Are we supposed to care?
just explain
If KC had been activated when you were creating this thread, it wouldn't have existed.
DUMBASS
Except it would have, he just wouldn't remember creating it
no it wouldn't you colossal fucking retard
It's simple you dumb fuck. Epitaph can predict the future, but can't change it. When KC skips time, everything that occurs within that segment of skipped time still happens, but no one remembers. It's like when you get blackout drunk, things still happened in the timeframe you were drunk, but you don't remember anything within that timeframe. You only remember the beginning and the end, nothing in between.
I will admit, KC would have been better explained as a form of memory manipulation rather than a time skip. If KC had true time skip abilities he should effectively be able to "delete" a segment of time along with all its outcomes and effects. Either way, it's still not a very difficult ability to understand.
Araki's explanation is decent, but I'm gonna try my best to explain it myself. Diavolo has a main stand, King Crimson, and a substand, Epitaph. Epitaph has the ability to see 10 seconds in the future, a pretty simple ability. King Crimson has the ability to "erase" 10 seconds at most. Now, what does "erasing time" mean? Basically, Diavolo activates his ability and the world around him enters a very bizarre state in which everyone unconsciously acts as predicted by Epitaph while Diavolo is free to do whatever he wants and nothing able to harm him or interact with him in any way. When the ability is deactivated, no one except Diavolo will be able to remember the 10 seconds skipped.
How did he take Trish in the elevator?
How did he kill Narancia and put him around the metal bars?
Because it happened in his prediction I guess
I remember that shit actually happening.
The tanks ran that guy down.
Why didn't that ever happen though?
He can still interact with objects/people if it was in the prediction. He can't manipulate things otherwise, that's why he had to donut Bruno after he exited his ability, because it wasn't predicted.
>epitaph shows him a vision of the next 10 seconds
>Diavolo can skip to any point in that 10 second period
>during the time skip events still play out as if Diavolo were there but his ability makes it so that he doesn't physically exist during time skip
It's pretty simple
So what if i a normal human try to punch Giorno in the back or someshit. What happens? Will i get stuck in a loop?
What happens if i accidentally fire a bullet to towards him?
GER is sentient, and it (probably) knows what overkill is. Probably won't send you to a fate worse than death without knowing who you are, and it's still a powerful punchghost that could easily deflect a bullet or a human
Epitath can see the future
King crimson can activate to nullify 10 seconds of cause (cause/effect. He can eliminate the cause of the effect, but not the effect itself, except when pertaining to diavolo himself)
those under the influence of king crimson will continue to act out any events that would have occurred in that period of cause erasure, and they will be in whatever position they would have been in, as if they had carried out their actions outside of king crimson, yet nothing they did has any effect on Diavolo
Imagine King Crimson's time erasure like a dark tunnel. You walk through it until you are other the other side, but you can't see, so you don't really know how you got there, or what happened inside.
This is NOT how KC works user
What about the bullet thing though
There's more to it than just memory (although that is a part of it). Some reality bending has to take place in instances like you said where objects phase through him. The way I see it is that Epitaph sees the prediction, and KC removed any trace of Diavolo from the prediction. Effectively, during the "erased time", Diavolo does not exist. He can also pick and choose what bits of the prediction are erased or not, which is how he was able to fence Narancia despite it happening in erased time. During the 10 or so seconds, Diavolo basically controls reality itself, as far as it applies to his body.
Based retard
I still don't understand how he teleported Narancia between iron bars
I thought he killed them and then erased the time when he killed them?????
That makes no sense.
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW
Because he explained it like shit. KC has 1 ability that can be dissected into three steps:
1. KC can see ten seconds into the future. Anything he sees cannot be changed
2. KC causes everyone to lose consciousness except for him and his user for the ten seconds while he gets to do whatever he wants. He does not interact with the people around him as to not disrupt his prediction.
3. Within the ten seconds, he is able to erase any amount of time. This is how he phased through the bullets.
This.
Jump scares with random consequences for everyone but Diavolo
Lame
how did bruno punched himself tho?
Just read this stuff for the 1st and holy shit is this so OP. How do people even try to fight this?
With the guy that counters him
complete moron
he erases time in a given period so that it doesn't exist, everything that would've happened afterwards does however - someone fires bullets at Diavolo, Epitaph tells him when the bullets will hit, he erases that part of time, the bullets go past Diavolo and hit whatever is behind him
it's overpowered not necessarily because of the time skip but because whatever Epitaph predicts is 100% true, it's like reloading a save with slightly less context, so both KC and Epitaph are fucking ridiculous - Araki had to give Giorno an asspull to counter it
He gave bruno epitaph momentarily
The simplest way to make sense of the ability that during erased time Diavolo becomes a specter that can't interact with the world, thus "freeing himself from fate", while the rest of the universe is locked on a set path and will forget the 10 seconds passed.
The ability makes sense in a vacuum that way, the big inconsistency however is the instance of Diavolo actually interacting with Trish and the Fortuneteller in erased time. Therefore-in conclusion-thusly Araki is a hack.
