here's a rant about how GER is in no way, shape, or form a deus ex machina:

1. it was already established that stabbing your stand with an arrow would grant you requiem

2. giorno is the main protagonist, what did you expect?

3. it was shown that diavolo was unworthy of the arrow

5. the definition of deus ex machina is an unexpected event solving a hopeless situation. in what way does that apply to GER?

6. it's established that requiem stands give you what you want, but in an insanely overexaggerated and rediculously powerful way. for example, chariot requiem could've just made the arrow invisible, but no, it swaps the souls of everyone in rome and starts turning them into weird creatures, and if you try to grab the arrow, it attacks you with your own stand, which has been powered up. GER could've just made GE stronger and immune to TE, but no, it completely resets actions to zero.

why did you read all that
