- Doomguy VS Master Chief: Why is Doomguy sluggish and tanking every hit? Why is Master Chief able to deflect all of the chaingun's bullets like that? They aren't the real Doomguy and Master Chief, just two other awesome (at least one of them) Space Marines with the same appearance, but different strategies.
- It could also be representative of their own intelligence levels. Master Chief is a Genius Bruiser and would use terain to his advantage, Doomguy is probably too busy shouting things and claiming he'll RIP AND TEAR Master Chief's guts to do much.
- Master Chief wasn't deflecting the Chainguns bullets - he didn't need to. Those were standard 9mm pistol rounds, and he was wearing the Mjolnir Powered Assault armor - the chaingun simply did absolutely no damage.
- Starscream VS Rainbow Dash: Reasons why the Null Ray doesn't work.
- In-universe, prior to the battle, Rainbow has been given a one-time protection something that saves her from death. Whether it's from a potion or spell (from Princess Celestia, Twilight Sparkle, or somepony else entirely).
- There is more to a pony than meets the eye. For all we know, for all the damage they can take, they probably have something in their physiology that equines in our world don't have that can protect from the Null Ray's effects.
- As they mentioned, she's Ponyville's weather manager, so she obviously has dealt with lightning before. In fact, fan favorite Derpy Hooves got hit with a blast of lightning and outside of being slightly charred and shaken, she was fine after a few seconds, which is pretty much what happened when Starscream used the Null Ray.
- Starscream has shot humans with his null ray and it doesn't inflict any serious harm to them, so why would it bother something with magic powers that can take G-forces that would kill a human 10 times over.
- More or less confirmed. They note that the Null Ray is specifically designed for destroying machinery, and thus has no effect on living organisms.
- Terminator vs. RoboCop:
- The Terminator somehow brought along a weapon from the future into the past, despite that being impossible in his universe. Skynet must have made some sort of dramatic advancement in time travel technology after John Connor proved more difficult to destroy than calculated.
- If you look closely, the weapon was stored in his chest. The rules of the Terminator universe say that only things covered in flesh can travel back in time. The Terminator was covered in flesh, and since the gun was inside him, that fits into the rules. However, what would make it impossible is the fact that no Terminator in the films has been shown to have a chest cavity large enough to hold such a large weapon.
- Luigi vs. Tails:
- For the strength difference: Tails is holding back and meeting his opponent with equivalent force. After all, many of the fights escalate once started; it is possible that both opponents don't intend to kill at first; if that was the case, one character would just use their most powerful attack and finish the enemy that way. It is possible that whatever force makes the meeting of two characters possible also eliminates things like mercy, unwillingness to kill, and the concepts of surrendering or retreating. That way, an escalating fight is the only option. As for why Tails didn't kill Luigi that way, it's simple: there were other ways.
- For the Lightning thing: Tails has psychological weakness to lightning; using it wouldn't guarantee victory by itself. Luigi also didn't know that Tails was afraid of lightning. He could have spammed lightning to send Tails cowering in fear so allow an opening for an easy kill, but he just simply didn't know how it would affect his opponent. The rules of Death Battle forbid such prior knowledge. It was only one of the many attacks he used, and he probably didn't see anything happen to Tails that would make it an obviously better choice than say, an extremely powerful vacuum cleaner or huge hammer or an zone that breaks logic and physics. Yes, he saw Tails blasted into the distance with lightning, but if your opponent simply comes back ready for more, are you really gonna try again?
- Batman Vs. Captain America: Batman actually was Dick Grayson. In addition to explaining why he's still alive, it explains how he was able to beat Cap so easily. Dick regularly kicks the crap out of Deathstroke, who is a more deadly version of Captain America with an indestructible sword instead of a shield.
- Confirmed.
- And, in keeping with the pattern of "If a character wins a Death Battle, the next character from that series will lose and vice-versa", Superman will win because Vegeta won his last Death Battle and Batman lost his. Goku's loss will be due to his Cloud Cuckoolander mentality and a possible appearance of the Muffin Button.
- Confirmed on Superman winning the battle. Jossed about the Muffin Button.
- Because ItsJustSomeRandomGuy is voicing Superman, there may be a segment where Superman and Goku are represented by action figures. Or the other superheroes are watching from the Hero Bar...
- Jossed
- Jokes and Memes from Dragon Ball Abridged will show up. "Kaio-WHAT?" has been confirmed.
- Because of the talent involved, this is really going to be more of a "I'm A Marvel and I'm a DC" VS. "Team ~~Three~~ Four Star's Dragon Ball Z Abridged" fight than a "REAL" Superman vs. Goku.
- As far as the animation is concerned anyway, which has no bearing on the research.
- Jossed. The only previous combatant to show up is Vegeta in the intro.
- Jossed. They confirmed it's release, and released an analysis.
- Jossed, unfortunately.
- Well he has to do something with all his friends and family dead after the Earth blew up due to his Infinite Mass Punch.
- It helps that Goku, being Goku, is almost certainly OK with having died in such a fun fight, and, not holding any grudges and wanting the Earth back, will probably let Superman know about the Namek Balls via King Kai telepathy messaging.
- It's also possible that Superman will charge up in the sun for 15,000 years and become Superman Prime, then travel back to the past and resurrect the Earth and it's inhabitants. How? Because he's now God.
- Confirmed in Goku vs Superman 2, he uses the Dragon Balls to revive Earth and Goku for round two.
- At least in the scenario. Because when the Kryptonite came into play, he wouldn't destroy it and let Supes back up. He'd mock Superman for being weak to a green rock and keep beating him, likely with the Kryptonite. Because Vegeta is a dick like that.
- Some people argue that his Saiyan pride would get the better of him since he himself was cool with letting Cell reach his Perfect form in spite of the huge advantage he had (Regardless, he was still a huge dick the whole time).
- He only let Cell reach his Perfect form because Cell played on the aforementioned Saiyan pride by promising him a much better fight if he allowed him to do so. Before that, Vegeta was seen to be perfectly content on beating down Cell and mocking him for his weakness. So, unless Superman did the same by promising a better fight if Vegeta destroyed the Kryptonite, then Vegeta would likely do as stated above.
- On the other hand, the kryptonite came into play because Goku just happened to blow Superman down into the ONE building in metropolis that one can reliably find Kryptonite in. Vegeta would simply be unlikely to do the same actions that Goku did during the fight, do to different combat styles and slightly different powers. So, in 99 potential fights out of 100, Vegata, without knowing about Kryptonite, where to get Kryptonite, or that Superman is weak to the green rock, would just of lost faster than Goku did.
- Wiz said that the kryptonite could fall from the sky for all he cared, it wouldn't matter but for context. But as stated above, if Vegeta even came across it in any scenario, we all know what he would do if he saw it was Supes' weakness. But also as stated above, a fight between Vegeta and Superman, and any other character for that matter, could happen any other way. But in the end, whoever would truly win will depend on the truth and facts. Especially, here in Death Battle.
- It should also be noted that Superman's reaction to Kryptonite during the battle was HEAVILY exaggerated. It's rare for it to be an instant 'Superman off-button' and usually takes a longer period of exposure for it to actually fully depower him.
- Some people argue that his Saiyan pride would get the better of him since he himself was cool with letting Cell reach his Perfect form in spite of the huge advantage he had (Regardless, he was still a huge dick the whole time).
- It's possible since we already saw a clear reference to it in the preview analysis rundown for He-Man. Maybe an instrumental of it could even show up as the background music for whatever advertisement they'll plug into the episode right before the fight in the YouTube version.
- Confirmed. He-Man's stats list him as "An Excellent Singer?" as stated above, and at the end of the fight, He-Man's victory profile is that of his infamous "HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA" face while inaudibly singing said song to a rainbow background.
- Lion-O will use his power over cats to sway Cringer to his side... if Cringer is even allowed to take part.
- Confirmed. It doesn't really help him much in the end however.
- Jossed. In an interview Wiz and Boomstick mentioned that Super Saiyan God form, even if it had been usable note , would not have impacted the episode's ending significantly.
- Maybe not as jossed as originally thought. The fight of Chuck Norris vs Segata Sanshiro held a possible teaser near the end of the battle when the space time continuum was being destroyed. A picture of two sprites that looked like Superman and Goku.... in his Super Saiyan God form. Whether its a jab at the fans or a sign of things to come is up for debate but this WMG maybe back into the questionable territory for now.
- Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' established that Goku and Vegeta are now able to enter Super Saiyan God form and beyond without outside help, so it is still possible.
- Confirmed, a rematch is in the works and will explicitly contain the Super Saiyan God form.
- All confirmed. Interestingly, the fight isn't even over yet after Shao Kahn's finishing blow on Bison.
- Confirmed on Shao Khan winning the fight.
- Both Toei animation and Akira Toriyama where pissed about the result (hence this being the first Dragonball related thing Toriyama's done in years), so they made a new movie in which Goku gains a new an even more uber Super Mode (Super Saiyin God) to give him the edge in any later rematch. Yes, this makes no sense given that the movie was still being made when the episode in question aired, but it's an amusing thought none the less.
- Jossed. Battle of the Gods was in development way before Goku vs Superman was even announced.
- Jossed, it's Charizard vs. Greymon
- Jossed, unfortunately; brilliant as the idea is, the episode was more Boomstick's traditional Loveable Sex Maniac antics.
- First, to eliminate as many of those warriors as possible in preparation for his eventual plan.
- Secondly, to gather up the remains of the losers, and using a fusion of arcane science and sorcery, combine them into a necromantic, bio-mechanical demigod possessing the combined abilities of every Death Battle loser, to act as the vanguard of his eventual invasion, traveling to every universe in turn to destroy it's heroes before his Dark Master annexes those universes to his own. Of course, this is assuming an entity of such power could be controlled...
- By reference or coincidence, this is the exact plot of an episode of the Teen Titans: http://teentitans.wikia.com/wiki/Winner_Take_All
- First, to determine which warriors are the strongest and more capable over the other, so that many of the superior ones may be gathered together in preparation for his eventual plan.
- Secondly, to battle a major Big Bad that plans to travel to every universe in turn to destroy it's heroes before his Dark Master annexes those universes to his own. Also, exactly as above, it will also gather up the remains of the losers, and using a fusion of arcane science and sorcery, combine them into a necromantic, bio-mechanical demigod possessing the combined abilities of every Death Battle loser, to act as a sentinel against his eventual invasion. As well as the above, this is assuming an entity of such power can be controlled...
- The simulation machine was explicitly confirmed to exist in Meta vs. Carolina. Meanwhile, statements in Eggman vs. Wily and Chuck Norris vs. Segata Sanshiro imply that they're actually observing and affecting alternate universes. This may be how the simulation actually functions, or it may be a separate technology. Either way, it's likely they often perform these simulations as services for the combatants or others close to them, hence why they sometimes host matches they seem initially uninterested in (as with Boomstick questioning if "we're really doing this again" with each appearance of My Little Pony characters, for instance). It's all about the money.
- It happened, but Luigi still lost; Tails was able to beat the Negative Zone by attaching a bomb to Luigi's vaccuum.
- Jossed, previews indicate it's only a battle royal of the first gen starters.
- To clarify for the latter statement, during the "Next Time" preview, three Pokéballs roll onto the screen. In the beginning of Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, Fire Red, and Leaf Green, Charmander is always contained within one of three balls present on the table at Professor Oak's laboratory for the main protagonist to possibly choose as their partner. This may only further enforce Charmander/Charizard's possible appearance.
- Jossed. It's a battle royal of the fully evolved Generation 1 starters.
- JOSSED from what I can tell.
- I know it's kind of a long distance prediction, but it just seems so weird to have someone as powerful and/or iconic as He-Man or Shao Kahn just be in one battle and never be used again.
- Some possible matchups for "Death Battle All-Stars: Rumble In the Jungle":
*** Master Chief vs, Samus Aran (badass super soldiers in powered armor)- Fox vs. Tails (they are both foxes)
- Vegeta vs. Thor (they're both pretty powerful Lightning Bruiser-type fighters)
- Akuma vs. Shao Kahn (The most powerful street fighter and the most powerful kombatant. Let's settle this rivalry once and for all!)
- Orchid vs. Mai (big breasted fighters that fight hand-to-hand)
- Superman vs. Spawn
- Spider-Man vs. Blanka (brute force and speed vs. tactics and powers)
- Zangief vs. Princess Peach (can the famous bear wrestler's strength defeat the petite damsel's magic?)
- Sonic vs. Rainbow Dash (they're both pretty fast)
- Link vs. Leonardo (a good old sword fight is always nice)
- Ragna the Bloodedge vs Dante (white hair, red coats, giant swords, and dark powers)
- Some possible matchups for "Death Battle All-Stars: Rumble In the Jungle":
- Confirmed on the unusable part, since the three will be treated as level 100 wild Pokemon, as such they will have no trainer to have a strong bond with and no way to achieve mega form as a result.
- Knowing that Death Battle likes to use similar combatants (Fett and Samus are bounty hunters, Zangief and Haggar are wrestlers, etc.),who is appropriate? Robocop and Terminator seemed unlikely, considering they've had their own battle, but that image of Fulgore's chest laser created an idea. "Hey, Iron Man! He has a chest laser too!" It's kind of a stupid reason to think so, but the possibility of a Beam-O-War between chest lasers seems strangely appealing to me.
- JOSSED. It's Sektor.
- P.S. This will be updated as new episodes come out. This was inspired by a Crack Fic continuity between all the Deadliest Warrior episodes.
- In the beginning, there was Chuck Norris. Longing for a worthy fight, he was challenged by a martial artist named Segata Sanshiro, and their battle created a new universe in which all warriors exist together.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Samus had accidentally destroyed an important planet belonging to the Empire after a mission went awry. Boba Fett was hired to take her down in retaliation. He failed, and soon word spread that a powerful warrior had killed the legendary Fett. Luke Skywalker set off to find and recruit this warrior, but ran into Harry, who was scared and alone in the aftermath of a disastrous combination of teleportation and time travel magic. A fight ensues as Harry tried to protect himself from a perceived attacker, which he lost. Meanwhile, Dr. Doom also travelled through time and found himself on the Executor. He battled the ship's commander, one Darth Vader and, after taking him to prehistoric Earth, killed him. While exploring the galaxy, Ratchet and Clank came across an undocumented planet. A maintenance accident caused him to crash land into the home of Jak and Daxter, triggering the inevitable fight the two deadly duos.
During ancient times, Kratos' killing of the gods had attracted Spawn's attention, and they fought. Nightmare began laying siege on the Kingdom of Midland, but crossed a lone mercenary by the name of Guts who killed him before his invasion could even begin. Shortly after the war with the Fire Nation, Toph Bei Fong travelled east and found herself on the outskirts of a desert village. There, she was attacked by the village's leader for standing on holy ground and killed him, causing the Village Hidden in the Sand to declare war on the Earth Kingdom.
During the Cold War, the Mortal Kombat tournament commenced. Haggar vs. Zangief, Chun-Li vs. Mai, Raiden vs. Thor, Pikachu vs. Blanka, and Fulgor vs Sektor were some of the matches used to determine Team Earthrealm. Thor could have easily won the tournament with his million-ton hammer, but fell prey to Shang Tsung's trickery and was falsely disqualified by the Elder Gods. Ryu was pit against Scorpion and was killed. Mai, Zangief, and Fulgor were killed, while Akuma faced off against Shang Tsung and won the tournament. M. Bison, angry that he wasn't allowed to enter the tournament (Akuma, having brutally beat him in the past, was a much wiser choice to be on the team), decided to prove everyone wrong and tangos with Shao Kahn right in his palace. It doesn't work out so well, and Shao Kahn is now god-like. However, since his warriors lost the tournament, he can't invade Earth. Goku and Superman do not participate as they were busy dealing with other threats.
A Decepticon invasion of Earth had been repulsed by the Autobots, with heavy losses for the former, and Megatron set his sights on a seemingly weaker land. Starscream performed an aggressive recon mission but got into a fight with Rainbow Dash. Felicia and Taokaka got into a fight as well. After receiving information that a terrorist named Ragna the Bloodedge was the vessel for the ancient Black Beast, Sol Badguy set his sights on Ragna and, after a brutal fight, killed him and destroyed the Black Beast.
An argument over the last slice of pizza escalated until three ninja turtles were dead, and Leonardo set off to redeem himself by killing the reckless and dishonorable Zitz. Meanwhile, Eggman and Wily decided to determine who's the best scientist. Their fight ended up with Metal Sonic gaining power, but he was mere practice for a young Superman. But in Japan, Godzilla and Gamera had a showdown with Tokyo as their playground, until Gamera was killed and Godzilla went on a rampage, which fortunately was also child's play for Superman. A time trvel incident left Zechs Merquise and Lucrezia Noin on 1990's Earth, where Tommy Oliver accidentally killed Noin. Enraged, Zechs manned his Epyon and tracked down and killed Tommy. Dante was hired by the remaining Lumen Sages to track down the "Left Eye," leading him to meet and fight Bayonetta, who he killed without realizing that she was the Left Eye.
A time-traveling Terminator sought to kill John Connor, but his mission failed when Robocop confronted him. Mario and Sonic got fed up with everyone arguing about who would win in a fight, and settled it. With Mario dead, Luigi decided to take revenge by killing Sonic's friends, starting with Tails. With Luigi and Mario dead, Bowser was uninterrupted in his conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom. War refugees fleeing Bowser's army were lead by Peach to seek refuge in the land of Hyrule. However Zelda won't hear of any refugees in her kingdom, and thus fought Peach. Meanwhile, Donkey Kong somehow found himself on Angel Island and was attacked by a red echidna named Knuckles, who he brutally killed. Strider and Ryu sought worthy opponents, and hear of each other, while He-Man got all up in Lion-O during a patrol in the woods.
Bowser's empire was firmly established, but now his minions begin to turn on each other. Fantastic Racism and power struggles in dividing up the conquered spoils led to a civil war among the Goombas and Koopas. Before the invasion, Yoshi had to deal with Riptor, who time traveled and teleported to the Mushroom Kingdom because plot convenience. With Bowser encroaching on Hyrule borders, Peach formed a desperate alliance with a thief named Ganon, who led a one-man assault on Bowser's castle and killed the Koopa King. He then returned to the kingdom to await the return of his enemy, Link.
In the present time, Batman had decided to test out Spider-Man's skills in order to evaluate him as a potential member of the Justice League. The fight got a little too far, and shocks were sent down everyone's spines as dawn revealed the dark knight's dead body; if the goddamned Batman wasn't invincible, then what does that say about everyone else? A manhunt by the JLA falsely landed their sights on Rogue, who Wonder Woman failed to apprehend. Green Arrow was dispatched to capture Hawkeye, but died in the process as well. Desperate to defeat these new heroes, the remaining Justice League members hired Deathstroke, who set his sights on fellow mercenary Deadpool, but he was killed after a lengthy battle. Knowing these new heroes power, Lex Luthor attempted to steal technology to find out how the Avengers could defeat such prominent League members, but he robbed Iron Man's warehouse and died during the robbery. Talia restored Batman to life using the Lazarus Pits. Batman, enraged over the deaths of his compatriots, tracked down and killed Avengers leader Captain America, and led the Justice League in it's war with the Avengers. Beast hid in New York City, but he found himself on the Manhattan Clan's clock tower and was killed by Goliath. Meanwhile, two FOXHOUND and Third Echelon operatives named Snake and Sam Fisher respectively crossed paths and, unaware of the other's affiliations, attacked each other, culminating in the death of Sam Fisher and Anna Grimmsdottir. Wolverine was hired by the U.S. Military to track Snake down for committing treason, but he ran into Raiden instead. Wolverine's failed attempt to apprehend him led to his death. Shadow and Vegeta fought, with the latter emerging victorious. Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black got into a brawl, Vegeta makes his way home, and eventually Goku fought Superman. The Earth was destroyed, but a quick roundup of the Dragon Balls and a wish erased all of that. Goku challenged Superman again and was defeated once again. Accepting that he could not defeat Superman, he became good friends with Superman after being brought back by the Dragon Balls. In honor of Earth's restoration, a fighting tournament was held. World Champ Hercule Satan was challenged by one Dan Hibiki, and after an awkward fight, Dan was accidentally killed. Meanwhile, Buu travelled to Pop Star and found Kirby. Believing Kirby was a piece of candy, Buu tried to eat him, and was thrown into the Sun for his troubles.
In the future, Doomguy is on the run after assassinating a superior officer and defying orders (as well as just being a lunatic), and Master Chief is sent in to pacify him. Meanwhile, another Mortal Kombat tournament sees Cloud and Link fight to be Earthrealm's protector, resulting in Cloud's death. Heartbroken over her friend's death, Tifa left AVALANCE and became a bartender in a land called Remnant. Tifa's job was interrupted when an irritable patron named Yang Xiao Long attacked a bouncer and Tifa was killed defending her business and customers. Bucky and Fox clash in space near the Random Ass Planet. Bomberman is sent in to help Earth fight a villain, but his reckless collateral damage leads to a heated confrontation with Dig Dug. With robots becoming increasingly commonplace, riots for robot rights began to occur. Mega Man was sent by Dr. Light to settle the riots, but things got violent and Astro Boy stepped in to protect the rioters, leading to Mega Man's destruction. Scientists also test out which Pokemon is the best. Orchid fights Ivy after a magical incident for the latter results in teleportation and time travel. Red came across Agumon and, believing he was a Pokemon, attempted to capture him, leading to a fight with Agumon's friend Tai Kamiya. Ultimately, Red and his prized Pokemon Charizard were killed in the fight.
Two mercenaries, Deadpool and Deathstroke, battle it out for each others bounty. Deadpool wins, then gets teleported to Equestria for reasons. He meets fellow fourth-wall observer Pinkie Pie, and after a brief scuffle, became besties, trolled Wiz and Boomstick's puppet masters, and threw Deadpool a birthday Party. He is now Equestria's ambassador and minister of Mexican foods. He runs his stand need Sugar cube corner, to hang out with his new best buddy. They play poker on Wednesdays.
- In the beginning, there was Chuck Norris. Longing for a worthy fight, he was challenged by a martial artist named Segata Sanshiro, and their battle created a new universe in which all warriors exist together.
- In Terminator vs. Robocop, the other fight between mechanized combatants, had the cyborg Robocop prevail over the wholly robot Terminator due to human creativity. Fulgore seems less human than Sektor, and seeing as they have similar abilities, human creativity, unpredictability, and genius tactics will be on Sektor's side and allow him to win.
- Jossed. Fulgore wins.
- On one hand
- Godzilla is a very old character with tons of appearances to sift through. Depending on how Ben and Chad want to approach this, we could be waiting a very long time for them to complete their research on the King of All Monsters alone, to say nothing of the research on his opponent or the animation of the fight.
- On the other hand
- They have other people to do research for them, such as the folks at The Official DEATH BATTLE Fan Blog, and even though there's a lot of mythology behind 'Zilla, a quick google search of his abilities, then tracking down in which works he displayed them in (so they can then quantify and analyze them) should suffice. Failing that, they don't always cite their sources, so it's not like the pressure's on to be super-meticulous.
- JOSSED. Death Battle 35 will be shown at SDC, July 11, 12, or 13.
- They have other people to do research for them, such as the folks at The Official DEATH BATTLE Fan Blog, and even though there's a lot of mythology behind 'Zilla, a quick google search of his abilities, then tracking down in which works he displayed them in (so they can then quantify and analyze them) should suffice. Failing that, they don't always cite their sources, so it's not like the pressure's on to be super-meticulous.
- Alas, this is jossed; Godzilla had this one in the bag quite easily.
- JOSSED. The opponent is Gamera.
- JOSSED. The opponent is Gamera.
- JOSSED. The opponent is Gamera.
- Confirmed it seems, Batman will be returning to the Season 2 ring after dying in Season 1. The same goes with Goku and Charizard
- Jossed. It was once again Bruce Wayne, in the flesh.
- On the other hand, Kirby could still copy Buu's power before he escaped, giving him regeneration as well. It is possible that the fight will end up going the "let's see who can make the biggest boom and vaporize the other first" route.
- Jossed. It was used to reflect Majin Buu's deadly energy ball instead. Also, Kirby won.
- He does talk to the camera during the fight, but he doesn't directly reference the show while in battle, the exception being him announcing the "FIGHT!". During the analysis however, he does fool around with the hosts and even lampshades on getting it on with Boomstick's wife and the results of Goku vs Superman, among other things.
- Confirmed. He's present for the just about the entire analysis of both combatants, and even the aftermath results. He even adds his own statistics that Wiz "forgot to add".
- Jossed, Season 2's Finale is Charizard vs. Greymon.
- Jossed! It's been proven he's still alive. Probably.
- A series with the amount of rape and horrific violence Berserk has, it's the only way they can do it.
- Confirmed to an extent, they're quick to point out that Guts' origins are very dark, and there's a few jokes made at his expense.
- Partially confirmed. After destroying Night Terror, Inferno comes out to try to kill Guts, however Guts destroys Soul Edge with a single sword swing. It was later talked about in the post-match commentary that Guts has dealt with enough demonic stuff to know not to touch it.
- Chuck Norris VS Segata Sanshiro strongly implies that there will be a rematch in a Freeze-Frame Bonus, not to mention all of the jokes that the creators have made about the outcome of the battle since Season 2 started. A rematch may very well come.
- Confirmed
- Confirmed!
- Jossed, as the sun did not come up by the end of the battle. Also, Beast lost.
- Bayonetta vs. Dante
- Dracula vs. Ganondorf (since they intend to use the latter combatant at some point)
- Galactus vs. Unicron (was confirmed to be a future episode at Magfest 13)
- Goku vs. Superman rematch, the former now getting the abilities of Super Saiyan God thanks to Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'
- Confirmed
- The Megazord vs. Voltron (they mentioned once that they did work but couldn't find an animator to finish the fight)
- Pit vs. Sora
- Superman will bring out EVERYTHING he has, but, regardless if it makes any sense for both series, Goku will be unharmed.
- Both of them will die, and then continue fighting on Grand Kai's planet. This battle will never end. Like Chuck Norris vs Segata Sanshiro, it will be a draw. As a final touch, specators on Grand Kai's planet will argue about who would win just like real life viewers.
- Superman squashes Goku in 2 seconds.
- A third party will come out of nowhere and kill both of them.
- All jossed.
- Partly confirmed. Superman won, via killing the enemy as normal, while acknowledging and respecting Goku as a fighter.
- Jossed. As Mario vs. Sonic established that Mario and Sonic powerups effectively counter each other, including those exclusive to the Donkey Kong Country series, the fight instead focused on their non-powerup based abilities. Additionally, it was deemed that Knuckles' speed was hardly a factor as he needed to get within punching range of DK to harm him anyway, and ultimately DK was determined to be the winner.
- Somewhat confirmed. It wasn't a complete squash although it literally ENDED that way, as Knuckles' superior mobility did give DK a run for his money, but overall DK took the win.
- Confirmed. It has the exact properties needed to cut through adamantium, specifically the weakening of molecular bonds.
- Jossed, Hercule doesn't use his gun in the fight. He never needed one.
- Jossed, there is a winner. Its Hercule. Dan accidentally swallows a capsule, it turns into a jukebox, and the "Streetest Fighter" explodes.
- Jossed. Yang's confirmed opponent is Tifa Lockheart. Monty also animated Dead Fantasy which featured Tifa prominently, so either one could be a tribute to Monty.
- Confirmed, and his opponent is Astro Boy.
- Perhaps her opponnent would be none other than her spiritual predecessor, Simon the Digger?
- Gentaro Kisaragi could be her rival. There are both school based heroes.
- Partly confirmed. She will appear after Yoda vs. King Mickey but her opponent is Shadow, not Simon or Gentaro Kisaragi. (Though they could still appear in the far future.)
- Confirmed. Yang defeats Tifa.
Possible Shout-Out are:
- They Fight at a Dead Fantasy Location
- A Scene from Tifa's Fight against Hitomi is reenacted
- At the end of the fight, where Boomstick will refer to the loser's chances at victory as a 'Dead Fantasy'
- Also, why not the Deadpool version of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast (a mixture of the 1991 and 2017 versions) but sung by everyone who showed up in Death Battle, with Crash Bandicoot singing the part of LeFou.
Some people claim she should have depleted her aura by the time Final Heaven was executed, but when it comes to her semblance Yang's aura is proportional to how brightly glowing her hair is. Which means that she must have been really storing up her aura for this fight due to the areforementioned lighter-than-usual hair color.
- Jossed. Charizard vs. Greymon, and by extension their respective other forms by the looks of it However, Smokey vs. McGruff did eventually become a battle in Season 4.
- Confirmed.
- It's a pretty easy explanation. For those who are going directly into a Death Battle, they're given a 1UP by Boomstick and Wiz, the two of them explaining to each contestant what it does. This allows the more heroic characters to go into a fight to the death more comfortably, knowing that their opponent will come back to life if they cut loose. (It also conveniently explains how Batman came back from the dead.) For those that go into a fight to the death scenario without knowing who their opponent is (for example, Yang vs. Tifa), Boomstick and/or Wiz discreetly slips them a 1UP, which subconsciously influences them into not holding back against someone who has an extra life.
- Somewhat Confirmed. He's a combatant in Season 4.
- Confirmed. Him being able to shrug off impalement is why he wins.
- Jossed. Dante wins due to Bayonetta being unable to counter his Healing Factor.
PRO: By this point it's becoming increasingly more noticeable that people aren't happy about most of the happenings on the show, whether the show is right or wrong, and the fans that are still left are slowly whittling away. It also doesn't seem likely that Ben and Chad are actually enjoying hosting the show any more, regardless of what they say otherwise - what with them being the targets of some pretty nasty hatred by both their own community and others alike, who wouldn't be uncomfortable if they were in that position?CON: If Chad and Ben weren't bothered by the backlash to Superman vs Goku happening on two instances, it doesn't seem likely that a Vocal Minority of angry Bayonetta fans could deter them. However, if season 2 was any indication then it seems like Torrian is getting very stressed by the workload, so it could go either way.
DBX could become the successor to Death Battle, what with it being a spin-off first - definitely a good position for it. And after all the backlash the main series is getting, Death Battle would need SOME way to at least keep some people happy without the need of getting anything wrong. It wouldn't be that surprising if the show ended up outright replacing Death Battle overall. Also, if One Minute Melee serves almost an identical purpose to DBX, what else would DBX be able to do to be unique other than being a new phase of Death Battle itself?
- One Minute Melee split off from ScrewAttack, so DBX most likely exists as a replacement for that rather than Death Battle itself. people would accuse them of Jumping the Shark and forgetting what Death Battle was intended to be from the start. They'd probably just end up losing a lot of their viewers anyway.
Considering his massively growing popularity among the Dragon Ball Z fanbase and the feat from Episode 12 that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that there really are universe busters in the Dragon Ball franchise, Ben and Chad will probably put Beerus in a Death Battle at some point in the distant future, where their past history suggests they will either deny the universal feat or side with the now-debunked four-galaxy argument. Alternatively, they could just admit that he is a universal character without resorting to the long-since disproven claim that there are only four galaxies in the Dragon Ball Z universe.
- Confirmed. He fought Sailor Galaxia.
- Jossed, which I'm surprised someone hasn't said yet.
- Confirmed! The fight will be between Agent Carolina and The Meta.
- Jossed. The hosts specifically said no Dragon Ball vs Superman fights period
- Not jossed. [[http://s245.photobucket.com/user/GhostMachine_2008/media/c416EXF_zpshw7gej6m.png.html?filters[user]=61224498&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0 They said the same thing after the first Goku vs. Superman.]] It will be jossed if they make it past Episode 75 and Episode 100, however, and there is no Goku vs. Superman 3.
- Actually, kinda jossed, kinda not. While we've passed Episode 75 and Episode 100 is unlikely to be Goku vs. Superman 3, Ben has admitted he kind of wants to remaster the battle and reexamine it the way the fans wanted, which wasn't how they did it with Goku vs. Superman 2, as it was always a continuation of the first battle, though the fans didn't seem to understand that, and he admits he didn't help matters by encouraging such misperceptions. So while Goku vs. Superman 3 is not going to happen, a remastered Goku vs. Superman might be on the table.
- Jossed. Android 18 won her fight against Captain Marvel, Beerus won against Sailor Galaxia and Broly won against The Hulk.
- The hosts will explain why his 'Supernova' isn't as impressive as it seems.
- Jossed. Sephiroth is said not to be able to create the Supernova from his own power, but they give an explanation as to why it's just as impressive as it seems. Just ask poor Vergil.
- Jossed, The killing blow was due to the Liquid Nitrogen Gun, followed by the OmniWrench
- Jossed. Since both Clank and Daxter were parts of the Death Battle with Daxter dying alongside Jak, this can't happen.
- If Green Lantern appears, he will most likely fight Nova, as they are both space-faring superheroes and members of a larger Corps. If Martian Manhunter appears, he will fight either Piccolo (both are green aliens) or Super-Skrull (both are shapeshifting green aliens)
- Alternatively, the fight will feature a slo-mo scene where Quicksilver hums Time in a Bottle as both combatants duke it out.
- CONFIRMED!
- Confirmed, though not with the either of the above ideas. Joker tempts Needles out of the Sweet Bot with his "all the little emotions" and "who they really are" speeches from The Dark Knight.
- With two psychotic clowns on the run, Batman and the police needed a way to incapacitate both. So, they tricked Joker into jacking the Batmobile while also secretly giving Needles information on where to find the best ice cream in the city. Knowing Joker, in all his pettiness would swipe it, a fight between the two was inevitable. When the dust settles, Needles is dead and Joker is severely injured, so neither will put up a fight while being apprehended by the police. Just like that, hundreds, maybe even thousands of innocent lives are spared, and one of the two won't come back. In regards to the collateral damage, with the sheer amount of bodies they leave in their wake on their own, the Godzilla Threshold had long been reached.
- Jossed. Mewtwo leaves Shadow with nothing, all right... his memories, and ultimately his life.
- Completely jossed, as Mewtwo won the fight due to his psychic abilities. In fact, Mewtwo won against Super Shadow thanks to Super Shadow not being invulnerable to mental attacks.
- More likely it's just out of continuity. Since Maine arrives from outside the simulation room, complete with multiple AI's.
- Cammy may have the advantage in physical attributes, but it's likely that Sonya's deadlier arsenal from long range is going to net her the win.
- Confirmed. While Cammy is good at dodging ranged attacks, Sonya's drone meant she was dodging from two fronts-it was only a matter of time before she was nailed.
- Think about it. Epsilon-Theta mentioned to Church that Carolina has been having nightmares about "the bad guy" and right on cue, Epsilon-Sigma appears in the background. This fight might actually be Carolina's final nightmare of the Meta, who is now the personification of her mistake coming back to haunt her. Together with Church, who's part of the nightmare because he's literally inside Carolina's head, they finally end her guilt. That's why Church replied "Not exactly." when Carolina asked if that's Maine. Caboose was right. The Meta was a ghost all along.
- Confirmed! it was the first thing he did upon noticing her.
- Jossed. Tracer wins due to her superior technology, and her reaction time makes it nearly impossible to actually hit her
- Confirmed, but that's not the only way they're involved. Scott and Ramona were having a tender moment at an arcade when Sonic bolted through trying to escape Amy. The initial rush knocks Scott out, and he is left with a Thousand-Yard Stare after coming to when a speeding arcade machine smashes Ramona flat.
- Jossed. Doomsday wins, because he has adapted to everything the Hulk could throw at him. Furthermore, the hosts point out that Hulk's strength is only theoretically unlimited and there is in fact a limit to it in certain situations.
- Jossed. As Season 3 is ending and Season 4 is just starting, Hiei and his opponent didn't appear in any battles of Season 3. Maybe he'll appear in Season 4 or future seasons?
- Sasuke vs Hiei is confirmed af the 12th episode of Season 6.
- Didn't turn out to be the case, but hey, maybe it could still be Foreshadowing for another season finale.
- Confirmed. Wade and Pinkie bust down the 4th wall and tear up the rules of Death Battle into confetti. The fight ends in a tie.
- Jossed. The fight ends in a friendly tie.
- Ben mentioned they considered Indiana Jones to fight Lara or Nate during an episode of the Death Battle Cast. Maybe they'll set up a Sequel Hook where he comes into conflict with the winner.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. We'll never know what might have happened if Shovel Knight won, as Scrooge has him licked by a country mile.
- Jossed. Scrooge uses his shovel to decapitate him, then uses it to sort out the gold in the money bun. Furthermore the Bond One-Liner by Boomstick does say that "Shovel Knight dug his own grave".
- Master Hand pulled Cloud in with very limited supplies and pitted him against Link for a few reasons. Master Hand watched the events of the Final Fantasy series regularly, and like a lot of people he really liked the events of FF7. Seeing that Cloud had done so much with just his Sword and no materia, Master Hand wanted to see how Link would fare against him. Ironically, Master Hand was actually rooting for Cloud; he genuinely thought that Cloud would win, and underestimated Link's skill. He brought Cloud back to life and put him back where came from. His apology/consolation to Cloud was letting him in Smash Bros, since MH felt that he deserved it after everything.
- Jossed. The symbiote stays with Eddie the entire time, and kills Bane.
- Jossed. Instead, he gushes about how great the fight was.
The reason being that it would be between Michael, Trevor and Franklin on one side, and Dallas, Houston, Wolf, Chains, Hoxton, Clover, Dragan, John Wick, Bodhi, Jimmy, Jacket, Bonnie, Sokol, Jiro, Sydney, Rust and Scarface on the other. Plus, even if the optional heist NPCs from GTA V are permitted to help, most of them are not combat-oriented (being drivers or hackers), and some of those that are combat-capable are Red Shirts that are guaranteed to die when used in a heist.
- Wouldn't the PAYDAY Gang vs the Saints Row Gang be a better duel, since the Saints Row gang has far more members than the GTAV trio?
- Jossed, he immediately returns back to his physical form as soon as he notices Natsu trying to eat him. It does make him more vulnerable since he'd need to avoid turning into fire, which Natsu is capable of taking advantage of.
- Nope, didn't happen. The ring itself took a lot of punishment, though.
- Jossed, on twitter one of the hosts explained they refrained from doing so out of respect for McGruff's recently departed voice actor to avoid confusion and disrespect.
- Secondary guess: it'll come at the tail end of the fight, after which the loser will immediately die from his wounds.
- Secondary guess partially confirmed when McGruff stops time to go "Remember kids... remember me." before getting squashed by a giant Smokey.
- Kind of, but not really. Ichigo just got annoyed and took a swipe at Naruto, although the very short pause he took gave Naruto the opportunity to set up his next attack.
- Unfortunately, this is unlikely. Chad and Ben have mentioned before that contractual obligations prevent this kind of thing from happening. Specifically, they wanted Chris Sabat (who voiced Snake in his battle with Sam Fisher) to reprise his role as Vegeta, but his contract with Funimation forbade it. This was also why they didn't get him to voice Zoro as well. They couldn't get Todd Haberkorn to reprise his role for Natsu either (Todd voiced Tai in Pokemon vs Digimon and Daxter in Ratchet and Clank vs Jak and Daxter, and would later move on to voice Spider-Man 2099 for Batman Beyond vs Spiderman 2099). They DID manage to get Johnny Yong Bosch to reprise his role as Ichigo, but they went through MANY hurdles to credit him.
- Fucking Union. Looks like we can only count on Rooster Teeth.
- Could be possible, since Terry manages to short out Lyla via his tasers before blowing a hole in Miguel. We're not sure if the short-circuit was temporary or permanent.
- Completely confirmed
- Confirmed. Both characters will be voiced by Kira Buckland.
- Jossed. Kenshiro strikes a pressure point and Jotaro explodes.
- (Un)fortunately jossed.
- Deadpool vs Pinkie Pie takes place. From this episode, we learn that, thanks to the format of the show, both are capable of traveling to different points in time and space, as defined by the videos themselves. A close friendship is formed between the two as the rules of Death Battle are cheerfully broken.
- Raven vs Twilight Sparkle takes place. With one of her best friends now dead, Pinkie Pie has incentive to either A) go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge (unlikely, since she doesn't have a malicious bone in her body) or B) use her Breaking the Fourth Wall abilities to influence the outcomes of the fights, creating alternate timelines where nobody has to die. She might have trouble coming up with this on her own, but fortunately, her new bestie Deadpool has done something like this at least once, and he would likely give her the idea and/or embark on a similar endeavour of his own.
- While hopping through the videos, Pinkie Pie and/or Deadpool happen across Superman, who has found and used the Dragon Balls at least once. It takes some explaining, but they persuade him and/or Goku to allow them to use said Dragon Balls to bring back the characters they can't get to. Additionally, through them (more likely Deadpool), Superman will learn of Batman's deaths, causing him to set to work on this project, as well. As the video explains, Superman is basically a Game-Breaker and can put an end to any of the fights before a fatality occurs instantly, or rescue the loser in the inevitable confusion (and unlike Deadpool or Pinkie Pie, it's entirely within character for him to do so.) Superman rescues Batman from his fate this way, explaining his recurring appearances, and does this with Wonder Woman to avert her death at the hands of Rogue.
- Speedsters like The Flash and Sonic present something of a problem for the above, since they can react within a certain order of magnitude to Superman's meddlings. It's not guaranteed that the Dragon Balls would work on them, either. Mario, at least, can return thanks to having extra lives tucked away, while Quicksilver... we'll have to come back to him. Shadow, however, was killed by Vegeta the first time around, so the Saiyan's actions can probably be undone with a wish (and Shadow does indeed have friends among the survivors who would want him back).
- Bowser presents another problem here, since Ganon was inside him when he dealt the finishing blow. However, with Zelda dead, there's a spare Triforce piece floating around somewhere, and it's not inconceivable that Link or Ganon would assemble it. If Link manages it, it shouldn't take much to persuade him to use it as a Reset Button for all the fallen Nintendo characters (or potentially, instead, for all the people killed by Nintendo characters, if not both). If Ganon manages it, there's a convenient demon hunter in an adjacent point in space-time who has had a few Capcom and Marvel allies get killed in these fights and would have every reason to want to invoke the Reset Button himself.
- Jossed. While he dies in his fight, he's vaporized so quickly by the Aether Breath that he doesn't even get time to say anything. In fact, not even a single "Woah!" is uttered throughout the fight.
- Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
- Jossed. He's actually fighting Popeye the Sailor.
- Jossed. Frank and his Exo Suit get blown up by Leon's Rocket Launcher Special, with nothing but Frank's head left. His head starts showing signs of being zombified, but Leon stops it by throwing a knife into Frank's brain, ending his life for real.
- The second part of the fight takes place in the Vault, where Cinder and Raven fought in Volume 5.
- Bonus points if the winner sustains a grievous injury, only for the loser to literally fall to pieces right after.
- Jack and Afro did have their Single-Stroke Battle, and Jack got an arm chopped off. However, Afro barely survived and had to be finished off.
- They're two of the most insane and psychopathic killers in comic books and anime/manga. It's inevitable.
- Confirmed. Carnage kills a train full of people before the battle starts proper.
- And nearly destroy the planet in a similar manner to how Goku vs. Superman turned out.
- Jossed. She didn't even need to get to that point in order to vaporize Carnage with a nuclear-level attack.
- And likewise, it's very possible Lucy will suffer horrible Clothing Damage and end up fighting Carnage completely naked - with censor bars or smudges over any of her "girl parts," of course, or perhaps even selectively obscured.
- Jossed. Lucy was fully clothed during the entire fight, since the scenario started as a pretty normal day for Nyu until Carnage came along and also because her vectors' speed meant that Carnage couldn't get in any real hits that could tear her clothing off and could only give her small cuts on her arms and legs.
- Namely, Optimus Prime will quote "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings!"
- There is a trademark Call-Back, but it's a different and modified phrase in "I must stand. So you shall fall!"
- Namely, Jack eventually realizes the sheer amount of death and pain they've caused for nothing and, being Jack, destroys both to end the madness, just like he did with the cursed wishing well.
- Ben himself has now gone on record in admitting he feels the urge to redo this battle using what he terms their new methodologies, and seems receptive to the criticisms the fans originally had regarding the two battles. Given that Ben has also admitted that there are iterations of Superman Goku is definitely able to beat (like the 1990s animated Superman and probably all the live-action Superman), it is possible that they will eventually remaster the battle for some big special event like their 150th or 200th battle, where they will do a better job explaining the various complexities of this debate. However, given that Superman, barring cosmic entities and alternate versions, still has better high-end feats than Goku does, it is unlikely the outcome will change unless they do something new like present two battles, the one in which Goku wins, and the one in which Goku loses. Either way, it will result in a flame war just as bad as Goku vs. Superman 2, and no one wins.
- And no matter who wins, we all lose from the ensuing flame wars.
- Jossed. He's facing Popeye.
- Since it will be animated by Blind Ferret Studios, who did Smokey vs. McGruff, a likely choice would be Mickey Mouse vs. Bugs Bunny.
- Jossed, it's Mario vs. Sonic
- Considering that Wiz and Boomstick did a bit of joking over the fact that the Mavericks were robot animals in Ultron vs. Sigma, and X fights and destroys said animal Mavericks...
- Jossed, it's not brought up.
- Ben confirmed it would be the most popular request in the forums for the season of requests.
- Galactus vs. Unicron
- Darkseid vs. Thanos
- Darkseid vs. Thanos confirmed!
- And the reason given will be that Thanos is ultimately self-sabotaging.
- Confirmed. Darkseid is able to goad Thanos into following him into the 4th world, where the Infinity Gauntlet is powerless.
- Given how they said Roshi went up against "planet and galaxy busters" during the Tournament of Power (which is actually false given how Roshi was no match for the Dragon Ball Super high tiers), there are only two possible explanations, that they are including his feat in the manga where he dodged Jiren's punch, which seems unlikely given that they never brought it up, or that they've loosely scaled Roshi to Goku and Beerus and all the other god tiers after the Episode 12 feat, and were very conservative in their estimates in order to conclude they're not universe busters, but galaxy busters, similarly to how they were conservative with Android 18 and said she could "possibly" destroy a planet even though she has long surpassed planet busters by this time.
- Definitely jossed considering they said Beerus and Goku would've destroyed the Dragon Ball macroverse in their clash, that they'd have to be tough enough to endure the resulting universal shockwaves, and that Goku later grew far beyond this afterwards.
- The end of Thanos vs. Darkseid said Death Battle would return "with a splash".
- Aquaman vs. Namor
- Confirmed.
- Katara vs. Juvia
- Inkling vs. Shadow Mario
- Aquaman vs. Namor
- If Crash vs. Spyro had a short Crash Bandicoot chase sequence thrown in, this also could be possible.
- There’s no confirmation like with Mewtwo vs. Shadow, but the episode itself still seems to end a bit abruptly with the final blow just as it’s starting to build up. Add in the fact that the OST is nearly twice as long as the fight itself and the recent releases of both films, and this idea could hold some weight.
- Who wouldn't?
- Confirmed in the very first preview!
She would cast Samarecarm on the loser after the battle was concluded. Though repairing Myrtenaster would have to be handled by someone else.
- Jossed. He dies after Falcon gives him the second-most-epic of all Falcon Punches.
- PLEASE.
- Likely this. The closest that Ed could stack up to the Avatar State would be pulling off a similar feat to what he did to Pride, which only happened due to multiple factors (Ed being related to Pride because of their respective fathers, the latter being close to death, Ed turning himself into a philosopher's stone, the souls of his own stone lacking individuality, and Kimblee helping from within) that are not likely to be repeated ( even assuming the Avatar State works remotely similar to a philosopher's stone, the past avatars aren't going to help Ed kill Aang).
- Jossed, Aang's final blow was meant to kill Ed, albeit reluctantly.
- Like with Captain Falcon above, the Death Battle curse will FINNALY get us Mega Man Legends 3!! PLEASE!!!
- Be it his rundown or the post-fight analysis, the image of Sasuke being choked by Itachi will be shown.
- Confirmed. The footage shows up during Sasuke's backstory.
- Nice job breaking it, Wiz!
- Alternatively, be like Deadpool vs Pinkie Pie where the two team-up. Well, I bet Wiz and Boomstick would be kicking themselves for such a match up.
- Partially confirmed. In the spirit of Death Battle, the two still try to kill each other the entire time, but Deadpool and The Mask mail a Continuity Stone to Wiz and Boomstick. Their regret for pitting Deadpool in an unwinnable matchup brings him back to life after he dies.

- Which actually makes sense when you remember her Single-Target Sexuality Villainous Crush on Tatsumi.
- Bonus points if the final clash is a High Ground joke.
- Gloriously confirmed. Except for the High Ground one-it's there, but it's not the final one.
- Because it would resemble the conclusion of another Danny Phantom episode.
- Gloriously confirmed.
- Nathan "Rad" Spencer
- Red Hood
- Confirmed

- King Mickey's preview for his fight with Yoda was most likely foreshadowing this. Wiz says that 2024 really isn't that far off and he seemed to be suggesting to Boomstick to do a match in celebration of Mickey going into the public domain. Now, who's Mickey's most requested opponent for a Death Battle?
Mickey's feats from Kingdom Hearts won't be used in this fight though. Ben and Chad consider King Mickey a separate entity from his mainstream counterpart just like Game Sonic and Archie Sonic.
- Because if anything, it would be hilarious for Shadow to go down the same way as per norm.
- Given a few factors, though; namely Shadow's speed/power, Chaos abilities and Golden Super Mode, as well as the fact a character who comes back after losing once (or even twice) tends to get at least one win in return — Wonder Woman winning two fights after losing her first being the prime example, likewise with Batman beating Captain America despite losing to Spider-Man and Black Panther — it's also entirely likely that Shadow will be the one who gets to say it. At the very least, it'd be great for him to break out of the Memetic Loser status for both himself (and the Sonic series as a whole in recent years, given that even a Purposefully Overpowered individual like Archie Sonic got curbstomped) on Death Battle.
- Zig-zagged. Ryuko does get to say a variation of the line ("Sayonara, dipshit!") when she thinks she's killed Shadow... only for him to still be alive and forcibly turn the tables on her. After the last two times it happened, you can tell that he's really fed up of hearing that one.
- Akuma will not be taken into account for Heihachi's feats. They didn't with Ryu VS Jin for Jin's and there's extreme doubts they would here either.
- Played With: One of the feats mentioned for Heihachi is that he survived Akuma's Raging Demon. However, it hardly plays into the verdict since Geese has no soul destruction attacks like it.
- Heihachi will have a Japanese voice actor while Geese's voice actor will retain his Engrish accent.
- Confirmed.
- The fight seems to be taking place in an Attack On Titan styled arena, so it isn't unreasonable to assume that this will happen to whoever loses the fight, whether it's the method of death or something that happens after the fact.
- Mikasa explicitly stating that the city was supposed to be evacuated hours ago implies that something very bad is on the horizon indeed.
- Jossed although a Titan does show up after Blake has defeated Mikasa.
- It's why she didn't bother to respond after Mikasa told her to leave. She assumed that Mikasa would realize who she was and only told her to go away when she knocked away her book. It would also explain why she jumped into battle with one after winning.
- Because what's a better way for Po to win than to send his opponent to the spirit realm? (Ok he didn't do it to Lord Shen in Kung Fu Panda 2 but there was no way Po could get close to him to do so safely.)
- Jossed. Iron Fist could still fight within the spirit realm, which the Finger Hold sent the two to. However, they did give Iron Fist a better death by having Po kill him with Po's own Chi Dragon eating both Iron Fist's and Iron Fist himself.
- Iron Man

- Sauron vs.
- "Think, Mark!" is obvious, but perhaps the thicc Omni Man pose will be referenced as well.
- "That's the neat part: You Don't!"
- Storyboards for the episode confirm that it was planned at one point, but cut from the final episode.
- Arya Stark vs. Clementine (The Walking Dead): Two young girls who spent their lives surviving after a horrid tragedy that befell their families (the zombie outbreak for Clem, Ned Stark's execution for Arya). Incidentally, both are featured in video game adaptations by Telltale Studios.
- He's the Trope Namer for Bond One-Liner, after all.
- Confirmed. Since the killing blow was a Falling Chandelier of Doom, the one-liner was "Smashing. Positively smashing."
- Jossed. The fight ends shortly after victory. There is still a chance it could happen though.
- The one directly after Spongebob vs. SuperFriends Aquaman is one that releases right on Halloween, and Sauron's aesthetic most certainly fits the holiday.
- Jossed, the Halloween episode is Jason Voorhees vs. Michael Myers.
- If Aquaman wins, the Inappropriate Timing SpongeBob banner will appear on the bottom of the screen.
- When explaining the outcome, Wiz will say SpongeBob was "too soft."Boomstick: But he's a-
Wiz: DON'T SAY IT!
- When explaining the outcome, Wiz will say SpongeBob was "too soft."
- If SpongeBob wins, he'll cap off the battle with a Victory Screech!
- Boomstick's Bond One-Liner will mention SpongeBob pulling off a "Sweet, Sweet Victory."
- When Wiz tries to announce the winner, Boomstick will interrupt him by singing SpongeBob's name like at the end of the iconic theme song.
- At one point, SpongeBob will say Bad Word #11, only for the goody-two-shoes Super Friend to admonish him for his vulgar language.
- If the fight goes on long enough, Squidward will remark that SpongeBob is the only guy he knows who could fight a Super Friend… "FOR TWELVE HOURS!"
- If the two combatants are locked in a stalemate, the French Narrator will chime in with how long it's taking, and Patrick will tell the two to hurry it up because he doesn't have enough time cards.
- SpongeBob will run over Aquaman with a rock.
- Alternatively, he'll get behind the wheel of a boat and destroy everything in his path.
- Toward the end, Wiz will have to clarify that no aquatic life was harmed in the making of this Death Battle, with Boomstick adding that the marine life we saw were just… actors.
- Especially since both are so incredibly hard to kill that a supremely gory demise is pretty much the only way to make sure they stay down.
- Turns out, it didn't disappoint. Jason puts Myers through what is basically a Rasputinian Death, first stabbing Myers through the stomach with his machete, jamming an axe into his head, decapitating him with his own kitchen knife, and then caps it all off by chopping the decapitated head in two with that same axe.
- The post-fight analysis, regardless of which side wins, will bring up how Sauron is majorly more abstract in his abilities as opposed to the Lich King.
- Wiz & Boomstick will fight over the One Ring at one point.
- Partly confirmed. Boomstick starts getting tempted by the One Ring... and then suddenly swallows it.
- Ant-Man vs. Atom:
- General:
- Either side speedily tears down the other's cerebral structure, resulting in a slow, painful death.
- Ant-Man:
- Ant-Man removes the white dwarf star fragment powering Atom and leaves him to be devoured by (relatively massive) ants. (This was the closest. Ant-Man has ants burst out of Atom after depowering him)
- Atom:
- Uses his Indigo Tribe staff to kill Ant-Man in some manner.

- Cole MacGrath:
- Uses a powerful burst of lightning to completely vaporize every cell in Alex's body.
- Alex Mercer:
- Chosen Undead vs. Last Dragonborn:
- Chosen Undead:
- Incinrates the Dragonborn with a powerful Pyromancy
- Skewers the Dragonborn with a Sunlight Spear.
- Dragonborn:
- Uses Unrelenting Force to simultaneously kill the Chosen Undead and douse a Bonfire. (Confirmed)
- Smashes the Chosen Undead into a pulp with a hammer weapon after using Dragonrend...provided Dragonrend works on the Chosen Undead.
- Chosen Undead:
- Atom: Ant-Man vs. Atom
- Swords: Skyrim vs. Dark Souls (Dragonborn vs. Chosen Undead)
- Dollar Sign: Killua vs. Misaka (because of Misaka's use of coins)
- Waves: Stitch vs. Rocket Raccoon
- Yin-Yang: Vader vs. Obito
- Lotus: Phoenix vs. Raven (Phoenixes, like lotuses, are symbols of rebirth)
- Waxing Moon: Guts vs. Dimitri
- Star: Martian Manhunter vs. Silver Surfer
- Question Mark: Bill Cipher vs. Discord
That leaves the remaining seven, the Beaker, Magic Symbol/Pentagram, Suited Man, Scales, Recycling Symbol, The Jolly Roger and The Shuffle Icon. With all this in mind, let's get to speculating:
- Beaker:
- Rick Sanchez vs. The Doctor
- Pentagram/Magic Circle:
- Scooby-Doo vs. Courage
- Suited Man:
- Satoru Gojo vs. Makima
- Recycling Symbol:
- Goku vs. Superman (V3)
- Crossbones:
- Galactus vs. Unicron
- Shuffle Icon:
- Frieza vs. Megatron
- Scale:
- Cole MacGrath vs. Alex Mercer
As of December 20, 2023, the answers are being revealed in pinned YouTube comments from Death Battle, and only a few of these are confirmed to be correct.
- Atom: Ant Man vs. Atom
- Dollar Sign: Killua vs. Misaka
- Waves: Stitch vs. Rocket Raccoon
- Star: Martian Manhunter vs. Silver Surfer
- Question Mark: Bill Cipher vs. Discord
- Scales: Cole MacGrath vs. Alex Mercer
- Suit: Gojo vs. Makima
- Shuffle: Frieza vs. Megatron
- Beaker: Rick vs. The Doctor
- Recycling Symbol: Goku vs. Superman (2023)
As for ones that weren't guessed correctly:
- Lotus: Skyrim vs. Dark Souls
- Half-Moon: Darth Vader vs. Obito
- Yin-Yang: Phoenix vs. Raven
- Swords: Guts vs. Dimitri
- Crossbones: Scooby-Doo vs. Courage
- Pentagram: Galactus vs Unicron
- There's also a third, much more unlikely option: the Phoenix Force deems Raven a superior host and possesses her, killing Jean before starting a rampage with its new body. Hey, I never said the third option was good.
- Ehhh...none of these really came true. Raven won in the end, but the Phoenix Force doesn't possess her and all she says is "I'm home."
- It's practically a given with Bill Cipher vs. Discord.
- Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo: His show absolutely creams the fourth wall on a regular basis. Perhaps in the same episode he debuts in?
- BB: This lady has broken the fourth wall a few times before, though perhaps the scale of which she could join Wiz & Boomstick in the analysis would be reduced to only fighters from the Extraverse side of Fate.
- Bat-Mite: Being a combination Loony Fan and Reality Warper, he'll appear to voice his anger over Batman losing so many times by screwing with Wiz and Boomstick and forcing them to make Batman win whatever battle he'll appear in next.
- Rick Sanchez: In true Rick and Morty fashion, Rick will mock Death Battle for how their idea of settling debates have only made some of them worse, chief among them being both Goku vs. Superman battles, Tifa vs. Yang, the original Link vs. Cloud, Ben 10 vs. Green Lantern, etc.
- He gets a bit better than a mere cameo now that he's set to fight The Doctor.
- Monika vs. Leshy/P03
- Hellboy vs. Nero
- Spinal vs. Cervantes de Leon
- Demitri Maximoff vs. Slayer
- Freddy Krueger vs. Pennywise
- Scarecrow vs. Mysterio
- All Jossed. If Gojo vs. Makima doesn’t count (according to the Death Battle staff, it may not, or at least it’s not the only one), then it’s confirmed to be Scooby-Doo vs. Courage the Cowardly Dog.
- If Bill wins, it's gonna be a situation similar to Apocalypse Vs. Black Adam where Bill (The far more evil of the two) taunts Discord over the fact the latter couldn't save Equestria from the Weirdmageddon invasion.
- If Discord wins, there'll be a fake-out where Bill assumes he killed him, but in a situation similar to Thanos Vs. Darkseid, Discord reveals that he didn't die, and the he finishes off Bill.
- Jossed. Bill won, but in a twist, Discord actually managed to succeed in ending his reign of terror despite dying.
- Confirmed…at least in making a cameo. Gojo’s Domain Expansion had multiple things flash by quickly in the background. Bill appeared in two instances: one where he sees Makima get overwhelmed by infinity and another where he’s losing it from an unexplained reason. Both instances show that he’s still trapped in the Nightmare Realm.
- Jossed, Starscream, or indeed any other Cybertronian, doesn't appesr.
- Confirmed. The only one who dies in a sense was Eustace, who turns out to be the monster chasing Scooby and Courage throughout the fight before he gets sucked into the Chest of Demons.
- Jossed.
- Sub-WMG: Wiz will be so pissed off that he considers stacking the deck in the Doctor's favor, only for Boomstick to bring up the events of Deadpool VS. The Mask, talking him out of it.
- Might be confirmed, the end of Ricks's preview mentions he and Wiz knew each other personally in mad scientist high school, and Rick was Wiz's bully.
Related to the "Wiz vs Rick" WMG, one character will reference the infamous copypasta, either with Rick using it to insult Wiz's intelligence or Wiz saying that, no, you don't need a high IQ to understand the show.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. Rick dies when the Doctor deflects a blast from the De-mat Gun with one of Rick's portals on his back.
While the matchup may seem to be something delivered to silence DBZ fans hungry to see the saiyan actually triumph, such an eye-catching match could also be something to hide something a bit more unorthodox. Namely, once the fight begins between the two legendary figures, their introductory screens would see them... dead? Startled by this experiences, the Death Battle match quickly goes off the rails, with Wiz and Boomstick seeking out their killer, alongside a certain detective. While the staff have deconfirmed the match itself for this year, such a statement could be just another lie, meant to conceal what may be Death Battle's strangest fight yet.
- That would render the analysis portion to be a waste of time, and they wouldn't do anything like that in a normal episode. However, this technically isn't just another rehash of Goku vs. Superman, as this will focus on further official material like Dragon Ball Heroes and DC Infinite Frontier rather than solely the original material from the first two episodes. Essentally, this isn't Goku vs. Superman 3, but rather, it's Composite Goku vs. Composite Superman.
- The latest fireside chat also josses this further, as they deconfirmed Light vs. Columbo being the season 10 finale. It might be the season 11 premiere if we're lucky enough.
Either as a gag or an actual piece of research, maybe alongside one of the hosts in disbelief this actually happened. Similarly, Superman's Worf Effect moment to Dr. Kryptonite will also be featured in a similar vain.
It was once the only "guaranteed future Death Battle" but has been mysteriously removed from that distinction, unlike Ruby vs. Maka. Furthermore, the appearance of both Silver Surfer and Megatron this season is far too suspicious to be coincidence. What better way to end the 10th season and follow up Goku vs. Superman than with one of the classic megaton matchups?
- Confirmed!
The reason this wouldn't have worked with Rick vs. The Doctor was because while they do travel space and time, their scale isn't exactly on par with the likes of Galactus and Unicron. With the power of both the Devourer of Worlds and the Lord of Chaos encompassing pretty much infinity, what better way to celebrate the show's history and 10 seasons with a full-scale war?
- Jossed, no other characters make direct cameos in the episode.
