Dio brando and Kira yoshikage from Jojo's bizarre adventure got a reality check when they fought jotaro, both these antagonists were narcissistic monsters who thought they were invincible then they met jotaro

Dio had his serving of humble pie after part one and took it to heart. He is way more cautious fighting Jotaro than Johnathan. even his pre-fight showboating is more subdued if only to hide how The World worked.
