Fun fact. The creator of Popeye was actually was a sailor in real life, and he loved eating spinach. He also voiced Popeye too. That wimpy looking sailor that shown on the clip, was a episode where Popeye killed him, cause he found him annoying.

one of the best finale's of all time, and it came from popeye vs saitama of all matchups.

Sadly, in this episode, Death Battle got a copyright strike, forcing them to remove the end of analysis quotes (Saitama's was, "I guess that takes care of that." and Popeye's was him singing, "I'm Popeye the sailor man!"). From that point on, Death Battle stopped doing end of analysis quotes and stopped playing clips from the combatants' shows to try to avoid future copyright strikes.

Fun fact: the reason why they had an 8-bit style appear (outside of being just a simply cool idea) is due to the fact that Popeye was the reason behind the creation of the game Donkey Kong and, by coincidence, Super Mario. You see: Shigeru Miyamoto back before Nintendo and the like wanted to create a game with Popeye rescuing Olive from Bluto, but couldn't get the rights and thus had to rework the original game and thus created Donkey Kong and the rest, as they say, is history.

The thing is that, even if we took into consideration Saitama's recent feats, he would *still* lose to Popeye because that's just how insurmountable the gap in power between them is. The former breaks the rules of his own universe quite easily, but Popeye literally never obeyed any to begin with. Which, to be fair, is pretty true to the character.

This battle was the most intense to funny one out there that definitely broken the internet with a storm, but it was a very amazing one 😄 so congratulations Ken on winning the DB streak. I can’t wait for next year and more DB on you guys’ channel. Also did anyone else gotten chills at the “Death Punch v Spinach Punch”?

Always remember, classic cartoon physics trump everything.... already knew when they first announced this battle that Popeye would win.

Between this and Scooby vs Courage, I think we can all agree that fighting a cartoon is a bad idea 😂

You guys would love One-Punch Man. It's the perfect combination of hilarious and awesome, and the anime is pretty short at the moment, so you'd be able to catch up pretty quickly. I really hope you check it out.

The best reaction finale to a DB season finale to a crossover debate finale most of us we've waited for.

Holy shit Ken went ALL IN with this one, goddamn.

One Punch man is such a good show, at least season 1 was. He worked his butt off to become the strongest, only to lose his hair and become depressed because he no longer has any challenges when fighting.

This Death Battle was a really good one! Glad you guys are reacting to it

So no lie, this was one of those "wtf" DBs for me but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice and intense with some comedy too. It was a great battle and congrats to Ken on winning the DB streak. This was such a fun follow along and loved ya'lls reaction to each battle

I knew Popeye would win by a landslide. The ridiculousness of the toon force just can’t be beat. Not to mention the feats of these characters are ridiculous on their own. I also think it’s hilarious when people try to seriously explain how the laws of toon force work.

This battle was very obviously a curbstomp from the moment the participants were revealed. But it's the only way they could ever do Saitama - one of the most requested characters in the history of Death Battle - until we ever get to see the full extent of his power (if at all). He is at his core a gag character. His entire premise is that he's ridiculously overpowered. The only choice you have is to pin him against another gag character. And Popeye was just a very obvious choice based on their similarities and parallels. Yeah, it was never a contest - but this is probably one of the only ways a Death Battle with Saitama could have ever been this well received, without copious amounts of nerd rage...

Glad you guys really enjoy Death Battle! 😊

A One Punch Man reaction series from you guys would be a lot of fun.

I'd love to see you guys react to One-Punch Man! The anime is only 2 seasons, 12 episodes each (around 20-24 minutes long) and I bet you'd love it.

An Amazing Death Battle and a great choice to end this year's betting on

Here are some fun Cartoon DEATH BATTLE vids to watch: Steven Universe VS Star Butterfly, Danny Phantom VS American Dragon Jake Long, Spongebob Squarepants VS Super Friends Aquaman. And some animes DEATH BATTLE: Deku VS Asta, All Might VS Might Guy, Sanji VS Rock Lee, Natsu VS Ace, Gray Fullbuster VS Esdeath, Beerus VS Sailor Galaxia, Sasuke VS Hiei.

I was so looking forward for you guys to see this episode of Death Battle. :) Saitama finally got what he was looking for, and this alone brought me so much joy.

Ken was like "Go big or go home, and I'm already home"

Just in time! This was wild af.

I was hoping for this one!

This is a reason why I love the internet, because crazy ideas like this can only come from the internet

I've been waiting for exactly this episode for who knows how long. Maybe a year.

The magnum opus

19:44 FUNFACT: This is a reference to EXACTLY how Jotaro KILLS DIO LOL

Fun fact Ichiro Oda the creator of One Piece actually based Luffys moves off of some of Popeyes and other cartoons.

Popeye and Saitama are the kind of guys to gladly tell you how they got strong

This is easily one of the best death battle and it’s so funny

I agree with others who have said you guys should watch One Punch Man, its a great show. After you finish the first 2 seasons i also suggest watching the fan made videos of OPMs fights.

It's like Hulk vs Broly all over again 😂

To answer your question of what a yottaton is, yottaton is basically a shorter way of saying septillion tons of TNT in versus debating with one yottaton being around the amount of energy needed to destroy a large planet like Jupiter for instance DB often uses this terminology to shorten saying the other word and it is confusing to those who aren't aware of the versus debating lingo.

It’s funny I was recently wondering when you would do this one! Ahoy!

I've seen Popeye, but I had no idea he was this badass 😂

What a perfect finale.

Ok this is weird... i was literally thinking of this DB this morning and like, I've got no idea of y'all are following the release dates or so but god-damn what a coincidence.

This match proves why cartoon characters who utilize "Toon Force" are basically unkillable. They can straight up just do whatever they want.

13:24 Bro asked a question I've been asking myself since I started watching Death battle(since the very first Superman vs Goku) , "WTF is a Yottaton?"😂

This is my favourite DB! This and the new Doctor Who vs Rick Shanshez

This is one of the best Death Battle fights Spinach vs Eggs (which in Japanese is Tama thus making him Sai-Tama) either which one both are great for building muscles

what a comeback from Ken 😆🎉

What if popeye fought the mask? Lol.

Oh boy, if only the One Punch man Manga was a source for this. That would have turned it around

Imma keep doing this till it happens!

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Well done Ken.

Two words: 'Toon Force. Roger Rabbit described it to detective Eddie Valiant (Who Framed Roger Rabbit? movie) as being able to do literally *anything* as long as it was funny. Some examples include Bugs Bunny, Wile E. Coyote (mostly defensive, to survive his own mistakes), & Tom & Jerry, to name just a few. When Saitama was punched out of the store & landed across the street, he landed in front of "Wimpy's Hamburgers." Wimpy is a friend of Popeye's & he seems to have gotten smart enough to keep himself fed...After all, his primary claim to fame back in the day was to "gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." He doesn't need to borrow from his friends any more. Can we take a moment to appreciate that every time the art & animation styles changed, they were literally breaking through into other dimensions?...That takes a lot of *power* ya' know.

This was a good reaction and do a reaction to Rick vs the doctor or Tatsumaki vs Mob next.

Hot damn my man went all in 😅

My favorite death battle!

You guys really should watch One Punch Man. You'll love it.

Ahh. Awesome. *CABLE VS BOOSTER GOLD!*

Hey Ken and Bethany, awesome video! Would you mind checking out Saitama vs hulk next, please and thank you!

It finally happened...the true conclusion of my running joke comments... I guess the only thing left to say is...Silver Vs Trunks one day?

As it is said, "Gag character power, or Gag force" is a limited version of Toon Force. The Gag character is a satire, however they do operate within some set rules or there is an in-universe explanation for why they are beyond what their world normally allows. One Punch Man, Arale, and Squirrel Girl at like this, even Deadpool has gone into this before where being a satire allowed them to break the normal restrictions of their world. Toon Force however has only one rule *anything can be done so long as its funny...even if only to the user*. The only restriction Toon Force normally gets is that either A: Its a toon world so everything or almost everything is in on the joke, or B: The user is too unhinged (or other emotional limitation) to focus enough to take serious advantage of this power to utilize it all the time to its full potential. To put it this way in Dragon Ball Super Beerus could have killed Arale with the Hakai, but had he used that on Bugs Bunny, Bugs would have just popped up behind, a giant pencil or other writing tool appear from the sky to draw him back in and then ended qith a quip...I could even see Beerus doing it multiple times only to have a fourth wall break where Bugs appears out of the writing tool of the manga artist while shouting "Stop!, I get it you want me to die. But bub, that's the joke. I'm a toon, I can't die. So uh....*chews carrot*...let me explain how this is supposed to go, I do something funny, he gets upset, he chases me, I mess with him in ever screwier ways, sometimes he wins, mostly I win, the audience gets a good laugh, ha ha hee hee, curtain falls, the end, okay, okay *dives back into the manga*.

You guys should definitely check out saitama vs garo animated by red haired dude it’s amazing action packed and funny I think you guys will like it

Hm, how very interesting, i hope you do Chuck Norris vs Segata Sanshiro at some point. Also, i would like to see you do Top 10 OTHER Disney Villains by ElectricDragon505 too.

I hope you do Mecha-Godzilla vs MegaZord =D

So, Popeye's 3D form there? That's Captain Strong, DC's expy of Popeye.

Fun fact, that spinach was a stand in for marijuana. Yes, Popeye (slang for being high) was a pro pot activist 😃

This battle was basically a character that can break reality vs a character that can shape reality. Saitama didn't stand a chance. A better match up for these two would be Saitama vs Superman and Popeye vs The Mask.

😂STOP! Just stop! I hold a masters degree in science! Stop explaining Popeye! With science! Just stop! 😅my brain hurts!

Bucky looks so cute in that sweater! 🥺

Highly suggest reacting to OPM You’d both love it

Saitama would still loose since... you know... cartoons... but actually what they said in the video of Saitama's powers not being litmitless is not really true. In a fight where he can't win he keeps getting stronger and stronger to the point where he again beats his oponent in one punch so technically he is kind of infinitely stong.

Information you guys may already know but Popeye was kinda ment to inspire kids to have spinach during the days of depression due to food being on high price after ww1 and before ww2.....plus I think there is actually a statue of Popeye in a spinach farm

Ryuko vs Shadow plz.

Beth-Ken-itely Not Definitive

Daaawwwwww Bucky with his sweater 🥰

Ken Wins! Can't wait to see the cosplay!

The most fun Death Battle I’ve ever watched. And I’m pretty sure the team animating it, had fun as well. Some people get angry at battles like these saying “Why animate a one-sided fight?!” But as long as the animation is fun to watch, I don’t really care how different the scales between each fighter is.:

Would recommend SpongeBob vs Aquaman during the interim

Saitama never had a chance because there are two absolute truths: 1) Popeye cannot be defeated after he eats his spinach. 2) Popeye will always eat his spinach.

All in my dude YYYEEAAAHHH

Bet those eggs have a ton of protein

Sasuke Uchiha vs Hiei next!!!

believe it or not.............they LOWBALL'd popeye. he has even more ridicules stuff that he's done. like one time, him and olive were on a haunted ghost ship, filled with asshole ghost who kept beating up popeye but he couldn't even touch them. then he ate some spinich and not only was he able to hit them, he turned them corporeal so that olive could grab them and sew them together to make a giant sail.

Nice dog

What a fight ahhh :3

toon philms originaly made with the strong argument pepole would like to watch it to escape their reality to something simpler. therefore the cartoons we knew first had as little as possible binded to reality physics and such... since that was the reason most impossible fits didn't had to had explanation nor to audiance or within the storyworld. we watchers learned to bend and accept appearantly to the level we can compare cartoons for kids with no boundaries with cartoons for abit more adults with abit more rulls... i didnt though it could happend i didnt though we could compare superman and dragonball too..

Petition for them to react to fate unlimited blade works abridged!

I'm bald....and some people annoyingly call me Saitama cause I'm kinda comical and do workout.....so I tell them...if your gonna label me an animated overpowered guy...I'd rather be Popeye....since I saw his shows as a kid....also....i like spinach

Can y'all do Vegeta vs Thor since y'all are big Marvel and dragon ball fans

Can y’all please react to Seth’s how strong is saber vid she belongs to the strongest franchise in fiction with their base abilities giving them irrelevant speed. & my power scaling subscriptions r all the proof we need, my other subs also prove it has the best written characters in anime.(which I made a playlist for) Like generic anime channel’s shirou vid, it’s billion$ budget & ufotable even come together to give us peak animation of any year they drop.

What if Saitama is actually a mutant? Usually mutants have physical or mental trauma that animates their dominant powers. One punch man tore himself on a smaller scale and didn't notice the gradual change based on the small-scale continuous trauma 🤔

This fight was the literal definition of what the absolute awesome hell 😂

Would you guys react to one punch man anime?

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO

Pls react to death battle SpongeBob vs aqua man pls

Poor doggo :(

Can you watch gogeta vs vegito

One punch man is amazing you should watch it, it has the same kind of humour that dbz has

I find it hard to belive popeye can beat satama

im gonna say Saitama won based on the fact he was designed to never lose xD I love Popeye tho...hope im not wrong, not that i bet any money on it lol

Popeye's just broken. 💪

Don't spoil Death Battles in the comments bozos

ngl they cooked

Hey guys react DB Asta vs Deku please!
