====Part 2: Battle Tendency Villains====
=====The Pillar Men (Wamuu, ACDC/Esidisi, Kars, Santana)=====
[[File:Awaken in Color.png|thumb|right|250px|ACDC, Wamuu, and Kars...After 2000 Years they are finally free to pose once again.]]
A pre-human tribe of supermen from the ancient past, these beings possess superhuman control over their bodies, allowing them to manipulate their own flesh and the flesh of other people as they see fit. This makes them virtually indestructible, capable of reassembling themselves from being blown to bloody scraps. They feed on the flesh of all other races, and their body manipulating traits allow them to literally absorb flesh with a touch. By the time of the series, only four members of this tribe survive, having slaughtered the rest of their kind, ostensibly in self-defense as they didn't like their leader's scheme since the increased metabolism induced by the Stone Masks would lead to the hunting of all other life to extinction if they became widespread. Kars and Esidisi took the two infants that survived, Wamuu and Santana, with them as they went in search of a way to gain complete immunity to the sun. Their search went on for tens of thousands of years, until they learned of the Red Stone of Aja, a perfectly cut gemstone that can channel light and refract it to point that it fires a concentrated laser beam. Believing the "Super Aja" to be the key unlocking their evolution, the Pillar Man fought against Hamon users in order to obtain it but somehow failed and were sealed away in a stonewall. ACDC, Wamuu, and Kars each have an elemental "mode" which they theme their personal body modification around, for instance, Wamuu can form a lethal wind shear by spinning his arms like turbines. The tribe's only weakness is sunlight, and thus by extension Ripple energy; Kars' claim to fame was attempting to fix this with the Stone Masks, which didn't work as the Masks can't pierce their skin deeply enough, but ''did'' create dickass vampires like Dio and massively boosted their shape-shifting powers. Free from their stone prison, they once again seek the Red Stone in order to power a modified Stone Mask that will finally allow them to become "Ultimate Lifeforms". Appearance-wise they are all built like bodybuilders being at least 6ft. tall and dress in ancient Mesoamerican style. A Group of [[Adeptus Custodes|Custodians]] seem to have taken after their appearance

*'''Santana:''' The first Pillar Man to awaken, the first to be fought, and the first to put up with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt4q6Dwa-LE Joseph's weirdness]. He was awakened by German scientists when they doused his stone form with blood under Stroheim's orders. At first Stroheim writes him off as a simple caveman-type, but the events that follow show he is far more than a primitive human.[[File:Santana_Absorb.png|left|240px|thumb|Stare too long and you might just get sucked right in.]] Santana shows off each of the Pillar Men's natural abilities by eating a vampire through body contact then breaking his own bones at high-speed in order to fit into a vent. Everyone learns that Santana is incredibly intelligent when he disassembles a machine-gun in seconds without breaking it. Joseph arrives in time to save Stroheim and Speedwagon, and with Stroheim's help he's able to expose Santana to sunlight and turn him back into stone. While Santana is essentially a sign of the Pillar Man threat, he's nothing special compared to the other three. Realizing who he is at the mention of him, since Santana isn't his real name, Kars basically says he was a weakling that only lived 1/10 of their [Kars, Esidisi and Wamuu's] lives which implies they abandoned him. While it's amazing that Santana learned to speak a language within minutes of hearing it, his speech is slow and simple. When the other Pillar Men awaken they are capable of full sentences within a smaller time frame meaning Santana is also an idiot by comparison. He is shown to still be alive in his stone form, but it is unlikely he will ever make another appearance.
<!-- All this space is here to give a good, even break so Wham's part doesn't start to the left. -->





[[File:Wham close.png|200px|thumb|The Warrior's Code says nothing against looking this good.]]

*'''Wamuu (Wham):''' The Pillar Man who can use "Wind Mode" and the second to awaken but the first to [[get shit done]], Wammu is a servant of Kars and Esidisi though he is in no way weaker than either of them, in fact in terms of abilities he's arguably the most dangerous. Of the three, he upholds a Warrior's Code of Honor and while he does obey the others' commands completely, he lives to fight by this code. Upon awakening, he immediately slaughters most of the nazis present using his wind horn and somehow deflates the rest before doing his [[meme|iconic]] "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDEbsZpweDo Wammu!] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uOBVO-GyZk Awaken my Masters!]" and posing dramatically alongside a freed Esidisi and Kars with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUhVCoTsBaM Pillarstep] blasting in the background. Wham subsequently eats Caesar's best Nazi friend, Mark, just by walking past him and puts Caesar and his bubbles in the trash without even really trying. He decides to get a little serious against Joseph and uses his "''Holy Sandstorm''", blasting out [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgIdV09E75o Whamstep] all over the place and bodying Joseph. Joseph plays to his code of honor in order to survive which leads to Wham agreeing to fight him again in 30 days, leaving a "Wedding Ring" inside him so he can't back out. Much later on, Caesar rushes to face Wham at the mansion in Switzerland but dies in the resulting fight. [http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/514/806/4b4.jpg Respecting Caesar] for giving him the best fight he had had in millennia, he allows him to take the antidote ring for Joseph and leaves vowing that he would always remember their battle. Meeting Joseph in the Skeleton Heel Stone Arena for their final fight, a chariot race using vampire horses with countless vampire spectators. After a number of tricks, gouging his own eyes out, and losing both of his arms, Wamuu activates his "''Final Mode: Atmospheric Rift/Gathering Gale''" which is a concentrated blade of wind from his horn. The battle leaves Wham as only a head, though Joseph expresses respect for him due to the respect he has shown Caesar previously. Using the very last of his strength to kill a group of vampires who were poised to attack Joseph, he fades into ash and is carried away with the wind. In the end, Wammu upheld his Warrior's Code and was glad to have the honor of fighting both Caesar and Joseph as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gMlFFXFJQc true] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtlDvR56rOs warriors]. His namesake is the English duo, ''Wham!'', who would be formed about 50 years after the events of Part 2 in real-life.

*'''Esidisi (ACDC):''' Pillar Man with the power of "Flame Mode", he's Kars' closest companion, being the one to side with him when their entire race turned on them. His Flame Mode allows him to raise his body temperature to 500 degrees, allowing him to use his own blood as weapon by extending his veins out of his body. Being able to heat himself up to such a degree, fire and explosives have no effect on him such is that he was able to swallow [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR30knJs4Xk TNT] with no problems.[[File:Esidisi.png|200px|thumb|Better lock up your daughters, because you're about to be Thunderstruck.|left]] Contrary to his odd appearance, he's not to be taken lightly as is a cunning strategist who was able to outsmart Joseph for a time. He traveled to Air Supplena Island on his own when he deduced it would be the location of the Red Stone. Esidisi kills Loggins just before Joseph shows up for his training duel and is forced to confront him.[[File:HEEEEYYYY.png|150px|right|thumb|"Well it looks like ''I'm'' on the Razor's Edge this time."]] Fighting on a bed of spikes, Esidisi shows his cunning by seeing through some of Joseph's tricks and even using Joseph's "What you're going to say next is..." trick against him and stating that he had personally met Sun Tzu himself at some point. In another iconic moment, he starts crying his eyes out when Joseph destroys one of his arms as a way of calming himself down "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYrl-RJ_oA4 Oh-ho, MY GOD~! HEEEYYYY!!!]" He's defeated and left as a brain with his blood vessels attached as he makes his way to Suzie Q, taking over her body and sending the Red Stone of Aja to Switzerland. When Caesar and Joseph remove him from Suzie Q, instead of outright destroying Esidisi, Joseph shows respect for him as even though he was utterly destroyed, he still did all he could to make sure Kars' plan came to fruition. If it's not clear, his namesake is the rock band ''AC/DC''; his theme [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv_qe5oQoPo "The Disturbing ACDC/Esidisi"] alludes to this and the same may be true for his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnk-J59jyXc Eyes of Heaven Theme]. The banter he has with Joseph is depicted in a popular banner, and his crying face has been parodied a number of times.

*'''Kars:''' The leader of the Pillar Men and creator of the Stone Masks out of ambition, essentially making him the indirect cause of all the events of Part 1. Thousands of years prior to the series, Kars invented the Stone Mask to overcome his race's weakness to the sun,  but by the time of Part 2 his ultimate goal is really complete dominion over the animal kingdom. Being an incomprehensibly muscled, fabulous, and intelligent ancient being he is understandably arrogant and could care less for humanity, seeing us as obstacles and primitive scum compared to his race of buff, flawless demigods. Though he hates humanity, Kars is shown to care for nature to such a degree that he diverted a car with a drunken driver to save a puppy and knocked himself into chasm walls to avoid landing on flowers at the bottom.[[File:Disguised Kars.png|thumb|left|200px|Hasn't worn anything more than a thong and a bejeweled head wrap for thousands of years, yet he's looking so good he might cause a Kars Accident.]] His mode is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6t2HDJ0NVk "Light Mode"] which takes the form of metal blades called "Light Slip Blades" that jut out from his arms and legs; the light comes from small "teeth" on the blades that move across them similar to a chainsaw. Kars is able to use his blades to cut farther and more times than seemingly possible, like when he cut an entire room of Nazis into pieces from the outside wall. His first time taking action was when he correctly assumed that Esidisi had been defeated: he set out wearing a ''beautiful'' winter ensemble to claim the Super Aja himself, and would've had it if it weren't for the Pinnacle of German Science delaying him. After Wamuu's defeat by Joseph, he reveals the proof of his superiority to humanity - the fact that he has '''''absolutely flawless''''' hair that would make even the most [[Fulgrim|depraved, vain fool]] mourn their lack of such flowing, shimmering violet locks. In spite of all of his planning, during his final battle against the Ripple users he is defeated by Joseph who, of course, managed to outsmart him. When it seems as though Kars had completely lost, he reveals himself wearing the custom Stone Mask with the Red Stone equipped. When the Stone Mask breaks off after a dramatic event, it is revealed that he has the ability to create sentient, living creatures from his own body. Everyone thinks he's beat when the sun rises, but as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFPgKeYVJgk Karstep] starts blasting throughout the world, his enemies realize that Kars is now immune to the sunlight, that he is finally the Ultimate Lifeform. Kars' first decision as the Ultimate Being was to eliminate the one who had caused him so much turmoil since his awakening: Joseph Joestar. Growing wings and taking flight to catch Joseph who had taken the Red Stone and a plane, he creates piranhas and an octopus to crash the plane which Joseph survives thanks to Stroheim. When he is poised to finish Joseph, Kars accidentally causes the volcano they were fighting in to erupt, launching them into the sky. After one final discourse with Joseph, the Ultimate Lifeform ends up launched further into Earth's atmosphere. In Earth's orbit, Kars attempts to push his way back but begins to freeze and is unable to form anything capable of keeping him warm so he is left floating through space. With nothing left but his own thoughts in the cold void of space, Kars yearned for death and [[meme|eventually stopped thinking]].

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

*'''Straights/Straits/Straizo:'''[[File:Stupraights.png|"Now that I have my youth again, it is time to put Joseph and Erina in ''Dire Straits...but with just Straits''"|thumb|200px|right]] Back from Part 1, Straits is 50 years older than his previous appearance, but is still looking relatively young for his age thanks to hamon. Unfortunately, being able to do Sun-Breath Magic Martial Arts that keep you spry isn't enough for him and he reveals that he secretly admired Dio's powers. On an expedition with Speedwagon to see the Man in the Pillar, Straits suddenly kills everyone present. He activates one of the Stone Masks using Speedwagon's blood to become a Ripple-using vampire and decides he needs to go kill Joseph and Erina to top off his heel-turn. Straights tries to act coy when he meets Joseph, but he didn't expect Jojo to be [https://youtu.be/z0gljFf98ds?t=58 packing heat]. During their fight, Straights names the blood laser previously used by Dio: "'''Space Ripper Stingy Eyes'''", but his mastery of it doesn't stop him from being made a fool of by Joseph. Joseph reveals that he attached a bunch of grenades to Straights' back and blasts him into pieces, then runs away like a true hero would. After regenerating, Straits takes a journalist hostage to lure Joseph into fighting him directly. Unfortunately for "''Stup-raights''", Jojo figured out how to counter his Stingy Eyes which reflects the beam into his head. Admitting defeat, Straits talks about the Man in the Pillar and the threat he knew it would present, he then blows himself using the Ripple while content that he died with a young body. It is later revealed that he was the one that raised Lisa Lisa after the events at the end of Phantom Blood, so it's a real shame he decided to be [[That guy|a team-killer]] and attempt to murder his friends for essentially nothing.

*'''Donovan:''' An elite Nazi soldier tasked with tracking down Joseph and interrogating him for information on his encounter with Straights. Donovan had the ability to move so lightly that he could track people at close range without being noticed and could hide himself in an unfurled cloak in mid-air, seemingly invisible. He's defeated when he gets cocky and gets buffeted by a cactus that Joseph had hit with Hamon which lets Joseph turn the tables and interrogate him. After getting the information, Joseph left him tied upside-down to a cactus before driving off, leaving his fate unknown.

*'''Wired Beck:''' A gratingly flamboyant vampire encountered by Joseph and Lisa Lisa before the start of the final battle with the Pillar Men, he ends all of his sentences with "OK" or "K'". They meet him when Joseph tries to open a door which turns out to be Wired Beck in disguise and talks about his backstory, that before Kars made him a vampire he was a criminal convicted for strangling his girlfriend. He reveals his ability to create spikes all over his body from his skin and hair and talks about how he's going to take Lisa Lisa's blood. Lisa Lisa then just twirls her scarf around him, leaving him seemingly unharmed before Joseph informs him that "[[ Fist of the North Star|You're already dead]], OK," just before he disintegrates.

<h4><span style='color:crimson;font-size:120%'>Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Villains</span></h4>
The antagonists of Part 3 are divided into three rough groups which are mostly separated by their naming conventions, and all but one are loyal to DIO be it out of greed, fanaticism, or malice, they're all out for the Stardust Crusaders.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<h5><span style='color:goldenrod;font-size:115%'>The Tarot Assassins</span></h5>
The first is the Tarot Assassins, a variety of hitmen hired by DIO to kill the Crusaders with their Stands all being named after tarot cards. Some are just the the name of their associated card though most of them include the color of their Stand as part of the name. Thematically, their names are also representative of their abilities and how they use them or, in some more literal cases, their appearance. All of the assassins themselves are named after musical groups, singers, songs and albums despite some of these groups existing around this time.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

*'''Gray Fly:''' An old codger of an assassin whose MO is getting on the plane/train/boat as his target, then [[Bane|crashing it with no survivors]] except himself. His Stand is '''Tower of Gray''', a flying beetle so fast it can dodge Star Platinum's punches. [[Grimdark|It has a long, Xenomorph-style tongue with which it rips out the tongues of its targets]]. Kakyoin managed to trick it into a predictable pattern that allowed him to shred it using Hierophant Green's tentacles. Tower of Gray's destruction split his head open and seemingly killed him, but he was able to live a little longer and make his way to the cockpit to taunt the Crusaders.

*'''Impostor Captain Tennille:''' A man who killed and impersonated the captain of a boat tasked with transporting the Crusaders to India, who wields the Stand '''Dark Blue Moon'''. DBM is a sea monster, capable of creating barnacle-like growths on his victims that drain their energy, creating whirlpools, and releasing his scales that are like miniature razors. No one suspected him of being a Stand User until he fell for Jotaro's trick and made himself look like an idiot. He forced Jotaro to fight him alone underwater, but was unexpectedly stabbed in the face by Star Platinum's '''Star Finger'''. Like Gray Fly before him, he had a back-up plan and rigged the boat with explosives. His real name was never revealed, but his censored name is "Captain Dragon", which is the real name of the captain in "''Captain & Tenille''".

*'''Forever:''' A sapient orangutan that likes [[Nurgle|smoking pipes]], [[Slaanesh|human pornography]], [[Tzeentch|posing as a regular ape]] and [[Khorne|brutal murder]]. His Stand is '''Strength''', which can possess objects and bring out their "true potential": in the manga this turns a tiny yacht into a massive freighter that Forever has total control over, which lets him phase through its walls. The Crusaders end up on his freighter sometime after the fight against Imposter Tenille since they were forced to abandon ship with the sailors. Forever first appears when the Crusaders are searching the ship for its crew and they find him in a cage where he simply acts smarter than the average animal, doing things like lighting and smoking a cigarette. After killing the last of the sailors, he [[Dranon's delight|prepared to molest Anne who was traveling with the Crusaders]], while he used Strength to trap them in the floor of the ship's deck. Luckily, Jotaro was wary of him, appearing to save Anne and beat him by using Star Finger to push a button into his forehead. In the OVA, Jotaro doesn't escape from being trapped during the fight so Polnareff intervenes and cuts Forever in half. Based on the intelligent orangutan from the horror movie [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091415/ Link.] Named after the Wu-Tang Clan album, ''Wu-Tang Forever''.

*'''Devo the Cursed:''' A Native American assassin with scars covering his entire body who's able to "curse" people to die horrific deaths. In truth, he's a masochist and uses his Stand, '''Ebony Devil''' to possess a killer doll and take a few pages from Chucky's book by murdering someone who hurt him in various brutal and creative ways. When he crawls out of his hiding spot in Polnareff's mini-fridge, he gets one of his eyes poked out only to claim his curse has taken hold and jumps the balcony, leaving his doll to do the job. This shit is fucking brutal, we're talking razors to the back of the foot, shampoo in the eyes, razor-toothed lamprey-mouth, slicing a bellhop's face clean off, and dousing a bed in alcohol in order to ignite it/electrocute Polnareff using a short-circuiting hairdryer. Polnareff manages to outmaneuver him and rip his doll (and therefore his Stand, and therefore ''him'') to pieces, leaving a janitor at the hotel to find Devo's bloody mess in a bathroom.  Also called Soul Sacrifice in the official sub to avoid lawsuits, notable because Araki picked the name himself.

*'''Rubber Soul:''' Another assassin sent by DIO who was promised a fuckton of money to kill the Stardust Crusaders. His Stand, '''Yellow Temperance''', is an amorphous blob of flesh that allows him to disguise himself as other people and eat organic matter by covering and dissolving it. The more Yellow Temperance absorbs, the larger it gets and the only way to get rid of it is to attack Rubber Soul himself and since Yellow Temperance is an incredibly fast blob that can act as a shield, it's not an easy task. Rubber Soul was able to "perfectly" disguise himself as Kakyoin sometime after the Devo fight and Hermit Purple detected his presence when used on a television. While his disguise is physically perfect, he acted overly hostile, putting a pickpocket into a "''Coconut Backbreaker''" and infamously making the cherry licking sound, [https://youtu.be/UQ-g0BdpbDM "Relo relo relo relo..."] When Jotaro gets sick of his shit, still thinking he's Kakyoin, he punches him and knocks his jaw off which breaks the disguise. Asking Jotaro,"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWKB1Zxg84s DO YOU UNDERSTAND?]" but after experiencing the '''Joestar Family Secret Technique''' and [https://youtu.be/E_ZDj8N-rAA having his weakness revealed to him] he tries to play it off. Jotaro seems to consider letting him go, but when Rubber messes that up for himself he gets a one passenger ticket on the ORA ORA ORA train. Even though he's terrible actor, doing nothing resembling Kakyoin's behavior he oddly shared the same habit of licking cherries as Kakyoin. His namesake is the Beatles album of the same name but he is called "''Robber Soul''" in the American version of the PS1 game. 

[[File:Nicest Man.png|300px|thumb|right|"Bingo, if you tell me to hit a lady one more time...]]
*'''Hol Horse:''' An assassin sent by DIO to take them Joestar Boys out, he's a modern cowboy whose stand is a gun named '''The Emperor''' and is the "Nicest Man in the World". ''The Emperor's'' only real ability is that the bullets are part of his stand, so Hol Horse can manipulate the trajectory of its bullets mid-flight and change their speed. He's a womanizing coward, making lady folk fall in love with him solely so he can take advantage of them and save his bacon. Due to his stand's relative weakness; Hol Horse never fights alone, preferring to fight with a partner because "''It's always better being No. 2''". He teams up with J. Geil at first claiming they're the "strongest combination" but when that all goes South, he gets blamed for J. Geil's death and is almost done  if wasn't for those Stardust Boys saving the day. After meeting with DIO, he shows up again with Boingo, and they have a hootenanny using Thoth's predictions to get the drop on them Joestar Boys like hamburger on a grill. [[Just as planned|After sticking his fingers up that escargot-loving Polnareff's nose causes them Crusader types to get hit by a truck]], he makes a mistake and shoots himself in his dang ol' face, forcing him to ['''RETIRE!''']. Despite his luck, he manages to survive Stardust Crusaders, but in the OVA he ends up incapacitated after the fight with Justice instead of escaping. His name is likely a warped pronunciation of the duo, ''Hall & Oates'', plus he has some real [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_Frwi9mE5o knee-slappin'] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6YmNyROlNQ theme songs.]

*'''J. Geil:''' An ugly motherfucker with two right hands. A sadist through and through, he raped and killed Polnareff's sister, which ironically drove Polnareff to also work under DIO to find him and later join the Crusaders. His Stand, '''The Hanged Man''', is made of light that can jump between reflections and attack from them. He is rather clever , and lies to the Crusaders when explaining his powers to throw them through a loop instead of telling the truth like a chump. He tricks Polnareff using a decoy then calls out homeless people so he can use their eyes as hiding places for The Hanged Man. This did not stop him from being turned into a pincushion by Polnareff and hung upside down like his Stand's counterpart in Tarot.

*'''Nena:''': A morbidly obese, short lady disguised as a teenage Indian girl, who possess '''The Empress'''. The Empress is an odd bit in that it manifests itself by infecting victims using Nena's blood. The blood will then grow into an unsightly cyst and evolves into the stand itself, going from a face to a full upper body. Even as just a face, it was strong enough to kill a doctor using only a scalpel placed into its teeth, and when the upper body formed it was able to deliver powerful punches. Nena infected Joseph with a blood drop on his arm and planned to kill him, thinking it was an easy gig as Hermit Purple is not combat-oriented and Hamon can't harm the user's own body. However, Joseph uses his decades of experience and manages to trap The Empress and kill her, resulting in Nena dying as well and freaking out Polnareff who had been flirting with her at the time. 

*'''ZZ:''': The person who possesses the Stand: '''Wheel of Fortune'''. Similar to Strength; WoF takes the characteristics of a vehicle, which in his case is a beaten-up old car, which he turned into a spiked death mobile that would make even a [[Warpsmith]] jealous. At first ZZ tried tricking the Crusaders into a car accident and later tampered with a roadsign to make them go the wrong way where he would ambush them. After causing them to get into another accident, he reveals his identity and that WoF is capable of climbing up walls and burrowing underground. He almost manages to kill Jotaro after shooting him with gasoline and delivering an electric shock, but was fooled by a decoy trick and his car was punched into scrap metal. Losing his car, the Crusaders laugh at his lack of well-toned abs, as he only has four, and leave him chained to a rock Prometheus style. One of the characters to break the 4th Wall, claiming he "ended Part 3 early" when it looked like Jotaro was burning and is noted for having gigantic, muscled arms but a comparatively small body. His namesake is the rock band, ''ZZ Top''.

*'''Enya Geil:''' One of DIO's inner circle and his chief adviser. A shriveled old hag who encourages DIO to develop his powers and to rule ''THE WORLD'' with them. Has two right hands just like her son, J. Geil mentioned above, she loves her son and dotes on him, overlooking the fact that he's a rapist serial killer. She is, naturally, ''extremely'' mad at Polnareff and the Crusaders for killing "innocent son". Her Stand, '''Justice''', is a mist taking the form of a giant skull with a English crown that can raise the dead and can control body parts it puts holes into by using a preexisting wound. It can also create illusions and is next to immune to physical damage because it is made of smoke and large enough to cover an entire city. Enya manages to take control of Polnareff's tongue and makes him lick feces from a toilet before being saved by Jotaro. She was then captured by the Crusaders who wanted to interrogate her, but when Steely Dan activated the flesh bud inside of her, she died loyal to DIO and refused to give them information. Ultimately responsible for parts after the third having Stands flying out of their asses by finding and abusing the Stand Arrow. Despite being old and short, in the OVA she takes on a disguise that makes her look young and like a normal woman which she uses to trick Hol Horse, and later, Polnareff. Also in the OVA, she dies immediately after Jotaro defeats her.

*'''Steely Dan:''' A kebab-stand owner(?) who controls the Stand named '''The Lovers'''. The Lovers is microscopic and can't do anything in straight-up combat. Its specialty is that it can infiltrate the bodies of opponents and do damage from within, but more importantly transfers any damage he would take to the infested person so they would feel it in the same area but amplified. Harmful to the point that, Dan, cracking his knuckles was felt by Joseph in his ''prosthetic'' hand so this allowed him to blackmail Jotaro into being his punching bag/man servant. He's pretty notable in the series for pissing off Jotaro to such a degree that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guTZEIPe-Ks 6 whole pages/20 seconds were entirely devoted to him being ORA ORA ORAed into oblivion]. His namesake is the band, ''Steely Dan'', censored to "S-Terry Dan" in the PS1 game and "Dan of Steel" in certain material. Rather confusingly, in the older Viz Manga Translation it was "censored" to ''Rubber Soul'' despite the actual Rubber Soul, mentioned above, being censored to ''Robber Soul''.

*'''Arabia Fats:''' The person who controlled the stand: '''Sun''', which is a literal sun that could shoot some kind of energy projectile with extreme accuracy. He attempted to burn the Crusaders in the middle of the desert, forcing them to hide under a rock as they had no way of finding him way out in the open. At first it seems like Kakyoin, Jotaro, and Polnareff have gone crazy from the heat as they start having a good laugh which freaks Joseph out. In reality, they had figured out Fats' trick leading Jotaro to throw a rock at him and they leave Fats knocked out in the middle of nowhere in a desert. Fats had no dialogue outside of the noise he made when hit and was given extra quotes in the PS1 game, Joseph even notes how easily he was defeated. His namesake is the pianist, ''Fats Domino''. 

*'''Mannish Boy:''' An impossibly intelligent baby who was given to the Crusaders by an unknown person who turned out to not know anything about the him or his parents. He has fangs for some reason, but that's just a clue that he's one of the more depraved characters in Part 3, something only Kakyoin was able to notice. Mannish Boy knows full well how to smoke and was able to avoid suspicion while manipulating the Crusaders into losing trust in Kakyoin. His most directly dangerous quality is his Stand, '''Death 13''', which is a clown-like reaper that can take people into its own personal carnival dreamworld. Whenever someone falls asleep in vicinity to Mannish Boy, they're taken in and can only remember what happens in the dreamworld if he wants them to; in addition, any injuries a person sustains in the dream will show up in real-life. After an absurd amount of creepy shenanigans, he is defeated when Kakyoin figures out how to summon Hierophant Green in the dreamworld. The real final blow is dealt when Kakyoin mixes Mannish Boy's own feces into his baby food which he can't refuse since he's ''just a baby''. Though his Stand is named after a tarot card, it's not clear if he had an association with DIO and he's never seen again after defeat. His namesake is the song, Mannish Boy, by Muddy Waters. "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-3i0CFloQU Lali-Ho~]"

*'''Cameo & Judgement:''' The user of the stand, '''Judgement''', which looks robotic and can grant "wishes" that are all made to [[Tzeentch|backfire]]. After finding Judgement in a genie's lamp, one wish, a "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlqMB23QfH0 HAIL 2 U!]" and the possibility of becoming a famous manga artist to become bigger than Disney and build "Polnareffland", Polnareff wishes for his sister to be brought back to life but there is a twist. Judgement creates an incomplete copy of her out of sand that believes it will only becomes whole by eating Polnareff and the same happens when he creates a clone of Avdol. Before Judgement can have the clones kill Polnareff, Avdol makes his grand return [https://youtu.be/JXj0qn0DBdQ "YES! I AM!"] After forcing Judgement to retreat, Avdol and Polnareff find Cameo hiding underground and do some good old male bonding into his breathing tube before being giving him his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS3nur6o6ME "HELL 2 U!"] Cameo's namesake is the singer of the same name, ''Cameo''.

*'''Midler:''' The final of the Tarot assassins sent after the Crusaders. Her Stand, '''High Priestess''', can possess and transform any mineral matter. She first attacked the Crusaders on their submarine by taking the form of different objects to surprise them. It took the form of a giant face to drown the Crusaders when they were fleeing their sinking submarine, only for Jotaro Kujo MD to do some dental work on her, ORA ORA ORA style. Only seen in the manga and anime as being knocked the fuck out with Polnareff saying her teeth were all gone. When Capcom made the fighting game, they asked Araki to draw a more presentable design for her, and delivered with [[PROMOTIONS|a smokin' hot belly dancer.]] Araki apparently liked this design enough to make it canon, as it appears in later artbooks for the series. Some of her artwork in the PS1 game is redrawn art of Yukako Yamagishi from Part 4, most notably her character select portrait. Her namesake is the singer, ''Bette Midler''.

<h5><span style='color:orange;font-size:115%'>The Egyptian 9 Glory Gods</span></h5>
As the Stardust Crusaders arrived in Egypt, <s>Araki</s> DIO realized he'd gone through almost the entire Major Arcana from the standard Tarot deck and needed a new naming gimmick. To this end, DIO personally met with each of these assassins and sent them out to finish the Stardust Crusaders once and for all. All of their Stands' namesakes are the Egyptian Gods and they are, for the most part, just as dangerous as any of the previous enemies faced (if not more so, since most of them required some amount of teamwork to defeat).

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

*'''N'Doul''': A blind man who possesses '''Geb''', a liquid-based Stand capable of traveling underground to strike from unexpected directions. While ''Geb'' can be used from a long distance; N'Doul can't see, so he had to rely on vibrations he felt in the ground in order to track his victims. Despite [https://youtu.be/G8mW8SJUrZc?t=588 his handicaps], he was able to incapacitate most of the Crusaders, outmaneuvering Avdol and most notably injuring Kakyoin's eyes to a degree that he needed medical attention. He was defeated when Jotaro found him using Iggy and had a literal ''stand-off'' with him. He kills himself using ''Geb'' as an act of loyalty to DIO before talking about the other Egyptian 9 Glory Gods, something Jotaro respects and gives him a proper burial for. 

[[File: Oingo & Boingo.png|250px|right|thumb|As long as we don't fail any Stealth or Luck Checks, they don't stand a chance.]]
*'''The Oingo Boingo Brothers''': Brothers who are both stand-wielders and work as a pair, Oingo is the taller one who does all of talking while Boingo is the shorter, introverted one. Oingo possessed "''Khnum''", a Stand that allows him to alter his physical characteristics to disguise himself as another person, but he can apparently only change his body (though he possibly used his hair to disguise his hat). Boingo possessed "''Tohth (Thoth)''", a Stand taking the form of [[Just as planned|a manga that can predict the future with 100% accuracy]], but only describes specific events and none in-between  in addition to being vague on minor details.''Thoth's'' predictions had to be obeyed to the exact detail, otherwise, [[Not as planned|consequences will happen now or later]]. The two originally attempted to assassinate the Crusaders, with failures leading Oingo to disguise himself as Jotaro to plant a bomb disguised as an orange. Despite succeeding, Oingo became the victim of the explosion instead of Jotaro because he effectively became Jotaro (which he saw coming, but kept going because of his trust in Boingo). Regrouping, the Brothers end up hospitalized without the Crusaders knowing due to a previous prediction going awry. Boingo is later kidnapped by Hol Horse and convinced into helping him despite Hol Horse initially not believing in ''Thoth's'' predictions. Everything goes exceedingly well until Hol Horse messes up a prediction and is ['''RETIRED!'''] leaving Boingo on his own. Boingo decides to change and use his predictions for good but this was before being mauled by Iggy, leaving him even more perturbed. The Brothers are notable for causing the art style to change to be more abstract with exaggerated features as this is how everything appears in Thoth's pages. The art change was expanded into giving them their own outro in the anime, where the [https://youtu.be/ZnC1sQXTCtI Brothers sing about themselves and their stands]. Their namesake is the band, ''Oingo Boingo'', which is censored to Oing & Voing and later "Zenyatta & Mondatta", an album by "The Police", in other material.

*'''Mariah''': She's a hot Little Red Riding Hood who's completely devoted to DIO out of her attraction to him. By touching random conspicuous outlets, the Stand '''Bast''' allows Mariah to turn her victims into living magnets that can attract anything metallic, though the power of this magnetism is based upon how close she is and how much time has passed. Mariah instigated one of the more, if not the most, comical fights in all of JoJo by causing Joseph and Avdol to become magnetized and stuck together in compromising positions. With the way ''Bast'' works, they had an embarrassing time tracking her down as she was able to evade them and keep her distance as the effect would wear off if she wasn't close enough.  When Joseph and Avdol seeming corner her from opposite sides, their magnetism keeps them from moving. Mariah was defeated when she failed to realize that Joseph and Avdol were strongest magnetized objects nearby and they crush her between them, knocking her out. Her namesake is the singer, ''Mariah Carey'' but her name was censored in the past to "Mahrahia" in Heritage for the Future. She is normally depicted with bluish white or plain white hair, but keeping in line with JoJo's fluid colorations she's blonde in the official colored manga.

*'''Alessi:''' A sadistic, axe-wielding man who controls the stand '''Sethan''', who takes the form of a bird-like shadow with large eyes while its other features are only visible from the side. Alessi enjoys picking on things weaker than him, especially children, to the point that many call him a pedophile. Being a shadow, Sethan can reflect his actions and what he's holding to extend its reach and it can also make some parts of itself tangible in order to inflict physical damage. Sethan's most dangerous power, however, is that anyone who comes into contact with it will be de-aged and lose their memories over time. In a bizarre turn of events, Alessi turns Polnareff into an 8-year old boy, attempts to kill him but fails as he didn't count on a child still having a stand. A female stranger takes Polnareff in to her home after finding him and while she was giving him a bath, Alessi de-ages her into a fetus. [[Wat|A kid Polnareff ends up running around fully naked while holding the dying fetus of his good Samaritan, while being continually de-aged and hunted by Alessi like a deranged pedophile]]. Alessi is beaten when he encounters Jotaro and after de-aging him to 7 years old, is knocked out because Jotaro is really strong even as a child. When he wakes up, Alessi is truly ['''RETIRED!'''] when Jotaro and Polnareff beat him down for good.  He's notable for recreating the [[meme|infamous]] [https://youtu.be/gpCUMdfRa9w "Heeere's Johnny!"] scene from ''The Shining'', and his ability to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjmfggHOvYo transform characters] in ''Heritage for the Future'', his namesake is the duo band, ''The Alessi Brothers''.

*'''Anubis:''' '''Anubis''' is a stand that inhabits a sword with its original user being long dead, it has absorbed the skills of its past users and opponents. Anubis has the ability to pass through things it doesn't want to cut, the ability to memorize his opponents' moves (making sure the same tricks don't work twice), and the ability to possess whoever wields the sword. This makes Anubis a trifecta of a threatening opponent, and this leads to probably the longest fight in Jojo history between switching wielders five times from farmer named Chaka, a barber named Khan, Polnareff, and lastly, a child. The sword almost kills Jotaro, but he's able to shatter the sword to the hilt with the blade ending up in the Nile River. Its an odd bit in that despite Anubis being forged in ancient Egypt, he is shaped and handled like a Japanese Katana (likely indicating history's first proto-weeaboo was Egyptian). Chaka and Khan together have a namesake in singer, ''Chaka Khan''. In the PS1/Arcade game, Anubis is playable as three different characters, Chaka, Khan, and Anubis Polnareff (or Black Polnareff because putting "black" in your name and having your skin color become a shade of brown apparently means "evil version" or "possessed").

*'''Daniel J. D'Arby (D'Arby the Elder):''' The only real fight the heroes couldn't just punch, D'Arby is a professional gambler and cheater whose stand, '''Osiris''', works on psychology. Those who admit defeat in their hearts get their souls ripped out and turned into poker chips for his games so long as it was bet. He's so <u>''good''</u> at cheating that he found a way to cheat a coin drop game against Joseph. Osiris also affords D'Arby with enhanced tactile senses, to the extent that he can tell what a face down card actually is through touch alone. Jotaro broke his two of fingers to keep him from sneaking cards when they set-up poker, but even this doesn't stop him having a kid who works for him rig the game regardless. D'Arby is defeated when, upon seeing ''Star Platinum's'' speed, he begins suspecting that Jotaro cheated even though D'arby himself has extremely <u>''good''</u> cards and ''knows'' that Jotaro <u>''should''</u> have a bad hand. When Jotaro keeps raising the bet with the souls of Avdol, Kakyoin, and ''his mother'', and demands that his opponent ante up with information about DIO's stand, D'Arby psyches himself out so badly that in one of the most well-done scenes in the [https://youtu.be/WP1arj7AYuI Anime], [https://youtu.be/DoXR23BMAvU?t=1316 OVA], AND [https://youtu.be/v_GbKz0E8Nk?t=406 Abridged Series], he fails to call the bluff and has a complete mental breakdown. His breakdown releases all of the souls he collected and becomes unresponsive when asked about DIO's Stand. He's popular in the fandom for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI5bg6KEXXA his hilarious attempt at southern-accented Engrish]. He started the trend of gambler characters in later parts exclaiming "'''''Good!'''''" when a bet is made.

*'''Pet Shop:''' Dio's pet falcon who's as crazy as any other assassin in the series. Its Stand, '''Horus''', can create and manipulate ice to lay traps and launch spikes like homing missiles. He's either very smart for what he is or extremely territorial as he killed the informant that was at the mansion gate so he wouldn't report back to the Crusaders. Iggy opts to avoid him when he sees that Pet Shop had impaled two dogs' heads on a spike, but decides to fight him when the dogs' owner shows up. When Iggy tries to escape, the guard falcon displays how fixed on killing him it is by diving underground after him. Pet Shop is killed when he tries to shoot ice of his beak before Iggy launches himself at him and bites it closed which leads to him exploding. Pet Shop's also infamous for being hilariously broken in any game he appears in, because he's a bird with all the frozen [[Dakka]] he could ever need while everyone else is stuck on the ground. Perpetuating the saying "FUCKING HORUS!" beyond the realms of the Imperium. He's also the only villain none of the Crusaders but Iggy encountered (except maybe Boingo), his namesake is the electric pop band ''Pet Shop Boys''.

=====DIO's Caretakers=====
[[File:Gamer Life.png|500px|thumb|right|To be good at games is to be a transcendent being, equal to the Gods, omniscient.]]
*'''Telence T. D'Arby (D'Arby the Younger):''' Daniel J. D'Arby's younger brother by 10 years who is highly proficient in videogames and last of the Egyptian 9 Glory Gods. Similarly to Daniel, his stand '''Atum''' both sucks out souls when they admit defeat or are defeated by him and relies on psychology, but he has the added ability of being able to read the souls of his opponents to decipher their strategies, but can only decipher them through yes or no questions. Unlike his older brother, he binds the souls of his victims into wooden dolls as trophies, [[Grimdark|complete with them being fully conscious]]. Telence has a dislike for his brother as he believes he is better and that Daniel is scared of him as Daniel would never play games with him like he believed normal brothers would; furthermore, Daniel apparently apologized to him after Telence physically beat Daniel for trying to steal his girlfriend. He claims he doesn't cheat like his brother, but his planning ahead allowed him to beat Kakyoin in a racing game and his ability to read souls let him outplay Jotaro in a baseball game. Jotaro defeats him when he finds a way to cheat by having Joseph use Hermit Purple to play the game in his stead. Since Telence lacks his brother's intuition he was unable to see through the trick until it was too late, and as Jotaro points out, Daniel would've noticed easily. He's not as lulzy in terms of accents as his brother, but his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yieQpgvjAq0 video games deliver the encounter's much-needed Engrish] and the [https://youtu.be/ZznVQd4q2JI soul-reading dialogue] is a nice touch. Telence shares his namesake with brother, musician ''Terence Trent D'arby''.

*'''Kenny G.:''' One of DIO's more minor henchmen, his Stand is '''Tenore Sax''', which is an illusionary stand that manifests as an endless labyrinth. While seemingly a daunting foe; he was quickly detected by Iggy and disabled. Pretty much a joke character, but his Stand is notable for being named after an instrument rather than a song, band or performer.

*'''Nukesaku:''' The only one of DIO's henchmen not to wield a stand or be named after a musician, Nukesaku is a runt vampire, who's only power besides being vampire is that the back of his head has a female face to disguise himself. Needless to say, even his only shtick was horrible and Jotaro decided to test his immortality by ORA ORA ORAing him into submission. He is killed by DIO after willingly leading the crusaders into DIO's main chamber. A hilarious note is that "Nukesaku" is not really his name, in Japanese it roughly translates to "Idiot". People just call him that so much that it became more common to call him idiot, rather than his real name. He's called "Loser" in the English dub.

*'''Vanilla Ice:''' DIO's most fanatical and powerful vampiric servant...who appears to have taken fashion tips from the Pillar Men. Vanilla Ice became a vampire after Dio tested his loyalty by saying he needed his blood to fully regenerate, where he went the extra mile by using his own stand to decapitate himself without hesitation. Impressed by his devotion (or maybe it was his [[/d/|massive bulge]]) DIO used his blood to resurrect Vanilla Ice, granting him near-immortality. His stand is named '''Cream''', a humanoid monster that has a unique ability where it swallows itself (and Vanilla Ice) in order to become [[Sphere of Annihilation|a null void, literally wiping out chunks of reality]] like the Eldar's D-Cannons. This power is so fucking awesome that it killed Avdol effortlessly, leaving only a pair of arms on the floor. He then killed Iggy by kicking him to near death, out of rage when they tried and failed to assassinate him with a sand clone of DIO (he was forced to destroy the clone with his master's image, which made him ballistic). He would have likely killed Polnareff as well but DIO forgot to tell him that sunlight would incinerate him, which Polnareff used to kill him after he shrugged off every other attack used on him. He's named after American rapper: ''Vanilla Ice'', although due to copyright concerns, he's named as "Cool Ice" in the English dub.
