Yoda VS King Mickey

Boomstick talks like Yoda during the beginning of his preview, to Wiz's annoyance.
Boomstick: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a Jedi, there was. Master, he is. Yoda, his name.
Wiz: You're not gonna keep doing that, are you?
Boomstick: Tell me what to do, you can not.
Boomstick delivering a Take That! on the Jedi council becoming embroiled in politics, and noting that they "screwed the porg" on preventing violent conflict.
Wiz and Boomstick on the Clone Wars.
Boomstick: The Clone Wars wasn't just a fantastic series by George Lucas and Dave Filoni, it was also an awesome miniseries by Genndy Tartakovsky.
Wiz: And it was a horrific war that wiped out the Jedi, erased the Republic, and saw the rise of the Empire.
Boomstick: Sure, that too. Spoilers, man.
Wiz refers to the Clone Troopers as disposable people.
Boomstick: Man, that gets really messed up if you think about it too long. So I won't!
Boomstick briefly wonders if Yoda is actually Kermit. Seems someone at Rooster Teeth is a Darths & Droids fan.
He also notes that Qui-Gon Jinn (played by Liam Neeson) was one of the Jedi trained under Yoda, and takes this to mean that Yoda trained Liam Neeson himself. And, by extension, that another Neeson character, Bryan Mills, learned his "particular set of skills" from Yoda. The fact that Boomstick still believes that Qui-Gon Jinn is still just Liam Neeson from "Obi-Wan vs. Kakashi" is a delightful laugh in itself.
At the end of Yoda's preview, after talking about the Jedi technique Tutaminis (how Jedi catch and redirect energy), Boomstick claims he has a similar power called Rubber gluines where he can redirect insults back at people.
Wiz: Oh really?
Boomstick: Yeah, go ahead. Call me anything you want.
Wiz: Okay. You are a childish leech who uses alcoholism as a crutch to seem interesting.
Boomstick: (begins crying) I... What the hell, man?
Wiz: Uh. Oh, what. I'm sorry, wha.
Boomstick: God! You're like the worst person ever! How can you say that?
Wiz: Oh, God! Uh, come back in a couple of days and we'll talk about Yoda's opponent, King Mickey. I feel terrible now.
Boomstick: Haha! Gotcha, sucker! I don't have feelings!
In the episode proper, Boomstick grants Wiz permission to kill him if he ever gets hold of a lightsaber and then throws it away. Wiz takes him up on it and tries to get him to sign a creepy contract full of green ghosts with blood drawn from his finger. Boomstick initially refuses, only to then sign the contract by accident while talking about Marshall the Ringmaster.
Boomstick calls lightsabers, "A badass weapon for a more badass age."
You can't have a Star Wars episode without alluding to Admiral Ackbar's iconic line, so of course Boomstick notes after Wiz states that Yoda started off the Clone Wars:
Boomstick: Too bad it was, as the fish-man said, a trap.
Boomstick and Wiz speculate that the Jedi's fall was partially their own fault, due to the contradiction between their roles as peacekeepers and their skill with weaponry.
Wiz: Why must peacekeepers need to be so specifically trained in murder? So uncivilized.
Boomstick: Wiz, get over yourself! If you had a lightsaber, you'd wanna use it as much as you could, too.
The start of King Mickey's preview is pretty funny due to the Bait-and-Switch:
Boomstick: Mickey Mouse. Disney's OG OC. You know him as a cute corporate mascot who hangs out with other cute creatures and lives a normal domestic life. But did you know he's also an insanely powerful warrior mage that fights darkness to save the Disney universe alongside a young boy and his good ol' duck and dog buddies? (photos of Sora, Donald, and Pluto appear on-screen) No, not that dog, the other one. (Pluto's photo is replaced by a photo of Goofy)
Wiz is highly confused by the fact that kingdoms and worlds are separate things in Kingdom Hearts. That last part is even funnier when you consider that, being a Mad Scientist, you wouldn't expect Wiz to like magic.
Boomstick: You know, my favorite part about Kingdom Hearts is how straightforward it is.
Wiz: My favorite part is how it's ruled by that ninety-two-year-old mouse wizard.
Boomstick notes that Keyblades can unlock almost anything. "Get it? C-Cause they're keys?"
Due to Mickey being the apprentice of Yen Sid, they had to bring up that time Mickey had a mishap with brooms (which is in fact KH canon).
During King Mickey's preview, Boomstick brings up the fact U.S. laws were changed so that Disney kept the rights to Mickey Mouse in 2024. Wiz muses that as of the episode, 2024 isn't too far off, and asks Boomstick if he's thinking what Wiz is...and Boomstick gets the idea that starting from 2024, Mickey Mouse would be the new co-host of Death Battle. Replacing Wiz, of course.
Boomstick: Sorry, Wiz, this room's only big enough for two people, and the mouse has a much bigger social media presence than you, so...
Wiz: That's not what I meant!
Boomstick: Whatever, "Not-Mickey!" Welp, come back next week for the season premiere of Yoda Vs. King Mickey!
Wiz: Ten years of this show, and I'm just a... placeholder?!
Boomstick: You say somethin'?
After hearing Wiz describe how Mickey can summon his Keyblade back to his hand, Boomstick tries to replicate the trick with a beer. After a few seconds of trying, a can flies into his hand, much to Wiz's shock... and then the screen pans to the right to reveal DUMMI just shot the beer can out of his head.
Wiz: Oh my god, it worked!
DUMMI: No, it was just me.
Boomstick coming to the conclusion that Pluto is Goofy's Heartless.
Wiz: Do you have a concussion?
Boomstick: Oh, always.
The confusing pronunciation of the χ-Blade (pronounced just like "keyblade") really irks Boomstick.
Boomstick's response to learning how Roxas' heart was fast enough to travel from the Radiant Garden to the Keyblade Graveyard (across galaxies, according to Wiz) in seconds is a very appropriate "What?"
Boomstick noting the confusing moral of Kingdom Hearts:
Boomstick: The real key to saving the world is your friends- if each one of them has a super-powerful magic sword that's also a key!
During one of their otherwise intense Blade Locks, Yoda uses his cane to repeatedly whack Mickey in the face, much like he did to R2-D2.
Mickey let some unexpected phrases come out of his mouth
Mickey: Hot Dog!
Mickey: Wha happun?
After Mickey comes out victorious, Yoda, not even bothered by being dead, sends a lightning bolt to startle the King. Despite being the loser, Yoda still had the last laugh.
How does Mickey respond to Yoda's prank? By Dope Slapping the Jedi Master, who's a Force Ghost at this point, upside the head with his Keyblade.
Mickey: Laugh it up, fuzzball!
Boomstick is filled with wide-eyed awe at the sight of Yoda being "a troll to the bitter end" towards Mickey.
Boomstick's Bond One-Liner, which doubles as a good Call-Back:
Boomstick: Sorry, Yoda, but M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-ARE-DEAD!

Shadow VS Ryūko

Shadow's preview video is titled "Shadow HedgeHOGs the spotlight in DEATH BATTLE!"
During Shadow's preview once they introduced him, Boomstick asks if it really was the government (as opposed to Hot Topic) that contracted Gerald into making Shadow. The footage is accompanied by a video of a real hedgehog and a caption of "Gotta heal fast". Wiz has a more pressing question:
Wiz: Since when were hedgehogs the ultimate disease-curing lifeforms? I mean, Gerald's prototype was a lizard [the Biolizard], which sort of makes sense, as certain reptiles have regenerative tissue, but then he went from this to... a hedgehog? O-kay?
At the end of Shadow's preview, Boomstick claims to have his own Chaos ability, Chaos Beer, Wiz quickly refutes this by pointing out that it's just Boomstick taking a can of beer out of the fridge though Boomstick ignores him and tries to demonstrate. Sure enough, he reaches into the refrigerator... while at the same time being Darker and Edgier.
Boomstick: I push through the cold... I grasp the steely can... ripping it from its home so that I may consume it for pleasure!
Shadow's background slide in the fight itself notes that Kill la Kill is his favorite anime.
Boomstick's reaction to Gerald Robotnik instructing Shadow to take revenge on humanity:
Boomstick: Wiz, you think we're ever gonna find a scientist who doesn't go totally bonkers?
Wiz: I mean, what about me?
Boomstick: Uh... hahaha. Okay.
Wiz mentions the time Shadow and Sonic were fired into Planet Aquarius hard enough to obliterate it.
Wiz: This would take over an exaton of TNT.
Boomstick: So you've exa-splained.
To round off Shadow's rundown, Boomstick declares that despite softening up, Shadow is still "the edgy hedgehog we all Love to Hate to love."
Boomstick, at the start of Ryūko's preview, brings up the fact that the Life Fibers costumes are for providing the viewers with "gratuitous Fanservice", then delivers a Call-Back when the subject of Senketsu comes up. "Yeah, here's that Fanservice thing I was telling you about." Wiz doesn't contradict him.
After saying the word "Life Fibers" a lot, Boomstick has something important to tell the viewers. Boomstick saying this is accompanied by footage from The Simpsons of Homer going on a drinking spree, and Bart watching him- and Ryūko's hair is projected onto Bart's head!
Boomstick: I would say take a shot every time we say "Life Fiber", but you'd definitely die, Wiz, and do NOT try that at home!
Boomstick's reaction to Senketsu's... arousal at being ironed.
Boomstick: Yeah, that's not creepy at all.
This interesting discussion between Wiz and Boomstick on the subject of The Power of Blood that Senketsu uses. Bonus points for Boomstick understanding puberty better than Wiz, because he mentioned having a daughter back in Tatsumaki's preview in Season 6.
Boomstick: What's the deal? Is Senketsu a vampire?
Wiz: Well, a popular theory suggests that it's all a metaphor for puberty. Senketsu pulling out Ryūko's blood is symbolic of menstruation, and the skimpier outfits visualize acceptance of sexuality, and...adulthood... except... she's a teenager... who already went through puberty?
Boomstick: Wiz, do you have a daughter?
Wiz: No.
Boomstick: I thought so!
Boomstick asks whether Ryūko will end up becoming the next Guest Fighter in Mortal Kombat since they're already accepting the Terminator, The Joker, and Spawn in Mortal Kombat 11.
Boomstick's analysis of Ryūko's feat of slicing through two hundred tennis balls five times each in less than a second:
Boomstick: Which us in the scientifically community call, (ahem) "fast as f**k"!
As Wiz goes through some of Ryūko's speed feats, Boomstick rewinds the footage to ask why the hell everyone is naked.
In the episode proper, the Excuse Plot for this fight; Shadow cut Ryūko off while on their motorcycles, leading up to Ryūko losing it when Shadow dismissed her.
As Ryūko charges at Shadow, the latter uses Chaos Control to stop time and deliver a roundhouse kick to the back of her head, similar to how he fought Silver.
Ryūko and Senketsu's sarcastic exchanges at two points in the fight.
- First, when Shadow is Teleport Spamming her:
  Senketsu: He's anticipating you. You should anticipate him instead.
  Ryūko: No shit, stupid!
- And again when Shadow cuts off her arm:
  Senketsu: Careful. That hurt.
  Ryūko: Have a little faith...! (reattaches her arm)
Midway into the fight, when Ryūko used her Senjin Shippu form, Shadow gets launched into his bike. In response, Shadow rummaged through the remains to pull out a gun, however, it subverts the infamous trait as the gun is empty much to his chagrin, causing him to swap it out for his Black Sword instead.
After Shadow uses the Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Shadow, Ryūko also transforms into Senketsu Kisaragi. Shadow calls her a "faker". Referencing both Sonic Adventure 2 and his first fight with Vegeta.
After attempting her finishing blow, Ryūko yells out "Sayonara, dipshit!". When Shadow blocks the attack, he lets out a Big "SHUT UP!" and furiously retaliates. After the last two times, it seems like he really got sick of people saying that to him.
What does Shadow say after he's won? "I'm the coolest!".
At the start of the post-fight analysis, Boomstick notes that for all the jokes they made about Ryūko not wearing much clothes, Shadow was nude throughout the entire fight.
Boomstick calls Shadow "the red-and-black edgehog".
During the post-fight analysis, Boomstick doesn't immediately jump into his one-liner after Wiz's usual conclusive wrap-up; rather, he points out that Shadow's probably gonna sympathize with the Kill la Kill fans regarding the end result of this fight... because the Sonic cast was once asked their favorite anime, and Shadow expressed a fondness for Kill la Kill.
Shadow: I like the one with the edgy girl and the Scissor-Blade.
Wiz: (shrugs) It's canon. N-No, really.
Boomstick's Bond One-Liner:
Boomstick: In clothing, the Edge-Hog couldn't be overshadowed, and Ryūko's Life Fiber... was snipped.
It's pretty hard to see but the Chuck Norris and Segata Sanshiro constellation appears once more in this episode.

Lex Luthor VS Doctor Doom

Lex's preview title? "Lex Luther CEOwns DEATH BATTLE!"
When describing Lex's ever-changing past, when they mention the time young Lex was Superboy's friend until he accidentally made him lose his hair, the Luthor in the picture starts shaking his fist angrily.
The background slides lists Sexy Lexy as one of his aliases. They also say, "Doesn't wash his hands... because he's evil."
While discussing how powerful Lex could be, Boomstick uses a... familiar term to describe the Green Lantern corp.
Boomstick: Yknow, that band of green boot stompers who can cross the universe in under an hour?
The way they round off Lex's preview:
Boomstick: Speakin' of fights, I gotta go get dinner!
Wiz: (incredulously) Wh-who are you fighting for dinner?
Boomstick: Squirrels, man! Little bastards are breachin' my turf, Wiz!
Wiz: *sighs* I'll go get the rodent repellent. (To the audience) In the meantime, come back next time when we'll discuss Lex's new adversary, Doctor Doom!
Boomstick: Who also hates squirrels!
Wiz tests out Lex's barrier that turns anything that touches it two-dimensional, "a weeb's wet dream", as Boomstick puts it. Boomstick immediately touches the force field as soon as Wiz surrounds himself with it, making him spin around the barrier uncontrollably. After being ejected, Boomstick celebrates his new thinness by attributing it to his all-squirrel diet. In the post-fight analysis, the dimension-shifting appears to have worn off, but then Boomstick's arm folds and flops over.
Boomstick's response to learning that Lex's hatred of Superman ultimately stems from wanting to be Superman? "Mm, he jelly."
When Wiz notes that Lex tried running for president if he couldn't be Superman, Boomstick dryly remarks:
Boomstick: Can you imagine a president who's an evil billionaire and hates aliens? So unrealistic!
Wiz brings up the fact that the futuristic philosophy Lex inspired was called "Doom", ironically enough. To which Boomstick replies, "Huh, I guess 'Luthoran' was already taken."
Boomstick delivers some snark on Victor Von Doom's Doombots being Marvel's favorite retcon device, and comments on the fact that Doom was using them before he even adopted his supervillain identity.
Wiz noting that Doom made a living selling impressive technological creations and scamming people, in addition to the fact that his Freak Lab Accident may or may not be thanks to The Thing.
The two co-hosts having a discussion on how Doom apparently keeps pieces of the cross Jesus was crucified on in his suit.
Boomstick: You know, in case a pesky Dracula comes your way!
Wiz: Don't be silly, Boomstick, Draculas don't exist!
Boomstick: They don't?! Then why'd you make me do all this research on Dracula?! Oh, no, wait! I had the paper flipped around, it's actually Aluc-
Wiz: Wait, wait, wait! Don't throw those notes away! They may be important in the... uh... future!
Wiz's skepticism about Dracula becomes even more funny when you consider that they already did a Death Battle with Dracula in it two seasons ago. And even funnier that Dracula's voice actor also does Doom in this episode.
Wiz and Boomstick's commentary on Doom's Irrational Hatred of Reed Richards.
Wiz: To Doom, Richards is a man of unquenchable vanity and unmitigated arrogance, consumed by his own ego at the cost of everything around him.
Boomstick: Yeah, I think Doom might be projecting a bit, there.
The "Doom toots as he pleases" meme is referenced in Doom's analysis when Boomstick talks about Doom's Psychological Projection, except the original panel with unaltered text is used. It also comes with the air horn meme sound when it's shown to add to the hilarity.
Boomstick notes "You might be wondering, 'If Doom has all these gadgets, why doesn't he use 'em more often?' Well, in his own words, 'Doom's reasons are his own. Do not question them.'"
During Doom's analysis, Boomstick refers to the Latverian King's Body Surf technique as if Doom wants to "Freaky Friday a foe" while DUMMI shows up with a mind transfer device to demonstrate it on an unwilling Wiz and Boomstick with a genuine smile on his face. The results: Boomstick loses balance and falls over due to not being used to having two normal legs, while Wiz's mind suffers from Boomstick's alcoholism, causing him to become drunk and see six of Boomstick and when he demands DUMMI to undo it, the robot leaves while laughing at the situation. In the post-fight analysis, Boomstick describes the Body Surf technique as "pulling a Captain Ginyu".
Boomstick dryly noting that despite Doom having a Heel Realization after Reed Richards took away his cosmic power, and briefly replacing Tony Stark as Iron Man, eventually, thanks to "comic book status quo", he went back to being evil and "world conquery" again.
We get some glorious Ham-to-Ham Combat thanks to both Lex and Doom's egos.
A meta moment, but there's just something funny about Lex Luthor invoking Actually a Doombot against the guy who named the trope. Even funnier is that Doom didn't bring a Doombot with him this time around.
Dr. Doom saying Foot Dive...nuff said. Only this time instead of only doing this once just like in his fight with Darth Vader, Doom Foot Dives repeatedly during a combo against Lex.
After Doom kills Lex by pinning him to the big L from the top of the Lexcorp building to hold him in place before being sliced up. Even more hilarious is that this is Lex's second loss on the show, meaning he has to hold 2 L's... just like his own Alliterative Name.
Boomstick: (Holding a large L) I've heard of handing someone the L, but never pinning 'em to it!
When bringing up cosmic entities whose power Doom has stolen before, Boomstick brings up the Beyonder, who he describes as a "mulleted doofus".
Boomstick's Bond One-Liner:
Boomstick: The king of Latveria claimed his Victory. Hopefully, Lex isn't a sore Luthor.
The next battle announced at the end of this episode? Heihachi Mishima vs... Geese Howard. You can already hear Boomstick starting up the Geese/Goose argument yet again.

Heihachi Mishima VS Geese Howard

Boomstick is on point with joking on Heihachi — he claims that he treats male-pattern baldness like an extreme sport, claims he's a "bald Wolverine Elon Musk" and compares him and his father to a Charmeleon and a Charizard, respectively. Wiz' reply to this?
Wiz: He's... well, he's something, alright.
Boomstick: The words you're looking for here are "ruthless" and "bastard", Wiz.
The Elon Musk comparisons are taken even further in the actual episode, where Boomstick speculates that like Kazuya, Elon's own son will most likely throw his father off a cliff when he finds out that Elon initially named him X Æ A-12. He also wonders what Heihachi would look like with a Twitter account, whereupon a Funny Background Event of a Twitter post from Musk under Heihachi's name appears on the screen. And then when Wiz tries denying any similarities between Musk and Heihachi, a video pops up of Musk admitting to being a martial arts practitioner in his youth.
Boomstick: Aw man, he's been Heihachi all along! And that means his son IS Kazuya! Someone keep their eye on 'em in case he throws him off a cliff! (aside to camera) But hey, Muskie, if you ever host a King of Iron Tesla Tournament, gimme a call.
Boomstick and Wiz' commentary on Heihachi tossing his son Kazuya off a cliff.
Boomstick: If he climbed back up, it meant he was a devil. If he didn't, that meant he was a-ok. Except for being dead.
Wiz: Which is basically what medieval peasants did to witches. The Mishima are... old-fashioned.
Wiz recounting Heihachi and Kazuya's rematch, in which Heihachi threw his son into a volcano this time.
Wiz: These people really have a fetish for this one particular type of execution, especially considering it never works!
Boomstick's low bar for dick jokes? Goju-ryu's translated name "Hard-Soft Style". Same thing with Geese's Aiki-Jutsu, which has a similar translation.
Boomstick bringing up the fact that Heihachi's Anime Hair is actually sharp enough for him to stab people with it.
Boomstick rounds off Heihachi's preview with his reaction to that one time Heihachi caught a tomahawk with his teeth and broke it.
Boomstick: How much of that blade did he swallow?! Dude must have gave his B-hole braces! Ooh, which reminds me, I gotta go sell it to that Cash-For-Gold guy!
Wiz: You... kept it?! You know, that's actually smart. It would probably sell for a pretty penny.
Boomstick: One man's crap is another man's treasure, Wiz!
In the actual episode, Boomstick calls back to this gag when he and Wiz are discussing Heihachi's battle with the Jack androids.
Boomstick: And Heihachi can tear through the newest Jack models like that hatchet must've tore through his...
Wiz: Boomstick!
Boomstick: Can't stop thinkin' about it, Wiz! Either end that's comin' out of, it's not gonna be good!
Boomstick talks about that time Heihachi got dogpiled by a bunch of Jacks who then all self-destructed, blowing up the temple he was in, but he got up later, "infuriated, I'm sure, by the world's audacity to declare him dead from such a paltry wound." That's the most verbose Boomstick has ever gotten in Death Battle.
Boomstick recalls the time Heihachi shielded Kazuya from a beam fired by his son's evil devil self.
Boomstick: Maybe he had a change of heart...
(Kazuya smirks and runs towards his devil self, using his father as a Human Shield)
Boomstick: Oh, um, oh no... Okay! Or I could be wrong, not after that. Man, Man, they really hate each other.
Heihachi's background notes include a mention of that one Tekken ending where he accidentally turned into a bear. Another Tekken ending where his adopted son enslaved him and made him dress in a Speedo.
Not even Wiz knows what Yoshimitsu's supposed to be.
Boomstick confidently states that despite Heihachi being seemingly Killed Off for Real at the end of Tekken 7, as soon as the next game starts, he'll magically come back again.
Boomstick: And when he does, he'll be determined, as always, to rule the world with a Tekken!
Wiz: Don't you mean Iron Fist... Oh, God damn it, Boomstick...
What's the title of Geese's fight preview? "Geese Howard takes a Quack at DEATH BATTLE!"
Boomstick remarks that South Town has a "top tier business model" by having the Howard Connection protecting people from the Mafia by being the mafia.
Boomstick criticizes Geese Howard's first name, saying that the only worse name he can think of would be Swan. Death Battle has a writer named Liam Swan, who is also the writer and director for this episode. He also criticizes the first name of Geese's rival, Jeff Bogard, apart from hating him just as much as Geese does. Both Wiz and Boomstick proceed to disparage Jeff every time he's brought up.
Boomstick describes Geese's Gratuitous English as "shit-eating catchphrases".
Boomstick (possibly intentionally) mangling Hyakkyokuseiken as "Hippopotamus", leading Wiz to mutter under his breath "Jesus!" in such a tone you'd think he was a step away from murdering him.
When Wiz talks about Geese's technique, Rashoumon, Boomstick is unnerved by its execution which he describes as "Throwing his opponent into the air, and then patty cake his nuts on the way down", bonus points for the fact that the clip during this was Geese performing Rashoumon on Heihachi. This comes up proper in the battle itself, as Heihachi can be seen visibly wincing in pain once Geese’s Rashomon hits him in his happy sack.
Boomstick openly describes Geese as a "buff, Otaku Vito Corleone". In addition to that, Boomstick asks, "Who do you think his waifu is, himself?" Accompanied by a photo of Lady Geese. And then Boomstick gets Distracted by the Sexy, causing this exchange at the end of Geese's preview.
Boomstick: Wiz, As You Know, I'm a poultry scientist, and I can officially say that that is one hot Goose!
Wiz: Well, there have been plenty of different Geeses over the years. There's the zombified ultimate universe nightmare Geese, romance dating-site Geese-
Boomstick: Wiz, I don't care! I'm too distracted by my future ex-wife!
Wiz: Oh, great! (to the viewers) While I get the prenup ready, come back next week for the full episode of Heihachi Vs. Geese!
Boomstick: Man, those things really do come in handy! Thanks, Wiz!
In the episode proper, the appearance of the female Geese is accompanied by a certain "Wow!" sound effect.
In the episode proper, Wiz defends Geese from Boomstick accusing him of being a weeb.
Wiz: I admire Geese's tenacity and business acumen. It reminds me of... me. Inventing reality-bending weaponry for black markets around the globe has done my checking account pretty well, (presents Mecha Goose Howard) like my cyber goose.
Boomstick: Mecha Goose Howard?! Oh, please, Wiz, I've seen your student loans from Mad Scientist U. It's a sideways 8 next to a smiling turd emoji. I hear they sell self-respect next to the dollar pizza place you like so much.
And then DUMMI floats in and freaks out when he sees Mecha Goose Howard. This is quickly proven to be the correct response as Goose starts shooting him, causing him to float away screaming, causing Boomstick to laugh.
Boomstick snarking about Goose murdering Jeff Bogard in front of his sons, "I'm sure that'll turn out well in a decade or two! Wow, this guy has got to be the pettiest bitch in all of South Town, next to Jeff."
Boomstick complimenting Terry Bogard's taste in hats.
Boomstick noting the fact that Geese somehow survived Terry throwing him off a building the first time. "You can't keep a good goose down!"
Ringmaster notes the "flagrant disregard of anti-trust laws" in letting whoever wins the Death Battle gain sole ownership of Mishima Zaibatsu and the Howard Connection before going through with announcing the fighters.
After one counter-throw too many, Heihachi voices the thoughts of many a player who fought through some of the most infamous SNK Boss battles.
Heihachi: Don’t say it...
Geese: PREDICTABOOOOOOOO!!!
Heihachi then gets even with Geese by grabbing his foot when he goes in for a flying kick, and he says "Predictable" this time!
Geese dying by being consumed by lava in gruesome detail? Horrific. Boomstick's Bond One-Liner afterwards? Hilarious.
Boomstick: Better break out the soy sauce for Geese, because this goose was cooked!
Boomstick interrupts Wiz's analysis to state his opinion on why Heihachi won against Geese.
Boomstick: One of them throws people off cliffs, the other has people throw him off cliffs. Kind of a "no-duh"!
Wiz: It was not a "no-duh!"
Boomstick's Bond One-Liner to round off the show?
Boomstick: Man, this fight was so intense, it almost made Mi-shit-ma pants!

Blake VS Mikasa

The opening lines of Blake's preview:
Wiz: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will find violent revolution inevitable."
Boomstick: I wonder if JFK was thinking about anime Cat Girls when he said that?
Boomstick calls Adam a "Ginger Kylo Ren" and later calls him "Bootleg Vergil".
When Wiz brings up Blake's past in the White Fang, he mentions that she was a guerilla fighter. Boomstick gets the wrong idea:
Boomstick: She's not a gorilla, Wiz, she's clearly a cat, you dingus!
Wiz: That's not what I-
Boomstick: As a clearly cat Faunus...
Wiz brings up that time Blake used her Aura (a manifestation of one's soul) to withstand a Nevermore plowing into her twice.
Wiz: I guess you could say, she no soul-d it?... Eh? Eh?
Boomstick: Don't try that again, or I'm gonna have to cut you with a sword as sharp as Gambol Shroud!
At the end of Blake's preview, Boomstick asks Wiz to give his shotgun leg a "sick anime combo weapon upgrade".
Boomstick: I'm thinking nunchucks, lightsaber, portable nuclear device, and maybe a DVD player for when I'm bored. That sound, uh, doable?
Wiz: Uh, how about I just grow you, like, a real leg? I can do that, you know.
Boomstick: Hehe, Wiz if I wanted a "normal" human leg, would I have gone through the trouble of cutting mine off?
Wiz: Oh, that makes sense. ...Wait, what?
Boomstick brings up the fact that Adam Taurus eventually stopped being a Well-Intentioned Extremist and threatened to blow up a bunch of innocent people.
Boomstick: Now, instead of a bad boy, he's just a boy... that is bad.
When discussing how certain Dust types affects Blake's Semblance, Boomstick pulls out pieces of Fire and Ice Dust before throwing them away, into Wiz's direction. When Boomstick realises he killed his co-host, after being annoyed that he did it on accident, a trio of Wizards show up with two taking the dead Wiz away while the third takes his place while explaining what happened, though he tells Boomstick to not bother asking if he is the real Wiz, as even he doesn't know at that point.
Boomstick yet again brings up the fact that Blake's in a team with Yang's sister Ruby that also happens to be called RWBY, with a W.
Boomstick is disgusted by The Power of Friendship, as always.
After Wiz gave the feat of Adam using his Moon Slice to pulverize a Spider Droid Grimm, Boomstick had this to say:
Boomstick: Not too bad for a bootleg Vergil.
The opening of Mikasa's preview, where Boomstick presents her Doomed Hometown like he's doing a holiday advertisement, describing it with "rustic medieval architecture and hearty populace." And then the Colossal Titan shows up...
Boomstick: Oho! Oh yeah, ooh, yup, that can't be good.
Boomstick describes Eren Yeager, rather appropriately, as "another mini-psychopath in training".
Wiz and Boomstick's Lampshade Hanging on the fact that Mikasa's parents were murdered in front of her, and then Eren's parents were murdered in front of him.
Wiz: I'm sensing a pattern here.
Boomstick: With barely anyone in her life lasting longer than a twenty-five-minute episode...
Boomstick comparing Mikasa to a "steampunk Spider-Man" with her ODM Gear is funnier when you remember that Mikasa fought Spider-Man, and killed him, back in DBX prior to this episode.
When explaining how Mikasa's ODM Gear works, particularly in how pressurized gas is involved, Boomstick has this to say.
Boomstick: Farting. That's called farting, Wiz. (makes some fart sounds)
Wiz: We have never sunk so low.
In the episode proper we see Boomstick making the sounds while Wiz noticibly is affected as he looks disoriented while blood pours out his ears before collapsing, causing DUMMI to reveal that it was another clone of Wiz.
Boomstick's comments on Mikasa potentially surviving over ten g-forces.
Boomstick: Forget super-farting! With g-forces like that, I bet she's got super-barfing, too! Actually, wait a second! I wonder if both could happen at the same time? Wiz, if a person did that, would they turn into one of those weird infinite energy thingies?
Wiz: Do... you mean a... perpetual motion machine?
Boomstick: No, the wacky wavy inflatable guys.
Wiz: Sure...
Boomstick states that "ultra hard steel" (the substance Mikasa's swords are made from) is "exactly the term I'd use to describe myself after watching what they can do to a Titan".
Boomstick describes Mikasa watching over Eren "like a loving mother hen... of death!"
Boomstick delivers a Take That! on Eren Yeager's He Who Fights Monsters mindset.
Boomstick: Get over yourself, Eren! So what if your childhood home was destroyed by a Titan? You're living rent-free in this girl's head, and it could be worse. You could be Armin!
Boomstick noting that Mikasa's ability to tap into the combined battle experience of past Ackermans basically makes her the "Avatar of Titan murder".
Boomstick's heartfelt speech about how Mikasa doesn't love Eren because she's genetically programmed to love him, but because he stood up for her when she couldn't stand up for herself is then sabotaged by Boomstick declaring that she also has "fart powers". Wiz dryly remarks that Boomstick being emotionally sensitive was "nice while it lasted".
The fight essentially starts by Mikasa telling Blake to evacuate. What makes this funny is that she interrupts Blake's reading session of "Ninjas of Love."
The animatic for the fight has the book initially be "Make out Paradise", which was only included because it wasn't specified what it was meant to be in the script and the animator threw it in for the laughs.
Mikasa notices Blake has two human ears and two cat ears. Her conclusion: she must have double the hearing! I mean.... you're not wrong?
Boomstick's reaction to Mikasa accidentally causing her own death with her own Thunder Spear.
Boomstick: I told her not to get too close to that Thunder Spear. Too bad she can't hear omniscient narration from beyond the fourth wall!
Wiz, of all people, states that Blake ultimately won due to her speed, versatility, and "sick anime combo-weapon".
Boomstick's Bond One-Liner:
Boomstick: It may have been a Gambol, but Blake had the Spearit to win without a Shadow of a doubt.
The Reveal for the next episode... the Iron Fist versus... Po from Kung Fu Panda?!

Iron Fist VS Po

Wiz and Boomstick are not surprised that Wendell Rand's business partner Harold Meachum ultimately betrayed his friend and sent him falling to his death. Which is why Boomstick states "Never trust a man called Harold, folks!"
Danny's mother getting killed by Savage Wolves defending her son? Sad. Boomstick declaring that her son "won the tragic backstory award" for her getting killed by wolves after his dad had already been thrown of a cliff by his traitorous business partner? Crosses the Line Twice with his Lack of Empathy.
Boomstick thinks that Danny must have "at least six silk dragon shirts in his closet", judging by the way he shouts "Heart of the Dragon!" all the time.
Boomstick's summary of Danny earning the title of the Immortal Iron Fist:
Boomstick: And, like a badass, Danny walked up to Shou-Lao's front door, then, get this, bear-hugged the dragon until it fell unconscious, netting Danny a sweet chest tattoo and the chance to plunge his hands deep into the dragon's-
Wiz: Boomstick!
Boomstick: What? I was going to say the creepy cauldron containing its heart. What were you thinking?
Just the sheer implication that Wiz is so used to Boomstick's perversity that he automatically assumes Boomstick's going to say that Danny did... a creepy sexual thing to Shou-Lao, however implausible.
Boomstick is incredulous that Danny ultimately decided that Harold Meachum was Not Worth Killing when he finally caught up to him in New York.
Boomstick: Oh, great. Another lesson about how revenge is bad and all that crap. Wiz, when I find those chickens that did in my Grandpappy, make sure I finish the job.
Wiz: I'll put it on my calendar.
At the end of Iron Fist's preview, Boomstick starts snarking about how Danny's yet another superhero who's "secretly a billionaire by inheritance", with Wiz telling him to keep quiet. Apparently, according to Wiz, half of their unfulfilled loans come from billionaires.
Boomstick: I will not be silenced until someone shows up on my door, tells me that some guy I didn't know died, and I get money!
Wiz: You will be if they decide to fine us! (to the audience) I mean, that's all for now folks. Come back later when we go over Iron Fist's new Po, the Kung Fu Panda Foe! ...Wait. Whatever!
Boomstick: Hey, you made a rhyme! Good for you. Maybe that can be your thing and you can f**k off with the puns.
Partway through Iron Fist's rundown, Wiz lists off some of the foes that Danny's beaten, including a villain literally named the White Man. Cue Boomstick getting stirred up into a blaxploitation fervor worthy of Danny's friend Luke Cage:
Boomstick: Hell yeah, down with the establishment, Danny!
Wiz: No, I mean he fought a mob boss actually named White Man.
Boomstick: Well, whitey better watch out!
Boomstick initially criticizes Danny's "ballet shoes", because he doesn't think they're scary. Wiz corrects him that Danny wears tai chi shoes, as per K'un L'un standard, and then goes on about how Iron Fist can absorb electromagnetism. Boomstick then tries putting on Danny's shoes himself, with some electrical build-up, before he touches Wiz and electrocutes himself, while shorting out Wiz's robot arm.
Boomstick: YAH! Oh, so that's why he wears the slippers.
Boomstick brings up that one time Danny defeated the demon Mara- not the ball demon from Shin Megami Tensei, but the bull demon.
During Iron Fist's full rundown, they notice how, when Iron Fist destroyed a train with a punch, the resulting explosion was described as "made Hiroshima look like a sparkler". They proceed to mock the insensitivity of that description every time that feat is brought up.
Boomstick notes that "it's clear Iron Fist's...fist...glove?... C-closed hand has some serious power."
Boomstick brings up that time Danny took in the chi of all the people of K'un L'un and became a flaming living skeleton. "Watch out, he's got a bone to pick with crime!"
Wiz and Boomstick discuss that time Danny fought an eldritch robot called The One. Boomstick notes the unimaginative name of the villain, just like the White Man, and asks Who Writes This Crap?! in reply to The One pulling off Wendell Rand's head and putting it on his body. Wiz then describes Wendell as "Schrodinger's dad".
Po's preview starts off with Boomstick describing Po in hammy praise of his martial arts skills, before then describing him as "a fighter of unrivaled power, wisdom, and rotundity".
Wiz and Boomstick doing a Shout-Out to the Avatar: The Last Airbender intro in Po's preview:
Wiz: This is Xiao Po Ping, a panda born in the Valley of Peace. For the longest time, this valley only knew... well, peace.
Boomstick: But everything changed when Gary Oldman the peacock and his army attacked.
Boomstick chiding Po as a "nerd" for his idolization of kung-fu, and noting that working in a noodle restaurant wasn't the "hardline warrior life" he was expecting.
And, since they have to include Po being chosen as the Dragon Warrior by Master Oogway, Wiz can't pass up the chance to use Oogway's Catchphrase.
Boomstick: Talk about a freak accident.
Wiz: There are no accidents, Boomstick.
Wiz and Boomstick discussing how Shifu eventually learned to train Po.
Wiz: Po was quite gifted. He just needed the right motivation, a carrot on a stick.
Boomstick: Or, more accurately, a dumpling.
Boomstick is left in awe of Po's Golden Lotus Clap:
Boomstick: Wiz, you think if I try hard enough, I could pull that off?
Wiz: No, probably not, you'd need to master chi and- oh, wait, your hands are glowing!
Boomstick: Oh, no, that's a different thing. S**t! THAT'S BACK?! Ugh, I gotta call the doctor.
Wiz: Oh. Uh, then- I guess, (to the viewers) come back next week, for the full fight of Iron Fist vs. Po!
Boomstick: Wiz, you're gonna want to come with me, it's highly contagious.
In the actual episode itself, Wiz, realizing what Boomstick's about to do, quickly puts on a pair of sunglasses while Boomstick ends up blinding himself with the aforementioned clap. He then complains about the instructions on how to use the Clap not warning him about that, and Wiz has to continue giving the rundown whilst Boomstick blindly stumbles around the room.
Boomstick's sarcastic note that "the orphaned panda Dragon Warrior raised by a goose in a noodle shop had a bit of an identity crisis".
Boomstick accidentally calls Po "Jack Black" when cheering him on to his confrontation with Lord Shen, or as he calls him, "that asshole, Gary Oldman, who killed his mother".
The way Po's rundown is rounded off, with the clip of him first summoning his golden dragon chi aura in Kung Fu Panda 3. Sums up Po's character perfectly.
Po: (very seriously) I am... the Dragon Warrior. (Beat) Get it? See the dragon? (laughs)
Danny's first opening combo on Po hits him hard enough to fly into the temple wall and cause him to rebound off, ass-first towards Danny. The look on Danny's face as a panda butt is about to hit him is priceless.
In order for Po to focus on Danny, he imagines his opponent's head as a dumpling. And this Imagine Spot happens twice. The image of the Immortal Iron Fist with a dumpling for a head has to be seen to be believed.
At one point, Iron Fist punches Po hard enough to send him bouncing down the stairs, much like in the movies.
After reaching the foot of the stairs, Po lands on two bamboo poles, both of which bend over, as though they're going to serve as Po's Catapult to Glory... except no, they keep bending under his weight, and Po has an Oh, Crap! reaction when he realizes he's bending right over a pit filled with sharp bamboo shoots. He promptly sucks his stomach in to prevent the shoots from piercing it, and then the bamboo throws him back onto solid earth, after which his stomach bounces up and down.
Iron Fist is getting some good hits in with an improvised bamboo staff. Po counters in a way only a Big Eater panda can: eating the staff on the spot. It's so unexpected, and yet so clever, that it's hilarious.
If you look closely, Po actually loses a tooth when Iron Fist knees him in the face, but it's brushed aside like nothing.
When Po attempts to use the Wuxi-Finger hold on Iron Fist:
- Danny has no idea what he is doing, causing Po's quote of "Oh, you know this hold" to fall flat. At least he manages to salvage it with "Well, you're about to learn it."
- Building on this, when Po gets ready, Iron Fist pulls his finger away twice, before Po just does it to himself to get the move to work.
- Hell, how Po sets Danny up for the first attempt is pretty funny as well; After being tickled by Danny's pressure point attacks, Po retaliates by using the leaves on his bamboo staff to tickle Iron Fist's nose, causing Danny to come closer as he sneezes, allowing Po to grab him.
After ending Iron Fist, Po gushes about how incredibly cool the fight he just had was, before heading to Master Shifu to tell him about it.
Boomstick's reaction to Po's triumph:
Boomstick: Whoa-ho-ho! I did not see that one coming! I guess Po got his fill of Iron, am I right?
As Boomstick notes in the post-fight analysis, "anything Iron Fist could dish out, Po could bounce back from, sometimes literally!"
Boomstick notes that Po gaining true mindfulness after coming to terms with his emotions and returning from the spirit realm is "some heavy stuff for a cartoon bear voiced by Jack Black".
Boomstick's Bond One-Liner and the build-up beforehand.
Boomstick: Against Po's overwhelming toughness, counters, and Po-wer, Iron Fist wasn't putting him down in the first place. He just didn't have the stomach to bear it.
A meta version, but the title for this episode's music track is pretty unexpected: instead of being a hardcore portmanteau title like "Iron Panda" or "Kung Fu Fist", it's called "Dragons & Dumplings" instead!

Steven Universe VS Star Butterfly

Boomstick's reaction to the Diamond Authority deciding to destroy every Gem left on Earth in reply to Rose Quartz rebelling against them? "Uh, that sounds like overkill."
Wiz estimating that the Corrupting Light that Rose shielded her Gem friends from was over 843 million tenajoules per second of energy.
Boomstick: Joules? More like, Jewels, am I right?
Wiz: Uh, that's what I said?
Boomstick: No, like with the W- eh, never mind.
Boomstick thinks Steven's father Greg has a cool last name, so he decides to legally change his last name to Universe. "Boomstick Universe!"
Boomstick wonders what a fusion between himself and Wiz would look like.
Wiz: Uh, fusions tend to result in a more powerful entity than the sum of its parts, but... I'm not sure that would happen.
Boomstick: Yeah, you're right. You wouldn't be able to handle it.
Boomstick ends the preview to get some more beer, which confuses Wiz since he upgraded their mini-fridge to have near-infinite capacity. Boomstick reveals he already drank it all to Wiz’s astonishment.
Wiz brings up how Lapis, who Steven is on par with, once telekinetically lifted the entire ocean into the air.
Wiz: Boomstick, do you know how heavy the ocean is?
Boomstick: No. Do you know how heavy the ocean is?
Wiz: The effort required for that would be anywhere from 92 petatons to over ten zettatons of TNT.
Boomstick: Man, that's a lot of water.
Wiz brings up that time Steven's healing spit turned a bunch of watermelon seeds into melon people- right when Boomstick is eating a watermelon.
Boomstick: (spitting out the melon) That's not gonna pop up and attack me, is it?!
Wiz: N-No, Boomstick. Regular watermelons don't attack people. (to the viewers) But, depending on Steven's emotional state, he has varying control over his... plant-based lifeforms.
(Wiz pulls out a ray gun and shoots the watermelon on the floor, turning it into a full melon with a green Wiz head that gurgles. Boomstick panics and blows it to pieces with his shotgun leg, showering Wiz with it.)
Boomstick: (to Wiz) You gonna eat that?
Boomstick lampshading the fact that if Steven restores a dead person to life with his tears, they go bright pink and gain powers of their own.
Apparently, Boomstick has tried falling asleep in a fight to gain the ability to possess people like Steven can. Turns out falling asleep while someone's trying to beat on you is not exactly easy.
Boomstcik's reaction to learning that Steven's mom, Rose Quartz, is really Pink Diamond, which is one of the biggest reveals in Steven Universe, is an underwhelming "What?".
Boomstick cheerfully noting that parental trauma damages anyone's mental health.
After Wiz notes that Steven worked through his personal problems, so hopefully he won't end up becoming a "Pink State Godzilla" ever again, Boomstick notes, "That's one less monster to worry about, Tokyo!"
Boomstick is naturally incredulous when he hears that Star's home dimension is called Mewni, and her species are called Mewmans. In the analysis proper, even Wiz is incredulous about the words "Mewmans" and "Mewni".
Boomstick: What the f**k is a Mewman?
Boomstick's reaction to Mewberty.
He also can't believe that Star can actually fly with such small wings. Her Butterfly form wings are a lot more impressive. Boomstick also adds of Star's Butterfly form, "I just wish peering into her eyes wasn't like peering into the nine layers of Hell!"
Boomstick wishes he could have a Jelly Bean Hallucination Mist like Star. "It'll be like you could pay for that like a high-end sauna."
Star's preview has Boomstick flabbergasted at the names of Star's spells, before he starts coming up with his own spell name, Ultimate Naptime.
Wiz: Boomstick, you can't just yell out a phrase and expect it to be a spell- (falls asleep)
Boomstick: Huh, that was supposed to be on me.
And then Boomstick has to slap Wiz to wake him up again, and Wiz actually whines "Why?!" when he does it.
Boomstick's account of the Fantastic Nuke used by Star's ancestor Queen Skywynne:
Boomstick: Yeah, Star's ancestor Skywynne wanted to make something explode one day, so... why not an entire dimension?!
Boomstick notes that Star's Mega-Explosive Crystal Laser is powerful enough to destroy planets, but she just uses it to play with cats like a laser pointer.
Wiz' attempt at describing Mewberty, from Star's own description of it. Boomstick proves that he suffers from Blunt Metaphors Trauma just as severely as Star.
Wiz: Star compared the process of attaining it to, and I quote, "suddenly looking at boys as if they were made of bacon, like you've never eaten it in your life, and all you want to eat is bacon."
Boomstick: So, what you're saying is, if I eat enough bacon, I can get magical powers?! (He starts eating a handful of bacon while Wiz grips the bridge of his nose in frustration)
Wiz delivers a heartwarming speech about how Star's Character Development turned her into a compassionate peacemaker... and then he rounds her rundown off with the clip of Star as her old Blood Knight self.
Star: Who's ready for a bloody, bloody, bloodbath?! (slams her mace into the ground)
How do Steven and Star come into conflict? The two are competing in a sandcastle making contest, of all things. Star's attempt at using magic to construct her sandcastle causes it to collapse on top of Steven, destroying his own sandcastle. Star's desperate attempts at "fixing" it just blasts Steven out of the sand, only to be covered in more sand. In most Death Battle episodes, something this trivial would result in the fight starting. What does a notably miffed Steven do after being buried in sand twice? He simply picks Star up, carries her a short distance away and puts her down again. Bonus points for the fact that while Steven is carrying her, Star is completely still during it, with only her hair and dress being affected by gravity.
In an attempt to cheer Steven up, Star fires a Cupcake Blast from her wand. It's only when Steven notices and blocks it with his shield that the fight actually starts.
The prize for winning the sandcastle contest is $650, a Running Gag from Star's series where Marco receives that much money for his Princess Turdina persona.
Steven politely asks Star "Um, stop, please?" when she first attacks him.
These lines after Star started blasting everything:
Steven: What did sandcastles ever do to you?!
Star: (Genuinely pondering) Hmm... I don't know!
Steven knocks Star out of the sky with his shield and into a nearby sandcastle, head-first. Her reply to this? A surprisingly subdued and deadpan "Ow..."
Star goes into Ultimate Magic Butterfly form, and speaks to Steven in a creepy Voice of the Legion. And what does she say? A scary Pre-Mortem One-Liner? No, she says:
Ultimate Magic Butterfly Star: That was RUDE!!
Spider with a Top Hat guides Star's Warnicorns into battle with Steven's watermelon clones with a Battle Cry, which is, simply, "WAR CRYYYY!"
Star comments that Steven's spiked bubble is "neat!" when he deflects her attacks with it.
When attempting to crush Star, Steven calls her "Weird Bug Girl". That is an objectively accurate description of Star Butterfly.
In a Black Comedy moment, after the fight, instead of being shocked that she killed Steven, Star is elated when the first prize ribbon for the sandcastle lands on her hair, and she shouts "I WOOON!!" Boomstick tries deflating this at the start of the post-fight analysis.
Boomstick: I don't think she won what she thought she won, there. Steven definitely had a better sand castle!
Boomstick notes that Star's spells could destroy a whole planet, "and probably even a universe! Pun intended."
Boomstick's Bond One-Liner:
Boomstick: Butter-fly on home, Star. You've had a Gem-uine win.

Link VS Cloud (2021)

The name of Link's preview title is "Link Will Try-Force in DEATH BATTLE!" It seems the hosts really upped their lame pun game since the first match between the two swordsmen back in Season 1.
Link's dislikes? Pots, chickens, and Philips CD-i.
During the fight, both lose their Cool Bikes but Link and Cloud get affected differently:
- Link takes the Master Cycle's destruction in stride before retaliating and destroying Cloud's Fenrir, the force of which sends Cloud into a cliff face while disarming him of the Buster Sword, and causing him to roll down each ledge of the cliff, during the Death Battle Cast the team reveal that this wasn't in the original script so they just decided to Throw It In! when they saw it. Anyone who's played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will also likely sympathize with Cloud, as the game's high cliffs and ragdolling mean many players have had similar things happen to them, adding a bit of irony in this instance that it isn't Link taking that punishment.
- After Cloud finishes his rather long tumbling sequence, we see how Link got down to the same spot: safely gliding down with his Paraglider.
After landing, Link sees a bunch of pots in the church, and predictably, begins breaking them as Cloud picks up the Fusion Sword. As Cloud turns around, he sees Link breaking the pots, and lets out an indignant "Excuse me?!" as he charges towards Link. Link then throws the last remaining pot at Cloud, who catches it on his sword, balances it, tosses it up to continue the fight, then catches it with his hand as it falls so he can set it down gently.
When Link summons his clones with the Four Sword, the purple clone turns into a fairy (with Navi voice clips) and flutters around Cloud's head as a distraction.
Red Link has a hilariously stunned facial expression when Cloud fires Remove.
When Link reveals his Fierce Deity form, Cloud's reaction is simply a Fascinating Eyebrow before nonchalantly avoiding the debris being thrown around from Link's transformation.

Batman VS Iron Man

A heavy case of Black Comedy, while describing Batman's backstory, Boomstick, unsubtle as ever, bluntly describes the defining moment in Bruce Wayne's life as "Until Mommy and Daddy got 360 no-scoped".
In the text for Bruce's backstory, a certain memetic detail can be seen at the very bottom of the list...
"Wants to know why you said that name"
Apparently, Wiz once made an army of robots that tried to overthrow the UN.
Wiz: (defensively) So I had some kinks to work out! All it takes is a little "destroy all humans" and the bureaucrats go running. Short-sighted fools. This ankle bracelet still chafes.
Boomstick: Oh, I've been there buddy.
Wiz begins excitedly going into detail about how Iron Man's repulsor tech works, only for Boomstick to bluntly sum it up as lasers.
Wiz: Just suck the fun out of it.
Just like all the previous times Bruce has been a combatant or at least spoken of, Boomstick of course refers to him as the Goddamn Batman and takes it a step further at the end of Bat's analysis by calling him an even more memorable name.
Boomstick: The goddamn, motherf***ing, na-na-na-na-na-na Batman!
While describing some of the various Batsuits Batman has used in his past, they bring up the Zebra batsuit his suit transformed into while temporarily (and accidentally) gained magnetic powers. Boomstick shows this by painting himself up like a zebra, and the paint is still wet as his sudden movements cause paint to splatter against the display screen.
In a Call-Back to his previous battle against T'Challa, Bruce is jamming out to the very same J-pop song in the Watchtower. When Tony interrupts him after breaking in the Watchtower, Bruce turns off the music in embarrassment.
The fight begins because Tony ordered Bruce to take down the Watchtower. Come the fight, Batman (in the Hell Bat suit) uses it as a weapon against Tony, effectively giving him what he wanted.
Tony burns through the wall and grabs Bruce during the Watchtower scuffle. What makes this funny is that the panning shot doesn't make a full turn. Meaning, that Tony went the long way around (probably smashing through a few things) just to get the drop on him.
When both men are reduced to an unarmored fist-fight, Bruce tells Tony that the fight would be "just you and me, man to man". Cue Tony still having the snarkiness to reply "Well, man-to-Genius Billionaire Playboy Philan-" before getting cut off by a punch from Bruce.

Goku Black VS Reverse-Flash

Boomstick describes Zamasu's goal for divine justice as having "Final Fantasy Big Bad energy all over him."
When Zamasu is introduced as Goku Black, Bulma appears to lampshade the ridiculousness of his name, just as she did in Dragon Ball Super proper — even if her future self was the one who named him that:
Bulma: Please. Goku Black? You couldn't be more creative?
At the end of Goku Black’s preview, Boomstick is disgusted at Goku Black’s Super Saiyan Rosé name, suggesting that the next step would be the Super Saiyan Live, Laugh, Love (or SSJLLL) before reaching the ultimate form, SSJK (or Super Saiyan Karen).
Also at the end of Black's preview, Wiz decides to check to see if Boomstick has been taking his pills in response to the above, with Boomstick replying that he "took all of them".
After seeing that the Black Kamehameha is pink and that he named his pink ki blade the Azure Dragon Sword, Boomstick concludes that Goku must be colorblind. Wiz explains that the Azure Dragon Sword is named after the legendary warrior Yamcha — Wait, What? And shortly after explaining that the Sickle of Sorrow can create clones, Boomstick has to clarify that he meant Black, not Yamcha (who he refers as "Crater Boy").
Boomstick calls Eobard the stupidest name he's ever heard during his time in DEATH BATTLE!. And then comes his reaction to Eobard becoming the Reverse-Flash. There's also the visual that goes with Boomstick's snarky remark. It's Reverse-Flash rapidly moving his arm up and down while thinking about how he can move his hand so fast that it's invisible to the human eye, very much referencing the hateboner meme.
Boomstick: Reverse-Flash? We're really setting the world on fire with these names today, huh, Wiz?
At the end of Reverse-Flash's preview, after talking about how Eobard killed Barry's wife, Wiz remarks that it reminds him of his first date. Boomstick makes fun of Wiz, saying that he never went on a date before.
Wiz: Well, yeah, she and I had some great moments together, but I ultimately had to tear her apart for scraps to build my first death laser. Better to have loved, then lost, you know.
Boomstick: Okay, yeah, never mind. That tracks.
Reverse-Flash's listed dislikes are "Barry Allen, Barry Allen, Barry Allen". His likes are also "Barry Allen, Barry Allen, Barry Allen". Clearly, his feelings toward the man are complicated.
While discussing the nature of temporal paradoxes, Boomstick has a brief little existential freakout, complete with Thousand-Yard Stare.
Boomstick: Wiz, maybe time is a construct with no legitimate unit of measurement other than the meager attempts man has made to understand the incomprehensible world around him.
After Wiz explains how Thawne's removal from the DC universe before Barry created the Flashpoint rendered him a Paradox Person, Boomstick suggests the possibility that Thawne actually hated Barry so much that his rage broke the laws of time, accompanied with a mind-blown gesture and sparkly aftereffect. The kicker? Boomstick's not being sarcastic, he seriously considers that a possibility!
The start of the fight, it's revealed that Reverse-Flash had something to do with Quicksilver's death to Flash (Barry for reference) way back in Season 3, laughing as he reads the newspaper as he lets off his memetic line. This gets even more funny if you consider Reverse-Flash's voice actor for the episode, Valentine Stokes, was responsible for this memetic variation of the quote that brought Zoomposting to a whole new level in the internet.
Reverse-Flash: It was me, Barry!
When Goku Black shows up, the guy has the guts to go around murdering people... While drinking a cup of tea the entire time. And when Reverse-Flash engages in combat with him, his first action? Punch the teacup out of Black's hand. You can even see him grinning at the moment he targets the tea!
Some major Black Comedy from the battle preview: Reverse-Flash grabs a random old man and uses him as a Human Shield against Goku Black as he runs up. The man gets torn apart by Black's energy beams until only his head is left, which Reverse-Flash throws at Black.
Reverse-Flash: Excuse me, sir, I'm in need of your services. [grabs him]
For a good chunk of the beginning portion of the fight, Goku Black simply can't land a hit on the speedster, much to his ire. Seeing this, the 25th century criminal obliges his order to 'stay still'... and promptly phases through Zamasu's attempt to punch him.
Goku Black: Stand still and face your judgement, mortal!
Reverse-Flash: Okay.
Reverse-Flash makes it back in time first, punching Goku Black into pieces before he could start his rampage proper. He and his past-self share an Evil Laugh at this... only for the Goku Black from the previous timeline to appear and slice past-Thawne in half. Both Zamasu and Thawne can only give each other a bewildered look before angrily pointing at each other.
Goku Black/Reverse-Flash: WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD?!
In an attempt to find a way to kill the other permanently, both parties travel back in time at various points in what can only be described as a time-travel mass-murder:
- For Thawne, one of his deaths involves... Goku Black appearing in front of him while he was reading the newspaper at the start of the fight. Thawne's confused expression at the Saiyan's appearance before he's blasted into a bloodied smear says it all.◊
- In another attempt Black makes on a past Reverse-Flash's life, we actually see Thawne setting up Quicksilver's death, pushing a statue in place. After Black travels back to kill another Thawne that just arrived, we see Quicksilver slam into the statue's sword and die shortly after. Humorously, the lyrics even sync up to this scene as well with the nature of Reverse-Flash.
  Thought it was him, but it was me!
After finally taking off Goku Black's time ring, Reverse-Flash gives an absolutely smug shit-eating grin◊ at the Saiyan, before phasing out of the timeline, but not before Flipping the Bird at the insane god.
Reverse Flash: Sorry, was that important?
After Thawne throws Goku Black into the sun, Boomstick lampshades how many battles have ended that way, and wonders if they should start a timeshare.
In the reveal at the end of the episode, we see clips for the next fight "Randy Savage vs Kool-Aid Man", which show that the match is going to be absurd, but we see Wiz and Boomstick interacting with Randy and Kool-Aid and Wiz's reaction says it all.
Wiz: Oh no...
Randy Savage/Kool-Aid Man: Oh YEAH!

Macho Man VS Kool-Aid Man

Apparently, Macho Man is helping Wiz and Boomstick with his own analysis!
It turns out that Wiz and Boomstick are... in the woods, meeting with Ringmaster who got a tip on Boomstick's dad. Because of that, Wiz doesn't have anything to help calculate the feats of both characters. He calls Jocelyn for help... just to find her stacking a bunch of completed Rubiks Cubes together. They all crumble when he calls her.
Really, you could just take the fact that this fight is actually HAPPENING as this. Who would've thought a silly joke idea that appeared in a Death Battle Cast back in 2017^note would've become SO requested, the team actually ended up making it reality? And as the 150th episode special no less!
The whole reason the fight started? Apparently, only one can use the legendary catch-phrase...
Kool-Aid Man: Oh, yeah?
Macho Man: Ohh, yeah!
As it turns out, Macho Man is not Boomstick's father. He brings himself back from the dead just long enough to clear up that little misconception.
- Of course, that means if Boomstick's father is nearby, and the main color is red, that means it must be... Kool-Aid Man?
  Boomstick: Oh my god.
- As it also turns out, the guy who tipped DBX's announcer off about Boomstick's father's location was Deadpool! Who, incidentally, has no idea who said father is. But never fear, his pal Macho Man kno... er, wait, he's dead.
- And then it turns out that Kool-Aid Man can bring Macho Man back to life. And does so without asking, because the two of them are apparently best pals who engage in weekly battles to the death with the winner resurrecting the loser so they can do it again without asking.
At the very end of the episode, Boomstick's father reveals, indirectly, who he really is:
Sarge: Wait a Davy Crocket minute! That voice sounds familiar... Great Zeus's juices, did I have a... son?

DIO VS Alucard

Boomstick describes anime the same way Wiz describes vampires — "The spawn of nightmare's form from the blackest pits of man's demented imagination." The kicker? The memetic opening of Blend-S was shown while Boomstick was describing anime.
DIO's rundown in general is filled with related JoJo memes.
- The description of his preview video, the first sentence Boomstick says, and his ending analysis quote are all, "It was I, Dio!"
- Boomstick says that DIO would be determined to achieve heaven, no matter how many breads he'd have to eat.
- Because DIO is involved, there was no way the show wouldn't include the Road Roller:
  - The Road Roller is amusingly referenced in DIO's preview title, "DIO Road Rolls Over DEATH BATTLE!"
  - Boomstick describes it as "the greatest weapon in anime history", followed by footage of the iconic scene where DIO drops it on Jotaro. Boomstick would describe him as a great chef by making pancakes and donuts.
  - Of course it would be present in the animation, where DIO drops it on Alucard. His voice actor Tom Schalk even shouted "Road Roller Da!" while performing the move, followed by "muda muda muda".
  - Even the track artwork for the fight gets in on it, appearing close to the center.
- Two of the clips used for DIO just before the fight are the "You're approaching me" clip and the DIO walk.
When discussing DIO's Healing Factor as a vampire and bringing up a laundry list of things he's survived thanks to it, they reference how another Stone Mask vampire Straizo survived being blown to pieces by grenades via Pulling Themselves Together. The funny moment comes in how they illustrate this via a still of Straizo getting pelted by a bunch of grenades, one of which is actually Sheer Heart Attack.
At the end of DIO's preview, after Boomstick explains how the Jonathan Joestar originally defeated DIO and says that, "everyone lived happily ever after... or maybe not," Wiz says that, "Ohh, we're just getting started."
Wiz: We haven't even gotten to the part where DIO comes back as a horse-riding dinosaur in a race across America against the president of the United States to find the body of Jesus Christ.
Boomstick: Holy crap... That sounds awesome! (to the audience) Alight look, I gotta binge more JoJo, so come back in a few days as we cover Dio's opponent, the vampire hunter Alucard from Hellsing. (to Wiz) So, uh, which chapter was that Dino Jesus thingy?
Wiz: 753. Better get cracking.
Boomstick: Man, JoJo's so weird.
One of the info tabs on DIO's background is "Was down too long in the midnight sea", which is quite the hilarious way to reference the musical inspiration for his name.
While discussing DIO's Stand, The World, Boomstick pulls out a Stand Arrow similar to the one DIO was hit with before accidentally cutting himself with it, giving him his own Stand... Which to no ones surprise is a floating beer can with his hat and mustache which he names 99 Bottles, and it's ability is demonstrated when it turns Wiz into a giant can of beer, causing Boomstick to panic before noticing the beer can, forgetting that it's Wiz, and drinking out of it. And in Alucard's analysis, 99 Bottles turns Wiz into a can again before he turns back this time only for 99 Bottles to do it again.
Right after that, Boomstick goes full on rapid-fire jokes, ticking off Wiz, and also letting off a particularly memorable call back to an infamous episode:
Wiz: As befits a god amongst men, DIO received one of the most powerful Stands in history: The Wor-
Boomstick: ZA WARUDO! (cue The World's time stop effect being heard)
Wiz: ...with it's ability to stop time.
Boomstick: Time, huh? Thanks for the- (cue Wiz hitting him off-screen) Ow!
Boomstick, Mr. Boorish himself, getting increasingly disturbed with DIO's crimes.
- First, there's him ruining Jonathan's childhood.
  Boomstick: Dio tried to go all alpha wolf on JoJo by engaging in such classic sibling pranks as beating him up, molesting his girlfriend, and setting his dog on fire! ...JESUS! You give that creepy dog murderer what for, JoJo!
- Next comes DIO's Lack of Empathy.
  Wiz: Dio used his powers to raise a zombie army to conquer the world... aaand feed a baby to its own mother. (beat) Just for kicks!
  Boomstick: We've met a lot of real pieces of shit on this show, Wiz, (Dio kicks Danny) but I'm starting to think DIO takes the cake!
- Then comes the straw that breaks the back of Boomstick's camel... or perhaps his dog's back.
  Boomstick: So, what did Dio do? Well, he cut off his own head, killed Jonathan on his wedding night, and attached his head to JoJo's body! ...Wow! Cake taken, for sure.
- And finally, Boomstick's Bond One-Liner surrounding DIO's death.
  Boomstick: That's some hardcore karma right there, but it only makes sense that a dog murderer would die like a bitch!
Boomstick describes Alucard's Jackal handgun as "the handgun she told you not to worry about".
Once again, Boomstick uses the end of Alucard's preview to make yet another jab at his ex-wife. Only this time she seems to have heard him.
Boomstick: And after 500 years of unlife, Alucard has consumed literally millions of souls! Sounds like my ex-wife. Heh heh!
Wiz: Your ex-wife has killed millions of people and devoured their souls in order to harness them in a crusade against the forces of darkness, blurring the line between those who stare into the abyss and the abyss that stares back?!
Boomstick: Yeah, she's a real bitch.
Wiz: Well... (to the audience) Come back next week for our long-awaited Halloween episode, DIO VS Alucard. In the meantime-
Boomstick: Oh, god, she's coming! I CAN FEEL HER!
How does the fight start? Alucard seemed to be on a walk.
During DIO's Badass Boast to Alucard after shredding him with some knives, his signature line ends up... stumbling a bit, with the usually Evil Sounds Deep vocals he has noticably dropping in pitch.
DIO: How oh, so very weak, dog! You'd thought you'd triumph, but it was I...! (cue him realizing his attack didn't quite hit his mark) ...Dio?
DIO's horrified screams as Baskerville proceeds to maul him are darkly hilarious, especially considering that in JoJo, dogs have a poor track record of surviving, with one of DIO's earliest acts of cruelty being kneeing and later burning alive Jonathan's dog, Danny.
Right before Alucard unleashes his blood waves, The World attacks the dark mounds. After two punches, it gains a hilarious Oh, Crap! expression before the blood flows everywhere.
Boomstick's ending pun is so lame, Wiz says that his puns are the worst in the world, causing Boomstick to immediately jump on Wiz's case because he made a pun of his own.
Boomstick: Alucard got Di-owned!
Wiz: (facepalms) Ugh, Boomstick, you tell the worst puns in the world.
Boomstick: That's right, and you’re just gonna have to DIO with it. And, hey, wait a minute, that was a pun, THAT'S MY TERRITORY, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS!!
The ending of the episode is a... particularly unique one, as it seems DIO wants to make sure his new name is remembered more than his old full name.
Wiz: The winner is Dio-
DIO: (Suddenly showing up mid-announcement) ZA WARUDO!! (cue a time stop going off as the episode ends)

Akuma VS Shao Kahn

At the end of Akuma's preview, Boomstick suddenly takes off to pack for a vacation to Tahiti, to Wiz's surprise.
Wiz: No you're not. We'll still be busy with research for at least another month... or decade.
Boomstick: Uh, no. You will be busy, Wiz.
Wiz: But, you're supposed to-
Boomstick: Welp, gotta pack. Later nerd! (leaves)
Wiz: Uh, uh, nah...
Once again, Boomstick sings part of the Mortal Kombat theme, but this time with stock dance music playing in the background because they don't have the licensing rights to the actual song. Boomstick stops singing so he and Wiz don't get sued.
Shao Khan decides that the Fourth Wall means nothing as he lambasts Boomstick on his puns:
Boomstick: Yeah, he really loves hearing himself talk. Even when it leaves him totally open! I guess he doesn't Khan-sider the Khan-sequences of his Khan-stant taunting.
Shao Khan: (Off-screen) Is that your best? (Wiz and Boomstick panic)
Boomstick: I'd-I'd thought it was funny...
Shao Khan: You suck.
Wiz: Ahhh... moving on!
While Shao Kahn declaring a "Flawless Victory" for his triumph over Oni is undeniably a badass moment... To a seasoned Mortal Kombat player, it's rather ironically humorous considering a Flawless Victory means winning without taking damage. Keep in mind, Kahn's saying this with a Torso with a View, and after getting pummeled by plenty of Oni's moves as well.

Korra VS Storm

Korra's preview starts off not by Wiz or Boomstick but by some narrator, similar to how episodes of her home series start, leaving Wiz and Boomstick baffled.
Boomstick: Wiz? Who was that?
Wiz: Did you leave the door open again?
Narrator: Deuces, gents!
Once again, there's an obligatory shout-out to Captain Planet when discussing the four elements, only Boomstick seems to have gotten sick of it.
Boomstick: Water, earth, fire, air...
Ma-Ti: Heart.
Boomstick: Not you.
After discussing using how the Avatar reincarnation cycle works, Wiz decided to demonstrate by using Boomstick, who's eating a banana, not really paying attention, an identical clone body of Boomstick, and an anvil. Boomstick doesn't have enough time to react as Wiz pulls a rope, dropping an anvil on his head. As Wiz expected, an orb of light exits Boomstick's body and approaches the cloned body... only to suddenly shoot into DUMMI.
Boomstick: Hey Wiz, (glitching) I feel funny...
He and DUMMI scream.
DUMMI: Why are there two of me?
They scream again.
Boomstick: Where'd my banana go?
They scream once again and fall to the ground as Wiz facepalms.
Wiz: Ugh, I cut off his leg and everything...
After seeing how many different powers Storm has, Boomstick wishes that he had a bunch of writers to give him random powers just because it'd be funny, and then flies away to grab a beer using the rocket hands that he's always had.
How does the battle begin? With Korra trying to meditate. Keyword is trying, since she gets bored after about three seconds.
The Cabbage Merchant returns! In the Spirit World! Because somehow, he's spiritual enough to be there?!
Cabbage Merchant: My cabbages! I'll never be safe!

Madara VS Aizen

At the end of Madara's preview Boomstick revealed that he tried to gain eyes similar to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan by transplanting the eyes of a random stranger, claiming that they were related by eyes. This ends up becoming a Brick Joke in Aizen's preview when it somehow worked between the previews, while revealing that Mama Boomstick owns her very own Zanpakutō. Wiz attempts to refute this by stating that it would require Boomstick to be related to the Uchiha by blood until he realises what that means.
Boomstick is a Shipper on Deck for Madara and Hashirama, telling Wiz they're his OTP.
The sheer irony of Boomstick of all people pointing how irresponsible it is to put Fire and Wood Style Jutsus together, which is what Madara specializes in.
Boomstick's comment after listing off the abilities that the Rinnegan gives Madara:
Boomstick: As if he needed any more fucking powers!
Boomstick describes the Rinnegan as the "Big Chungus of all eye magic."
Wiz trying to comprehend Madara's insane preparation and Thanatos Gambit (twice), with a corkboard of multiple characters and scenes from ''Naruto''. His voice goes higher as he goes into how absurd and unlikely Madara's plan was, yet it still worked out, culminating in him passing out at its sheer insanity. It ends with Boomstick talking to the audience.
Boomstick: Look what you people have done to him.
Wiz finishing this ramble by describing Madara's Assimilation Plot as "creating the world's greatest naptime ever!"
The fact that, after describing Madara's most powerful feat, Boomstick has a... certain quote to say.
Boomstick: Is there a character that could possibly even touch Madara Uchiha?
Boomstick mocks Aizen's glasses, calling him a dork.
Boomstick salutes the chair Aizen is strapped to after his defeat, declaring it "Chair-Sama, strongest character in all of Bleach!"
Aizen smugly looks down on Madara for being human as the fight begins. When Madara makes him eat those words immediately afterwards, Aizen practically growls at him to not get full of himself.
Aizen's wide-eyed facial expression upon being headbutted by Madara.
Aizen puts up a barrier to block an attack from Madara with a smug grin. Madara dispels the barrier, and Aizen briefly has a look that combines "Wait, what just happened?" and "Oh, Crap!" right before getting hit.
Boomstick's Bond One-Liner after the fight:
Boomstick: Sosuke should've kept his Aizen the prize... en.
Wiz: Do you feel any shame at all?
Boomstick: Eh, Madara-tly. Ha! Double pun! Suck it, Wiz.

Saitama VS Popeye

In Saitama's preview Wiz notes that Saitama's passion came from "saving a butt chinned child from a crab monster in underwear", before declaring "that was a sentence".
Boomstick describes Popeye's extremely scratchy voice as sounding like "smoking packs of Marlboro factories a day" and his singing as the sound of angry cat sex.
Wiz: How do you even know-? Never mind.
While going over Popeye, Wiz and Boomstick are swiftly met with the... Values Dissonance of Popeye's classic shows, with Boomstick concerningly mentioning the World War II era racial stereotypes^note, and Wiz stopping as he realized Popeye was about to turn some Native Americans into something potentially offensive with his punch. Both cases have the video pausing before said stereotyping could occur.
After speaking of Saitama's feats of destroying mountains and meteors, Boomstick is excited to find out Saitama's training regime, after hearing it though, he reacts appropriately:
Boomstick: You've gotta be shitting me...
In the feats portion of Saitama's bio we see all feats we would expect from him, except for the last one which states that he can wiggle his ears.
Boomstick's reaction to Popeye surviving reality turning off:
Boomstick: That's right, this big whatever the hell that is is apparently god, and he turned off reality to kill Popeye and his friends! 'Cause why not? Except, guess what? Popeye was fine! Why? Because he eats his spinach!
- Similarly, his reaction to Popeye somehow surviving getting turned into nothing:
  Boomstick The dude has literally been disintegrated into nothingness, then his nothingness grabbed a spinach can out of nowhere and ate it. Nothing ate it He's nothing… and then he came back good as ne- I don't, I don't know…
How does the fight begin?
- Saitama was complaining over how expensive Segar's Spinach was and decided against buying it, so Popeye pops out of the logo on the can and punches the Caped Baldy to the other side of the store.
- The price tag on the can reads ¥15.00, which is about 13 American cents at the time of this writing! Either Saitama is flat broke, or the writers didn't do their math properly. An alternative explanation is an "Oh yeah, Saitama lives in Japan" moment on behalf of the animators, hastily changing a $ to a ¥ without accounting for the fact that yen usually isn't decimalized. $15.00 for a can of spinach? Yeah, can't really blame Saitama for passing up on that one.
After hitting Saitama with his signature Tornado Punch and causing him to knock down the front of the grocery store, Popeye steps outside, shuts the door, and then lifts the store front back into place like a name card on a table.
Popeye comes face to face with Saitama's signature 'DEATH' punch. Instead of trying to avoid the attack. Popeye pauses and squints to try and read the kanji on his fist.
Popeye: Hmm, I can'ts read that- *explodes into Ludicrous Gibs*
Among Popeye's body parts that fall back down, there's an anchor, an oar, a scuba tank, swim fins, and a lifebuoy. Basically everything associated with a Sailor Man.
Saitama's reaction to Popeye reviving himself through the power of spinach? His legendary "Okay" meme, of course!
If you look closely at the Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs scene at the start, a couple of Popeye's fists are replaced with cartoon "400 lbs" iron weights - the kind you'd usually see partake in some Anvil on Head shenanigans.
At one point in the fight, both Saitama and Popeye managed to land a hit on each other's... groins. For added hilarity, they were bouncing around the scene with pinball noises!
Popeye punches Saitama so hard that the animation changes from hand drawn to 2D sprites. As Saitama is frantically running backwards to try and stop himself while flying back through some clouds, Popeye chases after him by rowing so fast that his boat stays airborne. What follows is a scene that is framed like a top down 2D shooter, as the sailor dodges shockwaves from Caped Baldy's punches.
After the fight shifts from 2D sprites back to hand-drawn animation, Popeye realizes, as he's currently flying into the air, that he has no idea how he's going to get back down.
Popeye's 3D model design takes a lot from DC Comics Captain Ersatz of Popeye, Captain Horatio Strong - being ridiculously muscled and having tattoos all over. Essentially making it a Recursive Adaptation. If you squint, it also takes some animation from Senator Steven Armstrong of all people. And they make his 3D sprite one ugly mother. No wonder his father abandoned him as a child for being ugly as stated in his intro.
The hilariously nonchalant exchange between the two on how Popeye got his strength. For context, they're currently fighting in outer space.
Saitama: Amazing! This is amazing! How did you get so strong?!
Popeye: (cheerfully) I eats me spinach!
Right before Saitama and Popeye collide their punches in space, Saitama's punch has his famous "Death" kanji on it, while Popeye's punch has the Chinese kanji for "Spinach". This wasn't even part of the script either, Ben on twitter confirmed it was Devil Artemis, the 3D animator, who put it in there.
There's something appropriately cartoonishly funny about Popeye drifting towards the sun, only to stand on the surface and launch himself back towards Saitama, sending the sun spiraling cartoonishly away.
Saitama's last words:
"Thank you... weird spinach mascot."
How does the fight turn out? Well, Popeye was the one that dealt the killing blow to Saitama... which turned the latter into a bunch of eggs as they were falling from the sky. He catches a falling egg which has Saitama's iconic blank stare, before concluding the battle with one of his famous ending songs.
Popeye: He took a big gamble, but now he is scrambled, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man!~ *toot toot*
There's something just hilarious about the fact that a fight between Saitama and Popeye eventually turns into a full on DBZ style brawl.
While trying to calculate a potential highball for how strong Saitama could be, a small manga Saitama (In his memetic OK appearance) could be seen commentating on the base assumptions for the highball.
The Season Seven finale had the outcome measured partially in destroyed universes. What is the Season Eight finale’s outcome measured in? Calories.
