It being the ultimate defensive Stand is basically true because GE was technically like that in the beginning, what with rebounding the physical attacks on the life it creates. I think Araki less forgot about that and more focused on the other poo poo it could do (and using that to win every fight just wouldn't be very exciting, yeah). It's the Ultimate Muda.

But from what I understand

1) It resets everything back to "zero"
2) This not only includes one's death (they still happen, there's just never a finality to it and so the Infinite Death Hell Loop happens) but one's will. This is probably why King Crimson stopped working and why DIavolo wasn't able to manifest it in the death loop.

The way I think of it is GER and KC are thematic parallels, and can both be thought of as having an effect on causality. KC leaves the effect, but erases the cause during the time skip, whereas GER can keep the cause but negate the effect. This is why Diavolo is locked in endless deaths, GER keeps causing death, but negates the effect, so it resets him to another death, and so on.

I don't think this is exactly how it works, but it's close enough to satisfy me, and seeing how the stands mirror one another makes it more satisfying than "I got the arrow, I win. Bye".

Requiem is more or less an extension of giorno's "punch you into slow motion so you feel the pain for what feels like a long time" except instead of it overpowering your neural senses so that you experience pain in excruciating slow motion, it overpowers your soul and fills it with enough life that you are constantly experiencing "death" forever, but never actually reaching it due to requiem stands having control over souls or whatever and giorno's stand giving life when it attacks

I like to imagine that for the rest of Giorno's life (which is about six years after Part 5 ends), he'd run into one of Diavolo's deaths and have a hearty chuckle about it.

Isn't that something Darkseid can do with his eyebeams and it's the single most evil and horrible thing he can do?
I'm not really sure Diavolo deserved that. He was just a dude who liked to sell heroin to kids. Kill him, don't drat him to an eternity of undying torture which he can't even just "turn off" like Kars because he's being constantly exposed to new stimuli, and not just the cold black void.

Did Giorno even know GER was doing that to Diavolo? And it wasn't for eternity, since Made in Heaven presumably put he out of his misery a few years later.

I'm more bothered by Josuke turning Enigma into a living book. Enigma wasn't really that different from Rohan when you think about it.

He sorrrrrt of figured that out toward the end, but it was probably a general guess without knowing the specifics.

I imagine MiH made Diavolo experience his deaths in even more rapid succession until the universe ended, and then made him experience them all a second time until Emporio finally scrubbed that timeline's events entirely. Unless you subscribe to the theory that Giorno and GER were unaffected by MiH, in which case he could very well still be putting Diavolo through hell 2 Big Bangs later.

It's so dumb, yet it is also 100% perfect for his character. Of course he has an ostentatious grill with his own name on it. Of course he does.

Typically if one owns a grill, one doesn't have WORDS engraved on it.

Not only does it have his name, it has an encouraging phrase preceding it, that he will never be able to read or see clearly but gently caress it GO! GO! ZEPPELI!

Annoyingly, it's right against a panel edge, but this is the best I could get.
