Dio Brando: Giorno, my son, you should understand how King Crimson works by now! It's as simple as time being erased!
Dio Brando: Even mortals should comprehend such a basic concept!
Giorno Giovanna: Father, I've been studying Stand abilities for months. King Crimson doesn't erase time—it skips it while allowing Diavolo to see predictions.
Dio Brando: Nonsense! It works like The World, except instead of stopping time, it removes it! Picture a book with pages torn out—those moments simply cease to exist!
Dio Brando: Are you questioning I, DIO?
Giorno Giovanna: If time were truly erased, then cause and effect would be disrupted. But the effects still happen, only people don't remember the actions that caused them.
Dio Brando: Then explain it to me, son of DIO! If you're so brilliant, make it comprehensible!
Giorno Giovanna: Think of it this way: Epitaph shows Diavolo what will happen. King Crimson lets him skip those 10 seconds while everyone else acts on autopilot, unable to perceive what happens during that time.
Giorno Giovanna: Only Diavolo can change his fate during those seconds.
Dio Brando: So... it's like The World, but... not The World?
Dio Brando: (Perhaps I should've spent less time yelling "MUDA MUDA" and more time studying other Stands...)
