In _JoJo's Bizarre Adventure_ , Jotaro seems able to move even while Dio stops
the time. On the other hand, Dio can't when Jotaro stops the time.

Why?

How come when Dio stops time Jotaro can move but Dio can't when Jotaro stops time?


Jotaro planned to stop time when the limit of DIO's time stop was finishing.

This happened when Jotaro did the finishing blow after he survived the road
roller attack.

And when DIO stopped time, Jotaro can't use the ability but can feel the
situation in this case of "time stop world", but when he can move, Jotaro can
trigger the ability while he is in DIO's stopped time by use his time limit
between DIO's stopped time and the end of it triggering.

He basically counters DIO's stopped time.

I think Dio can't move in Jotaro's stopped time after the Road Roller attack
because he already used up his stopped time.

I assume Dio would actually be able to move in Jotaro's stopped time if he
didn't already use up all his stopped time during the Road Roller attack
before, but since that's the only time Jotaro uses his stopped time during the
battle against Dio we can just assume that he would be able to move in that
case.

Actually, you don't need to think so hard to understand it. Just consider
Jotaro fighting Dio at the start, where Dio throwed knives at Jotaro. Jotaro
uses his time_limit(Capacity in seconds to stop time) and can't move after it,
until time resumes again. This same applies to Dio, he can't stop time again
until time resumes.

DIO actually can move in Jotaro's time stop. While DIO was counting after nine
thinking his time stop ability was improving, he was actually using his time
to be able to move in Jotaro's timestop which is three seconds. That's why he
stopped at 11 seconds before he couldn't move.

The reason Dio couldn't move was because he used up his time to move
unconcsiously to gloat, classic Dio. After the road roller attack, he stopped
and gloated for a bit while Jotaro stopped time.
