You Thought It Would Be a Funny Meme but It Was Me Dio
JoJo's Bizarre Adventurehas made quite a name for itself, not just in the anime community but also in the ever-changing crazy and hilarious world of memes. The anime lives up to the "bizarre" part of its name. Because of that unapologetic insanity present throughout the series, there were plenty of scenes and quotes that became perfect meme-material. Though it seems the enigmatic Dio became a prime meme target.
Dio's over-the-top flare and attitude made him meme-able from the very start, and the proof is in the classic "But it was me, Dio!" line he shouts in the first episode after stealing Erina's first kiss from Jonathan (the first JoJo). This scene became instantly iconic, and as such, a ton of great memes spawned from it.
10 A New Challenger Approaches!
One of the biggest crossovers in all of gaming,Super Smash Bros.has really brought in characters from across the video game spectrum that nobody expected.Metal Gear Solid,Final Fantasy,and evenMinecraftare just a few of the wild representatives Nintendo has allowed into theSmash roster. Still, surely this is exclusive to just video game characters, right?
In this meme, Dio hijacks whoever the next spot will go to, declaring himself the nextSmash Bros.character. While it'd be awesome to see Dio added to the game, it's likely his Stand, The World, would probably be game-breaking.
9 358/ 2 Days, Dio Mix
TheKingdom Heartsseries is sort of notorious for a very complicated plot and some bizarre story beats, just notJoJo'slevel of bizarre. At least until this meme made the rounds. Towards the end of the spin-off game358/2,Xion takes off her hood in front of Roxas to reveal her face has become Sora's, leading into an emotional boss fight. Here, things take a different approach.
Instead of Sora, Xion's has Dio's face and surprising Roxas and the viewer. That final confrontation between friends would've been a lot stranger if this was what actually happened.
8 But It Was Always Dio
JoJoreally has taken the world by storm in the last few years, and Dio is definitely a big contributing factor in that equation. Though here, it's a bit more literal. Using the astronaut "Always Has Been" meme template, the world is revealed to be all Dio, his sinister grin saying it all without the need for captions.
It's quite the shock and one that the second astronaut is keen on keeping hidden, probably for the best. A Dio world might be a bit too weird for the average person to accept, especially to the non-JoJofans.
7 Who's That Pokémon?
Dio may have happily thrown away his humanity, but this is just something else entirely. In this meme, Dio takes on the three-headed bird Pokémon, Dodrio. This Pokémon may not be a Legendary, but it would be if hilarity were a stat.
The best part of this is seeing Dio's smug face recreated three times, like some bird-like Cerberus, to fit this Pokémon's body, while it loudly opens its beak to scream, "But it was me, Dodrio!". If this version of Dodrio had a Pokédex entry, it'd probably be fascinating.
6 Attack On Dio
There are memes, and then there are memes within memes, something that thisAttack on Titan/JoJomeme manages to pull off with hilarious results. Starting as the typical "sorry that was a strange thing to ask" meme from Commander Erwin, the tables are turned on poor Eren when he turns to see that Dio has stolen the third panel.
This meme manages to playoff expectations for what most expect from this meme template and then subvert them by pulling that bait-and-switch at the end. Not to mention, this meme also starts with the classic question of "Is this a JoJoreference?", by the end of this, it definitely is.
5 "It's-A Me, Dio!"
Everybody knows and loves Nintendo's iconic plumber, Mario. From his red hat to his bushy mustache, it's hard to find anyone who doesn't know of this beloved platform-jumping mascot. It looks like even Dio does too, and decided to surprise anyone expecting to see Mario.
With Mario's red hat and mustache combo, Dio reveals his true identity, ripping off his mustache in the process. That alone makes this meme pretty funny, but the extreme close-up as the captions read "Dio" makes it more intense and funny at the same time.
4 Wicked Lord Dio
Rikka Takanashi from the rom-com AnimeLove, Chunibyo & Other Delusionsbelieves her eye to have been possessed by "Wicked Lord Shingan" and, as such, almost always wears an eyepatch. In truth, this is all just part of her delusional "Chunibyo" syndrome. There's not actually an evil presence within her eye...except for this meme right here.
Rikka removes her eyepatch, but Dio is there instead of the "Tyrant's Eye" (aka, a gold contact lens) in a shocking twist. It is a much more unexpected place to hide than a coffin under the sea.
3 Nobody Expects...
At this point, "But it was me, Dio!" has become such a popular meme that it actually gets harder and harder for the template to pull a fast one on unsuspecting viewers. With the unexpected element of Dio's surprise becoming more expected, those who post memes end up having to get more creative, leading to hilarious results like this.
In this meme, Dio plays on that expectation and turns it on its head, reveals to be "The Spanish Inquisition" fromMonty Python's Flying Circus.It is hard to expect what nobody ever expects.
2 Oh Yeah!
There might be a mascot for soft drinks more recognizable than the Kool-Aid Man. This giant pitcher of cherry-flavored drink has been busting through walls for decades to deliver refreshing drinks to all...but not this time! In this meme, Dio's face is superimposed onto the Kool-Aid Man's pitcher and smashes through the wall, to the shock and horror of the people around him.
The real kicker here is that instead of Kool-Aid, Dio is carrying one of the stone masks that turn people into vampires. With that in mind, cherry Kool-Aid might not be what Dio's pitcher is full of right now.
1 "Oh? You're Approaching This Well-Balanced Breakfast?"
Dio has been many things, but what about the mascot for his own cereal? If that sounds ridiculous, that's only because it is, but it makes for a great meme concept. "DiO's" is as hilarious as it sounds, and while this fictional cereal box could've just been an "It was me, Dio!" joke and left it at that, but this meme has layers.
This sinister part of a complete breakfast is bursting at the seams with colorful loops,JoJoreferences, and even a fun little jab atDevil May Cry'sDante being in the cereal. It's truly a meme that gets funnier and funnier the more it's looked at.
