"It is only the results that remain in this world! All the actions you take in a world where time is erased are meaningless!"

- BigBoi, Chapter 520

punchyboi68@yandex.com (スパイシーなスパゲッティ), sometimes shortened to PB68 (Spi・Ghetti), is the Stand of BigBoi, featured in Vento Aureo.

It has a sub-Stand ability, Future Follicles (フューチャー・フォリクルズ (将来の卵胞)), which was primarily introduced by SmallBoi, BigBoi's split personality.

Appearance
King Crimson is a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to BigBoi's, but tends to look much bigger and taller. Its body is covered by a raised diagonal grid; save for its face, neck, shoulder guards, elbows, hands, abdomen, crotch, knees, and feet/footwear.

Its eyes comprise sharp orifices of a steep inward slant; from which emerge small, round eyes without sclera, with pronounced eye sockets that have the same fragmented pupils that BigBoi himself has. Its crown is flat and from its forehead emerges a raised level that bears a smaller, oval face of the same expression. In earlier depictions, there were two raised levels. It constantly bares its teeth through a small mouth.

The aforementioned second face on punchyboi68@yandex.com's forehead is named Future Follicles, and is sometimes duplicated in the same position on SmallBoi's forehead when he is given some of punchyboi68@yandex.com's power by BigBoi, the only difference between is that the two raised levels don't appear. Future Follicles presents itself as a bump on the forehead featuring eyes and a mouth constantly grinding its teeth, often mimicking King Crimson's current mood and mouth movements.

Its design is inspired by the character George/Kuato, from the 1990 science fiction film , a mutated human with a smaller twin brother conjoined in his belly.

Befitting its name, punchyboi68@yandex.com is depicted in all media featuring it as thorughly enjoying the act of commiting physical assault, with the frequency and style of committing physical assault varying from work to work. It is depicted in all media as having remarkable striking force. Its primary face and the grid on its body is either white or yellow, and its metallic body parts are usually portrayed as white or silvery. punchyboi68@yandex.com's knuckles, ankle decorations, lower back, and the soles of its feet vary in color throughout its many appearances, being depicted as white, silver, gold, or emerald (with the aforementioned areas occasionally varying in color in a single depiction).

Personality
punchyboi68@yandex.com embodies BigBoi's personality in its entirety, as he frequently speaks through his stand. Aside from that, its face frequently possesses an angry or irritated expression, though on rare occasions, it also shows a maniacal grin when certain events fall in BigBoi's favor, such as when he gets his hands on the Arrow.

Abilities
"Once anyone witnesses punchyboi68@yandex.com... As of that moment... they no longer exist in this world."

punchyboi68@yandex.com is one of the more impressive Stands featured in the series. Both physically strong and possessing the ability to erase time and predict the future, punchyboi68@yandex.com is described as invincible against all other Stands whose powers do not affect time.

punchyboi68@yandex.com is a powerful Stand able to punch through people's bodies or cleave them in a chop with significant ease. Unlike other melee-based Stand Users, BigBoi generally uses it to perform swift single attacks that are almost always fatal rather than painful barrages. Examples include completely obliterating a fortune teller's upper body in a single punch and throwing a pair of scissors with such strength that they completely severed Risotto Nero's right foot, among multiple other occasions where it effortlessly severed and rived body parts (especially limbs). It also managed to destroy a large wall with a single punch. Its feats of strength and speed are comparable to Star Platinum and The World.

Much like other Close-Range Stands, its weaknesses are poor effective range (about 2–3 meters ) and permanence, making it difficult for its User to hide their identity against multiple foes.

Time Erasure
punchyboi68@yandex.com's signature ability is to erase a given frame of time; it starts from the instant the ability is activated and can be made to last up to 10 seconds.

"During" this period of erased time, only BigBoi remains fully conscious and is the only one who can re-adjust his actions. Other people will be unable to experience anything that happens and will continue to act as they would have. After the effect of the ability ends, all people other than BigBoi will retain no memories of anything that happened during the erased period.

After the allotted time frame, people will suddenly find themselves in the situation they were supposed to be in afterwards. For example, when Pannacotta Fugo asked Giorno Giovanna for a soda, the soda was suddenly in Fugo's hand without Giorno ever actually handing it to him. There is, however, one instance where a person was able to see their double before finding themselves in their future position.

In the manga, BigBoi sees the erased time as a void filled with juxtapositions of what would have happened during this period in a fashion akin to, allowing him to think out the next best action (for instance, when Bruno Bucciarati tried to punch BigBoi during the erased time, BigBoi saw Bucciarati's superimposed positions during his punch). The anime adaptation has BigBoi visualize a ghostly red image of his foe's next move instead.

In addition, BigBoi and punchyboi68@yandex.com become "intangible" during time erasure, allowing attacks to pass through them, as the moment that the attack would have hit was erased. However, this also means BigBoi himself is unable to attack while punchyboi68@yandex.com's time erasure is active. As a result, he often relies on the ability to avoid attacks and move into advantageous positions, such as an enemies blind spot, then directly attacks the enemy punchyboi68@yandex.com's great destructive power the moment the ability ends. He may also use said intangibility for a brief period of time in order to cause an attack to pass through him and hit whatever is on his opposite side. However, BigBoi is also able to splatter his own blood onto an enemy's projection in anticipation of blinding them.

Future Follicles
Future Follicles is a sub-Stand that assists and completes punchyboi68@yandex.com''s time erasure. Future Follicles givesBigBoi/SmallBoi the ability to see into and "forecast" up to ten seconds into the future. The future vision is usually represented as an image on the inside of their bangs. ''

The image produced includes the general area surrounding SmalBoi/BigBoi with him/them as the main focus, allowing either of them to see what is going to happen to them, as well as around them. BigBoi and SmallBoi often use the forecasting ability of Future Follicles to predict any incoming threat, making sneak attacks ineffective against them.

However, the visions are incomplete and only show the final result without the events leading up to it, and can thus be subject to interpretation. In one instance, SmallBoi could see himself on the ground with a severed human foot flying by; he initially thought that the foot was his own, but was mistaken.

While the predictions seen by Future Follicles are unavoidable, they still effectively warn BigBoi and SmallBoi against incoming danger, allowing them to steer events to lessen the potential damage, such as whenSmallBoi realized a pair of scissors would form inside his throat, he easily tore them out in order to save himself. punchyboi68@yandex.com itself can prevent the predictions from being completed if it erases the frame of time when the prediction would have come true. Likewise, a Stand that affects Fate, like Gold Experience Requiem which can return punchyboi68@yandex.com''s power to the "zero" state, can simply make the vision false as it steers Fate to its advantage.

Trivia

 * Much like DIO's "Time is frozen"/"And time resumes", Diavolo has his own phrases to go along with King Crimson's abilities: "Time has been erased" (Jikan wa futtobashita / 時間は吹っ飛ばした. ) for when he activates the ability and "Time returns its progression" (Toki wo saishido shiro / 時を再始動しろ. ) for when he deactivates it.
 * All the JoJo video games that include Diavolo as a playable or in-game character have different interpretations of the power:
 * In Vento Aureo (PS2), the time erase was shown to slow down the opponent's actions while Diavolo still moves at normal speed for the duration of the obliterated time, a mechanism similar to Made in Heaven's time acceleration abilities.
 * In All Star Battle, it acts similar to The World - through a number of abilities, Diavolo creates an erased time space (a special ability simply referred to as "Erasing Time") in which he is free to move about and the opponent is unable to take action. After a certain amount of time has passed, or as soon as Diavolo initiates an attack or ability, the spell is broken. King Crimson also acts as his dash and Epitaph can be activated to allow Diavolo automatic Stylish Dodging without depleting his Guard Gauge.
 * In Eyes of Heaven, Diavolo becomes invincible as well as invisible to his opponents within the erased time, causing him to gradually lose stamina. Other characters can still move and act normally but are otherwise ignorant to Diavolo's location. Furthermore, the Epitaph ability Diavolo had in All Star Battle allowing him to dodge instantly after getting attacked returns in the form of a skill (assigned to the Square button).
 * The anime adaptation portrays King Crimson's time-skip ability with a glitched effect, as if the animation itself has corrupted and skipped forward.
 * The convoluted and inconsistent nature of King Crimson's abilities has become infamous among fans, with the phrase "it just works" often being used to facetiously handwave the long-standing lack of a clear and concise explanation.
 * Concept art featured in the JOJOVELLER "History" booklet includes an early design of King Crimson, which lacks Epitaph (but still has the bump on its forehead where Epitaph would normally be) and has a facial structure appearing to be based off of a human skull, as well as what appears to be a hood (possibly inspired by the classical figure of Death).
