Dire

Dire is a Ripple user and a student of Ripple master Tonpetty. He first properly introduced himself after a short match against Jonathan.

[Spoiler] Before Dio and Jonathan had their last fight, Dire fought Dio to avenge Zeppeli. However, even Dire's best attack, the Thunder Split Attack, didn't stand a chance against Dio's Freezing Attack, which completely turned his body into ice and then shattered it. Dire, now only a head, was able to use his last ounce of Ripple energy to shoot a rose into Dio's eye. For that, Dire's head was turned into ice as well and destroyed. [/Spoiler]
