This is a What-If? Death Battle featuring Blake Belladonna from RWBY, and Mikasa Ackerman from Attack on Titan.

Description[]

RWBY vs Attack on Titan! Not all heroes wanted to be called to the battlefield, but even some will do what they must to protect the ones they care about. Using their Speed and High-tech blades who will win this fight? The huntress or titan slayer?

Interlude[]

Soul: When we normally think of heroes, we think of self-less heroes, saving the world and going to a happy ending.

Sun: While these two did originally not want to be heroes, they still fight, to protect the ones they care about. Using their high speed and blades to cut down anything that opposes them. Blake Belladonna, Ex-White Fang member, and Black Beast of team RWBY...

Soul: And Mikasa Ackerman, the red scarfed titan slayer of the scout regimen...

Sun: He's Soul and I'm Sun...

Soul: And it's our job to analyze their weapons armor and skills to find out who would win, a Fanon, Death Battle...

Blake Grapples into Death Battle[]

(Plays: From Shadows)

Soul: Born with no life, into segregation. Faunus are a breed of human that are known for being able to see in the dark, and for their animal like features ranging from a monkey tail to rabbit ears.

Sun: Normal people seemed to hate them for some reason calling them freaks and giving them less rights. And to stop this and declare equality one faunus named Adam Taurus decided to form a group called the White Fang and stop the racism with… Peaceful protests? But they did go on missions to protect other faunus from the dangers of racism by doing Mission Impossible style quests stealing and destroying tech to call their own. Until some bitch showed up killed a couple members forcing Adam to give into her demands.

Soul: Forced to murder and terrorism Adam’s lover rejected the Fang and ran away masking her faunus identity, with one goal, to bring the White Fang back to justice while showing that you shouldn’t judge someone by their race, but by their heart and her name is…

Sun: Martin Luther King Jr.!!! Oh.. wrong person, I mean Blake Belladonna. With goals as high as hers where was she supposed to learn how to surpass her former lover? Why Beacon of course, where learning how to murder monsters is easier that it is at other also awesome monster fighting schools.

Soul: Blake was later teamed up with team RWBY where she got to learn various team attacks, which are useless here due to not including outside help. But something we can talk about is her weapon, Gambol Shroud, which is kinda a cross between pistols, a whip, and sickles, which can be used both long and short ranged, and can also be used as a grappling device and a slingshot big and durable enough to fling people.

(Plays: I May Fall)

Sun: She also has her aura which can be used to heal minor damage, lead away fatal blows, and make her attacks deadlier. And she can also use her semblance to create shadow clones or make really awesome ice sculptures to fool the enemy. And the dust she carries helps her with that even more, with red dust causing her clones to be ticking time bombs, earth and ice to make spare clones to take a hit for her, and violet to completely obscure and darken everyone’s vision giving it the illusion that they are fighting in a dark area.

Soul: Being a faunus, Blake’s already enhanced senses are even stronger, and she also has the ability to see in the dark. Which only adds onto what we have mentioned before.

Sun: Despite these awesome abilities she has a few weaknesses, like the fact if she is too busy thinking about her enemies and their moves, she will neglect other responsibilities such as food, and sleep. Like Soul during his bingeplay of a Pokemon Fire Red Nuzlocke...

Soul: JOEY!

Sun: It was just a Ratatta stop whining...

Soul: While her aura is helpful, it comes at a cost, with the overuse of it can severely cripple her body making her unable to fight while having suffering pain. And can even be bypassed if caught off guard or something attacks her before she can react. But even these weaknesses do not affect the amazing accomplishments she has done. Like the time she survived getting impaled by Adam’s sword which cuts through aura, was able to pick up an armless Yang, and escape before Adam realized she left a clone in her place, dropped Yang off somewhere and ran off to go vacationing...

Sun: Well, if monkey boy hadn't gotten himself stabbed after ditching his team, it would be better...

Blake: “And we may never be ready! Our enemies aren't just going to sit around and wait for graduation day. They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not!”

Mikasa Maneuvers into Death Battle[]

(Cues: Guren no Yumiya)

Soul: Mikasa Ackerman, was raised inside the last walls of humanity. And while she was kept safe from the man slaughtering titans, she was not safe from... Human traffickers...

Sun: Well, this is already depressing... But after her parents were murdered, she was lucky that this really whiny kid named Eren just happened to be there and helped her escape her captors, by murdering them...

Soul: Left with nowhere else to go she was adopted by the Jeager family, raised alongside Eren, she vowed that she would protect him. Which was actually perfect timing because three years later the colossal titan attacked and knocked down the wall releasing titans into the wall. And after Eren watched his mother get brutally eaten, he vowed to kill all the titans and joined the military. And because she wanted to protect the idiot. She did as well, and quickly became top of her class.

Sun: Soon enough she was up killing Titans and soaking in their blood, all the while, saving Eren's giant Titan Shifting ass.

(Cues: Wings of Freedom)

Soul: In order to kill something as big as a titan, you need some good equipment to do so. So she uses Vertical Maneuvering Equipment, which shoots out wires with that dig into a surface and pull her towards it or pulling the thing towards her. Which easily allows her to move at speeds that are hard to track. And for attacking, she has multiple swords that can cut trough bone like it is tissue paper.

Sun: Yeah and being an Asian on this show means you get some really cool powers... And for Mikasa she is immune to memory manipulation and illusions.

Soul: Mikasa is a very strong woman, often referred to as equal in power to a hundred soldiers. As seen as a kid she was able to kill adults and easily beat up some boys twice her size that tried to harm Eren. And also she was the top of her class of a training program that is known to be deadly. Not to mention the reaction speeds she needs to pilot the Maneuvering Equipment.

Sun: She is so badass, that she killed multiple titans with ease, and almost killed 3 different titans, and can even keep up with the Female Titan, and Eren's Titan form the Rogue Titan. But even so, she still has some weaknesses.

Soul: Even though she is a Titan Slaying badass, she is still just human, and her emotions often get the better of her. And if her Maneuvering Equipment fails, it could seriously harm her.

Sun: So? She is a complete badass! And I would kill! To be anything like her.

Soul: Well... You have killed for less...

Mikasa: "Once I'm dead, I won't even be able to remember you. So I win, no matter what. I'll live, no matter what!"

Pre-FIGHT![]

Soul: All right, the combatants are set, let's settle this debate once and for all...

Sun: Its time, for a DEATH BATTLE!

Sign for Reluctant Heroes...[]

(Cues: Marco's Theme)

(Inside the Second Wall, Market Place, Noon)

Blake, was confused, but focusing on her target. Some portal opened up recently and a White Fang spy ran through it. Now she was in some area where there were multiple walls, and some of which, had these giants behind them or in them. Her target, trying to evade ran into a young adult, who looked like some sort of patroller, catching him off balance. Blake then runs into him, knocking him onto the ground, catching the eye of a young woman who seemed without a soul, chasing after Blake. Getting into a mostly secluded part of the town, with not many people around, in case the Titans attacked again. As Blake's target was running up the wall, Blake was doing the same until a wire tipped with a sharp metal point as the young woman, revealed to be Mikasa was flung towards it, eyeing Blake with killing intent and grabbing a blade. Blake, naturally did the same grabbed Gamble Shroud and got in a combat stance. Both charged at each other as a very well known theme strikes.

(Cues: Gurren No Yumiya, Jonathan Young Cover)

FIGHT![]

Mikasa makes the first move by firing a cable from her gear as it lands in front of her feet and at high speeds she is flung towards Blake as she slashes her multiple times, only for Blake to disappear instantly, an appear behind Mikasa as she kicks her a few times, then fires some Fire Dust at her knocking her towards the ground at blinding speeds.

Blake as her weapon change a bit and flings it at Mikasa while holding onto another part of it. The Titan slayer grabs opens her eyes, while slightly burnt and has the blocks the onslaught of slashes until Gamble Shroud is called back and then uses the gear to catch hold of the wall, and fling herself at Blake. Mikasa slashes again at the faunus only for her to jump back as the blade is now caught in an ice statue that looks like Blake.

(Cues: Shinzou wo Sasageyo)

Blake appears behind Mikasa, and as that happens Mikasa lets the gear loose grip of the wall and lets go of the blade, causing her to fall onto Blake. As both are falling, Blake has Gamble Shroud in it's blade form, and Mikasa grabs another blade. The two clash multiple times, metal against metal, blade against blade. As the ground approaches, Mikasa has her gear grab onto the wall, and prevent her from falling to her death as Blake hits the ground, making a small creator. Mikasa looks as if, she confidentially stands on the wall only to be surprised that Blake survived the fall, with little to no damage.

(cues: From Shadows Orchestral)

Blake takes this small amount of time to her advantage, grabbing Gamble Shroud and quickly firing Earth Dust at the Ice Statue causing it to fall and nearly on Mikasa, who narrowly avoids the blast, only for a shadow clone of Blake's to appear and rush towards her and explode, burning her again.

Mikasa then uses the enviroment to her own advantage as well, and fires one of the wires towards Blake who jumps, only to find the wire is coming back with a log at the other end, knocking Blake towards Mikasa. The Titan slayer clenches onto her blade swinging it at the huntress, only for Blake to block the attack with Gamble Shroud, breaking Mikasa's blade. she drops it and fires a wire at Blake, which impales her and brings her to Mikasa who swings a new blade at Blake. Blake narrowly manages to dodge the attack, but it slices her left arm, clean off.

(cues: Jiyuu no Tsubasa)

Blake kneels to the ground in pain dropping her weapon and clenching the stub that was her arm as Mikasa raises her blade for the kill. She swings it down, only to be caught in a new ice statue, jumping back and having her gear grip to multiple places to keep her out of reach. But before she can move again, some earth dust hits the gear resulting in heavy damage to it, causing cords to fire all over the place tangling Mikasa in them as Blake stands with blood dripping from her stub, and a new scar on her face. Mikasa desperate to get out of her vulnerable position had the cords retract and as the did so, with Mikasa tangled between them, they started to cut through her skin.

(cues: Reluctant Heroes)

The wires retracting were ripping through her body shredding her to pieces while covering her in her own blood. And as she was dying she remembered all the times she had with the person she swore to protect. At her dying breath she muttered “Eren…” and then passed onto the next life as her bloodied and mangled corpse falls to the ground.

K.O![]

  • Blake walks off, stopping the bleeding from where her left arm once was by holding some of one of the ice statues to it
  • Mikasa's mangled body and bloodied face lays in a giant pool of blood until it is stepped on by a titan looking for food

Results[]

(cues: Let's Just Live)

Sun: Damn... Brutal even for Attack on Titan.

Soul: Mikasa's Maneuver Gear gave her a huge edge in this fight, letting her have mobility, speed, and reaction speeds all at one time, and her ability to see through most of Blake's shadow clones gave her a huge edge in this fight. But even so her normal speeds without the gear still do not match up to Blake.

Sun: Not to mention ice dust would give Mikasa a serious problem, considering it could take away one of Mikasa's only means of combat. And while the Titans are more dangerous than most Grimm, Mikasa only really has to fight one or two, while Blake fights large groups of Grimm at a time and has less damage.

Soul: The biggest thing pushing this fight in Blake's favor, is the very thing that Mikasa is heavily relying on. Damage the gear and it takes away all of Mikasa advantages or it could even kill her.

Sun: I guess Mikasa's loss was Titanic...

Soul: The Winner is Blake.

Interlude[]

(*Cues: Wiz & Boomstick - Brandon Yates*)

Wiz: Born to shunned races and forced to fight for themselves and others, these two have fought through all their suffering to prove themselves capable of holding off world-ending threats, all in the name of the ones they love.

Boomstick: Blake Belladonna, the Grimm-killing member of Team RWBY.

Wiz: And Mikasa Ackerman, the Titan-slaying member of the Survey Corps.

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

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.

Blake Belladonna[]

(*Cues: From Shadows - RWBY: Volume 1*)

Wiz: At first glance, the world of Remnant appears to be a happy, light-hearted place. But take a closer look, and you’ll see that beneath every light, there is always a shadow. And perhaps the biggest shadow cast in this world belongs to the Faunus.

Boomstick: Faunus live in Remnant alongside humans, and for the most part, they seem similar enough. The one big difference, though, is that people who are born Faunus are part human, part animal. You’d think having something as small as a scorpion tail or rabbit ears would be fine, maybe even kind of cool, right? Well, not exactly.

Wiz: The Faunus were subject to extreme discrimination, often feared or made fun of for the traits that made them unique in the first place.

Boomstick: Yep, even in a world inspired by fairy tales, people are still racist jerks. But of course, every fairy tale also needs a hero, or in this case, a heroine.

Wiz: Blake Belladonna was a very passionate freedom fighter, working alongside the prominent Faunus activist group called the White Fang. At first, the group was a civil one, usually having peaceful protests. However, after a while, their protests started growing a bit more violent.

Boomstick: Yeah, see, the White Fang’s leader Adam Taurus was a pretty cool guy at first, but soon he started turning the White Fang into a terrorist organization, after he started believing in the old Magneto philosophy of “Humans don’t deserve the world, our race is superior!” And being a young impressionable cat-girl herself, she believed every word of it, and soon ran away from home, fully joining them.

Wiz: Of course, Blake had no clue about what was really going on with Adam and the organization. She isn’t exactly dumb, she was just young and naïve, believing that what she was doing was the right thing to do.

Boomstick: That's right, Blake fell victim to one of her world's most popular influencers. As if they weren't evil enough already! But hey, it’s not all bad. Now that she was on her own, she could literally fight for what she believed in. And she had the perfect weapon to do it, too!

Wiz: Blake’s signature weapon is known as Gambol Shroud. While it may appear to be a simple weapon on paper, this is more than just a sword and sheath. Housed within Gambol Shroud is a ribbon that stretches ninety-six meters wide, or just over three hundred feet. With this ribbon, Blake can use it as a sort of grappling hook to pull herself up, or to swing around the battlefield with ease.

Boomstick: But this isn’t just a defensive weapon. Besides swinging around for mobility, she can also use the blade part with the ribbon, giving this thing even more range. It’s like she’s performing yo-yo tricks, but with a sword! But you know, with how she’s able to swing around like that, you’d think her Faunus trait was a monkey tail, kinda like that Sun Wukong kid, right? Nope! Instead, she’s a cat Faunus, which means she’s got cute little kitty ears!

Wiz: Those ears aren’t just for show. As a cat Faunus, Blake has superhuman strength, speed, and endurance, as well as unique Faunus abilities, such as night vision and hearing abilities on par with regular cats. She has also unlocked her aura, or the manifestation of her soul, which acts as a sort of shield that she can use to block attacks or reduce damage, sort of like a healing factor. These extra powers really help her put Gambol Shroud to good use, whether she’s using it as a sword, a grappling hook, or a gun.

Boomstick: Because it wouldn’t be a RWBY weapon if it wasn’t also a gun. But if her sword or a simple gunshot blast won’t do the trick, she’s also got dust to kick things up a notch! Wait a minute, dust? Like, the stuff that gets everywhere and makes you sneeze?

Wiz: No, not exactly. This kind of dust is an energy source that Blake can use in combination with the most important of her aura abilities: Her Semblance.

Boomstick: Oh yeah, her own personal superpower!

Wiz: Right. In Blake’s case, her semblance, known as Shadow, allows her to create copies of herself as a means of evading hits. She can infuse dust into the copies, in order to give them additional effects.

Boomstick: She’s got a bunch of different kinds of dust she can use. Take the Fire Dust, which turns her shadow into a mini bomb, or the Ice Dust, which turns it into an ice sculpture that can trap opponents, or even the Earth Dust, which pulls a Medusa and turns her shadow into a stone statue, which she can use as a cover.

Wiz: While her Semblance is a very useful power for evading hits, it does have a downside. If Blake runs out of aura, then she’ll be unable to use her Semblance, leaving her somewhat exposed.

Boomstick: But luckily for our feline friend here, she’s got another technique she can use, one she’s nearly perfected: Running away! She’s so good at it, it’s the very reason why she got her semblance! Lucky girl, all I get whenever I run anywhere is a footsore and a jammed leg.

Wiz: I’m surprised you’re able to even run with a shotgun leg. But unlike you, Blake’s running actually had a personal reason behind it.

(*Cues: Nevermore - RWBY: Volume 6*)

Wiz: After she learned of Adam’s terrorist plans, Blake was horrified, and broke things off with him. Abandoning the White Fang, she ran away once again, this time with no purpose or direction for her life.

Boomstick: Until she found Beacon Academy, where she trained to become a huntress alongside the other members of her new team, Team RWBY, fighting alongside Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long, a brawlin’ blonde bombshell that Blake definitely gets along better with, if you know what I mean.

Wiz: As the literal B in team RWBY, Blake has more than proven herself worthy of being called a huntress. She’s fast enough to keep up with the likes of Mercury and Emerald, and she and Sun have even dodged lightning attacks from the Sea Feilong Grimm. Given Blake and Sun’s heights and the distance the lightning bolt would have to cover, Blake would have to be moving around a speed of Mach 11 in order to dodge it.

Boomstick: Damn, running away really is her superpower! But she’s not just fast, she’s also pretty strong, able to slice through armored foot soldiers like butter, even without her Beacon training. She’s also defeated that very same Feilong Grimm, Roman Torchwick, and her old ex-boyfriend Adam, after double teaming him with her new partner.

Wiz: Impressive, considering that Adam’s Moonslice can, well... slice right through this spider droid, a feat comparable to around four tons of TNT. Not to mention, she’s also survived the very train crash that Adam had caused, which comes out to nearly seven tons of TNT.

Boomstick: She's definitely proven herself to be a badass fighter, but she's not exactly invincible. For how awesome of a weapon Gambol Shroud is, it’s definitely not foolproof, and while it can take a lot of hits before breaking, the blade can still be broken pretty easily. But if that ribbon gets cut, there go her Spider-Man swinging powers.

Wiz: In addition, her aura has limits. If she exhausts her entire supply, her semblance will be cut off from her, and she'll be left vulnerable. But despite all of her hardships, she hasn’t let any of them bring her down. With her new friends and family at her side and her past ditched alongside her signature cat ear hiding bow, Blake Belladonna will continue fighting for what she believes in: A world where humans and Faunus can live together, in peace. A literal Fairy Tale ending.

Blake: There's too much wrong in this world to just stand by and do nothing. Inequality, corruption... Someone has to stop it.

Mikasa Ackerman[]

(*Cues: Wings of Freedom (Instrumental) – Attack on Titan Season 2*)

Boomstick: Behold, the district of Shiganshina! A southern town in the world of Attack on Titan that looks like it’s constantly holding a medieval festival.

Wiz: Long ago, humans peacefully lived within this city, including a young girl named Mikasa Ackerman, who led a happy life with her family. But of course, her blissful times would not last for long, as a violent battle would soon take place.

Boomstick: Yeah, see, Mikasa and her family were actually some of the last descendants of the Shogun clan, and they were hoping to live out their days in some kind of peace. But when you’re the last of your kind, you’re probably going to have some problems keeping a low profile.

(*Cues: Titan's Attack - Attack on Titan Season 1*)

Wiz: Unfortunately, Mikasa and her family were soon tracked down and attacked by human traffickers, hoping to kidnap the nine-year-old Mikasa and sell her on the human-trading market. Yes, even in anime, people still treat others as property.

Boomstick: And if you think that’s messed up, we’re just getting started! You see, in order to get to Mikasa, they had to make sure there weren’t any witnesses, so the three robbers killed Mikasa’s parents. Unsurprisingly, things looked pretty bad for her.

Wiz: Thankfully, help would soon arrive, in the form of a young boy named Eren Jaeger, who assisted Mikasa by... murdering some of her captors right in front of her.

Boomstick: Jesus, even if her parents survived, she’d still have a fucked-up childhood! But when Eren was attacked by the third robber, Mikasa finally fought back, and saved Eren.

Wiz: With the two finally safe, Mikasa was soon adopted into Eren’s family, and was given not only his scarf and a new home, but also an important lesson: When life tries to fight you, you fight back.

Boomstick: Hell yeah! Finally, some useful advice! And soon, things were back to normal, and all the districts were living peacefully again.

Wiz: Peacefully, until another fight began. But this time, it wasn’t just a battle, it was an all-out war.

Boomstick: But instead of it being the districts fighting each other like an anime version of The Hunger Games, they’d actually be working together, in order to fight a much bigger threat: The Titans. You know, the things that drove humanity to live in the cities behind these walls in the first place?

Wiz: While Titans were never able to break through the wall before, they persisted nevertheless, in order to satiate their hunger for humans. However, in the year 845, the lives of everyone in the Shiganshina District changed when the Colossus Titan finally managed to break through the wall Maria.

Boomstick: Damn, they didn’t just build the wall, they gave it a name and everything! Should’ve gone with a more threatening name than Maria, though, because as far as I know, being related to a Maria usually doesn’t end up going well.

Wiz: That couldn’t be truer, in this case. Once the Colossus Titan broke through the wall, it was every man – or woman – for themselves, with everyone fighting to stay alive, Mikasa included. After living most of her life hiding in fear, she was ready to face the world. The meek Mikasa was gone, and in her place stood the brave and powerful Mikasa Ackerman.

(*Cues: Linked Horizon - Attack on Titan Season 1*)

Boomstick: Naturally, with there being huge ass Titans on the loose, Mikasa knew she needed to take action and fight back against them, so she and Eren joined the military. But take it from me, simple guns wouldn’t be enough to kill giant beasts like these, let alone harm them, so she got herself something more suited to the job: Her vertical maneuvering equipment, or VME.

Wiz: Also known as the Omni-directional Mobility Gear, the Vertical Maneuvering Equipment is a special harness that Mikasa wears in order to face off against the titans. It comes with two iron hooks, each about twenty to thirty feet long, which can attach to any surface, and then igniting the gas mechanism to reel themselves in, sort of like a reverse fishing pole. These tools would be essential for fighting the Titans, as they provided the speed to evade and strike them down.

Boomstick: But Mikasa wouldn’t be a titan-slayer if she didn’t have the tools to take them down, which she totally does! She’s armed with a dozen awesome disposable swords, made of ultrahard steel! You might think “So what, Boomstick? All swords are made of steel.” But you won’t be thinking that when I tell you that these are the only kinds of swords that can even harm a titan, let alone slash through their freakin’ necks! They were perfect for the job! Well, until the other kinds of Titans started showing up.

Wiz: Specifically, these new titans were dubbed Armored Titans. These swords weren’t enough anymore, so Mikasa got another upgrade to her arsenal: The Thunder Spears. A sort of combination between a javelin and a grenade, these were weapons developed specifically for piercing the armor of these new giants. After the spear is thrown and makes contact with the target, the fuse is removed, causing an explosion that blasts away anything in range.

Boomstick: I think I just found the new nickname for my dick! And piercing an Armored Titan like that is no joke, since it’s that exact kind of Titan that broke through the wall Maria in the first place! And she’s got eight of them! Good thing Mikasa’s a trusted soldier, since the government was kinda secretive about making these things.

Wiz: But it turns out, Mikasa may have been even better at keeping secrets than them, because she housed one more tool up her sleeve: her Ackerman blood.

Boomstick: Yeah, remember when Mikasa got held hostage by kidnappers all that time ago and saw lots of the regular kind of blood? Well, the Ackerman blood’s a bit different than that.

Wiz: Ages ago, long before the idea of Titans was even in anyone’s minds, the Ackerman Clan were the accidental result of science experiments done to engineer soldiers for the king of the Eldia nation. While normally subsided, when these powers are awakened, the carrier is granted a set of enhanced abilities.

Boomstick: While I normally object to you doin’ any of that crazy science shit on me, I’d probably make an exception if it gave me the same level of power as the Titans themselves!

Wiz: Well, it’s not quite the same level of power, but it does give Mikasa enhanced strength, speed, and the ability to channel Ackermans of the past, drawing from their experience to use in battle, which would certainly come in handy once Eren discovered that he could turn into a Titan himself.

Boomstick: Go figure, the one guy you think you can rely on turns out to be just another one of the same wall-smashing, family murdering assholes.

Wiz: The truth crushed Mikasa, who had devoted her life to Eren, even going so far as to joining the military with him, just to protect him. With Eren now taking fire from both sides, Mikasa had no choice but to protect him. Thankfully for the both of them, she’s more than equipped for the job. She can evade fire from a Titan’s crossbow and keep up with Levi Ackerman, who can dodge point blank gunfire. She's also survived the grip of another Titan, and has enough strength to constantly hold back Eren, even with broken ribs.

Boomstick: And have we mentioned that she kills goddamn giant titans? Hell, she’s so badass, she straight up launched one of her Thunder Spears into a Titan’s mouth! Suck on that!

Wiz: As ruthless as she may be, she’s not without weaknesses. Aside from her obsession with keeping Eren’s well-being prioritized above her own, she does have a limit on how many swords and spears she can have at a time. Once she runs out, she’s wide open.

Boomstick: But still, she’s a hardened soldier of war, and even without her swords or spears, she’ll never miss the chance to bring down anyone who gets in her way, even if it means killing the ones that she loves to get the job done. If I were a Titan, I’d think twice before messing with someone like Mikasa Ackerman.

Mikasa: There are only so many lives I can value. And I decided who those people were six years ago. So you shouldn’t try to ask for my pity. Because right now, I don’t have time to spare or room in my heart.

Death Battle[]

Outside of an abandoned, somewhat destroyed city, Blake is seen defeating some nearby Beowulf Grimm, using Gambol Shroud as both a gun and a sword. Once the group of Grimm is seemingly defeated, she rests, looking around the now seemingly empty town to make sure that they were all defeated.

Blake: Looks like that’s the last of them.

She says, before feeling the presence of another Beowulf. Just as it lunges at her from atop a ledge and she turns to see it, a figure zooms between the Faunus and the Beowulf, slicing its head off and catching her by surprise.

Blake: Wh-What the-?

Blake turns to see the mysterious figure as it slides to a halt, her sword dragging behind her on the ground. She turns to reveal herself to the huntress as the Grimm’s body and severed head begin to fade away.

Mikasa: You can’t let your guard down. Bigger threats than these things are coming soon.

The figure says, before fully revealing herself to Blake as Mikasa Ackerman, Titan Hunter extraordinaire.

Mikasa: Leave, for your own safety.

Blake, undeterred, brings out Gambol Shroud as a sword again.

Blake: Thanks for the concern, but I can handle things here just fine by myself.

Mikasa, now showing a bit of anger, takes a couple of steps towards Blake.

Mikasa: Did you not understand me? This city isn’t safe for people anymore, you need to leave!

When Blake still refuses, Mikasa draws one of her swords, glaring at the huntress.

(*Cues: Titanic Shadows – Brandon Yates*)

Mikasa: Don’t make me say it again.

Blake, now irritated at Mikasa’s demeanor, arms herself for battle, gripping Gambol Shroud tightly as the winds begin to blow.

Blake: I told you, I can take care of myself, no matter how big the threat. And right now, the only threat I see around here is you.

FIGHT!

Mikasa, now fully enraged that Blake still refuses to leave, charges forward with her VME, causing the two swords to clash. Unfazed, Mikasa now begins to swing around with her VME, coming at Blake from multiple angles. Blake manages to parry the attacks one after another, but soon gets staggered. The Faunus then begins to utilize her semblance, in an attempt to confuse Mikasa. As the huntress closes in from the side, her sword slashes through the Shadow, and as it vanishes, Blake closes the distance between them, now on the offensive.

The two continue to slash swords, matching each other’s attacks blow for blow, with Mikasa using the VME to maneuver around the battlefield, and Blake using her shadows to avoid damage. The two swords soon culminate in a clash, neither side giving an inch.

Mikasa: Alright, maybe you’ve got a bit of fight in you still.

She says, before winning the clash and sending Blake flying backward with a kick, the Faunus skidding to a stop.

Mikasa: But that won’t help you against me!

The titan huntress charges forward again, seeing a chance to finally catch her opponent. Seeing this, Blake waits for the right moment, before maneuvering out of the way, and leaving a fire shadow Fire Dust clone in its place. The mini explosion causes Mikasa to be blown onto the rooftop of a small building, landing with a thud. Mikasa stands, bruised, though not fatally.

Mikasa: Those clones of hers… my swords just go right through them!

She realizes, before hearing the sound of Gambol Shroud attaching itself to the roof of the building, in its grapple hook form. Blake then swings on the roof of the building, the two hunters only a small distance apart from each other.

Blake: Only a bit of fight left? I’m just getting started!

Blake then switches Gambol Shroud to the gun form, firing bullets at the Survey Corp member, but Mikasa deflects each of the projectiles, before launching her VME once again, trying to keep her distance from the cat Faunus. Thus begins another clash of swords, as the two female hunters swing through the abandoned city, matching each other with every swing, every slash, every strike, before coming to a standstill yet again in a nearby clearing. Dust clouds have been kicked up as the two warriors skid to a halt, the wind blowing them to the side and their shoes kicking some nearby pebbles out of the way.

As the two stare each other down, waiting for the other to make a move, they suddenly hear a noise. But it’s more than just a noise – it was a large, demonic-sounding screech, followed by a booming thudding noise, one powerful enough to shake the nearby buildings. Surprised, the girls look off to the side, only to discover what they weren’t expecting: The monsters had arrived early. A Nevermore Grimm, flying high in the sky, along with several more Beowulf Grimm, and to top it off, an enormous Armored Titan, nearly three times as tall as the average building in the area.

Furious, Mikasa turns to Blake again, the rage in her eyes imminent.

Mikasa: Now, do you see? I told you that more dangerous enemies were on the way! You’ve been busy fighting me when you should have been preparing yourself for their arrival instead!

Blake, now just as frustrated as Mikasa, attempts to defend herself.

Blake: Me? If I remember, you were the one who pulled a weapon on me! What choice did I have? And I’ve told you, I can handle the situation here...

She then readies Gambol Shroud once again, while also using Shadow+ to create two clones of herself.

Blake: ...No matter the size.

As Blake charges forward with her clones, Mikasa gazes up at the Titan, as well as the newer, darker enemies. She then notices a small collection of Thunder Spears. Without missing a beat, she grabs the explosive weapons, before swinging back into the battle alongside Blake.

The enemy group, which consists of around fifty different Beowulf Grimm, charges forward, but Blake and her clones make their way through the crowd. One of them focuses on aerial mobility, attempting to use aerial strikes to inflict damage on the Nevermore through swinging on the nearby broken columns, while the other two form a tag team to take down the various Beowulf, with one using the gun part of Gambol Shroud, and the other using the sword. All the while, the Faunus huntress and the Titan Huntress occasionally trade blows, going back and forth quickly changing between fighting the monsters and each other. Eventually, the clones are defeated, and the horde of Grimm is mostly cleared out, save for a few stragglers running away, leaving just the Titan and the Nevermore. As it lets out a loud screech, the two combatants give each other a look, before silently nodding in agreement.

Using the ribbon and VME respectively, Blake and Mikasa begin to maneuver around the Titan and the destroyed area it now stands over, with it still lumbering around, seemingly looking for the two girls. With the two of them now standing atop granite columns, they begin their assault. Mikasa launches herself straight forward, with Blake following behind. As the Nevermore swoops down to try and attack, Blake uses her momentum to swing up to the airborne Grimm, her ribbon outstretched. Meanwhile, just as the Titan begins to reach for Mikasa, she uses the VME to dodge out of the way at the last second, causing him to crash into a nearby cliff. Reaching onto her back for a Thunder Spear, Mikasa launches it directly into the back of the Titan’s neck.

As it is launched towards the target, Blake wraps her ribbon around the Nevermore’s neck, steering it into the cliff and crashing just above the Titan. She then jumps from the bird and lands on the ground, with dirt and debris blowing past her, as Mikasa pulls the cord out of the Thunder Spear, resulting in a massive explosion that takes care of both enemies. Blake watches the explosion, glad that the enemies have been taken care of, only to hear Mikasa charging forward again, causing her to have to dodge. In the process of dodging, the wind knocks the bow off her head, revealing her cat ears. This startles Mikasa, whose eyes widen upon seeing her unique feature.

Mikasa: You’re... You’re just another beast!

With her anger and energy nearly completely refueled, she begins yet another assault on Blake, who tries to parry her swings and strikes, before attempting to flee. Mikasa, not about to let another threat to Eren escape, reaches for another Thunder Spear, sending it flying in front of the Faunus, before pulling the cord, causing another explosion that sends her flying. Blake stands up, having been seemingly fatally injured by the blast.

Mikasa: Now I’ve got you!

She exclaims, before charging forward again with the last of her swords, landing quite a few cuts and scrapes on Blake. The Titan hunter attempts to land a fatal blow, but Blake uses Shadow to dodge once again. And so, a game of cat and mouse begins, with Mikasa attempting to land her attacks, and the shadows continuously absorbing the blows. Frustrated, she launches her VME to try and keep up with Blake. Meanwhile, Blake begins to utilize her acrobatics in addition to Shadow to dodge the different strikes heading her way. However, this causes her aura to quickly begin depleting, leaving her with little to work with. Looking around frantically, she sees Mikasa closing in and braces herself. Seizing the opportunity, the titan huntress charges forward and plunges her sword directly into her midsection. However, when she opens her eyes, she sees that she has not finally killed her opponent, but instead, her sword has gone straight through an ice sculpture, trapping her.

Mikasa: Nnngh... Come on... Come on!

Mikasa attempts to pull the sword from her icy prison, but it’s too late. The former White Fang member has managed to escape Mikasa’s wrath. She soon grips Gambol Shroud and dashes forward, landing a critical hit, stabbing Mikasa through the back and destroying the ice statue. As Blake pulls the sword out of her, Mikasa soon drops her sword and VME, before collapsing to the ground, first on her knees, then completely face down, as Blake stands overtop of her.

Blake: You were a strong warrior. I’m sorry.

The black cat huntress says, somewhat mournful for the fight having come to this. However, as she hears the roar of more monsters, she looks down at her fallen foe and nods.

Blake: Your death will not be in vain!

She exclaims, before arming herself with Gambol Shroud as a sword and dashing off, ready to face whatever challenge comes next.

KO!

Results[]

(*Cues: Trust Love – RWBY: Volume 7*)

Boomstick: You know, that death seems pretty familiar. I can’t figure out why, though...

Wiz: With her ODM, thunder spears, and amazing tenacity, Mikasa was certainly a tough opponent for her feline foe. However, more times than not, Blake ends up taking the win. With the Vertical Maneuvering Equipment, Mikasa could certainly keep up with Blake, allowing her to get in close with her swords.

Boomstick: But landing a hit would be a different story. With her Semblance, Blake could dodge any incoming attacks, and when combined with dust, it’d be even more difficult for Mikasa to get a hit in. And because she really only has those fragile swords as weapons, this leaves Mikasa without a lot of ways to deal lasting damage. Especially since Blake’s Aura acted as a shield, reducing or blocking damage dealt to her.

Wiz: In contrast, Blake had the edge with Gambol Shroud, which could switch forms whenever Blake needed to, in order to keep Mikasa on her toes. And her ribbon allowed her to have better mobility and control of the battlefield. While Mikasa’s ODM gear could reach twenty to thirty feet in front of her, Blake’s ribbon could stretch to over ten times that, at around 314 feet. Even if the ribbon were to be cut in half, it would still be more than enough to swing circles around the titan huntress.

Boomstick: Of course, the aura can’t protect her from everything, especially those mega-grenades called Thunder Spears. Yeah, Blake’s aura has tanked a hit from a Nevermore, coming out to around four tons of TNT, but the thunder spears could dish out over four times that amount, at eighteen tons, which would be more than enough to destroy her aura. Assuming she could hit her, of course.

Wiz: While Mikasa has managed to dodge Levi’s automatic gunfire, coming out to nearly Mach 2, Blake has managed to dodge lightning from the Sea Feilong, and has kept up with Mercury and Emerald, who are even faster than that. This means, at minimum, Blake would be five and a half times faster than Mikasa.

Boomstick: Who would’ve guessed all that running away would really come in handy here? Plus, Mikasa’s never really had to fight against someone like Blake before. In battle, she’s usually fighting alongside her agile teammates, and while she can keep up with them pretty well, she’s never had to keep up with someone as fast as Blake, regardless of whether or not she’s in a fight. And those thunder spears, while definitely badass, aren’t exactly the best weapons for fighting someone like her. They were designed to fight big, lumbering titans, not small, agile catgirls.

Wiz: And relying on her Ackerman blood wouldn’t have been much help, either. Yes, it gave her boosted stats and more experience, but the gap was just too wide to close, and the experience was also all against Titans, so relying on it in battle wasn’t going to provide much assistance. Thus, it was only a matter of time before Mikasa ran out of weapons, or until Blake landed the killing blow. Mikasa’s tenacity may have kept her in the fight, but Blake’s superior speed, more reliable weaponry, and better versatility secured her a victory.

Boomstick: Well, you know what they say: Mikasa is soon in a casket. I think that's how the saying goes, at least.

Wiz: The winner is Blake Belladonna.
