Description[]
Shrek VS The Chronicles Of Narnia! These 2 animals have been enemies since the begging of time but these combatants are both excellent sword fighters so will Reepicheep manage to avoid becoming Puss in boots next meal?
Intro[]
Wiz: DC VS Marvel, Pokemon VS Digimon, Naruto VS Bleach, Disney VS Dreamworks, and Star Wars VS Star Trek are all huge rivalries that have gone on for years but one rivalry stands over all the rest. These 2 animals have been enemies since the dawn of time and some of their species never-ending battles are known throughout the multiverses. I am of course talking about cats and mice.
Boomstick: Seriously? You are joking right?
Wiz: It may seem ridiculous at first but when todays 2 combatants enter the ring and show of their skills, you will have your answer.
Boomstick: Puss In Boots, The Bounty Hunter of Far Far Away
Wiz: and Reepicheep, The Mouse That Traveled to Aslans Country.
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
Puss In Boots[]
Wiz: Far far away in a distant land there lays a great kingdom filled with many myths and legends that exceed expectation. This great kingdom goes by the name of…..…..Far Far Away. Outside this unoriginal named kingdom however there is a pub by the name of The Poison Apple where the vilest of villains spend their days drinking and causing mischief.
Boomstick: One of this pubs most infamous visitors is a bounty hunter whose name is feared throughout the land. He is deadly with a blade in combat and so quick that you won’t have known what hit you until it is too late. This description is pretty badass but it just too perplexing sometimes to understand how this bounty hunter of a cat can have gotten so well-known.
Wiz: He might not be what you expect an bounty hunter to be but Puss In Boots has definitely earned his outlaw title and right to be the tetartagonist of the Shrek franchise having taken part in many wild adventures through the years.
Boomstick: This little kitty cat has visited a lot of places, like the giants castle in the sky and the Fairy Godmothers factory, and has fought a variety of enemies such as knights, fairytale villains and even Shrek himself throughout his career. In my eye, this guy is a far better animal sidekick than the Eddie Murphy donkey ever was.
Wiz: Even when he was just a child, Puss managed to defeat a large bull singlehandedly and survive a drop from a bridge located several meters above the ground. His achievements only grew from there.
Boomstick: Speaking of his past, why does he wear boots anyway?
Wiz: It was actually the incident with the bull that gave him his boots as well as his sword and hat. To go more in detail, we must look at the origin of Puss In Boots. Puss grew up at an orphanage in the Spanish town of San Ricardo along with his best friend Humpty Dumpty.
Boomstick: Hold on a minute! Are you saying that a talking cat and an egg with arms and legs both grew up in the same town and not one of the townspeople even raised an eyebrow at this?
Wiz: It’s not that strange since giant dragons, talking donkeys, and people who can change reality with magical contracts exists in this world.
Boomstick: That’s true. That world is just so bonkers crazy after all.
Wiz: As to what I tried to say before; Puss and Humpty were obsessed with finding the magical beans that would take them to the giant’s castle and the golden goose. They spent most of their youth stealing as many beans as they could. This gave the two a bad reputation but everything changed for Puss when he saved an old lady from being run over by a bull. He became the town hero overnight and as a reward he received his signature boots, sword, and hat.
Boomstick: It all went to hell though after Humpty, out of jealousy, tricked Puss into committing a bank robbery forcing the cat to flee from his home and be branded an outlaw. It was during his time away that Puss became who he is today: a swashbuckling “ladies” cat voiced by Antonio Banderas of all people.
Wiz: Puss is a very capable swordsman. He is easily able to defeat opponents much larger than he is with his excellent sword skills and incredible agility. He practically dances around his foes until they give him a very good opening that he can strike at with maximum precision.
Boomstick: Even if we take away his sword, this kitty has many more tricks up his claws. Literally as he fights both with his claws and sword in battle. Seeing as his claws are sharp enough to cut glass, you don’t want to step on this cat’s tail.
Wiz: None of these are his most dangers weapon however. In reality, Puss has something up his sleeve which paralyze and hypnotizes his opponents in their tracks giving him the perfect opportunity to finish them off. He has used this skill of his many times to get out of sticky situations.
Boomstick: There is no way that this cat can do that to me. I am ready with my shotgun so.. (Sees an image of Puss cute face complete with his adorable big eyes)… Ah you’re so cute that I could just kidnap you and take you home……….… Dam it. I got myself caught in his cute kitty maneuver.
Wiz: While taking off his hat and giving his opponents a long stare with his big eyes does not seem that dangerous at first, its cute nature is almost impossible not to awe at and this has cost a lot of people their lives. It’s one of Puss most dangerous skills for a reason.
Boomstick: When you think about it, Puss is kind of superhuman in what he has accomplished. He has climbed a huge beanstalk into the sky, jumped from building to building with ease, been buried alive and gotten out without a scratch, and, most absurdly, he has climbed on top of a giant goose and led it out of San Ricardo. It’s no wonder he got back the support of the townspeople. He is a freaking super-cat.
Wiz: Like most heroes though, Puss has one fatal flaw which has nearly gotten him killed at several occasions and it makes itself apparent when you realize what Puss is.
Boomstick: Puss is a cat and therefore shares several things in common with the rest of his species. He hates water and can easily be distracted by small lights on the ground. But that’s not even the worst thing. That would be the hairballs that he can cough up at any time therefore making him an easy target. That was how Shrek beat him after all. At least he doesn’t go around clawing at the walls and pooping wherever he pleases like my own cat so that’s something.
Wiz: He also has a habit of being overrun when dueling several opponents at once. Do not make the mistake of underestimating this cat though because of his flaws. He has defeated a lot of powerful opponents and Shrek would have joined them in the afterlife if it weren’t for the fact of unfortunate timing for Puss and the ogre being protected by plot armor.
Boomstick: I kind of wish that Shrek would have gone bye bye there so that we could have avoided the train wreck that was Shrek The Third.
Wiz: Never get in his way when he is on a mission if you don’t want to feel the cold steel of the sword of Puss in Boots around your throat.
Puss in Boots: You made the cat angry. You do not want to make the cat angry!
Reepicheep[]
Wiz: Boomstick do you know what kind of animals a lion most appreciates?
Boomstick: Elephants because they have a lot of meat on their fat bones I guess.
Wiz: Wrong. The correct answer is mice.
Boomstick: Huh? How does that make any sense?
Wiz: It does if you account the fact it was mice that gnawed through the binds that kept Aslan trapped at the stone table. As a reward for helping him, Aslan give the mice the ability to speak
Boomstick: The Jesus Lion? Now I get what you were getting at Wiz. Does that mean what I think it does?
Wiz: Yes it does Boomstick. It’s time to return to the magical world of Narnia where talking animals exist everywhere and magic flows through all the land. We will however focus on the mice we mentioned before and, more importantly, their descendants.
Boomstick: They all inherited the ability Aslan bestowed the originals and passed the same ability on to the future generations. One however would prove himself more awesome than the others as he took part in Narnian Revolution against the Telmarines where he proved to be a killing machine. I can’t say the same about his name as it just sucks.
Wiz: Reepicheep is not that weird. We have seen much stranger names on this show before. Anyway, Reepicheep grew up in the woods where he was raised by a dryad and later became the leader of the talking mice of Narnia. When the kings of old arrived to help Prince Caspian reclaim his throne, Reepicheep swore his alliance to them. He was an instrumental player in reclaiming the country to the Narnians.
Boomstick: His skill with a sword definitely contributed to that. Even though he is only freaking 2 feet tall, he can easily overwhelm creatures 5 times larger than him. Those vanquished by this mighty mouse must be feeling shameful in their graves to have lost to a mouse of all things.
Wiz: The height difference is a problem though. He can most certainly parry the big swords coming his way and pierce his opponent’s armor due to the blade of his rapier sword is made of dwarf-tempered steel which is a strong kind of metal found in Narnia but because of his height he is unable to reach the areas where his sword would do most damage. Reppisheep have fortunately many strategies to overcome this problem
Boomstick: One way is using stealth which Reepicheep is a master off. He easily led an army of Mice into Miraz castle and opened the drawbridge without raising the alarm. Due to his shortness, Reep can get into places where normal people can’t and also keep himself hidden long enough, in high grass as an example, for him to assassinate his opponent.
Wiz: Another is bringing his opponents down to size by attacking their legs making them fall down to his level so he can give them the final blow. He can also climb up their bodies and stab them for maximum damage. The most effective way though is how he uses his tail to ensnare his opponent’s feet and making them fall to the ground with loud thud.
Boomstick: That the least of what this mouse can accomplish with his tail Wiz. It’s as if the tail has a life of its own. It can freaking grab stuff to help out Reep when he is in a pinch like his sword if he somehow loses it in battle and like Wiz pointed out before, it can be used to great effect both in combat and stealth to humiliate anyone that pissed this mouse of.
Wiz: His short height might be a weakness and Reepicheep has found way to counter it but it also gives him a couple of advantages in battle as well. Due him being short, he is very hard to actually hit. When you add his incredible agility, it makes one wonder if this mouse is invincible or not.
Boomstick: The answer is no as he does have a rather serious flaw other than his height. It doesn’t seem that way though when you look at his feats. He made it out of the battle at Aslan How without a scratch and only lost his tail in the process which Aslan gave back to him moments later which meant that he impressed a god so much with his bravery that he got a freebie. That’s just plain awesome.
Wiz: He also once rode Eustace dragon form into battle against a sea serpent and he had no problem keeping his balance as he scurried across the reptilian body.
Boomstick: Now Im even more jealous. He gets a favor from the jesus lion AND gets to ride a freaking dragon. That’s not fair. I want to do that too.
Wiz: Even his greatest weakness doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal at first either but when you look closer; you can see why it is Reepicheeps honor and loyalty that is his greatest flaw.
Boomstick: The mouse actually takes his honor to seriously for some reason. He also always keeps his word. Having some honor I guess is a good thing but this guy takes it to an extreme as he outright refuses to fight an unarmed man. Even Aslan pointed this out to him in the books which Wiz read. I mainly kept to the movies.
Wiz: Neither is he afraid to die for his cause as he is convinced that he will go to Aslans country once he passes away. This can make him a bit reckless in certain situations.
Boomstick: Aslans country? Don’t you mean this worlds version of heaven?
Wiz: Exactly. Reepicheeps dream was to travel to the country where Aslan lives and after having crossed the sea along with the rest of the crew of the Dawn Treader; Aslan allowed Reepicheep to enter his country therefore allowing the mouse to fulfil his dream.
Boomstick: I bet he is glad now that he didn’t need to die. If he had and not gotten there, I fear what he would have done to his fellow afterlife companions for life.
Wiz: Reepicheep is definitely a mouse no cat wants to mess with.
Reepicheep: Unhand the tail. Aslan the Great gave me this tail and no one, repeat, no one, touches the tail. Period, exclamation mark!
Intermission[]
Wiz: All right, the combatants are set, it's time to end this debate once and for all!
Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!
Death Battle![]
Shreks Swamp:
For once, Shrek’s swamp was quiet. With Donkey away visiting the dragon, Shrek and Fiona having a picnic farther into the swamp, and the babies sleeping soundly in their cribs; no sound could be heard from inside Shrek’s house. At the moment only one (excluding the sleeping babies) person was inside but he was sleeping on the floor.
Besides him were a couple of leather boots, a sword, and a hat decorated with a fluffy yellow feather. He looked like any regular cat with a cape strapped to his back but to those who knew of his reputation; he was a force to be reckoned with. The cats name was Puss In Boots.
Meanwhile outside the house, an intruder had just entered the swamp. It looked like a normal mouse but at closer inspection one could see the sword in his hand and a crimson feather on his head. This was by no means a normal mouse. At the moment, the mouse seemed both agitated and confused for some reason.
Reepicheep: This can’t be Aslans Country. I must have chosen the wrong current as this place is too dirty to be home of the great lion. Also why is my sword back in my possession? I don’t have any need for it anymore after all.
Lost in his thoughts, Reepicheep didn’t realize he had entered Shreks house until he accidently stepped in what was left of the ogre-babies’ “lunch”.
Reepicheep: Yuck! This place reeks even more than a Telmarine and that’s saying something. I wonder if anyone is home. If they are, I shall apologize for insulting their humble abode and ask where I am.
The mouse proceeded to explore his new surroundings but unfortunately he didn’t find anyone to ask about his whereabouts. Puss, who was sleeping under the bed, went unnoticed by Reepicheep. The babies did not however escape the mouse keen eyes.
As Reepicheep climbed a chair to reach the babies cribs, Puss tail began shake back and forward. The cat was about to wake up any second now.
Reepicheep: Ugly things these ogres are although I’m glad that they are not full-grown at the moment and trying to crush me. Wonder where their parents are?
Puss eyes opened up right as Reepicheep leaned over the babies sleeping forms with his sword still drawn trying to get a closer look. Without any hesitation. Puss came running out from bellow the bed and grabbed all of his things before jumping towards Reepicheep with his sword drawn in less than 5 seconds.
Reepicheep managed to parry just in time to prevent himself from being sliced in two but the sheer momentum of the cats body colliding with his sent both of them crashing through the nearest window and onto the ground.
Puss in Boots: Don’t you dare touch the boss’s children mouse or you shall feel the cold steel of my blade.
Reepicheep: I weren’t going to touch them even if they smell like sewage. Fighting an opponent that can’t fight back is not honorable in the slightest.
Puss In Boots: I don’t believe you but if it is an skilled opponent that you seek; you have found one.
The mouse did not even look the slightest impressed as Puss readied his sword for battle. In fact, Reepicheep had an amused expression on his face as he began to circle around Puss with his sword. This annoyed Puss very much. Not only had this fiend entered the boss home uninvited and swung a sword only a couple of millimeters above the babies innocent faces but the mouse had also now insulted Puss swordsmanship.
It was time to teach this rat a lesson.
Puss In Boots: Are you ready mouse? I shall not hold back just because your puny size.
Reepicheep: Don’t you dare pity me cat! I may have just come here for directions but Aslans Country can wait some more for my arrival. I have a cat with an ego problem to take care of first. En Garde!
With that, Reepicheep charged Puss. The battle between the legendary sword wielding animals was about to begin.
FIGHT!
As their swords clashed against each other, sparks began to appear around the 2 animals. Puss and Reepicheep didn’t notice however due to the intensity of their fight. They were like 2 destructive forces of nature pushing against each other as the parried and attacked with their swords. The battle had just started and already the tension was high in the air.
Puss tried to stab Reepicheep but the mouse easily evaded the blade and then went in for a counterattack. Puss tried to block with his sword but cursed mentally as his sword had gotten itself stuck in the ground due to his latest attempt to slice Reep. The mouse definitely used this chance to his advantage.
Reepicheep: Now I’ve got you cat!
Puss however had other ideas as he parried Reepicheeps sword with his own claws. This caught the mouse off-guard and gave Puss the opportunity to grab the sword and throw it into the bushes behind him. He couldn’t slash Reep however in time as the mouse quickly dodged and then ran through the opening between his legs and into the thick grass surrounding the swamp to reclaim his sword.
Before running after him, Puss dragged his own sword out of the ground and licked his paws where he had caught Reepicheeps sword. He then ran into the thick grass searching for a sign of his opponent. The mouse however could be anywhere.
Puss In Boots: You claim to have honor mouse but you still run and hide instead of confronting me. That’s the way of a coward and not a warrior.
That comment caused a fuming Reepicheep to finally take action. Using the grass to his advantage, Puss did not realize his presence until it was too late. The cat let out a shriek of pain as he felt Reepicheep stab his legs repeatedly. Puss slashed his sword where the mouse had just been but it just hit empty air as Reepicheep had already retreated back into the grass and was currently planning another sneak attack. Puss was unable to stop that attack as well.
Puss In Boots: Enough! Let’s take this somewhere else amigo.
Before Reepicheep could initiate another sneak attack, Puss Jumped high into the air and used his claws to grab the side of a tree. He then began to climb as quickly as he could up the tree to the highest branch. Reepicheep was only a couple of seconds after him so when Puss feet touched the branch; he at once turned around and parried Reeps blade.
Reepicheep: You can’t escape me cat especially since you insulted my honor of a warrior. That was a big mistake.
Puss In Boots: Come and get me then if you dare.
Reepicheep answered the challenge with flying colors as he threw himself at Puss. He ducked under Puss blade and then quickly ran up his legs and onto the cats back dragging out a lot of fur in the process. Before Reepicheep could stab Puss in his neck, the cat managed to grab Reep by the tail and proceeded to throw him down to the ground below.
Puss In Boots: Sayonara mouse.
The battle did not end there though as Reepicheeps tail managed to grab onto the nearest branch. He quickly used his momentum to get up on the branch. Puss in response jumped elegantly down from his branch and onto Reppicheeps.
Puss In Boots: You’re lucky. I will give you that.
Reepicheep: It’s not luck. It’s something that you actually lack: skills and discipline.
Enraged, Puss swung his sword towards Reepicheep with as much force as he could muster. Reepicheep barely managed to parry it in time before Puss charged at him again with his sword. The attack pushed Reepicheep back and almost made him lose his balance and fall to the ground below. This gave Reep very little time to dodge Puss next attack.
He managed to avoid being sliced in 2 but it came at a price. His tail was no longer where it was supposed to be. It was currently impacting with the mud below.
Reepicheep: First you dared touch my tail and now you slice it in two. The tail that Aslan gave me all those years ago…….. YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THAT!
Surprised by his opponent sudden ferociousness, Puss was unable to defend himself from Reepicheeps barrage of attacks. He tried to defend himself with his sword but due to the mouse size; he kept missing his target. Before puss could react, Reeps sword found itself embedded in his stomach. Next he knew Reepicheep had climbed up his body and punched him so hard in the face that Puss found himself losing his balance and falling of the branch. He made sure though to take Reep with him.
Both of them hit the ground with a thud. Luckily the large amount of mud cushioned their fall. Puss quickly removed Reeps sword from his body and then proceeded throw the sword as far away as he could. Reepicheep managed to climb up the cats arm though and grab his sword before jumping down into the mud. The mouse didn’t manage to get enough distance from the cat however as Reepicheep found himself sent into the air by a well-aimed boot to the face.
Puss In Boots: That’s for soaking my boots in mud mouse. It will take weeks to get rid of the stench.
Reepicheep: A couple of boots is nothing compared to what you’ve taken from me cat!
Puss in Boots: That tail was rather important to you eh? If you valued that tail as much as I value my boots; I’m sorry for taking it from you but that don’t mean I will let you win this duel.
Reepicheep: Apology accepted. Now let’s finish this!
Their swords once again clashed against each other. For a while neither opponent managed to get an advantage over the other. They were at a stalemate meaning for the moment; they were equally as skilled in swordsmanship.
Reep however would be the one to break the stalemate as he dodged the cat’s sword by jumping into the air and colliding so hard with Puss head that the cat staggered back a bit in dizziness. He even dropped his sword in the process.
Puss expected an attack now that he was vulnerable but none came to his confusion. When the dizziness wore off, the answer to why surprised Puss.
Reepicheep stood before him but instead of attacking, he was holding Puss sword in such a way that Puss knew that he was handing it back to him. The cat didn’t understand why though. The mouse had tried to kill him just a couple of seconds ago so why was he handing him back his sword?
Puss In Boots: Why? You could have won our little duel right here and now but instead you give me back my weapon?
Reepicheep: Don’t take it the wrong way cat; I don’t like you but I must admit your swordsmanship has greatly impressed me. It would be a shame for you to be defeated just because you lost your sword by mistake. There is no honor in defeating an unarmed opponent.
Puss In Boots: You are a little strange creature but nonetheless but I must also admit that you are a worthy opponent. If things were different, we might have made good rivals but enough chatter. Let’s finish this battle once and for all.
Reepicheep: Agreed! It’s time to find out who the greatest swordsman out of us two is.
With that, the animals charged at each other determined to finish this battle once and for all. Reepicheep dodged the 2 first sword strikes but a third managed to get through his defenses forcing him to parry it. The impact between the swords sent the mouse sliding backwards a bit but before Puss could slash at him again with his sword; Reepicheep took a deep breath before digging himself into the mud and disappear. He appeared right behind Puss but the cat managed to block the attack just in time before going on the offensive once again.
Reep parried all the attacks with excellent precision but Puss managed the same thing when Reep got tired of blocking. It was at this time that Puss decided to unveil his greatest weapon. The battle had gone on long enough and Puss knew he needed something special to take down the mouse.
To get some distance in order to use it, Puss avoided the next of Reppicheeps sword strikes to best of his ability and then kicked Reep in the face when an opening appeared. The cat used this opportunity to get some distance between the two and when the mouse got back his bearings, he raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Puss was just standing in front, having taken of his hat, and giving Reep a stare that could melt the heart of even the most coldhearted of warriors. This method had gotten Puss out of a lot of tight situations and given him the win over several skilled opponents before. Reepicheep was no ordinary warrior though.
While at first caught staring into those adorable eyes, Reep quickly got out of it and charged Puss with his sword. He was a knight of Narnia, leader of the talking mice, and fought several wars. There was no way that’s such an adorable face would be his undoing
Puss was completely caught off-guard as Reepicheep sent a barrage of quick sword strikes his way. How he had avoided getting affected by his greatest weapon he did not know but such thoughts could wait for another time. He had to survive this battle first.
Puss In Boots: I don’t know how you managed to escape mouse but I shall still be victorious in this battle with or without my greatest wea…(starts coughing uncontrollably).
Reepicheep watched with curiosity as Puss started to cough so much that he fell to the ground immobilized of doing anything else than try to stop coughing. He was still holding his sword in a strong grip and he was at least trying to get up on his feet. He did know the battle was over though and so did Reepicheep.
While impressed by the cats will to still fight, that did not stop Reepicheep from walking up to his opponent and stabbing him in his arms and legs to prevent him from moving.
Reepicheep: You were a worthy opponent but this battle ends now.
The battle finally came to a close as Reep swung his sword downward and pierced the cat’s heart ending the legacy of Puss in Boots
KO….?
……….or that is would have happened if Reepicheep hadn’t stopped his blade right before dealing the final blow and then taking a few steps backwards to give Puss some time to recover and cough up his hairball.
Puss In Boots: This is the second time you have spared my life but I know when I have been bested. I have no strength to continue this fight and you did win fair and square.
Reepicheep: You took away from me the dearest of my possessions but you are still one of the most skilled opponents I have had the chance to duel and therefore I thank you for a good fight. It would not feel to end your life over such a pesky misunderstanding.
Puss In Boots: I shall admit that my feelings got in the way as I swore an oath to protect the boss and his children and maybe I take that vow sometimes a little too seriously.
Reepicheep: That’s not a bad quality for a warrior to have. I do have a similar problem though when my honor is being disrespected.
Puss In Boots: It seems we are more similar than we realized at first.
Both animals chuckled at this. They were indeed more similar than they first thought. They could have been the best of friends if things had been differently and they had enough time. Time however weren’t on their side as Reepicheep could feel something dragging him away. In fact when he looked down at his feet, he could see them fading away into nothingness.
Reepicheep now understood why he had been transported to this realm. In all of his years serving Narnia, Reep had never fought someone who was on his own level. Sure he had fought a lot of skilled opponents but even they fell easily to his blade. He had really wanted to duel someone equally as good as himself before his death and entering Aslans country. Aslan must have known this and sent him here to fulfill his wish and based on the presence he could feel in his mind, the great lion was very proud in how he ended the fight.
Puss had also noticed that Reepicheeps body was fading away. He had an alarmed expression on his face but the mouse just smiled at him and raised his arm.
Reepicheep: It seems my time here is up but before I go; would you mind telling me your name as one warrior to another? I’m Reepicheep.
Puss In Boots: The names Puss In Boots my friend.
As the 2 animals shook hands, Reepicheeps body completely faded away but not before the mouse could utter a few last words.
Reepicheep: Thank you for a splendid fight Mr. Puss In Boots.
That was the last thing Puss heard before the mouse had completely disappeared. The only thing that remained where he had been was his sword. Puss just stood there for a while looking up into the sky with a thoughtful expression on his face before quietly saying a couple of words.
Puss In Boots: It was my pleasure Mr. Reepicheep.
- Puss is taking a nap on the ground unable to get up due to his injuries.
- Reepicheep arrives at Alans country and is welcomed by the great lion himself who restores Reeps tail.
Results[]
Boomstick: That was different. Where is the blood and the gore? I wanted some extreme death but instead they become friends? What a disappointing finish to an awesome battle.
Wiz: Technically we have had opponents who haven’t died before like Starscream.
Boomstick: Don’t remind me Wiz. I still shudder at the memory of the Transformers fans threatening us for letting their favorite lose to a freaking Pony.
Wiz: Regardless whether this fight ended with a death or not, it was clear who the victor of this death battle was. This battle was very even because of the similarities shared between both combatants. They are both master swordsmen and survived several numerous dangerous situations throughout the years. In the end though, Reepicheep proved himself superior to Puss in a few areas that ultimately gave him the win.
Boomstick: Both are used to take down opponents far larger than themselves but what they are far less experienced at is taking down opponents much smaller than they are. For obvious reasons, this wasn’t something that affected Reepicheep that much during this fight but Puss is a complete different story. He would definitely have a hard time catching the mouse because of his puny size. It was just too bad he didn’t have a mousetrap and some cheese nearby.
Wiz: Reepicheeps size also gave him an advantage in other ways as well as it made it much easier for the mouse to get to places much more quickly than Puss. It also lent very good to using stealth to get past the cats defenses.
Boomstick: That being said, the cat with the oversized shoes had a couple of things in his favor as well. They are both good with a blade but Puss had far more force behind his swings than Reepicheep did. Puss also surpasses the mouse in feats. I would like to see the rat climb up a giant beanstalk or dig himself out the ground after having been buried alive by 3 adorable killer kittens.
Wiz: That’s true but all those advantages are nullified due to the fact that Puss gave Reepicheep 2 perfect opportunity to seriously harm or kill him during this battle.
Boomstick: First of there is the hairballs that he can cough up at any moment. Sure it happens randomly and wouldn’t necessarily happen at all during this battle but if it did; there is no way in hell that Reepicheep wouldn’t inflict massive pain on Puss because of their genetics.
Wiz: The second one he gave Reepicheep when he tried to use his greatest weapon; his cute face. While it has proved detrimental to Puss in the past, it is by no means perfect. There has been several times in the Shrek franchise where it has been countered. Reepicheep has fought in wars and seen much more death than Puss which would make the cat’s greatest weapon very ineffective against the mouse in the long run and give him an opportunity to cause serious harm.
Boomstick: Also when you look at it, the inhabitants of Far Far Away isn’t exactly the smartest lot of people. If a single guard with no importance to the story at all could withstand Puss cute face, then Reepicheep should have no problem doing the same.
Wiz: Reepicheeps code of honor might have allowed Puss to live but it is rather obvious that it was the mouse that was the true winner.
Boomstick: Puss In Boots just got booted out of this death battle.
Wiz: The winner is Reepicheep.
