[@Reysan7]

Death battle: We analysed all possibilities Butch: Kick his ass, Danny!

[@ShutUpCatProductions]

Butch: “My character actually killed someone?!”

[@adolfodef]

Given the way it happened, you could argue that Danny was NOT expecting that a Dragon could be INCINERATED at all ["fireproof" ]; so the killing could have being accidental (not attempted murder but just incapacitation/knock_out). -> Once it happened, it was Danny´s responsability to ensure that the ghost of that dragon guy would not cause even more damage to the city [their 4 vs 4 battle did too much already]; so also trapping his spirit was the right thing to do (he can release him on the Ghost Zone & ask forgiveness later).

[@superbaas8822]

A big disclaimer they used to put, the characters need to not be hesitant to inflict the killing blow, or else it would taint the result. It is very common hero characters get pitted against each other, and it wouldn't exactly make for great entertainment if they eventually just resolved it with "Oh, it was some cheesy misunderstanding."

[@dicksimmons3147]

JTReviewsPlus he punched more at the start of the show when he didn’t have his ectoplasm blasts

[@joshuakim5240]

@@JTReviewsPlus One reason why Danny doesn't throw many punches is because he's physically not that strong (he's a scrawny teenager that in multiple occasions was pointed out to be scrawny). His ghost powers give him a lot of powers, but doesn't enhance his physical strength much, if at all, so the more options he got in the show to replace punching, the less he punched.

[@kangofkek8079]

I never doubted Danny would win. He had the clear advantage in mentality over Jake. Despite both being teenagers, Danny is more quick to take things seriously even with his sense of humor; Jake is more arrogant and toys with his enemies.

[@thekita6774]

It was a great battle.I wasn't expecting him to defeat jake with a kamehameha though.I guess Danny was trained by Goku those times he died.

[@AtelierGod]

No it’s just that Death Battle can only really choreograph dragon ball z style battles and if any DBZ esc abilities show up, then you can be sure that they could more then likely just be switched with any DBZ character on the spot and it’d still look like it was just as good, they’re quite limited in what they can do due to rarely doing anything different unless they absolutely have too.

i love the way you love your own creations, it's really cool to see a creator of a character care this way about whats going on in the community; i love DB

[@dantearmstrong2792]

To the people I was debating with within the community tab, I'll admit I was wrong about the Ghostly Wail being the deciding factor. Death Battle even mentioned the fatigue that comes with using it so I thought the move would have more importance; however, they sort of glossed over the Ghostly Wail in the fight. Danny used it for an instant and then that was it. I was expecting him to use the Ghostly Wail with his doppelgangers in all directions or something big but things turned out differently. So, I concede defeat but I'm very happy with the outcome. I was rooting for Danny the whole time but I know Death Battle has a knack for exploiting weaknesses so I was worried.

[@gageunruh3574]

Actually they dont focus on weakness unless they would actually play a big part. Like cable vs booster gold they mentioned that booster could run out of power a few times and it never came up in the fight cause realistically it wouldnt since his power lasts for days. Also we vs thor they glossed over her weakness cause it wasnt important, mecha godzilla vs dragon zord didnt include mecha gs weakness of battery life, and many other battles. Alot of death battles ignore a weakness cause there really is no need for it cause it would actually be a very small factor and for this fight the factor was that jake had no defences against it and danny had other ways to win anyway like possession

[@themasterblaze7563]

Ngl, I don't think DB could skew the numbers on this one. I mean, it's hard to find a character that doesn't get bodied by Invisibility, Intangiblility, and Possesion wraped up in one bundle topped off with Energy progection and Cryo Manipulation.

[@Ando1428]

Well why i would like to say his fatigue is an issue you might be glossing over the fact in the finale danny who had recently regained his powers shot out a near omnidirectional one and was still in his ghost half to continue his endeavor. Even if you say he gained more power from the ghost he still had to project his most costly atk against every opponent that was there. It was definitely a large ammount. Considering ghost rays are relatively easy to shoot with most of the time no outwardly cost but heavy destruction he still blasted away all of them with his costly atk with no signs of strain afterward.

[@cyberwolfy37]

his ghostly wail should've been the finisher that vaporize Jake. it vaporized a army of animated christmas tree so it should be enough to vaporize Jake.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

@@cyberwolfy37 that's my main issue-if it's enough to vaporize ghosts it would be enough to WRECK Jake and it never should've been used as a once and done thing so soon in the fight.

[@suchyuga]

This was a lot better than I ex-spectered

[@newgirlde]

I love how it was portrayed and i knew Danny would win. Jake would totally be the aggressor. He's brash and hot-headed. In hus show he frequently acted without thinking and would have to deal with his actions or be balanced out by his team mates. He wouldn't have believed Danny, presumably cought in the act, even if he'd tried to explain himself. Danny probably wouldn't have seen him as a threat initially until he actually was hurt. More confused than anything but i am surprised he didnt try to explain himselfm. So i like the beginning. They were surprisingly matched. I felt Jake didnt get a fair shake since his specialty is hand to hand combat, but Danny played the strategy game well. It seemed Danny was trying to pull his punches at the start. I dont think Danny would have gone for a killing blow, but this is Death Battle after all.

[@TheGwopboyzprodigy]

Jake definitely was winning in hand to hand combat actually, Danny actually rarely went in for cqc unless he was caught off guard or felt as if he had the win. Laser blasts are his bread and butter

[@user-fg9oy3uo3h]

Miles Morales tried explaining himself to Static. No dice. Aang tried to explain himself towards Edward Elric. Fell on deaf ears.

[@user-fg9oy3uo3h]

JocofAllTrades Yes, Jake got the hand to hand combat and reflexes experiences though Danny has much more powers he can use. Also, the original most definitely phased away from his fiery death via the building just in time in order to surprise Jake from behind and the rest is history. Even if the flames did hit Danny, he endured a much more powerful fiery attack so there’s that as well.

[@infinablade1687]

Newgirlde Jake isn’t as hot headed as you think. Because in the episode for his Chinese family reunion (who are all dragons) he had that competition with his one cousin. And during the final one a shark lady came up wanting to talk with Jake about something and Jake saw how she was acting. His cousin right there was hot headed not Jake. Yes at first Jake was hot headed but later on in the series with the choices he had to make he became more level headed in those kinds of situations. But that only used Jake’s feats from season and mainly talked about no feats from season two which would have made this death battle more different. I am happy Danny won but I was actually rooting for Jake even though I grew up watching and loving both characters.

[@DragonSword35d]

Never mind the fact that Danny gets blamed for crap he didn’t do on a fairly regular basis.

[@titanx8331]

This was my favorite Death Battle episode. And it got better when you were reacting to it. Danny Phantom is my all time favorite! How did it feel knowing that Danny was so powerful than you originally thought?

[@ButchHartmanart]

I always knew Danny was powerful, I just didn't know that he could output that much energy. These death battle guys are amazing for doing the math like that.

[@OmniGman]

@Águila701 Many writers have their characters do something visually impressive without actually knowing the amount of energy required to pull off such feats in real life. I'm not knocking on the creators, mind you; pretty much every comic book, anime, video game, sci-fi, fantasy and cartoon writer ever does this. The math required to figure these things out is nuts (and boring as hell). As a result, they often don't realize just how powerful their own characters are when you actually sit down and crunch the numbers. For example, Jake blasting holes through those apartment walls doesn't sound that impressive compared to other fictional characters' feats until you do the math and realize he just casually expelled multi-tons worth of TNT in a single breath. No writer in their right mind actually does the math for every feat their character does. Not only would it be ridiculously time-consuming, but nothing kills creativity like forcing everything to fit within certain parameters. For example: "Wouldn't it be cool if the hero catches that falling stone pillar! Oh, wait. The pillar is roughly (X) tons, which is well within his established strength limit, but it's free-falling from high enough to reach terminal velocity, which according to this complex mathematical equation, means it actually equals (X * 10) tons. Darn. Guess I'll just have to rewrite that scene!" … said no fiction writer ever!
