Who wins?

Ganondorf vs. Asura, Darkseid, Hulk, Galactus, Godzilla, Goku, Superman, and Thanos,

Ganondorf obviously because he can only be killed by holy weapons and none of those characters lacks them!

Facts!

Was scrolling down the Twitter comments just because of strange curiosity, and this comment is pretty funny.

I mean, Funimation does have a habit of "Censor it, then make you pay for BDs for the uncensored."

iirc, they also picked up a show like last year only to drop it one episode in after getting scared of how raunchy it got, while retaining the rights, thus leaving it in legal limbo.

Yeah they did do that. Don't remember the name off the top of my head but it was that event that shifted my opinion of them a bit into the negative ngl.

I mean, I don't care for the anime itself, but if they're willing to do that just because, it's not out of the question for them to do that for any other anime that doesn't fit within their own "morals" whatever those might be.

I thought they would just censor it straight up. But you pay for a thing to get it uncensored?

This is a very strange world.

What examples have Funimation censored on their end?

They did start Interspecies Reviewers but dropped it a few episodes in. It was basically one of those, "I can't believe it's not hentai" series.

I am not an anime watcher. I do not know how to feel it.

Though I do want to make one point.
...what's the point?
Wait, ATAT owned Crunchyroll this entire time? TIL I guess

Also I dunno about you, but I don't think this bodes well, especially since Funimation has been doing some... weird shenanigans in recent memory. Least last time I took a dive and snooped around anyway.
does the Persona 5 Anime count as a dub for Funimation or nah?
It be pretty sweet if the final act of Spider Man 3 becomes a court drama that results in a Sinister 6 attack on the courthouse. Peter is getting his ass kicked, his lawyer disappears and so people are panicking.

Then the other two spider men Come in to help him out and so does his lawyer as Daredevil.

Would be a pretty sweet finale imo.
I kinda wanna see them all lose, only for MCU Peter to overcome the odds in the end, managing to solidify himself as his own hero who needs no man cause he is The Man now...and of course possibly shame the NCY for being stupid and desperate enough to believe in a guy they barely knew compared to the one hero who actually took care of their neighborhood and never had an attempt to destroy a majority of the city...put those ungrateful ****ers in place

Also they should pull the trigger on whatever Flash is gonna go through
Who wins?

Ganondorf obviously because he can only be killed by holy weapons and none of those characters lacks them!

inb4 Hulk uses Mjornir
Not sure how this affect Crunchyroll, but it could spell the end of anime on HBO Max outside Studio Ghibli (unless they made a deal to keep stuff there)

More than half a year in and there is still no Ed Edd n Eddy on HBO Max...
OH DAMN YOU'RE RIGHT...HBO needs to fix that and add the DCAU onto the streaming service since DCU is ending their media outside the comics

Honestly, I would kill for a reanimated One Piece series that just crams the entire series into as little episodes as possible, maybe like a bunch of movies I guess. I think it would be nice, but I imagine that isn't happening anytime soon, with us still having around 5-10 years left of One Piece.
Lol. Yeah that would be nice. Well, ill just watch other stuff for 10 years no biggie.

I'm not really the anime guy, so you'd have to ask people who deal with stuff. I'm part of a group of AniTwitter folk on Discord, but I'm like "That guy who doesn't really watch anime why the **** am I even here."

But as for the 2nd part, that raises an eyebrow tbh. I know a little about that series, and I agree with your sentiment on it, but.... it begs to question why they even obtained the rights if they were simply going to chicken out. It's like they simply scooped up the rights with 0 forethought behind it, simply in a bid to get as much as possible as fast as possible, without doing due diligence research.

I mean, obviously they made a mistake picking up that anime. But I feel that holding onto the rights while at the same time refusing to dub it(or even allow any of it to be online, they even struck down the phub videos that were uploaded of that anime) is a huge **** move, and just blatant censorship for muh christian morals. I mean yeah Interspecies Reviewers is a pretty odd anime, even for anime itself, but if Funimation didn't want it(and they clearly didn't) there's no reason to hold onto the rights.

I mean, that's kinda always been how it works when it comes to anime. Anime is censored when it airs on television, and the DVD/Blu Rays removes it.
I do remember watching the Jotaro vs Dio fight, and the Blu Ray version showed more blood, and it looked a lot better.

This confused me, so I googled it, and...

Well then.
Even for anime, Interspecies Reviewers is just straight up weird. It's not your typical anime, and uh... don't watch any more of it if you want to keep your sanity.
Y'all should probably drop this specific subject before we invoke the wrath of god(modmins) :foe!:
True, let's drop this now. Need to go to sleep anyway.

Because I have no one to watch it with. Plus, we are in a pandemic.

So you’re gonna tell me he can survive being stepped on by a Kaiju, taken up into space by Goku or Superman, swallowed whole by a planet eating titan, etc. but he can be defeated by the Holy Hand Grenade from Monty Phyton?

Yes because as stated especially by Death Battle. Only holy weapons can kill him. Since they all lack holy weapons, there's nothing they can do that phases him.

Or the Master Sword and Link since it is only he who can kill him.

I mean, gonna be real with ya, but ya YEET Ganondorf to space, I don't care what kinda power he has, he's gonna be drifting there for a long, long, long time.


Look at Kars from Jojo. Dude was written to basically be invincible, but he got yeet'd into space and eventually just gave up. He's still 100% alive, but he's resigned himself to his fate.

Defeat is a broad term.

Do you defeat someone by killing them? Locking them away? Incapacitating them?

Kars wasn't killed or locked away, he was incapacitated by being stuck in the vacuum of space for eternity. He was, for all intents and purposes, the Ultimate Lifeform, being truly invincible, but he can't do anything in space.

Then why is it Ganondorf defeated Bowser in Death Battle despite it having been obviously in the latter's favor?

Death Battle doesn’t always get the details right from what I’ve noticed. Also the games aren’t always consistent with this detail.

Copied from TV Tropes:
  • In the Decline timeline, Ganon's power and intelligence gradually decrease as he gets defeated by various incarnations of Link over time. In A Link to the Past, he was at the height of his power, having defeated the Hero of Time and obtained the entire Triforce ages ago with an entire world at his command. The only way to defeat him was by a combination of the Master Sword (which could only stun him) and four Silver Arrows. In the Oracles games, Ganon is revived, only for the resurrection to be botched and he comes back as a mindless, raging beast with limited awareness of who he is. He can be killed by any sword (with the Master Sword causing the most damage). In A Link Between Worlds, Ganon is revived again to be used as a power source for Yuga's One-Winged Angel form, and Yuga remains in full control of his body. He is killed by just the Master Sword. And finally, in the original Legend of Zelda, according to Hyrule Historia, Ganon returnsbut lacks any of Ganondorf's intellect back in Ocarina of Time, now simply a demon warlord bent on stealing the Triforce. He is ultimately slain by a non-Master Sword and one Silver Arrow this time around.

By the way I ain't being serious. I just wanted to vent this off my chest because I'm tired of the holy weapons NLF **** Ganondorf gets especially he got from Death Battle which still irks me to this day.

My question is, why are you using what boils down to an internet debate with a budget to try and solve your own debate?

This is actually a fight I'd love to see.

Doctor Doom vs. Mewtwo.

I love the idea of Mewtwo becoming desperate in a losing fight while beginning to mentally break down in anguish unable to accept the fact he's actually being bested by a human being.

Not relevant to anything, just thought it was cute and it reminds me of that one Stan Lee talk about the Superman/Goku debate.
Should’ve saved this art for this moment considering how fitting it is

Ganondorf's issue is that makes sense in his own settings. And Hyrule Warriors says "lol no" to it anyway. Though keep in mind it was written in a way to mean the pig form, less so the human form.

When applying it to actual other crossovers, it makes no sense. Then barely anyone could take it on. Death Battle is based upon canon rules, so that's logical. He's still massively strong and shouldn't be underestimated, and there's no way he wouldn't turn into his Ganon form. Among those, he can't compete with Goku, but could easily with Godzilla. However, none of those can compete with Galactus. Darkseid is strong, but not as strong either. I'm aware he's an equivalent to Galactus in some ways, but they're very different. I'd give it Galactus, who is a planet buster. Darkseid is the only one even close to his level, and Ganondorf is only more like a region buster of level(same with Godzilla). Mind you, Ganondorf doesn't really conquer worlds outside of his Ganon form. He is more of a diplomat or uses an army. He's actually a very smart magic and weapon user, who doesn't rely on one method of winning. That's what makes hima very effective villain, since he's extremely versatile. And no in the "pragmatic" way so much as just plain smarts.

I think you might be excited for these fights for the wrong reasons.

Ganondorf obviously because he can only be killed by holy weapons and none of those characters lacks them!

Facts!
Ganondorf would kill Superman because he uses magic and Superman is weak to magic.
Because Death Battles are dumb.
For the most part I agree. The animations are pretty cool, though.

Ganondorf obviously because he can only be killed by holy weapons and none of those characters lacks them!

Facts!
Darkseid as we see him is just a greatly nerfed avatar of himself. His true form is so intensly powerful that only his home universe can handle it without collapsing on itself. That's right, Darkseid can destroy an entire universe by just existing in it. And in his homeworld, he's literally omnipotent.

Thanos, if he has the full Infinity Gauntlet, is basically able to alter all aspects of the universe as he sees fit. He could snap Ganondorf out of existence and if that doesn't work, travel back to a time before Ganon got the Triforce of Power and try again.

Galactus eats planets. A meager Gerudo isn't even enough to call an appetizer. If Ganondorf survives beong eaten, it won't be good for him.

Superman doesn't kill to begin with, and he's more than OP enough to at least defeat Ganondorf since his biggest superpower is plot convenience.

Hulk is so strong he might be able to beat Ganondorf too. "But Triforce of Power..." Hulk defeated Hercules in comics before. Like, the Hercules. God of Strength Hercules. Hulk truly is the strongest one there is. Would he be able to kill? No, but he can definitely beat him in a fight.

Goku can tap into godly ki and access literal Saiyan God forms. And if that's not enough, Ultra Instinct might do the trick.

For Godzilla, we don't know how well the Triforce of Power protects against radioactivity. Dorf might pull it off as Ganon though as he'd stand a better chance if he was also a giant creature.

Asura... I don't know about God of Wrath to really answer on this one, but he can beat up gods, so that's gotta count for something... right?

You focused so hard on the fact that he can only be killed by holy weapons that you forgot that he doesn't need to be killed to be defeated. Heck, you can get through the whole boss fight in any game where he's the final boss without using the Master Sword; it simply needs to be the killing blow, not every blow.

Man, I must be really bored if I suddenly resorted to all of this. Think I'll call it a night.

Night y'all.
