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

[TMaakkonen]

Honestly feels like they are just annoyed that DBZ fans are complaining so they just make fun of them due to that.

Ofc pot calls the kettle, so Nemesis has no rights to complain about Apocalypse beating Adam or FriezaMegatron existing lol

Its always easy to laugh at others when the MU that gets shit research is not the one you care about.

 

[The_Axiom_of_Virgo]

I feel like a lot of Death Battle fans take everything they say to be the only true answer/interpretation, and that any argument against the show's verdict is cope lol

Another case of people believing the largest/loudest community is the most correct, lowest common denominator indeed (applies to way too many facets both in and out of debating).

I’m not even a Dragonball fan and I think it’s horseshit

Maybe a lot of the core community losing interest in debates/who wins matchups had more negative effects than I and others anticipated.

Shin Godzilla: massive text wall about his adaptive evolution and how he can turn into a universe given enough time (a fake artbook translation said this lol)

Shin Ultraman: spacium ray

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Does Eva Unit 1 work with Shin Ultraman? Cause I know Hideki Anno worked on both?

Evangelion is HEAVILY inspired by Ultraman. It’s where the crosses come from. Tsuburaya was a catholic and put Christian symbolism in the showa Ultraman series’, including multiple ultras getting crucified. Anno is a huge Ultraman fan so he used that imagery but admittedly without the actual religious meaning.

Gonna probably die repeating myself, but...

Easiest slam dunk in history. All the calcs were already done, all the arguments already debated, basically everything was perfectly aligned for an accurate Death Battle that would be their triumphant return and get a lot of good will.

And they fumbled.

H O W

Except Dragon Ball fans have a legit gripe unlike before considering the horseshit that surround this episode

Except for all the white knights that doesnt matter. They do not care if there are valid complaints. If fans are annoying, they will make fun of them.

Someone just gave me more reason to become an Ultrachad.

Which is why the term shills and cultist exist for a reason
Which is funny considering majority even in the discord disagree

 

[Bigdongus]

It’s why the spacium ray has Ultraman make a cross shape with his hands.

But yeah, when you get down to it an Eva is basically a lobotomized ultra with a suit of metal.

Also Ultraman would kick an Eva’s ass.

So my friend was right that Eva vs Ultraman makes sense. Ultraman is the real media Christian Chuds should be consuming at this point.

I’m still shocked Evangelion has never been used in the show. I’d love to see shinji or asuka or whomever react to the fact that whatever they’re fighting is not an angel nor does it have an AT field.

Because even if though they will stand on the hill of powerscaling, they know bullshit when they see it

Yeah I remember hearing that, but didn’t Anno work on an Ultraman project himself? I was just wondering for this specific MU I mentioned

 

[Lukewoesal007]

Regardless of how the fight turns out, I think Joker vs Giorno (and any other Persona vs JoJo concepts) is a legitimately terrible idea for a match up because there is absolutely zero synergy between eithers' kits and fighting styles, and the connections between Stands and Personas were always nominal at best. I don't doubt the capabilities of the animators to make the fight look decent, but trying to choreograph and storyboard the thing is going to be an uphill battle the entire time.

Shin Ultraman is part of the same “universe” as shin Godzilla but it’s directed by someone else.

POV you’ve never experienced any bit of any of either series

They have the same director, the difference is that Anno directed Shin Godzilla along Higuchi.

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

Tbh I kinda don’t like Evangelion, but his other works are okay, I’m just not too familiar with all the stuff he’s worked on

 

[Joycap]

Tbh I kinda don’t like Evangelion

Same here

 

[Deidalius]

Evangelion is one of those series I've seen people recommend a lot and act very pretentious about it. Is it actually good? Giant robots might be cool, I was a transformers fan as a kid.

And here comes the rebuilds with a steel chair

Genuinely curious what type of chemistry you think Joker and Giorno's abilities would actually share in a fight because I cannot, for the life of me, think of any unique interactions between Golden Experience and any one of Joker's Personas.

Rebuilds are good

10$ we're getting the:

"What kinda stand/persona is that?" - Giorno/Ren

when they inevitably clash.

 

[Lukewoesal007]

It's entirely fair to disagree with what I have to say about it. I am being a hater. I just don't think you should try to mock me, when you can't even make an argument against what I'm saying.

 

[Bigdongus]

It’s good, just not as good as people make it out to be. The themes are psychological with the religious stuff being set dressing. I’d personally give it an 8/10, really good but not the end all be all anime some say it is.

I’ll say that I disagree HEAVILY with Josh and that the rebuilds are shit and make Evangelion into a incredibly cliche anime.

They’re not robots

 

[Lukewoesal007]

10$ we're getting the:

I'm almost convinced that's the only unique interaction at all because they used that exact same trope in the Yu vs Jotaro DBX.

 

[DRW001]

Genuinely curious what type of chemistry you think Joker and Giorno's abilities would actually share in a fight because I cannot, for the life of me, think of any unique interactions between Golden Experience and any one of Joker's Personas.

I think there are a few they could try:

• Questioning each other's stand/persona
• Joker using Arahabaki (or any other persona that reflects phys) and Giorno using his animals to reflect damage on each other
• Comment on how they each of them heals from damage, with Joker using media spells and Giorno creating and replacing body parts

And if you really want to stretch it, maybe show how Giorno using Gold Experience to accelerate Joker's senses can perhaps effect his cognition in a way? Gold Experience's age manip could maybe inflict enervation on Joker as well???

The guy who did the SB calc for the sundisk posted a google doc going over it in more detail. Definitely worth a read.

There verdict here is definitely flimsy to say the least, an whilst we know they ain't oblidged it would still be nice if they could at the least provide a QnA blog of the episode that'd least give us an insightful understanding as to how they came to that conclusion (not like it'd automatically change everyone's minds).

Even with a matchup like Dio vs Alucard, the QnA blog for that was very insightful and gave a more deeper explaination.
