That lucky fucking turkey <| sep |> Grnspan in German <| sep |> So in broad strokes , Part 1 takes many ideas from Bram Stoker ' s 1897 novel , . Vampires , England in the late 1800 s , a protagonist named Jonathan , vampire ladies who eat a baby , folks moving around a coffin that the vampire is hiding inside , a ship captain and crew becoming overwhelmed and eaten , vampires have fangs , a band of heroes going off on a journey to the vampire ' s castle . Even the stuff like the hamon roses dire spits into Dio ' s face are a reference to how the original Dracula was trapped in his coffin if someone laid a wild rose on top of it . With that in mind , we ' d probably start with the most popular novel about werewolves as the replacement . The Werewolf of Paris is similar to Dracula in that its an influential gothic horror novel , and at least one guy called it the ' Dracula ' of werewolf fiction . Setting France in the late 1800 s , rather than EnglandDio A werewolf , and some more emphasis would be placed on how this transformation was actively corrupting Dio to be eviller . Dario A priest who raped a girl , who gave birth to Dio . Jonathan French son of an aristocrat , probably mostly the same . Hamon Instead of tai chiinspired sunlight martial arts , it would probably be martial arts and moonlight . By breathing properly you can turn your breathing into waves that are the same as the crescent moonlight , which is also the same as silver . Ending Twist Instead of Jonathan dying and Dio sinking to the bottom of the ocean , Dio dies , but Jonathan becomes cursedinfectedtransformed just as Dio passes away . Noble heart means that Jonathan will imprison himself underground so that he never hurts anyone due to the transformation warping him towards devouring people and such . Gives a decent excuse for 100 years later a crazy Jonathan with a stand to appear .
