The Diary of DIO

The Diary of DIO is a lore document, as well as an in-universe item in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown. The diary belongs to DIO, and exists as a way for him to chronicle his journey to try and take over the world.
The diary became publicly available with the release of BeatdownBound, with the physical book in the game granting a password to a Google form that allowed players to read the diary. The diary will continuously be updated as the lore continues.

==Trivia==
*The Diary of DIO document is inspired by the light novel “JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Over Heaven” written by Nisio Isin, which was written as an in-universe discovery of DIO’s diary reconstructed by a Speedwagon Foundation employee. The novel worked to recontextualize events in Parts 1, 3 and 6 through DIO’s perspective, which is what the document aims to do as well.
