YMMV / Death Battle Arena

Go To

  • Adorkable: Like canon, Mob has his moments, like geeking out when Pinkie Pie invites him to a party and meeting All-Might.
  • Character Rerailment:
    • Aang undergoes this in the form of his Fatalities. Despite the name, neither of the ways Aang defeats his opponent is actually lethal: one of them consists of him Energybending the opponent into submission, whereas the other one consists of him sending his opponent to the Spirit Realm like he did to Admiral Zhao (which technically is a Fate Worse than Death, but the thought's what counts). Basically, DimensionDino is keeping Aang true to his nature as a Martial Pacifist who will fight but refuses to kill, which is pretty awesome when you take into account that he doesn't do the same for two other no-kill heroes, Batman and Spider-Man.
    • Queen Sindel also undergoes this in her ending. After defeating the mastermind behind Death Battle, Sindel is freed of Shao Kahn's brainwashing, and regains her memories of The High Queen and caring mother she used to be. She then leaves the world of Death Battle to reunite and reconcile with Kitana. DimensionDino has basically undone the fan-disliked retcon of Sindel in Mortal Kombat 11 from being Brainwashed and Crazy to being Evil All Along.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: Pikachu's "Defibrillator From Hell" fatality is this, as it has Pikachu burst into his opponent’s gut before shocking them to the point they start to smoke. Horrifying. The opponent then collapses to the ground, and Pikachu pops out of the cavity and brushes blood off of his face. Funny and darkly cute.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Sindel's Character Rerailment might or might not have influenced her characterization in the New Era.
  • Unexpected Character:
    • Professor E. Gadd appears in Danny Phantom's ending to discuss ghosts with Danny's parents.
    • Which character you would most expect to see in Daredevil's ending? Batman? Toph? No, it's his fellow lawyer Phoenix Wright.
    • In She-Ra's ending she joins forces with princesses from other worlds,such as: Wonder Woman, Peach, Zelda and... Kitana?
    • In Macho Mans ending, theres a surprise apperance from Beowulf of all characters, and his series hasn't even made it onto Death Battle yet!
