Dio Brando (ディオ・ブランドー Dio Burandō?), também conhecido simplesmente por DIO, é um personagem de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, uma série de mangás japonesa escrita e ilustrada por Hirohiko Araki. Ele é o principal antagonista das partes 1 e 3, Phantom Blood e Stardust Cruzaders, respectivamente, aparecendo pela primeira vez no capítulo de estreia da serie, "Dio, o Invasor" (侵略者ディオ, Shinryakusha Dio), publicado dentro da revista Weekly Shōnen Jump no ano de 1987.[1] Mais tarde, Dio retorna como um poderoso vampiro e como o usuário do The World (ザ・ワールド, Za Wārudo), um Stand capaz de parar o tempo por alguns instantes.

De origem humilde e filho de um pai alcoólatra e extremamente abusivo, Dio possui além de uma vasta astúcia, também um desejo insaciável por poder, não se importando com os custos e formas de obtê-lo. Algum tempo após sua morte, foi descoberto que vilão também possuía diversos filhos ilegítimos, sendo um deles Giorno Giovanna, o protagonista da parte 5, Golden Wind.

No universo alternativo apresentado durante a sétima parte, Steel Ball Run, um personagem semelhante chamado Diego Brando (ディエゴ・ブランドー, Diego Burandō) aparece como um antagonista menor.

Creation and design[editar | editar código-fonte]

When beginning the series, Dio is the character that Araki looked forward to drawing the most. He also revealed that he had not thought up a weakness for the character, and that it was difficult to come up with a way for Dio to be defeated. In regard to Dio's characterization, Araki said that he was inspired by FBI profiling of serial killers, admitting that in a way he thinks they must be incredibly strong to be able to commit the heinous crimes that they do. How serial killers control their victims through psychological manipulation interested Araki as well, a trait similar to how Dio uses his charisma to ensure his followers to do his bidding.[2] The author intended to characterize Dio as unapologetically baleful in his pursuit of power, with his literal abandonment of his humanity reflecting his figurative and emotional one.[3] Araki wanted his name to sound cool next to JoJo's, so he chose Dio, the Italian word for God.[2]

According to Araki, Dio's physical appearance is inspired by Rutger Hauer's character Roy Batty from the 1982 film Blade Runner.[4] Throughout all his adulthood depictions, Dio possesses a towering, muscular build as impressive as that of the series' first three titular protagonists. As a vampire, he maintains messy, shoulder-length blond hair, and his various designs all feature clothing that prominently display the color gold.

Once Dio fuses his head to the body of Jonathan Joestar, the first protagonist of JoJo, he abandons his pattern of ornate clothes in favor of simple jackets, tanktops, bracelets, and pants that continue to emphasize the color gold, while simultaneously contrasting this with the rather outlandish wardrobe choices of gold-colored elf shoes and a bright green headband, belt, and knee pads bearing heart symbols. Prior to his full reveal in Stardust Crusaders, Dio appears topless during various interludes in the shadows of his mansion, his face remaining unseen until his reunion with Jean-Pierre Polnareff. After consuming the blood of Joseph Joestar, Jonathan's grandson and the second protagonist of JoJo, Dio abandons his jacket and accessories while his spiked blonde hair becomes more prominent; his facial expressions become more manic in nature; and his lips gain a dark coloration. Merchandise often refers to this appearance as "High Dio", in reference to him describing this state as "the ultimate high".

Dio's mannerisms, such as his frequent cries of Predefinição:Nihongo4 and "WRYYY", have yielded several memes and other popular culture references.[5][6] It has become popular to the point where the word "Muda" is used untranslated by English voice actors in the OVA and anime, but only as a battle cry.
