Ash Ketchum vs Charles Darwin Epic Rap Battles of History Reaction

Brings me back, i still remember how to do the glitch step by step, spent a lot of time doing it as it always gave different results. I think my best find was a trainer that had 6x lvl 137 ivysaurs.

[@anthonybullington34]

wanted ash to win, till that Mighty Morphing Michael Vick line dropped, then reality set in.

[@vamtheanomaly]

Origin of feces is a diss on Darwin's prolific books "The Origin of Species"

[@ImAviex]

I feel like its impossible for someone like Ash to win in this type of matchup even if they had bars of the same caliber, which I don't think was the case this time around. Charles' bars hit harder because they are about something very popular in today's culture or at the very least something most people are at least familiar with. Like I think the TB and Scarlet Fever bar was the most brutal bar but somehow it still doesn't hit as hard as something like "Mighty Morphin Michael Vick" being an avid Pokemon fan.

[@jp3813]

It's not impossible given that most people think Hannibal Lecter destroyed Jack the Ripper. Ash should've taken advantage of his popularity to hit harder.

[@dominiccampbell181]

I don't know, that line about not being able to turn 11, when Ash has been 10 years old for 22 years was brutal, then that last line of harder than the wood Oak gave your mother? I'm not even sure there are enough Burn Heals in the game to fix that without the Missing No glitch.

[@ImAviex]

@@jp3813 Your logic is baffling. So your expecting Ash to hit harder with bars that have nothing to do with Charles Darwin? The reason Hannibal Lectar won was because he was flipping bars back and because much like Hannibal Lectar said, Jack The Ripper was jacking off on the track. Likely due to limited amount of ammo Lloyd and Peter had for Hannibal Lectar. But ironically enough, you are saying that Ash should have rapped like Jack The Ripper and made more Pokemon references rather than take shots at Darwin and that would have helped him win. Astounding.

[@ImAviex]

@@dominiccampbell181 Its subjective which is my whole point, I am partial to alliterations hence why I like that bar. But I was more comparing how even though the bar about his dead children and how they died was savage it doesnt hit as hard because his dead children and Charles Darwin as a whole isn't as popular as Pokemon to put it bluntly.

[@dominiccampbell181]

@@ImAviex Honestly, I don't think it was about popularity, but more about the differences between age and style. If you think about it, aside from that last part about Darwin's kids, Ash's hardest shots were mostly funny type shots that someone his age would make that leaned towards burns of the Yo Mama... joke variety. Darwin on the other hand, was hitting Ash with adult disses and references. His hardest shots at Ash were 'I'm coming for your soul' levels of meanness; like, this battle is over, you crossed a line and we have to fight now.

[@willsalice7894]

Mighty morphin Michael Vick I almost died holy shit the savagery

[@beerus7043]

For those who don't understand the line: Micheal vick is a football player that secretly would bet on dogs battling each other against their own will. Darwin relates this to the pokemon animated series

[@Roboto2073]

The phrase about Mike Vick is because he had parties for dog fights. Such as trainers battle in Pokémon.

The "your shit talking mouth is the origin of feces" line is a reference to Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" where he discussed his research in evolution and natural selection.

Ash couldn't win, because grown man bars is something he has to deal with.

I believe you missed that Ash's "origin of feces" line is a reference to Darwin's "Origin of species" which is aptly titled. It's one of his most famous works, and outlined much of what he's known for today, scientifically speaking.

_My research reversed the first words of the Church._ This bit alone is sooo *fire*

[@chriscollins7735]

It depends on the cards you have, the condition they are in, what set they are from. Some are expensive because of being highly sought after by collectors. The harder a specific card is to get, the more expensive it will be. Also some cards are expensive because of how good the are/were in the actual competitive card game.

[@RedEyesBlackDragon0]

"When I need a week verse, I choose you" was a reference to the first episode, titled [Pikachu, I choose you]

[@SwordsmanMercenary]

Darwins intro was like Oak's in the GB games which was great.
