Not only that, but the cosplayer has added a cool sound effect in katakana for an extra manga feel, and the cosplayer’s cool, stylish hair really makes the piece pop. Dio is a villain however, he looks great.

Before the great Stands were introduced, such as Star Platinum in Stardust Crusaders, there was Hamon The sun’s power and breath. Jonathan Joestar learned the ways of Hamon from Baron Zeppeli and then he was an incredibly powerful vampire slayer.
