Toho vs. Daei/Kadokawa! These two Titans of terror were created by an ancient civilization, possess weapons for hands, and are humanoid in terms of appearance (well, sort of) and stature! But who's superior?
Interlude[]
Tabashi: Throughout history, there have been three different kinds of Kaiju: Kaiju of nature, Kaiju of science, and Kaiju of extraterrestrial origin.
Angel: And these two fall in the second category! Well, kind of.
Tabashi: Megalon, the Showa Godzilla's big, bad, burrowing Beetle bug.
Angel: And Iris, the Gamera trilogy's titanic tentacled tyrant of terror.
Tabashi: For this fight, we will ONLY be examining the movie version of Megalon. So no Atari Saga or Godzilla Island feats will be featured here.
Angel: He's Tabashi and I'm Angel!
Tabashi: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win in a Death Battle!
Megalon[]
Tabashi: For thousands of years, the ancient civilization of Seatopia lived in peace underground. However, their thousand years of peace would come to a halt.
Angel: Yeah, it turns out humans were testing a bunch of their shiny new nuclear weapons, and that started to tear the shit out of their city.
Tabashi: However, the final straw came when these weapons actually almost destroyed Monster Island.
Angel: Wait! WHAT?! But that’s Godzilla's home! Why do we have such an insatiable need to piss off Kaiju!? But then again, that's probably like kids throwing eggs or toilet paper at your house on Halloween to Godzilla.
Tabashi: Back onto the subject, the Seatopians, angered by the humans, decided to call upon their ancient guardian monster: Megalon.
Angel: Standing 180-289 feet (or 55-88 meters) tall and weighing 40,000-64,000 metric tons, Megalon is the God of Seatopia. Hey Tabashi, you’re omniscent when it comes to Kaiju species, right?
Tabashi: Well, I wouldn’t go that far, but I do know what most of them are, yes.
Angel: What the heck is Megalon supposed to be?
Tabashi: Well, he appears to be the love child between a Cockroach and some kind of Rhinoceros Beetle. However, given Megalon’s drill hands (which isn’t explained as to how he got them), he could be something else entirely. But anyway, Megalon was sent to destroy Japan after being guided by a reprogramed Jet Jaguar.
Angel: But once Jet Jaguar became his old self again, he summoned Godzilla to help stop Megalon… and, as expected, Godzilla beat the living shit out of him.
Tabashi: Yeah, even with the help of Gigan, Megalon lost against the King of the Monsters. But that doesn't mean that Megalon isn't strong in his own right. Being an insectoid-like creature, Megalon naturally has mandibles and a tail, as well as the ability to fly at Mach 3 (2,302mph).
Angel: Also, being a Kaiju, he can travel underwater at Mach 4 (3,069.1mph). By factoring his high-end weight, these speeds give him a KE of 8.1 Kilotons of TNT while flying, and 14.4 Kilotons of TNT underwater.
Tabashi: But of course, Megalon's drills are his primary tools, being used for burrowing at speeds of Mach 2 (1,535mph, with a KE of 4 Kilotons of TNT), or physical combat, as they are powerful enough to actually pierce Godzilla's tough hide.
Angel: With these bad boys, Megalon can perform the Power Drill, where he charges his drills into an opponent. He can also perform the Drill Spin, stabbing his opponent, lifting them and spinning them with his drill.
Tabashi: The Drill Spin allows him to lift Kaiju like the Showa Godzilla, who weighs 20,000 metric tons. The drills are also capable of delivering an Electrical Discharge Punch.
Angel: The big bug his also capable of shorting god dam lightning from his horn and fucking spit Napalm Bombs!
Tabashi: Megalon can also perform a powerful variation of this attack: Geothermal Napalm. By firing five bombs, he can create five spires of fire from the impact. As well as lighting and bombs, Megalon is capable of using a Magnetic Vortex that draws opponents towards him, then unleashes a powerful electromagnetic pulse.
Angel: This magnetic attack is created by Megalon ruffling his wings together, which pretty much deifies the science of magnetism. His horn is also capable of firing green energy blasts, usually three in a row. Also, Megalon has, well, some pretty extraordinary jumping, being able to travel 10 KILOMETERS by doing so.
Tabashi: While airborne, Megalon can perform the Duel Drill: By combining his drill hands and begins to slowly glide horizontally towards enemies while slowly losing altitude. Plus, if Megalon is low on energy, he can perform a Leech Probe. In other words, by biting an opponent four times, Megalon can regain health.
Angel: He can send opponents flying with his Dynamite Kick, and when Megalon comes into contact with space crystals, he is able to absorb their energy and go into Critical Mass, which increases his size and strength, making him one really jacked-up roach.
Tabashi: While Megalon has been defeated by Godzilla on a few occasions, he has proven himself as a capable fighter, as he is capable of facing many different monsters such as Kumonga, Ebirah, Hedorah, Megaguirus, and multiple Kamacurus.
Angel: He's capable of overpowering Jet Jaguar one-on-one, and he's at even strength with King Caesar.
Tabashi: He is capable of keeping up with the likes of Rodan and even Mothra and Battra, the Guardians of Earth.
Angel: He even caused a volcanic eruption underwater!
Tabashi: Megalon is also just as capable of keeping up with space kaiju like his partner-in-crime Gigan and even King Ghidorah, who’s powerful enough to wipe out life on Venus.
Angel: DAMM! But as powerful as he is, Megalon is not without weaknesses.
Tabashi: Yeah, his Lighting Horn can be easily snapped off, he can be burnt to death by Godzilla's Atomic Beam and killed through a bite to the neck (depending on the bite force).
Angel: But perhaps Megalon's great weakness is… he's kind of a dumbass.
Tabashi: Yeeeahhh, Megalon has actually been stated to be the dumbest Kaiju in the Godzilla universe, which is saying something.
Angel: Megalon has a tendency of charging head on without thinking and is also a little short tempered. Also, Megalon's flying ability is also somewhat limited due to weight.
Tabashi: Not to mention Megalon can also be easily controlled by more intelligent beings.
Angel: Yeah like Seatopians, aliens, the usual stuff.
Tabashi: He may need to be advised by his allies like Gigan and there are times where he even forgets to use his Lighting horn, which can even turn into a major disadvantage in battle.
Angel: But despite these flaws, Megalon is still a hell of a bug. It's gonna take a lot more than a kaiju-sized can of R.A.I.D to take him down.
Iris[]
Tabashi: The year was 1999, when the King of the Monsters faced off against that constantly regenerating alien we need to feature on Death Battle sometime. Gamera's use of the Mana Canon to defeat Mother Legion had some... bad effects on the planet.
Angel: Yeah, it raised dozens upon dozens of egg clutches, which would end up hatching hundreds of thousands of Hyper Gyaos! And who could possibly stop these Shadows of Evil?
Tabashi: Godzilla, the—no wait, wrong script! (flips through the script) Gamera, the Guardian of the Universe! Gamera began going on a bloody quest, relentlessly hunting and killing several dozen Hyper Gyaos (at the cost of many human lives), but he's not the focus of today's analysis. His ultimate foe is. But first, let's go back to the beginning.
Angel: In the small village of Asuka, Nara, there was a family line by the name of Moribe that guarded a stone egg. According to their legends, the egg housed a demon by the name of "Ryuseicho". (But of course, that wasn't what was in there.) Apparently, there's also a stone of unknown origin that will keep the creature dormant as long as it's not moved.
Tabashi: Unfortunately, a young girl named Ayana Hirasaka (who was orphaned after her parents were killed during Gamera's fight with Gyaos in 1995) was dared to enter the cave in which the stone was kept, and moved it. Long story short, she ended up finding the egg, which hatched into the first of the three—formed Kaiju not everyone knows, but the ones who do love.
Angel: Enter Iris(/Irys), the Tentacled Terror. This guy stands 3 feet (1 meter) tall and 7 feet (2 meters) long in his first form, as well as 8 feet (2.5 meters) tall and 16 feet (5 meters) long in his second form. And for the grand prize, in his third (and final) form, Iris stands 325 feet (99 meters) tall, and has a tentacle length of 6,558 feet (1,999 meters, or 1.999 kilometers). On a side note, Iris can join his tentacles together to make wings, which have a wingspan of 656 feet (199.9 meters). In addition, Iris weighs 50 kilograms (110lbs, or 0.05 metric tons) in his first form, 300 kilograms (661lbs, or 0.3 metric tons) in his second form, and 199 metric tons in his third form.
Tabashi: ...This guy has too damn many stats. Anyways, after a while, Iris grew to his third form, and headed to Kyoto, where he was intercepted mid—flight by Gamera. But since those JSDF morons thought Gamera was their enemy, they shot at him instead of Iris, allowing the Tentacled Terror to continue on to Kyoto.
Angel: Gamera and Iris dueled savagely throughout the city, and Iris actually seemed to be winning until he tried to absorb Ayana for...reasons. Then, Ayana saw the error of her ways, prompting Gamera to get BEYOND pissed! He used the Lashing Claw to rip Ayana out of Iris' chest, and then (after both getting his forearm amputated and absorbing the Overboost Plasma Fireballs Iris had fired after absorbing GAMERA'S DNA) used his fiery falcon fist of fury to cause Iris to erupt into flames and explode. Then, to add insult to death, Gamera stomped on Iris' dead, smoking carcass.
Tabashi: But Iris was still the ultimate foe of the Gamera franchise for a damn good reason, so let's take a look at his abilities. The bioluminescent area in the center of his chest is called the Gene Snatcher, which can absorb targets for fusion. This was the thing he tried to absorb Ayana into. Iris also has his four long—as—hell tentacles, called Tentaclancers, that are tipped in sharpened, arrow—shaped tips which can be used for stabbing.
Angel: From these Tentaclancers, Iris can use the Anti—Plasma Field, where he simply swats projectiles away via the Tentaclancers. Also, he can drain the blood of other organisms to absorb their DNA, copying their abilities. This can also be done with those sick arm blades, called Spear Absorbers.
Tabashi: A technique I can only describe as "DNA Emulation". Oh, also, upon emulating Gamera's DNA, Iris could fire the Overboost Plasma (or simply Fake Plasma), which are just fake versions of Gamera's Plasma Fireballs. However, Iris won't be able to use that today. Anyways, Iris can (as we mentioned earlier) join his tentacles together, creating wings that can be used to casually fly at Mach 9 (6,905mph). By factoring in this speed as well as his 199—metric ton weight, we found Iris' Kinetic Energy to be around 227 tons of TNT.
Angel: Iris can open up the end of his Tentaclancers and fire the same Super Sonic Scalpel as the Gyaos can, except it's actually superior in power. Remember, the SSS fired by the Gyaos can reach 3,000,000 hertz at least, and easily tore through Gamera's flesh. Now let's try to calculate the power of Gyaos' SSS in the Heisei Trilogy, since we all know that's where this is heading.
Tabashi: With pleasure. Remember our little equation for Godzilla vs. Legion, when we calculated the lowest low—end possibility for the power output of the Mana Canon? Well, guess what? That equation's comin' back with a vengeance! If you remember, the equation was F · H · B = C, where F=Plasma Fireball, H=High Plasma, B=Banishing/Vanishing Fist, and C=Mana Canon. Well, this time, the equation is F · H · 2 = B, since the fiery falcon fist is at least twice as strong as the Fireballs.
Angel: See, the Kaiju in the Gamera Trilogy possess Chromosomal Adaptation, which means they can adapt to become stronger over time. After staying up for 3 days STRAIGHT with absolutely NO sleep whatsoever, we came to the conclusion that Gamera himself gets twice as strong with each progressing film in the Trilogy.
Tabashi: Since Gamera survived that 129.3697 Megaton—1.03496 Gigaton Legion Flower exploding, this brings our equation to 258.7394 · 120% · 2 = B on the lower high—end and 2.06992 · 120% · 2 = B on the higher high—end. So we can get the highest possible output, we will be assuming this is not an overestimation of Gamera's power. Now, the TL;DR of all of it is this: 620.97456 Megatons—4.967808 Gigatons (or 621 Megatons—5 Gigatons) of TNT.
Angel: Damn, that's a lot of firepower! Too bad that's bullshit now!
Tabashi: Yup, because the Mana Canon finally has a power output. If you remember, the power output is 989.32 Gigatons of TNT PER SECOND, and Mother Legion survived that blast for 14—18 seconds. However, Gamera survived that blast COMING OUT OF HIS STOMACH for 20 SECONDS! Thus, Gamera survived around 20 Teratons of TNT in total. But guess what? In the very next movie (in which Gamera was twice as strong as he was in Gamera 2: Attack of the Legion, which translates to about 40 Teratons of TNT), Iris' Spear Absorbers were able to pierce straight THROUGH that same area on Gamera's underbelly! Coincidence? HELL NO!
Angel: Okay, calm down there! Back on track, though, Iris' Super Sonic Scalpels can, thanks to having four Tentaclancers, can be fired in four different directions at once. Also, they might be the most powerful weapon in the Gamera Trilogy, since they not only pierced Gamera's flesh, but his shell, too. Iris also has a tough carapace on his back that is very similar to Gamera's, as it can protect him (and seemingly almost every other spot of his body) from most attacks.
Tabashi: Speaking of durability, let's talk about Iris' feats, which are actually more numerous than you may think. Iris has fought gamera twice, won the first time, and almost won the second time. Also, apparently the two Titans dueled for hours the second time, so Iris has very high stamina. His Super Sonic Scalpels were able to tear through Gamera's flesh and shell, and by that point he'd adapted to completely resist a direct strike from Hyper Gyaos' Hyper Sonic Scalpel. And Hyper Gyaos is the ultimate form of the Gyaos (NOT Super Gyaos, contrary to popular belief)!
Angel: But as powerful as he is, Iris still has some weaknesses...which are...actually, what the hell ARE Iris' weaknesses!?
Tabashi: Well, it hasn't been explicitly stated what Iris' weaknesses are. At first glance, it seems that Iris doesn't have any weaknesses.
Angel: However, we didn't give up so easily! Upon deeper investigation, we found three major weaknesses. First, the Gene Snatcher seems to be the only spot on Iris' body that's vulnerable compared to the rest of it. This was shown when Gamera successfully used a Lashing Claw to take Ayana out of the Gene Snatcher.
Tabashi: Second, Iris' Tentaclancers (well, the tentacles themselves, anyway) seem to be able to be cut off rather easily. Third (and perhaps the worst weakness of all), Iris does NOT have any regeneration.
Angel: Don't confuse adaptation with regeneration, people!
Tabashi: And finally, his second—biggest weakness. Iris, once he enacts the DNA Emulation technique and gets stronger, seems to gain an unquenchable lust for more, as he tried to grow stronger by absorbing more energy via fusing with Ayana. Other than that, not much else can be inferred about Iris' weaknesses.
Angel: But even if you were frickin' Gigan, I'd beware the ultimate foe of the Gamera Trilogy that is the Tentacled Terror, Iris!
Death Battle![]
Tabashi: All righty then. The combatants are set, and we've run the data through all possibilities. Let's end this debate once and for all.
Angel: It's time for a Death Battle!
Pre-Fight[]
Asuka, Nara
The village of Asuka was living peacefully. The summers were hot and the springs were wet, bringing them plenty of good crops. But best of all, Iris, the Kaiju the villagers had to be so terrified of should he be unleashed, was dead. He was killed by Gamera in 1999, and Gamera then stomped on his head, to ensure death. Indeed, Iris was gone.
Or so the villagers thought.
Of course, the Iris that fought Gamera was indeed gone, but there was another sealed away, a contingency plan for the backup plan in case Gamera turned on the Earth. But today, the villagers would be glad there was another Iris, for when the ground started rumbling, the villagers knew it could only be one thing: a Kaiju burrowing up towards the surface. When the Kaiju finally burst out of the ground, it was revealed to be an enormous, Beetle—like monster, with giant drills for hands. This was Megalon, the killer driller Kaiju, and he was here on one mission: destroy any of Atlantis' creations he encountered.
See, the Seatopians had always had a rivalry with the Atlanteans, because they wanted to be the first to create life. However, the Seatopians never did learn how, and they started a war with Atlantis over it. Eventually, they came upon Megalon, and decided to "clean up Atlantis' mess" by ridding the world of their creations. So now, Megalon was sent by his masters to destroy the one called Iris, but Megalon (being the dumbest Kaiju in history) decided to follow the fleeing humans instead. Maybe they'll lead me straight to this Iris creature, he thought.
It turns out, though, that the fleeing villagers DID, in a way, lead Megalon to Iris. It turns out that the cave some of the villagers chose to hide in was the exact same cave Iris had been living in. And when you wake up the Tentacled Terror from his slumber, may God help you.
Megalon was about to destroy the cave via some Geothermal Napalm Bullets when the cave suddenly exploded upwards. Megalon jumped back a kilometer in sheer surprise, and was even more surprised to see another Kaiju rising out up out of the ground. It had a humanoid—like build, two enormous blades for hands, and four EXTREMELY long tentacles. This was Iris, the Tentacled Terror, and he was NOT pleased to see Megalon in his territory. Iris promptly got into a battle stance, his Tentaclancers hovering menacingly both above him and at his sides. Megalon realized that this Kaiju must be Iris, and promptly prepared himself for battle as well.
Iris made the first move, shooting his Tentaclancers out at Megalon. Megalon jumped forward a few hundred feet, avoiding the Tentaclancers and crashing right into Iris. Iris then swung one of his Spear Absorbers at Megalon, but the Driller Kaiju blocked it with one of his drill arms. Iris turned his Tentaclancers around, planning on impaling them into Megalon's back while he's occupied. Iris and Megalon got into a sword fight of sorts, with one thrusting his arm appendage in an attempt to impale the other, only for the other to instantly counter with a block and thrust.
Suddenly, though, Megalon felt a sharp pain in his back, and turned his head to find all four Tentaclancers lodged deep in his shell, and to make matters worse, Iris started absorbing Megalon's DNA. Megalon then did something unexpected in order to get the Tentaclancers out of his back: he jumped high into the air. Ten kilometres up Megalon traveled, and since Iris' Tentaclancers were only 1/5 that size, he was along for the ride, too. Iris knew he needed to spread his wings if he was to stay alive, so he was forced to take his Tentaclancers out of Megalon's back. Iris then formed his Tentaclancers into wings, and flew around Megalon, who also started using his wings.
The two Titans then began an aerial battle, moving towards Tokyo, but because Iris is 3x faster, Megalon suddenly found himself overwhelmed by the Tentacled Terror's attacks. And it certainly didn't help that Iris was now able to create the Beast Killer Overboost Beam, or Laser Beast Overboost Beam (a fake Beast Killer Laser Beam, or Laser Beast Killer Beam), which visibly injured Megalon. However, Megalon had a few more tricks up his drill—handed arms. Megalon spit out 26 Geothermal Napalm Bullets (forming a complete circle around him), and two of them hit Iris square in the Gene Snatcher. Iris was sent reeling back, allowing Megalon to gain the upper hand by getting on top of Iris.
Megalon then proceeded to repeatedly punch Iris' head with his drill hands, causing the Tentacled Terror to fade in and out of consciousness. But just before Megalon could land the final, fatal blow, the two crashed into Tokyo Bay. Megalon had been so stupid that he didn't bother checking to see if they were going to crash land!
Tokyo Bay
Tokyo Bay was a mess. There was a flood going on due to the tidal waves, and Megalon and Iris were seemingly knocked unconscious by the sheer impact. Citizens who weren't drowned instantly by the flood gazed down at the two Titans from their rooftops. It seemed as if this was yet another d—
Megalon: RRAAIINNNGGRRRRR!!!!!!!
Megalon suddenly stirred, getting back to his feet. Iris was just coming to, though, so he wasn't prepared for when Megalon grabbed him by the throat and spat a Geothermal Napalm Bullet in his face. Iris roared out in pain, and retaliated by stabbing Megalon's legs with his Spear Absorbers. Megalon shrieked in agony, and combined his drill hands into one giant drill, stabbing Iris with it. Iris tried to stop it by firing his Super Sonic Scalpels from the Tentaclancers, but it was all in vain as Megalon rammed his giant drill straight into Iris' Gene Snatcher, causing Iris to roar in pain and take out the Spear Absorbers.
Iris knew he needed a plan, so he decided to take to the skies. Megalon could barely stand anymore, but his legs were slowly healing. Seconds after Iris spread his wings and flew towards downtown Tokyo, Megalon spread his wings and followed after the Tentacled Terror.
Tokyo, Japan
Iris reached the city of Tokyo mere seconds before Megalon did, and when Megalon arrived, Iris let him have it. Iris stabbed Megalon with all four Tentaclancers, and the God of Seatopia could do nothing as the Tentaclancers zipped, stabbed, and slashed at his skin. Megalon roared out in pain and attempted to drill through Iris' Gene Snatcher. However, Iris quickly stopped that via his Spear Absorbers. Megalon and Iris reignited their previous blade vs drill fight, and started heading into the downtown area of Tokyo.
Downtown Tokyo
The downtown section of Tokyo is still ravaged from the previous battles that had occurred there, but at least a few dozen construction crews are working on lifting up two Kaiju corpses that had been lying there, decomposing, for seemingly forever. These two corpses were King Ghidorah and Guiron, of course, and they were not looking good.
The Teen, Deadpool, and The Mask are at the site of King Ghidorah's smoking carcass, as well as Guiron's headless corpse.
Teen: (While staring at the remains of King Ghidorah) Man, it feels like that happened a year ago, doesn't it? (Winks at the camera)
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, the Teen thought he saw something. It looked like a chicken with arms was fighting an overgrown bat.
Teen: Hey, Mask, can I borrow your telescope?
The Mask: Sure! (Pulls a telescope out of his pants) Here you go!
Teen: Thanks.
The Teen looks through the telescope, and his hunch was right. It was Gigan fighting Gyaos, with Gigan's eye laser and Gyaos' Super Sonic Scalpel seemingly being evenly matched.
Teen: Oh my God! Guys, there's a fight going on up there! We gotta get up there!
Deadpool: (Nervously) Uh, Teen? I think we're needed down here more!
The Teen looked in the direction Deadpool was pointing, and saw a giant Beetle fighting a... well, the Teen couldn't come up with a good analogy for just what it was.
Teen: Oh boy. (Sighs heavily) This Season's gonna be a cramped one, isn't it?
The Mask: Well, what do we do? I mean, we can't do two fights at once! It's impossible!
Teen: Actually, (his eyes suddenly turn into glazed—white pupils) it is not.
Meanwhile, Megalon and Iris were still duking it out. For every time Megalon would try to stab Iris' skin, the Tentacled Terror would impale him with one of his Tentaclancers. Iris was slowly gaining the upper appendage, and before Megalon knew it, all four Tentaclancers were lodged into the Seatopian God's stomach. Megalon knew what was coming next, and tried to counter by drilling into Iris' skin, but the Tentacled Terror had had enough. With one last glare, Iris extended his Spear Absorbers... STRAIGHT THROUGH MEGALON'S BRAIN! The Seatopian God's head exploded, causing bug juice to rain down on the downtown section of Tokyo.
Iris retracted his Spear Absorbers, and stabbed them (as well as all of his Tentaclancers) into Megalon's body, hoping to absorb his energy before it was gone.
Teen: Holy f@#k! That was brutal, even for Iris!
Deadpool: I hope all the kills will be as gory as this!
Results[]
Angel: God in Heaven, are we REALLY starting off the season with a kill that bloody?
Tabashi: Yeah, I thought it would be a good idea. Why, do you not like it?
Angel: Are you kidding me? I love it!
Tabashi: Oh, good, because I've got much better kills planned! Anyways, this fight was actually not as close as you may think. See, while Megalon was obviously the stronger of the two and TECHNICALLY had the better range, Iris took pretty much everything else.
Angel: Okay, maybe saying Megalon has the superior range is a bit much. See, Iris has the REACH advantage thanks to his Tentaclancers (which are 1,999 meters, or 6,558.4 feet long), but that's just slightly less than 1/5 of what Megalon can jump (10 kilometers, or 32,808.4 feet). So for the sake of an argument, let's just say that Megalon held the advantage.
Tabashi: But no way in HELL was Megalon going to gain the speed advantage!! I mean, sure, Megalon can fly at Mach 3, but Iris is 3x faster, being able to casually fly at Mach 9! And do we even need to discuss intelligence? I mean, Iris ain't exactly the brightest bulb on the Hanukkah Tree, but he's a HELL of a lot smarter than Megalon, who is arguably the dumbest Kaiju in history! But surely Megalon would be able to edge out in destructive capacity and durability, right? I mean, it's always been that way, right?
Angel: Well, not quite. And also, Iris technically blew Megalon out of the water in D.C. and durability. See, Gamera survived having 20 Teratons of TNT blowing out of his stomach, right? Well, since Gamera gets twice as strong in the Heisei Trilogy (and also since Iris' Spear Absorbers managed to pierce STRAIGHT THROUGH the very spot where Gamera used his Mana Canon), this translates Gamera's durability to 40 Teratons of TNT.
Tabashi: And Megalon's best scaling feat didn't stack up to that at all! Megalon fought the Showa Godzilla, who fought King Ghidorah twice. That version of the Three—Headed Monster was able to shake Venus, a feat that yielded 883—935 Gigatons of TNT. Impressive, but still 43—45x weaker than Iris' capabilities. And even if we erroneously said that Gamera DIDN'T get twice as strong, and that his durability was still 20 Teratons of TNT, it wouldn't matter, since Iris would still be 21.4—23x stronger.
Angel: But we decide to give Megalon the benefit of the doubt, and scale him to the Showa Era that was featured in Destroy All Monsters. Why? Because it STILL DOESN'T MATTER!!! Because 8—8.4 Teratons is STILL 5x weaker than Iris. And if you want the closest possible outcome (8—8.4 Teratons vs. 20 Teratons), it's 2.4—2.5x weaker than Iris. So there wasn't any way in which Megalon had the destructive capacity and durability advantages.
Tabashi: Not to mention that Iris could just absorb some of Megalon's DNA and create all sorts of new Overboost abilities. Thus, Megalon had strength, but that wasn't enough to counter Iris' speed, durability, destructive capacity, and DNA Emulation.
Angel: In the end, Iris drilled this information into Megalon's head.
Tabashi: The winner is Iris.
Next Time, Baby![]
Tabashi: Next time on Death Battle!
During the fight between Megalon and Iris, the Teen, Deadpool, and The Mask were off to the Teen's storage place he had put a load of strange gear in.
Teen: Well, here we are. My gear's home away from home. I can't believe no one's discovered it yet!
And it was truly unbelievable. The storage unit did hold some wacky gear, as well as a suspicious—looking glass cube that appeared to house an entire—
Teen: Hey, stop describing my prized possession! We need to have SOMETHING left ambiguous for a while!
Oh... uh, sorry. Anyway, Deadpool and The Mask looked around, while the Teen started grabbing equipment.
Teen: Hey, Deadpool! Take this! You're going to need it if we all want to get up there!
Deadpool: (Looks at the equipment, now revealed to be an Avengers: Endgame—esque suit) And just what the hell is this thing supposed to be?
Teen: It's a flight suit. It allows you to fly, and it even attaches wires to your handheld weapons so you don't lose them! Nifty, huh?
The Mask: And what do I get for this tri—
Suddenly, there was a loud crash outside the storage unit. The ground was still trembling from the impact, but the two causes of said impact were already back up in the sky, trying to outmaneuver each other. The Teen knew that they needed to get up there quick, so he activated Deadpool's suit's flight, and flew off after him. The Mask leapt after them, wondering why he had been left out.
Gigan vs. Gyaos! Check it out now!
Trivia[]
- The connection between Megalon and Iris is that they both have no hands, instead having blade-like weapons. Also, both of them were worshiped by ancient civilizations.
