I love Renegades because they actually get the references and don't fake reactions.

Ash: Better flow, rhymes, and visuals Darwin: WAY better disses and lines Oak: Gave wood to Ashes mother

[@neo3888]

They're rapping against each other not just because of that evolution thing. They both roam around the world to catch and study animals. They also have lost a family member too.

I almost didn't notice that Nate's Mic wasn't working because of how loud he speaks.

[@sayospecter6731]

I think it came out pretty close, even though Darwin won by a little margin due to his final burn. Gotta give props to Ash for throwing the "TB and Scarlet Fever; gotta catch 'em all!" line though, it's extremely savage if you know Darwin's history...

[@pantherlily3877]

Naoto Akashosu the cousins genepool line didnt win it for ash?

Nah bringing up real tragedy like that doesn't make you savage that kinda stuff is easy to diss on

[@GangBanger3000]

@@thedevilsconcubine Bringing it up doesn't make you savage, it's how you bring it up. And he did it in an extremely creative way, it's not unlike Cleopatra's "you lost so many babies we should call you Misscarriage" or Clint Eastwood's "No one in your family ever lives to see a sequel" lines. It's creative and hits where it hurts most. That's savage at it's finest.

[@dominiccampbell181]

[@FizzyK-45]

For me, it's kind of a tie. Darwin has better lines but Ash has a better flow.

[@itsallfunky4591]

Yeah, the "You couldn't turn 11" line didn't even rhyme.

[@calebboersma4717]

+That1Weirdo "Fight" and "Type" don't rhyme either. The majority of raps don't. They often cheat the system.

[@jojovox]

Yeah, they kinda force the words to rhyme

[@itsallfunky4591]

Little Lamb Caleb It's a half rhyme, another type of rhyme is matching the same vowels in both words. While a "Y" is not trully a bowel it sounds like one, and the e is silent in that word. So we get. Fait - Taip phonetically. The line I said is not even close. And it's such a flow breaker I can't even fathom how it got to the final product.

[@calebboersma4717]

+That1Weirdo Rhyming has nothing to do with vowels, only the way the word sounds. Even in that case, "Stat" and "Fast" do not have matching vowels in the same area of rhyme, and neither does the addition of "ass".

[@OtomostheCrazy]

12:40 Okay, this is coming from a Pokemon fan, but here's the thing, the Pokemon in the show have all been shown to willingly fight. It's like boxing, a person is trained to fight another person for entertainment and sport. The same is with Pokemon, and they can even make a decision to disobey.

[@MonHunJ]

The story of Black/White was actually centered around this issue, and did a pretty good job explaining why humans and Pokémon live together the way they do.

[@chuugummy975]

OtomostheCrazy THANK YOU. This is exactly what I was thinking. xD

[@jojovox]

This is exactly what I said. ALSO Darwin's final line is just a fantheory. It isn't really something against Ash, because it isn't really confirmed. While Darwin ACTUALLY married and had kids with his cousin. He lost 3 of his kids to tuberculosis and scarlet fever as well. Im gonna stand my ground on saying Ash won this one. But I will say it was a close battle!

Pokemon Evolution is actually Metamorphosis, but Pokemons lore say that all pokemons come from mew which suggests evolution

[@rpgfanatic9719]

Evolution is just a change over time, experience points to evolve and friendship gain is a matter of time, therefore evolution, the evolution definition you're thinking of is a scientific one.

[@ryuko4478]

@@rpgfanatic9719 god this comment is 5 years old I used to be such a pedant, you are correct I was pretending the scientific definition is the only definition. though to be fair to my old self when used with living creatures it does usually mean the scientific evolution, a word like transformation or metamorphosis would have been a more accurate term in Pokemon but evolution does sound cooler so who not a big deal.

Well actually, if Gary is Prof. Oak's grandson, then if Oak married Ash's mom then, Ash would be Gary's uncle.

[@telleqwin7266]

Yay someone else said it as well, if this doesn't make sense to other people it's simple Oak's son would be Ash's brother in law and then Garry would be Ashes nephew.

[@damonestephens8722]

Ash won it with the gotta catch em all bar. The professor oak bar was expected so it didn’t hit as hard. It was just funny.

[@VampiricDarkDragon]

6:42 The "deathbed confession" turned out to be a lie by Lady Hope, as Darwin's own family and Jason Moore had stated that she never visited him. Helps that this "confession" was only first reported over 3 decades after his death in a baptist newspaper.

[@MasterTMO]

I liked watching your reaction to this because I never got into Pokemon, any version. So while I *understood* all of Darwin's hits and Ash's boasts, they didn't really mean anything to me. Seeing what got a reaction from you all helped clarify the rap for me. Thanks!

[@ForeverDegenerate]

+Renegades React If I may make a suggestion for future recording sessions? Run a mic check before starting the recording. Like do a one minute test recording and listen back to it to make sure all the mics work properly before recording the session. You've had way too many sessions where one mic doesn't work and it's usually Micah or Nate. It's worse when it's Micah's mic that doesn't work because he is so soft spoken.

[@riptoor2183]

hey renegades ive watched you guys since 20k subs its amazing how much you guys have grown keep up the good work!

[@gramps3351]

i'm suprised you guys didn't notice the "i've yet to catch a ghost type" line

[@laikamaxxing]

An extremely underrated line.

[@FuzeBM]

Nate did Rooster Teeth manually claim the videos or was it the KZbin auto claim system ?

[@Astrela1]

they manually did. it was stated in their last rwby reaction

[@skarnecanius8737]

they were wrong. plain and simple, Roosterteeth has said that if the video shows on youtube on their channel, Then they're free to react to it. KZbins autoclaim system just grabbed them. If they actually contacted roosterteeth, they would find this out themselves.

[@deathlegionair]

Skarne Canius yep.. thats why amber and all the others are still up.

[@FuzeBM]

Star-Night gaming But why would they claim only their videos rooster teeth is a reaction friendly company

[@skarnecanius8737]

The youtube spambot did it people.

I didn't get the Line in which Darwin says: Mighty Morphin Michael Vick

[@iprobablydislikeyou2735]

El Sicario Elle :v Michael Vick was an African-American man who forced his dogs to fight each other for his own entertainment and got arrested for it. Darwin called Ash that as animal rights activists have criticized Pokemon for supporting the abuse of animals(you know the whole Pokemons fighting each other thing).

[@markangelogarcia2584]

did anyone notice that Nate was not talking in the microphone

[@joshuana5132]

Looked it up, and you're mistaken on somethin'. That sister you mentioned Ash liked isn't Gary's sister. She's Blue's sister. Blue and Gary are different grandchildren for Professor Oak.

[@VigilanceOfSilver]

You and Micah are both wrong. In the Manga the main character is Red, not Ash. They're different canons. Ash and Gary don't exist in the manga, Blue and Red don't exist in the anime.

[@joshuana5132]

You're mistaken on that, but only partially. They do exist in the same world. Buuut, they are indeed different people.

[@300IQPrower]

Okay I didn't say anything in the nostalgia critic video, but since you pressed on it I'll say it in this: Ash Williams or any human would DIE fighting a pikachu. A regular pikachu mathematically can discharge on average up to 500 amps into a person. Half an amp is lethal. Oh and ash's pikachu is stronger, much faster, and has WAY more electrical power than a normal pikachu.

[@ventilated6443]

Ash... has a shotgun... He's defeated things A LOT WORSE than a lighting mouse...

[@300IQPrower]

Sarcasm at its finest first off something that can survive explosions point blank can survive a shotgun blast. Second off electricity travels faster than human reflexes. Third off killing demons and the like is not comparable to fighting elemental beasts of nature. Also Pikachu can move faster than the eye can see, can break boulders with its tail, and break through magical and psychic barriers. It's a lot more than an electrical mouse.

[@ventilated6443]

+300-I.Q. Prower Ash Williams was able to kill most of the Marvel Universe, before being killed by Howard The Duck... I think he can kill one special Pokémon.

[@300IQPrower]

Sarcasm at its finest yeah but is that part of the main evil dead series? Also multiple people have killed most of the marvel universe, whenever that happens marvel conveniently forget about its most powerful characters or the limitations of whatever character is doing the killing. That's why Deadpool DID kill the entire marvel universe. That doesn't make him stronger than the hulk, faster than Sentry, or more powerful than Dr. Strange.

[@ventilated6443]

+300-I.Q. Prower Punisher killed the Marvel Universe... and he just had his guns, and a nuke he stole from Dr. Doom,
