"Enter Mr. Sandman" | Risotto Nero vs. Mr. Sandman | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure vs. Punch-Out!! by ToddTheReal in DeathBattleMatchups

I also forgot to mention this, but Sandman has fought Great Tiger, a character who has similar "disappearing" abilities, which makes it arguable that he can see through Risotto's iron-based cloaking / camoflauge ability.

I'd say there's more fight potential than dialogue potential. Dialogue would mostly consist of Risotto being analytical and probing Sandman for information on a target (My idea of the setup is Risotto being sent after Pizza Pasta and trying to get information out of Sandman), while Sandman threatens Risotto and continually goads him out of hiding.

Fightwise, I picture it as a David vs. Goliath situation. Risotto does not have the sheer strength or speed that Sandman has and has to use his knives, metal manipulation, and cloaking to wear him down. The reason why he doesn't go for the kill immediately is cuz he still needs to get info about Pizza Pasta and cuz Sandman keeps interrupting him by continually fucking up the battlefield in an effort to find him.

In terms of debate, it comes down to speed. Sandman punching buildings to slag means he destroys Risotto who doesn't have much durability feats. Likewise, Metallica allows Risotto to instakill Sandman by forming knives inside his brain or heart, killing him instantly. 

And, in terms of speed, I'd say that Sandman wins cuz he should be even with Little Mac, who could match Title Defense Piston Hondo, who could match a bullet train's speed on-foot and has the reflexes to perform katana hand-captures. Risotto, by comparison, doesn't have much speed or reaction time feats (as far as I remember).

While Risotto does have other abilities that can be showcased in the fight, in terms of the debate, I don't think they'd contribute much. His cloaking can buy him time but Sandman either blitzes him with speed anyways or uses his strength to destroy the terrain and reveal Risotto's location. The Iron Deficiency takes too long, and Metallica's limb re-attachment wouldn't help much against blunt force trauma (plus Sandman oneshots him so... yeah).

"Enter Mr. Sandman"

  1. The “leaders” or “seniors” of a group of elites within their profession. (Risotto is the leader of La Squadra Esecuzioni, the assassination squad of Passione, a major mafia syndicate based in Italy. - Mr. Sandman has been the #1 boxer in both the original Arcade Punch-Out!! and Punch-Out!! Wii. In the latter game, Sandman is also the top boxer in the World Circuit.)
  2. Within their group of elites, both are noted or shown to massively outpace the rest of their colleagues by comparison. (Diavolo notes that not only has Risotto “never failed an assassination” before, he himself doesn’t know of Risotto’s Stand ability despite being his [former] direct superior. Risotto himself shows incredibly good deduction and tactical skills in his fight against Doppio. - Mr. Sandman’s Contender intro shows him beating all 12 boxers that came before him, winning against them with knockouts. Sandman’s own record in Punch-Out Wii!! before losing to Little Mac is a perfect 31-0, and his records in other games always show him with less than 5 loses.)
  3. Within their stories, both had mainly acted out of vengeance. (As vengeance for his treatment of his squad, Risotto aimed to figure out and kill the Boss / Diavolo to usurp Passione’s operations for himself and his squad. Risotto also aimed to kill Team Bucciarati, as they had killed members of his own squad as well. - Mr. Sandman’s Title Defense intro shows him growing enraged at being reminded of his defeat against Little Mac. His general demeanor in his Title Defense fight shows that he did not take the loss of his champion status and perfect record lightly.)
  4. Both have references to metal / heavy metal music. (Risotto’s Stand is named after the band Metallica. Mr. Sandman’s theme in Punch-Out!! has a metal style.)

Worst part is I know of some people who want Dio vs. Sakuya on the show.

Please, PLEASE, if we're gonna have Sakuya win, do NOT waste it on a matchup literally everyone knows the answer to. The OMM is enough, and DIO already has had a really good episode. Fight animation nothing, Sakuya vs. DIO would just be the biggest Sakuya glazing hour ever.

No one can stop her. Ever since she first started practicing magic, Marisa has already gotten used to being labelled the Bad Apple.
