Maybe this whole arc could have been better if it was all about Haru and maybe Morgana’s arc could have been saved for the final level of the game.

Wait, when did this happen?

I missed it

Honestly, my favorite thing about Weiss vs Mitsuru comes from the Cast Q&A where Torrian just flat-out says Weiss sucks at fighting, while her official voice actress is literally in the same room commentating with him, that will never be hilarious to me, Torrian just speaks his mind no matter what lmao

Hate it that venusaur lost and lost first…

41:40 He was actually comparing her to the aliens that Stitch got his DNA from. 47:34 He’s a what??

1:46:17 I just realized both of these characters' successors died on death battle.

My biggest(and only) problem with Guts vs Dimitri is it isnt conveyed well how Guts died. I think he died from blood loss but I didnt realize that on my first viewing

If I can defend the outcome… please don’t at me, but after watching Omniverse I was surprised with this one thing. If we were to calculate on Ben’s maximum potential and or get a better example of Alien X’s limits with… Alien X, we gotta talk about the U-Bomb. The U-Bomb is a multiverse level threat than when dedicated, would take out every person with the Omnitrix from every timeline, and while theoretically, Hal could survive the multiverse collapsing (even if it was slow and not one big boom) Ben 10,000, even in Alien X, he straight up failed, perished, and immediately died after trying to stop the blast with his powers of what Im assuming to be reality warping. And if it weren’t for Professor Paradox, and Time hopping, and Time manipulation from another Alien, every Ben 10 in existence would be screwed. Heck even go for the green alien that lets Ben make fusions with other aliens, outside of maybe his limit on how many aliens he can fuse at once given the limited limbs and body parts he has, Hal can potentially try to counter even then due going up against insane bad guys and his arsenal of weapons and clones with infinite will power can probably counter any fusion Ben could make even if it was his strongest aliens yet. Besides Alien X of course. But that’s my opinion. And an opinion I’m kind of shocked that it would happened

1:46:39 He Remembers it So You Don’t Have To

That wave of sonic music in tge intro hit me in the feels

My problems with Alucard vs Dio are 1, I feel its out of character for alucard to use level 0 against a single opponent. Its also a drastic waste of one of his more useful abilities. 2, they try to say Alucard wouldn't know Dio is weak to sunlight. Im pretty sure hellsing vampires are also weak to sun, just Alucard is so powerful hes unaffected. 3, they say even if the sun came dio would just hide which is true, but alucard would also hunt for him which would be a problem for Dio. As if Alucard finds dio while the sun is out, dio's trapped. 4, I actually did the math for how long it would take dio to work through all of alucard's extra lives, assuming alucard has exactly 3 million, dio uses timestop for each kill, and alucard dies, recovers, and dies again with 1 second. The answer is it would take 83 hours of nonstop consecutive murder. So basically, if alucar doesnt use level 0 or has the aware of his own existence thing he pretty much has a guaranteed win. Also some people try to argue Dio's hypnosis against aware of his own existence but hypnosis is not something Dio uses in a fight. Hes arrogant. He wouldn't do that out of his own pride.

Obito's phasing doesn't have an effect in Naruto. In the original series, it just looks like he's clipping through things.

I'm going to be honest I'm not even a big fire emblem or berserk fan But this episode is easily in my top five of all time so that shows how good it is.

Jonathan: Multiverse of Madness is a good movie and I'm tired of pretending it's not! Me: Well, someone does not/will not like Mauler's review of the movie.

I think my favorite part of Goro vs Machamp is that someone was paid to say Machamp a bunch of times.

Good on you for writing a 12 minute essay on Why Killua vs Misaka Is an Underrated Masterpiece.

I remember in some video, I think a cast talking about Weiss vs Mitsuri, that they'd never beat the bias allegations. I think he pointed out that though they had weiss lose the episode, people would just say she lost so they could prove they didn't have bias.

As a fan of both series, I am so glad that you gave Killua vs Misaka a great score.

1:50:40-1:51:50 I don’t get it, what was this about?

Came back to this Review after watching The Granbull’s ranking of the season, I find it funny how all of his criticisms are all debunked by the 20 minute mark

×500 or ×200 bragging rights. IDR how many bragging rights I have currently. But anyway, I can't deny it: Season 10 is the best season of Death Battle without a doubt. So many incredible episodes and the worst this season had to offer were 6/10s and I still enjoyed them.

52:10 the short joke being what starts the fight is very in character for Ed, he tries fighting everyone who calls him short but is always stopped by his brother Alphonse. Him referencing the short jokes for the whole fight is VERY out of character even if he’s in a rage about it. it’s very disappointing that they had the opportunity to write such a fun character and just didn’t really know where to go with it. holding out hope for Edward vs Josuke though :P!

I came in about a month before the season 7 or 8 retrospective came out. Not long, but I did go back and rewatch all the retrospectives. Season 10 will always be held to a special standard for me since it got me back into Death Battle. And since every episode has a lot to be said about, I'll add some notes of my own here. I was 100% whelmed by Ant-Man Vs. Atom. I liked the idea of both characters, but beyond Earth's Mightiest Heroes (which is still the best Avengers adaptation, don't @ me) I had little interest in Hank Pym. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by how Hank's analysis was done as well as the Boomstick Science jokes. The fight itself was, and this is a hot take, just okay for the most part. A lot of it was what you'd expect from a shrinking fight, although it had some creativity like Atom growing to stomp the ants and the pseudo-Kaiju fight near the end. Also, the death. Because I needed to be afraid of ants apparently. As a staunch fan of Dark Souls and one who can say that Skyrim was my first ever Xbox game, I enjoyed certain emphases on the arsenals between both. And of course, the meme comments were solid examples of "Hey, hey, they said the thing!" moments. That said, I kind of wish they'd expanded more upon the unique abilities both had and how they could be used in a fight. They got some of them, like Vow of Silence and the Dragonborn summoning one of his dragons, but there were so many more things that I know its somewhat unreasonable to ask be put in but its a natural consequence of both having *so* much to work with. Two things that irked me was that A) the First Flame was given no actual impact during the climax, and B) there was no reference to the Soul of Cinder, which canonically is the amalgamation of all those who linked the fire along with the Chosen Undead and Gwyn himself. I doubt they'd have added it to the fight, but it would have been a nice talking point. WHOOO KILLUA VS. MISAKA! I don't care what people say, I am glad how this turned out. I'm a fan of both HXH and Toaru, and to see either get some rep is welcome. And of all the characters, it made the most sense to use Misaka. I don't blame people for being less interested in Misaka, since Toaru is a *dense* series to try to get into, but the backlash towards it was wildly unreasonable. Why do I feel like it wouldn't have been this bad if Killua had fought someone else? Food for thought. The characterization of Misaka was a bit toned down, and there were a few moments I felt like Killua's attacks could have had more impact, but otherwise it was a great fight. See, I grew up on Lilo and Stitch and adore the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but Stitch Vs. Rocket was and remains a very meh episode to me. No hate to anyone who liked it, but it just was not a match up I cared an iota about. It was a solid "okay" from me chief. Vader Vs. Obito gave me mixed feelings. Always great to see Anakin and I have no inherent dislike of any Naruto characters, despite my willful unfamiliarity with the franchise, but much of my criticisms come down to the fight. (Also my preferred Vader match up is him versus Artoria from Fate, I'll fight you on that one, JoFro) I do like the gravitas they give to Vader in the fight, like the movies do, making him this seeming juggernaut that can't be stopped directly. I've heard that Obito getting the Ten Tails would count at outside help, but again, I don't know enough about Naruto to confirm this. That said, as a guy who likes analyzing a Versus Match based off abilities and how they function rather than scaling, this fight really showed off the interesting ways their abilities would bounce off each other. NGL the Gmod-looking models during the Tsukuyomi scene always make me laugh a bit and I don't think that's the intended reaction, but I appreciate the feeling behind it. However, I was irritated that some of the ultimate conclusion was essentially based entirely on "vibes". Like with their vague reasonings as to why Vader couldn't escape the Tsukuyomi, or the little attention given to Vader's precognition which you'd think would help more. I don't know, I just can't enjoy it as much as others do. Its still a good episode. It's a season 10 episode, of course its good. Uuuuuh, Phoenix and Raven is....Okay. Its here. it exists. I'm not an absolute hater of the Marvel Vs. DC match ups but it has become white noise to me at a certain point. Just like you did a whole video on it, I left a whole comment on Guts Vs. Dimitri on that video. As to the facts about Berserk and FE fans, as someone deep into the FE fandom and has been for close to a decade...many of them are actually true, but also weirdly vague - being horny on main and having a lot of inside jokes is hardly a unique trait of a fandom. And yes, I am one who was perplexed with how they chose to scale Dimitri to the Javelins of Light (I'm not a fan of chain scaling), but I thought he'd win regardless so I don't care that much. I just see it as a bad habit I hope they won't repeat and leave it at that. Moving on. Martian Manhunter is actually one of my favorite DC characters. His natural philosophical nature and soft spoken attitude despite his incredible strength makes him a bit of an understated powerhouse in terms of character and fighting potential. I feel like there were better match ups for him in terms of choreography potential, but I won't complain that he got an episode. See you in the next part, good sir, until next time!

Why are you titling it like Death Battle is confirmed to be over?

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 still think dante wins against bayonetta. DMC 5 gave him a massive boost, namely because with his sin devil trigger, dante could easily beat Urizen who could easily beat dante previously.

10:50 All that says is she has a fever. A fever isnt an illness, its a symptom. There is a lot of different things that can cause a fever.

❤

Great retrospective!!!

1:24:02 No way Happix jumpscare in my Jonathan Frostathan video

Warning: I haven’t watched either of the series these characters are from Killua vs Mikasa is the worst episode in the season in my opinion. The analysis is fine, a few jokes I found funny. But, the fight is horrible and it’s everything I dislike in a fight, long range blasts, bad close range fights and kinda one sided But, I’ll give it another watch some day

Who has worse takes Jonathan or Sam

The thumbnail has Obito, Jean, Misaka and someone else

And then season 11 came out......

first of all goated music choice for the intro sequence (with me gets left out so often when hearing sonic music ) Edit 1: 7:26 Absolutely based Take tbh(though i prefer 06s ost personally) Edit 2: Mostly in agreement for antom however i don't like the track that much it works ell for the fight but it just doesnt vibe for me outside of it) Edit 3: Alright, now with chosenborn i have several disagreements 1. While i get having the darksouls rundown not working in the first half due to the abundance of memes, i think it actually helps the analysis by having much of its comedy frontloaded with it receeding as the lore and a more somber tone get brought closer to the forefront, leaving the second half with a better feel due to the contrast 2.I heavily disagree with dragonborns analysis, though i get not liking the cheese calc and some of the memes, though i personally don't have any issue with the cutoffs i can see why that might not work (especially as somebody who has edited extensively seeing how you have been cooking for us ), i think they serve their purpose as a sort of pallete cleanser after the more somber ending of CU's analysis while also fitting the more silly world of the elder scrolls (atleast from the players perspective), small gags like the bucket and shopkeep, the small faction war, nod to it's modding scene and the 3rd best cutaway of the season do help it stand out as the story of skyrim itself is not really that neccesary beyond much of the basics and it's ending with much beeing left up to the players choices after all. 3. Though i get having the jank as a major problem i believe the WIDE Variety of tools, weapons and abilities and some absolutely hype and hilarity (stopping the arrow midair via time stop, the arrow to the knee and to the dragon, and the absolutely perfect set up for a final clash alongside brandons best track (for db) make up for it in spades, 4.regarding its ending i get having the soundbite complaint i do too (it could be mitigated by just using fus or fusro at the beginning), but as you mentioned it does get helped via the effects and the visuals, the death itself while still on the weaker side is massively helped by the complete destruction of the first flame and it's implication as the first flame was hyped up during CU's analysis and the post death monologue. 5. i would pit the episode much higher on the scale but a 62 just seems really low tbh Edit 4: The rest of the takes are perfectly understandable and i have no issues

1:21:01 As a fellow Fire Emblem fan who also happens to be aromantic, i'm glad to know i'm not alone.

13:52 "Shoutout to people named Raymond, unironically some of the most intelligent people in existence" Does he know

THANK YOU! FINALLY SOMEONE GIVES SSMM ITS DUES!

Ok fine I'm not playing Tales of Berseria if I'm gonna be accused of being dumber than the guy who unironically answered "What's 1+1" with "3"

I swear to god if you give Rick VS The Doctor a bad rating, I’m going to… Do nothing, have a nice day!

7:25 Was not expecting the Sonic and the Black Knight love, but I am here for it. I have always loved that game and am extremely happy that it’s been getting the love it deserves in recent years.

27:59 Hey who's that handsome guy

In Obito vs Vader, the lack of effects for Obito's phasing is actually intentional, as that's exactly how it works in Naruto. Kamui is busted as all hell.

Shoutout to that one guy on Reddit who kept posting Misaka gore after that episode was released. You really like making the fandom look like @ssholes, don't you?

I did not expect my comment of all things to be used in the Killua vs Misaka section. Even if it was brief, I'm really thankful for that.

Your gripes about obitos fazing might be misguided, since that is how its depicted in the show. In naruto, he literally fazes through attacks with little to no effect shown.
