Netero vs. Third Hokage would have been fun.

Shit could Sarutobi even handle Netero?

Know nothing about Jiraiya, but besides the moon buster, could he resist the Mafuba / Evil Containment Wave? Coz that's a second game ender Roshi has.

I'm really curious as to how they'll handle this.

Roshi has his pre saiyan saga/original DB feats, and then there's both versions of Resurrection F, where's he's on the same level as Grunt Freeza soldiers (though the Freeza army isn't exactly in their prime when they attack Earth).

There's also the differences between the anime and the manga. The former has him able to spam the Mafuuba quite consistently, though it's still deadly if used enough times), while the latter has him unintentionally using a very basic very of Ultra Instinct.

The two versions use the same basic premises, but interpret them in very different ways, to the point of arguably being completely contradictory to each other. So if they go with Roshi's Super feats, which Super are they gonna use?

Jiraiya is much more consistent in what he does in both versions, since for all his flaws, Kishimoto does more that write a vague outline and let everyone do their own thing. Of course, Naruto has it's own damn issues but that's neither here nor there.

If they can give a good fight, I don't care who wins.

Yeah I knew Sigma was boned pretty much. But hey, as long as its an entertainingly animated stomp, that's fine. Just having Sigma and Ultron in at all is a mark off my wish list.

Next fight's probably going to be in Roshi's favor even if they only include OG Dragon Ball feats. Though at the same time, Jiraiya's got techniques that can screw up a person's senses, along with poisons and a couple Genjutsu techniques. If Roshi has nothing to deal with those, Jiraiya could scratch out a win. But the Mafuba is another thing to consider...

Oh yeah, just remembered. On the cast, they said before that for the now next fight, one of the characters got something new recently, but it wouldn’t change the verdict. Probably referring to UI Roshi from the manga.

Roshi's got an electric attack, the Mafuuba, the Max Power Kamehameha, Drunken Boxing, a hypnosis technique that puts people to sleep...and I think that's it.

Jiraiya has more tricks up his sleeve I think though even I don't know all of them. There is the ability to summon though.

I think characters in Naruto do start moon busting during the final movie before Boruto begins, but even then, Jiraiya is long dead by that point, and I don't think he ever reached that point. Then again, the Max Power Kamehameha took a lot out of Roshi, and also takes time to charge. I don't think he's ever used it on something that wasn't already stationary (Ox King's Castle and the Moon).

At the very least Jiraiya has already won in the looks department.

It seems unlikely that Mafuba will be the deciding blow; it's a containment attack, not a killing attack. I mean, you can obviously chain it with something like the Most Powerful Kamehameha as the actual killing blow, but it's not clear that Roshi actually needs the Mafuba in that chain.

All Jiraiya did was peek in at a hot spring, which is generic anime perv behavior. Roshi's a far more prolific horndog.

Can't wait until DMCV and Bayonetta 3 comes out so Dante fights Bayonetta again. It's confirmed DMCV will be the end of the Sons of Sparda Story Line. Also, even though I'm a bigger fan of Dante, I hope Bayonetta wins. But who knows? Itsuno might give Dante some insane feats in DMCV. Would be hilarious if Kamiya looks at DMCV, and decides to majorly buff Bayonetta in response.

Lelouch is fabulous. Imma Xehanort on You Tube, Twitter, and Gamefaqs.

IIRC, The only casual Moon-busters in Naruto (keeping in mind that their moon is hollow) are Naruto, Sasuke, and Ōtsutsuki clan members like Kaguya (with the Ten-Tailed Beast), Toneri (with the Tenseigan), Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki. Jiraiya doesn't even come close to that level of power. Nagato admitted that Jiraiya could have beaten him had he figured out how the Rinnegan's Nine Paths worked... but he didn't.

The fight had a few good moments, like the giant Sigma/Ultron brawl near the end and the finishing blow being Ultron assimilating the Sigma virus then rising up to show himself the new overlord of the Maverick race. Probably one of my new favorite finishers on the show.

Otherwise the rest of this fight is the weakest one this season, to me. Reminds me of "Bowser VS Ganon" in how both fighters were really stiffly animated for the entire fight and didn't really move their limbs much, in this case not helped by the fact that Ultron and Sigma spend most of the fight flying. The X>Y>Z scaling to classic Mega Man bothered me a bit at first, but given Ultron still won I'll let it slide. Analysis was about what I expected too, with actual stats not mattering and the actual focus being on Ultron virus VS Sigma virus.

Re:Next Time: Don't really have a horndog in this race, but it should be an entertaining fight. I saw someone mention Ultra Instinct Roshi a bit further up in the thread, that's an actual thing now?

He was in the shuttle. Even if the shuttle did the bulk of the tanking, he still probably had to take a little bit of it, and with a crash like that, it doesn't take much to turn a body to nothing, even if it's made of metal.

If this match does anything, it it makes Zero vs Metal Sonic even more of a curbstomp. Zero has beaten Sigma, so all the feats that were given to Sigma apply to Zero.

That was a pretty satisfying fight. The physical fight never really mattered, so how completely and utterly Ultron outclassed Sigma in basically every respect was unimportant. The most important detail was who could hack who harder. In that regard, Ultron had the Phalanx feat to his name while Sigma's never faced anyone like Ultron before. So Ultron always had this in the bag.

For the next battle, I'll be genuinely surprised if Roshi doesn't take this. He was blowing up the moon before Dragon Ball's second arc was done. Then Super gave him a massive buff. Jiraiya's going to need to have something really good up his sleeve if he wants to last three seconds in a ring with Roshi.
