"The might of my armyyy! Taste it yourseeeeeelf! (我が軍のカーッ!その身で味わえイイイーーーーッ!)"

Rudol von Stroheim (ルドル・フォン・シュトロハイム) was officially announced as the second playable DLC character for on January 19, 2023, and was released for all to play on February 3. Like the rest of the paid DLC, he is included inside the game's season pass, and therefore the Digital Deluxe Edition as well; and holders of either gained early access to the character on February 1, 2023.

Unlike, Stroheim's design is the same in both Western and Japanese versions of the game, with any otherwise direct mention of Nazis and explicit Nazi imagery being altered or removed. This includes his Style being Best Science in the World, rather than Nazi Science or even German Science.

Having voiced Stroheim since the Battle Tendency anime adaptation, Atsushi Imaruoka reprises his role in this game as well. Like with the majority of the roster that have returning voice actors from Eyes of Heaven, voicelines for Stroheim were added and re-recorded.

Gameplay
Stroheim has 1000 health and uses the unique Best Science in the World (世界一の科学力) Battle Style, being the only playable character to do so. As he appears in his cyborg form for All-Star Battle R, Stroheim uses various moves of his from Battle Tendency.

Dialogue
Outside of the All-Star Battle Mode, Rudol von Stroheim has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.

Due to the availability of certain voice actors, some of these interactions re-use existing dialogue for Stroheim's opponents. In this case, only and  have new dialogue - Joseph because the voice actor returned for his character's "Your next line is..." interaction; Risotto due to both characters being DLC released close to each other.
