3
4	Guerras De Rap ("[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Rap Wars]]", sometimes stylized as Guerrasderap) is a Spanish musical group founded in 2015 by latin american artists [[https://www.youtube.com/c/CyanCoat CyanCoat]], [[https://twitter.com/the5oul The5oul]] [[LeetLingo (pronounced 'The Soul'...)]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/HatyFandub TicciFandubs]], as a tribute to [[WebVideo.EpicRapBattlesOfHistory Epic Rap Battles of History.]]
5
6	Unlike their inspiration, however, the characters used are more pop culture oriented, rather than historical figures, their videos also make use of illustrated [[LimitedAnimation storyboard-like animations]] and custom instrumentals that [[LeitMotif reference the characters being featured]].
7
8	Although the videos are in Spanish, they all have closed captions in English, [[LanguageBarrier which also provide context needed to understand certain lyrics.]]
9
10	Some artists featured in their songs include musician and filmmaker [[https://www.youtube.com/c/3Prayt 3Prayt]] and nerdcore rapper [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV6U3dtJyPlOvkOBVEjxFSA Benderu]], [[WebVideo.FreshyKanal Freshy Kanal]] was also involved in the production of some of the battles.
11
12	The audios for their videos come out months in advance in their [[https://soundcloud.com/guerrasderap Soundcloud page]], the videos themselves are uploaded to their [[https://www.youtube.com/c/GuerrasDeRap/ Youtube channel]]. Other social media includes [[https://twitter.com/guerrasDeRap Twitter]] and their Discord server.
13
14	According to the creators, the series is currently in an indefinite hiatus as they focus on their work and personal lives.
15
16	----
17	!! Guerras de Rap provides examples of the following tropes:
18
19
20	* AmbidextrousSprite: '''Averted'''. Although the show has notoriously [[LimitedAnimation low budget animation]], it allows the creators to put attention to detail in other aspects of the videos. As such, characters with asymmetrical designs are accounted for when flipping the sprites. Most notable with Krilin in Kenny vs Krilin, whose "Kame Sennin" logo on his suit is always shown in the correct placement no matter where his sprites are facing.
21
22	* ArtEvolution: The series' art style changes drastically between Mega Man vs Astro Boy and Rick Sanchez vs Walter White, even though it is the same artist.
23
24
25	* AscendedExtra: [[https://www.youtube.com/c/Cloud17/ Cloud17]] went from only having a few writing credits and drawn cameos to actually voicing a character in a battle with the release of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhp8bzi00ws Animatronics vs Ghosts.]]
26
27
28	* AuthorAppeal: Cyan and 5oul seem to have a huge soft spot for indie or retro video games, as of writing this half of the battles feature characters that fit that description. Perhaps this isn't much of a surprise considering their [[Videogame.NoclippedWallPhantom other projects]].
29
30
31	* BackFromTheDead: The entire premise of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn9xa2_3r0Y Kenny vs Krilin]] is that both of them are prone to this.
32
33
34	* BadassInANiceSuit: Both [[Franchise.TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]] and [[{{Film.Phantasm}} Tall Man]] qualify. They went against each other (at least before the battle got [[CanonDiscontinuity de-canonized]]).
35
36
37	* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:While [[Franchise.MortalKombat Scorpion]] is not exactly a ‘bad guy’, the more benevolent [[Videogame.UnderTale Sans]] ends up dying to his hands [[MythologyGag in the same way he does in his source material]].]]
38
39
40	* BaldOfEvil: [[Franchise.BreakingBad Walter White]].
41
42
43	* BattleRapping: Naturally.
44
45
46	* BerserkButton:
47	** Jesse Pinkman’s only contribution in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB7DTujoZY4 Rick Sánchez vs Walter White]] is threatening to shoot Rick once Walter suggests Morty might be being abused by him. [[OOCisseriousbusiness While his eagerness to commit murder is rather unexpected]], it plays into another aspect of his personality in the original show, which is his [[FriendToAllChildren concern for children’s safety.]]
48
49
50	** Doctor Manhattan [[NotSoAboveItAll loses his temper]] during his third verse, in a way that reminisces a certain scene in [[{{ComicBook.Watchmen}} Watchmen]].
51
52
53	** [[Manga.DragonBall Android 18]] kills [[WesternAnimation.SouthPark Kenny]] before he can finish his second verse, this “intervention” is prompted by [[ExtremeLibido the subject he was rapping about.]] He [[BackfromtheDead comes back]] as his [[SuperpoweredAlterEgo alter ego]] Mysterion and attacks Krilin as payback in his next verse.
54
55
56	* BilingualBonus:
57	** Every battle has captions in English, which also provide context for certain jokes that might be [[LostInTranslation lost in translation]] otherwise. These translations omit the rhymes, however, so any time something actually DOES rhyme in English it's likely just a coincidence.
58
59
60	** Oddly enough, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqhS4X0ddOM Scott Pilgrim vs Boyfriend]] has this with a whole back-and-forth between them, with a chain of puns going from "Fuckboy" to "Puck-Man" and "Cuck-man". None of these words are in Spanish, but they seem to be general knowledge to the audience.
61
62
63	* BitingTheHandHumor: The [[Videogame.PacMan Pac-Man]] ghosts mock the Animatronics for being a trend that got its popularity through [[Website.YouTube Youtube]]… on a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhp8bzi00ws video hosted on Youtube...]] in a tribute to [[WebVideo.EpicRapBattlesofHistory a series that ALSO got its popularity in Youtube.]]
64
65
66	* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Somewhat invoked with Saitama, who calls out Doctor Manhattan for being a genocidal [[BlueAndOrangeMorality “villain”]].
67
68
69	* BlackComedy: Kenny vs Krilin is full of [[BloodyHilarious Bloody Hilarious]] deaths and [[PrecisionFStrike foul language.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB7DTujoZY4 Rick Sanchez vs Walter White]] is also a contender with some of [[WesternAnimation.RickAndMorty Rick’s]] disses, going as far as saying stuff like [[AndYourLittleDogToo “that shit is as invalid as your son by now!”]]. Morty’s face says it all.
70
71
72	* {{Bookends}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Guj9353XEnI Saitama vs Doctor Manhattan]] ends with both of them in space, [[UnstoppableForceMeetsImmovableObject realizing they’re unable to harm the other]], [[ForeverWar but still refusing to back down.]]
73
74
75	* BreakingTheFourthWall: As expected from any ERB Style Rap Battle show. Krilin takes it further by [[SelfDeprecatingHumor taking shots at the show itself.]]
76	-->'''Krilin:''' And we’re both being compared because of dying and reviving? If that’s the case, you’d have a better chance against this rap show!
77
78
79	* BrickJoke: Scott Pilgrim vs Boyfriend mentions Pac-Man, guess what IP was featured in the next battle.
80
81
82	* ButtMonkey:
83	** Kenny.
84	** Scott Pilgrim to a lesser extent.
85	** While not physically like the other examples, Morty is attacked even by Rick who is in his own team.
86
87
88	* CallBack: [[Videogame.FiveNightsAtFreddys Bonnie the Bunny]] is holding a slightly modified version of the bass that [[ComicBook/ScottPilgrim Scott Pilgrim]] had in the previous battle. [[https://twitter.com/GuerrasDeRap/status/1372400339350077440 A photo]] published in their Twitter page suggests it's [[StealthPun based]] on the one Cyancoat owns in real life
89
90
91	* ChristmasEpisode: '''Defied''': both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Guj9353XEnI Saitama vs Doctor Manhattan]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn9xa2_3r0Y Kenny vs Krilin]] were uploaded in December of their respective years, but Christmas isn’t acknowledged in any of them and they don’t seem to be considered specials (unless you count the snow in Kenny’s background and the mention of Mr. Hanky as this, but that’s a stretch)
92	** Saitama vs Doctor Manhattan was actually uploaded December 12th, 2019 (12/12), but had to be reuploaded a day later due to an audio error, so the date might actually be a reference to the number 12 which is very prominent in ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'s symbolism.
93
94
95	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Every single character featured is assigned a color, this is most notable in the [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrlRN5yoUox4t4yTlpxZYR-65a1mwTbhV videos for the instrumental tracks]], which only feature the silhouettes of the characters.
96
97
98	* CreativeClosingCredits: Walter White vs Rick Sanchez is stylized to look like the opening to Breaking Bad, while Scott Pilgrim vs Boyfriend has both an intro that references Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld's opening, an outro that references VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin and closing credits that resemble the [[VideoGame/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorldTheGame Scott Pilgrim game's]] versus screens.
99
100
101	* CreatorCameo: Most, if not all of the battles, have this in some form or another. Mostly in the credits which feature drawings of the cast and crew dressed as the characters from the IP’s being featured.
102
103
104	* CreepyBlueEyes: Freddy Fazbear.
105
106
107	* CreepyMonotone: 3Prayt portrays Doctor Manhattan’s speech like this.
108
109
110	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Scott Pilgrim and Kenny.
111
112
113	* CurbStompBattle: While most battles are pretty fair on the lyrical side, the cartoony nature of the series allows it to quickly devolve into physical violence, which doesn’t go well for some characters.
114
115
116	* CurbStompCushion: Compared to [[WebVideo.EpicRapBattlesOfHistory ERB]], these battles tend to get physical very often, but regardless of that the focus to judge the results is still supposed to be the lyrics themselves.
117
118
119	* CurseCutShort: Happens to [[WesternAnimation.SouthPark Kenny McCormick]], twice.
120
121
122	* {{Crossover}}:
123	** While not an explicit crossover between the series themselves, you might recognize Cyancoat’s work from his appearances in WebVideo/{{FreshyKanal}} and [[https://www.youtube.com/c/EddiesRapChannel Animation vs Anything.]] (This is also why some drawings from Freshy Kanal, such as Mr. Burns and Taylor Swift, appeared in GDR.)
124
125	** Freshy Kanal himself is credited as the audio mixer in Rick Sanchez vs Walter White.
126
127
128	* CruelAndUnusualDeath:
129	** The [[Videogame.PlantsVsZombies Plants vs Zombies]] Peashooter, of all characters, gets straight up executed by [[Videogame.ResidentEvil4 The Merchant]], with a gunshot to the back of the head.
130
131
132	** Kenny gets run over by a school bus, his neck snapped, burnt to a crisp and dragged face-first across concrete, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill all in the same battle]].
133
134
135	* DiagonalCut: [[spoiler:Sans suffers one of these, by Scorpion’s hand.]]
136
137
138	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Saitama, quite literally.
139
140
141	* DisproportionateRetribution: Android 18 kills a fourth grader because of his sexual comments towards her. (Granted, Kenny comes back from the dead as expected, but it does not make the death any less brutal.)
142
143
144	* DramaticIrony: Kenny vs Krilin ends with a line about the show itself ‘dying’ and coming back frequently [[SelfDeprecatingHumor (mocking the inconsistent upload schedule).]] There was a completely unplanned year-long gap between this battle and the previous one (apparently caused by a corrupted USB), making that line hit even harder.
145
146
147	* DudeNotFunny: Invoked in Rick vs Walter, when Rick mentions Walter Jr.’s disability, even Morty is shocked, to the point where Rick (sarcastically) backpedals and asks if he went too far.
148
149
150	* DynamicEntry: Several.
151	** Astro Boy [[JetPack flies in]] from below the screen.
152
153	** Doctor Manhattan teleports in during his title card.
154
155	** Ramona Flowers unexpectedly roller skates into frame, right besides Scott.
156
157	* EarlyBirdCameo:
158	** A couple of battles have these as freeze frame bonuses at the end.
159	** Another good source of these is the “Interferences” videos, which are meant to be hints or teasers regarding future battles.
160
161	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
162	** The first battles the channel ever released were Live Action (in a style very reminiscent of ERB, but with much lower production value), these are mostly locked away and none of them are considered canon.
163	** Even in the canon battles the style is different when compared to the most recent ones, notably, Crazy Dave vs The Merchant has a free use instrumental (the rest of the battles have custom made beats) and just like Mega Man vs Astro Boy the artstyle is different than the rest.
164
165
166	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Rick Sanchez is an egotistical, intergalactic criminal, mad scientist sociopath, but even HE is not willing to work with nazis, apparently.
167
168
169	* EveryoneHasStandards: Sans claims that even though [[TheSlacker he might be lazy]], it’s nothing compared to [[Franchise.MortalKombat Mortal Kombat]]’s creators, known for milking [[PaletteSwap several characters out of palette swapping sprites.]]
170
171
172	* EvilVersusEvil:
173	** The [[CanonDiscontinuity now non-canon]] Slenderman vs Tall Man.
174
175	** Technically, [[MechanicalAbomination Animatronics]] vs [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Ghosts]] qualifies.
176
177
178	* {{Fanservice}}:
179	** Parodied in Kenny vs Krilin, [[LovableSexManiac Kenny]] is reading a porn magazine titled “[[WordSaladHumor Guarras]] [[SelfParody de]] [[IncrediblyLamePun Fap]]”.
180
181
182	** To some extent, Ramona Flowers, but this might be because her outfit in the battle is inspired by the Scott Pilgrim Video Game (which is already very fan service on its own, thanks to [[Creator.PaulRobertson Paul Robertson's]] pixel art)
183
184
185	* FatAndSkinny: Cyan and Soul are portrayed as this, respectively.
186
187
188	* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Before Krilin’s second verse finishes, it’s revealed that the Kenny he’s been rapping at is just a cardboard cut out, while a shadowy, purple figure roams the background.
189
190
191	* FlippingTheBird: Rick Sanchez does this, as well as Cyancoat’s credits drawing in Scott Pilgrim vs Boyfriend (This is because he appears in the place of Kim Pine, who does this in the [[Videogame/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorldTheGame source material’s game]])
192
193	* ForeShadowing: Both the freeze-frame bonuses at the end of the battles and the “Interferences” videos qualify as this, as well as Pacman's mention in Scott Pilgrim vs Boyfriend.
194
195
196	* FreezeFrameBonus: A LOT of them.
197	** [[Videogame.PlantsvsZombies Crazy Dave]]’s Twiddydinkies have several familiar items, including [[Videogame.MegaMan Mega Man’s helmet]], the weapons of each [[Franchise.TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle]] and [[WesternAnimation.StevenUniverse Peridot’s]] Limb Enhancers. (Only one of these ended up becoming a battle in the end, but one never knows what’s scrapped or just in Development Hell.)
198
199
200	** [[Videogame.ResidentEvil4 The Merchant]] briefly opens his coat, revealing some matchups that never came into fruition but were most likely planned at some point.
201
202
203	** [[Videogame.UnderTale Chara’s]] face in Sans vs Scorpion changes into a [[CreepyChild demonic]] [[SlasherSmile smile]] for one single frame.
204
205
206	** In Kenny vs Krilin, Wallsurfer (one of the characters from Cyancoat and the5oul’s other projects) is hidden between the aliens.
207
208
209	** Scott Pilgrim vs Boyfriend features a [[Videogame.MegaMan Mega Man]] Style select screen with each of the Evil Exes and Scott himself, complete with [[ThemeNaming Something-Man names.]]
210
211
212	** The 'Puckman' cabinet features original designs drawn by [[TheCastShowOff the5oul.]]
213
214
215	** Young Neil’s title card, which reads “YOUNG NEIL - SEX BOB-OMB’S BIGGEST FAN. [[CaptainObvious HE’S YOUNG. HE’S NEIL.]]”
216
217
218	** During Scott and Ramona’s last verse, the screen shows a message saying “Scott has obtained the power of understanding (and a new shirt)”. [[MythologyGag This is lifted from the comics.]]
219
220
221	** Rick and Morty are seen besides Wallace. An unidentified character (most likely an OC) is also present during that scene.
222
223
224	** In general, every battle between Rick vs Walter and Kenny vs Krilin has a single frame easter egg in the outro, these can be shitposts or [[ForeShadowing hints for future battles.]]
225
226
227	** The west hall in [[Videogame.FiveNightsAtFreddys Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza]] has [[AudienceParticipation fanarts of the battle made by the audience]] (the original game displayed drawings of the characters).
228
229
230	** Similarly, the Security Room has crude drawings that double as [[CreatorInJoke inside jokes]] and [[CallBack references to the previous battles]], even though these are almost impossible to see properly in the battle (we know what they are thanks to [[https://twitter.com/GuerrasDeRap/status/1453096165361258497 behind the scenes images]]).
231
232
233	* FunnyBackgroundEvent:
234	** In Crazy Dave vs The Merchant, [[Franchise.ResidentEvil Leon S. Kennedy]] is seen briefly as he [[DemotedToExtra runs through the screen, behind the Merchant.]]
235
236	** During Crazy Dave’s second verse he is seen dabbing in a blink-and-you-miss-it moment during a transition.
237
238	** Megaman’s “NOW I’VE GOT YOUR POWER” during his weapons showcase.
239
240	** When [[ComicBook.ScottPilgrim Scott Pilgrim]] delivers the corny “Puckman” line, Wallace is seen face-palming in the background. [[CringeComedy Both the cornyness of the line and Wallace’s reaction are extremely in character.]]
241
242	** It’s a bit difficult to notice due to the camera’s movement, but Girlfriend jumps when she hears the thunder, and Boyfriend winces [[Videogame.FridayNightFunkin just like in the game.]]
243
244	** [[DemotedToExtra Pac-Man]] gets distracted by Clyde’s rap in Animatronics vs Ghosts, but runs away when he notices Inky approaching… only to get ambushed by Blinky and die anyway.
245
246
247	* FunWithSubtitles: They have a lot of fun with the typography, an element admittedly inspired by the band Falconshield.
248
249
250	* GroinAttack:
251	** [[OneHitKill Saitama]] gives one to a naked Doctor Manhattan clone, which just [[BloodyHilarious disintegrates on the spot.]]
252
253	** Boyfriend’s famous [[ShareTheMalePain blue balls]] also qualify.
254
255
256	* HeroVsVillainDuet: '''Downplayed.''' Neither Scorpion nor Doctor Manhattan are straight up villains (Manhattan is a deconstruction of super heroes who, despite doing horrible things, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality does not really grasp concepts such as evil or good]], while Scorpion is a neutral third party who can be in [[AntiHero either side depending of the circumstances]]), however, both of their battles are against more righteous opponents (Sans and Saitama), framing the matches as this in some ways.
257
258
259	* HalloweenEpisode: [[ScarySkeleton Sans vs Scorpion]] and [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Animatronics vs Ghosts]] are explicitly stated to be these.
260
261	* HypocriticalHumor:
262	** Seeing [[TheMostWanted Rick Sanchez]] and [[ClandestineChemist Walter White]] arguing about who is the better person becomes this a bit, considering they’re both horrible criminals.
263
264	** Boyfriend, a character who originated from an indie Website/{{NewGrounds}} game, telling Scott and Ramona to go “back to 2005”.
265
266	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Invoked by Walter White, when he says he did the stuff he did [[BlatantLies because of his family.]]
267
268	* JawDrop: Lampshaded by [[FriendlyGhost Clyde]], his rap apparently has this effect on people (and Pac-Man himself)
269
270	* {{Jerkass}}: [[WesternAnimation.RickAndMorty Rick Sanchez]]. Can’t say it’s not accurate.
271
272	* KilledMidSentence: Happens twice to Kenny and once to Krilin.
273
274	* {{Leitmotif}}: Most battles have this, except for a few notable exceptions.
275	** Mega Man: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJRoRt155mA Dr. Wily's stage theme from Mega Man 2]]
276	** Astro Boy: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlYAedB6haU the opening from his 2003 series.]]
277	** Rick Sanchez: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6TUs69Cw94 Rick and Morty's opening theme]]
278	** Walter White: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilfYnhXD-bE Breaking Bad theme]]
279	** Sans: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDgQdr8ZkTw Megalovania by Toby Fox]], of course.
280	** Scorpion: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr1bLLvsbh0 Techno Syndrome]] (aka the Mortal Kombat theme)
281	** Saitama: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QImBolnTVH8 The Hero by JAM Project]] (One Punch Man's Season 1 Opening)
282	** Doctor Manhattan: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQmVrEAIwfU "Pruit Igoe and Prophecies" by Philip Glass]] (a theme that was abscribed to the character in the Watchmen movie)
283	** Kenny: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9fLUKrHOTA the South Park theme by Primus]] (specifically the credits version)
284	** Krilin: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg2NUP2P_i4 Makafujushi Adventure!]] (the first Dragon Ball Opening, the arrangement in the actual battle suggests it might actually be based upon the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hbd1QeI1Og Latin American dub]] of the song)
285	** Animatronics: An arrangement of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhKlCp5Sh9I Freddy's song from the first game]] (which in itself is a music box arrangement of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fDkxQBjgFU Toreador song]])
286	** Ghosts: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnf0q1zOTXs The Pac-Man jingle]], of course.
287	** Star-Lord: Not an actual arrangement, but vocal parts of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrI-UBIB8Jk Hooked on a Feeling]] are sampled through his verses.
288
289
290	* LetsGetDangerous: Unlike other shows of similar format, characters can start throwing hands rather quickly.
291
292	* ManOfAThousandVoices:
293	** Ticci has been in four battles so far, and in all of them he does a different voice. A notable mention goes to his Scott Pilgrim voice which sounds almost identical to the Latin American dub of [[Film.ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld Scott Pilgrim vs The World]]
294
295	** Cyan qualifies too, he does the voices of ''everyone'' in Walter White vs Rick Sanchez, as well as Sans, Crazy Dave and ''[[LarynxDissonance Pinky]]'', amongst others.
296
297	* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent:
298	** During the Animatronics’ presentation, they can be seen moving before the camera cuts away.
299	** Golden Freddy shows up during the “IT’S ME” line.
300	** Purple Guy walks into frame during the 8 bit section with Foxy, but only his legs are visible as the scene cuts away.
301
302
303	* MicDrop: Boyfriend gives Girlfriend the last line of the battle and then does this. Interestingly enough, this is a deviation from [[Videogame.FridayNightFunkin the source material]], which only has unintentional mic drops (after Boyfriend is defeated).
304
305
306	* {{Mooks}}: Zombies in Crazy Dave vs The Merchant kind of serve as cannon fodder. It does not stop the title characters from fighting each other, though.
307
308
309	* MythologyGag: Sans' subtitles are in, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Comic Sans]], and in {{all lowercase letters}}. He is also introduced as “The Skeletal [[{{Pun}} Comic, Sans]]” to drive the point further.
310
311
312	* NightmareFace: [[CreepyChild Chara's]] cameo in Sans vs Scorpion (Scorpion’s skull form also qualifies)
313
314	* OutOfGenreExperience: Despite the show strictly being called “Rap Wars”, a lot of the battles dabble in different musical styles.
315	** Saitama vs Doctor Manhattan incorporates a lot of Rock elements, especially on Saitama’s parts (thanks to his {{leitmotif}}.)
316	** Kenny vs Krilin has a more jazzy, laid back feel to it.
317	** Boyfriend vs Scott Pilgrim mixes crunchy indie rock with bass-heavy rap beats.
318	** Animatronics vs Ghosts has a trap-like sound, mixed with chiptune and glitch effects.
319
320	* PedoHunt:
321	** Used in Slenderman vs Tall Man, against both sides, actually.
322	** Saitama calls out Doctor Manhattan on this.
323	** Scott Pilgrim starts his story by [[WhatTheHellHero grooming a 17 year old girl]]. Boyfriend does not let go of this fact.
324
325	* PlayingWithFire: Scorpion, naturally.
326
327	* ProductPlacement: '''Inverted.''' Where a brand name would usually go, [[WritingAroundTrademarks “GDR” is put in its place.]]
328
329	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
330	** Once the battle gets going, Boyfriend focuses on deconstructing and attacking every apparent character flaw of Scott Pilgrim, from his [[ManChild refusal to grow up and admit his mistakes]], to all of his past relationships turning out badly because of his attitude.
331	** Scorpion also gives Sans one of these, to a lesser extent. He calls him an honorless coward who just stood there watching as everyone else got killed.
332
333	* RedOniBlueOni:
334	** Saitama vs Doctor Manhattan
335	** Although the colors don’t exactly match, Sans vs Scorpion.
336
337	* {{Retraux}}: Several examples, mostly applied to gaming characters (Mega Man, the Pac-Man Ghosts and the FNAF Animatronics)
338
339	* RunningGag: The credits of most battles feature cartoon renditions of the people involved with the battle, but dressed as characters from the IP’s featured (sometimes in an [[StylisticSuck intentionally crude manner)]].
340
341	* ScreamingWarrior: While not exactly ‘screaming’, Scorpion delivers his verses with certain intensity.
342
343	* ShoutOut: Kenny vs Krilin and Scott Pilgrim vs Boyfriend feature drawings previously used in [[WebVideo Freshy Kanal.]]
344
345	* SiblingIncest: Astro Boy uses this as a diss towards Mega Man, involving the latter’s sister Roll.
346
347	* SlasherSmile: [[CreepyChild Chara.]]
