scans_dailyTomorrow's Halloween, so let's talk about vampires. One vampire, actually. I generally don't like vampires very much, but everyone has exceptions, and this particular vampire is one such exception.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Dio Brando from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
I've talked a tiny bit about him in my previous post a couple of days ago, but not much. There are a lot of things you can say about Dio Brando. He is a vampire with psychic powers (by an unusual definition of psychic) who sucks blood through his fingers. He likes to pass time by hanging out in the dark, often shirtless, sipping what may or may not be wine and reading books that get the series in trouble with certain Islamic religious groups. He goes around in some very questionable outfits, presumably because nobody is going to make fun of a 6'5" and incredibly ripped psychic vampire for wearing headbands with hearts on them. It is hypothesized that most, if not all, of his henchmen want to jump his bones regardless of their gender. He has fathered at least four sons with four different women in a span of about three years. Thanks to a video game by Capcom and a certain Albino Black Sheep flash animation, he is a minor but perpetual internet celebrity, and probably the biggest reason as to why anyone in the States knows that JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is even a thing that exists.
But most of all, Dio Brando is a giant asshole.
To demonstrate just how much of an asshole Dio Brando is, we have given him exactly five seconds of stopped time to dick around with. How does he use these five seconds? Let's find out!
(Note: Shonen fighting series seconds are noticeably longer than actual seconds, even in printed form. Just ask Goku and Freeza. Also, cat lovers may want to look away.)
And, just so we can enjoy the full results, a page from the next chapter:
Happy Halloween, folks!
(Source notes: Pages come from chapters 255 and 256 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, both of which are 19 pages long. Image above cut is taken from chapter 247.)

You should post of the stuff from the first Volume of JJBA, when he was the Adopted brother of Johnathan Joestar. Seriously Dio is a creep.

He may be a complete bastard, both before and after his transformation and even moreso after his resurrection, but he's got those few things about him that make him so goddamn interesting: he loves his mama and hates his dad because he was abusive to her, he's true to his word (to a fault, which ends up excruciatingly bad for one woman), he will not tolerate being rude or being without manners (funny considering all he's done), and deep down he has a begrudging respect for his longtime nemesis Jonathan. (though not his descendants, it seems)
Yeah, he's more evil than affable, but he's just so damn good at it.

So good.
