You have to remember: in this world, you can only win if you truly understand yourself! In Aesop's fable, the tortoise beat the hare because it understood its own psyche and abilities better than anyone else. The same applies to me! I know I don't have the power or speed to fatally hurt either of you. Everything begins once you've acknowledged your own weaknesses!
~ Steely Dan

Steely Dan is one of DIO's assassins and a minor antagonist in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. He uses the Stand known as The Lovers.

In Japanese, he was voiced by Mitsuaki Madono in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future and by Daisuke Kishio in the anime. He was voiced by Grant George in the latter's English dub.

Biography[]

Steely Dan is one of the many stand users hired by Dio to kill Jotaro and his allies before they reach Egypt. Joseph first meets him when he is disguised as a store clerk. Dan's stand activates first by killing Enya Geil. Upon seeing this, Jotaro punches him and somehow, Joseph feels the same effect as him. The stand had got into Joseph's body very quick. So, in order to stop The Lovers, Polnareff and Kakyoin shrink their stands to microscopic size and send them inside Joseph. Meanwhile, Steely Dan and Jotaro walk around town in Pakistan as Steely abuses our hero, such as using him as a bridge, making him scratch his back and even making him steal an expensive bracelet getting store clerks after him. When the Lovers was defeated, it tried to get to Jotaro, but he catches it. The Lovers then tries to sneak through a girl at which point Steely Dan prepares to cut open Jotaro. Before he could do anything, he realizes that The Lovers has been tied up by Kakyoin before it left Joseph. Then, Jotaro proceeded to beat up Steely multiple times then sends him flying into a wall. Jotaro leaves a note then leaves him.

The Lovers: Hehehehe... the world's weakest Stand is...
All clones of The Lovers: The most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most powerful of all!
~ The Lovers arrogantly boasting.

Steely Dan's Stand, The Lovers, is a robotic insect that has the ability to enter into the brain of a person to implant DIO's flesh buds. Once there, he will attach itself to the nervous system of the victim, and any pain inflicted on Steely Dan will be inflicted twice as hard on the victim. Furthermore, The Lovers can use brain cells to both disguise and duplicate itself.

Trivia[]

  • Steely Dan's name is a reference to the American jazz rock band of the same name.
    • Funnily enough, the band itself got its name from an eponymous steam-powered sex toy featured in the William S. Burrough novel Naked Lunch.
    • Steely Dan's localized name, "Dan of Steel", seems to be a parody of Superman's moniker, "Man of Steel".
    • In the original 2005 localization of the manga, Steely Dan was given the name "Rubber Soul" as a reference to eponymous The Beatles album, but that was changed in later translations as that name was already being used by another enemy stand user in the series.
  • Steely Dan's Stand, Lovers, is named after the 6th Tarot card of the major arcana, The Lovers, which, fitting its ability, represents the bond and connection between two people.
  • Steely Dan suffers the longest beatdown by Star Platinum in the entire series, which lasts for three pages in the manga (roughly twenty seconds in the anime). This record is only surpassed by Cioccolata's beatdown by Gold Experience in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, which lasts for seven entire pages (thirty seconds in the anime).
  • Due to its actions, Steely Dan is widely considered to be one of the most loathsome antagonists in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise.
