Diavolo vs Funny Valentine | Who Would Win? 

Almost at 100k!!!

I like the idea of Valentine using his stand ability during the timeskip and suddenly becoming aware that he had jumped into a different world without realizing.

Ok, but how does Diavolo fair against Funnier Valentine?

Jojos powerscaling: Strength: child flicking his legs Hacks: multiversal

Pitting the guy who has infinite amount of lives vs the guy who has an infinite amount of deaths

They both have a lot of similarities, they fight dirty, they control fate, etc

Since the events do happen, Valentine is at a major advantage in that Diavolo can see him hopping dimensions but can't stop him from doing it in many cases. Furthermore, Valentine would keep switching bodies. Not to say this would be an easy battle for Valentine though, he is smart, but it would take a minute to figure out Diavolo's abilities. On the flip side though, Diavolo's Time Erasure seems to only excel against single targets (for counters) When being bumrushed by multiples or in a position where attacking might compromise him, he'd faster retreat. However, not to underestimate King Crimson's strength, I'd say it is one of if not the physically strongest we've seen (Star Platinum does its damage in a barrage of punches, King Crimson donuts and vivisects people with a single strike), it is highly possible Diavolo gets the idea he needs to instantly kill Valentine, and say, uses King Crimson to lop off Valentine's head.

Thank you! Feels like literally NO ONE seems to notice valentine's mortality when oneshotted or when prevented from getting between objects like the diego fight Edit: important to note, D4C and KC both manipulate timeLINES as opposed to time TRAVEL. I wonder if epitaph would interact somehow, like Underworld and Burning Down The House.

Diavolo interacting with objects in skipped time happens multiple times. He can do this only if he sees himself performing an attack via Epitaph. Then, even if he activates King Crimson's ability, the attack he is fated to do will still happen regardless. When that happens it's just instant game over for his opponent.

I do wonder if Diavolo could possibly avoid being destroyed by his copy self by skipping time, since it kind of takes him outside of reality (unless they both get the same idea and skip into the same place outside of reality)

These two villains have on their stands the shenanigans, they can do literally anything and it would work! Diavolo with his huge power can kill Valentine in OHKO, but Valentine can switch to other universes if he can have some sorta of surface to pass inside and so every damage is null. Valentine it's also a trickster, he can just spawn with other copies and overwhelmed Diavolo beating him easily. There are so many situations it's impossible to say who can win. On my opinion, Valentine can have high chances to win the fight.

Just a note that's worth taking: Both of King Crimson's abilities are tied specifically to the timestream of a single universe. As D4C and Valentine can cross different universes and therefore enter into safe spaces that can't be effected by Epitaph or time skip, that's automatically a huge advantage for Valentine.

Imagine Valentine with D4C Love Train VS Diavolo if he got the arrow with King Crimson Requiem.

Confusion vs confusion.

I just thought of something for Valentine. When he goes to alternate realities, the stand users around him can vary with their abilities. (The, obvious example being Diego having the World in an alternate reality) This could mean there’s three potential states Valentine could find Diego in, within alternate dimensions. Regular Diavolo, Requiem Diavolo, and infinite death Diavolo. The reason I believe these three different types of Diavolo could exist in other dimensions is because, it’s inevitable that they would be worlds were events would lead up to that fate. This is running off the logic that The way Diego got the World is because in that alternate world, he never was affected by scary monsters’ infection. Finding another regular, Diavolo would just cause a normal interaction between the two characters. Finding Requiem Diavolo is more than likely just a losing condition for Valentine. Because of all the evolved villain stands are usually far, far beyond everything else in the verse. (Made in heaven, the world, over heaven, bites the dust in comparison to killer queen) In the opposite case finding infinite death Diavolo could be an instant win condition. Mainly because that death could be funny valentine’s Instant kill. Which Diavolo wouldn’t be able to overcome due to it being fate, because GER. But that’s complete speculation on how alternate realities and versions Diavolo would work.

What I would like to know is how Valentine would even be able to find another Diavolo from a different universe, since his identity is a secret and finding him is the entire plot of part 5. Can he just make D4C summon a Diavolo? But what if he can only find Dopio. Can a Dopio and Diavolo coexist in a universe since they are not the same soul even though they share the same body?

Diavolo one shots if Valentine can’t use Love Train

What stops Valentine from just going to new universes and coming back with like 100 Valentines to all just run at Diavolo at the same time. I feel like Valentine is smart enough to also use this as an opportunity to gain more information on King Crimson's abilities and it's limitations and maybe even come up with some sort of plan to beat it.

Of all the villain fights, this is the one I'd wanna see the most. I gotta ask... Would dragging numerous Diavolos into the same reality be a benefit or a hinderance for Funny Valentine? I mean, I can see multiple King Crimsons using their Time Skips to prevent alternate reality Diavolos from touching, and then we just have two or more measurably stronger stands able to gang up on D4C. Also, can D4C be destroyed separate from Funny Valentine? I mean, the main rule is that a stand user needs to be taken out to take out the stand, but D4C is a separate case where the stand can jump to a new user... Kinda like Anubis from part 3. If D4C can be destroyed, maybe after losing one host but before it can attach to another, then that further synchs it for Diavolo as King Crimson's able to out-stat D4C and pummel 'em.

Valentine was able to find out Tusk Act 4's ability extremely quickly, he states something along the lines of "shoot me with another bullet of the opposite direction, I can still save them"

Araki should do a what if series like this, possibly doing two parts for each fight, with each part being a different winner

8:27 diavolo can’t interact with anything during time skip but you are probably referring to stuff like Trish’s hand getting cut off but diavolo didn’t do that fate said Trish’s hand was going to get cut off diavolo saw this in this future vision and since he knew this was going to happen in the next 10 seconds he skipped the time and events of him cutting of Trish’s hand and only the results of Trish’s hand getting cut off were left same when narancia died diavolo saw he was going to die and skipped the events that needed to happen in order for him to die only leaving narancia’ death diavolo also tried this in the G.E.R fight he saw giorno was going to die so he tried to skip time so he would just die but giorno used G.E.R to reverse diavolo’s time skip and actions to catch him off guard and kill him

All Funny Valentine would have to do is just bring a second diavolo in, easy one shot.

I think (with the amount of time he can burn through with clones) Valentine would figure out decently quickly that Diavolo has Epitaph. And once Valentine uses some more dimension hopping to figure out the specifics, he can bait out an epitaph > Timeskip combo and blitz the man with 18 different Valentines

I think Funny Valentine wins. The main reason being that the future king crimson sees has the exact faults of Oingo's book: you see what is happening, but only from one point of view. He can see "in 10 seconds, Valentine will try to stab [me] in the back" but there is no way of knowing which Valentine is the one trying to do it. He can skip all he wants, but he can't kill more than one Valentine at a time. Thus, he can't maintain the momentum he needs to win. He'll either get fatigued out, or lose due to failing to interpret the future properly.

I like to imagine a situation where Funny figures out epitaph and purposefully brings in another-self to get it killed and so Diavolo turns confident, Like when he saw himself Killing GER. So in the 11-12 second mark, Valentine can strike. I don't really know If that would win him the match but it's interesting to think about the shenanigans these two could keep bringing to keep a fight going, classic Araki style.

Diavolo specializes in single death blows. He could probably blow Valentines entire head off in one blow. If that isn't an "instant kill", idk what is

I agree that diavolo wins but you don't understand king crimson 1 he doesn't interact with anything during time skip at the end of part 5 fate does it for him he removes the cause and leaves the effect fate does the cause for him 2 he doesn't have a cooldown on his ability like Star Platinum does for example and he can use Epitaph inside of time skip actually his ability is more similar to causality manipulation then skipping time but that is a another debate entirely 3 the stats difference if you wank the hell out of both character Funny Valentine is barely faster-than-light and his AP and durability is only multi-city block level + on the other hand diavolo has immeasurable++ stats you can scale him off GER which you would have to scale off MIH so MIH has immeasurable speed GER surpasses MIH and has the same stats king crimson absolutely destroyed GER in a future prediction but obviously GER said NO that never happened because of his hax but he still had to punch diavolo multiple times to kill him it is my personal Theory that Diavolo got those stats at the end of golden wind when he had his resolve boost when he overcame his fear and decided not to run away that's just a speculation though but yes Diavolo wins.

8:32 what i think happens with Narancia, is shown when meeting Polnareff. what i think happened, is that he was destined to say all of those things to Polnareff by Epitath, we the audience hear him saying "this is a test" monologue, but Polnareff only hears "This is a test, wouldnt you agree" because he was destined to turn into Diavolo in those seconds, the fact that he skipped time didnt affect himself, so he was able to take his shirt off and turn into Diavolo. This is also backed up by the fact Polnareff was confused from where Diavolo appeared because he saw a kid down with Bruno. Without Time Skip, he would have saw from the beggining Doppio turning into Diavolo. Later he still figured it out, which i belive was part of fate to Polnareff to figure out how Diavolo and Doppio worked. Now what i belive happened with Narancia, is that he saw from Epitath he was going to kill Narancia, he skipped time, and that event happened without moving a finger because it was destined to happen. This also explains the elevator scene with Bruno and Thrish too

I think I remember someone who said if you didn't understand King Crimson the simplest explanation was to think of it like skip a video in youtube by 10 seconds. the footage still exists and what happened still happened but you the viewer/victim has no knowledge of the skipped footage and what happened during.

Diavolo is literally invincible and unbeatable only GER can really stop him

If the Universe and Reality itself doesnt like two objects in one place, does that mean if diavolo touches another diavolo while in timeskip, he will still explode, since reality is a greater being than that of time itself?

Video invalidated Diavolos loss is one of his infinite deaths therefore making it cannon and the only true way that this fight will end. Unless in the death he beats valentine and then trips and breaks his neck. Wait. Technically they both win because there will be a diavolo death in which it happens one of both ways at some point.

The two best villains with the two most notoriously complicated stands

Cold off the jump thoughts, provided we’re talking base D4C and not D4C Love Train I think I gotta give this fight to Diavolo. Epitaph and time skip is pretty cracked.

I spent like a week or 2 arguing with a guy on how diavolo his the only main villain with a chance to beat love train and you make a video about it, can't wait to watch, btw my conclusion is a stalemate bc diavolo dodges everything with time erase and epitaph while d4c stays unharmed bc of love train

8:22 What are you talking about? In that scene he's shown clearly outside of the skipped time attacking Giorno...

Thing is is funny valentine leaves the dimension they are in i am pretty sure epitaph would just see his disappearing and if he tried to erase time it wouldnt effect funny valentine while he is in that other dimension meaning like he could trick epitaph by just sending a clone to attack and then attacking right after in many different ways. Funny valentine may also just run away and when diavolo chases after him and crosses through that portal he just runs into a clone and insta dies. Remember that like funny valentine also comes packing heat with guns so he does have that as a advantage just having a buncha clones who shoot one a sec making it so that no matter when he time skips to he is going to have to get shot. Theirs also a good chance that just clone spam could tire diavolo mentally where valentine is fine since he can just change to a fresh body and then he looses due to that. Also a big one it seems that he can also trap people in the middle of objects so they are in both dimensions. This might mess with his timeskip and epitaph as he would have to skip time in 2 different worlds and see 2 different fates so it could half his ability while stuck messing him up a lot both mentally and ability wise.

The big thing I think is that it's not just D4C vs King Crimson, the real strength of nearly every Stand is in its user, and Valentine is straight up the strongest Stand user in the entire series. Johnny made this point after Diego was killed, that as dangerous as D4C is, the real reason Valentine won was his decisiveness and his absolute lack of hesitation in making whatever sacrifice or gambit is needed, even ones as brutal as throwing himself under a moving train just to bring his opponents with him. Diavolo is certainly pretty strong as a Stand user even aside from the power of King Crimson, but Valentine is in a league of his own

Love Train D4C vs. (hypothetical) King Crimson Requiem would be even more whack

I'm still pissed by the fact Diavolo just somehow violated the rules of his own stand to somehow impale our orange boy

8:20 it's the same thing about the elevator thing If someone was destined to get his arm cut by diavolo and time erasure is activated, the arm would be cut the same way, but diavolo doesn't need to do the attack

Take a drink everytime Meta says Diavolos name wrong

They can both win so rlly Depends on the writing. Diavolo can time skip donut u or head chop for instant kill, and Valentine can bring another u for instant kill too. Valentine can body hop which gives him the edge harder to kill permanently. Would love to see them fight, wana see diavolo win

I remember hearing a summary of the Who Shot Johnny Joestar? arc. I feel I should put emphasis on the "hearing" part because I could not listen; I lost track of the spaghetti of information about 1/4th of the way through and everything after that went into one ear and out the other.

Diavolo can interact with things during timeskip as long as its fated to happen

I was honestly thinking it was gonna be a wash but Diavolo can hold his own in this MU

3:23 Good thing funny valentine doesn't know of ultimate versions of himself like if he did then he would just swap bodies with ultimate life form version of himself making him broken

I was waiting for this video 🔥

if someone was destined to their arm cut off by KC and he skips time, they would still lose their arm as if KC did it with out KC actually doing so

Actually even a base funny valentine is invincible

two of the most confusing stands ong this is gonna make my brain explode 😭

I was going to point out the fact that it took tusk act 4 to beat Valentine, not because of love train but because of the fact that infinite rotation can follow D4C anywhere anyhow, but then I remembered it took Gold experience requiem to take out Diavolo since he can just skip past most attacks we know of in jojo Another point, though, is how they fight, I dont remember Valentines fighting style too much, but I know that Diavolo does a lot more killing than actual fighting. He never engages in long-term fights. He tries to end the fight as quickly as he can using lethal chops and impaling tactics and neglects longevity. Thanks to his ability, he can leave the defence up to future sight and time erasure. Against a stand whose only way of killing it is a near instant death, Diavolos' style of fighting can work quite well against Valentine

I agree both are tied with both being able to come out victorious either way, I think one thing to consider is Valentine requires prep time, not long but seconds in order to put himself between something to pull out more of himself. With Epitath I think Diavolo would be able to see where Valentine would be going to smush himself and or maybe even see Valentine go into another dimension

0:00 I know! You get a headache

Diavolo can definitely attack during timeskip. Narancha felt that one. He can choose between being intangible and being able to punch your during timeskip. Or seemingly both.

So if Valentine were to force Diavolo to encounter himself would Diavolo see another Diavolo or would he see a Doppio? Because if he did meet another Doppio would they conjoin when they touch since their TECHNICALLY two different people

i love your theory‘s. You just earned a new sub! i hope you reach 100k very soon! love y‘all

Dont forget, all Funny Valentine's are armed with guns.

Valentine should take this, maybe not easily but certainly at least.

Diavolo = Infinite deaths Funny Valentine = Infinite lives

Bro this is just like Wonder of you VS GER there is no clear winner and its all up to interpretation 😅but still an amazing video

W vid like always🔥

This is an interesting match. If it’s just D4C, the main threat is the alternate version merger. Diavolo can just avoid that with his time erasure. As long as Valentine can’t escape, Diavolo can win. If it’s also Love Train, Diavolo can’t break into it. At best, stalemates, but he’ll probably loose.

Valentine gets blitzed

The who shot johnny arc made me explode

One thing to consider is if Epitaph actually helps here. It seems that, as it simply reads fate in Diavolo's timeline, it would give nothing but false information (or no information at all) the moment Diavolo would be transferred to a different timeline by D4C -- something we know can happen pretty much instantaneously, and without the person even realizing it, woth a very loose requirement for it (being between two surfaces -- which can even just include two droplets of water as we learned in the fight in the rain). If that's the case, as suggested by Diavolo's grandstanding and other info we're given, then Diavolo is actually in a pretty rough situation. If it would take him more than 10 seconds to realize he's in another world, or the fight goes into an alleyway, or water/blood splashes around for 10.1 seconds, or anything like that, he's getting moved, and suddenly his reliance on Epitaph is either no help or actively a *hindrance*, giving him false information and making him jump the gun with time skips. And thinking about it, being moved isn't an interaction, the way D4C does it -- it's just moving from point A to B through a temporary portal. There's a good chance that time skip wouldn't prevent it, since it's not a physical interaction. That all said, i dont think this clinches it for Valentine -- it just makes it more of a 50/50. KC is still ridiculously powerful compared to D4C, but moving a timeline reader to one they can't read is going to massively disorient them, and leave them much more open to blunders and attacks -- and even moreso when we know how Diavolo instantly panics when Epitaph gives wrong or misleading information.

I used to not get King Crimson until I read something somewhere that his stand is essentially a disconnect of the Ends and the Means. If the Means create an undesirable End, he can just disconnect the two causal events so that the means do not manifest those ends. And this is how Gold Experience Requiem works but in reverse. By setting things to 0, it guarantees that the ends are always the same, no matter what means happen the end cannot be changed. King Crimson's ability is to disconnect means from ends. Gold Experience Requiem's ability is to make the means irrelevant by assuring the same end every time. It's why it's the perfect counter to King Crimson. If his ability is to skip the means, but the means are made redundant, then his ability is basically turned off, locking him in a loop of fate/destiny, unable to escape or skip over it.

very excited to see how this turns out

Even if diovalo wins a new funny valentine will just come back

ACCORDING TO JOJO LOGIC ONE SHOTS DOSNT EXIXTS WE SAW CHARECTER GETTING FATAL DAMAGE SURVIVE SOR FEW MOMENTS EX: kakyoin and brunoKing crimson cant kill fv even if he get the first fatal hit on fv fv would definately survive for atleast few moments its basic jojo logic we saw it with kakyoin and bruno so tht time would be enough to swicth his body also his ability to make enemy come in contact with clone and enemy explodes it would completelly obilirate diavolo

I think funny takes this overall his hacks are much better and as we’ve seen diavolo’s time erase isn’t unbeatable. We’ve seen people put up counters to it in the case of his second fight with polnareff and Bruno. Another thing to consider is diavolo’s only instant death was with the help of chariot requiem against narancia. All other deaths, those being abbachio, polnareff, and Bruno, all had time to do a final action against diavolo. This is all without bringing clones into the mix which could allow Valentine to gain information or the ability to transport parts of himself between dimensions to avoid attacks. My last point is a bit of a hypothetical. If there are two diavolo’s on the field, could he even skip past it as the only one who can interact in time erase is diavolo but would that apply to this other diavolo. It’s sad we’ll never get to see anything like this as we’ll never get to see what happens when two people erase time.

Honestly, I feel like Epitath doesn't even help Diavolo all that much here. It shows him what will happen, but he has to comprehend what he's seeing on his own. So when he sees a future of himself getting jumped by like twenty Valentines, he A) has no context for what the hell he's looking at, and B) he has no context for how to stop that from happening.

Hey, What Would Happen If Dio Used The Red Stone mask Of Aja?, im subbed so i can get notified

Really just boils down to one question: Does time skip and epitaph work in just this dimension, or all? If it's just this one, funny wins due to KC not being to see other dimensional funny's pulling a sneak attack. If it doesn't, Diavolo can see funny jumping dimensions... Predict then merk.

I’m sure if 6 Valentines is no problem under 10 seconds but what about 20 or 100? I don’t think even with King Crimson, can Diavolo maneuver around a mob of the same person all with the intent to kill him with D4C transferring each time and all they have to do is tag him with an alternate version of Diavolo, who’s probably confused to what’s going on. The alternate version probably won’t have the same stand though since Diego didn’t but it could go either way.

Now make a video explaining how Funny Valentine lost all his weight and became buff in the span of a few panels.

well no wonder you are confused on who will win, a confusing stand vs an even more confusing stand leads to the most confusing battle.

My head couldn't even comprehend time stop vs. time skip and expect me to understand this-

another reason love train isn't here: lucy is the cause for love train, why would valentine bring lucy into the universe where diavolo is

On the Diavolo side, there's also the weird physics/metaphysics involved with him being a second soul inside Doppio. This fact messed with Silver Requiem's soul-swapping power and there's the potential for it to mess with other stuff. Like if Funny Valentine tries to destroy Diavolo with an alternate universe clone, but only finds a clone of Doppio without Diavolo in him as well, or Diavolo's alternate universe body is someone completely different. Or in an extremely weird case, we find that in one universe there's a Funny Valentine with that universe's Diavolo inside his head... which would probably result in the two Diavolo souls canceling each other out while leaving the Doppio and possessed Valentines physically unharmed (or destroying them as collateral damage). I mean, there's no guarantee one way or another, but it's just another odd thing that could result in a twist during a battle between the two.

One thing that goes in Valentine’s favor is that all the copies of himself he pulls into the main timeline each have their own D4C, though only one has an ability all the D4Cs have the same combat stats, and it’s strong enough to at least sever limbs with one strike. It’s totally possible that Valentine just sends 100 copies of himself to gang up on Diavolo; sure Diavolo was confident enough to take on six stand users at once, but 100? Also no contest that if Valentine has D4C Love Train it would be an unmitigated stomp.

In my personal opinion, I would go with Valentine, only due to the point you brought up with the confusion factor of beinging in another Diavolo. But another point I believe is that, and dont quote me exactly cuz i havent really read all of SBR yet, but what if Valentine could just like.. pull in multiple other Diavolo from other universes? If im wrong about the last statement, please dont get like super super mad at me bros, I haven't read it all okay :')

either Diavolo in character quickly decapitates Valentine asap (knowing that Diavolo likes to settle things fast) or Diavolo dies out of curiousity

16:09 i also think diavolo has a MUCH higher chance of hitting that 'instant kill attack' that diego mentioned, since thats kinda... thats kinda his thing, big one punch big damage. All of his attacks have a chance to just KILL Funny valentine, theres not much stopping him from headshotting him the moment a time erase ends

Okay this video finna be nuts 😂😭

Tbh, My oppinion here would be that Funny Valentine wins Im kinda thinking of the situation where valentine was somehow able to pull Diavolo into another dimension and see himself and another FV in order to confuse him for a split seccond. And to top that, multiple FV clones of course. But idk if epitaph could traverse between dimensions, or does it only work in a single dimension and can't see what would happen if Diavolo we're to be pulled into another one. And during that split seccond of confusion towards Diaovlo, FV could either grab a gun or impale Diavolo if the epitaph theory didn't traverse dimensions.

My money is on Diavolo. Let's say Funny Valentine pulls in another Diavolo so they merge and explode? Diavolo sees this coming with Epitaph and erases the point he would he blown up. Funny Valentine is suddenly 10 seconds removed from where he last was. Diavolo donuts D4C and Funny Valentine dies. With the Stand itself being destroyed there's nothing to allow Funny Valentine simply replacing himself because D4C itself got destroyed.

heys metas i am enjoying your jojo videos and i been thinking of a cool idea for a side story which delves into more of how things are with the speedwagon foundation. we never got a clear look at the group itself. i think it be cool to see how it was ran, maybe like from the prospective of an agent who does behind the scenes work like finding the evidence of the stand arrows for jotato for part 4 or investigating ancient pillar man village sites

What if wonder of u requiem vs soft and wet? Who will win

I can't see Diavolo beating Valentine due to the fact I have not seen Diavolo kill someone in an instant way like Polnareff , Bucciarati, and Abbacchio, etc. F.V has way more win-cons than Diavolo does.

Could king crimson in time skip walk through valentines barriers because hes intagible or do walls and shit still touch him

Diovalos durability in Rissoto fight is peak

The outcome is a matter of whose terms the fight is on. If it’s on Diavolo’s terms or they are just smashed together like action figures death battle style, I think King Crimson ends D4C before D4C can overwhelm or counter Time Stop. If Valentine approaches first, using clones as a testing ground, I think he wins. Diavolo is just not very creative. He is intelligent and powerful, but the most clever thing he does it throw blood in someone’s eyes. Valentine played 2 powerful stand users and 2 Spin Users all at once, to the extent that they didn’t even know what was going on. Diavolo is better in direct combat, but Valentine has terrifying potential given even a moment to think

If you see this Can you explain the fence thing on how he manged to impale someone there or was that just fate or him. Also why can kc spray blood in people eyes during time skip

If you meant he interacted in time erasure with his blood, I have a theory. I think its like with crazy diamond, and once the blood exits and gets off his body, it is no longer a part of his body, and could then interact with the people and evironment.

The biggest contrivance for this fight, in my eyes, lies in the idea of KC likely not being able to see events that lie outside of space/time he is in as of the next ten seconds. Diavolo can see events within the realm of time that is within normal function, we can agree on this. But, I would note, he could not see events put in action from GER, or even the conversation GER had with him. Essentially, a moment outside of the dimension. I bring forth the idea then that Diavolo might not be able to see the fates of alternate Valentine’s. The one with D4C, absolutely, due to now being the “root Valentine”, but the others essentially lie outside of his realm, in a way. This of course relies on some assumptions. The second big point being that, if a second Diavolo is brought in, the two will likely be entirely unable to avoid eventual fusion. They may skip time to buy more, but eventually they will make contact. Once contact is made, damage will become unavoidable. As the two exist on the same realm, even if one DID try to skip ahead…the other Diavolo would likely be brought along. Essentially, the result being a Merger Spong, no matter the result. I for one like the idea of KC being able to survive, but…well, Diavolo, in a fight with Funny Valentine, would be fighting against a slowly ticking time bomb. And that bomb will only keep multiplying.

Diavolo, meet Diavolo. *Horrible death noises*

So what it Valentine just continuously brought in hundreds or even thousands of copies of himself to just bum rush Diavolo? If he kept switching places and positions while doing this, Diavolo would eventually just be so worn down and tired that he wouldn't really be able to continue defending himself after some time? Reading the future and time skipping would still eventually drain him I would think. I mean he could just try to escape, but with enough Valentines all over the place, he would definitely have a hard time doing it

I think this is more complicated than we realize. I think this is a battle of who figures out who's ability first. Case for Valentine: He keeps jumping 10 seconds and ends up dying constantly, so keeps switching bodies and maybe starts bringing more over. He notices an odd pattern. He keeps getting attacked most often from behind so he starts having a second him watch behind. He watches as diavolo moves spots and figures it out so he play attrition. He out staminas him and kills Case for Diavolo: He bunches/slashes countless Valentines. He starts to notice the pattern of die, switch, repeat. He starts using timeskip and epitaph to find his movement pattern and move between the regular valentines. He steadily kills each until he's close enough. beheads or crushes Valentine's head High dif and I think slightly more in Valentine's favor since he has more "time" than Diavolo
