History Awesome / DeathBattleSeasonOne

[[caption-width-right:350: [[RatedMForManly The manliest piledriver you will ever witness.]]]]

* Two paragons of [[RatedMForManly Manliness]] falling off a building at terminal velocity while both perform a spinning piledriver on each other. It ends as a swirling ball of Briefs, Boots, Trousers, and Men impacting the ground.

* The fact that Yoshi, an adorable little dinosaur from a cutesy series, basically delivers a CurbstompBattle to Riptor, a terrifying and extremely powerful raptor basically ''bred'' for fighting.

* Leonardo's fighting skills. Not only did he strategize a incredible plan to get all three of his brothers killed. (including [[BadassBookworm Donnie]] and [[BigBrotherBully Ralph]] no less!), but he also managed to defeat an equalily powerful leader of another team, by viewing his surrounding, and sneaking up on Zitz, while killing him. There's a reason why Leo's the leader of TMNT.

* Boomstick sums up the entire match with his famous line: "This is a ''pony''! A baby horse girl toy! ''Why is it so awesome?!''" This very quote is now at the top of the "Awesome" page for MLP Wiki/TVTropes entry.

* More of a Meta, but this fight, of all fights, was the first to surpass 1 million views in death battle's history. Not only that, but Ben Singer (The creator of Death Battle) credits this fight as the one that put Death Battle on the map.

* And as a meta continuation of the above praise for the episode, consider this: less than twenty-four hours after it was originally posted, the number of Facebook recommendations for Goku vs. Superman (~49,000 as of the 21-hour mark) was higher than all the other episodes of Death Battle ''combined'' (~46,426).
* Another meta example for the above, just the sheer amount of research and math they put into determining the limits of their strengths. They've ShownTheirWork before, but this took it UpToEleven.

* Wily sends out Silver Sonic, who Bass immediately takes out with no effort. "Oh Yeah. I'm a badass." You sure are Bass!

* When Wily taunts that his infantry is better, Eggman replies, "No matter. Get a load of this!" [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork Cue the badniks wrecking Wily's infantry.]]

* Vegeta's the first being to ever defeat Super Shadow. In contrast to his [[TheJobber usual role]], it's quite impressive.
