| King Crimson |
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part 5 - Vento Aureo AKA Golden Wind
You from a few seconds from the past witnessed yourself in the future. This is my King Crimson's ability. I erased time and leapt past it!" "This Is... King Crimson."
~ Diavolo
Overview[]
King Crimson is the Stand of Diavolo, the main antagonist of JJBA Part 5: Vento Aureo. King Crimson is a melee-based short-ranged Stand that has a 2.5% chance of getting obtained from a Mysterious Arrow, making it one of the rarer Stands in-game. This Stand was renamed Scarlet King, in order to avoid copyright issues until 1.3 update.
King Crimson's main advantage is its damage output. It has access to Impale, which induces bleed, and is an Execute move. It also has Epitaph to teleport behind whoever hits the user (or guarantees a chop if you get the Chop Passive, though not recommended as it ragdolls and doesn't allow combos.) - this can shut down piloting Stands, though Epitaph has a fairly short range limit. King Crimson can also use Time Skip to engage or disengage from combat, and traverse in SBR. It's key ability, Time Erase, makes the user immune to damage and invisible for around 9 seconds.
Despite all this, King Crimson's main flaw is that Epitaph and Time Erasure can be baited out, and more skilled players can respond to Time Erase if it is used offensively. When on cooldown, King Crimson lacks any major abilities to help it. Gold Experience Requiem can also cancel out Time Erase via Return to Zero.
Using a Requiem Arrow, King Crimson can be evolved into King Crimson Requiem.
Total Skill Points: 50 Points
Skills[]
M1 - Punch: King Crimson does a fast punch for 8.9 damage. This can be chained up to 5 times, doing 44.5 damage if they all hit.
E - Stand Barrage: King Crimson does a fast barrage that deals 1.5 damage per hit at max Destructive Power.
R - Stand Barrage Finisher: King Crimson throws a heavy punch which can break blocks and ragdolls the opponent. This move deals 17.7 damage at max Destructive Power and has decent end lag.
T - Epitaph: The user's screen and King Crimson's head glow red. If you are hit during this time, you will negate the incoming damage and teleport behind the attacker. Keep in mind that the attacker will receive little to no stun. (Counter)
T (If upgrade is unlocked) - Chop Passive: If the user is hit by an opponent while Epitaph is active and the chop passive is unlocked in the skill tree, the user will teleport behind them and deliver a chop, dealing damage and inflicting bleed to the attacker. The attacker will also get ragdolled and get their stand crashed.
Y - Chop: King Crimson delivers a heavy chop which deals 16.9 damage at max Destructive Power, applying bleed and stuns the opponent for approximately a second and a half, making it a great combo starter/extender. Cannot be canceled upon being interrupted during startup sequence unless ragdolled.
G - Impale: King Crimson thrusts its arm forward, donutting any target in front of the user, dealing damage and applying bleed to the victim. Impale has a large hitbox, and can be canceled on startup, can be parried but bypasses block. The victim of Impale will lie on the ground for around 3 seconds before getting up with iFrames. This move is an Execute move.
Z (hold) - Time Erase: King Crimson and its user erase time with it being unable to be cancelled unless a Golden Experience Requiem uses their "Return to Zero" Move or if MIH times their "Universe Reset" Move perfectly.
X - Time Skip: Teleports the user in the direction of their cursor. It has a similar range to Star Platinum and The World's Time Skip.

Combos and Tips[]
Trivia[]
- Within the fanbase of Jojo, King Crimson's ability was infamous for being confusing due to the poorer translations at the time. This coined the term "it just works" when talking about King Crimson's ability.
- The final boss of the YBA Storyline, Diavolo, uses this stand, except the Time Skip has infinite range and his Chop Passive for Epitaph is replaced by Raging Demon, the upgraded Epitaph move of King Crimson Requiem. Raging Demon deals a lot more damage, stand crashes, and ragdolls you in place, similar to Impale. In exchange, Diavolo cannot use Impale or Time Erase in game.
- This Stand can also be used by Diavolo's Split Identity, Vinegar Doppio. The drawback with this is that Diavolo must communicate with Doppio and allow Doppio to use certain parts of KC. Doppio is not aware of King Crimsons full potential.
- This Stand was temporarily renamed "Scarlet King" in-game in order to avoid copyright issues. The name "Scarlet King" is a reference to the antagonistic SCP deity of the same name
- The sound effect when summoning King Crimson is King Crimson yelling "It's over!"
- Tyrant Crimson is the most expensive king crimson skin
- The NPC, Diavolo's Epitaph(aka Raging Demon), breaks occasionally, meaning that sometimes you wouldn't get hit by the raging demon if you trigger the counter
