Death Battle Fight Prediction: Madara Uchiha (Naruto) vs. Sosuke Aizen (Bleach)

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I already wrote two related blogs on this particular fight debate. Which is way more fun to discuss than Yhwach vs. Kaguya debate. Sorry but Kaguya can't compete with such a broken character. I talked a great deal about Yhwach in the past, I personally dislike him so much. At least, we do have a fight with Madara & Aizen here.

Madara Uchiha


Madara was a close friend to the original hokage himself but his jealous as well as his thirst for power quickly turn them into enemies. Technically dead, he manipulated several shinobis including Obito into doing such a ridiculous plan. Around the time he was alive, Madara was the leader of the Uchiha clan.


Sosuke Aizen


Aizen was a soul reaper captain with alternative goals. Along with former captains Toshin & Gin, left the soul society with the hogyoku. Aizen used it to create an army of Arrancars. Essentially hollows with soul reaper's powers to clarify. Later on, he had a change of heart late in the story to help take down Yhwach.

(I'll try to shorten down their long list of abilities to save time)
Powers and Abilities

Madara Uchiha


+Superhuman Strength
+Superhuman Speed
+Superhuman Endurance
+Superhuman Durability (yes that includes his armor)
+Body Modifications (more of a deception technique)
+Ninjutsu
+Bukiutsu (weapon based techniques)
+Capable of manipulating all five elements
+Yin-Yang Release
+Mangekyo Sharingan
+Rinnegan
+Rinne Sharingan (required for the Infinite Tsukuyomi)
+Has Jinchuriki Forms (debatable if Death Battle would give it or not)
+Enormous chakra

Before I break down Aizen, to clarify in the manga itself. Aizen no longer has an zanpkauto yet still maintains it's powers. Also the hogyoku did reject him only leaving him with regeneration. Other than that he is what Aizen likely bringing into this epic battle.

Sosuke Aizen


+Superhuman Strength
+Superhuman Speed
+Superhuman Durability
+Superhuman Endurance
+Master Manipulator
+Master Strategist & Tactician
+Kid Master
+Shunpo Master
+Master Swordsman
+Hakuda Master
+Immense Spiritual Power
+Masterful Reiastu Control
+Regeneration
+Powers of Kyoka Suigestu (capable of manipulating all five senses)

Weaknesses

Madara Uchiha


His clan is widely known for their arrogance. Madara does have a lot of techniques requiring a lot of chakra. He seems to rely on those of the tailed beasts' chakra more than his own. Under the right conditions could allow his anger to blind his judgment. Madara to some degree required help for parts for "his plan" trust me I'll go into that in the verdict.

Sosuke Aizen


Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu can be stopped if you can touch the blade before it activates. Those not effected by Kyoka Suigestu can see through the illusion. It does require his opponents must see  him in order for it to work. Aizen does under estimate a few people including Ichigo from time to time. Also due to his powers, it isn't clear how much actual combat experience he actually has.

Advantages

Madara


+Superior raw power
+Superior strength
+Superior durability for tanking greater forces
+More offensive techniques
+Greater endurance
+More weapons
+Has more overall energy

Aizen


+More overall experience
+Superior speed
+Regeneration (it isn't clear if it has limits or not)
+Can manipulate all five of senses at ease
+More defensive techniques
+Smarter
+Even if he had Kyoka Suigetsu, it is more durable than most of Madara's arsenal
+Capable of moving in the air
+Even with using his own spiritual pressure, it is still enormous amount
+Likely be invisible to Madara's eyes up to a point

Disadvantages

Madara Uchiha


-More arrogant out of the two
-More likely to get upset
-His weapons wouldn't be as durable as Kyoka Suigetsu
-Relies heavily on stuff he stolen from people including tailed beasts
-Not as intelligent as Aizen
-His eye techniques are essentially child's play to Aizen.
-Doesn't have as much experience
-More overconfident in comparison
-Doesn't have as many defensive options as Aizen
-Had a few deaths (sorry I had to make that crystal clear)

Sosuke Aizen


-Madara needs to see him or Kyoka Suigestu to be able to manipulate his senses
-It isn't clear how much actual combat experience he actually has
-It is possible for Madara to prevent him from activating his power by touching the blade
-Due to being rejected by the hogyoku, loss a great appeal of added potential

Yes I will further back up my claims from one of my previous Aizen vs. Madara blogs. I just hope this gets people to see how Aizen would truly win this fight.

Verdict


Before Naruto fans gets angry here please let me explain this in a different way. I already wrote two blogs on the same fight debate. So to greatly save you time. I will be linking both of them here within the verdict section. Thus I don't have to fully go over what I already covered. At the same time I can focus more directly on a particular impressive feat Aizen has done.

https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2019/09/why-i-think-aizen-would-win-against.html
https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2019/09/more-reasons-why-i-think-sosuke-aizen.html



I will further explain how Aizen successfully pulled something like this off.



This is more direct proof Yhwach was tricked by Aizen.



This was Aizen confirmed Ichigo never got Kyoka Suigetsu's hypnotic power. Which bags another question, how did Aizen successfully dodge Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho when it should've hit him? The answer was simple, what he already done with Kyoka Suigestu altered the protection. It was later confirmed the real Aizen was actually on the ground.

Here is clear proof to clarify what I'm talking about.



 The entire time they were actually fighting Aizen's former lieutenant Momo. The real Aizen was being treated by a few soul reapers. Majority of them were manipulated by Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu. It was Ichigo that notices something was wrong. Keep in mind, Soifon herself stated the usual limiters were turned off in order to bettering their chances at defeating Aizen.

Now back to this how Aizen easily avoided Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho at such a close range. Kyoka Suigetsu simply alters the illusion of Aizen that was a hypnotize Momo. In order to make it miss her altogether rather than allowing the attack to greatly injury or even kill her. I also think this was due to Hitsugaya was still angry at him thus needed him to attack in blind rage.


Now I talked a little about Aizen's former captain Shinji.

Shinji can reverse all basic directions as well as effects your eye sight, where you get damage. This also effects the direction of attacks. But Aizen was able to get the upper hand due to his zanpakuto can manipulate all five senses as well as being smart enough to adapt to his powers. This is further prove that Aizen can get around Madara's eye techniques.

Also Aizen's regeneration isn't clear but we seen proof it's broken.

Here Aizen tanked Ichigo's The Final Getsuga Tensho which cut him in half by pure force alone. Last I checked, not a lot of Naruto characters can survive something like this.

By the way what if Aizen with the hogyoku got used instead. Well his stats in most categories would be much greater. Although it was confirmed by several characters in the final story arc that he was more powerful. So thus removing it only removes Aizen becoming more like a hollow. Even Ichigo himself states he wasn't using his head like he normally does during combat.

For the record, Aizen was a lieutenant one hundred twenty years ago, yes this included the ten year time skip. Although we actually don't know how long he has been a soul reaper for. So it is likely to be even higher than that. Also not to add salt Aizen survived the story while Madara does die a few times.

Sorry I really had a lot to cover with Aizen. More than I was actually expecting. Now onto Madara to why he would lose this fight. It turns out both White & Black Zetsu's manipulated a lot of people including Madara into doing their own plot. Even Madara believed he created them until one particular moment.


Black Zetsu was actually Kaguya's will the entire time. Thus tricked Madara into becoming her new vessel. This was made possible because Madara was an descendant of hers. Also he had exactly what she had prior to getting sealed. Basically majority of everything that happened in Naruto was because of Kaguya not Madara himself.

Keep in mind, the technique used for effecting the world like this required a lot of people. In fact, they even put a lot of chakra into revived shinobis including Itachi. But Madara was too powerful so he was the only one to not have full chakra. This was meanly due to him possessing the nine tailed fox around one of his deaths.

Late in the actual manga, both he & Kaguya had the ten tailed beast that is virtually all the tailed beasts combined. It even states the nine tailed fox aka Kurama was a small portion of the ten tailed beast. Madara along with his clan also has a history of anger as well as jealous. So it is likely Aizen could bring that ugliness side out during this fight.

Clearly Aizen had the skills to manipulate most soul reapers, Barragan and Yhwach simply by using his powers alone. Also Madara may have eye techniques that doesn't require eye contact. He is still likely to be affected by Kyoka Suigestu since he wouldn't even know to touch his blade prior to it being activated.

In fact only one man knew about this particular flaw.


Gin wanted revenge against Aizen for nearly killing Rangiku Matsmoto a long time ago. Whose still the lieutenant of the 10th division. However this was something that happened while Aizen had the hogyoku activated. Although that was an actual flaw of his not the hogyoku itself. Madara wouldn't even notice it's spiritual pressure being difficult to spot.

It does state in the Bleach manga, each zanpakuto is another soul connected to them. In some cases, they can multiple people like the case for Renji Abarai. It also states they have equal power to the wielder. So going by Aizen being stated to have double the amount of spiritual pressure of a soul reaper captain isn't far off.

Zanpakutos are similar to Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure universe. In Bleach's universe, zanpakutos can compete with their wielders. It isn't clear if Aizen could still do this or even has an bankai. What we do know is zanpakutos can alter their appearances as well as it's abilities based on it's wielder.

Essentially zanpakutos take the form of a weapon or weapons in some soul reaper's cases thus unleashes their wielder's spiritual pressure. This is exactly why Kyoka Suigestu ends up having the durability advantage. Madara is mostly using regular weapons for the most part. Although he relies heavily on massive techniques that require so much chakra.

To sum it up, Aizen simply had better defensive options to protect him in the long run. His manipulation skills are legendary. Possibly has greater experience than what's likely given to him & capable of handling powerful characters on his own. Not only that, technically had flaws Madara wouldn't even know about is what makes Aizen truly terrifying in comparison.

Winner: Sosuke Aizen (Bleach)

More reasons why I think Sosuke Aizen would win against Madara Uchiha?

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I decided to do a follow up blog. I will try harder to directly locate said feats I'm going to discuss then explain why they're worth bringing up. Now considering the arguments I got with Naruto fans the last few weeks. I already expecting some not so pleasant comments.

1. Stops Ichigo simply by grabbing his zanpakuto

This is one of the most thrown around Aizen feats. Ichigo is one of the fastest soul reapers in his universe. Keep in mind, Ichigo was still new to his own bankai prior to this happening. Aizen simply caught a powerful strike with his hand. According to Kenpachi in his fight with Ichigo. If you attack a stronger opponent, you will get a lot of pressure.

In this particular case, Aizen was already one of the absolute strongest to ever be an soul reaper captain. He was still wearing his disguise not even using his zanpakuto to pull something like this. Sure this is a part of his greater experience. But also he caught one of the fastest recorded bankais with ease.

This meant Aizen caughting Ichigo's bankai was met with enough force to knocking him out. Which is exactly what happens following this. This also confirmed Aizen can keep up with fast moving targets easily going hyper sonic possibly greater. This is more of a strength feat since Aizen used a little of his spiritual pressure to achieve this.

Eventually these two do get a rematch but they fight briefly prior. It was later revealed by Aizen, he didn't actually hypnotize Ichigo during this event. In the same chapter late in the manga, Aizen confirmed how he pulled a massive feat off. The same trick was used on Yhwach. Ichigo does get training in an unusual part of existence due to Aizen destroyed the cleaner.


In this very training, Ichigo mastered his finishing move The Final Getsuga Tenshou. Temporary Ichigo was both older & taller then he was prior to that training. Obviously when Ichigo does an training section, he quickly becomes powerful enough to take on any opponent he's focused on. In a few rare cases this didn't work like against Grimmjow or Yhwach.

My point is Aizen one shot Ichigo with ease in their first encounter. The second fight was brief since Aizen had his own plan going. Plus a lot of people wanted to stop him. Their final duel Ichigo finally wins against him. It took a few attempts to defeat someone like Aizen. Partly Ichigo won due to Kisuke's seal he carefully planted inside Aizen.

2. Aizen easily defeats Barragan who has the power of decay
Barragan was the original king of Huedo Mondo. One of the oldest living hollows in existence. Aizen was easily able to get him to suffer. This feat ended up being more impressive as Barragan battles several characters including soul reaper captain Soifon. It was revealed Barragan has the power of decay.

He also through that power has time manipulation where he can greatly slow down attacks. His resurreccion was that of his old self. His power of decay was greatly enhanced to where several feet from him would instantly be destroyed just by touch. Soifon lost an arm to this guy just by making contact with him.

Obviously this means Aizen's manipulation of all five senses was great enough to trick Barragan. This also means Aizen using his zanpakuto was capable of avoiding direct contact with his power. As stated before Aizen got a guy like this to suffer. Barragan was also one of the strongest among his Espada being number 2, technically the third strongest among Coyote & Yammy respectively.

In the end, it took a visored named Hachigen Ushoda brilliant plan. He noticed anything that made contact with him easily breaks down & gets destroyed. So he figured what if he could trick him into killing himself. So he gave up one of his arm on purpose using kido in the form of a barrier then teleported it close enough to Barragan.


Keep in mind, he put up a different barrier trapping him inside in order to have Soifon fire her bankai right at him. Which didn't do anything to him. The only possible explainable reason is he relied on his powers even in a very tight space barrier to survive. In other words, he was capable of slowing down such a powerful rocket with ease while tanking the little of the explosion at best.

3. Aizen was stated to have twice the of spiritual pressure that soul reaper captains have
There is a few examples with not many of them being actual feats. It was revealed that Aizen was constantly focusing his spiritual pressure while bonded to a chair. At one point, Aizen was capable of powering up enough to force some of his bond limiters off. There was a man who attempted to get his bonds back on but instead got both of his hands destroyed just by being close to him.

Aizen was powerful enough when a man got too close to him to end up crushing him to death. Obviously this was just a regular guy while the man who got his hands blown off wasn't. Just in know someone points it out, yes I will be linking Aizen considering to destroy the soul king's palace. Other than these examples including one from Arrancar arc, there isn't much else to go on.


I do need to point out finding the soul king's palace can be frustrating. It is technically above the seiretei yet in another plain of existence. In this plain of existence, there is five sections each belong to a zero division captain who rivals the original head captain himself in some way. Among them is the soul king's palace where there's only two methods of getting there.

Once again it highly implies Aizen had the power to blow that place up. This is probably his best statement relating to his very own spiritual pressure. It wasn't clear if this palace was more durable or not than the seiretei. Keep in mind, this palace is a lot smaller in comparison. Regardless, a few characters convinced him to not do it worried what would happen if he would've done it.

4. Survived after being absorbed by Yhwach

Aizen was able to manipulate Yhwach who had god sight. I am officially showing proof of it here. Just in case someone says otherwise. To clarify this was actually Aizen that tricked Yhwach into thinking it was Ichigo. He done this to give Ichigo enough time to hit him with his Getsuga Tensho. Unfortunately this led to what I'm here to talk about.

The actual feat I'm here to discuss.

Shortly after his temporary death, Yhwach rewrote the future again. Then he absorbs Aizen directly. Keep in mind, he doesn't gain his powers by doing this. It wasn't revealed until a ten year time skip that Aizen was alive back to his ridiculous long sentence. The Hogyoku itself gave him regenerative abilities including giving him an new arm.

It wasn't clear what the purpose behind Yhwach doing that to Aizen other than to remove him out of the way. Although Yhwach had god sight that could easily cancel out his power with ease. Simply by remaining activate during combat. My point is he survived being absorbed by such a broken character with ease.

Sure Ichigo with Uryu's help was finally able to kill Yhwach. Thus freeing Aizen which that part was never shown in the actual manga. What we do know is around this point in time Aizen was becoming a good guy. Yes folks I am not kidding, Aizen simply hated the concept Yhwach was going for & wanted things to remain the same.

5. Aizen confirms the last of Yhwach's spiritual pressure is gone
Mayuri's division had the technology to determine this same feat. But Aizen was in a cell that prevents the usage of stuff like kidos. Keep in mind, he is fully back in his bondage. Thus his spiritual pressure is restricted to a degree. Yet he was still capable of sensing the last of Yhwach's spiritual pressure disappearing.

This is impressive because not many characters within Bleach could pull that off. As stated before, a group of scientists working for Mayuri was keeping an eye on it for ten years. Aizen was simply able to sense his spiritual pressure was gone under such conditions. Now that's amazing due to the fact he was also focusing on maintain his spiritual pressure like before at the same time.

This is further prove Aizen can sense even a god's spiritual pressure. Even after Yhwach's death a decade ago. Aizen did prove he can sense multiple soul reapers at once back in Arrancar arc. All of this is a testament to his abilities & experience. I strongly believe I put up a solid case why Aizen would win against Madara in a fight.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Ganon (The Legend of Zelda) vs. Dracula (Castlevania)

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I remember seven years ago on ScrewAttack's website now Death Battle. A group of people made a web comic between The Legend of Zelda's Ganon taking on Castlevania's Dracula. It's difficult to believe I waited seven years for this fight to finally happen. Two dark lords that death can't keep resting with an army of darkness.

I actually loved this concept for so many reasons. For starters, not to piss anyone off. I felt Bowser just wasn't the right opponent for Ganon. Despite having questionable durability as well as more ridiculous magic. He simply couldn't kill Ganon due to a strict method of death. Also Ganon can easily counter the worst he can dish out.

I felt in this particular case, an army battle would be much closer. Both of them has transformations while Dracula can have up to two or three forms. Both of them kept getting resurrected. In a way, both of them are fighting against a particular family bloodline capable of killing them. Thus these two dark lords has centuries worth of experience making this a surprisingly interesting fight.

Ganondorf aka Ganon


Ganon is an reincarnation of Demise that kept getting resurrected to try taking over Hyrule. He is the wielder of the Triforce of Power making him a god like being. Ganon is confirmed to be the same one in majority of Zelda games. This guy is a threat to anything including the Goddesses. His lust for power is insane bordering on ridiculous levels.

Vlad Tepes aka Vlad the Impaler aka Count Dracula aka Mathias Cronqvist


Mathias Cronqvist was a close friend to Leon Belmont before claiming power from a vampire named Walter Bernhard. It was this very moment, a family of hunters spend centuries hunting him. Dracula has all kind of monsters under his command including the grim reaper himself. This vampire has shown to do cruel things that's difficult to imagine.

Powers and Abilities

Ganon


+Superhuman Strength
+Superhuman Speed
+Superhuman Endurance
+Invulnerability
+Magic mastery (several magic attacks)
+Size manipulation
+Terrian alternation
+Has an unnaturally long lifespan
+Transforms into a pig like monster
+Resurrection (thankfully not possible during a fight)
+Does wield holy weapons

Dracula


+Summoning his Demon Castle
+Immortality
+Invulnerability
+Eternal Night
+Instant Army
+Chaotic Realm
+Reality warping
+Shapeshifting into a bat, wolf or mist
+Teleportation
+Transformation (possibly up to two forms)
+Demonic wings
+Power of Dominance (allows hi to absorb monster's soul and enslave them)
+Obedient animals
+Power over humans
+Possession
+Blood draining
+Magic mastery (several magic attacks)
+Power over Death (this is how he got Death on his side)
+Resurrection (usually done by his servants)

Weaknesses

Ganon


Ganon is very stubborn in his own right. His lust for power can get the better of him. Due to being immortal through the Triforce of Power, he often gets careless. Only a sacred weapon such as the master sword can kill him. It can take time before being revived. It is possible to seal or trap Ganon for long periods of time.

Dracula


Dracula can be arrogant at times. Like most vampires does have weaknesses like lack of blood or sunlight. It does take time to resurrect him usually stated at most to take an century. Although there are a few rare cases, he got revived a few years later long story. It is possible to kill him with holy weapons including the Belmont family's Morning Star whip.

Advantages

Ganon


+Superior Invulnerability
+Superior Endurance
+Superior Strength
+More experience (although by how much isn't exactly clear)
+Carries an holy weapon or two that can kill Dracula
+Has a strict way to die
+Capable of resurrecting himself

Dracula


+More transformations
+Superior Speed
+Has more magic attacks for battle
+Easier to revive
+If this were an army battle, Dracula does have Death
+Likely to have the environment advantage
+More monster variety under his command
+Put a spell to keep it constantly night centering around the location of his castle
+Smarter

Disadvantages

Ganon


-Weak to light magic attacks
-Not as speed in comparison
-More stubborn out of the two
-More likely to drop his guard
-Majority of his magic is meant for other things rather than those for a battle
-If Death gets used could bypass his strict method of death
-It is possible to disrupt the resurrection process

Dracula


-Weak to sunlight
-Weak to holy weapons
-Needs help to be resurrected
-Doesn't have anything on hand that can kill Ganon
-Not as strong
-Not as durable
-Doesn't have as much experience as Ganon
-More likely to get tired
-His transformations are vastly different from each other
-Weak to light magic attacks

Verdict


I felt doing one on one or an army theme battle. To me, the winner of this fight is obvious. Ganon has some great advantages over Dracula simply can't overcome in this fight. For starters. just stats wise with Dracula easily taking the speed advantage still falls short. Although Ganon's strength isn't constant, we still seen him lift much heavier things in comparison to Dracula.

Truthfully based on what I know Lord of Shadows Dracula would hold up closer in overall stats. Especially in the strength department. But the classic Dracula doesn't have many strength feats to go on. We just know he's notably stronger than a human while Ganon has strength to rival even gods. Which isn't far from the truth.

Let's be honest, Ganon has been more active in majority of Zelda games. Dracula gets revived late in most Castlevania games. Usually by that point, a Belmont is ready to challenge him not giving him much time at all. Dracula has a long history of being vulnerable to both holy weapons & sunlight. Thankfully Dracula does have a spell to make it constantly night.

In some cases, during his defeat that spell wears off allowing sunlight through that ends up killing him. It turns out Ganon does wield holy weapons from time to time. Although I do got to answer the big question here. If given the chance could Dracula actually kill Ganon? No because it states Ganon can only be killed by the master sword.

But it goes further than that, it also must be wielded by the chosen one who represents the Triforce of Courage aka Link. The Belmont family uses the Morning Star whip that killed all kind of creatures including Dracula for centuries. Yet this whip by itself wasn't the factor behind killing them. It turns out each Belmont has some great amount of holy power within them.

Thus if someone else other than a Belmont uses that whip likely wouldn't be close as active. Dracula can be killed by holy weapons. So Ganon already has one direct method of killing Dracula right off the bat. Due to this following fact, there is little to nothing Dracula can do to kill Ganon. I should mention, Ganon was an reincarnation of a powerful being Demise.

Obviously Ganon is notably weaker. But there are plenty of proof that supports Ganon still is one of the most powerful beings in existence. It took centuries for the Belmont family to finally slay Dracula good in the year of 1999. I swear I'm not making this up lol. In an army battle, technically speaking Dracula would gain one possible way of killing Ganon.

Among his servants, there is Death whose rivals even Dracula in power. He too has some difficult to counter abilities while having even more experience than Dracula himself. Let's be honest, Ganon's army would like take out majority of weaker monsters. I think when the stronger ones comes out is where things gets crazier.

Ganon has proven to hold his own against anyone. Considering several Belmont family members & Dracula's son Alucard defeated Death before. It would be no surprise Ganon could defeat him in combat by himself. Even if he transforms, I highly doubt he could force Ganon's soul to leave his body due to the Triforce of Power as well as his magic skills.

Dracula did stolen his power from another vampire with the help of Leon Belmont. Both of these dark lords were so obsessed with power enough to become bonded with a rather unusual force. However in the case of Ganon, the Triforce of Power essentially is one of three goddess that created the Zelda universe.

In due time, following Dracula's final defeat. His descendant Soma ended up getting his powers. This happened due to no one claiming it for themselves. But the moment Ganon claimed the Triforce of Power, no one can take it from him. It turns out it actually was meant to be his in the first place. Simply by possessing it gave him immortality.

Dracula's immortality is like most vampires with several methods to kill. So technically speaking he wasn't actually immortal in comparison. Ganon can also revived himself while Dracula needed his servants to do that. Which in many cases can take a century to do. Sure there are a few rare cases like Castlevania 2: Simon's Question. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night & Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge.

All of these happened for different reasons that led to Dracula being revived a few years later instead. I should mention due to the Triforce of Power, Ganon is capable of increasing his potential to some degree. In Dracula's case he has to transform. In most cases, he can fight with two forms while in some cases can have up to three of them like Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse.

Although there's a few time lines within the Zelda universe. It is the same Ganon present in all of them. Also it doesn't specify how far back in the past Ganon or Demsie goes. Bu it highly implies to be longer than nearly one thousand years under Dracula's belt. I should mention, both of them does have legendary magic skills in their own right.

Ganon does have access to stuff like the same death spell that eventually killed the Deku Tree from within. In this case, if Ganon casts that spell from anywhere in Dracula's castle should have the same effect. After all, his castle is representing his power. Sure he can alter it's location as well as it's overall layout to a degree.

Honestly if it worked on the Deku Tree which is considered to be a deity in it's own right. Then it should easily work on Dracula. Who by the way doesn't have a counter for a spell like this. Dracula doesn't have enough in his arsenal to survive long against Ganon. By default, Ganon has a few methods of killing Dracula while the solo method to kill Ganon simply isn't possible here.

Not to mention, Ganon had more overall experience. Likely could handle both Dracula & Death at the same time. Although Dracula had better advantages over Ganon than Bowser did. Honestly this is still a good fight for what it truly is. Even in the case of a fight to the death being this clear cut. I can't simply call this an stomp since Dracula does have some great stuff going for him.

There is still a few more things I must discuss. Every Link continues the experience of the previous one. Thus each newer one constantly adds to that ever growing experience. While in the case of the Belmont family, usually most of them faces Dracula once in their life time. There are some exceptions related to his suddenly revivals where a handful of them faces Dracula again.

It does state that the Belmont family are among the best hunters as well as having knowledge of magic including dark magic. They secretly kept most of that hidden in a place to those who are within the family. I know this is a rather unusual comparison right. A family blood line to all the chosen ones of the Triforce of Courage.

I am just stating not to piss any fan base off. Link beating Ganon is impressive for many factors. While in vice versa, centuries worth of the Belmonts took on Dracula's army. We got to consider the two have a different usage of the world experience. Link & Zelda kept getting revived due to their pieces of the Triforce.

Link is essentially all of them in one while it clearly stats differences between each Belmont including John Morris. I won't make this more confusing than it already is. Thus each one is their own character in comparison. Essentially Link has all of that experience while the Belmont family can't truly say the same thing.

In other words, Link simply isn't your usual being while every Belmont that has faced Dracula are humans. Sure all of them in their own right are truly amazing at their jobs. I am not really trying to down play the Belmont family, I'm a huge fan of theirs. A deeper look determines anyone could potentially defeat Dracula while only Link can defeat Ganon.

This was proven true by his own son Alucard defeating him in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Now I know what you are thinking, yes Alucard does use holy weapons as well. You would be right but even several characters acknowledge his power  compares to Dracula's. So technically speaking, he could've won without holy weapons by using his powers.

Those who aren't Link attempted to beat Ganon by raw force alone. But ultimately get defeated by him instead. This proves it's impossible to defeat Ganon by raw power alone. There isn't many powerful beings that are technically stronger than him. It is possible to harm Ganon through using light magic but Dracula doesn't have access to it since he too is vulnerable to it.

To be honest, this fight is already way more interesting than Bowser vs. Ganon. To me, that was a throw away episode. I get the reason why people wanted it but come on there's more potential in this fight. Also this episode would be perfect for an Halloween episode. I felt Dracula simply makes more sense to put against Ganon due to their strong similarities.

Winner: Ganon (The Legend of Zelda)


Update: on September 28th Not long after my prediction blog was finished I gotten more information I wasn't aware of. Although I don't think it is critical enough to change my blog entirely over it. I would like to share this information to those interested. Keep in mind, all of this was my research but some friends did point a few things out that I didn't know about prior to writing this.

It turns out Dracula can fuse with Death to become more powerful as well as gaining his abilities. Which does include Death Manipulation. But each piece of the Triforce is the goddess who created the Zelda universe. The same ones that came up with a strict way to kill Ganon. Death is an abyssal being yet gods have higher authority.

Ganon has infinite strength & magic through the Triforce of Power while Dracula has to open the Chaos Realm. This is the source of Dracula's powers. It is here, his magic & strength could rival Ganon's. The problem however is Ganon could destroy it thus killing Dracula for good. In vice versa, Dracula can't destroy the Triforce of Power.

Also majority of Dracula's defeats occurred while Dracula wasn't even at full power. A handful of occasions, Dracula got defeated at full power including Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. In comparison, Ganon gets fully revived for the most part. There is one rare occasion, his resurrection got interrupted.

Calamity Ganon from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was still capable of doing stuff you would expect from Ganon. I do need to point out Ganon could pass as human but technically more of a demon. Which could allow some of Dracula's powers strictly meant for humans to not work on him. Not only that his descendant Soma in a light novel gained the ability to erase beings out of existence.

Last I checked, Dracula himself does not have this power otherwise I would've went with him. Dracula also has more massive differences in his transformations. Mostly he becomes bigger in size while in some occasions he actually gotten smaller. I still stand by with giving Dracula the speed advantage in this fight.

Epic Games celebrates Batman

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I heard about Epic Games on and off. Honestly I wasn't sure about them while playing mostly on Xbox One. Very recently, they chose to celebrate one of my personal favorite superheroes of all time. DC's Batman, can you believe it's been eighty years? Batman was introduced late 1939 that quickly became popular.


Batman is one of many timeless characters that everyone has their own ideal how they would use the character. He is actually even more popular than Superman. I was very surprised, Epic Games was able to pull something like this off. We get six free Batman games that will take hours for simply playing & even more for completionists.

We get Batman: Arkham Collection that doesn't include Batman: Arkham Origins. The other bundle is Lego Batman Trilogy that's just the base games. You would have to get Lego Batman 3's dlcs later. Although Telltale is working on a return. I wish both of their Batman games was also included. We already got so much content to keep you busy for months maybe years.

All of these games in their own right shows the love & care they have for the characters. Sure I wasn't crazy about Lego Batman 3 or Arkham Knight but those still had some good things. It's been awhile since I gotten this many free games that made me this happy. I believe getting Saints Row series on GOG through GOG Connect was the previous one to do that.

Honestly I am thankful to get these on their account. Yes I do own some of these already on several platforms including Steam & GOG. Batman truly deserves this level of respect. I thought for the most part, they chose wisely in which Batman games to make free. I felt majority of them needs to be in your collection as soon as possible.

Right now you can only get these Batman games through two bundles. Soon they will be available separately. I am surprised Steam didn't do something like this. Although they do have Batman deals going on right now. I am proud to be alive for something like this. Batman does have some truly amazing licensed games.

Why suddenly write Death Battle blogs like no tomorrow?

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, considering the next few months will be busy. I wanted to try getting as much Death Battle related blogs done as soon as possible. You probably notice some popular requests got done. I might be the only person that wants to see Captain Pollution vs. Omega Shenron go at it. Unless an upcoming episode gets me interested enough in.

I simply won't write a prediction blog for it. Honestly I write these for entertaining, a personal challenge in some way and most importantly show my support. I felt doing Freddy vs. Dr. Destiny was interesting due to both of them being gods in the dream world. I still say one of the most ridiculous I ever covered has to be The Mask vs. Saitama.

Two very different kinds of a broken character that can do impossible things with virtually no real effort. I would say trying to consider every possible option for that particular fight was very difficult. Stuff like Aku vs. Shendu, I still see getting requested by people. I made sure to officially request it through the form.

Honestly there's just something about these fights reveal so much about someone. Yes in a lot of cases is not so pleasant while others show more of their supportive side. Death Battle is virtually about all fighters goes in but only one can survive. One of the points I did some of these recent predictions is to showcase some ridiculous characters can lose to other ridiculous characters.

Very recently, I wrote one about Invader Zim taking on Marvin the Martian. Sure in a way it's technically a stomp but they could do a lot with it to keep it entertaining. I do see their names get thrown around a lot these days. Truthfully, I do these to test how well I know these characters. I also did some feeling they may never happen on their show.

The possibilities are virtually endless. But that doesn't mean all of them are good fights. The truth is some fights are so one sided to the point even with the creators best effort doesn't work enough. Yes there's a thing called a fun stomp like Marvin vs. Invader Zim. Mostly it is boring ones that takes away from the entertainment value.

I think a break from making these are in order. I am slowly but surely starting to feel burnt out. But not as much from months of gaming. I honestly wanted people to see the more surprising part of my personality if anything else. I do my best to keep my bias side out of these. I will be honest, several prediction blogs I done on another website, I didn't do a good job with that.

I think the three best kind of fights are as follow. The first one is a very close fight that can go either way. A lot of these could come down to the smallest details to determining who actually wins. The second one is two characters capable of doing anything  Wait that sounds exactly like Chuck Norris vs. Segata Sanshiro fight lol.

Honestly a character that can do anything no matter how ridiculous it actually is would be fun to write. Just imagine doing a fight with two of them now that's ridiculous lol. The last one is putting two very different characters that have great advantages over each other. There isn't many fights that follow this category on the show but I felt some of those fights have a surprising winner.

It has been an honor writing these prediction blogs for fellow fans of the show. I know I got a weird history with predicting fights. For the longest time, due to lack of experience researching. I got so many of them wrong but more recently became the opposite. Honestly, some fights differ in what the real advantages are.

Sure you could have superior overall stats but if you got ways to counter it. Then it is likely the weaker character could win that fight. It's almost like playing a game of Chess, every calculated move must been well thought out. Honestly some of my most recent predictions are among my favorites along with my prediction on Sweet Tooth vs. The Joker.

Jack Red reviews Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I always been a fan of the classic cartoon Invader Zim. OMG, I remember being partly freaked out by it. This was an alien show where he attempted to take over the world. Well it is more of him trying to make himself better than humans but you get the idea. This movie just like Rocko's Modern Life movie acts as an continuation of the show.


I got to be honest, I knew for a few years that this movie was coming. I was excited to finally watch it on Netflix. Honestly I had some stuff going on my end, that's why it took awhile for me to get to this review. I would say they did a great job recreating the art style. Maybe not as good as Rocko's Modern Life movie but good enough to get the job done.

I won't say much about the actual plot because I don't want to spoil what actually happens in it. Invader Zim had one of the stupidest excuses for being missing I ever heard of. I am glad they got a lot of the same people who worked on the show back for this. It sucks the actual show didn't last as long as other classics.

In this movie, we learn even more about some of our favorite characters. A little loose spoiler something ridiculous does happen. But that's the only direct hint I'm giving. This movie does a great job telling it's story just like the show. I would say one particular part late in the movie. Again I won't say much about what's going on was incredibly well done.

I felt this was out of time because chances are, if this movie would've been made back then. It would've likely been more of a miss than a hit there it currently is. Hell stuff like Rugrats got a few movies including a crossover with another show The Wild Thornberrys. I felt in comparison to the final season of Samurai Jack, this was more worth the wait.

Honestly there's a lot of great things about this movie. I really can't point out any real negatives about it either. I do recommend this movie especially to those who love the show like I do. Personally I was more into stuff like Rocko's Modern Life. I will say this brought back a lot of memories just watching this movie.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Marvin the Martian (Looney Tunes) vs. Invader Zim (Invader Zim)

Yes I seen the movie recently, I will be posting both this and my review of the movie together. I figured as a huge Invader Zim to give him some respect.

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I know some people want Invader Zim to be on Death Battle. Honestly he left a huge impression on me growing up. I remembered someone's request with him versus Marvin the Martian. Who to some degree I also grew up with. I still so happen to own my Marvin face watch. At one point, I had Marvin the Martian saddles.

I figured two crazy aliens in one ridiculous fight. Honestly I'm more excited for this than Dexter vs. Jimmy fight everyone else wants. Two of my favorite fictional aliens in one place. Obviously this would be a difficult to pull off fight since it just wouldn't be on one planet. Trust me I'll explain more in detail about that.

Marvin the Martian


Marvin the Martian is one of the space theme Looney Tunes characters. He was able to hold his own against some of the best. I would even say technically wise, he is ridiculous lol. Marvin has different goals depending on which story he's in. Can you believe I was close of getting named after it true story lol.

Invader Zim


Invader Zim is from a species that conquerors planets. Led by the Almighty Tallest no I'm not making that up. However Invader Zim wasn't actually good at achieving his goals becoming an outcast. Although he doesn't see it that way. Invader Zim tried for a few decades to conquer the planet Earth, seriously why Earth aliens lol.

Powers and Abilities

Marvin the Martian


+Ridiculous overall technology
+Capable of doing anything through toon force (yes that's a thing)
+Can water particular seeds to get servants
+A spaceship (it does differ in stories to clarify)
+Sometimes has a dog

Invader Zim


+Technology with parts of those from the planet Earth
+Has a robot assistant named GIR (I'll sing the doom song now lol)
+Several vehicles
+Some alien weaponry

Weaknesses

Marvin the Martian



Marvin can be overconfident at times. He does have a history with anger. In fact, some of the most ridiculous things in all of The Looney Tunes franshise came from some of those I'm not kidding. If he's not careful can easily destroyed too much of a planet. It is possible to outsmart him as proven by characters like Bugs Bunny.

Invader Zim


Zim is quite arrogant as well as overconfident himself. He doesn't think majority of his plans through. Which sometimes puts himself in danger because of it. His body is weak to pollutants in Earth's water. He can't survive more than 10 minutes without his PAK. He also doesn't listen well to others especially when it's incredibly important.

Advantages

Marvin the Martian


+Smarter
+More powerful arsenal
+Faster ship
+More durable
+Toon Force
+More unpredictable
+Doesn't have any physical weaknesses
+More experience

Invader Zim


+GIR is more durable than most of Martian's assistants
+More vehicles
+A strangely weird alert system outside his base
+His human disguise could work on Marvin

Disadvantages

Marvin the Martian


-His arsenal can be used against him
-If he does too far destroying a planet could greatly limit his footing
-More likely to get angry first
-Within his anger doesn't plan out his strategies
-Slowly becomes predictable since he will make it clear what he wants
-Usually has one ship

Invader Zim


-A lot weaker in comparison
-Not as bright
-More arrogant out of the two
-Either he or GIR likely gives away his plans
-GIR is amazingly dumb
-Even with his most ridiculous inventions aren't even close to what Marvin has
-Simply can not compete with Toon Force
-Very likely won't listen to Marvin even if it's important like the planet about to explode
-Not as much experience as Marvin
-Well he did spend two decades hiding inside a school's toilet (confirmed in the movie)
-More likely to give up
-His vehicles aren't nearly as fast as Marvin's ship

Verdict


Let's get the most obvious out of the way first since I see so many people awaiting to jump on that. Yes Toon Force allows a cartoon character to do anything. I recently found out during his comic fight with Yosemite Sam, some truly ridiculous stuff happened in that one fight of theirs. Yosemite Sam uses a rope on a black hole while Marvin directly grabs the sun.

Yes the sun itself gets used as a weapon against a black hole. This alone trigger two new star constellations in the sky. Hell on a cartoon against Duck Dodgers. both of them kept destroying a notable chunk out of the planet they're on. I seen something like this in The Ren & Stimpy Cartoon with Powdered Toast Man.

The simple fact Invader Zim doesn't play on Toon Force logic makes this a straight forward victory. Even if he had it himself, he still would lose for most of the reasons I'll state. Invader Zim's personality is actually worse than a pissed off Marvin in comparison. Yeah, Marvin is willing to destroy a planet to make a point.

But Zim just won't listen even if it could harm or kill him in the process. Even Marvin has shown some form of intelligence. GIR simply doesn't help Invader Zim enough here. Then again I shouldn't be surprised considering he doesn't exactly have a proper robot brain to begin with lol. Marvin can easily place these seeds on whatever surface he's on then watered them to create servants.

Sometimes he has been accompanied by a dog whose also loyal to him. It is likely both Zim & GIR will give away any plans they have. In this particular case is a very bad idea considering Marvin can easily destroy more than planets. Yes I should mention, he also has a device that can sucked an entire galaxy in.

I am not honestly making this up, I seen proof of this just before I started writing. Obviously even giving Invader Zim prep time wouldn't be put to use. Considering if he would get prep time, in fairness so will Marvin otherwise it just isn't a fair fight. Well oh okay this is technically far from a fair fight but it's still more entertaining than other stomps like Hiei vs. Sasuke yes I said it.

Marvin has been around a lot longer than Invader Zim. Even if I were to limit Marvin to a proper canon, he still has more experience than him. Obviously Marvin can handle truly ridiculous stuff while Invader Zim would more likely die from a huge number of them. Marvin is the more unpredictable alien out of these two.

The sad truth is Invader Zim simply outmatched in so many ways it's not even funny. His very personality is his greatest weakness. I do see Marvin taking advantage of it. The simple fact is Marvin like many Looney Tunes characters started out pretty ridiculous capable of doing anything. Sure over the years, they got heavily tone down in what they can do.

However for a show like Death Battle, they have to do the more popular character of a character. In this case being the incredibly broken Marvin the Martian. It is likely Invader Zim can't tank a planet explosion. One of his craziest recent feats was moving the planet Earth to deep into the universe. Let's be honest, this required a lot of factors in order to work.

I felt if Marvin himself would've done the same plan. He could pull it off mostly by himself anyway. His ship was fast enough to go from Mars to Earth within seconds. Which is way faster than any vehicle Invader Zim has. My point is Invader Zim could've been much more if it wasn't for his very personality.

After all, we are talking about the very invader that attacked his own home world & didn't realize it. Now how stupid do you got to be Zim lol. Let's be more honest, sure Looney Tunes characters can do all kind of ridiculous stuff. At least, most of them including Marvin has some form of common sense. I heavily felt Invader Zim lacks that in comparison.

Winner: Marvin the Martian
