Our German scientific power is the greeeeeeeeeeatest in the woooooooorld!![1] (我がドイツの科学力はアアアアアアアアア世界一ィィィイイイイ!!)
”
—Chapter 86: Light Mode Kars, Part 1
Rudol von Stroheim (ルドル・フォン・シュトロハイム, Rudoru fon Shutorohaimu) was one of the first characters confirmed to be playable in Eyes of Heaven alongside Jotaro Kujo, Joseph Joestar, Noriaki Kakyoin, Josuke Higashikata, and Diego Brando.
Stroheim has the exclusive Style fully named My body! It's the pride of the German people, and the prime example of our superior German Science! (ゲルマン民族の最高知能の結晶, Geruman Minzoku no Saikō Chinō no Keshō, lit. Fruits of the Germanic Peoples' Supreme Intelligence), shortened to The Prime Example of Superior German Science, where he can switch between using his heavy machine gun and ultraviolet lights.
As the voice actor for Stroheim in the Battle Tendency anime adaptation and All-Star Battle, Atsushi Imaruoka reprises his role in Eyes of Heaven with new recordings of voice lines.
Gameplay
Having not previously appearing in playable in All-Star Battle, Stroheim has an original moveset based on his appearance in Battle Tendency.
Heavy Machine Gun ModeUV Radiation Mode
Style/Specials/etc.
Style Action - Heavy Machine Gun Mode/UV Radiation Mode
Stroheim switches between his Abdominal Machine Gun and shoulder-mounted UV lights. Heavy Machine Gun Mode allows him long-ranged powers and increased speed and agility, while UV Radiation Mode makes use of two bodyguards and his various UV light components. All attacks involving his UV beams will deal increased damage to Vampires and Pillar Men, similar to Ripple Users. However, while in UV Radiation Mode, he loses movement speed and jump power, as well as the ability to grab onto and climb ledges.
German Science is the best in the world!
Stroheim stops to strike a pose and go on a very lengthy, ecstatic speech, boasting about his body and German Science. Though he is especially vulnerable while performing the skill, he gains a temporary attack boost with a duration proportional to how long his speech lasts before he's interrupted or cancels it with a Flash Cancel, maxing out at him completing it.
So long, you filthy Brit!
This skill can only be performed when Stroheim is down. He pulls out a Stielhandgranate and proceeds to hug it, resulting in a massive explosion. Though Stroheim takes roughly a third of a health bar in damage, any opponent caught will take half a health bar in damage. On the other hand, despite being on the floor, Stroheim is open to attacks during the skill that can interrupt him.
Heavy Machine Gun Mode
My bullets will cut you down one by one!
Stroheim fires a slew of heavy bullets from his Abdominal Machine Gun. Holding down the activation button will extend the attack, though will increase the cooldown on the ability when it ends.
- EX - My bullets will cut you down one by one!: The firing time of the skill is extended, and if Stroheim is on the ground, he is able to cancel it with a Sidestep.

UV Radiation Mode
Bodyguard Icon
Shows the statuses of Stroheim's two bodyguards. If an icon is glowing, that soldier is readily available; If it is dim, they are active and about the stage; If there is a red cross over the icon, that soldier has been incapacitated until Stroheim reactivates UV Radiation Mode.
My bodyguards will keep you busy!
Stroheim orders his soldiers to attack. If he is locked-on to a target, they will unleash their UV beams on that specific target. If he is not, they will face outward in triangle formation and unleash their UV beams in order to cover angles behind Stroheim's.
Ultraviolet Radiation Beam!
Stroheim fires his unblockable UV beam in a wide angle, setting opponent on fire. If his soldiers are available, they will also either attack a target if he is locked-on, or simply cover angles behind him if he is not.
- EX - Ultraviolet Radiation Beam!: Stroheim gains super armor through the attack, and damage dealt is increased.
Dual Heat Attacks
Dual Heat Attack - Put an end to you? I'd be delighted!
Starting in UV Radiation Mode, Stroheim and his bodyguards blind and seer their opponent with all three of their UV beams. While their target is stunned, Stroheim proceeds to switch over to Heavy Machine Gun Mode and launch an extended volley of bullets from his Abdominal Machine Gun before joyfully taunting his opponent.

Trivia
- In the Japanese release of Eyes of Heaven, Stroheim's default costume is his SS officer uniform. In the game's release outside of Japan this costume is removed from the game entirely and his default costume is changed to his cyborg appearance.
