Sorry Tanjiro but this is one demon of the night you will not overcome.

 

[SharkBait]

Tanjiro easily, the roster of demons he's defeated makes him well experienced to handle alucard.

As much as I do like the underdog - theres literally nothing Tanjiro can do to harm Alucard

There was nothing he could do before Alucard gained Schrödinger's powers (and even less that he can do [if it were possible to do less than nothing] afterwards)

Unlike Tanjiro, however, Alucard has innumerable ways to deal damage

• He's far stronger
• Far faster (he's also quite literally everywhere at the same time [including in places that aren't of the 'physical' world - such as in your mind])
• Far more durable (with Schrödinger's powers he's impossible to kill [not that it would've even been possible for Tanjiro to harm, let alone kill, him before])
• Far less 'mortal' (he exists so long as he knows who he is - and even when he didn't know that, he still did kinda exist anyway... Then, after he 'found himself' again, there was no doubt that he existed again [yeah, that part was a bit odd])
• He has magic
• He has guns...

And that's all barely scratching the surface...

I mean, unlike the Misaka 'fight', there's no way I can even conceive of a victory condition that would give even the slightest possibility for Tanjiro to win this

I really hope Alucard comes up against Cadis Etrama Di Raizel but yeah... poor Tanjiro.

i'm thinking you've never seen Hellsing ultimate. Alucard would obliterate everything in the Demon slayer universe while taking a nap lol

Ive heard of Alucard, but sadly didnt watch Hellsing (dont hurt me).
From some reddit forums, ive seen this sentence many times; "he is everywhere and he is nowhere".
What the actual hell does that even mean lol.
Can a Hellsing expert clarify this for me?

He's omnipresent because he consumed something that granted him this kind of power.

Basically he could consume the entire Demon Slayer characters and get everything the know/have. Powers, knowledge, everything.

The character by all intents and purpose is effectively immortal. His nemesis in manga/anime OVA series struggled to fight against him. He and his henchman scientist came up with the idea to defeat Alucard via a Physics paradox. During major war events or mass casualties (death primarily) if Alucard is around he would absorb the blood and the souls of the dead. Powering himself up as well and trapping them to be used later at his whim. The Physics paradox is Schrodinger cat. He killed himself (the cat) and got absorbed into Alucard.

The paradox oversimplified is, there is a cat inside a closed box. If you do not open the box you don't know if the cat is alive or dead, so until you can open to determine which state the is in, it both alive and dead at the once. The long and short of it, is the paradox was suppose to remove him from existence. It worked for awhile, but he eventually came back after 30 years after absorbing the cat and gaining the ability to be everywhere and nowhere at once. The fandom interpreted it to be him gaining omnipresence.

 

[LadyVados]

Tanjiro is outclassed

 

[Arjuna]

Tanjiro is highly outmatched.

 

[Seven777]

Cutting off the head won't do it i'm afraid. Tanjirou doesn't really have a shot

 

[XXGenesis]

Tanjiro doesn’t stand a chance. Heavily overpowered quite easily

gaining the ability to be everywhere and nowhere at once. The fandom interpreted it to be him gaining omnipresence.

Dunno how it's possible to interpret that any way else tbh
Not sure this is easily chalked up to a 'fanboy bias'
(Not that I'm sure you were, considering the rest of your post...)


For those who haven't read Hellsing/watched Ultimate, here's an example of Schrödinger using his powers (the ones Alucard now has) to appear inside someone's head (as in: in their mind)

 

[Demonspeed]

We all know Alucard would love Tanjirou . They could become good friends.

How good is Tanjirou at the violin?

He probably never saw one .

Could be that he now exists outside the rules of our reality. Being a paradox, neither alive or dead. Nowhere and everywhere. More a loosey goosey state than something like Omnipresence.

EDIT: Bruh I didn't even remember that scene. Man I haven't watch Hellsing Ultimate from start to finish in such a long time. Now that I think about it, when Alucard shot the cat the first time. He survives but did he regen from the injury or just not die, since he's neither alive or dead. He just is.

It's loosely goosey, but still sounds like a chicken Tanjiro has no chance of choking

His state of existence is pretty confusing - and it's gonna make any discussion about 'killing' him/causing him to cease to be rather a mind-fuck

As I said before, I'm still not quite sure how he 'existed' when he 'didn't' (as in, when his Schrödinger powers couldn't recognise themselves and so made the being known as Alucard cease to be) - to be able to kill all the souls inside himself, to find himself, when he was 'nothing'...

All I know is that he did - and that it'll make his next fight(s?) rather interesting
... and, in all likelihood, interestingly subjective

Now that I think about it, when Alucard shot the cat the first time. He survives but did he regen from the injury or just not die, since he's neither alive or dead. He just is.

Honestly, I reckon that 'he just is' is probably the best answer you will get to questions like this

If Tanjiro wins this, I'm not following the tourney to the end. That would mean this is just another popularity poll, and people didn't even consider the fight itself.

Alucard wins before he has even time to blink. Tanjiro has nothing that could even hit him.
