While you were both completely understandably excited at Magneto winning, the ending to this fight was one of the most heartfelt and saddest they may have ever done.

From an outsider’s perspective, Akira was as influential and important for anime/manga as Watchman was for comic books.

"He turned into a Resident Evil monster" I mean...you're not wrong...kinda...

Narratively, I think this is one of the best Death Battles they've ever done.

This was Easily one of my Favorite Death Battles, the track to the Fight was amazing (Ego Death), the stuff we got to see in it was awesome. But my favorite part of this was the Character moments, throughout the the fight Magneto treats Tetsuo as a child, and Tetsuo definitely had the outbursts of one, it wasn't until Magneto was being Brain scrambled and coughed up blood that he was tired of his "Tantrum" that he tried to end it(he even had red eyes in that moment) only to release Tetsuo's monstrous form, and amongst the Chaos in his mind he hears "it hurts, help me" that Magneto now realize that he's just a "poor child" who's lost control over his own mutation. Tetsuo Cried out for a Savior and Magneto answered, delivering the only Mercy kill in the entire series, and he thanked him for that and Magneto responded with "you're welcome". They were both well written and really separated itself from previous Death Battles I Love it

Magneto's sheer tenacity is nuts. In one of the latest stories, he got his heart ripped out and his spine severed in the process - but the only thing it accomplished was to make him _pissed._ He just compensated for the damage with his powers and went on a war path.

The fact this battle had both characters portrayed properly and had Magneto give Tetsuo a mercy kill was excellent.

a sad fight. that power is litterally suffering for Tetsuo. i like the end. it was more a mercy kill than an execution

fun fact: you can hear in that bit where tetsuo is talking to magneto with his mind he says "welcome...to... die!" which is magnetos line. also this episode is great

Magneto has no known upper limit to his powers and electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental properties of the universe so he should really never lose.

I guess you could say this Death Battle.......pulled me in.

This Death Battle is great! I never would have imagined this match up. I was thinking Magento would face Dr. Polaris from DC, since he controls metal as well. However, Magento vs Tetsuo Shima from Akira was a great choice!

When I first watched this DB , I had no idea Magneto was so strong 🙆‍♂️. Well to be fair he does control a fundamental force 😂 broken as hell

Yeah this one is good. You should do Sauron Vs Lich King, easily one of the best DB they’ve ever made

I think this Death Battle was rather accurate, actually I think hardly anyone thought that Magneto would lose this one.

If you're looking at the most influence anime out there for introducing it to an American audience, it was probably Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, and this one, Akira. Being one of the highest grossing movies of the year despite it being an adult animated foreign movie. Even to this day it's one of the most visually stunning animated films out there despite being almost 35 years old.

Fun fact: KOF Krohnen /K9999 (the guy with blue hair and red googles) was inspired by Tetsuo. Many of this attacks are referenced in the movie

Despite what magneto went though...despite what he did and does....it's so cool to see his compassionate side.....magneto:your welcome to a suffering soul....

Fun fact, for this Magneto was played by Edward Boscow, aka Alastor from Hazbin Hotel.

This was another favorite death battle of mines. Great reaction

Hi Ken and Bethany!!! Hope you’ll also check out the Death Battle “Thor vs Vegeta” this year as well, since it also has Nick Landis voicing Geets 🤣

5:00 Love the classic X-Men series! 😌

I hope you guys get to Sauron’s Death Battle soon! 😣❤️

Fun fact: The Fetus of God Stage from Darkstalkers (from Jedah's trailer) was based on Tetsuo's final form.

Pretty much every Sci fi copied Akira (especially stranger things, matrix and minority report) it was lightning in a bottle ground breaker of animation. From kanye west's "stronger" to "30 years of Akira slide" references. Its imitated all over.

"We have actual fake money this year" 🤣🤣🤣

This is one of the great ones, they did an amazing job in both animation and analysis

If I may suggest one, a Death Battle for you to watch, I recommend Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher. It's one of the older ones, but it's done really well.

Jonathan Joestar vs Tanjiro Kamado is a good battle if you want a battle between two wholesome good boys, or Thor vs Vegeta for two powerhouses.

This is definitely one of the best ones I think u guys should check out venom v bane as well

Damn magneto is awesome,why don't they show this in the movies. Awesome video as always. Stay phenomenol

Love y’all reaction videos.. you guys should react to dead or alive 5 last round tag throws for you guys next fight night Friday ❤

guys react to death battle Thor vs vegeta

You guys should react to Sauron Vs The Lich King. Really great animation.

Marvel has a tribute mutant character to Tetsuo named Kenji Uedo, whose powers were similar.

Now this makes me want a Tetsuo vs Lucy fight

I knew magneto’s comic powers and story so i knew if they used comic magneto it was gonna be a one sided massacre

Fun battle and great reaction. As both a lover of Akira and also a massive Magneto fan, I thought they did a really good job with both characters, although, believe it or not, main comic-universe Magneto is even *more* absurdly powerful than presented here. Dude's ridiculously OP. One of my favorite lines I've read on it came from an analysis of the physics of his abilities, in which the writer mused, "I wonder if Stan Lee realized what he did when he put 'electro' in front of magnetism, when he was coming up with this character." Mags controls a fundamental force of reality and can even exert control (with greater difficulty) over the other fundamental forces. Basically, unless it's magic, he's free to mess with it with impunity, and he even finds workarounds for the magical stuff all the time.

This a cool video and a great death battle but now I kinda wanna see you guys react to goku black vs reverse flash

I would really like to see your reaction to Ghost Rider vs Lobo!

Tetsuo vs phoenix would be a complete slaughter fest he doesn’t have anywhere near enough power to even scratch her. Especially if it’s the white phoenix

Yeah, that's the thing about Omega mutants. "Omega" means "We don't know think there is a limit on your powers". At that point, it's really just a matter of how you use it, and Magneto is a tough, focused bastard for obvious reasons. imo, I think that's why he gets the win. They both have godlike powers, but Magneto knows he does, has for an entire lifetime, and acts accordingly. Tetsuo doesn't have the experience for that.

I don't know if there is an order to your death battle viewing, if there isn't one, could you do Sanji vs Rock lee

This fight was insane ;_;

Akira was based in K9999 from the King of Fighters And a very similar Style fight and influential. This character was baned and SNK maded nameless in 2002 and in 2021 maded krohnen McDougall, the same character but a Cyborg Clone but with the Kusanagi's flames it turned so popular that is broken beating bosses, like Rugal B .

When it comes to American cartoon characters versus other American cartoon characters, the safest bet is to go with the veteran. Try to remember, for the most part of things, veterans will win, most of the time and sometimes you're going to have a person that has a wild-card.

Pokemon vs. Digimon death battle been asking for a while now

This is the season of Death Battle, where there's actually some sad triumphant outcomes. Here, Magneto starts off as labeling Tesuo as a rampant child but by the end shows sympathy in calling him a poor child out of pity and putting him out of his misery before giving his welcome to Tetsuo's thanks.

Akira the anime film where Tetsuo is from is amazinggg

author be like, magneto gonna die because some kid stabbed him in the leg

U guys should react to Goku Black vs Reverse Flash Next it’s a great one really fun

I would like you to do Captain Marvel vs Shazam next.

In death battle. If its Marvel/DC vs any other content. 90% of the time, the marvel/dc wins

you guys should react to these too: ghost rider vs lobo, war machine vs genos, spongebob vs aquaman, michael myers vs jason vorhees, trunks vs silver, apocalypse vs black adam, thor vs vegeta, saitama vs popeye, korra vs storm, batman vs iron man, ben 10 vs green lantern, darkseid vs thanos and mario vs sonic (2011). pls react to these 1 by 1 if you want to they are very good

Bro gets to clap cheeks either way. The bets don't matter 🤷🏾‍♂️😂

you should watch Joker VS Sweet Tooth Luigi VS Tails Saitama VS Popeye Link VS Cloud (both) Scrooge VS Shovel Knight Crash VS Spyro Yoda VS King Mickey all 3 Shadow DEATH BATTLEs Chuck Norris VS Segata Sanshiro Solid Snake VS Sam Fisher and also the 1st Live action one (Daredevil VS Nightwing) and then Winter Soldier VS Red Hood and Shao Kahn VS M. Bison

Gogeta vs Vegito ( Dragon Ball Death battle

Very good

HMMMM this sure doesn't look like splinter cell and Metal gear.....jk tons of fun guys keep it up!

Have you heard of the Death Battle Cast?

And congrats winning the best beth

15:25 Right 😂

Aye vox machina season 2 just dropped

Hey! You can watch the movie "Puss in Boots" The Last Wish. I highly recommend

When it comes to death battle, when it comes to a Japanese cartoon character going up against an American cartoon character, the safest bet is to, bet on a anime character, most of the time.

Magneto is forever that guy lol

Akira is a movie, actually. and no, Ken, you DID pronounce it right. :) also, this fight and kill is more sad than anything. Akira is also a manga series. :)

Watch Akira. It's one of the best anime movies of all time. It was revolutionary for its time and is such an amazing movie. Even if you can't react to it, I understand but watch it.

Can you do another scp foundation story

In the ultimate Marvel comics magneto kills Charles Xavier to stop him co op all heros and cause massive genocide..why...cause Ultron killed his daughter scarlet witch...in that pareral universe....even killed Wolverine...lucky not in 616

Tetsuo vs Phoenix?! Ok, that depends on the version of Phoenix we're talking about, but... Bethany, darling, I think you have a very wrong concept of Phoenix's level of strength.

I never watched Akira... I know it's a classic... I should feel ashamed... but u can't guess who wins... After the explanation I'd say Tetsuo Well look at me getting it wrong

phoenix force would obilirate tetsuo bcs phoenix is multiversal there is only 1 phoenix

Magneto is seriously overpowered. Most of the world is mostly metals. Heck people have iron In their blood so what happened if he manipulate that? The only people he cannot defeat are cosmic entities like the Phoenix and Apocalypse who have every superpower he wants and throw hands with the Phoenix.

Really interesting battle. Akira is a masterpiece of animation from the golden era auf anime. 80's. But the Manga holds way more details and stuff, but still a all time favorite, when a hero became a villain with a tragic backstory.

Deku black clover vs asta My Hero academia Death Battle

I would like to see you react to all Star Wars Anime Openings by ForeverRed3000, they are not official, but they are very well made, almost makes you not think about that they are just Edited Together, I would really like to see you watch them and hear what you think of them.

Nah, Phoenix is destroying tetsuo, and I honestly don't remember the circumstances but, magneto shouldn't beat Phoenix... Phoenix is a multi-universal being, that existed before the universe... Maybe if jean grey stays in complete control the whole time, but even so, I doubt it. Tetsuo loses control and his power runs rampant, jean grey loses control and the being that is giving her power takes over, like Naruto for example... And jean grey was chosen by the Phoenix force not because together they would be powerful, but because jean grey has enough untapped potential, that she could handle a lot of power, so really the Phoenix force is on a different level, magneto is very very powerful for a mutant, in his average state (which is saying a lot) but Phoenix force has to be compared to God type beings like death and eternity... The one above all can beat it, but he or she is literally called "the one above all", so maybe the living tribunal, who is also a multi universal being... Meaning they exist in every universe as one being... Phoenix force is a very crazy character, and knowing death battle, they would point out that the Phoenix force is the living energy of every telepath in that universe, so if tetsuo is in the same universe, that would include him.

This People seemn pretty bias. Because I dont know much about Magneto, but even after watching him in the Intro, theres no way he can defeat Tetsuo. At the End of Akira, Tetsuo turned into an adult, metaphorically, and transformed into a new Universe. Tetsuo is litteraly a Universal Threat, and while its hard to say how much controll and Combatpower he got, you can savely say Magneto has no means of hurting him. I give him that, if he kills him before he can enter that State, he wins probably. But Deathbattle let Situations escalate usually to let us see the full Potencial of everyone. So if you care for an accurate Result, its wrong. If you just enjoy the Show, yeah fine why not?

what's wrong with your eyelash

I think they are going to have a problem with Magento. With WW2, he has a set point in his history. While other characters history can be moved forward as time goes by, eventually they will have to kill off Magneto because they can't move his history forward. WW2 is a very important part of his history, so it's going to get to a point where he going to have to die of old age.

There's no such thing as human race?

BS, its not possible to kill a guy who literally becomes a god who is one with his own universe ⚡ Fun fact: Stephen Spielberg said akira and spirited away are the greatest animations ever made

First, Really :D

This is so dumb. They conveniently ass pulled a scene where magneto contains tetsuos universe. Illogical. Magneto may be able to destroy things WITHIN tetsuo universe but not the universe itself. Just because somebody can control nuclear energy, doesnt mean they can kill a god

F Death Battle. Punks always favor the western comics when pitted against manga/anime characters.
