A serious DIO would probably take any Jotaro out with little issue; the problem is that DIO likes to play around when he thinks he's basically already won, and that is just not what you do when you have the edge over a man like Jotaro. To beat Jotaro, you've gotta keep the pressure on him, don't stop, don't gloat, don't laugh, don't drive a finger into your temple, don't give him a chance to think of a counter strategy, just keep him busy until you get the chance to kill him.

[@cat.2260]

Its funny to me that, even after high-balling Jotaro and DIO into a hypothetical "composite" type of an "end all be all" version of themselves, they still come out as a tie in stats and feats. This just shows how well Araki wrote these two characters perfectly, atleast in my opinion. However, the reason the battle would go in favor of one over the other is not a match of strength, abilities, or potential. (This is spoiler territory for the video so watch the vid first) But consistently throughout any of DIO's defeats or losses comes with him breaking his power ceiling, testing himself out, and losing all because he got *cocky.* He, within every single aspect, atom, and fiber of his being, just cannot stop being a cocky ass. It works as a menacing and threatening character, but it's the one thing working entirely against him too. I fully agree with METAs here that DIO would pretty much, in all intents and purposes, lose due to him once again fucking around and finding out.

[@pikastudios2850]

Star Platinum gets progressively gets stronger during every part, however during each part his durability/stamina decreases. A composite Jotaro would be the same one that could catch MIH and have enough stamina and durability to fight while severely injured, take knives to the body, and just tank hits from the world. I think Jotaro would still be punching holes in Dio but Dio just has more hax, longer time stop, and his vampiric abilities. I do think Jotaro would outsmart Dio multiple times but Dio just wouldn't really die, so while jotaro is durable and has alot of stamina, Dio is just plain almost immortal and the damage would just rack up until he dies. But if its in character, Dio is getting curb stomped by Jotaro.

I'm gonna be honest, in my personal opinion, if DIO doesn't fuck around and in turn find out, he's stomping. A lot of people forget that the 1st Jotaro Vs. DIO fight, Jotaro wasn't alone, he was getting stomped and would've died if it weren't for Polnareff bailing him out. If you give DIO his peak, he has INSANE regeneration, being able to incredibly easily regenerate from getting completely split in half, having absolutely nuts TS growth, going from 5 seconds to 11 seconds in the span of if I remember correctly 10-15 minutes. Not only that, but DIO by far has one of the highest battle IQs, despite him fucking around and finding out in the P3 fight, if DIO gets his dumbassery towards Jotaro specifically out of the way, it's straight up over for Jotaro.

[@animaddie98]

[@1sdani]

Hemispherectomy is a process wherein half of one's brain is removed, used to treat seizures and, I'm not joking, cases where one side of a person's body is weaker than the other. Since humans can survive with only the left or right halves of their brain, a vampire like DIO being able to survive his brain being cut in half straight down the middle isn't anywhere near as far-fetched as it may at first appear.

[@john-tobeymaguirecena]

My head cannon is that Jotaro just chose to not use time stop throughout the time gaps. He probably barely ever had to use it to begin with. a stand user like polnareff trained his Stand for years & enhanced his power through his training. Jotaro trained but probably never had to resort to time stop. So his time stop weakened over the years, using it only for true threats like Kira & Pucci

DIO's ankle in particular was what was weak, because Jotaro intentionally broke it after the road roller explosion in order to incapacitate DIO. Jotaro's actual plan was to make pudding of DIO, bit by bit. DIO just made it easier for Jotaro by having The World throw a kick at Jotaro, so Star Platinum just countered it with a punch and hit the weak spot.

[@HadeTheReal]

Dio might go more seriously if he has the memories of Part 3 Dio and knows that Jotaro can defeat him, but it's unlikely but imagine this comp Dio if you add in au Diego's Biq he would stomp as Diego au fights Seriously and doesn't mess around.

[@tinygreencreature5167]

Part of why DIO lost was because he was being cautious of Jotaro and what his abilities were, instead of just killing him. That seemingly smart cautiousness accidentally led to Jotaro being able to time stop for longer periods of time and get his opportunity to kill DIO. In a rematch where they both remember the previous fight and DIO has his vampiric abilities, I'd imagine DIO would just go for the succ during timestop considering their stands are basically equal but DIOs timestop is longer and DIO himself would be a lot faster and able to blitz Jotaro. Especially since this is a DIO who already knows his abilities and failed to the joestars twice, I don't think he would go into flexing mode again. And considering Jotaro barely survived the first fight and is only being given an experience boost, I don't see him winning against a much more durable, faster, and stronger DIO

[@KannaDHD]

dio lost for being smart, dont forget that once dio learned star platinum's AP can damage/break The World he started using projectiles or ranged weapons for safety (knives, stop sign, road roller) instead of killing him directly, in the end dio had no other way to fight jotaro other than use his stand, he still did use his brain and blinded jotaro but even that wasnt enough and got his stand broken

(before awakened) Dio kind of over exaggates his Stands capabilities given that SP mostly outputs TW in power, even with broken bones, Jotaro could still output Dio in power, the stands are overall equal (unless using awakened TW) Jotaro's rage amp was somehow superior to Dio's vampire abilities.

[@Chad-jy7yr]

@@BloxyCola-gg5 Dio was blitzing jotaro in the fight, so he decided to be cocky again. Every time jotaro outpowered dio except that one time he gave him a concussion. It was because Dio got cocky and held back. At the end Dio lost because his left body was weak. Plus jotaro had huge plot armor

[@CyFiWasTaken]

I don't really know if this factors in very much, but it is stated during the part 3 fight that The World has a range of 10m, so it technically has a small edge on Star Platinum, but since it's stand v stand, it doesn't really seem that important, since damage to a stand is inflicted back on the user (There are some exceptions, swarm stands mostly) Also, my theory for why Dio's time stop was improving so quickly over the fight was because using it so much in a life and death situation put massive strain on his body, but because he's a vampire, he could just recover, now with better time stop stamina, whereas Jotaro for some reason just had decent time stop stamina to begin with, but didn't have as much of an increase in length because he was mostly getting used to the sensation, and couldn't just recover stamina like Dio could but likely could have gotten his time stop decently long if he trained in between parts, which he doesn't seem to do between parts 3 and 4 (Given the statement near the beginning when he ran into Koichi and said that he could only stop time for a fraction of a second), potentially training with it between parts 4 and 6, at least to the level where he can keep it up long enough to guarantee a win in most fights

[@absentchromosomes]

I like the video, it’s comprehensible and near accurate. Though, I do have some questions/counters: 1. Space Ripper Stingy Eyes. Sure, Jotaro can dodge em, but also there have been instances of The World out maneuvering Star Platinum, and vice versa. I’m not saying Jotaro cannot dodge the beams, but he WILL get hit by them eventually. It can cleanly cut through a person, and I believe can do serious damage to Star Platinum. Also, it shares similar behaviors with Superman’s Heat vision (minus the heat factor and energy shit). 2. Vaporization Freezing Technique (Freezing Touch). This is a mixture between a passive and a manipulated ability DIO has. I believe in Part 1, when Zepelli attacks Dio, he gets frozen, while Dio was paying attention to Johnathan (could be wrong tho). Anyways, the real point is that, if Star Platinum or Jotaro hits Dio or hypothetically touches The World, then he gets frozen right? Is it game over at that point or can it be used as a combo extender? I think it can do serious damage also, and if done correctly, could kill him. I don’t see Jotaro realistically countering this 7/10 times. 3. Personality. Sure, Dio has arrogance, and sure, he died because of it, however, I don’t think that would 100% be his downfall. The only reason why Enraged Jotaro was able to do significant damage to Awakened Dio was because he still had that human side to him, thanks to the weakness of Jonathan’s body. If we’re talking about max power Dio, as in fully vampire, then I don’t think Enraged Jotaro could do equal or, as you said, 2-4x more power. I think Dio’s personality is moreso a handicap than his death. IDK, I don’t think Jotaro wins, simply because of Dio’s busted abilities, regardless of personality factor, but I digress.

[@Joker_Zz]

I don't think The World would be able to freeze to the touch since a Stand probably doesn't even have body heat, and Star Platinum probably wouldn't get frozen cuz stand

[@absentchromosomes]

@@Joker_Zz Hear me out: William Zeppeli in the Anime and also the manga iirc (episode 3 iirc) mentioned how Vampiric Energy and Hamon Energy are the same type of energy, but they cancel each other out. Reason I mention this, is because in Part 3, Joseph projects his hamon onto Hermit Purple. Now, if Vampirism and Hamon are the same type of energy, as Zepelli stated, then its reasonable to assume that The World can project vampiric powers, thus when Star Platinum touches The World or DIO, freeze touch is valid. EDIT: To be more specific with the scene, I believe its the scene at the river during Jonathan’s training when Zepelli explains this.

Good video, worth subscribing to!! I mean Jotaro did trick Dio many times in their fight so even with a possible longer time stop; Jotaro would still cause Dio to fall for a trick or likely aim the fight to somewhere that the sun will shine, distracting Dio for that single second and then the fight is over.

[@GhettoPeach]

Jotaro was the perfect type of fighter to go against Dio, he is a gritty brawler who can outsmart and beat down practically any character in the show. He had no problems with fighting dirty, Jonathan was definitely his foil. I don't think there was a single point in the DIO v Jotaro fight where Jotaro thought he was going to lose, He knew he was faster and strong enough to outstrike DIO to the point that Dio was scared to even get close to Jotaro, at least until he had consumed Josephs blood but even after that he exercised caution and used a road roller. Rage Amped Jotaro is debatable the smartest fighter in the series, and I genuinely see him being in the top 5 strongest characters while like this. Other than Giorno, I don't think any other character could have had a chance to beat DIO in his prime with Joseph's blood, even bringing in characters from part 7 and 8, WoU isn't going to put down DIO before he stops time and kills Tooru, and we already saw Johnny vs Diego, so imagine a much stronger, faster version who can stop time exponentially longer and fly... Basically, if you can't stop time or cancel it out like GER, you can't contend with a vampire that can spam it. Jotaro had everything he needed to win, same ability, slightly stronger and faster, and unbelievably intelligent.

[@macnmemes1131]

WoU would find a way to win in my opinion. Calamity is another part of the jjba universe like fate and logic, so something would mess up with the timestop, be it a bystander, vehicle, or dio himself. Funny Valentine as would win if he can get LT off and summon a DIO clone.

[@GhettoPeach]

@@macnmemes1131 WoU is unbelievably over rated, and it’s not beyond logic, as it follows logic. I don’t buy WoU being able to get past regen or time stop, especially in time to save tooru, it never shows that a calamity could activate during the absence of time. There’s also the fact that it follows intent, and as soon as Dio understands this he can abuse the hell out of it. Tooru is dead the second dio sees him. And love train could win if Valentine plays his cards right, but he never does, in character he fights along the line of love train and peaks out of the barrier to fight. This is terrible when your opponent can stop time and kill you instantly, which is how you have to kill him. So I think dio would take majority over D4C:LT

I'm going to have to disagree simply because with DIO testing his powers, that tends to come when he gets them, they're new, or he's not experienced with them. Like you said, in Part 3 he didn't mess around... until he got amped, a whole new level for him. If DIO starts out with them, starts out at the top of his game with only his Time Stop growing in length, there's nothing new for him to test, and he's more likely to not default to his old ways.

[@EvilParagon4]

You could argue he might start playing with combo powers. Like, ice touch in time stop, idk.

[@fangthefabulous1132]

My only question is that, if Dio starts using longer and longer time stops, and decides not to do all out attacks, can Jotaro quickly counter within a split second, and still have most of his 5 seconds? Also, while I don't think it can get as high as Dio's, probably not even ever getting to 11 seconds, I'm not entirely convinced Jotaro would be hard capped at 5. I feel like if the fight goes on long enough, he could reach 7. Which Dio could reach 20 something, but still.

[@caesargold3695]

5 is the hard cap for humans because any more stresses the heart. Even the Diego Brando who had The World was hard capped at 5 because he was a human.

one small correction : dio at his peak had 9 sec of ts only and jotaro stopped time at the 9th sec mark, so dio could move for two seconds in jotaro's time stop till the 11th sec.

[@SuperDababy2]

you know that in order to move in time stop you have to use your time stop, right? they aren't different things and the reason DIO got only 2 seconds is because those were his 2 seconds left from his 11 seconds

[@rmg480]

Thing is, in a fight with two people who can stop time, you really have to get into how conjoined time stops work. We saw in the series that you can use time stop within another time stop, making both parties move in stopped time until the first person's time stop ends, and then the second person's time stop continues until the duration expires. We also see Jotaro being able to move once within DIO's time stop to stop his stopped time attacks, but never afterwards when he had already moved once, except for the time where they used their overlapping time stops. Does this mean that you can only move once within another person's time stop without using your own? Does that mean that Jotaro was using a one second or split second time stop during DIO's time stop to defend himself? Does THIS mean that you can split your time stop limit in small parts within another person's time stop? Or can you only fully activate your time stop continually at a time (meaning no activating and deactivating the ability). Because if you can activate and deactivate time stop within another person's time stop, then you could just wait for their time stop attack, activate time stop, defend or counter, and deactivate time stop, only depleting a second or a split second of your own time stop while the other person's is continually brining through. In this case, Jotaro might win by limiting himself to counter attack until DIO's time stop expires, and then he can use the rest of his time stop during DIO's cool down to finish him. If you can only expend the full amount or less once before cool down, then the first person to stop time loses, which would also most likely mean Jotaro would win, since DIO might be more easily taunted into using it, and Jotaro would be more careful knowing this. Otherwise, they might just use time stop for utility, like moving in the air, dodging projectiles and obstacles and the such, as using it offensively would be rendered useless by each other's time stop. TL;DR: Time stopping powers are too vague and need too much explaining to give any meaningful scaling. Also, Jotaro stomps on most scenarios (as much as I hate that).

[@rmg480]

P.S.: A three way brawl with three time stop users, NOW THAT would be interesting.

[@Joker_Zz]

Judging by the final ts in Part 3, it seems that if Character A (who has a 9 second TS), stops time, Character B (who has a 5 second TS) then gets to move 5 seconds within the A's TS, and after A's TS ends, B's TS will have recharged. Also, they should theoretically be able to split their TS resistance into several parts as long as they stop moving after starting during the enemy TS.

@@Joker_Zz That's the thing, it sure may seem like that, but it is never directly explained or even shown beyond the last timestop, everything else might make a lot of sense, but it doesn't stop being speculative.

Theres also another bit where DIO is playing things too cautiously too… he knows that the Joestars are very cunning and resilent, so he doesnt want to make the same mistakes he did last time. It was both his arrogance and his cautious nature that cost him IMO

[@diegokoipera3464]

I think you underestimated space ripper stingy eyes, because its litterally an unblockable attack, dio could just use this when jotaro is about to finish him, and, because he never knew about any of his vampiric abilities (aside from regeneration) i dont think he could be able to just dodge it, and dio could one shot him, like he did with jonnathan, but this is my opinion. Loved the video btw

[@sirjoesphjoestar8361]

just side note, jotaro and dio can get atleast lowballed to multi-continent via statements from white album who said he could freeze the seas and jojoveller, where star platinum is described as the STRONGEST stand (context difference between GER), therefore making jotaro atleast multi-continent

You know what my dumbest theory about jotaro is Star platinums main ability isn't only just time stopping it's copying the ability of opponents like sharingan like remember when jotaro said star platinum has really have accuracy and precision like how every sharingan user has when they activate it and how kakashi with sharingan copy any ninjutsu with his precision with sharingan and that's how jotaro managed to copy the world's time stop ability and how Dio was flying cause he's vampire we haven't seen any other stand user flying without their stand throwing or lifting them in air or using some ability but jotaro was able to fly with matching his speed of flying but he's only human right

[@regionfuego6]

I seriously don't understand where does the idea of DIO being arrogant and foolish in his fights comes from. Against Jotaro he was pulling all the right moves he could have done with the information he possessed. He even tried to decapitate Jotaro's body just to be sure he was dead, and this was after shooting at the corpse just to be extra sure it was dead. Sure, he was gloating after taking the blood from Joseph, but you know what else he was doing during that? Checking how much he could stop time now. It was the moment he could start stoping time for 9 seconds and he tested it during the gloating. Honestly, DIO should have won. Jotaro won because he somehow managed to crawl under the road roller with 3 broken bones and was capable to stop time consecutively even thought he hadn't done it before.

Dio healed puccis foot using his vampire blood similar to how he revived vanilla ice, however he didnt use enough to turn him into a vampire

[@KyoryuDiabolos]

Dio’s character is why Pucci was able to outsmart Jotaro twice. He knew what Dio did wrong and played into Jotaro wanting to protect his daughter. Not factoring in fate, Dio cannot win against Jotaro because their stand abilities are the same but one of them knows when to use them wisely. Made in Heaven on the other hand is a hard counter to Star Platinum. It became faster than anything else and limited how long time stop lasts. Pucci also used his speed with knives in the opposite way Jotaro was faced in while he was in time stop. Since inanimate things were also moving at insane speeds those knives would have moved faster too. It took a kid not bound to the Joestar bloodline to defeat him. Even if you count Eyes of Heaven Dio, based on how he acted, his universe’s stardust crusaders most likely died probably before they could figure out how The World’s ability worked. In that game they bring up the same “it’s the same type of stand as Star Platinum” element again and that Dio was surprised it was which to me implied he never fought his Jotaro that figured out he could stop time as well and died whether it happened in the streets or while they were in the mansion. I don’t think his regeneration matters which Dio it is, if his stand is destroyed, Dio dies due to the standard rules to how most stands worked in part 3.

[@somerandomguy7325]

I do also have a question on my mind: if Jotaro were to go up against his OVA version, which would win?

[@strikermodel]

The body manipulation one is a bit easier to explain than you think. DIO, as a vampire, can make his body one with any living thing he impales. This is how vampires drain blood in JoJo. He actually makes extensive use of this in part 3. The flesh buds, regenerating himself, ect. Also, DIO was still weak in part 3, which was why he needed more Jostar blood. He might not have even been able to use his Icey touch at all because of this. He only had his full vampire powers back for. . .what. . .4 minutes before dieing? During that time his hubris and obsession with learning his stand's time stop limit cost him his life. There were MANY times he could have instantly won and just didn't for this reason alone.

In this rematch if dio had the memory of the first fight between them, I'd say dio would win only because he'd be less cocky and likely to fuck up. You said it best at the end of the video, but I still wanna say that dio could win quite easily actually, if he just took jotaro seriously and didn't fuck around to find out. But dio being dio, will get cocky somewhere. There's just a chance that if dio in this rematch had the memory of the first fight, he'd learn from his mistakes and not repeat them.

[@oWarlock360o]

The ice powers make sense since it is similar to stopping time. Removing movement from something freezes it.

[@ImWorldwideLevel]

The other possible reality is that the Composite Dio knows that he lost to Jotaro already,so instead of testing himself again he would just destroy Jotaro,if he just decides to not test himself this time(like what he planned to do)and if there's no way for him to get stronger,I'd say Dio is the more likely winner,respect your opinion tho

[@johnny2x47]

Dio still had the ripper eyes when he transferred his head to Johnathan body. But the reason he stop using his vampiric powers because he saw the World as the pinnacle of all things and no use for it.

What I would want to see happening is.. ZA WARUDO! From Dio, and after Jotaro sees his Time Stop is over, Jotaro says "Star Platinum! ZA WARUDO!!", Dio looking so damn surprised, and then Jotaro ORAORAing him while time is stopped, and then Dio getting up, realizing they have the same exact Stand. The one thing I'd want to see in a rematch regardless of who wins.

As for the head thing I’m pretty sure they mean the brain instead of the actual entire head as when DIO was stabbed by polnareff he said right after “If you had just been a second earlier you could’ve slashed that sword around and destroyed my brain” or something like that so turn that to mush and hey free win 👍

[@samelthecamel4851]

People often think that Star Platinum got weaker over the parts when thats simply not true, stands never get weaker; technically they can get stronger as seen with Koichis Echoes Act 3 in part 4 compared to part 5. The main argument is that Jotaro Part 6 stats went down when simply it was a misunderstanding, his stands stats are the same, it just showed "Star Platinum The Worlds Stats" which gave him a complete development which just means that Jotaro learnt everything there is and his "Durability" or staying dropped to an E. His staying being an E is just showing that his time stop is short, albeit 5 seconds isnt short when you stop time but think about King Crimson who had an E in "Durability/Staying" despite having 10 seconds of time erasure. TLDR Star Platinum was peak form in part 6 with the same strength and the longest timestop.

[@daleford9157]

Hmm, idk. What could Jotaro do if he was frozen solid? If SP break him free, his body shatters. But if Jotaro knows about these older vampire abilities, he would probably have a counter

[@Megukagi]

considering Jotaro could only stop time for a fraction of a second when he first used it, and later went to whole seconds, his time stop could go one of two ways: 1) he would grow just like dio in during the fight, potentially being able to keep up with dio and keep it even 2) considering he was growing in the span of ONE FIGHT against dio (while not reaching 5 seconds till later iirc), he might be able to grow even faster if really tested, something that wouldn't always happen in his adventures off screen, but would happen against a high tier threat like dio.

[@Blaedin1337]

Funny enough even in the jojo games, more specifically Eyes Over Heaven, DIO Over Heaven does in fact gain new abilities, starts testing them out, leaving an opening for Jotaro to say "so its the same type of stand as star platinum" which ultimately kills that version of DIO.

[@aarcadeee]

[@jocoolshow]

Didn’t watch yet, but if DIO has all his vampiric abilities and isn’t nerfed, and had knowledge that Jotaro has timestop, I don’t see how Jotaro with his 5 seconds max of timestop wins unless he gets access to his canonical exponential rage amp which basically let him one shot The World. And even then I don’t see how he survives DIO’s vampire hax + longer timestop

[@AjinoARC]

the real question is... Joshu vs any fictional character (spoilers: Joshu wins)

[@cinnabarmanx4214]

Also I really gotta disagree that Jotaro uses his time stop smarter just because he had more good results with it, DIO was incredibly smart with his time stop as well it’s just that Jotaro being able to move in time stop limited his options much more. Everytime Jotaro uses time stop meanwhile is against someone with no counter to it, except for Made in Heaven, which as you said, resulted in Jotaro losing. So it’s not that Jotaro is a better time stop user it’s just that both couldn’t get around a counter to their time stop.
