@tatsuyaenthusiast: @angie >///< thanks for the inspiration #jojosbizarreadventure #jjba #steelballrun #johnnyjoestar #gyrozeppeli

Spligmus :

so you're saying Diego lost his humanity while Johnny gained his

Kirayoshikage :

Tbf Johnny steals the corpse anyway in jojolion

droppy21 :

I think another thing that makes it work is Diego thought that because of his situation he had to claw his way out. Scary monsters represents the society infecting him. But even when he’s given the world he cannot achieve his dreams

Knxghtfall :

excellent work i always hated au diego because personally i think he’s a bum compared to scary monsters diego and because the larps but perhaps your video showed me au diego from a better perspective

EmHypo :

as well au Diego is Araki also proving that if Johnny had spared Valentine, the Gyro he got would have been different

farell 💢 :

It also helps johnny let go of Gyro’s death, since Valentine went with the idea that he could bring back Gyro, seeing AU diego in action made Johnny understand people are very different through different AU’s, now he doesn’t regret not managing to get a deal with Valentine ! Because the only Gyro he loves is the Gyro that died, no other Gyro could be the one he’s attached to.

j :

and then it also repeats the jojo vs dio theme man Sbr is peak

nana :

I hate when people say High Voltage was fan service when Diego has BEEN involved in Johnny’s life since he was a child due to the heavy implication that he was responsible for Nicholas’ death. Mainline Diego is a version of Diego who spent majority of the time getting robbed such as his childhood, freedom with Scary Monsters (not even his OWN stand but instead someone else’s), his revenge and even his victory. AU Diego is a Diego who ACTUALLY got everything he wanted and is a representation of Diego at his worst after he possibly “won”. He’s much more vindictive, predatory, and flat out evil compared to mainline Diego who is ruthless and ambitious yet not as evil as he does things such as warn Gyro and Johnny to simply stay away from him.

Goo_LaaLaa :

thank you for making this, AU needed someone to finally point these things out instead of him just being framed a bum, I think he adds a lot to the ending of sbr and a much better way to wrap up Diego's character

91024 :

It also shows how Johnny choosing not to bring Gyro back was the right choice, even if valentine was lying about it. AU Diego being a completely different person from Diego shows that no matter what, even if valentine brought in gyro from another universe, it wouldn’t be the same person whatsoever

angie >///< :

omgg I can't believe my analysis actually inspired someone 😭😭 I'm glad that we both agree on where AU Diego stands and what his role is in the story

Syn :

It also completes Lucy’s character arc

Emil :

I also think it shows that Johnny was right in denying an au Gyro from Valentine, as you never know how different they could be

Raider 🥀🌊 :

Its also a really good idea to give him The World as his stand. The World is supposed to represent control and enforcing your own agency over the universe and other people, which fits perfectly for a version of Diego who has completed his goal to be on the top of society. Diego's story is fundamentally about the dangers of unchecked ambition. OG Diego is blinded by his ambition leading to his death, while AU Diego succeeds in becoming on top, but instead becomes the very thing he hated.

Eri Robinson :

I thought it was amazing when Johnny went after Au diego to get the corpse not for personal gain but to stop it from falling into the hands of evil. its why Johnny one of my favorite characters oat

randomguy :

johnny gained his humanity while Diego lost his" I can't be the only one feeling deja Vu rn

TheDrink :

It also perfectly justifies Johnny not taking Valentines deal, the Gyro he would have gotten IF Valentine held up his end would have been nothing like the Gyro he knew the whole journey

 :

so you're saying that dio lost his humanity...?

FWYBjaja :

au diego still sucks but good analysis

Barranker :

The better diego

Master Ollie :

so just well written fan service 😭✌️

tatsuyaenthusiast :

Armani :

The whole AU Diego was fan service is another tiktok opinion that only surfaced when sbr anime got announced

skibidi.mp4 :

while i agree with almost everything, i just wanted to point out that sm diego is far from innocent. his initial goal was simply to make money/get money. he married an old lady and was suspected of poisoning her for her money. however as he competes in the race, he discovers that he can become even more powerful, and that's where things start going downhill for him. au diego, on the other hand, feels like someone who has already embraced the that kind of power. they are like 2 brothers, one less evil than the other, one younger than the other (idk if it makes sense)

Aytee808 :

how do you think this changes after Johnny takes the corpse back and the George shit
