Top 20 most UNFAIR Death Battles (by their own logic)

[@nemesisbloodryche22]

Here are some episodes that could've made it depending on what you went with: Captain Falcon VS Johnny Cage. This episode would've made it but they outright talk about and debunk the scaling used, and don't actively go into it. However if you go with Falcon scaling to Black Shadow at 100 Megatons VS Johnny scaling to Raiden at 270 Tons of TNT, then the difference is 370,370 times. Which would be the 18th biggest stomp. Dracula VS Ganondorf. They compare them to planet and universal power sources but it's super weird because they just compare that to the size of the batteries they'd have access to. Not overall power. Some might want to go with it for power though idk. If anybody is curious here are some of the battles that didn't quite make it onto the list: Static Shock VS Miles Morales (Town VS Town): 4 Kilotons VS 2 Kilotons, 2 times difference. Spider-Gwen VS Batgirl (Multi-City Block VS Multi-City Block) : 124 tons of tnt vs 58 Tons of TNT, roughly 2 times difference. Hiei VS Sasuke (Planet VS Planet): 142 Zettatons (Halving the feat due to there being two people) VS 63.5 Zettatons (In the corner they mention Sasuke would've had 1/4 of a Hagoromo feat), 2.23 times difference. If you use the smaller Sasuke numbers this would get around 10,000 times difference. Ryu VS Jin (Mountain VS Mountain): 400 Megatons VS 100 Megatons, 4 times difference. Aang VS Edward Elric (Large Town VS Town): 160 Kilotons VS 30 Kilotons, 5.3 times difference. Green Lantern VS Ben 10 (Low Multiversal VS Universal): 10 Times Universal VS Universal, 10 times difference. Tatsumaki VS Mob (Large Island VS Island): 470 Gigatons VS 30 Gigatons, 15.6 times difference. Naruto VS Ichigo (Multi-Continent VS Multi-Continent): 27 Exatons VS 440 Petatons, 61 times difference. Danny Phantom VS Jake Long (Town VS Multi-City Block): 7 Kilotons VS 30 Tons of TNT, 233 times difference. Mitsuru VS Weisss (Town VS Multi-City Block): 60 Kilotons VS 250 Tons of TNT, 240 times difference. Lucy VS Carnage (Town VS Multi-City Block): 31 Kilotons VS 125 Tons of TNT, 248 times difference. Hiehachi VS Geese (Large Island VS Large Mountain): 800 Gigatons VS 1.8 Gigatons, 444 times difference. Machamp VS Goro (Large Town VS Multi-City Block): 130 Kilotons VS 270 Tons, 481 times difference. Esdeath VS Gray (Multi-Continent VS Country): 93 Petatons VS 50 Teratons, 1860 times difference. Shadow VS Ryuko (Large Planet VS Small Planet): 2.8 Yottatons VS 658.72 Exatons, 4287 times difference.

They never said the omnitrix wouldn't be fast enough to transform him before limb removal, they said it technically hadn't shown direct defense from limb removal.

My biggest annoyance of that fight is that they didn’t take the abilities of the Omnitrix itself into account. The device itself outright _cannot_ be removed by force, including chopping of the user’s arm. It will do everything in its power to prevent that from occurring. In this case, it would probably turn Ben into Goop. It requires a number of specific overrides to be said, by either it’s creator or user, to actually come off. That, and they used COMPOUNDED versions of the characters, notably having a Classic Era Ben with a Final Model Omnitrix and a Hal with *checks notes* _literally every ability every rendition of the character has, along with feats of alternate Lanturns that Hal has literally never been shown to be capable of._ Beyond that, Ben should just stomp, because of the Omnitrix he’s basically immune to anything Hal could throw at him thanks solely to the Omnitrix’s failsafes.

[@n0wheregrrl]

The truly most unfair, somewhat surprisingly, was Darkseid vs. Thanos. And I mean, by far. The reason has nothing to do with specific calculations as such but rather simply the fact that Thanos needs the Infinity Gauntlet to be able to compete with Darkseid, and the only way to win a Death Battle is to kill your opponent. Since the only way to truly kill Darkseid is to confront and somehow destroy his true form in the Fourth World, and since the Infinity Gauntlet canonically only works in its own universe, that's ... it. It's just over. Like, sure, Thanos could remain in his own universe for an arbitrarily long time and avoid dying at Darkseid's hands as long as he retains the Infinity Gauntlet, but he could never win that way as winning is only possible by killing your opponent. At best, Thanos could try to stalemate indefinitely by avoiding confronting True Darkseid in the Fourth World, but given an infinite amount of time, the odds of him being somehow separated from the Infinity Gauntlet and/or tricked into the Fourth World also begin to approach infinity. Literally, the problem with that fight is that only one of them had _any way whatsoever_ to fulfill the win condition of "kill your opponent." In most Death Battles, the loser "could" conceivably win but just would be unlikely to, but in that one, it was actually _impossible_ for the loser to win. _Ever._

Basically all 4 Alicorn princesses Celestia, Luna, Crystal, and Twilight are demi-goddesses that are basically to an extent the physical representations of a aspect of Equestria, Celestia represents the sun, Luna Celestia's sister represents the moon, Crystal who is also Twilight's sister-in-law via marrying Shining Armor Twilight's brother represents love, and Twilight herself represents magic and thus has abilities connected to said aspect they represent and in Twilight's case this means a near-unlimited magic pool to draw from the only this ultra-massive magic pool gets drained is by someone who is equal to Twilight in power, and the ability sense magic, and if need be seal someone's magic away though she only does the magic sealing as a last resort, she's also got near-unlimited stamina as in her battles against Sunset Shimmer, and her evil alternate counterpart Midnight Sparkle Twilight was stated to be able to battle for as long as she wanted to. As for what they barely touch upon the battle against Tirek that temporary boost was nothing to scoff at as when Celestia, Luna, and Crystal temporarily gave Twilight their powers that meant they also gave Twilight the abilities, and powers connected to the aspects they represent which Twlight could also manipulate the sun, manipulate the moon, and control the aspect of love, and also the fight against Tirek showed that Twilight via her training with Rainbow Dash is a decent martial-artist. Twilight is also a tactical genius, and a master detective, along with being able to use her spells, and powers in very creative ways this is due to Twilight being really really intelligent. And as for Rainbow Dash being able to beat Starscream DB clearly stated that was Gen 1 Starscream who is a cowardly idiot meaning yeah Rainbow Dash would have no issues taking him down now Armada/Micron Starscream, and Cybertron/Galaxy Force Starscream that's a different story as those versions aren't just cunning individuals they're also decent warriors in their own right.

His only noteworthy ability is speed, and Flash is faster as well as more versatile.

Here's a bit of a funky one. Sam Fisher vs Solid Snake. While not unfair by simply a raw statistic that one excels at, it's unfair by the simple fact that Snake has had access to commanding the sun to kill people, Octocamo, a suit that prevents thermals from seeing him, thermals of his own, and just... the Big Boss mask. Sam Fisher, meanwhile, is the epitome of an average guy. He may be an amazing espionage operative, but Snake simply has an answer for anything Sam can do. Even considering Sam's bullet-time-like ability seen in the later games, Snake's durability is far beyond what a normal man should have access to. The only potential way for Sam to win, would be by preparing a trap and using it (without seeing him bc BB mask) to maybe do a bit of damage to Snake.

[@notmyregularemail8434]

Sam's Footprint tracker wasn't taken into consideration either (Blacklist), he should of not fell for the Box. There was never really anything asides TPP confirming the Sneaking Suit silences footsteps, but NOT that it'd leave foot prints. Based on design alone from what was known, Fisher had more gadgets that would make it easier to track (along with equipment to hear easier, which was not showcased at all). Now Snake WOULD win regardless, but I feel like this should've been a battle of who can out-stealth each other, with most of the important equipment (INCLUDING the following goggles: EMF, Sonar, Ambient Sonar), all of which are outright not thermal. Even Snake is unable to control his breathe like his buddy "Quiet" in TPP. I don't know the whole strength and speed stats the dude in the video is talking about (I haven't watched DB since this one), but Fisher *should've* won until he made a mistake where as Snake wasn't going to make a mistake unless he ended up on the hunt for Fisher. With the gun scene, I also believe Fisher could've had his magnetic crossbow which would've taken Snake out the fight even with his resiliencies.

[@anonanonymous1988]

It was an anime character vs. a character derived from novels based on realistic depictions of actual real-life operators.

@@DragoonCenten I'll give you that, that is true of Kenshiro. But there is a lot of strange physics behind being able to stop time to circumvent the speed of causality.

Also, Jotaro's stand being able to essentially quantum tunnel into other human beings is nothing to be taking lightly. Also-also, Star Platinum is special apart from The World in that it has an S Rating Adaptability, and that potentiality was passed entirely. I know that "Fist of the North Star" came first, but jotaro was not given a fair Death Battle assessment. It was unfairly one-sided. That's the point of the video. We needed a Time Stop during 100 Crack Fist to adequately see the interaction, and if JoJo can stop time as he's being barbequed/crush by falling Road Roallers, a Time Stop during 100 Crack Fist is to be expected on some level.

[@Xurreal]

@@DragoonCenten Yes I do. You're not telling any lies. The Death Battle Scenario drops both contestants at their peaks into 1 on 1 free-for-all anything goes. HAVING SAID THAT: The outcome of this battle falls short of the glory of 1 side due to the other's "Rolling Start" so to speak. Jotaro is a Shonen style hero, where the targeted audience was the basis for shaping around the story of progression for the young titular character. On the flipside of the arena: Kenshiro's is a Post-apocalyptical style hero, where the targeted audience is the basis for shaping a story of survival and inevitable finality of the goals of the rational seasoned North Star inheritor. Due to the nature of the states in which the stories these character iterations are derived from -- Jotaro at the very youth and foundation of his heroism , Kenshiro fully acclimated to the potential of his heroism -- it was inevitable that such a well developed and fully aware character such as Kenshiro was destined to win, over the newly-introduced and barely discovering-his-edge Jotaro. The whole thing sort of resembles a mismatch of calibur rather than a one-sided duel. (There are circumstances that enabled Jotaro from a story-telling perspective to achieve what was impossible outright) I guess what I really mean is: This matchup was whack. It was only cool to see due to JJBA being inspired by Fist of the North Star (and if I may be cynical, *IS* the entire point of putting the 2 in a death battle) EDIT: Again, the point of the vid is that its an Unfair One-sided Matchup. It shouldn't have really happened. ____ Post Edit: I want to point out, that while I think Mr. Satan vs Dan Hibiki was not One-sided and unfair (not belonging on this list), I would point out for the sake of this argument that Dan's defeat was sort of a cheap-shop from Mr. Satan that he didn't even intend to happen: Dan would have unleashed the Satsui No Hadou on Mr. Satan and then he would have died, most likely Dan also (but the outcome was much more entertaining and very *POLITICAL*ly correct of Mr. Hercule Satan)

Flash is more than capable of breaking the speed of light, and was also shown to be able to run around the world at least 3 times in a single second. So even if we low-ball and call that Flash's to speed, that would be 268,930,800 mph which is 131,185.75609 repeating times faster than Quicksilver I don't remember the numbers given in the episode, but I knew before I even watched it that that was probably the most one-sided fight they've ever done, up to that point.

[@MasterHand0001]

Dante was considered immortal by his own healing factor, something that Bayonetta wasn't shown to have... because she has literally never been shown injured by anything that happened to her. Her fastest feat is dodging a satellite without Witch Time going from orbit to surface level in 5 seconds shits on Dante's rain sword feat, so she's faster. Dante has needed help fighting his final bosses before, and for large chunks of time, Bayonetta could do so without anyone's help. She's also survived re-entry without a second thought. Nothing has damaged her, so either she's way more durable than Dante or her healing factor is much better. Devil Trigger runs out eventually, Bayonetta can stack Witch Time as much as she wants to without any difficulty or resource cost. She's got the advantage in just about every aspect. Faster, more durable meaning pretty much anything Dante throws at her would miss or if its a physical weapon would break on contact. She can easily overwhelm Dante's healing factor, but what exactly could Dante do to even damage her. let alone kill her? Bayo's demons generate megatons of force and higher on the regular without needing to go into a higher form. Even the Deathbattle research team said this should have been a win for Bayo. She could easily outspeed him and overwhelm his healing factor and pretty much beat Dante into paste. Like, in what way is Dante superior? She has the edge on him in every way that matters. There's no way this battle would have been included if seasons 1-3 were included. Go check out one of this guys videos on battles DB got wrong using their own calculations. He even states Bayonetta was said to be stronger. And DB didn't get her fastest speed feat right. So again, like, in what way is Dante winning this? At all?

[@d.maxwell8669]

A source of major annoyance is that a lot of these character "feats" are just caused by bad writing. Often, writers allow a character to do insane things for the purposes of one story only (or worse, just to demonstrate how badass a character is) without thinking how this will affect the character itself. If these numbers/statistics are true then there is no way these characters could ever lose. Thus, a lot of these craze feats are forgotten and ignored in stories featuring the same character. A classic example is Flash who the writers brilliantly state can move faster than light itself in one story..and yet gets punched by a character in another.

Even Amuro, when he was inexperienced and a newbie, had a hard time holding off Zakus and other Zeonic mobile suits, as their pilots were way more experienced. It was only due to the Gundam being a prototype for a new generation of mobile suits as well as Amuro's Newtype powers that he miraculously survived the One Year War. Transformers, on the other hand, is a Super Robot series.

one thing that more or less made me stop watching death battles entirely is the incredibly inconsistent sources they use. Since in many of the battles they nitpick every single source from one character while entirely ignoring everything but one version of the other (which usually means that side loses, since they do not have their full abilities presented). On top their reasoning behind power levels can be...illogical, like seriously, stuff like 'he avoided a laser beam so obviously he is faster than light' kind of idiocy

that last part reminds me of "tracer vs scout". they said tracer had an incredible reaction time because she managed to react to a bullet being fired. they seem to miss the fact that she saw the gun being pointed at her before the trigger was pulled. taking away the slow motion, that would be around one full second or a half second reaction time, which is something normal people can accomplish

More importantly, it's not like everyone understands the in-depth science of which Megaman is strongest. I don't care how much of a powerscaling nerd you are (I am too, it's cool), who already did the numbers on how much stronger Spyro was than Crash until DB? We can't pretend like we just knew the outcome and the matchup didn't work.

There’s a couple where if you think about it you know who is gonna win, for example dragonzord vs mecha g. One is big, slow and lumbering that needs help to face big enemies, the other nearly killed godzilla on its own.

One is superhuman symbiote who can lift trucks and has absorbed the super powers of dozens of alien entities and regularly physically outmatches Spiderman while the other is basically just Batman but with a little less intellect and a little more strength.

I will add to this that Aquaman's "continent" feat comes down to the fact that DC describes Atlantis as both a city and a "continent", but never describe the size of the "continent".

[@backslash4141]

honestly death-battle is a dumb idea when it really comes down to it, the whole power scaling conversation is. it originated from kids thinking that "my character can beat yours" made them a "better" character. On a small level, such as 2 standard swordsmen, it can be an interesting conversation talking about fighting styles/previous experience/physical limits etc. but when comics, anime, games and films become long running and in some cases have multiple iterations the power levels get geniunely dumb. Certain creators give up with trying to make villains that tie in to the other characters emotionally and instead go "uhhhh... last one threatened the whole city... so now we go for... THE COUNTRY! YES IT'S PERFECT" and so the character gains new power/training/reveals something they hadn't used before to match that event and win, this also works out well for marketing as it often involves a new form of some kind which is good for selling the product itself along with new merchandise. the second a character gets above a tough fight against an equally trained human opponent I have no care for their "power scaling" anymore as from that point onward it just spirals until some iteration gets the "ultimate powerup" that is "infinity + infinity x infinity more stongerer than your dumb hero's" just so that next week they can get something even stronger than that. power doesn't make characters better and most characters involved in "power scaling" arguments are boring to me BECAUSE of their ridiculous power level. Characters like superman are only intersting to me when against a threat that is more personal, or when their own power IS the threat which are both rivers that run dry very quickly.

[@joshmerchant8737]

I agree, the very best superman stories in my opinion are: All-Star which revolves completely around the emotional impact of his incoming death from incurable poisoning; and Death of Superman/Reign of Supermen, Which shows superman killed by doomsday and the aftermath.

[@EatWave]

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure author Hirohiko Araki figured how to avoid that pitfall decades ago with imaginative power-set match-ups following Part 3 where characters hit the power ceiling for that setting (and gets an interesting moment out of pointing out how everything has changed through the match-up of Kujo Jotaro and a rat. Yes, a literal non-sapient yet still psychic rat nearly kills the time freezing super strong/fast brawler who crushed the villain of the last part with a glancing blow due to that blow giving him a more deadly fast acting form of the Bubonic Plague. Physical strength alone clearly became irrelevant at that point and never becomes a major factor in the franchise again).
