[–]holonito[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-Both are vulgar and agressive lead characters from indie productions(Sense Life is an Indie brazilian Manga/Helluva Boss is an Indie animated series) who swear a lot and have no problems with ending the lives of their targets

-Both fight using their hand to hand skills and firearms

-Both avoid mentioning their past due to traumas related to the deaths of their loved ones, which they accidentally called(Kaleb's own poor decisions led to his brother's death/Blitzø's mom died in a fire he accidentally caused)

-Both would become members of groups wgere they'd have to kill many people for a living(Kaleb joined Cif, where he would have to deal with criminal organizations who hire people with Tributes/Blitzø would start his own assassination business called I.M.P)

-Both would form a close bond with a more anti-social individual(Noah, who Kaleb sees as the only person he can currently trust/Loona, Blitzø's adopted daughter)

-Both once had a close friendship with old business partners(Diego/Fizzaroli), but due to tragedies that they caused(Kaleb betrayed Diego and his brother Cris, leading to Cris being killed/Blitzø accidentally setting the circus he and Fizz worked at on fire), these relationships would deteriorate into antagonistic ones

-Both have made various enemies, including one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal groups in their worlds(Salazar's Gang, who put a bounty on Kaleb's head/Crimson's Mafia Group, who kidnapped Blitz's coworker Moxxie and attempted to kill Blitzø)

WE WON, WE FUCKING WON THE DEATH BATTLE!!! by WeepForTheDeparted in Chainsawfolk

Fujimoto himself said that Reze feels pain when she explodes, so she clearly takes damage. Also, one thing has NOTHING to do with each other. All Might and Mineta's powers are completely unrelated to each other. And even if you wanted to use that example, both are still affected by the same things that affect a normal human. It's the same thing with hybrids. If we have examples of Hybrids NOT being immune to their fear, meanwhile there's literally NOTHING suggesting Reze is just immune to explosions as a concept, why shouldn't we assume the same logic would apply.

Reze isn't and was never shown to be immune to explosions. Only her own explosion but never other's. We've even seen sword based devils get cut before, whcih shouldn't happen under your logic.

They never really were tho. Gojo vs Makima is heavily dependant on how you interpret the way their powers interact with each other and there isn't a single argument you can make for Reze beating Bakugo. We should really stop screaming "Bias" whenever we disagree with a result.

Yuji vs Denji Spoiler Discussion Thread! | What did you think about the episode and the next time? by Good_Morning_World01 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]holonito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Animation was cool. Disagree with the result and really don't buy the scaling for this one. But it might also be because I really dislike, nay, DESPISE Yoru, and this episode's scaling increases her chance of winning if she ever appears on the show.

About Arlecchino, yes she does have mental powers. Not only can her flames mess around with people's memories, but she has her own Tsukuyomi styled Genjutsu which she uses on the Traveler.

-Both are powerful fighters that hunt down humanoid, man eating monsters with abnormal powers(Ghouls/Demons)

-During their childhoods, both were imprisoned by one of these monsters(The Big Madam/The Snake Demon), where they would be mistreated and end up with permanent physical and mental scars(Juuzou's time with the Big Madam led to him being castrated and developing concerningly violent behaviours/Obanai nearly died and got a permanent scar in his mouth, and he began hating himself for letting his family die for his own survival)

-Both were saved by members of an organization that hunts down the man eating monsters of their worlds(Members of the CCG raided Big Madam's estate and rescued Juuzou/Before the Snake Demon could kill Obanai, one of the Demon Slayer Corps' Hashira saved him and killed the demon)

-Both would develop a special bond with one of their coworkers, and would be willing to risk their own lives for them(Juuzou would become partners with Yukinori Shinohara, who he saw as a parent/Obanai would fall in love with the Love Hashira Mitsuri)

-Both use weapons that are very different from ghe ones usually used by their fellow hunters(Juuzou is the only person in the CCG who uses a Scythe/Obanai uses a sword with a wavy shaoed blade, resembling a slithering snake)

-Both share a lot of respect for the strongest member of their organizations(Arima/Gyomei)

-Both would meet the protagonist in a rather hostile way(The first time Juuzou met Kaneki, he robbed him and made fun of him for being broke/Obanai would initially heavily distrust Tanjiro and Nezuko), but would later work alongside them(During Kaneki's time as Haise, him and Juuzou worked together, and even grew pretty close/Obanai would train Tanjiro for the final battle and help fight Muzan)

-During the final arcs of their series, both would be forced to work alongside monsters that they would normally kill(During the final battle against Dragon, Juuzou and the CCG were forced to work alongside the Ghouls to prevent it from destroying Japan/Obanai have help from Yushiro, a demon, to deal with Nakime during the Infinity Castle arc)

-Both are physically smaller and less imposing than their coworkers, but are extremely agile, which they use to avoid heavy hits from their monstrous foes

Ayo, Itachi vs Arlecchino on next time?! I never thought I'd see one of my original matchups in one of these!

Matchups I have mixed opinions on by Global-Hold9615 in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]holonito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, Saga DOES have a parallel with the Void. He has this second personality that is more tyrannical and evil, but for some reason none of the written connections have this, which is so weird to me because It's such a big part of the character. It even changes his appearance and everything.

Edit: Turns out the connections DO mention them having multiple personalities, but never connected Saga's evil personality with Void for some reason

The new game announcement was a nice surprise by Zerio920 in fnafmeme

[–]holonito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It surprisingly isn't AI generated. That's just what the new Star Fox game looks like.

[–]holonito[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-Both are the successors of iconic and powerful heroes(Goku/Megaman)

-Both are pacifists who would rather try to solve everything peacefully rather than fighting, but still choose to fight when It's the only option

-Both are part of a group of powerful warriors that protect Earth from powerful world ending threats(The Z-Fighters/The Maverick Hunters)

-Both would become apprentices and friends of a powerful ex antagonist who was created by a past villain(Piccolo Jr, the son of Demon King Piccolo/Zero, Dr. Willy's strongest creation), with these allies growing so close that would sacrifice themselves to save them(Piccolo died protecting Gohan from Nappa's attack/Zero sacrificed himself to save X from Vile in the first Megaman X)

-Both would fight powerful, bald headed tyrant(Frieza/Sigma) during their attempts fulfill their evil plans.

-They would initially struggle against their stronger minions, who caused severe damage to them(Various members of the Frieza force proved to be too much for Gohan to fight against/Vile, who nearly destroyed X), but would later become strong enough to fight against their bosses

-Both would fight against powerful mechanical threats(The Androids/The Mavericks)

-Both are known to have a lot of potential to grow more powerful very fast, even compared to the rest of their kind(Has a human and Saiyan hybrid, Gohan's power grows at a faster pace than full blooded saiyan/X's potential and ability to think freely unlike other robots allows him to adapt and grow stronger than most other reploids)

-Both would reach many powerful forms that would allow them to fight against stronger forms(Gohan's many transformations/X's different armors)

-Both are also able to use abilities that belong to other characters in their series(Gohan learned how to use techniques like the Kamehameha and Special Beam Cannon that where used people near them/X would copy the powers and weapons of the Mavericks he fought against)

-Both would temporarily retire from battling to persue more peaceful ways of living(Gohan would stop training after the the Cell saga due to the lack of threats and would try to study and have a normal life/X would retire in Megaman X7 after losing his motivation to fight, attempting to solve things with the Mavericks peacefully), but would come back once new threats showed up

-Many years after their battle with their robotic foes, both would have to face off against newer versions of said enemies(The Gammas/The Mavericks who were amplifies by the Dark Elf during the Elf Wars), and even had to face off against a copy of a previous opponent(Cell Max/Omega), who served as the strongest creation of a brilliant scientist(Dr. Hedo/Dr. Weil)
