Parallel World Diego (並行世界から来たディエゴ, Heikō Sekai kara Kita Diego), along with THE WORLD, was confirmed for All-Star Battle R as the fourth paid, playable DLC character on May 31, 2023,[1] and is slated for released on June 16, 2023.[2] Like the first three paid DLC characters, he is included inside the game's first Season Pass, and therefore also the Digital Deluxe Edition and Ultimate Edition.[1]
Carried on from Eyes of Heaven, Parallel Diego's name is localized as "Alternate World Diego" in the English localizations of All-Star Battle R, differing from what his Japanese name would suggest being translated as.
His moveset is similar to that of his Eyes of Heaven appearance, with modifications made and new aspects added to better fit him in with All-Star Battle R's different style of gameplay.
As the voice actor for Parallel World Diego, among other iterations of Dio Brando, since Eyes of Heaven, Takehito Koyasu reprises his role in All-Star Battle R as well. Like with the majority of the roster that have returning voice actors from Eyes of Heaven, voicelines for Parallel World Diego were added and re-recorded.
Parallel World Diego has 920 health and uses the both the Mounted (騎乗, Kijō) and Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Styles, fighting foes with Silver Bullet and THE WORLD. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Steel Ball Run. Unlike most other characters that use the Stand Battle Style, Parallel World Diego cannot manually summon and dismiss his Stand; instead, the Stand remains active as long as the user is dismounted, and appears instantaneously for any attacks that utilize it while the user is mounted.
Three parts of the Holy Corpse will slowly appear scattered across the stage when Parallel World Diego is a combatant. He can pick up these pieces to receive blessings that boost his performance in combat. If Parallel World Diego is pitted against Johnny Joestar, Gyro Zeppeli, Diego Brando, Funny Valentine, or another Parallel World Diego, both players will have to fight over the three Corpse Parts, as only one set will appear.
Parallel World Diego can summon his horse, Silver Bullet, to mount it, or dismount and send it away, shifting his movement and available abilities. Silver Bullet improves his basic mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. Parallel Diego's Guard Gauge will not recover while he is Mounted. If the Style input () is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Parallel Diego mounts Silver Bullet much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Parallel Diego's unmounted combo into a mounted one.
It's useless. I'll cut you down.

THE WORLD performs a downward chop.
Attack type: Middle

Attack type: High
THE WORLD!
+ (requires 1.5 stocks of HH) ON GROUND
If Parallel Diego has a minimum of one and a half stocks of the Heart Heat Gauge, he can use his signature Stand ability "THE WORLD!". If the activating three-second animation plays uninterrupted, Parallel Diego will stop time for 3.4 ~ 6.9 seconds depending on how much of the HHG he has. All animations, including the HHG flame and the countdown on the battle timer, will temporarily cease, and the opponent in frozen in place and completely unable to act. Damage dealt to the opponent that is not a Throw, HHA, or GHA is reduced, but the opponent is otherwise absolutely vulnerable. When the ability ends and time resumes, the opponent will suffer all damage dealt to them at once. Any knives thrown using "I'll skewer you!" hang in the air.
Parallel Diego may use his HHA or GHA with impunity if he has enough of the HHG left to do so. He is even capable of hitting opponents that were down when the ability was activated, 'resetting' them into a standing position once hit. The ability is best used with normal attacks in mind in order to deal the most damage within the stopped time, as they execute quickly and their damage reduction within stopped time is insubstantial.
If fighting against other Time Stop users, Parallel Diego can use this ability to move within the other fighter's stopped time, and may even outlast his opponent if their HHG runs out first.
Holy Corpse
// while near Corpse Part ON GROUND
Parallel Diego receives a new blessing for every Holy Corpse Part he holds, but if successfully knocked down, drops the part and loses said blessing.

The puddle of gasoline will disappear either after it hits an opponent or after a set period of time.

Parallel Diego can also be damaged by the explosion.

For the price of 1 bar of Heart Heat Gauge, Parallel Diego can increase his movement speed while also gaining Super Armor from the start of the animation of a normal attack until its active animation ends. While this effect is active, Parallel Diego will not gain any Heart Heat. This effect can also be prematurely ended if Parallel Diego switches into User Mode, performs the input again, or uses an HHA/GHA.
