Tomorrow'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.
