The World

"You fool, find out for yourself. The true power of The World, as its name suggests, is the power to reign supreme over the world!" - DIO Part 3 (DIO, ディオ)

Summary:

The World
Destructive power	A
Speed	A
Durability	A

The World is the Stand of DIO, the main antagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. This stand also has a shiny counterpart of itself: Retro The World.

The World is an exceptionally powerful Close-range Stand, much like Star Platinum. With its powerful dealing moves, this stand can be very powerful when utilized correctly.

This Stand is a part of the Arrow Stand Pool, in which it has a 2% chance (S-Tier percentage) of obtaining from a Stand Arrow. As for its shiny, there is a 1% chance (S+ Tier percentage) of obtaining it.

Appearance:

The World has a very muscular appearance and humanoid build, similar to Star Platinum. It wears a heart-shaped headpiece, covering its face to below the place of its nose.

The main color scheme of the stand is yellow, with shades of grey and neon green on different parts of its body. The back of both its hands bears the shape of a humanoid face. Its chin, the base of its abdomen, penile region, chin, and knees are topped by neon green heart shapes.

As for the shiny, Retro The World has a more white, gray, and golden color scheme. Golden hearts are placed around on the Stand. On its back are twin diving cylinders, connected via short twin ridged cables to the rear of its mask; perhaps secured by thick, ridged, or puffed straps running from the rear of its waist over both its shoulders to its front.

Movesets/Abilities:

Key	Name	Description	Damage	Cooldown
Hold	MUDA Barrage	The World sends a flurry of 40 quick punches or kicks with speed similar to Star Platinum's ORA barrage. It has a 50/50 percent chance of kick or punching barrage	Superior Strength5 damage per punch	5 seconds
	WRRRYY Strike	The World strikes your opponent with a very strong punch dealing incredible damage	Incredible Strength35 damage	5 seconds
	Knife Throw	The player throws a knife. This move is ideally used to pick off enemies from long distances and can be used every three seconds. The knife will do incredible amounts of damage if thrown close to the victim during Time Stop.	Moderate Damage15 damage per knife	3 seconds
Cursor on target +	Impaling Thrust	The World shortly stops time and teleports behind your opponent thrusting it‘s fist into them, This attack cannot be dodged	Superior Damage50 damage	25 seconds
	Timestop	The World stops time while the player shouts "Za Warudo, Toki wo tomare!" (via DIO's audio). This freezes all users in the server for up to 5 seconds, but this will hardly apply to Star Platinum users, as they can move within the stopped time for 3 seconds. This also applies to Star Platinum: The World. However, Simply pressing F will end your Time Stop early. It can be hard to kill with this if the opponent has A or higher durability. Note: Other stands such as Made in Heaven or Gold Experience (Requiem) can simply eliminate your time stop, causing time to resume. Tusk Act 4 can move through stopped time.	No DamageN/A	40 seconds
	Stand Jump	Shared with many other stands. Leap high into the air with the help of your stand, covers good horizontal and vertical distance.	No DamageN/A	15 seconds

Removed Abilities:

J (During Timestop) - Timestop Donut

You need to Timestop in order hit J. The World will donut the player dealing massive damage. This ability was removed after the Road Roller update. This can only be used during a time stop.

Evolved Forms:

(LMB + DIO's Diary) - The World (Over Heaven)

After defeating the likes of DIO, the user will glance at the secretive, vague paths retold to attain heaven. The stand user thrusts up Dio's diary into the air, and thus evolves The World's ultimate form: "The World: Over Heaven."  Its shiny: Retro The World: Over Heaven can be obtained by using a Diary on RTW.

(LMB + Vampire Mask) - Vampiric The World

The player pulls out The Vampire Mask and holds it up to the air. The player then forcefully shoves the Vampire Mask into the user's face. Instantly, The World will ascend into its Vampiric form, granting the player: "Vampiric The World. This stand's shiny: The World Greatest High can be obtained by using a Vampire Mask on RTW.

Trivia:

The World:

• The World is one of the earliest Stands in the game, being created when it first started production, with Pot Platinum being the first.
• The World voice lines are, “ABSOLUTE WEAKLING!", “WRYYYY", and, "If this was a game of chess, this would count as checkmate".
• The stand's design is based on the mascot for the band Dio, specifically the giant monster posing in the album cover of Holy Diver. The design of the Stand plays on the theme of a literal diver, featuring an oxygen tank on the back of The World.
• This stand is based on the anime color scheme of The World, rather than the manga colors, which are various shades of yellow.
• This stand has become somewhat 'rare' as most people want to trade for it, quite possibly because of its various evolutions (especially Shadow The World).
• When doing a WRYYY Strike (R move), The World rotates its fist the same way it did in the manga/anime when it donuted Kakyoin in stopped time. This is also shared with any version of The World expect Shadow The World since it does an uppercut.

• Upon posing, it will play Dark Rebirth; this supposed to be Shadow The World's pose music.
