It's revealed in DIO's notebook that he intended to engrave 14 phrases on his Stand to remember them, although it's unknown if he actually does so before his death. Even before its actual appearance, its rumored power was enough to strike fear and instill loyalty in DIO's followers. It is named for the Tarot card The World W, the last card in the Major Arcana and symbolic of tectonic chance: the beginning of a new world order. In the OVA, The World is grey-skinned, has bronze heart motifs and ivory clothes. In the anime, it is grey-skinned, has green heart motifs and has golden clothes. In the colored manga, The World is completely yellow. Perhaps the tanks could be a reference to the Dio song, "Holy Diver", or the fact that DIO was trapped under the sea for 100 years. Plates on its shins, its footwear bears curved, sharply-pointed toes, similar to those of DIO's outfit in Part 3. Its chin, the base of its abdomen, its crotch and its knees are topped by heart shapes. The back of both its hands bears the shape of a simple clock face. It wears small, simple twin diving cylinders W on its back, connecting via short, twin-ridged cables to the rear of its mask perhaps secured by thick, ridged or puffed straps running from the rear of its waist over both its shoulders to its front. It wears a headpiece covering its face to the end of its nose, slanting at a steep angle from the base of its forehead to a peak situated above the rear of its head by about half its height, leaving the face of an inverted triangle visible to the front somewhat similar to the Red Crown of Lower Egypt W. It bears a striking resemblance to DIO in terms of appearance. A humanoid Stand, The World is tall and has a very muscular build.
