And Pucci was trying to justify his reasons, but he did some mass murder. Look at the maximum security ward incident and what C-Moon did at Cape Canaveral. Pucci will kill people for a selfless reason, but kills too many in the process. Funny Valentine only kills so many, and the people killed by Love Train aren't his fault. If Johnny, Lucy, and Gyro had not interfered, way less casualties would be present. Hey hey hey, Valentine said to Lucy "I'll have you be the replacement for my wife" after he confirmed Lucy really wasn't Scarlet. He also threatens to kill Steven and her father if she attempts to "escape" by killing herself.

Frankly, all the main villains are evil on the same level. As long as you kill someone because of your personal goals, regardless of the goal and regardless of the scale of your crimes, you are evil. Plain and simple. I completely forgot about that dialogue, mistake on my part. As for them being equal, the ones who did kill for personal goals were everyone except for Pucci and Funny Valentine. DIO, Kars, Kira, and Diavolo killed for a reason that benefited themselves. Valentine killed for his country's success, and Pucci killed for the benefit of the world. Which is terribly done on Araki's part, considering Dio isn't the kind of person to have good aspirations, and would never want to benefit the world. He literally wanted to be the king, after all Also, it's safe to assume that Pucci and Valentine wouldn't of even killed if they had the ability to do so easily. Characters like Dio were made twisted.
