DEATH BATTLE

What about Gilgamesh vs. Gilgamesh vs. Gilgamesh?

Gilgamesh might put up a fight, but honestly Gilgamesh got this. Too bad Gilgamesh is kind of hopelessly outclassed.

For Gilgamesh vs Noctis, both are monarchs with hyperspace arsenals but with different views of morality.

I'll give points, that section towards the end where the zombies show up and Jill/Lara manage to fight each other while fending them off at the same time was pretty fun and I don't think any fights under the Death Battle banner have done something like that before.

Main criticism I have is that the animator for this fight needs to work on their background skills a little. There were a couple weird moments where Lara/Jill looked like they were standing on top of the trees/bushes instead of in front of them, and the forest's floor in general was really bland-looking (consisting of a few differently-shaded green stripes.) I don't know how much the second issue would've stuck out to me normally but I did notice that before the perspective issues came about.

Hope to see them improve from here, though- this was a good showing on their part.

Thematically I understand, but the thing is power terms; Noctis has like, twelve weapons? That's nice. Gilgamesh has damn near every weapon ever made in his universe. Including one, his personal weapon, that is the incarnation of the Babylonian creation myth.

I mean, Gil could lose depending on how much of an idiot feels like being. See: him vs Shirou.

Against Shirou wasn't him being an idiot so much as him going all out would basically be proving Shirou right (because it would represent Gil fighting Shirou as a man, not as a god and ruler), and plus Shirou's powerset hardcountered Gil's not-going-all-out-powerset.

In addition, as we've seen before with Sephiroth Death Battle seem fine having characters behave a lot more intelligently than they do in canon.

IIRC, Gilgamesh only has human made weapons, which is why he doesn't have Excalibur, which is made by Fairies.

A human made his keyblade that can unmake a world?

Presumably it's something from his divine heritage. He's 2/3rd god.

Genetics sure are fun

That's why I said, "damn near", because I knew he didn't have Excalibur (though tbf I didn't know why).

I've stopped trying to make sense of Fate

It only makes me mad

Fate's Gilgamesh has uber-powerful Magitek versions of everything humanity has ever come up with and the prototype of every Noble Phantasm ever — aside from divine weapons like Excalibur — stored in the Gate of Babylon. The "sword" called Ea is the one exception, being a divine weapon that IIRC predates the existence of the Earth and a "completely unique existence that can only be possessed by Gilgamesh".

Some divine weapons like Gungnir are also in it because it's considered the same thing as Gae Bolg, a weapon of human origin.

Hax

That's the point.

Gilgamesh is that kid in the sandbox who keeps making up new powers

I mean. You're not wrong.

He's the world's oldest bully.

Anyone thoughts of Devilman Vs Hellboy?

What exactly is Devilman capable of?

You know it?
