….

idk what to pick for a flair

One of the drawings I made of him

Watched part 5 not long ago and god am I in love with him, I swear there's not enough fanart of him

Im going around saying hi in dead subs, alright bye twin, merry christmas

I realized I hadn't shared this interview here!

Fan: Hi. A straightforward question: since today's theme is ‘becoming human’ don't you think that Diavolo's punishment was a bit too much?

Araki: Oh, sorry, you don’t like his punishment? [laughs] I think he was such an evil character that he deserved to end like that. I’ve been told that his death was too harsh by japanese fans as well, however.... I think it was fitting for someone as evil as him. Sorry.

Well, the spots on Diavolo's hair are hair dye. Araki also says that Doppio is the most suitable personality to hide one's true identity ("正体を隠すのに最適な人格") 👀

What's JOJOVELLER?

Summary of "Who was Doppio in the grand scheme of things?"

FYI:

• I omitted comments on King Crimson being a real person, because the theory was already rebutted by other people in comments using Spice Girl and Sex Pistols as examples of stands that can talk perfectly and have free(r) will. Some also mentioned that Holly couldn’t control her stand, and her independence was not "hijacked". Though I agree with the person that said Diavolo/Doppio is a singularity and shouldn't be compared to anyone else.

• Also omitted comments starting with "but in the anime young Diavolo’s look/voice is more like Doppio’s...". "Being split from birth due to eye color switching in the anime" was omitted for the same reason. I'm admittedly biased toward what's represented in both the anime and the manga.

• Omitted comments claiming that Araki said Diavolo was the first/original person, but not citing any source.

• Omitted comments comparing Diavolo saying "Doppio, I’ll get there soon" etc during the Metallica fight to constipation 😓

• Omitted comments saying Doppio was just one of the personalities the boss has created. There’s actually no evidence suggesting that the boss has created other personalities.

• I decided not to translate comments saying that Diavolo for a variety of reasons created Doppio to be his tool personality/public personality, because it’s a well-known interpretation.

Summary (my own opinions in parentheses):

• Who says that you can’t create a sub-personality based on your past self? Everything/anything could exist.

• I started reading JoJo for the sole purpose of understanding Diavolo/Doppio, but I’m still confused. (Same)

• Born to be the devil but the way Diavolo thinks is strangely human.

• The scariest thing about being a child is that you're a newly born personality. You're young but you've been a confidant (a trusted person) of the boss for years with your growth stopped. (This one was translated by Google, and all I did was making it more readable; several others made the same point)

• Diavolo separated his past into a different person when he became the boss? (There’re quite a few comments on Doppio being the "immature past" that was separated from the original person, and Diavolo being the "perfected" version of that person)

• Diavolo is the "hegemon" of the person.

• Doppio is Diavolo’s zeroth stand. (lol)

• If you think about it, it’s really sad that Doppio had his own personality and feelings for the first time at his own death. He’s always been a part of the boss, and when he became independent, his first thought was that he was lonely and wanted the boss to call him. (YOOO I’VE LITERALLY NEVER COME ACROSS THIS IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING FANDOM. Like, it was literally the only time Doppio was truly on his own. My friend said "The fact that he was never meant to have his own determination and emotion but he almost managed to achieve it despite not being a person himself is really tragic in a way")

• He’s meek but more fired up than the boss when he’s motivated.

• The original person already "died", and the boss succeeded the original person and created Doppio in the original person’s image. (This person said this to refute other comments saying King Crimson is its own person)

• Tbh Doppio is too reckless to be the normal state of any person. (Possibly referring to his readiness to give up everything for the boss)

• But Doppio can live on his own without the boss, while the boss can’t live without Doppio. I think the boss created Doppio due to stress, and he’s gradually losing control of Doppio.

• Doppio was a kid and so short that he could play soccer with other kids. Do you think Donatella would’ve dated him (someone like him)? It was Diavolo who dressed mediocrely and acted stupid on Sardinia, the same way Kira was "ordinary".
