What do you think of the relation between Father Pucci and DIO?

[EdithInfi0805]

I don't think they're gay... but what exactly is the emotion between them? A mutual appreciation between bad people?

Didn't Araki call them "best friends"?

As Pucci has said, he loves Dio as he loves God. For a Christian, my Love for God is more like my love for my parents, indebted, but you wish to repay the debt. You see the debt not as one, but a chance to show your God that you're not a freeloader.
Dio changed Pucci's life, showed him a path through a dark hour in his life.
Now Dio's side of things is bizarre, Pucci was not outright mean to him, but neither was Jonathan, Dio had also gone on to say that for his Made In Heaven plan he sought a person who was not swayed by the delusions of power or sex, one who would be loyal and followed in faith with God. For indeed his quest was to get into heaven no matter the cost. Though it is clear that through time, Dio formed an interest beyond simply using Pucci, and it was clear by the bed scene, which was rather odd he was either testing Pucci for his plan, or testing Pucci for himself.
In the end, all humans (even those who reject humanity) want a place, want a people to belong to. Want to talk, even if they're supposed stoics or introverts, they're still projecting an image they wish to be seen as. They still wish to be seen.
Is it then possible to believe that Dio had been moved by Jonathan's death? That after the madness of youth, his want for heaven was a fear of damnation for his own grotesque sins? Was it a stubbornness to not go where is father was bound, to completely surpass him? Whichever it was, his nature changed slightly, and being with Pucci calmed him, he was with one of faith, one who did not judge him for his sins, one who was helping him reach salvation. As much as he was saving himself, Pucci was saving him as well.
What do I say? Bizarrely Platonic.

I mean, I don't mind people dumbing down their relasion to "they were fuckin so hard, Pucci got pregnant and it's his children who show up in the later part of stone ocean"
cause really, I think it's hard for alot of people to wrap their head around the idea that they were both good friends but at the same time, DIO saw Pucci ultimately as a tool to reach heaven and as an apostle trought which he had to teach his vision of the world.
he def knew Pucci was special and had his own gravity who was intertwined with him, so I'd say ultimately, he views Pucci as the closest thing he has to an equal in the sense, that he doesn't view him as an obstacle nor an enemy.

as for Pucci, what the guy above me said pretty much. Pucci def saw DIO as either a part of god or somethin close to it. depending on how you even view Pucci's relationship to god, he might beleive that all along DIO was god in some way or at least, of divine origin. si he thought highly of him, although he probs knew that he was viewed as a tool by DIO, although, he def doesn't mind.
so yeah, probs easier to explain in a video/audio format cause in text it's complicated and long.

but yeah, tldr: it's easier to say they were lovers but without the romantic feelings and DIO was the top.
