History Awesome / DeathBattleSeasonTen

** Despite his heat vision being overpowered, Superman is undaunted and continues to power through the Kamehameha, and - sensing the incoming danger - Goku's Ultra Instinct aura forms around him to do a gigantic PunchParry with the incoming Superman. The forces of the clash causes the ''whole universe to disappear'', and as everything lights up within the void of the universe... It's revealed through the new halo over Goku's head that Superman has won yet again, though Clark does admit that he "[[WorthyOpponent almost had [him]]]" and happily accepts a potential future sparring match with Goku, capping things off with a respectful fist-bump between Kryptonian and Saiyan.

* At the beginning of the fight, the relationship is made clear - Goku in his Super Saiyan form is tossing Superman around, asking if he's really okay with holding back. Superman's response as he launches himself into the fight again? [[BluntYes Yes, he absolutely is]], and if Goku wants more out of him, the onus will be on Goku to necessitate it.
--> '''Goku:''' "You're holding back! Give it your all! [...] No regrets!"
--> '''Superman:''' "I'm doing ''just fine.''"

* With Goku confirming his intent to undo the damage of the fight, Superman decides to stop holding back: With lightning coursing around him and a fist so highly tensed that it's practically vibrating, he begins hitting Goku so hard that we see flashes of other versions Goku and Superman fighting with every blow he lands. [[note]]The first blow sees Super Saiyan 4 Goku fighting Electric Superman, two 90s versions of our heroes that has divided their fanbases. The second blow shows Goku Black fighting Ultraman, evil versions of our heroes. The final blow shows Xenoverse Goku fighting Superman's Cosmic Robot, multiversal variations of our heroes.[[/note]]

* At one point in the fight, Superman's heat vision cleanly cleaves off the tops of an entire mountain range.

** This one bears special mention, as the Super Flare was brought up in their last fight (and treated with the same level of importance as Goku's God Ki), but never actually used in the animation. Here, Goku puts Clark on the back foot enough to the point he's ''forced'' to use it.

** Superman uses his heat vision to part the Kamehameha as he flies right through it, and this forces Goku into using the Kaioken, the sheer power of which causes the Earth to explode... '''''From the recoil!'''''

* At the start of the post-fight analysis, Boomstick ends up pointing out that if Goku was fighting any other version of Clark aside from the main version that he was up against for the episode, the Earth-raised Super Saiyan would have been victorious, which not only shows how insane the main Superman is at present, but also how much Goku has improved since their infamous rematch in Season 2. In particular, in both the original Goku Vs Superman and the rematch, Superman was noted to effectively dominate every physical category. Now? While Clark is still deemed to be ''much'' stronger than Goku is at this point, and with counters to most of his arsenal, Goku was actually deemed Clark's ''equal'' in speed, and his ''superior'' in combat skill. Shown by Goku managing to parry and dodge Superman's rush early on – which the Kryptonian [[NotBad silently acknowledges]] during [[SlowMotionPassBy the exchange]] – and exploit an opening for a punishing counter during their fight in the upper atmosphere.

* In the first battle, Superman saw Goku as a nuisance at best and a menace at worst. Come the third battle he's really come to respect Goku, happy to go along with his fight-happy antics.
* The mere fact the the fight is ''not'' a CurbStompBattle, unlike the last two fights seems to imply. Goku may have been outmatched in strength and durability, but having the same speed and ''superior skill'' means that he actually had a chance this time.

** Furthermore, even after being hit by 3 of Makima's Bangs, Gojo is still able to laugh slightly. He's not the strongest sorcerer in his home series for nothing.

* Courage casually ''ripping himself in half'' to dodge a laser beam. Remember, Courage feels all the pain he experiences, and yet he willingly subjects himself to the unimaginable pain of [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisection]] without hesitation. [[MeaningfulName 'Courage']] is right.

-->'''The Doctor:''' I know your type. The [[InsufferableGenius nihilist know-it-all]]. But through all this timey-wimey rubbish, there's one thing you never quite understood. [[CharacterCatchphrase I'm The Doctor]]. And I [[PreAssKickingOneLiner don't wanna go]].

* ''The killing blow.'' After Rick shoots his DNA into The Doctor, chestbursting out of him ''mid-regeneration'', he grabs the De-mat gun and fires - but even with both his hearts shot, a giant hole in his chest where Rick burst from, and mid-regeneration, The Doctor manages to turn around and use the portal from the misfiring portal gun to redirect the shot towards Rick, erasing the rival time traveler from history in a true display of [[Creator/SylvesterMcCoy McCoy-esque]] XanatosSpeedChess. As Rick now never existed, every injury that the Doctor sustained from the battle no longer exists either, leaving him back with Morty in the space cruiser no worse for wear and without having needed to regenerate at all. As far as anyone but [[RippleEffectProofMemory The Doctor]] is concerned in-universe, this battle ''never happened.''
* What makes the Doctor's win even more impressive is that technically, it's the very first ''pacifistic'' victory. He spent the majority of the fight either defending himself or running away. He technically ''didn't even land the killing blow'' since he simply redirects Rick's shot from the De-Mat gun back onto him. To put it simply, The Doctor essentially won ''without so much as throwing a single punch''.

* The battle ''begins'' with Earth's destruction. Not as sustenance, but as a mere ''stone'' that Unicron decided to smash over Galactus's head. ''That'' is the emphasis on the scale at work here.

* Courage casually ''ripping himself in half'' to doge a laser beam. Remember, Courage feels all the pain he experiences, and yet he willingly subjects himself to the unimaginable pain of [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisection]] without hesitation. [[MeaningfulName 'Courage']] is right.

** The final sentence doesn't sound like much in a vacuum, but two of The Doctor's regenerations have a FacingTheBulletsOneLiner about "letting go" of their former bodies and personalities. In addition, regenerations in the New Series are usually accompanied by an immense, devastating outpouring of temporal energies that completely destroy their surroundings[[note]]At one point, [[Recap/DoctorWho2013CSTheTimeOfTheDoctor the Doctor obliterated a warship with said energy]],[[/note]] and struggling ''against'' this regeneration only prolongs this temporal devastation. In other words: by saying he "doesn't wanna go" The Doctor reveals he is fully intent on ''weaponizing'' his ResurrectiveImmortality. As well as being an amazing mythology gag to the last line said by the Tenth Doctor before he turned into the Evelenth.

* The sheer escalating scale of the battle between two reality-warping, planet-eating, cosmos-breaking beings transcends most other Death Battles. They start off hitting or throwing planets at each other, then entire stars, then entire ''galaxies'', and they scale their bodies to planetary, stellar, and galactic proportions while at it. The powers they unleash literally quakes the universe they are in, and thanks to the Ultimate Nullifier the climax of the battle involves nothing short of the destruction/(re)creation of the ''entire'' '''''MULTIVERSE.'''''
* Both Unicron and Galactus go through a LensmanArmsRace of cosmic proportions: first huling planets, then stars, then black holes, then star systems, and then entire galaxies at each other, and each of them are tough enough to [[NoSell completely ignore]] the impact of it all. Black holes are used as knuckle dusters and entire galaxies collide with their forms, and they don't even notice it over the actual blows of their opponent.
* After Unicron is cut in half, his spark is seen leaving, escaping into the depths of space. As Galactus taunts his opponent for fleeing the battle, Unicron reveals that is ''not'' what he is doing as he begin to vacuum up solar systems to fuel himself.

* Credit to Ultra Instinct: It puts Superman ''on the back foot''. This is a technique which will push Goku's body past its limit if it is required to dodge, and while there is no doubt Ultra Instinct is pushing Goku harder than he ever has... ''it's working''. He's doing {{Punch Catch}}es, dodging or parrying each of Superman's blows, and exploiting openings with such speed it occasionally looks like Superman is standing still. Throughout the entire time Goku is in ultra instinct, Superman never manages to land an unblocked hit (though the one he does land sends Goku flying in the aerial equivalent of a KnockbackSlide), all the while taking several of Goku's. This relentless assault leaves Superman with no option but to use the [[SphereOfDestruction Super Flare]] just to get some breathing room.

* At one point, [[HamToHamCombat the two titans begin delivering their monologues in poetry]], specifically in Shankespearian Iambic Pentameter, matching each other both physically ''and'' mentally while creating a sense of epic scope never before explored in Death Battle.

* As pointed out in the comments, paying close attention to the battle shows that the Chosen Undead, despite being at the wrong end of the power level, is actually ''superior'' to the Dragonborn in melee combat. The Dragonborn only ever gets ''two'' solid hits in, and even then he needed to use his Shouts to get in close.

* When the Chosen Undead couner's the Dragonborn's arrow barrage with [[GreatBow Gough's Greatbow,]] the Dragonborn doesn't even flinch at seeing a lance-sized arrow flying towards him, instead using [[TimeStandsStill Slow Time]] to stop the arrow just inches from his face.

The Dragonborn only ever gets ''two'' solid hits in, and the second is only after the Chosen Undead is stunned by a FUS shout.

-->'''Galactus''': I've seen your power, Bringer of Chaos, yet by my vigor thou hast much need. Witness the last fate that awaits you thus, for almighty Galactus must now feed!

* Galactus using the Ultimate Nullifier means that Unicron has been erased from all of time and space in the multiverse and remember that most versions of Unicron are reincarnations of the same being so Galactus has made the entire Transformers multiverse a much safer place!
