Oh shit, we might get relativistic RWBY (Key word: Might)

Most likely not.

Now you've made the first step to make Ruby Rose standing a chance against Maka Albarn.

Now, proceed on step 2 and beyond.

It is impossible to not believe in karma when this matchup is still a hard stomp

Speaking of karma, it can be just me but is anyone having the same feeling every episode written/researched by Lousy seems to be uncomfortable in some way?
(What about putting it to the ultimate test: Nami (One Piece) vs Weather Report - with Lousy researching for One Piece and Liam researching for JJBA it would be putting their research abilities to one climate changing test - pun intended.)

[RiloKileyFan]

ok here we go
since people will be more attentive to the view count for this episode, then I would like to remind people that Youtube undereports the view counts for the episode for the first 4 hours by a lot. So if the episode only has 100k-200k views for the first 4 hours, don't panic yet.

 

[Jasonsith]

Roughly 36000 views in 20 minutes, like 1/3 an hour. Expect topping 2.6 m views maximum in a single day. Would Omni-Man vs Homelander eat his heart out?

 

[RiloKileyFan]

32k livestream viewers, that's pretty good, lower than SaitPopeye (35k), but way higher than the usual 21-25k, and especially higher than Jinxly and WandaZee (18k at most)

Looks like 99% of the people watching were pleased with the result and the episode

 

[RiloKileyFan]

Roughly 36000 views in 20 minutes, like 1/3 an hour. Expect 2.5 m views maximum in a single day. Would Omni-Man vs Homelander eat his heart out?

well Omnilander got 45k viewers on the premiere, so not quite there, but this should be a very successful episode for them.

Of course they are pleased. A favorite character won always pleases people. (That reminds me of Sasuke vs Hiei and Sanji Vinsmoke vs Rock Lee sadly.)

All that build-up for a pathetic death. This season was doing excellently until this came along.

 

[ThatDarnFish]

Spoiler: Herakong

Who was it that said Herc scaled to Hermes ultra high speed feat? Cuz damn, that sure didn't happen. Wukong Blitzes

Otherwise, yeah this went about as well for Herc as I expected.

Yeah this was a pretty lackluster climax. Everything else was nice, though. I liked the way they presented it

 

[Dust_Collector]

Just saw the episode myself and yeah it's pretty good. Death was a little weaksauce but overall I really enjoyed this episode.

The crew does not deem such.

Well, technically they somehow built two celestial spirits to fight along.
But yeah killing blow is lackluster.
And yeah without scaling Herc does die.


Now... Would BobaDator be in 3D (very likely) or even be in live action? (Well 3D should give a lot of opportunities to crazy things like Boba Fett dropping into a Sarlacc one more time while maintaining some melee clashes and gun fight intensity. Also a costume and makeup for Predator can be tricky.)

 

[Hunterzillas]

Pretty bummed about the result, but when they didn't bring up any of Heracles's scaling I kind of saw it coming.

EDIT* Oh, the episode itself wasn't bad at all, hope this gets them to do more off the wall matches.

 

[TUHTPeaSkull12]

8-10 pretty good episode

 

[CharlesZaGreat]

Predator vs Boba Fett my beloved

Alright lads, who wants to watch the Predator series

We've got
Predator
Predator 2 (I have never seen this movie, I can't find it anywhere)
Alien vs Predator
Alien vs Predator: Requi- actually, you know what, lets skip this one
Predators
The Predator...I guess
And Prey (When that comes out)

Oh and then there's the Alien vs Predator comics and video games (Also Predator: Hunting Grounds)

 

[ThatDarnFish]

Hoping for another Guts episode in the future. Mostly cuz I've been looking through Guts battle off site, and the man gets wanked to hell and back.
Not sure who I'd like to see him fight against, though. But I've seen people put him against Post time skip Zoro and say Guts blitzes and Zoro.


Similarly I want Kratos back, and Spawn.

Still can't believe they had him kill ******* Nightmare, let alone Night Terror.

 

[Tots_Real]

The fight was a bit underwhelming in spots but overall fine, the outcome makes sense though it is kinda wierd how they scaled Wunkong strength to infinite universal for lifting the universe but not scale him hopping to the end of the universe similarly.

 

[Jimmy.robinson.5099]

Still can't believe they had him kill ******* Nightmare, let alone Night Terror.

What was the reason they gave again? I remember it sounding reasonable enough, but it was awhile ago when I saw it (specifically when I first got into DB and binged all the episodes: for reference, this was after E3 2015), and apparently a LOT of people disagree...

Guts kills Demons stronger than him all the time, so he can kill Night Terror.

 

[JoshDoshMosh]

It's a back in forth, a lot of people are predictably losing their minds but there's not really much in terms of good arguments there, just a lot of slurs and incredible amounts of racism. Some are complaining about no God scaling though.

yeah, its kinda to be expected since 4chom has a problem with every Asian group that isn't Japanese

 

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

Fire-Force scaling goes brrrr

 

[Derpmaster9000]

Over 110K views so far in 69 minutes. We're looking to be eating well, lads.

 

[The_Axiom_of_Virgo]

Both the outcome and the next time were "well duh". Overall a great episode and I don't really have much else to say, since the above replies have already voiced the same opinions I've formed, so pears I guess?

Maybe the general public perceive spite matchups better than we perceive. (Or maybe they just enjoy the gore and some actual hand drawn animation)

Maybe the crew should regret for not doing Korra vs Rey or Delsin Rowe to avoid spite or controversy whatever.

Or the crew members are still puzzled with why Omnilander performs better than Korrorm despite both having the same factor with the same feeling "they are the production team members and they could do whatever the hell they want" energies.

Bumping this so that people can compare

 

[ThatDarnFish]

Guts kills Demons stronger than him all the time, so he can kill Night Terror.

That's a NLF if I ever heard one. What next? Gonna put Guts against Dante and have him win that, too? Or Virgil? I didn't know anything about Soul Caliber back then, so I didn't think much of the fight other than "Some game monster swordy. Guts wins? Makes sense."

It was S2 era DB so yeah it was stupid

 

[Soulgizmo]

That deathbattle was amazing. It went better than I anticipated. So many funny jokes. And the breakdown for both of them were on point af. During hercules' I felt inspired to get stronger. During sun's it was so humorous and like what is this character? He's so cracked wtf were they thinking making him that overpowered?

 

[Soulgizmo]

The music and presentation of the fight itself was so unique as well. The scroll moving around. The cut to the celestial bodies themselves. Arrow spam and clone spam. It wasn't clearly one sided I love that. Also saving sun's speed and true strength for the conclusion felt good.
And the can he beat goku joke landed so well. Bringing up goku and naruto and luffy had to happen and I'm glad they did.

 

[Soulgizmo]

Hercules' greatest feat is making Hera warm up to him to be honest.

 

[Stefano4444]

Yeah, Hercules VS Sun Wukong its easily one of their best fights, i am more than satisfying.

 

[The_Smashor]

I saw the episode when it premiered on Sunday via a Discord watch party but seeing the episode in full definition at a consistent framerate just hammered in how great it is to me.

Season 9 literally hasn't had anything lower than a B so far, and most of it has been A or even S.

 

[Crowman123]

its time they update the top 20 must see DB episodes playlist get rid of Sonic vs Mario 2, Wally vs Sonic ( I don't see it as a must watch), Winter Soldier vs Red Hood, Link vs Cloud 2, Yoda vs Mickey, Genji vs Raiden (why is this even here? its a DBX!), and DeadPool vs Pinkie,

Replace with Omnilander, Herkong, SaitPopeye, GR vs Lobo, Jinxly (for a boost), and a couple of the classic episodes that still hold up, like Buu vs Kirby.

I would replace Deadpool vs Pinkie Pie with Steven vs Star.

I wasn't really into the first 3 MUs at all, but I can say the fights were at least pretty decent, even if SW vs Z was a little disappointing.

But everything from Thorgeta onwards has been consistently great like 8/10s or higher imo. If they keep this level of fight consistency, if the analysis' stay most entertaining like they have been, and we start getting more unique MUs in the 2nd half of the season, this could end up being one of my favorite DB Seasons yet.

I rlly hope it doesn't drop off after this
