    Fun fact about this episode, the part in the bio that was supposed to say Bill Cipher’s real name flashes through a bunch of scrambled names very quickly. One of these happens to be “somhketogdeouc”, which is an anagram for theduckgoesmoo.

    "I want them both to win!"
    Well, uh, wish granted sort of. Bill won the Death Battle by killing Discord, but Discord tricked him into being trapped back in the Nightmare Realm, thereby saving the MLP world like he set out to. (You can even see the exact moment he does it. After he uses that finger snap to bring them back from the puppet dimension, if you pay close attention to the background, you can see that the rift portal is suspiciously blue and not red like it was at the beginning.) In short, Bill might have just won the most pyrrhic victory in all of Death Battle.
    Also, the song is called "Discordant Decipher" and it's a bop. I highly recommend listening to it, even just on your own. It's basically Bill and Discord doing an Epic Rap Battle in the lyrics.

    One of the popups clarified that unicorn hair itself isn't an actual weakness of Bill's, it's just an ingredient for a spell designed to protect against Bill and his powers. There are actual unicorns in Gravity Falls that they go to, and I doubt they were spared from Weirdmageddon. It's just the only one we call special attention to because there was an episode all about getting a hair from a unicorn.

    This is a UNIQUE battle to say the least. Several interesting things though.
    1. Discord is not dead. At least, by our definition. While his soul and body are destroyed, he will come back. Being the embodiment of chaos, something that always has and always will exist, comes with that perk. However, considering how long it takes, he effectively "lost" the match.
    2. This is by a long-shot the most pyrrhic a victory has gotten on death battle. Bill won the fight but that's about it. Considering he's still trapped by the end of the episode, the info spread about him in the analysis, and the fact he's back in the nightmare realm, it's entirely possible Bill can't come back to our reality, at least in our lifetime. Even his "kill" isn't permanent due to point 1.
    3. Cole versus Alex is a db matchup that has been LONG requested for over 10 years. Both are from a pseudo-superhero video game with very different abilities. Cole has some of the most varied electrical abilities in video game history and possibly some fire or ice tools. Alex is essentially what happens when you combine Carnage with The Thing from John Carpenter's movie. Another interesting point is that neither game has had a release in quite some time. The most recent games for either series has been Infamous Second Son which was in 2014. Prototype died with it's (underrated) sequel. I'm personally rooting and betting Alex.

    The voice actor for Discord is John de Lancie, who played the character Q in the Star Trek franchise starting from Star Trek the Next Generation and subsequently showed up in several more series afterwards. This is what they mean when they talk about "My Captain" sort of way, as he tended to annoy the captains of the ships in each series starting with Jean-Luc Picard.

    Some of the easter eggs in this battle point towards future match-ups. All that I've found so far: You can see Sans and what looks like The Judge's head in one shot, so Sans vs Judge is probably confirmed, which isn't surprising considering how much people seem to want that match-up. You also see pony versions of Rick Sanchez and The Doctor fighting in the background of one scene, so that's another super popular match-up that's seemingly confirmed. When the animation style switches to Rubberhose, you see Bendy and Cuphead in the background, which could either be pointing to the prior DBX or signaling this will become a full battle. You see a witch hat with a sword through it, which definitely points to Luz vs Anne, especially since they've already done a Death Battle Cast on it. You see Columbo both as a pony in the battle and in the reflection of Bill's eye in his jumpscare at the end of the recap, so we're definitely getting a Columbo battle, most likely Columbo vs Light Yagami considering how much Death Battle Staff Member Liam Swan has vocally been in favor of that one.

    2 original super hero games that came out during the 7th generation of consoles. InFamous being about Cole MacGrath who gets powers over electricity (like static shock), and Prototype being about "Alex Mercer" who had shapeshifting powers and the ability to "consume" other people to gain their likeness and memories.

    This autoplay experiment is getting quite intriguing! We’ve gone from Flex Tape to Lucky Bags, then to a Japanese internet café, and now into cartoon theories involving children’s fates-specifically a Gravity Falls theory. Interestingly, the next two videos stayed within the Gravity Falls universe, and somehow, ponies got thrown into the mix. This journey is shaping up to be a fascinating roller coaster!
    On a side note, I’d love to watch you do a series where you explore the history of animation, similar to Animation Pilgrimage. It would involve deep dives and reviews of animated films and shows, such as Gravity Falls and My Little Pony (reactions included-because, let’s be honest, when are the My Little Pony reactions happening?).

    The battle where both characters won. Bill did indeed kill Discord and won the fight, but Discord sacrificed himself to save the MLP world/universe by trapping Bill back in his own home. You can actually tell when Discord does it after the hand puppet finger snap here at 14:53 because compared to how the landscape looked at the start of the fight, it looks different in the 2nd half. Tieing into Bill having tunnel vision of trying to kill Discord that he doesn't realize he's in an illusion
    It's safe to say that they went all out on this fight, which makes sense since that's what the community voted for. Now, we have to wait and see if they can pull off another incredible fight next time with the 3D poll winner Cole Macgrath vs. Alex Mercer (Still a little salty that Kratos vs. Asura didn't win but oh well). Also, same boat where I knew nothing about these shows except hearing that Gravity Falls is a banger show, so maybe one day

    In a way of looking at things they did both win, Bill won the Death Battle by destroying Discord (at least for the moment) and Discord won in a sense that he did what he set out to do, which is to save his friends, and upstage his rival, which he did by sealing him away and essentially getting the last laugh in spite of his defeat

    There are so many references and Easter eggs it'd be impossible to list them all, so I'll only list a few.
    Despite losing the poll to Bill Vs Discord in the poll, Fall Guys Vs Among Us was referenced twice, in the end of that claymation shot (which is a reference to Macho Man Vs Kool Aid Man btw, down to them both in the background of the shot) Bill turns into the Imposter, and in the first shot of them as puppets, there are Fall Guys and Among Us plushies on the far right just staring at Bill and Discord, the Bill Vs Discord fans thought they destroyed Fall Guys Vs Among Us but all they did was postpone it, Fall Guys Vs Among Us is inevitable.
    There are references to other matchups as well. If you look closely when Bill is playing drums, you can find Sans from Undertale and The Judge from Off standing next to the crash symbol, and later in the shot you can briefly see The Doctor from Doctor Who fighting Rick Sanchez from Rick And Morty.
    There are so many references to members of the community, some show up in the fight and some have their names spelled out in the madness that is Bill's true name, there's too many to bring up so I'll just bring up Biff Weed's car pfp is shown flying around In a couple shots because he's undoubtedly the reason why Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda shows up in Bill's analysis.
    Speaking of the ballot, for this year they're doing things differently, instead of having 2 polls with 6 matchups each, there's gonna be a massive tournament starting from yesterday, 4 matchups have been introduced and UA-cam members have a week to vote, the winner of that will move on to the semi finals, this process will repeat an additional 7 times (meaning 32 matchups are in this tournament) then on week 9, the winners from weeks 1-4 will compete to be in the finals, and the winners from weeks 5-8 will compete in week 10, and in week 11 the winners of weeks 9 and 10 will compete in the finals, 32 matchups enter, only 1 shall win. Who's gonna win? I don't know, like I said this only started yesterday so only the first 4 matchups have been revealed so far, but going off of who's winning that poll at the moment, Monokuma Vs Koro Sensei currently has the lead, I highly recommend checking out both of their series by the way, Danganronpa is a great game series and Monokuma is a very entertaining villain, and Assassination Classroom is one of my favourite animes and I'm pretty sure Koro Sensei would become one of your favourite anime characters.

    So to explain that ending, during their fight Discord was able to get him and Bill back to Bill's home/prison dimension taking advantage of Bill's "tunnel vision" as DB called it. It was only until it was too late that Bill realized what happened and couldn't return to the "my little pony universe" that he was conquering in the beginning, and I rage Bill just crushed Discord's soul. In the end Bill May have won the Battle, but Discord won the "war" by saving his home and friends from Bill trapping him back from wense he came

    Discord wrote the letter seen on the ground by the ponys at the beginning of the battle. And after he snapped his fingers all the living creatures disappeared and the colors of the portal changed to the colors of Equestria, that was when he pulled Bill and himself to the Nightmare Realm. He knew from the start it was hopeless and that all he could do was trap Bill and save his friends and he wrote the letter to say goodbye (and to piss off Bill, who *did* indeed learn a lesson about friendship).

    To humans he holds back because he thinks we're a joke.
    Discord just got so lazy that he doesn't see ANYTHING as a threat.
    They fight and discord annoys bill so much he distracts bill enough lurking and trapping him in the nightmare realm basically bills prison.
    Bill destroys his soul but gets trapped again.

      the ending is best explained as "bill won the poll" but only by a few votes, so they could take liberties with discord trapping bill.
      it was a case of "bill won the battle" "but discord won the war"
      by choosing to fight discord bill became so blinded by his fight he didn't see discord was setting things up from the start to trap bill again.

    Okay, so. The battle started in Equestria, aka ponyland. The world there was conquered, and Bill was creating a throne out of the toys that were the people there and the banners were the Mane 6 of the show trapped inside. Discord writes a letter and attacks Bill. They have a fight, but get teleported out through 'weird' means. Then discord snaps and a portal opens sending them to a FAKE Equestria (the weirdness is gone) and when Discord proposes a different game, Bill destroys the body, to which Discord gets serious. He invades Bill's mind and sets it on fire to destroy it, just like being trapped in a dying mind killed him before. Bill literally reaches into his mind and rips discord out, but Discord had already won. When the illusion of the fake equestria disappears, it's revealed Bill is stuck in the Nightmare Realm again. We see the portal with a restored Equestria and the note Discord was writing in the ground in front of Fluttershy. Bill tries to rush the portal, but it shuts. Bill won the fight with discord, but it was such a pyrrhic victory, it would almost be better to lose.
    Also, fun fact, Discord won't stay dead.

    You know its funny. Ben Singer has been quoted on many occasions that the best episodes that illustrate what Death Battle is all about, is the My Little Pony ones. Because what better way to advertise your show by taking a traditionally harmless and child friendly concept, look at all the gratuitous violence within it and put said characters in a fight to the death? I agree with him. Because when you think "Death Battle", your mind doesn't automatically go to My Little Pony. Yet it works cause its exactly what the show's about.
    Serendipitous if you ask me.

    The Claymation has Macho Man and Kool aid man fighting in the background and Bill turns into a imposter crew mate from Amoung Us, the old timey animation has cuphead and bendy in the background. And lots more details the animation team really went all out with this fight.

    "ELEVEN DEEZ NUTS HAH" (Atbash cipher)
    And to explain the ending,
    DIscord warped them both to the Nightmare Realm (from that third Weirdness Bubble, the puppet show one) and disguised it with an illusion, taking advantage of Bill's tunnel vision on killing him to not realize that he wasn't in Equestria anymore. This nullified the effects of the Weirdmageddon and put Bill back to square one, even if he did manage to win the Death Battle itself.
    ...Although this isn't really THE end for Discord, as he'll eventually remanifest in time - faster if Fluttershy knows to stir up a bit of chaos herself.
    In short, Bill Cipher suffers the BIGGEST pyrrhic victory in Death Battle history - one that likely won't ever be topped.
