Yeah, you pronounce it "lee-on", not "lie-on".
I always thought it sounded french-ish and that was kinda unfitting, knowing where it really comes from will change my perception on that, I guess.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part II: Do the Dio Walk!

Honestly, I never got why Dio was kept in the shadows until the end of Part 3. It's not like his appearance changed or anything, so what's the point?
http://thecartdriver.com/manga-driver-jojos-bizarre-adventure-stardust-crusaders/
This post is plenty long, so let’s end this with a chat about a couple of my favorite panels in this arc. I mentioned earlier that Dio’s face is kept in shadow until he finally reveals himself in Vol. 15. The whole time I couldn’t help but wonder why this was the case. Presumably, many of the people reading Stardust Crusaders at the time had also read Phantom Blood and knew what Dio looked like. But, really, it adds to the air of mystery surrounding Dio, to the sense there is something different and more grand about him this time around. Throughout the journey, there’s much speculation about Dio’s Stand, The World. What is its power? What can he do? Is he invincible? The thing is, I know what Dio looks like in Stardust Crusaders and what The World does (no spoilers, please, for the five people who don’t know!). Yet, I couldn’t help but be sucked in; the presentation marks Dio as a mythical figure.
Then comes the reveal. Dio steps out, and it’s like he’s the lead singer onstage at the greatest motherfuckin’ rock show of all time. He’s big, he’s bold and he’s gonna fuck you up.
Then the reveal of Dio’s face at last. I am not lying when I say this may be my single favorite spread in all three arcs of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. It’s so big, so outsized and the presentation pays off the buildup in a way that actually gave me chills. It’s so simple, but the sheer power Dio exudes makes you believe that he’s capable of anything. I can’t think of a better way to kick off the two-volume fight against Dio Brando. I don’t even want to talk about it, because I could never be coherent about it. It’s just a great fight. Experience it, friends.

What on earth was Araki thinking while he drew this?
-
A stand party 「obviously」
-
Yoshikage Kira/Kosaku Kawajira is actually the most random thing in that artwork.
-
More like a stand orgy. Why is it killer queen riding the world and not white snake?
-
Everybody wants to 「ride」 「The World」.

It must be the work of an enemy Stand!
-
I love how Silver Chariot's sword is pointing up.
Also i expected The Hand to be the one behind, not Crazy Diamond.
-
So many OTPs being confirmed…
-
I can't forgive Araki for missing this chance to draw SP and HG dancing together (or whatever those Stands are doing). The fandom would go crazy.
-
I love how Death 13 and Hanged Man are all "get in loser, we're going shopping."
-
…What is that drawing for anyway?

In celebration of today's episode of DIO's World:
-
Has anyone noticed that Dio isn't wearing his purple lipstick yet? At which point does he get it again?
Oh and on the topic of Pucci, he's my 3rd favorite Jojo Villain.

In celebration of today's episode of DIO's World:
I gleefully look forward to DIO trolling the shit out of Polneraff.
-
RIP senator Brook. Short but intense acting.
Just wondering, will the rest of the serie stay censored like this ?
 -
As long as they don't switch the steamroller to a truck, I don't care what they censor.
-
Part 1 was good but would have been better with 3 changes
1.skip Sono chi no Kioku to add in more episode
2.did not skip the car ramming into sidewalk people scene
3.a little less censored.This episode reminds me
I wish they did a extended edition of the series which includes all the chapters and scenes they skipped from the manga.
-
Is there censorship for animes airing late when kids are sleeping ?
 -
Boo, they skipped the sidewalk scene. I wonder if they do that so people will buy the blurays, aren't they pretty much uncut?
The pose!
I did enjoy Dio's sassy walk though.

I did enjoy Dio's sassy walk though.The blu Rays only un-shadow the parts that were shadowed in the tv version plus some animation is altered abit.
I don't think they will have the sidewalk car scene in at all.
That's why they need to make a extended edition of the series starting at phantom blood and include all skipped manga scenes and chapters
Example of a skipped part; backstory of Danny and Jonathan's friendship and why dio decided to kill Danny as revenge

Ah, lame. If the blurays weren't so damned expensive I'd buy them anyway. Hopefully they will release those in the US, not just the DVDs.
Yeah, I wish they hadn't skipped that part either, I felt like PB was a bit rushed. They could have drawn it out a bit more.

Totally forgot that there was a Danny that is not the Johnny's brother from SBR.
Edit: Or that was the mouse who killed him? -

That next episode preview couldn't be anymore obvious.
Also damn it feels good to see beefy ZA WARUDO again.
-
The preview for next week's episode just doesn't give a fuck, does it?
-
Did Avdol and Iggy go to Queen Decim ?
 -
@DIO:
2.did not skip the car ramming into sidewalk people scene
Personally, I liked it as it was animated. Dio calmly says to run down the crowd and the next time we see the car it's covered in blood. I think the imagination required for the viewer outweighs the gratuitous gore fest showing it would have required.

I can see where your coming from, and you make a compelling argument, but still I want to see the sidewalk scene. Just so I can see Waldo animated XD
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
! As for the next episode, we all know it's coming. Time to say goodbye to Kakyoin. But I have a bit of a confession to make. And that is in comparison to Abdul and Iggy's deaths, Kakyoin's never really hit me quite as hard. I don't know why, it just doesn't.

Just avoid open spoilers like this.
Some people are talking about 7th part of JoJo and before anime watchers will get there they will forget they seen anything but dont spoil next weeks episode for some people. Friendly advise.

Wow the World effect looks great!
! The best of Kakyoin

! Thank you…Kakyoin.

Well I don't think they cut a scene in this episode
! I was almost scared they edited the Part where The World turned Kakyoin into a human Donut, but they did the usually tv edition shadowing for the attack scene and did show The World's Gut Punch
! Hopefully the Bluray Edition has all scenes from the 18 DIO's World Chapters, cause I feel they will still make some slight edits that major readers of Stardust Crusaders can point out in a second.Well today all Fans of Kakyoin need to fully listen to Track 9 of the Departure OST in whatever fashion they like

It was really good to see Hamon being a thing after all this time.
Does anyone knows the name of the music that played during Kakyoin and Dio's encounter btw?
-
So
Today's Episode was DIO's World Ch.7 to slightly in Ch.10
Part 3 of Vanilla Ice had DIO's World Ch.1 and maybe abit of Ch.2
So Part 3 of DIO's World will have rest of Ch.10 to Ch.14
Final episode will Be DIO's World Ch.15 to the end chapter plus sneak peek of Josuke

I'm not sorry. Not one bit.
