DEATH BATTLE

I say Yusuke vs. Ichigo is way better.

Let's just throw him at Yoh from Shaman King. He might stand a chance by the end of the manga.

@Jotaro using Star Platinum: The World: Problem is, after Stardust Crusaders he's using it full time for Diamond Is Unbreakable and Stone Ocean. It's stopped being his trump card like it was in SC and is instead part of his normal fighting style. He wouldn't save it for the end unless he's already overpowering his opponent from the start and only does it to show off.

Could Naruto even damage Ichigo, though? Rukia states early in the manga that spirits like Soul Reapers can only be injured by supernatural weapons and attacks, which is why Ichigo wasn't afraid of Uruhara's sword until he learned it was a Zanpakuto... though the fact that Chad was able to pummel Shrieker with a telephone pole before his Fullbring activated calls that into question.

I guess the tailed beast forms count as supernatural.

Or just chakra in general.

Chakra -> Tailed Beasts in general have a supernatural air about them. Early Naruto canon suggested the Tailed Beasts were demonic in nature, defied nature.

That said, the Tailed Beasts are living chakra, which is a well-researched force in Naruto's setting so... chakra wouldn't really be "supernatural" in that case.

I have no idea whether they count as supernatural or not.

I'd say the soul-energy half of chakra mix is sufficienet to hit ghosts.

Also, energy equivalence and all that, since a lot of energy in Shonen tends to be from within the body or soul, anyway.

Would Inu Yasha be able to take on Ichigo?

No.

InuYasha's Meido Zangetsuha would be the only attack Ichigo couldn't counter... but Ichigo's more than fast enough to dodge it.

We've gone over this enough in the manga threads. We shouldn't consider the "rule" in Bleach that only some people can see or interact with the spirits in Bleach, because one, it's not consistently applied, and two (and more importantly) it's a stupid "I Win" button in these types of conversations that doesn't need to be had.

What about Stands in Jojo? In there only people who also have stands can see or touch them, but that makes crossover fights a bit difficult. Should we just assume those with supernatural senses can see them to make it fairer?

I mean, it's kinda the same deal. Sucks the fun out of the discussion when you're just not gonna give the opposition a chance because of a technicality that only applies to one character's universe.

Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure that whole deal was quietly retconned away in Part 7 to let Gyro be able to fight stands, so I think we can probably ignore it.

That's why I think discussions like that should both include and reject such technicalities. Allows you to cover all the bases .

I also recall similar discussion about Ganondorf only being killable by holy weapons.

Not even, really, if his Triforce of Power is doing its job. They tried to kill him with a consecrated sword in Twilight Princess's backstory. Just left him with a nasty glowy scar and a fancy new weapon. You gotta completely overwhelm him, or strip him of his Triforce somehow.

The Master Sword has some special stuff going for it.

And even it tends to just put him down for a nap most of the time.

I don't recall it being stated in-game that the Sages' Sword was consecrated per sae, just that it was taken for granted by the fanbase that it was magical.

Torrian sort of hinted one of the next charcters in DEATH BATTLE is Wolverine. As for who he is fighting..Bigby Wolf is the most requested

Great, another Marvel character. Cap, Deadpool, Iron Man, Beast, Doom, Wolverine, and maybe Galactus in such a short span.

Eh LT one of the researches for DB hinted that a Marvel Charcter would be coming so i am not surprised. Didn't think it would be Wolvy though.

Also Wolverine vs Predator is a freaking stupid idea like Mewtwo vs Freiza.

Now, now. How good is Wolverine's healing factor again, and can it survive the sort of city-leveling blast the Predator's ship can create?

And then, has Wolverine ever had his skin melted off by plasma before?

Genuinely curious, would Wolverine be considered 'KO' if the Predator just sniped him with the Plasmacaster?

He survived a point-blank nuclear detonation that burned him to down his bones and the marrow and central nervous system contained within them.◊ Apparently it only takes him a few minutes to regenerate everything.◊
