History Characters / DeathBattleSeasonTwoPart3

* AwesomeMcCoolname: His official stage name in the dub brings imagery of both [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hercules]] and {{Satan}}.

* MartialArtsStaff: Can use his bow as one quite effectively for close combat.

* SimpleStaff: Can use his bow as one quite effectively for close combat.

* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: One of Superman's listed feats is lifting the [[UpToEleven book of infinite pages]]. Reading the issue proper reveals he did this ''[[DefiedTrope without]]'' the book's permission!

* PhysicalGod: [[UpToEleven Even more so than in the first round]], where he starts cutting loose from the start because of knowing what Goku can do and just how strong the Saiyan is, as well as the fact they destroyed the Earth last time by mistake due getting too involved in the fight.

* LightningBruiser: On top of Yang's more obvious strength and durability feats, she also happens to be very athletic, although she does lack the agility and grace of her teammates [[SquishyWizard Weiss]] and [[FragileSpeedster Blake]]. She is capable of dodging rockets and machine-gun fire and jumping at least 40 feet in a single bound. She can also use the boost from Ember Celica if she needs to quickly cover the gap between her and an opponent. Her Semblance cranks her speed UpToEleven.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Previously established that the Charizard species is a ProudWarriorRace by default, but Ash's Charizard sometimes takes it UpToEleven, even forcing his trainer to allow him to battle (sometimes with a well placed [[BreathWeapon Flamethrower]]) if it thinks it's found a WorthyOpponent.

* CoolHat: His trademark Robin Hood-style cap, although more modern depictions usually have him in a [[InTheHood green hood]] instead.

* SuperReflexes: One of his listed feats includes tagging Speed Demon, who runs at the speed of sound. This allows him to keep up with the far faster Raiden for the most part before eventually being killed.
* SuperSenses: His senses of smell and hearing are superhumanly acute. This allows him to counter his opponent's stealth such as detecting and dodging a stealth attack attempt from Raiden, and return the favor with [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom Berserker Barrage X.]]
* SuperSpeed: One of the many mutant powers listed in his analysis includes enhanced speed, which allows him to move faster than the eye could see.

* SuperReflexes: In Blade Mode (mistakenly referred to as [[AttackItsWeakPoint Zandatsu]] in the analysis), Raiden's perception of time is slowed to anywhere between 50 to 90%, allowing him to perform precision slices or rapidly slash his opponent multiple times.
* SuperSpeed: As a cyborg, he's fast enough to outrun bullet trains and run on walls. While his opponent can match this agility with his SuperReflexes, Raiden still has other things going for him in his favor.

* AntiRegeneration: The deciding factor in Raiden's win is that the Murasama blade could exploit Wolverine's [[AchillesHeel weakness of needing an intact brain]] that powers his HealingFactor by slicing apart that pesky adamantium skull of his protecting their cranium.

* GlassCannon: He's this compared to his opponent being far stronger, faster, and having better offensive options but isn't as durable as him. With whatever kind of muscle he could exert, Raiden is someone that Wolverine would be no stranger fighting against and have no problem [[VictoryByEndurance outlasting]] the cyborg given that Raiden runs on a limited amount of fuel before needing to recharge. Fortunately, he had the right gear for the job as the Murasama could bypass Wolverine's adamantium defenses and nullify the HealingFactor while at it.
* HourOfPower: Raiden's Super Modes while powerful, could only be sustained by a limited amount of fuel that is rapidily burnt through whenever these modes are in use and that it could only be recharged by absorbing more fuel cell electrolytes from other cyborgs.

* LightningBruiser: His Ninja Run can chase a train, he's agile enough for impromptu hardcore parkour, his Blade Mode allows him to slice stuff really fast, and he's strong enough to [[https://youtu.be/RypphRK14t8?t=2m11s throw a Metal Gear RAY skyhigh]]. [[UpToEleven And that was before he got an upgrade in]] ''Rising''..

* StoneWall: He's this compared to his opponent, having less brawn and offensive options than the CyberNinja but a combination of his adamantium skeleton and HealingFactor makes him far more tougher and last for longer periods of time. With this level of stamina, endurance, and durability at his side, he had the means to pull off a VictoryByEndurance against Raiden considering that the cyborg runs on a limited amount of fuel and that Wolverine has fought foes far stronger than his opponent and survived. However, the High-Frequency Blade ruined that pathway to victory by cutting through his defenses and kill him for good.

* SuperStrength: His healing factor not only makes him nigh-immortal, it boosts his physical abilities, allowing him to lift to 2 tons. However, his opponent is demonstrated to be much stronger as Raiden could lift giant Metal Gears that weigh over 1000 tons and cut with enough force to slice through machines built to survive nuclear wars.

* SuperStrength: This guy can [[https://youtu.be/RypphRK14t8?t=2m11s throw a Metal Gear RAY skyhigh]]. Wiz calculates the RAY's weight to be over 1,000 tons, and he did it before he got an enhanced cyborg body that boosted his strength even more. He is proven to be greater stronger than his opponent but that strength wouldn't mean [[{{Pun}} jack]]shit if it weren't for his High-Frequency Blade.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He gets all six of Wolverine's claws get plunged into his chest and come out the other side, seemingly in his last moments. However, he breaks free once Jack the Ripper comes out to let a rip.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: All six of Wolverine's claws get plunged into his chest and come out the other side. Turning off his pain inhibitors to enter Ripper Mode and headbutting Wolverine allows him to break free.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Not only does his healing factor suppress traumatic memories, but Weapon X repeatedly wiped his memories and inserted false ones to boot.

* DecapitationRequired: Stated by Charles Xavier to be one of the few ways to bypass Wolverines regeneration. In the fight, this is how Raiden finishes him off, coupled with shredding the decapitated head into pieces for good measure.

--> '''Wolverine''': '(While sniffing out Raiden) No use hidin', bub. ''The nose knows.''

* FeelNoPain: His cyborg body comes with pain inhibitors which needs to be turned off if he wants to feel pain and enter [[SuperMode Ripper Mode]] It gives him the extra edge to stand against Wolverine in his [[SuperMode Berserker Rage]] and win.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: When he allows his AxCrazy Jack the Ripper personality to take over, Raiden's black cyborg body starts glowing red as well. In the fight, his various wounds further punctuate the effect when he finally activates it during the climax.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Raiden's eye glows red when his [[AxCrazy Jack the Ripper]] personality takes over.
* SuperMode: Ripper Mode, which gives Raiden a substantial boost in power at the cost of his psychosis acting up. This last-second power-up activates when he's pierced by Wolverine's claws, and the boost is enough for him to behead the mutant. His Blade Mode [[CriticalResearchFailure (incorrectly called Zandatsu)]] is also treated as such by the Death Battle crew.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Ripper Mode involves Raiden being taken over by Jack the Ripper.

* WolverineClaws: The TropeNamer as he possesses six retractable bone claws between his knuckles, which were later coated in adamantium and turned into even deadlier blades that [[AbsurdlySharpClaws can easily cut through almost anything]].

* WolverineClaws: Wolverine possesses six retractable claws between his knuckles, which were coated in the indestructible metal adamantium and turned into blades that [[AbsurdlySharpClaws can easily cut through almost anything]]. Fittingly, he is the TropeNamer.

* AnArmAndALeg: A victim of this trope in his appearances as a cyborg, such as losing an arm in both [=MGS4=] and MGR:R. He gets his left arm lopped off via a berserk Wolverine near the end of the battle. However, Raiden enters Ripper Mode, turns the tables around, and delivers the final blow with only one arm. He picks the lost arm up during the post-fight animation, presumably to get it reattached.

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: His adamantium-coated claws can cut through anything with ease.

* TheBerserker: While he tries to keep his temper, Logan has serious anger issues, to say the least. This gives way to his Berserker Rage SuperMode as discussed below.
* BladeSpam: Nowhere near as much as Raiden, but he pulls off a few, most notably at the climax in his [[SuperMode Berserker Rage]] against [[SuperMode Ripper-Mode]] Raiden. He loses.

* DynamicEntry: Destroys a Gekko in front of Raiden, and it's implied he destroyed the previous one that Raiden comes across first.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Raiden's Murasama is plunged right through his chest, and gets stuck there for quite some time. Of course, this being Wolverine, he's not even slowed down by it.

* PreAsskickingOneLiner: When he unleashes his [[SuperMode Berserker Rage]] fury and takes one of Raiden's arms.
-->'''Wolverine:''' Alright, Terminator... ''Now you got me '''mad!'''''
* RasputinianDeath: Practically a requirement for killing him permanently, thanks to his ludicrous survivability. Raiden manages to pull one off by cutting off his head and [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill slicing it to microscopic shreds.]]

* SuperSenses: His senses of smell and hearing are superhumanly acute. During the fight, this allows him to dodge a stealth attack attempt from Raiden, and return the favor with [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom Berserker Barrage X.]]

* WolverineClaws: Wolverine possesses six retractable claws between his knuckles, which were coated in the indestructible metal adamantium and turned into blades that can easily cut through almost anything. Fittingly, he is the TropeNamer.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Any of his bladed weapons can reduce other cyborgs and vehicles into cheese within a moment. And with enough time, the Murasama HF blade can cut through Adamantium.
* AnArmAndALeg: Gets his left arm lopped off via a berserk Wolverine near the end of the battle, contrary to what you'd expect to happen moments later, Raiden survives the fight and delivers the final blow with only one arm. Funny considering he was the victim of this in ''[=MGS4=]'' and ''Rising.'' He picks the arm up during the post-fight animation, presumably to get it reattached.
--> '''Raiden:''' [[LampshadeHanging Shit! Not again!]]

* EvilLaugh: He's not evil, but activating Ripper Mode causes him to do this... like after cutting Logan's head to shreds.

* LeftStuckAfterAttack: His blade temporarily gets stuck in Wolverine after stabbing the X-Man, allowing Wolvie to land some hits on him.

* OhNoNotAgain: He says "Shit! Not again!" when his arm gets cut off by Wolverine. Since it has happened before in [=MGS4=] and MGR:R, he has a good reason to say it.

* PreAssKickingOneLiner: Several. First, near the start, he drops Jetstream Sam's old quote:
--> '''Raiden''': ''Let's dance!''
** Next, when he preps a Quick Draw against Wolverine on the rooftop:
--> '''Raiden''': ''I will end you!''
** This one is in response to Wolverine's BadassBoast above:
--> '''Raiden''': ''I'll just have to swing harder then!''
** Lastly, when he disables his pain inhibitors and enters Ripper Mode:
--> '''Raiden''': ''I think it's time for Jack The Ripper... to let 'er rip!''

* UseYourHead: After he's impaled by Wolverine and activates Ripper Mode, he headbutts Wolverine to break free and continue the fight.

* SuperSpeed: As a cyborg, Raiden's fast enough to outrun bullet trains and run on walls. However, his opponent can match this agility with his SuperReflexes but Raiden still has other things going for him in his favor.

* VictoryByEndurance: This would have been his best shot at winning against his opponent since he could hang in there until Raiden ran out of fuel. However, its far more likely that Raiden killing him with the High-Frequency Blade will occur first rather than Wolverine stalling for time and taking the win at the right opportunity.

* WallCrawl: In the battle, Wolverine uses his claws to climb up the building Raiden jumped up to when the latter tries to give himself some breathing room.

* OffWithHisHead: How he ultimately and finally dies in this battle where Raiden decapitates him with the Murasama before cutting the entire head into many pieces, destroying the brain and killing Wolverine for good.

* SuperSpeed: As a cyborg, Raiden's fast enough to outrun bullet trains and run on walls. However, his opponent can match this agility with his SuperReflexes but Raiden still has other things going for his favor.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Beheads Wolverine, and cuts his head into pieces, which negates his healing factor and clinches the victory for Raiden.

* MadeOfIndestructium: Wolverine's skeleton was fused with an indestructible metal called "adamantium" by Weapon X, greatly increasing his levels of survivability when combined with his HealingFactor. The downsides are that it also actually impairs his healing factor, [[SuperDrowningSkills he can't swim]], and he's vulnerable to magnets and electricity. Turns out not to be as indestructible as previously thought, as Raiden's Murasama can cut through the adamantium's molecular bonds.

* NighInvulnerability: A combination of his broken-ass HealingFactor and [[MadeOfIndestructium adamantium skeleton]] have made Logan an almost unkillable and inexhaustible animal to be reckon with. Unfortunately, his Adamantium skeleton isn't quite indestructible enough to keep Raiden from slicing him up with the Murasama.

* StoneWall: He's this compared to his opponent, having less brawn and offensive options than the CyberNinja but a combination of his adamantium skeleton and HealingFactor makes him far more tougher and last for longer periods of time. With this level of stamina, endurance, and durability at his side, he had the means to pull off a VictoryByEndurance against Raiden considering that the cyborg runs on a limited amount of fuel and given that Wolverine fought foes far stronger than his opponent and survived. However, the High-Frequency Blade ruined that pathway to victory by cutting through his defenses and kill him for good.
