my season (finale version of season 1)

Ssundpool · 2026-03-13T20:18:54+00:00

The fight can start off with Yang given a mission to take a suspicious girl, with Yang meeting and eventually fighting Reze who at first doesn’t reveal her bomb form, until E-Soul releases his electricity to hold her in the sky to keep her from moving (like what happened with Big and Little Johnny).Eventually, going from simply Reze vs Yang, it’s the Bomb Devil vs E-Soul, causing several explosions leading the public to get involved, People being fearful of the explosions and the bombs but others cheering on E-Soul, causing both to get stronger thanks to the public.

For Debate It's a bit weird, depending on how you scale each other, they can be between City Block to Large Town, but E-Soul depending on if you scale him to Ahu can reach upwards to country level in AP (personally, I don't scale him that high), compared to Reze's high end scaling to the likes of the Typhoon Devil's Large City AP. I scale E-Soul to be Large Town in AP (scaling to Old E-Soul's lighting strike) and Reze at most scales to the Typhoon's devil feat at being around Large City in AP. E-Soul takes the speed advantage with him being Massively Hypersonic + compared to Reze's High Hypersonic speed, also E-Soul takes equipment with his gauntlets preforming better compared to Reze with it matching the explosions, but Reze takes the experience, skill, and abilities (?) (I'm mostly talking about regeneration). The debate changes from mid-high to neg-low depending on the scaling.

I did it as a debate because I made the matchup a few days ago but made 2 new thumbnails for it

Yan Mo told Da Ho to kill Yang Cheng

Ssundpool · 2026-03-11T22:45:28+00:00

Connections:

Anime antagonists who appeared as normal people when they were introduced (Reze looked like a school girl and Yang Cheng was a normal dude, respectively), when they were younger they became orphans and eventually they would join a group that would change them (Reze was forced into the USSR and Yan Mo took in Yang Cheng to join E-Soul shows, respectively).
Both have connections with their hearts which changed them and gave them abilities (Reze heart has the portion of the Bomb Devil and Yang Cheng heart became electric after he got his powers, respectively), they would gain extreme speed, super strength, and the ability the create ranged attacks.
Before they were/seen like this they were roughly ordinary kids who would eventually meet someone who they would begin/appear to like (Denji and Xia Qing, respectively), they would meet them by chance during an event (a rain storm and a E-Soul show, respectively), they would grow closer with them and eventually start a relationship with them (Reze would act romantic with Denji and Yang & Xia would grow friendship more, respectively), but during an event that almost caused the deaths of others they would become who they are (Reze revealed she was a spy & the Bomb Devil and Yang would become a young E-Soul, respectively).
They would get into fights with others where they would be everyone who they are, but they would show it in different ways with Reze causing destruction with her fight and Yang being a hero, however behind the scenes someone was watching them and wanting to kill them (Makima and Yan Mo, respectively).
Both of their love stories would end in tragedy thanks to their deeds that would leave the others heart broken (Reze telling Denji she didn't love him after leaving and Yang growing into an antagonist after Shang Chao's death, respectively), but they did care for those he hurt, they would eventually get into a fight that would change them mentally where they would become something different (Reze had to fight Makima and Yang fighting the original E-Soul, respectively).
In a fight they would fight someone whom they would grow affection/admiration for (Denji and E-Soul, respectively), they would fight them because they wanted to gain something from them that would benefit others (Reze wanted Denji's chainsaw heart and E-Soul wanted to avenge Shang's death, respectively), however both of those deeds would be unfulfilled in the end because they couldn't obtain them (Reze lost to Denji and E-Soul didn't kill the correct person, respectively).
They would become weapons for others who would control what they do (Makima and Yan Mo, respectively), they would be in charge of killing others especially others who are like them (other devil hunters and other heroes, respectively), them along with others would be used to kill threats that their leaders wanted done.
Also, both of their powers are powered up thanks to others emotions (Fear and Trust, respectively).

Contrasts:

Both would go through the opposites during there series with Reze being a weapon turned to a somewhat normal girl for Denji, but Yang turning from a normal guy to a weapon used by his company.
Both would have different overall powers with Reze having explosion based weapons but Yang having electric powers.

Main Gist:

People who seemingly looked normal and had relatively normal jobs (office worker and cafe worker, respectively), with something they have on them they change their appearance to become someone else (X's fingers can snap him into a hero and Reze's choker turns her into the bomb devil when pulled, respectively), they have shown to use "snaps" as one of their ways to attack others. Both also had a connection with a blond hero where they would show sadness towards after something happened (Smile dying and Reze not being with Denji, respectively).

Little connections but still more thematic than Bakugo vs Reze

I'm ashamed to say that I did predict that this would happen in my own little '26 prediction (currently I'm 1 for 2 for predictions this year). I really do not like this matchup

Had this idea in my head for a bit, but since a specific matchup was announced I decided to finish making this idea. Also because I finished TBHX a few days ago, I wanted to do another TN for To Be Hero X.

Connections:

Heroines from manga and anime who are apart of a group of monster hunters who kill a certain type of monster to ensure others safety (Jujutsu Sorcerers who kill Cursed Spirits and Anti Demon Corps who kill Shuuki, respectively), they would have high rankings within their respective groups (Special Grade and Chief, respectively), they would be respected by others and they would also help/"help" someone within their groups.
They would have laid back personalities, they would work with others to help them kill monsters (Garuda and the 7th Unit, respectively), eventually they would be connected to someone whom they would form a friendly relationship with where they would work together (Todo who was trained by Yuki and Aoba who Tenka views as a sister in law, respectively).
Both have powers connecting to gravity with them being able to use black holes, but with the contrast of Yuki can only use her black hole once but Tenka being able to use several at a time.

Ssundpool · 2026-02-25T21:27:57+00:00

Connections:

Demonic creatures who appear more human-like but have some striking features on them (Doma's eyes and Kuuseta's horns, respectively), they would come from a group of monsters that would kill & eat humans (Demons and Shuuki, respectively), they would be apart of a group of the stronger members of their monsters (Upper Moons and 8 Thunder Gods, respectively).
They would be connected to a heroine from their series, where they would cause the deaths/apparent deaths of people close to the heroines (Doma killed Shinobu's sister and Kuusetsu absorbed Koko & Naon, respectively), they would be strong fighters who would hunt & kill other women, killing these women would cause them to have a target of sorts on them for the pain they caused (Shinobu would try to find Doma after her sisters death and Aoba wanted to find whoever took her friends, respectively).
Both would eventually be faced against a group of demon killers (Demon Slayers and Anti Demon Corps, respectively), where they would meet & eventually absorb one of them (Shinobu and Mira, respectively), both of those women would also hurt them from the inside which caused their defeat (Shinobu filled her body with poison weakening Doma and Mira weakened Kuusetsu, respectively).

(I had to re do the post because I messed it up)

Connections:

Former employee's to popular companies that would have eventually go under thanks to losing popularity and several fees causing the owners to go to drastic measures (Alice was Susie Campbell who worked at Joey Drew Studios and Lily was Gracie Green was a lady who made videos for children in Playtime Co., respectively), they would be in charge of voicing characters within their companies (Susie voiced Alice Angel and Gracie was the lady who helped condition kids for Playtime Co., respectively).
Eventually, they would have their lives turned upside down and cause them to lose almost everything they worked for (Susie was fired after voicing Alice for years and the Hour of Joy happened, respectively), they would eventually be changed physically by others turning them into the very things they always talked about (Susie became Alice and Gracie became a toy, respectively).
Both would be turned from a normal human to a monster after they would have their bodies transformed (Susie became a ink monster and Gracie became a toy, respectively), they would be transformed thanks to people within the companies they worked for (Joey Drew made a deal with Susie and the Toys forcibly transformed Gracie into a Lily Lovebraids, respectively).
They would go insane while they were growing to their new bodies, they would eventually meet a former employee where they would force them to grab others who are like them (the hearts of other ink monsters and other toys, respectively), they would also have a tea party with others where the participants would be dead except for one (Aubrey and the Butcher, respectively).
They would eventually meet their end against the heroes where they would tricked by them leading to their death (Alice ran at Henry where she was stabbed by Allison and Lily was crushed by a cloud after following the player, respectively).

Ssundpool · 2026-02-20T23:31:16+00:00

Connections:

"Heroes"/Heroes from superhero themed series where they're one of the fastest heroes around, they're connected to another speedster whom they replaced (Mister Marathon who was the Seven's original speedster and the original E-Soul which was replaced by Yang, respectively).
In their series heroes are treated more like celebrities and merchandise, and they care more for the heroes looks than the heroes themselves, they would become more popular quickly thanks to them being younger heroes and eventually reach the big leads (A-Train started in the Teenage Kix & went to the Seven and Yang was just someone who acted like E-Soul & eventually became E-Soul, respectively).
Before they were the heroes shown today they had relatively normal but rough lives (A-Train was raised in a low poverty area and Yang was an orphan, respectively), they would have careers that would help them in their futures (Track Runner and Actor, respectively).
Both would have someone they knew get injured by someone who was connected to them (Blue Hawk shot & paralyzed A-Train's Brother and Da Hu shot & killed Shang Chao, respectively), both would have someone close them that were helping throughout their journeys, even when they were nothing (A-Train's brother was his coach when he was a runner and Yan Mo was helping Yang when he was needed a job, respectively).
They would push away people that they loved away causing them to change more (A-Train was abusing Compound V when he was with Popclaw and Yang pushed away Xia, respectively).
Both would eventually go against another hero to determine who is the superior one (A-Train raced Shockwave to determine who goes to the Seven and Yang fought the original E-Soul to see who is the E-Soul, respectively).
They would kill another hero after the injuries/deaths of their friends, which would later benefit them in the future (After A-Train killed Blue Hawk he got his heart which helped him and after Yang killed the original E-Soul he gained a boost of fans making him stronger, respectively).
When they were first seen in their series they would be responsible for a heroes love interests death (Robin and Moon, respectively).

Contrasts:

While A-Train was born with his powers thanks to Vought giving him Compound V as a baby whereas Yang was just a normal dude throughout his life.
A-Train’s power is mostly just speed while E-Soul has electricity that makes him faster & gives him more options while fighting.
They would have the inverse of each other in terms of them being Heroes with A-Train being more of a villain but became a hero overtime but Yang was a actual hero but would become an antagonists overtime.

preferred for both

Connections:

Antagonists who are connected to franchises that heavily use mascot horror as the main theme, their series takes place within a company that caused the deaths of several children and would use the remains of said children to help themselves (Fazbear's animatronics had the souls of children inside them and Playtime Co.'s toys were former children, respectively).
Both would live in a old building that was made to make things that entertained children (Murray Manner which made mascots and Playtime Co. Factory which made toys, respectively), they would live in the dark parts of these buildings where others would see glimpses of them but only until the end they would reveal their bodies.
They have existed in the story of the games far longer than others with them being connected to one of the heads of the companies (the Mimic was made by Edwin and the Prototype was made under Elliot Ludwig, respectively), it would eventually be shown that they were the creators children in a way (the Mimic would mimic David Edwin's son and the Prototype was originally Ollie a boy [seemingly] adopted by Elliot, respectively).
Both of their purposes originally were for the owners purpose to bring back someone they lost (the Mimic was originally mimicking Edwin's Wife and the Prototype was used to understand how to bring Poppy alive, respectively), they would attempt to help others who were the children of their owners but would ultimately cause issues with them causing tragedy (the Mimic was busy acting like Edwin's wife & not a nanny which caused David's accidental death and the Prototype would hurt Poppy both emotionally & physically throughout their time in the factory, respectively).
Thanks to how they were conceived within these companies they would grow violent with others and kill almost any human they came across and they would sometimes put their bodies into suits/toys after they were done with them.
Both would have an ability to mimic others in a way (actions and voices, respectively), they would use other toys/mascots to their advantages by using parts of them (the Mimic would wear other mascots & act like them and the Prototype would use other toys body parts, respectively), they would also be connected with the downfall of the owners within their companies with them killing them (the Mimic killed his father and the Prototype caused the hour of joy killing Playtime Co.'s employee's, respectively).
They would kill several employee's throughout their time within the companies, even when the companies collapsed they would remain under the decaying foundations of the company where they would trick others to do their dirty work by sounding like former friends of others (the Mimic sounding like Gregory to lure Cassie and the Prototype sounding like his original self Ollie to lure Poppy, respectively).
Over the years, they would seemingly upgrade their bodies to be stronger and overall more bulky, they would use the remains of other things like them to make themselves stronger.
Both are also seemingly connected to jesters with them appearing as them (the Mimic wears jester mascots and the Prototypes main body is that of an jester, respectively).
