Diavolo can use Epitaph to see up to ten seconds in the future.
Dio can only stop time for 5 seconds.
How does Dio win again?

5 seconds of timestop are not 5 seconds of time. They'd happen instantly in 0 time. Diavolo would only be able to predict how fucked he'd be after the timestop, with no understanding as to how he got fucked. Diavolo skips forward, but skipping would have no effect. As the time itself is frozen.

DIO>Diavolo

Either Diavolo can see the future while time is stopped, either he can't see. If Diavolo starts predicting the future and Dio stops time in front of him, either Diavolo will see 5 normal seconds and 5 seconds where time is stopped but Dio moves, either Diavolo will see 10 seconds of time flowing normally except Dio appears to teleport instantaneously. There is no in-between. That interaction will decide everything in an hypothetical battle.

Other than these two options, the only possible variety of scenario is that perhaps Diavolo cannot see when time is stopped but can "sense" that it is happened though his Stand because of its connection with time. If Dio is on the other side of the planet and stops time and Diavolo happens to use Epitaph at the same time, perhaps Diavolo would see nothing concrete happening but still sense that the flow of time was disrupted by someone else while he was fucking with time himself. But that doesn't help him much. If he's in a duel with Dio and he really can't directly see inside the 5 seconds of skipped time, he's as good as dead.

Dio throws knives from everywhere on time stop, times starts again and Diavolo can only see he got boned

For DIO to be alive in the Part 5 timeframe would require him to defeat Jotaro in Part 3.
If DIO successfully defeated the crusaders in Part 3, he would have absorbed the Joestar blood and mended his body incompatibility problems.
It's shown in the conclusion to Part 3 that with those problems mended, DIO can rapidly extent the amount of time he can stop, going from 5 seconds to 9 in the space of a few minutes of working on it.
By the time Part 5 takes place, years later, he can probably stop time for like 15 minute minimum.
Diavolo is fucked even if he can see the future in the stopped time.

yeah and thats why Jotaro would roll this kid

>muh Epitaph
MUDA MUDA MUDA

People aren't aware of erased time. DIO might well succeed in stopping time but he wouldn't even be aware that he stopped it, he would be on autopilot basically, so all Diavolo would have to do is start erasing time, move away from where DIO thinks he is, and let DIO timestop and pummel thin air for a while. Move behind DIO, wait for time erasure to end, and cave his skull in. ez win, time erasure (with foresight) hard counters timestop.

>blu-ray version of part 5 adds more scenes
neat. did they ever do that with previous parts?
