Apologies For The Wall Of Text - Tumblr Posts

While my knowledge of Steel Ball Run only goes so far, I feel as though Diego from an Alternate Universe isn’t quite the same as Original Diego. From my point of view, they both stem from the same general “source,” were born under the same name, and (perhaps) have the same base personality. Most likely some events in Diego from an Alternate Universe’s life are different from Original Diego’s. 

Personally, Diego from an Alternate Universe reminds me much more of Dio than Original Diego does, so I’ll go out on a limb and say that Diego from an Alternate Universe could have grown up like without his mother like Dio. Unfortunately I have no evidence of this.

Question time (part 7 spoilers)

Do you guys consider AU Diego to be the “same” person as the original? I personally see them as two completely different people - as far as we know, AU Diego might not even have the same background as the original Diego but mostly I like to distinguish them because AU Diego does and says some pretty messed up things (mainly the stunt with the fangirls and his gross threats to Lucy) and I honestly cannot imagine the original Diego going that far. Thoughts?
