Raven vs Dante

Raven takes on a demon hunter Known as Dante for the Battle Of Demons

Interlude
Boomstick: Demons... Hellbent on Destroying the world but these Demonic Heroes always come to mind.

Wiz: Raven, The Half Demon Sorceress Of The Teen Titans.

Boomstick: And Dante, The Devil Hunter.

Boomstick: He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick.

Wiz: and it’s our job to analyze the weapons, armor, and Skills to find out who would win a death Battle.

Raven
Wiz: A strong emotion can drastically change a person. Fear can trigger instincts necessary for survival, anger can increase adrenaline for incredible feats of strength.

Boomstick: And for this edgy looking chick with a wicked cloak, that's kind of her thing. This is Raven.

Wiz: From the day Raven was born in her home dimension of Azarath, she wasn't the most popular girl around.

Boomstick: Yeah, it's not exactly a good sign when, right as you're born, the sky turns black and the whole world suddenly smells like farts.

Wiz: See, Raven is the daughter of a human mother and a fearsome demon.

Boomstick: Who is literally made up of hatred, not even kidding.

Wiz: Because of her heritage, Raven's own mental state holds the key to a fearsome inner power. She is an empath, a mage who can sense, create, and manipulate emotions.

Popup: She could naturally absorb emotions, but eventually learned to manipulate emotions entirely.

Boomstick: So her powers are all about feelings and stuff? That's pretty lame.

Wiz: Tell that to her when she scrambles your brain, or forces you to feel so greedy, you steal from your boss.

Boomstick: Oh, you don't need to convince me to do that.

Wiz: Wait, what?

Boomstick: Uh, I mean, yeah, that's pretty intense, but hey, she's got a lot more deadliness packed away under that cool cloak.

Wiz: When she was eighteen years old, Raven met her father for the first time, and it, uh, didn't go very well.

Boomstick: Yeah, demon dad shot her mom with a grandma laser, that pissed off Raven so much, she finally let loose.

Wiz: This shadowy figure is her Soul-Self, an extension of her spirit, and manifestation of the powers inherited from Trigon. Raven often wields it as her primary means of offense and defense, though it can function on its own.

Boomstick: I wish I had a pet bird that could do what the Soul-Self can, this beauty lets Raven fly, use it's eyes and ears, or just punch people like a big old battering bird.

Wiz: It can drain the energy and powers of others, and also serves as a sort of pocket dimension, which Raven can trap a limited number of foes and objects within.

Boomstick: Talk about convenient, but she can do way more, she can levitate, teleport, heal others, cast energy shields, phase through walls, and blast people with mystical energy beams. (makes firing sounds)

Popup: She can also fly! At first, with just her Soul-Self, but after a body switch-up, she could do so on her own.

Wiz: But there is one drawback, to wield her power, Raven must embrace emotion, and too much emotion risks opening her mind to Trigon's corruption.

Boomstick: When she gives into her darker side, her entire personality changes.

(a red eyed, demonic Raven uses tentacles to pull in Dr. Light)

Raven: (Demonic voice) What's the matter? Afraid of the dark?

Dr. Light: I surrender!

Wiz: Under a new persona, appropriately named Dark Raven.

Boomstick: Dark Raven is stronger, tougher, and freakier then your everyday Raven, she can shoot lasers from her eyes, disintegrate stuff with her hand beams, and shape shift, and her Soul-Self is so powerful, it can wipe most people off the face of the earth in an instant.

Wiz: However, Dark Raven's incredible capabilities are a double edged sword. By tapping into her father's demonic powers, she risks transporting Trigon himself to the living realm, kick starting devastation across the universe.

Boomstick: Kickstarting? Wonder what the tier rewards are like for that, pledge twenty bucks and get an autograph from Satan.

Wiz: Thankfully, she has been able to free herself from Trigon's control, granting her unlimited access to her own magical abilities.

Boomstick: Sometimes she even wears white to celebrate the occasion, or is that just for her wedding with Beast Boy? Oh wait, that never happened! These comic books reboot way too often for any relationships to actually have lasting consequences, silly me.

Popup: In some timelines, the white garments appear when she's free from Trigon. In main series comics, they're more symbolic than literal.

Wiz: Last, but not least, there's Raven's golden form, a spiritual body free from Trigon's influence, which manifested after she turned evil and had to be killed by her friends, the Teen Titans.

Boomstick: Oh, that's messed up.

Wiz: It happens a lot, actually. Anyway, Raven's accomplished plenty of incredible feats.

Boomstick: She's bent steel girders with her magic, toughed out getting thrown butt first into a brick wall so hard it broke, the wall, not her butt, and even helped Terra, a fellow Titan, raise the Teen Titans headquarters and the island it's on.

Wiz: Terra alone was barely able to stop the island's descent, and together, they pushed it back up to its rightful place. This means Raven lifted more than half of the island's weight. The Titan's Tower island is similar in location and size to Alcatraz, which ha a with of 559 yards. Assuming the most likely granite composition and accounting for a 30% hollow interior, Raven's energy output would need to be about fourteen million megawatt-hours, that's enough energy to power all of New York City for over three years.

Popup: This particular Titan's Tower is located in Jump City, which is based on San Francisco and Boston.

Boomstick: Raven's Soul-Self can survive thirty thousand feet below the surface of the ocean with no problem.

Wiz: That's almost 14,700 pounds per square inch, 42 times the PSI needed to crack most bones.

Boomstick: And it's tough enough to survive laser blasts from aliens that hurt Donna Troy, who can survive moon busting attacks.

Wiz: The villain Sparta's lasers could destroy people in an instant, which requires nearly three billion joules of energy, and Raven's Soul-Self powered through several of these blasts and held together.

Boomstick: The Soul-Self is also stupidly fast, it once flew from New York City to Blue Valley, Nebraska and back in less than five minutes.

Popup: Back then, the Soul-Self could only exist separate from Raven for up to five minutes. This limit has been nullified since then.

Wiz: The distance between those cities is 1,166 miles as the crow, er, Raven flies, to make this trip in time, Raven's Soul-Self must've flown more than thirty six times the speed of sound.

Boomstick: Not impressed? Well, when she was golden ghosty Raven, she flew between the Earth and moon like it was nothing.

Wiz: So, plenty of impressive feats, but unfortunately, Raven's powers have daunting and often costly limits. When the Soul-Self takes damage, Raven feels the pain herself.

Boomstick: She's kinda like a glass cannon, and overtaxes her own abilities pretty frequently.

Wiz: But don't disregard this as only mere physical ineptitude, when Raven utilizes emotions in combat, she tackles that emotion head on. The more negative the emotion, the more pain she feels.

Boomstick: And don't forget, she's also struggling not to feel so Satan doesn't show up. With all that going on at once, it's no wonder she passes out sometimes.

Wiz: But with the help of her friends, and her adoptive Azarathian family, Raven eventually overcame Trigon's iron grip and defeated him.

Boomstick: Yeah, you'd think a guy like Trigon would think twice before messing with someone as powerful as Raven.

Brother Blood: (blasts Beast Boy and Blue Beetle with dark energy) No... you stay away from me, you demon filth!

Raven: They're not demons; let me show you one. Azarath metrion zinthos! (summons her soul self, which soars above Raven and screeches)

Dante
(*Cues: Devils Never Cry - Devil May Cry 3*)

Wiz: Take a walk down Slum Avenue and you'll find all sorts of hangouts for the scum of the underworld. The Bullseye Bar, a random strip club, and even a run-down service shop called "Devil May Cry."

Boomstick: But the services they're selling aren't like washing your car or fixin' your plumbing. Oh no! Long as you got the cash, this shop specializes in delivering demonic beatdowns. Who's crazy enough to try and make a living this way you ask? His name is Dante.

(*Cues: Lock & Load - Devil May Cry*)

Wiz: From the very beginning, Dante's life was always unusual. Born from the unholy union of a human mother and demon father, Dante and his twin brother Vergil had their first supernatural encounter at the young age of eight.

Boomstick: Yeah, see, his demon dad was a badass who singlehandedly conquered the underworld and imprisoned its demon emperor, Mundus. But after Dad died, Mundus' minions felt brave enough to take some revenge, by slaughtering his family, leaving Dante an orphan. Bummer. Hate it when that happens.

Wiz: With his mother gone and his brother assumed dead, Dante was left with only one option: Become the ultimate demon hunter, and perpetuate the cycle of vengeance.

Dante: This party's getting crazy! Let's rock!

Dante struggles to turn on his boombox until he karate chops it.

(*Cues: Devils Never Cry - Devil May Cry 3 again*)

Wiz: Despite the dangerous nature of his occupation, Dante always maintains a carefree spirit when dispatching devils of the underworld.

Boomstick: It's part of his charm. Hell, when you've got abilities like Dante's, why not be a little cocky? He's faster than the mortal eye can see, strong enough to grapple with the underworld's toughest demons, and straight up man enough to shake off being stabbed through the chest like every god damn day!

Wiz: That's thanks to his regenerative ability. In fact, all of that is made possible due to his demonic heritage, and made even more deadly by his plethora of weapons, his favorites being his dual pistols and enormous sword.

Boomstick: Like any proud weapon owner, he gives his tools of destruction pet names. His guns, Ebony and Ivory, specialize in long range shots and rapid fire barrages respectively. These hand canons are so powerful they can each obliterate demons in a single shot.

(*Cues: Taste the Blood - Devil May Cry 3*)

Dante shoots off Echidna's head without looking.

Dante: I think that look suits you better.

Boomstick: Rebellion is a large, magical sword given to him by his pops, which can cut any demon down to size in the blink of an eye. He's also got his brother's sword, Yamato, which can cut through dimensions!

Wiz: Throughout his adventures, Dante also collected a wide assortment of additional weaponry called Devil Arms, physical manifestations of powerful demons he has defeated.

Boomstick: Remember Mega Man? It's that, but on steroids.

Wiz: His armored Gilgamesh gauntlets increase his striking power, letting him shatter huge monoliths with a lethal one-inch punch.

Boomstick: With Lucifer- the backpack, not the devil- Dante basically throws infinite lightsabers. He's also got an electric guitar, which is literally electric, ice powered nunchucks, grenade launchers, shotguns, and, I kid you not, a briefcase that can transform into 666 different weapons, ranging from a giant beyblade to a flying turret gun. Where does he possibly keep all this stuff?

Wiz: Really, really deep pockets, or perhaps its one of his Styles, abilities he's also acquired from defeating demon bosses. With Doppelganger Style, he can duplicate himself, with Trickster Style, he can teleport instantly, with Royalguard Style, he becomes a nigh-impervious dreadnaught, and he can even slow down time with the Quicksilver Style.

(*Cues: Blackened Angel (Battle) - Devil May Cry 4

Boomstick: On the rare occasion Dante feels he needs to get serious, he enters the Devil Trigger, a transformation which taps into his demonic heritage to unleash his true devil form. Devil Trigger dramatically increases his strength, speed, and healing power, and he can fly!

Wiz: Being so well armed, Dante is more than capable of handling entire courts of demons on his own, although this doesn't stop some of his allies from joining in from time to time. This includes Trish, a demon lady who occasionally fights alongside him, and happens to resemble his deceased mother... talk about giving somebody an Oedipus complex.

Boomstick: Hey, if I may quote an old family saying, "If she's not directly related, she's safe to be dated".

Wiz: That explains a lot. Luckily, and quite surprisingly, that avenue was never explored, thank God.

(*Cues: Shall Never Surrender - Devil May Cry 4*)

Boomstick: Dante is a walking, talking, feat achieving machine. One time, after getting impaled by four demons at once, he pushed one so hard, it exploded, and dropped a ceiling fan on the other three, all while eating a slice of pizza. Oh, and when their friends showed up, he challenged them to a game of billiards.

Dante fires a bullet from his gun to knock the balls into the demons, knocking them out cold.

Boomstick: He won.

Wiz: Dante has run down the side of a building so fast he caught fire, similar to a spacecraft reentering the atmosphere at approximately 17,000 miles per hour.

Boomstick: And he's even capable of taking out others just as overpowered as himself. like his brother Vergil, who was not dead, but evil.

Wiz: He stopped a colossal punch from this titanic monster without breaking a sweat, shrugged off bombardment by meteors, and eventually avenged his mother by defeating the demon lord Mundus, in space.

Boomstick: You may be asking yourself, "Can anything stop this guy?" Yes. Dante does have a limit to how much punishment he can take, but if there's anything that could take him down, it's his own cocky attitude.

Wiz: In the words of the ancient Chinese philosopher Laozi, "There is no greater danger than underestimating your opponent."

Boomstick: I'm gonna have to disagree with old Laozi here. I'm pretty sure there's no greater danger than telling a woman those pants do, in fact, make her ass look fat.

Sid: You bastard!

He runs at Dante and leaps at him, Dante aims his gun at Sid.

Dante: And jackpot.

He fires, striking Sid.

Death Battle Intermission
Wiz: Alright The Combatants Are Set Let’s End the debate Once and for all.

Boomstick: It’s time for a demonic Death Battle!!!!!

Raven was chilling at a Halloween like town and Then Dante jumps down from out of nowhere to the ground. Dante: Woah. Do you know anything about the Crucible? (Cues: Finale by Madeon OST)

Raven: if you know anything about the Crucible then I’m sorry it’s too Dangerous for you to wield.

Dante: Woah doesn’t she even Though I’m Half Demon.

Dante: How come I never meet any nice girls.

Raven quickly does a kicking barrage on Dante then Kicks him backwards and then through the Portal and Out Of The Portal comes Raven Kicking Dante Again. Sending him falling to the Ground and then Raven Shot Spears To Dante and Then Dante went into Devil Trigger Mode And Then Dante kicked Raven causing her to backflip onto her feet.
