History Fridge / DeathBattle

*** GT Goku vs Superman Blue: Both are versions from the 90's that are often FanonDiscontuinity.

** There's a coincidence that this episode was released on the ''10th season'' of this show as well.

** The ending, with both Superman and Goku staring into an infinite possibilities of their fights from different versions. Superman is oddly content watching it all, knowing that his universe is destroyed. However, he's likely relaxed because A) Goku just showed him how fun fighting truly is, especially with someone he can consider an equal to, to an extent, and B) the thought of using the Dragon Balls, likely the Super ones, puts his mind at ease knowing that everything they've destroyed will be fixed.
** In ''Dragon Ball'', Goku has had a habit of befriending characters who he had once considered rivals and enemies (Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha, Buu and Beerus among others). Ever fitting his good-natured attitude, his relationship with Superman here is much more cordial given how their contest is treated as a friendly spar with both men enjoying the contest until the very end.
** The final clash sees the silver-colored Ultra Instinct Goku attempt to take down the gold-colored sun-dipped Superman; no wonder then that Superman wins the exchange - after all: gold medals placer higher than silver.

** The Silver Surfer's appearance in the middle of the season ended up heralding the arrival of Galactus at the end of the season. To add to this, Megatron also made an appearance, being one of Unicron's devouted servants in various continuities (usually as Galvatron).
** Galactus basically absorbs Unicron's very essence into his because he feels that Unicron has no idea what his power's true potential is. He has a point, as Galactus can exist as a necessary evil, all the while Unicron has no reason to exist other than evil existing. Galactus sees Unicron reasonless destruction as a waste and he can be productive with it.

** Out of the multiple ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' VS ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' matchups across the seasons, only season 4's ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' VS ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'' ends with a win for the Bat-family -- Spider-Man beat Batman, Spider-Gwen beat Batgirl, and Venom beat Bane. But this makes perfect sense when you think about it: for the most part, the Batman VS Spiderman fights have been about pitting a BadassNormal against an actual Superhuman[[note]]and one with a powerset practically tailor-made to defeat an "urban ninja" style BadassNormal, to boot[[/note]] and having SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occur. Batman Beyond VS Spider-Man 2099 is the one matchup that breaks this paradigm, essentially pitting Batman's SuperiorSuccessor against a ShoddyKnockoffProduct Spider-Man, and thus the future Batman takes the only victory.

** The result of the fight also illustrates [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome an important factor]]. While it's very impressive that Frank could survive all he went through with his creativity and talent, the fight shows the difference between someone who's very good at improvising and someone who actually had a lot of professional training to deal with dangerous threats and zombie plagues, Leon essentially demonstrated this with the advantages he held when the fight was in close quarters.

** When Vader had Obito by his neck and told him to die, Obito responded by saying "Too late". There is a double meaning in Obito's words. The obvious first meaning is that Vader was too late in stopping the Infinite Tsukuyomi while the second meaning is that the younger, more idealistic version of Obito had already died and the one remaining is as good as dead since he can't feel anything.

** The songs in the fight, [[VideoGame/AnarchyReigns "Gotta Get The Cash" and "Laughin' At U"]]. While they may seem like odd choices, remember that "Laughin' At U" is a song that has lyrics stating gleefully that WarIsHell and in ''Franchise/MetalGear'', the plot revolves around the US profiting from the war economy despite knowing how much destruction there is, much like how "Gotta Get The Cash" describes someone who's OnlyInItForTheMoney, despite knowing the death and lack of justice.

** It's a bit of a coincidence that this episode was also released on the year of the 60th anniversary of ''Doctor Who'' (20/11/2023) and even releasing on the same week the 60th anniversary series premieres (25/11/2023 to be exact). In a sense, you could interpret this episode and its results as a celebration of the ''Doctor Who'' franchise.

** The season started with two of the smallest heroes in fiction. Its thus only fitting that the season ends with two of the largest planet eaters in fiction.
