@Guy01. Ultraman lifts the book by himself and carries it to the ship. Him and Superman are supposed to be relatively equal.

I do agree that particular feat is an outlier, though I'm pretty sure it's canon Superman jobs so he doesn't accidentally kill anyone.

[up]It's just a weird feat. And anyway, it's not technically canon now since the New52 Started.

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

The convergence storyline changes that, since it canonized everything superman has done, including pre-crisis and DC One Million.

So with Tifa being pit against Yang, I suppose my Tifa vs Ayla death battle is unlikely.

I think it'd still be a good One Minute Melee though.

I wonder how they would approach a Magical Girl Warrior DB. I know a lot of you want to see a Pretty Cure character, but I'd really like to see Homura in a DB.

Who would she face, though?

[up] We don't even know what Homura's capable of now. If it was her as a Magical Girl, or as Madoka's Emissary, we might have a better point of analysis, but Death Battle uses characters at their strongest and Homura is (SPOILER ALERT) a God of Evil as of Rebellion.

Isn't it also their most iconic? So that would be time stopping magical girl, right?

Also who would she go up against?

She and Madoka are probably two of the strongest Magical girls ever, being practically goddesses.

Maybe Sailor Moon post ascension to Neo Queen Serenity, or if she actually is Sailor Cosmos, but even then, we can't be sure if that's enough to match Homura.

That'd be an interesting battle. Usagi was Madoka before Madoka came along, and has a much better record at defeating enemies on the level (or possibly beyond) of Walpurgisnacht without needing to die or transcend the mortal plane to do it.

Plus, she's probably better at taking bullets if we take that one episode in S where Uranus and Neptune tanked multiple bullets and didn't die at face value.

Well, I meant Pre-Rebellion, but this being Death Battle, they'd probably squeeze in Devil Homura.

[up][up][up] Infinity Silhouette from Heartcatch Pretty Cure [1] is an option considering she is 5,000,000 meters tall, the size of a Chou Ginga Gurren-Lagann, and beats the big bad who was outright punching earth to a pulp with no effort.

It was probably inspired by Madoka too.

More like the other way around, it came out 2 months before Ultimate Madoka.

It is quote interesting that they are giving her Premium Heart, due the fact that in Link Vs. Cloud, Cloud only had his Buster Sword.

[up] I'm guessing because it's her most iconic weapon, whereas Cloud's Buster Sword is more iconic than his Fusion Sword from Advent Children or Ultima Weapon.

Also, in Link VS Cloud, they could easily have given Link any of his stronger swords (like, say the Biggoron Sword) if Cloud was given access to any of his upgraded weapons, too.

More tit jokes. Stay classy, DB.

Tifa actually has used Premium Heart in other media, right? Makes sense.

Also, I'm starting to lean Tifa right now tongue This is definitely going to be close.

After absence of tit jokes in Yang's preview, I was bit worried, but now all is back to normal. Inner peace restored.

I always though Yang didn't have any breast jokes because she wasn't as well known for them like Tifa was. That being said, I would have liked to see Boomstick go without making any for one one female Deathbattle.

Boob jokes are fine, so long as they don't make up the majority of the content for the episode, like Ivy vs. Orchid did.

Well, that's what you get when both characters involved are highly infamous for their boobs (in different ways, admittedly), moreso than most big-breasted fanservicey female characters. Ivy, who already epitomizes Stripperific Ms. Fanservice-ness, is pretty much the poster girl for Breast Expansion-type Fanservice Pack taken to possibly absurd levels over the course of her appearances (as helpfully illustrated here), while Orchid kills people by flashing her boobs at them. It shouldn't be a surprise that Boomstick would take every possible chance to crack a lewd joke about their busts.
