Why would that be the case? RTZ reverses the action to zero, it doesn't prevent the action from affection Giorno.
Let's say that you are alongside Giorno and I throw a building at you both. GER should return my action of picking up and throwing the building to 0 and thus, leaving both of you unscathed. It reverses the action to 0 to nullify the effect, it doesn't just nullify the effect directly and call it a day.
I don't remember Pucci's nonsense at the end very well but here's what Chat GPT gave me
GER only nullifies actions that are actively targeting Giorno or his victory. Made in Heaven reset the entire universe, not Giorno specifically — it was a passive, universal effect. Since Pucci didn’t aim it at Giorno and Giorno wasn’t present, GER didn’t treat it as a direct threat, so it didn’t activate.
Basically: no intent, no trigger — no "Revert to Zero
."."
So if you destroy a random city where Giorno lives without the intention to kill him then do you succeed or not?
Yes, you could succeed — if Giorno isn't directly threatened and GER doesn't perceive the action as targeting him or his "victory."
But here's the catch:
GER has some level of "will" or awareness — it reacts to anything that endangers Giorno or his goals, even indirectly.
So, if destroying the city would put Giorno in danger, GER could still nullify the action — even if you didn’t intend to harm him.
In short:
No threat to Giorno or his success = GER might do nothing
Any danger to Giorno = GER likely kicks in and resets the action
GER protects Giorno’s state of victory, not just his physical body. It's like an auto-judge of intent and consequence.
