After becoming a vampire, DIO sets out to conquer the world with an army of zombies at his command, bringing a lifelong feud between himself and his brother by adoption, Jonathan Joestar, to a head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe later becomes a Stand user wielding the all-powerful The World, and is responsible for setting many of the series's major events in motion. His legacy and influence persists throughout the first six parts of JoJo, with many characters either being related to him or inspired by his charisma and malice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen he first arrives at the Joestar Mansion as a young child, DIO wears a typical formal boy's attire from that era; a blue coat, white dress shirt, a tie, suspenders, breeches, and a pair of striped socks. He has blond hair, green eyes, and three moles on the lobe of his left ear. When boxing, he wears a shirt with folded sleeves, overalls, and boxing gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAside from replacing his coat with a vest, as an adult, DIO's attire doesn't change much. However, his overall physique and height increase significantly. After Jonathan sets out to find the antidote for his father's illness, DIO dons a top hat and a new, flamboyant-looking cloak that has feathers jutting out of the shoulders. DIO undergoes drastic physical changes upon using the Stone Mask to transform himself into a vampire. His formerly clean hair becomes messy and unkempt, his eyes become sharper and adopt a darker outline, and he develops fangs. His clothing also changes quite a bit after his first battle with Jonathan; most noticeable is the scarf around his neck. In his penultimate confrontation with Jonathan, he wears an ornate dual-coloured shirt and matching breeches, a large pair of boots, vambraces, and two suspenders attached to a band around his waist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe World\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIO's Stand is The World, a close-ranged Stand with comparable if not superior strength and speed to Jotaro Kujo's Star Platinum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout a year after gaining his Stand, DIO discovered its signature ability of stopping time. At first, he could only do this for a very short amount of time, but by the end, he is able to stop time for a maximum of 9 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is implied that this duration would further increase if not for DIO's death. When stopping time, DIO gives the impression that he is teleporting or otherwise moving at impossible speeds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving had ample time to rest and train with The World, DIO is shown to have been thorough in exploring his Stand's abilities; it was during an experimental session during which DIO sought to test the limit of The World's speed and power that he discovered its time-stop ability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo give himself an advantage, DIO keeps The World's ability a closely-guarded secret, only using it at key moments to psych out an opponent and perform incomprehensible sneak attacks. He only entrusts his Stand's secret to a few confidants such as Enya the Hag, who he will not hesitate to eliminate as soon as a remote chance of informing his enemies of his power appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, as soon as the Joestar group understands his ability, DIO drops his former secrecy and shows a great degree of confidence in the supremacy of his power, ultimately not caring about his secret due to his conviction that no one can overcome it. Thus, he begins to liberally stop time against Jotaro. Thanks to the free time-frame of action granted by The World, DIO is able to instantly reposition himself to avoid attacks or set himself up to attack, kill enemies instantly, or even displace his opponents to toy with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIO demonstrates a high degree of control over The World, using it to battle Jotaro's Star Platinum to a stand-off, but showing superior technique in hand to hand combat by using low kicks and feints to outmatch Star Platinum. However, his vampiric constitution allows DIO to disregard any of The World's defensive uses, as he can easily regenerate any wounds he sustains by sucking the blood of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Twin Pack model kit includes 460 pieces and is a Level 3 build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox Contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Dio model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x The World model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kawada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646866022591,"sku":"NBCC-269","price":28.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0355\/2919\/5651\/files\/NBCC-269Dio_TheWorldBothModels.png?v=1779135710","url":"https:\/\/smallforge.com.au\/products\/dio-the-world-jojos-bizarre-adventure-nbcc-269","provider":"Small Forge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
