Shrike will not be able to do anything to ger because all his actions will be reset to 0, however ger will not be able to kill him permanently, he continuously summons his infinite self in other timelines and different timesDoes Shrike have an answer for GER reducing his actions to zero and sending him into an endless death loop? I know the guy is broken AF in his own right, would his speed or other abilities allow him to overcome GER's abilities?
Tbf if GER couldn’t manipulate the past wouldn’t that mean Kira’s Bites the Dust time loop bringing Kira back in time would counter it? Now Araki may not have thought of every specific interaction when he made GER the most powerful stand, but I still have trouble believing that would work…not really sure how this goes, I think a lot of it depends on conditions of the match i.e where they meet and so on
If they are in a neutral setting, then GER should win. It can nullify the Shrike from actually using any of its abilities or jumping through time to begin with. Additionally the death loop just requires contact (unless JoJo a GoGo translations coming later this year change that) and during the death loop your actions are still nulled. Diavolo could have cancelled out of any of the deaths he experienced but wasn’t allowed to do anything. Current english translations are explicit in that what Diavolo does when he destroys a piece of time is universal, and GER doesn’t have any issue reaching other spaces and so on.
However, while GER can affect things retroactively, there isn’t really any indication it can freely manipulate the past at all, only the present and future. So if the Shrike is actually able to move back and so on I don’t know what GER could do about that.
that wouldn’t work because GER would be able to stop the actual action from occurring. Kira isn’t starting in the pst or out of regular time, he has to activate the BTD bomb which causes the loop, and that’s something GER can easily lolnope. Which is what I was getting at from “in a neutral setting GER should be able to win”Tbf if GER couldn’t manipulate the past wouldn’t that mean Kira’s Bites the Dust time loop bringing Kira back in time would counter it? Now Araki may not have thought of every specific interaction when he made GER the most powerful stand, but I still have trouble believing that would work…
Yeah, Shrike has one of the most busted time hax in all of fiction tbhif he exists throughout all of time then he should be able to tap into GER’s one weakness: the past
