Death Battle suggestions for returning combatants sorted through Seasons 6-10.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Remember that they should have at least some common factor. Even the Starscream vs. Rainbow Dash had one; both being popular high flyers in their toylines in Hasbro. Also, no fanon interpretations of characters.
- No creepypasta. They have too many unknowns to be qualified combatants, and Death Battle is known for showing their research.
- Characters who run on the Rule of Funny are generally frowned upon. With no established limits, any scientific limits would be random. However, this doesn't really apply if that is the entire point; if you have a "just for fun" type match up, put it in the Jokes Battles folder.
- No Memetic Badasses after Chuck Norris and Segata Sanshiro (that match-up's enough, thanks!). The fun of the meme is kind of ruined when the show reveals and proves that they're not nearly as badass as all the jokes and facts say. And besides, the aforementioned match ended in an apocalyptic draw. note
- If you see several characters carrying the same consistent theme in this page, be sure to move them here.

They both have mystical and legendary transformations that turns them into more buffed and powerful warriors (Titan Tails and Shazam) both of these transformations comes from a really ancient prophecy, a prophecy that this kids ended up being part of and being lended this powers by multiple people (The Great Harmony prophecy where Tails merged with other versions of themselves and The prophecy of Shazam where the wizard of this same name ended confiding his powers to Billy, powers coming from different gods). They ended up joining the main team of heroes but not without some challenges into becoming a member (Tails was considered not ready to be part of the Freedom Fighters for being too inexperienced and Billy started a conflict between the different branches of the JL) but at the end they would later join and meet the blue and red heroes that they admired (Archie Sonic and Superman). One of their worse enemies is an ambitious and ancient individual from centuries in the past, coming from very ancient civilizations (Mammoth Mogul and Black Adam) who despite the efforts of other mystical beings to stop them (The Ancient Walkers cursing Mogul and the Wizard Shazam sealing Teth-Adam) they would still pose a threat to them and their friends, although they would later take another roles in their universes (Mammoth Mogul being more of a retired villain and Black Adam taking the role of ruler of his country and not a villain). In a multiversal event they would be corrupted by the main villains of those arcs to try and accomplish the goals of this, fighting against their own allies (Tails being transformed by Tails-Man by Eggman in Worlds Collide/Unite and Shazam being infected by The Batman Who Laugh in the Dark Multiverse saga), in this same arcs their stories and families would be retconned (Tails parents and other stuff being changed after the Genesis Wave and Billy origins and history being retconned in the cosmic upheavals of this arc)

In their youth, both were introduced to an ability passed down through their noble families which allowed them to distort and manipulate space by imprinting the very fabric of it with a limitless convergence of a concept, with both being referred to as wielding "the power of infinity". As a result of this mastery, both have general good nature can give way to a proud, almost arrogant persona, with both being notable for their sharp tongue and general lack of respect for both friends and enemies. They also become known as the two most adept users of this ability thanks to the utilization of a specialized eye(s) that significantly augments their mastery of this ability and allows them to utilize their abilities to a greater extent as well as operate with additional supernatural ocular abilities that greatly enhance the natural usefulness of their line of sight)
- Kakashi Hatake
- Souji Tendou (Incredibly powerful fighters with Buddhist imagery of their egos. Have insanely broken abilities (Domain Expansion, Hollow Purple, Clock Up, Hyper Clock Up) that not many can really counter (but still do). âThroughout heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one.â vs "The man who walks the path of Heaven, and rules over all." The organizations they work along don't like their carefree and solo actions, but they can't afford to go against them as they're the strongest choices against the enemy.)
- Kisuke Urahara
- Merlin
- Osamu Dazai (Eccentric Mentors to the protagonists of long-running supernatural action manga, who they take in after discovering that they are the vessel for a powerful, but uncontrollable monster. Both usually act silly to the point of annoying others, something they do intentionally, but can get serious when the time calls for it. Both have an ability that is considered extremely powerful in the context of their story, to the point that the villains often focus on getting them out of the way first, as any interference from them is likely to ruin their plans. Both also have a serious, blond-haired coworker they tend to annoy, and a past connection to the Big Bad)
- RJ (Bunny-Ears Lawyer Trickster Mentors with a Purple Is Powerful motif entrusted to the main group of 3 protagonists so they can eventually take out a demon lord inhabiting the body of a schoolboy [Sukuna possessing Yuji for Gojo, and Da Shi possessing Jarrod for RJ]. Both were rather hard to take seriously at first, but then prove themselves and then some by giving the main antagonist at the time an utter Curb-Stomp Battle with no powers. They have powers involving a special dimension [Morphin Grid for RJ and Domain Expansion for Gojo], a special generational trait they try to hide [RJ has an animal spirit which he doesn't want to embrace at first but after learning something valuable he accepts it and become the purple ranger, Gojo was born with the Six Eyes grants him incredibly powerful Super-Senses and perception of Cursed Energy, so he usually wears a blindfold or thick sunglasses to lessen the chance of Sensory Overload. That, and he also just doesn't like how they look], and real-life martial arts in conjunction with them [Gojo has Jujutsu, RJ has Kung Fu]).

- Arcueid Brunestud (Hostile, sadistic, dispassionate monsters [Devil and Vampire] who hold opposing viewpoints on their powers and humanity [Makima relishes in those that fear her nature as the Control devil and mocks upon human and animal life forms as mere dogs, whereas Arcueid loathes being a vampire due to their bloodlust nature], were born out of the desire to control humans [Makima is conceived by the humans' fear of control, whereas Gaia creates True Ancestors like Arcueid as a means to counter humanity's lust for resources and corruption of the planet's environment], both are powerful members of their race and held well-respected positions of power [Makima as an officer of the Public Safety Devil Hunter Organization, and Arcueid as the Princess of the True Ancestors], with an understood goal of ruling over large domains of land [Earth and The Millenium Castle Brunestud], their upbringing and power came at a price of authoritative powers restraining them from simple human rights [the government denying Makima love and care and Arcueid was truly alone as the True Ancestors merely treated her as a weapon and had been frequently prohibited from exploring the human world], getting to be treated as machines, were subjects of authoritarian abuse until they came across the main character [Denji and Tohno Shiki] with ties to incarnations of their past selves [Chainsaw Devil and SHIKI Tohno] during a mission to exterminate monstrous incarnations [Various Devils and Michael Roa Valdamjong]; fascinated by their hidden abilities [Pochita and Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception], the two took them under their wings to teach them the ways of hunting down the monsters in their world [Makima's treatment of Denji is a means to take hold over the world using the Chainsaw Devil that he possesses in his heart; she does not authentically provide the same care to Denji himself alone whereas Arcueid's relationship with Shiki fulfills her desire to live among the humans], possess a strong level of hypnotism [Makima's nature as the Control Devil and Mystic Eyes of Enchantment], are notably the strongest characters in their respective worlds, both of their powers make practical use of large domains of the world as a resource [the Prime Minister contract and Gaia], and heavily associate their power with chains. In contrast, the two share opposite motifs of freedom and control, in which Makima has a "control" theme [She is the Control Devil, her powers allow her to control anything she sees as below her] whereas Arcueid has a freedom theme [She grew up alone in a castle, loses any and all control of her senses in her bloodlust state])
