For example, when Pannacotta Fugo asked Giorno Giovanna for the water bottle that they brought, the bottle was suddenly in Fugo's hand without Giorno ever actually handing it to him. Īfter the allotted time frame, people will suddenly find themselves in the aftermath of the situation they were supposed to be in as the action could already be completed. After the effect of the ability ends, all people other than Diavolo will retain no memories of anything that happened during the erased period. Other people will be unable to experience anything that happens and will continue to act as they would have. King Crimson erases time and foresees Sticky Fingers' punchĭuring this period of erased time, only Diavolo remains fully conscious and is the only one who can re-adjust his actions. King Crimson's signature ability is to erase a given frame of time it starts from the instant the ability is activated and can be made to last up to 10 seconds. Much like other Close-Range Stands, its weaknesses are poor effective range (about 2–3 meters ) and permanence, making it difficult for its User to hide their identity against multiple foes. Its feats of strength and speed are comparable to Star Platinum and The World. Its speed is incredibly impressive with Polnareff noting that avoiding its attacks even with the added prediction factor of the blood count method is based on luck, adding on the fact that he has only avoided his attacks a single time. It also managed to destroy a large wall with a single punch. Examples include completely obliterating a fortune teller's upper body in a single punch and throwing a pair of scissors with such strength that they completely severed Risotto Nero's right foot, among multiple other occasions where it effortlessly severed and rived body parts (especially limbs). Unlike other melee-based Stand Users, Diavolo generally uses it to perform single attacks that are almost always fatal rather than painful barrages. King Crimson is a wildly powerful Stand able to punch through people's bodies or cleave them in a chop with significant ease. Both physically strong and possessing the ability to erase time and predict the future, King Crimson is described as invincible against all other Stands whose powers do not affect time. King Crimson is one of the more impressive Stands featured in the series. " Vinegar Doppio" Or As " Diavolo's" Second Personality Is Also The User Of This Stand. It also appears to hiss like a snake whenever summoned. Aside from that, its face frequently possesses an angry or irritated expression, though on rare occasions, it also shows a maniacal grin when certain events fall in Diavolo's favor, such as when he gets his hands on the Arrow. King Crimson embodies Diavolo's personality in its entirety, as he frequently speaks through his stand. King Crimson's knuckles, ankle decorations, lower back, and the soles of its feet vary in color throughout its many appearances, being depicted as white, silver, gold, or emerald (with the aforementioned areas occasionally varying in color in a single depiction). Its primary face and the grid on its body is either white or yellow, and its metallic body parts are usually portrayed as white or silvery. It is depicted in all media as having lime green eyes. īefitting its name, King Crimson is depicted in all media featuring it as being primarily red, with the shade of red varying from work to work. Its design is inspired by the character George/Kuato, from the 1990 science fiction film Total Recall W, a mutated human with a smaller twin brother conjoined in his belly.

Epitaph presents itself as a bump on the forehead featuring eyes and a mouth constantly grinding its teeth, often mimicking King Crimson's current mood and mouth movements.

The aforementioned second face on King Crimson's forehead is named Epitaph, and is sometimes duplicated in the same position on Doppio's forehead when he is given some of King Crimson's power by Diavolo, the only difference between is that the two raised levels don't appear. It constantly bares its teeth through a small mouth. In earlier depictions, there were two raised levels. Its crown is flat and from its forehead emerges a raised level that bears a smaller, oval face of the same expression. Its eyes comprise sharp orifices of a steep inward slant from which emerge small, round eyes without sclera, with pronounced eye sockets that have the same fragmented pupils that Diavolo himself has. Its body is covered by a raised diagonal grid save for its face, neck, shoulder guards, elbows, hands, abdomen, crotch, knees, and feet/footwear.

King Crimson is a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to Diavolo's, but tends to look much bigger and taller.
