1) I think that has something to do with a thing we call asspulling. 2) DIO had already used Time Stop for like 8 seconds, and then Jotaro activated his 2 or 3 or 4 (I can't remember), so DIO ran out of stopped time, sort of like how Jotaro did when he deflected most of those knives in the air, but some still hit him. 3) For someone to become a zombie, DIO has to leave some of his "vampiric essence" in them. DIO was low on fluids, and that's why he gave the woman the succ. It would be counterproductive for DIO to make a zombie when he's already low on fluids. 3) That and well... Joseph should've been a zombie in that case too, right? But what the person said, "vampiric essence" was lacking (so the person couldn't get infected) but also a zombie wouldn't be necessary for that fight, recharging was more useful. Also,we can say DIO "didn't get used to his body" (or maybe without "", I think it makes certain sense) so he can't do all the vampiric things he could (or maybe because it was human body in the first place).

And now rewatching the battle it does make sense that he went with his left leg because his right was broken. OK. But... why with a kick? Sure, TW did some kicks, but... punching is your thing, right? (I'm missing something. "Hey, my leg is broken, let's KICK!". Aight I guess) Also, I've just checked. Jotaro is blinded but SP isn't. I concur that it isn't unreasonable that DIO couldn't have known that but... other than character building that whole blood spiel was... can we say MUDA?

P.S. Can we discuss how DIO getting high did almost nothing for him (other than maybe let him pick up a rodo rora and have a longer time stop). Jotaro dealt with him about as easily as with his regular state.

PP.S. Now that I read this... what if that last battle was just Araki's anti-drug PSA? "Don't get high kids, or y'all gon get split"
