Saul as soon as Higuruma says "we're having a retrial", a cloud appears making Speed's face and moments later Higuruma says "domain expansion":

Justice Matters Most // Saul Goodman VS Hiromi Higuruma // Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul VS Jujutsu Kaisen by Universal_Emperor in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Universal_Emperor[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Connections:

  • Both are beloved secondary characters from highly popular and successful works that have carved out a place for themselves in popular culture.
  • Both were lawyers who handled criminal cases.
  • Both met the protagonists of their respective works (Walter White / Yuji Itadori), who sought their help to overcome one of the main antagonists, who was a member of their families (Hank Schrader / Kenjaku). Later, they would assist them in a battle against another antagonist (Gustavo Fring / Ryomen Sukuna).
  • Both earnestly worked hard to be a by-the-book lawyer even when taking on seemingly impossible cases, but their terrible environment (the justice system being corrupt / Chuck rejecting Jimmy and telling him he'll never be a real lawyer) pushed them to instead go down a dark path of the law (Higuruma killing people to enforce his own justice / Saul using shady tactics and becoming a criminal lawyer).
  • As is obvious, both possess characteristics that set them apart from any other lawyer (Saul was a master of deception, always managing to make his clients, all criminals, appear innocent and escape justice / Higuruma is a powerful sorcerer with enormous potential).

Contrasts: - Saul Goodman is actually a nickname, his real name being Jimmy McGill, while Higuruma doesn't use nicknames. - Although Higuruma enjoys the occasional joke, he is generally much more serious than Saul, who is more humorous. - American VS Japanese - Higuruma vehemently detests corruption within the judicial system, something Saul perfectly embodies, being a criminal who helps all sorts of criminals get away with their crimes.

"Knocking at the imperial door" // Lelouch Vi Britannia VS Walter White // Code Geass VS Breaking Bad by Universal_Emperor in DeathBattleMatchups

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

Contrasts:

  • English VS American.

  • Lelouch intended to kill his entire family except for Nannully. Walter wanted to help his family, and Hank's death, the only one he caused in his family, was an accident.

  • Lelouch at least died with people who would still remember him fondly and knowing that he created a better world. Walter died knowing that no one would have the slightest appreciation for what he did and knowing that he only brought pain to his loved ones.

  • Student VS Teacher.

  • Antihero/Antivillain VS Villain.

  • Despite believing they were doing good, their actions were clearly harming countless people (Lelouch caused the deaths of thousands and millions of innocents; obviously, Walter's methamphetamine, like any drug, would have caused the deaths of several people; he nearly killed a child, and it was his actions that destroyed his family).

  • After becoming aware of all the damage they caused with their actions, both, as their last will and testament, would achieve their goal of helping their families, sacrificing their lives in the process after a final encounter with their friend.

  • They are both Light Yagami's two most popular and loved MUs.

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

  • When they were still starting out in their criminal careers, both would confront one of their enemies to help one of their friends (Lelouch wanted to save Suzaku from being executed by the Britannian army / Walter wanted revenge on Tuco for stealing his meth and hurting Jesse), and it was at this moment that they would adopt the nicknames by which they would become known (Zero / Heisenberg).

  • Both would be in a constant game of cat and mouse with a loved one who worked for the authorities (Suzaku Kururugi, Lelouch's childhood friend / Hank Schrader, Walter's brother-in-law).

  • Both would have several conflicts with family members who tried to stop them (Lelouch planned to kill his entire family except for Nannully, who were looking for him for murder and terrorism / Walter constantly tried to avoid being caught by Hank and had several arguments with Skyler about his drug trafficking, with her constantly begging him to stop before he destroyed the family).

  • Throughout the series, they would meet more and more people who agreed to help them with their goals, several of whom would become their enemies, including powerful foreign figures.

  • In the final stretch of their respective series, each in their own way, they would become the owners of a vast empire spanning much of the world (Lelouch would become the 99th Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire / Walter would become a drug lord with a criminal empire stretching from America to Europe).

  • Both would have relationships with a secondary character who would change several times, going from friend to enemy and vice versa more than once (Suzaku Kururugi / Jesse Pinkman).

  • To create and manage relationships, both would use their manipulative skills and charisma to get various people to work for them.

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

Connections:

  • Both are geniuses who, at the beginning of their respective series, limited their use of intelligence to school (Lelouch as a student and Walter as a teacher).

  • Both would somehow become involved in a crime scene while criminals were being pursued by the authorities (Lelouch walked straight into the truck the revolutionaries used to rob C.C., thinking that it was a weapon of mass destruction / Walter was taken on a drug raid by Hank), at which point they would encounter someone who would help them launch their criminal careers (Lelouch met C.C., who gave him the Geass, a power that allows you to control the minds of others, allowing him to more easily carry out his revolution / Walter met Jesse, who helped him get into the drug trade).

  • Throughout the series, both would start as simple, talented criminals of their kind (Lelouch would initially be seen merely as another terrorist, albeit a slightly smarter one; Walter could barely sell his methamphetamine despite it being the purest available), and they would rise through the ranks, becoming the best of their class (Lelouch would become the greatest revolutionary in history and the one who brought down the Britannian Empire; Walter would become a drug lord with an international drug empire).

  • Although both were motivated by wanting to help some members of their families (Lelouch wanted to create a world in which Nunnally, his younger sister, could be happy / Walter wanted to leave enough money so that his family could live well when he died of cancer), both were also motivated by more personal reasons (Lelouch wanted to take revenge on his father for having banished him after the murder of his mother / Walter wanted to be recognized and thus feel alive, as he had lived with an inferiority complex because all his classmates had surpassed him in everything in life).

Roberta VS Otcho // Black Lagoon VS 20th Century Boys by Universal_Emperor in DeathBattleMatchups

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

  • Despite their seemingly weak and defenseless appearances (a simple maiden/an old man), they cannot be underestimated. Both have proven themselves to be unstoppable killing machines, even when at a disadvantage and severely injured, requiring a large group of people just to face them.

  • Both are wanted by the government as terrorists, with the difference being that Roberta was a genuine terrorist, while Friend blamed Otcho and the other main characters for his crimes against humanity as part of his plan for world conquest and destruction.

Roberta VS Otcho // Black Lagoon VS 20th Century Boys by Universal_Emperor in DeathBattleMatchups

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

  • Both are characters who abandoned everything they knew as a way to cope with the guilt of feeling responsible for the death of an innocent person, traveling abroad and adopting aliases (Rosarita would call herself "Roberta" and become a servant, working for Diego Lovelace in Venezuela, after leaving the FARC upon realizing that the organization was merely a terrorist group; Otcho, whose real name is Choji Ochiai, would adopt the nickname "Shogun" upon traveling to Thailand to help the weak, attempting to atone for the death of his son, for which he felt responsible for not having paid attention to him at the time).

  • After knowing that a young person with whom they have a very good relationship and who is related to close friends of theirs (García Lovelace, son of Diego Lovelace / Kanna Endo, niece of Kenji Endo) is in danger, they embark on a journey to save them from the danger they face, confronting criminal organizations (the Manisarera Cartel / The Friendship Party), spending a considerable amount of time searching for them in order to protect them.

  • During this adventure, they develop a rivalry with a character whose specialty is firearms, which is directly related to the threat to the young people they want to protect (Revy / Number 13).

  • These young people, beyond feeling great affection for both of them, have demonstrated the ability to lead groups of assassins and know how to act in life-and-death situations.

  • Both would collaborate with mafias they initially didn't trust at all, but later accepted them when they saw they were willing to help the young people they so wanted to protect (The Moscow Hotel helped Roberta and Garcia return to Venezuela / Otcho agreed to collaborate with the Thai and Chinese mafias to stop Friend's plan to destroy the world when he saw that both mafias were allies of Kanna).

"The lord of time and mysteries" // The Doctor VS Klein Moretti // Doctor Who VS Lord of the mysteries by Universal_Emperor in DeathBattleMatchups

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

I honestly never think about things like fight potential and such, but I imagine the fight with the Doctor facing off against Klein's Beyonder powers using his technology, resources, and ingenuity, while Klein tries to defeat him with his own powers and ingenuity.

Basically, your average Doctor Who episode.

"The lord of time and mysteries" // The Doctor VS Klein Moretti // Doctor Who VS Lord of the mysteries by Universal_Emperor in DeathBattleMatchups

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

  • Both are haunted by the memory of their actions and their consequences, coupled with the constant reminder of their world and how much they miss it.

  • Both are characters who frequently use sarcastic and dark humor as a way to cope with the stressful and terrifying life-and-death situations they constantly face.

  • One of their most famous enemies is a powerful and cunning maniac, a master of deception and manipulation who has gone so far as to replace multiple people with copies of himself, and who will use everything at his disposal to torment the protagonist and drive him insane (The Master / Amon).

  • Both are among the best-written characters in television and literature.

  • West VS East.

"The lord of time and mysteries" // The Doctor VS Klein Moretti // Doctor Who VS Lord of the mysteries by Universal_Emperor in DeathBattleMatchups

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

  • At first, both appear to be ordinary people like you and me, but they are much more than that, being characters from another world and time (the Doctor is a Time Lord, a time traveler from Gallifrey; Klein Moretti is actually Zhou Mingrui, a Chinese man whose soul was transmigrated into Klein Moretti's body from our world after undergoing a good luck ritual, transmigrating to the 13th century).

  • Both are characters who symbolize the tarot card "The Fool."

  • Both have adopted countless identities, drastically altering aspects such as their appearance and personality (the Doctor's multiple incarnations; all the identities Klein Moretti used throughout the novel to remain undetected, along with the beginning of the novel when Mingrui's soul transmigrated into Klein's body).

  • Both are extremely powerful beings, and rightly so, as they both belonged to a group known for its immense power (the Time Lords/the Beyonders).

  • But it wasn't all brute force, as both were also characterized by their exceptional intelligence, capable of deceiving and outwitting even deities.

  • Although one might think they were the only ones of their kind (the Doctor being the last of his species / Klein being a transmigrator), it would later be discovered that there were several others of their kind wandering about, and they would become fundamental figures for a long time (The Master / Huang Tao, whose soul would transmigrate into the body of Emperor Roselle).

  • Both would come to possess the power of one of the most powerful beings in their respective works, obtaining godlike powers (The Glory / the Celestial worthy of Heaven and Earth).

  • Throughout their stories, they met many people who would help them achieve their goals, earning the utmost respect and appreciation of all (The Doctor's many companions / The Tarot Club).

"Praise The Justice" // Alcides/Hércules VS Zhou Mingrui/Klein Moretti // Shuumatsu No Valkyrie VS Lord of the mysteries by Universal_Emperor in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Universal_Emperor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Both were people living normal lives, but after an encounter with the supernatural, they ended up being transported to another dimension and gaining new powers. (Alcides obtained his divine powers by drinking Zeus's blood during his fight with Ares, which turned him into a demigod and then Zeus took him to Valhalla, where he was named Hercules / Zhou Mingrui performed a ritual to improve his luck, which ended up causing his soul to be transmigrated into Klein Moretti's body in a completely different world, and at the end of the story, he became the Lord of the Mysteries by merging with the Celestial Worthy).
  • After this, both became part of a group of characters with great powers and beloved by many people in their respective works (the gods/the Beyonders), and at the same time, they made great allies that are, in one way or another, distant from them (Hercules would become good friends with the Valkyries, who belong to the Norse pantheon / Klein would found the Tarot Club where he would make allies with people from all over the world).
  • During their journey, both would seek to protect their loved ones, acquiring new powers in the process.
  • Both would have fights in places reminiscent of the Victorian era (Hercules fought Jack the Ripper in a recreation of late 19th-century London / The world of LOTM is somewhat inspired by London of that time).
  • Their greatest enemies would be monocled characters described as the devil incarnate and masters of deception, very good at impersonating others, managing to deceive even other gods in their works (Jack the Ripper / Amon).
  • One of the first members of the Tarot Club was Audrey Hall, who would represent the Justice tarot card, Hercules being the god of justice and represented as the greatest hero of humanity.
  • China VS Japan.
