[[folder:Dante vs. Bayonetta]]
* First battle of Season 3, and even before the fight itself, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBn1o9ek8Tk the reveal]] was incredible. [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome The 3D animation looks gorgeous]], and then there's the reveal of Bayonetta's opponent- none other than the one and only [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]].
-->'''Bayonetta:''' ''Another wandering lost soul, I see.''
-->'''Dante:''' ''Lost? Nah. I'm looking for something called the Left Eye. Care to give me a hand? Could be fun.''
-->'''Bayonetta:''' ''Hmph. I see. [[PreAssKickingOneLiner But if you're looking for the Left Eye, that would either make you an angel...]]'' *opens fire on Dante and removes her nun disguise* ''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner or a demon.]]''
-->'''FIGHT!'''
* -and as soon as the fight itself begins, it's incredibly fast-paced and exciting with crazy feats from both combatants- including Dante ''[[NowThatsUsingYourTeeth catching one of Bayonetta's bullets in his teeth]]'', Bayonetta using [[TimeMaster Witch Time]] to gain an edge, and Dante not even flinching as [[EldritchAbomination Gomorrah]] appears behind him to attack.
* As with previous giant demons he's faced, Dante shrugs off being eaten by Gomorrah and [[spoiler:brings the beast down to size with a few swipes.]]
* Dante and Bayonetta answer the question of [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure "How long can you move in the frozen time?"]] when the former activates Quicksilver DURING Witch Time.
* [[spoiler:The surprise appearance of Trish and Jeanne fighting alongside their respective allies in a short bout of tag team action.]]
* The finale, which is one big ShoutOut to the falling clock tower introduction from the original ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}''. [[spoiler:Dante and Bayonetta power up with [[OneWingedAngel Devil Trigger]] and [[SuperMode Umbran Climax]] respectively before engaging each other for the last time:]]
* [[spoiler:Dante uses Gilgamesh to block Bayonetta's Wicked Weaves, forcing Bayonetta to [[GodzillaThreshold summon Madama Butterfly.]] Madama charges a punch capable of destroying a meteor (and clocked in at 10000 Gigatons of force) and attempts to finish Dante off, only for him to block it, stop time with Quicksilver, clone himself with Doppelganger and stun her before taking out Yamato and [[OffWithHisHead beheading her]] in a SingleStrokeBattle. Even Bayonetta cannot contain her surprise!]]
* [[spoiler:The two then clash in a katana duel which ends in a CrossCounter when both sides stab each other in the gut. They each pause and exit their powered-up forms, leaving the fight up in the air... before Bayonetta drops Love is Blue and recoils as Yamato is embedded in her stomach. On the other hand, a relatively healthy Dante takes out Lucifer with Shuraba still stuck in his body and [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice repeatedly impales her]] before tossing a rose at Yamato's hilt to [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill set off the swords and blow Bayonetta up.]] Game, set and match.]]
* The third season opener has [[spoiler: Dante]] make history in Death Battle by [[spoiler: being the first official male combatant to defeat a female one (if you exclude Yoshi vs Riptor (they aren't humanoid, plus Riptor's gender wasn't released until years after the fight; Death Battle also believed she was male) and Otacon vs Grimm (they weren't the official combatants)]].
* As always, the 3D animation continues to improve with each fight. This is easily the best looking fight the show has produced thus far; a good way to kick the new season off.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Bowser vs Ganon]]
* Right from the get go, the fact that this fight is a showdown between two of the most well-known villains in video game history and arguably the two most iconic [[BigBad Big Bads]] of Nintendo who have both been long-requested to appear on the show is awesome by itself.
* Ganondorf's method of getting into Bowser's castle deserves mention: he hid ''inside'' the Triforce of Power and let Bowser's minions bring it to him, manifesting once he was in front of the Koopa King.
* [[spoiler: Ganon killing Bowser in his giant form by seemingly letting Bowser swallow his magic, which proceeds to decay the Koopa King's body, ultimately causing it to shatter and leave beind only his skeleton which Ganon explodes shortly after is as brutal as one would expect from the Demon King.]]
* And even though he didn't win, the fact that [[spoiler: Bowser]] doesn't lose any spark or ferocity after [[spoiler: ''[[EyeScream having his eye impaled by a freaking trident]]'' and is even seen celebrating normally afterwards when he thinks he ate Ganon in spite of it is definitely pretty impressive.]]
* The scene where Ganondorf tries to use his famous Dead Man's Volley technique against Bowser, which results in [[spoiler: Bowser picking up his tennis racket and reflecting them like Link does using his sword, and ultimately spinning in his shell to send four of them back at the Demon King when he starts to hurl more at him.]] The fact they managed to make [[spoiler: Bowser's skill with sports awesome]] AND have it correspond with one of Ganon's famous techniques to create a badass fight scene is really cool.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Ratchet and Clank vs Jak and Daxter]]
* Props again to the show for tackling this long-requested match between these two Playstation rivals!
* [[spoiler: Jak launches Ratchet in the air with his Mass Inverter, juggles him further and attempts to finish him off with the Supernova... which Ratchet blocks with one of his forcefields.]]
--> '''Jak:''' ''[[PreMortemOneLiner Rest in pieces.]]''
* [[spoiler: Not to be outdone, Ratchet and Clank fly towards a Vulcan Fury-toting Jak, dodging all his gunfire before surrounding him with a group of mini-turrets.]]
--> '''Jak:''' ''Any more weapons you want to throw at me?''
--> '''Ratchet:''' ''[[TemptingFate Like I need any more!]]''
--> ''*The turrets open fire on Jak until he transforms into [[SuperMode Dark Jak]] and destroys all of them with Dark Bomb*''
--> '''Ratchet:''' ''Hmmm... maybe just one more. *Takes out [[{{BFG}} the RYNO V]]*''
* Clank ''kicking'' The RYNO V in Giant Dark Jak's face, putting an end to that SuperMode quickly. To quote the research team for this episode, "RYNO to the face" indeed.
* The final part of the battle as both sides going all out to the tune of the 1812 overture blaring in the background.
* Clank [[spoiler: [[NoSell No Selling]] Jak's Flash Freeze.]]
* How [[spoiler: Ratchet killed Jak]]? [[spoiler: Jak used his Light Jak form to slow down time in order to leave Ratchet open to a lazer attack... [[SpannerInTheWorks only Clank wasn't affected]]. Clank then gave Ratchet the ability to move normally where he brought up a shield to deflect the attack and used the Liquid Nitrogen gun to freeze him alive before smashing both Jak and Daxter to pieces]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Flash vs. Quicksilver]]
* Just to drive home how insanely fast these two combatants are, the fight only takes a matter of seconds in-universe, enough time for Quicksilver and Flash to meet while a woman falls from a burning building, race across the United States while fighting each other, cross the Pacific Ocean to reach Japan, and for the winner to run ALL the way back in time to catch the falling woman. No time travel, no slowing the flow of time, just PURE speed.
* Flash countering Quicksilver's tornado. Extra points to the fact he turns it from blue to red.
* Flash [[spoiler: revealing just how much he's been holding back before dragging Quicksilver into the Speed Force and finishing the job in a matter of real-world seconds.]] Not to mention Flash's BadassBoast before [[spoiler: he owns Quicksilver]].
--> '''Flash:''' You're in the Speed Force. ''My'' Speed Force. I'm sure you feel it, the raw energy coursing all around you. This is the source of my power. And here... [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I... am.... KING!]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Joker vs. Sweet Tooth]]
* Joker makes Death Battle history by being the first combatant to [[spoiler:pull a two-win streak for his franchise two episodes in a ROW. While other franchises have had consecutive wins in their featured episodes, like Killer Instinct with Orchid and Fulgore, Joker's episode debuted back to back with Flash Vs Quicksilver, making the DCU the first time in death battle history to have the same franchise win twice in two consecutive episodes]].
* The first thing we see Joker do in this fight is successfully steal the Batmobile. Usually when villains steal Batman's ride, some sort of countermeasures end up stopping them-- not this time.
* The "Jokermobile", [[spoiler: completely WRECKED by the Sweet Tooth. In fact the only time the Sweet Tooth is even slowed down during the entire fight is when Joker manages to shoot out one of its tires, and even then the Sweet Bot form was completely unaffected.]]
* Joker managing to [[spoiler:convince Needles to come out of his Sweet Bot and match him face-to-face when, otherwise, Joker would've been turned into paste. Instead, he completely lopsides the battle in his favor and kills Sweet Tooth a la Joker Venom. Making this more impressive? Up until this moment, the fight had been a CurbstompBattle in Needles' favour. Joker completely turned a losing fight around with only ONE MagnificentBastard moment.]] For added awesome? [[spoiler:The Joker does the above after ''being impaled'' and more or less shrugging it off.]]
* The fact that Needles [[spoiler:held out as long as he did against the Joker Venom. Usually its effects are instantaneous, but Needles manages to make the attempt to strangle the Joker to death before he winds up succumbing to the gas]].
* [[spoiler:Joker was the first DC villain to have won his Death Battle. Over the likes of Deathstroke and Lex Luthor. Who would've seen that coming?]]
* Most Death Battles are settled through brute force or just by out gambling the opponent while fighting them, [[spoiler:Joker won solely because ''he used psychology to his advantage!'' And it's not like Joker fought Sweet Tooth and then tricked him, no. Joker was having his ass handed to him throughout the fight, but managed to turn things around by ''appealing'', instead of resisting, his opponent's ideals and then using it against him. No wonder he's Batman's arch-nemesis.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Mewtwo vs. Shadow]]
* Mewtwo gets to drop a hell of a PreAsskickingOneLiner to start the fight:
--> '''Mewtwo:''' You are not welcome here. ''[[TranquilFury Leave this place.]]''
--> '''Shadow:''' What's your problem, freak?!
--> '''Mewtwo:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I know not its name. But it is black, red, and VERY annoying.]]
* Mewtwo manages to [[spoiler:defeat Super Shadow by erasing his memories, causing him to forget what he was doing, and allowing him to force him out of his SuperMode- then impale him through the chest with its Psywave Spoon. This also makes it the second character to have beaten Super Shadow in a fight, right after Vegeta, and even references said fight with its PreMortemOneLiner-]]
--> '''Mewtwo:''' ''[[CallBack Sayonara.]]''
* Mewtwo [[spoiler: manages to NoSell all of Shadow's non-Chaos Emerald boosted attacks, all with a BadassArmFold and not even having to ''move'' for most of the fight. It takes Chaos Control to for Shadow to even land a single blow on it.]]
* [[spoiler:While he did get curbstomped]], special mention must go to Shadow making ''[[BloodKnight Mewtwo]]'' of all people have an "OhCrap" moment, after the Genetic Pokemon reads his mind and realizes [[TimeStandsStill what he was about to do]], [[YouAreTooLate but being too late to stop it]].
* Just the fact that [[spoiler:Mewtwo only had to wipe Shadow's mind to defeat him. [[WeatherManipulation It could have created a massive hurricane]], [[YourHeadAsplode blown up his head with Psystrike]], [[WaveMotionGun vaporized him with a Hyper Beam]], or something just as overkill, but nope- all it had to do was just incapacitate its opponent and finish him off as quickly as possible from there]]. Just goes to show how powerful the victor was, that they didn't even ''need'' to use their strongest abilities to win.
* This battle was shy of '''two minutes''', with [[spoiler:Mewtwo]] being in control for most of the battle, with the exception of the moment when [[spoiler:Shadow used Chaos Control, which made Mewtwo sure wouldn't happen again.]] While most Death Battles have elements of it, this battle ''defines'' CurbstompBattle.
* And just for the icing on the cake, [[spoiler:Mewtwo's victory over Shadow is the first time that a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' character has managed to win a ''Death Battle'', excluding the Battle Royale where [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Blastoise, Venusaur and Charizard]] fought each other to the death in Season 2.]]
* The preview for the next Death Battle, [[spoiler: which doubles as ScrewAttack’s contribution to ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' Season 14.]]
--> '''Grif:''' Hey.
--> '''Simmons:''' Yeah?
--> '''Grif:''' You ever wonder…[[CoolVersusAwesome who would win in a fight between Carolina and The Meta?]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Meta vs. Agent Carolina]]
* Carolina's attempt to use all of her armor enhancements at once is stopped ''cold'' by the Meta. She uses her SuperSpeed to take off towards him fist first, and he doesn't even flinch, using Wyoming's [[TimeStandsStill temporal distortion unit]] to pause her mere inches before she hits him, all with a OneWomanWail in the background. Church's dawning horror on what is about to happen next really sells how ''unstoppable'' the Meta is known to be.
* After spending most of the fight being mercilessly beaten, [[spoiler: Carolina manages to kill the Meta by blowing his head off with his own Brute Shot after he is distracted by Epsilon.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Cammy White vs. Sonya Blade]]
* The whole reason the fight starts is because [[spoiler: Sonya kills Kano, who Cammy was trying to capture, by crushing his entire head under her foot.]]
* Sonya gets to drop this PreAsskickingOneLiner before starting the fight:
--> '''Sonya:''' Spoiler Alert: You lose, from my foot to your ass.
** [[spoiler: She's not wrong.]]
* At one point during the fight, Sonya [[spoiler: picks up Kano's dead body and hurls it at Cammy.]]
* The ending, where [[spoiler: Sonya performs an X-ray on the wounded Cammy before using her legs to rip her in half.]] Doubles as NightmareFuel due to [[spoiler: Cammy struggling and failing to resist it.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Tracer vs. Scout]]
* Tracer showing off her Blink ability by repeatedly warping around Scout while he's trying to shoot her with his [[SawedOffShotgun Scattergun]], even striking silly dramatic poses each time she does it to annoy him. It takes major gusto to basically say [[TooSlow "you're too slow!"]] to someone as fast and profound in the ways of killing as Scout.
* After neutralising Tracer's first Pulse Bomb using his [[InvincibilityPowerUp Bonk! Atomic Punch]], the Scout gets a particularly cool PreAssKickingOneLiner in to the very-much surprised Tracer--
-->'''Scout:''' Supposedly, this stuff'll liquefy your oesophagus after just one can. But, y'know-- it's also ''very'' handy when you feel like...not getting blown up.
-->'''Tracer:''' That's not very fair!
-->'''Scout:''' Listen, sweetheart... [Takes out his Bat] I...''never play fair.''
* And then it's topped off by Scout's UnflinchingWalk as Tracer shoots at him with her Pulse Pistols. The shots just bounce off him as he just confidently and nonchalantly swaggers over to her with his [[BatterUp aluminium bat]] slung over his shoulder, getting himself in close enough to bring it into play.
* Then later on, after [[spoiler:being badly-injured from being launched by the Home Run kill taunt and finding herself being taunted by Scout as he prepares to kill her with his Pistol, Tracer turns the tables on the Boston merc in a similarly-awesome fashion using her Recall ability]]--
-->'''Scout:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Alright, doll. Fun's over.]]
-->'''Tracer:''' Not yet, mate. ''[[CatchPhrase The Cavalry's here!]]'' [[[spoiler:Rewinds time for herself using Recall, avoiding Scout's bullet]]]
* Finally, there's how [[spoiler:Tracer]] finishes off [[spoiler:Scout]]. After launching [[spoiler:him]] into the air using [[spoiler:a series of [[TeleportSpam fast teleporting kicks]] from her Chronal Accelerator, Tracer kicks the Scout into a pile of debris. He gets up and goes for his Bonk! Atomic Punch to become invincible again, but Tracer catches him and steals it out of his hand-- finishing Scout off by warping behind him and slapping a [[StickyBomb Pulse Bomb onto his back whilst he's distracted]], completely atomizing him ([[DeadHatShot except for his hat]]) in the resulting explosion]]. Boom, that's all she wrote.
-->'''[[spoiler:Tracer]]:''' [[spoiler:Not ''this'' time, yankee!]]
* After the likes of [[spoiler:Harry Potter, Ivy Valentine]] and [[spoiler:Cammy White]] all previously failed at doing so, [[spoiler:Tracer becoming the first British character to win a ''Death Battle'']] definitely has to count.
* Whilst they lost the fight granted, [[spoiler:[[BadassNormal Scout]]]] earns one in the sheer fact that [[spoiler:he put up a decent fight against an opponent who was at the very least ''a hundred years'' ahead of him in terms of technological prowess, and had [[StoryBreakerPower time-manipulation powers]] to boot]]. [[spoiler:He even comes close to outright ''killing'' Tracer at one point, which speaks volumes about [[MugglesDoItBetter what he's capable of despite being relatively outclassed]] for the most part.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Ken Masters vs. Terry Bogard]]
* Just the animation. One of the best in the history of the show. Shows how much Jetz (the animator) have improved since Cammy vs Sonya-- which is doubly impressive, since Cammy vs. Sonya was already considered one of the best looking 2D Death Battles at the time.
* Ken gets one for having the [[JustForPun cockiness]] to execute a flaming-fist GroinAttack on Terry, who in return gets one for having the [[JustForPun balls]] to continue the fight after being inconvenienced for a moment.
* Both Ken and Terry clashing punches in an PummelDuel that started destroying the dojo they were fighting in. Terry gets the upper hand by kicking Ken into the ground, leaving him spitting up blood. While Ken is dazed and exhausted, Terry goes in for the kill [[spoiler: and Ken pulls off a perfectly-timed Shoryuken.]]
* When Terry finally [[LetsGetDangerous gets serious]], he fires a Hakkyokuseiken-charged Power Geyser across the floor. [[spoiler: It goes straight through Ken's [[KamehameHadoken Shinku Hadouken]] and immobilizes him for the rest of the fight.]] Which leads to Ken's final moment of awesome [[spoiler: before his death. '''He's still standing'''. The Power Geyser has enough power to demolish a skyscraper, and while he's clearly severely wounded by it, Ken remains on his feet, albeit unsteadily, until Terry finishes him off.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Amy Rose vs. Ramona Flowers]]
* Ramona pulling Amy into her Subspace Suitcase is one of the coolest Death Battle fight sequences of season 3. Amy gets sucked into Ramona's mind, which basically guarantees the home field advantage for her opponent, but after her initial shock, all she does is point her hammer at Ramona past all of her emotional duplicates. [[spoiler: It reaches a high point when Ramona casually walks off to let her clones handle things, only hear a loud crash and see Amy still standing, with all of her clones falling down to earth.]]
* Given all the hype Boomstick builds for Amy creating tornadoes by swinging her hammer, it's only natural for it to get special attention during the fight. [[spoiler: In fact, when it finally comes out, Amy basically ''wins the fight'' with it, battering Ramona with arcade machines within its vacuum and tossing her into a wall, leaving her dazed enough for Amy to squash her with a cabinet.]]
* A meta example: after [[spoiler: Amy's shoddy performance against King Dedede back on DBX]], you'd expect her to get the same treatment as either [[spoiler: Knuckles or Shadow]]. But nope: not only does she hold her own against [[spoiler: Ramona]], but even though [[spoiler: Ramona]] controls the fight when she [[spoiler: uses her bag]], [[spoiler: Amy]] takes control back from her and delivers the coup de grace. In other words, [[spoiler: Amy TookALevelInBadass]]!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Hulk vs. Doomsday]]
* At one point, Hulk rips a police car in half and uses the pieces as [[ImprovisedWeapon makeshift boxing gloves]] to smack Doomsday around.
* Hulk's [[ShockwaveClap Thunderclap]] is strong enough to stun Doomsday into place [[spoiler: for a few seconds, until Doomsday ''breaks his hand''.]]
* Hulk goes full Worldbreaker and [[spoiler: ''crushes Doomsday's arm''! Sure, Doomsday's HealingFactor fixes him up again, but for anyone to inflict that kind of injury on the monster that killed Superman is impressive.]]
-->'''Hulk:''' You break buildings good. But Hulk break WORLDS!
* Finally, [[spoiler: Doomsday takes the win by impaling Worldbreaker Hulk several times with his detachable, poisonous bone claws, overtaxing his HealingFactor further with a flurry of punches, and then [[OffWithHisHead rips the head off]] of (possibly) the most powerful being in the entire Marvel Universe.]] Wow. This also means that Death Battle [[spoiler:finally broke a long standing tradition by being the first time a [[TheBadGuyWins definitive villain manages to kill the hero]] [[note]]Godzilla and Scorpion tend to be ambiguous {{Anti Hero}}es[[/note]]]].
* For those who sometimes find the explanation behind the outcome a little lacking, this episode explains [[ShownTheirWork in detail]] multiple reasons why [[spoiler:Doomsday wins]]. It's such a close match that Wiz and Boomstick spend much longer than they normally do (with the exception of [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny Goku VS Superman]]) citing multiple instances from both home series which explain how they reached the decision.

* For those who sometimes find the explanation behind the outcome a little lacking, this episode explains [[ShownTheirWork in detail]] multiple reasons why [[spoiler:Doomsday wins]]. Wiz and Boomstick spend almost 3 minutes, longer than they've ever spent on an explanation (with the exception of [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny Goku VS Superman]] citing multiple instances from both home series which explain how they reached the decision.

--> [[spoiler:'''Mewtwo:''']] ''[[CallBack Sayonara.]]''

** Actually, Mind-wiping IS Mewtwo's strongest ability, and without it, he would have no way of stopping Super Shadow from destroying him. It's not a curb-stomp battle at all, it's more a battle of 'who goes for their win condition first?', with Mewtwo's being mind-wiping Shadow and Shadow's being stopping time as Super Shadow. Nothing else would work on both sides: Shadow is more than fast enough to avoid Mewtwo's attacks (and teleportation helps), while Mewtwo can easily keep Shadow at bay with his telekinesis and barriers, and both would result in a Death Blow (Without his barriers and telekinesis able to protect him, Mewtwo would fall to the vastly stronger and faster Super Shadow's attacks fairly quickly when time is stopped, while having his Mind-wiped would completely remove Shadow's ability to fight, Super Shadow be damned. [[spoiler: Mewtwo was just quicker to whip out his win condition.]]
