Chapter 23. Superego, Id, Ego
---
DIO roared in fury.
He lost his temper, rushed up to Erina, and spped her to the ground, where she tio look at him with unyielding eyes.
As DIO screamed, Erina's iion was unmistakable:
DIO, you are er than the filthiest mud water, which even animals wouldn't drink and only step on.
No! Even this mud water is er than you!
There's o go to the river to it; this mud water will suffice!
"Damn it! I, DIO, am angered by a mere woman..."
Undoubtedly, Erina's act, which DIO deemed a pointless dispy of pride, provoked him, who also valued his pride highly at that moment.
Especially now, with Erina lying on the ground, her gaze and as unged.
His impulsiveness and rage intensified.
This ractically telling everyohat he, DIO, had lost in terms of pride to a mere woman!?
A woman who had been helplessly bullied by him!?
This was intolerable, absolutely intolerable!!
"Enough! Let's go!!"
DIO forcefully snapped a branch off a tree and led his gang away in a fit e.
When Erina decided to wash her mouth with mud water and DIO spped her, it was no longer a mere act of pride or a scheme to isote JOJO by driving away everything around him.
It gradually transformed into a battle of dignity between him and Erina.
"A trial of their irength, the Superego, Id, and Ego."
"Sister, you must have heard of Freud's theory of personality?"
Sora expio Shiro, "A person's personality is posed of the Superego, Id, and Ego, each with its characteristid funs. They influence each other and trol individual behavior differently over time."
"DIO is currently showing the Id, representing the life ah instincts."
"The desire for survival, the craving for money, and the willio use anything to achieve these needs are part of the life instinct. The primal urge to destroy something is the death instinct."
"Therefore, when fag Erina, symbolizing the Superego like an angel, DIO exhibits extreme aggression, wanting to destroy her. Only by overing those childish pasts oruly grow..."
The Superego represents morality.
Because of her inner morality, Erina used mud water to wash her mouth.
Simirly, DIO, awakeo morality by Erina, couldn't accept the fad hit her.
Not long before this se, DIO called his father a scum and spat on his grave.
Now, what difference was there between his as and his father's?
Had he bee the persoed most!?
"Given the events, whatever DIO chooses to do , it's useless. With no other options, DIO is left with failure as the only oute."
"As long as DIO admits his father was a scumbag..."
Sora mused.
As a gamer who studied psychology to better uand oppos and win games, especially in the area of human behavior, Sora was very familiar with the psychological battle between DIO and Erina.
-- Psychological warfare!
Even if Erina didn't do it iionally, her pride found a perfeswer.
After all, DIO could never aowledge Dario Brando, who caused his mother's death, as a good person.
Naturally, he couldn't terattack Erina's mud water washing.
"In simple terms, it's a disgraceful escape, pretending the frontatio exist if I 't see it."
Of course, not everyone is as hardcore as Sora, pulling out professional terms from a two- or three-miory like doing a reading prehension exercise.
For other viewers watg this se, the plexity was too much to uand.
Without DIO's expnation, they wouldn't have grasped Erina's true iion behind washing with mud water or imagi as a terattack against DIO.
But not uanding didn't stop them from seeing DIO's misfortune!
Indeed!
Thanks to DIO's superb performance, he had already gained a loyal following before reag Pucci's previous life levels of popurity...where everyone liked DIO and also wished he'd die quickly!
Moreover, DIO losing to Erina was just the prelude.
When JOJO learned of what happened from the bystanders who witnessed DIO's infamous se, this always kind and patient man, who had never gotten angry at DIO's excessive as, finally ighe golden fmes e within him!
"——DIO!!!"
