Talk:Alucard (Hellsing) VS Dio Brando/@comment-28862119-20160630002502/@comment-28862119-20160630023911

I agree that if both were given non-canon feats it would be fair. Unfortunately, Alucards only non-canon feats come from the original anime, and that show lowballed him to the extreme.

In regards to re-writing powers, the question actually becomes exceedingly complex, as there are three issues to determine. First, does HA DIO have to understand the mechanics behind powers to change them, or can he simply change them. Second, when changing powers, does the power changed into need to be equivalent to the power lost? If so, then being an infinite quantum impossibility, would a cahnge in ability state lead to level of powers close to DIO. Third, does what happens to 'Alucard' actually affect him? If, for example, we depower one Alucard, does that carry over to all quantum possibilities. At this point its just a thought exercise.

Bottom line is that Alucard is pretty broken in terms of death matches, and usually just ends up waiting out the clock. That being said, a better opponent that would really push DIO without being as unkillable as Alucard would be D from Vampire Hunter D.Dude is totes OP in the novels. I'm planning to d three death battles myself, using combinations of D, Abel Nightroad, and Alucard (though the only one that comes close to killing Alucard in that is D).
