DIO apeared in the first part and was meant to be the story's main villain.
Diego appeared in the seventh part and was meant to be a character.
These differences greatly matter on how they were written and how we view these two.

[ivanbluecool]

Also the probably most fully fleshed out story araki ever did. I can't wait for steel ball run anime.

[Synthpopper]

100% agreed. And with alternate The World we got our cake and ate it too in a hype af final volume.

Diego vs valentine is the spiritual successor to risotto vs doppio

[wafagdplqs]

I've always seen Diego Brando as DIO's humanity and his better self in every way, both as a person and a character.

[alcatrazvongola]

Thank you for talking about Diego! This makes me look forward more to Jodio's development since he has that Brando dawg in him.

I like how as Diego isn't an outright villain compared to DIO, Johnny isn't exactly a hero like Jonathan either. Both of them are simply participants in the SBR race, looking for personal gain. Great video - I think you've detailed the difference between hero/villain and protag/antag nicely!

[purplehaze]

I don't think a sympathetic villain is inherently better than an evil villain, frankly. I'd argue the mentality they are has done legitimate damage to writing as a craft.

[goroakechi]

Diego feels like what Araki wanted part 1 Dio to be before becoming ‘pure evil’.
And it’s so much more interesting.

I love my rock eating, President killing, Nun kissing British boy.

11:52 That ambition. The absolute desire to stand on top is what makes me love Diego. What I love most is the transition from a weaker Diego to a more powerful one. The World really added more emphasis to Diego's character imo cause he realized this was the key to winning. Alternate World Diego had a better chance at winning and achieving his goal. His ambition and his stand, the key to his victory, actually took him somewhere. He still died yes but I feel like got farther to his goal than part 3 Dio got to his. Diego's The World really was the salt that was needed in the pot. The power he attained is what made him more enjoyable. Cause original Diego was close yes as mention in the vid but he could've gotten farther if he had the world. It's like comparing it to part 1 and part 3 Dio. Using Jonathan's body and attaining the world. The world is the exact key that would've brought every Dio to their absolute peak and reach their goals if it wasn't for plot and Joestars.

Vampire to Vampire with Stand. Love the original concept. It was needed in order to create the part 7 transition of dinosaur to pure stand user. But for Alternate world Diego to show how useless his other world counterpart and prove why he would stand on top is just something I enjoy. I love Diego.

2:31 it's been like 2 years since I read SBR, and only now am i noticing that a young Diego had donuts in his hair

[animefan]

While both Dio and Diego ultimately gained their iconic powers (vampirism and Scary Monsters) from others, Dio is ultimately just leeching off of a much more successful predecessor who managed to use the full potential of the power Dio became a vampire through while Dio only scratched the surface, with Dio needing another power- a Stand- something all things with the right will power can get to be a threat.

In contrast, Diego's use of his new Stand is so unorthodox and versatile, that it's seen more as Diego's power than Dr. Ferninand's due to Diego taking it to heights that the original user couldn't even dream of. It's very telling that when the Stand Scary Monsters comes up, Diego comes up as the user.

bro hit us with that invincible title card intro 😭

I started watching this channel for the power scaling, but it's really nice to see narrative-focued videos like this. The editing is super clean, and I could watch content like this for hours at a time. Hope more is to come! ❤

Before I say this, I love part 7, I love Diego, even if my favorite part is part 8 still love every part. But I think I prefer the main universe DIO more. From part one, to part three, to part six. And it comes down to a very simple thing, I like a pure evil villain. Albert Wesker is one of my favorite villains because he's just a guy who wants to kill billions to become a god. He's not complex. He's just evil. Therefore he can just be a badass, overpowered villain that can just do what he wants. He's fun. DIO is fun. I think DIO is more complex than Wesker. Part 3 DIO is probably my favorite villain of all time. Period. DIO in general, from 1 to 6 is my favorite villain of all time. I just like a pure evil, evil for the sake of it villain. Complex, sympathetic villains are nice. But nothing wrong with a villain that's just evil. As long as they're fun. And DIO is fun.

[Jarethttorney]

The main thing about Diego that is so good is we get to see 2 forms of him, base Diego is far closer to I think Risotto in terms of personality than Dio both deeply scarred by the loss of a family member and both seeking revenge plus both go up against the main villain, while with AU Diego he get to see more personality traits from Dio and a form of Dio that doesn't mess around and does all he needs to obtain victory without becoming too cocky in his abilities.

[commonviewer]

Diego is my favorite antagonist. He had a hard life with a loving mother who embedded within him a sense of pride, and with her passing a dark determination to do anything to rise above the masses. Other Jojo big bads are either simple in their motives, or are some kind of radical. The depths of Diego make him more of a rival than a villain.

[Jacksontrooper]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS IN THE ENTIRE FRANCHISE THINGY FOR MAKING A VIDEO ABOUT HIM!

[jayco]

I love DIo. I have not read part 7 yet, but Dio is my favorite villian so far. I find his ever evolving mindset very cool.

[MatterOrNot]

I am still waiting for diego to return in part 9, now with the upper half of his body encased in a glass container, ready to take Jodio's lower half, sleep for a hundred years, and then return with a plan to take over the world.
