Gojo VS Makima | DEATH BATTLE Review 

They say in the results that Gojo is immune to the effects of his own Domain Expansion, so Unlimited Void wouldn’t stop him from finishing Makima off even if it was distributed throughout Japan’s populous.

@@GalacticAttorney Again this is the result of people not understanding Makimas contract. He can be immune to his own domain expansion all he wants it doesn't really matter because Makima's contract doesnt' reflect the exact attack that hit her, and I quote: "any attacks inflicted to Makima are transferred into an appropriate illness or ailment affecting a random citizen of Japan" The key words here being an appropriate illness or ailment, not the attack that hit her. Similarly even if he was immune to his own effects and her contract did work like that then that would just mean she inflicts it all at him and he's unharmed and she's back and we're back at square one. How can he finish her off if she literally can't be finished as long as he, a citizen of japan, is still alive? You literally have to ignore her contract to arrive at that conclusion.

Those moments are the best parts in vs matches imo

I’m a simple creature

@@GalacticAttorney a based one at that

Sometimes foreshadowing can be funny.

The animations are for entertainment purposes not to show exactly how the DB would play out just the end results. Having Gojo immediately put her in his domain expansion to instantly end the fight would not be as interesting as showing a battle. Makima wanted to control Gojo, thus not just shooting him in the head but instead incapacitating him but she was not aware he could regenerate and break her mind control. That's a perfect explanation for the animation side but again the animation isn't supposed to be a perfect recreation of a fight just some entertainment rather than just say "Gojo wins because of his domain expansion, the end."

@@DioxJXD Yeah but the "she wanted to control him" is a really dumb way to do it cause these are supposed to be fights to the death and Makima can control people after they died so she doesn't need to do it rn. Of course this is only about the animation but it is the most important part of the episode and her characterization was really generic Also Gojo wouldn't win that way, they actually gave Makima the speed advantage and a way to kill him so by their own rules it'd be just a Bang to the head and done

Freeze vs megatron wasn’t peak fiction in my opinion

I think she's the second, behind Alejandro Saab

Quite a few have been in, just off the top of my head I know Jenny Yokobori (Yoimiya) voiced Ryuko and Beau Bridgland (Chongyun) voiced Mob

What are you talking about? He would merk her in front of Denji in a heartbeat if he felt she was a threat. Gojo is merciless.

@@DioxJXD he would at the very least not have Denji see it. He knows that humans and curses can bond and even if he views curses as threats not everyone does

@@DioxJXD Disagreed considring Yuta

I'm gonna be honest I don't see how Gojo being Gojo calling Makima weak ruins HER character, that's just something HE did. And I'm curious, just what about Makima's character isn't done right and why?

@@godhaloknight6332 I never said Gojo calling Makima weak make Makima out of character. That’s just when she starts to skip most. In the animation she is very talkative. Like she talks more than Gojo which is very weird for her but can be forgiven. After she is called weak, she starts to manically laugh which is just something she wouldn’t do. She has only really laughed once and it was specifically because she was mentally destroying Denji. Her hitting a annoying powerhouse would not cause her to go full mustache twirling villain. Also the scream at the end. Honestly I don’t want to spoil much but spoilers for CSM…….Makima’s canon death has her die in an extremely slow and painfully way yet she doesn’t scream or cry in fear or pain. She remains her stoic self. She is intentionally written that way for a reason. Because that is her character and her presence. That’s why her scream and devolving into a basic anime villain feels so cringe. Because it feels like she is just being used for a serotonin boost for Gojo fans.

@@zachspool I'd say she talks as MUCH as Gojo, mainly just for a rebuttal and whatnot. I can, from what you said, still not mind Makima's laugh because she saw the sheer shock on Gojo when she finally landed a hit, so the reason you said she laughed, personally, makes sense to me from what you're telling me. She wasn't laughing because she was called weak, she was laughing because she landed a hit on Gojo after he was talkin' smug all fight, and got him to a state of being in ACTIVE shock and bewilderment. The scream? Kind of understandable, but honestly the lack of a scream would hinder the death, and given how it's a different circumstance this time (having her brain have an infinite amount of information while having her body quite literally reduced to nothing), I can't really get on board with it being out of character from what I've seen and have been told so far. I mean I respect your stance on this, I just can't quite see it or agree with it

@@godhaloknight6332 like I said before, it makes sense that people who aren’t fully aware of the source material would not see it as out of character. Because you aren’t aware of the full extent of the character. Like the reactions are justified for a normal human or even other villains therefore it would make sense for Makima. But sadly us CSM fans realize just how cringe it is. Makima would not show that level of emotion for someone like Gojo. It’s her defining characteristic. I also heavily disagree that no scream would ruin the death. I think the only way you could argue that would be if you specifically did want the serotonin boost of hearing Makima scream. In fact having Makima’s eyes continue to coldly look at Gojo and Pierce the purple until they disappear is way more effective than stick villain death 101. Also straying from a character’s characterization is not justified because you think it makes a kill better. Like imagine if Maka did win and Gojo at the end dropped to his knees and admitted defeat before death. Yeah wouldn’t feel right. Also the info dump would mean nothing. If anything it would stop her from screaming as she has no idea what to do. And she can’t be screaming in pain because that’s not the purpose of the Domain. And if it did cause pain then the argument that it isn’t an attack would become moot. Plus Makima died very quickly in this fight. She is used to having we her body completely destroyed multiple times in brutal ways. But her canon death was slow, painful and she had plenty of time to reflect on her lose. None of it made her break. So again as I said above, I understand if people don’t think it’s a big deal, but just know that it’s wildly out of character and that just because a typical villain may react this way, doesn’t mean Makima would

@@zachspool You know, you make some fair points, but I find it odd that you still call this very "generic" and such when honestly Makima still stands out as a villain to me, the problem I still have with your statements is the whole argument about "You only want the scream to get the serotonin boost like Gojo fans did," which still comes off very poorly and generalized against Gojo fans, if I'm being honest. I'm not a fan of either Gojo or Makima (not to say I dislike them, I just don't know either series well aside from the memes), I'm as casual about them as you can be from an outsider's perspective. And yeah, your example of Makima's death does also hold from a thematic standpoint, and is an interesting take on it, so I can't really argue against that, but I still can't really get the hold of her dying quickly vs dying slowly, because they're just circumstances that nobody else can really enact onto Makima, and honestly her being used to dying brutally kind of makes the simpler execution all the more different and new, oddly enough, but, I'll agree to disagree in that regard. My other point wasn't that Domain Expansion caused pain, it was that it was a new sensation that she herself has never experienced before. But regardless, I still don't think they showed Makima as generic as, say, like Frieza or some other big bad who goes out screaming, and while I do get your points about it being out of character, I don't think it makes her generic because of it.
