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

OPM fans must've pissed off someone in the industry for this shit
Shame OPM was lightning in a bottle but between the declining animation and the blatant padding alongside the webcomic and manga being two different continuities with a very inconsistent release schedule plus hiatuses well... the future isn't looking bright.

If there's any consolation, fans likely don't have to suffer PNG Cosmic Garou Vs Saitama since the anime is going the non-canon (pre-redraw) route, kinda like Tokyo Ghoul S2 (still oof... tho).

Do the Webcomic follows a different storyline from the manga?

Don't forget Murata's redraws. I mean, all the respect to the man for his art skills, but I honeslty find that decision very baffling. Like, I could understand he went through various drafts and changed things before releasing the chapters. But deciding to redo stuff after the chapters are released not only takes away from the reader's hands an already delivered product, it makes people having to wait needlessly to see how the story will pan out. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be.

I will always be confused on why they didn’t just follow the monster association arc one to one from the web comic. Cosmic Garou was such a mistake.

Listen, Cosmic Garou may have been an awful decision that completely missed the point of his character and final fight with Saitama from the webcomic but uh...

He gave us hype moments and aura I guess?
 
They never finished the early version, they would have to write original content for that version of Garou ending, unless they go full webcomic lol

“ Do you have good writing? ”

“ We have aura and hype moments.”

I been stated cosmic garou was a mistake not only story wise but mu wise given how utterly fractured garou mu been due to this

And regarding the story it felt like Murata wanted the DBZ spectacle soon instead of saving it for the near the end of OPM but could've still gotten it with monster instead of forcing cosmic where monster garou is right there

Well at least it was a temporary thing which was reversed, also not something he could access by himself, so technically wasnt affecting much on his MU unless you wanna include it

I... get this feeling as well. Kinda like that while ONE wants to make a funny story that parodies superhero and action manga elements, while having its share of action, Murata just wants to make an "amazing" straight up action series. Dunno, playing up god as this super evil ultimate villiain mastermind behind everything, using Blast a lot more to build up a sort of nemesis relationship, a much higher use of melodrama and all. I feel like he bought on the hype of Saitama's power and used his, honestly, frigawesome art, to build one spectacular set piece after another to go for... being blunt about it: hype and aura. You get some pretty outlandish stuff, like the whole thing with Void, who IIRC whose introduction was a gag, but Murata made up a whole tragic backstory, more ties to Blast, threw in the multiverse and hyperspace just to give him over the top spectacular abilities, another fight sequence with Blast's also over the top powers and all. It's a feast for scalers and those for the hype, but I dunno, feels all over the place, especially since then Saitama just jobs the guy with the usual gag.

Not to mention it got redrawn, so even them got that rug pull.
 
Do you even agree with the scaling for both

Skne of the feats to scale Zod were wacky
Zod scaling is wacky and Earth Wars and JPG1 scaling doesn't work because Sentinel never shows up in the former and Sentinel is barely relevant in the latter, generally speaking Zod annihilates.

Thematic wise, this isn't that bad tho ngl.
 
You think DA leaving might kill Death Battle?
Lol no
If torrian leaving didn't kill em, DA leaving won't either
It's definitely gotta be a heavy blow to some MUs, isn't it?
Def there's some he def would've done wonders for that suited him

Yeah I don't get why there keen on scaling him up the Flashes who best feats are at there peaks are>Zod and World forger that has context and needed a Clark sun dipping like crazy
