*** Not to mention, this episode comes right after Gojo vs Makima, which arguably seems like a more traditional Halloween episode, being between two prominent figures of the most recent and Horror themed Shonen at the time, and ''also'' has the (Ironically dog-loving) antagonist die at the end.

** One of the lines in the soundtrack is "Who can win, a new god or the hands of a titan?", foreshadowing that this isn't a battle between Darkseid and Thanos, it's a battle between Darkseid and ''the Infinity Gauntlet''. The power of the Gauntlet gives Thanos an advantage, but once it's taken out of the equation, Darkseid makes quick work of him.

** The outcome starts to make a bit more sense when you [[IncrediblyLamePun recall]] that Tracer already has experience dealing with shotgun-totting maniacs, if her fight with Reaper in the museum is anything to go by.

** Long after this battle, [[Creator/JeremyChinshue TerminalMontage]] released the WebAnimation/StarterPokemonBattleRoyale featuring all the starter Pokémon from up to Generation IX. Blastoise fared worse than Charizard as the former died early on while the latter made it quite far, due to one simple context change: the Death Battle looked primarilly at the pokemon games stats and left out any sort of trainer influence on the starters. That restriction went right out the window with the ''Terminal Montage'' battle royale, and it turns out that when you look at the competitive history of pokemon, fire types have historically trumped water types in winrates and usage simply because while they barely learn any counters to water types naturally, they can ''absolutely'' be taught them by trainers.

*** The presence of other many other starter Pokémon meant that Blastoise also has to contend with other starters, including Delphox, who ''can'' naturally learn Sunny Day and thus counter Rain Dance, and Inteleon, who has better speed as shown in Terminal Montage's battle royale. Meanwhile, Charizard can hang in there with
the pokemon games stats and left out any sort of Fire starters that are better likely to outlast the competition.

Blastoise fared worse than Charizard as the former died early on while the latter made it quite far, and that can be explained by the presence of other starters that can take away Blastoise's advantages in its Death Battle. Delphox being able to naturally learn Sunny Day can counter Blastoise's Rain Dance, and the starters with fighting type can better cut through Blastoise's durability. Meanwhile, the dominance of the other fire starters and Fire types being immune to Burn allowed Charizard to stay in longer, with the flying type allowing it to keep up with the fighting types that can better deal with Blastoise.

Fun thoughts as to why Blastoise fared better than Charizard in Death Battle but not in Terminal Montage's Starter Royale.
