DEATH BATTLE

It was only able to access those forms after combining with the other Tengan Toppa Gunmen and receiving an infusion of Spiral Energy from Lordgenome, so Gurren Lagann wouldn't be able to access those forms.

Just a little update about Godzilla VS. Gamera, though y'all probably already know about it from the stream.

It also contains a new Death Battle: Ben's new PC VS. his old Mac's hard drive.His PC wins as it naturally eats Macs.

Man, that kind of makes me sad.

I mean, I'm not mad at them, but I'm disappointed that it's lost and feel bad for them trying to make up for it.

That doesn't look like a PC. That's a laptop.

... Oh wait, "PC" stands for "personal computer", not "desktop computer". <thwaps own head> Dammit, I keep confusing the two terms out of sheer habit. Doesn't help that in Saudi Arabia, "PC" has been misappropiated to refer to desktop computers due to 1) ignorance on part of most Saudi Arabians born out of low proficiency with English, 2) too much laziness to try and correct themselves on what they usually perceive as a "trivial" issue, 3) both.

Anyway, my sympathies go to them. I have 99% of my personal data stored on not one, but two external hard drives due to the limited space on my laptop's hard drive, and had to change to bigger drives 3 times now, with a 4th change being something I need to do within the next few weeks.

Who would make a good opponent for the Green Goblin?

Hobgoblin.

The fight that never went down in the Comics proper.

Norman and Roderick Kingsley, the original Hobgoblin still haven't come to blows while both of them were in full costume (there was a comic arc where they fought each other, but Norman had a guy wearing the goblin costume acting as a proxy and when they did fight, Norman was still in a business suit).

I'm surprised they haven't done it yet. Hell, I'm surprised we haven't seen it in any form of media yet.

And in another instance, Norman actually fought Hobgoblin, until it was revealed that it was a guy hypnotized to act exactly like Kingsley. Hehe.

And I'm sure it then turned out to be a Doombot programmed to act like the Hobgoblin acting like that other guy being hypnotized to act like the Hobgoblin.

Or something.

Indeed. Kingsley likes sending proxies - like Ned Leeds, his own brother, and his butler - to do his fights for him whenever Stormin' Norman challenges him to a duel.

Any other takers?

Hobgoblin does it all time, it's how they kept the mystery of his identity going for a few years. He probably pulls that as much as Trope Namer Doc Doom.

True, but I honestly think they really need to just have Kingsley and Norman throw down. One true Green Goblin vs One true Hobgoblin. No bullshitting.

Not like the 90's cartoon, where they fought, but it didn't really count because Kingsley wasn't the Hobgoblin there, Jason Macendale was; he didn't have the Goblin powers, just the costume and weapons; and it was in the 90's Spider-Man cartoon, so it was watered down beyond belief.

The problem is, Osborn and Kingsley have - or rather, had - the exact same powers and equipment.

And they're both Geniuses.

The only difference between them is that Kingley is saner.

He may be completely sane, but he did dress up in a Goblin costume, so he's not normal, but he's not as bug fuck crazy as Norman can be.

Yeah, but by that logic, Unit 01 can't access the power it got from taking down Zeruel.

No, that power is more equivalent to the wings that the Gurren Lagann stole from a Beastman's plane. It's a power stolen from a killed enemy that doesn't require any extra allies I pilots.

Besides, the Rebuild Zeruel fight showed that that was just one way of attaining that power. Under the right conditions, Shinji can cause that state without having to take in outside elements.

The "power" she got from Zeruel in the original continuity was an S2 organ, which enabled her to move about without a power cable. A better analogy would be to Goku's Super Saiyan Level 4 form vs. Vegeta's Super Saiyan Level 4 form - both needed help attaining it at first, but Goku retained the ability to use it without subsequent outside help, whereas Vegeta still needed his wife's aid to attain that form. Unit-01 is comparable to Goku, while Gurren Lagann is comparable to Vegeta.

Well, it was only after she absorbed Zeruel's core that she kicked off Third Impact. The same applies for Evangelion 13 in 3.0 However, she did display Angelic powers prior to that and after being sealed away by Nerv.

So... I heard that The Mysterious Mr Enter is hosting a project called '1001 Animations' on Deviantart, and he's inviting users to post entries about their favorite animated films/ cartoon episodes/ web animations. I decided to hop on and submit an entry about Fox vs. Bucky, my personal favorite DB episode.

Here it is. Thoughts? Agree/ disagree?

While that particular episode wasn't my favourite, I think it was a good idea to submit it. And in answer to your riddle... it's a gun, isn't it?

Close... it's bullets.

And thanks!

Ehh... close enough.

So, I don't know if this is a good idea or not for a battle, but my brain came up with it while I was asleep.

Kenshiro vs Juggernaut

Let's see... Juggernaut has military training and is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant even without his powers. So long as he uses his powers for personal gain and doesn't try to draw upon an alternative power source, Cyttorak grants him limitless strength to the point where he's KO'd the likes of the Hulk and Thor; a semi-divine body with skin, muscle, and bones exactly four times as dense as a normal human's; limitless stamina without the need to eat, drink, or sleep at all; a healing factor exceeding Wolverine's; the ability to create an extremely-difficult-to-penetrate forcefield; and being almost impossible to stop once he gets going. His Crimson Cosmos Armor is supernatural in nature and can be summoned and repaired at will, and renders him immune to psychic attacks - his main weakness aside from magic - unless his helmet is removed.

Kenshiro is a master of the 108 sects of Nanto Sei Ken, the Hokuto Shin Ken, and the Hokuto Sōke no Ken fighting styles; can deliver 50 punches in the span of 3 seconds to a person's lethal pressure points while Kiaiing in falsetto; has Super-Senses like Innate Night Vision and being able to smell things as good as a hound; can move 100 meters in 9 seconds and jump 9 meters; project a barrier of ki that can damage his surroundings; stop bullets with his muscles alone; shatter a 5 meter thick rock with a single punch; send a 200 kg man flying 25 meters with a single kick; survive five times the lethal dose of potassium cyanide; has borderline eidetic memory; and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
