I don't get how Jotaro can launch his "oraoraora" against the road roller (7
seconds since time was stopped) and also stop time at the 9th second of Dio's
"The World" ability (i.e. just before getting behind Dio).

From what I understand, Jotaro is able to move for 2 seconds in Dio's stopped
time because Star Platinum is also able to stop it and they end in the same
"stopped time dimension" together. So, I think Jotaro shouldn't be able to
stop time after facing Dio's as he has already used his 2 seconds to stop the
road roller between 7 and 9 seconds.

If instead "counterattack" and "stop time" are different ability, shouldn't
Dio be able to fight back Jotaro?

Jotaro vs Dio: How can Jotaro both move and stop time in road roller fight?


It's correct that Jotaro can move in frozen time. And by that logic, DIO can
also move in frozen time for 2 seconds.

Jotaro can stop time for 5 seconds and he uses it (refer to time stop) in the
9th second of DIO's time stop, and at this moment, Za Warudo's time stop has
been replaced by Star Platinum's and DIO can only move for 2 seconds. He ended
up being frozen in the 11th second after Za Warudo was activated, but since it
has already been replaced by Star Platinum's (refer to time stop), DIO has
used up the 2-second that he can move in frozen time.

I don't really know how road roller work.

I'm gonna try to clear things up a bit better for those who don't understand
how Time Stop in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure works.

This is indeed true to some degree. In a technicality, Dio should be able to
move like Jotaro can, but this is not the case. Time Stop can allow for
multiple stand users to stop time at the same time or at different intervals
if they can move in stopped time.

There is, however, a theory that Time Stop can overlap if 2 stands use it,
thus leading to the effect of Dio being able to seemingly keep moving after
his previous limit was achieved. As stated in the Anime, his peak limit of
time stop duration was 11 seconds. Seeing as how Jotaro supposedly stopped
time for 5 seconds and stopped it at the 9th second of Dio's Time Stop while
moving in stopped time, this evidence can support this theory as the visual
and audio effects of Time Stop going into effect is only seen when time is
flowing like normal.

As for the road roller, I can kinda see why Dio would want to make sure Jotaro
is dead by crushing him with the heaviest thing he could find. Like he said,
"You can never be too careful when handling with the Joestars." Where he found
the road roller is what stumps me.

Counterattack and time stop are the same thing. Jotaro had barely enough time.
The second between 7-8 is the ora barrage [1.5 seconds] (it seems like 7-9.5
in the anime because the animators had to fit all the text said in the manga
in even though realistically it finishes their time stop just talking.)

[![enter image description

At this exact moment, at 8 seconds, Jotaro resumes his own time, waiting until
second 9 so Dio thinks he's dead, and to save some of his own time. I know
this because he said, "I stopped time at 9 secondes" meaning time for him was
resumed somewhere beforehand. Then he stopped time again and sneaks out of the
roller. This takes a second. So far Jotaro has used 2 of his 5 seconds. Jotaro
uses another second to get behind Dio [3/5 sec] and one to walk closer to him
and wait for him to completely stop moving [4/5]. By now it's second 11 as he
stated, and he only has 1 more second to punch Dio, and do any "badass
talking", which he does, also he concentrated his power into 1 kick to the
shins instead of a weak ora barrage, this is a strategic move because the last
time he punched his stomach/head and Dio managed to escape. This takes up his
last second.

Also if you are wondering why Jotaro has 5 seconds and not 2, it's because
when Dio got Joseph's blood, Jotaro got mad. It's known that how long the time
stop is depends on the user's stamina. Dio is a vampire, so he has lots of it.
Jotaro does not, but when people get mad and adrenaline is flowing it's known
that they got stronger. There are many stories of regular people lifting cars
to help their family members from being crushed, and running extremely fast
when in danger. The increase in stamina I believe is something like this,
maybe combined with the fact the Jotaro may have gotten the hang of time stop
and was concentrating more. Also for further proof, Jotaro has explicitly
stated that at his "prime" (which is now) he could stop time for 5 seconds.
