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...

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.
to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:
kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

In another (happier) world, I think Muhen would've been Akechi's Sojiro. Akechi would've lived above Jazz Jin just like how Joker lived above Leblanc. Muhen would've taught him how to make the drinks and close up at night. They would've bonded over music. And Akechi would finally have an adult looking after him. Because Muhen does care about him in-canon. He's the only character in the epilogue that mentions Akechi, he notices who Akechi spends time with, and he wishes to see him again.
It's so sad that Akechi assumes nobody cares about him or wants him around and yet this random jazz club owner does. Do you ever think about Muhen seeing Akechi at the Jazz Jin sometime in December, not knowing it would be the last time he ever would

being into sherlock holmes is so stupid like. yeah here's my blorbo, you don't know him. you think you do, but unless you've systematically fallen in love with him through the personal writings of his retired army doctor best friend you really don't. yeah. he's one of the most popular and well known characters in the world. I have interacted with at least 60% of the current fans. hey do you think he associates the sounds of waterfalls with death? do you think he'll ever get over that? I won't. good talk

i love the bit from oct 17 2020 when tommy and quackity trapped wilbur in a cobblestone box to keep him from pressing the button... wilbur punching through the blocks with his bare hand to try to get to the button... tommy frantically replacing the block in front of him yelling for quackity to do something... the moment when tommy stops, blocks the exit, and tells wilbur to do it. press the button. but then theyd die with him. quackitys like "wait, wait-" but tommy holds his ground and wilbur. ohh wilbur. "why'd you have to make it so hard?"
