02Appearance
This form of DIO has ghostly pale skin with a light purple hue. He is tall and has a muscular build. Unlike his main world counterpart, this variant of DIO sports much longer hair, which extends to his waist and frames his face with chin-length bangs. At the back, his hair splits in the middle, flowing outward behind his shoulders like wings.↗
On his forehead, he wears a broad golden headpiece in the shape of a star's upper half. Below his eyes are diagonal golden facial markings with the repeating word "DIO" on them, which run down his cheeks. His headpiece and facial markings bear a resemblance to the patterns that Enrico Pucci 's hair forms into after he fuses with The Green Baby.↗
03Personality
Like the original DIO, Heaven-Attained DIO is consistently manipulative and violently domineering, and repeatedly shows a lack of conscience and empathy. DIO's new ability to overwrite reality itself only furthers his boundless ambition and love for power. His narcissism is evident in his appearance, his name proudly displayed all across his face and body.↗
DIO uses anything or anyone he can in order to further his goals, disregarding any kind of morality or handicap. DIO also enjoys being in a position of power, and repeatedly states how great he feels being in a dominating position. On the contrary, DIO cannot tolerate anyone standing up to him or rivaling him in power, and becomes enraged and deeply disturbed at the thought.↗
04Abilities
Stand
Heaven-Attained DIO's evolved Stand, The World Over Heaven, has the insurmountable ability to overwrite reality itself, in addition to its former ability to stop time. By striking something using his Stand's fists, DIO is able to completely rewrite or eradicate its very existence. In addition, the Stand also retains the original The World 's incredible strength, speed, and precision.↗
Personal
DIO displays several physical traits typical of vampires, including superhuman strength and immunity to the natural process of aging. However, due to the limitless power of his Stand, it is unknown how much of his superhuman ability is derived from his power to overwrite himself, nor whether the usual weaknesses of vampires continue to apply to him.↗
05Story
SPOILERS
Background
Heaven-Attained DIO is a version of DIO from a parallel world in which the events of Stardust Crusaders ended with Jotaro 's defeat and the annihilation of the Joestar group. Free to pursue his original goal of obtaining heaven, DIO collected the souls of the 36 sinners required alongside Enrico Pucci, evolving his Stand into The World Over Heaven and attaining godlike power. Now unrivaled and unstoppable, DIO proceeded to conquer the world, turning it into a boundless and empty ocean.↗
Funny Valentine eventually arrived in Heaven-Attained DIO's world while attempting to escape from the infinite rotation inflicted upon him by Johnny Joestar. DIO used the power of his Stand to remove the infinite spin from Valentine; in return, Valentine told DIO about the Saint's Corpse and the multitude of parallel worlds branching from its world, DIO's being among them.↗
Eyes of Heaven
After obtaining the spine of the Saint's Corpse, DIO sends his followers to battle the Joestar family and their allies, all the while waiting in his own world. When Enya the Hag signals that the Joestar party has collected the other corpse parts, DIO summons them to his realm, where he easily overwhelms both Gold Experience Requiem and Tusk ACT4, stealing all but one of the corpse parts.↗
In the meantime, Pucci reports Funny Valentine's deception to DIO, the president having informed Jotaro of his plan and the properties of parallel worlds. Confronting Valentine over his treachery, DIO pursues Valentine through countless parallel worlds, eventually succeeding in cornering him. Not wanting to waste such a powerful Stand user, DIO offers Valentine forgiveness in exchange for his renewed loyalty. Valentine refuses, and is swiftly erased from existence.↗
Jotaro and his group re-obtain their lost corpse parts, defeat Enrico Pucci, and confront DIO once more in Cairo. While fighting Jotaro and Johnny, DIO touches Coco Jumbo with his Stand, allowing him to overwrite and banish the Joestars' allies to other locations in space and time. DIO eventually seemingly loses, but he quickly negates the damage dealt to him, allowing Jotaro to deduce his Stand's ability.↗
Absorbing the 36 souls of the Joestar group along with the completed Saint's Corpse, DIO begins to rewrite the world in his own image once more before fatally wounding Jotaro. However, Jotaro then nullifies his own injury, his Stand having evolved through the realization of DIO's evolution. Jotaro and Jolyne make a final stand against DIO, but their efforts are for naught, as DIO heals his own wounds once more.↗
The newly-empowered DIO moves to finish Jotaro off, but the latter unexpectedly reveals the bracelets of the main world's DIO, which fuse with Heaven-Attained DIO's and destroy his arms. With DIO unable to overwrite reality until his arms heal, Jotaro decides to wait until his enemy has recovered to deliver the finishing blow. DIO does not share his sense of honor, and instead uses his own blood to blind Jotaro.↗↗
