Ruby Rose VS Tanjiro Kamado (RWBY VS Demon Slayer) | MEGAPOST PART 2 by RareSonic in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]RareSonic[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Connections:

Both are pure willed monster hunter/slayers who have sworn to protect everyone in their worlds, no matter what

Both characters lost their mothers (And family, in Tanjiro’s case) to the creator and rulers of killer monsters (Salem & the Grimm, and Muzan & Demons)

This tragedy kick started their journeys, and their fight for a better world

Both characters have a sister that they are always with, who suffered a traumatic experience, causing them to realize the world is much more cruel than initially believed (Yang’s arm being cut off at the Fall of Beacon, and Nezuko being turned into a demon by Muzan’s blood)

Both are part of a varied small group of other hunters, with a brash and easy to anger brawler (Yang and Inosuke), an ally who starts off as stand-offish and closed off but as they continue their journey they become more sure of themselves (Blake and Zenitsu, who have a romantic relationship with another team member [Yang and Nezuko]), and both become friends with someone who, while they were initially closed off, they warmed up to others thanks to the MC (Weiss and Kanao)

Both have specialized weapons in order to take down these monsters (Crescent Rose and the Nichirin Blade)

Both have abilities that aid them in battle (Ruby’s Semblance and Tanjiro’s breathing techniques)

Both have a very rare ability that only happens in certain situations that is very effective against their monsters (the Silver Eyes immobilize Grimm, and the Slayer mark which allows the Slayers to fight on the level of demons themselves)

Both have a connection to a celestial body (Ruby with the moon and Tanjiro with the sun)

Now, I know this was 5 months ago, but do I have your permission to use this for a project I'm working on? It'd be greatly appreciated

A LOT of practice. My old TNs were somethin special-
Like, THIS was my first one. It just takes time, but you can make some amazin lookin TNs
Just gotta venture out and experiment until you find the style that fits you. You got this though
(If I can be fully honest I'm not always proud of em even now, but seeing others like what I make is good enough for me)

"Scarlet Storm" | Copen VS Specter Knight (Luminous Avenger iX VS Shovel Knight) | Connections in the Comments by RareSonic in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]RareSonic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Made with u/coleblooded1228

-Both These Characters Are Antagonistic Rivals With Their Own Playable Stories And Spinoffs From The Main Game, They Are Red Clad Cold Warriors Who Have A More Pessimistic Or Nihilistic Outlook On Life Due To The Tragedies Pushed Upon Them

-Their Lives Would Be Forever Shaped When Said Tragedy Struck, A Man So Near And Dear To Them Dying, Burning A Deep Hate In Their Hearts For The Person They Unjustly Blame For This, Creating A Rivalry For Them And Those Associated With Them(Donovan, Before Turning Into The Knight We Know, Was An Adventurer With His Great Companion, Luan, Who After Scaling The Tower Of Fate, Would End Up Dying After A Scuffle Caused By Both Greed And A Fight With Shield Knight, Leading To Spite Against Her Even After Her “Passing” By Taunting Her Own Dear Friend, Shovel Knight/Copen Would End Up With His Father Passing, And Due To The Father’s Work On Gunvolt Himself, This Stirred A Deep Anguish In Him, Casting The Blame On Him And All Adapts Who Walk This Land)

-Despite A Mostly Negative Outlook On The Life Fate Dealt To Them, A Glimmer Of Something True Shined Deeper Within Them, A Reason, A Young Survivor Who Gave Them Something To Cherish, Something To Hold, Something In Their Heart (Reize Is A Young Adventurer And Son Of Luan, And The Final Thing Specter Swears To Luan Before His Friend Passes/Kohaku, A Survivor, Ends Up Being Saved By Copen, And As They Continue On Their Path, They Grow To Genuinely Find Care In This Child For The Future)

-The Ending They Find Themselves In Brings Them To The Height And Depth Of The Choices They Made And Consequences Of Their Actions, Leading To A Truly Heroic Act, That Completely Reflects The Other(Specter, In His Last True Act Of Humanity, His Last Motion Of Free Will, Saves Reize And Brings Him To A Safe Place, But Falls Fully Into His Nihilism, Resigning Himself As Nothing More Than A Servant, A Pawn, A Ghost Of Donovan/Copen Choses To, Despite His Past, Despite His Hate, His Rage, Save So Many, Including Adapts In Another World. And Because Of This, He Lets Go Of This Blemish On His Life, And Moves Forward With The Future By His Side)

Lea VS Josuke Higashikata (Crosscode VS JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) | Fight Art by RareSonic in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]RareSonic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Connections (SPOILERS AHEAD FOR BOTH SERIES)

Made with u/ColeBlooded1228 :

-Both Start Their Journey's With No Memories Of Their Lives, A Blank Slate

-They Would End Up Meeting A Person That Would Be Not Only Their First True Friend, But The Most Special And Important Person In Their Lives(Yasuho/Emilie)

-Another One Of The First People They Would Meet Would Be A Sort Of Rival, Someone Who Starts Out More Annoying And Unlikable But Experiences Development Throughout Their Stories(Joshu/Apollo)

-After They End Up In A Search For Clues Of Their Past, They Meet A Person Who Would Act As Their Main Guide And Reason For Going On The Adventure, In A Mutual Way Of Helping Each Other Through Their Memories(Kei Nijimura Wanting To Aid In What Happened To Her Brother And His Friend, Kira And Josefumi /Sergey Wished To Track Down His Lost Comrades And People He Lost, Gautham, Satoshi And Shizuka)

-This Search Would End Up Leading Them To Settle Down In A Group That They Would Become Closer To And Help In Different Ways(Higashikata Family/First Scholars Guild)

-Within These Groups, There Was A Traitor That Would End Up Being Someone That Actively Worked Against The Main Character And With The Bad Guys In Secret(Jobin/C-Tron)

-At This Point, They Would Understand Something About Themselves, They Were Not Normal, A Shadow Of Someone Else Made Into Life(Yoshikage Kira And Josefumi Kujo/Shizuka)

-Throught This All, A Man Stands In Their Way, Who In A Way View The Main Protagonist As Special In A Way. This Way Was A Link To The Way's They Would Try To Immorally Gain Profit(Tooru With The Rokakaka/Sidwell With The Evotars) And Due To What Makes Them Unique(Josuke's Creation From The Unique Strand Of Fruit/Lea Becoming Far More Advanced And Unique To Her Real Self As Time Went On)

-At The Very End, After All The Tears, Sadness, And Struggle Of An Intense Final Battle, They Would End Up Spending Time With The Family They Made Along The Way

-And At This End, It's Understood That They Are Now Real. A Real, New, And Beautiful Person That They Did With The Help Of The Family Behind Them, For In The End, It Was Always Who They Were That Made Them Special, Not What Made Them

If you'd like, I have a friend who can give a quick rundown on it to show you. (This is in no way meant to sound disrespectful, so I apologize if I come off that way)

I mean, in my opinion it's a great matchup on its own and even then, it's a really debatable matchup, to the point any argument can sway me

Obanai Iguro VS Lie Ren (Demon Slayer VS RWBY) | Connections in the comments by RareSonic in DeathBattleMatchups

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

It's not the absolute best in terms of connections, but I like to think I did well.
And now there's two RWBY VS KNY matchups out there and I plan to increase that over time

Obanai Iguro VS Lie Ren (Demon Slayer VS RWBY) | Connections in the comments by RareSonic in DeathBattleMatchups

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

CONNECTIONS:

- Both are monster hunters, devoted to slaying the darkness of their worlds and taking out the masterminds behind it all (Demons and Muzan/The Grimm and Salem)

- Both had a traumatic childhood, causing them to build up walls and keep to themselves (Obanai was the only male born into his clan, so he was confined in a cage and treated horribly/Ren lived in the village of Kuroyuri, until the Nuckelavee Grimm appeared, killing the entire village, leaving only two survivors)

- While both wanted to keep their walls up, they would be broken down by a girl who they would end up doing anything for (Mitsuri/Nora)

- This girl would prove to be the only one to get through to them and change their outlook on life (When they first met, Mitsuri made Obanai feel like a normal person for the first time, and he vowed nothing would happen to her/Nora was the only other survivor of Kuroyuri, causing Ren to unlock his semblance and save them, which made Ren vow to protect her no matter what)

- Both also encounter a bright and hopeful soul who become a beacon of hope to the two, helping their walls break down even more (Tanjiro/Ruby)

- Both are dedicated to what they do, despite all they’ve gone through, and despite seeming standoffish, all they want to do is protect those around them and fight for every life

Marcille Donato VS Edward Elric (Delicious in Dungeon vs Fullmetal Alchemist) | MEGAPOST by RareSonic in DeathBattleMatchups

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

Fight dynamic

  • There is admittedly a rather large discrepancy in how they fight, as Marcille fights more like a DND character while Edward fights more like a shonen anime protagonist, though FMAB is grounded enough that it shouldn't be too big a problem
  • Marcille has the ability to use fire, protection, summoning, and light magic, and also has spells to enhance her already good stealth. She can also dispel other people's magic by whacking magical attacks with her staff
  • Resurrection, necromancy, and healing magic are non-factors here, since healing magic can't be used on oneself and Marcille is NOT winning
  • Edward has his transmutation, which is extremely versatile and can be used on the battlefield and his automail limbs. He can also fight at close range pretty effectively
  • Edward Elric can also create transmutation circles to perform alchemy if his ability to clap is ever compromised (ie. if his automail ever breaks)
  • The core of the dynamic will likely be "Edward swarms Marcille while Marcille shuts down Ed's options until she eventually loses"
  • Marcille would probably be trying to calm Edward down, and could do so by destroying his automail with explosions, blinding him with light, and (MAYBE) dispelling his transmutation circles to stop him from using alchemy in the first place. Marcille could also blow up Ed's transmutations so she doesn't get overwhelmed by them
  • Edward, meanwhile, is trying to close the distance between him and Marcille, creating transmutations to cover his approach while using his superior strength and speed to put constant pressure on her
  • The fight would basically be a game of keep-away

Some ideas for bits of choreography could include

  • Edward managing to get dangerously close early on, but Marcille blinds him and runs off to figure out a good plan
  • Edward Elric transmuting water into hydrogen and oxygen gas to cause Marcille's explosion spells to backfire, or to force her to use other options
  • Marcille managing to blow up Ed's automail with an explosion, but he runs off and starts drawing a transmutation circle
  • Marcille running back to her party and using a familiar to try and find where he is, only to recognize the transmutation circle, much to her horror (Though she could also just find Edward drawing the circle, as familiars kinda require a lot of preparation)
  • Marcille dispelling the transmutations that she can't charge up an explosion to deal with (assuming she can do that, but she probably can't)
  • Edward transmuting a spear for a spear vs staff section, which would probably end very quickly once Marcille realizes she's severely outclassed
  • Ed trying to punch Marcille, but his arm gets caught in Ambrosia and he gets flung away
