OK, hang on. There's something that always confused me about Star Platinum's time stop in Part 6.

Feel free to correct me if I get something wrong.

So, right before Pucci gets his Made In Heaven Stand, Jotaro returns from the coma and saves Jolyne, and we get a little info from Araki on how Star Platinum has "evolved" into Star Platinum: The World. That is now the NAME of the Stand, not the name of the ABILITY. And when Jotaro stops time to throw the spear at Pucci, he says he can stop time for a maximum of 5 seconds. Then Pucci gets Made In Heaven and the time stop is shortened to what is apparently, unless I'm hallucinating as I'm reading the manga, FIVE SECONDS. So how long can Star Platinum stop time for in Part 6?! Can he actually stop time for nine seconds outside of sped-up time?! Can he only stop time for 5 seconds and it's shortened further, and my confusion is thanks to a translation error?! This is so confusing!
