History Awesome / DeathBattleSeasonNine

* Crossing over with Heartwarming, [=SpongeBob=] is one of the only fighters on the show to pay tribute to their fallen foe. After Aquaman spends his last moments alive consoling a crying [=SpongeBob=], he takes it on himself to draw the fallen Super Friend a tombstone labeled with a huge number 1. Slightly downplayed that [=SpongeBob=] got the name wrong again, labeling it "Ocean Man".

* Normally when someone is afflicted with the Joker Venom most of them become helpless and agonized mess as they suffocate, not Jinx, who not only actually survives what would normally be instant death to even other superhumans, but actually becomes more dangerous by envisioning [[ArchEnemy Vi]], which made her both more focused and more aggressive, added bonus is the amazing visuals the animators did for the display, and Vi [[NoSell no selling]] Harley's taunts and attempted sneak attack.

-->'''Sun Wukong''': (''[[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Completely unfazed by the lack of head'') I haven't had [[BloodKnight this much fun]] since I [[RageAgainstTheHeavens fought all of heaven!]] CHANGE! (''In a puff of smoke, he transforms into [[OneWingedAngel his three-headed, six-armed form]]'') '''Behold me, the Immortal Monkey King!'''\\

-->'''Hercules''': Huh... Multiple heads. Of course.

* The climax of the fight is nothing to scoff at. Both Thor and Vegeta are at full power via Warrior's Madness and Ultra Ego, with Thor preparing a God-Blast, and Vegeta charging up a Hakai-infused Final Flash, seeming set to perform a Dragon Ball-classic BeamOWar. Thor fires the God-Blast... and Vegeta takes a page out of Goku's book, using Instant Transmission to warp out of the way. And the moment Thor turns around, he barely has a second to realize Vegeta's behind him, Final Flash aimed directly at him before the Prince of Saiyans unleashes the ki blast at full power, the resulting beam being seen from space and blasting off of the planet in a shot worthy of ''VideoGame/DragonballFighterz'''s Dramatic Finish... If it weren't for:
* Just when it seems like Vegeta has emerged victorious, Thor suddenly rushes from the smoke, having [[MadeOfIron tanked the Destruction-empowered attack]], [[FacepalmOfDoom grabbing the Prince of all Saiyans by the face]] and holding him still as he summons Mjolnir from the lake. But when Vegeta attempts to use a Final Explosion to get the Asgardian Prince off him, as well as trying to throw him off, Thor simply piledrives him straight towards the ground by the head... As Mjolnir returns to Thor's hand, crushing the back of Vegeta's head into Thor's palm and leaving it nothing more than a bloody pulp with a massive eruption of ki going off upon the Saiyan elite's defeat. Needless to say, Thor's VictoriousRoar at the end was ''very'' well-deserved for his victory.

* Aquaman also finally proves why he was worthy of his title by using all of the Earth's water for one final attack on [=SpongeBob=] as he rams into the Earth from space. While he still dies, he goes down in a way befitting of a badass. In fact, his cooler comic book counterpart never did ''anything'' on this scale during his fight with Namor. And note, he was doing this ''with just one arm'' after his other one was erased from the eraser side of the Magic Pencil.

* First things first: [[ARareSentence SpongeBob SquarePants is an unstoppable monster.]] Not only does Wiz go from dismissing him as a wimpy manchild to being in awe of the sheer amount of crazy shit he can do, but... well, you know those situations where [[HeroicSpirit a hero gains the respect of a powerful enemy by showing incredible resolve in the face of certain defeat]]? [=SpongeBob=] is positioned as that powerful enemy in this episode, and he ''earns'' that position.

-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' IIIIIIIIII'M ''READAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!''

* [=SpongeBob=] currently holds the title for the largest calculated speed feat (barring immeasurable feats from speedsters like the Flash family and the Archie hedgehogs), which breaks Wiz because he can't comprehend that [=SpongeBob SquarePants=], of all people, is this powerful.

[[caption-width-right:350:A true clash of the gods.]]

* To underline how equal both fusees are, their intitial bout sees them matching blows ''exactly'', ending up with them both turning super saiyan at the exact moment of a dual-headbutt.

* The voice performances should also be given credited, both Jonah Scott and [[{{Lanipator}} Nick Landis]] did phenomenal, catching the strong and powerful presence of the two warrior princes, special shoutout to [[Creator/TeamFourStar Nick Landis']] shouting Final Flash which would fit perfectly in any climatic final attack in Dragon Ball and he admits that he went harder with his Final Flash on this than he did when he did it in Episode 52 of ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged''.

** This leads to the clash between [[TheUltimateShowdownofUltimateDestiny Super Saiyan Blue Vegito vs. Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta]] - and it's ''beautifully'' animated.

* The fight and how it unfolds is perfectly summarized by Wiz and Boomstick’s recap. [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Omni-Man]] is [[TaughtByExperience a warrior]], with [[StrongAndSkilled thousands of years of experience]]. [[PsychopathicManchild Homelander]] is [[TheBully little more than a bully]] (''and'' [[NormalFishInATinyPond a big fish in a small pond]]) who has [[UnskilledButStrong NEVER fought someone on his own level nor had to push himself to overcome adversity]]. And it shows. [[CurbStompBattle Homelander could barely land a few minor hits while Nolan brutally dismantled his foe physically and mentally with almost no effort]].

[[PsychopathicManchild Homelander]] is [[TheBully little more than a bully]] (''and'' [[NormalFishInATinyPond a big fish in a small pond]]) who has [[UnskilledButStrong NEVER fought someone on his own level nor had to push himself to overcome adversity]]. And it shows. [[CurbStompBattle Homelander could barely land a few minor hits while Nolan brutally dismantled his foe physically and mentally with almost no effort]].

* After hearing Homelander’s justification for breaking into his home, killing his wife, and threatening him to leave America was simply because [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence Homelander didn't want another powerful hero stealing his spotlight]], Omni-Man knocks the fake All-American Hero on his ass before delivering a line to him that contains the same level of energy as Edgar's ''[[Recap/TheBoysS0201TheBigRide "You are not our most valuable asset."]]''

* The killing blow is as awesome as it is horrifying. When Homelander uses his sonic scream to disorient Omni-Man and then tries to burn his eyes out with his heat vision, the insane Supe begins a rant on how he’ll kill everyone Nolan ever knows, including Mark. ''It’s the last mistake he makes,'' cause now, Nolan '''stops playing around.''' Omni-Man proceeds to tank Homelander's heat vision, and block it out with one hand. Then he proceeds to [[NotHyperbole make good on his promise]] to feed Homelander his own heart, as he tears off the fake hero's jaw with an almost casual grab. While Homelander is left whimpering in pain, unable to scream, [[AndShowItToYou Nolan proceeds to rip out his heart, casually holding it in his hand while Homelander is on his knees;]] slowly trying to reach out to his still-beating heart while Omni-Man just lightly raises it away from him [[NotHyperbole before calmly reminding what he had promised him]] as he ''crams the heart down Homelander’s throat.'' As Homelander is left [[VillainsWantMercy trying to beg for mercy]] through his mangled mouth and one intact eye, Omni-Man crushes his skull in revenge for what he did to Debbie. Considering how Homelander is, to put it mildly, an ''extremely'' messed up person and with all the crap he put people through in ''The Boys'', plus Omni-Man himself here, you could argue that as much as it also counts as NightmareFuel, Homelander's death can be a REALLY big CatharsisFactor. Many fans have said that if the kill was performed on anyone else, it would be outright horrific, but seeing it done to someone who's no stranger to similarly killing people, [[AssholeVictim it becomes almost satisfying]]. In a seriously brutal way that is, but still!
-->'''Nolan''': Remember what I promised you...? ''[shoves Homelander's heart into his now torn off jaw, before gripping onto his skull, opening his own scorched eyes]'' ''Now swallow.'' ''[as Homelander squeals in pain and terror, Omni-Man crushes his skull, splattering blood on the bystanders]'' [[BondOneLiner Merry Christmas.]] ''[flies off]''
* There's a subtle diss to Homelander that Omni-Man does - for a moment, it looks like the heat vision burned out his eyes, but just before he kills Homelander, Nolan opens them, revealing they're just reddened by the irritation like there was only some sand that was kicked into his face. Even the deepest blow Homelander did to him only made him squint for a bit.

* The fight and how it unfolds is perfectly summarized by Wiz and Boomstick’s recap. [[InvincibleVillain Omni-Man]] is [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy a warrior]], with [[StrongAndSkilled thousands of years of experience]].

And it shows. [[CurbStompBattle Homelander could barely land a few minor hits while Nolan brutally dismantled his foe physically and mentally with almost no effort]].

* Homelander casually threatens Omni-Man in his own home to get out of his country and shows that he fried Debbie with his heat vision. [[TranquilFury Omni-Man calmly tells him that he is going to feed him his own heart]], not as a threat, but as ''a statement and a promise.'' '''A promise [[NotHyperbole he makes good on]] after one of the most blatant [[CurbStompBattle Curb-Stomp Battles]] in the history of the show!''' Just to highlight how much of a curb-stomp it is, the actual fight itself is barely over two minutes long (which is extremely rare in ''Death Battle'', where even the weakest losers put up a good fight), and roughly half the length of the backing track for said "fight". ''That’s how insignificant Homelander was to Omni-Man''.
