Adam Taurus VS Kinnikuman Super Phoenix is a what-if Death Battle by Unbacked0. It features Adam Taurus from the RWBY series and Kinnikuman Super Phoenix from the Kinnikuman series in a battle.
Description[]
RWBY VS Kinnikuman! A battle between spiteful leaders who strive to ruin their lives and kill all of those who they feel make their lives worse.
Introduction[]
Wiz: Those who lead harsh lives are often those with the strongest wills, they can either become the world's greatest heroes or fight back against the world as cruelly as possible.
Boomstick: Like Adam Taurus, the vengeful leader of the White Fang...
Wiz: And Kinnikuman Super Phoenix, the spiteful Fated Prince.
Boomstick: He's Wiz, and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
Adam Taurus Moonslices his way into Death Battle[]
Wiz: In the world of Remnant, there exists many fantastical creatures and beings from the menacing Grimm to even the godly Brothers, however, one more humble race is that of the Faunus, a group of human-like beings with some animalistic features.
Boomstick: And it's not great to be them, they suffer constant abuse from those nasty humans and can even be killed by them.
Wiz: Tired of their ruthless oppression by humanity, a group of Faunus would come together and form an organisation known as the White Fang in order to fight for equality. Within their ranks lie a man destined to change the course of the White Fang forever, for better and for far far worse, Adam Taurus.
Background:
- Height: 6'4" (193 cm)
- Weight: Unknown
- Occupation: Leader of the White Fang (Formerly)
- Affiliation: The White Fang (Formerly)
- Species: Faunus
- Faunus Trait: Bull Horns
- Original Partner and mentor of Blake Belladonna
Boomstick: Adam was your average bull boy with your average "my world is run by racists who hate me" problems, most of his past isn't known but you don't get a brand seared on your face without having some baggage.
Wiz: Adam would join the White Fang and after they were attacked by a group of bandits looking to kill them, Adam would fight back and accidentally kill one of them, earning him the respect that Adam wanted and would aim to maintain.
Boomstick: Oh, this is going downhill fast. Anyways, Adam would become a trusted murder man by Sienna Kahn, the new leader of the White Fang and her direct war with racism.
Wiz: And Adam would have the tools and abilities to fight in this war and make a name for himself.
Abilies:
- Aura
- Protective forcefield that surrounds his body.
- Protects Adam from attacks as well as intense temperatures.
- Increases user's perception of the environment around them.
- Heals the user from minor injuries like light scratches.
- Faunus Physiology
- Heightened senses such as night vision.
- Allows Adam to fight while blindfolded.
Boomstick: First off, being a Faunus gives Adam some pretty nifty benefits like far better senses that are so good that Adam could literally fight while blindfolded.
Wiz: And Adam would eventually unlock his Aura, the natural defense for any fighter in the world of Remnant. Aura is an invisible passive forcefield that protects Adam at all times, making attacks that would normally kill Adam just to knock him aside. Aura also gives Adam a very slight healing factor, allowing him to heal from cuts dealt to his body, and makes Adam's perception of the world around him far greater, making it practically impossible for anyone to sneak up on him.
Weapon: Wilt & Blush:
- Adam's signature weapons.
- Wilt is a red sword and Blush is a sheath that acts as a rifle.
- Blush uses Fire Dust as its main ammo.
- When Wilt is sheathed in Blush, it can be launched from it like a projectile.
- Wilt can be used along with Adam's Semblance to block and absorb attacks to be used later.
Boomstick: Naturally, Adam would need some sick ass weapons to improve his murder spree and being a character from RWBY, he'd get something above everyone's expectations.
Wiz: Adam's main weapons are Wilt and Blush. Wilt being the name of his crimson blade that is so sharp that it can carve through metallic robots with complete ease and block energy beams.
Boomstick: You might be wondering where Blush is then. Well, Adam didn't want to waste space with a dumb sheath so he turned it into a gun, a rifle more specifically. With it, Adam can blast people away with special fire-type bullets and if he puts Wilt in it, then Adam can just shoot it out like a small cannonball, perfect for surprise attacks.
Wiz: While these two are made to kill, they are also very effective at defending Adam from oncoming attacks, Wilt especially, which Adam uses to fuel his Semblance.
Semblance: Moonslice:
- Absorbs energy to be released in a powerful sword attack.
- Strength of Moonslice varies depending on how much energy Adam absorbed.
- Can be used to create afterimages and shoot out waves of energy.
Boomstick: Adam's Semblance, Moonslice, lets him drain power from whatever he blocks with his sword before he deals it all back in one completely devastating slash.
Wiz: Adam can use this stored energy to create afterimages that follow behind him, making it more difficult to follow Adam's movements as well as launch powerful waves of energy.
Boomstick: That's good and all, but let's be real here when you can do a single katana cut that looks as cool as Moonslice does, do you really need anything else? Sure, it may be a one use trick but he can always charge up another one, assuming he didn't just kill whoever he's fighting.
Wiz: Okay, fair enough. It was all of his combat prowess and brutal efficiency that garnered a cult of personality in the White Fang and a promotion to Sienna's right hand.
Boomstick: And then Adam's downfall hit him harder then a series of train crashes when he got involved with Cinder Fall and her bid to help Salem conquer/destroy the world/die.
Wiz: While Adam was forced to help her, Adam was forced to ramp up the White Fang's acts of terrorism until Sienna confronted Adam on it. By this point, all of the hatred that Adam had seen made him reconsider the White Fang's purpose, instead of making Faunus equals with humanity, they would become their superiors.
Boomstick: Yeah and Sienna was the first to get a gut full of Adam's sword. Bet she felt the irony of being killed by the person she motivated to become a killer, probably not as much as the lethal stab wound, though.
Wiz: Now with all the power he wanted, Adam was going to abuse the Hell out of it.
Feats:
- Effortlessly cut through Schnee Dust Company robots.
- Blocked machine gun fire with his sword.
- Disintegrated a large scorpion robot with Moonslice.
- Cut off Yang's arm with Moonslice.
- Fought on par with Yang and Blake at the same time.
- Overthrew Sienna and took over the White Fang.
Boomstick: And he wasn't exactly powerless before. Adam's easily able to cut down robots and fight on par with pro-hunters like Blake and Yang, the latter of whom he infamously cut the hand off before she even knew what hit her.
Wiz: He did so with his Moonslice, same with the time when Adam used the Moonslice to cut a large scorpion robot so hard that it disintegrated.
Boomstick: Even without it, he's fast enough to block Dust bullets and energy beams and keep up with the likes of Cinder Fall who can dodge naturally created lightning. And when Yang and Blake got their rematch, Adam still held his own without the element of surprise and being outnumbered.
Wiz: This is impressive because Blake and Yang scale to people like Mercury and Emerald who were able to defeat the Fall Maiden Amber. Maidens in RWBY are beings with magical powers so potent that they can summon a heavy storm with just a thought.
Boomstick: Yeah, these ladies can cause natural disasters when they feel like it. Storms as big as the one that fellow Maiden Raven was able to make need 18 kilotons to make.
Wiz: And given that Adam is seen as a viable threat to Yang and Blake, he should scale to this level of power.
Weaknesses:
- Aura can be diminished and broken.
- Losses access to Moonslice without Aura.
- Is prone to lashing out in rage.
- Can't use Moonslice without his sword.
Boomstick: While all this makes Adam seem invincible, he's kinda not. Adam needs his Aura to survive any strong hit, without it he's basically a gunshot or stab wound away from dying and that's not to talk about him not being able to use his Semblance without his Aura, it kinda sucks that your own unique superpower up and leaves you when you're almost dead.
Wiz: And over time, Adam would start to lose it, the power going to his head and the love of his life, Blake, separating herself from him made Adam's descent even more severe. This made Adam more rash and violent, ending with him going on a massacre through the White Fang base, eliminating most of them before he went off to kill Blake.
Boomstick: Like the desperate ex he was, Adam tried to take everything out of his ex-girlfriend until she and her girlfriend pulled a fast one on Adam and killed him deader than dead.
Wiz: While Adam may have betrayed everything he stood for in a vain attempt to gain more power and respect, it's this lethal drive, the willingness to throw everything away, that makes him one of the deadliest threats that Remnant has ever seen.
Kinnikuman Super Phoenix gets his revenge on Death Battle[]
Wiz: Have you ever considered what were to happen if you were the child of someone else, how your life and all of its experiences would be drastically different than they are today?
Boomstick: Every day of my life, Wiz.
Wiz: A question that is best applied to one of the strongest warriors born on Planet Kinniku, the man who had a royal life at his fingertips multiple times before it was cruelly taken from him, Phoenixman.
Background:
- Real/Former Name: Phoenixman
- Aliases: Kinnikuman Super Phoenix
- Age: 24
- Height: 190cm, 6'2"
- Weight: 114kg, 251lbs
- Chosen one of the God of Intelligence
- Leader of Team Super Phoenix
- Master of the Muscle Revenger
Boomstick: Born the same day as the prince of Planet Kinniku, Phoenixman was pretty much born into a shitty life, filled with such tragedies as being poor and having a sick mother, so you know, basically my life.
Wiz: Ummm... Well, Phoenixman always tried to make the best of a bad situation, always striving and training so that one day, he could earn himself a nice life for his family, however, when Phoenixman saw that the Prince of Planet Kinniku, Kinnikuman who was far dumber and weaker then him, Phoenixman realised the inherent cruelty and unfairness in the hierarchical world.
Boomstick: Getting a little too political here. But anyway, when Kinnikuman went missing when he was thrown out of a moving space ship by the King and Queen because they mistook him for an actual pig, no joke, Phoenixman tried to win the tournament so he could become the next prince until Phoenixman's dad died in an accident and Kinnikuman was found, ruining Phoenixman's chances again.
Wiz: All of this would build up until Phoenixman was found by the God of Intelligence who would manipulate Phoenixman until thinking that there was a mix-up in the hospital where Phoenixman and Kinnikuman were born at and that he was the true prince. The God of Intelligence didn't actually think this, but he knew that Phoenixman's hatred would be the best thing to use to kill Kinnikuman.
Boomstick: And so on that day, they say that the hatred in Phoenixman's heart grew three times that day as he renamed himself after the man who ruined his life, becoming Kinnikuman Super Phoenix.
Chojin Physiology:
- Superhuman strength, speed & durability
- Flight
- Can grow up to 30 metres tall
- Low-level Regeneration
Wiz: Cool name aside, Super Phoenix was aided in his quest for vengeance and conquest by his own physiology. Just from a Chojin, Super Phoenix is far stronger, faster and more durable than any human could dream of being as well as being able to casually fly through the air, survive in space and even regenerate from major wounds dealt to his body.
Boomstick: All-American hero Terryman had the skin of his arm shredded away down to the bone and managed to heal from it in about an hour.
Wiz: But Super Phoenix has more up his sleeves than just being his own race.
Abilities:
- Face Flash
- Phoenix Madness Wave
- Genius Intelligence
Boomstick: Yeah, like his Phoenix Madness Wave where he can shoot mind beams from his mind which hypnotises you into doing whatever he wants, which he can also use on dead bodies, somehow.
Wiz: While Boomstick has his preference, I'm personally fond of Super Phoenix's intelligence which he values above raw strength. Even if he is fighting someone far stronger than him, Super Phoenix can calculate the best actions to take to avoid taking as much damage as possible, even from someone like Omegaman Aristera who is 100 times stronger than Super Phoenix was.
Boomstick: But the real cherry on top of his face beam abilities is his Face Flash, weird implication name aside, he can shoot beams from his face when he pulls his mask up which doubles as a way to hide his face. Ah, good ol' light censors, you hide what needs to be hidden and you apparently destroy my enemies.
Wiz: While the Face Flash has shown the ability to perform miracles such as cleaning the environment, healing and reviving others, Super Phoenix has done no such thing, it's possible that his own spiteful nature made what would normally be something that helps others into something that destroys all that it touches.
Boomstick: And he's a better man for it.
Techniques:
- Death Body Shoot
- Raging Ox
- Niku Curtain
- Muscle Inferno
- Muscle Revenger
Wiz: While these abilities served Super Phoenix well, it was the wrestling techniques that make him a truly devastating force. From his Raging Ox where he ties his victims' limbs with the ropes of separate sides of the ring before delivering a knee to their heart, to his Death Body Shoot where he kicks a dead body at his opponent.
Boomstick: Yeah, I don't think these count as wrestling techniques...
Wiz: Well, Super Phoenix does have a variety of standard wrestling moves such as body slams, piledrivers, suplexes and lariats but those aren't his signature techniques. While they may be unorthodox, Super Phoenix's signature techniques are lethal in battle but they wouldn't be enough to earn him the throne so Super Phoenix would master something that would put him above anyone else, the Muscle Revenger.
Boomstick: The Muscle Revenger is one of the Three Great Secret techniques of the Kinniku Clan, something he needed to do to become a royal, because how can you call yourself a king if you can't crack someone's skull open over the corner of a wrestling ring.
Wiz: The Muscle Revenger is noted as being practically impossible to master by anyone but the most skilled fighter, but anyone who does master it and gets someone in the Muscle Revenger's hold, it is borderline impossible to break out of without outside help and is so strong that even Ideaman, a literal God protecting his head with Hardness Level 10 was still heavily damaged by the technique.
Boomstick: And if that wasn't bad enough, Super Phoenix decided to master a second of the Three great techniques because he can. The Muscle Inferno is a move where he runs around his victim fast enough to leave afterimages before kicking them up and riding them like a surfboard into a wall.
Wiz: While all of these are incredibly deadly in a fight, Super Phoenix took the time to learn how to use an incredibly versatile defensive technique in the form of the Niku Curtain, another technique passed down the Kinniku Clan, however, instead of learning through his sheer genius, Super Phoenix learned it from Kinnikuman himself.
Feats:
- Mastered two of the Three Great Secret techniques of the Kinniku Clan.
- Defeated Kinnikuman Big Body, Ataru Kinniku, Brocken Jr. and Neptuneman.
- Almost killed Kinnikuman.
- Intercept Kinnikuman's Face Flash with his own Face Flash.
- Survived a beat down from Omegaman Aristera while they had a Chojin Power of 86 million.
- Defeated Ideaman and The Notorious in a tag team match with Kinnikuman Big Body.
Boomstick: Yeah, Super Phoenix has the win/lose ratio to match his insane skills, he's defeated fellow Fated Princes Ataru Kinniku and Kinnikuman Big Body, defeated two Gods in a tag team match and almost killed Kinnikuman, even going as far as to Flash their faces at each other in the most literal example of a face-to-face fight.
Wiz: Kinnikuman is no push-over with him managing to kill the Bottomless Alien which had seemingly eaten an entire Moon and being able to punch a Sumo wrestler to the Moon so hard that he chipped off a piece of the Moon and Super Phoenix almost beat Kinnikuman in a mostly fair fight.
Boomstick: Almost being the key word here.
Wiz: The two had an incredibly fierce fight with both going all out to win their spot as the next King of Planet Kinniku, however, Super Phoenix never stood a chance. Not from being too weak, in fact, the two were identical, however, Super Phoenix lacked the mercy to win the fight.
Weaknesses:
- Will instantly be killed when exposed to Capillera Light.
- Has an ego problem that can drive him to do borderline suicidal actions.
- Enough of a power difference can make his strategies fall apart.
Boomstick: Unlike Kinnikuman, Super Phoenix was hung up on how badly his life had been and used it as an excuse to treat everyone like shit, completely ignoring that Kinnikuman also had a bad life and had to work his way back up. He went mad and started making throwing everyone besides himself under the bus to get what he wanted.
Wiz: Super Phoenix struggled to let go of his ego and pride, thinking that he could only make something of himself if he tore Kinnikuman down, but even after everything he did, from causing the deaths of Kinnikuman's allies, trying to steal his life and trying to kill him, Kinnikuman forgave Super Phoenix, knowing that he could become a better person.
Boomstick: After killing him first.
Wiz: Kinnikuman revived him afterwards, but the point still stands. Kinnikuman earned Super Phoenix's unending respect to the point that when the Omega Six Spears, a group of powerful aliens that eclipsed Super Phoenix in terms of power, invaded Earth, he would be one of the first to challenge
Boomstick: He's still a prick though.
Wiz: While Super Phoenix has a long way to go before he can be as good as he wants to be, he managed to escape from under Kinnikuman's shadow that he placed himself in decades ago and when looking at his entire life, this is the greatest feat he ever managed.
Pre-Fight[]
Wiz: Alright the combatants are set, and we've run the data through all possibilities. Let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLEEEEE!!!
Fight[]
The scene opens in an empty warehouse, boxes are strutted around the place and only two figures are visible thanks to the lights of the warehouse. One of the two had their sword drawn and pointed at the other person's neck and their arms and legs were bound by rope and they were stuck kneeling on the floor.
Adam: "I recommend you answer me, where is the Dust that's scheduled to be here?"
Adam said with a threatening tone as he brushed the tip of his sword against his bound victim's neck, drawing a slight amount of blood that blended in with the colour of Adam's sword.
Warehouse Worker: "Th-There was a change of sch-schedule, I don't know."
The nameless human sputtered out, closing his eyes and praying that he would get any mercy.
Adam: "Then your life has no value to me..."
Adam bluntly said as he quickly cut the human's throat with his sword, blood flying in the direction that Adam swung his blade.
Adam: "Human scum..."
Adam derided the human, not caring about the loss of life or the blood that he spread.
???: "My, you're just as efficient as I heard."
Adam heard a voice followed by a set of handclaps and footsteps coming from the darkness. Soon a cloaked figure stepped into the light and slowly walked to Adam while speaking.
???: "Cold, calculating and not afraid to spill every drop of a man's blood to get what he wants."
The unknown man continued to speak from his cloak, the intense light made the hood of the cloak cast a dark shadow, making it impossible for Adam to see any facial features aside from a moving mouth with large lips.
Without responding, Adam swung his sword at the new figure, narrowly missing their face and slightly cutting the hood of the cape.
Adam: "Identify yourself or else."
Adam ordered as he kept pointing the sword at the intruder's face. The intruder brought their hand up to the top of their hood and brought the hood back, revealing their face.
Super Phoenix: "I'm Kinnikuman Super Phoenix and I wish to hire you to be on my team for a competition."
After identifying himself, Super Phoenix bluntly stated his reasons for being here while looking Adam dead in the eyes.
Adam: "Is this supposed to be a joke?"
Adam said as he pushed the blade closer to Super Phoenix's face. Just before it stabbed into his forehead, Super Phoenix caught the tip of the blade between the tips of his middle and index fingers.
Super Phoenix: "This isn't a normal competition, it's a tournament to decide whether I, my fellow Fated Princes or that unsufferable oaf Kinnikuman gets to be the next king of Planet Kinniku."
Super Phoenix continued to explain as he pushed Adam's sword back, Adam letting it happen so Super Phoenix could finish speaking.
Super Phoenix: "If I win this and become king, I'll make sure you get rewarded with position and power. I'm sure this would help achieve whatever you desire in exchange for some of my opponent's blood being shed."
Super Phoenix finished speaking. Adam continued to stare at him.
Adam: "I don't fight for any human's cause."
Adam spoke back as he slashed at Super Phoenix's neck, intending to cut it off. Super Phoenix noticed the movement of the blade and ducked under it before delivering a punch to Adam's stomach, knocking him back a few feet but leaving him unharmed
Super Phoenix: "Oh, I was hoping you'd be reasonable but I guess I had set my expectations of you too high."
After speaking, Super Phoenix threw the cloak off of his body, revealing his shirtless muscular body before getting into a good grappling stance. Adam responded by running towards Super Phoenix, his sword and sheath in a hand each, ready to slash at him.
Fight!
Super Phoenix stepped backwards, narrowly dodging the blade that brushed in front of his face, watching it pass by before he grabbed Adam's wrist and judo-threw him over his back a fair distance.
Adam fell to the floor and got to his knees, he saw Super Phoenix running towards him and immediately pointed his sheath at Super Phoenix before pulling the trigger, shooting flame Dust rounds at Super Phoenix who didn't predict the attack coming. The bullets connected with Super Phoenix's chest, leaving small wounds across his chest.
Super Phoenix looked to his left and saw the warehouse worker that Adam had killed earlier. He dove to the side to pick up the body and used it as a meatshield while Adam continued to shoot at him. When he saw that Adam had stopped firing for a second, Super Phoenix leapt high into the air while carrying the body and kicked the body at Adam.
Super Phoenix: "Death Body Shoot!"
Adam moved his sheath back to his waist and slashed the body in half with his sword, making both halves of the corpse fly across both sides of Adam. He looked up, ready to cut at Super Phoenix but he wasn't anywhere in sight.
Super Phoenix had flown above Adam and fell onto him, knee first. His knee collided with the top of Adam's head, making Adam fall to one knee. Super Phoenix leapt from Adam's head as he swung his sword at Super Phoenix, narrowly cutting Super Phoenix's leg.
Despite landing a fairly strong hit on Adam, he wasn't injured at all.
Super Phoenix: "So... Are you going to tell me why you aren't taking damage or do I have to break your bones for you to tell me?"
Super Phoenix asked, leaning back in a way that indicated that he didn't view Adam as a threat.
Adam: "I owe you nothing but my ire, pig..."
Adam spat back as he readied up.
Super Phoenix ran towards Adam and went to punch him. Adam blocked the punch with the blunt sides of his blade. Super Phoenix kept punching at Adam who just kept blocking all of his attacks, not going for a counterattack. Eventually, Super Phoenix would grab Adam's sword and hold it aside.
Super Phoenix: "Heh... What's wrong?"
Adam then received a headbutt from Super Phoenix, knocking Adam back and putting a crack on Adam's mask.
Adam: "Okay, let's see you handle this."
Adam spoke as he sheathed his sword and charged up his Moonslice. Adam started to run around Super Phoenix, after-images following his every movement. Super Phoenix was having trouble keeping up with Adam's movements and performing a leg sweep, intending to trip Adam up, however, he missed and hit one of the after-images instead.
After seeing Super Phoenix mess up his counterattack, Adam slashed at his back, cutting it open and spraying blood out of it. Super Phoenix turned around to face Adam and tried to punch him but he missed and received a slash to his chest instead. From Super Phoenix's perspective, his sight was being dominated by Adam, his clones and their swords swinging around wildly.
Super Phoenix was being overwhelmed by Adam and his after-images onslaught of slashes. In order to buy himself time to think, Super Phoenix brought his arms up to his head, getting in the Niku Curtain's defensive stance.
Adam continued to slash at Super Phoenix, expecting to slice him to pieces where he stood, however, the Niku Curtain stance made Adam's slashes do less and less damage which Adam noticed, causing him to pause for a second.
Super Phoenix: "My turn."
Super Phoenix said with a smirk before kicking at Adam's shin and leaping backwards. Super Phoenix began to leap around Adam in a square shape, gaining speed with every leap until he started to make his own after-images. Adam wasn't going to let Super Phoenix get out of his grasp and slashed towards one of the corners that Super Phoenix and his after-images, sending out a large shockwave at the corner in an attempt to hit him, however, it only hit one of the after-images.
Once Adam's attack failed, all of the after-images and the real Super Phoenix leapt towards Adam with Super Phoenix delivering a rising kick to the back of Adam's head, launching him high into the air.
Super Phoenix: "Muscle Inferno!"
Super Phoenix then stood on Adam's back and rode him through the air like a surfboard, crashing Adam head-first into one of the walls of the warehouse, embedding his head into the metal wall.
Super Phoenix stood on the ground and looked up at Adam, expecting him to have been killed after being hit by one of the Three Great techniques. Super Phoenix saw a red light flicker around Adam's entire body before Adam used his free hands to pull himself free from the wall.
Adam leapt to the ground, his clothes ruffled and the crack on his mask being bigger but aside from that he was no worse for wear.
Super Phoenix: "I don't know how you're still standing but I'll break you down eventually."
Super Phoenix was starting to get annoyed at Adam being unharmed by all of the powerful attacks Super Phoenix had been hitting him with.
Adam: "I'd like to see you try, pig."
Adam mocked Super Phoenix before rushing him with his sword. Super Phoenix took up his Niku Curtain stance, letting Adam slash at his arms over and over again, dealing practically no damage to his body or arms, waiting for Adam to start to tire himself out.
After slashing Super Phoenix's arms and not dealing any damage, he knew he had to change strategies. Adam sheathed his sword and held his position waiting for Super Phoenix to make his move instead. The two held their position until Super Phoenix went for a kick to Adam's stomach.
Not wanting to waste the opening, Adam pulled the trigger on the sheath, launching the blade at high speeds at Super Phoenix's face, hitting him directly with the surprise attack and recoiling from being hit. Adam used the opportunity to attack again, catching his sword and slashing Super Phoenix's face, cutting vertically across his face in between his left eye and nose.
Instead of seeing blood pour out of his wound, Adam saw an intense ray of light shoot out of the wound.
Super Phoenix: "Heh... Hahaha... Did you really think that would work?"
Super Phoenix said as he clutched the cut in his mask before lifting up his mask from underneath his chin, shining a bright light that shot at Adam.
Super Phoenix: "Face Flash!"
The light beam connected with Adam, launching back at the metal wall with enough force to leave a sizable dent in it.
Super Phoenix: "Hahahaha!"
Now having lost it, Super Phoenix kept shining the beams of light from his face everywhere, reflecting them off of various metal services such as some puddles of blood on the floor, some windows and the rafters of the warehouse with these beams connecting with Adam, repeatedly battering him.
Instead of continuing to keep getting hit, Adam blocked the beams of light with his sword, holding the blade steady and absorbing the power from the intense light to power up his Moonslice.
Adam felt the blunt side of his sword pushing against his hand as he held firm, waiting until he had enough strength to unleash his strongest attack on Super Phoenix. As the light continued to be blocked, the red accents of Adam's hair and clothes started to glow brighter. Soon enough, Adam had full power and dodged out of the way of the Face Flash before sheathing his sword into its sheath.
Adam ran towards Super Phoenix who was still shooting light from his face, Adam dodged to the left and right of any beam, not willing to draw his sword to block anything, saving the movement to slash open Super Phoenix's chest. Within seconds, Adam had covered the distance between the two and tightened his grip on his sword's hilt.
Adam: "Let's see you survive this!"
Adam yelled out as he drew his sword and performed a single powerful slash to Super Phoenix, all of the colour in the environment fading besides red. Adam saw blood being spread across the floor by Adam's sword before looking up and seeing Super Phoenix who was holding both of his arms in front of him, having blocked Adam's Moonslice.
Adam: "What?!"
Adam was caught off guard having thought that Super Phoenix had lost it and wouldn't have blocked the move or that Super Phoenix was durable enough to block the move.
Super Phoenix: "Did you really think that would work on me? You really are predictable. All I had to do was move back slightly and move my arms to the right spot and your move fell apart."
Super Phoenix smugly explained as he moved his arms out of his block, not being bothered by the blood flowing from the light wounds on his arms.
Adam: "You! Don't you look down on me!"
Now Adam was starting to lose it, becoming infuriated at Super Phoenix's smug attitude and his strongest move not having worked. Adam immediately went to slash Super Phoenix's throat with his sword, however, Super Phoenix caught the blade with his fingertips again before using his other hand to chop the blunt side of the blade, breaking it in two.
Super Phoenix: "You're out of tricks, you can't beat me."
Super Phoenix said before he quickly ducked down and headbutted the underside of Adam's chin, launching him into the air and making him drop his gun sheath. Super Phoenix leapt up and headbutted Adam again, launching him higher into the air, doing this over and over again until Adam was high enough.
After the fifth headbutt, Super Phoenix leapt onto Adam, flipping him upside down and hooking his legs around Adam's legs while pulling his arms up, making it impossible for Adam to brace himself for the fall he was about to suffer.
Super Phoenix: "Muscle Revenger!"
Super Phoenix yelled out his signature finishing move's name as he held Adam in place, his head pointed down to the ground as they fell down together. Soon enough, the top of Adam's head collided with the ground at high speeds, his Aura flickering before dissipating but that wasn't all that happened to Adam, the force of the technique caused his mask to shatter into pieces and the top of Adam's skull to bleed heavily from the impact, the first time Adam had suffered any bloodloss during the fight.
Super Phoenix let Adam fall to the ground as he leapt away from him, thinking that Adam had been killed by the move, however, Adam got back up, and this time he was barely able to get to his feet. Despite his injuries, Adam was still clutching his broken blade, ready to fight.
Super Phoenix: "You should have worked for me as my knight."
Super Phoenix smugly stated as he walked towards the nearly dead Adam.
Adam: "Knight...? You would have made me your pawn..."
Adam bluntly said the only thing preventing him from yelling was the severe blow dealt to his head.
Super Phoenix: "Heh... You're right about that."
Super Phoenix said with a smirk before he walked to the injured Adam.
Despite his blade being snapped in half and his gun being nowhere near him, Adam still was ready to fight, holding his sword with a tight grip in both of his hands as Super Phoenix walked towards him.
Adam swung his sword at Super Phoenix, trying to take his head off as he attempted to do some many times before. Instead of dodging or catching it, Super Phoenix raised his right arm to block it, letting the blade dig an inch into his flesh before stopping.
Super Phoenix: "You're hardly worth the effort so I won't kill you."
Super Phoenix spoke as he brought both of his hands up to his temples, pointing at his head.
Super Phoenix: "Phoenix Madness Wave!"
He yelled as a psionic wave shot from his head towards Adam, putting him under Super Phoenix's trance.
Super Phoenix: "So how about you finish yourself off."
Adam: "Yes..."
Adam mindlessly brought his crimson sword to his own stomach and stabbed the broken edge of the blade through his torso as Super Phoenix watched.
Super Phoenix: "Don't bother crawling your way out of Hell or I'll be there to send you back."
Adam fell to his knees, dying almost instantly, and stayed there. Super Phoenix brought his leg up and kicked at Adam's head, making his body fall backwards before walking away without saying another word.
Results[]
K.O.
Kinnikuman Super Phoenix walks out of the warehouse as the Vale police arrive before leaping up and flying away.
Boomstick: Yeah that was rough, I'd feel bad for Adam if he wasn't a sadistic terrorist.
Wiz: As a match-up, it was very clear that these two were equally determined and ruthless enough to win, however, only one of them had the proper ability to capitalise on their opponent's weaknesses to win.
Boomstick: Yeah, Adam being able to fight on against Yang and Blake put him on a similar level to Maiden's who can make giant storms but that level of power isn't really enough to win.
Wiz: Kinnikuman managed to punch a sumo wrestler to the Moon so hard he broke a large piece off of it. In order to do so, this one punch would require power in the Petaton range. The difference between a Maiden's Terraton feat and Kinnikuman's Petaton feat is up to a trillion times, there was never any chance that Adam could harm Super Phoenix with any of his normal attacks. So that brings us to the Moonslice.
Boomstick: Yeah, you could argue that Adam could block enough attacks to make his Moonslice strong enough to kill Super Phoenix but A) it's very unlikely that Adam would avoid getting hit by all of Super Phoenix's attacks and B) Super Phoenix's best attacks are wrestling hold which lock the victim's arms, kinda hard to block with your sword when your arms are behind your back and your head his being planted into the concrete floor.
Wiz: And that's ignoring the fact that there's no proof that Adam's sword could withstand Petatons of force without breaking, Super Phoenix's intellect which allows him to accurately allows him to counter, block or dodge attacks and Super Phoenix's ability to react to and dodge light-speed attacks as opposed to Adam only being a lightning-timer.
Boomstick: Even if we say Adam could hit him with a full power Moonslice, Super Phoenix has been hit by those well above his weight like Omegaman Aristera and Ideaman who are 100 times stronger than Super Phoenix was, so at worst, the Moonslice would injure Super Phoenix and he'd get right back up since his taken far worse.
Wiz: And all of this without talking about the raw intelligence difference between the two...
Boomstick: Oh, God, he's talking about IQ again.
Wiz: Adam is a competent fighter but his ultimate move is a single predictable attack, meanwhile, Super Phoenix is able to calculate, down to the millimetre and degrees where to place his body to avoid taking damage, in the middle of a fight. This level of calmness is something that Adam couldn't ever hope to match, meaning that he would play directly into Super Phoenix's hands.
Boomstick: And sure Super Phoenix has flown off the handle before but that was during the final round against the man he hates the most and was the most important fight in his life, a street brawl against someone he doesn't even know the name of won't be as much of a mental strain.
Wiz: And even if Super Phoenix went nuts, it's not like Adam could survive a hit from Super Phoenix or his Face Flash. And there was a more likely chance that Adam would lose it in his rage when confronted with someone as smug as Super Phoenix looking down on him, making Adam even easier to predict.
Boomstick: But what about Aura, I know you're asking. Aura is all well and good but if someone with Aura gets hit by a strong enough attack, it'll break right then and there like when Adam cut through Yang's Aura with his Moonslice.
Wiz: And that's not even talking about how once Adam runs out of Aura, he's one punch away from being killed without a Semblance to even get in a good final hit.
Boomstick: Even if Adam had Aura strong enough to survive a punch or two from him, remember the time that Super Phoenix performed the Muscle Revenger on Ideaman and it bloodied his head even when protecting it by making his head as hard as diamonds? His moves are just too strong for Adam to deal with.
Wiz: And all of this is without talking about how Super Phoenix could just mind control Adam and win the fight as soon as possible. Super Phoenix was someone Adam had no answers to, there was no way for him to close the strength, speed, skill or intelligence gap with any of his abilities or weapons.
Boomstick: This fight was tough on poor Mad-am but I'm sure he'll get his Revenge after he's seen the light.
Wiz: The winner is Kinnikuman Super Phoenix.

- + Stronger
- + Faster

Trivia[]
Connections:
- Both Kinnikuman Super Phoenix and Adam Taurus are major antagonists who suffered through traumatic pasts that make them spiteful to the world around them, including and especially the main characters (Kinnikuman for "stealing" Super Phoenix's position as prince and Blake for "abandoning" Adam) with both Adam and Super Phoenix becoming worse and worse after being manipulated by another villain (Sienna for Adam and the God of Intelligence of Super Phoenix).
Original Track[]
The original track for this episode would be called "Black and White Revenge". The black and white part of the name comes from the colours of white and black which are tied heavily to Adam with his organisation being named the White Fang and the character Adam is associated with being Blake who has black as her primary colour. The revenge part comes from Kinnikuman Super Phoenix's signature technique, the Muscle Revenger as well as both Super Phoenix and Adam's aim to get revenge against those they feel have wronged them.
Q&A[]
Do you believe that non-Maidens scale to Maidens in terms of power?
- While I could understand why someone would be against it, I don't think it's the most out-there concept in terms of RWBY power scaling.
If you didn't believe it, how high would you scale Adam?
- A lot lower than he already is.
Would you want to see these characters fight in an actual crossover?
- Not really, even if it would lead to good character interactions.
How likely do you think this will become an actual Death Battle?
- Basically impossible, even if Adam didn't have more popular opponents.
