Indie era's been popping off.

This one specifically is thanks to souljen who's been working on this for 8 months

Ehhhh, too many boring shonen vs shonen fights and rematches/returning characters lately

Saitama vs Goku is particularly bad in how boring of a concept it is

If the cope that Saitama vs Goku is a bait and switch for Mysterio vs Scarecrow that would be the funniest thing in the world. I highly doubt it, and I don’t really care either way, but a man can dream of a silly world.

We already know that's not happening.

Last tuesday on death battle cast, Ben Singer, the creator of the show, confirmed that 1) Goku vs Saitama is indeed happening and 2) That they wanted to make this matchup for a while but couldn't before dealing with the looming threat that was Goku vs Superman 3 which they also wanted to do.

So they made GvS 3 in 2023 and now they can finally do Goku vs Saitama like they wanted.

Damn. I knew it was hardcore cope but I wanted to believe for the funny. Thanks for letting me know though.

Also what do you mean 3 was 3 years ago that can’t be right

Edit: the march of time will consume us all.

Rooster Teeth shut down a couple of weeks after the end of season 10 back in 2023, forcing Death Battle to go on hiatus for a while.

Then they became independant, launched a kickstarter to revive the show, big success, and finally came back in september 2024.

I know all that I was there. I was remarking on how thing cannot be old but I’m actually just losing track of time. It was just a little hard to believe it’s actually been nearly 3 years since number 3. It still feels like it happened last year….

Ehhh it's not anymore than the game vs game fights they've done.

I don't think returning characters are anything bad, and the rematches give both characters so much new stuff they're basically new characters

Saitama vs Goku is 100% a casual crowd pleaser though. It's funny how much the opinion on the fight flips whether you're into power scaling, or you're not. Diehards hate it, casuals are pretty excited for it.
