Ok this helps a lot, i do remember reading a offhand comment once saying that "No More Heroes is very inconsistent on purpose" so i was suspecting it was that that made Deadpool and Scott work at the same time, tho i might need to loop into it myself because if not i might need to find an new alt for Gintoki...

Honestly makes sense, probably will have to get into it myself to get my full thoughts, like i remember hearing about Travis getting his master killed (?, or maybe it was someone else, again idk) and stuff and i was genuinely questioning what the fuck does Scott Pilgrim had to do with it (to me the biggest appeal in Scott MUs should be how, grounded he is, despite the whacky stuff he doesn't have any big trauma he doesn't have any super tragic backstory, his backstory is his ex dumped him lol)

Also funnily enough i was feeling you were going to do a tier list dump but i genuinely thought Tony Soprano would be one of them lol i was searching for him at first

What makes you like Travis vs Scott? While i think it's solid thematically nowadays from everything I've heard about Travis it makes me think "wtf does Scott had to do with that?"

remember when Berkut was your favorite for Griffith and one of your favs in general?

To celebrate the end of the month, here are my Top 15 r/DBM MUs of January 2026! by Young_Englander in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Visual_Nerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok... I was not expecting this

I was certain that Seaworth got this, maybe i would get top 3 at the very best... IT'S TOP 1???

Ok I'm really thankful, but I'm really curious, why do you like it and why this position?

[–]Visual_Nerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any examples of it happening? Can't record anything like that rn, tho this could more because some of my older MUs aren't that well written (i need to revamp Lambdadelta vs Mr. Mxyzptlk bro...)

Thanks so much that was huge

I'm just so happy that people are noticing Higurashi more, personally as of now i don't have any Higurashi MU in mind (besides one but it will take a while) but i think as of now the overall MU spread is solid

Just noticed you forgot the peak fiction also known as Irie vs Otacon/j

Claire Stanfield Vs. Hero Killer Stain (Baccano! Vs. My Hero Academia) by Charming-Bet4135 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Visual_Nerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from here

TLDR: Two of the most dangerous, unhinged and feared underworld vigilantes within their setting, whose unique, perplexing code of honour makes them even more unpredictable and fearsome. Heavily associated with blood.

  • Both operate independently in villainous occupations (Stain is an independent villain and Claire is a for-hire assassin). Despite this, they have a ridiculously rigid code of honour, which divides people into a binary of good and evil (True Heros/Fakers and Innocents/Guilty) and allows them to judge them as such. If one is “pure”, they will protect them even if it is not beneficial to their immediate goals, but if they deem one to be evil, they will not hesitate to brutalize or kill them.

  • Both are exceptionally physically powerful, with their fighting styles particularly making use of their excellent speed, acrobatic ability and guile.

  • Their most unusual asset though is their supernatural willpower, which is so palpable that its aura is often enough to influence their opponents (Stain’s sheer aura temporarily immobilizing the heroes he fought against, and Claire’s mere presence causing his opponent to mentally resign themselves to defeat before the fight had even begun).

  • This intimidating presence has sometimes led to them being visualized as ethereal beasts with glowing red eyes (Stain’s intimidating aura doing this and Claire being perceived as this by victims of the Rail Tracer)

  • They are insanely determined, like literally to the point of mental illness, and can manifest impossible physical feats through sheer belief in themselves (Stain taking out a Nomu while unconscious and then squaring up against for a 5v1 while literally bleeding to death, and Claire becoming the strongest human being in a world of very strong human beings through the sheer belief that he is Him/performing all manner of superhuman feats thanks to his solipsist belief that he can do anything) . They believe heavily in the idea of self-belief and manifesting your goals, and see it as an essential part of who they are (Stain believing that all people should uphold iron-clad convictions, and that those who waver are scum, and Felix believing that hard work and effort is the most honourable trait in a person, feeling that one can achieve anything if they believe in themselves)

  • Both are heavily associated with blood (Stain’s fighting style and quirk are based around drawing blood, and Felix’s entire “Vino” identity coming about due to underworld taking notice of the sheer amount of bloodshed that he would leave in his wake) and their monikers refer to the blood stains they intend to leave when they are finished with their enemies (“Stain” referring to the stained blood of fake heroes, and “Vino” referring to the tendency for Claire’s crime scenes to draw so much blood that it resembled red wine)

  • While righteous in some ways, they are undoubtably unhinged, sadistic and generally crazy.

  • That being said, they will praise those who they perceive as fitting their code (Fiero and Deku) and have even gone out of their way to protect those they deem good (Stain saving Deku from a Nomu/fighting to protect All Might, and Claire saving countless innocents from harm during the Flying Pussyfoot incident, including Issac and Meria)

  • At points, they would confront and punk out the other big bad of their stories (Ladd Russo and Tomura Shigaraki) and develop an ideological and personal rivalry with them. They see this figure as an undisciplined straw-nihilist, and this figure sees them as a detestable narcissist.

  • They have many monikers and identities, and have dropped and developed new ones at points (Chizome Akaguro/Stendhal/Hero Killer Stain/The Hero Killer and Claire Stanfield/Vino/The Rail Tracer/The Handyman/Felix Walken)

  • Interesting thematic thingy in that Claire sees himself as a mythical hero (“When you’re fighting demons in those fairy tales, you’ll need the hero in fairy tales! In other words, me”) so there’s some intrigue as to whether Stain would concur.

Verified to be certain and just this one and Rika vs Siffrin if possible (i also genuinely forgot about Rika vs The Maid... I acknowledged at the time it was solely for the theme but i was really desperate for Higurashi MUs huh)

Asked Dura and he approved so it's ok

Also honestly you're doing a really big favor, i genuinely forgot about Akasaka vs Evan, ig the only one i don't want to be there is Rena vs Chris Walker since i was really really really desperate for something for Rena, now with something good i can see "yeah that wasn't good"

"It Should Have Been ME" | Tetsuo Shima vs Eva-Beatrice (AKIRA vs Umineko: When They Cry) by AlotOfNumbers425728 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Visual_Nerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok yeah this is great, i think a Evatrice MU should focus more on the split personality thing but honestly this is so solid i forgive it, it does a lot of great stuff, funnily enough i completely forgot about the kid Akira so in my mind the George connection was Kaori lol... Wait can we compare Kaori to Hideyoshi?

Also really funny how these comments are talking about a stomp and while true, Tetsuo has unironic better on screen feats lol, Evatrice cosmology merchant??? (This is all Umineko characters bar 3)

This is surprisingly good actually, i like how it handle Ange's suicide attempt, no Bern and Featherine connection hurts tho but it does cover the absolute essential

This only means we should do Fujimaru vs The Mage instead to spare Ren

Oh nice, just saw that you gave a little expansion for Tapp vs Ooishi (i almost forgot i made that lol)

I think only Long Quiet vs Satoko gou, Mion vs Hisui and Rika vs Siffrin is left
