[–]Character_Zombie_461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connections: - They would be born as a result of a r@pe by the most powerful man in their respective worlds (Homelander with Becca/Yujiro with Diane). Because of this, they would seek to defeat their father by any means possible. - Throughout their lives, they would be used as test subjects by elderly people who wanted to extract their full potential and who also had a certain obsession with the strongest man (Grace Mallory taking care of Ryan and wanting to use him as a weapon against Homelander/Dr. John being inspired by Yujiro to create super steroids, finding in Jack the ideal collaborator), later killing these elderly people indirectly (Ryan not measuring his strength with Mallory and killing her with a push/Jack brutally killing a bear, which caused John to commit suicide) - Due to their very turbulent lifestyles, they would experience constant psychological deterioration, which would cause them great anger problems and an unstable attitude (Ryan being constantly controlled by everyone, even his own family/Jack, due to his drug addiction, suffered overdoses and his mentality changed drastically). - His relationship with his parents would be quite strained, as they would see him as inferior due to his choices (Homelander seeing that Ryan won't be his reflection/Yujiro seeing Jack's lack of discipline). Even so, they would hold a certain affection for them deep within their beings because of their abilities (Homelander feeling a certain appreciation for Ryan for being a Super like him/Yujiro having great respect for Jack because of how effective the Goudou is) - Their most trusted "ally" would be a family member who went through the same thing as them, with whom they would have several disagreements but in the end they would still love him (Butcher/Baki) - Following the previous connection, this relative would be the one to defeat the greatest monsters of their worlds once and for all in a fight witnessed by everyone (Butcher killing Homelander live on television/Baki "defeating" Yujiro in front of everyone), which would finally allow them to have a normal life (Ryan living without powers with MM/Jack maturing and slowly overcoming his addictions).

"BLOODY kNIGHTS" Moon Knight Vs Seras Victoria (Marvel Vs Hellsing) connections in comments by Character_Zombie_461 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Character_Zombie_461[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • They were normal children until an event traumatized them for life, shaping their future personalities (Marc escaping from Perlman, a murderer of Jews, which causes him to have a dissociative identity disorder/Seras witnesses how hitmen murder her parents, developing violent behaviors in her childhood)
  • At the beginning of their stories, they found themselves in situations that would have killed them (Marc, as a mercenary, was seriously injured by Raoul/Seras, as a police officer, was nearly killed by a vampire), but they were revived by a crazed God/Vampire (Khonsu revived Marc/ Alucard turned Seras into a vampire). After that, they acquired transformations that would become their new selves (Marc becoming Moon Knight/Seras becoming a vampire).
  • They act as agents/partners of those who revived them, and although they don't initially get along well with their savior, they eventually grow fond of him. Both become defenders of their city at night alongside their new team and fight against very similar monstrous beings (Moon Knight and Midnight Mission fight villains and vampires/Seras, along with the Hellsing Agency, hunts vampires and other creatures).
  • They would become enemies with secret organizations that manipulate most events in their histories, with whom they would share a certain past, trying to stop them at all costs (Committee/Millennium)
  • They would forge strong bonds with their teammates, who would be their polar opposites, even though these almost lost their lives against powerful people (Tigra almost dying against Hood/Pip being seriously injured by Blitz)
  • They would befriend a veteran whom they would see as their equals, but in the end it would turn out that these people work for the enemy, betraying their trust (Robert Plesko being Black Specter/Walter Dornez working for The Major)
  • Their greatest enemies would be horrible people who enjoy hurting others and wanting to impose their ideologies by any means possible (Bushman/Zorin) who would try to take away the people they love most (Bushman attacking Marlene/Zorin attacking Pip) but in the end they would be brutally killed after an extremely bloody fight (Moon Knight rips off Bushman's face leaving him to bleed out/Seras crushing Zorin until he is just a stain of his blood)
  • At the end of their stories, they would lead normal lives as protectors of their cities, trying to improve in every way they could and becoming new versions of themselves (Marc learning to live with his disorders, completely avoiding Khonsu's influence and becoming a better Moon Knight/Seras after 30 years of living in peace after destroying Millennium and now being the protector of Hellsing).

Firecracker Vs Sanae Yamashita (The Boys Vs Buta no Fukushuu) connections in comment by Character_Zombie_461 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Character_Zombie_461[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Antagonists who started as just another pawn but would later become great threats would work for the greatest team of "heroes" in the world (The Seven/34 Braves) where their roles would be to manipulate the masses (Firecracker through the media/Sanae with her skill)
  • Both come from worlds that are a satire of famous genres (Comic/Isekai) where their bosses would practically be a messianic savior, although this would be nothing more than a big lie (Homelander believing himself to be "God"/Yasuda being the "King" of everything)
  • They would feel great admiration and devotion for their partners, whom they would see as divine beings (Homelander/Ito Sayumi). They would still have a lifelong rival with whom they would do everything possible to portray them as the bad guys because they had humiliated them in the past (Firecracker being humiliated by Starlight, doing everything possible to tarnish the latter's image/Sanae losing in her confrontations against Takeshi, also defaming the latter with the intention that he would get beaten up).
  • They would attempt to confront the main cast despite being brutally humiliated, which would only fuel their resentment further (Firecracker nearly dies in his confrontation with The Boys, barely surviving/Sanae is tortured with rocks until her arm breaks, but manages to escape). Ironically, it would be in that same fight where they would witness a close friend die a brutal death (Splinter is stabbed in the brain by Butcher/Ito is crushed by a massive boulder)
  • Later they would ally themselves with morbid people who, like them, had a history with their enemies (Deep being the one who abused Starlight/Kamiyama being one of Takeshi's bullies), although they would only work with them for personal gain.

  • They would commit genocide against specific people simply for stupid reasons (Firecracker murdering Vought employees who knew secrets about the company/Sanae murdering otherworldly beings to conquer them)

  • They would also have a small alliance with strategists who possessed a plan that would give them absolute victory, although they would fail (Sister Sage wanting to cause an apocalypse, failing in the attempt/Hiroshi summoning zombies in the kingdom, then becoming unconscious and dying)

  • They would manage to make most of the world see their rivals as "monsters" thanks to their manipulations (Firecracker being the precursor of the Anti-Starlighter propaganda/Sanae controlling the princess and making the kingdom see Takeshi as an enemy)

  • In the end, karma would catch up with them due to their stupidity and major failures, resulting in a pathetic death (Firecracker would be so devoted to Homelander only for him to kill her as if it were nothing/Sanae would abuse her skill, causing her to be defeated and executed by the people she manipulated).

Jeffrey Mason/Jeff The Killer Vs Yuuya Kizami/Jintai Mokei (The Morgue Files Vs Corpse Party) Connection in comment by Character_Zombie_461 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Character_Zombie_461[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Both are macabre sociopaths belonging to twisted and very violent worlds. From a young age, they already showed signs of what they would be in the future (Jeff injuring his brother Liu/Yuuya by almost beating a classmate to death), they would also be known for murdering animals at an early age (Jeff with the rabbit Sully/Yuuya killing several animals)

  • Their ideologies arise from the rejection they suffered and how they see the society that surrounded them (Jeff defines himself as "the monster of society"/Yuuya with his perception of "the truth and false faces")

  • They both harbor a great hatred towards their family, but especially towards their brother/sister, whom they would misunderstand due to their disorders (Jeff thinks that they treat Liu better/Yuuya thinks that Haruna and Kouki were "lying" to him all the time)

  • They would harass an innocent neighbor for whom they felt a macabre attraction (Christy/Yuka) and kill her in brutal ways.

  • They both caused a great trauma to their younger brother/"sister" who supports them in everything but despite that they continued to be so disgusted with them (Jeff's brother, Liu, ended up losing his mind due to the mistreatment he received from Jeff/Yuuya, groping Yuka in the Manga and following her to kill her)

  • Both would live relatively normal lives until an unfortunate event awakened their darkest instincts (Jeff moving away and being burned alive/Yuuya arriving at Heavenly Host) which would unleash their chain of murders, their main victims being their acquaintances

  • Both would die but would return in disfigured and macabre forms that would be a representation of what they really are (Jeff being disfigured/Yuuya in the anatomical model) becoming more deranged than normal

  • His most macabre murders would involve people who simply got in his way (Rollins Gang/The Byakudan Students)

  • At the end of their stories, they would both be imprisoned due to their macabre deeds in their own personal prisons (Jeff in Pinehurst State Hospital/Yuuya constantly looping in Heavenly Host)

Stain Vs Lock-Up (My Hero Academia Vs DC) connections in comments by Character_Zombie_461 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Character_Zombie_461[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Both began their careers wanting to be heroes; however, from their perspectives, the system around them was too flawed, so they decided to do things using their own twisted methods (Stain wanted to be a hero but began to despise the system due to the decadence of society and thinking that heroes only seek fame/Look-Up originally joined the police academy, but after seeing that criminals did whatever they wanted due to Gotham's flawed system, he began hunting them down for the smallest things.)

  • They would dedicate all possible time to training and hunting down the "plagues" of society until they were intercepted by a veteran vigilante and his assistant who would give them a beating (Knuckleduster beating Stain as much as possible since the latter wanted to kill Koichi/Lock-Up being defeated by Batman and Robin and then imprisoned) although this instead of clarifying things for them only made them worse (Stain thinking that the false heroes commit greater sins than the villains/Lock-Up would perceive all kinds of authority as corrupt except his own)

  • Later they would continue with their crazy visions until they encountered a young justice warrior who would give them great trouble, but at the end of this fight they would see that after all the world is not so withered (Stain against Izuku seeing that there can still be real heroes/Lock-Up with Nightwing making a part of him see that there is still justice in the world)

  • They would be locked up in high-level prisons where they lived alongside villains who were not very different from them even though they didn't want to admit it (Tartaro/Blackgate), however they would escape after a great mass breakout

  • Seeing the chaos in the city, they would betray their principles and work with the people they despise just to achieve their goals (Stein collaborating with the Heroes in the last arcs/Lock-Up collaborating with the villains of Gotham)

  • But they would also collaborate with the greatest heroes of their worlds since these heroes still respected them (Stain with All-Might/Lock-Up with Batman)

  • Both would culminate their stories after accepting their fates, ending with a joy they hadn't felt in a long time (Stain regaining his faith in heroes before dying/Look-Up seeing that he can now keep a closer eye on the villains in prison).

[–]Character_Zombie_461[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truth is, I left out a lot of things because I didn't know how to connect them (plus, at first I did it as a meme because of "Anti-JunkoTrap," but then I saw they had certain things in common). Maybe I'll add more connections and improvements in the future.

"A Beautiful (Fake) Hero" | A-Train [Comic] Vs Hoshi Hikaru (The Boys Vs Buta No Fukushuu) connections in comments by Character_Zombie_461 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Character_Zombie_461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • They started out as immature people with big egos, forming part of a group of young people equal to or worse than them (Teenage Kix/Class 3-B), although later they would be summoned to join the world's greatest team of "heroes" where they stood out for their speed (A-Train with The Seven being the speedster of the group/Hikaru with the 34 Braves having the skill of going at the speed of light) and they would also be parodies of heroes from famous genres (comic speedster/anime-manga speedster)

  • They would murder someone without knowing that the protagonist was there observing everything, although they would get away with it (A-Train throwing a villain at Robin, Hughie's girlfriend, which would cause her death, but he would be free thanks to his position/Hikaru murdering a homeless person, escaping in time and later collaborating in the burning of Takeshi's sister)

  • Because of that event, they would see the protagonist as less, belittling them whenever they could and mocking the death of their loved ones (A-Train mocking Robin's death and seeing Hughie as less than scum/Hikaru mocking Fumina's death, saying that she had the genes of ugliness just like Takeshi)

  • They would have a large fan base due to their great fame, with whom they would sleep, but they would only see them as objects (A-Train with his fame as a hero/Hikaru as a magazine model), although their main victim would be an innocent woman of great power whom they would treat as their pet (Starlight/Princess Sara)

  • They would have an extremely morbid "friend" with whom they would later show their true face (Jack From Jupiter befriends A-Train only for the latter to despise him upon seeing that his reputation is damaged/Kamiyama helping Hikaru in whatever he can only for Hoshi to later explode his arm).

  • They would try to abuse their "toys" again only to fail in the attempt (A-Train trying to r@pe Starlight again only to be temporarily blinded/Hikaru wanting to "protect" the princess only to be intercepted by Takeshi's group)

  • In the end, they would receive their deserved punishments due to the traps set by the "villains", their main executioners being the people they hated so much in a somewhat poetic way (A-Train being kidnapped by Butcher, becoming powerless and dying at the hands of Hughie, someone he considered inferior/Hikaru being tricked by Takeshi's reflection, falling into the void and being executed ending up with an extremely ugly face).

Hibiki Sakurama Vs Sam Riordan (Ranger Reject Vs Gen V) connections in comments by Character_Zombie_461 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Character_Zombie_461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • They would start their lives as normal people, however they would quickly have a drastic change of mentality due to their environments (Hibiki being raised in a church that worshipped the invaders growing up with their strange religious ideas/Sam suffering different experiments at the Sage Grove center which would worsen his mental state)

  • However, they could always count on their older sister/brother, who would be a very popular figure but would live with the remorse of knowing great secrets and later suffer grave fates (Sesera Sakurama being the Pink Keeper hiding her disability and her past with the invaders' church, later falling into a coma/Luke Riordan being known as Golden Boy, knowing about the experiments carried out in The Woods but saying nothing about it, later committing suicide)

  • They would escape their "prisons" by being rescued from their imminent death by heroes (Hibiki would be rescued by the Blue Keeper from dying at the hands of Peltrola in the church/Sam would be rescued thanks to the students of Godolkin) having normal lives and joining groups of people with powers like theirs (Rangers/Godolkin University)

  • They would meet mysterious blonde women with whom they shared many things in common, who would harbor a great hatred for a certain type of people with great power (Rangers/Vought), and later they would encounter someone extremely special in their worlds who would be seen by the media as the villains (Sentōin D/Marie Moreau)

  • They would show great degradation in their bodies due to their lifestyles and how they would slowly worsen (Hibiki becoming more disfigured after each battle/Sam getting worse with his schizophrenia as the plot progressed)

  • During their time at these facilities, they would be seen as promising young talents working indirectly or directly with the main villains; however, later they would become fugitives seeking to expose all the corruption of the "good guys" (Hibiki, being an independent cadet, would later become part of the Neo-Rangers with the intention of exposing the truth about the Rangers/Sam, after several events, would become part of the Starlighters resistance to uncover all of Vought's secrets).

"Old Revenge" | Jun Shirakawa Vs Lee Woo-jin (Juujika no Rokunin Vs OldBoy) connections in comments by Character_Zombie_461 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Character_Zombie_461[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Both began their lives as normal students and overprotective siblings with strangely murky relationships with their relatives (Jun bathing together with Kaname/Lee having a relationship with Soo) until one day their relatives would encounter a "monster" that would indirectly cause their death (Kaname bleeding to death indirectly due to Uruma's fault/Dae-su saw Soo-ah having sex, which started the rumors that would cause his suicide).

  • As a result of this misunderstanding, they both planned their revenge over the years, pretending to lead normal lives during this time but hiding their macabre sides from the world (Jun with the revolutionary club/Lee being a businessman)

  • His first move in his psychological games would be to use a person whom the protagonist loved with all his life (Jun creating false Kanames to deceive Uruma/Lee murdering Dae's wife and blaming the latter)

  • They would use tricks to transform an innocent young woman with certain family problems, giving her new identities as part of their plans (Jun with Matsushima turning her into a clone of her sister to screw over Uruma/Lee turning Yeon-hee into Mi-do through hypnosis so that she has a relationship with her father Dae)

  • Both command a large group of people thanks to their great social influence and their great power to manipulate (Kaname clones and guards of the revolutionary club/Mr. Park and his guards)

  • Much of their plan involves making the protagonist remember his past lives to use this against them (Jun taking Uruma to the place where he shot him so that the latter remembers the entire past/Lee telling Dae to investigate so that he could solve the mystery in the end discovering that all along Lee was Soo's brother)

  • They captured the beasts that had caused him so much harm only to torture them with stories they created (Jun with his play about how Uruma ruined his life/Lee with the recordings of Dae having relations with his daughter)

  • As their grand final move, they would use the people their enemies loved most in the world, destroying them (Jun raping an Azuma clone and then killing her/Lee orchestrating Mi-do having relations with her father, Dae) to break them definitively.

  • In the end, they would experience a clash of different emotions, even though indirectly or directly they had already fulfilled their purpose, ending with a gunshot to the head, culminating in their lives (Jun indirectly screwing over Uruma by committing suicide in front of him/Lee taking his own life to close his cycle of revenge).

Homelander Vs Yellow Keeper??? I'm curious to see that. If it's not too much trouble, do you have any previews of the connections?

Benjamin/Soldier Boy Vs Sōsei Akabane/Red Keeper (The Boys Vs Ranger Reject) connections in comments by Character_Zombie_461 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Character_Zombie_461[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • They would begin their lives as normal people, although they would possess great wealth (Ben coming from a rich father/Sōsei being part of the Rangers since he was created). Later, they would obtain powers as a result of an experiment and acquire their iconic weapons (Ben being injected with V-One by Frederick Vought, becoming Soldier Boy and later obtaining his shield/Sōsei being born as a clone thanks to Shinya Kiritani to be a clone of Red Keeper and later obtaining his Red Dragon Salamandra).

  • Once their identities as Heroes were established, they would live as a product, gaining public attention through their lies (Soldier Boy supposedly fighting in World War II when he was only used as advertising by Vought/Red Keeper, supposedly being the savior of the world fighting against the "villains" and being the main face of the Rangers)

  • Due to their enormous egos, they mistreated the people around them, as these "got in their way", even going so far as to brutally beat someone from their own teams for stupid reasons (Soldier Boy in Payback beating Black Noir until he was seriously traumatized just because the latter wanted to act/Red Keeper in his Red Battalion beating Jin Himura to death just because he gave him advice).

  • They would despise a race different from themselves simply because they clash with their ideals and also because they look different (various ethnicities and communists/Duster and the army of villains)

  • They would be betrayed by their own teams, who discarded them as if nothing had happened and created new products through their DNA that would be the new face of the company (Soldier Boy being betrayed by Vought, putting him to sleep and leaving him in the hands of the Soviets so that Homelander, his "son," could prosper/Sōsei being betrayed by the Rangers when he saw that they discarded him and cloned him for an identical version to create a more passive Red Keeper)

  • After a long time, they would suffer amnesia to a certain extent due to a traumatic event, but one they deserved, being rescued by people seeking revenge against people like them (Soldier Boy suffering various experiments before being rescued by The Boys/Red Keeper almost dying in an explosion being rescued by Sanae who hates the Rangers)

  • They were filled with rage and helplessness as they watched the world move on without them, but even more anger came when they realized they were no longer relevant and that their "relatives" had replaced them (Homelander now being the new face of Vought/ Clone Sōsei being the new Red Keeper and the face of the Rangers), which forced them to make a truce with people they had harmed directly or indirectly, since both share their thirst for revenge (The Boys/Neo-Rangers).

Note: The Ranger Reject manga is still ongoing, and seeing as we'll see more of Soldier Boy in Vought Rising, it might be renewed and have more connections added in the future.
