Interlude
(Track: )

Ryuu: Death Battle. Since the dawn of time, mankind has been creating stories. Tales of heroes and villains with more potential than any other, woven to teach important moral lessons and give others inspiration.

Koharu: And as long as there have been those stories, there’ve been people asking, “Who'd win in a fight - Zeus or Odin? Lincoln or Washington? Bubsy or Dracula?” I mean, maybe not the last one, but you get the idea.

Ryuu: That's where we come in. We are the Wakahisa siblings, master and mistress of the arts of war.

Koharu: I'm Koharu, the seamstress of shadows... And clearly the brains of the operation!

Ryuu: And Ryuu, the fighting dragon. Our goal is to analyze the abilities, equipment, and techniques of two opposing forces to determine who would reign supreme in a fight to the death.

Koharu: On this first incredible episode of Death Battle KR, though, it's not as simple as two guys with giant swords and lots of belts slapping each other around. That wouldn't be very fun. Or original. I'd fall asleep halfway through the narration!

Ryuu: These first competitors are abstract armies - forces of nature that have hijacked humanity to achieve their own ends. Namely, planetwide assimilation.

Koharu: In the blue corner, it's the fungus that bites back - The Last of Us’ Cordyceps Brain Infection! And in the red corner, it's the classic horde you all know and love - Left 4 Dead’s Green Flu!

Ryuu: Each plague takes human beings and twists them into the mindless means of its spreading; but if these two titans of infection clashed, which would reign supreme?

Green Flu
(Track: )

Ryuu: Nobody knows how the Green Flu, also known among its survivors as the Infection, started. It just showed up one day in Pennsylvania, during late August in 2009. Within two weeks, though, nearly the entire state had been overrun by the mysterious level-4 biohazard.

Koharu: As if that origin wasn't enigmatic enough, the Green Flu itself has an incredible tendency to resist research. It's ever-changing, constantly mutating, giving scientists a troublesome time when figuring out a cure. Even its name can be misleading - it's more like rabies than influenza, and the only reason it's called a flu at all is to prevent civilians from panicking.

Ryuu: Green Flu follows some of the most recognized tropes of zombie viruses. Those infected are twisted into bloodthirsty degenerates hell-bent on brutally tearing apart any human that isn't infected. The majority of subjects move in large clusters called Hordes and are never armed, instead preferring to overwhelm targets through sheer numbers.

Koharu: And then there are the Special Infected. Because of the disease’s mutative nature, occasionally subjects will be transformed into variants with unique traits. The Jockeys latch onto targets and ride them around in an attempt to steer them into danger. The Hunters pin their prey to the ground and ferociously tear them apart.

Ryuu: Smokers attack from the shadows, latching onto uninfected with their tongues and pulling them away from their allies while choking them out. Spitters are able to use their noxious stomach acid to burn their enemies. Chargers come out of nowhere like angry rhinoceroses, pinning anyone in their path under their massive bulk. Boomers are filled with a noxious bile. When shot, this bile is released, and will react on contact with uninfected to release a pheromone that attracts Hordes.

Koharu: Finally, there are the two rarest varieties, Witches and Tanks. Tanks are walls of muscle and testosterone that eat bullets for breakfast and can tear asphalt apart with their bare hands. Ironically, the thinner and weaker-looking Witches are even more dangerous. These killer grandmas aren't initially hostile, but don't get too close, or they'll rush at you with wicked sharp claws with a rabid screaming that is sure to capture a Horde’s attention.

Ryuu: The biggest strength of the Green Flu is adaptability and strength in numbers. The Special Infected give them the ability to alter its strategy to any opponent.
