DEATH BATTLE! Discussion Thread (2024–2025) (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

[Tipper17]

I hate how Twitter knows I like DB (well I hate Twitter in general but that’s not the point). Because of this I get tons of posts from accounts who do almost nothing except talk about death battle (I call them death battle influencers), and their takes are ******* abysmal a lot of the time.

I swear half of their “wanted matchups” lists are shared with other influencers because they’re always talking about supporting matchups that other influencers want because they’re friends. So it leads to this weird circlejerk of matchups only like 12 or so Twitter accounts want and children will simp for those matchups because the influencers like them.

Remember when nemesis Bloodryche made a video saying “stop parroting my opinions” as soon as megatron vs frieza got announced? More of them need to do this.

Tbh it's why I don't bother following any DB influencer or watch them because most of the time they saying shit others already been saying
The community be putting them too much on a pedestal instead of just looking at them as regular people

So like, could Yuji just punch Pochita out of Denji?

A bit related or unrelated, but I tend to unfollow or take less seriously the opinions about Death Battle from people who are friends with the Death Battle staff. I feel there's a conflict of interest with those people being their friends and all. (Also, they tend to have very similar opinions to each other)

Punch and use Soul Dismantles and Cleaves.

Physically yeah since Pochita is Denji's heart but since Iirc Hybrids don't have a soul connection to their devil Yuji's soul Dismantles and Cleaves alone probably wouldn't be able to split them.

If Makima with her ludicrous laundry list of abilities couldn't effectively do it (tbf she initially had little reason to do so), I doubt Yuji could, not that he needs to since he has other win-cons.

Punch and use Soul Dismantles and Cleaves.

^Casing point.


Tho equipment/summon interface seldom comes up in a DB animation I've notice like Link potentially stealing Cloud's Buster Sword, Mario collecting Sonic's rings, Ben hacking Hal's ring, etc. Snake Vs Sam is probably the biggest example of outside interference and equipment sabotage actually affecting the outcome of a battle, in most cases it's actually pretty uncommon on DB.

K, I wasn’t sure if it could’ve worked like it did with Megumi

They could still do it for the animation, they did a similar thing with Dragonborn vs Chosen Undead

Currently Pochita's power is at that of a primal devil's, so I wonder what value the team will give him if there's anything other than the Typhoon Devil

It’d be funny if like he does that and then ends up doing a domain expansion, just does it on a regular ass dude

Honestly I'm annoyed over how there was so many characters DB could've used back then but now are stuck in purgatory due to there popularity peaking back then/ lacking good mu nowadays
