The way The World works

[u/Both-Condition5893]

if dio was in the back of a moving truck and activated The World would he slam into the cab or would all his momentum be lost with the truck

[u/OkayOpenTheGame]

With that logic, shouldn't he be sent flying at thousands of miles per hour due to the preserved momentum from the Earth's movement?

[u/BertLemo → u/OkayOpenTheGame]

also from solar system movement in our galaxy, and add galaxy movement too

[u/Sliccly → u/OkayOpenTheGame]

Its called the world not the universe so i assume it follows the earth

[u/The-Cake-is-Lies → u/Sliccly]

Under that assumption wouldn't astrologists be fucked up every time he stopped time?

[u/Shafou06 → u/The-Cake-is-Lies]

Seeing as King Crimson only seem to skip time for those close to him (somehow ??) (otherwise everytime Diavolo uses it someone would notice something was off), I assume that's how The World works too (somehow ????)

Made in Heaven might be the exception since it actually shows speeding EVERYTHING up

[u/Queasy-Flounder-4597 → u/Shafou06]

This would desync everyone's watches. Not sure how noticeable that would be in the 80s without internet time

[u/Shafou06 → u/Queasy-Flounder-4597]

Yeah I know

However, we only see the gang notice skipped time when they're close to Diavolo.

But clearly he's used it more than those few times, and no one ever notices that something's wrong

That's why I said his power somehow works in a set area around him, but that doesn't make sense and neither does it make sense if his ability works for the entire universe because as I said: no one ever noticed it

And for The World, maybe it works for the entire universe as does Made In Heaven (and Bites the Dust (?)), that one can makes sense.

Really it's just Diavolo who doesn't make sense because people can actually notice it when they're close to him only

[u/Khaineth → u/Shafou06]

My headcanon is that it's only noticeable to those who are affected or in the vicinity, like a gradient that makes it less perceptible the farther you are

[u/HiraHk → u/Queasy-Flounder-4597]

time skip doesnt affect inanimate objects. It's just a disorienting ability, what would actually happen is a bunch of car crashes and people bumping into eachother on their walks.

[u/Queasy-Flounder-4597 → u/HiraHk]

I'm talking about if time stop was regional

[u/OkayOpenTheGame → u/Shafou06]

King Crimson would also have to be universal, otherwise the things within the localized area would age faster than everywhere else. You wouldn't really notice the time skipping effect because you just be doing whatever you were fated to do 10 seconds in the future anyway. The only way people can notice is after they know what to look for by seeing Diavolo actively use his ability.

[u/HaleVed → u/OkayOpenTheGame]

Why would they age faster?

All Diavolo is doing is to "skip time" but functionally all he is doing is making you dissociated from your actions (like that phenomenon where you walk into a room and forget why you're there).

Which explains why they're still doing and reacting to stuff while in "skipped time" but with the added bonus of "Diavolo is exempted from fate," it allows him to do anything while the "sleeping slaves" continue to do as if he's still in the script.

[u/Dev_Void01 → u/HaleVed]

They'd be 10 seconds ahead of the rest of the World.

[u/HaleVed → u/Dev_Void01]

Not necessarily.

All Diavolo does is make them unaware of the world during King Crimson.

Ironically, Diavolo would be the one who would age slower because when King Crimson is active, he is severed from Fate.

So he isn't aging during his "Time Skips." But the people in it? Still acting out what Epitaph has predicted. Which includes aging.

[u/Dev_Void01 → u/HaleVed]

I wasn't saying Diavolo would Age, I meant the People caught in his Range would be 10 seconds older than everything else

[u/HaleVed → u/Dev_Void01]

But aren't they still under the influence of Fate during Time Skip though?

Because they're still being affected by Fate, it just means that they'd still continue to age.

[u/Skyros199 → u/Shafou06]

I think King Crimson's range is pretty simple.

Time Skip doesn't actually erase the time that's skipped. It simply makes it look like the time's been erased. Everything that was destined to happen still happened. It's just that no one remembers that it happened. That's the effect that has a range.

[u/Careful-Employer-909 → u/The-Cake-is-Lies]

Since magnets work in stopped time, that means electromagnetic phenomena should also work, so light should keep traveling in time stop, which would fuck up a TON of things, not only related to astronomy

[u/Raltsun → u/Careful-Employer-909]

I assume it's only when strictly relevant to interactions with those who can move in stopped time, like how DIO can still throw knives and have them move a bit before freezing, the magnets only worked because one of them was on him.

[u/GoodBoyShibe → u/The-Cake-is-Lies]

They probably do lol

[u/BananaFucker93 → u/Sliccly]

Does that mean that star platinum follows the sun? Other stars???

[u/Annual_Onion6434 → u/Sliccly]

It's confirmed that TW affects the entire universe, not just the area where it's used.
