What? Heaven Ascension DIO is non-canon and was done over a decade after the end of Part 6. DIU has no excuse for not deciding a villian that late on, even if it is a slice of life. It's still a Jojo part, and the rest were able to decide early on (with the exception of Part 8, which seems to have no villian. But at least they didn't juggle villians). Just because Phantom Blood is Araki's first "professional" work, doesn't mean it's automatically equal to the rest. Joseph being a master strategist doesn't put him above any other Jojo since it seems ALL of them can strategize really well. Which still doesn't explain his ability to predict lines just like that.
