The mistakes of the past can serve as a learning experience. For every mistake we make, we learn from it and adapt, reflecting on what we did wrong to make sure it will never happen again. Though the mistakes we’ve made in the past may tear us down, we can learn from them and build ourselves back up, becoming better people in the process.
But what would happen if you committed a sin so great that it cost people their lives? How would you respond? Do you allow yourself to give into despair and wallow in your own guilt, or would you try to repent in whatever way you can, wiping away your past in order to forge a new path? With today’s combatants, it’s clear that they would rather walk a new path, discarding their previous identities to atone for their past sins.
Hakumen, the Hero of the Dark War!
And Darth Vader, the Dark Lord of the Sith!
Before getting into the analysis for both characters, I would like to note that I decided to try something different by having this prelude be text only. With that out of the way, I’m Br3ndan5, and it’s my job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a DEATH BATTLE!

Going with the majority here in regards of Darth being the winner for everything already said

Darth Vader stomps. No joke.
As I’ve mentioned over the discord chat, Large Planet Level BlazBlue is bunk, since Izanami only stated that she could replicate the 10^31-joule explosion itself, not the aftermath of the seithr destroying the moon, meaning BlazBlue caps at Small Planet Level in terms of AP. And Hakumen ONLY scales to that at his absolute strongest (100% Hakumen), since Rachel stated that Hakumen at his FULL STRENGTH would actually STRUGGLE against Izanami. Otherwise, he’s Country Level normally (20% Hakumen), meaning Vader would easily oneshot him either way.
Vader also blitzes Hakumen to hell and back. FTL vs 6% lightspeed is a massive difference.
Hakumen does have his advantages, like being able to stave off Vader’s mindhax due to his time in the Boundary, as well as being immune to the force choke due to not needing air to breathe. Also, he has hax that can bypass durability, like Ookami’s Nox Nyctores properties and, well, Time Killer. However, Vader is just so much faster that he’d obliterate Hakumen before the latter even moves.
Plus, having resistance to mindhax and organ crushing doesn’t really mean much. Vader can still crush the Susano’o Unit itself like a tin can, blast Hakumen away or pull him towards effective range with his force techniques, as well as just kill Hakumen in one casual blow thanks to his far superior power.
Hakumen was forced to watch his time come to an end.

Thanks for the prediction, and would you mind showing me Rachel’s statement about how Hakumen would struggle against Izanami?

“Even if Hakumen were to engage her at his full power… I think he would have a hard time of it.”
Also, I think it should be worth mentioning that Hakumen didn’t really do anything significant to Mu-12 in their fight at the end of CS. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz9qbguTK8I at 14:58 onwards)

Hakumen is a formidable foe and given his superior strength and skill that’s almost equal to Vader, he would have him matched. However, Vader easily wins the speed advantage and with his many abilities with the force, he’s given many options to do away with Hakumen. Vader arguably should have a good experience advantage over Hakumen along with his lightsaber being much more powerful than that of Hakumen’s blade.
It would be a tough fight but in the end, Hakumen FORCED Vader’s hand!
THE WINNER IS DARTH VADER!

I can see Hakumen taking this in a close fight. Vadar has versatility advantage thanks to the power of the force, a better power source than Hakumen’s Magatama, and could hurt Hakumen by bypassing durability. Hakumen should resist any of Vadar’s mind based thanks to being in the boundary for a very long time, and resist many of his haxes due to what he faced in Blazblue. He also has the experience advantage due being way older than Vadar due to being over 100s year old. He should be able to “tank” some lightsaber attacks from Vadar due to taking hits that also bypass durability. With his power, Hakumen can one shot Vadar no problem. With the right amount of resistance/durability, power and experience, Vadar end is come!

Your welcome. I would add to the fact that he can also bypass Vadar’s durability thanks his blade can scar the soul as well. Also he doesn’t have a giant weak point on his body, unlike Vadar.

Hakumen’s tough, but Vader should have an upper hand in general.
Large Planet level BlazBlue doesn’t help against a severe disadvantage in speed that is coupled with a minute power edge. Hakumen could oneshot Anakin via his power alone and his superior close quarters combat would enable these chances to be capitalized. However, Vader’s MUCH faster influx of speed (light speed > 6% of light speed) nullifies this by being able to easily dodge, the force can nullify certain attacks and push the white swordsman away, and the lightsaber is a consistently OP weapon that should be able to OHKO Ragna’s hunter with ease. Considering the control and precise accuracy Anakin has had before with the force, and Vader’s with a huge advantage.
Unlimited Mode would help, but it doesn’t negate the speed disadvantage nor would it stop the lightsaber and force being able to OHKO the swordsman without a hassle. And seeing how Hakumen has few, if any, options for long range, it puts him at a severe disadvantage.
While a Hakumen win is understandable, a Darth Vader win will be DUN DUN DUN DUNDUNDUN DUNDUNDUUUUNNNN!
