Death Battle Discussion

good shit. I’ve been in agreement with most of these statements for a while now, but I hadnt thought about Mista actually firing before Diavolo even uses KC. I don’t think that was even needed to understand how GER works but it’s a great catch by whoever wrote this.

The only thing I disagree with on isn’t even GER related it’s the interpretation of how Chariot Requiem reverted. There’s no indication that Polnareff had good control over Requiem at all, and he was terrified of of and didn’t understand it, which caused him to take the arrow and Chariot to revert, and it had to be pierced a second time to evolve again. I think this indicates separation from the arrow=devolution, and the changes Chariot exhibits when it’s on its own is because every Stand that outlives its user has always displayed traits unusual, like Notorious BIG which became something entirely different from its first form despite Carne having been one of Diavolo’s guys presumably for a long time.

Me and OP agree Giorno may not have kept using the arrow afterwards though.

This guy did miss a very easy to miss detail that I only caught this year though, which is that GER can also retroactively bring Giorno back to life, which it does at the very beginning of the fight, but because its powers weren’t revealed yet, it’s not obvious to the reader. However you can confirm it by the fact that Diavolo states he crushed Giorno’s head, and we also saw him put a hole in his chest, and his visions (which according to GER are always true ) confirm it, but Giorno is perfectly healed regardless.

also worth noting the official english translation now has Diavolo state he specifically erases time from the entire universe, this was not present in any fan translation I’ve seen over the last decade+
 
At work. There is a 17 year old kid that I work with. Good kid, into anime like most kids.

He asked me what my favorite JJBA was. So I told him part 4. He said his was 5. I said "That's my least favorite. The translation I read was on MSN back in the day."

He just stared at me. Blank stare. He asked me how I got into JJBA. I had to explain to him back in 2007/2010 manga wasn't as popular. And we had to rely on fans translations. MSN was one of those sites. He then just ask how old I was when I read JJBA. I said "I was 15" he just laughs and says when you read JJBA I was 3.

I felt my bones become brittle at that very moment. I only bring this up because this;

Brought PTSD to anyone else who had to read those translations.
 
I think I came up with a number for the size of the DC universe thanks to ChatGPT. Still fucking massive but not as bloatedly large as Death Battle suggests. I get 89 septillion light years in diameter, for comparison Death Battle was going with a number of around 38 decillion, over a million times larger.

yeah…the tls our generation had were rough lol. I still haven’t gotten around to rereading all of 5 in good TL yet, but I started rereading the whole manga semi recently so I’ll get there soon… :dead
 

it was written by a researcher on the fight
That’s a very good sign they’re not gonna downplay GER then. Happy to hear it.

The verdict might really just depend on if they think Joker has Acausality in that case. Which I’ve seen people arguing with the Velvet Room (where Time Flows differently) and more recently someone told me about scaling to Persona 2 characters who went to a place called Kadath Mandala which supposedly represents the expanse of the Persona Universe or something. But I’m still iffy on it as it’s not as solid to me as GER moving in erased time.
 

This has swayed my opinion in the match a little.

Tbh I am still lost on the scaling for SMT, but reading this I am more comfortable saying Joker would win with SMT scaling. Didn't know it would be so close without it.

I don't understand why SMT is so controversial in this hobby. Because Guns and Knifes work on demons? GTFO.
 
Bens hyping up the 4thunknown episode that is a TOC mu as 'none of you have come close to guessing' mu
they've said that they're looking into how to fit characters that dont typically fit into the death battle format, especially now that theyre indie
hey basically all really want Dark Urge VS Darth Revan, they may as well confirm it'll happen within the next few years.

No it basically a mu from the TOC that no one have guessed right so it's like a mu not many expect from last year

If not then it’s most likely:
A) one of the top popular choices/finalists/semi-finalists
B) one that they took a particular interest in that was brought up multiple times and possible on previous DBC

i’d say KG vs Deathwing if they didn’t already confirm Godzilla vs. Hulk later in the season unless the order the polls brought isn’t chronological in which case it’s possible Godzilla vs. Hulk would be next to tie into Godzilla’s 70th year anniversary next month
