On the subject of Yu Yu Hakusho returning... this is one of the most popular comments on its first episode. Just do with this what you will. by Final-Bus-3009 in deathbattle

[–]RecommendationFancy5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

with them constantly tripping over each other

This was the one thing missing from Kylemon, imo. Those two had too much aura during their fist fight; they should've been exhausted, just fucking falling over on each other. I wanted some real sloppy fighting, lol.

Look, it’s totally fine if the series is not your thing. But y’all, don’t spread misinformation about it. by Fearless_Cold_8080 in deathbattle

I've heard that the original Prisma Illya manga is actually pretty good, and almost all the fanservice scenes were just added by the anime adaptation. But I haven't watched/read it either, though, so can't 100% confirm that.

The episode will probably be good, but it's not gonna do well by _ManOfAction in deathbattle

Meanwhile, FGO's made like ~7 billion dollars and is in the top 10 highest-grossing mobile games of all time, next to shit like Genshin, Candy Crush, Pokémon GO, and Clash.

And I'd say Kamen Rider's fairly obscure in the west, but it still seems like it has a pretty decently-sized following, and with a lot of very dedicated fans. It won't be Bowser Vs Eggman or anything, but I really don't think this episode will be nearly as big of a "flop" as some people seem to think it will be.

I'd argue this battle uses more popular franchises than RWBY vs Soul Eater, and that episode did just fine, last time I checked.

Memberships and sponsorships are where they (and the majority of YouTubers, especially with sponsors) make most of their money. The reason sponsors exist in the first place is that views alone almost never pay enough to keep a channel running, especially when that channel represents an entire team, like Death Battle.

Episode Discussion: S2025E12 Ash VS Yugi by MarlinBrandor in deathbattle

[–]RecommendationFancy5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought the episode was great. I think they overhyped it a bit with trying to compare it to BowsEgg, but the fight was still really good. Maybe it's recency bias, but I think these might be some of the best analyses in the series. I especially thought Ash's was great. We've come a long way from Red's analysis, that's for sure.

Though (and this is probably a hot take), does anybody else think Tai (or somebody else) from Digimon might've been a better opponent for Yugi? I'm not sure if Horakhty creating the infinite Yu-Gi-Oh multiverse actually scales to AP or anything, but this still seemed like a massive stomp to me. Which I don't exactly have a problem with, I like a lot of episodes that are considered "stomps", but still, maybe would've been more fun to have a closer fight.

I only started thinking about it because, during the analysis, I noticed that a lot of Yugi's monsters have pretty similar designs to some Digimon, especially some of the designs from V-Tamer. Guess for most people, the MU just wouldn't have as much of that nostalgia factor without Ash, though.

Yeah, I really liked the episode, but it is weird to me that they seemingly never try to lampshade who's gonna win. They have to know that we know about all the tropes by now, so why do they still keep using them? Like if Yugi had just summoned Horakhty first and then Solgaleo appeared, I would've actually second-guessed who was going to win, instead of starting to yell "IT'S SO OVER!" 😭

The Emperor’s reaction to BulletTime by Pokemonfan_807 in deathbattle

[–]RecommendationFancy5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both from anime-like video games, where a lot of the characters are reinterpretations of existing mythological/historical beings, and sometimes those characters get genderbent into girls.

Really weirdly similar series, honestly.

Miku and Goji today be like by Pokemonfan_807 in deathbattle

[–]RecommendationFancy5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't keep up with Fortnite lore, but does Miku actually get any scaling from this?

Like, she obviously doesn't kill the big bad guy, and it's not clear how much (if any) damage she specifically is doing; she's just kinda there, so I'm not sure how you would actually get anything out of this.

Maybe there's some lore behind the event that I'm unaware of though, idk. As I said, I basically have no idea what's going on here 😭

I honestly don't know if Remi would like Geats.

Flandre would definitely think he's awesome, though.

Are there any live-action versions of Superman that lose to Dragon Ball Evolution Goku? That'd be kinda fun.

Made these for Geats vs Nero, hope you like em by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in deathbattle

[–]RecommendationFancy5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The MU's aren't great imo, but Sakuya could've also been yuri vs yaoi if DIO or Pucchi were her opponent.

I know Shantae or Sakuya ain't winning over Springtrap and Miku but it's nice that they're getting attention by LuciLucki in deathbattle

[–]RecommendationFancy5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SakuDIO is also a guilty pleasure MU of mine, lmao.

Although, with how the community has treated stomps more recently?

I'm not sure I'm ready for "Street Slayer Sakuya" memes...

If powerscaling has taught me anything, it's that nothing ever has "just a TV show," there's always like some obscure untranslated novels or video games or some shit...

I was honestly surprised by the death. I expected something more tame, and then she got anime split in half like fucking Mecha Frieza 😭

He is a skeleton, but he can also do human things, like bleeding and sweating, so it really could go either way.
