"Can this be? My heart's beating so fast, my muscles ache, I can feel them again! I never thought it would happen... a serious fight. I FOUND IT!!! Thank you, weird Spinach mascot." The perfect episode to end the season.

[@eon1014]

Actually, I think they kept shifting through the different art/animation styles to celebrate the past episodes that used them. I mean, it IS the grand finale of the 10-year anniversary season, after all.

The toon force can be applied to people who don't have it. Space jam proved it when a regular human got turned into a pancake. But the human couldn't get restored unless a toon helped them. So he could still be alive. But don't get me wrong he did lose the fight. He just didn't die in the normal way, he was turned to eggs.

[@ReikokuXTaifuu]

Honestly Tanjiro vs Jonathan feels... weird? Like, two of the biggest good boys in shonen anime, I get it. The death battle would be decided by both of them going "no, I insist, you make the first move" until one of them keels over from starvation. When I saw the preview, Tanjiro is one of the few I was able to make out. I told my girlfriend that he would be in next season and she suggested he should fight Inuyasha. I think that would be a good one. Shonen protag demon slayer vs shonen protag demon. Plus both of their series are more based in "reality" than a lot other anime. Like people aren't destroying planets or completely shattering reality on a daily basis.

[@isaiahgarraway5568]

Pretty much everyone knew this outcome because of toon force and saitama having no fucking idea of his new peak if he has any.

The Most Best Epic Battle! 🥳 Saitama finally found the strongest opponent with who he had always dreamed of fighting! He was able to experience strong emotions again, as at the very beginning of his path to becoming a hero! Sad he is died and turned in Egg ... since this is Death Battle 😕, but Popeye's ToonForce is so absurd that he can revive Saitama anytime he wants!😀

[@marcelinovazquez5128]

Off topic but are you thinking of eventually doing renders for every Death Battle?

[@Redrunner613]

definitely not full body renders like I did for this season, at least not anytime soon.

[@mas8705]

I feel like Jinx is going up against Harley Quinn. Junkrat would be interesting but it does feel like Jinx probably would out "explosive" him with the variety of weapons at her disposal (whereas you could bet Quinn would probably have a field day messing with Jinx as soon as she figures out her deal). Kind of feels like with the amount of individuals Harley has fought (and how Jinx didn't really showcase her full potential yet and probably would have the Ekko fight count against her), it could become one sided, but would still be a fun match to watch.

[@RikoZerame]

Jinx might outdo Junkrat in sheer variety, but Junkrat (and Roadhog) sat in the middle of an explosion that leveled a warehouse and came out fine. She might not have anything to put him down.

[@Redrunner613]

@@RikoZerame Ik it's very possible to scale Jinx to other Champions, which could get her higher than that explosion, I think it was like, Town or something, scaling through to Malphite. and it's unfair to downscale her from Ekko since that's at the start of both of their tenor's, before Jinx has her full arsenal, and before Ekko even has his time powers. Also I'm not sure Jinx really has those same weaknesses to exploit anymore, in-game she doesn't care about getting called Powder anymore.

[@zackrose6261]

Jinx is also essentially a super human because of shimmer.

[@Redrunner613]

@@zackrose6261 While you're right, I find it really weird how people act like Arcane is the only place to draw info from, when she scales to people in the actual game of League of Legends, which is just a lot more impressive than anything shown in Arcane, which for now is pretty grounded.

[@RikoZerame]

@@Redrunner613 Gameplay hasn't been canon to League since the Summoners retcon. Jinx and Malphite have never met, and fighting a literal living mountain would be so massively above literally everything else Jinx has ever done--including the canon comic where she met Ziggs--that it should be discarded as an outlier even if she had canonically fought Malphite in a meaningful way. People mostly cite Arcane because it's the biggest chunk of lore the characters have had in a while, and everything indicates it's the direction they're sticking with for now, what with the exclusive skins, Wild Rift events, and Arcane's lore and characterizations better matching the new Piltover/Zaun relationship than the old stuff.
