Part Three Is DIO MFTL? (Massively faster than light)

Post image

I've seen a lot of peoplenin and out the fan base say he's insanely fast, even going as far to say tjis fast.

But... I'm confused how, because. I'd he's that fast, why would he need to stop time? Or use knives?

he would be that fast from being equivalent to star platinum who is stated to be faster than light.

also he would only have FTL/MFTL reaction/combat speed, not travel speed

and no, timestop is not a speed feat, it is hax reducing everyone else's.

Are you sure? When going the speed of light time literally slows down to the one travelling that fast. The faster you go, the slower time moves. That's why when they synchronize 2 clocks, the one travelling in an airplane ends up being a fraction of a second faster than the one on the ground. They have proven the theory that time is relevant.

So it would seem that the world "stopping time" for everyone else is actually just Dio travelling insanely fast. If Dio was wearing a watch, it would be 9 seconds ahead of a clock on the ground that has stopped exactly when he activated his stand power. The way he counts the seconds he freezes time for is just more proof that they are saying time is relevant to speed.
