Heaven Ascension DIO VS Word Devil (Black Clover)

Heaven Ascension DIO cannot use Time Stop

A fight using your Reality Warping powers

-Speed Equalized

-Both in Character

-Location: Open field

-Range: 2.5 meters

Votos:
 
Yeah, you can't restrict powers like that.

Plus, HAD needs to physically touch something to use Reality Overwrite.
 
Depending on what Devil's opening move is, Dio can just overwrite him out of reality.
 
Anything the devil says becomes reality. For example, he can say "Be Crushed" and Dio gets crushed, so any offensive word he says will one shot Dio.
 
Yes its called time stop. Or teleportation, or soul *******, or BFR through time-space, or his other handful of thought based powers.
 
What does he exactly starts with ?

Besides, Teleportation is useless and Soul Manipulation won't matter here either.
 
Teleportation matters greatly, he can literally teleport the word devil onto his fist or his fist onto it. Or he can just dump the word devil into a different universe in a different time. He can teleport himself as well as others. And I dont see a resistance to soul manip, so Dio can just eat his soul if he wants, which has multiversal+ range mind you.

He starts with time stop and OR when actually serious when he wants the target dead. Usually both. When playing around (which given that he only did against Jotaro, or characters that he wanted alive, he likely wont here) he usually uses cqc or soul/mind *****.

The Devil has the same teleportation as Dio, he can teleport him wherever he wants. Also the devil can still use his powers even as a soul
 
Dio's teleportion is literally multiversal+, no they dont have the same teleportation, the word devil's is drastically worse. If Dio wanted he could teleport the word devil 1000000000000000000000 universes away like ten million years into the past. And then attack him through time-space without eve being in the same universe or time at that.

Dio can absorb and eat souls, he cant use his powers after he's been absorbed.
 
No? It's called time stop, or dump him into a completely different universe then do it, that's what he did to the main cast, he BFR'd 35 characters across time and space, then when he decided, he absorbed their souls from across time-pace without even being in the same universe or time all while the cast couldnt do anything.

Also youre ignoring time stop, his main power.
 
I totally forgot to mention Fear and Paralysis Inducement. That should help Devil a lot here, that might even give him the win if Dio can't bypass that.
 
Idk how paralysis is gonna stop him from using thought-based Time Stop.

Fearhax may work tho, depending on how potent it is
 
It troubles is thought for a short moment, which is enough for the devil to say a word. This ability is usually useless because it only troubles the opponent for a small instant so it isn't long enough for the user to gain an advantage
 
It's not like he will die tho, Dio will just be intimidated for a moment. If the outcome wasn't that fast, Dio would've overcome it
 
But he doesn't have any wincon due to passives preventing him. Winning/Incaping via passive hax is stomp IIRC
 
Youre forgetting Dio has the full corpse as standard equipment. Which passively heals and negates haxed used upon Dio, fear manip should be no issue given that it can passively negate mind and empath hax.

Also his Stand, The World, which should be uneffected by the fear manip, and if Dio loses control, should be able to act on its own, given that Dio has to put in effort to actually reel it in, if Dio loses focus, that's bad for everyone around him, not just him.

Forcefield creation doesnt really matter when The World can phase.
 
The World is thought based, if Devil prevents him to think then shouldn't he not be able to use it?
 
Corpse Part passively and instantly heals even Dio's own mind and empath hax, fear manip shouldnt be any issue.

No, The World can be controlled with thoughts, but i's an extremely violent and dangerous Stand that has a mind of its own, some Stands dont have any mind, some Stands are 100% sentient and even talk and can converse with their users plus the users friends. The World falls in the middle, it can be controlled at a whim and will follow commands, but it can and wll take things into its own hands if it's anything like Star Platinum or Weather, both of which are extremely self sufficent (with both even preventing the user from commiting suicide, in the latters case, numerous attempts at it). Dio can use its powers though like time stop on his own but The World can do so too.

Not that it matters though, fear manip shouldnt do anything because of the corpse parts. Which are passive as well.
 
The corpse parts are optional equipment not rewarded to DIO in this battle. And even with that said, the corpse parts do not give resitstance to any of what the Word Devil's aura does.

Not to even mention, DIO doesn't use Time Stop in his Heaven Ascended form. In fact, while it might be an ability he still has he certainly doesn't use it. If he did, his fight with Jotaro and Jolyne near the end wouldn't have been possible in the slightghest. Even though he uses inside said fight for the game, his use of it is never in the way in which it could be said as some recommend from above. And the World Over Heaven is far from sentient, its never acted as such and neither has it been implied.

Looking at the rest of the fight, I'd have to say that WD takes this. If not a stomp due to aura (which would suck), then the WD just has so much more flexiblity with his own powers then DIO does. Not to mention that he can actually take out DIO's arms easier than DIO can take out his mouth. Not just that but the WD also has the possiblity to affect DIO without actually touching him unlike DIO who has to touch him in order to get his own powers to work. This means doing things like setting him into the path of a Danmaku attack with one of his Vaccum attacks, keep him away with some words of away, and swarm him with death surging magic from the other world. While Dio can eliminate quite a bit with his fist, he should still be capable of being overwhelemed.

I vote the Word Devil.
 
>The corpse parts are optional equipment not rewarded to DIO in this battle. And even with that said, the corpse parts do not give resitstance to any of what the Word Devil's aura does.

There is not one instance, in the entire game, that Dio is without a corpse part, he's always had at least the spine on him iirc or the full corpse. The corpse parts can instantly negate transmutation, mind hax, empath hax, corruption and even reality warping on a scale much higher then what the word devil can do, if fear manip or even paralysis inducement is all that it can do then it's a nonfactor and is dealt with passively by the corpse. Plus Dio has is his own aura that protects him from various abilities and must be broken physically (although it still dampens physical damage) to effect Dio as a whole.

>Not to even mention, DIO doesn't use Time Stop in his Heaven Ascended form. In fact, while it might be an ability he still has he certainly doesn't use it. If he did, his fight with Jotaro and Jolyne near the end wouldn't have been possible in the slightghest. Even though he uses inside said fight for the game, his use of it is never in the way in which it could be said as some recommend from above. And the World Over Heaven is far from sentient, its never acted as such and neither has it been implied.

Blatantly untrue, Heaven Dio is 100% guranteed to use time stop if put in close quarters, put off the stage, to get away or to get close, etc. He's programmed to do so in battle, it's scripted, he has to use it. And when using OR it's always comboed with a time stop so back up there and we know he uses OR to kill opponents that he wants dead or when serious, of which Jotaro wasnt one of them. And the fight with Jotaro and Jolyne? You mean the fight that happened because he purposely let Jotaro and Jolyne live instead of killing them and when the fight began he deliberatly went in trying to drag it on because he wanted to put Jotaro in his place? Against an opponent that he did use time stop on? And against Jolyne who, did actually nothing and couldnt touch him and was swatted out of the sky like a fly and killed in one hit while Dio was smiling to himself the momemnt Jolyne tried to hit him? All the while he just finished toying with the entire cast and killing them at that and he wanted Jotaro to see his new reality? And The Word is allegedly implied in part 6 to be ruthless and has to be reigned in by Dio, and if it's anything like SP, it's sentient, given that theyre the same type of stand, enforced in full swing by this game actually.

>Looking at the rest of the fight, I'd have to say that WD takes this. If not a stomp due to aura (which would suck), then the WD just has so much more flexiblity with his own powers then DIO does.

Not just that but the WD also has the possiblity to affect DIO without actually touching him unlike DIO who has to touch him in order to get his own powers to work.

The corpse parts negate the aura hax if his own aura doesnt as well, youre ignoring that Dio has a handful of powers that are quicker on the draw then the word devil, dont act like dio only has one or two powers, he has several, of which are thought based and the wd doesnt resist. Taking out Dio's arms doesnt actually help with the non OR, like BFR, soul *******, mind *******, corruption, time travel, etc. Dio doesnt have to take out his mouth, he can literally just think and BFR to the shadowrealm or time travel, or time stop or ya know, touch him once and erase him from all of existence.

>This means doing things like setting him into the path of a Danmaku attack with one of his Vaccum attacks, keep him away with some words of away, and swarm him with death surging magic from the other world. While Dio can eliminate quite a bit with his fist, he should still be capable of being overwhelemed.

And you think Dio would just allow that to happen? Actually, if anything you justdescribed were to be attempted Dio would time stop or teleport or BFR, he doesnt have to eliminate any of that, he can just not deal with any of it to begin with.Dio can and will stop time, he can, does and will, and if put in such a situation like this he will utilize his powers to the best of their ability, meaning he will time stop, given that's something he does whether you agree or not or if you want to ignore the game part of the game character, scripted parts no less, or he'd say screw it and BFR the wd as he tends to do. Youre acting like Dio is stupid, which is far from the case, hes only stupid when it comes to dealing with Jotaro and thats because he managed to outsmart and kill Jotaro in his universe so he thinks of him as nothing but a toy that he can use to further his goals (which admittely happened exacty like he planned, he just didnt count on Jotaro to have the same stand and asspull the same powers and heal himself from being punched throughlike kak or bruno).


All I got from this is that youre acting as if Dio doesnt utilize time stop, which is far from the case. And that Dio doesnt have other powers, all of which are faster then speaking, BFR, which is something Dio actually uses in character or multiversal+ soulhax sniping. Or timestop+OR or multiversal corruption sniping. Unless you think Dio is going to treat a giant spooky demon the same as Jotaro, then there really isnt much to be said here, Dio either BFR's then soulsnipes from a multiverse away or time stop's and OR's him, which is coupled with time stop given what we know of him (and his cinematic move as well), that's the only two options given what we know he does when actually trying to kill. The only way the wd takes this would be if Dio decides to toy around with wd and not take it seriously, which given what he's looking at, it's ludicrous to assume he'd decide to job. WD wins if Dio decides to cqc it, if Dio decides to do anything else then WD loses and given we know he comboes time stop with OR or that he tends to BFR then multiversal+ hax snipe when slightly serious (not even full blown or willing to kill like he is here), this should be a nonissue. Not to mention if Dio isnt instantly one shot, it'll lead to him having to BFR, teleport himself away or to time stop to either get rid of his opponent, get breathing room then heal then snipe or make a plan or to simply be done with it and erase his opponent without any interference.
 
Should mention this as well, he purposely let himself get beat up a few times and let the cast have victories and succeed so he could absorb their souls while at the moment they thought they succeeded so the souls were be even more powerful and at the peak of resolve and amplify him to a greater extent. We know what happens to those he doesnt mess around with (and even then he didnt deem them as a threat), it aint pretty.
 
Where exactly are you getting all these abilites for the Corpse part? Not only his profile missing them, but I didn't notice anything of the such when I was looking through the Eyes of Heaven campaign or Steel Ball Run. Also, what aura do you speak of, no where could I find it mentioned like you say.

Secondly, in all the fights with DIO, he's shown to be so overwhelming arrogant that he doesn't bother using his time stop in the way you say he would. And the thing is, this arrogance only wavered once it was too late for him. While the Word Magic Devil is a big offender of this, DIO is far more egregious and likely to play around until its too late. This would give him the same chance that the Joestars had in their battle.

Thirdly, what I'm saying is that we never see him use his Stop Time in anyway that would really be considered offensive. He only ever uses it to get out of shitty situations or when he's at x amount of health. Another thing is that DIO doesn't do anything like multiverse soul sniping or the such, he just set up all the joestars to get eaten up by those clouds(?) so as to then steal their souls once they were vunerable.

Fourthly, I do think that DIO would treat a giant spooky demon as he would Jotaro because of how similar their powers are. DIO is egotisctical to the point that he is normally the cause of his own downfall, which could just as well be the case in this instance. DIO is all about proving his superiority, and someone who stands in his face with arrogance and defiance would get the same treatment he does to nearly all characters.

Fifthly, in his cinematics, the most he does is BFR people to set them up for something or get them to his enemies.

DIO isn't very smart with how he uses his powers and never seems to take anyone seriously, his pride, as normal, would ultimately be his downfall in this case.

Where? From the profile and the game itself? It says straight up on his profile the corpse parts can negate even Dio's own corruption, which is mind+empath hax, the game says as much and in SBR it can negate transmutation, disease manipulation, and according to Gyro, mind manipulation, which from what ive seen on other threads, covers empath hax. The aura the the game outright tells you exists? Youre kinda selling yourself out here as one who hasnt actually played the game.

>Secondly, in all the fights with DIO, he's shown to be so overwhelming arrogant that he doesn't bother using his time stop in the way you say he would.

While the Word Magic Devil is a big offender of this, DIO is far more egregious and likely to play around until its too late. This would give him the same chance that the Joestars had in their battle.

Context, youre ignoring it. The fact the his main move is literally stopping time into cqc to OR the target before they can even react, which tells me you didnt pay that much attention to the game, you seemingly missed the part where I said, and Dio himself said, he purposely lost to the joestar crew so that their souls wold fill with resolve and hope, an the moment the souls hit that peak, he snuffed out nearly the entire cast in one go, ignoring context isnt going to do you any favours. And that arrogance only wavered when it was to late? Do I need to remind that Dio planned for everything to the way it did and his arrogance was partially a facade? If the wd is arrogant, as you say that's very bad, if he doesnt kill Dio in one shot, implying he gets the chance, it's over for him, if Dio didnt use time stop and his owers before, he definitely would then. No, he wouldnt have the chance the Joestars did because Dio has no reason nor is he actively trying to keep the wd alive unlike what he was doing with the joestars And dont foget, the moment he no longer needed the joestars for his plan, all bu one were snuffed out casually from acoss space-time.

>Thirdly, what I'm saying is that we never see him use his Stop Time in anyway that would really be considered offensive.

Ignoring his main cinematic move is literally time stop into overwrite. He also uses it to cover distances or get within range or to sneak attack. And that right there is the worst thing youve said thus far, Dio, quite literally, while not even in the same universe or time, BFR'd the entire joestar group, all while scattered across universes and time into his dimension, corrupted them and then soulhax'd the entire cast bar jotaro and jolyne, who he was preoccupied with and was talking with, all while in main world 1989 cairo. If you dont consider Dio ripping out souls and eating them while across the multiverse as soulsnipe then sorry, but that isnt an opinion, youre simply wrong on that front.

>Fourthly, I do think that DIO would treat a giant spooky demon as he would Jotaro because of how similar their powers are. DIO is egotisctical to the point that he is normally the cause of his own downfall, which could just as well be the case in this instance. DIO is all about proving his superiority, and someone who stands in his face with arrogance and defiance would get the same treatment he does to nearly all characters.

And that's where you show a drastic misnderstanding in Dio's character, Dio hates when someone has the same power as him, he absolutely hates that and the moment that happens he always switches gears. Dio wouldnt toy around with WD if he knew they had powers somewhat similiar, he would do just about everything in his power to instantly wipe him off the face of existence. The only time Dio ever toyed around and played with a character was in canon when he thought he knew everything about Star Platinum and deemed it safe to do so, the moment he suspected Jotaro could stop time, he did a 180, became extremely cautious and sauvy and instantly tried to kill him in one shot to minimalize any risk, and when that failed he went for the ranged approach. To say Dio would toy with the WD is blatant misinformation, Dio's consistently the exact opposite of what youre trying to say, even in EOH, he only toyed with Jotaro due to 1. Already having killed Jotaro thus knew that Jotaro shouldnt be any threat to him and seemingly confirmed as much through his watching and experience. 2. Purposely wanting him alive to further his goal. 3. Was completely unaware of SP and The World's status as the same stand, only realizing it after Jotaro heals himself, from the fatal donut hole that Dio put in him mind you. When Dio learned that SP and TW were the same Stand, he became a lot more cautios of him (and do recall, SPOH resists a handful of TWOH's powers, literally why Dio couldnt take Jotaro's corpse part). Basically youre ignoring a tremoundous amount of context, he was only arrogant with characters he seemingly knew everything about and wanted to live for awhile longer thus let himself fail to ultimately furrther his goals,Jotaro who he thought he knew everything about and did technically kill (aint his fault Jotaro is specifically a counter to him and healed being gored) and defiance? Dio also doesnt take kindly to those who defy him or stand against him, see Funny, who when he did so, instantly cut to him no longer existing, because Dio erased him from every single universe in existence in one fell swoop. And dont forget, this Dio, is the same personality wise as Part 3 Dio, when up against the unknown or a threat, he wont screw around and when going for the kill, he uses his powers to the fullest, he's so close to Part 3 Dio that he even pulled the blood in eye trick into a kick.

>Fifthly, in his cinematics, the most he does is BFR people to set them up for something or get them to his enemies.

Except he also uses teleportation, BFR, soul hax, existence erasure, time stop into overwrite, etc within cinemtics. And enemies? If you mean his army, he let that happen, he wanted the joestars to defeat his army, so their souls would become even stronger so when he eventually absorbed the souls, the power he gained would be even greater. Also BFR would work just fine n the wd, it's actually an easy win condition, wd if bfr'd cant do anything;

>DIO isn't very smart with how he uses his powers and never seems to take anyone seriously, his pride, as normal, would ultimately be his downfall in this case.

Dio is extremely smart in how he utilizes his powers, his only downfall was something he couldnt see coming, that being Jotaro asspulling overheaven powers (dont forget he killed his Jotaro in his world, he himself never found out SP is = The World), everything else was actually planned out to happen the way it did, he used his powers th exact way he needed to complete his goal, it's astounding how you actually think Dio was seriously trying to kill the cast throughout the game when he says himself he didnt want to so his goal would come to fruitition and the only character he didnt care about killing, is super dead. The only way his pride would be his downfall is if he decides to treat the hellspawn magic demon as a joke, which is out of character as Dio doesnt tend to screw around with things that he doesnt have intell on and is cautious as well.


All I got from your post is a dangerous misunderstanding of Dio's character and a key plot point and assuming Dio is actually stupid which you ouright said yourself.
 
That aura you speak of is purely a game mechanic that isn't present within cutscenes and the like. That's why it isn't listed upon his profile like the other abilites.

And you're right, I haven't played the game. All I have at the moment is gameplay and cutscenes from online. And within both gameplay and cutscenes a few things are to be noted.

DIO doesn't combine stop time with RO in any cutscene, and in gameplay only uses it to reposition himself still not combining RO with it.

While able to BFR opponents and the such, he never causes any form of harm directly through RO without first having struck an enemy.

Even when faced with someone with the same power as him, he didn't even try to use his longer timestop to get rid of him, in fact, toying around in game with said opponent to prove his superiority.

I'm not saying DIO is an idiot, I'm saying that he's more often then not blindined by his own God-Complex to the point that his own intellegience doesn't really do him favors.
 
Epsilon R said:
"The Corpse Parts grant him the following abilities: Holy Manipulation, Purification, Resistance to Transmutation and to Corruption"
Where are empathic and mind manip?
What do you think the corruption is? It's there from healing Dio's own own corruption (in fact corruption is just mind manip that doesnt need manual effort according to the wiki page for it), which is mind control and empath manip. Also literally why the corpse has purification, it can instantly heal Dio's soul and mind fuckery on contact. The only thing not on Dio's profile from what I can tell are like his perception manip and air manip. Also straight up mind resistance is accepted for the corpse parts.

>That aura you speak of is purely a game mechanic that isn't present within cutscenes and the like. That's why it isn't listed upon his profile like the other abilites.

Not how it works pal, it's a power he has and the game makes explicit mention of it. It doesnt have to be present within cutscenes because he never actually fights in cutscenes (even though it is in cutscenes, multiple in fact) and it being a game mechanic isnt why it isnt on his profile, dont try and bullshit, I just went through every single Heaven Dio revision thread on this site and didnt see that anywhere, I'd appreciate if you didnt blatantly lie

>And you're right, I haven't played the game. All I have at the moment is gameplay and cutscenes from online. And within both gameplay and cutscenes a few things are to be noted.

Then stop acting like you have, I'm not saying you cant look things up, in fact go ahead but it's damn tiring to be told shit only for said shit to have a dangerous misunderstanding of context.

>DIO doesn't combine stop time with RO in any cutscene, and in gameplay only uses it to reposition himself still not combining RO with it.

No offense but come on dude. And what? You do realize he's a game character, you cant ignore gameplay in a video game, which I find ironic, as youre actually guilty of using game mechanics yourself in your arguments. I dont think I have to say this again, but you realize that this Dio is the same Dio as part 3 but more dangerous, not in the powersense but in the he doesnt screw around against actual threats. Hell even after Jotaro got overheaven, Jotaro wasnt much of a threat as he wsnt used to using it yet, Dio casually shattered his legs and was gonna casually launch hs head off too (ignorng the time Dio punched a hole clean through him), Jotaro just happened to have Dio's only weakness in the form of his other self on him thanks to valentine.

>While able to BFR opponents and the such, he never causes any form of harm directly through RO without first having struck an enemy.

Except he can absorb souls from universes away? Literally the only offensive thing he uses OR for is existence erasure, every other one of his abilities doesnt need contact except corruption but that's a half half thing. And you do realize BFR is a win? Per SBA, if the wd cant come back within a week Dio wins according to SBA, not that it'd matter because within the week he'd be dealing Dio's mist, soulhax and being made blind, which I doubt the wd can deal with for a week straight before falling to one of said powers. And pretty sure after a week Dio would use his time stop even if you assume he wouldnt.

>Even when faced with someone with the same power as him, he didn't even try to use his longer timestop to get rid of him, in fact, toying around in game with said opponent to prove his superiority.

Untrue, prior to Jotaro gaining over heaven Dio wanted him alive in all previous fights, Dio was purposely going easy on Jotaro and when Jotaro asspulled overheaven out of nowhere as Dio never knew about the same type thing, it was to late, longer time stop means nothing when SPOH is, in universe, the exact same stand, go back and read Part 3, same thing except with added powers, Dio, in lore, would never use timestop to defeat Jotaro after Jotaro evolved, because SPOH would smash his skull in the moment he got within arms reach. If youre actually insinuating Dio would **** around and treat the literal hellspawn the same as Jotaro, who he thought he knew, had a p[ersonal vendetta against and deemed to not be a threat, youre wrong, in fact it's baffling that you actually think the situation is at all comparable, you're forgetting a bunch of critical elements that contradict your statements and claims.

>I'm not saying DIO is an idiot, I'm saying that he's more often then not blindined by his own God-Complex to the point that his own intellegience doesn't really do him favors.

Youre right, he does have a god-complex, that's definitely true, except youre confusing situations where he purposely lost and knew he could afford to screw around to ultimately further his goals as actual things against him but in situations where he's actually willing and wants to kill and against enemies that stand up to him, he doesnt **** around, if the wd is arrogant as you say then he's going to snuffed out like valentine, if the wd is dangerous then Dio wont take chances, if the wd has the same powers then Dio will utilize his own for maximum safety and the highest and quickest method to kill and if faced with the unknown or something he doesnt know, Dio minimizes risks and puts snuffing out a target first. The wd falls under all those for being a defiant, dangerous (even looks dangerous), reality warping enemy that Dio never seen before and has zero info or prep for while not knowing its full powers and thus if he can afford taking wd lightly.


All Dio has to do in this match is time stop+OR, or just bfr and take him out while he's in a different universe. One of which is gonna happen given the situation. The only way Dio would lose this would be if Dio decides to cqc the wd which I find extremely doubtful given just the wd's appearance and unknown nature to Dio alone. (and even then, as long as Dio or The World touch him even slightly, that's game over, as he can then EE at any time he wants if not immediatly as well as negate his powers which may be extremely likely to happen given that the starting range is litterally with The World's arm reach and the wd may or may not be able to see the world, given that not even souls can see it).
 
You know what, I have to admit you've shown definitive proof that DIO does combine RO with Timestop. I'll concede that point. With that concession comes another point however, DIO now uses Timestop like King Crimson. He doesn't attack enemies while time is stopped, which might work with the joestars but isn't as likely with the devil.

Another point I will concede upon is the aura, because as you said there is nothing that states why he doesn't have it when it looks like he should.

You also fail to mention is that that soul hax of his you keep harping up, was a strange mist he created from an earlier encounter. He didn't just wave his arms and take their souls. And while BFR could be a win for DIO, he doesn't throw away enemies he's directly fighting and wouldn't just leave the Word Devil alone even if he did.

And you keep saying he doesn't screw around with actual threats, but that is the entirety of his last battle with Jotaro. Him playing around with an actual threat to him. This DIO is actually the inverse of part 3 DIO because at least that one acted cautious about Jotaro also having time stop. This one just kept messing around, and he has little reason to actual fear Star Plationum's physical might in this case since when he is able to just heal all the wounds on himself near instantousely when both arms are working okay. And as far as DIO knows, the Word Devil is just a really weird stand that seeks to oppose him and evenif he was to realize that, he'd definetly be curious but caution isn't something he exercisies.

Onto the corpse parts, the other resistances you bring up aren't up there because corruption is something very distinct from just mental and empathtic manipulation. So while the corpse parts habe been shown to overide corruption they haven't been shown or stated to do the others separaetly.

The Word Devil, while arrogant does actually go for the kill when battling even when not directly opposed. An when someone is actually a threat to him like DIO is, he becomes far less willing to take risk.
 
Onto your last bit, DIO starts off every battle with CQC, in gameplay and out. And starting range is actually not within the Words arm reach, its hundreds meters apart due to the Word Devil's magic. This allows the Word Devil to get a good hard look at what goes on around DIO whenever his attacks are attempted, and while he can't see stands, he can definetly see effecitve range meaning that keep away is the game he'll play and getting touched isn't something he just allows.
