* CultOfPersonality: In some unknown ways, Dio created a (apparent if Part 4 is to be believed alongside 6) extensive following from all parts of the world. Joseph himself says that Dio's charisma is comparable to the most notorious tyrants of history and he has quite a sizable amount of true believers: Johngalli A., N'Doul, Gray Fly, Mariah, Enya, Pet Shop, but the ones that seem the most dedicated are Vanilla Ice and Enrico Pucci. The former basically being obedient to the point of loyal self-destruction while the later basically proclaims he loves Dio as he would love god. The vampire offers both money, stand powers and intimacy to all those that interest him. He also brooks no failure nor hesitation on doing his will. With Demonic Heartbreak (which is dubiously canon) offering insight on the fact that he psychologically conditions his followers into frightful obedience.

** Everything Jonathan was, Dio is the antithesis to. And their legacies have opposed each other throughout series. Jonathan is a dorky NiceGuy AllLovingHero born in an [[SpoiledSweet aristocratic family]], while Dio is an [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious evil since birth]] CardCarryingVillain born to the lower class. Jonathan wants to be "the perfect gentleman" and is willing to risk himself for strangers; Dio seeks to exploit and manipulate everyone for his own goals, culminating in his plan to take over the Joestar household (who ''willingly adopted him'' when his father died). As Jonathan and Dio gain supernatural powers, Jonathan wields [[ThePowerOfTheSun Hamon]] to fight [[AnIcePerson vampire]] Dio. Their appearances are further contrasted: Jonathan has TaremeEyes and [[BlueIsHeroic a blue shirt]] and is built like a {{Juggernaut}}, while Dio has TsurimeEyes, [[RedOniBlueOni red clothing]] and, in the anime, is more slender than Jonathan.
** He's also this to Jotaro. DIO is a [[EvilIsHammy hammy]], immortal vampire who revels in kicking dogs (figuratively and literally) with a smirk, presents himself with a superficial image of charisma that's enough to make others fanatically loyal to him, while he himself cares nothing for them in return. Jotaro is an unforgivingly stoic JapaneseDelinquent who starts his introduction telling his mother to shut the hell up, and doesn't bother with politeness for anyone else either. Beneath that, however, Jotaro ''does'' care for others, has a great sense of justice, and is remarkably more intelligent than what you would expect from a delinquent.

* SimpleYetAwesome: Compared to the esoteric, reality-bending properties displayed by other time-manipulating Stands like King Crimson or Killer Queen Bites the Dust, The World's TimeStandsStill is far less complex, but just as potent: leaving any opponent that lacks a similar ability completely incapable of defending themselves for 5 full seconds against its SuperStrength.
* TheSociopath: He's got a colossal god complex, can be superficially charming to manipulate others, and is very prone to committing random acts of horrific cruelty purely on a whim. Speedwagon even outright calls him evil from birth. However, it is potentially subverted if his twisted relationships with Jonathan and Pucci did have a level of sincerity to them.

* EvilMentor: Enrico Pucci seems to see DIO as someone who encouraged his growth as a person and DIO likewise seems to speak of him about Stand abilities in their meetings, so the feeling is a unexpected combination of this and genuine camraderie.

* AimlesslySeekingHappiness: In ''Stone Ocean'', Dio seems to imply that his plots in Phantom Blood were fueled by the desire to be happy. This doesn't excuse all his actions nor it may even be a innocent admission, as he [[{{AmbiguousSituation}} may or may not have been manipulating his second in command in the first place.]] Even so, this is the only time were he seems to genuinely reflect on his past actions, but it is clear he doesn't really feel remorse, more along the lines of regret that he didn't succeed nor brought him true satisfaction.

* BigEgoHiddenDepths: DIO, even with his god complex, his apparent personal cult, and his braggadocio regarding opponents, seems to have changed as a person after his first defeat. Though he shows his introspection outwardly to his inner circle and other minions, he seems to do it more as a theatrical display, or just to preach to the choir. On the other hand, when he speaks with Pucci, he opens himself far more than anyone he has before since his mother. He implies that the previous schemes he did failed and didn't bring him the happiness he wanted. He confesses he sees the priest as the only person who'd calm him and shows respect to him becoming a priest in the first place (this is the same man who'd casually destroyed a metal holy cross just to show holy objects offer him no harm). And most tellingly of all, he [[OocIsSeriousBusiness apologizes]] to him after his loyalty test, even after literally forcing Pucci's hand to remove his Stand disc. This is the same man who has a [[ItsAllAboutMe huge ego]] and a deep refusal to die, but he did it nonetheless. This shows that, behind the bluster, DIO is either a far greater manipulator than he is commonly shown, willing to take risks on his own life, or he [[OnlyFriend genuinely cared about Pucci]]. Alongside the fact that, despite desiring all of the power in the world, what he truly wishes may just be a happy, eternal life.
