However at that point it was shown that they found that some people could live with the "virus" which gave them stands. So these things could have done one of two things, painfully killing anyone who was pierced by them, and giving them possibly dangerous powers (which he did and condoned both) these things were dangerous enough that when they were found in greenland they were hidden underground in egypt. he still uknowingly gave superpowers to a sadistic madman vampire, a gay priest that eventually restarted the universe, and created an entire mafia and manipulated itally from the shadows by giving people stands or murdering those who couldnt gain them. That while unintention is still his fault and thats just an overview of some of the things he contributed to if not outright did. Honestly for the literal mayhem and destruction this guy caused he really does deserve to suffer forever. Not like a sadistic mad man like him doesnt deserve a worse hell anyway(as far as i know that does exist in jojo) Well now you're just factually wrong. The Arrowheads were found when Diavolo was 19, around '86 or '87. It's on his page, on this wiki. That you didn't bother to double check, when it's a few clicks away, is a bit aggravating.

And, while, yes, about a decade before that, the incident with the meteorite occurred, it doesn't seem to have been common knowledge. Assuming it's not a bullsh*t conspiracy theory or urban legend Pollnareff dug up from somewhere on the internet. I've always been skeptical about Polnareff's hypothesis about the Arrows' origins, at least partially because it's coming from the comedy relief of Part III.

And, even if it was, why in the world would Diavolo assume that the meteoric iron Arrowheads he found in Egypt were made from materials found in Greenland? That's a pretty big jump to make. And, again, that assumes Pollnareff wasn't just wrong, and that Diavolo knew about said meteorite. Which seems likely. If the meteorite was a well-known thing, I'd assume some like Jotaro or Joseph would figure out the link before Polnareff.

So, no. He sold what he might, or might not, have known were Stand-granting Arrowheads to an old lady, who was, I will remind you, a fortune-teller. Enya seems to know a lot about the supernatural. She was likely guided to Diavolo by Fate, or her Sight. Probably knew more about them than he did.

And no, Pucci and DIO's actions are still not Diavolo's fault. If you really want to use that logic, then I'd like to point out that Erina, and potentially Johnathan, are equally responsible for all that crap. Because their actions were what allowed DIO to be around in the first place, if Erina really was the one who out him back in his coffin. Or, hell, you could blame Jotaro for all the deaths Pucci caused, since his actions, like reading DIO's diary and coming to see Jolyne, directly lead to that. Hell, you could probably add Jolyne to that, for going for the disc and Anasui instead of stopping Pucci.

Stop trying to blame Diavolo for other people's actions. The man has done more than enough worth condemnation, you don't need to try and pin Pucci and DIO's bullsh*t on him too. Playing a role in something doesn't mean you're responsible for it. It's the people who actually did the terrible thing's fault. I'm really hoping you only apply that sort on logic to debates on the Internet, because that sort of reasoning can cause...issues.
