“	You fell for it, idiot! THUNDER CROSS SPLIT ATTACK!	„
	~ Dire to Dio Brando

Background

Dire is a secondary ally to Jonathan Joestar in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood. He is a close friend of Will Anthonio Zeppeli who came to aid Jonathan by Will's request through a letter. Like Will he was a Hamon user trained under Tonpetty. He would meet his end while fighting against Dio Brando. Right before he was about to die he would use a Hamon infused rose to harm Dio which gave Jonathan the idea to use his sword to counteract Dio's flash freezing allowing him to ultimately win the battle.

Dio can casually borrow his fingers within brick, cut several policemen in half, smash a head to bits, casually cut off a police officer's head, bend and snap a thick iron spear with ease, casually break through the wall through just walking on it, smash through the Joestar mansion's roof, break the bones of an enraged Jonathan Joestar, who can stab a spear into a stone wall and break a stone wall by kicking it, causally borrow his fingers within stone, dig through a stone pillar and was noted to be five times stronger than the combined power of Pre-Deep Pass Overdrive Jonathan Joestar and Will Anthonio Zeppeli, the latter of who can spilt a rock in half and destroy brick. Jonathan notes Dio is on a completely different level then himself during the fire. Dio is also stronger than his Stardust Crusaders self, who can redirect Hierophant Green's Emerald Splash with enough force to destroy the roof of a car and with enough force to create an explosion of this level of energy, along with being able to punch Jean Pierre Polnareff with enough force to send him flying into a wall destroying it in the process. Dio is superior to his minions, who can throw a wagon with enough force to destroy the roof of a tunnel. Dio should be comparable to other vampires, who can break stone floors and break stone walls by punching small dogs at them)

Durability: Wall level+ (Took a hit from Jonathan Joestar)

Striking Strength: Wall Class+

Lifting Strength: Superhuman (Should be comparable to Jonathan Joestar, who can pull back and lift Tarkus, who is far bigger than the average human, break off a steal chain, and lift and anvil)

Travel Speed: Superhuman (Went through similar Hamon training to Will Anthonio Zeppeli who was able to disappear from Jonathan Joestar's sight and then appear Infront of him. Should be comparable to Jonathan Joestar, who's speed matches Dio, who was said to be as fast as a leopard, who moves at around 36 mph)

Combat Speed: Supersonic (Tagged Jonathan Joestar who blocked a hit from Dio Brando who's weaker self can tag Star Platinum, who can catch a bullet that's about to hit Jotaro Kujo's head, tag and block hits from Sliver Chariot amplified by Anubis, who even while weakened and not amplified can block bullets, is superior to his Part 4-6 self, who can stop time before bullets hit Jolyne Cujoh, and stop time before bullets could hit Enrico Pucci. DIO himself can stop time before shotgun bullets hit him)

Reaction Speed: Supersonic

Stamina: Superhuman (Went through similar Hamon training to Will Anthonio Zeppeli, who early in his Hamon training he was able to run dozens of Li without need for catching his breath. Hamon can allow users to go long periods of time without food, drink, or rest and run for hundreds of kilometers with ease)

Range: Standard Melee Range, Extended Melee Range with Hamon (Hamon users can use their Hamon to extend their limbs, pressurize liquid into a small ranged projectile, and send it through walls to hits opponents)

Intelligence: Genius (Created the Thunder Cross Spilt Attack which before his fight with Dio was undefeatable. Went through similar Hamon training to Will Anthonio Zeppeli, who trained in Hamon for decades and learned from those who had five thousand years of history behind their methods. Will Taught Jonathan Joestar how to properly use his Hamon. Jonathan Joestar is able to defeat Bruford, who completed the 77 Rings challenge that has only been completed by five knights, which requires those who partake in it to fight seventy seven knights in a row while having to carry more weight each battle. Will Knew how to minimize the damage he took when an attack that would hit him from any direction was about to injure him)

Notable Techniques

• Hamon: Hamon, also know as Ripple is life energy that produces the same type of energy waves as the sun. These waves are created by breathing in a special way that allows the user to use the energy produced by blood flow throughout the body. Hamon can be used to amplify the user's strength, heal wounds and diseases, send energy through objects, walk on water, and more. Hamon is especially good at harming vampires as it is their main weakness.
• Thunder Split Attack: Dire jumps into an opponent and when they block his attack he counter attacks by splitting his legs while they are grabbed by the opponent. This makes it so the opponent can't the incoming attack from Dire by blocking with their hands
• Thunder Cross Split Attack: A similar attack to the Thunder Spilt Attack but Dire first approaches by creating afterimages. He then jumps into the opponent but unlike the Thunder Spilt Attack he crosses his arms and allowing him to attack the opponent and defend himself at the same time. Before his fight with Dio nobody has ever beaten this attack.
• Ripple Overdrive: A basic form of attacking using ripple to amplify his attacks to a superhuman degree. Dire used a Hamon infused rose to harm Dio during their battle.

---

Other

Standard Tactics: Dire will usually approach his opponent and use his Thunder Spilt Attack or his Thunder Cross Spilt Attack.

Weaknesses: If he can't breath he will eventually run out of Hamon. If he where to transfer his life energy to someone else he would rapidly age until he becomes an old man. His Thunder Spilt Attack leaves him open for a headbutt. His Thunder Spilt Attack and his Thunder Cross Spilt Attack are slow in comparison to his other attacks.
