in the manga you can kinda see that the blood droplets are not on his eyes

so yeah it just might be the anime messing up a bit in not showing it the best
Imagine all the things you could do with Purple Haze
because it's part of his power is that he can't attack during the time skip
So, I think this had been talked about before, but then was dismembering the fortune teller's hand during the erased time an inconsistency, then?
No, he dealt the blow in normal time and skipped a bit before the dude noticed
this is a fair explanation and seems to make sense since his ability to repeatedly use his power is why he's explicitly called out as invincible. (and why he has to be doppio in order to actually have trouble in a fight.)
From the manga:
Damn
Rightfully so, cause he was bleeding out to death in unskipped time xD
It's because it's only 10 seconds, but imagine deleting time from history forever... The World can stop things but it can't remove the present from reality, like KC does. It's like someone could delete "Monday" from the calendar, and no one would notice unless they paid attention. No one would control their actions on said monday or be able to choose anything beyond whatever they'd do in "auto mode"... it's such a big brain concept it frightens me lol
i mean i think it's inevitable for different flavors of time manipulation to seem kind of similar, but the fact that he cant attack or be attacked while using it and can see the future (preventing himself from, for example, being stabbed through the head by pol like dio was) differentiates it enough for me. i feel like the polnareff encounter was intended to bring The World to mind, i bet the actual fight will end up being much different. the details and quirks this power has makes it more interesting at least for me
Unless Diavolo knew that Dio is a vampire there is no way that he's winning this.After heading the discussion on Jotaro vs Diavolo i think Dio vs Diavolo would be fun to see but not as something like a DEATH BATTLE. Maybe a DBX?
I feel like the "auto mode" explanation makes things more confusing and complicated.
Diavolo can phase through the dagger attacks, and flee the road roller while DIO is still screaming RO-
Yes, they don't remember anything that happened durin the skip, but their bodies move as they would.
Diavolo would try to get a sneak donut in, Dio would survive because lol immortal, and then stop time. Diavolo's dead.
He can use epitaph the second the daggers are visible, road roller had a 3 second window to flee, too
You need to go back and watch the fight. Dio stopped time and he was at 7 seconds when he dropped the roadroller on Jotaro, he stopped at 9 seconds shortly after that. All of this was during stopped time which the only reason Jotaro was able to react was because of Star Platinum pulling time stop out of its ass.
Tell me about it, part 3 is one of my least liked parts because of stuff like this.
If you didnt say that one would think you're a part 3 stan by that DIO talk lol
Probably the best explanation for it.
I don't think Dio is the best Jojo villain and I rank Jotaro as the worst Jojo, but I just can't ignore the fact that they are stupidly overpowered, no matter how much I want to. Defeating Dio was a matter of getting extremely lucky because Jotaro naturally pulled time stop out of his ass. Otherwise there really isn't much in a way to defeat him unless Araki had made Joseph less useless in part 3. Of course as the series went on, more stand users would definitely be able to stand a chance or outright kill him but that's another topic altogether and it would be full of spoilers.
Well, yes, that's the point I made - if Diavolo doesn't just straight up decapitate Dio or something, he immediately loses his element of surprise and ends up on the other side of the donutting.
I mean, that's 90% of diavolo's fights, if he misses first shot he'll just gtfo
