Katana's soul absorption works when she kills her opponent, does it not? Its not like she can absorb people's souls just from being near them
I would need more scans for that.
But if what said us true, then bummer.
One MU I thought of is Karai from TMNT but I chose that because I thought two katana chicks dueling would be cool and they have little to no connections (It's just two sword wielding chicks that their name start with the letter K)
That is sad.
Katana potentially could benefit from the Suicide Squad but even the Suicide Squad movies are not doing very well iirc.
So Katana has so far
- Akame (Akame ga Kill) - Akame AP stomps (she AP stomps and hax stomps against a lot of opponents and yes it is not a spite matchup but when people talk Akame MUs many people want Killua to die horribly to Akame)
- Elektra (Marvel) - yet another capeshit matchup
- Karai (TMNT) - anyone giving close connections between Karai and Katana?
(Borrowing ideas from DBW)
- Storm Shadow (GI Joe)
- Silver Samurai (Marvel X-Men)
- Kenshi
... Okay not much great and notable ideas TBH
Well let us not do sex discrimination
And guess what? If we do this, male vs female episodes where females won do worse than those where males won. And both scenarios still do worse than male vs male or team/army battles.
But truth is Suicide Squad characters do not get promoted (some argue they got demoted) by the two Suicide Squad movies. Meaning Black Canary vs Sindel and Harley Quinn vs Jinx may be actually hurt because of this. RIP for Poison Ivy and Deadshot and Enchantress and potentially Peacemaker tho.
With scaling from Esdeath... Well Akame stomps against most of her proposed opponents, gender regardless.
Also, in Katana vs Akame, either we have another DC killer, or we have someone avenge against Gray. We win. The audience wins. View clicks and trending wins. Meaning Death Battle wins. Hurray.
Also, that's a petty reason to want a match-up
Say it to Omni-Man vs Homelander and Hercules vs Sun Wukong. Spite matchups bring more click views than even I imagine.
Petty or not the real thing stopping Katana vs Akame is that... (breath) Katana does not bring in good views (blames from/despite) the Suicide Squad movies, and since Harley Quinn vs Jinx took the job of proving DC characters can be killed by non-Marvel meaning people are less interested in watching non-Marvel killing a DC "street" character die but more on wanting a non-Marvel to kill a DC herald or above character (those Sinestro vs Terumi and John vs Raidou and "hopefully" Kyle vs Simon and such).
