Can we go a week without a page getting locked, please?

I honestly think a category page would have sufficed for listing Dio's servents, but I let this page slide because it was such a non-issue. Since it's causing some type of controversy now, I guess we have to discuss it.

Regarding the Japanese, we only really put it to show the spelling that the manga or original source used, since the localized names are not always 1:1. Making up a Japanese spelling for a made-up phrase falsely implies that the phrase does officially exist when it doesn't.

As for the name itself, I skimmed through Stardust a bit and there is this one instance where they describe kakyoin as a 手下 to DIO. It translates to something like subordinate or underling, though the scanlation team used "agent." Something like Agents of Dio would work imo. It removes the fanatic connotation (since many of his servents work for money), but still sounds better than "group".
