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)

Powers and Abilities

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.
- 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 Dire were to use Ultimate Deep Pass Overdrive he will 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.
