    What’s also really good is his actions reveal that his “I just want to live a quiet life” is self-justifying horseshit, because once he gets Bites the Dust he is a smug asshole who actively taunts his pursuers rather than hide from them

    he causes the whole game due to accidentally finding Heaven DIO while fleeing in panic from Johnny’s infinite fingernails. And then later actually takes a swing at DIO despite not having a prayer at beating him.

    funny is a villain with a pretty strong sense of character

    he is not an ethical person but has a very VERY strong set of morals he follows

    Dio is a terrific heel because he is an unapologetic heel devoted to making the lives of everybody he dislikes miserable, no matter how petty or how awful the actions involved may be. He is an asshole you want to see get beat. He isn't a magnificent bastard type of asshole, he is far from brilliant, and his villainy is self-centered and transparent. But he has this outlandish enthusiasm to his assholery which is memorable and you want to see this asshole get his comeuppance, which means he is getting the heel heat perfectly.

    Yeah.

    I think the Kira scene that most strongly effected me, and which I think paints a perfect picture of how twisted and horrible he is, is the murder that finally fully breaks his cover to Hayato.

    Seriously, replace Killer Queen with any other weapon (a knife, a gun) and the whole thing is a scenario straight out of any crime drama. He follows someoneone home, breaks into her house, casually murders the person she’s with, and threatens her life to make her perform a service for him (which is definitely for the sexual thrill, given Kira’s whole deal). And then kills her anyway. This is the kind of indulgeance he wants for himself in his quiet life; something he’s done to uncounted people before. That scene is basically perfect at showing the audience that his time in the Kawajiri house has not changed him; he’s every inch the monster Hayato sees him as.

    I do like that there’s originally a relatable angle to Dio’s anger

    He’s mad at the Joestars as a representative of the Haves and Dio greatly resents his status as a Have Not

    He then takes that extremely too far

    Basically Hayato should be an honorary JoJo, not that damn invisible baby

    man, I'm realizing that Older Joseph just shows up to basically steal a baby in Part 4

    It goes even further than that to me, because his view of the world from his experience of being a have-not brought into the world of the haves is that the world is an unequal and unjust place, and therefore the only true rule is self-satisfaction and survival. The Haves are targets for rage and theft, the Have Nots are targets for easy victimization and contempt. He's not interested in making anything more equal for anybody else, or helping anybody, or bringing justice to the plutocrats, he's interested in taking all that he does not have and wishes to have.

    part 1 dio and part 3 DIO are different but similar characters.

    part 1 dio is actually more complex (I mean marginally but still) but part 3 DIO is more fun.
