We'll introduce some of Dio's famous quotes, who appears in each part and continues to reign as the pinnacle of villainy. Incidentally, Diego Brando, who appears in the seventh part, "Steel Ball Run," is considered a different character as he exists in a different dimension.

Dio is an enemy character who has appeared in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's first part, "Phantom Blood." His father and the Joestar family met by chance, and through that connection, he began living with the Joestar family and plotted to take over the family. However, when all of his plans were foiled and he was cornered, he donned a mask that turned him into a vampire called the Stone Mask and ceased to be human. He has since become immortal and has lived for many years, battling members of the Joestar family from each generation. He is also a Stand user, and uses a humanoid, close-range power Stand called "The World." Furthermore, The World can stop time for five seconds, making it one of the most powerful Stands.

First, the first famous line from Dio I'd like to introduce is, "I'm giving up my humanity! JoJo!" As mentioned earlier, this line is spoken when Dio puts on the Stone Mask after his plan to take over the Joestar family is foiled and he's cornered. It's no exaggeration to say that this is where the epic story of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure began. It's also the decisive moment when Dio becomes corrupted by evil, making it one of his most memorable scenes.

The next famous quote from Dio is, "Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?" This famous quote is from Part 1, Phantom Blood, when Dio is asked how many people he has killed by Zeppeli. To Dio, humans are already objects to be eaten, and just as he doesn't count the number of pieces of bread they eat, this line shows that Dio has no qualms about eating humans. This quote clearly shows Dio's cruelty and the fact that he no longer thinks like a human, making it a line that is very much like Dio.

The third famous Dio quote I'd like to introduce is, "That's the ultimate 'Hi!' thing!" This famous line is spoken by Dio while fighting Jotaro and Joseph in Part 3, "Stardust Crusaders," of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. After sucking Joseph's blood, Dio's body becomes accustomed to it, further strengthening him and raising his tension to the maximum. Furthermore, while saying these words, he deliberately pierces his own head with his fingers and stirs it, demonstrating his abnormality, and this is the moment when he despairs, realizing that he has become a perfect vampire and not a human. As his allies are defeated one after another, this is a tense scene that many people will remember fondly.

"The sidewalk is wide!" is another of Dio's famous quotes. He spoke this line when Jotaro arrived at Dio's mansion and the final showdown began. Jotaro and the others don't know exactly what Dio's abilities are and realize they'll be defeated if they continue like this, so they quickly leave the scene. Dio chases after them, but gets into a civilian's car and punches and threatens the man in it. He then calmly tells the man to hurry up, saying that the sidewalk is wide in the traffic jam, and that it's okay to run someone over. It's a quote that is typical of Dio, who has no regard for other people, and it also clearly shows his cruelty.

The fifth of Dio's famous quotes is, "I have only one simple idea...just one! 'Victory and domination!'" This famous quote is also spoken at the climax of the battle with Jotaro in Part 3, "Stardust Crusaders." When Jotaro also stops time, Dio takes unexpected damage. However, Jotaro says he will wait until Dio's leg heals and he can stand up. The quote we have just introduced, which is what Dio was thinking at that time, gives us a good idea of Dio's way of thinking. Having lived for over 100 years, Dio thinks differently from Jotaro. Therefore, it is typical of Dio that he does not care about the process and will try to snatch victory by any means necessary, and it is clear that he is a man who takes things away.

The next famous quote from Dio is, "Every human being lives to overcome anxiety and fear and find peace of mind." This famous quote is about the reason humans live, something that Dio has come to understand over his many years of life. It is a statement that captures human psychology, and it can also be said to be a statement of conviction. Dio is no longer human, but the existence of the Joestar family means that he cannot feel safe. This is why he is plotting to kill a member of the Joestar family.

"The World" is another of Dio's famous quotes. This quote is also what Dio says when he activates his Stand ability, and also when he simply shouts the name of his Stand. However, Jotaro and the others are defeated helplessly by the brutality of the Stand's ability to stop time. It is such an impressive Stand, and the moment it stops time for the first time left many readers astonished, making this line a famous quote. Due to its overwhelming strength, charisma, and ability to attract people, despite being an enemy, it has many fans and is probably a favorite scene for many.

The last of Dio's famous quotes is, "It's a Road Roller!" Those who haven't read the original manga likely won't understand what he's talking about. This famous quote comes at the climax of the final showdown between Jotaro and Dio. All of Jotaro's allies are defeated except for Jotaro, and even though he is completely worn out, he continues to fight. Amidst all this, Jotaro realizes that he also has the ability to stop time, and little by little he is able to stop time and resist Dio. At times like these, Dio's safest way of attacking without getting too close is to crush him with a road roller. It is a little surreal that he himself introduces the thing he will attack when attacking. However, given the tremendous deadly battle and tension, this quote is considered a famous one. It can truly be said to be one of the top five greatest battle scenes in all of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
