How come DIO couldn't move in Star Platinum stop time while Jotaro could? (and a nitpick but WHY DIDN'T THE GIRL DIO SUCK BECOME A ZOMBIE? ARAKI ACTUALLY FORGOT THIS) 1) I think that has something to do with a thing we call asspulling. 2) DIO had already used Time Stop for like 8 seconds, and then Jotaro activated his 2 or 3 or 4 (I can't remember), so DIO ran out of stopped time, sort of like how Jotaro did when he deflected most of those knives in the air, but some still hit him. 3) For someone to become a zombie, DIO has to leave some of his "vampiric essence" in them. DIO was low on fluids, and that's why he gave the woman the succ. It would be counterproductive for DIO to make a zombie when he's already low on fluids. 3) That and well... Joseph should've been a zombie in that case too, right? But what the person said, "vampiric essence" was lacking (so the person couldn't get infected) but also a zombie wouldn't be necessary for that fight, recharging was more useful.

Also, tying in with 1) we can say DIO "didn't get used to his body" (or maybe without "", I think it makes certain sense) so he can't do all the vampiric things he could (or maybe because it was human body in the first place).

And now rewatching the battle it does make sense that he went with his left leg because his right was broken. OK. But... why with a kick? Sure, TW did some kicks, but... mudas are your thing, right? Also, since I'm not sure how does hurting the user affect the stand

1) if blinding Jotaro doesn't SP, that blood thing was pointless

2) if it does... well SP did know when to hit bling, eh? (although I acknowledge this is a nitpick. A guy high of his mind is certainly going to think things through wounded (he did once but yeah, it's OK)).
