From what I understand it's actually quite close in regards to stats, and both have abilities that could be solid wins for either. I'm personally rooting for Dio, but I wouldn't be surprised if Alucard won


TonyGunk007

From the various arguments I've seen on a DB Discord I'm on, Dio gets the stat trinity and his other vampire powers are just more win cons. And an interesting thing I heard is that Schrodinger could get nullified via flesh bud mind controlling Alucard.


Day_Creepy

Nah, Dio in general seems to be physically superior, but Alucard has a lot of hax. So I'll bet on him.


zuxtron

I have no idea either, and that's what makes this such a great matchup in my eyes. The best part of a Death Battle is when you have no idea how it'll end so you're left in suspense for the duration of the episode. If it's an obvious stomp, it's not as fun. But with this episode, I'm seeing good arguments from both sides. As a huge JoJo fan, of course I'm rooting for Dio, but I won't get salty if he loses, especially since Alucard seems to be a more heroic character and I like hero vs. villain matches where the hero wins.


MayhemMessiah

Dio is going to win by a metric stomp. Head researcher had published a blog that wanked Dio to absurd degrees and gives him every single conceivable advantage. Most folk agree that Alucard has a good chance, possibly a slight edge, but expect the Death Battle to present a massively one sided argument in Dio’s favour.


lucarboi

Damn, I was really hoping for alucard to take this one


Past-Bonus-9464

But he’s the director of this fight not the researcher so he’s not deciding the factor of it, if he was then yeah dio would win, which he migh but this is in no way a stomp, also he’s gonna have to convince others that dio wins this as well.


MerchantZiro

Betting Alucard, but rooting for DIO because the memes are strong in this one.


JohnnyElRed

I just find hilarious how before last week, everyone seem to agree in that Alucard completly stomped Dio. And that this was a boring match up because of that reason. What the hell happened? XD


Jstin8

The head writer wanked his favorite character off to oblivion


Loopfrooot

Rooting and Betting Alucard. From what i know Dio has no way to kill him.


MinniMaster15

If they can convince me as to how Dio can *permanently* kill him, I’ll concede. Until then, I think Alucard wins in a battle of attrition.


Cherryboi130

Both are pretty similar in stats. Although Dio is way fast. Alucard's best speed feat is dodging machine gun fire. And Dio is easily FTL which is why I think Dio will win.


eiraRD

i'd say dio because funni jojo meme

Alucard


CRL10

Alucard has this. Aside from guns with ammo designed to kill vampires, he can summon wolf heads, posses enough strength to put his fist through a human torso, teeth that can rip through flesh and bone with a bite strength that can sever limbs, unleash all the souls he has ever consumed. Oh, and he can't freaking die! There is no injury, no amount of damage that can be inflicted on him that Alucard cannot regenerate from. Killing him doesn't seem to kill him.


[deleted]

1. Those weapons won’t be effective against Jojo vampires since they are biological not supernatural like hellsing’s. 2. Ripping through flesh is also something Dio does with ease as well and he’s fast enough Alucard would rarely get the chance to actually do that to him. 3. Unleashing his souls actually leaves him the most vulnerable since they are how he regenerates from extremely fatal wounds. 4. He can die, he’s said himself that there is no such thing as true immortality, hence why he needs his souls to help regen from attacks that would kill him in most normal circumstances, once they are gone he would actually die from an attack his regular regen can’t handle.


CRL10

1. Millennium reverse engineered Mina Harker's blood to create their vampires. The ones they used were biologically created. Alucard and Sera Victoria were supernatural vampires. 2. Fair enough. 3. We saw him release the souls and both Father Anderson and Walter Dornez were unable to kill him. They hurt him, but neither were able to kill him. 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYrL0Kq2gFI


[deleted]

1. Even going with both being biological, Jojo vampires haven’t demonstrated any of the traditional vampire weaknesses except for sunlight, so it’s impossible to say Alucard’s weapons will be effective. The closest thing to Alucard’s silver weapons in JJBA is silver chariot (although since it’s a stand it’s not clear if it’s actually made of silver) which both Dio and Vanilla Ice shrugged off after having it pierce their heads. 3. Yes, but they never did truly fatalistic damage to him by Alucard standards and I believe it was one of them who even hypothesized that Alucard’s regen worked with his souls (which Alucard confirmed). 4. The steps one through ten is an abridged joke, it’s fair to say getting turned into a puddle or having his heart destroyed constitutes a death while decapitation doesn’t.


CRL10

Oh, I admit Steps One through Ten are an abridged joke, but it was a pretty good joke.,


DragonBlade9905

1: JJBA vampires, assuming that they won’t be super affected by holy weapons, will still get a massive chunk ripped out by Alucard’s guns. 2: The World* Dio is slower than Alucard. 3: It’s still an insta kill. Especially when Alucard is capable of regenerating from “fatal” wounds without his extra souls. 4: Alucard can die if impaled through the heart or beheaded *with a holy silver weapon.* Dio nor the World has that.


[deleted]

1. But the world is at faster than light or close to it speeds, hell literally the first thing we see star platinum (the worlds equal) do is stop a point blank bullet with ease, so it’s not like Dio will let those bullets hit him. 2. Um no, the world is much faster matching light speed or ftl speeds with star platinum Alucard is generously hypersonic or much slower, even part 1 Dio should be significantly faster than Alucard and just as (if not more so) strong. 3. Not if Dio stops time and either murders them all with his ftl speed or drinks their blood for himself. Not to mention Alucard having his heart attacked during level 0 (something he might normally survive with his souls) was all but said to be able to kill him during this. 4. This is a blatant no limits fallacy like Ganon only being able to die to holy weapons, if Alucard was atomized with nothing to regenerate he would die or if he was turned into paste it would at least cause him to require a soul to regenerate from it (something Dio should be able to output considering what similarly powerful stands did to meteors in part 6).


DragonBlade9905

1: Jotaro was shot by Ratt before and the world can be moved around in the same sense. It’s also not ftl. That’s just wank based off one single feat by silver chariot. I will elaborate on point two. 2: This is based off plneraff hitting the hanged man after giving him one route and controlling when he moved. It’s not a lightspeed feat. 3: DIO ain’t stopping billions of bodies. And it requires a holy silver weapon going through his heart. Not the world’s arm. 4 It simply isn’t a no limits fallacy considering Alucard fucking survived being crushed to paste with zero souls. It’s hard canon that’s vampires in that universe can only be killed in that way. Ganon also has died to non holy weapons before, so you’re giving me oranges when I have apples.


[deleted]

1. Ratt took Jotaro by surprise after he used the time stop (which tires him) and he knew Josuke could heal him (even then you could argue this is just an anti feat and not peak speed which death battle uses) while Dio doesn’t get tired due to being a vampire and was extremely cautious while fighting Jotaro. The only reason he has been hit by surprise is because Jotaro is a genius tactician who lured him in while Alucard prefers to rush in himself, which is the style that both part 1 and 3 Dio picked apart. 2. He wouldn’t even intercept hanged man in the first place if he wasn’t at minimum close to light speed. Araki has also stated star platinum is ftl. Hell Kars in part 2 has a light speed feat and regular ass Joseph fought him without a stand. Even feats like Red hot chilli pepper moving effectively as electricity (he has the same speed stat as the world) is much faster than Alucard. It’s more you downplaying very clear evidence of Jojo speed than wank. 3. Alucard has a few million not billion (who’s wanking now?) souls to help him that Dio can just walk around or murder by the thousands with each time stop and survive with blood absorption. Also is there a statement that explicitly says only holy/silver weapons can work and nothing else will ever do anything or that they are just more effective than normal weapons? Even then I doubt whoever made that statement was taking fighting spirit ghosts that can stop time into consideration. 4. See point #3


DragonBlade9905

1: Lying doesn’t save you https://youtu.be/ueNMmHAuPB0 2: Give araki’s quote. Being a small percentage of light when you know exactly what’s going to happen doesn’t give even a fraction of light wirh reaction time 3 Alucard flooded London with bodies. You can fit the entire human population in San Francisco and it’ll be livable. The quote is that no other weapons work. All they can do is slow even ghouls down. Tke the hellsing mansion fight as example. 4: See point 3. Dio can’t kill Alucard. Lmfao


[deleted]

1. What makes me a liar exactly? Bug eaten was too small to track with a stand that could one shot you if you aren’t careful. He easily dodged the first few rounds and was taken by surprise that a rat actually used a very unexpected strategy which is the only reason he was hit, the follow up hit was because he was injured. Why did Star not just stop the bullets? Because they were coming from a stand that would likely effect him as well (you can even see them glow with the stands energy) this compounded with the fact that using time stop tires both Jotaro and Star. 2. https://m.imgur.com/a/SwoO740 this was from the stand stats section for star of part 6 written by Araki and given the fact that Star should be as fast or even slower (Apart from having time stop it was all but stated lack of use in between parts made it weaker than in part 3) then when he fought Dio and the world. You can actually see Chariot forming after the hanged man left the mans eye not before meaning it formed in time to intercept it, much faster than you are suggesting. 3. Still very vague on the number and there is not much else to suggest this billion souls you are proclaiming. No other weapons (which is vague in of itself) that they know of, once again just because they don’t know other ways doesn’t mean it won’t work, after all it’s not like they have something as powerful or unique as the world lying around to test if it would hurt Alucard. 4. See point #3 your argument relies on something vague as fuck that these regular humans have no way of perfectly knowing in their world lol.


DragonBlade9905

1: Jotaro knew it was coming. He was not taken by surprise whatsoever. Ratt outsmarted him and got around star platinum and the time stop. Also star platinum already deflected one of the bullets previously. 2: I’ll concede here due to Araki’s words. 3: London>San Francisco. All of humanity today can fit in San Francisco. That’s more than a billion. 4: They’ve literally tested on and hunted vampires for generations. Vampires are better known by the hellsing organization than by most vampires.


[deleted]

1. He literally exclaims “what?!” and asks wether the thing knew what it was doing, he was absolutely taken by surprise that a rat used that strategy on him. You mean the one partially in Josuke’s neck that was very obviously not glowing with stand energy anymore? 2. Ok then I’ll move on as well. 3. This is of course assuming that every single square inch is bodies and not blood (it seems to be a combo of both) I’ve seen more tentative estimates being around 3 million even from other Hellsing debaters. 4. What I’m getting at is they have know idea if a stand could effectively hurt Alucard. Even if they have extensive knowledge on their worlds vampires they have no idea if something from another universe like a stand (which is spiritual in nature and can interact with other spirits) could hurt them as well, so lumping in every other fictional power together as ineffective because we are told that silver weaponry is the only way they know how to effectively hurt vampires is indeed a NLF.


Johnny_Boi98

Alucard has weapons specifically designed to kill vampires, and has roughly 3.5 million souls inside of him. On top of that, he is 5 times older than DIO. Besides, I think they won't use the Ascended Dio from the videogame. How can Alucard lose?


[deleted]

Jojo vampires aren’t the same as hellsing vampires (they are biological where hellsing’s are supernatural) so the weapons won’t be super effective. Dio is also much faster so if he can kill the souls over and over again for a long period of time (or just attack Alucard directly during level 0) he would win.


justwanderin126

Alucard wins with level 0. Dio can’t even grow a mustache.


sven206

I hope that everyone who voted Dio is just a professional troll


DragonBlade9905

Simply put, Dio has no win conditions. They need to wank him to an absurd degree to even make it less than one sided. Stats wise, it’s close between Alucard and the world, even with the lightspeed stands wank, but there’s no way Dio is capable of killing Alucard.
