star Battle styled, and as such, is less traditional. While his button layout is unorthodox, and his playstyle can be a bit confusing to new players, placing him in the right hands makes him a terrifying opponent, especially if the player has experience with landing counterattacks.
