As someone who loves the vampire aspect of jojo I find your take that dio's vampirism is an important part of his character to be extremely validating.

i love a good vampire!

and the pillar men will forever be some of my favirote guys in all of jojos

but yeah! likE! i know when ppl think of dio they think p3 dio with the world and i get it. its not NOT iconic or whatever

but to be the most important part of Dio is obviously contained in p1 and the part of his identity connected to the mask and his vampirism and what it means to who he is as a person and his background and the things that drive him and how he adapted to get where he wants and what he needs

power and the ability of control over himself and to everyone around him

advancing in ways he shined before until he's above it all, untouchable. accepting a new way to exist and changing and in some ways corrupting his body, throwing away the person he was before in personality and all to become something that will get him right where he has fought so hard to be.

its important!! i know no one ignores how cool dio being a vampire is, and its still relevant in p3 a bit. but i dont think people think of dio and jona's relationt to the mask and how important it is to their characters...
