DEATH BATTLE! Discussion Thread (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

Double standards if you ask me
Lol, reminds me when they did Trunks vs Silver. They didn't want to use their main canon counterparts because it would have been too stompy in Trunks favor, so they used Heroes Trunks and Archie Silver. Then in a cast, Q&A or something, they were laughing at how Heroes Trunks vs Archie Silver was one of their most one sided matches ever.

Not my favourite for both, but a really fun match up.

I'd say Thawne solidly wins most of the time since time travel is kinda like, Ultron's kryptonite. But things get more complicated once you factor in Odinforce Ultron.
I miss Ultron's Odinforce key, that shit was heat. The matchup itself would be one of DB's most insane matchups though if they allowed full composite for both.
 

I don't think they understand what the "Big 3" actually is. The Big 3 is really only a thing in the West because One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto all happened to be doing really well at the same time. It's basically just marketing, and it only applied to a specific point in time, so replacing one series with another doesn't really work.
 
Is the Naruto series still as successful? Of course, we all know the impact the original anime and Shippuden had on the world, but is it still as successful, and/or is the new Boruto manga considerably popular?

Given that those 3 also were grouped together by virtue of being the big series that really blew up in the 2000s, leaving their mark in that generation and onwards, it wouldn't really be fair or even fitting to compare a recent ongoing series. IMO, if anything, Demon Slayer would be better with its own badge alongside newer successful Shonen of the recent times, like I dunno MHA and JJK or something.

The big 3 was also acknowledged in Japan so no it was actually a thing there as well not just the west
 
It's a harmless story, with a straightforward conflict, but easy to like and root for characters, lots of drama and heroism against villains that are clearly bad but not without some tragic angle. It makes for a pretty good introductory anime and one to simply enjoy, if you ask me. It doesn't have big pretensions as a story and does well what it focuses on, being the conflict, struggle and victory of the heroic Demon Slayers against the stronger and evil demons.

Tanjiro, ironically, despite being your typicial good hearted hero, is a rather bit of fresh air nowadays where antihero and screw up protags abound and coming off the heels of the generation of Naruto and Luffy, the passionate and determined airheads with a big dream and the like.

Giving credit where it's due, the Ufotable anime adaptation is incredible. Regardless of your opinion on the manga, you have to appreciate the audiovisual work that went there and how much of delight it's to watch.
 
Demon Slayer isn't bad, but it wouldn't be as popular as it is without it's animation. I don't think that's a specific knock against it, as I think both CSM and JJk also fall under that category. I definitely think they would've found success in their own niche, but I don't see them being as huge. OPM and MHA I'd say have better chances of still being big without their animation, although I question OPM at times lol.
 
While we’re on the subject of Demon Slayer…


Technically urinating on someone is assault, and that's in addition to the indecent exposure charge. The cinema might be able to charge for the clean-up if they like too. It's not impossible to sue someone for damaging clothes or damaging electronics with "water", either.

Guy might get sued by some people.
