Yasuho: We’re playing Scrabble. It’s a nightmare.

Kyo: Scrabble? Scrabble’s great.

Yasuho: Not when you’re playing with Josuke, it’s not. He puts words like “ephemeral”, and I put “dog”.

So I was reading through a bunch of your meta posts and was wondering what your opinion is regarding Dio and Giorno's special dialogue in ASB

There’s a distance between them, given the way they speak, especially Dio. Though Dio has no idea who Giorno is, never meeting him, he feels some sort of connection with him despite it. It is known that the Joestar bloodline has a deep connection that spans over generations, and it’s very likely that the ‘closeness’ he feels is due to that, but it’s juxtaposed with him also being Jonathan’s son. 

Dio hacked his way into the bloodline when he stole Jonathan’s body, and while he feels connected to the others, being able to sense them, he is not one of them, it’s artificial. Giorno is both Brando and Joestar, a biological mix of two different families that have their fates entwined with each other. It is probably a strange sensation for Dio, seeing him, being near him with all this in play. 

It also speaks for Giorno in general; close but far. His family, who should have been the closest ones to him were abusive or absent. The gangster he helped as a child was far from him, but he felt a closeness enough to inspire him to follow in his footsteps. People, schoolmates and the community acted close to Giorno, but mostly it was out of fear of that gangster, so he could never truly be close with them either. Giorno’s always been something of an outlier, right from birth. 

As for Giorno’s line, this is probably something he’s dreamed about for years, meeting his real father face to face, the one he’s held a picture of in his wallet, the one he shared a birthmark with, the one who seemed like an ideal, who he maybe thought would save him from his sad childhood and in his imagination likely did over and over. He feels like this was meant to be.
