>>120009645>Taken by surpriseHard to surprise a guy when he’s guarded by something capable of moving faster than you can blink, DB uses characters at their peak, so I see no reason why the World with lightspeed would not be the assumption, far beyond the speed Alucard has done, to put this into context, assuming a Mach 100 Alucard, a second of the time for Alucard, is maybe 2 hours for the World’s reaction time, 2 hours to react to any move, even with long range, things do not change that much, it’s again, just a snail moving towards you, to the point I very much doubt he would need time stop at all with such a sheer speed difference, even if Dio weren’t to take a threat seriously (which is a poor interpretation as he had a cop shoot Jotaro), Stands can act independently with their own regard for life, no reason for it to let their guard down in a Death Battle and it would be on alert, not to mention the World can clearly close differences, although not as explicit in the anime, it’s made clearer in the manga the flying Jotaro and Dio do is more their Stands just jumping good , for the most part, Dio has control of the fight, there is no reason for him not to move the fight, and with the World striking, far faster than anything Alucard has dealt with, it’s more likely Alucard will not be able to even think before forced to regenerate, in the time Alucard attacked, the World will have have the chance to attack over 8000 times, there is little to no opportunities for Alucard to attack or get a strike in and too many for he World to not take advantage of, especially since they calced the Star Platinum’s force at 3 million tons
