Pucci met DIO during the Stardust Crusader gang's journey to Egypt. When they first met each other, DIO healed Pucci's disfigured toes, gave him a stand arrow, and proceeded to go on a tangent about gravity. After that event, the two would spend a lot of time together, and traversed to each other's locations and discussed their goals and philosophies, and how to make them into a reality. Pucci have Made in Heaven (accelerate time) and DIO have The World (Stop time).
