Confirming my next Death Battle Fight Prediction blog

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, usually I don't do this. But I been really interested in a particular matchup. I am slowly started researching one of the characters. Thankfully I already researched the other character in question. This was one of those matchups I instantly loved!!! It actually is a very close fight makes the hype going to be insane indeed.

I will be putting Esdeath from Akame Ga Kill! vs Vanica Zogratis from Black Clover. Yes I'm actually going to do the matchup soon. I do wanna point out it's on the back burner right now. I am considering the possibility of moving. Right now I could be moving this year just waiting for the opportunity. Obviously I'll need some time before I were to resume anything.

I will try with the time I got to research Esdeath from the manga version before I move. A chance you might get this upcoming Death Battle Fight Prediction blog before that happens. Man some huge questions I gotta answer going to make it a huge head ache. Honestly along with my review of Black Clover manga would be my tie in to the series ended.

In the event this isn't ready I will let you all know in the review blog. A rough idea when to expect the fight prediction blog. The good news is Akame Ga Kill! manga doesn't have a lot of chapters. But it was an monthly manga series meaning longer chapters than those from weekly manga series. Imagine the first chapter of a weekly manga series but once an month.

The same logic the first chapter of an monthly manga series virtually double the size. Which would've equal to just four weekly manga chapters rolled int one monthly manga chapter. There's an awesome fight song by one of the people who made songs for Death Battle. I will be honest, I wasn't crazy about Esdeath's episode on the show.

At the time, I didn't know of either franchise. But I was more into Akame Ga Kill! through the anime. I quickly realized it was going to be an ice manipulator matchup like Sub-Zero vs Glacius. This isn't to throw salt at people who were into Gray vs Esdeath episode. I just wasn't that interested into the matchup itself.

Now if they were to do it, Gray would easily win. What makes this one more interesting requires a rather deep dive. We're putting a powerful ice user against someone with two scary types of magic. They essentially would be each other's counterparts. There's plenty of differences but scaling wise going to be an challenge.

Considering what both of them are bringing this might not be as important as it is for many matchups. I simply love how chaos vs order going to clash in a truly epic showdown. Ultimately, what I might have to consider could be the very difference that determines the winner. Just to help give you an idea this going to be among the most challenging fight prediction blogs I ever written!!!

I also giving special thanks to Simoun, he's given me some good information on Esdeath. I am leaving my bias out of this to the best of my ability. At least better than the actual Death Battle team someone had to said it. I am really excited to cover this matchup soon. I don't know if it'll be my last one with an Black Clover character though.

I absolutely would consider more matchups with Black Clover characters. This is a rather tricky situation with one of the characters not in the story nearly as long as their opponent. Although with both having great advantages it doesn't matter that much. It's more of a fight than Bakugo vs Reze just saying.

I strongly felt eventually they gotta do this matchup!!! An even deeper dive into Esdeath as well as more Black Clover. Two capable generals that's absolutely terrifying to face. Even the little things going to be nail biters. Esdeath vs Vanica going to be a special one for me. Regardless who ends up winning I respect both these characters a lot.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Power (Chainsaw Man) vs F.F. (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, this might be my last Death Battle Fight Prediction blog in a while. I do have another one currently planned. I do think this one going to be nearly just as interesting in comparison. I'm putting Power from Chainsaw Man vs F.F. from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. A rather unusual but strikingly similar characters even with their differences.

Verdict
F.F.

Before I start breaking this down. Both of them are supernatural beings possessing a corpse before their deaths. Which now both gotten reset within their respective stories making this more similar. Power was the Blood Devil while F.F. actually a very unusual Stand. Regularly it's an human with one or multiple spiritual companion souls.

In this rare case, F.F. is actually planktons with a hive mind. You know among the tiniest sea creatures in the oceans? Even for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, it's quite a bizarre variation of the Stand concept. Planktons controlling an human corpse. Originally both their characters started as enemy. They ended up becoming main allies to the protagonists.

Both dies from the main antagonists of those parts within their respective stories. I figured to help paint an picture why do this matchup. I'm going to be honest, stats wise going to be close. Power could've had the stats advantage if she could left the corpse. Instead Pochita mentally confirmed through Denji drank some of her blood.

She could come back which led to her demise in the story. Although most devils can heal instantly from a single drop of blood. You would assume she's among the most broken due to her blood manipulation. However she never used it in a way she couldn't die. What I mean is if she had use blood manipulation to constantly regenerate.

In theory, something else would have to give as a price. Usually she creates weapons out of her blood. It is confirm she also can manipulate other living being's blood to a degree. Thanks to Chainsaw Devil within Part 2 of the story. We do know she actually represents blood on a conceptual level. Despite this, there's a few questions I had to answer.

The big one involving water funny enough. F.F. is heavily depended on making contact with water. By default, F.F. regenerates at a much faster rate. The actual question is who gains more within the water? We never seen Power used blood through water. We do know blood could mix with water. But that easily could work against her as well.

Power would lack a defense inside the body if any of those planktons gotten inside. F.F. making contact with water rapidly increases the amount of them. Power suddenly could be starting over from something like that. F.F. easily cover notable water areas. Power also lacks the major weaknesses to kill them. F.F.'s plankton colony is notably smarter than Power.

It also doesn't help Power's mind more like a child. F.F. Even if she figure out F.F. needs water to survive. She can only do so much to prevent F.F. from making contact with water. It's very possible Power never heard of planktons. Therefore, she doesn't actually know what they are going to hurt her. F.F. without water to a degree has regeneration.

Most devils requires blood to keep going or simply regenerate. Power biting F.F.'s corpse to get some blood is easily the stupidest move she could make. Eventually Power going to get low on blood. If she were to do that planktons could easily end the fight. Power using blood manipulation further accelerates the process.

The only way Power could win this fight is leaving the corpse. Suddenly her stats goes up just high enough to take the fight around. But even this form still has the same problems I mentioned. Power would need to quickly take F.F. out before making contact with water. Even if Power tries to prevent F.F. reaching water in a fight.

The very moment F.F. makes contact it won't matter anymore. Power isn't a strategist to begin with. Which isn't a good idea against her opponent. I don't think Power going to prevent that from happening. Realizing F.F. could fight Power from both outside and inside the body at the same time is terrifying. F.F. easily could keep Power busy until her organs gets attacked.

Power lacking some abilities to directly counter water. I really couldn't ignore this, F.F. has exactly what they need to win. Sure Power's regeneration does cover more fatal injuries. But F.F. can easily work around Power's greatest advantages. At the same time, Power can't work around F.F.'s greatest advantages made things crystal clear.

Even if F.F. had some of Power's blood inside. It wouldn't go far because there's too many planktons to deal with. It's safe to say even if Power attempted coming back through blood is another huge mistake. By that point she already defeated she can't do anything!!! F.F. simply has all over their bases covered while Power too clueless what she's facing seals her fate.

Winner: F.F. (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

Explaining how Detective Conan outsold Dragon Ball manga wise?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I been waiting to talk about a particular manga/anime franchise for a good while. Detective Conan while being called Case Closed in the United States is a great, long story. The manga series is still ongoing with more chapters than One Piece I'm dead serious!!! It's one of four manga series to outsold Dragon Ball manga.

To clarify the classic Dragon Ball manga that was split into two halves for some regions. The later half being Dragon Ball Z portions of the manga. A brief US history with the franchise some people knows. Adult Swim aired a few seasons of the original English dub. Despite that amount episodes ended up getting canceled due to low ratings.

This was largely due to some of the previews turned people off. More recently, there's a newer English dub of the show. In Japan, the franchise a lot bigger there. You could even say one of the most inspiring stories in their country to date. Don't go in with any expectations that could ruin things for you. Instead try to go in for something different.

Something that's realistic to a degree with such amazing story telling. Keep in mind, several names were changed through translations. I don't know off hand how that affects the newer English dub. Before I go any further I'll be using a particular Wikipedia page for reference. But some sources may match up to the information I'm using while others don't.

What is set in stone is how many manga volumes Dragon Ball sold. Dragon Ball sold 260 million dollars is quite impressive. A lot of manga franchises blown away before and after it's run. Detective Conan currently made 270 million dollars expected to go up a lot. The difference of ten million dollars is quite huge.

I do believe there's some great reasons why Detective Conan deserved to earn more than Dragon Ball. Yes I know Dragon Ball was a majority inspiration for the Shonen genre. There's virtually no way around it's impact as a whole. But the same also could be said for Detective Conan. Among Mystery and Thriller stories around the world.

Some of Detective Conan's inspirations are very obvious. Sherlock Holmes stories that's still being adapted in some form. Spiritually the torch been passed to Conan whose actually Shinichi aka Jimmy depending on regions. The story about a young detective that's gotten drugged by a few henchmen. Who later revealed to work for a mysterious organization.

Instead of death, he gotten de-aged back into a kid. He ends up living with his girl friend and her detective dad. He continues to solving cases mostly dealing with murder. At times, some stories is a more kid friendly with the kids. Personally I'm not crazy about them. Although I do see why at times their inclusion matters long term?

Detective Conan is heavily about the story telling. The author been writing the story since 1994. A few years before One Piece that's still going strong. Detective Conan is a story filled with many surprises. What's more mind blowing is there's a lot of movies. They're about to get their twentieth nineth movie!!!

Close to handful of those movies gotten English dubbed. It's unclear if more of them getting the same treatment or not? Detective Conan really makes you think a lot about everything. Shinichi aka Jimmy fires these darts putting Kogoro aka Richard to sleep. He often uses a device to sound like him while solving cases.

The author has a very complex mindset to pull off a lot of these murders within the stories. A particular train story I remembered from the original English dub version of the show. A few trains with murder involved just not the way you would expect. The murderer in question disguised themselves with a phone call.

This led to the murderer secretly getting onto another train to quickly kill their target. But not long afterwards Shinichi aka Jimmy caught them. The murder was done with a needle. Suddenly I don't wanna get on trains. A lot of real world logic applies to the series. Somehow a lot of the stories is something you gotta watch.

The author instantly knows how to bring in the readers. I know some people been questioning when the series going to end? Honestly, if the story that great who cares about the ending. You may still want more of it beyond the actual amount of chapters is a testament to it's greatness!!! Of course I'm going to say that about One Piece as well.

Detective Conan might be categorized as required taste for some people. I also know not everyone going to take well to the main protagonist being a kid again. At the same time, Detective Conan continues to inspire millions of people. It's a story that ultimately makes people be more careful or appreciate life more.

Sure you may also become paranoid being around people after many chapters. Detective Conan really knows how to use it's characters. I can't say there's more characters than One Piece. What I could say though is when the series gets dark. Always expect a great twist or two to follow. There's always light at the end of the tunnel.

It doesn't get too dark or too light to ruin the overall story. It is difficult to imagine an author kept writing such a story for so long. One of his other stories that also crossed over into Detective Conan currently put on hold. There was a statement after Detective Conan finished. He may continue Magic Kaito with some shared similarities.

It's safe to say Detective Conan is a spiritual successor to that. The author in his early sixties which isn't that common in the industry. Except if they came back to assist in a newer series like Dragon Ball Daima and Dragon Ball Super (manga version) respectively. Detective Conan already has it's ending in question planned out in advance.

I don't know if it was decided early on like One Piece or due to several manga author passed while their stories continued? The later becoming more common which is quite sad indeed. Even the author of Hunter X Hunter with serve back pains continuing that story. I recently saw a statement his wife, the author of Sailor Moon supporting his commitment to that franchise.

I can't imagine what it's like for two manga authors being married? Detective Conan is a rather unique perceptive on everything it covers. It is critical you really pay attention to each chapter you read. You could just as easily missed something critical especially when it's right under your nose!!! Detective Conan is so effective in what it does.

I don't know the actual manga pacing off hand. My assumption is like One Piece way better than the show's. Detective Conan doesn't shy away from the ugly truths. Don't worry if you live for that stuff you're going to love this series. Also you must be truly mess up in the head if you do lol. Detective Conan somehow kept things refreshing despite recurring themes.

Occasionally other crimes like kidnapping shows up. Some of my favorite stories that I know of involves multiple murderers. Which often plays out like the famous Clue movie based on the classic board game of the same name. Finally I get to talk about that movie!!! Detective Conan may not look like much on the surface.

A great long story constantly keeps you interested while more stuff happens. Before religious people gets the wrong idea here. I'm not comparing One Piece and Detective Conan to the Bible here. But in a shard perceptive way, all three are great long stories inspiring so many people around the world. Detective Conan was simply something too unique to possibly stand the test of time.

I'm also familiar with Death Note. But there's supernatural aspects with Shinigami aka death gods in that story. Light gets a death note killed so many people simply wrote their names down. There's some complexity in that story. But it just doesn't compare to Detective Conan in many ways. For starters, Detective Conan is more directly about solving cases rather being the main antagonist.

Even Light gotten defeated in the end. I actually felt the characters even the one time used ones stands out in Detective Conan. Despite it's insane length still making quite an global impact!!! The protagonist was way more interesting than Light. Even the main antagonist with little to go on was way more interesting as well.

Detective Conan is a story that's underrated in the United States. A major surprise success within Japan that's truly mind blowing!!! The author still writing such great stories a little over thirty years. There's no real signs of Detective Conan slowing down. I do think when the story inevitably ends. It's going to be among the greatest manga endings in history.

Detective Conan always stayed true to what it is. I can't necessary say Dragon Ball done the same. The original Dragon Ball was more of a journey that focused more on character development including training. Then the major shift with Dragon Ball Z shortened the story for more intense action. This is also where power scaling started to get ridiculous for the franchise.

The short version being the author chosen to reduce the amount of story for greater focus on action. This notably affected training within the remaining portions of the story. It also became more about transforming that kept getting more ridiculous. Dragon Ball already reached universal scaling with Dragon Ball Super.

Half way through Death Note, the protagonist shifted from L to Near. In vice versa, the criminals always changes. I also need to point out a lot of arcs are in a few parts continuing the same cases. Which is quite common in the franchise. This also helps the author come off with more standalone case stories.

Detective Conan is a story that might seem boring to those that doesn't read. But to the right people they really can't get enough of it. Majority of the cases are essentially the famous cat and mouse theme. But more directly using wits to solve the cases. I never said this was an Shonen story to begin with. There's also times Shinichi aka Jimmy had to get creative to get what he wants.

Such as getting inside locations no one allowed in or how particular murders played out? We even had someone doing exercises outside high up an building. Killed by a rather unexpected kill method that worked. They were exercising outside their back door that's high up an building. One of the highest floors in that building no less.

The killer was creative enough to directly kill their target while making it an accident thing. It was a rather difficult pill to swallow the explanation how this murder gotten pulled off. The short version is the killer created a set up from their place a small distance from another building. They sent something that caused their target's death with little room to error.

Basically it wasn't done with directly throwing something or firing a gun. The murderer carefully used wires to carry out the murder. This is exactly what I loved so much about the story. I previously considered getting into such a long manga series before. Currently One Piece being the longest manga series I'm reading to date.

Detective Conan even made the little things into such amazing things you can't believe happened. Now that's hell of an author to pull that off. You probably notice I only criticize the more kid friendly stories. I really can't complain about everything else because it's done so amazingly well!!! Detective Conan is a story that kept getting more interesting as well as unique the longer it's going.

You also felt bad the main protagonist forced to keep lying who he is to his girl friend on a daily basis. You also want him to get justice for what happened to him. Eventually the day he confronts the organization's leader is one many people going to drop everything for. Such an encounter going to forever change the world of manga as a whole.

Detective Conan is either a very underrated story in the United States or among the most popular in Japan. You also can't deny it has such a strong legacy as well as impact on the world. Detective Conan is something different from many franchises. Somehow everything that happens is very believable. Honestly, I could highly recommend the franchise in some form people are going to enjoy it.

PO'ed: Definitive Edition (2024) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I finally took a chance in playing PO'ed: Definitive Edition. A few years ago, Nightdive released five remasters in the same year was crazy!!! I played two out of five prior to this review. Now we can say I played three of them. This is hands down the strangest Doom clone I ever played!!!

PO'ed: Definitive Edition (2024)

This is somehow stranger than Chex Quest series that's actually real licensed Doom clones. There's even a remake of the original Chex Quest. Yes a series of an licensed cereal video games that plays like classic Doom games. I know some of you are probably wondering how is this stranger than those? PO'ed was originally an 3DO FPS game like Killing Time.

Which also ended up getting remastered the same year. A notable delay occurred regarding it's newer campaigns. Don't worry the extra time I'll try to put to better use than if I rush it out right now. PO'ed you play as a chef on around alien locations. This was meant to be somewhat comical like UnMetal. The team was inspired by Doom and Quake 1.

Before I forget I loved the trailers Nightdive released for this game. I especially loved the part someone didn't think it would get an remastered version. Well you bet it somehow gotten one. PO'ed trailers helped gotten me interested into wanting to play this game. It was just so out there I kept hesitating until I finally decided to give it a try.

The actual levels are in mind blowing 3D. Some of them are either quite massive or surprisingly more complex than expected. In rare cases, it's a good mix of both like Puzzle being a good example. In the level Puzzle, you have two exits. But if you want to play the hardest to find exit to enter a secret level. It's not easy trying to find something solid enough online.

I did find a great YouTube video properly solving the puzzle giving you access to that exit. You have to follow a particular path or you won't be able to get that exit. You can't cheat it by default except making saves at times. The game doesn't really do boss fights. But there's a good variety of enemies. Some are quite tanky taking a lot of damage.

Especially the final enemies introduced in this game, these annoying spider enemies. Just when you thought no one more would get introduced by that point no less. I actually like this unique map screen you get. Which also shows switch locations to a degree. This also helps gives you an idea how massive some of the levels are.

Once again being an 3DO game pulling off such ambitious level designs I'm impressed!!! You get a good variety of weapons that plays just like classic Doom weapons. But among them gets a bit weird. You could find a driller that's similar to Doom's chainsaw. You also get a meat clever you either throw at enemies with no limit how many throws or chop em up close.

You even could eat some of the enemies after they die to get some health back. There's a few health methods with the usual health items being the most common. There's a password system that's a little weird to access. First you got to make a save then exit out the game. Not turn it off to clarify just select exit the game option.

Then among accessing load your saves is a password system. There's also a level select code that seems to be the only cheat method to get around no using cheats for achievements/trophies thing. Yes you also get access to the secret levels. I also couldn't believe there's so many enemies within levels as well. It may not get final levels within Serious Sam games amount of enemies.

This was more like the newer Doom campaigns in Doom 1 + Doom 2 respectively. Which also came out the same year as a shadow dropped remastered version of those classic Doom games. PO'ed has a decent soundtrack with some amazing sound effects. PO'ed does allow exploring for the most part. It's the most fun to explore with a jetpack.

Outside Garry's Mod, the most fun I had with a jetpack in a game. This really made the game play rememberable. Some of the later levels throws some huge curve balls. Usually when levels this bad in the style of a boomer shooter it doesn't work well. Somehow for the most part it's among the most fun FPS games I played in a long time.

It's not often I get low on ammo I loved that. None of the levels are alike except the first levels within a set. There's three sets of levels you play in the entire game. Every first level of a set is at the same location with the same exit. But you also can explore other locations to a degree. By exploring you also get more of an idea how massive some of these levels going to be.

For a remastered version I wasn't even sure if I'm going to like or not. PO'ed quickly grew on me the more I played of it. I would even dare to say easily among my favorite Nightdive remasters I played. PO'ed was among their most unexpected remasters to date. Of course, parts of the game can get repetitive.

Either by trying to survive while low on ammo or constantly get loss. The later ended up being more common for me. I can't express how massive some of these levels truly are. A lot of them you can keep going up or down. At times I kept getting surprised there's more of those sections that's showing up. Being a Doom clone, majority of the enemies similar to Doom enemies.

PO'ed can easily differ in length depending how you play. Some levels you could run or fly through while others takes more time to figure out to get to the exits. Along with the switches, heavily inspired by the original Quake. Somehow this felt like the missing link between them or possibly the next thing. You know as in evolution of classic boomer shooters.

PO'ed also does funny transmissions that plays out like letters to his mom I'm not kidding. These ended up being among my favorite aspects of the game. This may felt like those games to a degree. At the same time, PO'ed felt just enough to be it's own unique experience. I am not even sure which games I played is similar enough to this!!!

I still felt Killing Time: Resurrected is a little better. Mostly in terms of getting more notable improvements. But unlike that, PO'ed already made the cheats available from the start. Achievement/trophy hunting can differ depending on methods. I will say it's still a fun hunt to do. PO'ed was truly mind blowing in everything it brought to the table.

This was like Serious Sam to Duke Nukem but to Doom I loved it!!! The secrets are well hidden with some you may not even known was there. Until you watch a few video walkthroughs. There's even a weird Elvis cameo leading to another secret level that's an achievement/trophy. Somehow Elvis was in a meat locker at an alien location.

I guess Agent K couldn't rescue him in time. This was more properly balanced than Redneck Rampage series. Which also involved aliens in a similar style FPS game series. Still vastly different in many ways though. Don't go in comparing it to Doom or Serious Sam. Instead go in with curiosity wanting to experience something different.

Trust me, it differs so much from all the other boomer shooters I played I couldn't believe it!!! PO'ed is a game that doesn't take itself seriously. For an 3DO game, I didn't expect to be this blown away. It's obviously better than the original Gex. PO'ed went in with such a chaotic game play design. Honestly, this made the game incredibly fun.

Even in huge areas flying around with a jetpack with a lot of enemies surrounding you. The more reason to go wild on them. PO'ed is perfect for getting out your frustrations. The level names are strangely unexpected as well as interesting. I personally wished there was more levels than this. I actually was having a lot of fun I didn't want it to end.

Killing Time is more directly about finding stuff. PO'ed is more about taking out enemies with more fun to use weapons. Killing Time may used digitized actors with good voice overs. What PO'ed does in the few areas it falls a bit short in greatly made up for. There isn't much of an actual story. I actually felt that indirectly plays into the chaos allowing players to have more fun.

Let's be honest, a lot of people back then didn't have the patience for stories within video games. Technically Killing Time has more maze level designs. But PO'ed overall has much bigger in size levels. Killing Time is another famous Doom clone. Ultimately, PO'ed rather unexpected freedom within the game play is it's greatness strength.

I did have some notable issues like the game kept crashing on the final level. I even had to use the auto save to start over at one point. I don't know if Nightdive going to fix that or not in the near future. I also felt melee weapons aren't as accurate to the rest of them you fire at enemies. Some levels you might actually need to clarify follow a guide to get through.

There's a particular level with a rather ambitious design that took me a good while to finish. Lattice allows you to go through walls. There's a lot of switches you'll need to active. A lot of them took some time to find. I don't know if there's a set order for these or not. But you just need enough of them activated to get access to the portals.

The main section of it actually fully circles around. Each parts of that section is quite huge. Of course, a lot of enemies through out them. This was quite impress to pull off on the 3DO. Just in case you might not notice it's among the last levels you play in the game. PO'ed may not look much at first. Just give it a chance you could end up loving it like I did.

For such an unexpected game to get remastered. Suddenly my expectations for Nightdive went even higher. No really they even made such a weird FPS game stand out like this!!! I don't know how long the actual development was. Although you can tell a lot of care went into this remastered version. Where it stands PO'ed should be among must own games within your gaming collections.

Celebrating Twenty Years of Cinemassacre on YouTube

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I think I been watching videos with James Rolfe for almost twenty years. Very recently, two of his YouTube accounts became twenty years old. He does have a newer, third channel about his band Rex Viper. I don't wanna just focus on The Angry Video Game Nerd or Cinemassacre's Monster Madness marathons.

I felt I already said enough regarding both of those. I wanna shine some light on other videos Rolfe made over the years. Some of which is a bit difficult to find since then. I remembered being very inspired by his AVGN show to start making my own review videos. More recently became a reviewer writing my own reviews here.

Rolfe posted a lot of his home made horror movies online. He had a couple short lived video series some people might know. OverAnalyzers was a group of people that covered such unexpected topics. Board James was a strangely interesting video series. Just kept getting stranger as the series went on. He recently posted a video about this awesome museum showcasing stop motion figures from classic movies.

My favorite OverAnalyzers episode was covering Ernest. They concluded he's a God was such a great joke that's sadly forgotten. Board James done Deadly Danger Dungeon. Which was a childhood game Rolfe made to play with some of his friends. People made their own versions since that episode. Such an unforgiving board game style experience.

You Know What's BS? is about a guy ranting about stuff. I may previously mentioned the famous episode gotten on the news. Where he ranted about pennies I'm dead serious!!! He was a bigger fan of movies than games to a degree. But people acknowledge him for both over the years. Monster Madness kept changing up the theme.

One of my favorite Monster Madness marathons was Monster Madness: Around the World. Which had a rough start due to a video editor stolen parts of someone's else of the same movie. Each entry was a deep dive into different countries. A rather impressive entry that kept getting interesting the longer it went on.

There was a time The Angry Video Game Nerd would upload episodes on GameTrailers' website. I do remembered staying up for many episodes back in the day. He also done some joke concept videos like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movie trailer based on the famous bad NES game. I do also remembered several entries of Turtle Tuesdays.

Turtle Tuesdays was a notable period every Tuesday was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles related stuff. It's difficult to find the famous Michaelangelo now Michelangelo's Pizza Taste video. They recreated every single pizza he ordered on the classic 1987 TMNT cartoon show. A harder to find now forgotten video series.

I really gotta mention a lot of these pizzas were disgusting!!! Very few of them I might consider trying. Turtle Tuesdays was a rather fun time. I do recalled really looked forward to whatever came out during that period. One of my absolute favorites was they played the SNES TMNT: Tournament Fighters. Then Mike lost had to watch a bad direct to video TMNT video.

At the same time, James had to watch around twenty minutes left of the classic live action TMNT movie. I felt this was one of the very best parts of Turtle Tuesdays. The video itself played out perfectly that could've inspired Mike's character in Board James. The last entry was one of Rolfe's childhood birthdays with someone dressed up as a ninja turtle.

Most Unlikely VS Battles being a third part video series. The third and final part is barely hanging online right now. The concept is James and Mike pick a very unlikely matchup. They had to explain how a fight between the characters they picked ends up fighting each other. Who won had little importance but Mike made a funny joke.

A little while back on his Rex Viper channel. He kept uploading Rex Viper videos every Wednesday. You will hear majority of the songs a few times if you watched all of them. Rolfe also had a brief period doing video reviews for Spike channel. Rolfe also assisted in a few documentaries across a few forms of media.

Cinemassacre done several two guys sitting on a couch playing games together. We still haven't heard what's going on with Neighbor Nerds though. I surprisingly enjoyed the double football episode they done. Usually I'm not a fan of football, actually among my least favorite sports. But both of these football games I liked watching.

I know Mutant League Football franchise kept back. Which is a rather extreme take on the sport. Rental Reviews was another long video series in a basement set up like a classic video rental store. Many younger people wouldn't know what that experience was like. Largely due to streaming movies and shows effectively running any of them out of business.

You go into a store to look around. It didn't matter if you were there for a game or a movie. The internet was still somewhat new during my early years in a Blockbuster store. You basically went in for the most part not knowing much about majority of either you could rent out. Imagine a kid in a candy store but the brands they don't realize.

Suddenly they don't know how to feel towards em. Their parents usually buys em candy for the kid to end up loving it. There was also the chance the kid wouldn't like it. The point I'm trying to make is you allow your curiosity take over. Things quickly gets interesting after that. Not many companies making VCR to play VHS tapes around.

VHS tapes quickly gotten overtaken by DVD discs. Some forms were sorta there with streaming where we're at now. Rolfe heavily brings up such nostalgia memories within his viewers. When you actually see how passionate he is about something. You're in for a great time watching those videos. I will be honest, in newer AVGN episodes don't see that as much.

He did try to get a major movie company to back his AVGN movie. He ended up doing Kickstarter with a lot of money raised to finish the movie. He went into a full indie movie direction fitting of his style. I highly doubt a decent movie company would've back the movie. I'm glad he didn't consider trying the shameless movie companies that often rips people off with their movies.

James was among the first notable YouTubers to get famous. Largely due to his friend Mike convinced him to make more AVGN episodes. Which also led to his friendship with the website ScrewAttack now Death Battle. They made their own sequel to The Wizard of Oz. They also had a few animated video series that's kinda meant to be dumb but silly to a degree.

Rolfe also would visit some horror movie locations. He even went to the famous mall that's in Dawn of the Dead original version. Sometimes you really don't know what you're getting with him. There's times that ends up making things quite amazing!!! But other times it comes close to working or something comes up that ends up ruining it.

Spread around his videos reveals a lot of James' life from childhood to his current age. Also a lot of celebrities cameo within many stuff Rolfe was in. Some of which you may never would've expected. I know some people disliked AVGN episodes with celebrities. I personally enjoyed majority of those a lot.

I do have to say I really wish his Mario Paint episode was done differently. It still would have to have a few members of the band Gwar though. Back when Mike still working for the website as well as the first two Cinemassacre YouTube channels. There was a lot more videos a year to where it is right now. This is partly due to the fact, Rolfe has two daughters.

He also wanted to be in a band for a long time. The name of his band came from a joke character off of The Angry Video Game Nerd show. The same character was a hidden skin in AVGN I & II Deluxe. More recently, Rolfe made videos talking about some of his video genres he enjoys. He also covered a lot of movie adaptations of Frankenstein.

Which was quite an interesting video released on my birthday funny enough. I even asked my wife if I could finished watching that comparison video. I also ended up rewatching his Dracula comparison video after that. He implied possibly being up for more of that style videos. He ends reads an entire book in a video.

Where's an audiobook of Rolfe reading you a story at? Rolfe represents what it's like being an indie film maker? He also made this Rocky style video with Kyle the guy who sang the original AVGN theme song. In a way, his life was sorta like Rocky's. He may never been a boxer but he has been dealt some tough blows over the years.

Rolfe always finds a way to get right back up is very inspiring. Originally with Mike's help, a lot of older entries in Monster Madness marathons gotten onto YouTube. This was a bit inspired by James' newest YouTube video with Mike. I felt for the many years of joy, I really needed to say my thoughts. I usually love majority of videos I seen.

If I had to mention a few I wasn't a fan of I didn't previously mention before. I dislike the newer censored versions of several AVGN episodes. To me, that web show was meant to be uncut. To come off with being such raw emotions of anger as well as frustration. I felt some of that either loss or how it's censored changed what some moments meant.

It's also hard for me to get into those versions I'll be honest. I wasn't that crazy about a now forgotten video crossover with Captain S. They also censored The Nerd cursing as a joke. I still haven't played the newest AVGN game it's on my list though. The ones I had played are very decent. Honestly, the right videos you get to witness such experiences meant to inspire you to go for your dreams.

There's a few other video series by some of James' friends. A few from Mike that were short lived with Game Glitches being his most famous one. A particular one I liked not many people remember is with Bootsy. He would give out tips how to get through NES Battletoads. Mike also done a few other duo video series similar to James & Mike Mondays.

James & Mike Mondays is still among their longest web shows to date. For a couple years, every single Monday would've had episodes on a daily basis. An handful of episodes were very funny like Goat Simulator or Use Your Words. Rolfe changed a lot in a few decades. He went from a normal person into such an icon inspiring millions of people.

At times, Rolfe done a couple collection showcasing videos. He is sorta due for a newer one that could've been interesting. It's difficult to believe it's been twenty years for Rolfe being on YouTube. I know some people are mixed with his newer videos. Honestly, I would like to continue supporting the man as long as possible.

Even after how I felt after my first watch with his newest Castlevania AVGN episode. I still think Rolfe has many great stories to share. He also could go in many possible directions to keep things interesting. Not only that, he made a newer version of his famous bad shark movies. I wouldn't mind a newer edit with an hundred bad shark movies at this point.

I really could keep going talking hours worth of stuff about James Rolfe. He's been one of my biggest idols in life along with Jim Carrey. Even if AVGN keeps declining to a degree. People always respected his early years. He always comes out with videos you won't expect that instantly pulls you in. The true magic of why so many people love the man in the first place.

When he's deeply passionate about something. He could take one of the most boring things in existence. But with enough passion from him could easily make it the greatest things ever!!! He even revealed his worst movie that's still sticks in mind since my first watch. I couldn't imagine trying to watch such a film for a notable period.

Honestly, Rolfe should have more subscribers than he has right now. YouTubers like GrayStillPlays who I also often watch has more subscribers with such crazy game videos. Rolfe been through quite a journey since AVGN officially became an web show. So much happened in his life to usually puts his best efforts in anything he works on.

I'm very inspired to kept adding in stuff that might be interesting. I can't apologize much for how messy connecting things could end up being. When you're really inspired by someone. You don't wanna make them sound bad or very off from what others felt about em. Rolfe also done a lot of list videos including in a particular entry of his Monster Madness marathon.

Which had a few lists during Monster Madness X. Which is still among one of my favorite entries despite all the different themes. But to me, Halloween should represent as much variety as possible. Honestly, Rolfe made a lot of bad games famous that ended up coming back. Somehow Rolfe inspires things in ways even he couldn't believe over the years.

James Rolfe will always meant a lot to YouTube. To a lot of people including me for a long time. His legacy is going to be such huge shoes to fill. Who knows if either of his daughters going to attempt or respectively do their own thing? What we do know is Rolfe absolutely loves his fans. He even had a web show where he reads emails for a short period.

I did expect this to be a long blog entry for purely respecting the man himself. Rolfe made a legacy where nostalgia could truly drive people. He also revealed how being indie well anything could be truly amazing. At their work especially on low budgets is quite an challenge. Honestly, his creativity along with that passion helped change me into a better person along with my beautiful wife.

Why I think Wes Craven loved A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master over the sequels?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I recently found out despite Wes Craven didn't like sequels to A Nightmare on Elm Street. It turns out he absolutely loved A Nightmare on Elm Street 4. He tried to be more involved with the franchise being the short version of that story. Now thinking about what I know it actually makes sense.

Just like Craven, I always disliked the direction A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge went in. The entire concept is an undead killer stalking teens in their dreams absolutely terrifying!!! They decided to force an teenager into killing people. Not only that, it had a loose connection to the original movie.

We barely get Freddy in the movie at all. To be fair, his scenes were still well done. I personally hated it had virtually nothing to do with terrorizing teens in their dreams. Let's put it this way, it turned me off like Brahms: The Boy II. A questionable revamp of a concept at best. Sure there's some rememberable moments in the movie.

There's no way it's going to stalk against the best Freddy movies. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 my favorite Freddy movie. Craven was involved but New Line Cinema were exploiting his name. They ultimately forced the ending Craven didn't want. He may not been on board with the story they went with. He still ended up liking the movie to a degree.

I'll come back to A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 since it's the most focus of this blog entry. A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child represents the very aspect Craven hated New Line Cinema done with Freddy. They tried making Freddy more likeable by adding in humor. Which also ended up happening with Chucky. In a weird way, it was recreating A Nightmare on Elm Street 2.

Both involved Freddy possessing one of their victims. Which meant his existence was barely enough to stay in our world. Funny enough, this also was done a little differently in Freddy vs. Jason. I will give them credit, Dan's kill scene especially the rare uncut version is amazing!!! By this point, New Line Cinema was exploiting the character.

This also felt like a weak follow up to the last two great Freddy movies. Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare heavily plays on the final horror installment trend. Friday the 13th actually done that twice. Let's be honest, they went full on Looney Tunes with Freddy here. Even one of the kills plays out like something right out of those classic cartoon shorts.

Obviously this wasn't the character Craven created. For my own reasons enjoyed the movie a lot. It's among the worst Freddy movies. At least, there's slightly more reasons I liked it over A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. Essentially Seed of Chucky for Freddy franchise. To be honest, I actually prefer Seed of Chucky over it.

I'm not including Wes Craven's New Nightmare. The concept was a rather unique one for it's time. Some of the actors of Freddy's movies plays themselves. Freddy's dark side stalking them being closer to Craven's vision of the character. I will say easily among my favorite Freddy movies. I have nothing too negative to say about the movie, I loved it!!!

Craven did state his thoughts on Freddy vs. Jason to a degree. I seen the crossover movie a lot myself. When he stated how Freddy ended up being done in that movie. He was very on the money with that. Sure Freddy's role was get reduced because they had to split it between two famous horror icons. I would say this version of the character is slightly more comical than actually scary.

We do know it's a follow up to Freddy's Dead and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday respectively. Two weird horror movies at that, I'm a bigger fan of Freddy's Dead. Craven wasn't involved with that crossover movie either. Craven had a difficult business relationship with a producer at New Line Cinema.

Originally, Wes wanted A Nightmare on Elm Street to end with a happier ending concluding everything. In other words, he never wanted that to become an franchise. But the producer in question wanted money. To say lines were drawn would be quite an understatement. Along with that producer, two writers didn't like Craven's concept for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3.

It's difficult to say whose direction was better. Craven's concept for that movie ended up becoming Wes Craven's New Nightmare. The best part is they given Craven full control for once over a Freddy movie. It's no surprise it was a great Freddy movie. He also ultimately ended up not working on A Nightmare on Elm Street 4.

The short version is his concept for the movie refused on the spot. Usually for Craven, he starts disliking Freddy movies New Line Cinema forced their way. Unexpectedly, Craven showed up to the first shooting of that Freddy movie. He was so impressed by the director to wrote him a letter. Some of you might be more familiar with some of his other classic movies.

1. Die Hard 2: Die Harder
2. Cliffhanger
3. Deep Blue Sea

Wes stated none of the Freddy movies done stuff like this before or since then. He sure wasn't kidding with such ambition went into this Freddy movie. We're given one of the sickest resurrection scenes in the movie. Originally started as a joke that had Satanic meaning behind it. I won't sugar coat this, a dog peed causing the resurrection to happen.

The amazing shots during this was mind blowing for it's time. Majority of the nightmares in the movie were beautifully done. A good example being Debbie', this chick gets both her arms broken. Then she starts transforming into two coach roaches I counted. What I recently learned is the actress actually dressed up as those bugs during the scene.

I still felt this is among the most creative Freddy movies ever made!!! We had Alice's brother Rick in a bath room stall transformed into a crazy fast elevator. He ends up fighting Freddy whose invisible. Keep in mind, this predates the game franchise Mortal Kombat a few years. The actual scene called Mortal Combat I'm not joking.

Indirectly, Freddy ended up in an actual Mortal Kombat game years later. We also had Kincaid the strong guy dropped a car on Krueger!!! This by itself was beautifully done in the movie. I absolutely loved Freddy slowly stalking looking for them. Out of no where he pushed a car onto him was genius!!! Everything about that moment always sticked with me a long time.

Joey gets tricked by Freddy disguised as a nude chick from a poster. I used to have a water bed a long time ago. After watched that kill scene it made thinking of them not safe. I previously was funny about Kristen's recasting. After some reddit comments, I took a closer look at Tuesday's performance. I got to be honest, I actually felt she brought the character to life more.

No disrespect the original actress Patricia Arquette. In fact, Arquette went up to Knight telling her. She was better at the role than she was. Knight stated how surprised she was being told that by her. Kristen ends up getting burnt alive while saving Alice from Freddy. Concluding the last of the group from the previous movie.

Now that was quite ballsy to have Freddy kill all three remaining members off like that. At the same time, this director made such a risky move that worked incredibly well. Sheila gets a mess up nightmare with an ending people still talking about. She fell asleep during an exam in school. Freddy took advantage of the situation.

We get to see one of her hand suddenly goes into a portal. Quickly followed up by a robot's hand attacking her face. This all ends with Freddy sucking her completely up from the inside. You could say he sucked the life out of her. The special effects of Sheila getting sucked up was amazingly well done. Freddy does a time loop with two characters while killing off Debbie.

You literately see Alice go up to Dan. Quickly the two in Dan's truck drives to Debbie's. Then the cycle repeats a few times during the nightmare fuel kill scene. I really gotta talk about the ending portions of the movie. Dan gets forced to wake up during an operation at a hospital. Alice takes on Freddy in a church.

I simply from start to finish loved this entire portion of the movie. Freddy allows Alice to beat him up while laughing. Then Alice starts using powers from some of his victims against him. I always loved seeing the two carefully moving on top of the sits at the church while fighting each other. The sudden surprise Alice gets out a device then forced wires into it.

The special effect of a beam going through Freddy's chest was unbelievable in a good way. Alice also wore particular stuff some of the victims wore making such a moment stand out more. Freddy about to close in on the kill. We get possibly the greatest Freddy death scene in history. Alice forced the souls inside Freddy to rebel against him.

We actually get to see a large portions of his body being overtaken by his victims. This was among the hardest to pull off special effects in the entire movie. This also was one of two deaths in the dream world. If you count Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Story wise, it all fits in perfectly. Properly connecting the events of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3.

I also felt this is easily one of the greatest versions. For Freddy I have ever seen I'm not kidding!!! Even Englund himself stated this movie had his favorite Freddy performance. Despite not a clear direction he quickly adapted to end up delivering such a great performance. I also liked day dreams gotten included. Anything that directly affects your mind.

Freddy can easily exploit to his advantage. I also should mention Joey has a more speaking role this time. I do agree Kristen's constant fear of Freddy did bring him back. Thus, every kill he makes in this movie was also her fault. In a weird way, it's like Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. Where Tommy Jarvis caused the undead killer to come back to life.

Now going by that logic, this would mean every kill from Part VI to Jason Goes to Hell was his fault. I love the big twist of the movie theater dream. Alice realizes she's watching herself to end up getting sucked into the movie. Which quickly reminded me of a movie called Last Action Hero. Before she gets into the movie was a rather cool attention to detail.

She notices everyone in the sits was Freddy's victims in the movie up to that point. All of them suddenly enjoying the movie as Alice gets sucked in. Not long after that, Alice sits nearby Freddy at a diner. Freddy gets served a pizza with some of his victims now as meatballs. The server turned out to be a older Alice further freaking her out.

We actually get to see Freddy eat one of these meatballs. Everything about that moment puts chills down your spine. They may already been killed but to relive dying in such a fashion is truly mess up!!! This is right before Freddy goes after Debbie. I also loved the famous junkyard world shot. We already knew Kincaid screwed prior.

Adding in that shot showing the entire world is a giant junkyard. The director really didn't hold back on the imagination here. Personally both the following sequels felt tired as well as somewhat uninspired. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 felt like a worthy successor to the original movie as well. Especially for a Freddy movie he ultimately didn't get to work on.

The famous house gets reused a few times. After Kristen's death, literately started each gets their own nightmare experience. I also gotta mention the famous Freddy picture that suddenly burns up. Honestly, even the little things stands out in this Freddy movie. I do see why Craven loved this sequel so much? It was a proper sequel to not only the previous entry.

It also directly continues after the original. But at the same time, Freddy was close enough to Craven's vision of the character. Excluding the second movie, those three Freddy movies could've worked as a trilogy. Yes I seen that video from horror YouTuber Cody Leach about his favorite horror movie trilogies.

No disrespect to that video, it's a worthy choice for Freddy, My actual favorite Freddy trilogy was 1, 3 and New Nightmare. Craven was directly involved with all three Freddy movies. A few actors including Robert Englund came back despite the loose connections in New Nightmare. To be fair, either Freddy trilogy is better than doing the typical direction with A Nightmare on Elm Street 2.

To me, that movie wasn't a proper Freddy movie. Just like Leprechaun: Origins didn't actually use leprechauns!!! Especially with such an unique concept of an undead killer manipulating your dreams. I did expect more than that disaster!!! I also never had an issue with the main actor being gay being a straight character.

Officially many actors and actresses done it both ways for years. Why was that such an issue I'm not even sure? I felt he did the best he could with what was given to him. This is exactly why I place A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 so low in my own ranking. Still ended up being a little better than A Nightmare on Elm Street 5.

Somehow Freddy's Dead was a bit more enjoyable to me. Despite some of the big problems that Freddy movie had. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 was a true master piece. Even considering a lot of horror movies of that era just kept getting sequels. This is easily among the best of them in that era. I highly recommend checking out this Freddy movie!!!

I felt the movie as a whole had the perfect balance just like A Nightmare on Elm Street 3. Just using fewer characters with fewer deaths. But both Freddy movies were quite impressive. We actually get to see how evil of a person Krueger is in this movie. The creativity behind a lot of the scenes alone makes it a great one to revisit.

My lineup for a future Capcom Fighting Collection game

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I been really enjoying these fighting game compilations since 2022. Several people online already threw out their picks for a future fighting game compilation. I figured why not do the same here? There's still a lot of Capcom fighting games left to choose from. Usually would exclude any licensed games but I'm making a few exceptions.

Capcom Fighting Collection 3

1. Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II

2. Rival Schools: United by Fate

3. Star Gladiator - Episode 1: Final Crusade

4. Tech Romancer

5. Heavy Metal: Geomatrix

6. Spawn: In The Demon's Hand

7. Final Fight Revenge

8. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Ring of Destruction would count since it never gotten ported. It's a lesser known sequel to Saturday Night Slam Masters. The original itself included in Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium. Both are awesome wrestling style fighting games. After playing a few games in Capcom Fighting Collection 2. I would like to play both Rival Schools and Star Gladiator soon.

Still a bit weird they went with their sequels. But I guess they had to create some hype for a future collection. Tech Romancer is similar to Cyberbots where you pilot mechs to face each other. Often labeled as a spiritual successor to that. I'm up for some giant robot action myself. Spawn: In The Demon's Hand with it's own spiritual successor, Heavy Metal: Geomatrix for arena style fighting action!!!

One of the best Spawn games I never gotten to play. The Angry Video Game Nerd episode made the game so awesome!!! I even felt his creator would allow Capcom to bring that Spawn game back. Final Fight Revenge isn't a good fighting game. But considering they recently brought back Capcom Fighting Evolution.

It is safe to assume any or all their fighting games could come back in some form. I kept seeing people requesting for their JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fighting game. I actually missed out on a newer port of that JoJo game. I felt right now with Part 7 being animated. Capcom could bring it back again with a decent lineup of classic fighting games to spice it up.

I didn't considered their licensed beat 'em up games. To be honest, they never directly confirmed if they were looking into them. Just directly their older fighting games up for consideration. By now everyone knows The Punisher Arcade game gotten into MvC Collection. However that started a series of deals as well as a legendary partnership through out the 90s.

It doesn't look up we're getting a third entry in Capcom Arcade Stadium either. Otherwise I also would've listed both their Dungeons & Dragons beat 'em up games. They already brought back both their classic Arcade fighting Mega Man games in Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium. Of course, I had to mention their Alien vs. Predator beat 'em up game.

Just imagine the lineup plus those amazing licensed beat 'em up games. Even with crap like Final Fight Revenge you wouldn't care. I don't wanna give off the wrong impression. If we get a future entry it might be the last one. Even if that turns out to be the case. I just hope the same team working on that. All three of these fighting game compilations been truly amazing!!!

The other big issue is having licensed games shortens how long this collection could be available for. As long all parties are sticking together. I just don't wanna find out a few months it's already gone. Just when I could afford the collection is something I don't wanna experience. Yes MvC Collection is all licensed video games.

The previous MvC game compilation didn't stay up longer than a few years. Then again, Marvel directly brought them back with the newer game compilation. This time, all parties sticking together means a longer than expected shelf life. Also considering Capcom Fighting Collection 2 split between 2D and 3D fighting games.

The emulation going to be amazing when a newer entry comes out. We also don't know if some games they already brought back could show up as well. Which would make things confusing but at the same time bring up a lot of discussions. You could get a lot of their arcade fighting games outside these fighting game compilations.

I am talking mostly about Street Fighter series. This also could mean we could get an SF exclusive fighting game compilation that doesn't suck. It really depends which direction Capcom wants to go? They may face backlash bringing any of those fighting games back again. Although for some of them the newer ports would bring a lot more to the overall experience.

Capcom could do a lot with the theme. I just don't think a follow up to their Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle going to happen. Honestly, I been absolutely loving how they been with these fighting game compilations. As long as they don't alter things too much. A future entry going to be quickly welcomed to new comers.

I'm sure some of the big fighting game streamers/youtubers going to be happy to play some of them again. The door is open for the possibilities. Capcom could easily throw a curve ball or two with the lineups. On the bright side, they even made Capcom Fighting Evolution something I could play to a degree.

If they could do that then I'm not worried about Final Fight Revenge in a future entry. I highly doubt they bring back the original Street Fighter again. They already brought it back a few times with Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium being it's best port. Still a real pain to play though. The only other issue is they may go through more engines within these fighting games than previously.

This means the overall emulation going to be very tricky to pull off. Some could describe it as trying to emulate an Sega Saturn game on an emulator. But possibly more complex just not quite many platforms outside Arcade included situation. I do think Capcom going in the right way going to knock it out the park again.

Who knows what the next actual lineup going to be? I am assuming in the near future possibly late 2026 we may hear something. I don't think we're getting a new entry this year. I was surprised Capcom announced two of them close by each other. There's still a huge enough release gap to not feel too overwhelmed.

What I do know is they always do a truly amazing job in every possible way. Sometimes the surprises you don't expect has such a huge impact. Like playing as previously unplayable boss characters could be awesome depending on games. We knew Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper had a lot of modes? Of course, I want enough replay value to keep coming back to em.

More recently, these fighting game compilations been more worth it than newer actual fighting games. Seriously who wanna put close to double maybe triple the price of those games in? In a few rare cases I'm fine with that. Considering those handful of newer fighting games actually worth the additional money.

Let's be honest, I knew I couldn't stay on that greedy train. I rather have more guarantee solid fighting game experience with as less DLCs as possible. Long term these fighting game compilations really packs in the game play justifying their prices. Capcom Fighting Collection 3 is likely getting nominated for a future Best Fighting Game award.

There's a huge chance even if I didn't play it yet I'm going to vote for it. No disrespect towards Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. I still felt Capcom Fighting Collection 2 should've won for a few reasons. But I'm more okay with that than Tekken 8 beating out MvC Collection. Especially since Season 2, Tekken 8 fallen so much!!!

Suddenly my vote for that MvC Collection felt justified. I do think Capcom going to make sure a newer entry going to be amazing. I know a lot of people wish Crossplay was a feature. Even if they don't do that people still loving these game compilations. Personally I wanna play em by myself. Online can get rather repetitive turning people off.

Honestly, I have a very high standards for this fighting game compilation series. They even made Red Earth among the biggest surprises in early 2020s. If they could do that just imagine what else could be given such a great come back as well? I always waiting patiently to play a newer entry. None of them either disappointed me even with removing or changing minor stuff.

Comparing the Endings of the Dark Trio

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, it's been a little over a week since Chainsaw Man manga ended. I never seen such a mixed reception for an manga ending in a long time. Either you like maybe love it or actually dislike to hating the ending altogether? Then I got thinking I could discuss a little more about that while comparing the endings of the other two series in the Dark Trio.

When I started writing about the Dark Trio. I previously gave my first thoughts on each stories' first chapters. I think it's time to do end things by doing what I think of their endings. Plus additional thoughts on Chainsaw Man's ending. Keep in mind, this is strictly my opinion alone. I'm up to discussing some of this as long as people are respectful.

Hell's Paradise

Chapter 127

The previous chapter the surviving characters split. Only the samurai gotten the reward for the mission from the shogun. They knew the shogun wouldn't allow more than one criminal to get forgiven for their crimes. You get to see where everyone went with a few characters sticking together. The actual final chapter Sagiri came to visit Gabimaru.

He was still asleep during her visit while she spent time with his wife. It also was revealed Chobei Aza was reborn more actively into crime with his brother. I know some felt this was a safe ending. Man it was such a beautifully written ending for such a story. There's no question the best ending the Dark Trio has to offer.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Chapter 271 and Epilogue

The previous chapter started up Yuji's group working on stopping this guy. Nothing major actually happens making it felt like a huge waste of time. The final concept introduced then dropped was Yuji offered to guide him as a jujutsu sorcerer. We know it's a dropped concept because virtually nothing about that in the sequel at all.

Epilogue quickly concluded several character's stories. Yuji possibly hooks up with Yuko we don't actually know in the sequel story. Panda is in a much smaller form that does cameo in that story. The same portion has Yuta and Maki's grandkids. Who are some of the main characters in the sequel story. Nobara confronts her mother it's nothing special.

We also get to see an conversation in the afterlife with Sukuna. Very little of this was followed up on in the sequel story. Honestly, I do agree Epilogue was a little better than the final chapter. At the same time, I easily could've said it's not worth reading both of them. Ultimately you are going to feel a huge disappointment.

Chainsaw Man

Chapter 232

https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2026/03/chainsaw-man-2018-2026-both-parts-review.html

Updated thoughts on Chainsaw Man's ending

I recently covered the final two chapters in a previous blog entry. Don't worry I will link that to save those interested time. Some people actually pointed out some good points about the ending. For example, Denji wields a chainsaw in the final chapter. Previously Pochita whose the Chainsaw Devil erased himself.

A lot of people don't realize thanks to Nuclear Weapons Devil. Weapon devils can be reinvented bringing those devils back into existence. Therefore, it shouldn't be that big of a surprise. They didn't expect the possibility chainsaws could still exist in the new time line. There's the famous assumption that the Death Devil now has the power to erase devils from existence.

Which actually would line up in a few ways within the new time line. In either time line, the Death Devil was considered the most powerful devil in existence. It never was explained how the Chainsaw Devil gained that ability prior to the reset. Many people assumed that power came from the Death Devil.

After the Death Devil was erased by Pochita. Every single way anyone previously died completely off the table. She also represents majority forms of fears. Which also meant Pochita effectively erased all related devils the same time as her. I know this is getting very ridiculous. Now considering she possibly has the ability to erase devils from existence would further solidify her status among the devils.

A lot of people Why Nayuta showed up instead of Makima? Originally Makima wanted to use Chainsaw Devil's power to erase devils to her advantage. Makima caused a lot of deaths within Part 1 of the story. There's some signs proving she was using Denji the entire time. Including their first meeting after the Zombie Devil and zombies slaughtered.

She actually never cared for Denji. She had this weird obsession with the Chainsaw Devil. We may not fully know her plan. There's some hints, she would've used that power on some of her sisters. When she looks at Denji, she only sees Pochita. Which ended up working against her in the final battle of Part 1. Denji cared enough to devour Makima until nothing was left out of love.

Denji had a more personal connection with Nayuta. I may not have the answer regarding Makima herself. In the original timeline, Denji acted like a big brother to Nayuta. It is possible traits of that altered reality during a reset. Which would explain why Nayuta instead of Makima showed up? A lot of people were freaking out Aki doesn't show up.

In the original time line, Aki joined Public Safety while wanting to venge his family from the Gun Devil. We find out late into Part 1, Makima controlled that devil. Which meant she manipulated his life to better suit her plans. It's unclear about the Gun Devil in the new time line. But it's safe to assume Aki in this new time line never joined Public Safety.

The assumption being he ends up living a normal life with a family. Never wanting revenge against the Gun Devil in the first place. This also meant Denji possibly never met Aki in the new time line. We only have one chapter to go on. Obviously this also prevented War Devil possessing Asa as well. Notably happier than she originally was in the old time line.

Some people were even confused Reze doesn't show up. Personally this is more of a minor thing despite liking Reze a lot. A lot of people forgotten she's an assassin. She went to America on a mission that's it. She did ended up having some feelings for her target. In the new time line, Denji's first major love interest was Asa.

Reze only shown up because a lot of people wanted to use Chainsaw Devil's powers. In the new time line that's no longer a possibility. Ultimately preventing the last three arcs of Part 1 from happening. You also got to consider she came from Russia to do that mission. Without Pochita, she possibly never left Russia.

The big thing to take away from this is majority of the events in Part 1 were manipulated by Makima in the old time line. The assumption going by the old time line logic is Makima already dead. Which by itself would raise a lot of questions. Nayuta was the next Control Devil replacing Makima in the story. I kept thinking of a mess up possibility.

Assuming this gets confirm by the author. As many Chainsaw Man fans knows a lot of devils were erased from existence by Chainsaw Devil. Among a long list of them is AIDS Devil. In the old time line, Fumiko made a deal with the STD Devil. Everyone knows both STD and AIDS are sexual transmitted diseases.

The point I'm about to make strangely does make sense if it ends up being true. In the old time line, Makima made a particular deal connecting to the entire population of Japan. Is it possible with AIDS Devil existing, a lot of people with the disease caused Makima's death? Indirectly Makima would've died from the disease.

Keep in mind a lot of what I'm saying is true. A good amount of what I'm also saying is my best possible guesses. Especially if the author does follow things up with the new time line. Honestly, I don't think the new time line going to get as bad as late Part 2 of the story. There's still going to be a lot of chaos with many destroyed buildings with a huge body count.

She's also one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse all female devils in canon. The only other possible explanation why Nayuta showed up instead? As reality getting reset while removing Chainsaw Devil from the equitation altogether. Somehow Makima was missing due to being previously devoured by Denji who lacked the ability to erase devil until merge form.

Such weird logic trying to explain but the very logic I came to accept from the franchise. What if Denji devoured Makima in several dishes? In a rather unexpected way caused her to not be presented within the new time line. Indirectly solidifying Denji's placement in that time line. Basically triggered a possibility no one could've predicted.

This isn't even bringing up Nayuta originally was her reincarnation. Unlike Makima, her death didn't present a problem while resetting everything. Imagine Reverse-Flash went back in time to kidnapped a childhood friend of Barry Allen. Then removed him from time effectively erasing him altogether. In a more mess up way that's what exactly happened!!!

In the old time line, Katana Man held a grudge against Denji over his deceased grandfather. Despite the fact, Zombie Devil killed then possessed his corpse. In the new time line, he would still hold a grudge against him. Now he also would hold one against Power. I do like that concept of what could come from this.

This could've led to Katana Man becoming his nemesis rather than War Devil. In the new time line, Denji just a normal human. Just imagine the famous train fight with Power in place of Denji. Now that actually would've been cinema stuff. This also prevents the guy who became Fake Chainsaw Man from becoming a monster as well as a lot of people.

This reset heavily prevents a lot of arcs in Part 2 from happening. It doesn't mean they still wouldn't have an apocalypse. The assumption going to be the Death Devil as stated in a prediction within the story. Clearly I'm putting a lot of thought into this. I know it's crazy ideally how differently the story going to be following a reset.

Due to a reset, War Devil would never went for a ridiculous reality warping plan. Effectively removing that apocalypse from happening. Death Devil won't be erased in the new time line. Automatically removes devils devouring humans for an eternity apocalypse as well. It's safe to say the original foreseen end of humanity left in play here.

I also notice a lot of people felt too many questions with not enough answers. A reset virtually made that pointless because we're starting over again fresh. I kept thinking about this ending for a long time. I still felt it's a good way to end the story. The ending itself proven Chainsaw Man always had the craziest potential in the Dark Trio.

Conclusion

Jujutsu Kaisen easily had the most rushed, unsatisfying ending of the Dark Trio. I'll be very honest, neither felt necessary. I could've stopped a chapter before being slightly more fine. To me, both felt like a huge waste of time. Chainsaw Man doing a reset brought back the possibilities. It was a well written final chapter.

Sure it's not perfect but it's still giving me a lot more than JJK's ending. Even that pales to Hell's Paradise's ending. Easily, among the greatest manga endings I ever seen!!! There really isn't much to criticize here. Actually felt quite satisfied following the ending. I know two of these endings are heavily criticized.

The first chapters was much closer than this. All of those chapters were beautifully written. Great artwork starting up the plot of their respective stories. The endings is more a bit mixed but there's some good things among them. I know I'm not talking about Chainsaw Man Part 1's ending. But when people think of Chainsaw Man's ending, it's regarding Part 2's final chapter.

To be honest, even that's a better ending than JJK. It left the door open for more story leading into Part 2. Yes majority of the events were reset to never happened. I can get behind a story that took such a huge risk. Especially compared to another story guilty constantly introducing concepts. Then quickly dropping em right up the final chapter is a rather difficult pill to swallow.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Rien (Hell's Paradise) vs Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen) vs War Devil (Chainsaw Man)

Hello everyone I been secretly planning another Death Battle fight prediction blog with Sukuna. I will be honest I find the main protagonists of the Dark Trio Battle Royale. A bit boring for my taste despite how much I like those characters. No we gotta go more extreme with the main antagonists of the Dark Trio instead.

Now I know a lot of people may ask which one are you using from Chainsaw Man? The other two spots are selected as well as finished my research on those characters. Personally it kinda won't matter which devil I used here. I actually got some rather strong arguments for either devil.

I will confirm if I had went with Makima she's easily winning this fight. But it just wasn't quite the angle I wanted to do. I decided to take a huge risk by selecting her sister, War Devil instead. For anyone that came across Chapter 210 you already know why. I possibly already gave away who I believe going to win this three way fight.

Verdict
War Devil

I will start with Rien not because she's a lady. In fact, two of them are female characters. Not a threesome to clarify you sick perverts lol. Rien was easily the strongest character in Hell's Paradise. She had more actual experience than Sukuna by a few hundred years. Assuming her fighting style plays into which element type her soul is.

Sukuna very likely would end up as fire. In turn using fire against Rien strengths her Earth trait. She also has proven to be more of a strategist than Sukuna as well. She even fooled Lord Tensen a group of plant like humans she created for centuries. If you also wanna count her having two additional arms than Sukuna in her full power form.

The big issue is Rien has a limit of half an hour before she's done. Which is very bad considering both her opponents. Sukuna in majority of the final battle faced a lot of characters. Obviously a lot longer in length meaning he easily wound last enough to win against her. Plus he has some huge techniques Rien lacks solid counters for.

Such as his Domain Expansion that does act as a separate plain of existence. Plus the user gains instant hit radius. Although there was a notable part during one of his Domain Expansions. It's possible to dodge or avoid getting slashes if he's performing at a distance. A close encounter variation could be lethal for her. He also possessed Megumi's body gaining summons.

Including Mahorage who did at one point adapt to Gojo's Limitless. To clarify, this isn't how Gojo loss that fight. A rather poor written mistake by Gojo led to his own defeat. Confirmed by the author himself no less. I know some Jujutsu Kaisen fans quickly go for Sukuna. Characters like Sukuna easily lose to more powerful beings outside their universes.

Simply because he "defeated" Gojo. In truth he dropped his guard at the worst possible time. It's not a real argument why Sukuna should win this fight. I could also argue Sukuna's slightly higher power scaling than Rien. I still got to point out she does have regeneration to a degree. I know some won't consider such factors much.

Ultimately none of this matters regarding War Devil. I'm about to drop some massive spoiler bombs!!! At the beginning of Part 2, War Devil was weakened. To the point, Asa accept her offer to get possessed to save her life. Since then War Devil kept getting more terrifying. It's essentially one of the biggest concepts within Part 2 of Chainsaw Man!!!

Experience wise, every devil represents particular concepts. Depending how feared they are by humanity determines how powerful they are. Obviously this can a rather broken power scaling system. The oldest confirmed war in history was Sumer-Elam War back all the way in 2700 BCE. It's safe to say not even close!!!

We're talking a few thousand years old. Both her opponents give or take has a little over an thousand years. Now considering she directly represents war. She can use abilities other weapon devils. Such as Gun Devil that once treated as a weapon of mass destruction. Literately no joke you could look this up too.

Keep in mind, this wasn't even a completed Gun Devil either. This thing killed thousands of people with ease. More recently she replaced her vessel's arms with Gun and Tank Devil respectively. Tank Devil arm was capable of firing nearly every weapon she created. A rather ridiculous move she's done against such a powerful devil.

Yes she once fired a huge blast filled with mostly bladed weapons. Earlier in Part 2, War Devil or her host had to touch people, places or objects to transmute em. After enough power boosting she simply does it without physical contact. This ability even worked on Falling Devil. This devil represents physical as well as mental aspects of falling.

A truly ridiculous feat I had to bring up. Falling Devil was claimed by Death Devil. She may not have full access to her maximum potential. She was among Primal Fears, the most feared devils in existence. Literately everything else couldn't do anything to them. These devils are feared around the world. They truly are terrifying beings.

Even country level devils can't do much to them. Country level devils is simply beyond her two opponents in power scaling. Neither of her opponents has solid counters for transmutation. She defeated Falling Devil due to America reinvented nuclear weapons. Which means there's a new Nuclear Weapons Devil in existence.

She attempted to do the same to her sister Death Devil. But Chainsaw Devil devoured her removing death altogether. Thankfully in this fight I won't be including that factor. Even if I did War Devil still could transmute her opponents to win. She even was powerful enough to transform the state Oregon into a sword yes this actually happened!!!

Possibly an translation mistake originally thought to be Michigan actually was Oregon.

Which left it's civilians in the water questioning what just happened? You know a being truly terrifying when they're across the other side of the world. Yet they can still do such mind blowing stuff with ease. Even if the price being paid so happens to be people's lives ultimately. War Devil joys causing such ugly stuff.

I think the lesson here is no one truly save from War Devil. She can terrorize you in the real world or in hell possibly being worst. Plus having a lot of devils on her side makes it even more terrifying. War Devil is tyranny at it's absolute worst!!! Personally I view her with war theme powers Vegeta lol. I mean come on you had to seen that joke coming miles away!!! 

The previous one was devoured by Chainsaw Devil. For those that doesn't know it means you get erased from existence. Thanks to Aging Devil Arc, we actually see this concept truly works both ways. You wanna see some truly ridiculous stuff look no further than this. War Devil has access to bombs as well as nuclear weaponry.

If you seen what Bomb Devil done back in Part 1. You know such a power can be truly terrifying. Now adding in nuclear weapons makes her much worst. She is a walking nuke, an Metal Gear? Nuclear wasn't even in the other two stories. It's debatable if Sukuna would be aware of such an concept. The sad truth is War Devil can win at anytime she wants.

I still haven't talked about the ridiculous long range shot she shot either. By this point in the story she was Country level devil. She transmuted the Statute of Liberty from all the way in Japan. Then she controlled her creation with a massive rifle. Fired nearly destroying Chainsaw Devil within impact. Chainsaw Devil is strikingly durable with great regeneration.

You know the same variation of the devil her sister Makima once banged. As in their crazier take of doing the handgun posture. In this case, instantly fires force that can easily destroy those not strong enough with ease. Yes I am referencing the famous Happy Birthday Deni!!! bang moment. Considering her ego, she would've called her variation of that the Big Bang!!!

Later on, War Devil transmutes parts of the moon. Which is more ridiculous distance from anything we seen in the series. I had to look up the distance of the moon to the earth. 238,900 mi. NASA could send an team of astronauts to the moon in three days. This isn't considering the rotation of the solar system either.

She transmute the American flag that's placed on the moon into a homing spear. Again I don't think either of her opponents could predict such a move. Not to mention, the insane force from the moon to the earth. This more likely could take both of them out. Although Sukuna could possibly survive by the skin of his teeth at the last moment.

I already used a sex joke earlier I didn't want to use another here. Not to mention Chainsaw Devil fell to the ground fine. I also gottta confirm a giant finger was fired from that distance. Which later failed against Aging Devil. So we do know devils from Country to lower can be defeated by this shot. Clearly someone loved guns as a kid lol.

Gravity involved compared to more raw force of that impressive shot. We do know the force of that shot much greater. Even if Sukuna used Hollow Wicker Basket. Which acts as a shield to protect the user. The technique itself has very clear limitations. Let's be honest that shot there's no way Sukuna could know it's coming.

Neither could this technique withstand the force of that shot. I don't even entertain the possibility of Sukuna escaping by the skin of his teeth. Just knowing War Devil can transmute a landmark by a few thousands miles away. Her possible attack range is much higher than her opponents. She also could use the famous Bang attack as well.

She done this from Japan to New York. Then through manipulating the statute itself to fire back to Japan. This clearly took some time to pull off. But this shot made War Devil a force to be reckoning with. Sukuna's main defenses would easily shatter to those shots. Regardless how an Domain Expansion ends.

The user will be at a disadvantage for a little while. Just facing Gojo not quite full power. Sukuna went through this problem a few times along with his opponent. War Devil could fire a shot before he activates his Domain Expansion. Sadly this would be a huge waste of time to War Devil. She simply could enjoy getting sliced up while other people gets the short end of the stick.

Prior to defeating Falling Devil, she previously tried facing Aging Devil. Whose a ridiculous Primal Fear devil himself. This devil has a lot of powers including an dimension. Where you can't age, use your devil powers or die by natural causes. She taken on a bigger variety of abilities than Rien. Sukuna barely edges out War Devil just in the final battle alone.

All of that plus War Devil with her sisters makes up the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!!! Even with Famine Devil not being that strong. The other three can be quite terrifying. I knew Makima would easily win for many reasons I can't say for her sister. Even assuming War Devil would register as a fire elemental type towards Rien.

I personally don't think that's going to matter at all. For it to even remotely matter we would be talking a huge power boost. Just by facing someone of a particular element type you're strong against. Although the opposite of facing the opposite element you're weak against also exists. Especially when fear from humanity directly plays into a devil's power increasing.

So does devils making deals with humans. Let's talk about Fire Devil for a good moment. We're talking over three hundred thousand people made deals with that devil. None of them realize he wasn't Judgment Devil. Who previously gotten killed by Falling Devil. If a devil starts doing things people can get behind.

It actually has the opposite affect weakening a devil. So does a newly reincarnated devil starting new rather than what the previous devil had in it's life cycle had. By the way you may notice many things Death Battle gotten quite wrong about Gojo vs Makima. In all honestly, War Devil already has too many scary advantages in this fight.

Speaking of Makima, War Devil also made a deal with the Governor of California. A similar deal the President of the United States once made with the Gun Devil. Well a huge notable portion of that devil to clarify. War Devil has over thirty million lifes connected. Her sister, Control Devil had another similar deal with the prime minister.

Essentially Rien and Sukuna would have to kill War Devil over thirty million times to win. She also transformed Accident Devil into a chainsaw whip. First direct hit took more than half Chainsaw Devil's body. Not to mention, this also sent Chainsaw Devil flying into a building afterwards. Not even the King of Curses isn't this level of evil!!!

This also means even if she were the weakest among them. Obviously more lifes loss in that regard. Both her opponents still has just one life each other. No I'm not doing the special condition rule Death Battle with Gojo vs Makima either. Even if I had, either of her opponents could've cause their own demise instead.

Denji discovered some flaws to her powers. Such as if either of her opponents somehow tricks her into thinking they're superior. She can't alter them along with a rather critical flaw. The very proof is in the contract she signed with the Governor of California. When she gets hurt, it's civilians play the price. However if she directly harms herself.

War Devil doesn't regenerate from those injuries. Which means there's a loop hole that could potentially save a lot of people. Although considering how tactical War Devil is. I highly doubt she'll harm herself often to better her opponents' chances at winning. Ultimately, these are the kind of flaws neither of them could figure out in time.

Let's be honest, even if she thinks Sukuna somehow superior to her preventing one possibility from happening. She still has plenty ways to win this fight. War Devil is already fighting dirty from the start. Her existence is conceptual unlike her opponents. Even if one of them takes her out a big if. Eventually a new War Devil would be born not necessary a victory for the show.

I do need to mention Chainsaw Devil devoured Barem who was possessed by Flamethrower Devil. His devil represents a particular weapon not actual fire. Now that's exactly what Fire Devil represents in comparison. Personally I don't think this affected War Devil much. War Devil herself represents many composite fears rolled into one.

Therefore, she easily could get more powerful by getting people afraid of her than most devils. She represents war obviously along with guns, bombs, tanks and nuclear weapons!!! Nuclear bombs could cover easily a blast radius of around fifty miles per an hour. Not to mention, these were designed to make sure any form of life gone!!!

Yes War Devil through sacrificing people even without Death Devil existing. I know such logic bags a lot of questions with not enough answers. By sacrificing the population of a state. In this case being the state of Virginia. she can do Nuclear Punch. As the name heavily implies it's literately punching someone with the force of a nuke!!!

Again I highly doubt either of her opponents would survive or even defend against such a powerful blow. In theory this could speed up the process of ending her. At the same time, she actually crazy enough to use such tactics. We're truly dealing with one of the evilest characters I ever covered. I covered so many that really speaks volumes how evil War Devil is!!!

Neither of War Devil's opponents has anything close to this. They also lack a solid defense from such an scary raw force factor. She virtually a walking nuke possibly an Metal Gear!!! LOL oh come on you knew that was coming haha. On a more serious note, she does have access to bombs that isn't nuclear. Plus adding in transmutation to whatever War Devil wants to use.

It's a constant guessing game what War Devil going to do? By now you can see how truly unfair War Devil is? I felt she's the most broken among the three antagonists in this fight by a huge margin. She also could fight the most reckless to still win the fight. Of course, that heavily plays into her massive ego as well as cockiness.

To be fair, War Devil easily wins majority of the advantages in this three way fight. She simply too well able or broken as a character to lose. Sukuna would still lose if he had claim his final finger. War Devil at her core the most evil among them. Which means she'll even do things either Rien or Sukuna would hesitate to do?

War Devil might be a bit kind to let the two of them face each other. I doubt she'll wait long to finish the fight. Plus more devils could come to her aid is a bad sign. Accident Devil represents fear of accidents. Mostly vehicle theme or location collapsing accidents that could get rather tragic. This by itself would work too into War Devil's favor.

For example if she were to get surprisingly low on lifes. She could easily call in a few devils to hold em off. You also gotta realize each devil works differently in their own unique way. Some are more about making deals with humans. Others are more about terrorizing people. Personally I'm more afraid of the devils that makes deals a bit more.

This is also important because along with fear from humanity. Deals could also potentially increase a devil's power. Like if a devil made a lot of deals or just a deal that affects a lot of people at once. Which are both real possibilities within the Chainsaw Man universe. We know this because of Fire Devil. Who pretended to be Justice Devil while making deals that notably boosted his powers.

Funny enough the real Justice Devil does show up in Part 2 as well. Going back to a few deals with leaders involved playing heavily into that. Now that's two broken ways War Devil's powers gets boost up. Neither her opponents could do anything about. In a long term fight, this means War Devil could easily one up em or simply out last em altogether.

She also commands a lot of devils a little trickery to keep proper count though. They can arrive straight from hell too. Jujutsu Kaisen doesn't reveal much about it's afterlife process. We do know Sukuna was close being born with a twin. Until he devoured him in the spiritual womb I'm not kidding. Although he still ended up being born as Yuji's father.

Which makes Sukuna of all people Yuji's spiritual uncle. Considering Yuji's weirder siblings created by Kenjaku. It's a rather mess up family tree. The entire point is parts of the concept were altered before he was born. In all honestly means little to devils in Chainsaw Man universe. Even if they were able to kill her off fully.

She would eventually be reborn as another person like her sister Control Devil. Sadly neither of her opponents are capable of erasing a devil's existence to get a more assured victory. The fact War Devil's powers can affect countries away from Japan speaks volumes. Just how more insanely powerful she truly is. War Devil is simply way too much for them even if they had help.

Winner: War Devil (Chainsaw Man)
