I was fine with Jotaro learning how to stop time, but in the end he didn't even use the time stop to beat DIO, which annoyed me.

DIO, the man who got sucked dry by a vampire, killed and thrown out a window, cut in half, beheaded, trapped at the bottom of the sea for a century in an exploding boat, punched through the stomach, and had his leg removed during his fight with Jotaro, was killed because his soul got punched so hard in the shin that he exploded?

I think Jotaro’s time stop was on cooldown at the time because he used time stop to hit Dio in the legs not too long before that

Also Dio was weaker in the events of stardust crusaders due to him having to get used to Jonathan’s body for 100 years, and it still wasn’t enough since Jonathan was a powerful Hamon user and that doesn’t mix well with vampires.

However I do believe that Dio would’ve won if he hadn’t been cocky and used his stronger leg.
