The two quickly greet each other. Danny, Johnathan's beloved dog also come to greet the new guest, only to be brutally kick by Dio, whose reasons was a simple ''I don't like dogs''.

    Johnathan's immediate reaction to this was anger, but he keeps himself calm, and doesn't attack Dio. After their first scrimmage Dio enacts his plan on making Johnathan go crazy and becoming the sole heir of the Joestar fortune. Jonathan, not knowing of Dio's wicked plans, still tries to forge a friendship with his new brother,only to be constantly bullied and insulted; soon even Jonathan's father George starts to prefer Dio over his own son.

    One day JoJo invites Dio to a friendly boxing match, during the match Dio, while cheating, nearly blinds JoJo and tells all his friend that JoJo is a ''tattletale'' and shows off some fireworks.

    After hearing the new, he rushes home and gives Dio an anger fueled beating,while both notice that when Dio's blood landed on the mysterious mask on the wall, spikes flew out of its back. After the humiliation of getting beat, Dio response to this is to secretly have Danny, JoJo's dog accidentally burned by a servant

After this incident the two ultimately stop their constant bickering and slowly became brothers, or so it seemed. 7 year after having his dog killed and losing his developing love with Erina, Jonathan tries hard to accept Dio as his brother, but ultimately cannot truth him. Jonathan is later seen at his father George Joestar bedside as George slowly succumb to an unknown illness.

    The unknown sickness is shown to be caused by Dio as a ploy to gain the Joestar riches.
