Fun fact, when Gravity Falls had finally finished, Alex Hirsch (best known for making the show and voicing way too many characters) had created a real statue of bill cipher, with co-ordinates hidden in the final episode, it was a crazy fun mystery for everyone to solve, also fun fact, Bill Cipher statue was confiscated once by the police, so now you can imagine the almighty being of weirdness being arrested by the police.

Discord basically went: "Yeah, congrats, you killed me but you ain't touchin' the homies."

14:40 The fact that Discord writes his letter explaining what happened to his friends, which we see at the end of the battle, implies that he himself wasn't sure if he could actually beat Bill. But that didn't matter. Killing Bill was secondary, so long as he could distract him long enough to get him out of their dimension and back into the Nightmare Realm, he had alredy won in his own way. Its a great way to have both characters "win" without making either seem weak. Bill killed Discord, sure, but Discord got the last laugh. Overall, this is arguibly the best Death Battle *ever*

You could actually view Discord's initial canon appearance in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic as showing both the benefits and weaknesses of being fourth-wall aware. From that perspective, he deliberately played his first episode with the realization that as a major antagonist in a children's show he was guaranteed to end up losing and imprisoned again... but the combination of spending the entire episode being engaging, entertaining, and doing no permanent harm (this makes sense: if you think of chaos as the potential for a greater variety of futures, killing just doesn't fit the theme) also guaranteed he'd be written back into the show in time and become a recurring and eventually beloved - or at least tolerated - character.

To be fair, Discord can revive...eventually. Matter of time. Also I like how he tricked Bill into getting stuck in the Nightmare Realm again.

Bill may have won the Battle, but Discord won the War. Discord outplayed, outsmarted, and banished Bill without that Dorito Chip even noticing anything happening before it was too late. With as big of an Ego that Bill has, Discord getting the final laugh would hurt a lot more.

I really like how both Bill Cipher & Discord won & lost at the same time. Where Discord sacrificed himself to save his friends while trapping Bill in his Nightmare Realm Home and show Bill was a Fool. Even tho Discord was dying, all he did then was just laugh at Bill's face for being a fool. Bill lost his chance to take over Ponyville and was too focus on Discord since he know Discord can threaten him. And Bill was SO PISSED about the fact he still lost even tho he won the DEATH BATTLE. Discord got the last laugh at Bill. But They will eventually come back since Discord is Chaos Incarnate, his spirit will reform itself again later and Bill will eventually escape the nightmare realm and will try to take over Ponyville or somewhere else.

As an ex-Brony, I was 100% behind Discord. And even though he lost, that he could seal back Cipher and save the world is a noble ending that sadly not a lot of characters get in this show.

I think this one was my favorite. The fight itself was great, no clear advantage, animation was great and Brandon Yates hits us with another great song. Everything was just great.

Gravity falls is actually a very enjoyable show: even as an adult. Highly recommend as a reaction sometime down the line.

Glad you guys enjoyed this fight! The power-briefings beforehand on this one was also probably one of the best in the series! You guys noticed it early, but I just want to gush about how much I love that Bill and Discord were basically beefing in the descriptions of each other. Such good touch for 4th-wall-manipulators! And I don't know if either of you are familiar with Cole McGrath or Alex Mercer, but some of us long-time death battle fans have wanted that matchup for *years!* Infamous and Prototype were pretty big IP's back in the days of the PS3 era, and getting to see those two duke it out has been a long time coming!

This Fight might just have the BEST ending of the season I would DARE say. Overall this was Another BANGER EPISODE, can’t what to see what the rest of the season offers.

I've been waiting 3 weeks for this reaction. I went into this episode of Death Battle not expecting much, as I didn't know much about either character, but hoooooboy am I glad to be wrong. This turned into being one of my favorite episodes they've ever done. There are SO. MANY. REFERENCES. To other things in it that you can watch it several times and still not even see them all.

My little pony friendship is magic was a very popular show a decade ago. It lasted for 9 seasons and had a lot of guest actors like Weird Al and William Shatner. It lasted 9 mostly 22-episode long seasons had a theatrical movie and 4 tv movies.

20:19 - 20:23 The gibberish Bill Cipher is saying is one of his lines from the show backwards: "Remember. Reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram. Buy gold, bye!"

Gravity falls is a show everyone should watch with their kids. I was shocked at how much I loved it. Bill Cypher was an awesome character. "Here kid, have some deer teeth!"

This is easily in my Top 3 Death Battles, for it's stellar animation, great music, performances for the characters, fun moments like the puppets, and Amazing conclusion to tbe Battle with Bill winning the Matchup but Discord getting the last laugh saving his friends and home from Bill trapping him back in the nightmare realm

I really do hope they get a chance to look at Gravity Falls as a reaction. It is a great series.

I really hope next week is madara vs lord aizen

11:39: That's actually Bill and Discord arguing back and forth. And not "Awww". Bill destroyed his dimension and family because he was bored. 😂

Gravity Falls, the cartoon show best known for all its mystery, both in story and its countless easter eggs, backwards messages, small codes, it was a time to be alive as a theory fan! Every mystery is in the background!

This is one of the most well animated matches. Especially for it to be 8-bit but Bill is basically broken. I see why they had this match but this was still a great match

Death Battle made this fight completely epic and I love it

so happy to have one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time not only have an amazing episode, but my new favorite of all time. also gravity falls is genuinely amazing

Saitama vs Popeye Chuck Norris vs Segata

I think I recommended this a long time ago so I apologize in advance if I did, but I would love to see y’all’s reactions to Reverse Flash vs Goku Black, probably my favorite DB

The guts you saw live... they are the original voice actors wiz and boomstick

I really want you guys to react to older death battles But the new ones are just too good And I have to see it

Discord had his best showing as an antagonist, which didn't last long since efforts to reform him started the next season. 'The Return of Harmony' was originally supposed to be the TV special to end the series, but it got turned into the season 2 premiere when Hasbro realized they had an audience with a disposable income. _FiM_ ended up lasting for nine seasons, and has several TV specials, some side story movies, and a feature movie, along with comics, manga, and of course, toys. Odd to say about a show originally intended as family entertainment, but there are some pretty dark episodes. If you're at all curious, the season 2 episode 'Lesson Zero' gives a pretty good idea of the kinds of things they do without spoiling anything, and it also reintroduces the characters pretty well, without needing to be a two-parter. And if you want to see a smack-down fight (although it doesn't resolve the situation), you should still be able to find the clip of 'Twilight Sparkle vs Tirek' somewhere on here.

You guys are definitely going to love the next death battle!

i loved this Death battle cause i requested it from them like 3 years ago. So i was super excited they used my idea

I’ve been waiting on y’all to see this one

To be fair, everyone underestimates discord. He was never really a villain. He's based on Q, who's always finding underhanded and morally ambiguous ways to help the humans. Isn't it funny that Discord's first reign just happened to push the sisters to find the elements of harmony right before they needed them for nightmare moon? And then he "was tricked" just in time to give Twilight the last key to unlock the rainbow of light. And then was "tricked" again in a scheme that resulted in equestria uniting and all of its unreformed enemies being stoned. Ladies and gentlemen... Discord has never really lost. Only pretended to lose.

This gonna be fun.

17:52 ngl that’s my favorite part of the video

gravity falls is possibly one of disney's greatest shows they ever made it has so much crazy good lore its almost criminal that it only lasted like 3 or 4 seasons. it was that popular the writer and director made an irl global treasure hunt where the final discovery is a stature of bill cypher which has now been moved and nailed to a tree in a park to stop people from taking it. the writer is also good friends with the rick and morty creators so its a similar kind of humour and style but child friendly. matpat's done a few gravity falls vids on film theory if u r interested in them

0:50: YES! I love that! Also, love your doggo! 🤗

Bill won the battle, Discord won the war.

14:11 I'm gonna assume Bill. I know Discord pretty well and is more than capable in so many situations, but as much as i want him to take this, i have a bad track record with death battles voting for my favorites, and Bill is no joke. 21:45 after that.. well, ill say it was quite a battle, and I see what they did here. Discord is such a friend in ways people may not notice considering that ending. either way, he protected them against this monster.

i would LOVE a gravity falls reaction from yall

While I hope they are the last two this year, I can't wait for the reactions to Gogeta vs Vegito and Saitama vs Popeye

Cool detail about this battle. When they first start talking about Bill Cipher you see his real name is just a bunch of random letters and static. If you go frame by frame you'll find that each sequence of letters isn't random. They are all anagrams of different youtube channels that react to Death Battle. I'm not sure if there is a full list of each reactor name that was included, but it's entirely possible that you might have been included too.

Bill may have killed Discord, but Discord tricked Bill. So they both lost, but sadly Discord lost permanently.

I may not agree with the result, But this episode is one of the best of the series, The music, the fight, the analysis, The jokes, everything is well done, And also, the references to his own fanbase is a very nice detail

Ahhh I love non-euclidean entities posed as childrens characters lol

Gravity Falls is such a great series i hopw you watch it at some point all the riddles and puzzles it throes at you is such a fun crazy ride

This was a good reaction and do one for Cole vs Alex next.

I believe they got this one wrong. Discord is proven to be boundless in power while Bill is NOT.

I like this Death Battle, especially with how Discord still loses the Battle but dies a Hero. Next one is another one that was decided by the public. By the way, if you want wacky, you should do Chuck Norris vs Segata Sanshiro at some point.

Pretty fun, chaotic fight. Never interested in either show, so it was a spectacle for me. But the next fight I had more stock in, since I’ve played Infamous 1 & 2. And I’ve heard about Prototypoe during their rivalry in the early 2000’s. So I was rooting for Cole in that fight. And I was very entertained with how they did it.

What's more chaotic than ignoring the entire point of the show in order to achieve your actual goals?

i finally have disny speed storm and played it

16:06 - 16:10 The reason Bill Cipher said "Tell Jean Luc, his show is worse than Code of Honor!" is because in the show, Discord is voiced by the guy who played Q, in Star Trek the Next Generation; It was a pretty deliberate casting choice.

If you wanna see an crazy battle. Check out Zatana Vs Scarlet Witch.

if you guys haven't seen either of these shows you should they are both great. gravity falls is a great mystery adventure show [i would go more in-depth with the themes but its best experienced yourself.] and mlp is.....well lets just say their is a reason it struck a cord with so many OLDER males. the best way i've been able to describe it is "its a kids show that has dbz styled fights with story telling meant for adults" it takes its audience very seriously post season 3 and yeah there are some jokey episodes but so are there some in gravity falls or adventure time, doesn't mean they aren't good shows. if you can get over the "stigma about bronys" or "it being a kids show" you'll find out this show is just as good as anything you'd find in Disney's 90's catalog.

When there is a character that represents Chaos....only more violent 1 will be victorious

Discord sacrificed himself to save their friends, i believe that this is the first time that something like that happens in Deathbattle :')

You should definitely watch Gravity Falls. Bill is not one to be messed with.

Ok you guys definitely need to see gravity falls it only has two seasons but has so much lore and a great characters and storyline

cole and alex (INfamous vs prototype) has been requested for a long time i loved both game series but love INfamous more hope you check em out

The funny thing is due too death battle rules Bill won the battle but discord ultimately won too he saved his friends and discord didn’t really die he will come back too life but it’ll take a long time so mlp fans don’t think of this as a real lose for discord that being said I would love too see u guys watch gravity falls and my little pony both shows are two of the best modern cartoons ever

Two lords of chaos just having at it. A pure, unbridled death battle.

I highly recommend Gravity Falls! One of the best "kids shows" ever made.

Discord actually didn't died, he can come back to his friends again but still Bill killed him first and that is what matters to Death Battle.

This DB is so fun

wait, i thought Horse meat goes into ready-made-frozen-lasagnas?!

I’m a fan of both shows. Bill won and lost, but Discord won and lost a whole lot worse in my opinion. Bill doesn’t really care what universe he invades and even though he hates the outcome he got and that he’s stuck in the Nightmare Realm for the time being, he can just trick someone else in another universe in the expanse of the Multiverse. That’s why he went from PISSED TO THE EXTREME to shrugging it off. Equestria is just another place that he doesn’t really care about aside from making it his own place to wreck and it can be replaced. Discord, however, won’t be coming back for a while. Where there’s chaos, there’s Discord... But when exactly is he going to return? It could be a few days, a few months, a few years, a few decades... Or a few *centuries.* By then, Fluttershy could be dead along with all of his friends. He saved them all, but when he comes back, there’s a really good chance he’s going to come back to see that everyone he cared about is dead, which to him is even worse than death. He saved the ponies, but unless the return time is nice to him, he’ll be devastated when he comes back.

I think this is the first Death Battle in which the loser screws over the winner in some fashion.

i'd love to see you two react to gravity falls, i'd say its the best modern cartoon out there ^^

Highly recommend gravity falls as a reaction series. It was a great show when it came out as a kid, and is still good now.

hope my future is le ths wth my partner you guys are amazing

DAMN IT, DISCORD T_T

I continue to wait for Hercules vs Son Wukong

When gravity falls, and earth becomes sky, Fear the beast with just one eye

I’m not really a MLP person, but gravity Falls was such a good show. Bill cipher is such a frightening villain i’m honestly surprised with half of the stuff he did in the show he was allowed to be in a kid show killing characters left and right, the substantial amount of body horror was great

You guys NEED to watch Gravity Falls! It’s a fantastic show!

I'm okay with the ending, but it's still a little weird that a being weak to unicorn hair won against a being living in a country that is like 1/3 unicorn.

Tbh, when i first watch the death battle, i honestly thought that discord won by trapping bill in his 4th dimension and using a clone to trick him lol. Now i see bill had killed discord but discord had trapped bill in the 4th dimension again as one final middle finger 🖕🏾

Gravity Falls is a great show. Friend described it as Twin Peaks for kids.

I know Gravity Falls is a kids show but it’s a really great show, I highly recommend it 👌🏻

Gravity Falls is a banger show

Death battle reverse flash vs goku black

Gravity Falls is such a great show.

You guys should actually watch gravity falls it one of the best shows out there

Gravity galls is a great show, i highly recommend

This is one of the more confusing death battles for sure. 😅

I highly recommend watching Gravity Falls as a show.

My Little Pony is definitively worth checking out. It does suffer a little bit from the mentality of it being a "little children's show" where some of the filler episodes are a little vapid, but for the most part it's a solid show. But even at worst, it's still entirely harmless and often cute enough, so it's not really that bad.

Well this spoils quite a bit, so uh…yeah gravity falls! it’s a great show maybe to give it a watch or a react lol

The verdict is wrong, but the animation is the best in the entire series so far

This spoils things a bit so it wouldn't be as good as going in blind, but Gravity Falls is definitely worth watching. (MLP as well, but it's longer and has more misses as a result.)

Go watch gravity falls guys! It's good and exciting!

Discord wins no diff

Am I the only one who feels sad about the outcome of this Death Battle? ... Anyone?

The mis-analysis by categorizing Discord as an entity instead of a force of nature caused his loss, but a much more lore-accurate result is Discord just reappearing back in his interdimensional home some time after the battle while Bill is still imprisoned. The only way to really kill Discord would be turning his own universe into pure, clockwork order, which is strictly against Bill's nature as well. In fact, weirdmageddon would only make Discord stronger. And that's entirely discounting Grogar's bell being easily capable of draining a multiversal entity of its power, but that artefact is not Discord's property, so ignoring it counts anyway despite wrong reasoning. On the other hand, Bill wouldn't be able to invoke the Elements to imprison Discord in a similar way, despite being significantly smarter and cold-blooded than Discord.

Plz watch gravity falls!

I hate that that horrible discord is not awesome is hell is real i wish never be absorbed or erase existence from the past 😔 😪 we want win If u have time machine to change the future no absorbed no erase existence we want discord old enough age 1,232,401,040,000 year old N bill creator he will not make bill say not return

Hey people. I know it's maybe too late for that but I'll still write it. I'm thinking the same I did with Steven from Star Butterfly vs Steven Universe: As great as the fight was, there existed the possibility that it would have been even more awesome. Transformations are the key word. The fights would have been so much more dramatic and ingenious if Steven had used his "Pink Status" and might have lost anyway, but he would have played his last trump card. A triumphant triumph if he had tried to fight as a gigantic monster lizard against Star's magical superiority and had perished fighting. The same goes for Bill. Wouldn't you have found it perfect if Bill had completely freaked out, transformed into his monstrous pyramid form with the multiple eyes and arms. Then he probably would have broken Discord down into its molecules, just as he threatened the mystery twins to do. Only here would we have seen what he meant by that. What do you mean? If this perfect death battle hadn't been even more perfect, Bill would have taken on his most terrifying form?

Funfact: They did get this one wrong, and even they mentioned it in their own video when they said Discord will come back to life on his own eventually. Discord has more power than what they displayed and they oversold Bill. Still a good fight visually, so I still liked it. I've stopped getting annoyed when they get things wrong.

I'm still disappointed how DB decided that mere demon triangle can be superior than the incarnation of the chaos itself. Beside the fact that all that Bill do will give Discord more power.
