A4_8 Supercooling and Superspeeds - with Dio Brando

Abstract

In the anime series, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Dio possesses a number of powers. One of these
powers is the ability to freeze the blood and the hence body of an opponent. The other is the
ability to stop time for everyone besides himself for up to 9 seconds. In this paper, we look at
these two powers, and analyse the practicalities of using them. In order to freeze his opponent, we find he would need 6.07×107 J of energy to cast the ability. Additionally, if he were to effectively freeze time, he would have to move at a speed of very near light speed, making his relativistic mass approximately 96,300 kg.
