In a hypothetical battle between two Stands, in this case GER vs Made in Heaven, the assumption would be that Giorno has access to GER without concern. If he didn't, it wouldn't be a battle between GER and Made in Heaven, it would just be standard GE vs Made in Heaven. The hypothetical already assumes that Giorno has access to GER.

Also I'm probably just going to respond in this thread cause we're basically having the same argument in two different threads lol. Hm, I see your point, I assume the battle would be Giorno vs Pucci rather than GER vs MiH, I prefered it that way not to give Pucci the advantage as a blind fanboy but since those two are stands and are bound to their masters' will I considered it as a better comparison. I just don't like contextless battles (to give a general example, like those where the characters are said to be 'bloodlusted', characters wouldn't behave like for example in Mortal Kombat where for example, a rather extreme one, Cassie Cage can shred to bits her own mother without remorse while smiling). Fighters in Jojo rarely fight on even terms, knowing about the powers of each other stand (or even the identity of the user).

Given how the events played it's even unkown if those two even meet. There was 10 years in between, perhaps Pucci talked with him several times or their paths just weren't destined to ever cross. No one knows what happened to Giorno, he could've even become a farmer and destroy the arrow as far as we know.
