Big’s Note: This Battle Royale is a project created by the staff team to help celebrate the Death Battle Fanon Wiki’s 10 year anniversary in August 2023. We hope that the community enjoys it!
Description (Big)[]
Dragon Ball VS DC VS SEGA VS Homestuck VS Transformers VS Nintendo VS Naruto! The DBF Staff Team’s favourite characters collide in a battle of epic proportions! Only one will come out on top!
Interlude[]
Wiz: The Death Battle Fanon Wiki. A site where fans of this beloved show can create What-If? battle scenarios with characters from a variety of different franchises.
Boomstick: This site is overseen by a close-knit team of staff who maintain the wiki and help support its community. To help mark the site’s 10 year anniversary, we will be celebrating this milestone in true Death Battle style, by pitting the staff team’s favourite characters against each other in an all out Battle Royale! Hell yeah!
Wiz: Beerus, Universe 7’s God of Destruction.
Boomstick: Superman, the Man of Steel.
Wiz: Classic Sonic, the Blue Blur.
Boomstick: Dave Strider, the Knight of Time.
Wiz: Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots.
Boomstick: Shadow the Hedgehog, the Ultimate Lifeform.
Wiz: Bowser, the King of the Koopas.
Boomstick: King Dedede, the ruler of Dreamland.
Wiz: And Madara Uchiha, ghost of the Uchiha clan.
Boomstick: He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick!
Wiz: And it’s our job to analyse their weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win…a DEATH BATTLE!
Beerus (Big)[]
Superman (Taser)[]
Boomstick: A long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was a planet very similar to ours called Krypton!
Wiz: Underneath the flourishing society there was a major fault with this seemingly utopian world it was in fact dying and was set to explode, threatening to make Kryptonians entirely extinct. A great scientist by the name of Jor-El became aware of this and tried to warn of this fate…however Kryptonian society was stubborn and he was ignored and deemed as a paranoid fool.
Boomstick: God that’s so unrealistic! Imagine a society that completely ignores the opinions of scientists even when the consequences are the complete destruction of their species. Like c’mon that would never happen!
Wiz: And who says this story is outdated? Anyway, Jor-El may not have been able to save the rest of his species he could still save one of them, his infant son Kal-El. He put his child into a rocket and sent into the infinite safety of space. Saving him from the predicted explosion of Krypton.
Boomstick: So little baby Kal-El eventually landed on this shithole planet that we call Earth; Where he was found by the kindest couple on the planet, John and Martha Kent. While most people if they found a baby that was inside a rocket they would probably just call the cops and leave, The Kents however took the boy in as their own son and gave him his new name of Clark.
Wiz: WIP!
Classic Sonic (Speedy)[]
Wiz: On the planet known as Mobius, there lived many anthropomorphic animals and even some regular ones that lived in peace. However, it would soon be attacked by the mad scientist Dr Robotnik or as he is called nowadays, Dr Eggman.
Boomstick: His goal was to have the world under his control by using a bunch of small critters to run his machines.
Wiz: It wouldn’t be so easy for Eggman as he would soon find that his arch-nemesis is a small blue hedgehog that could run faster than the speed of sound. Boomstick: The blue hedgehog in question was none other than the one and only Sonic the Hedgehog.
Wiz: Although the Sonic we're talking about is the first ever alliteration of Sega's iconic blue blur, best known as Classic Sonic.
Boomstick: It’s Sonic but smaller and younger. Totally a big difference.
Wiz: Classic Sonic may have a few differences when compared to his modern self but he’s still an incredible fighter.
Boomstick: Sonic will always be there to protect the little animals and stop Robotnik...or Eggman...what do we call this version of Eggman exactly?
Wiz: Well considering this is from a period of time where he never adapted to the name Eggman it’s best to address the past version as Robotnik.
Boomstick: Alrighty. As I was saying, Sonic will always be there to protect the little animals and stop Robotnik from taking the world into his hands especially if he ever gets ahold of the Chaos Emeralds.
W.I.P
Dave Strider (Wither)[]
Optimus Prime (Hopping)[]
Shadow the Hedgehog (Mewtwo)[]
Wiz: Behold the Space Colony ARK, a massive research station slash doomsday weapon that orbits around the planet Mobius.
Boomstick: Sounds like the perfect nerd getaway for nerds to do all their nerd things while leaving the simpletons behind. You can’t help but wonder what cute science experiments and D&D nights were happening up there.
Wiz: It’s not what you’re thinking, although a D&D in space sounds amazing. The primary purpose of the ARK was to create the Ultimate Lifeform whose genetics could provide the secrets to immortality and cure many diseases plaguing the world. Something that greatly interested the head scientist Professor Gerald Robotnik who needed those very genetics to cure his terminally ill granddaughter Maria.
Boomstick: So Gerry put all his smarts into making that Ultimate Lifeform and after years of research, and re-inventing a dinosaur, he finally figured out the blueprint for his masterpiece which he named: Shadow the Hedgehog. Ok did name him that because he was expecting his child to go through an emo phase or was he listening to too much Crush 40?
Wiz: Who knows, but unfortunately even with the ARK’s highly advanced technology, Gerald lacked the proper materials to perfect Shadow, that is until he came across an alien race known as the Black Arms and their leader Black Doom. Forming a deal behind the scenes, Black Doom provided his DNA to give life to Shadow in exchange that he and Gerald would help him in a plot to conquer the world.
Boomstick: Seems like a fair trade, and for what it’s worth that alien DNA did make Shadow the immortal disease killing edgelord they were looking for. And for a literal lab rat, Shadow’s life was pretty sweet since he got to spend it with his sisterly figure Maria. But sadly, world-threatening pacts with aliens is a serious red flag with the government who, upon finding out, sent their soldiers up into space to shut down the project by any means necessary. And I do mean ANY means.
Wiz: Everyone Shadow knew got imprisoned or executed, and he watched Maria get shot to death right in front of him before he was sealed away. Fifty years later, Gerald’s grandson Dr. Eggman would find and reawaken Shadow who had become filled with rage and a vendetta against all humanity.
Boomstick: Which worked out perfectly for Eggman since he happened to be the leading figure in the supervillain industry and coincidentally had a hedgehog problem named Sonic. So what better way to take out a hedgehog than with one of your very own. And sure Sonic might be cool, but he can’t stack up to Shadow because he’s the coolest.
Wiz: Thanks to his hedgehog genes, Shadow possesses nearly unrivaled speed putting him on par with Sonic himself. You know, the guy who is considered the fastest thing alive? And because of this, Shadow can utilize similar abilities to Sonic such as the Spin Dash where he charges up energy to propel himself with a huge burst of speed.
Popup: Sonic once briefly outran the pull of a singularity putting his top speed at over Mach 260,000. As Shadow can consistently keep up with Sonic, his natural speed should be roughly the same.
Boomstick: He can also lock onto target with the Homing Attack, trap enemies in the Black Tornado, and after absorbing some Ancient Light he can blitz enemies with the Light Speed Attack which, surprise, lets Shadow move at light speed. That’s not the only power-up Shadow has collected either because he also has roller skates.
Wiz: They’re Air Shoes, and he can use them to boost his speed and briefly hover in air. Shadow also has a Flame Ring that adds fire to his attacks, the Heat Barrier that protects him from foes while simultaneously damaging them, the Black Sword that is bada$$ in both name and design, power-ups that temporarily boost speed and make him invincible, and-
Boomstick: Guns, lots and lots of guns. Because when you genetically engineer an edgelord, you might as well go all in and arm him too. And Shadow has more guns than what the Matrix weapons room can offer. He’s got the basic pistols, machine guns, gatling guns, grenade launchers, RPGs, bazookas, frickin cannons that were ripped off tanks-
Wiz: Don’t forget his laser-based weaponry like the Refractor and the Spli-
Boomstick: THE SPLITTER which fires lasers that bounce off walls.
Wiz: Not to mention the s-
Boomstick: THE SATELLITE GUN that summons giant lasers from the sky!
Wiz: WILL YOU PLEASE LET ME COVER ONE OF THE GUNS!?
Boomstick: NO! They’re all too glorious! I must cover every last one of them! I need this, Wiz!
Wiz: What about the Heal Cannon?
Boomstick: F*ck the Heal Cannon, it’s a stupid weapon! Unlike the Ring Shot that fires laser circles of death, the alien vacuum cleaner that sucks in enemies and blasts them as projectiles, the Omochao Gun that fires Omochao heads everyone, or the gun among guns, the mother of all murderers, the beautiful, a$$-annihilating Shadow Rifle. Ohh baby, what I wouldn’t give for a gun like that…
Boomstick starts drooling and dozing off
Wiz: Oh good, he’s lost in ecstasy. Well the Shadow Rifle certainly is a gun worth fawning over as it has incredible range and far more destructive power than Shadow's other weaponry. Though in truth these guns might as well be for show as Shadow has a much stronger weapon at his mere fingertips.
Boomstick snaps out of ecstasy
Boomstick: Yup, turns out Gerald invested in another alien doohickey for his Ultimate Lifeform project. He discovered these gems called the Chaos Emeralds that had enough power in them to warp space and time. So he thought, what if I could put that same power into my hedgehog and it worked.
Wiz: Shadow contains a massive surge of pure Chaos within him which is equivalent to that of a Chaos Emerald. The power is so incredible that he has to wear Inhibitor Rings to avoid that power going out of control and exhausting him. Though even in a contained state, the power of Chaos has a lot of potential behind it.
Boomstick: Just like the Emeralds, Shadow can warp space to teleport and other objects. He can also concentrate it to destructive bursts, energy balls of death, or a big blast that disoriented people’s senses. Though if he needs extra power, Shadow can fire his Chaos Spears that are made of pure Chaos and cannot be blocked by armor.
Popup: Shadow’s emotions can have a major influence on his powers. With enough positive or negative emotion, he can push his Chaos abilities to their limit, granting him temporary invincibility and unlimited ammunition.
Wiz: There’s even the Shadow Heal that heals Shadow’s wounds over time, the Chaos Blast that annihilates everything around him, and his signature Chaos Control. This power significantly improves his teleportation abilities and slows down time to the point that it's practically frozen. Shadow can accomplish all this without the need of any Chaos Emerald, but should he get all 7, he can boost his abilities to achieve the form of Super Shadow.
Popup: Shadow has used Chaos Control to travel through time, although this requires the aid another Chaos Control user in order to achieve this feat.
Boomstick: Going from emo boy to golden boy amplifies all of Shadow’s abilities, lets him fly, and makes him completely invincible. The only drawback is that this form will last no more than 50 seconds, unless he can refuel his ring supply, but with that insane power 50 seconds is all Shadow needs.
Wiz: “Insane” is definitely one way of describing it. Sonic once used the same Chaos Emeralds to move continents around, requiring a total output of 2.8 Yottatons on TNT and Super Shadow should be comparable to that. With so much destructive potential within him Shadow may be considered more like the Ultimate Weapon more than an Ultimate Lifeform.
Boomstick: I mean his purpose is to help aliens conquer the world and he holds hatred towards all mankind who in turn fears him greatly. He kinda meets the prerequisites for a living murder machine. But in spite of this, Maria saw some good in Shadow and in her dying moments she begged Shadow to use his powers to protect others.
Wiz: A request Shadow would gladly fulfill. But with the world hating him, his obligation to Black Doom, and a brief amnesia phase that may or may not made him believe he might be a robot, Shadow ended up with quite the identity crisis on his hands. He became stuck trying to figure out who he was and if it made him a hero or a villain.
Boomstick: But it doesn’t matter where his moral compass was pointing because either way Shadow would destroy anyone who got in his way. He’s been used as a cannonball to destroy secret bases, dodged gunfire from multiple enemies at once, and according to the ultimate fighting robot Omega he’s just as capable as Sonic, the dude who has saved Mobius more times than I can count.
Wiz: That might be an understatement. In their first encounter, Shadow outpaced Sonic thanks to Chaos Control and in alternate timelines he straight up beat Sonic while he was aided by a giant war machine. Not only that, but Shadow has handled monsters such as Eggman, Mephiles, and the prototype Ultimate Lifeform who fused with the entire ARK.
Boomstick: And with the help of Sonic and another hedgehog who had a bad hair day, they were able to overpower Solaris, a literal god that could destroy the concept of time itself. If Shadow can accomplish all this, then a complicated past with a freaky space demon shouldn’t be too hard to get over.
Wiz: Maybe a little bit difficult to get over, yet Shadow managed to overcome it thanks to one last message from Professor Gerald. In truth, the professor never wanted Shadow to become a weapon but rather a beacon of hope to mankind.
Boomstick: Which is why daddy #1 asked Shadow to fix his mistake by backstabbing daddy #2. Thus took on Black Doom and not only stopped his evil scheme, he also annihilated the asteroid Doom and his cronies lived on finally severing ties with his accursed past.
Wiz: Though he may have conquered his literal demons, Shadow would continue to be that hope for mankind, allying himself with Sonic and friends to face whatever future threats came to Mobius. So villains beware as nothing should stand in the way of the Ultimate Lifeform and anyone who dares try will meet their end.
Shadow: If the world chooses to become my enemy, I will fight like I always have.
Bowser (Vrokorta)[]
Wiz: Long ago, a group of legendary beings were born. The seven Star Children, each one having a star embedded in their heart that grants them extraordinary power.
Boomstick: You've got Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Wario, Princess Peach, & even Yoshi. But the Star Child we're focused on is probably the toughest one of all, King Bowser Koopa.
Wiz: Even at a young age, Bowser was well known as a selfish individual who takes what he wants by force, likely a result of being raised by Kamek & the Toadies, a group of koopas who aren't well known for their kindness.
Boomstick: Dang, to think one of the biggest baddies in gaming was merely a victim of bad parenting. Now I feel bad for big B, & we've barely started the analysis.
Wiz: Bowser would grow up into a fierce & powerful ruler, who wants nothing more than to take over the world, whether its a mere kingdom, or every universe ever made.
Boomstick: And he's got the means to do it. First off is his fire breath, or I guess pyrokinesis in general. He can spew streams of fire, or fireballs. He can make fireballs rain from the sky, or he can spit super-powered fire that goes through walls, homes in on enemies, or creates puddles of lava. If fire breath doesn't work, he can just create rings of fire to burn the foe from a distance, or create a hecking FIRE BOOMERANG to throw at people. If all that wasn't enough, his fire can even burn underwater, which'd require temperatures around 4,000 degrees fahrenheit.
Wiz: He may be famous for breathing fire, but his most potent abilities stem from magic. He can summon various minions for all kinds of attacks. He can summon a Big Boo to induce Fear, a Mokura to Poison enemies, MechaKoopas of all sizes to burn or crush foes, or even a simple Bullet Bill to run the enemy down. He has terrakinesis to summon a stone spike from the ground to damage enemies, or surround himself in stone to become a giant boulder that crushes foes. He can shapeshift into various forms, transform enemies into weaker creatures or objects, turn minions into clones of himself, or even grow to massive proportions. There's also electrokinesis, allowing him to strike his surroundings with lightning, blast foes with electricity from his hands, or even for summoning minions. If all that wasn't enough, he can teleport, control gravity, & even travel through time! Bowser may be a brute, but he wields a terrifying amount of magical power.
Boomstick: Speaking of being a brute, this guy loves to punch. So much so that he had a hidden function in his body that let him punch EVEN HARDER. He calls it, the Sliding Haymaker, a punch so strong it actually drags Bowser through the air with its momentum, allowing him to easily close the distance on enemies & plow through dense boulders.
Wiz: That's far from his only physical move. Bowser also makes use of body slams to crush foes & create shockwaves. He'll perform shoulder bashes to slam foes with his girth, shoot spikes from his shell to stab foes from a distance, roll into his shell to crush foes under his well-armored backside, suck up enemies with a powerful vacuum breath, or even perform a dark version of Mario's Star Spin.
Boomstick: And that's just what he does on his own, cause Bowser likes to make use of weapons too. He'll throw hammers, bombs, barrels, flails, spike balls, his own dang shell, & even his allies! There's nothing this guy wouldn't throw!
Wiz: Except of course for his melee weapons, like his close-range hammers for slamming & crushing foes, his Drill Claw for stabbing foes, his spiky metal baseball bat, & even a cutlass! Y'know a lot of people like to write off Bowser as a dunce, but he's kind of a jack-of-all- trades isn't he?
Boomstick: We're not even half done with his full arsenal Wiz. With his armor from Yoshi's Safari, he can fire spherical projectiles while staying well protected from enemies. With the Minimizer, he can shrink foes down to a few centimeters tall. With the MegaMorph Belt he can turn into Blockhead Bowser. He even has a potion that can turn him giant... seems kind of useless when he can turn giant himself.
Wiz: And just like his rival Mario, Bowser can make use of power-ups to enhance his capabilities. With the Super Bell, Bowser becomes Meowser, equipping him with claws he can use for melee attacks or climbing walls. This form also comes with cat-like agility & speed, as well as a tail for whipping enemies.
Boomstick: The Double Cherry can double Bowser up to 4 times, making for a total of 5 Bowsers. With a Grand Star, Bowser grows to titanic size, gains the ability to fly at speeds faster than light, & is literally empowered by an artifact that can destroy & recreate the fabric of the universe. Bowser also has the Dream Stone, which can grant him wishes when empowered by dreams.
Wiz: But when Bowser needs to get around, he uses one of his many vehicles, his most famous being the Koopa Clown Car. This flying machine not only protects Bowser from damage, but also comes equipped with an assortment of weapons. It can drop iron balls, Mechakoopas, & Bob-ombs. It can fire Bullet Bills & Bull's-Eye Bills from cannons, lasers from a gun, & flames from a flamethrower.
Boomstick: He's also got the Bowser Mobile, a giant purple car whose sole purpose is to show off Bowser's rizz. He's got the Bowser Dozer, a heavily armored car equipped with spiked wheels & a flamethrower. He's got a giant purple tank equipped with spike ball launchers & flamethrowers. Then finally he's got his spaceship from Mario Party Star Rush, which can transform into a giant Bowser mech. This thing can fire its spikes & hands like missiles, spit blue fireballs, fire spike balls from a cannon in its shell, & shoot lasers from its eyes.
Wiz: Now on to everyone's favorite part... okay maybe it's just Vrok's favorite part. Bowser's transformations. First off is his most common form, Giant Bowser. Achieved in many ways, but always a significant boost to Bowser's power. He can throw a castle, throw explosive energy balls, & summon numerous obstacles & enemies, including major characters like King Bob-omb & King Boo.
Boomstick: Next up is Dry Bowser, the king's undead skeletal variant. In this form, Bowser becomes more resilient due to the lack of soft flesh covering his body. He becomes fire resistant, gains the ability to reconstruct his skeleton, can throw his own bones (adding to the number of things he'll throw), & is slightly faster than regular Bowser thanks to all that muscle & fat not weighing him down.
Wiz: By transforming into Metal Bowser, the koopa king multiplies his weight tenfold, likely increasing his durability in a similar fashion to Metal Mario.
Boomstick: Then there's his newest form, Fury Bowser! This is one of Bowser's biggest forms, & comes with the ability to quickly create thunderstorms, spread black paint across Lake Lapcat, fire his back spikes across islands, & even corrupt innocent kittens. What greater evil is there?! Lucky for Mario, Fury Bowser's one weakness is the light, & will retreat from strong sources of light.
Wiz: But now we get into Bowser's strongest form. By consuming the Dream Stone, Bowser becomes Dreamy Bowser, becoming empowered by all the dreams that powered the Dream Stone. Y'see, in the Mario world, dreams are entire universes of their own, not only containing stars & constellations, but also their own flow of time. Considering that the Dream Stone can absorb the dreams of an entire island's population, that'd put them number of universes Bowser's powered by well over 100,000. In fact, it's believed that humans dream several times a night, & we simply don't remember the dreams we had. This could put the number of universes powering Bowser up to several hundred thousand, if not more.
Boomstick: And that's just the power he possesses. With the power of the Dream Stone, Dreamy Bowser can easily change his size, duplicate himself, summon minions, & create food to heal himself. The only way to defeat him is to drain the HP on his head, but easier said than done when he uses his arms to defend his head.
Wiz: But that's not all. In Super Paper Mario, Bowser made use of the most powerful artifacts in Mario history, the Pure Hearts. The power of the Pure Hearts can counter that of the Chaos Heart, an artifact that would destroy all worlds. This would be far more than the number of universes that power the Dream Stone, as its not limited to the dreams it absorbed. Rather, it would destroy everything that ever existed, especially with the existence of the Dream Depot, a world that turns dreams into reality. This means that every dream ever dreamed has been turned in to a real universe, & each one was going to be destroyed by the Chaos Heart.
Boomstick: That's a lot of dreams, but we can't really quantify that, can we?
Wiz: Actually Boomstick, we might just. Y'see, certain worlds in Mario are stated or implied to be infinite in size, worlds such as Tick Tock Clock & any world with a bottomless pit. If these worlds are truly endless, then it stands to reason that they have an endless number of people in them. If this endless number of people all dream, then that means there's an endless number of dreams being turned into worlds every day. Therefore, the Chaos Heart would've destroyed an infinite number of dreams, making the Pure Hearts Multiversal+ for stopping it.
Boomstick: Wow, crazy. Even then, we're not done with Bowser. Bowser can keep up with Mario, who's done all sorts of FTL crap. His fastest feat is piloting Starship Mario, a ship fast enough to cross hundreds of galaxies in seconds, making it 28 quadrillion times the speed of light. With a Grand Star, Bowser was actually able to keep up with the starship, as well as outpace a black hole.
Wiz: Even with all this, Bowser tends to be a bit of a loser. For all his power & abilities, Bowser often fights in disadvantageous areas, lets his arrogance get the best of him, & somehow always manages to get beaten by Mario, who has little to none of the might & magic Bowser possesses.
Boomstick: Even so, Bowser has the tenacity to never back down, no matter how many times he's beaten. The mere fact that he's survived every defeat is a testament to his strength of will & body. When it comes to Bowser, you may win the battle, but you'll never win the war.
King Dedede (Y3p)[]
(Cue: King Dedede's Theme [Brawl] - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)
Boomstick: Ah, Dreamland: The perfect place for eating, napping, and fighting eldritch horrors. What's not to love?
Wiz: And thankfully, the peaceful kingdom has a hero to save it from said horrors: our lovable puffball Kirby. But he wasn't always the god slaying monster he is today. In fact, his first ever adventure was against the self-proclaimed King of Dreamland himself: King Dedede.
Wiz: Before King Dedede became the monarch with a heart of gold that we all know and love, he was...
Boomstick: A complete bastard?
Wiz: Yeah, that. He abused his power constantly, even stealing all of Dreamland's food all for himself.
Boomstick: And much like DK with his bananas, messing with Kirby's ability to eat is basically a death wish, something Triple D learned a little too late once the pink puffballs was knocking at his door and kicked his feathery ass.
Wiz: After his defeat at Kirby's hand, Dedede would withdraw himself and go through grueling training to match, and hopefully surpass, Kirby. And said training did give him results. While before his encounter with Kirby, all King Dedede could do was swing his hammer, jump high into the air, and can even inhale like Kirby could.
Boomstick: But after? He learned a secret that all penguins would kill to have! That's right, King Dedede learned to FLY! I mean, it's basically the same way Kirby could. But hey, a flying penguin. Not only that, but he soon learn the secret ways of fucking cheating by using the Gordos, a race of invincible spike balls, as throwing ammunition with his hammer.
Wiz: That's not all he learned through his training, for he also learned how to create shockwaves with his high jump, how to make fiery pillars with mighty slams from his hammer, and how to fire lightning from his hands.
Boomstick: Wait, what the fuck!?
Wiz: But techniques aren't the only thing he gained from his training-
(Music cuts out)
Boomstick: No, no, no! Go the fuck back! When has King fucking Dedede learned to fire god damn lightning from his god damn hands!?
Wiz: Oh, that? Kirby's Pinball Land.
Boomstick: …And this was never brought up again wwhhhyyyyy?
Wiz: I don't know.
Boomstick: THE FUCK YOU MEAN "i dOn'T kNOw"!?
Wiz: Listen Boomstick, we have more things to go over for him, most of which are far more impressive than him shooting lightning. So can we move on from this?
Boomstick: *Sigh* FIIIIIIIIINNNE... But we're continuing this afterwards.
(Cue: Revenge of the Enemy [Triple Deluxe] - Super Kirby Clash OST)
Wiz: Fine, whatever. Anyways, as I was saying, techniques aren't the only thing he gained from his training, for he gotten stronger and faster as a result of it.
Boomstick: Shame that doesn't mean much for Kirby. He kept on kicking D's ass time after time, possession after possession, game after game. And funnily enough, either due to seeing Kirby as a chill dude or from too many hits to the head, Dedede eventually saw Kirby as a friend, his BFF if you will. Hell, he even taught him how to use a hammer.
Wiz: And this eventually transformed his way of thinking. While him being a stubborn, egotistical, glutton, he did eventually start caring for others besides himself, be they his best friends, his own Waddle Dees, to even complete strangers. In fact, King Dedede would even help Kirby on his adventures multiple times.
Boomstick: And while Kirby does kick his ass on a constant basis, he does constantly keep with him when they're working together, like the time where they fought Shang Tsung's Kirby OC: Magolor.
Wiz: After his defeat, Magolor effectively destroyed Another Dimension, a dimension that holds other dimensions. And since King Dedede has fought against him, it's safe to say that he would scale to said feat.
Boomstick: That's cool and all, but how many dimensions does it hold?
Wiz: Excellent question, Boomstick. So firstly, we know from Heroes in Another Dimension has a grand total of five different dimensions. Next, we know that in Magolor's Epilogue that it holds at least four dimensions as well. And finally, as shown in Kirby's Return to Dreamland, we fight, at the very least, 15 different Sphere Doomers in 15 different dimensions. Adding all these up together, we get a grand total of 24 different dimensions.
Boomstick: Wow. Now that's a lot of dimensions.
Wiz: And that's not all King Dedede has done, as he's also capable of aiding Kirby in his fight with Void Termina, a threat to all of reality who was the strongest foe Kirby has ever fought in his history.
Boomstick: Oh god, you're going to be talking about dimensions again, aren't you...
Wiz: That's right, Boomstick.
Boomstick: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUC-
Wiz: So, as already mentioned, Kirby's universe isn't the only one out there. But Another Dimension isn't the only one alternate dimension Kirby knows of. There's the Mirror World, a dark reflection of Kirby's own world and characters, Team Kirby Clash's world, and the Forgotten Land. So adding those three together with Kirby's world, plus Another Dimension, we get 28 dimensions threatened with destruction.
Boomstick: And that's not all that King Dedede fought. He's fought the as mentioned Magolor, Queen Sectonia, his Mirror World self: Shadow Dedede, the above mentioned Void Termina, and even Meta Knight's own dark reflection: Dark Meta Knight, who was stated to be the shadow of the strongest warrior. Wait a minute, where have I heard that title before? It sounds so familiar
Wiz: It should be. For you see, sometime after Kirby's fight with Marx, Meta Knight went on a quest to become the strongest, and his journey led him to the planet destroyer Galacta Knight, who's not only the strongest warrior in the galaxy, but also one of the four heroes of old who sealed away Void Termina.
Boomstick: And Meta Knight kicked his ass not just once, not twice, but THREE times!
Wiz: And since Dedede's capable of fighting against the likes of Dark Meta Knight, who actually fought and defeated Meta Knight before, it means that he's capable of keeping up with the real Meta Knight, who's capable of going over 183 quadrillion times the speed of light. Though we don't even need to use Dark Meta Knight to scale him to the real one since King Dedede's capable of fighting Galacta Knight as well, meaning with or without Dark Meta Knight, he scales either way.
Boomstick: And that's not all folks. As mentioned earlier, Dedede has shown to be able to keep up with Kirby, both in power AND in speed, meaning whatever Kirby's done, Dedede ain't far behind. The time Kirby flew to another galaxy to chase after Dark Daroach? Said feat that's over 2 quadrillion times the speed of light? Yeah, King Dedede can scale to that.
Wiz: Then there's the time where Kirby was able to outrun a universe warping black hole. Seeing as black holes lasted for only 21 milliseconds, and it was spinning the entire universe, it should be 139 quintillion times the speed of light. Not only that, but King Dedede is capable of preforming the exact same feat as Kirby, meaning it should scale to this regardless of being comparable to Kirby.
(Cue: Masked Dedede Battle - Kirby Super Star Ultra OST)
Boomstick: Ah, but that's above what Kirby and his friends are normally capable of. It's not like they've shown feats that make him much more faster than that, right?
Wiz: Well that's not entirely true, Boomstick. Remember Another Dimension?
Boomstick: How could I? You never shut up about it.
Wiz: Well you see, it's not only an area that holds multiple dimensions in it, but it's also a dimension that's beyond time itself.
Boomstick: Oh, I see where you're getting at. But isn't that feat just a one time thing ever since Magolor's fight?
Wiz: No actually. Even ignoring Heroes in Another Dimension, Kirby, King Dedede, and Meta Knight have all fought and defeated the Doomers, beings who originate from Another Dimension and can freely move through it with ease. Not only that, but Lanida after their crown was stolen was still capable of traversing Another Dimension, meaning that their Master Crown self, who King Dedede fought before hand, should be at the very least comparable to their crownless self. And that's not even going over Magolor in his Epilogue, where he traverses Another Dimension and even fights both Doomers and the Master Crown itself.
Boomstick: One: Shut the fuck up already about Another Dimension! Like, Jesus Christ, man! And two: What's with Nintendo and making the Kirby verse so busted?
Wiz: But power and speed isn't all what King Dedede has up his robes, for he also has his trusty hammer.
Boomstick: Perfect for clobbaing your foes into the ground. Hell, it's better at doing that than any monsters ever could. It's capable of creating an icy barrier around him as he spins it around, cutting rope like a sword with a single swing... somehow, and can even produce fire as Dedede charges up a powerful swing to clobba anyone close to him.
Wiz: But when his normal hammer isn't up to snuff, he dons his mask and turns into the Masked Dedede. As Masked Dedede, he uses a brand new hammer-
Boomstick: That's badass as hell! It has a flamethrower, energy beams, and it can fire MISSLES! Like I said last time we talked about it, I'll pick that hammer every time. You get four ways to brutalize people up in one! What's not to love about this form?
(Cue: History of Dedede (Vs. Team DDD: Very Hard) - Kirby Fighters Deluxe Music | Hirokazu Ando)
Wiz: But not even that's all the hammers he has at his disposal. For in Kirby Fighters Deluxe, King Dedede uses a special hammer, a hammer that was blessed by the Fountain of Dreams. With said hammer, he's capable of increasing his size, firing energy balls, creating explosions with a mere swing, and even make smaller clones of himself, with the known number of how many clones he can make being 64.
Boomstick: I get it! But not even that's all he can do with it, for he can even uses it power to blind others with the power of throwing his merch in their face! Wait, I feel like this is a metaphor for something.
Wiz: But hammers aren't all what Dedede has for combat, for he also has a rocket launcher, a mecha capable of producing smaller robo Dededes, and the Dededetroyer Z, a giant mech built to combat Kirby one on one, ignoring the fact that it can produce clones of Kirby with copy abilities to help Dedede fight him.
Boomstick: Where does Dedede even get all this stuff?
Wiz: Who knows, but creating Kirby clones isn't all what the Dededetroyer Z can do, for it's also capable of firing a mighty laser and launching multiple missiles at his foes. And in true Dedede fashion, it wields a hammer.
Boomstick: Even when he's not using his hammer, he can't help but finding a way to use one. At least he's consistent.
Wiz: But that's not all King Dedede has to use. Remember when he stole all the food in Dreamland? That wasn't all he stole. He also stolen the Sparkling Stars, relics of great power. With one of these, he was capable of transforming into a massive version of himself and can even summon is Masked Dedede gear if he needs it.
Boomstick: God damn! No wonder why he stole them. I'd do it too if I could get that hammer. But that's not even all what it's capable of, since just one of them is capable of producing three copies of yourself. Just imagine three giant Masked Dededes fighting you at the same time. It's as awesome as it is horrifying for whoever's in his way.
Wiz: But all of it pales in comparison to the Friend Heart. With this heart, he's capable of purging any evil influences out of any person and can even transform them into his ally, even if they can resist effects similar to it.
Boomstick: Sit down, this is going to be a doozy to explain. *Inhales* So after getting possessed by Dark Matter for the third time in a row, because that's the perfect excuse for King Dedede being a villain, King Dedede apparently gain some type of resistance towards them somehow, seeing as he's capable of being inside of Dark Star, which is entirely made up of an massive Dark Matter hivemind. Well skip forwards towards Star Allies and we get the Jamba Heart, which is capable of possessing him by just being near him. After getting the crap beaten out of him by Kirby for the millionth time in a row, and purified by the Friend Heart, he no longer gets possessed by anymore Jamba Hearts. Now we skip the end of the game, where Void Termina has an ability to possess others, like the Jamba Heart and Dark Matter, despite the fact that people like King Dedede are now DOUBLE IMMUNE to that shit, and then we have the Friend Heart capable of removing that influence once again. *Starts to breathe and pant heavily* My god, what is even going on with Kirby anymore? I feel light headed...
Wiz: Even without all of his equipment, he still has more to show off. For example, his ability to turn into a ghost after defeat. When he becomes a ghost, all he needs to do is hit a living person to revive himself back to normal. And speaking of ghosts, he's shown capable harming them, meaning that if someone has the same ability as he does as a ghost, then he has an answer for that.
Boomstick: Not only that, but dude's survived both ends of the worst conditions nature can throw at you. A lava planet? Not even breaking a sweat. An ice planet? Not even a shiver, which is good seeing as he's penguin. Like, you know how embarrassing a penguin who can't stand the cold would be? Hell, not even space could affect him in anyway and even has resisted the effects of a black hole, which are NOT FUN to put it lightly.
Wiz: He's even shown to be capable of resisting Drawcia warping his world into a painting and even unaffected by the Cook's ability to transform others into food. What more, he can even reflect other's attacks right back at them.
Boomstick: He even seems to have toon force too, seeing as he's been crushed flat and bounced back from that like it was nothing and seemingly has an endless supply of hammers from to just throw at people and can even reform said hammer if it's ever broken as if nothing happened. And not only that, but he's even unaffected by Morpho Knight's, who's basically Death itself in the Kirby-verse, ability to steal someone's life force. Seriously, I swear that HAL's turning the series into something like God of War for how powerful they're making them.
Wiz: But to me personally, what I consider one of his more interesting things about him is that he has over a thousand years worth of experience fighting and training.
Boomstick: Wait, WHAT!? EXPLAIN! NOW!
Wiz: You see, before the events of Triple Deluxe and after the events of The Amazing Mirror, Queen Sectonia was gifted the Amazing Mirror, which slowly corrupted her the more she gazed into it for a thousand years before transforming into her more recognizable form in Triple Deluxe.
Boomstick: …But I thought Kirby was a baby...
Wiz: Nope, an over 1000 year old man.
Boomstick: …I'm going to lie down now until we start the next analysis...
Wiz: Don't worry, I'll take it from here. Despite all of this though, King Dedede still has massive faults. He's very arrogant and egotistical, as mentioned before. And if you're a fan of Kirby, you'll know about King Dedede's long history of either being possessed or mind controlled, with him not having much of a resistance in the latter. Not only that, but he's incredibly clumsy. Even if he's weaponized it to his advantage, it still leaves him open for attacks. But regardless of all of that, he's shown many a times why he's a mighty king to his people. So be it when the world is in danger, his subjects need saving, or even a race to see who can eat the most before reaching the finish line, King Dedede is always there to lend a helping hand.
King Dedede: "Sing when you want to sing, dance when you want to dance! Everyday, have fun and enjoy life! That’s what it means to be a Great King!"
Madara Uchiha (Shadow)[]
Wiz: For some, the world is a canvas waiting to be shaped into something ideal, so that all may prosper. But for others, the world is a miserable existence, something that people must be liberated from, and this belief perfectly embodies the mindset of Madara Uchiha. Born during a time of warring clans and factions, Madara only knew the fight, and the destruction it brought.
Boomstick: That is, except for one ninja who envisioned the world could one day be a peaceful society, Hashirama Senju. While they both wanted peace, the Uchiha and Senju clans were at war, and the conflict was nothing short of brutal. With his brother killed and driven by his stubbornness and refusal to give up, it seemed like Madara would just endlessly fight against Hashirama.
Wiz: Yet when Hashirama offered to end his life, Madara finally accepted that peace was the best solution, and so the two clans came together and helped create Konohagakure, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, with Madara himself coining the name. However, the two did not see eye to eye on the peace they had achieved. Hashirama desired peace through unity and cooperation, while Madara wanted peace through conquest and dominion.
Boomstick: Naturally, when this came to light, Hashirama and Madara fought, as they had many times before. Except this time, Madara died for real. And Hashirama returned to continue his ideals of peace. But in reality, Madara had anticipated his death, and used the powers of his legendary Uchiha bloodline to ensure his survival, using his death to go into hiding and begin a plan for global domination.
Wiz: As an Uchiha, Madara was gifted in the art of ninja warfare. He carries the Uchiha clan's signature gunbai fan, which allows him to reflect an enemy's attacks right back to them by converting the chakra within an opponent's attack. He also wields a Kama, basically a Japanese sickle that is often attached directly to the gunbai. While these tools would serve Madara well during wartime, it wasn't long until he awakened the more powerful and latent Uchiha powers within his very blood.
Boomstick: Because surprise surprise! Madara isn't just another Uchiha, he's actually a reincarnation of one of the most influential ninjas in history, Indra Ōtsutsuki. Because of that, Madara has an absolute shitton of chakra, which is basically the spiritual and physical energy that Naruto characters use for all their crazy techniques and abilities, and Madara has truckloads of the stuff, no wonder he can do all sorts of crazy bullshit! It's literally part of who he is, and I can't tell if that's badass, or just way too overpowered.
Wiz: With his immense supplies of chakra, Madara can use numerous ninjutsu techniques, fitting since Indra was the one who pioneered ninjutsu in the first place. The Uchihas have an affinity toward Fire Release techniques, and Madara has shown his finesse with fire, launching fireballs, dragon-shaped fireballs, spewing out a sea of flame and even using smoke and ashes to hide. In addition to his mastery of flame, Madara also possesses the Sharingan.
Boomstick: These red eyes are the real deal. Thanks to a healthy dose of mental trauma, Madara got himself the standard Sharingan, which ranked up into a Mangekyō Sharingan during the war. But when Madara's bro was on his death bed, he gave Madara his Mangekyō Sharingan, and Madara ranked up even further into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Becoming one of only two Uchiha in history to have achieved an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Wiz: Under normal circumstances, the typical Mangekyō Sharingan causes the eyes themselves to go blind if used too excessively, but this flaw is circumvented by the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, allowing Madara all of the benefits while cutting out all of the downsides. With it, he can see down to the cellular level, anticipate his opponents moves with precognition. Sense and see the flow of chakra through an opponent's body, and cast genjutsu illusions. But in achieving the highest form of a Sharingan, Madara acquired even more powers.
Boomstick: Like the epic and legendary Susanoo. And because Madara is all about having the maximum potential of his powers, he is one the few to have achieved the Perfect Susanoo. Which is basically a colossal chakra avatar that Madara can command to fight, protect him or even become like armor to Tailed Beasts. All these tools Madara put to great effect in his battle with Hashirama, even though he couldn't beat 'em. But Madara was a clever son of a bitch who knew Hashirama was a powerful foe, so he helped himself to some of his rival's flesh.
Wiz: This unusual decision would drastically evolve Madara into something even more terrifying. Because just like him, Hashirama was the reincarnation of an Ōtsutsuki, Indra's brother, Asura. The two brothers were essentially the Yin and Yang to each other, and by combining the chakra of the two brothers, Madara unlocked an extraordinarily rare power, the Rinnegan. This granted him the powers of the Six Paths. With the Deva Path, Madara can control gravity. The Human Path can allow one to rip out the souls of another.
Boomstick: The Animal Path lets him summon animals, obviously. But Madara's favorite is the Outer Path, which lets him basically have power over life and death, which he needed if he was going to come back to life. So, he found this kid, Nagato, and implanted his Rinnegan into his body. All of this in the hopes that his Rinnegan would be used to revive him once he died. And in time, he did kick the bucket. But not before taking a disciple who would carry on his name and mission. While Madara himself was gone, Obito continued the name of Madara for years.
Wiz: But in true Madara fashion, even his natural death wasn't enough to stop him, as Madara was reanimated, and eventually revived back into his proper body decades later. And everything he had planned for had happened according to his design. The Tailed Beasts had been rounded by the Akatsuki, Obito remained loyal to his ambitions, and, along the way, kicked off the Fourth Shinobi World War. All to bring about the revival of the Ten-Tails, a fearsome and insurmountable Tailed Beast that had been sealed away.
Boomstick: Once the beast had been revived, and he reclaimed his Rinnegan from Obito, Madara sealed the Ten-Tails within himself, transforming him into the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. Which put him on a level directly comparable to the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was the original Ten-Tails Jinchuriki way back in the day. And back then, Hagormo could move the moon! And considering all the crazy bullshit Madara achieved, he'd be more than comparable.
Wiz: In becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Madara became the strongest ninja in the entire world, putting everyone else to shame. Even Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, and his incredible faster than light speeds were unable to catch Madara off guard, and he easily reacted to and repelled the fastest ninja in the world. As the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Madara was able to tap into Six Paths Chakra, which granted him even more abilities, like the Truth-Seeking Orbs. These malleable balls of chakra can be freely shaped however Madara wants, allowing him both offensive and defensive capability.
Boomstick: For example, he can make a giant bubble to shield himself from attacks. Or he can shape them into weapons to use against foes. But watch out, these aren't just stretchy balls, these bad boys can erase shit from existence, just by touching stuff! And not just physically, but it can also directly erase things spirtually! So whatever you do, watch out! And as if Madara needed any more fucking powers, the list just keeps going on and on!
Wiz: The Ten-Tails Jinchuriki also possesses impressive levels of regeneration, allowing them to regenerate from having half of their bodies being destroyed. When Obito commanded this power, he survived losing half of his body, and regenerated without issue. Madara similarly survived being bisected by Sasuke. Madara also received the power of Limbo Clones. Basically four completely invisible and practically untouchable duplicates that can use all of Madara's same abilities. These clones are especially powerful because only those with Six Paths Chakra can reliably deal with them.
Boomstick: But this technique isn't completely OP. The clones themselves can't entirely act on their own indefintely, and they'll need to return to Madara's body eventually. And Madara won't be able to use the clones for a while once that does happen. But Madara just doesn't fucking run out of powers, so we're just gonna keep going through this checklist. By being its Jinchuriki, Madara can summon a construct of the Ten-Tails in the form of the God Tree, which he needed in order to cast his ultimate technique, the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Wiz: And when the God Tree's flower had taken form, and Madara possessed both of his Rinnegan, he achieved the Rinne Sharingan, the foundation from which the Rinnegan, the Sharingan and the Byakugan developed from. The Rinne Sharingan allowed Madara to reflect it onto the moon, which is what allowed him to finally cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi. If you attempted to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi without a Rinne Sharingan, it would usually take you 15 minutes, but since Madara is all about optimizing his abilities, he can cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi whenever he wants.
Boomstick: And the Infinite Tsukuyomi is the granddaddy of all genjutsu. This one is so powerful that even those who can resist genjutsu are unable to resist its effects. It takes a Rinnegan, or literally being a reanimated ninja, to avoid being affected by it. The Infinite Tsukuyomi traps everyone on the planet into a genjutsu where they get to live out their most ideal life, free of all the pain and suffering that the real world makes you go through. In Madara's mind, this was the peace that he wanted everyone to enjoy all along. This was reality as it should be.
Wiz: While Madara's ambitions were immense, his blatant arrogance and hubris got the better of him. As Black Zetsu, who Madara believed was a manifestation of his will, was the true architect behind everything, and Madara had gone and done all this ensure the revival of Kaguya Otsutsuki. Madara was helpless to stop it, and unwillingly became the vessel that completed Kaguya's revival. And when Kaguya was defeated and sealed away, there was no possible means for Madara to escape his death.
Boomstick: At least he went out with Hashirama making sure he'd be alright. But outside of his obvious ego, Madara's chakra, despite being fucking massive, is still finite. The Ten-Tails is a different story, but Madara does still need to use chakra to summon and seal the Ten-Tails inside him in the first place. While Madara is obviously a strategic and tactical genius, he does need to keep an eye out. Even as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Madara still has weaknesses to Senjutsu, techinques that use the natural energy surrounding them.
Wiz: As well as Taijutsu, the martial arts of the ninja world. This weakness very nearly got him killed when Might Guy, perhaps the greatest Taijutsu master of all time, used the Eight Gates to their fullest potential. Madara himself admitted that Might Guy almost killed him with that immense power, even with his impressive regenerative healing power.
Boomstick: The ideal reality Madara fought for might not have come to pass. But, in a roundabout way, Madara's ambition ultimately helped bring about a much brighter, and better future, one that will always remember the legacy of Madara Uchiha.
