History Awesome / DeathBattle

* D.Va vs. Tron Bonne
** In the climax of this intense brawl between {{Mini Mecha}}s, Hana seals Tron's fate by trapping her Gustaff in a bear hug, rocketing into the sky, and ejecting from the self-destructing MEKA before it and her opponent go ''boom''.

* Mulan vs Lucina being a massive WinBackTheCrowd. The previous fight, Thor Vs Vegeta was criticized for being only around 30 seconds long(more time being spent on the Ringmaster) and having one of the tamest deaths ever seen on the show. This time, despite being mostly a sword duel, the fight is much longer, very fast paced and having one of the most grisly deaths ever seen. And the fight ends with the reveal that the next fight was going to be one of the most requested fights, Shantae vs Shovel Knight!

** Credit for his move in the tunnel as well. Even in vehicle form, Optimus was too big for him to just go around normally, as he risked getting crushed against the wall. His solution? Drive onto the wall of the tunnel and go around Optimus.

** Most of the racers manage to do significantly well in the race; The [=DeLorean=] travelled through time right off the bat to try and win before the race even started, only to have it's pizza ruined due to that, Captain Falcon pulls off a totally in character act by saving Mario, despite the show's premise even if Mario wasn't thankful for it, Sonic and Mario both inadvertently [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard took themselves out with their items]] (a Blue Shell and a Bob-Omb respectively) and the Toyota [=AE86=] manages to win despite being [[BadassNormal a normal car in comparison with sheer driving skill alone]].

* Meta example with [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Yang]] vs. [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Bakugo]] as Bakugo won by ''.02 percent of the vote''. Seeing as how controversial using ''RWBY'' characters are, this close race proves the staying power both characters and franchises have.

** But the most impressive case was the Warthog's victory as despite being knocked of the track in a typical way to the VideoGame/{{Halo}} games, the driver wasn't even fazed as he was reading a book (The Art Of T-Bag Vol 1) before they landed back on the track across the finish line after everyone else was down, complete with the gunner leaving to teabag in victory.

* Following Shantae vs Shovel Knight is Lucario vs Blaziken. The last time a fight between combatants of the same franchise was Krillin vs Tien vs Yamcha back in Season 3 and just like that, this battle does not disappoint. The battle starts because Serena was planning to beat Lucario for his Fightinium Z Crystal, so she sends out both Blaziken and Weavile out to fight him, Lucario tells the Butterfree next to him to stay out of the fight leading to a 2 v 1 against Serena's pokémon with Lucario staying on top for the most part. Only when Weavile pins Lucario's foot down with Ice Beam and Blaziken actually gaining ground does Butterfree step in, evening the playing field as both sides remain on even ground. Undeterred, Serena brings a third Pokéball out revealing Nidoking who starts to assist his teammates in defeating Lucario and Butterfree, leading to Lucario being pinned to the ground by Nidoking. Serena attempts to catch Lucario with an Ultra Ball, only for Butterfree to [[TakingTheBullet take the hit]], [[HeroicSacrifice at the cost of being caught]]. Lucario struggles some more before pulling out his Fightinium Z and activating it, [[HeroicSecondWind gaining a tremendous boost in power]] as he blasts everyone away. He systematically two-shots Nidoking with Close Combat and Aura Sphere before overpowering Weavile while it was using Double Team as he gets back to his original opponent, Blaziken, who after losing ground due to Lucario's enhanced speed is finished off by a supercharged Aura Sphere so powerful it blasts Serena out of the arena as Lucario breaks open her Ultra Ball to free Butterfree.
** The alternate ending is no slouch as even when Lucario is enhanced by his HeroicSecondWind, Blaziken still wins out as he slams Lucario into the ground, knocking him out of his powered up state before finishing the Aura Pokémon off with Fire Punch, knocking Lucario out and allowing Serena to catch him uninterrupted.
* Following up Lucario vs Blaziken is a battle involving a combatant no one had seen since his assistance for Gohan last season, [[Manga/DragonBall Kid Goku]] vs [[Manga/HunterXHunter Gon]].

* ''Batmobile Battle!'': There's a post-mortem moment of awesome for the Adam West Batmobile. At the start of the race, Wiz points out that whoever makes it across first wins, no rules on how they get there. When the Burton Batmobile drops a bomb that detonates beneath it, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard guess which direction he ends up flying]]?

** Credit must be given to Lighting [=McQueen=], who tied with Thomas the Tank Engine in 2nd place. What made this impressive is that everyone in the race has some sort of specialty that basically helped them cheat. Lightning had nothing but his pure racing skills, but he effortlessly made short work of the obstacles and kept a decent spot on the race. Had this been a fair race, he would have won, hell he could have won this race if Thomas hadn't crash landed directly onto him.

** Thomas the Tank Engine's Skyrim mod. Although it makes absolutely no sense if you're not familiar with [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]['s mod community], it doesn't change the fact that Thomas, who otherwise would have been out of the race for good [[RealityEnsues when the first turn came up]], is flying about breathing fire and putting pressure on the rest of the contestants.

Lightning had nothing but his pure racing skills, but he effortlessly made short work of the obstacles and kept a decent spot on the race. Had this been a fair race, he would have won, hell he could have won this race had each racer kept their special traits in check.
** Thomas the Tank Engine's Skyrim mod, enough said.

* Lucario vs. Blaziken is a beautifully-animated fight between not Lucario and Blaziken, but also a Butterfree on Lucario's side and a Weavile and Nidoking on Blaziken's. It is a massive brawl, with all members of the fighting getting a moment to shine and manages to tell a story without words.

* Speaking of Shantae vs Shovel Knight, the match lived up to the hype. Both fighters are putting their all into their attacks and using tricks the games would never let them pull. And to end the fight, [[spoiler: Shovel Knight redeems himself from his lost in Death Battle]].
