Interlude[]
Boomstick: Ah, there have been many forms of pop-culture from Japan. Ranging from anime to manga and much more, these can either be giant mecha and kaiju, yuri and yaoi, and even Shonen Battle and Sentai.
Wiz: But then there’s the most absurd, wackiest, and absolute Japanese of them all: Magical Girls! And if you think these ladies are all cute and girly and glittery like I did, well, you’re in for a surprise
Boomstick: But there's nothing more
Wiz: Sakura Kinomoto, The Cardcaptor
Boomstick: And Nanoha Takamachi, The Tactics Instructor, He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick!
Wiz: And it’s our job to analyze their weapons, armors, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle!
Sakura is the Cardcaptor in Death Battle[]
Boomstick: It all started out as a regular elemntary school girl, until she finds out that there was a strange book in one of her rooms, and once she opens it, it was the beast of the seal, Keroberos
Wiz: She was the chosen Cardcaptor after opening the book by accident, but later on she accepted the deal with Kero to collect all cards as her own, every card choses it's owner
Boomstick: She lives in Tomoeda City alone with her Father and her Teasing Brother Toya
Wiz: Along with her friend Tomoyo, she often sits right next to her, and right behind her? Yeah that's Syaoran
Boomstick: Uh oh...well that kid looks like he's serious, nevermind, these two came along in the end
Wiz: Other than Yue, Kero, Syaoran and her friend Tomoyo, Nobody knows Sakura was a cardcaptor, she secrets this so anyone won't find out
Boomstick: The Clow cards themselves are magical objects, they can get out of control when not used properly, just like the shot card
Wiz: That happened to meiling back then when she readed the shot card, The Clow Cards can be really dangerous when not treated properly
Boomstick: That's where it all began
Wiz: Sakura was on a relationship with Syaoran, specially in the clear card arc where the are 13 year olds now
Boomstick: And then there goes Meiling, who's been Hostile towards Sakura very often all because of Syaoran, Syaoran and Syaoran of all things! But until now, Meiling stops
Wiz: Sakura at the clear card arc has now been aged to 13, but still seemingly hasn't changed at all
Boomstick: Oh, she still shouts that thing huh? How cute
Wiz: There goes another one, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, a Spinoff to Cardcaptor Sakura
Boomstick: and there we have, Syaoran, Sakura and Tomoyo, and their elder versions, along with the CLAMP's Main Casts, Watanuki, Yuuko and Mokona
Wiz: In that era, they all travel along with Sakura, Syaoran, Kurogane and Fai, that's in order to store Sakura's Memories back
Boomstick: Oh, so that was a future Sakura...huh?
Wiz: No...It was a clone
Boomstick: What?!
Wiz: Yeah, it was, Until they were reborn on the same dimension
Boomstick: Okay...?
Wiz: Back to Cardcaptor Sakura, before meiling left Tomoeda, a new student from England came, named Eriol
Boomstick: He looks familiar...
Wiz: Yes...He is the reincarnation of Clow Reed
Boomstick: Very indeed
Wiz: He even revealed in later episodes that he was the reincarnation of Clow Reed himself, that's why he's capable of warping things itself, and cause problems on Sakura, but she's alright
Wiz: Much like Syaoran and Kero, Sakura gained the Ability to detect Magic before capturing the Mirror Card
Boomstick: And that was pretty epic, but wait, whay's this all about?
Wiz: Stated by Eriol, the reincarnation of Clow Reed itself, Sakura's Power increases everytime she changes the card, like how she changed the Clow Cards into Sakura Cards
Boomstick: Oh, is that why she collapse everytime she changes it?
Wiz: That's...The effect of Magic
Boomstick: It happens everytime?
Wiz: No, she got used to it at some point
Boomstick: That's good, but what about the creation thing?
Wiz: Good Question Boomstick, The Nameless Card was created by Sakura herself, it came from her Tears after Syaoran returned to Hong Kong in the end
Boomstick: Aw
Wiz: as it continues, Sakura learned how to detect a presence of a clow card coming, not only that, it granted her the ability to sense magic as well, that's why she can feel Eriol
Boomstick: Oh nice
Wiz: She even had the Fortune Telling Ability, which grants her to see future events through her dreams, just like the Final Judgement one, where she fights Yue
Boomstick: And there goes her Math Teacher, Kaho Mizuki, who isn't an Ordinary person, at all
Wiz: Until the second movie, she managed to change the Clow Cards into Sakura Cards, and pretty much matured into a Magical Girl, just like Tomoyo said
Boomstick: And what's the origin? Between that?
Wiz: After the Final Judgment, Clow Reed tells her that her magic seems to be drawn from the power and ability of the stars, which may start small, but are ever-shining with their own brilliant light, and that's, where Sakura begins to have a contact with Clow reed after defeating Yue
Boomstick: Oh...
Wiz: There's like, 53 cards in there
Boomstick: Yeah right, Wood, Fire, Water, Wind, Time, Loop, Freeze, Maze, Lock and hell too much of them
Wiz: The Nothing is the last card that exist, which Sakura captured, in the second movie
Boomstick: Welp, The Nothing Card was something, it erases People, Structures, Everything, it even took all Sakura's Cards, except the Nameless one
Wiz: The Lock rgants Sakura the ability to seal away her foes, which is something that cannot be broken or anything, there's also the maze card, which is a maze of an extending space to infinite, slice it? It can just regenerate, unless it was harmed by a tool coming from Clow Reed
Boomstick: And...What happened to clow reed?
Wiz: It was believed he passed away long ago, and reincarnated as Eriol
Boomstick: Oh...and atleast, he managed to get a contact with Sakura herself, and became the superior
Wiz: Cards such as Stormy, The The Watery and The Earthy are capable of breaking structures, just like a hurricane
Boomstick: Sakura can even make huge tornadoes with Windy
Wiz: During the Final Judgement, Sakura was able to take hits from Yue several times while using too much Magic against her
Boomstick: And in Tsubasa Chronicles, you could pretty much compare her to Syaoran storing timelines that got destroyed by Fei Wang
Wiz: There's more, Tsubasa with all of her feathers were all able to cross dimensions and Transcend Space and Time, She can even survive with Fei Wang destroying the Multiverse
Boomstick: Whoa, anyway, Sakura and Syaoran can exist in a void with a separate Space-Time, and a pure timeless void
Wiz: and there goes the Travel, unlike the Time Card, Travel has the ability to go back in the past, like Sakura seeing the 8th grader of her brother toya
Boomstick: and there goes the silent, which had the ability to cut someone's sound
Wiz: Even the Nothing card has all the power of the Clow, Sakura can also use Time to stop time just like Syaoran, which shows she now has control over the Sakura Cards
Boomstick: even herself was unaffected by the Sleep Card
Wiz: Sakura also managed to break out Eriol's Spell with Syaoran's Help, she managed to do it by breaking Eriol's Spell of converting her Clow Card into a Sakura Card
Sakura: "I, Sakura Command you under our contract, RELEASE!"
Nanoha Flashes Through Death Battle[]
Wiz: In the city of Uminari, Nanoha Takamachi was just your normal everyday 3rd grader.
Boomstick: You know, normal family, normal friends, normal school. Everything. But unbeknownst to her, she would very soon find that her life would forever be changed...
Wiz: As it turns out, the Ferret was actually a mage from another world by the name of Yuuno, and he had a problem…
Boomstick: Some relics he was excavating called the Jewel Seeds got scattered all over the planet, and he’s been too weakened to handle the task.
Wiz: So when Yuuno got attacked by a monster spawned from one of those relics, Nanoha then rushed to his rescue… again, and then…
Boomstick: She got the necklace with the red orb Yuuno was wearing, and her life then indeed forever changed.
Wiz: And so that was Nanoha’s life from then on. A Life that she had to juggle between her normal life and having to fight monsters to get the Jewel Seeds.
Boomstick: But then, she found that her work would be more difficult than expected once this girl with a laser-axe started looking for them for her own goals.
Wiz: That girl, who’s name is, and I’m serious about this, Fate Testarossa, first showed up to Nanoha and easily took care of the current situation at hand.
Wiz: She was a natural adept at being a mage, being able to easily take down a monster and destroy a giant tree that grew in the city thanks to the Jewel Seeds.
Boomstick: So who was that girl?
Wiz: That girl, who’s name is, and I’m serious about this, Fate Testarossa, first showed up to Nanoha and easily took care of the current situation at hand. She was a natural adept at being a mage, being able to easily take down a monster and destroy a giant tree that grew in the city thanks to the Jewel Seeds.
Boomstick: Oh...Dammit
Wiz: Fate Testarossa started off as Nanoha's Rival, it was until then they both became close friends
Boomstick: Aw that's so sweet
Wiz: In Infinity Souls, there was a parallel version of Nanoha where she was an elementary schooler
Boomstick: A boy also clad in black named Chrono interrupted the fight, and he gets Nanoha to come with him.
Wiz: And so each side continued looking for the Jewel Seeds, they eventually scuffled with each other more and more, but suddenly, during one fight with Fate…
Boomstick: And then the girl Zero easily beat Nanoha, but their newfound rivalry is something that gets into Nanoha’s mind. Mostly because of the sadness in Fate’s eyes that she want to bring a smile to.
Wiz: Turns out that there exists an organization that keeps peace across many different worlds called the Time-Space Administration Bureu, and they’re on the Jewel Seed case as well.
Boomstick: Luckily Chrono’s mom Lindy got Nanoha and Yuuno on their side, so the two resumed the search for the seeds, and then fought against Fate one last time…
Wiz: And afterwards, things hit their climax, and the heroes had to storm the base of Fate’s mom, and with the help of Fate, get to her… and then Precia chooses to die anyway.
Boomstick: Though all that was left was for Fate to stand trial, before that she and Nanoha met one last time, exchanged ribbons, and promised to see each other again. What an end to this series.
Wiz: We still got two more seasons of this baby. Movies too. Maybe a manga as well.
Boomstick: When she became a mage, she was one of the only humans in existence to boast a large magical potential.
Wiz: Nanoha could also keep up on toe to toe with Fate, And to top it off, she’s become much, much stronger since then. Like 17 years’ worth of being stronger.
Boomstick: Let’s mention what is Nanoha’s most important aspect in the fight… Raising Heart.
Wiz: Normally appearing like a necklace with a red jewel on it, like Simon’s makeshift necklace with his core drill, Raising Heart is a device that allows Nanoha to do the things she’s able to do.
Boomstick: The one thing that Raising Heart relies upon the most is Nanoha’s own willpower, and with those two combined, getting the Jewel Seeds would be an easy task…
Wiz: I mean, sure? She’d probably be a candidate for one if she was in DC. But anyways, let’s get into what type of Magic Nanoha uses.
Boomstick: Wait, if Raising Heart runs on Nanoha’s willpower, she got it from an alien, and she’s part of an intergalactic peacekeeping force… Does that mean Nanoha’s a Green Lantern?
Wiz: Though when it comes to certain situations, such as a virus making normal Magic not useful or an otherworldly Magic even for the TSAB, Nanoha had to bust out the big guns. Literally.
Boomstick: Enter the Fortress Unit and the Strike Cannon, weapons that are powered by Nanoha’s mana that she can use to contend with said people with a virus and otherworldly magic users. And then she got that magic integrated into them, upgrading the Strike Cannon to the Formula Cannon in the process.
Wiz: In the worlds of the TSAB there are two main types of Magic that mages can use. Midchildan Magic and Belka magic. Nanoha of course uses the former type, but she can bolster her power by using Belka Cartridges. So in a way she uses the power of both types. Both mostly Midchildan magic.
Boomstick: In order for her to fly, she's able to grow wings at her shoes as well
Wiz: Right
Boomstick: Across the years, Nanoha has amassed a great amount of achievements proving her to be a true ace.
Boomstick: Or managing to win out against a clone of a powerful ancient ruler… who’s also her adopted Daughter.
Wiz: Such as destroying a cannon meant to destroy the Earth… alongside surviving the person using the cannon using a suicide attack to try to take her down.
Boomstick: Or managing to win out against a clone of a powerful ancient ruler… who’s also her adopted Daughter. But most importantly: She’s become stronger than the time Fate destroyed a Dream Realm.
Wiz: So near the end of A’s, Fate gets sucked into a dream realm by the Will of the Book of Darkness. Next episode she manages to break out of said dream realm.
Boomstick: Wait, Fate did what?!
Wiz: It gets even crazier if we go all out. Now The Book of Darkness is one of the things the two have to deal with throughout the series, one out of the many Lost Logias. And in Season 1, we get an explanation on what they’re capable of. At full power potentially being able to destroy a planet or even all Dimensional Space.
Boomstick: So how crazy would that be, just destroying a universe?
Wiz: And even being able to defeat a copy of her, flying through the explosion that their beams caused in the process.
Boomstick: …Go on…
Wiz: But it gets even crazier. So Dimensional Space is actually Dimension Space, and it contains all what the Dimensional Administration Bureau considers “Dimension Worlds”… presumably just other worlds. And Earth is stated as Unadministrated World 97. So basically, a full power Lost Logia can destroy at least 97 Worlds. And Fate broke out of one full-power Lost Logia. At 9 Years Old.
Boomstick: …So you’re saying that Nanoha should be similar in power to that?
Wiz: Well, essentially, she’s like the Gojo of the organization and is the best of them all, even with a special title: The Ace of Aces, Above. She’s at a higher mage rank than she was in A’s
Boomstick: So, as a human with a huge potential and years of experience under her belt, where does Nanoha lie in the TSAB?
Wiz: Exactly. It honestly depends on what you really believe in..
Nanoha: "Maybe I am a little demonic… But you’re gonna listen whether you like it or not!"
Intermission[]
Wiz: All right the combatants are set and we’ve run the Data Through all possibilities…
Boomstick: It’s time for a Death Battle!!!!

Somewhere in Midchilda at night, Nanoha is walking in a part all by herself for some reason, and suddenly encountered Sakura and Kero capturing a card,
Nanoha: "Hmmm...what's going on there...?"

Kero: "Hah! Take that! Guess you have to choose someone to mess with"
Nanoha then jumps off, delivering a strike flame towards Kero, Sakura readies her wand
"Shield!"
The Shield then protects Kero from getting attacked by the strike flame, he gasps in panic before talking
Kero: "Ah thank goodness sakura, you saved m-" Nanoha kicks off the protected Kero, colliding with Sakura like a bowling Ball
"Raising Heart, you have any ideas how to pop their shield?" Nanoha said
Raising Heart: "It seems like the bubble is made out of Magic, it's nearly impossible to pop but"
Before raising heart could finish, Sakura pulls out the Firey Card and throws a Fireball at Nanoha, before it can hit her and raising heart, she flies off, avoiding the fire and finally getting out of the shield
As she got out, Nanoha fires multiple axel shooters towards Sakura, she quickly pulls out the Arrow card and uses it to counter Nanoha's Axel Shooters, Nanoha used a Flash Move spell which dramatically increases her speed, and dashes towards Sakura and Kero in Full-Speed, the two moves on the left and Nanoha lands while missed

Raising Heart: Flash Move
Nanoha quickly dodges Sakura's Attack, the two flies up higher in the Sky, followed by Kero
Kero: "Sakura! Ah there you are, i found you!"
Sakura: "K-Kero! I'm in the middle of something now! No time to talk!"
Nanoha: might have no choice but to unleash the Blaster System. Raising Heart, can you do that?
Raising Heart: Yes, master.
Raising Heart: Shooting Mode
Nanoha points the Raising Heart in shooting mode and charging a Divine Buster at Sakura and Kero
Sakura uses the shield card to protect herself and Kero
As it fires, Sakura and Kero were protected by the shield when divine buster blasted, covering the area with smoke
As the shield goes down, Nanoha binds Sakura's Hand, and her legs
Sakura: "W-What?!"
Kero: "W-What is that?!"
Raising Heart: "Cannon Mode"
Nanoha: "You are not escaping this time"
She points the raising heart at the binded Sakura and starts charging it, performing a Exelion Buster, then fires towards the chained Sakura
Sakura nervously trying to look away
"Time!" She said in panic, stopping everything except for Kero
Kero: "That was a Smart Move Sakura!"
Sakura quickly flies up, escaping the bind with Kero, it was until the time resumes, the Exelion Buster missed, only to realize Nanoha missed the attack again
Nanoha: "She's too fast.."
Nanoha quickly tries to catch up with Sakura in Mid-Air, the two flies towards the ground and landing back

Sakura: "N-No!"
Sakura was shocked after realizing what she has done, as Nanoha finally lands, Sakura catches her with her hands
Sakura: "P-Please...don't die..."
Nanoha coughs out blood, before opening her eyes for one Final Time
Nanoha: "That...that was a good fight...I'd like to know your name..."
Nanoha asked
Sakura: "S-Sakura...Kinomoto Sakura...that's my name"
Nanoha smiled after hearing what Sakura said "I'm Nanoha...Takamachi Nanoha...it was great...seeing you..." those where the final words she said before finally passing out
Sakura was left there, carrying Nanoha's Body
Kero the approaches and saw what just happened
The screen blacks out
K.O
Verdict[]
(The Screen shows Boomstick weeping)
Boomstick: I...I'm not Crying...my eyes are just too watery *sniff sniff*
Wiz: While Nanoha was more Versatile, Skilled and had more Combat Experience than Sakura, had the trump in order to take down Nanoha
Boomstick: Let's track down the speed, Nanoha could match with Fate who maches 530, Sakura could effortlessly dodge Lightning
Wiz: and there's no reason to believe that Flash Move could be fast as the Dash Card, even if it did, Nanoha still have no ways of dealing with Sakura's Loops, Time Stop, Returning back in time where she can kill the past Nanoha, and even getting erased for good
Boomstick: In terms of Physical, Nanoha easily outclass Sakura who's an average athlete, even tho Sakura managed to tank magic attacks from Yue
Wiz: and in the movie Eins arguably has a higher base ceiling there via the Dream World she put Fate in having planets in it, while Sakura could match with Fei Wang effortlessly destroying the Multiverse, Sakura can also move in a pure timeless void with a separate space-time
Boomstick: Sakura could even seal her away using the Lock Card, Good Luck starving to Death, or worse
Wiz: Don't even get started on the Erase one, Barrier Jacket is sure durable but has no defence at getting erased from existence it mainly relies on the Book of Darkness being capable of destroying all dimensional space outside of its usual cycle of ‘Appears, gets filled, destroys world.’, but assuming that the book is indeed capable of doing it outside of the cycle would place Nanoha at the very least as being able to be above that due to where she is in StrikerS.
Boomstick: Even tho the Barrier Jacket makes nanoha so difficult to kill, Sakura had many ways of dealing with it
Wiz: and let's not forget about Sakura having the ability to detect Magic, she'd be able to sense an upcoming attack from Nanoha
Boomstick: and The Shadow/Dark Magic can isolate and nullify non-magical beings if given enough time, that means she'd be able to nullify Nanoha's Magic
Wiz: In terms of Durability, Sakura could tank hits from Yue and survive a Multiverse-Destruction taken from Fei Wang
Boomstick: So in that case Nanoha doesn't have the Card to pull out a Win, right wiz?
(Wiz Silences)
Boomstick: Oh come on Wiz! It was a pun isn't it?
Wiz: (sigh) The Winner is Sakura Kinomoto
