Īnother unique feature of the time stop is how DIO can seemingly float in stopped time. A flurry of thrown knives could fly for several meters before stopping near Jotaro. This is seen when the objects that DIO throws can momentarily move during the stopped time before grinding to a halt, and then regaining its initial momentum once time starts moving again. While time is stopped, DIO can move his own body, as well as his Stand freely, along with any object he touches, allowing him to strike his defenseless enemies, move to a superior position, and toy with his victims.Īll force applied by DIO during the time stop continues to exist after time resumes. The World's power is its ability to stop time, allowing only itself, DIO and anyone with the same power, to act within the duration of stopped time. Its main offense is generally characterized by a flurry of speedy punches and the occasional kick. However, it is unclear if this is an aspect of DIO's vampiric nature or simply having greater experience with his Stand. DIO claims that The World is even stronger and faster than Star Platinum since it bested the latter in a clash of rapid punches between the two. Super Strength/Senses/Speed/Precision: The World possesses phenomenal strength, senses, precision, and incredible speed, being able to easily punch Kakyoin right through his abdomen. The World is powerful enough to make it's user capable of flight. Despite requiring a close distance to inflict damage, its overwhelming physical might and near unstoppable control over time undeniably make it one of the most dangerous Stands in the entire series. The World is an exceptionally powerful Close-range Stand much like Star Platinum as noted by Noriaki Kakyoin and Jotaro Kujo, but boasting an effective manifestation range of approximately 10 meters. In the anime, The World makes grunting noises while fighting Star Platinum, and in the English dub, the mumbling sounds are replaced with growling sounds. "Useless, useless, useless!") The World Itself doesn't make much attempts at speech. Its Stand cry, seemingly communicated by DIO, is Muda Muda Muda! ( 無駄 無駄 無駄!, lit. The World shows no particular personality, although it occasionally smiles as it pummels others, hinting that it may be a rather cruel entity that takes pleasure in causing pain. It's revealed in DIO's notebook that he intended to engrave 14 phrases on his Stand to remember them, although it's unknown if he actually does so before his death. Even before its actual appearance, its rumored power was enough to strike fear and instill loyalty in DIO's followers. It is named for the Tarot card The World W, the last card in the Major Arcana and symbolic of tectonic chance: the beginning of a new world order.
In the OVA, The World is grey-skinned, has bronze heart motifs and ivory clothes. In the anime, it is grey-skinned, has green heart motifs and has golden clothes. In the colored manga, The World is completely yellow. Perhaps the tanks could be a reference to the Dio song, "Holy Diver", or the fact that DIO was trapped under the sea for 100 years. Plates on its shins, its footwear bears curved, sharply-pointed toes, similar to those of DIO's outfit in Part 3. Its chin, the base of its abdomen, its crotch and its knees are topped by heart shapes. The back of both its hands bears the shape of a simple clock face. It wears small, simple twin diving cylinders W on its back, connecting via short, twin-ridged cables to the rear of its mask perhaps secured by thick, ridged or puffed straps running from the rear of its waist over both its shoulders to its front. It wears a headpiece covering its face to the end of its nose, slanting at a steep angle from the base of its forehead to a peak situated above the rear of its head by about half its height, leaving the face of an inverted triangle visible to the front somewhat similar to the Red Crown of Lower Egypt W. It bears a striking resemblance to DIO in terms of appearance. A humanoid Stand, The World is tall and has a very muscular build.
