Characters present in the song The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny by Lemon Demon with the music video animation that accompanies it. As the trope namer of Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, it should go without saying that the characters are taken from other series.

Referred to in the Song
Godzilla
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: He is the massive threat that started the battle royale in the first place.
- Extreme Omnivore: Bit off Optimus Prime's head like a chocolate bar, even though Prime is inedible.
- Kaiju: A towering monster from his own self-titled franchise who terrorizes Tokyo city.
- Killed Offscreen: The last time we see him in the original animation, he's already dead. How he died is not seen or shown to us, though it might be possible he was merely knocked unconscious.
Batman
- Car Fu: How he took care of Shaq and Aaron Carter, though it didn't keep the former down. Subverted in the 2021 remake, as it's being driven by someone else as this happens.
- Clark Kenting: He changed back to Bruce Wayne in the middle of the fight, but Chuck Norris easily saw through his disguise.
- Combat Pragmatist: He snuck up on Godzilla and threw a grenade at his foot, ran over Shaq and Aaron Carter, and he stole Indy's gun to use it himself.
- Made of Iron: Survived being shot by Abraham Lincoln.
- Shout-Out: When he changes back to Bruce Wayne in the anniversary collab, he does the transformation sequence of Kamen Rider Decade
- Ungrateful Bastard: First, he runs Shaq down even after he helped him against Godzilla, then, he steals Indiana Jones' gun after he saved him from Abraham Lincoln.
Shaquille O'Neal (Shaq)
- Diving Save: Makes his entrance by diving in to stop Godzilla as the kaiju gets angry and begins his rampage.
- I Know Madden Kombat: Fights Godzilla using Shaq Fu.
- Made of Iron: Survived being ran over by the Batmobile.
Aaron Carter
- Good Old Fisticuffs: He repeatedly sends his fists into Shaq, beating him up until Batman runs them over with his Batmobile.
- Pretty Boy: The original animation has him wearing earrings and wink as he tackles Shaq. The redux has him wear a flowing coat under a white shirt and black long pants to add to his physical appeal.
Abraham Lincoln
- Back from the Dead: He came back as a zombie for the fight.
- Historical Badass Upgrade: Here, he's a gun-toting, machete-wielding zombie.
- Magic Hat: Where he got his AK-47 from.
- Our Zombies Are Different: He is more intelligent than a regular zombie, being able to use blades and guns.
- Two-Faced: Angel Ruvalcaba's rendition of him in the redux animation has this look, with one side surprisingly normal for a zombie over a century-and-a-half old, and the other skeletal.
Optimus Prime
- Adaptation Expansion: He is given scenes fighting Godzilla in the anniversary collab.
- Giant Robot: He is a Cybertronian who towers over Batman.
- Honor Before Reason: More concerned with saving other people, which leads to his defeat.
- Off with His Head!: By Godzilla, who bites off his head. Although it's implied that he's still alive, just decommissioned.
- Token Good Teammate: He has no interest in fighting, instead he tries to keep the civilians safe (as seen when he tries to shore up a building that Godzilla tries to knock down with his tail).
- Transforming Mecha: We don't see him transform into his alternate mode in the original video or its redux animation, but owing to the kibble and where he's from, he can transform as and when he wants; it's probably because he didn't want to or he does and we don't see it.
Jackie Chan
- Awesome, but Impractical: Deflecting bullets with his fist and doing random somersaults is impressive, but it doesn't get him very far.
- Colossus Climb: He climbed up Shaq's back.
- Invulnerable Knuckles: He managed to deflect a bullet with his fist.
- Unnecessary Combat Roll: When he jumped up in the air, he did a somersault, only to crash into a pole-vaulting Abe Lincoln and bear the brunt of a Care Bear stare while he's down.
Indiana Jones
- Big Damn Heroes: He and his whip show up just in time to save Batman from Abe Lincoln.
- Eyes Always Shut: We don't see him open his eyes at all in the original animated video.
- Groin Attack: Chuck Norris kicks him in the groin, leaving him incapacitated.
- Shout-Out: He reaches for his gun...only to find it isn't on his body, à la Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
- Weapon Specialization: His primary weapon is a whip.
Care Bear
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: The Care Bear Stare, which took out both Jackie Chan and Abe Lincoln.
Chuck Norris
- Cherubic Choir: His entrance has a choir of angels announcing his arrival. It's noted they summoned him for help.
- Groin Attack: Delivers a bone-shattering kick to Indiana Jones's groin.
- Murderous Thighs: Crushes Batman in between his thighs.
- Not So Invincible After All: Gets defeated when multiple combatants gang up on him. Although it's implied he didn't go down easy.
Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White and Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight and Benito Mussolini and the Blue Meanie and Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie. RoboCop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk and Darth Vader. Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger. Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan.
- Badass Crew: A massive crew of pop culture icons who team up to defeat Chuck Norris.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: The whole lot of them easily destroys Chuck Norris.
- Decomposite Character: Somehow, Gandalf the Grey and the White are depicted as two different characters.
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: They managed to defeat
Chuck Norris. - Enemy Mine: Any number of them would be unlikely to work together, but then they decide that Chuck Norris is going down.
- Killed Offscreen: Most of them died in the fight that "raged on for a century" referenced at the end of the song, though their deaths are not seen and they're already dead by the end of the last verse.
- Too Many Cooks Spoil the Soup: Averted. Their combined strength was enough to take down Chuck Norris.
Civilian
- Innocent Bystander: He is simply a witness to the event.
- No Name Given: We don't learn the name of the civilian.
Mr. Rogers in a blood-stained sweater
- Beware the Nice Ones: Out of all the combatants, the winner of the battle is a polite and soft-spoken kids show host.
- Dark Horse Victory: Who expected a saint like Mr. Rogers to survive, let alone win?
- Driven to Suicide: In the music videos, seemingly over the guilt of being the last one alive.
- Feel No Pain: After running himself through with a sword, his only reaction to doing so is to start dancing around with a smile on his face.
- Inexplicably Awesome: Of course, being the victor of the ultimate showdown despite being an ordinary human among various powerful beings. Even moreso in the redux animation, where he suddenly has the ability to fly.
- Seppuku: Shoves a sword into his midsection after he emerges the victor.
- Stuff Blowing Up: His ultimate fate in the redux animation, where he flies up into the sky before exploding into the "The End" frame.
- Survivor's Guilt: Being a famously gentle soul, his victory in the Ultimate Showdown drives him to shed a Single Tear for the fallen and kill himself.
Only in the Videos
Robin
- Camp Gay: Played for Laughs, possibly as a reference to certain controversies surrounding him and Batman in the past. This is dropped in the anniversary collab, as he is just dozing off on the couch then.
Mario
- Good Old Fisticuffs: Tries to beat up Sonic with his fists. The original animation ends up having him look like he's doing a slap fight, though.
Sonic
- Good Old Fisticuffs: Tries to beat up Mario with his fists. The original animation makes him look like he's slapping his rival, though.
DeLorean
- Cool Car: This car can travel through time and look cool while doing it, gadgets and all.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: It time travels away after hitting Santa Claus and is never seen again.
Jawa
- Grievous Harm with a Body: Used pieces of C3PO to beat up R2D2.
Lowtax
- Call-Back: The previous time in 2005 Lemon Demon and Shawn Vulliez collaborated, he appeared in the video for "Ebaums World Dot Com", where he "came along, punched [Eric Bauman] in the face and banged his mom".
- One-Hit Kill: Defeats Eric Bauman with a single punch.
Eric Bauman
- Call-Back: The subject of the scathing song "Ebaums World Dot Com". And Lowtax punching him in the face was likewise a callback to the music video.
Son Goku
- Flying on a Cloud: He is seen riding his Flying Nimbus.
