- Harrypotter 2875: Literally everyone else.
These battles provide examples of:
- Ass Shove: King Henry says he'll shove through Hilary Clinton's ass "faster than a battering ram".
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Ash grows a tad larger when he's talking about "raging like a Gyarados."
- Audience Participation: Averted. Unlike ERB, Harrypotter comes up with his own ideas. Though, he does use fan suggestions from time to time.
- Berserk Button: Montezuma seems to get a little pissed at Hernan for joking about Hernan's conquests...
- Hitler is absolutely LIVID to hear about Rommel's betrayal.
- Boastful Rap: Well, duh.
- Catchphrase: Much like ERB, Harrypotter's fanmade battles all open the same way.
- Deliberately Monochrome: Al Capone.
- Jesse James is in sepia.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: You might think the South Park characters would be this if you watch from the very beginning. However, the first few battles had, well, the creator's mouth on the characters.
-
Fake Nationality: Given that most of these people are American, this is a given in some battles. - Flipping the Bird: Darwin says Ash is to young to do this.
- Al Capone also uses this as an insult to Jesse James. Jesse can't flip him off, half his middle finger's gone.
- Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: Characters come in randomly in both Henry the VIII vs. Hilary Clinton and Lewis Caroll vs. Ernest Hemingway
- George Washington vs. John Adams. Every U.S. president as of 2013 appears. Even had a parody created by the rap battle community. See it here.
- George Washington vs. John Adams. Every U.S. president as of 2013 appears. Even had a parody created by the rap battle community. See it here
- Historical In-Joke: A given, considering how well researched most of the battles are.
- Incoming Ham: Benedict Arnold, dear Lord."TEEEEEN-HUT!!"
- Joke Character: The announcer seems to be confused that Ash Ketchum is in the battle.
- Lethal Joke Character: He does, however, manage to dish out some good lines on Darwin.
- Kissing Cousins: It's more than implied that Darwin did something with his cousin.
- The Mafia: Well, obviously when Al Capone is involved.
- Marionette Master: Charles Dickens, Dr. Seuss, and JK Rowling all summon a character to do their rapping for them in a verse.
- Motor Mouth: Mat4yo as Adam Smith and Alexander Graham Bell in their second verses.
- No Inside Voice: Benedict Arnold.
- Piss-Take Rap: Alfred Hitchcock. Yet it somehow works.
- Precision F-Strike: Saladin delivers two of these."Try an conquer Jerusalem, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!""This castle of rhymes is about to fucking expand!"
- Montezuma drops some on Cortez as well.
"Fuck Spain, fuck your army, and oh yeah, FUCK YOU TOO!" - Sophisticated as Hell: Richard The Lionheart. Not so much in his words, but he has a (fake) posh british accent.
- Tempting Fate: Nobel wonders what Tesla would think about seeing Edison fail. And then...
- Unusual Euphemism: Considering this is a rap battle, this is to be expected."Berengaria led me on a tour through her holy land!"
- World of Badass
- World of Ham
