Huh... I actually agree with a lot of that. I would like to say that the part-ending abilities are also significant as they cheapen the part’s ending and unjustly defeats the villain without giving a good strategy or something sensible. That being said, I can totally understand your point of view. It doesn’t really make sense that DIO would know all of these very specific things that would just happen to create a perfected stand. There wasn’t really any way for him to find this out. And DIO from Part 6 felt like a completely different character than DIO from parts 1 and 3. There was also no foreshadowing to it, so that definitely makes it an asspull. As for your claim that he would think that he could achieve heaven without fighting Jotaro... I’m not so sure about that. As previously mentioned, he needed joestar blood to get his body under his complete control. It doesn’t surprise me that he would want that even if he could achieve heaven. He would also want to defeat the crusaders first, as they are his greatest threat. Another thing that bothers me about the whole heaven thing was that the only one who could possibly achieve it was Pucci. I mean, isn’t having your main villain the only person who could possibly achieve the supposed greatest power in the universe a little too convenient? I get that Araki has this consistent theme of destiny, but I think that is too much even for that.
