Dio Brando VS Ansem is a What-If? episode of Death Battle.
Description[]
JoJo's Bizzare Adventure VS Kingdom Hearts! Two incarnations of pure evil with a phantom defense meet in a battle to the death!
Interlude[]
(Begin Invader:- Jim Johnston)
Blade: Incarnations. Different forms of one person with kindred spirits and similar power.
Lion: Or in these two's special cases, a FUCKING DEFENSIVE BACKBONE GHOST!
Blade: Dio Brando, the villainous time-stopping vampire.
Lion: Or Ansem, the heartless hunter of darkness. I'm Lion and that's my friend Blade.
Blade: And it's our job to analyze their weapon, armor and skills, to settle the winner of a DEATH BATTLE.
Dio Brando[]
(Begin Dio Battle:- JoJo Eyes of Heaven OST)
Blade: The son of drunkard thief Dario Brando, Dio Brando was always destined for great things. Off his intelligence, he was able to secure great grades and was on the road to his successful life ahead.
Lion: But, like every drunk father figure, something had to be done about Dario, so Dio poisoned him and was adopted by the Joestars, where he met his half-brother Jonathan, who would eventually go on to be his first enemy.
Blade: After their first fight, Jonathan found out about and began researching the Stone Mask. Dio's interest and greed took over him and he ended up being turned into a vampire seeking world domination with an army of the dead. This eventually lead to a fight between him and Jonathan, and, though Dio appeared to be defeated, he took Jonathan's body and resurfaced after a century to eliminate the remaining Joestar bloodline. Under the name DIO, he sought it out.
(Begin Weakling, weakling!)
Lion: With the ability to wield a stand, otherwise known as The World, or better known as ZA WARUDO, DIO, now also accustomed to Jonathan's body, set out for vengeance and world domination for the second time.
Blade: And this time, he had the power to do it. ZA WARUDO, being a Stand, is invisible to the human eye and fights by delivering attacks faster than light in the form of punches and kicks, and has the ability to stop time for a few seconds, which also helps considering DIO resists time-stopping.
Lion: DIO additionally has the ability to suck blood through his arms. Don't ask me how that works, but don't look now because he has other weapons like throwing knives, ice manipulation, regeneration, flight, mind control, zombie morphing and flesh manipulation. And no one can ever forget-
Dio: MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA-
Blade: That.
(Begin DIO's World)
Lion: DIO is one strong motherfucker. Superhuman strength and speed aside, because this is anime, he has to have his fair share of weird feats. Like being able to casually lift steamrollers, which weigh upto 50 tons!
Blade: And that's just scratching the surface. DIO is strong enough to fight Star Platinum with the help of The World, and Star Platinum can move at the speed of light and inhale a fog that covered an entire town.
Lion: He's even be able to tank hits from Star Platinum and the like and even top it with The World!
Blade: Despite everything he has, DIO has his weaknesses. He may be intelligent, but that doesn't prevent him being arrogant. Additionally, anyone that can also time stop can ignore DIO's time stop, and The World can go upto only 10 metres before losing power.
Lion: To top it off, DIO can be defeated in sunlight, because he's a vampire. Hey, he's got the power of MUDA either way.
Blade: Well, that means useless, but-
"Even if you train in the ripple, it's useless! Useless, useless, USELESS USELESS USELESS USELESSUSELESSUSELESS USELESS! Could a monkey fight a man?"
Ansem[]
(Begin Sacred Moon)
Lion: Sometimes, you may get ambitious, and sometimes it goes too far. Too much knowledge is a dangerous thing. This was the case of a small research lab in Hollow Bastion, the kingdom in a world once known as Radiant Garden, but that was a long time ago.
Blade: The research was about finding the key to the light and the dark of a human heart and all things were going well. The leader of all this research, Ansem, had several reports written and everything was going the right way, until his apprentice known as Xehanort talked to him about deeper research and a plan he'd himself formed, which caused Ansem to instantly say no and tell him to leave.
Lion: Right afterwards there was a big mistake, things went kablooie, and Ansem was presumed dead while Xehanort had survived in two pieces. One, a nobody known as Xemnas, and the other, the identity-robbing Heartless known as Ansem, the man that walks through the dark.
(Begin Forze Del Male)
Blade: Ansem began to carry the old plans he'd made on his own, starting by obliterating worlds and awakening more Heartless into an army, and all while slowly moving ahead bit by bit.
Lion: He even has a personal Heartless JoJo stand to help him! Holy shit, a fucking JoJo's Bizzare Adventure reference! This Heartless, known as Xehanort's guardian, is a defensive being invincible to most attacks, and can also fight by himself by manipulating darkness, even though Ansem mainly uses him as a guardian to defend himself when someone attacks him with something. Additionally, it can possess things and let its keeper form dark barriers to attack, as well as dark shockwaves and intangibility!
Blade: Ansem himself doesn't just float there either. He is also able to manipulate the darkness and summon armies of Heartless to aid him. He even has the ability to fuse with the Guardian to form a weird cocoon-like state and launch giant balls of darkness and create waves to blow his enemies away! He even has the ability to steal hearts!
Lion: Hell, he even possesses people sometimes like Riku! Geez, that's creepy. I wonder if Blade is possessed by Ansem, I mean, he IS kind of a cheesy jerk-
Blade: Shut it. Ansem has the ability to corrupt things to the point of destroying worlds, and can also summon the Darkside, a giant Heartless that also fights by firing off balls of darkness and punching things. And the Darkside can summon even smaller Heartless known as Shadows. These tiny incarnations of darkness scratch their opponents and dash into them, and also have the ability to merge into shadow and travel around invincible.
Lion: Shadows additionally have a special breed known as the Neoshadows, more humanoid shadows that travel faster and deal more damage. Other variations include Gigas and Mega Shadows. Ansem additionally has the ability to summon another Heartless known as the Darkball, a weird dark balloon thing that bites anything it looks at. Kinda like a personal guard dog and even a flying Darkside known as the Dark Follower. Next up are the Invisible, weird vanishing Heartless that fight with swords and float around, a strange camouflaging spider thing known as Dark Thorn, which comes from the Shadow Stalker, an imprisoned Darkball, a very powerful X-Ray viewing tiger thing known as Dark Hide, bell-things that can heal others, shoot fire, use lightning, and freeze things, spiny soldier dudes, the Defender a weird-looking knight known with a shield that has a dog's head, soldiers, pirates that have flying ships, and even a dark copy of Sora that functions just like him! There's also two fatasses known as the Large Body and the Fat Bandit that basically slam things and breathe fire and even sword-wielding pirates, ghosts and mummies! Let's not forget that Anti-Sora has cloning ability!
Blade: There's two types of Heartless, Pureblood and Emblem. Though Ansem appears to be an Emblem, looking at the mark on his chest and its position, and the fact that the mark disappears in his later forms, as well as the fact that Ansem summons mainly pureblood Heartless, he's definitely pureblood.
Lion: Yup, and that can be backed up by the fact that Ansem isn't artificially made, and a literal Heartless of a regular person, making him pureblood. Additionally he doesn't appear to have any magic aside the darkness, which is the mark of purebloods. Yup, he's a pureblood. That aside, easily the strongest pureblood too.
(Begin Destiny's Force)
Blade: Though we won't include his OTHER fusion with the Guardian due to that potentially requiring preparation, I'll admit Ansem is very strong. He's been able to bust multiple planets with his army of Heartless and pure darkness.
Lion: He's been able to take on Sora, someone that moves at speeds beyond light, as well as defeated multiple planet busters and even one person that takes on another dude that moves around the constellations! Hell, this is something!
Blade: Ansem is very powerful for sure, but that doesn't mean he's not arrogant. Ansem tends to be very arrogant during a fight and will attempt to grasp a heart on sight. Though his goals get in his way, however, Ansem is regardless a true incarnation of darkness.
"Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came. You see, darkness is the heart's true essence."
Death Battle[]
Blade: Alright the fighters are set, let's settle this once and for all.
Lion: It's time for a weird ghost guard DEATH BATTLE!
EtERnal dArkNESS...
diSTORtioN...
a BAnishMeNt
Ansem, even now swirling through the darkness. Questions on his mind, where was he? What was that light? What was going on? Had Kingdom Hearts really failed him? He wasn't very sure. He stared around. The dark essence that made his arm was there even now, so...
"This world... I sense a strange disturbance... So this is my eternal banishment. Distortion everywhere?"
Ansem began to look around. Something was moving near him. Something fast. Something dark.
Nope- it wasn't just something. It was someone. The man landed right in front of Ansem. He stepped forward and laughed.
"I never thought another person would appear here, here in my new hideaway! I thought it was full of strange beasts and nothing else! But it looks-"
He pointed a finger at Ansem.
(Begin DIO Battle:- Stardust Crusaders)
"I was wrong. I can tell I'll have fun with you. While it lasts! I already know what this'll lead to, and I have no intention to fall here. Unless you are somehow able to show me different, maggot. But, again, I know that this will be interesting!"
He was Dio Brando, and he was clearly asking for a fight. As he walked forward, Ansem was able to call forth the Guardian as he himself rose into the air, facing Dio.
"A challenge? Well then, just wait..."
Ansem smirked.
"As I drown your light of arrogance in the darkness, scum!"
FIGHT![]
DIO dashed forward at the same time as Ansem, the two meeting in an elbow lock. Backing off, Ansem unleashed light blades and launched them at DIO, entangling him as they spun. Ansem shot forward and rose into the air, diving down to deal more damage. DIO was knocked into the ground at this. Ansem shot back and began to charge up an attack. DIO took this opportunity to stop time, dashing forward and letting lose-
"ZA WARUDO!"
DIO unleashed a powerful combo with The World, punching at the stopped Ansem, dealing big chunks of damage, while he yelled-
"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!"
Time returned to normal, as Ansem was knocked back. The World shot forward, helping loudly as he delivered two more kicks and landed back on the ground to charge up another kick. Ansem let out a low chuckle as he fired off two orbs of darkness, both erupting on either side of The World as he jumped up, and dashed back then and there, preventing The World to land the attack on him. Ansem edged forward.
"Guardian!"
The Guardian showed up before Ansem as he began to charge up a blast of darkness. DIO jumped up and began punching the Guardian with the help of The World.
"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA-"
BOOM!
(Begin Guardando Nel Buio)
The darkness erupted, distorting the area, which left DIO floating in an empty square of air, as Ansem engulfed himself in the darkness, rushing through DIO several times, finishing with a dark ball. Ansem dashed ahead one more time, but DIO stopped time there and shot forwards, as knives rained down upon Ansem thrown by DIO. Ansem was stormed by knives, but it didn't make a difference.
"Worthless fool. Submit to the darkness!"
Ansem began firing off blades of energy everywhere, pelting DIO and The World, and afterwards shot into the air and grabbed DIO by his head, loading darkness into it and delivering a flurry of kicks, before making the Guardian shock him with darkness. Ansem disappeared as DIO recovered.
"You say you're invisible, invincible, but in my face you're a monkey fighting a man!"
He stopped time and found Ansem, delivering attack after attack like before. Ansem was shot back, as DIO flew up and let his Stand do some work, before attacking in sync.
"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!"
Ansem was knocked back, as DIO shot up. He attempted to kick, but Ansem dodged the attack.
"Submit to darkness!"
Dark waves erupted from the ground, as DIO was knocked back and forth. He fell down just in time as Ansem raised one hand into the air.
"The final blow!"
DIO was shot forwards as a wave of dark thunder sent him flying into a wall. Ansem was getting near him. His guardian grabbed DIO and disappeared into a black flame, but DIO recovered in time. He dodged what would've been the killing blow before soaring up and grabbing a steamroller that was conveniently hovering nearby. He hurled it at Ansem, dashing forwards to finish the job. But before he could move a muscle, something grabbed him from behind!
Ansem's Guardian had destroyed not only ZA WARUDO, but was now grabbing DIO by his shoulders! DIO looked down to spot that the steamroller had been ripped in half by Anti-Sora, as Ansem himself soared up. DIO began struggling, which led to his arms getting grasped with even more power by the Guardian. Ansem raised up one finger, and everything turned dark. The darkness lit up to only show DIO. DIO wasn't trying to break free, he was trying to destroy the Guardian! But before he was able to move, fires of darkness appeared and pelted him, as the Guardian ripped his arms off. He floated half-unconscious as Ansem appeared before him.
"Time to take another heart."
Ansem instantly held on to DIO's head, creating darkness inside it until it couldn't take anymore, melting DIO away into nothingness.
K.O.![]
(Begin Forze Del Male)
Ansem absorbs what's left of DIO, forming a new breed of Heartless similar to The World.
Lion: Now THAT'S crazy! Gimme more!
Blade: Both are very formidable fighters at their own level, but Ansem edges out in almost everything possible.
Lion: Yup. He's got the speed to tag Sora, the guy that casually runs around much faster than the speed of light, and though DIO does the same thing with his Stand and in reaction speed, that doesn't instantly make him faster, if he's even on Ansem's level.
Blade: DIO was also outclassed in strength and durability by a big margin here. He takes on people with Stands that can absorb town-leveling fogs. On the other hand, Ansem has run around breaking apart planets and battling guys that can keep up with other guys that can move stars and constellations.
Lion: Only even worse for DIO when you find out how his arrogance affects him here. Ansem is about on the same level of intelligence, but nowhere near as cocky, which is a good thing because arrogance makes a big downfall even bigger. Additionally, as shown in the games, it is impossible to permanently destroy Ansem's Guardian, or even deal any damage to him, which means DIO was even more screwed.
Blade: Even bringing time stop spam into the question, DIO would exhaust himself trying to do anything to Ansem whatsoever since he'd be a fly ramming into a wall, which means he's open for attack, and that's all the invitation needed for Ansem to clobber him.
Lion: Looks like DIO gets to reunite with his family and his guardian Dario now, huh?
Blade: The winner is Ansem.
Next Time on DEATH BATTLE![]
(Begin Gaara's Theme)
A wave of sand passes the screen, revealing the sand ninja underneath. Gaara is then shown in a battle with Shino in Storm 4, battling Kimimaro and using Sand Burial, battling Rock Lee, blocking his attacks, and finally battling Rasa in Storm 3. Afterwards, the screen turns dark, as a wave of sand forms Gaara's model, as well as his name beside it.
