About
Dio Walk, also known as Gamer Dio and Headset Dio, refers to several meme formats based on panels from manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. Stemming from JoJo Approach memes, the subformat spun into a separate direction following the addition of a manga panel featuring Dio with folded hands.
Origin
On January 20th, 1992, chapter 251 "DIO's World Part 5" of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Cursaders manga was published in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.[1] In one panel of the chapter, main antagonist Dio Brando is shown sitting in the back of the car with his hands folded, commanding a person in the front seat to drive through the crowded sidewalk (shown below, left). On February 24th, 1992, chapter 256 "DIO's World Part 10" of the manga was published, containing a scene of main protagonist Jotaro Kujo approaching Dio Brando (shown below, right).[2]
