A few things! 1. I had to remove the fight music because it was claimed for copyright. 2. Apparently the MHA movies *are* canon! 3. I'm well aware that even blunt things can pierce at high speeds, all you condescenders out there, but those speeds did not look high and his swords are specifically blunt by magical means, so science doesn't necessarily apply. Enjoy!
The swords can still stab you his blades can still cut you giving enough force with his swing is like a dull knife use enough leverage you can cut through what you want it just won't be a clean cut as well as he didn't use his other techniques that can allow him to cut people block divider even though it increases the size of his sword it gives his blade or cut an edge
As for the swords at the end, it doesn't matter if they're blunt. With enough force and brute strength, even a blunt object can be forced through a person.
It’s shown that they can actually cut things as asta used it to cut Dante’s cheek. Also I’d argue that his dull blades are more dangerous as they make you suffer longer.
Also them being blunt is only semi-canon. In a vision of a possible future, we see Asta cut someone in half with his “blunt” sword. It’s also shown that by coating the “blunt” swords with magic or anti-magic, you can make them sharp.
There have been statements made by Hoshikori that the movies are canon to the story of My Hero Academia, and on top of that, several tie-in chapters to the manga have been released. Also, there have been brief mentions of movie events in the manga as well.
One problem is intelligence. Asta isn't dumb, he's a combat genius. Deku is book smart and sometimes his plans literally do nothing for a fight. Also Deku's precog is nothing like Asta's ki. Ki isn't just a warning and the warning from Deku isn't a precise prediction nor can it find invisible or hiding foes. Asta found a guy playing dead in a pile or corpses, he can even tell who is doing an attack like Yami's ranged slash. Next anti magic does NOT stop magic attacks. They make that clear many times. Why this matters? Because they equally state Asta MUST have the physical power to match the spell to stop it. And he has so many feats of raw power to back that up. Lastly Asta constantly fights people with light magic, suppose to be rare but there's a lot of people with it.
@@joecrazy9896 im pretty sure thats only if they are the proper owners. If it did it would have only done it by a small amount. Since it was likened to a overfilling a cup or water ballon
Wow a reaction literally minutes after the release of the death battle? I love it! So nice to see it along with you without knowing the result beforehand haha
Poor Deku. 1 for 3 for HeroAcca. I think they struggle from being a series that places a lot of attention on the limits of power which other animes don't always. The only HeroAcca win was against a similar series (in terns of recognising limits).
27:55 okay here's the scoop Gogeta only shows up 3 times, twice in movies and the finale of GT, 2 non canon. But the situations provided end up putting him in 2 wins and a tie(didn't finish off Omega Shenron before time expired) Where as Vegito shows up twice in canon anime, both times as a playing field leveler, not the final battle, so he has a 2 tie record. Feats pending, Gogeta is the favorite to win But eff that, I love Vegito(Veggeto) more!!
Pretty sure DBS Broly movie was stated to be canon but even then the kais stated that Potara Fusion is stronger than Metamoran Fusion, So I'm hopeful Vegito wins but at the same time I will understand is Death Battle chooses DBS Broly Gogeta vs Fused Zamasu Vegito
@@topsyturvy4707 of course they will pick the best version of each character, and yes I acknowledge that potara rule and hope that gives him the edge. Also also I could technically point out the broly battle was a non-ending, but broly was going to die if he didn't get Dragoned away. I debated whether I should check that up as a tie or not. I decided it's a W
@@DukeofGames50 True, personally if someone were to do this fight they’d use 2 end of series Gokus and 2 End of Series Vegetas to even the materials for the fight.
@@topsyturvy4707 fair, however there really isn't much power-based improvement G&V undergo after the Time Arc. New transformations, but not actual base improvements, or much of one, at least.
I mean, just because something is blunt doesn’t mean it’s just going to bounce right off of you. If it has enough force, it’s definitely going through you.
But that didn't look like a lot of force right there at the end lol *And* since we're talking about swords, I took the bluntness to be a magic thing, so all that logic doesn't necessarily apply.
Pretty good episode, not my favorite but it was alright. It was cool to learn about Black Clover and now I’m interested to check it out. Also I was not expecting the next time. Love that you’re doing these Death Battle Reactions again.
@Ris Grestar if I remember the theory you had for Mha is kind of true, I don't know when, but I think it was stated that every person in the show/manga can perform better than even Olympic athletes due to the body trying to adapt to quirks so even people like stain would sort of have super strength, speed, and durability among other things. Stain was faster than Ida and he had literal engines in his legs.
As a few other commenters have pointed out: the MHA movies actually are canon (at least broadly). But more pertinently to Death Battle, Ben has said they actually use non-canon sources _as long as_ the characters are still clearly meant to be the same as the core canon. For example, they pulled feats from the DBZ movies for Goku vs. Superman despite the movies being explicitly non-canon (again, unlike the MHA movies) because the Goku in the movies is clearly meant to be the same Goku as in the manga. Unlike, say, the Goku from Dragon Ball Evolution!
@@Ris_Grestar It was explained in one of the Death Battle Cast episodes. And the reason is because of what you pointed out: to show the audience that even with so-and-so feat, they still wouldn't win (or at least wouldn't win the majority of the time)! Because if DB don't do that and then the character loses, they know that would just generate large amounts of "well, what if you had given them so-and-so feats?!" and they want to preempt that as much as possible.
Actually, Ris, the second My Hero film had elements the mangaka was originally going to use for the final arc of the manga. And the films are canon, somewhat.
There was no music during the fight in your reaction, just sound effects. It was kinda cool in a way because it's what the characters would've been hearing. Unless something like You Say Run plays in Deku's head constantly.
The MHA movies are explicitly canon, Horikoshi has said as much himself and the events of the movies are also directly referenced within the main manga story. Also fun fact! Vegito vs Gogeta is going to be a full composite, so everything from Z, GT, Super, Heroes, Xenoverse, and even other stuff that Trunks's episode didn't mention out loud will be included. I think it's a perfectly reasonable matchup to do as a full Death Battle after it was a DBX recently, but the timing is atrocious when we've had Vegeta earlier this season and even Xeno Trunks just a few months ago (this means Vegeta has been in the same Death Battle season three god damn times!), not to mention that this was marketed as a season focused on introducing new franchises to Death Battle and Dragon Ball is already used a ton. Also on a more personal note I am very sick of saiyans in Death Battle, especially Death Battle season finales which usually go a step beyond. It would've made so much more sense if it was something like say, a mid-season finale next year, and if we absolutely have to keep overusing Dragon Ball, there are several characters worth using with far more unique abilities, like Cell, Zamasu, or even Baby
Re: canonicity, that's interesting! But I do wonder, then, why everything that happens in the movies is, like...negated as much as possible by the movies' end.
Honestly in this animation it didn't really matter if the swords were sharp or not in the end since Deku's quirk killed him right before it, but it was said that Asta can decide whether his swords can cut or not
While over looked the tip of the sword are shown to be sharp at least for the Demon-Slayer and Demon-Dweller so piercing attacks like the finisher make sense.
Fun Fact: 20:31 when Asta said “Man, this guy can even give Luck a run for his money” it was referencing that both Luck and Deku have the same English voice actor
So, fun fact? According to the staff, Deku was already dead after his final attack. You can see the light leave his eyes in that moment. Asta just stabbed his corpse.
Well to be fair a normal human being can stab someone with blunt blades. What is really surprising is that someone as ridiculously strong as Asta could swing those blades WITHOUT impaling or slicing someone.
They really didn’t even bother to use black asta, as they knew it would have been more than enough to kill deku. Even with gear shift asta isn’t stupid he’s very adaptable to combat and because of ki his reaction time scales much faster than dekus danger sense. Also liebe multiply his stats and power and he also in the manga is learning ki manipulation to even multiply his magic and union form to a much higher rate and last longer.
Ok, blunt venting time. Next time should have been Omnimon vs Gogeta. A Digimon fight that does not have a Digimon fighting a Pokémon nor any other character from a monster battles series.
26:55. Ok comment section don’t flame me please but I believe when people say Gogeta is stronger they’re referring to the fact that in both of they’re most recent appearances Gogeta was the lastest fusion meaning he would be stronger since as time goes on db characters naturally get stronger.
Vegito is the stronger Fusion. BUT, Gogeta is the latest Fusion that was used, which means in the latest chapters, Gogeta would be stronger since Goku and Vegeta got MUCH stronger since the last time they fused into Vegito.
I would say it was a good episode but yeah, this was pretty close and I will say it at that. Next Time with Vegito and Gogeta, I don't know what I can even say for this one since I am not much of a Dragon Ball fan so this isn't much of a hype one for me like I feel like there could've been another matchup that was finale worthy but easy come, easy go and also why are we waiting 3 weeks for this like that, I need an explaination from the crew on since December 20th is a Tuesday.
There's a lot of debate and inconclusive stuff in Dragonball between whether Potara fusions or dance fusions are better. When introduced in the Buu saga, Potara fusions were definitely much stronger, but a lot of that has been retconned. I'm honestly really disappointed with this fight choice just because I had been really looking forward to Vegito vs Omnimon from Digimon, and this means we're probably not getting that for a long time.
No, a lot of people in my opinion have a bias towards gogeta just because he’s more popular. There’s much more evidence to support that the potara earrings are stronger than the fusion dance. I mean it’s literally stated to be stronger at one point lol. Also some of the arguments made for gogeta are just straight up dumb. My least favorite being “vegito never beat any of the villains he’s fought!” But fail to mention that vegito was purposefully absorbed by buu and zamasu was literally immortal. Even if gogeta managed to destroy zamasu’s physical body, he still would have needed Zeno to destroy the universe. The only reason gogeta is considered to be stronger by some fans is just because he’s had the most entertaining fights, therefore making him more popular among the dragon ball community.
Deku is a hard one to fit into Deathbattle because the hole tagline of the show is this is how I became the world's greatest hero that by that statement he is going to surpass everyone in that world but hes still at the beginning of his jurny
I'm just going to say this as unbiased as possible because I do prefer black clover over MHA. This battle was "hard work beats natural talent when natural talent doesn't work hard" for me, and I say that because Deku didn't start working hard until he was guaranteed a quirk, but Asta was working on his physical therapy since childhood because he hoped to get a grimiore later.
This was nice & fun. 11:42 DB is not immune to the misconception that European greatswords are beat sticks. Greatswords like any sword made for fighting can cut & slice.
Was there a copyright issue with the fight music in this one? Regardless, this was still a fun one. I agree the interactions were really fun, and I liked seeing your takes on My Hero Academia and Black Clover
haha I actually joked with my younger brother about Vegito and Gogeta fusing. He (like many other people, based on the comments) is upset about them not going up against Omnimon.
Base Asta can dodge light speed attacks while awake too, they chose that as an example because it’s funny and because it’s even more impressive being able to do it while asleep.
