[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure] Diego Claims He Isn’t DIO

Also known as: Diego Claims He's Not DIO, and Every Time Someone Mistakes Me for DIO, What Should I Do? Asking Online

I am Diego Brando, not the original, forever a handsome twenty-year-old, a "gentleman of the racetrack" in nineteenth-century England.

My beloved horse is Miss Mercury, I like wearing checkered clothes, and I currently share a rental with my roommates at Araki Manor. So far, though, it seems only Kira and I are earning enough to pay rent.

I ran into Bucciarati in Naples, and he got me a job as a waiter.

I was happy, but a waiter's wages alone aren't enough. To borrow a line from JOJO, this DIO has a golden dream.

To race across the track once more.

That's right, so I need money. But this DIO has to earn it discreetly. I can't use terrifying beasts to rob people, not with the Schrödinger-like rules of Araki Manor.

But my new roommate's activities take place in the world where the vampire DIO lives.

As a result, people keep mistaking me for someone else, and it causes me no end of trouble.

This DIO suffers in silence. This DIO says nothing.
