The common misconception is that Diavolo is just erasing people's memories, but stuff within that erased period is actually changed. How would Doppio have defeated Risotto if KC didn't erase time and allow Aerosmith's bullets to pass through him?

I agree with the thought that what is said and what is done don't match up. A lot of the time, KC erasing/skipping time actually seems a lot like time stop. I think Araki should have done more to depict characters moving within erased time outside of Bruno's first encounter. What ended up happening was just characters staying in the same exact place while Diavolo teleported around - like DIO did.

One really amazing idea that was missed out on would be Diavolo generating a "shadow" of himself during erased time. The shadow would represent him and his actions in the normal flow of time and maybe even take would-be hits from attackers while the real Diavolo just maneuvers around to opponent's blind spots. That would really nail in the idea that "King Crimson allows Diavolo to exist outside of time" and help justify certain unconscious actions the people affected by the ability take.
