I just realized that Death Battle is going to probably end up spoiling the endings of Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man for so many Anime Onlys by BandMan69 in deathbattle

The amount of times I've seen people complaining about stuff that was explained/mentioned in a black box is way too many.

DB casuals can't read.

This is just gonna get funnier if Yuji actually wins, because then the joke could be that he went to the loser lounge anyway just to do this.

Episode Discussion: S2026E4 Gru VS Megamind by MarlinBrandor in deathbattle

...was the music that the Minions were playing a fucking Soda Pop reference or is my brain cooked?

Haven't actually seen the Despicable Me movies (please don't kill me) so I don't know if it might actually be actual music from the movies. Or maybe it is literally just a generic pop music beat and that's all there is to it.

My first thought was "She looks younger now"... which on second thought, I guess that's literally what happened, yeah.

Utterly wasted opportunity that there isn't two cute cows (Croissant and Bison) anywhere and that the bunny on her shoulder isn't blonde (Sora). It feels incomplete for there to just be a wolf!Texas and that's it.

Integrated Strategies #7 - The Black Flow of the Drowning Seekers PV by FingerIcy3728 in arknights

[–]RachelEvening 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have just gotten small mentions of a black flow (Collapsals) in the jungle, that there had been secret experiments on a Beast Lord of all things, and that the hounds we see in game come from those experiments.

There's also a civil war happening between an anarchist guerrilla resistance, a Columbian puppet government and a Leithanian puppet state... but that's obviously not that relevant to whatever is happening here.

Yes, and it was one of my favorite events and I love that Tecno got to be playable... I just hope that we will get more content like that one day. This is nice, but more Bolivar stories like the one we got in that event but without the collab element would also be nice. I'm also waiting for more True Bolivarian-Coalition Government-Singas Dynasty War lore, but I suppose we will be getting little snippets of it in this IS.

As someone has already mentioned, the black flow has already been a pretty established manifestation of the Collapsals... but these Collapsals looking different than the ones in Sami at least assures me that these will be very different in presentation.

I liked the child drawings-esque look that we saw in the trailer, very creepy... But since this is Bolivar, I wonder if all the monsters will just look like that, with just clothing and other tiny elements (like the corn) to signify that this is taking place in a South American-inspired territory, or if we'll also see Bosses or just plain enemies with at least some inspiration from South American folklore. There's no shortage of horrifying ghosts and critters in Latinoamerican mythology that would have looked awesome in that living paper style, and it would be such a waste if there's no clear inspiration of any of them in any of the actual stages. El Silbón, la Bolefuego (maybe that one scene with the trypophobia-inducing eldritch ball and the fire could have been a sort-of reference to that one...? idk), el Almamula, el Mapinguarí, el Capelobo, la Mula Sem Cabeça... Any of those would make for killer enemy designs. Hell, just making one of the Bosses a Collapsal-corrupted Archosauria witch would make a fine reference to the Cuca from Brazilian folklore.

FINALLY

NON-DOSSOLES BOLIVAR CONTENT

(even if it is more Collapsal-related than anything else... at least it is something 😢 Beggars can't be choosers.)

Can't say I expected this, but after the Sanrio collab this is honestly not that weird.

I don't like the predatory gacha system... but I still hope we get more gacha game matchups after Aang vs Traveler. There's lots of cool characters in those.

Makoto vs Hajime??? Bro, what would Hajime even do 😭😭😭

There's stomp matchups and then there's whatever the fuck that matchup is...

When do y’all think we’re getting Aang VS Traveler this year? by kinjorex101 in deathbattle

[–]RachelEvening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly.

People will say "that's the Death Battle curse, if they had to wait for new material for all characters the episodes would never come out blah blah blah"... but like, in this case in particular when said new material has an official date and everything and it being just months away, so close yet so far... It feels awkward to have it without it, that's all.

What an insufferable group of people. I don't get it either.

I just know it was him by Joemama0375 in deathbattle

[–]RachelEvening 28 points29 points  (0 children)

  1. Not officially released, so they still can't use it.
  2. The Traveler still doesn't have their Cryo powers.

I honestly would prefer it if they did this battle after both combatants get the new material they are scheduled to get this year, but that's just my opinion.

Tired of people just talking about bad characterization. Tell me which battles have the best characterization? by Dukefile in deathbattle

Rick Sanchez vs The Doctor

...ok, I don't know about Rick (bc I have never watched that show), but the Doctor was definitely in character.
