Most people when introduced to king crimson got the basic idea, but these issues confuse the matter and explaining one or two usually leads to contradiction with the others. Those events I can remember are 1. The fact he positions himself rather than attacks implies he cannot attack in erased time. 2. Trish was grabbed from the elevator in erased time. 3. The bullets passed through diavolo. 4. Bars were bent and Narancia in Giorno's body was skewered atop them all during erased time. No rationalisation or metaphor for how it works has explained all these issues at once in this thread thusfar "The fact he positions himself rather than attacks implies he cannot attack in erased time" and " The bullets passed through diavolo" is not contradiction at all

when he erases time he erases everything but himself

so there is nothing to punch and there is no bullets to be hit by

the rest i agree with Adventuretime1 , at least that we didn't exactly saw what happened in the elevator or near the bars, he could have just erased time, positioned himself and do something extremely quickly (KC is extremely strong and fast after all)  

(or even parts that we see, like when Diavolo ripped fortune tellers hand without him noticing is it just KC being extremely fast and strong? is it done in "erased time" thus saying that KC can interact with others, even tho he didn't in other moments, like fight with Bruno and Polnaref? we don't know, it's just happened, we can think whatever) but there are times in the manga where we see stuff that doen't make sense in the context (like Bruno seeing his future self) 

but don't forget that Araki is Araki, i know, it sounds like lazy excuse, but lets be real, it's not like every other stand and ability end event always makes sense, there are moments in JoJo when things don't happend according to rules established, or rules don't make logical sense, or rules change in the middle of the battle, or things not explained at all and never mentioned again'

but in all times when Diavolo  explains KC (like during the fight with Bruno, Risotto, Polnaref) it as if times doesn't exist and nothing matters when KC uses it's ability, and only Diavolo can perseve whats happening (and whats going to happend because of Epitaph), and to everybody else time just "jumps", which i assume is basically Araki saying "Yep, this is what i had in mind in regards to KC ability", so that's why I think what I think
