Hello! I'm not british although I have a fascination for learning about neurodegenerative diseases and I've got to say I feel like most people don't really talk about them, despite how severe the issue is.

Most people are talking about cancer and whatnot, and whilst they are indeed a huge issue, I feel like a lot more research should go to identifying the causes behind dementias and how they work, they deserve to have more awareness raised about them.

Did you know roughly a million people in Britain have dementia? With Alzheimer's disease representing 60-80% of cases. Currently, there are thousands of people as we speak affected by the terminal stages of dementias, in which the patient is bed ridden, completely lacks motor coordination to the point they can't move, can't think and can't talk either. At that point, all one can do is wait for the point where they aren't even able to eat, which is why people die from it.

Dementias are *all*, progressive, terminal diseases. There is no such thing as living with dementia, only dying with dementia, because all dementia patients will eventually be in a vegetative state where they are immobile and barely even conscious.

I'm not an expert, but it seems dementia is not deeply understood scientifically either. Correct me if I'm wrong but most of our understanding about dementia is about Alzheimer's, and we mostly know about the byproducts of it, such as amyloid plaques and neurofibrially tangles. We can't know for sure what's causing the buildup, nor if their buildup is what is actually killing the neurons.

We don't know which specific biological process causes it, either. We only know it's genetic and risk factor related and the genetic factor is only the cause for certain types of dementia, which is wild.

If this disease is the leading cause of death for brits, I think more people should know about its full extent, at least, and that we should focus even more on research about it. It's a huge health issue, but we don't even know the exact cause and tons of important details, and that's just crazy to me.

Dire is meant to be #8 instead of #7.

Hey there folks. I wanted to rank all hamon users - but not based on their feats or how much I fw them, but instead based on skill and experience according to the lore. I took into account training time and personality when making these rankings.

Additionally, I thought I'd include Kars but it's basically cheating. He can literally manipulate hamon to his liking, that's hax not skill.

Share your thoughts!!

**DISCLAIMER:** This is just my opinion based on how I interpret the facts about Cream. It's just harmless powerscaling, feel free to share your opinion but don't treat this post as if I am killing someone.

It might seem silly to think that a part three minor villain can beat everyone in the series, but you will get why it makes senss first.

One thing people often forget about Vanilla Ice is that whilst he is inside his stand, Cream, he goes to an alternate dimension, meaning, he **literally doesn't exist** in the real world. And the ball of void doesn't exist, either, as it's literally just void that erases anything. Just literal empty space.

We also forget that the ball of void is not even visible. We only see it because Polnareff was using sand to track his movements.

On top of that, Vanilla Ice is also an immortal vampire, meaning the only way to kill him is with hamon, the sun, or crushing his brain. No normal attacks will ever be able to kill him.

So, in summary, Vanilla Ice, when inside Cream is completely intangible and invisible. How overpowered can that be?

Before I explain each battle, I must clarify their conditions. It will take place in an empty, enclosed arena, and neither of the opponents know who the enemy is or their abilities. The battle will, of course, happen at night.

We will be discarding Dio Brando (pt.1), for obvious reasons, a measly normal vampire is powerless before Vanilla Icem

### MATCH 1: VANILLA ICE vs. ULTIMATE KARS

This battle could actually be very easy for Vanilla Ice. Since Ultimate Kars can't see stands and would probably take a few seconds to figure out what is a stand, and probably wouldn't be able to figure out where Vanilla Ice went before he dies - both things are stuff Kars has never seen before, can you imagine comprehending something that is literally impossible by everything you know? It's like a retail worker trying to comprehend the concept of a 4th spatial dimension.

You might think Kars can do something to protect himself but not really, the ball of void doesn't have any limitations to what it can erase, as soon as it touches Kars, he's gone, baby, off of the face of the earth.

The only way I see Kars winning is by somehow figuring it out about the ball of void, tracking its movement and killing Vanilla Ice with concentrated hamon the moment he has to peek out. Though, what are the odds Kars jumps to the conclusion Vanilla Ice became an invisible ball that can destroy everything in their very first confrontatio

### MATCH 2: VANILLA ICE vs. DIO

Vice would never fight DIO. However, since in this scenario, they don't know each other, there's nothing much to say here, DIO gets erased before he can figure out what even happened. Even if he dodges the ball of void, he will likely not one shot Vanilla Ice because he doesn't know Vice is a vampire.

Assuming DIO timestops right after Vice disappears, what is that going to do? The void remains invisible, that's IF an entity outside of time even respects the rules of time and doesn't just move during timestop.

### MATCH 3: VANILLA ICE vs. KIRA (BITES THE DUST)

Kira... Dies? Assuming he can somehow use BTD (which already disrespects how the ability works), have fun reverting time for an entity that doesn't even exist in our dimension, thus not being affected by the time of our dimension. It just doesn't work.

### MATCH 4: VANILLA ICE vs. GIORNO (GOLDEN EXPERIENCE REQUIEM)

Even though Ger has the ability to revert any attack that happens to him, it is unclear what would happen if he tries to revert something that... Isn't even on his own realm? You can't really make nothing be before nothing, because nothing was never something else, nothing is just, nothing. The ball of void is not even Cream, it's just... Nothing.

Although I do assume GER breaks all fucking rules and would be able to somehow bring Vice out of another dimension, so, there's that. But logically, I don't know how GER could win besides getting attacked by Vice when he's out of the void dimension, and, why would Vice do that? GER can't even kill Vice with physical attacks anyways, thus not triggering the desth loop.

*I'm going to just skip Pucci and Funny Valentine as this is very long and I'd like to sleep soon.*

READ THE COMMENT FOR VICE VS TOORU

TL;DR: Vanilla Ice can solo the strongest characters in jojos if they don't figure his ability out and Vanilla Ice is the first to strike.

One of the biggest icks I have about part 3 is how it just make sense that Jotaro was supposed to lose. Jotaro, a 17 year old with only 50 days of experience with actual life threatening battles, manages to beat an immortal 121 year old vampire with much more experience (and let's not forget DIO is also academic and really smart, we forget DIO has a law degree, for example) in nearly everything. And he did that with knife stab wounds, three broken ribs from The World's wryyy barrage AND being crushed by a road roller and pulling out a way to escape that doesn't make sense at all, especially considering DIO could move until the 11th second mark.

If not for fate (and Araki), Jotaro realistically would have lost. How do you envision a sort of Polnareff last stand episode where he desperately tries to face DIO, with all of his friends dead?
