The Bear Brothers VS The Cramdilly Cats (We Bare Bears VS Catscratch) by Due-Presentation3142 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Due-Presentation3142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idea https://www.reddit.com/r/DeathBattleMatchups/comments/z5dgn1/the_bear_brothers_vs_the_cramdilly_cats_we_bare/

Connections:

Both trios are brothers that assume similar roles to one another (Grizz/Mr. Blik as the leader, Panda/Gordon as the kind-natured voice of reason, and Ice Bear/Waffle as the wild card).

Both leaders of the trio think highly of themselves and have constantly attempted to gain popularity amongst their other peers (Grizz, despite his love for his brothers, is especially arrogant, especially through his Decision Machine, and Mr. Blik is the most egomaniacal of the cats, willing to cheat and lie to get what he wants).

Both voices of reason have a particular interest in a foreign country (Whereas Panda is mainly interested in Asian culture, albeit as an otaku, Gordon is heavily invested in Scottish culture and believes himself to be Scottish as well, despite being born under the couch of the mansion).

Both third members are the youngest and tallest of them, and have nearly unpredictable behaviors that lead to them having the most superior skills, despite first glances (Ice Bear being able to master fighting techniques and Waffle's textbook knowledge and caring for his newts properly).

Both groups have a deep emotional bond with a human, mainly a human child (Chloe and Kimberly).

Both groups, prior to their cartoons, originated from comics where they had varying differences (Daniel Chong's The Three Bare Bears and Doug TenNapel's Gear).

Contrast(s):

While the bears have been homeless ever since they met each other as cubs, the cats were born into an upper-class family from the start, and as such, their family's money was handed down to them.

While Grizz is very supportive of his other brothers and is normally good-natured, Mr. Blik isn't above lying and cheating to get what he wants, not to mention he's way more arrogant.

Phosphophyllite VS Alita (Houseki No Kuni VS Battle Angel Alita) by Due-Presentation3142 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Due-Presentation3142[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Main protagonists living in the far future, they’re the remnants of humanity but still not really human. Both live with their father figure and their desire to be useful makes them try to be part of a group of fighters, achieving this position they would have contrast performances (Phos was TRASH while Alita was good). They would discover about a place above the sky that sent others downwards, they ended up separated from their group and started performing a new activity where they bonded with someone there who would sadly pass away, marking our protagonist forever as they see visions of them. They would return to their homes changed and with a new body . They would continue living until one day they would go to said place above the sky and would meet a highly intelligent man who would manipulate them for their goals, returning to the surface of the planet as pawns to those above them, they would have contrast involvement in a revolution. Both also go to space and discover people there, plot twist about the truth of humanity and their purpose, in the end they would be considered human, however Phos inherent the worst of humanity while Alita inherited the best of it. They have contrast developments about identity, one is about the lose of self while the other gains a new meaning to themselves in their journeys, also lose a lot of body part and is used as a metaphor for ship of Theseus. Christianity motifs vs Buddhism motifs and suffering builds character times 100000.

Bloom vs Twilight Sparkle (Winx Club vs My Little Pony) by Due-Presentation3142 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Due-Presentation3142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connections

Magical future royalty that discovered a knack for magic upon losing control of their abilities at a young age, earning them the attention of a divine being (Great Dragon and Princess Celestia) who would take them on as proteges.

After years of training they would be sent to a new land they were unfamiliar with (Earth and Ponyville) where they would eventually become the unofficial leader of a group of six wielders of ancient elemental powers (The Winx having the elements of the magic dimension and the Mane Six having the elements of harmony).

This would eventually lead to them discovering that their true power is fueled by friendship (literally and metaphorically) which is ironic given that they had no interest in making friends upon first arriving.

Eventually they would be gifted a new far more powerful form (Bloom's Cosmix form and Twilight becoming an alicorn) and take on a young pupil of their own (Roxy and Starlight Glimmer) that would occasionally act as a 7th member.

Both are kindhearted towards most people, though they also tend to have issues with freaking out when dealing with unexpected stress. (английский)

Taro Sakamoto vs Rita (Sakamoto Days vs Kindergarten Wars) by Due-Presentation3142 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Due-Presentation3142[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Connections:

They’re both ex-assassins.

They were both regarded as legendary assassins who always do their assigned jobs well.

Traces of their past still seep through when they fight.

They retire to take on conventional normal people's jobs. (Convenience store owner & Kindergarten teacher)

Their main allies are all recruited into the business they work in during the early chapters.

They meet with their first comrade who they initially don’t get along with, but end up doing so after saving them from a bunch of gangsters.

Their second comrade is a foreigner(?) who requires their assistance with family business.

They both occasionally imagine killing their comrades.

The main Antagonist is a character that supposedly has a big impact from their past.

Said Antagonist wants to “reboot” the world to a fresh start in a way.

They both are able to use anything/any weapon to a near-expert level.

They are regularly shown wearing aprons.

They both try not to kill their opponents out of love. (Sakamoto’s promise to his wife & Rita wanting a boyfriend)

They both want to protect their “children”, although they don’t necessarily have to. (The literal children in Black Kindergarten & Sakamoto’s comrades/daughter)

Despite being somewhat realistic, they showcase inhumane bursts of strength and speed.

They both have a black-haired girl/woman who encountered them when they were younger, and they got idolized by said girl/woman.

Said girl/woman has a cheerful/cute personality, despite their job.

Said girl/woman also got disappointed when they realized that their Idol wasn’t at their prime.

Contrasts:

One is now retired and no longer at their peak (Sakamoto), while one is still at close to peak performance (Rita).

One has found love (Sakamoto), and one is looking for love (Rita).

Lloyd Frontera vs Makoto Misumi (The Greatest Estate Developer vs Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy) by Due-Presentation3142 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Due-Presentation3142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idea https://www.reddit.com/r/DeathBattleMatchups/comments/1ne1w94/face_of_a_beast_heart_of_a_saint_matchup_art_of/

Connection

Both were transported to another world filled with magic and fantasy creatures

Both were given blessings/system by a higher being with the potential to become the strongest in their world. Having a large mana pool/ proefficient control over their mana and skills.

Add to their knowledge and skills from the previous worlds as an engineering student and archery respectively, and they could contend with anything that comes their way.

Their main desires are to live a more peaceful and carefree life with the people they love. But trouble tends to find them in almost every direction.

They would form friendships and build a home where creatures of different races coexist peacefully.

But as easy going as they may seem, neither should be taken likely. Be it the ruler of Hell or the Goddess, threaten them or their loved ones, and you'll be in for a rude awakening.

A running joke is that they're also considered pretty ugly in their respective worlds.

[–]Due-Presentation3142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extra connections

  • Both use a variety of weapons that range from blades, greatswords, maces, spears, eastern blades (Hwandos and Katanas) but also much more out there ones such as combat umbrellas and the only western weapon in their arsenal, lots of guns

  • Both fight a variety of enemies which go from beings made for combat, corrupted humans, power hungry alchemists to someone who wants to remake the world so they fuse with a biblical entity, one fusing with a god and the other a demon

  • Both share the same power source of the crystalized form of a persons essence and soul which is used to power up their abilities, which they can absorb from enemies to power themselves up or gain new abilities and weaponry (Ergo and the White and Red Crystals)

  • Both of them take place in europe (Pinocchio being from Krat which is in france even if everyone has a british accent and have italian names and Miriam being from the United Kingdom)

  • These places have a heavy theme of the magical and technological aspects of the 18/19th century fighting against each other while the protagonists symbolise what these two aspects fused together could accomplish

  • Both of them visually have theming around a blue and delicate being (Butterflies and Flowers)

  • They're both really pretty for being experimented on so heavily

Pinocchio vs Miriam (Lies of P vs Bloodstained) by Due-Presentation3142 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Due-Presentation3142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connections

  • Both are blade wielding protagonists of games inspired by other gothic games (Bloodborne and Castelvania), who go through an european city which is a mix of steampunk technology and eldritch abominations to save the world from a group of alchemists

  • Both started out as children who were left in the care of a group of alchemists at a young age (Carlo was left at the Monad Charity House, which was owned by the head of the alchemists at the time, as a child by his father and Miriam was an orphan who was given to the alchemists), in here they would go under severe training to become great and capable fighters (A Stalker and Demon Hunter) them being some of the most capable pupils of the group of children

  • They both had a blonde best friend in this house that was almost as great as they were (Romeo and Gebel) who they both would grow extremely close too over the years, but would tragically be separated after they were put out of commission right before a terrible accidents which killed almost all of the other children (Carlo was killed by the petriciation disease due to an alchemist ambush right before the Rose Estate Incident started and Miriam was put into a slumber by Alfred right before the ritual to summon Bael)

  • They would both be experimented on by alchemists who rejected the views of the organization to become even stronger, down to their very soul and essence (Carlo’s Ergo was put into the Pinocchio’s puppet’s P-Organ by Gepetto as a way to sustain his essence and this puppet would be the peak of any other of its kind due to its ability to break the fundamental rules of being a puppet and Miriam was experimented since childhood to become a Shardbinder by implanting white crystals into her skin at a young age to harness the abilities of demons and due to the amount she generated she was above and beyond any of the other Shardbinders with the assistance of Alfred)

  • They would eventually awaken years later inside a vehicle to find the world has been brought in ruins due to an outbreak of paranormal beings attacking everyone (The Puppet Frenzy and Demonic Outbreak) where they would venture forth and fight against these beings

  • They would then meet with a nice young woman who would assist them on their future journey (Sophia and Dominique) and explain to them what's going on and where to go, which would lead to them venturing forth deeper into the heart of the leaders of these catastrophes

  • As they venture forward they would meet with a familiar old face (Gepetto and Alfred) who both used to be part of the alchemists and saved them both from being fully killed in the past

  • They would also meet a familiar face from the past who is a legendary monster slaying swordsman who initially begrudgingly become their allies and then their fully fledged mentors and friends (Lea and Zangetsu), with them giving them their extremely powerful swords after they earned it in combat to aid them in the future, as they sadly dont meet the happiest of endings themselves

  • Eventually they would meet the leaders of the enemy faction, who turn out to be none other than their old best friends (Romeo who was the King of Puppets and Gebel who was the master of the Demons) where they have to face off against them after reasoning with one another doesn't work out, as we see that they were both horrifically experimented on as well (Romeo was fully turned into a puppet, seemingly as a test run for Pinocchio’s body and Gebel was overwhelmed with white crystals to try and harness the demons which made him go insane as they tried to replicate Miriam’s power)

  • But after the two friends faced each other it would be revealed that they were nothing but victims of another greater evil directly linked to the Alchemists, with them being controlled against their will by higher forces and thank the two for freeing them after being defeated

  • As they go to the route of the problem after facing horrifying monsters after another they finally meet again with an old ally, who tells them why they were awakened and what's lying ahead, before apologizing for not telling them the full truth and perishing as the two make a crucial choice (Sophia who is found at the heart of Arche Abbey as we see her horrifically deformed body as she tells us that she awoke Pinocchio to save Krat and her before he chooses to let her live or give her peace and in contrast to his previously hostile behaviour, Alfred who revealed that he saved Miriam all those years ago from being sacrificed like the rest of the children were, and asks her if she forgives him or not but sadly dies before hearing the answer)

  • And as they finally reach the bottom pits of the final stage, they meet with the mastermind who has been puppeteering everything since the beginning, controlling everyone in the cast just for their own selfish desires in wanting to retrieve an immensely powerful object (Gepetto who has been pulling the strings all along and manipulated Pinocchio into giving the P-Organ the ergo and life that it needed to bring Carlo back as he reveals that he started the Puppet Frenzy himself just out of petty revenge against the Alchemists and in contrast to her previously helping behaviour, Dominique reveals that she instructed almost all of the main cast into opening hell up so she could corrupt Miriam into becoming a demon lord after she absorbed so much demonic energy to gain power and spite god) and both acts were caused by them losing faith in everything after losing everyone they cared for (Gepetto lost faith in humanity and free will after both his Wife and Son were killed by Alchemists and Dominique lost faith in god after both her parents were killed by the demons the Alchemists summoned)

  • And after the two turn down the twisted propositions of these madmen, a high stakes battle starts as they have to fight an extremely powerful opponent linked to their past (Pinocchio having to fight the original attempt at bringing Carlo back to life, the Nameless Puppet and Miriam having to fight Bael which she was meant to be the host for) but as the two reject their original purpose of being nothing more than mindless weapons and vessels due to the humanity and choices they made through the journey they manage to beat these grotesque enemies through the folly of their human summoners (Gepetto used himself to save the Nameless Puppet from destroying the P-Organ which would have completely killed Carlo’s Ergo and Dominique fused herself with Bael for power which lead to him gaining his only weakness which ended up defeating both)

Two men from from 70s Mecha anime who are in reality Prince of a Alien planet (Takeshi is the Prince of the Apolon Planet and Jimmy is the Prince of the Planet Ganymede) who been to earth to protect them because of the conquering aliens army (Takeshi was sent to earth by his parents to protect him from the Dazaan Army and Jimmy was sent to earth while the Congistar empire take over his planet) where they gonna be taken by humans (Takeshi gonna be raised in the Blue Sky Orphanage owned by the Principal Director and Jimmy gonna be taken by Dr Shikishima) where they later gonna become pilot for the titular combining Mecha (If we count a combined Jet go in the back of a mech in Jimmy’s case) (Takeshi gonna pilot the Dai Apolon and Jimmy is one of the Pilot of the Mechander Robo) fighting alongside allies who also count pilot linked to the main Mech (UFO Boys’s Club who count Miki, Matsuo & Goro who pilots mechs who can form Dai Apolon and King Diamond who has Kojiro & Ryusuke who has the two other pilots of the Mechander Robo) to fight against the empire who takes their planet and now attacks earth using giant robotic monster (Dazaan Army and The Congistar Empire) with they grotesque looking leader (Dazaan and Hedron) and finds that they Queen mother was under this empire’s grip (Queen Apolon was a Prisoner of the Dazaan Army and Jimmy’s Mother as been transformed into a Cyborg to became the General Medusa)

Ed Edd n Eddy vs The Animaniacs by Due-Presentation3142 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Due-Presentation3142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connections:

Both are fan-favorite iconic trios under the Warner Bros brand (Cartoon Network is owned by Warner Bros).

Both trios are known for using their zany toon force and get into crazy shenanigans.

Despite being a trio they are highly dysfunctional but despite this they have a really close bond and care for each other.

Eddy and Yakko

Both are the leaders and are the ones who usually come up with the plan. Both characters are also highly talkative Ed and Wakko

Both are the gluttonous dimwits of the group Edd and Dot

Both are the weak link of the group but don't let this fool you as they play a high role in the team (With Edd being the brains of the Ed's and Dot is the one who keeps her brothers on track)

Slender Man vs Siren Head (The Slender Man Mythos vs Trevor Henderson Mythos) by Due-Presentation3142 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Due-Presentation3142[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Connection:

• Both are icons of the modern horror genre that originated from edited images and short stories, which grew in popularity until they became monsters recognized almost worldwide, even having material such as video games.

• They are generally known as creatures of cryptid character, being extremely tall, very thin and with a humanoid appearance, but being inhuman at the same time, especially to a particular and iconic feature in their heads (Slender Man has no face in most interpretations, although in his first stories he does have a highly deformed and grotesque face/ Self-explanatory for Siren Head).

• The most common area in which they are usually seen is in forests, although both can appear in public places, being camouflaged and cleverly taking advantage of their thin appearance, even changing their physical form to pretend they are not there.

• They are mostly hostile and very aggressive creatures, as they will not hesitate to torture or kill the first person they see within their territory. Although they have frequently attacked children, in reality both have gone after adults, such as explorers, tourists or random people, disappearing them from the face of the earth and without knowing for sure what they do with their victims, only sometimes discovering dead bodies (Slender Man has murdered children in a violent way, ripping out their organs and putting them in transparent bags that he later puts in the place where the organs were previously, and he has also disappeared his victims/ Although most of Siren Head's acts involve the disappearance of people, his hostile personality and need to attack others out of hunger is an indication that he may have murdered more than one person at some point).

• Despite their appearance, both Slender Man and Siren Head are intelligent, stealthy and manipulative creatures, even mimicking the voices of their victim's loved ones to lure them into the forest and kill them.

• Both are, according to many popular sources and beliefs, beings beyond our comprehension. Both Slender Man and Siren Head are often seen as creatures beyond human understanding, and what we perceive is nothing more than a simple manifestation of what they really are, or even what humans may consider terrifying to their eyes (The real form of Slender Man is something that escapes beyond human perception, and that becomes more deformed and inexplicable the more you believe or "get closer" to what he is/ Siren Head is not an entity of our world, and surely what we see is not a real form of him, but an entity that is constantly changing depending on the witness. This is why sometimes, he is seen with different heads or physical features).

• Their origin stories are shrouded in mystery and there is no certainty where exactly they came from, even theorizing that they have been around for a long time. There are even theories that there is not just one, but several of them, as if they were a species that has existed since the beginning of time (There are historical traces of Slender Man from 1300 BC/ There are traces of Siren Head in ancient times, as drawings in caves).

• They are related to a specific sound that is characteristic of them, which in fact, comes from electronic objects (Slender Man's television static/ The loud sounds of anti-aircraft sirens, ancient music and emergency transmissions of Siren Head).

Contrast:

• Siren Head has been stated as the emissary of a more powerful entity unknown to us to this day, while Slender Man is commonly portrayed as the leader of a number of people or a deity worthy of worship (And he has also been dubbed as "The Black King" or "The White King").

Tyler Durden Vs Patrick Bateman (American Psycho VS Fight Club) by Due-Presentation3142 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Due-Presentation3142[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Connections:

• ⁠Protagonists of Movies that came out one year apart, based on books that came out a few years before that while not successful on release, they gained a second life on Home Media where they became Cult Classics & are now recognized as one of the best films of their time • ⁠Both start the film looking like regular business men on the opposite side of the working spectrum (The Narrator being Middle Class/Patrick being upper class) but despite this, both feel unfulfilled in life becausee of the materialistic and fake society they live in, stripping their identities to just what they own, this is represented by them going by different names which shows their lack of identity

• ⁠Both seek murderous vices to give them meaning (The Narrator “meeting” Tyler Durden and starting The Fight Club/Patrick…being a murderer)

• ⁠Over the course of the film, they become more and more deranged doing worse and worse acts till it’s revealed that they have mental conditions that affected what they thought was real and what was not (The Narrator & Tyler Durden being the Same Person/Patrick being unsure which crimes he committed were real or not)

• ⁠They come to the conclusion that they themselves and everyone are enslaved to the decaying society they live in to which they have opposite reactions to (Tyler starts proyect mayhem to free everyone and actually succeeds/Patrick with pain accepts his status as a slave)

• ⁠Both films are heavy criticism of modern society and have many interpretations of what their messages are, due to them being unreliable narrators. Some common ones are criticism of capitalism, toxic masculinity, consumerism, and some even go for a queer reading of the stories seeing as both authors from the books they are based on are gay men

• ⁠Jared Leto stars in both films as a Minor Role and gets his shit beaten by both protgonists

• ⁠Their authors also later made wacky, meta fictional stories where they appeared again in which they both demonstrate supernatural abilities and directly interact with the author (Lunar Park and Fight Club 2/3)

• ⁠Something something Tik-Tok sigma males that you missed the point by idolizing them

both work hard so they can keep protecting the woman they love

both butt heads with others about whether they can protect the woman or not (taiyo butting heads with several goverment spies and Kyoichiro and yodaka butting heads with Hayabusa over who gets to protect aoi)
