Well, Swan says he is now interested in that due to Gear 5.

But **** off man, its only an illusion of being more fair. They'll just do Uni+ MFTL+ Plastic. You think they'll give Luffy legit Toonforce to beat that? lmao

also **** me DBSSH buffs for Piccolo will also give illusion of fairness vs Martian Manhunter uuugggghh

I dont even mind stomps, but if we are technical, there are times DB has not done matches due to stompiness, yet DB still does other stomps.

Yeah G5 unironically became a monkey paw given it's abilities

Plastic Man vs Luffy became more enticing to the crew thanks to it where swan himself thought it was dumb before it

It does open alot of stuff for Luffy and we know he's a lock for a future episode

My thoughts on the other stuff


The coof neutralizing 20 episodes

Bit miffed I feel it could've had better chance at working with proper time but given alot of shit that happened with the 3D animator's n such probably for the best

They will try to do more live-action/claymation episodes in the future. Budget is not the sole reason why LA fights don't happen more often, it's more about the schedule as they make the episodes around the animation. Musical episodes are on Ben's radar.

Claymation takes alot of time tho they probably need to reach out to guys who's more experienced at it to get an idea on how to get it out in high quality


Live Action Stuff made Sense (Bat in the sun) has other shit to do so trying to figure when to do one and seeing when there available can be tricky

Musical Episode well never been a fan but who the hell can they do those on other than Disney characters and ones who focus on that

While there won't be S9B characters revealed after Bobator, there will be a surprise reveal.

I wonder wat reveal it be?

Really? ******* Plastic Man?

I mean outside of it being "Beloved FanFav getting taken to the DC slaughter" it's not bad really

Both characters have fun easy going personalities and when you go into the animation potential you can do alot of crazy shit with em

Theburgerking11 said:
Per Ben, they will(or haven't) no longer "wait" for characters to wrap up their stories to bring them into DB. Too many characters are faced with the "Death Battle curse" and unlike the old days, characters seem to be getting new content after the show/series has ended, so they feel like it's no use waiting.
Click to expand...
This makes immense sense

With a show like Death Battle you don't have the luxury of playing the waiting game on various characters to see if they get anything to change the outcome or not


The fact they used Saitama despite previously stating they would wait to see if his shit will get done and the current arc he's in isn't yet shows you can't play the waiting game forever


Gon vs Deku happening this year could be the case given Deku has enough feats to secure the win and Gon story as of now is over

Tho if we fully take that line that means Ruby vs Maka is on the cards instead of being final season edition MU

Keep the answer short: so many death battle requests are for new verses (esp. recent ACGN works). It is commercially not wise to wait until the story ends and the hype go stale.

The crew knew it. Or should have known.

Late they realised

While on other matches they could have done them when certain franchises had hyp on anything new going for them

tbf it depends on how strong the hype is and how popular the series is

I think it's less that it's fairer and more that the abilities "bounce" off each other better.

And hey, I could imagine it being a fun episode given both characters personalities.

the TFS thing could be something else like the HFIL stuff

idk in regards to another DB MU this season
Thor vs Vegeta was the Big Mu they could do for this season

Tipper17 said:
hold on rereading

definitely implies another DB MU this season

What about Cell actually fought Super Skrull?
What about... DA Perfect Cell joins Desk of Death Battle?

Or even... Kermit the Frog would fight Pepe the Frog or Froppy (MHA) in Season 9?

Derpmaster9000 said:
Hit vs Sakuya potentially incoming?

Could be an option.
Just... How does Team Shanghai Alice deal with money making fanons? This can be something people may have totally overlooked.

okay thinking about it maybe some shit involving that 🤔

press X for Doubt

Could be Cell MU tbf.

Could be either but lets go thru a process of elimination

I think if they would do Hit vs Sakuya it would be done in sprites, there's no reason for it to be done in 3D

THIS
 
ok i did pulled a clip from the fireside chat about the use of characters before their stories wrap up. I did this in case you were interested in what they had to say directly from them.

Is there a minimum amount of material required for a character to show up in Death Battle?



Keep in mind there's like a 4 minute session of them just rambling about One Piece (4:25-7:00) that I would skip since it doesn't really have to do with the question, but it's up to you. It's towards the middle.

Why Raiden?
its not even an option from what i seen
Genji iirc
Click to expand...
Basically the same connections, probably much closer, and has the additional connection of (Warframe spoilers) both being child soldiers. It's just a better MU even if it's less likely, but I'll accept Genji as long as the fight is good and they do Warframe justice.
 
I unironically want Ash Williams so bad, especially if they composite him, there's no reason they wouldn't as it's not really against most canon, but it'd just be hilarious if they bring up how he's fought Freddy, Jason, and the original Marvel Zombies, multiple demon gods and the likes and basically has in-universe plot armour

honestly, he's kind of a less Edgy Guts with how he constantly deals with shit waaay above his paygrade and gets his ass kicked left and right
