DIO met Enrico Pucci in Egypt , while Pucci was still a teenager and before the events of Stone Ocean. The exact year is not always stated cleanly in the story, but fan timeline discussions place their first meeting around 1987.

Where it happened

  • Their first encounter is tied to Egypt , where DIO was active during the events leading into Part 3 and beyond.
  • Pucci later recalls that he met DIO during this period, which is why the meeting is usually associated with DIO’s Egyptian hideout era.

When it happened

  • Pucci was about 15 when they met, which puts the meeting around 1987 based on the commonly cited timeline.
  • Some summaries note the story does not spell out the meeting date in a single explicit line, so this is a timeline-based estimate rather than a perfectly exact on-page timestamp.

In context

  • The meeting matters because it becomes the foundation for Pucci’s later role in DIO’s plan in Stone Ocean.
  • In other words, this was not a random crossover scene; it was the start of a major alliance.
