[@thethundernado6670]

Spoiler alert: The samurai won.

[@blondeguyaiden3379]

They're both samurais

[@JeSsE10mCcOy11]

Which one?

[@Zach-Reacts]

Correction: The Ronin wins, because neither of them are technically samurai

[@christiancrusader9374]

ZachReacts that's true, neither of them have masters, and while Jack is more honorable, he denied himself (what's the word for ritual suicide to restore your honor again?)

[@TubezThe1]

christian crusader Seppuku. Yeah, that was really disturbing when I first saw it

[@SpectralStar]

This was the best rendition of "A Farewell to Arms" I've ever seen.

[@iceheart6480]

I swear I can hear your Ruby chibi say "Now that's a katana!"

[@justinsigler1565]

Does ruby have object fetish

[@multiverse_media2023]

I understood that reference

[@cassidymiller3224]

Boomsticks: So... Like... Is he going to get his arm back? Amber: *no*

[@AmateurAnimations65]

This isn't the first cartoon animation death battle. I belief Smokey vs McGruff was the first

[@blackdarkness6798]

ShadowNathan 777 Yup

[@fictionfan0]

Huh, I'd forgotten about that. Then again, it wasn't one of my favorite episodes, so...

[@spectrefall99]

fictionfan0 same

[@beb7435]

fictionfan0 same, for some reason I was raging bc my favorite character (I don’t wanna spoil it for anyone who didn’t watch it) lost

[@justinsigler1565]

Jack now wears the number 2 headband

[@spectrefall99]

Well next episode will be bloody as hell

[@beb7435]

Y e p

[@Ahturos]

Great reaction. Yeah I love Samurai Jack. I just wanted a awesome fight and they made it 2D, nice. Afro seemed cool too. I am glad I got to know more about him.

[@Cloud-zb8lw]

Jack can you get up here and gimme a hand ?

[@arnaldoalange3869]

傭兵Cloud But at least You killed Guts so.... Yeah...

[@anonymouscontributor1520]

*Jumps Good and drops off arm*

After getting beaten by link.

[@HispanicAlucard]

That intro was adorable how have i not heard of you sooner?

[@scorchingemblem7873]

You were wrong, this is NOT the first Death Battle featuring hand drawn animation, the first one was Smokey the Bear VS McGruff the Crime Dog.

[@thethundernado6670]

I watched a lot a reactors react to this death battle, so far your reaction is my favorite.

[@prestonjones1653]

Puppers in the intro? Never heard of you before but you have earned a like and sub.

[@frickroll]

Just letting you know, the first hand-drawn battle was Smokey vs McGruff. Remember that one?

[@KingRock9717]

Gotta give a "hand" to Jack he got the job done :3

[@blkshredder-x5681]

Did u also see he took the #1 headband too? ..😏

[@KingRock9717]

@@blkshredder-x5681 Yep

[@MarcSola7]

"I could be wrong but this might be the first 2D Animation." And you are wrong Amber, the first 2D Animation is Smokey VS McGruff.

[@Hiryuu324]

Gotta get back Back to the past SAMURAI JACK

[@vick7868]

This is actually the SECOND truly 2D one. Remember Smokey vs McGruff?

[@nickthedreamer4434]

Smokey the Bear vs Scruff MgGruff was the first hand-drawn battle.

[@aryananand4926]

Lucy vs Carnage would be interesting, not gonna lie. I know that Lucy has those invisible hands on her back ("Vectors" or something like that) and Carnage is supposedly unbreakable. But that's about it.

[@jakiebear376]

Wait can lucy cute carnage head of, you know those thing are deadly

[@blondeguyaiden3379]

You mean cut right

[@aryananand4926]

Demon Light that's what I'm unsure of.

[@griffinbaxter4754]

Demon Light Carnage has literally been torn in half and left in the vacuum of space by Marvel’s Superman The Sentry and survived, and that’s not even taking into account the time he literally had the powers of a Cthulhu like god on his side. I admit I know very little about Lucy but she has a very tough road ahead of her if she has any hope of beating the maniac so insane even the Joker was startled by him.

[@blondeguyaiden3379]

I think Carnage is going to win, it's my personal opinion, I know Carnage more than Lucy

[@CodyBeybladeMaster9560]

Samurai Jack VS Afro Samurai animation is like Mcgruff VS Smokey

[@Keychan64]

Damn you did this fast holy shot

[@superkamiguru9160]

I’m new here in the channel and I gotta say: greatest intro I ever seen

[@zacharyjoy8724]

18:45 Yeah. Brutality and serious psychosis. And if you know Lucy, you know her backstory will give Guts’ history competition for gruesome WTF-ness. Oh, and great job for Jack, too! Happy nostalgia, right there!

[@Th3Nexus]

SJ vs. AN wasn't the first. The earliest 2D DB I can remember is McGruff the crime dog vs. Smokey the bear.

[@FreelancerAmber]

I forgot about that

[@fictionfan0]

+WHITESTRIPE99 Ehhhhhhh... A little on the crude side of things, if you ask me.

[@thelordofchaos6470]

Add to that the rematch of Mario Vs Sonic in the season 5, Deadpool Vs The Mask in the Season 6 and War Machine Vs Genos in the season 7.

[@Lordgaga160]

The biggest missed opportunity was afro trying to kill Jack with his own sword but just 'dings' off him. And jack killing him as he looked on surpised.

[@andresmarrero8666]

Lordgaga160 I couldn't tell whose sword was whose.

[@flaremawile726]

7:46 Jack: Who else wants some!? Me: Not Me. 😅

[@gageunruh3574]

Smokey bear vs the dog was the first hand drawn death battle.

[@nifinland]

Oooooo Gooooood… M-rating's not enough for the next match.

[@iceheart6480]

nifinland this episode is not NOT RATED.

[@nifinland]

Or as a Camp Camp reference: Rated Z.

[@pocholoyanes6604]

Is she/he a girl?

[@nifinland]

Lucy is a girl, a genetically mutated human breed.

[@pocholoyanes6604]

I KNEW IT😂

[@C.E.A.S.R]

Fun Fact: Samurai Jack looks like Professor Utonium from Powerpuff Girls!

[@AlexisDevilman]

Elfen Lied is part of my childhood alongside Spider-Man's shows at the time. Also, Lucy doesn't have cat ears, those are horns of cartilage and bone. Great reaction by the way!

[@TheKaizoMario]

You know what's scary, the fact that you watched it when you were young.

[@Omegafire17]

I'm sure this has been said before, but actually the episode where Jack learns to 'jump good', wasn't at the end of Season 4, but the 'first episode' of Season Two :P ^There's a lot more after that, even before Season 5 really amped up things

[@zacharyjoy8724]

Having checked your playlists, I’m guessing you haven’t reacted to all of Death Battle. And maybe you won’t. Kind of a pity, though. Because one in particular from Season Two is widely known in the reaction community, namely for reactors who don’t know one particular backstory. I am, of course, referring to Guts vs. Nightmare. I don’t know how much you know about these two characters, but trust me, Guts’ story is serious reaction fuel. Just throwing it out there. And hoping.

[@DjZeroGalactica]

Amazing Reaction Amber😄

[@matth13767]

You may have gotten your answer after this episode, but that fight was done by the traditional hand-drawn animation, just like the way the Samurai Jack cartoon was done.

[@stevenzupo6861]

All I know, is that the next death battle is going to be even gorier then the Wolverine VS Raiden Death Battle.

[@blackdarkness6798]

Steven Zupo That still cant describe the bloodiness of the next battle

[@stevenzupo6861]

Blackdarkness 679 what do you mean? Just curious.

[@blackdarkness6798]

Steven Zupo The next fight is gonna be so bloody that none will compare to it and that words cant describe ot how much gore it will have

[@stevenzupo6861]

Blackdarkness 679 Yeah this is going to be a bloodbath of the century

[@andresmarrero8666]

Steven Zupo and the Joker will probably be enjoying every minute of it.

[@gavinbunting7354]

For the next time, I was originally all carnage, but I looked up more of Lucy, and found that she’s actually stronger than carnage.

[@zzskyninjazz1821]

Amber there was a 2D Battle before. Smokey vs McGruff

[@yangtheinsane5430]

Afro got the wrong type of cut

[@justaguy2701]

Al Gundy is actually an experiment of Wiz's that went wrong and escaped and somehow befriended Boomstick

[@neocyndaquil]

First 2D animation? What about Smokey vs McGruff?

[@alistairmcdiarmid7900]

smokey vs McGruff was the first 2D animation Death Battle unless you mean this season

[@FreelancerAmber]

I forgot about that

[@The8WorldKing]

Well that was fucking quick Amber 😂😂😂

[@IronHawk96]

I feel sorry for the janitor who has to clean up the results of the next fight.

[@AnimezingPersonAP]

16:08 Jack was certainly... Armed and Ready.

[@multiverse_media2023]

Goddamnit, Yang!

[@michaelaburns734]

Samurai Jack was a a Cartoon Network show then Adult Swim after that Freelancer and Season 5 is on a complete box set

[@balfanghellfire]

Afro Samurai was Adult Swim.

[@TheKosior]

I think that phrase that will describe next death battle will be: maximum brutality on both sides.

[@shadowwriter329]

Actually this is the second time they did this animation style. The first was Mcgruff the crime hound vs Smokey the bear.

[@jareddannels9298]

Freelancer Amber, I agree. Ninja Ninja's gonna be the reason I start watching Afro Samurai.

[@axels3188]

This was a good episode.

[@spectralslayer151]

The way Amber said “samurai” during the beginning of the Death Battle vid was cute.

[@masonmancoffey1722]

This was a cool reaction

[@marshallpires4573]

20:08 Yeah. That's how I figured that Venom would beat Bane. Carnage and Venom are very similar so I thought about what it would be like for Carnage to be fighting Bane.

[@mechasaurus]

Dang it! I filed a request for Carnage to fight James Heller or Alex Mercer. How did they get swapped out for Lucy?

[@lop90ful1]

Eh lucy is cool

[@nifinland]

I made a request for Nui Harime being Carnage's opponent. But I think here's why this match up was chosen: there's not that many characters that can keep up with someone as ridicilously powerful and insane as Carnage. And in retrospect, Nui wouldn't have any means to put Carnage down for good and vice versa. And while Lucy certainly is a formidable foe against almost anyone with those 2 meter vectors that can cut solid objects like butter, her signature killing method only puts her as a sitting duck for Carnage, who survived when Sentry ripped him half. Aside from those vectors, the rest of Lucy's body is as vurnerable as those of an ordinary human.

[@mechasaurus]

All the more reason why i suggested one of Prototype's protagonists. Setting in New York, flesh weaponry, lots of blood and destruction in their wake, and little to no reason to consider mercy. This is purely for the bloodshed, not for a near equal clash.

[@nifinland]

Cole MacGrath is at this point the likeliest opponent for the shapeshifting fuckhead since [PROTOTYPE] and inFAMOUS have been rival games since the day one. DB goes with rival matches as often as possible. I mean, seriously, why else there are matches like Mario vs. Sonic, Crash vs. Spyro and Leonardo vs. Zitz?

[@andresmarrero8666]

nifinland apparently she has a lot of arms and they can go way further than 2 meters, far enough to completely incase the world and to go straight into space.

[@videogamenerd1991]

From Samurai Jack's character dossier, 70% the speed of light is 469,420,000 miles per hour! And the speed of light is 670,600,000 miles per hour, so for Afro Samurai to literally block that beam...holy shit!

[@iceheart6480]

I think the first 2D battle was Smokey vs Mcgruff

[@ShiningSilvally]

I'm guessing that you are part of the Advantage program?

[@chakinabox]

I am legitimately scared of the next Death Battle 0.o

[@nifinland]

ScrewAttack couldn't have casted more propriate voices for these characters in the next match. Chris Guerrero already voiced Venom in his match so it's not surprise he can do good voice work as Carnage and who would be better voice for Lucy than the lady that voiced Painwheel from Skullgirls?

[@KalinaHitanaVTuber]

I really don't know much about what Carnage is capable of, so I can't comment too much. As for Lucy's "cat ears" I believe those are her Vectors (at least, I think that's what they're called, it's been some time since I saw Elfen Lied). Basically, you get within the Vectors' range, you're gonna get diced into tiny pieces within seconds (and in an incredibly graphic, gory way too)

[@nifinland]

Vectors are invisible arms. Those things on diclonii heads are horns.

[@anthonekaking4034]

Wait freelancer Amber you play for Honor?

[@animebro14]

HOLY SHIT CARNAGE VS LUCY? I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT

[@donaldpack402]

I know one thing about the carnage and Lucy battle it’s gonna be a big bloody mess, and I ain’t cleaning it up.

[@nifinland]

Yeah, not even Kenshiro leaves that kinda mess when he kills people.

[@adambump5297]

More like 'Honor thy Father' for both Jack and Afro.

[@ForsakenMemories45]

From my limited knowledge of Elfen Lied, Lucy's powers are psychic-based. I'm planning on gorging the series as fast as possible so that I know where DB will inevitably mess up when it comes to anime characters (serious, Toph beats Gaara? Come DB, what you smokin?), but if her powers are psychic and have no delay other than her speed of thought, Carnage is done.

[@superwereduck5477]

You wanna check out a good and funny lady/lady fight? Check out Ivy (Soul Edge/Caliber) vs Black Orchid (killer Instinct). OR, Chun-LI (Street Fighter) vs Mai Shiranui (Fatal Fury).

[@starolu7347]

14:39 Smokey Bear vs Mcgruff just to clarify.

[@VexedCastle]

Actually I’m pretty sure Smokey vs Mcgruff was the first animated fight

[@spectrefall99]

Am I the only one who thinks ninja ninja sounds like Samuel L Jackson

[@A_Name_On_YT]

That's probably because he is voiced by Sam Jackson

[@mehmeh6442]

It is

[@spectrefall99]

Wow

[@rararasputin8608]

He's done Ninja Ninja in Afro Samurai, Officer Tenpenny in GTA: SA, etc. All in all, an array of roles.

[@Princ3R0se]

He is

[@lucifertheangelofdeath1169]

Awesome fight! Also my money’s on carnage. The devil’s pet symbiote for the win.

[@PK_SNESS]

Nice voice you got there

[@danielconklinjr.5061]

I am hoping Lucy wins next battle but highly doubt it she had so little screen time cause elven leid wasnt a long show so there may not be many feats to go by

[@andresmarrero8666]

DJ Panda they are probably going to pull from the manga.

[@gumballviking9102]

As always, Ruby is happy to be here.

[@maxgoose707]

this is the second animated. the first was smokey vs that dog guy

[@warryarusboi]

So... I suppose Samuraï Jack made the *cut* ?

[@gavinbunting7354]

I’m with you on the next time, I don’t think Lucy stands a chance, even though I don’t know carnage.

[@curleyhead1229]

You should totally watch “Wakfu” if you haven’t already

[@Ok-yn9uo]

Samurai jack and yang now have something in common

[@epsyblue7714]

Actually, those things on Lucy's head are horns.

[@Kalenz1234]

That opening was so cute x3

[@MiniorinVR]

11:30 I need the music please

[@a.tlesbianloli3886]

gotta get back, back too the past samurai jack

[@andrewabbey3669]

1st handdrawn was Smokey vs McGruff though this is #2

[@kylecocciante4362]

Gotta get back. Back to the past, Samurai Jack, WACHAA.

[@SonicxAmy2320]

My boy Jack is da man!! Was rooting for him all the way!

[@themonsterking1538]

Smokey vs McGruff was hand animated. Also, I am assuming by not making it past the opening, you mean boobies. You can only have a front tail to gain access to the anime.

[@kdashthedarkhero]

I just watch all 13 episodes of elfen lied today and I have lost words and I'm so frightened rn and btw YES JACK WON, I KNEW HE WAS GONNA WIN

[@nifinland]

Good luck seeing Fairy Tail's Ur in the same way after witnessing Elfen Lied.

[@danieltorres3185]

I watch Afro samurai because of ninja ninja and it was worth it since Sam l Jackson voiced Afro and ninja ninja

[@reptisaurusking8494]

This was all done in hand drawn

[@Pastamist]

Where my Carnage vs Lucy squad at!?

[@MrBrownpridersur13]

You should watch guts vs nightmare death battle

[@Berry_Waves]

I wonder if someone can give "A hand " to afro ?

[@fictionrumble]

looks like afro got cut up into SUSHI

[@ants7279]

Awww so Chubby little BowWow!!

[@ibukimioda4646]

They should really do *WEISS SCHNEE vs SHOTO TODOROKI* (RWBY VS My Hero Academia).

[@carnagefreehugs115]

Ibuki Mioda oooooh they both have the same ice and mean dad's

[@Much_Ado]

Afro Samurai just couldn't make the cut

[@ch3stnutfh416]

Smokey vs mcgruff was 2D

[@Xzilesenju]

PERFECT

[@darksonicyt5430]

Guys I’m gonna spoil and be a dick. The samurai with a sword wins

[@sanjaykumarjena6760]

Master of swords for me is zoro and erza

[@virgilconstantines8846]

Love your eevee hat
