Why King Crimson is More BROKEN Than You Thought | Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Epitaph is not doppio's stand because Doppio and Diavolo got separated and Diavolo was still able to use it :D

[@Kuro4]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. Love your vids btw :)

[@chrono9503]

No it is it’s just they are the same person so they can use each other’s stands but Doppio doesn’t know he’s 2 people so he has to ask permission from Diavalo, who does know he’s 2 people, to use King Crimson.

[@jacobgaskins8756]

@@chrono9503 The way it's written they are two different souls and not that same person. Uber DID

[@kokothekitsune]

It could still be that the Epitaph part of King Crimson comes from Doppio, but that Diavolo is able to use both parts (because he is the more protective and dominant personality). Thematically it would match with the rest of Doppio’s/Diavolo’s duality. In that case, Doppio’s contribution to the Stand would be interdependent on Diavolo’s contribution. Being able to see the future does you little good if you can’t change it, and being able to change the future does you little good if you can’t see how it changes. It captures how the two different parts function best as one.

[@alexviol1587]

The logic behind this could be that it's a stand that's short ranged and but is really powerful. So it's the same stand as Star Platinum and the world.

[@aiden-sy3ex]

I don’t think KC can be described as a “time” stand. It’s described that way but “skipping time” is kind of disingenuous given what he can do with it. A better description is that for a brief periods he removes himself from fate, disrupting the chain of causality. This is why in the fight against Risotto the bullets phased through him

[@mordraug6662]

I agree, exactly... I would say it depends from which PoV you view it. Time Skip is how those outside experience the ability. While Erasure is more the effect it has on erasing their memories and perception of/during the erased portion that Diavolo erases when he uses the ability, including erasing himself from a particular portion of projected fate. But he does not always have to erase himself from this and can instead use it only as a warning for what is coming as he does near the end when he is running away. However, I mostly call it a "fate manipulation" (and Time Erasure as one of its effects) Stand because it basically enables Diavolo to briefly override his fate by erasing himself from it physically. But after the ability, his hypothetical actions remain since they bring about the fate of the target that Epitaph shows (Narancia dying, Trish's hand). Furthermore, it seems that when Diavolo overrides his fate and does not do some action, it is basically as if he did not do that action, so a hypothetical reaction to this action will not happen either and will be erased together with his unrealised action, except for Diavolo's result that this action would bring onto the target of Epitaph. This would be a possible way to explain why Bruno or the gang do not seem to react in any way to Diavolo "doing something" (but actually not doing), instead being as if nothing happens after the ability ends - because since this was erased, their reaction during it was too together with it as this reaction is directly built upon this already erased action of Diavolo. Naturally, this would logically mean that in some ways, fate adjusts itself around Diavolo when he does this - if he was fated to die and then changes his fate so he doesn't, there should be some adjustment from fate in terms of Diavolo and his effects around. But Diavolo is still slave to fate in that he cannot control Epitaph's predictions and can misunderstand them and that outside of the ability he is still basically subject to fate. He actually even is a strong believer in fate and that it guides him, so it might be why he has such an ability in the first place, the ability to cheat fate for brief periods (or at least so it would seem to Diavolo, if it was still fate anyway for him to use the ability when he does, does not really change it, because they do not know this). And since Araki is a not a cynic and wants to give hope to readers, and he loves irony, he makes it so that fate eventually chooses the acts rightfulness and good that it either brings forth or likely that can in some ways shape fate as per Araki's message, which could be that because Diavolo is able to cheat fate for brief moments, Giorno's GER is this self-correcting force of fate against him that eventually catches up to him.

[@Diabrolo]

Its a fate stand which is connected to gravity, which is connected to time. That is also why Pucci was able to move in timestop with C-moon

[@Terminalsanity]

It is time erasure that's why no one but Diavolo remembers the erased time but that does allow Diavolo to "leap past fate" as Diavolo himself puts it.

If I am not wrong. Diavolo's prediction of him killing Giorno is correct, but GER prevented it by putting him in the infinite death.

One of my favorite thought experiments was a Jotaro vs Diavolo fight, at first I thought it'd be balanced with Jotaro's time stop and all, but then I realized that since stopped time takes place in literally no time, King Crimson can completely skip Jotaro's time stop with the full rest of it to spare.

[@Dr.AvenVon]

this is something people seem to forget everytime this fight is mentioned. everything jotaro/dio would do in stopped time will just be erased. they could stop time for an hour and nothing would change.

[@finr0y]

@@Dr.AvenVon EXACTLY, because a time stop is an infinitely short period of time...Diavolo could just use KC and easily skip it!

[@CameronE.128]

But how would he know when time stop is going to occur, or if he's being affected by time stop? As we can see with the Kakyoin v Dio scene, people have no idea when time stop happens other than when it's called out. In fact, Jotaro wasn't even able to detect time stop as an ability until he knew it was a possiblity, meaning under no circumstances should Diavolo ever be able to figure out that time has been stopped. Diavolo would just have to make guesses on when the ability was going to be used.

[@finr0y]

@@CameronE.128 The whole point of epitaph is to see the fated future and help know when to use kc to avoid it.

You mentioned not knowing why King Crimson spams epitaph. Well, it may be that Diavolo is afraid of seeing a future prediction that ends with his death since Doppio still took damage from fated actions. I do see a counter in that Diavolo kept using this ability against Giorno so it may not be in his character to be afraid to use epitaph.

[@josephrogers3666]

He can “erase” his fate

[@FriendlyDarkwraith]

The only thing that'd make King Crimson even more OP would be if it skipped time backward instead of forward. Great Stand, my personal favorite along with D4C. Although the way GER was implemented into the story was ass. By the way, you're objectively correct about Diavolo's own actions also being something Epitaph can forecast. When he uses his final prediction on GER, he sees King Crimson rip out Giorno's heart. Although it never happens because GER prevented it from taking place, had it been allowed to, it absolutely would have. On, and on the subject of erasing time vs. stopping time, Diavolo can still use Epitaph even while time is erased, so he can adjust his actions while being intangible before his enemy has the chance to stop time. Although this applies less to time stop in general, and more specifically to a DIO vs. Diavolo fight where he should have gone for the head. If Jotaro eats a donut, it's GG. And on a final note, what would happen if Diavolo activated King Crimson just as Bites the Dust was about to kill him? Would he still explode? Would he be affected by the reset, or would he somehow find himself an hour ahead of the rest of the world, or just booted out of time and space entirely? Does this scenario take place in one of his infinite deaths?

[@Kuro4]

Yeah I also thought GER was handled a bit strangely. The concept was introduced early enough that I don’t think it’s a complete asspull, but I would’ve liked a more interesting fight than Giorno just overriding King Crimson entirely. I tried pitting King Crimson against other stands in my head for the purposes of this video and honestly it gets so confusing lol. Guess there’s a reason why the main antagonists never fight each other. I think Diavolo could defeat Jotaro and Dio depending on how fast their reaction times are, and the Bites the Dust scenario is really interesting but ofc it wouldn’t happen in an actual fight. Still really cool how Stands can interact with each other in such unique ways.

[@saikithepsiioniic1358]

The time erasure vs Bites The Dust is pretty interesting. I think BTD would activate and the reset would happen, but Diavolo won't explode. Diavolo would go back in time and forget everything like everyone else, but once the time comes he would not explode because the explosion is fate from previous loop repeating itself, and Diavolo erased himself from fate thus changing his fate in the new timeline as well. Coincidentally, if Diavolo were to not use KC and instead exploded in the first timeline, he could still use KC in the second timeline to evade the explosion if he times it correctly. After all, BTD fates you to explode but KC can escape his own fate.

[@jacobgaskins8756]

@@Kuro4 In straight abilities alone erasure completely counters. Diavolo can erase fractions of seconds which the erasure of a infinitely small fraction of a second is all that would be needed to counter the stop, in turn saving hella stamina. Of course skipping a fraction might not confused the average user but in stopped time seconds pass relative to the user, so on first witnessing of the override Jotaro or Dio would probably be just as confused as anyone else would be. It would be hard for either to really dodge an attack especially Jotaro with just normal human stamina (which all him being exhausted all his stamina in the stopped time as a sleeping slave). Not to mention that although Diavolo can't attack in erasure, he can wind up an attack to where it hits as soon as the ability is deactivated (one of the few methods he uses to get around the intangibility you mentioned). Granted I'll admit through out the story that method isn't solid like the moment Bruno rises to the 1st floor. Maybe Diavolo underestimated his speed due to his injuries? idk. I serious think Diavolo is just kinda playing around in those moments and being a little stupid with the ego bit, like monolouging during Brunos initial confusion to the ability right before the donut as it wasn't in erasure and he was then susceptible to damage. I think a lot of the problems he faced with his goals were plagued by that type of stuff especially ego. Put a person with a lesser I guess "flexing or playing around with enemies" mentality the gang wouldn't have really stood a chance unless they were glued to one another as groups are another one of the short comings that other time abilities like time stop doesn't face.

epitaph's predictions were never wrong. Even in the fight with giorno and ger, his predictions were not wrong. It was fated for diavolo to rip out giorno's heart, but thanks to return to zero, the original fated path of reality (diavolo getting his ass kicked) was the one that took place. When king crimson skips time, he essencially changes fate. Sure, anything that happens to others happens when time is skipping, but not for diavolo. anything fated to happen to diavolo does NOT happen. so when diavolo skipped time, it was fated that diavolo was gonna rip out giornos heart. since rtz NEGATED timeskip, the fated path of giorno's heart getting ripped out never came to pass. In other words, it WOULD have happened had giorno not use rtz. his prediction was correct, but it never came to pass. just imagine that you predict that ten seconds from now, you will take 1 step forward. This prediction, under NO surcomstances is incorrect. this WILL happen 10 seconds from now. Now imagine someone has the ability to make it so that you take one step forward infinity seconds from now. Yeah it will happen, just infinite seconds from now.

[@smurfsmurf4502]

just like literally this? a stand with stupid powers could just smash narancia through the spikes, king crimson has been shown to be almost as fast as silver chariot so its pretty fast, buccarati is also stuck talking at the door when time is skipped, the lady had her eyes CLOSED right after the hotel time skip so he obviously just swiped the papers off during that. Idk they just dont do a great job showing that he's faster than most of the stands in Part 5 except silver chariot

[@insert_edgyname8848]

The problem with this is that it determines that bruno/sticky fingers is just way way slower than diavolo/king crimson, but he's not. bucciarati banked on his speed and intellect to do any damage against diavolo and escape Maybe it was like josukes mom, but that would imply seasoned veteran bucciarati is as slow to react as a civilian single mom

I think this is best explained when we see him see king crimson kill giorno with ger (while not knowing its abilities.) the only thing he did know was that ger was massively stronger than king crimson physically, yet epitaph's predictions always happen since they are fated, so this shows such ability and that diavolo is fully aware that he can take advantage of it, and he was going to (until of course, G.E.R)

[@treysonnier1961]

I think the best way to explain the elevator scene is similar to how, with Bites the Dust, even after the day was reset, Rohan was still blown up because it had already happened. Epitaph is similar, in that it doesn't matter how, it's still going to happen, regardless of whether or not there would be actual cause - the result, as you said, still remains.

Maybe he self reflects on what he did in the elevator to assure himself he will win. It seems in-character and also explains away the confusion

King Crimson explained in 4 sentences: Epitath can see 10 sec into the future and all it sees is gonna happen no matter what, just like Tohth. King Crimson makes everyone a sleeping slave of that fate but frees Diavolo from his fate. This is why if someone is shown to die in a prediction they still die even if Diavolo doesn't kill them, since only Diavolo's fate was changed only he can stray from the predictions, others still have to follow. And because King Crimson only lets Diavolo change his own fate but not others, Diavolo can't interact with anything else during this time, as other things still have to follow their own fate and Diavolo interacting would change their fate.

[@demekagamine]

I have the same opinion about KC vs time stop. Especially how in comparison to another human like Jotaro, Diavolo seems to not have his stamina drained by using his ability, it is double the duration of a humans time stop, and with epitaph he has a good idea of when to use time erasure. However if he fights DIO I just see Diavolo loosing due to DIO being a vampire, but in terms of just the ability itself I view time erasure as superior.

[@pullupparker6110]

Diavolo can erease and see 10 seconds, even the 9 seconds of time stop of Dio are not sufficient, and in Parte Six we saw that stand that can manipulate time can interact or move in the time stop, so Diavolo can defeat Dio, Jotaro, Pucci (erasing their stand abilities) or D4C attacking him before the dimension Wall or predicting the attack of D4C, even Tusk4 lose with Diavolo because King Crimson can erase the Moment when diavolo got hitted Just like did with Narancia stand or Sex Pistols, the only stands can defead King Crimson actually are : Wonders of U (that's will be like Final Destination 😂) , GER and Soft and Wet Go Beyond

[@singularity1130]

It's possible to beat King Crimson without Fate related powers; the trick is positional coverage and good teamwork. Example would be: Buch Close Quarters, Giorno & Trish Mid-guard, Mister rearguard, and Narrancha calvary, Abbachio remote position commander. Buch would engage Diavolo force him to retialiate or attempt fleeing, in the case of fleeing Mister can force King Crimson's power out however Abbavchio's role would allow him to monitor any temporal shifts, find his new location, and spot for Narrancha to finish him off while KC is on cooldown. In the case of fighting back Buch will maintain engagement going for the kill, Giorno and Trish rotate monitoring each other and Mister to prevent KC from repositioning via timeskip, should it occur then the mid-guard will prevent the lethal blow and permit counter attack for the kill by the defended member. If this doesn't result in an outright kill at least wounds will stack up from enough of these encounters that KC will lose. The trickiest part throughout such a battle is: 1) Getting Diavalo onto an open yet isolated field for such visibility and positioning 2) Maintaining the Focus necessary for reacting to sudden repositions KC still wins if he manages to acquire interference from outsiders or party members lose focus and he breaks the formation through a single kill; opening up a party wipe or line of retreat for KC. Including more members risks the lacking coordination between party members leading to the previously mentioned issue so it's necessary a small elite unit to dispatch him. Regardless, the battle will be epic!

[@jonathansuber1551]

I feel like people when they discuss time stop and King crimson they forget how other people see it. If somebody use time stop and King crimson used epitaph to see them use it and then erased that time it would look like the person who used to time stop changed their position in the blink of an eye probably punching a hole through diavolo. So when time is skipped it skips the entirety of the time stop and any additional time since time stop doesn't take up time.

[@cosmicdude8282]

EXACTLY, time stop doesn't take up time, just stop it. Jotaro fans are so bias that they can't understand this and say "Yeah if Jotaro activates time stop while time being erased, Diavolo's ability will end but Jotaro's time stop will remain and he can easily kill Diavolo", but as you said, time stop doesn't take up any time, it just pauses. It's like watching a 5 min KZbin video, if you paused it for 1 hour, the video didn't became 1 hour long, it will remain as 5 minutes

[@dripg0djv280]

The problem is this: Time skip is not actually a time manipulation ability, rather that it erases people’s Perception of time, which is why it’s called time erasure. The most op aspect of it is that Diavolo becomes intangible. If jotaro stopped time first, diavolo would be screwed, but it he activated it first , we don’t know if jotaros memory of his timestop would be erased, as timestop occurs outside of the continuity of the flow of time. If his perception were erased, then diavolo would be able to survive and attack first, but SP is also the fastest and most powerful stand so odds are jotaro would react and either reduce the damage or just straight up counter and ora ora.

[@jonathansuber1551]

@@dripg0djv280 you know I never really thought about time erasure like that. Since diavolo can look at the future with epitaph and goes through the erased time. I think he would see a giant blob of movement that doesn't look good and he would be like let me erase that. I'm also not familiar with what the cooldown on each respective ability is. Because if time eraser has a cool down greater than the cooldown of time stop then the first slip-up he makes would mean his death.

[@sadistic_sid5479]

I agree to absolutely everything explained in this video apart from the point that stated Epitaph was solely Doppio's stand. Its finally relieving to see someone who actually pays attention to the details and not apply "powerscaling logic" to it. I also do agree with the part that KC could skip thru time-stop; for ex, if the next 10 seconds were to be skipped over and it happened that there was a time-stop initiated in-between those seconds, its definitive that everything which happened within time-stop would be skipped over too. But this can't be said for the opposite situation, since its impossible for Diavolo to activate KC within stopped time. Making the fight entirely dependent on who activates their ability first. But I don't think Epitaph could predict a time-stop since in its P.O.V., DIO or Jotaro and the things they are interacting with would seem as if they're teleporting randomly.

[@susboi7013]

Kingcrimson can't be defeated unless the standuser fighting him can exploit his weakness, or simply their ability can counter time erasure. There actually another way to know when time skipped, which excludes the bloodtrick or wrist watch. Time erasure is an ability whose use is for diavolo to leapt past fate, it is essentially a defensive ability. What does this mean? It means you can technically counter time erasure, by baiting diavolo in to skipping time. How? Simply attack him. If a stand has offensive capabilities enough to harm diavolo, by intentionally attacking him, you are basically forcing diavolo to erase time, like he always would do when being attacked. And because you know time will skip the moment you try to attack him, you can react to the result of the skip much faster. This strategy actually works. Bruno once intentionally tricked diavolo to erase time, by doing a zipper punch on him. Diavolo erased time, then tried to attack bruno, but bruno escaped with his zippers. He managed to escape, becquse he EXPECTED the skip. This trick can be used to evade and counter attack diavolo when he tries to fist you right after a skip. This strategy works effectively and is quite easy to think of once you learn KC's abilities . The only reason i think this trick was never used again is because Araki didn't want to reduce the hype of this new villain he introduced, and want to add more drama to the story. This shows that king crimson's greatest weaknesses is that his ability is very predictable, and that diavolo can't attack in erased time. However, because king crimson is very physically powerful, both in strength and speed. It still takes stands that could physically match up to kingcrimson or stands who have more busted abilities to defeat him. Which makes him one of the most impressive stands of JoJo's bizarre adventures.

[@josephjewstar3145]

It kinda reminds me of a Golden Wind fan ending. When Giorno shoots the scorpion rock at Diavolo, Dio is somehow summoned through the life energy and he donuts Diavolo and says "You know, when all you do is follow fate, you become quite predictable."

[@RedVelvetUnderground333]

even poly figured this out, when he cut diavs arm. striking where he will be after the skip.

[@marcusjackson9644]

This becomes hard to do if he erases less than a second. Because then when you are trying to predict him & hey you might actually be right with that predict. But a less than a second gap is to short to react to right after having amnesia from his ability. And being tunneled vision on one thought w/ Diavolo as an opponent is bad. Yes Bruno(& Polnereff w/ being idle)were successful in countering but that took some getting used to; And getting used to Diavolo means getting killed or crippled mid fight ie. Bruno's stomach & torso, Polnereff's Legs & Eye, & Giorno's Skull & Right Arm. Polnereff got lucky all those years ago, Bruno had G.E's energy and Giorno only lived & healed due to G.E.R being born; everyone else kinda just died. Finding a weakness doesn't mean it would be easy to exploit it even if that weakness was well know, I mean Superman's most well known weakness is Kryptonite right?; And sometimes he just doesn't care lmao, Diavolo might be the same people knowing his weakness & him still not caring because if he has experience w/ those who tried that shit before or if he just flat out sees himself winning why would he care lol. But yeah that lack of care is why he lost against Giorno in the end but it wasnt really his fault; G.E.R was literally born to be a counter to King Crimson and ended up being the Debated Strongest of them all.

I once had a understanding of king crimson; until diavolo skipped over the time I was gonna write it down

[@wyvern5842]

I'm pretty sure king crimson is almost as fast as the world in terms of punching. the world has a speed stat of A and so does king crimson making them a similar speed. i do think that king crimson is slower but not as much as you said. in my personal opinion i think king crimson is the 3rd most powerful stand in the entire show as he could destroy every single stand an stand user except giorno with ger and DIO with twoh (twoh is debatable he might be able to defeat twoh if he hits dios head perfectly the millisecond after time erase). i mean think about it, lets say any stand user decides to attack him. he uses epitaph to see 10 seconds into the future. he sees him self on the verge of death. uses time erase. walks up behind them and throws his attack just before time erase ends so the very first possible second he can attack he does. he then wins. this works on any stand even stands like cheap trick. say cheap trick attached itself to diavolo. diavolo uses epitaph. sees that cheap trick will kill him in ten seconds when someone looks at his back. does time erase. im pretty sure if diavolo didn't do time erase he would attack cheap trick which means cheap trick is fated to be attacked but when this happens diavolo has used time erase making him invulnerable and take no damage so that when time erase ends hes fine and cheap trick is dead. its truly invincible he could defeat anyone, even jotaro and dio ( not heaven ascended dio) wouldn't stand a chance. diavolo uses epitaph, sees himself beat up so he uses time erase. jotaro/dio then does time stop and attacks where they were fated to attack. time stop ends and diavolos time erase is still going since time was stopped and paused his ability( I don't think this would stop his ability from working as no other method in the show did stop it from working but it may making timestop the only way to beat diavolo other than ger). he goes behind them and impales them (this obviously wouldn't kill dio but I'm assuming in diavolos next attack he will learn and go for the head).

Time skip is spammable, not only you become untouchable, gravity doesn't affect you, you also can see the future any time you want, your stand is faster than silver chariot which means he is faster than star platinum too, same raw strength as star platinum, not the same durability, you know why? Cuz he wont get freaking hit, bro could bully people and just punch and skip time, repeat, even if someone notices the time skip he could still time skip again and make them more confused, and he could just spam it and wait for the exact moment to attack, if he fails and the opponent retaliates he can literally time skip again and the opponent will be vulnerable, also counters timestop since diavolo ceases to exist, and everyone during timeskip is nothing but an hologram created by epitaph, such as why you cant see the ground and gravity ceases to work and no one can be touched, therefore even if someone tried to timestop, not only they would timestop but diavolo wouldn't really be there, he wouldn't exist in that time, two things could happen, either the guy time stops and king crimson time erases before they time stop (because he can see when they will timestop) and the enemy wont even see his timestop during it since it would be skipped Situation example: "ZA WARUDO" *nothing happens* "Wtf id swear i time stopped" Or timestop might actually stop the effect of skipping time, but diavolo would still be out of the equation, like if he wasn't there in the first place.

I think one important thing to point out is that Epithats predictions were never wrong. Even in the fight against Giorno, Epithats prediction of Diavolo destroying Giorno wasn't wrong, it was indeed what was faded to happen. GER simply overwrote the fate with his own "returning to 0" ability. This is why he says "you will never reach the truth". What Diavolo saw was indeed the truth, but GERs ability prevents him from ever reaching it. As for King Crimson, well, I mean the whole concept of the stand arrow piercing someone for a 2nd time and granting them a Requiem stand was introduced solely in order to get an ability capable of defeating him. And the only two Stands who had any form of chance against him were an incomplete Requiem stand with an interdimentional soul swapping ability and the most broken Stand ever created.

KC and Epitaph are both Diavolo's. Epitaph is part of KC as a sub-Stand on default and was never Doppio's. This is fully supported when Doppio dies fully and is separated from Diavolo for good. Diavolo still has Epitaph and KC, nothing changing for him.

[@flanbro3530]

In the elevator scene, the reason why he is able to assassinate Trish like he does is because it is fated to happen that he will attack her and drag her away. Him skipping time does not change Trish’s fate, so she is still attacked and moved.

I think it is "Fate" that confuses me a bit when it comes to King Crimson - with the cleaning lady, Bruno and Narancia it seems that Diavolo has the power to skip to the end of his own fated path, while everyone else remains static - I mean should they not also move along their fated path? The lady would react to a man jumping out the window, Bruno would be following Trish and the gang would try to help Narancia. Even if they do not remember how they got where they are, they should have at least moved from their original spot. Time is obviously fickle in Jojo, Dio had long speeches inside his timestop, so I can buy that a close range stand like King Crimson moves really fast, but it is still stretching things a bit, especially when he is surrounded by other stand users. There is also the fact that he can "reposition himself" - if he skips time, should he not just fast forward to where he will be in ten seconds? Sounds a bit more like the Worlds time stop ability. Then again I suppose that he only "locks" himself into place if he uses epitaph, and that Fate does not affect 100% of every action?

[@TheMan-ct8gh]

I despise when people say that it is confusing, and what gets under my skin even more is when people say it erases their perception of time. It is so simple, I can look 10 seconds into the future, i no like after math. I erase time which makes me in able to be hurt or attack during this time, but others are bound to their fate. I set up counter attack and i strike. It is so simple

[@sillyguy29uh11]

I just belive that Diavolo broke the elevator celing, I immediately use the time skip so they won't notice the sound or the block, entering that same space, and since neither Bucciarati or Thrish were able to notice it, it might have been enough time for King Crimson to cut off Thrish's hand and use his ability once more at almost the same instant where he cut off his hand, and just grabbed his body and walked out of the elevator. (Yes I think King Crimson is able to interact with things in the time skip, but not damage them)

[@Zooiest]

If we think of time and fate as dimensions, one interpretation is that King Crimson can create a discontinuity in time while keeping fate intact, whereas The World-type stands can only stop themselves (and their users) moving in time. Then, we can reason that because time-stop stands just stop themselves in time, erasing that period completely nullifies the ability. Does that make sense?

[@SerpentCommando]

[@daviddicusara6523]

Beautifully explained

[@logandabrute]

7:41 "If Diavolo himself is fated to perform an action or set of actions during time skip, then, without him actually needing to perform those actions himself, the results of those actions will remain once time skip has concluded." You go on to explain that the way this basically works is that Diavolo waits until he sees an event in Epitaph, and then just erases time to make it happen quickly and easily. You also bring up the problem that Bucciarati would have some kind of evidence of a fight left over from that, but never solve it. The only other explanation for this scene and others like it is that he simply can interact with things during timeskip, but just doesn't. Neither explanation works very well here. Both options are just plot contrivance. Either Diavolo randomly gets to do whatever he wants in universe, which is really just Araki deciding he gets to, or Diavolo inexplicably only uses his ability occasionally.

[@MCDEMON-OG]

Well i totally agree with you, it pains me when people underestimates king crimson but this comment section is full of people who understands king crimson thanks to you And one more thing, king crimson removes diavolo from fate but not others like if someone was supposed to be killed than he will be killed regardless of diavolo erasing time or not because his ability frees diavolo from his fate Like diavolo is fighting his opponent and he sees in epitaph that both of them will die than diavolo will erase time the fact that diavolo dies has disappeared because diavolo is invincible during it but the fact that his opponent dies will remain it also explain how he took trish or how he defeated narancia and it makes diavolo even more broken cause all the action diavolo would have done would still be done even if he does nothing, what a freaking terrifying stand

[@saikithepsiioniic1358]

I completely agree with you, but the point of fated things happening because of gravity can also have another explanation. That is, instead of the fated events automatically happening because of gravity, it might be the case that Diavolo would simply be able to interact with things as long as he is fated to and chooses so. Basically, his intangibility is optional and he chooses to disable it once he sees a favorable fate. Tbh I've always favored this argument over the 'things happening on their own', but after hearing your argument of gravity doing that, this seems way more plausible. I think both options are pretty valid and it's impossible to know which one it is.

[@whensomethingcriesagain]

One thing I don't really follow with on this one is that if actions Diavolo is fated to take happen with or without his ability, surely actions fated to happen to him would as well? For example him dodging Aerosmith's bullets, surely if Epitaph saw him getting hit then bullet holes would appear through him even with erased time under this logic? Surely his actions would be just as subject to/immune to fate as his outcomes are?

i'd say both star platinum and the world win against king crimson once they're within range as i don't think he can erase stopped time, even if they can't get a surprise attack because diavolo is paranoid enough to check epitaph every 10 seconds as we know kc just positions itself behind the targets to then attack so he'd put himself in range to where sp's superior reaction speed and overall speed would allow him to stop time before anything can happen and take out kc at once. also an interesting thing suggested by the video "what happened if fugo used purple haze" or something like that is that if diavolo somehow gets infected by the purple haze virus he's toast within seconds, and all that time he'd want to skip is less time he has before dying. also wdym "it's just narancia so whatever"? narancia was best boy he deserved better

Diavolo said he shared part of his power with Doppio. That's why Doppio can use Epitaph and King Crimson's arms. But make no mistake, King Crimson is Diavolo's Stand, as he is the only one who can fully utilize him. Doppio cannot use time skip. Diavolo can. Doppio cannot manifest all of King Crimson (perhaps due to Diavolo reducing the chances of other stand users to see his stand). Diavolo can. Also, I thought it was pretty clear Diavolo can in fact interact with and/or "harm" his enemies while time is "stopped" (or at least seems to be stopped), since he almost donuted Giorno while time was "stopped", and same thing to Trish and the fortune teller. Dude was only reading Doppio's hand, and the next second he was holding his own severed hand and Diavolo revealed himself to finish him off.

[@tischregal9678]

I believe that this aspect of his ability also depends on chance, so in a szenario where KC fights vs Dio with TW, because of Dios super natural reflexes and The Worlds great strengh, I would say that eptitaph is gonna be less less likely to show a vision in which diavolo kills Dio because it's simply not as probable than when he killed narancia or took trishes hand, which were actions that he could have realistically accomplished. In general I think fate most of the time acts after Probability so for instance 1 in a 1000000 times Idk polnareff wins a 1v1 agsinst Dio because fate was just unreasonable lucky that day. So yeah, this aspect helps diavolo vs weak stands compared to his but against stands which could dodge his normal attacks most of the time with their ability, he probably wont get a nice insta kill vision

[@syrexlee2021]

In my opinion King Crimson is the second strongest stand after GER. WoU, D4C have a lot of weaknesses on which their enemies can capitalise. But King Crimson just doesn’t have any major weaknesses. In all situations where Tooru and Valentine were caught off guard Diavolo would benefit or at least stay unharmed. Furthermore, Diavolo is an only character aside from Giorno who can escape such attack like: Kira’s bombs, Bite The Dust, Golden rotation, Calamities become useless against Diavolo. It’s far too broken. Plus he can escape from Notorious BIG, Green Day mold, Speed King ability by using time erasure. Plus King Crimson counters Pucci’s MiH.

Kakyoin only flew so far backwards because time was stopped. If time was flowing, The World's fist would've pierced right through him like King Crimson did to Abbachio. I mean think about it, if you stab a piece of paper with a pencil, the paper isn't sent flying backwards, however if time was stopped, that force would empart entirely onto the paper, sending it flying backwards. Also bullets go right through people instead of sending them flying back 100ft. Kakyoin was sent flying backwards because the force of the donut hit him all at once, but if time was resumed, some of the force would be absorbed, and The World's fist would stab through him and he wouldn't be sent flying backwards.
