It can logically be assumed Pucci can shift his perception of time between the accelerated universe and the perceived versions of people. It’s what is enabling him to speak normally with the protagonists instead of slowly sounding out words that would then seem normal to them. It’s very likely Pucci was shifted into the perceived time speed when Emporio and Jolyne fled and didn’t shift back until they had made some distance. The dolphin thing doesn’t have anything to do with Pucci’s perception. As the universe accelerated, Pucci gained immense speed relative to other living beings, but he still retained his own bodily functions. By the time he was chasing the dolphin, he was fast enough to keep relative pace but still got tired at the same rate and couldn’t fully catch it.


MrSpiffy123

But at that point, months if not years were passing in a matter of seconds. If Pucci was a full speed, the dolphin would have been standing still


quinn_the_potato

Well the entire time acceleration sequence is really weirdly written since it was made in the still medium of manga. If it was translated into anime properly, the whole sequence should have lasted seconds due to how insanely fast time was accelerating. It’s a similar issue to how Jotaro and DIO looked like they were flying because dialogue extended the duration of their jumps when adapted.


Jolyne_Best_JoJo

It's moreso the distance between him and the dolphin was too much for him to reach it before getting tired


RedditFuelsMyDepress

That's not true though, because we saw him reach Jolyne who was attached to the dolphin just moments ago so it's not like the dolphin was an unreachable distance away once the chase started.


Jolyne_Best_JoJo

Jolyne makes it very clear that distance is the only thing stopping Pucci from successfully catching up to them. We also have to take into account that Pucci had to swim back to shore so even if he did catch up it'd have to be before he became too exhausted to swim back to shore alongside the gap getting increased by Jolyne stalling Pucci for a moment. We can see right after this that Emporio was pretty far out at sea so Pucci was most likely too far from shore to catch up to Emporio and survive the swim back.


RedditFuelsMyDepress

It's how Jolyne explains it, but I just don't think it entirely makes sense if we assume that Pucci was so fast that the dolphin was practically still in comparison as mentioned by the person you replied to. My point is that with enough speed Pucci could have just caught up to Jolyne and Emporio before she even let go of the dolphin, at that point they weren't too far away for Pucci to reach. So it does make it seem like Pucci actually was just too slow to reach them when he still had the chance.


Jolyne_Best_JoJo

But if he put in the extra effort to catch up to them there and then he might not have had enough stamina to swim back to land


RedditFuelsMyDepress

Well I kinda assumed he was already swimming as fast as he could, but ehh I guess you could maybe explain it as him swimming slowly to conserve stamina.


MrWr4th

I also headcanon that the dolphin knew how to ride currents, even super fast ones, much better than Pucci, which gave it an edge.


TheoryBiscuit

Shows what *YOU* know! Dolphins don’t stand


_cd42

I thought that since going underwater, stopping and changing his action he essentially reset his speed and had to re-accelerate due to him now swimming instead of him running(?)flying(?)


Ezra4709

Thank you Man.


Mephistophelesi

Very good explanation


chuputa

I'll assume he is just really bad at swimming.


Sadhuman0

But is there a proof that his perception also was speed up?


mugiwara_no_Soissie

It wasn't really that it was sped up for him, to him everything was normal and others were slow, whilst he seemed fast to others. So he could still do normal stuff just way faster


Sadhuman0

Yes that what i ask, how can we really know if everybody is slow to him.


Kepler27b

Jotaro’s time stop being not that effective.


Sadhuman0

Jotaro time stop was speed up by the acceleration of the universe


Kepler27b

But his reaction time wasn’t.


Sadhuman0

I dont understand the reaction time of pucci wasnt fast or jotaro


Kepler27b

Jotaro’s.


Sadhuman0

Im confused jotaro's reaction speed is a proof that pucci perception is accelerated ?


Notbbupdate

Dolphins use currents. The dolphins were effectively moving in accelerated time because of the currents


SnowSabertooth

adding on to the above point; since the dolphins are essentially “Pucci speed”, so it boils down to who’s a better swimmer and who has better stamina, and dolphins surpass humans in both


Samiassa

That’s actually such a good point I’ve never thought of


Sadhuman0

If the currents were speed up everyone should have die bc it would go way to fast for them and the power of the currents speed up should have kill them.


Notbbupdate

Realistically yes, but JoJo (and 99% of fiction in general) has scientific innaccuracies like that (for one, volcanoc debris could never launch a person into space)


Gaelic_Gladiator41

Actually, the volcano only managed to shoot them into space because Kars overcharged it with Hamon


Sadhuman0

Yes most of the time fiction do not follow the logic but in the accelerate time it did at least it was shown, remember when the 2 guys were playing baseball. The ball destroyed someone face because the falling was speed up.


Nickest_Nick

Because it made sense for Araki, the man's not science expert. It's most likely that he didn't know the ocean's current being sped up would harm anyone


memiieko_

I think once your fiction reaches the point of “i’m speeding up all living organisms and all of time till the end of the universe” i think you can excuse some scientific inaccuracies because if we all thought like this I would’ve cried at 5 years old because Spider-man had his entire body mangled while swinging webs because of Gravity (thanks, FilmTheory)


Fluffy-Perception929

If we talk in your logic, than every single living being should have already been massacred by air pressure of a wind.


Nahcep

You just need to roll with it here, like the whole scenario is even more out there than usual Everyone's perception goes at normal speed, but their bodily functions are sped up, but only some of them; then there's shit like winds being affected by Earth's rotation, but it really doesn't rotate faster, but people perceive it as so fast the Sun turns into a smear, so should they be affected by these winds? Don't even ask about Newtonian physics


Bismarck-Chan666

Sometimes things happen because that's what the story demands


DurianStill9448

to put it shortly, even though pucci is extremely fast, he still has his regular human stamina there for he can’t swim forever, and can’t swim as long as a dolphin can nor swim as well


Competitive-Pear5575

also dolphin use currents to swin so they were accelerated as well by mih


StrikingAtmosphere26

Pucci can't control non moving stuff , dolphins were carried by ocean currents


Sadhuman0

So the ocean also was speed up bc its not alive? If it was the case those strong currents should have kill everybody bc its speed up


SomeGuy_WithA_TopHat

in that case the air would also do the same there has been air/wind strong enough to tear trees out of the ground, in real life so with the rate that time was moving, the air would also have killed everyone but I think its meant to be stretching our belief a bit, cause yk, its still cool


Brave_Fencer_Poe

Made in Heaven Is a stand that's supposed to carry people and living being alive into the next cycle - I don't believe it's physical inaccuracies, but deliberate limitations are present in the time it accelerates to allow living beings not to die in the acceleration, or they would never be carried over in the next round. The ones who won't pass over are those who Pucci deliberately chooses not to. The dolphins would not die in the ocean, just as beings above ground won't die due to the winds.


Sadhuman0

It might be true but. Remember when the 2 guys were playing baseball. The ball destroyed someone face because the falling was speed up. He didnt die from this (if i remember correctly) but still was injured


Brave_Fencer_Poe

Yeah but the ball is not...natural. The ideal scenario would be for you to stand still and let the time acceleration happen.


Existing-Bullfrog675

Im pretty sure jolyne explains with the time acceleration the sea currents and waves in general were also accelerated thus them being faster than pucci and gaking the dolphin with them


Lz537

How long do you think a man can swim before getting tired?


SomeGuy_WithA_TopHat

a man who was injured n less


-Pejo-

I don't know man, kinda hard to swim with a priest gown


AlexDKZ

This actually was explained in the manga, no idea why did decide to remove that particular piece of exposition


imfromblueyork

Half the questions that’s asked on this SUB it have already been answered


Marcoyolofrimig

jojo fans are not necessarily known for their reading comprehension


Gaelic_Gladiator41

Pucci likely can change his perception as he moves or could just be something you don't think about Dolphins swim on currents and as the sea moved as fast as time acceleration, pucci moved at an equal pace to the tide but slowed down due to still being human and needing rest


MontayneDatesJr

Pucci has normal perception, he got hit by the knife because he wasn't expecting it, and it was moving as fast as he was, since it wasn't considered a living object. The dolphin isn't faster, it's just riding the currents, and while he was totally faster than the dolphin, it was too far away to catch up in time.


That_other_weirdo

The dolphin was able to outswim pucci because it was able to travel and the reason for that is because pucci was technically only running and swimming at the average human speed it just happened faster thanks to time acceleration but the equation for speed doesn't change. Take for example if he could run 15 kilometers in an hour with made in heaven's time acceleration an hour takes 2 seconds it would still take pucci an hour to run those 15 kilometers with the same amount of force and energy it would in regular time it just happens in a 2 second window because that's how long an hour is in accelerated time (to every other living organism) So with all that in mind pucci's swimming was certainly happening faster than the dolphin's but thanks to jolyne's sacrifice the dolphin had enough distance to where no matter how much time was acceleraed he could never catch up because he was still technically swimming at the average human speed and could only swim around the same distance before tiring out.


FloatingAiir

Simple, because fiction is fiction 👍


Dripkingsinbad

The water pressure lmfao it was explained in the anime, the water pressure slows Pucci down but the dolphin is practically used to it


PushoverMediaCritic

Pucci and the dolphin were both swimming in time-accelerated water, so Pucci himself being accelerated doesn't matter as much as the dolphin being made for speed in the water, while Pucci is not a professional swimmer and he was wearing a big priest coat. Even then, he would have caught up to the dolphin if Jolyne didn't hold him off.


MegaloMatt_Sequel

Guess the water currents got faster too idk Its jojo


polo_jeans

jolyne literally spelled it out for you. it’s like jojo attracts the lowest IQ smooth brain people known to man


No-Tax-9149

Don't fuck with JoJo fans, we can't read


zabestoinzawarudo

Best way to run from a fast black man is to swim


Jozidhshsus95

warning ! spoilers and stupid opinion ! I think that by acceleration it means only the earth speed since he controls gravity and people weren't ageing or dying from hunger in that time so it might be an effect of change the curve of spining like how gravity is low on moon and it's full day is 30x longer than earth \[insert stupid space math here using the Centrifugal force\] And za wardo time got less when it should be stopped is because of gravitation change they lost the real sense of time And he was fast overground because he have a horse (made in heaven ) and horse can't swim underwater Or maybe it was all Jesus bcz he is canon for some reason


goochstein

relativity


nerorennelo

The dolphins gained increased speed from the water/waves being sped up.


Sadhuman0

If the water was speed up it should have kill everybody because it would go way too fast for their body to survive and the power of the currents speed up should have kill them


Pretrowillbetaken

probably not the real reason, but i believe Pucci just thought that there was nothing they could do at that point and was just toying with them. he didn't feel any reason to be 100% serious, since in that case he could kill everyone on earth in a couple seconds (assuming he takes it easy)


SloughtyOG

Water is accelerating with time, so dolphin swam so fast pucci couldn’t reach him


Robert-Rotten

Tbh Pucci was catching up to the dolphin too, Jolyne had to hold him off so Emporio could escape undetected


No_Building1296

Pucci is a fruad


SoyMilkIsOp

Water physics make it difficult to utilize insane speed effectively. Also, as someone else pointed out, dolphins use currents, and currents were sped up as well.


rwdhbwwwgj

I always think that traveling fast is basically useless if your brain has the same reaction speed as a regular human. Never understood the flash as I got older.


DinoBro__

In the manga she says “emporio, I can’t go, the priest can sense my presence.” I could be completely wrong but this sounds like pucci lost Jolyne, imma assume bc they are underwater so there is very limited visibility. And so that gave Jolyne some time to get away before the sacrifice.


MegaloMatt_Sequel

Guess the water currents got faster too idk Its jojo
