Diavolo

"I must crush my fear! Now is the time... I must overcome it right now! That is what it means to live!"

- Diavolo "It is only the results that remain in this world! All the actions you take in a world where time is erased are meaningless!"

- Diavolo to Bruno Buccellati.

Diavolo is the main antagonist in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo.

As the discoverer of the Arrows, Diavolo is responsible for the proliferation of Stand Users in the world. 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 Giorno Giovanna and Bruno Bucciarati's superior and greatest enemy. Diavolo is also the father of Trish Una, and commands Bucciarati's Gang to bring her to him whilst keeping her safe from the traitorous Squadra Esecuzioni.

Diavolo is secretly the alternate personality of Vinegar Doppio, and is a Stand User who wields the incredibly powerful King Crimson.

He was voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi in the anime adaptation, and Toshiyuki Morikawa in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven.

Biography
Much of Diavolo's origins and past is left in mystery. He was supernaturally born in an all-female prison in Italy in the summer of 1967 to a two year pregnancy, with no possible subjects for a father within the prison. As his mother still had several years left in prison, Diavolo was adopted by a priest and moved to Sardinia, where he would grow up.

When Diavolo was 17-19 years old, he met and had a relationship with a girl named Donatella Una. He presented himself to her as "Solido Naso", showing an obsession with erasing his past and identity even before he was the boss of Passione. Diavolo unknowingly had a daughter with Donatella, named Trish Una.

One day, the priest who raised him found Diavolo's biological mother mysteriously hidden underneath the floor with her mouth and eyes sewn shut. Later, a fire would start and kill several people with the priest and Diavolo himself listed as deaths. Diavolo is shown to have directly killed the priest himself in the anime. It is implied Diavolo started the fire himself to fake his death.

Diavolo would then, for reasons unknown, join an excavation in Egypt. He would there discover a box with six arrows, which intrigued him due to the power they gave off to him. He would take the arrows to a witch named Enya Geil and sold five of the six arrows to her. Enya would later introduce the arrows to people such as DIO and Yoshihiro Kira, which would cause the spread and increase of Stand users around the world.

Diavolo would then found Passione and use his remaining arrow to create Stand users within his own organization, most likely creating his own Stand King Crimson with the arrow as well.

Powers and Abilities
"Once anyone witnesses King Crimson... As of that moment... They no longer exist in world."

- Diavolo

Diavolo's Stand, King Crimson, has the power to “erase” time. To simplify it, he activates his power, which lasts for ten seconds. During this time, Diavolo is able to see every movement like a sketch. After his spell ends, anything that happened during the time his power was active will be simple erased out of existence, like it never happened. This not only will leave his enemy disoriented (thinking like it was teleported), but also allow Diavolo to predict his opponent's moves and not only dodge it but also position himself to counter the attack.

Quotes
"I, Diavolo, am the emperor! This fact remains unchanged!"

- Diavolo

"I decided to show you... as a parting gift. What you have witnessed and laid hands upon was your own future self! The "you" from a few seconds past saw your future self. This is the ability of my King Crimson! I eradicated time and leapt past it! No matter who they may be... I shall not allow anyone to threaten my everlasting climax. No matter what! And now, you're going to have to disappear. Bucciarati, your mission to guard Trish... has now come to an end."

- Diavolo to Bruno Bucciarati before mortally wounding him.

"You are the only one I can trust. Understand? You are my greatest."

- Diavolo to Vinegar Doppio.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME! AHHHHHHHHH!"

- Diavolo's final words after he was trapped in an infinite loop between death and rebirth over and over again.
