Diavolo is the main antagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, the fifth part of Hirohiko Araki's long-running series and the secret boss of the Passione mafia. His ability, King Crimson, lets him erase brief moments of time, a power that made his confrontations with Giorno Giovanna and Bruno Bucciarati especially tense. As Golden Wind clips spread across video and meme pages, Diavolo's dramatic presence became shorthand for a hidden villain pulling strings, keeping short audio of him popular in edits long after the anime aired.
