Read Quran !!top!! - Dio

“Perhaps,” Dio said aloud, his voice rising, carrying a theatrical weight. “The faithful submit to God because they cannot overcome Him. But I... I am a DIO. I do not submit.”

He stood up, the leather of his jacket creaking. He felt a sudden urge to test the words against reality. He summoned his Stand. A golden, muscular figure materialized behind him, looming over the mansion, fists clenched, radiating an aura of pure time.

Further criticism arose because Dio was depicted reading the sacred text while shirtless and in a "spiritually impure" setting, which is considered highly disrespectful in Islamic tradition.

Dio’s reaction wouldn't be fear. It would be dio read quran

This is the visceral detail. The Quran forbids consuming blood (it is considered haram or impure). It also frames the undead not as powerful, but as tormented.

"You disapprove, JoJo?" Dio whispered, tapping his own temple. "You always were too bound by the rules of men. But look at this text. It speaks of the Straight Path. But there are many paths to heaven, aren't there? Mine is simply... steep."

He stopped at a verse in Surah Al-Baqarah. “And He is the One Who gave you life, then causes you to die, and then will give you life again.”

The scene went largely unnoticed until 2007–2008, when pirated versions of the OVA with Arabic subtitles began circulating online.

He felt a stirring in his mind—Jonathan’s lingering consciousness. A ripple of distaste, a spiritual nausea at the blasphemy of using holy words to justify a vampiric existence. Dio smiled, his fangs glinting.
