The Final Moments of Dio Brando in Episode 1 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

What Happens to Dio Brando in Episode 1?

Episode 1 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure introduces us to the complex character of Dio Brando, a womanizing, arrogant vampire. In this episode, Dio's antagonist, Jonathan Joestar, defeats him through a brutal physical confrontation. Dio is hardly the typical villain; rather, he's smart, charming, and almost sympathetic in his own right, albeit completely manipulative and wicked. Let's delve into what happens to Dio at the end of Episode 1, focusing on Part 7 (Jotaro's Story).

The Final Confrontation

Forgoing the usual methods, Jonathan Joestar, with his wisdom and heritage, confronts Dio. The fight is intense and relentless, with Dio, desperate for survival, trying various futile tactics. In the end, Jotaro lands a devastating punch, targeting Dio's weak, exposed left leg. This punch is so powerful that it cracks the bone and sets off a chain reaction that culminates in Dio's demise.

Post Mortem and Aftermath

After Dio's body is destroyed, the Earth strips away the last remnants of his mortal form. Jotaro and Joseph, Jonathan's adopted son, work together to take Jonathan's body into the sun. The heat thickens the air, and the Earth's gravity seems to increase, more prominently since Jotaro and Joseph never let go of Jonathan's body. With the sun's radiance, Jonathan's body is finally able to rest in peace, turning into ash as evidenced in the main timeline.

Other Endings

The story of Dio isn't entirely finished yet. WhileDiego Brando was typically the antagonist in Part 3, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has multiple storylines. In Part 3, Dio successfully outlives Jonathan and becomes a major villain. His death at the hands of Jotaro is a significant moment that marks the end of his immediate threat, though remnants of his evil influence can still be felt throughout the series.

There's also a snippet in the anime that hints at the existence of other Dio-related storylines. In a scene where Big Boss (Koichi EST.1004) recalls a vision in his feverish delirium, viewers are introduced to none other than Dio as the Great and Immortal Dio. This Dio is integral to the series' overarching plot, serving as a thread that ties together various conflicts from different parts of the series. He is responsible for a substantial portion of the conflicts from Parts 1-7, making his story an essential piece of the JoJo universe's tapestry.

Conclusion Future Impact

While Dio's death in Episode 1 of Part 7 (Jotaro's Story) is final in the immediate story, it paves the way for future storylines. The supernatural implications of Dio's survival in other parts of the series create a careful examination of the series' themes, including the nature of good and evil, and the consequences of power.

The fate of Dio Brando at the end of Episode 1 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure marks the beginning of a tumultuous journey through the series, setting the stage for the profound and complex story arcs that follow.
