Analyzing Evil: Dio Brando From Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 

Dio is SO evil that he turned a woman into a vampire and made her eat her own baby.

-Oh... you're approaching me? -I can't analize your evil ass without getting closer.

*“He has no rules. No boundaries. He doesn't flinch at torture, human trafficking, or genocide. He's not loyal to a flag or country or any set of ideals. He trades blood for money. He's your new best friend”*

The fact the Jonathan’s last act of life was to embrace the creature that caused him so much agony throughout his life and admit he still cared about him was so moving even Dio had to pause. I wish later parts went into more detail how Dio really felt about that moment, even if he’s unabashedly evil.

Ngl, the girl who b*tch slapped Dio and called him "monster" after he offered her immortality and eternal youth was badass af. Truly one of the most legendary JoJogirls

The most interesting part of Dio's evil is how petty it can be. Throughout Stardust Crusaders it's established that he's made it clear to his followers who know what his stand can do must keep that secret at all cost, to the point that the idea of risking being forced to reveal it to the Crusaders is so terrifying it directly causes that follower to fail. And yet, when they do eventually figure out what The World can do and confront Dio, he merely shrugs since he is so supremely confident in his stand's power. He allowed his followers to believe the most furious vengeance would be visited upon them if they ever betrayed this secret, and yet when that secret is finally unmasked he doesn't appear to care.

You thought it was a different Analyzing Evil, BUT IT WAS ME, DIO!

Joseph: "How many times have you m*sturbated with my grandfather's body?!" DIO: "I don't know. How many Caesar salads have you eaten in your life?" Joseph: "DIOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

Everyone jokes about the loafs of bread line. But when you really think about it, that line is DARK. It does a great job showing how many people he killed in the span of a few days.

DUUUUDE I'm so glad you covered this!! Yoshikage Kira would be another great JoJo villain to cover, since he breaks the mold of so many villain tropes in media altogether.

Fun fact: the Jojo ova for part 3 was the first solo directing gig for Satoshi Kon. He specifically directed the scene in the ova with Dio forcing the senator to drive for him and you can see what would become his signature animation style in that scene.

I've been waiting for this episode. One thing that I think is important to note is the influence Araki had when listening to the music of Ronnie James Dio while writing DIO's character. As his story ties directly into the themes of the lyrics from songs like "Holy Diver", "Hungry for Heaven", "Egypt" and others. Holy Diver in particular definitely influenced Araki in coming up with the idea of DIO being submerged in water for years on end. Personally, I find DIO's heaven plan to be horrifying. It takes away all of the agency we may or may not have, and would leave you with a full picture of what your life is going to amount to, effectively leaving you a puppet to fate. While our lives may be planned from the start, it's only through our agency, real or fake, that we are able to become free thinking and compassionate humans. But why would that matter to someone like DIO? A man who is by all accounts, more monster than man. A man who takes away the free will of others at the drop of a hat, whether it be through his mind altering pheromones, charisma, zombification, or through his stand...DIO's sole purpose was always to infect THE WORLD with his malice. Thank You for covering my favorite series of all time!!!

before this video: "why is dio so evil?" the vile eye: "dio was born in london" ah that explains it

To be fair to Speedwagon, "born evil" and "born a psycho/sociopath" were basically the same thing for someone in Victorian London.

I'd like to point that in the context of the main literature, regardless of media (manga or anime) that the heaven plan is never framed to be good for humanity in any way. DIO's ideal of Heaven results in everyone being aware of their own fate, that fate being that humanity's one true and only king was DIO. In the absense of DIO, Heaven, under Pucci's influence isn't any better, just a different flavor of worse. There is no king to fawn over or fear, but the simple inevitable apathy that will reach all of humanity because of their awareness of their entire purpose in the universe. Jojo as a series is about exploring and celebrating the glory of humanity in all of its facets to the absurd, bizarre extremes. Both good and bad. With awareness of the future, there would be no glory to celebrate in. Everyone will simply be a sleeping slave of fate, forced to endure and play out the whims of destiny, regardless of what they feel. Under Heaven, Crime would mean nothing, Heroism would mean nothing, Death would mean nothing, Life would mean nothing. I don't think Araki is a fan of Fatalism.

DIO: *Comes back again* JoJos: "HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON, OLD MAN?" DIO: "I love kicking dogs"

I get chills every time i take this wacky, bizarre series seriously; both the stunning heroism and grotesquely horrific evils Araki writes are simply amazing fiction.

You thought it would be another villain, but it was me, Dio!

🎶 Holy diver you've been down too long in the midnight sea. 🎶

I love that Dio isn't just a villain he's a force of nature, and an epitome of mesmerizing evil, and being one hell of a vampiric powerhouse makes him so much better to watch, here's to the man who made ZA WARUDO a phrase that has been ingrained into my very spirit.

I like how Dio has heavily influenced the JoJo series after his death.

Yes finally!! Clicked immediately. Edit: Cannot wait to eventually see you cover Yoshikage Kira

His impact throughout the series is so impactful that its felt in every season or timeline

"You were expecting a notoriously underrated villain, BUT IT WAS I, DIO!" - Yellow Banana Time Man

Honestly kinda surprised it took so long to get to this bastard. He's so evil, I knew about him years before I even ever watched the anime.

Analyzing Evil: Yujiro "The Ogre" Hanma from the Baki series.

That scene of Dio and the woman with the baby is the most messed up scene not only in JoJo, but in all of anime and possibly in fiction for me. It's even more gruesome in the manga.

You thought it was a normal Analyzing Evil episode? BUT IT WAS I, DIO!

Dio is one of my all time favorite villains, he's close behind Palpatine for me. Both Takehito Koyasu and Patrick Seitz (his best character only behind Uvogin) were amazing voicing him.

Analyzing Evil: Millions Knives from Trigun

None of y’all have any idea how long I’ve been waiting on this one. DIO is not only my favorite villain in Jojo’s, but of all time in general.

Here are some suggestions. -Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40K, this would be more of a debate if he is even evil or not but I like to hear what you would say about him -Archaon the thirteenth Everchosen of Chaos from Warhammer fantasy -Cyrus from Pokemon -Akira Nishikiyama from Yakuza

"How Many Breads Have You Eaten In Your Life"

Really loved this episode and really enjoy your segments. As you said on this episode, Yoshikage Kira needs a video for himself. 😁 Keep up this wonderful work, sir.

What I think of this utterly memetic villain is truly astonishing, incredible, ludicrous & yes! Bizarre! But he certainly goes to show that one doesn't automatically become evil when becoming a vampire; bad people just need an incentive to let their inhibitions go

Dio? Lets GOO FINALLY I hope we get more Jojo Villains like Funny Valentine Kira And Many More!

The end of Part 6 didn't cause DIO to stop existing, it caused Pucci to stop existing

Wished you've talked about The World more, an embodiment of Dio's personality of being untouchable by anyone else where he has control over anything, and how offended he is when its invalidated. There's also a Hol Horse manga that describes Dio's relations with subordinates. Also the comment that Dio doesn't exist in the new universe is just false.

Dio, whose name means god is a complete god complex sociopath. Everyone that serves him is a pawn. I don’t think he cared about anyone, including Pucci and his various male and female lovers. As it shown that Dio would consume his lovers, who were essentially just concubines. Even after his true death, Dio still had a vessel for revenge in the form of Pucci, who was again a pawn. Excellent villain analysis as always. Villain Profile Suggestions: 1. Frank Underwood/Francis Urquart (House of
Cards) 3. 001 (Squid Game) 4. Petyr Baelish (A Song of Ice and Fire) 5. Frank Gallagher (Shameless US 6. Marty and Wendy Byrde (Ozark) 7. Dudley Smith (L.A Confidential) 9. Lilith (Diablo 4) 10. Idi Amin (Last King of Scotland) 11. Kratos (God of War series) 12. Eric Cartman (South Park) 13. Father (Full Metal Alchemist) 14. The Sons of Anarchy Gang

Analyzing Evil: Loghain Mac Tir From Dragon Age Origins Analyzing Evil: Sosuke Aizen From Bleach Analyzing Evil: Kirei Kotomine From Fate Analyzing Evil: Enver Gortash From Baldur's Gate III So many good characters I'd like to see

If I remember right, Dio's Japanese voice actor gave an interview where he said the story basically could have ended after Episode 3 of the anime (the fight in the Joestar mansion). Not to say that everything after is unnecessary, obviously, but that Dio's life is essentially over after that: the moment his evil is revealed, he is doomed to forever be a victim of his own hubris. I love that quick moment from Stardust Crusaders, when Dio pauses in the middle of his pursuit of the Joestar gang to marvel at a modern car. Dio's power came at the cost of any chance of growth.

Dio is the personification of evil. That man, or kid, killed Jojo's dog. But he's how you do evil.

Thank goodness we finally got DIO. I've been wanting thsi episode for so long. Can't wait to see other JJBA villains (especially Funny Valentine if we get there, because he's by far the best written)

Analyzing Evil: Punpun Onadera from Goodnight Punpun

I think an episode on the Anti Spiral from Gurren Lagann would be a very interesting episode. Their motivations are ones that come from a genuine desire to protect the universe at the cost of the livelihoods and freedoms of everyone else.

I find the most interesting part of DIOs character are the people he actually somewhat cares for, like his mother, and to an extent Jonathan’s especially after his death, he showed a lot of respect and in his own way care for him. Not to mention his relationship with Pucci. It gives me a lot of depth and I always liked that the only person DIO ever respected was Jonathan, and that ultimately he still saw him as his brother.

Jojo has some of the best villains in the anime/manga world IMO. DIO is such a petty asshole right from the start that all the additional thoughts from his diary only enrich what the first episode already set up brilliantly. Also you are absolutely right Kira DEFINITELY deserves his own video.

That’s a face only a mother could strangle.

Funny Valentine deserves a video

Hope to see these covered some day: - Joe Cooper (Killer Joe) - Nino Brown (New Jack City) - Jake "The Muss" Heke (Once Were Warriors) - Spider-Man 3 villains (Sandman and Venom) - Dr. X (from the Operation: Mindcrime albums by Queensrÿche)

YESSSSS! DIO is my favorite anime/manga villain and today is my birthday! Thanks for today’s upload😁😁! I cannot wait my third favorite hopefully soon, Ryo Asuka from Devilman Crybaby.

In regards to knowing your own fate, it kind of brings up an interesting idea: if EVERYONE knows their own fate and if some change their own fate, would that (ironically) create chaos from uncertainty? If that's the case, would that make DIO's idea of heaven self-defeating? Considering that Pucci was defeated regardless, I would say that DIO's heaven was doomed from the start, or at the very least unsustainable in the long term.

Giorno character is similar to DIO'S brutal method but with the ideology and soul is much closer to Jonathan.

“MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAICHIBIOKEKAWRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!” Dio, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

“And before you ask Walter, YES! THIS IS A JOJO REFERENCE!”

What's funny about Dio is that initially he hates Johnathan with all his being, and by the end, Johnathan, even dead 100 years, is likely the only person he ever loved.

The Vile Eye looks like an adult bearded Cartman from South Park.

The Over Heaven light novel is not canon, which is where "Erina put dio in the coffin" comes from

Yes. Thank you. One of my favourite villains of all time. I would love if you can do all of the jojo villains because of how unique they are.

At last! One of my favorite characters in all fiction and my third favorite vampire. DIO is one of the most vile and irredeemable monsters with just as much (if not more) showmanship and presentation. You have my endless thanks for covering this magnificent villain.

Holy shit, perfect timing. This just popped up in my recommended 40 minutes into my shift, and 6 hours after release. This is the episode I’ve been most excited for. Can’t wait to see your analysis, vile eye. Been very keenly waiting to see your coverage of DIO.

"Oh? You're analyzing me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?

Hell yes, DIO! Never stop with these amazing videos mate, keep up the good work.

So the Heaven plan is actually really interesting because on the surface it would appear like what Dio and Pucci want is a greater good for humanity. The ability to know one’s fate and thus have the anxiety of the uncertain stripped from you sounds good on paper; but there’s a few things to keep in mind. The first is that Dio and Pucci are not actually doing this out of the goodness of their hearts nor even for a greater good. Dio is a prideful egomaniac who believes he stands atop humanity and thus believes he can project his thoughts and beliefs onto them without their consent; where as Pucci is an unwavering follower of a false idol and thus is blind to the true evil behind their version of “Heaven”. And two, their version of Heaven is a twisted ideal that goes against the center theme of Jojo. As Araki has stated before, Jojo is a celebration of humanity, and to be human as the series has pointed out is to accept one’s fate and to face it head on with righteousness and resolve despite the uncertainty in their minds. Dio’s heaven would rob humanity of its strongest trait and that is the ability to face fate even in uncertainty. Because if everyone knows their fates why would they bother actually living? If you already know how your life is going to go, the surprises, the love, and the good that life brings will be meaningless because it’s essentially spoiled for you. Most importantly, your actions can impact the fates of others around you, but if nobody feels the need to act anymore, then the influence someone can have and the good they bring to the world will be lost. That’s why in the end, Pucci loses, and a world where neither his nor Dio’s actions is created at the end of Stone Ocean. Because the two of them did not want to free humanity at all, but would instead create a world founded on their unproven ideals and subjugated all of humanity to what they believe is right because “they know better”. So in short, Dio’s heaven plan is evil, but evil in the strange and bizarre way evil is in Jojo😂

Analyzing Evil: The God-Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40k

I really enjoyed hearing the story from such an analytical perspective

Finally!!! CAN'T wait for you to Cover Valentine, Pucci and Kira, Villains who are equal if not far compelling and complex than DIO

It's awesome hearing your in-depth analysis of JoJo! The AI generated Kakyoin caught me off guard though xD

He's not got any Animated Media, but from the Warhammer 40,000 Universe the Primarch Conrad Kurze would make an interesting episode.

You though this was going to be a video about a normal Hollywood blockbuster villain? "BUT IT WAS I DIO!"

Pucci, Yoshikage, and Funny Valentine are JJBA villains I'm hoping for you to cover.

Analizing evil: funny valentine

DAMN its DIO time!

Great video as always. I think you should try analyzing Doflamingo from One Piece. He’s definitely one of anime’s most interesting villains

I was thinking of what would be a nifty follow-up to Dio... *Maximilian (Vampire in Brooklyn) ...given that: 1) we're coming up on "Wes Craven Day" (he would've turned 85 on August 2); 2) Eddie Murphy's reboot of BEVERLY HILLS COP has just been released, right on time for the original's 40th anniversary. What do you think, friends?

I'm always happy to see another video from the Vile Eye uploaded. Would you consider doing a video analyzing Sephiroth from FF7? He's one of my favorite tragic villains.

Recommendations: John Fitzgerald from The Revenant, Lady Eboshi from Princess Mononoke, Pagan Min from Farcry4, Illusive man from Mass Effect, and Niander Wallace from Bladerunner 2049
