Not really, at least not yet, I think. If you're up against someone who has timestop....Well, the best React can do is probably increase your regeneration so that you don't get fucking slaughtered straight up. Of course, that would require there being someone with the power to stop time.
Then again, with the nature of the setting of this quest, that's wouldn't be too far out.
But not anytime soon or on the same level as DIO. Maybe a second of limited time-stop.

Traits
Peak Human: You are someone whose body has reached the utmost limits of human ability. Your strength, speed and durability are equal and perhaps greater than even Olympic-level athletes. It wouldn't be wrong to say that you were superhuman.
Intellectual: You're not an idiot, far from it in fact. As you honed your body, you have also sharpened your mind. Your intelligence is such that you have kept your position as the number one student in all your school's exams for the last several years.
Blood Knight: Despite what you say and do, deep down you are always yearning for a fight, and you will never back down from ever being challenged. If someone wants to fight, they'll get one eventually.
Face of a Thug: Regardless of what you wear, at best you look like a delinquent, and at worst a member of the yakuza. You are also frequently thought to be older than you really are.
Power
??? Shard - React (Rank 1): In response to an immediate threat, you will gain physical enhancements based on what you believe in needed to overcome said threat. These enhancements are temporary, lasting for either five minutes or until the threat is resolved, whichever comes first. If the five-minute limit is reached, react will not reactivate for the threat that activated it in the first place.

Your alarm clock wakes you up. A rarity since you usually awaken before the alarm goes off. However, last night's events kept you awake as you tried to figure out what was happening to you. What was that crystal? What was that entity? What was this power that you could still feel within you? Just what was happening to you?
No answer came forth and you slept uneasily. As usual, you perform your morning routine. When you return, you find your mother awake and preparing breakfast.
"Good morning Taka-chan!" Your mother greets you cheerfully as she skillfully chops up the ingredients for both breakfast and lunch. Before she got a job as a hostess, she used to work at a small eatery as the cook before the owner fell into debt from gambling and had to close down the place. "Breakfast will be ready in five minutes!"
Waiting at the table, your thoughts turned once more to the incident last night. It had seemed like a scene from one of those fantasy stories. However, this was reality and you really did meet some clay statue thing that wanted to kill you. Before coming back inside, you check the garbage area. There were no signs of the broken statue despite you leaving the pieces in a pile near the trash cans after you'd cleaned up the place.
You glance at your fist and clench, remember how you had broken the clay doll thing. It had been hard, far harder than you thought clay would be. If it weren't for this strange power within you giving you more strength and toughening your body, your fists would have broken long before you could have shattered the clay thing. However, you feel that this wasn't going to be the last time you'll face a clay statue monster thing.
Your phone vibrates and you check to find a message from Tetsuya. He's apparently found out where the mystery bending machine is but wants you to come with him because he doesn't want to go alone.
You reply that you'll think about and decide later. With the message sent, you put away your phone as your mother arrives with Breakfast.
"And breakfast is served!"
Breakfast is thankfully a more cheerful affair with your mother regaling you on interesting things that had occurred during her work. With a homemade lunch made with love, you leave for school with your mother's blessing.
On the bus, you receive yet another message on your phone. It's from Dana, your boss at the gamer bar MOHGRA. She has errands to run and she doesn't want to ruin her usual worker's day off so she wants you to come instead to watch the place and handle customers while she's gone.
Like with Tetsuya, you reply that you'll think about and decide later.
On the way to school, you find yourself walking side by side one of your more familiar acquaintances.
"Good morning Shinzo-kun!" Motoko Nagamori greets you when she saw you coming. "How are you today?"
Motoko was the daughter of the president of the Nagamori Toy Company. You've known her since first year - mostly because you were seated next to each other. The two of you didn't really get to know each other until about a fortnight later. While most had been afraid to even attempt to get near you, Motoko hadn't shown a hint of fear when she abruptly said that the alterations on your middle school gakuran were very well done. This was before you got a Maxwell Academy uniform.
From there, the two of you began to talk and learn a bit about each other - stuff like what were your favourite food, your favourite shows, when were your birthdays, and other bits o. You eventually learnt that Motoko's dream was to be a fashion designer and create her own line of brand name clothing. Unfortunately, her mother caught wind of your existence and had told Motoko not to associate with you as well as forced Motoko to switch to a different class. This was after the whole debacle with the Yakuza's son.
Still, Motoko still went out of her way to see you every now and then and you were kinda happy even if you were concerned that she might get in trouble with her mother for doing so.
As with all previous "chance" meetings, the two of you take the opportunity to catch up on what's been happening in your lives.
Motoko's grandmother recently had their sixtieth birthday and there was a huge formal party at some hotel. It had been pretty boring for Motoko since she was forced to greet all the guests and play nice with several young men that her mother not-so-subtly suggested would make a good husband. More importantly though, one of Motoko's outfits won some prize. She was one step closer to her dream, good job girl!
On your end, you talk about how your studies been going, how you were jumped by a couple of punks trying to make a name for themselves while heading home late one night, and your dinner with Hidetora yesterday.
As the two of you near the school's entrance, Motoko suddenly makes a request.
"Shinzo-kun. There's something I would like your help with." This is the first time that Motoko has ever asked for your help. You inquire to what it is that she needs help with. And she hesitantly answers you. "It's...something to do with my best friend and...Oh never mind. You don't have to do it. It's just that it would be nice to….er…have you around when I go see her this afternoon."
You immediately guess what Motoko wants. Something's up with her friend and she would like Devil Takagi to come provide some muscles off the records. She doesn't want to get her family involved and wants to keep this private. She also trusts you enough to let you in on whatever's going on. You've seen Motoko's best friend a number of times - one Sakura Avalon or something. You've never talked to each other before so you know nothing save for small meaningless tidbits that Motoko let slip during your talks.
Do you go and help Motoko out with her problem this afternoon?
[ ] Yes, you'll go help Motoko out with her problem. It shouldn't be too difficult if you're just there to be muscle. (Sprite Route)
[ ] No, Tetsuya asked you first so you're gonna go see what the deal is with this vending machine of his. (Coin Route)
[ ] No, you have some part-time work at MOHGRA today and you need the money. Plus Dana has been good to you and pays well.(Shard Route)
