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

Actually, wikipedia is confused here, it's only Islam. The text he comes from, The Apocalypse of Peter, is considered a pseudopigraph by Christianity, and is therefore not canon.
Actually, that quote is from Wiktionary, as evidenced by the links in there.
IDK if Wikipedia says the same thing.

But okay. Thank you for the clarification.
 
im still kinda baffled we never got dumbledore vs Gandalf during the 2010-2014 period. its one of those weird legacy classic matches that feels like something that would have popped up in season 1
What is it with DB seemingly refusing to do these legacy matchups because of some inane reason and then suddenly going "well we missed the chance to do it". My brother in christ, you're the ones who chose to wait this long. It happened with Cole vs Alex and unless it's the unknown 4th matchup, it looks like they're gonna do it again with Luz vs Anne.

At least KratoSura is happening

Pretty sure Harry Potter is ****** due to JK Rowling mess now :V

So what are the next "waited too long" MUs?

Most of the crew are kinda out of touch millennials.
 
I don't even remember if anyone in that fight actually got anything that lets them scale even remotely well, hell Tien fought a guy and practically lost and needed Chiaotzu to win the fight for him
Yamcha bested Moro fodder minions
Krillin bested that amped panda fodder
But yeah really the only good scaling Krillin got was in the manga version of superhero where he cracked one of Cell Max Wings
 
Looking around, yeah Death Battle rarely uses characters from more recent times.

Last fight to actually have 2 characters that were semi-new was Gojo v Makima with both being about 6 years old rn, most combatants are either from long running franchises that just happen to be new (Dimitri), only include one character that's relatively new (Black Clover isn't as old as the 10 year old MHA franchise), or both fighters are just from media decades ago
 
Here is list of characters that debuted after DB in 2010 December:
  • Yang
  • Carolina
  • Tracer
  • Shovel Knight
  • Widowmaker
  • Weiss
  • Mob
  • Tatsumaki
  • All Might
  • Genos
  • Gray
  • Esdeath
  • Beerus
  • Shoto Todoroki
  • Spider-Gwen
  • Broly
  • Ryuko
  • Blake
  • Steven Universe
  • Star Butterfly
  • Goku Black
  • Korra
  • Jinx
  • Tanjiro
  • Excalibur
  • John Wick
  • Deku
  • Asta
  • Dimitri
  • Gojo
  • Makima
  • Rick
  • Joker
These are the "modern" characters in DB. Asura will join here soon too.

Well, I'll admit it's a bit worse than I remember.

Krillin's flying after Piccolo, when one of Saganbo's group grabs his leg. The dude's huge, but his attacks are sharp. He starts bouncing around like Cannonbolt, and nearly kills Mr. Satan, then slams him through the ground, from the lookout to the rocks on the surface. Before they can keep it up, their fight's interrupted, and they fly away. He joins the fight against 7-3, gets blocked, and has his Ki sucked, and while the group are drained, 2 guys jump down and start beating them up. Piccolo talks about Goku and Vegeta, and the enemies decide to fall back and wait a few months so everyone can power up.

The whole group was elected as top-tier combatants amongst the Galactic Patrol, with others working under them, 3 ships of people with each group. There's a whole sequence of a group taking off after Yamcha. He's confused, and they go "we're here to help, Agent Yamcha!", so he responds with "Great! Follow me!"

Krillin and Roshi drop in on that Cannonbolt guy from before and 3 women with dope-ass haircuts. Krillin asks Roshi to help, and he literally says "Nah, I wanna go beat women. Awoooo-ga!"

Krillin takes a sucker-punch to the eye, gets knocked into a house, then starts brawling with the guy.

Yamcha's casually fighting 3 criminals, and declares himself one of the 3 strongest Earthlings. They rush him, he gets serious, then he throws three attacks at once, and all of them drop.

Krillin's opponent rolls through his Kienzan barrage and hits him repeatedly. Krillin pulls the attacks back, and one cuts the guy, but he dodges the following barrage, and they hit Krillin, who turns out to just be an afterimage. The real Krillin takes him out with a Kamehameha.

Meanwhile, Roshi's attempting to sexually assault his opponents as usual, and he's getting beaten, which is deserved. Krillin tells him to use his focused state, and he says he's not focused for some reason.

Tien and Chiaotzu are fighting a metal man, who is immune to their attacks. When people tell them he's a Metal Man, which they didn't know for some reason, they start talking shit. Tien calls him a rockhead, but that's actually a compliment for a guy with a head harder than rock. He calls him a half-ton ******, but he weighs 1,000 tons. Chiaotzu then talks so much shit the guy passes out.

Roshi blindfolds himself and starts piecing the enemy up and saying normal, cool shit, but the three of them fuse together, and start beating up him and Krillin.

Yamcha's getting decked by his current enemy, but Tien and Chiaotzu show up. They also get decked.

Krillin and Roshi are hiding, but Krillin has a plan. He powers up as much as he can, and Goku oneshots the fusion, teleports to the other 3, and oneshots their enemy.


Basically, they performed fairly well, but nothing special, except Krillin and Roshi, who were doing great, though Roshi's personality taints the performance.
 
TBF, the ring feat specifies that it needs to defeat an enemy in order to turn them into rings. Pretty sure everyone in Team Dark is stronger than Chaotix meaning that move wouldn't work by principle
 
@Theuser789 gotta ask would it make sense for eggman to use the phantom ruby to go lightman in a fight? some say it doesn't because
Somthing somthing turns a man who uses his intellect and makes him a brawler

And ironically it's the two characters who didn't need any scaling since they already had good showing in the TOP arc with Krillin v Goku and Roshi shmoovin around Jiren

To be fair, I think Manga ToP Tien has good feats, and Yamcha has a "Top 3 Earthlings" statement(that he admittedly said himself), plus Moro had previously amped the people iirc.
 
@AnAverageUsername what forms you think is needed in kratos vs Asura

Yeah, but Yamcha is kinda notorious for talking bigger than what he's worth (I'd put money on Roshi beating him in a 1v1) and the people being amped by Moro don't mean much since, ya know, they need something else in order to get merit or else they just scale to the characters they're fighting

Team Blast one-shots every enemy, and even if you use it to defeat the other team it doesn't turn them into rings (this also applies to Eggman's creations here like the Egg Hawk).

@Theuser789 gotta ask would it make sense for eggman to use the phantom ruby to go lightman in a fight? some say it doesn't because

I mean, he went Lightman against Super Sonic in the Otherworld Comedy so idk why he wouldn't? Eggman brawls with Sonic in a mech all the way back in Fighters so it's not like it's below him.
