*HEY* Slight correction at 1:32. S9 actually had FIVE video game characters, not four. I assumed that Dragon Ball Heroes was another anime adaptation, but it started off as a Japan exclusive arcade game that got an anime adaptation.

Can I just say, I’m halfway through binge watching your entire Death Battle Retrospective and I am seriously invested! I haven’t watched Death Battle for years but just hearing your elaborate and very thorough analyses is really engaging. You gave the represented series the respect they deserve, even the ones you say you don’t like very much, and you did a fantastic job explaining the backstory and reception of each episode, and it made for a great watching experience even as someone who’s unfamiliar with many of these franchises. I was gonna save this comment for the final part but I’m genuinely enjoying myself so much that I couldn’t help but express it at the midway point!
Oh God those 2 pixels on binary form completely went over my head! A video on Sonic and the Black Knight wouldn't be a bad idea. HEY Y'ALL! SCOTT HEEEERE!!! Good vocal delivery on, "They forgot the FUNNIIII!" Also not a charge shot. Dude, I never noticed that animation on Shredder's eyes as he's crushing Harada's head, that is actually incredible!
28:07 for the death, I literally never registered that as Sub Zero activating an ice clone, I thought that was Glacius freezing Sub Zero to hinder his mobility, showing off some intellect on Glacius' end for understanding that Sub-Zero has dodged most of his attacks
That's an understandable interpretation and Glacius was definitely trying to do that, but at the same time, Subby turning blue is how he activates an ice clone, and iirc it's the same sound effect as that move. It's still poorly conveyed, so I guess it's not right to blame others for thinking that way.

51:50 During the I am Done Scene, I was always interpreting it as TJ Combo being finally fed up with Balrog and stops holding back. As you mentioned earlier, TJ Combo actually does want to redeem himself which would also involve not breaking the rules/cheating. Aka. killing. For the most of the fight, TJ Combo just held back, referencing some of Balrog’s moments where he no sold his punches. Him only beginning to use his fighting game techniques only after all hell is lose can be interpreted him trying not to dive again into the era which he is shameful of. So when Balrog nearly kills him, only THEN he enters his Killer Instinct and mops the floor with Balrog (which can be connected to the fact that TJ is both stronger and faster in the analysis).
I live in a timeline where someone unironically gave the funny bear vs dog episode a higher score than (without counting Voltron) all the anime episodes. Based.
Lol, the day they use Elsa on the show really will be a cold day in Hell. As for the ice clones, those were actually after images of Glacius running up to get famed Sub Zero Mortal Kombat's autograph to show off to all his alien friends, but he was too shy to assertively ask for one and kept backing away. That's why at the end he was trying to absorb Sub Zero's essence in a hope to be as cool as him, therefore being brave enough to ask for his autograph. It did not work.
Ah yeah, I get dem funni Bragging Rights! But yeah, this is what I call the transitional "Filler Season" of Death Battle. Outside of Power Rangers vs Voltron, Balrog vs TJ Combo, Shredder vs Silver Samurai, Naruto vs Ichigo, Sephiroth vs Vergil, and Scrooge McDuck vs Shovel Knight (imo), the majority of this season doesn't really stick out to me that much. It's just... there. But hey, we got those 6 episodes and the addition of Therewolf Media onto the show, so that's _something_ , I guess. EDIT: Okay, that ad break joke got a good laugh out of me.
Sub-Zero vs Ryu only makes sense when you consider it next to Scorpion vs Ken. And yeah, it's still a fighting game rivalry there, but now you look at it as a "fighting game *character archetype*" matchup. Ryu and Ken are your starter characters in a Street Fighter game. They don't excell anywhere usually, but they're a jack of all trades meant to teach you the fundamentals of the game. Scorpion and Sub-Zero to a similar extent fulfill this role in Mortal Kombat. (Less so in MK12 now but that's not quite relevant at the time of this season) Ryu, Ken, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero (also Terry and probably a few other fighting game characters) all fall into the category of a "shoto". Story wise, Ryu vs Scorpion makes sense because it's two guys with a similar goal but taking different paths. Scorpion was all about revenge and vengeance and taking it out directly. Ryu wanted payback against Akuma and Bison but ultimately solved that with peace within himself. Scorpion eventually does too but that's, again, after the matchup. This is less important with a Ryu vs Sub-Zero match considering there's like 3 Sub-Zeros and none of them story wise really match to Ryu, especially at the period of time this season was happening. (Again, MK12 adds to this matchup) Edit: On Lucario vs Renamon, yes, there is evidence to Digimon evolving on their own. This is due to the entire nature of the Digital World being survival of the fittest. Consume more data to get stronger and reach a higher form. Natural Digivolution in this state is /usually/ permanent, and a Digimon will only devolve if close to death or some other grievous wound. Digivolution via a partner is somewhat more powerful because of the bond, but also means it lasts way less time due to the nature of the evolution being artificially triggered instead of a natural growth. Mega Pokemon in the wild is just.. eh? I guess in Pokemon universe it *could* happen, but you'd just end up with a berserker Pokemon liable to self destruct under the energy. Smash in this case is really not a viable source. Mewtwo did it, in a movie, and before we even knew it was Mega Evolution, and so should be discounted. Ergo, this logic for Lucario doesn't really track.
Digimon in the tamers era have shown the ability to Digivolve without a partner, it became harder to do so after Culumon was personified into a Digimon of his own. Culumon is the force that drives digivolution itself turned into a Digimon.
Mugetsu was animated before, its what he uses to beat aizen. what ben was mentioning was Ichigos true Shikai and true Bankai, which were only in the manga as the anime was no longer in production. So this was one of the first times this form would be animated, only seen offically later in Jump Force and then the current anime continuation
It’s weird. I some how like Metal Sonic VS Zero than a good amount of episodes in Season 4. I honestly don’t know why. The Sound design doesn’t really bother me since it gives off a retro vibe to me, the 3D Close ups aren’t that bad since I do like how some of them are animated, and overall, it’s a fun episode to me. Probably my biggest hot take of all Death Battle, but I think it’s good. I would take it over than Smokey VS McGruff, Lucario VS Renamon, Lara VS Nathan, and ESPECIALLY Venom VS Bane. But then again Opinions are Opinions. I just wanted to get this out of the way because I usually hear it’s a bad episode. And while I understand why people believe it, it’s the fact I hear the constant issues over and over and it just got old to me. But I do appreciate Jonathan going actually in depth with the episode and talk about it’s entirety.
I completely agree with everything you said about Metal Sonic vs. Zero. It's especially painful for me, though, cause that was my absolute MOST wanted matchup when it came out. So, seeing it turn out so... Metal Sonic vs. Zero made me drop the show for a few months back when it dropped. Your death battle videos have been really entertaining so far, I'm looking forward to watching the rest. I love the editing, especially the cards for the episodes and how cool the text looks. I'm definitely going to check out some of your other videos!
15:14 That "DEE, DEE, DEE, DEE," got me good XD Definitely play Shovel Knight if you can, it's fantastic, and the blue knight himself is chivalry incarnate!
5 months too late but I do have quite a few mecha recommendations that are worth your time: • Shin Getter Robo Armageddon (or the Getter Robo Saga manga in general, If you liked Gurren Lagann, Getter Robo is pretty much THE main inspiration for the show) • Armored Trooper VOTOMS • Space Runaway Ideon • Terrestrial Corps. Dai-Guard • Mobile Fighter G Gundam • The King of Braves GaoGaiGar (CHECK THIS ONE FIRST) • Giant Gorg (Iron Giant the anime) • Aim for the Top Gunbuster! • Mobile Police Patlabor the Animation • MADOX-1 • Full Metal Panic!
@@JonathanFrostathan Unfortunately, most of these you have to access through certain websites. Mecha shows have a track record of not being listed on streaming services due to them being more of a niche genre compared to shonens and isekais these days. Last time I checked tho Madox-01 and Giant Gorg are available in Retro Crush tho.
1:17:42 so basically the whole thing is that first of all it felt like kind of a scapegoat that they used it. Firstly because when he uses that form which he only uses once for the obvious reason that it takes away all of his powers is against a completely immortal being. secondly the form that he had before using mugetsu is stronger than mugetsu That's what the whole controversy is and I agree that it was stupid.
My biggest problem with Lara croft vs Nathan Drake is the comparison between lara's arrow wound and Nate's Gunshot wound. The episode tries to act as if the wounds are similar when theyre done under vastly different circumstances. First of all, A gun shot and Arrow wound are different kinds of wounds. Secondly, Lara was able to cauterize her wound, stopping the bleeding while Nate was bleeding the whole time. Also Nate was in the cold, climbing a train that was falling off a cliff, and im pretty sure got into a gunfight afterwards WHILE STILL BLEEDING.
I think it's more of endurance than tolerance. Nathan got shot, which was left untreated when he was traveling in the Arctic. He passed out and was later saved. This was all in two days. Lara fell on rebar, pulled it out, and cauterized it and continued her mission for 2 weeks which was also not treated well. Lara's endurance was better than Nathan's
12:02. Bleep. Small correction heavier objects don't fall faster, once objects hit a point they all fall at the same speed unless their surface wide enough and light enough. Great video by the way. 😊 i like your little episode reviews in each section and the number score. 30/100 Nemisis Bloodryche's phrasing is that cool!
35:52 I just wanted to clarify, zero's virus was never removed when dr. cain analyzed him, sigma's punch to the head simply damaged his memory. (also I love your videos, you bring up a lot of points that I would never have thought about otherwise.)
@JonathanFrostathan aight just finished the video and I can say ye it's pretty good, the editing is good (tho not as good as the "edgy" analysis vid), you made your thoughts and criticisms clear and there were some good jokes HOWEVER venom vs bane wasn't high enough so hmmmm yeah idk
I so wanna like Scrooge vs Shovel Knight so much more, I grew up on the original Ducktales and Shovel Knight is one of my favorite series, but yeah it's just... rough, and only gets more rough with rewatches. I still hate just how they called SK dumb, because, like, he's not lmao.
As much as I like some of the episodes, watching these videos have made me realize that season 4 is definitely worse than season 3. Probably because these videos actually go through the episodes when they came out
1:17:41 As someone who has watched Bleach, I'll help explain "Mugestu" Ichigo. "Mugestu" or "Final Getsuga Tenshou" is a form Ichigo has only used ONCE because for one simple reason: Ichigo LOSES his powers after he uses it. In the series, after using Mugestu, Ichigo lost his powers a few months later and had no way to get them back (until the end of the series but y'know!). So seeing him use this form (kind of at random, in my opinion) is super weird despite how cool it is. For me, it is cool, but it should've been saved for a better moment. Perhaps when both characters have no other options so they unleash attacks at the same time. But that's basically Mugestu in a nutshell.
Come on all you braggers. Join me with the bragging rights of watching the previous seasons videos. Also this season is both forgettable and unforgettable to me personally. I can't remember half the fights but with episodes like TJ vs Balrog, Shredder vs Samurai and my 5th favorite of all time episode Ranger vs Voltron (why wasn't it just Megazord vs Voltron) I can't say I hate this season
I call this season a diamond in the cave that is filled with bad or meh matches to HOLY IRON MAN KICKING BATMAN TO THE CURB IN SEASON 8 WHY ARE THESE SO SICK AS HELL!??!
As the number one Metal Sonic VS Zero fan on the planet, all the shit you have the episode hurt me mentally, spiritually, emotionally and somehow physically, how do you even do that
@@Kingbeat1 don't think that it was necessarily because his MK3 design isn't very well-liked. I think that it's simply because Bi-Han's MK3 design closely resembles Kuai Liang's MK2 design and Kuai Liang's MK2 design is more iconic and recognisable than his MK3 design and can be better used to convey Kuai in his entirety as a character, whereas Kuai's MK3 design depicts him in a very specifoc part of his life. And an MK3 sprite was chosen over an MK2 sprite possibly because of the bigger moveset and better graphical detail and fidelity.
Okay, coming to the rescue for Lucario VS Renamon, here we go. Don’t worry, this will be quick. 46:59 - I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to be Dragon Pulse. Notice it’s coming from its mouth, not its hands. 47:13 - I was always under the idea that Lucario’s self healing came into play when it was getting hit by Diamond Storm, hence the glowing aura when it powers through the attack.
Bragging rights an fun fact it not only my sister's birthday and Sonics birthday and Madvocate review of season 4 flash review came out man today is a good day
Achieving these bragging rights is the greatest feat I will ever achieve, Because of them, I am now multiversal+ and can now beat goku….. That’s how bragging rights work right?
Nah nah, you gotta watch every video on my channel to be multi+. As of right now, you are planet level for how much you have gathered. That said, Goku has died to a planet blowing up in his face, so you should still beat him no problem.
narutos moveset is really limited. his entire moveset throughout the whole anime is just clones and rasenshurikens. which is why his attacks feel so repetitive in that deathbattle
I hate to be "that guy" but no Dr. Cain didn't remove the virus from zero what actually happened was that during their fight, sigma punched zero's forehead gem, shattering it and basically giving zero a factory reset, leaving him with no memory of the fight or his actions after waking up having a new personality, and the thing is zero never lost the virus, according to the wiki he was still infected and basically just became an a-symptomatic carrier, which is why he decided to be sealed away before the zero series so he wouldn't continue to spread the virus
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Johnny Yong Bosch reprised his role as Ichigo in Naruto vs Ichigo (albeit going under the alais of Adam Park… the character he played in power rangers)
As a SUPER Shovel Knight fan, I loved seeing SK in Death Battle, but the episode could've been done better. To answer a few things you were wondering, the guy who uses hats as a power was a based reference, Mr. Hat is a fun salesman character who obsesses with hats, to fill his collection and see what power they'd give him. Second, yeah, the whole SK being dumb was dumb, it was fair to assume that she died, she didn't but I won't spoil anything, but based on the story, it's very reasonable to assume at first she was dead. And third, yeah, SK was characterized weirdly, SK is all about being an honorable warrior and hero, so him stealing treasure from someone and fighting them like that is not like him, and no, he doesn't get hired by anyone, he's kind of his own adventurer with Shield Knight. I'd like to see him brought back and done better next time, as he's also gotten two new games with new feats, relics, and more, and other characters have gotten their own campaigns too, giving him comparable stats. Great video btw
@@MidnightPhantom yeah, Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon and Shovel Knight Dig. Pocket Dungeon is a puzzle rougelite with many modes, characters and challenges, while Dig is a 2D platformer rougelite that has you going downwards digging.
@@MidnightPhantom He can drop from super high distances without getting hurt, can dig miles underground without taking a break, was smart enough to figure out a puzzle that took a knight who's thing is puzzles couldn't figure out for years. He also has new relics and accessories, like the a rod that can freeze enemies solid temporarily, a locket that can turn him into a spirit for a few seconds to go through walls, rings that can make him immune to fire, electric, ice, explosion and wind attacks for one hit before it needs a 5 second cool down, can throw his Shovel like a boomerang, do a super Shovel drop that makes him go down faster and catch his Shovel on fire, and so many more I could type for 10 minutes.
Imma be real, I dont really like Sephiroth vs Vergil and, dare I say, needs a rematch due to more info on Vergil due to DMC5. Speaking of which Nero in Death Battle when?
Don’t really have much to say about the season funny enough. I am glad I am not the only one who likes the Venom vs Bane match up… too bad the episode wasn’t that good. Zero vs Metal Sonic in the other hand is a match up I never really was a fan of. I mean, if it was a sequel episode to Wily vs Eggman, then I think that would be cool but it really wasn’t and the episode ended up being crap anyways so I don’t even see the point of the episode in the first place. Meta Knight vs Zero when indeed. (Meta Knight vs Zero is my most wanted match up ever since Season 1)
Decided to try to watch another one of your earlier episodes in this series for bragging rights, and I must say, 1:03:15 does this line still hole true? I love this episode l, but I know a lot can change in opinion, so I wanted to know if you still stand by that statement?
Bragging Rights! Great video Jonathan although I need to get this out of my chest but do you respect opinions even you don't like the episodes? Not saying that I'm being a jerk about it just saying pls don't sue me lol.
Naruto vs ichago was my favorite episode for a while on this show but it might be taken over by might guy v all might . as for this season i highly disagree with the claim that its the weakest ( i think 1, 3 and 7 ) is worse but its your unique opinion there .
The vg characters I was referring to were Jinx, Excalibur, Raiden, and Lich King (a vg version of a novel character). Now that I'm looking it up, DB Heroes was technically an arcade game first, so that would actually mean five. I don't count Silver because he's a comic book version of a video game character.
It's nothing too deep. I just don't vibe with the gameplay and the animations make it less appealing to me. I also think that the fatalities have been actively hindering the narrative and are obnoxiously excessive for no reason, but that's also a personal thing.
I never really knew Death Battle had seasons 😂😂 Could someone summarise this for me? I see their channel more as an analysis battle that provides sufficient enough research to backup their claims. I don't really care about the battle that much aside from the animation.
Here is a summary: Season 1 Boba Fett vs Samus Aran 1 - Goku vs Superman 1 25 episodes Death Battle T-shirt vs the World is an unlisted bonus joke episode. Season 2 He-Man vs Lion-O - Pokemon vs Digimon 32 episodes Vegeta vs Mewtwo is an unlisted joke/collab/following of a trend episode. Season 3 Dante vs Bayonetta - Deadpool vs Pinkie Pie 14 episodes Season 4 Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake - Sephiroth vs Vergil 16 episodes Season 5 Batman vs Black Panther - Thanos vs Darkseid 16 episodes Season 6 Aquaman vs Namor - All Might vs Might Guy 16 episodes Season 7 Miles Morales vs Static - Hulk vs Broly 20 episodes The Seven Battle Royale is an unlisted sponsored bonus episode. Season 8 Yoda vs King Mickey - Saitama vs Popeye 16 episodes Season 9 Harley Quinn vs Jinx - Gogeta vs Vegito 16 episodes Excalibur vs Raiden is an unlisted sponsored bonus episode. Season 10 Ant-Man vs Atom and everything after it until the end of the year.

Apparently Venom VS Bane was done in a single night.
*smacks lips* Yep. Can believe.
Sub-Zero vs Ryu only makes sense when you consider it next to Scorpion vs Ken.
And yeah, it's still a fighting game rivalry there, but now you look at it as a "fighting game *character archetype*" matchup.
Ryu and Ken are your starter characters in a Street Fighter game. They don't excell anywhere usually, but they're a jack of all trades meant to teach you the fundamentals of the game. Scorpion and Sub-Zero to a similar extent fulfill this role in Mortal Kombat. (Less so in MK12 now but that's not quite relevant at the time of this season)
Ryu, Ken, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero (also Terry and probably a few other fighting game characters) all fall into the category of a "shoto".
Story wise, Ryu vs Scorpion makes sense because it's two guys with a similar goal but taking different paths. Scorpion was all about revenge and vengeance and taking it out directly. Ryu wanted payback against Akuma and Bison but ultimately solved that with peace within himself. Scorpion eventually does too but that's, again, after the matchup. This is less important with a Ryu vs Sub-Zero match considering there's like 3 Sub-Zeros and none of them story wise really match to Ryu, especially at the period of time this season was happening. (Again, MK12 adds to this matchup)
Edit: On Lucario vs Renamon, yes, there is evidence to Digimon evolving on their own. This is due to the entire nature of the Digital World being survival of the fittest. Consume more data to get stronger and reach a higher form. Natural Digivolution in this state is /usually/ permanent, and a Digimon will only devolve if close to death or some other grievous wound. Digivolution via a partner is somewhat more powerful because of the bond, but also means it lasts way less time due to the nature of the evolution being artificially triggered instead of a natural growth.
Mega Pokemon in the wild is just.. eh? I guess in Pokemon universe it *could* happen, but you'd just end up with a berserker Pokemon liable to self destruct under the energy. Smash in this case is really not a viable source. Mewtwo did it, in a movie, and before we even knew it was Mega Evolution, and so should be discounted. Ergo, this logic for Lucario doesn't really track.
Digimon in the tamers era have shown the ability to Digivolve without a partner, it became harder to do so after Culumon was personified into a Digimon of his own. Culumon is the force that drives digivolution itself turned into a Digimon.
It’s always exciting to see your ranking!
Mugetsu was animated before, its what he uses to beat aizen. what ben was mentioning was Ichigos true Shikai and true Bankai, which were only in the manga as the anime was no longer in production. So this was one of the first times this form would be animated, only seen offically later in Jump Force and then the current anime continuation
It’s weird. I some how like Metal Sonic VS Zero than a good amount of episodes in Season 4. I honestly don’t know why. The Sound design doesn’t really bother me since it gives off a retro vibe to me, the 3D Close ups aren’t that bad since I do like how some of them are animated, and overall, it’s a fun episode to me. Probably my biggest hot take of all Death Battle, but I think it’s good. I would take it over than Smokey VS McGruff, Lucario VS Renamon, Lara VS Nathan, and ESPECIALLY Venom VS Bane.
But then again Opinions are Opinions. I just wanted to get this out of the way because I usually hear it’s a bad episode. And while I understand why people believe it, it’s the fact I hear the constant issues over and over and it just got old to me. But I do appreciate Jonathan going actually in depth with the episode and talk about it’s entirety.
I completely agree with everything you said about Metal Sonic vs. Zero. It's especially painful for me, though, cause that was my absolute MOST wanted matchup when it came out. So, seeing it turn out so... Metal Sonic vs. Zero made me drop the show for a few months back when it dropped.
Your death battle videos have been really entertaining so far, I'm looking forward to watching the rest. I love the editing, especially the cards for the episodes and how cool the text looks. I'm definitely going to check out some of your other videos!
15:14 That "DEE, DEE, DEE, DEE," got me good XD
Definitely play Shovel Knight if you can, it's fantastic, and the blue knight himself is chivalry incarnate!
Yes
Make a video about Sonic's music.
I do agree with the Shovel Knight things and the respect people comment,but I need to come back to review these
And man, you ripped zero vs metal in a new one.
1:20:10
-Please don't wipe me from existence-
DANG IT I NEVER FINISHED THE SEASON 3 VIDEO, I LOST MY BRAGGING RIGHTS™️
GO GET THEM BACK YOU HAVE TIME!!!!
5 months too late but I do have quite a few mecha recommendations that are worth your time:
• Shin Getter Robo Armageddon (or the Getter Robo Saga manga in general, If you liked Gurren Lagann, Getter Robo is pretty much THE main inspiration for the show)
• Armored Trooper VOTOMS
• Space Runaway Ideon
• Terrestrial Corps. Dai-Guard
• Mobile Fighter G Gundam
• The King of Braves GaoGaiGar (CHECK THIS ONE FIRST)
• Giant Gorg (Iron Giant the anime)
• Aim for the Top Gunbuster!
• Mobile Police Patlabor the Animation
• MADOX-1
• Full Metal Panic!
Thanks so much! I'll be sure to check these out. Are these on streaming services or do I have to go to certain websites?
@@JonathanFrostathan Unfortunately, most of these you have to access through certain websites. Mecha shows have a track record of not being listed on streaming services due to them being more of a niche genre compared to shonens and isekais these days. Last time I checked tho Madox-01 and Giant Gorg are available in Retro Crush tho.
also Macross, check out Macross... The whole franchise. It's great!
1:17:42 so basically the whole thing is that first of all it felt like kind of a scapegoat that they used it. Firstly because when he uses that form which he only uses once for the obvious reason that it takes away all of his powers is against a completely immortal being. secondly the form that he had before using mugetsu is stronger than mugetsu That's what the whole controversy is and I agree that it was stupid.
I support the Sonic music video idea.
In other words,
oh, yes!
52:33 is actually a reference to the wii version of punch out when you either defeat your opponent or get defeated
As a Bleach fan, a 5/10 is exactly what I would give Naruto vs Ichigo, you are in the clear.
My biggest problem with Lara croft vs Nathan Drake is the comparison between lara's arrow wound and Nate's Gunshot wound. The episode tries to act as if the wounds are similar when theyre done under vastly different circumstances. First of all, A gun shot and Arrow wound are different kinds of wounds. Secondly, Lara was able to cauterize her wound, stopping the bleeding while Nate was bleeding the whole time. Also Nate was in the cold, climbing a train that was falling off a cliff, and im pretty sure got into a gunfight afterwards WHILE STILL BLEEDING.
I think it's more of endurance than tolerance. Nathan got shot, which was left untreated when he was traveling in the Arctic. He passed out and was later saved. This was all in two days. Lara fell on rebar, pulled it out, and cauterized it and continued her mission for 2 weeks which was also not treated well. Lara's endurance was better than Nathan's
@@juwanwilson7700it’s still wildly different scenarios and different kinds of injuries.
49:56 LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD I FEEL ON FIRE WHEN MY PASSION FL-
So you're tellin me Jolyne AND Anasui's dub VA's were in death battle before Stone Ocean 💀
That's right!
Weather Report, too.
@@JonathanFrostathanwhat
Where’s my bragging rights, Jonathan???
Check your mailbox! I promise that there is no pipe bomb! ;)
3:27 Here. Boomsticks is saying she's so out of his League, that he's planning the divorce before they even get to dating
BROOOOOOOOOOOOOO
12:02.
Bleep. Small correction heavier objects don't fall faster, once objects hit a point they all fall at the same speed unless their surface wide enough and light enough.
Great video by the way. 😊 i like your little episode reviews in each section and the number score.
30/100 Nemisis Bloodryche's phrasing is that cool!
The 100th point for Balrog vs TJ Combo'a score got stuck clipping behind a wall.
35:52
I just wanted to clarify, zero's virus was never removed when dr. cain analyzed him, sigma's punch to the head simply damaged his memory.
(also I love your videos, you bring up a lot of points that I would never have thought about otherwise.)
Aight I can't wait to see the masterpiece of venom vs bane to be at the top of the list (I'll give my thoughts on the vid once I finish it)
VENOM VS BANE SWEEEEEEEEEEP
@JonathanFrostathan aight just finished the video and I can say ye it's pretty good, the editing is good (tho not as good as the "edgy" analysis vid), you made your thoughts and criticisms clear and there were some good jokes HOWEVER venom vs bane wasn't high enough so hmmmm yeah idk
I so wanna like Scrooge vs Shovel Knight so much more, I grew up on the original Ducktales and Shovel Knight is one of my favorite series, but yeah it's just... rough, and only gets more rough with rewatches. I still hate just how they called SK dumb, because, like, he's not lmao.
If Shovel Knight were to return, who would you want him to fight
As much as I like some of the episodes, watching these videos have made me realize that season 4 is definitely worse than season 3. Probably because these videos actually go through the episodes when they came out
1:17:41
As someone who has watched Bleach, I'll help explain "Mugestu" Ichigo.
"Mugestu" or "Final Getsuga Tenshou" is a form Ichigo has only used ONCE because for one simple reason: Ichigo LOSES his powers after he uses it. In the series, after using Mugestu, Ichigo lost his powers a few months later and had no way to get them back (until the end of the series but y'know!).
So seeing him use this form (kind of at random, in my opinion) is super weird despite how cool it is.
For me, it is cool, but it should've been saved for a better moment. Perhaps when both characters have no other options so they unleash attacks at the same time.
But that's basically Mugestu in a nutshell.
Thats only in the anime so they could do a filler arc before the fullbring arc, in the manga he loses them pretty much immediately
@@pennma1093 ahhh, gotcha!
Come on all you braggers. Join me with the bragging rights of watching the previous seasons videos.
Also this season is both forgettable and unforgettable to me personally.
I can't remember half the fights but with episodes like TJ vs Balrog, Shredder vs Samurai and my 5th favorite of all time episode Ranger vs Voltron (why wasn't it just Megazord vs Voltron)
I can't say I hate this season
LETS GO, BRAGGING RIGHTS™️!
I’m with you on Season 4. A lot of the death battles felt like filler and were putting me to sleep
Metal sonic vs zero used to be one of my favorite episodes when the it came out but my god that changes now a days
I call this season a diamond in the cave that is filled with bad or meh matches to HOLY IRON MAN KICKING BATMAN TO THE CURB IN SEASON 8 WHY ARE THESE SO SICK AS HELL!??!
I know the episode ain't great but i liked the kill from Wondy vs Thor so much that I lifted it for a minor villain from my original story.
As the number one Metal Sonic VS Zero fan on the planet, all the shit you have the episode hurt me mentally, spiritually, emotionally and somehow physically, how do you even do that
I'm sorry. I just wanted to share my opinion. :(
Hey fun fact The sub-zero sprite wasn't Kuai Liang it was bi han His brother
Really? I did not notice that. Damn.
They probably used the sprite because for some reason people really hate Kuai Liang's look in mk3 I don't get the hate for it looks fine
@@Kingbeat1 don't think that it was necessarily because his MK3 design isn't very well-liked. I think that it's simply because Bi-Han's MK3 design closely resembles Kuai Liang's MK2 design and Kuai Liang's MK2 design is more iconic and recognisable than his MK3 design and can be better used to convey Kuai in his entirety as a character, whereas Kuai's MK3 design depicts him in a very specifoc part of his life. And an MK3 sprite was chosen over an MK2 sprite possibly because of the bigger moveset and better graphical detail and fidelity.
Respect for loving the Black Knight OST
Great video my guy! Can’t wait for the season 5 video (My personal favorite Death Battle season, aside from season 8)!
Thanks bruv.
Okay, coming to the rescue for Lucario VS Renamon, here we go. Don’t worry, this will be quick.
46:59 - I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to be Dragon Pulse. Notice it’s coming from its mouth, not its hands.
47:13 - I was always under the idea that Lucario’s self healing came into play when it was getting hit by Diamond Storm, hence the glowing aura when it powers through the attack.
Bragging rights an fun fact it not only my sister's birthday and Sonics birthday and Madvocate review of season 4 flash review came out man today is a good day
That's a lot of epic for one day.
They did my boy Zero dirty he needs a run back bad
so as a naruto fan, him using clones and rasengan constantly is very in character lol
Achieving these bragging rights is the greatest feat I will ever achieve,
Because of them, I am now multiversal+ and can now beat goku…..
That’s how bragging rights work right?
Nah nah, you gotta watch every video on my channel to be multi+. As of right now, you are planet level for how much you have gathered.
That said, Goku has died to a planet blowing up in his face, so you should still beat him no problem.
@@JonathanFrostathan so I can beat a saibaman…. I’ll take it
Bragging rights again!
Also, not a charge shot.
narutos moveset is really limited. his entire moveset throughout the whole anime is just clones and rasenshurikens. which is why his attacks feel so repetitive in that deathbattle
Bragging rights baby!
Android 18 vs Captain Marvel felt like a spite match.
When will Venom get a match that isn’t a complete stomp?
I hate to be "that guy" but no Dr. Cain didn't remove the virus from zero
what actually happened was that during their fight, sigma punched zero's forehead gem, shattering it and basically giving zero a factory reset, leaving him with no memory of the fight or his actions after waking up having a new personality, and the thing is zero never lost the virus, according to the wiki he was still infected and basically just became an a-symptomatic carrier, which is why he decided to be sealed away before the zero series so he wouldn't continue to spread the virus
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Johnny Yong Bosch reprised his role as Ichigo in Naruto vs Ichigo (albeit going under the alais of Adam Park… the character he played in power rangers)
I hate explaining jokes to people, but you should look up Emil Castagnier's voice actor right now.
As a SUPER Shovel Knight fan, I loved seeing SK in Death Battle, but the episode could've been done better. To answer a few things you were wondering, the guy who uses hats as a power was a based reference, Mr. Hat is a fun salesman character who obsesses with hats, to fill his collection and see what power they'd give him. Second, yeah, the whole SK being dumb was dumb, it was fair to assume that she died, she didn't but I won't spoil anything, but based on the story, it's very reasonable to assume at first she was dead. And third, yeah, SK was characterized weirdly, SK is all about being an honorable warrior and hero, so him stealing treasure from someone and fighting them like that is not like him, and no, he doesn't get hired by anyone, he's kind of his own adventurer with Shield Knight. I'd like to see him brought back and done better next time, as he's also gotten two new games with new feats, relics, and more, and other characters have gotten their own campaigns too, giving him comparable stats. Great video btw
He has 2 new games?
@@MidnightPhantom yeah, Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon and Shovel Knight Dig. Pocket Dungeon is a puzzle rougelite with many modes, characters and challenges, while Dig is a 2D platformer rougelite that has you going downwards digging.
@@Madagascar_on_GameCube What types of feats does he get in those?
@@MidnightPhantom He can drop from super high distances without getting hurt, can dig miles underground without taking a break, was smart enough to figure out a puzzle that took a knight who's thing is puzzles couldn't figure out for years. He also has new relics and accessories, like the a rod that can freeze enemies solid temporarily, a locket that can turn him into a spirit for a few seconds to go through walls, rings that can make him immune to fire, electric, ice, explosion and wind attacks for one hit before it needs a 5 second cool down, can throw his Shovel like a boomerang, do a super Shovel drop that makes him go down faster and catch his Shovel on fire, and so many more I could type for 10 minutes.
@@Madagascar_on_GameCube That is interesting
I still don't see how zero got through chaos control or won
47:00 Just a slight correction, but that's "Dragon Breath" not "Aura Storm".
1:21:42 ....Was that a goddamn Diary of Wimpy Kid reference?
Imma be real, I dont really like Sephiroth vs Vergil and, dare I say, needs a rematch due to more info on Vergil due to DMC5.
Speaking of which Nero in Death Battle when?
Don’t really have much to say about the season funny enough. I am glad I am not the only one who likes the Venom vs Bane match up… too bad the episode wasn’t that good. Zero vs Metal Sonic in the other hand is a match up I never really was a fan of. I mean, if it was a sequel episode to Wily vs Eggman, then I think that would be cool but it really wasn’t and the episode ended up being crap anyways so I don’t even see the point of the episode in the first place. Meta Knight vs Zero when indeed. (Meta Knight vs Zero is my most wanted match up ever since Season 1)
Decided to try to watch another one of your earlier episodes in this series for bragging rights, and I must say,
1:03:15 does this line still hole true? I love this episode l, but I know a lot can change in opinion, so I wanted to know if you still stand by that statement?
Great video, although I don't agree with calling Metal vs Zero's defence arguments "bad faith" (don't insult my boy Ty like that.)
That wasn't meant to be a jab at Ty btw. He's my boi, too, ya know.
Bragging Rights! Great video Jonathan although I need to get this out of my chest but do you respect opinions even you don't like the episodes? Not saying that I'm being a jerk about it just saying pls don't sue me lol.
Of course I respect other opinions. Do I give off the vibe that I don't? Honest question as I have been thinking this lately.
@JonathanFrostathan I respect your work say that I can't wait for your season 5 video which is my favorite season so far!
"If you've seen the other parts, you get bragging rights in the comments"
Yay :)
Bragging rights squad! ❤
And make a video about Sonic and the black knight music
BRAGGING RIGHTS YESSSSS
Ok so like, Can Someone please Explain what the Negative 2 Story Building Joke Means? My ass is DEEPLY Confused.
Negative 2 story building equals very small building. It also wouldn't hurt you if you if you jumped out the window, let alone onto stuffed animals.
I get bragging rights woooooooooooo
(I will drop the Shovel Knight vs Scrooge rant later)
Interested to what you'll bring up.
Yes
Hey, bragging rights, I guess.
Bragging Rights ™️ always good to have!
My bragging rights are trademarked ya love to see it!
Bragging rights, go!
Naruto vs ichago was my favorite episode for a while on this show but it might be taken over by might guy v all might . as for this season i highly disagree with the claim that its the weakest ( i think 1, 3 and 7 ) is worse but its your unique opinion there .
I dunno if you've heard this already but at 28:42 you put "Anroid 18" instead of "Android 18".
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
(1:32) So like, was the 3rd video game character from season 9 Silver or Trunks
The vg characters I was referring to were Jinx, Excalibur, Raiden, and Lich King (a vg version of a novel character). Now that I'm looking it up, DB Heroes was technically an arcade game first, so that would actually mean five.
I don't count Silver because he's a comic book version of a video game character.
Bragging rights bay bay
I've seen the other parts.
Your bragging rights are inside your walls!!
Wait, I thought they got JYB (or clips of him) for Ichigo. What gives?
Where tf are all those trailers for power rangers Vs voltron I’d love to see those someone send me the link!
They should still be on the Death Battle channel, and YT is wishy washy with links.
Out of curiosity, why do you dislike Mortal Kombat, if you wish to talk about it, obviously? I'm kinda curious.
It's nothing too deep. I just don't vibe with the gameplay and the animations make it less appealing to me. I also think that the fatalities have been actively hindering the narrative and are obnoxiously excessive for no reason, but that's also a personal thing.
@@JonathanFrostathanYeah, I've gotta say those are issues I do share with the newer games in the series too.
35:15 yes
Mother loving MATPAT....WHAT !!!!!
I never really knew Death Battle had seasons 😂😂
