An Explanation of Gold Experience Requiems Abilities

 An Explanation of Gold Experience Requiems Abilities

• Evolution of Previous Abilities
• Enhanced Life-Giving: GER inherits and enhances the abilities of its predecessor, Gold Experience. GER can imbue life into inanimate objects without direct contact, unlike Gold Experience, which required physical touch. This evolution allows GER to create lifeforms from debris or objects at a distance.
• Life Preservation: GER can create lifeforms that cannot be harmed. Any damage intended for these lifeforms is reflected back onto the attacker.
• Causality Manipulation (Return to Zero)
• Return to Zero: The power to nullify the will and actions of any opponent, even the time-erasing power of King Crimson. This includes any physical, mental, or temporal actions taken against Giorno or GER itself. For example, if an enemy attempts to attack or alter reality, GER can nullify these actions, resetting them to their original state as if they never occurred.
  

• Reality Denial: GER ensures that the future actions of those who oppose it will never come to fruition. This ability traps opponents in a cycle where their efforts are continuously undone, making it impossible for them to reach their desired outcomes.
• レクイエムの前では全ての敵の重志は無力。敵は自分の意志の先に得られる結果に、永遠にすることはないのだ。  In front of the requiem, the heavy spirit of all enemies is powerless. The enemy will never get the results of his own will forever.
• Infinite Death Loop: For those struck, not killed, by GER's power, their deaths are endlessly reverted, causing them to experience an infinite number of deaths, each unique and agonizing.
• さきらに既存のスタンドを超えるほどの攻撃力をもっているため、「究極のスタンド」といえる存在だレクイエムに殴られた者は死んだことも無に帰してしまい、何度も死に続けることにそのため自分の予知を信して攻撃したディアボロは、永遠に死を体験し続けることになってしまった The attacker who is struck by the Requiem is rendered dead and will continue to die over and over again, so that Diablo, who attacked based on his own precognition, will experience death forever.
• Power Nullification
• Negation of All Abilities: GER has the ability to nullify the powers of all existing Stands (up to the ending of Part 5, and possibly stands from Part 6). 
• Empathic Manipulation
• Reversion of Willpower: GER can revert an attacker's will to zero, effectively neutralizing their motivation or intent to harm. This ability can be seen as a psychological attack, weakening the enemy's resolve and making them incapable of continuing their assault.
• Energy Projection
• Life-Energy Infused Attacks: GER can project energy imbued with life force, which can manifest as high-speed energy beams. These beams can transform debris into lifeforms, such as scorpions, that can attack the opponent.
  
  
  
• Pain Amplification (Possible)
• Agonizing Death Loops: Diavolo described the pain he experienced in GER's death loop as "beyond all imagination." This suggests that GER's power not only traps victims in a cycle of death but also amplifies their suffering to an unbearable degree.

Power Scaling

「矢」によって薬化したレクイエムの能力は、既存のスタンドと同じ物差しで出べるのは不可能。あらゆる意志や力をゼロにしてしまう最力は、本体のジョルノでさえも気プいていないのだ。The ability of the Requiem, which has been medicated by the arrow, cannot be measured in the same way as existing stands. Even Giorno, who is the main body, isn't aware of the greatest power to reduce any will or power to zero.

Attack Potency: "Since it has an attack power that exceeds the existing stands, it can be said that it is the "ultimate stand", this would put GER's attack potency above Stands like Star Platinum, The World, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc., all who have shown Large Building Level - Large City Level's of AP. 

Gold Experience Requiem has a "None" in Attack which has been stated to mean it can't even be measured by Stand Stats which can measure Infinite as a Stat

Speed: Stated in Jojo-A-GoGo, GER exceeds all existing stands (up to Part 5, possibly Part 6). This would put him above Stands like The Sun, which shoots out beams of light, Hanged Man who can move through any type of reflecting surface, including human eyes, at the speed of light, or Red Hot Chili Pepper which is manifested through electricity, which travels at the speed of light. This would also put his speed above other Stands like Notorious B.I.G. who could infinitely gain energy from the fastest object nearby. Depending how you view the statements GER is potentially above Stands like Made in Heaven, who was able to travel infinitely fast and reset the universe twice due to his ability. GER is also capable of moving and talking during King Crimson's Time Erase, which would grant him immeasurable speed. 

Has a "None" in Speed which has been stated to mean that Gold Experience Requiem's Speed can't even be measured by Stand Stats which include stands that have Infinite Speed such as Made In Heaven and Notorious B.I.G.

Range: Scaling off Stands like The World, and Star Platinum, GER's range should be Universal. Araki states Time based abilities go "all the way out into space", this means The World, Star Platinum, KQ:BTD, King Crimson are all time based abilities that effect the entire universe. You could also say GER has Multiversal range due to the fact Diavolo is trapped in an infinite, parallel world, where he experiences different realities where he dies forever.

Durability: Should be greater than other stands shown before Part 5, Stands like Sheer Heart Attack, who could survive multiple barrages from Star Platinum. Or even a Stand like Superfly, which absorbs and reflects all damage given to it.

Gold Experience Requiem has a "None" in Durability which has been stated to mean it can't even be measured by Stand Stats which can measure Infinite as a Stat

Time Manipulation Immunity: GER itself is immune to time manipulation due to its causality control, also demonstrated when GER resists King Crimson's Time Erasure Ability. This suggests GER is above all other forms of Time Manipulation shown before Part 5. Stands like The World, Star Platinum, Killer Queen: Bites the Dust, should all be powerless against GER.

During the finale of Part 5, GER declares, 'You will never arrive at the reality that will occur! None who stand before me shall do so, no matter what abilities they may wield! This is GOLD EXPERIENCE REQUIEM!' This statement suggests that GER can counter any attack or stand ability previously introduced in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It also implies that GER could overcome certain Hamon abilities seen in Parts 1 and 2. Therefore, it’s reasonable to argue that GER possesses resistances to every ability shown in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

"No Matter what Abilities they may wield!" (Part 6)

GER’s scaling to Part 6 is debatable. While GER’s statement that it surpasses Stands 'no matter what abilities they may wield' is made within the same universe and timeline, most of the Stands in Part 6 didn’t exist at that time. This makes direct comparisons tricky.

Whitesnake, Weather Report, Survivor, Dragon's Dream, and possibly Burning Down The House,  Diver Down, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Planet Waves,  Jail House Lock, Bohemian Rhapsody, already existed during the events of Part 5.

FAQ

Just because Jojoveller omits the phrase about GER 'exceeding all Stands' doesn’t mean GER no longer holds that status. Jojoveller doesn’t contradict or revoke GER’s abilities, nor does it suggest GER is a fraud.

Jojo-A-GOGO, and the Anime & Manga still state GER exceeds all existing stands.

But other Stands also list 'none' in their Stand Stats. Does that mean those Stands are above all existing Stands?

    No, it doesn’t. Burning Down the House has 'none' for strength, durability, speed, etc. because its only function is to let Emporio interact with ghost objects—how do you quantify that? It's not a combat ability. Similarly, Dragon's Dream is another 'nothing' ability. It only communicates with its user and isn’t even on their side. How strong is a Stand that can only talk? The 'none' in these cases reflects the specific nature of these abilities, not some superior ranking.

Is it wrong to use these canon explanations of Stand abilities if multiple Stands are given the same title?

    No, it’s not wrong. In the story, only a few characters even know about GER’s true capabilities, and their understanding is mostly limited to the fact that it defeated King Crimson. Trish, Mista, and even Giorno might not fully grasp that GER can undo actions. So, when characters in Part 6 refer to Star Platinum as 'The Ultimate Stand' or 'an Invincible Stand,' it makes sense—they’re speaking from their own experience. For them, Star Platinum is 'ultimate' because it’s a terrifying force in their world.

    However, this does not undermine GER’s established rank and power. If Star Platinum being labeled 'The Ultimate Stand Ability' were to somehow surpass GER, it would imply that in Part 5, GER could easily defeat Star Platinum, but inexplicably in Part 6, without any new abilities or evolution, Star Platinum would surpass GER. This is illogical. GER is explicitly stated to be above all existing Stands during Part 5, including Star Platinum. There’s a clear distinction between Araki describing Star Platinum as 'The Ultimate Stand' and stating that 'GER is above all existing Stands.' GER’s unmatched strength, speed, and durability are so unique that they aren’t even comparable to other Stands, hence the 'none' in its stats.

GER can't be immeasurable because it was describing his ability Return to Zero

    This is unfair to say against GER. In every single stand description it describes their physical characteristics and their ability. 

\

Crazy Diamond. "The Fists that are thrown from his muscular arms generate great destructive power."

The Sun. "It specializes in heat and light attacks, and has a high attack power and durability."

Hermit Purple. "he lacks attack power, speed, and precision, making him unsuitable for combat."

The World. "It goes without saying that it has high destructive power, speed, and precision."

GER: "The power of Requiem evolved by the "Arrow" cannot be compared with existing Stands."

   Take note that the Stand Stats are positioned above the description, just like in all the other examples I mentioned. The stats are directly tied to the description that follows. GER is presented with the same description format as the other stands. So, why nitpick the wording and attempt to downplay GER's stats? GER has 'none' in every stat because it cannot be measured by the same standards as other stands. The same measuring system that quantifies infinite speed and attack power. It’s not unreasonable to assume that GER’s stats are immeasurable or, at the very least, surpass other stand abilities that have shown infinite power.

    Some argue that the description of GER—'The ability of the Requiem, which has been medicated by the arrow, cannot be measured in the same way as existing stands. Even Giorno, who is the main body, isn’t aware of the greatest power to reduce any will or power to zero'—refers only to the 'Return to Zero' ability, suggesting that only RTZ cannot be measured. However, every other stand description next to the Stand Stats details its physical characteristics and abilities. The Stand Stats themselves are not referring to only the ability of the Stand. Star Platinum does not have an A in Speed due to the fact it can Stop Time. It has an A in Speed because it literally is one of the fastest Stand abilities in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

  GER’s 'none' in all stats (speed, power, range, stamina, potential, precision) indicates that GER’s stats cannot be compared using the same measuring system, a system that can measure infinite stats.

So to conclude:

AP: Large City Level+  - Immeasurable

Durability: Large City Level+ - Immeasurable (possibly above damage reflection)

Speed: MFTL+ - INFINITE / Immeasurable 

Range: Universal - Multiversal

GER can't be speed blitzed, on the low end GER is MFTL+, and on the high end GER possibly has infinite reaction time or immeasurable reaction times.

GER can induce the death loop effect on contact, but I believe he will still need to find a way to kill his opponent first to start the death loop.

GER at minimum has resistances to: Pyrokinesis, Ice Manipulation, Water Manipulation, Sand Manipulation, Mineral Manipulation, Metal Manipulation, Magnetism Manipulation, Blood Manipulation, Fungus Manipulation, Air Manipulation, Light Manipulation, Darkness Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation, Explosion Manipulation, Information Manipulation, Mind Control, Fate Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Spatial Manipulation, Reality Warping / Manipulation, Void Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation, Age Manipulation, Death Manipulation, Disease Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Sleep / Dream Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Power Absorption / Power Nullification, Possession / Body Puppetry, Wish Granting, Illusion Creation, Shapeshifting, Damage Transferal, Attacks from Mirrors / Reflections, Dimensional Storage, Size Manipulation, Kinetic Manipulation, Duplication, Biological Manipulation, Weather Manipulation, Power Nullification, Feng Shui Divination, Resurrection, Summoning & Necromancy, Fear Manipulation, Hammerspace, Subjective Reality Manipulation, Existence Erasure, Time Acceleration.

If a character can resist causality manipulation but not emphatic manipulation / mental manipulation GER should be able to revert their intent to harm him to zero.

If a character has counters to Causality Manipulation, Fate Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation/Mental Manipulation AND counters to each of GER's resistances then they should be able to beat GER.
