Kakyoin's flesh bud
My friend and I were talking about DIO’s brainwashing the other day, and how Polnareff was still Polnareff even when working under DIO, but Kakyoin, while still Kakyoinish, was much, MUCH more vicious and evil than we could ever imagine him being outside DIO’s control.
Kak’s personality definitely seemed much more affected than Pol’s, and it made me theorize a bit as to why that would be.
Polnareff is a man who has resolve - he knew exactly what he was after and when he was brainwashed, he was still the same honourable person with the same drive, determined, eyes on the prize.
Serving DIO was just a way for him to get to his goal, but his goal was still so important for him that he mostly remained the same guy. He knew himself and what he was all about.
Kakyoin tho? What did he have going for him? Who was he?
He was just a kid with nothing in life, and judging by his character song from the anthology album, he might have even been suicidal. Kakyoin was a lost soul.
Taking this into consideration, it would make a lot of sense that, when he got brainwashed, his own resolve and ideals would be overpowered by DIO’s will, making him into an extremely deluded and immoral person.
