If Diavolo had the help of even one other gang member (Narrancia, Giorno, Mista), he probably could win. Yeah, but he’d most likely never get help from someone else unfortunately. Diavolo only has one chance at beating DIO. He’d have to go for the head or he’d be dead Anyone remember the part in Part 3 where Jotaro went for the head, and DIO's entire cranium was basically gone, but he still retained enough mental capacity and control to survive?

Or the part in Part 2 where Straizo explodes, getting his entire body annihilated, with just blood and gore everywhere, and he just wills himself back together, good as new?

The only thing that I believe could stop The World or Star Platinum (and maybe King Crimson and Epitaph) is something broke like GER, or Kraftwerk, which can pin people and objects to something else in space. If Sale can pin DIO to the ground, DIO should be immobile, even in Time Stop. Come to think of it, Kraftwerk could theoretically trump Made In Heaven. However, I'm not sure if this would work so well against Diavolo because when he "erases" time, he becomes exempt from fate. Therefore, either 1) Kraftwerk's ability would hold true, and he would try to punch Diavolo, only for his fists to fly through him, like Aerosmith's bullets, or, less likely, 2) when time is "erased," Diavolo is exempted from the effects of Kraftwerk's ability.
