--->'''Marx:''' Look, dummy. Sharing money ''is'' the communist vision. Engel's bank was the crank that got the revolution spinning! We gave everything to see the common people advance, I'm so down with the cause I even pawned my own pants! You grew so out of touch [[AbusiveParents you sabotaged your only kid, Edsel's stomach cancer showed more love than you did]], so congrats! [[AllForNothing Your legacy's in ashes!]] Remembered as the fascist sympathizing cause of climate change and ''car crashes''! From your newspaper to your Nazi factory cross the pond, frankly Hank it's clear ''Auschwitz'' side you were on! This battle's been a blowout, like the hemorrhage in your head, I'll leave a Ford as expected. Found on road, ''dead.''

* Godzilla manages to fit a haiku syllable pattern into his rap without messing up the flow, so viewers won't even notice it until he points it out at the end of the quatrain:
-->Damn, I despise you\\
You make weak ''tokusatsu''\\
Soft like some tofu\\
That's a kaiju haiku!

*Lara ends the battle by referencing the urban legend about "the nude code"; supposedly a vide-game controller code that that would remove her character's clothes in her game. Jones has spent much of the battle slut-shamming her over her outfit and the ThirdPersonSeductress nature of her game series, and here she is pointing out that much of that reputation is an exaggeration rather something actually in the games themselves. For the cherry on top, she makes a rhyme based on his real name instead of the "adventurer-name" that he picked for himself.
-->'''Lara''': 'Cause Junior the baby boomer beating me at rapping? That's like my nude code; ''never gonna happen''.

** The dig about Ford's inherited wealth and factory surveillance is especially devastating since Ford dedicated so much of his first verse talking about how he built up a whole industry after getting his start disassembling time pieces and referencing adages like "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" while accusing Marx of inspiring authoritarianism.

* Ford says he'll tear Marxism apart, and he does. First, how leaders who cited him as inspiration, (Mao, Stalin) were dictators with massive body counts, and how Communism could be seen as encouraging laziness.
* Marx then points out Ford's flaws. Hitler cites him by name in ''Mein Kampf'', how Ford's claims to be self-made are nonsense, and his habit of spying on his workers.

* The beat itself is one of the series' best, fitting both men's presences and giving way to some amazing wordplay, but what makes it even more impressive is that it's ERB's first beat done in-house. Really goes to show how much Peter, Lloyd, and their crew have grown since the beginning.
