Summary

Diavolo is the main antagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo, the fifth part of the long-running manga

Born after a two-year-long pregnancy in an all-women's prison, Diavolo is a mysterious man whose his entire life next to unknown as he prefers it to be. At the age of 19, he excavated and discovered the Stand Arrows, where he would go on to sell most of them and become responsible for the proliferation of Stand Users in the world including that of the main antagonists of other parts such as DIO and Yoshikage Kira. Living an extremely secretive life as a nonperson, he is the "Boss" of the gang Passione, which corrupts Naples by dealing drugs in the streets, making him the superior of Giorno Giovanna & Bruno Buccellati, and their greatest enemy. Diavolo is also the father of Trish Una and commands Buccellati's Gang to bring her to him while keeping her safe from the traitorous La Squadra Esecuzioni. In 2001, he assigns Bruno Buccellati and his squad to safely deliver his daughter, Trish Una, to his location - so that he may kill her and overcome his past.

Diavolo is also secretly the alternate personality of Vinegar Doppio and is a Stand User who wields the incredibly powerful King Crimson. Doppio is The Boss' younger, more innocent and eccentric underboss. As a member of Passione, he thinks of himself as the most loyal subordinate to Diavolo, but in reality, the two are separate souls inhabiting the same body. During Vento Aureo, he helps Diavolo to act and move around undetected. It is ambiguous whether Doppio is truly a Stand User, but he is allowed to partly wield King Crimson in battle.

Powers and Stats

Dimensionality: 3D

Threat Level: Cub physically, Demon- with Stand

Powers and Abilities:

• Diavolo and King Crimson have the following abilities of Stand Physiology

• Body Control (The Boss's body contains two souls, which can shift between Diavolo to Doppio and vice-versa; Said shift comes in with the body shifting in both age and appearance between the two])

• Time Manipulation (Can erase time up to ten seconds of time, essentially "skipping" the process of any and all actions and leaving only the effect)

• Precognition (Epitaph allows Diavolo and Doppio to see ten seconds into the future, allowing them to foresee immediate future events such as where bullets will try to hit him and where objects will be at the exact moment)

Physical Strength: Human level physically (Upon transforming from Doppio to Diavolo, was able to lift a man up by the neck with one hand). Multi Block level with King Crimson

Attack Potency: Human physically. Multi Block with King Crimson (An overwhelmingly powerful Stand with outstanding strength and is stated to be First-Class in power. Severely maimed Silver Chariot. Can completely overpower and manipulate Spice Girl casually even being capable of punching through Spice Girl in one hit while angered. Threatened to tear off Sticky Finger's arm, punched out Bruno's abdomen and further nearly bisected him. Punched off Gold Experience's arm and later smashed open Gold Experience's head in one blow, but it was unaffected because of Gold Experience Requiem abandoning its previous body like a shell)

Durability: Street physically. Multi Block with King Crimson (Can easily tank blows from Sticky Fingers before erasing them. Punched through Spice Girl while they were both possessing the same body, thus damaging King Crimson too, who only slightly bled from its mouth)

Speed: Likely FTLx reactions (Reacted to scalpels launched by Metallica). FTLx with King Crimson (Boasts first-class speed, which should make it equal to the likes of Star Platinum, Crazy Diamond, and The World. Though speed is rarely an issue for it due to erasing time, it can react to Silver Chariot while it was mid-attack, erase time, and quickly gouge out Silver Chariot's eye and continue attacking Polnareff before he could defend himself. Polnareff stated that he only barely dodged King Crimson once and that whether or not Giorno could defend against it is a matter of luck, with Giorno barely having enough time to react and failed to defend himself against King Crimson's blow. Moved Spice Girl fast enough to dodge a strike from Sticky Fingers)

Intelligence: Genius; Naturally, as the leader of the extremely successful and powerful gang Passione, Diavolo is a cunning man with a knack for strategy. For the sole purpose of maintaining his anonymity no matter what, Diavolo has eradicated nearly all the traces of his past, and acts to make sure that he never reveals himself when he can help it to deal with his subordinates. Diavolo is also very observant, seeing the true nature of Chariot Requiem and disabling it himself, while also keeping track of Buccellati's gang. In combat, he makes brutal and simplistic use of his Stand, taking no chances and erasing time to deliver lethal blows without delay while also making clever usage of Epitaph to foresee the immediate future and making plans on the fly to act accordingly to prepare himself. He's competent at thinking on his feet as well, taking any opportunity he can when they arise and exploiting his surroundings to dispatch of Risotto Nero.

Stamina: Very high (While Doppio was out, he repeatedly lost enough iron from his body to have several objects created out of it during his battle with Risotto Nero, getting physically weaker yet still functional in battle, and managing to escape Bruno Buccellati and his allies afterward. Was also able to maintain himself analytically and use his abilities in battle and afterwards)

Range: Standard Melee Range physically. King Crimson has an effective manifestation range of about 2-3 meters (Ranked E in range, with it noting one of its weaknesses is a poor effective range with a lethal range of just two meters and a maximum of three meters), Standard Melee Range physically, Far Higher with projectiles (Tossed scissors at Nero, cutting his foot off and threw scalpels at Bruno from nearly a hundred meters away), Universal with Time Erase (Range-Irrelevant Ability that affects time of the whole world)

Weakness: Standard Stand Physiology weaknesses. Diavolo has a deep desire to never let anyone know and discover his identity, which makes him avoid fights containing a number of enemies, even those his Stand may be more than enough to take them out. Epitaph's forecasts cannot be avoided, though they can be dealt with using the knowledge they grant. Epitaph's forecasts can also be misinterpreted even by the user, as Diavolo and Doppio showed in their encounters with Nero and Buccellati. It takes a few seconds for Diavolo to regain control over his body.

Noteworthy Techniques and Abilities

King Crimson: Diavolo's Stand, a perpetually scowling humanoid Stand that operates at close ranges. It possesses incredible strength, befitting of a close-range Stand, and rather than deliver barrages of punches, it typically finishes off opponents with only a single, overwhelmingly powerful blow.

• Time Erasure
• Epitaph

King Crimson's main ability, which allows it to "erase" a period up to ten seconds in length. During this period, Diavolo can see all actions (human or otherwise) that would have taken place from its activation to the end superimposed onto the world around him. Whilst everyone is unable to change their fate, Diavolo can freely move around as he pleases, often putting himself in a better position based on the aforementioned actions (though, it's important to note that Diavolo not only never interacts with others but is also exempt from attacks as well). Once the time is up, everyone else finds themselves where they would've been at the end of their actions, but with no memory of the time Diavolo "erased". Despite him not being able to attack enemies, he can somewhat interact with objects, such as removing all the evidence of him being there from a hotel room within erased time. In a couple of occasions, against dangerous opponents, Diavolo shows being able to throw his blood at the eyes of his opponents to blind their sight, thus reinforcing his killing blow against them.

A sub-stand that takes the form of a pink bud of flesh on King Crimson's forehead with the same sour expression. Both Diavolo and Doppio can use the Stand to see up to ten seconds in the future, allowing them to see what happens around them. Rather than the process of the events, Epitaph shows the final result, and whatever it forecasts cannot be avoided - it can, however, be dealt with using the knowledge it grants. By the end of Part V, during a Time Erasure, Epitaph directly shows what will happen after it, in that location being King Crimson successfully perforating his opponent with his arm. Even when events are reverted him back to before his Time Erasure, his forecasts still showed him what was meant to happen after his Time Erasure. Additionally, albeit non-canon, the extended version in the second opening of the anime portrays Diavolo as being able to use Epitaph within Time Erasure too.

Split Personality: Vinegar Doppio and Diavolo are two separate souls inhabiting the same body. While Doppio is unaware that they share the same body and thinks that Diavolo is another person, Diavolo is aware and is dominant due to that, being able to freely switch between Doppio and himself. Diavolo can give Doppio permission to use King Crimson's arms and Epitaph if need be. Doppio hallucinates random objects as "phones" (Frogs, cigarettes, Ice cream, etc) to talk with Diavolo, which allows Diavolo to give tips to Doppio during battle and inform him about things he may be aware of. When Diavolo takes control over Doppio, may it be by just a bit or completely, Doppio's body bulks up considerably until Diavolo is fully emerged. Both Doppio and Diavolo have their own souls and it is unknown who was born first and who the orignal is, although there are many hints that indicates it to be Doppio.
