RUDOL VON STROHEIM, ABOUT HIS CYBORG

BODY.

Rudol von Stroheim (ルドル・フォン・シュト

ロハイム , Rudoru fon Shutorohaimu) is a core
ally in Battle Tendency.

Stroheim is introduced as a Nazi o!cer

researching and experimenting on the Pillar Man
Santana. Eventually, he and his unit cooperate
with the Ripple users to stop the threat of the
Pillar Men.

Appearance

Stroheim is a tall, well-built man of masculine

facial features (comparable to those of the
contemporary Dolph Lundgren).

Blue-eyed; at his introduction his blonde hair

involves a short flat-top and a length at his
neck; soon developing into tall, splaying cut.
Later, he acquires complex metallic cybernetic
prosthetics, including the section of his face
surrounding his right eye; which is additionally
covered by a sort of monocle.

He wears a range of o!cial Nazi military attire.

His cyborg prosthetics include his entire
abdomen, which houses a powerful machine
gun.

Personality

When Stroheim is first introduced, he is a callous

and cruel Nazi Major who has the foolish idea to
experiment with the Stone Mask in order to
further the power of the Wa"en-SS. During his
mission in Mexico, Stroheim commits several
heinous misdeeds such as capturing locals and
forcibly turn them into guinea pigs for his
vampire experiments (including women and
children),[3] or threatening to cut a maid's
tongue for slightly cutting him during a shave.[4]

However, upon being threatened with Santana's

rampage, he also demonstrates bravery and
does not hesitate when trapped in asking
Joseph to cut o" his leg; or blow himself up with
a grenade to kill the invading Santana.[5] This is
seen once again when Stroheim gives him a
helping hand in defeating Kars and helping
Joseph drive him into the volcano with an
airplane. Stroheim maintained his bravery up
until the Battle of Stalingrad, 1943, where he is
said to have fought bravely and died.[6]

Likewise, Stroheim respects courage from

others, no matter what ethnicity the individual
may belong to. His appreciation for valor is seen
when he spares one Mexican boy for being
willing to sacrifice himself for his cellmates; on
the other hand he executed the rest of the
prisoners for not having the same spirit, making
the boy's sacrifice moot.[7]

Stroheim is an enthusiastic nationalist. He is

particularly proud of his cyborg body; praising
"German science" and generally loudly boasting
the Germans given the occasion.[8] His pride
occasionally grows into overconfidence and
arrogance. Because of it, Stroheim tends to both
overestimate himself or his technology and
underestimate how formidable the Pillar Men
are. Thus, three times during the story, a Pillar
Man gets the better of him; first Santana easily
escapes his cell and attacks him,[9] then his
cyborg body is also defeated by Kars[10] and
finally Stroheim rushing to finish Kars in the
battle of the Piz Bernina Ruins allows the Pillar
Man to return the UV light against the humans
and turn into the Ultimate Lifeform.[11] On a
regular basis, Stroheim also loudly laughs at his
foes and point his finger at them when they are
in a position of weakness.

Abilities

Weapons

Abdominal Machine Gun: A machine gun

inside Stroheim's stomach region, able to
shoot 600 armored bullets per minute, and
capable of piercing a 30-millimeter steel
plate. Stroheim first introduces this weapon
against Kars.
Ultraviolet Radiation Beam (紫外線照射装
置, Shigaisen shōsha sōchi): Inside
Stroheim's mechanized eye is a small laser
cannon capable of firing a concentrated
beam of Ultraviolet light. The beam itself is
five times more intense than a set of typical
ultraviolet lights and was able to pierce
straight through Kars' hand.
Ultraviolet Shoulder Cannons: Built by
the technical department of the
Speedwagon Foundation specifically as an
anti-vampire device, Stroheim is able to fire
out powerful blasts of ultraviolet light from
two flood lights located on each side of his
shoulders. As miniaturized searchlights,
they pack the same power as the original,
but are light enough to carry with ease.
Stroheim used these cannons during the
final battle against Kars, where he, along
with his team, fought back against the army
of vampires.
Projectile Hand: Stroheim is capable of
firing o" his mechanical hand with enough
force to impale and deeply wound an
enemy. Though revealed only towards the
end of the arc, Stroheim used it to prevent
Kars' escape and pinned him to a plane that
went crashing into an active volcano.
Profile

As a Major in the Nazi Party, most particularly

the Wa"en-SS Military division, Stroheim is
capable of leading his own battalion, as well as
any members of the party of lower rank. To this
end, Stroheim enforces his rank with a strong
sense of pride and most of time, his word is law.
As a capable leader, Stroheim often initiates
attacks upon command, though the logic
behind them usually varies depending on the
level of abnormality of the enemy. When
cornered, Stroheim's eminent pride in his
country will cause him to unquestionably
sacrifice himself to take out his target. In terms
of combat expertise, it is presumed he is
capable of performing the most basic of military
skills with ease, including assembling and
disassembling military weapons, and making
e!cient use of said weapons. Stroheim also
flaunts a very able-bodied physique and has
demonstrated a very high jumping ability.

As a cyborg, Stroheim can casually crush a golf ball

After being resurrected as a Cyborg, Stroheim's

physical capabilities increased and with it his
rank to Colonel status. As a Cyborg, his strength
increases significantly, having been designed
with the ability to crush an object with his hand
at a pressure of 1,950 kg/cm2 (roughly double
Santana's.) In this form, Stroheim had also
gained partial immortality, being able to survive
most attacks, as his mechanical limbs being
damaged lessens the e"ect on his lifeforce. With
these limbs, he is capable of bending his body
unnaturally, and deflect enemy attacks due to
being made of metal. Situated on one side of
Stroheim's face is a magnifying device that
allows Stroheim to zoom in on objects up to a
point where he can study their internal
structure.

History

Battle Tendency

Stroheim takes an injured Robert E. O.

Speedwagon to the Nazi base in Mexico and
interrogates him for information regarding the
Pillar Men. He reveals that the Nazis had
acquired one of them, which he named
"Santana" after the warm winds of Mexico.

Stroheim eventually sacrifices himself in an

attempt to stop Santana's rampage and is
assumed to have died until he reappears at the
border of Switzerland to retrieve the Red Stone
of Aja.

Stroheim as a Cyborg

Thanks to Nazi science, Colonel Stroheim was

revived with cybernetic parts (including a
machine gun on his chest and a monocle that
presumably serves as a Terminator/Robocop-
esque radar system). He challenges Kars to a
duel and is quickly cut in half, but is ultimately
able to separate Kars from the stone by firing a
ultraviolet beam from his eye.

Stroheim appears yet again after being

reconstructed with the help of the Speedwagon
Foundation science division and

Stroheim saves Joseph

saves Joseph from Kars' impending vampire

army just in the nick of time. Kars is defeated by
Joseph soon after and is sent falling onto a
spikes below, where Stroheim and his division
blast him with ultraviolet light. They fail to
realize, however, that Kars had donned a Stone
Mask with the Aja and are dumbstruck when he
achieves his ultimate form and begins killing
them o" with a squirrel formed from his right
hand.
After Joseph hijacks a Nazi aircraft to lure Kars
away, Stroheim reveals himself in the side wing
of the plane just before it goes plummeting into
an active volcano. After pinning Kars to the front
end of the aircraft, he pulls Joseph out of the
plane and cushions their fall by sacrificing his
cybernetic legs. The volcano eventually erupts
when Kars' Ripple collides with the Red Stone of
Aja, launching both Joseph and him into the air.
Stroheim eventually returns to the rest of the
group and reports Joseph's supposed death.

After the battle with Kars, Stroheim had Joseph

Joestar's severed left hand replaced by a
mechanical one as a gift. He never meets
Joseph again and is said to have died honorably
at the battle of Stalingrad in 1943.
