#ash vs yugi

[turboacek-blog]

Yugi’s Pokemon Team

So there was a topic of Ash vs Yugi on twitter

And basically it just devolved into if they're playing each other competitive Yugi would win but Ash would win if they physically had to fight

Some also said Ash would win Pokemon and Yugi would win Yugioh/Duel monsters not just for obvious reasons but because Ash is more adaptive and Yugi is more of a planner

It made me think what would Yugi’s Pokemon team be?

As the idea is that Yugi would use some competitive Pokemon and that's why he would win as he would be less restricted in Pokemon and such similar to the actual competitive Pokemon play where they use legendaries, mythical, etc as if it's normal which isn't in the anime

But also Yugi’s deck had a theme (not an archetype) of mostly medieval with magic, knights, and dragons and there are pokemon that can meet that theme even if they aren't the most competitive Pokemon

So this was my attempt at a Yugi team

Meowscarada is literally a dark magician lol and makes sense for a starter,

Braixen would have been the starter before gen 9 as it has the “magic rod” and everything but now it can fit the Dark Magician Girl spot (could be Delphox but thought Braixen for the apprentice aspect more since it's a middle stage)

Aegislash is for all the knight cards Yugi has from Celtic Guardian, Black Luster Soldier, Buster Blader, etc

Escavalier, after the dark magician, it seems Gaia the fierce knight is the most consistent of his stronger cards, as cards like summoned skull didn’t appear often and others aren’t as unique or strong, Gaia and Escavalier use the same weapon

Venonat, Venonat is the closest thing to Kuriboh and Kuriboh is such a big part of Yugi had to include

Rayquaza is the obvious pick for Slifer the Sky Dragon the Egyptian God that was the boss monster for them

So that's the team

Pretty strong, the starters are starters so they have good strength, Aegislash is versatile Escavalier is can be really strong, with Rayquaza as one of the most powerful Pokemon ever, Venonat is the weak point here but could be the equivalent to Ash’s Pikachu if we're concerned about stats

Could this team beat Ash’s?

Depends how strong they make the Rayquaza

As everyone else is possible with his starters, aces, Pokemon like Sirfetch’d are no joke, etc

So could be an even battle until Rayquaza comes then it comes down to is this a Pokemon that if he has Charizard, Greninja, Pikachu etc available can they do a legendary slaying performance or will it be like a Tobias Darkrai or a legendary raid battle where he stands no chance?

I made additional team's for if Yugi and Atem are separated for this

Atem

Kept Meowscarada and Aegislash as in the Yugi vs Atem battle Atem had more of the magician and Knight cards

Atem had the Egyptian gods so he keeps Rayquaza for Slifer

Alakazam just represents more of his magician cards

Druddigon is the most similar to some of his dragons like Timaeus

And Kingambit represent more knight cards maybe specifically the Kings Knight, Queens Knight, Jacks Knight cards

Yugi

Atem had the dark magician girl in their duel but this magician can represent more of the fruit magicians he used in DSOD

Magnezone for his Magnet warriors, they had a crucial part against Atem in their duel and are another staple for their joint deck

Golurk for his Fortress cards like Stronghold, Metamorphortress as he used that combination in nearly all his duels

Klinklang for the gadget cards like red gadget, gold gadget

Gardevoir and Gallade for his Silent Magician and Silent Swordsman they are his equivalent to Atem’s Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl

Different teams, Atem has the same Rayquaza question but little Yugi, has a more technical team he's not going to overpower Ash but he could out-strategize him

Additional Pokemon to full out his reserves/deck

Sirfetch’d -another knight

Chesnaught - technically another knight

Armarouge/Ceruledge - fire knights might fit Joeys flame swordsman more

Corviknight - also another knight

Dragonite -another dragon

Charizard - another “dragon”

Mismagius- a witch for more magicians

Mr. Mime - technically a magician

Lucario and Rabscada - the Egyptian connection

Marowak or Duskull - Summoned Skull

Iron Valiant - “Combined” version of Gardevoir and Gallade if ever news to make just one team slot for them (also Silent Paladin)

Basically any dark, psychic, fairy, ghost, steel, or dragon type Pokemon as they generally cover a lot of the magic, knight, and Dragon, Yugi’s medieval theme has and some of Yugi’s toy/kid theme

I couldn't find a good equivalent for Gandora maybe a Pokemon like Zekrom but nothing I felt confident about picking

Same with Exodia don't know which Pokemon could fit that ionic card(s) maybe Regigigas as the ability slow start can match the need for all five cards to summon/win

Legendaries

Magearna - for the gadget cards

Swords of justice - knights

Hoopa - kind of a magician

Zacian/Zamazenta- knights

Mewtwo - psychic type can be a magician

So who wins?

[thevaudevilledemon]

Every confirmed MU for Death Battle Season '24/25 ranked

Omni-Man vs Bardock - Literally just Goku vs Superman part 4, and I don't even think the end result is gonna change, Bardock is gonna get obliterated

Mahito vs Shigaraki - I don't know either of these characters, so it'll be a good way to get introduced to them I think

Simon the Digger vs White Lantern - Ditto, but I'm vaguely familiar with the concepts of both characters

Aang vs Traveler - I'm curious to see if they'll go the Aang vs Edward Elric route or the Rick Sanchez vs The Doctor route for Aang's pacifism here

Hulk vs Godzilla - Cool to see Godzilla come back, that's about it

Ruby vs Maka - This battle has been teased for a long ass time, it's about time it happens

Kratos vs Asura - That teaser was pretty hype, but I'm not too familiar with either character to really have many expectations

Wile E. Coyote vs Tom Cat - After Scooby-Doo vs Courage, I think anything could happen here.

Ash vs Yugi - Straight up, this is just my childhood.

Bowser vs Eggman - Another Army vs Army battle, that won't be in pixel animation, and it's a legacy match-up.

Light vs Columbo - So this is gonna be the bonus battle, and it's been said it won't be a legit "Death Battle" battle, so I'm genuinely curious as to what they're gonna do with this one.

Ash’s Yugioh Deck

The flip side of the Ash vs Yugi I said in a different post

Where I made some Pokemon teams for Yugi/Atem

My attempt at a deck for Ash

I'm not as familiar with Yugioh as Pokemon I've played duel links and some master duel and watched duel monsters and some of GX and some 5DS so bear with me

Since this is a for a hypothetical dduel against Yugi it has to be more of an anime deck, which means it isn’t the most optimal TCG/OCG deck as anime decks very rarely have multiple copies of a card (with exceptions like Kaiba’s 3 Blue Eyes white dragon, and cards whose effects are using the same copy of their card like Thunder Dragon)

There were different ways to look at it so I have different decks

1) Focus around “Pikachu”

With the idea that characters have “1” precious card/monster and they build that deck around that

And by the time of DSOD characters basically have an archetype deck, (Blue eyes, Cubic, etc)

Watts

So I don't know if this is obvious but the archetype would be Watt’s

Wattfox resembles Pikachu a lot so that would be Ash’s Dark Magician or Kuriboh

The problem is Watts is mostly a synchro deck and even Wattfox is a tuner

Yugi was in bonds beyond time and saw Yusei even though that movie undid everything, Yugi wasn't freaking out over synchro summoning but was confused a little plus Watts isn’t as strong so could balance out against Yugi’s deck(s) and not many watt synchros so it wouldn't be much different than Yugi fusion summoning

Might pair it with the hunder engine as they can be the “trainers” to the “Pokemon” that the Watts are

I won't go too into the extra deck as that just gets complicated on what extra monsters they would use as that's even a question mark for Yugi but in later master rules, cards like the hunders can also facilitate Xyz summoning, and link summoning can be in any deck basically to do with the synchros

2) The “Pokemon” deck

Watts was because of Pikachu and Ash, but Ash can also just be seen as the Pokémon character stand-in so we need a deck that can be a Pokemon deck

Performapals

A lot of the performapals very much look like Pokemon from an art style perspective and some like Performapal Lizardraw looks literally like Charmander

Performapals are usually a pendulum deck but in this scenario would have a good number of non not strong Performapals plus no odd-eyes, etc so it isn’t as strong as it could be

3) Ash’s Pokemon as Yugioh Monsters

Then to do the route I did with Yugi for his Pokemon team where I needed to find the closest Pokemon for his monster cards, I'll try to find the closest Yugioh monster cards for Ash’s Pokemon

Wattfox (Pikachu)

Tyrant Dragon/Winged tortoise/and more (Charizard)

Poki Draco (Dragonite)

Performapal Lizardraw/Kidmodo Dragon (Charmander)

Butterspy monsters (Butterfree)

Performapal odd eyes light Phoenix/ (Talonflame)

End of Anubis (Lucario)

One of the frogs like Ronintoadin (Greninja)

Performapal guitartle (Squirtle)

Etc

Got some from here won't lie

Got some from here too

I don't know Yugioh as well to find more similar cards for the Pokemon Ash actually owns as I’ve seen some that can work as Pokemon but there are a lot of cards that can be Pokemon but Ash hasn't actually caught them so would feel strange to include them

So I'll just stop listing them here but as usual, fill it out with some decent spells and traps and more monsters to get to a 40-card deck

But the gist is it is just like early duel monsters with random monsters and spells and traps that don't go together since there weren't archetypes yet but they work well enough in the slower-paced game

As with cards like pot of greed being legal bricking isn't much of an issue

4) the Combination

I think the dream anime deck would be a Performapal deck with a Wattfox added in with some support from some spell cards for Wattfox to make it stronger like Pikachu is weak but strong at the same time and a few more nonarchetype monsters like Tyrant Dragon to be a boss monster in the deck like Charizard was his ace in Pokemon and the other special summoning like the Butterspy’s xyz’s for Butterfree, etc to represent his other Pokemon

So it's a pendulum deck with the focus on getting his boss monsters out which could represent his team of 6

Overall

I feel more realistically that Yugi would have just higher more useful cards plus better synergy but Ash has those situational cards that come in handy when you least expect it to I would say Yugi wins just off the probability that Ash could win maybe 3/10 times but Yugi wins a majority of the time

[danganronpasurvivoraskblog]

And since I made my previous ask moer battles have been announced. So let’s go through them.

Mahito vs. Shigaraki: Oh look it’s the better Tsumugi. Joking aside I’m seeing a LOT of people rooting for Shigaraki as I’m not familiar with JJK but it seems everyone hates Mahito so they want him to die painfully.

Ash vs. Yuki: Now THIS I can comment on. The two children anime protagonists that made people’s childhoods are facing off in episode 200. And both got fucked by 4Kids. We all know Ash and what he has done and I’ve watched a few Yu-Gi-Oh episodes back in the day. Outcome wise I think Yugi takes this as while Ash has gone up against Legendary Pokemon and survived petrification, Yugi has endured a lot more shit, plus his monsters are stronger than Ash’s Pokemon. Charizard ain’t gonna do shit against Exodus.

Simon the Digger Vs. White Lantern: This will be the most anime and hammy battle we will have in a very long time. As we got the guy who is main inspiration behind Kaito against the Lanterns who are too heroic to die. I’m not familiar with TTGL but I know how busted DC stuff is, so the White Lantern probably takes this.

We also have a animated fight by Luis, a 3D fight by Torrian and a Live action if all goes well, so again thoughts?

//I'm not quite sure about the connections between Shigaraki and Mahito other than the fact that they look similar, and both can be associated with hands, so I'm not sure what to say about that fight, nor do I have a stake in it. I will lean more towards rooting for Shigaraki though since I'm more of a fan of My Hero than I am JJK.

//Ash VS Yugi, despite me not being into Yu Gi Oh, makes a lot of sense as a legacy matchup, and I have high hopes for it. I have a friend who's really into Yu Gi Oh, so maybe we can throw a stake in this one. As for who wins, assuming the rules of their monsters are equalized, I'm gonna assume that they'll be using their primary/strongest team members. So for Ash, that would be the likes of Pikachu, Charizard, Greninja, Lucario; potentially Sceptile. For Yugi, that'd be Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, and Winged Dragon of Ra. Now again, I don't know much about Yu Gi Oh's rules and terminology, BUT from what I can tell, Yugi's monsters, particularly the Egyptian God Cards, seem to have greater raw power and more unique, versatile abilities compared to Ash's Pokemon. Therefore, I think Yugi takes it assuming all the technicalities and differences are pushed aside.

//Now, I haven't watched Guran Lagaan for a long time, and I don't know much about Kyle Rayner, but seeing how hyped up this fight is, I also had it on my top 20 matchups somewhere, I don't know where. I'm mainly rooting for Simon, but knowing the absolute insane power of the Green/White Lanterns, I think Kyle has far more raw power and versatility with his ring.

//As for everything else, I'm just gonna sit back and let things play out as they will. Again, this show is absolutely going places. It's audience, while not entirely wholesome, is committed, and as long as they have the team's back, Death Battle will go on for basically as long as it's audience wants it.

DB Kickstarter has begun and it's going AMAZING!!!

Today the Death Battle Kickstarter campaign began, and so fun things are looking AMAZING as DB has already reached over $325,000 out of the crews $75,000 goal in just a few hours!!!

Check it out: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/deathbattle/save-death-battle

This is great as not only does this mean Death Battle will be around for a long time, BUT we will be getting some amazing episodes soon, as part of the Kickstarter's list of goals gives us the names of fights they will make (some of which are already in the works as seen in this video on the DB Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYO-YhT9lZE&t=1s)

The episodes we WILL be getting so far include

Omni-Man vs. Bardock

Bowser vs. Eggman

Kratos vs. Asura

Mahito vs. Shigaraki

And a rematch episode, where the backers will vote out of 3 choices on the site.

If this keeps ups other episodes we will get are Simon the Digger vs. White Lantern Kyle Rayner (who could possibly be coming back due to recent events in Green Lantern comics), a live action fight, and more importantly Ash Ketchum vs. Yugi Muto!

The best part, there is still 30 days left to fund the Kickstarter, so DB might have to make some new goals if they past the max goal of $500,000.

If you like Death Battle and want to help it go fund their Kickstarter, or help by spreading the word on other sites.

Are you excited to see Death Battle return?

DEATH BATTLE LIVES!!!

That's right, Boomstick! With $737,442 raised (almost 10 times the initial goal!) Death Battle gets to keep going on strong! And in commemoration of the Kickstarter wrapping up, I might as well give my thoughts on all the matchups confirmed through the stretch goals!

Bardock vs Omni-Man (Dragon Ball vs Invincible):

Feels a bit wrong seeing Omni-Man again after only two years, not gonna lie. But at least this time around, he'll actually have some kind of challenge to face in an old-school Saiyan. (Watch them somehow still squeeze in that damn universe shockwave feat)

Bowser vs Eggman (Super Mario vs Sonic the Hedgehog):

The fact that they squeezed in a reference to Eggman's announcement and Bowser's Hotel Mario meme face was perfection. And the animation preview looks absolutely sick. Let's just hope that Bowser got whatever he had on the Moon in Odyssey off there, because we all know what's coming to it...

Kratos vs Asura (God of War vs Asura's Wrath):

The eternal bridesmaid finally gets its chance to shine! And honestly, I don't exactly get the hype around it all to much. I mean it can be cool, yeah, but second place in both Championship polls? How? Not only that, but remember when Kratos' most wanted opponent was Dante instead of Asura? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Mahito vs Shigaraki (Jujutsu Kaisen vs My Hero Academia):

I haven't watched MHA since season 4 and have never seen JJK so I have nothing to say.

Aang vs Traveler (Avatar: The Last Airbender vs Genshin Impact):

I'm not to hyped on this one either. I don't watch Avatar, and while I like a good few characters in Genshin, the Traveler is one I'm neutral on (Not to mention how I dipped out of the story mid-way through Sumeru). I guess it could be cool, but to me, this one is a bit more filler-like in my eyes.

Ash vs Yugi (Pokémon vs Yu-Gi-Oh!):

Aside from the episode 200 factor, this one is really interesting due to the many ways they could handle it. Since it likely won't be Ash and Yugi themselves throwing hands, it all comes down to what "monsters" are brought onto the battlefield. Obviously, we'll have Pikachu and Dark Magician, but we could also get Ash-Greninja, or Exodia the Forbidden One! Hell, maybe even "weaker" ones like Rowlet or Pot of Greed, which allows Yugi to draw three additional cards from his deck and place them in his hand!

Simon the Digger vs Kyle Rayner (Gurren Lagaan vs DC):

Welcome one of the most infamously back-and-forth toxic debates, in my eyes. While not on the same caliber as Bill vs Discord or Joker vs Giorno, I've seen the tides of debate shift on this so many times. And I... don't really care all that much. The White Lanterns are an area of DC I'm not that familiar with, and I tried watching Gurren Lagaan a few years back but lost interest after the time skip. Not only that, but I feel like the main reason people got interested in this matchup is because of Will of the Drill, and people, lemme break it to you; It's probably not gonna get used in the actual episode. Not saying it absolutely won't, but the chances are slim.

Ruby vs Maka (RWBY vs Soul Eater):

While I've only seen the first 4 volumes of RWBY and know nothing about Soul Eater outside of Venom vs Crona, I guess this one could be interesting. Though I can almost guarantee you that there will be some kind of scythe-lock moment in the fight. It's practically inevitable.

Hulk vs Godzilla (Marvel vs Toho):

I feel like I'm one of the few people who are actually into this matchup. Most people I've seen talk about it online are usually either neutral or flat-out dislike it. Or even weirder, only like it if its MCU Hulk vs Monsterverse Godzilla (And I have no idea why) but I'm really down for this. Here's to hoping Hulk grabs big G by the tail and gives him the Puny God treatment.

Gru vs Megamind (Illumination vs Dreamworks):

WOOOOOOO!! YEAAAAAH, BAYBEEEEEE! That's what I've been waiting for! That's what it's all about! WOOOOOOOO!

But seriously, I'm really happy this episode is finally happening. While it's not my most wanted episode (Infinity Ultron vs Heaven Ascension DIO), my second-most wanted episode (Borg vs Cybermen), and so on and so-forth, this one can still be a grand old time. It'll also likely be an easy wash for Megamind so long as he, y'know... S H O O T S G R U W I T H T H E D E H Y D R A T I O N G U N ! !

And with that, that only leaves us with one episode slot to cover... kinda: the fan-voted rematch slot. Since this one has yet to be decided, I'll tackle this one by saying which episode I'd vote for. And that would be...

Shadow vs Mewtwo (Like a good amount of people seem to be going with)

Hey, I can't help it if that episode sucked and deserved better for such a fitting matchup. It's at least a tad more interesting of a revisit than Master Chief vs Doom Slayer. Not to mention how Shadow's new Doom powers could shake things up from the first time around.

But nevertheless, the future of Death Battle is looking bright, and I look forward to analyzing a bunch of characters weapons, armor, and skills once more.
