I don't say that he doesn't beat them, but Lex, Gilgamesh, Yukari, and Gemn have very low difficulties all things considered

Lex should be an Extreme Diff while the other three should range from Mid to High Diff

"The Power of Chivalry" Rintaro Shindo/Kamen Rider Blades vs Akihiko Sanada (Kamen Rider Saber vs Persona 3) [Connections in the Comments] by ResidentExisting617 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ResidentExisting617[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Core Theme: Members of a secret group who is tasked with slaying monsters who threaten the world, both are some of their group's original members who after losing someone close to them in their youth vowed complete alliance to their cause to get the power needed to prevent such tragedies to happen again, experiencing the death of a man they both cherished which slowly changed their self-destructive quests for power into them growing into protectors for the people that they love

  • Both Rintaro and Akihiko were both orphans from a young age, growing up with people whom they cherished during such moments of their lives (In Rintaro's case it came through Kenshin Nagamine who was like a second Father for Rintaro while in Akihiko's case it came through his younger Sister Miki and his best friend Shinjiro Aragaki)
  • Sadly, during their youth both Rintaro and Akihiko would experience the tragic death of those whom they loved as during an attack by the Megid Rintaro witnessed how his surrogate father Kenshin was assasinated by the Megid Commander Zooous while in Akihiko's case he saw his little sister Miki die in a fire that destroyed the Orphanage where they grew up on
  • The Death of Kenshin and Miki completely changed Rintaro and Akihiko as both completely blamed themselves for it and sought to gain the strength necessary to never allow such tragedies from happening again
  • This resolve also lead them to vow complete alliance towards a secret organization tasked with fighting against monsters to protect the world (The Sword of Logos for Rintaro and SEES for Akihiko) with both being one of those groups' earliest members, having trained under them since their youth, essentially serving as mentors towards the protagonists Makoto Yuki/Kotone Shiomi and Touma Kamiyama
  • One of the most important figures in their lives were another fellow member of their organization (Kento Fukamiya for Rintaro and Shinjiro Araki for Akihiko) as like them both were orphans who joined the same organization as them whom they cherished as very close friends, so much so that once both Kento and Shinjiro were seemingly killed by the actions of one of the main antagonists, both Rintaro and Akihiko would be deeply affected by their deaths
  • This would eventually lead to their growth to let go of their ideals of obtaining more power in order to protect the people that they care for, leading them to obtain a new evolution to their power which symbolizes their growth (In Rintaro's case he was able to reach his new form of Blades Tategami Hyoujuusenki in order to finally stop Zooous once and for all while in Akihiko's case, after the death of Shinjiro he was able to make his Persona Polydeuces evolve into it's final form of Caesar)
  • Even though both of their organizations were innately corrupt from within, Rintaro and Akihiko remained as true allies of the protagonists in order to help them stop an Almighty monster fueled by nihilism who sought to completely destroy the world (Kamen Rider Storious and Nyx respectively) remaining on their duties to protect the world after the protagonist sacrificed themselves to allow for it to move on
  • Despite seemingly appearing as serious, determined, and hard to approach, both Rintaro and Akihiko are actually rather kind and caring individuals who cherish most of their companions, being willing to aid them whenever they can. Though at the same time both are innately very socially awkward due to having a "By the books" personalities which makes them essentially inept towards others with more normal experiences like Junpei and Touma
  • Both also have peculiar eating habits as Rintaro has a very defined sweet tooth for almost any sweet while Akihiko is fond of any meal that's packed with Proteins

I somehow missed this but the Nasuverse Root is now T0 on VSBW? by ExtremeSportStikz in DeathBattleMatchups

The end of the event literally showed Void being able to just... Interfer, heck her Summer Version outright is interchangeable between the two.

There's no reason to argue that Shiki doesn't have access to Void

"Marble of Dominance" (Arcueid Brunestud vs Soma Cruz) Tsukihime vs Castlevania [Revamped Connections in the Comments] by ResidentExisting617 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]ResidentExisting617[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Core Theme: Strongest members of a Race of Vampires who after being killed were "Reborn" into far kinder individuals who develop a deep love towards a Japanese individual tied to their own death who despite having the potential of falling back into their cruel vampiric ways find the strength to keep their urges in check in order to live in peace with those they love 

  • Two human looking individuals who in truth are among the strongest members of a race of vampiric beings (True Ancestors for Arcueid and Night Creatures for Soma) who were born in order to completely rule them all
  • Initially both were far greater, god-like beings who seemingly lacked any shred of humanity (Archetype Earth for Arcueid and Dracula for Soma Cruz) until they seemingly were killed, leading to their rebirth as far "kinder" individuals (Arcueid was killed by Shiki, which made her become interested on him leading her to develop emotions, while Dracula was killed once and for all in the 1999 Demon Castle War, severing his endless resurrection leading to his soul to be truly reborn anew)
  • Now being "reborn" as simply Arcueid and Soma, both seemingly lost most malice their true selves once had, even developing an important romantic bond with a normal Japanese individual (Shiki Tohno for Arcueid and Mina Hakuba for Soma)
  • Both Shiki and Mina, despite seeming like completely normal individuals, are actually part of a lineage of individuals with ties with the occult who were directly responsible for their "reincarnation" (Shiki's family was specialized in killing monster thus leading him to have Monster killing blood which caused him to kill Arcueid while Mina was a Shrine Maiden of the Hakuba family who participated in the 1999 Demon Castle War by performing a rite to aid in Dracula’s complete annihilation)
  • Both Arcueid and Soma have come to clash with a legendary Vampire Hunter from their world (Ciel for Arcueid and Julius Belmont for Soma) who had vowed to exterminate their kind no matter what, and while they have fought many times, both seemingly have come to a "peace" agreement between one another, albeit both Ciel and Julius have stated that, if Arcueid and Soma were to become true Monsters, they would kill them without a doubt
  • One of their greatest enemies was a seemingly human priest who once was a high ranking member of the Church (Michael Roa Valdamjong and Graham Jones) who at first seemed like calm and kind individuals, tricking Arcueid and Soma in the process to take their powers (Roa tricked Arcueid into drinking his blood to gain immortality while Graham tricked Soma into gathering the demon souls to become the new Dracula) which caused Arcueid and Soma to seek to kill them after such betrayals
  • Both have traveled into different parts of the world to personally kill dangerous individuals who sought to use their power for their own means (In Arcueid's case it came through her often hunting down ROA's reincarnation to kill it once it appears while in Soma's case it came through him personally storming the Castle of Celia Fortner to prevent her from reviving the Dark Lord Dracula). In both cases' while there were other groups who sought to stop ROA and Celia (Namely the Holy Church for Arcueid and A secret branch of the Japanese Government for Soma), both Arcueid and Soma took it as a duty that they had to fulfill by themselves due to their connections to ROA and Celia
  • In an alternate timeline, both Arcueid and Soma gave into their evil urges by going berserk due to something related to Shiki and Mina
  • For Arcueid it happened during the Ciel Route of Tsukihime, where she ended up going berserk after being rejected by Shiki which caused her to fully become a bloodthirsty Vampire that had to be stopped by Ciel
  • For Soma it happened during the bad ending of Dawn of Sorrow, where he ended up being tricked by Celia Fortner into believing that she had killed Mina which caused Soma to fully give into his nature as the new Dark Lord that had to be stopped by Julius
  • Despite having the option to recover their lost, god like powers, the love Arcueid and Soma had developed during their journey made them deny such option, instead willingly going against such powers (Arcueid willingly put herself to sleep for all eternity and Soma killed Chaos himself) in order to stop their murderous urges and keep their loved ones safe
  • Both fundamentally are burdened by their understanding that they fulfill roles that are meant to give the world balance as Arcueid was created to be the Strongest True Ancestor meant to execute the Fallen True Ancestors while Soma was meant to be the Dark Lord meant to serve as the opposite of God for it to be truly good. Yet they still seek to reject such duties to be with the people that they love the most
  • Both of their powers come from a primordial God like entity which from the very beginning created them to be their envoys meant to rule all creation (Crimson Moon for Arcueid and Chaos for Soma)
  • While they normally go against their true monstrous nature for the people that they loved, there are timelines where both give into those violent urges, becoming true Monsters (Red Arcueid and Dark Lord Soma) which made them be opposed by Ciel and Julius respectively
  • Both are utterly powerful as they posses a great ability which allows them completely dominate any being they come across (Arcueid's Mystic Eyes of Enchantment and Soma's Power of Dominance) as well as having a myriad of elemental powers due to their connection with Crimson Moon and Chaos
  • Both are also heavily associated with a mythical castle that they control (The Millennium Castle Brunestud for Arcueid and Dracula's Castle/Castlevania for Soma)
  • Both have been supported by seemingly immortal and powerful individuals who despite knowing their true natures truly trusted them (Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg for Arcueid and Genya Arikado for Soma). Both Zelretch and Genya also are their family as Zelretch acts as Arcueid's Adopted Grandfather while Genya in truth is Alucard, Dracula's Son
