How does King Crimson work? Don't answer my question with what it does, I know it erases time. What I want to know is the mechanics behind that ability, can Diavolo affect objects and people during erased time? If so, then why does he wait until time returns to normal to attack people? Why does Diavolo bother getting out of the way during erased time when stuff just passes through him? The way King Crimson is used in the Golden Wind just makes it a glorified version of The World.

not as confusing as MIH's new world tbqh
Ryan Wright
But how did Narancia get on top of the gate?
Aiden Gray
The World would still be able to beat King Crimson imo, even if it is a glorified version as you say
Juan Butler
It doesn't fucking matter. Don't think about it so much, it's a dumb battle shounen manga. Just say haha men go oraora and keep reading

Okay OP, are you ready?
That's how King Crimson works. Got it?
David Gonzalez
It just werks.

You know, I like part 5, it truly is the 2nd best retard filter in JoJo after part 6.
Chase Jones
If Diavolo is already fated to kill someone, it just works.

Think of it as if you were playing a mmorpg, and everyone in the server suffered from lag except for you.

>King Crimson is literally easy to explain as shown in
>People are still legitimately confused about how it works
Only shounentards. No wonder Jojofags made a meme about this.

a worse version you mean.

It's actually all nonsensical. It deletes a few seconds forward in time while you can position yourself wherever you want but can't interact with anything. Except for when you can for some reason interact with things and literally kill Narancia and throw blood in Polnareff's face in the erased time. Also the memories of the erased time are deleted in everyone's heads (except for the user) even if they actually have agency in that time.
Oliver Carter
King Crimson is easy to explain. The problem is that it's inconsistent. It has rules but doesn't follow them.

>Diavolo sees himself dying after DIO "teleports"
>Erases time and moves around it
>DIO sees Diavolo skip around
In actuality, its pretty much a Mexican standoff. Whoever activates their stand first will win.
Sebastian Stewart
You say that like Diavolo could kill Dio.
It'd allow him to survive, but once Dio notices he can tell when time is erased he'd just stop time as soon as it happens and Diavolo is kinda fucked.
Dominic Peterson
It doesn't matter how it works. The main theme of part 5 is destiny. King Crimson's ability is to achieve your desired destiny by manipulating reality. As a poetic justice Gold Experience Requiem's hidden ability is to erase your destiny so you will never arrive at the point where you get what you want. That's all there is to it.
Elijah Nguyen
That doesn't sound like justice.
Elijah Carter
Diavolo just has to destroy DIO's brain. DIO himself said Polnareff nearly succeeded. But yes, its very much a situation where Diavolo has to win right away or DIO can just destroy him.
Poetic "justice" is more like irony. Diavolo reaches his everlasting climax but its an eternity of suffering and death.

>the fact of experiencing a fitting or deserved retribution for one's actions
I don't think it applies
Jeremiah Young
Did you ignore the bit about irony? Few will say Diavolo deserved it because its incredibly messed up but it is ironic and poetic justice.
Angel Sanders
>poetic justice
>the fact of experiencing a fitting or deserved retribution for one's actions
Nah, doesn't apply
Connor Moore
>If so, then why does he wait until time returns to normal to attack people?
He doesn't always do that, see Narancia
Jacob Lee
Then I would bet for the one that can predict the future
Aaron James
>Diavolo uses Epitaph
>Sees himself get killed
>DIO freezes time before Diavolo can activate King Crimson
Its definitely a stand off fight.
Easton Morris
The reason why KC is so confusing is because Araki is a hack and couldn't decide if he wanted Diavolo to be able to do shit in the erased time or not so he did both.
Chase Ramirez
No but muh fate means it can do anything.
Gabriel Torres
It makes perfect logical sense, Diavolo is removing himself from fate while everyone else becomes a sleeping slave of fate. The thing is, it basically lets the writer(i.e. Araki) have complete free reign of what it did. It's fate that Narancia gets killed so even if King Crimson removes Diavolo it still happens, whatever Epitaph says goes. I would say they still managed to write a pretty cool confrontation for him but it's a bullshit power if ever there was one.

>diavolo hitching a ride inside one of the crew's body

>"nah fuck that shit KINGU CURWIMSON!"
>the few seconds of combat never happened
>the crew never knew narancia died because KC erased the future where they reacted
William Fisher
The way I understood the hitting vs not hitting is if he doesn't hit them it's a lot harder for them to realize how KC works. If they are hit and suddenly appear somewhere else and are injured, that rules out a lot of abilities.
if he just disappears and they get hit, there's a lot more things it could be, and it would take longer for them to realize they can realize when his ability is used.
