Oh joy. It’s the worst traits of Naruto after the writer got high and watched Sky High vs a design-by-committee shonen protag.

 

At least we get to watch one of them die.

 

Am I the only one that found the preview and song hilarious? MHA forces kids to go through bloodsports, competing like gladiators in front of their corpo-feddie overlords so they can get placed in a high seed, being encouraged to hit their female classmates as hard as they can so they can impress the adults, being forced by law to do this because if they don’t they won’t get their license and without a license using superpowers is verboten and will get the commissars after them–and Deku is either about to die in one of their stupid tournaments or kill another young man in front of an audience.

Meanwhile, the song, which is simply awful, is about how they’re both heroes and are going to save the day and bring light to the dark and comfort the fearful…and they’re about to execute a child. In public. At a karate tournament.

 

Man, the song is awful. It sounds like it came from an early 2000’s superhero movie soundtrack. It sounds like the next verse is going to be WAKE ME UP (wake me up inside) CAN’T WAKE UP.

 

Just look at these lyrics.

 

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO SAVE YOU

I’M HERE NOW IT’S ALL ALRIGHT

 

All…Alright…yeah, this is a stinker.

 

Even Yates knows it sucks. He has it briefly transition to Mighty as if to say “Hey guys, remember how cool that song was? This song is like that song so you like it too, right?”

 

Yeah, the song you collaborated with Therewolf on.

 

I think it’s clear now who the real Death Battle composer is. I think we all know Therewolf carried Yates, and not like how Goku carries the Z-fighters, but how Superman carries Lois Lane away from danger.

 

Yates was carried and carried and carried hard.

 

Oh yeah, who wins the fight…well damn, I was going to pick whoever G1 didn’t pick, but they tied.

 

I don’t know.

 

In terms of speed they’re both probably going to be starship fast because Death Battle long stopped caring and just looked for whenever someone juked a laser pointer to make them “fast enough.” I’m sure someone shot a laser at Deku and a light spell at Asta. Speed I don’t see speed being a factor.

 

They both sense their opponent’s intentions and locations, so that removes any advantage Deku’s smoke bomb could make.

 

Asta sure has the range advantage since he can grow his sword to gigantic size.

Okay, point to Black Clover, ripping off Dancouga is always cool.

 

Does Asta say something badass like “Give us the likeness of love’s soul to cleave this evil dimension?”

I bet he doesn’t. I bet he just screams.

 

So who’s stronger?

Well, Dancouga, obviously.

 

Oh, the fight…

 

I don’t know. Asta relies on a lot of scaling shit, like this pretty princess cast a spell to move an ocean so we’re going to assume she can use the same amount of force to kick and Asta is stronger than that and blah blah blah, so it depends on how strong a grip the brainworms have on the DB writers. Deku is almost as bad, because Deku has been grinding the “X percent of my power level” gimmick into a rut for years so he’s got all these different powers like kinetic absorption and momentum redirection that lets him add more and more power to his punches, because god forbid the writer has him do anything but grit his teeth and throw his body and soul behind a haymaker to beat the bad guy. that might actually make MHA palatable.

So for Asta it’s going to depend how they have their magic calculator set up to to account for the force of spells not being directly transferable in all situations vs Asta being super anti-magic…or them not accounting for it…vs Deku being like…I don’t know, 3X what they had All-Might at when Might Guy killed him.

 

Screw it. I’m rooting Asta, betting Deku, because I’m a pessimist at heart.
