The point then, would be that GER can reset your will to zero by resetting your actions. How powerful is your will when you can't express it through your actions when they get nullified? Agreed. Reseting someone's will to zero is very ambiguous. Like, what does that actually mean? We can't even say for certain if Giorno used it against Diavolo, much less what its actual effects are.

At best, one could make the argument that GER "setting your will to zero" means you can't use your Stand, since Diavolo never uses King Crimson to defend himself during his infinite death loops. But that's entirely speculation. I don't think we have enough information to claim "reseting willpower" is a game changer. I agreed. Maybe Diavolo cant get his stand out since He is in Death loop.
