Then you add the racism angle on top of that to the mutants, and you can't exactly fault the humans in the story; racism in our world is abhorrent because we're all just humans. None are greater or lesser than anyone else simply because of their circumstances of their birth. But then you add in people who are born with the ability to fry you in an instant, and yeah.. humanity is kind of right to treat those people like warheads just walking around - especially when some of them can't control their powers. But that's unacceptable to Magneto, who has *lived* through what that sort of line of thinking leads to. And in the process, he becomes the very thing he fights against. I actually didn't know he turned over a new leaf, but I'm also glad that they kept his creed of 'Never again' - as Boomstick notes, he might not be out for supremacy any longer, but he won't wait around for you to threaten mutants either.
Magneto is a character where if you don't think about his powers he might come across as lame, thinking he can just control metal. But in reality he controls one the fundamental forces of nature itself. They kinda low balled what he can potentially do which is fine since he already had a pretty hefty lead over Tetsuo.

Magneto is what you would call a "Well-Intentioned Extremist". His ultimate goals are good, it's his methods that are the main problem. But at the end of the day, he is still someone that can be reasoned and negotiated with. And he's still perfectly capable of empathy and compassion, as shown by his willingness to come to the defense of Xavier & the X-Men, even when there is no tangible benefit for him to do so. I know of one situation where Professor Xavier was seriously ill, so Magneto "kidnapped" him from the Xavier Institute in order to treat his illness and save his life. And when the X-Men showed up to get Xavier back, Magneto willingly allowed them to take Xavier home without a fight. He's not really "Evil" per se, he occupies more of a grey area, as he will generally leave you alone as long as he doesn't see you as a threat to himself or other mutants.
Such a good battle. I'm so excited for Hercules Vs Sun Wukong. If you're interested in learning more about the Monkey King, I'd suggest the summary series by Overly Sarcastic Productions. A real good channel, videos aren't too lengthy.

Magneto is far to powerful to get harmed by a wooden gun, he can create literal impossible to break barriers, and can control every form of energy on the electromagnetic spectrum including radation hot enough to melt even the most durable metals. and if you exose any object to a powerful enough magnetic field it will magnetize
Sun Wukong is a character from the Chinese story known as Journey to the West. Basically, he is a monkey man who trained to be become the strongest and challeged the gods after being denied an official role as part of the gods. Who also, ate the furits of immortality and erased his name from the scrolls of the river sticks so he couldn't die. But he was defeated by the Buddha and sealed in a rock for many years. Fun fact: Sun Wukong's design and personality have inspired modern anime characters. Like Goku from Dragon Ball, and Monkey .D Luffy from One Piece

As for the next one, this is about the OGs, straight from Greek mythos and Journey to the West. From what I've heard, Herc has the most raw power between the two, but the Monkey King is a flying brick thanks to his seven layers of immortality.
The next Death Battle seems incredibly one-sided to me, considering Sun Wukong is immortal five times over. Learned how to live forever through martial arts, crossed his name out of the Book of the Dead, ate an entire orchard of Peaches of Immortality, drank several kegs of wine made from the same, and also consumed dozens of pills of immortality as well.
Ehh, while Sun is incredibly durable and nigh unkillable, he can still be hurt by unique enough weapons or substances. Such as the Samadhi fire. Or the venom from the scorpion demon.
@@Firesnake905 But the official rules of Death Battle don't let Hercules start the battle with knowledge of such esoteric weaknesses, and he's the wrong Greek God for being able to figure them out mid-fight.

the whole immortal times over shit is pure b.s he simply has 5 types of immortality. that is it. in eastern religoons even immortal people can die. he simply has 5 methods of survivability. . he is also no where near as powerful as marvel hercules who literally is strong enough to hold an entire universe. no character from journey to the west is even a planetary being
@@houseofaction DB is going to use the original mythology. They won't be using feats from games, shows, movies, etc unless it's displaying an actual feat from the mythology. Because of this, your argument of Marvel Hercules lifting an entire universe is invalid.
Sun Wukong is the protagonist of Journey to the West, yeah. And the same one that Goku's based off of. And, I'm pretty sure the Death Battle between him and Hercules would be using the original, mythological versions of them, which is gonna be extremely interesting.
If they’re going off the original mythology of the characters then sun wukong is going to win. Because even though Hercules became a god, Sun managed to trick the gods to become literally immortal.
@@Nazo-kage Think they already said pre godhood for both which is a bigger problem for Hercules since Wukong was already immortal at least 4 times over by the time he hit that point while Hercules was just very tough by mortal standards.
@@Lorekeeper72 if I remember correctly Wukong just went to sleep one night and was very surprised when he woke up in the afterlife since he was supposed to be immortal.
@@Nazo-kage Then he leveraged that bit of injustice to erase him name from the big books, removing himself from the jurisdiction of the underworld, before going on to consume the entire supply of heavenly peaches, which make you immortal, a large amount of the heavenly wine, made from the same peaches which also makes you immortal, and Laozi's entire stock of immortality pills, which also grant you immortality. The Jade Emperor threw everything he and the rest of heaven could think of at Wukong in an attempt to kill him with no effect.
Congrats, you got Sun Wukong's origin in one! He was also the inspiration for Goku, and DBZA's Trunks actually calls Goku Sun Wukong accidentally when they first meet
The application of magneto power is pretty insane, if you think of it as magnetism includes electromagnetic force being the one of the four fundamental force the universe. To put it in perspectives magneto can technically oneshot hulk and Superman with hulk being composed of gamma radiation and gamma is part of electromagnetic spectrum and Superman reliance on the sun can be effected by magneto Electromagnetic Spectrum powers as well. That not included the many levels of Electromagnetism that magneto can achieve or all the non-scientific applications that magneto could theoretically can use with magnetism such as Esoteric Magnetism which just mystical magnetism. Scary part is that magneto is an omega level mutant of magnetism which by definition mean he has an undefinable upper limit and you combine that with his genius level so you know he smart enough to use that power to it full effect, he can possibly be the most powerful mutant on the planet barring the reality warpers.
While Magneto has a huge amount of power at his disposal and the potential to affect the entire electromagnetic spectrum by proxy, it's not a common ability of his. He needs enough focus to pull off some of the more complex feats on this scale, so he usually opts for simply overpowering his opponents with raw force. While he's one of the more calculated characters, he's hardly a supergenius like Reed Richards, Tony Stark or Doctor Doom, so he can't just calculate nuclear and quantum physics on the fly. Ionizing the air is relatively simple compared to creating photons of a specific wavelength with no prior setup.
Looks like Magneto got revenge for his kids. Also Wukong is from Journey to the West, he is the Monkey King and he serves as the inspiration for a certain Super Saiyan...
To answer your question about Sun Wukong, yes, he is one of the main characters of Journey to the West. Wukong is the Monkey King, an incredibly impulsive and fight-happy stone monkey who spends the first few chapters of the book becoming immortal multiple times over, pissing off the entirety of heaven, and then beating the shit out of basically everyone that they send after him in retaliation. I would highly recommend Overly Sarcastic Productions' series on Journey to the West if you want to know more.
Ya see Kyle they did actually mention that the god of a new universe thing wasn’t part of the story they put a tag in the top right of the screen when they brought that up that stated that it wasn’t canon
Hercules VS Sun Wukong will be the first Death Battle to have two mythological legends face off against each other (Greek mythology VS Chinese mythology)
My favorite part was the later part of the fight after Tetsuo transformed. Amongst the chaos of his mind as body mutated out of control he cried out for a savior, and Magneto answered ending his pain and even showed sympathy towards him Also Magneto is in Every X-Men movie aside from most of the Wolverine solo movies and both his actors Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbenser (playing a younger Magneto) do amazing
Sun wukong is a mythology char from journey of the west which inspired stuff like Goku and other media with Hercules he comes from Greek mythology with his Greek name being Heracles,also they confirmed there not use budha wukong and god Hercules so it actually a debate
“Imagine just a boxing match with no powers” they did do that. TJ combo vs balrog (I mean TJ technically had a healing factor and a berserk mode but that was it power wise)
17:34 Did you already forget about Balrog vs TJ combo? I mean, I guess there were a bit of powers on Tj's side but still. That was just a boxing match and it was one of the most hype battles. 18:36 They didn't leave that detail about the alternate universe thing being non-canon out till now actually. It was in the sidebar at the top right when they talked about it. Right here: 12:48. That's how they get ya.
Loved every fight this season, mind you I've found that the winners seem clear if you know both sources well enough for most of them so far. Rooting for Wukong but i don't know Herc well. Great Vid as always.
the boxing match was one of the best episodes they did. tetsuo had no chance in any way, unless using the rising above time and space nonsense, in which case maybe. and mythology yay
I honestly didn't know who was going to win, (I wasn't 100% paying attention the first time) but I went with Magneto because comics. Also remember there has been a boxing death battle before that you reacted too. Aldo they did tell you before the fight that the creating a alternate universe was just in the animated version.
Sun Wukong....actually has an interesting tibit. He is from the chinese story of "Journey into the west" which is the typical heroes journey. But the most interesting thing is....the story was one of the inspirations for Dragon Ball. Sun Wukong in term was the basis for Goku (well before super saiyan) While Goku (early on) had a tail....Wukong was basically a giant monkey
Essentially sun wukong is a character in Chinese mythology who is basically trickster immortal who is a companion of a Buddhist monk in the poem journey to the west where he accompanies them to China to deliver some ancient Buddhist texts
yes your right when they mentioned that ur body has iron in it and you said not alot, in xmen 2 magneto sent a shapeshifter mutant to put more iron inside a guard that was keeping him in prison and when he came to check on magneto he ripped the iron out of his blood to escape a prison only made out of plastic, cause you know no metal is aloud near him when he's locked up
Next time is going to be very interesting. Rather than doing versions of these characters from comics or anime, they'll be doing the original mythological figures.
I love the expressions they made for the sprites. You can see that Magneto starts out annoyed, gets angry, then is horrified by Ego Death. Then as soon as he realizes Tetsuo subconsciously is begging for help, nothing can stop him. After the mercy kill, he's mentally and physically exhausted. Whoever did the spritework needs a raise. Also, it's entirely possible Magneto was in Japan looking for Quicksilver's killer.
To explain the Hercules thing in the Greek mythology, Hercules had to do Feats for a king to prove his godhood and be allowed to Mt. Olympus. One of them was to get an apple from a large tree which the only beings able to reach it, were titans. So to get it done, he assisted Atlas, the Titan who holds the sky, by holding the sky for a bit for Atlas so he could both rest a bit, and get the apple for Hercules. While the feat isn't scale-able, it's still an impressive feat.
As he said in the X-Men arcade game, "I AM MAGNETO, MASTER OF MAGNET" Love both characters alot but I knew Mags had this one. Tetsuo is strong but Magneto is on another level. The original marvel comic crossover, Secret Wars, actually had him teamed up with the heroes, despite everything he had done/was doing at the time, because his cause is truly a just one. Plus his backstory of being a holocaust survivor makes him a fascinating character.
This battle was more interesting than I thought it’d be, but I’m WAY more excited about the next time. Sun Wukong’s one of my favorite fictional characters of all time, and I’m so happy that they’re including mythology into Death Battle now
Also yeah, a LOT of things and characters are based off of Sun Wukong, including the character with the same name from RWBY, Infernape from Pokémon, and Goku
"Oh, how does Blue Apron feel about this?" "[...]began the third World War." "Okay, well..." Heh, not what many have in mind when they say "mistakes into miracles", but whatever.
Magneto has been in the X-Men films, which aren't part of the MCU. Sun Wukong, AKA the Monkey King, is from the Chinese novel Journey to the West, and for clarification, they're using the mythological Hercules, not the Disney, Marvel comics, or Record of Ragnarok versions. And I gotta be honest, I'm curious to see how they ended the next one considering both Hercules and Wukong are immortal deities. Fun fact, with Hercules being created around 600 BC and Sun Wukong being created in 1592, they are the oldest combatants in the show in terms of real-life age.
Next fight is Hercules (or Heracles if you're cultured) from the Greek/Roman myths VS Sun Wukong from Journey to the West. Death Battle is using the original mythological versions (but before they became a god/buddha).
Hercules vs Sun Wukong (Here’s how you pronounce it correctly: SUN-WOO-KONG) Two of the popular mythological figures. Heracles from Greece mythology (He’s only called Hercules in Rome and Disney made the name popular with their movie) Sun Wukong from Chinese mythology. “Journey is to the West” is where he the protagonist. The story did inspire aspects of Dragon Ball as well as many other anime/manga.
Goku is based off of Sun Wukong. Originally Goku was planned to be a actual monkey boy inspired by Sun Wukong, though Toriyama's editor at the time decided against it, saying that young boys wouldn't relate to a non-human protagonist, so Toriyama decided to make Goku more human like.
Yeah, Sun Wukong is a character from journey to the west. It'll be interesting to see who wins, cause I'm not sure of what their feats are historically.
with hercules it depends on which version? Marvel? dc? greek mythology? The 90s live action tv series? disney version? there has been so many. which version. the stats stated the marvel hercules once held up the sky.
Yes the next one is Hercules (though it should be Heracles) from Greek and Roman Mythology and Sun Wukong from Journey to the West. Heracles is his original Greek name. Hercules is his Roman name.
There are a number of versions of Magneto that ultimately became good. Two that come to mind are X-Men Evolution; at the series finale, Xavier had a vision of the future where Magneto joined the X-Men and helped train students at the mansion. Another is in Age of Apocalypse, where Xavier was killed. Magneto, in his grief, mended his ways with his old friend and became the leader of the X-Men in order to free the world from Apocalypse's tyranny.
18:37: "Of course they leave that part out" Actually, in the black box in the upper-hand corner at 12:49, they mentioned the anime ending wasn't canon (the one where Tetsuo became the god of a new universe)
The reason the 1988 Akira animes ending wasn’t canon is because the creator didn’t finished the manga’s ending at that time. He only completed only half of the series. So that’s why they have to make their own ending for Akira. While they finished the movie adaptation,he went back to finish the manga and completed the actual ending for Akira. As you saw the two differences between the anime and manga. Seriously you should definitely watch Akira. It’s a anime masterpiece,but only pick the original English dub version. It has some good voice acting.
BDK: I don't have any product in my hair Me: Your hair looks exactly Super supporters: I can see every small detail in his hair to say it is different BDK: oki
Sun Wukong (known as Son Goku in Japanese), the Monkey King, a notorious trickster. He got immortality about seven times over (taught by his mentor Puti Zushi, erased his name from the book of the dead, stole and ate the peaches of immortality, stole and drank the wine of the gods, stole and consumed Laozi's pills of immortality, had whatever mortality he had left burned out of him when the gods tried to immolate him to distill the pills out, ate some Ginseng fruit on the Journey to the West, and was given Buddhist equivalents of the same foods upon reaching the temple of the Buddha). He possesses superhuman strength (he once carried two heaven mountains on his shoulders while running at the speed of a meteor), the ability to travel one li (54,000 km) in a single somersault, and the 72 Earthly Transformations. Each and every one of his hairs has transformative powers, and he can control the elements and create copies of himself. His main weapon is the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a staff that can change size, elongate, fly, copy itself, and attack based on its master's will. It weighs 7,960 kg. He's most well-known by his self-proclaimed title, 'Great Sage, Equal of Heaven'. And he can back it up; he beat the entire army of heaven single-handedly. 100,000 celestial warriors, 28 constellations, all four heavenly kings, and Nezha, their greatest general (they became friends later). He also attained Buddhahood after the Journey to the West, where he learned humility. This makes him 'a teacher of the gods and humans', putting him above both.
there is no such thing as a mythological version of wukong. he comes from a BOOK. and none of the characters in journey to the west are Universal let alone planatery
he has appeared all x-men movies and a couple of others (xmen, united, last stand, first class, days of future's past apocalypse, dark phoenix, wolverine)
So correction nuclear fusion is actually pretty easy. In fact that's the difference between a thermonuclear bomb and a nuclear bomb. Thermonuclear uses fusion of tritium ( a heavy isotope of hydrogen) nuclear is fission of haevy unstable isotopes. The part we havent figured out yet is how to make it energy efficient current controlled fusion projects take more energy then we get out of it .
Sun Wukong is a Chinese god that the journey to the west includes, allot of things are inspired from him from Goku in DBZ to the character of the same name from RWBY, even the power Son uses in RWBY are references to the character, from his staff weapon to making clones of himself. Check out the new game that hopefully will be out soon Black Myth: WUKONG HYPE!!!!!
There's an episode of xmen the animated series where Magneto was weakened, yet was still able to utilize a ship to get himself out of it. A ship, while weakened. Also, yes. SON wookong is journey to the west, one of the basic inspirations for Goku from dbz.
The Sun from RWBY is based on Sun Wukong. And it seems they’re using all incarnations of Hercules/Heracles and Sun Wukong. So you’ll see Marvel, DC, RWBY, Lego, Dragon Ball, Disney, and some other weird things mentioned. If it’s for feats or just footage in the background.
To be perfectly clear: if it’s magnetic, it belongs to Magneto and you should probably just set it down so your arm doesn’t go with it 🤣 yes your blood too, he’ll just rip your blood out of your body or move it to drag you around. Also electricity and magnetism are somewhat interchangeable, they’re generally considered to be linked and one can generate or often redirect the other. This is how Magneto was able to contain the explosion Tetsuo created.
Yes, Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, is from Journey to the West. Probably the most famous figure of Chinese mythology. He'll be going against one of the most famous figures from Greek/Roman mythology, Hercules. I'm not sure how they'll make this work when going with the myth versions though since a lot of a lot is up to interpretation and since they come from real world religions, followers of each religion will likely interpret their own as stronger.
also Magneto....may or may not (I dont think theyve confirmed or denied it but it has been fact for decades) be the father of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver
Looks like Death Battle's going a little different with the next one. Hercules of Greek mythology versus Sun Wukong of Journey to the West. Battle of the mythological heroes, West versus East.
next Death Battle is a battle between mythological heroes. Son of Zeus: Hercules Vs Monkey King: Sun WuKong And you are right, Sun WuKong is from the story "Journey to the West" prepare for a lot of lore dump of myths and some 'kind of sort of but not really' material for Dragon Ball.
Flash: Man, my fight with Quicksilver was the most one sided Death Battle. Thor: Fool! Tis was my bout with Raiden that honor belongs to! Omni-Man: Not even close, it was my fight, think! Sun Wukong: Hold my wine!
Magneto is a very complex character but to abridge as child he suffered through the Holocaust one of the worst events of human history became an Anti-Villain eventually realized the error of his ways when he started to become the very thing he hated and became a bit of an Anti-Hero.
Reminder to ya Duck, there are different levels of mutants, with the highest being Omega Level, which can shake the planet/defy reality, examples being X-Man/Cable, Storm, Charles Xavier, Apocalypse, and Santa. Yes. You read that right, Santa is an Omega Level Mutant in the Marvel Comics. EDIT: As for the thing about iron in blood for Magneto? There may not be a lot, but if he focuses hard and long enough, he can just fuck up the blood stream.
So the next death battle is going to be a mythology battle where they compare Hercules to Sun Wukong and don't use any adaptations, like with the marvel's version of Hercules
Hercules is a Greek demigod and the Greek god of strength. Sun wukong is a journey to the west character that Goku is based in (a lot of anime take inspiration from that story), and also a Chinese mythology character. And yes sun from rwby is based on him as well (like many rwby characters taking after stories)

If they’re going off the original mythology of the characters then sun wukong is going to win.
Because even though Hercules became a god, Sun managed to trick the gods to become literally immortal.
@@Nazo-kage Think they already said pre godhood for both which is a bigger problem for Hercules since Wukong was already immortal at least 4 times over by the time he hit that point while Hercules was just very tough by mortal standards.
@@Lorekeeper72 if I remember correctly Wukong just went to sleep one night and was very surprised when he woke up in the afterlife since he was supposed to be immortal.
@@Nazo-kage Then he leveraged that bit of injustice to erase him name from the big books, removing himself from the jurisdiction of the underworld, before going on to consume the entire supply of heavenly peaches, which make you immortal, a large amount of the heavenly wine, made from the same peaches which also makes you immortal, and Laozi's entire stock of immortality pills, which also grant you immortality. The Jade Emperor threw everything he and the rest of heaven could think of at Wukong in an attempt to kill him with no effect.
Congrats, you got Sun Wukong's origin in one! He was also the inspiration for Goku, and DBZA's Trunks actually calls Goku Sun Wukong accidentally when they first meet
The application of magneto power is pretty insane, if you think of it as magnetism includes electromagnetic force being the one of the four
fundamental force the universe.
To put it in perspectives magneto can technically oneshot hulk and Superman with hulk being composed of gamma radiation and gamma is part of electromagnetic spectrum and Superman reliance on the sun can be effected by magneto Electromagnetic Spectrum powers as well.
That not included the many levels of Electromagnetism that magneto can achieve or all the non-scientific applications that magneto could theoretically can use with magnetism such as Esoteric Magnetism which just mystical magnetism.
Scary part is that magneto is an omega level mutant of magnetism which by definition mean he has an undefinable upper limit and you combine that with his genius level so you know he smart enough to use that power to it full effect, he can possibly be the most powerful mutant on the planet barring the reality warpers.
Please remember that gamma radiation is considered a supernatural force in Marvel comics. As there it comes from the Devil himself.
@@SomeRandomDutchGuy1 Through that extension, he has some control over Hell itself. Which is saying a lot.
While Magneto has a huge amount of power at his disposal and the potential to affect the entire electromagnetic spectrum by proxy, it's not a common ability of his. He needs enough focus to pull off some of the more complex feats on this scale, so he usually opts for simply overpowering his opponents with raw force. While he's one of the more calculated characters, he's hardly a supergenius like Reed Richards, Tony Stark or Doctor Doom, so he can't just calculate nuclear and quantum physics on the fly. Ionizing the air is relatively simple compared to creating photons of a specific wavelength with no prior setup.
Looks like Magneto got revenge for his kids.
Also Wukong is from Journey to the West, he is the Monkey King and he serves as the inspiration for a certain Super Saiyan...
To answer your question about Sun Wukong, yes, he is one of the main characters of Journey to the West.
Wukong is the Monkey King, an incredibly impulsive and fight-happy stone monkey who spends the first few chapters of the book becoming immortal multiple times over, pissing off the entirety of heaven, and then beating the shit out of basically everyone that they send after him in retaliation.
I would highly recommend Overly Sarcastic Productions' series on Journey to the West if you want to know more.
Ya see Kyle they did actually mention that the god of a new universe thing wasn’t part of the story they put a tag in the top right of the screen when they brought that up that stated that it wasn’t canon
Hercules VS Sun Wukong will be the first Death Battle to have two mythological legends face off against each other (Greek mythology VS Chinese mythology)
My favorite part was the later part of the fight after Tetsuo transformed. Amongst the chaos of his mind as body mutated out of control he cried out for a savior, and Magneto answered ending his pain and even showed sympathy towards him
Also Magneto is in Every X-Men movie aside from most of the Wolverine solo movies and both his actors Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbenser (playing a younger Magneto) do amazing
Exactly, he was told he can't control it, and asked for help, and gave him as clean a kill as I've EVER seen in a death battle
6:43 no, Magneto does NOT have telekinesis powers, he has Magnesis powers. They literally just got through explaining that my guy.
Telekinesis just means movement at distance. Magnesis qualifies.
@@JoeThomas-lu6fy no, telekinesis is movement with *_the mind,_* using telepathy.
@@CaptainCFalcon telekinesis
ˌtɛlɪkɪˈniːsɪs
noun
the supposed ability to move objects at a distance by mental power or *_other non-physical means_* .
Sun wukong is a mythology char from journey of the west which inspired stuff like Goku and other media with Hercules he comes from Greek mythology with his Greek name being Heracles,also they confirmed there not use budha wukong and god Hercules so it actually a debate
“Imagine just a boxing match with no powers” they did do that. TJ combo vs balrog (I mean TJ technically had a healing factor and a berserk mode but that was it power wise)
17:34 Did you already forget about Balrog vs TJ combo? I mean, I guess there were a bit of powers on Tj's side but still. That was just a boxing match and it was one of the most hype battles.
18:36 They didn't leave that detail about the alternate universe thing being non-canon out till now actually. It was in the sidebar at the top right when they talked about it. Right here: 12:48.
That's how they get ya.
Loved every fight this season, mind you I've found that the winners seem clear if you know both sources well enough for most of them so far. Rooting for Wukong but i don't know Herc well. Great Vid as always.
Magneto is easily one of my favourite marvel characters. It always makes me happy to see when he gets appreciation.
the boxing match was one of the best episodes they did. tetsuo had no chance in any way, unless using the rising above time and space nonsense, in which case maybe. and mythology yay
I honestly didn't know who was going to win, (I wasn't 100% paying attention the first time) but I went with Magneto because comics.
Also remember there has been a boxing death battle before that you reacted too.
Aldo they did tell you before the fight that the creating a alternate universe was just in the animated version.
Sun Wukong....actually has an interesting tibit. He is from the chinese story of "Journey into the west" which is the typical heroes journey. But the most interesting thing is....the story was one of the inspirations for Dragon Ball. Sun Wukong in term was the basis for Goku (well before super saiyan)
While Goku (early on) had a tail....Wukong was basically a giant monkey

This was a sad fight, ending with Tetsuo begging Magneto for help and Magneto ultimately putting Tetsuo out of his misery.
Essentially sun wukong is a character in Chinese mythology who is basically trickster immortal who is a companion of a Buddhist monk in the poem journey to the west where he accompanies them to China to deliver some ancient Buddhist texts
Based on the timing you posted the Thor and Omni Man fights, I didn’t expect this to come out so soon
Same
yes your right when they mentioned that ur body has iron in it and you said not alot, in xmen 2 magneto sent a shapeshifter mutant to put more iron inside a guard that was keeping him in prison and when he came to check on magneto he ripped the iron out of his blood to escape a prison only made out of plastic, cause you know no metal is aloud near him when he's locked up
Except magneto somehow blew someone head by using the iron in them
@@gameuniverse5973 hey im just saying what i saw in the movie
@@iron_pirate76 Mystic injected liquid metal into the guard. That's why, magneto was able to escape.
0:05 trust me nobody's surprised
11:00 I will admit something: the first time I saw Tetsuo’s grotesque transformation, I was scarred until now.
Oh man I feel the same way this traumatized me when I was a kid
@@fuecoco424 but now, every time I see it, I can’t help but feel sorry for him, granted it’s still gross, but now I feel the emotional pain.
Next time is going to be very interesting. Rather than doing versions of these characters from comics or anime, they'll be doing the original mythological figures.
I love the expressions they made for the sprites. You can see that Magneto starts out annoyed, gets angry, then is horrified by Ego Death. Then as soon as he realizes Tetsuo subconsciously is begging for help, nothing can stop him. After the mercy kill, he's mentally and physically exhausted. Whoever did the spritework needs a raise.
Also, it's entirely possible Magneto was in Japan looking for Quicksilver's killer.
Akira is Kanye West's favorite anime.
To explain the Hercules thing in the Greek mythology, Hercules had to do Feats for a king to prove his godhood and be allowed to Mt. Olympus. One of them was to get an apple from a large tree which the only beings able to reach it, were titans. So to get it done, he assisted Atlas, the Titan who holds the sky, by holding the sky for a bit for Atlas so he could both rest a bit, and get the apple for Hercules. While the feat isn't scale-able, it's still an impressive feat.
As he said in the X-Men arcade game, "I AM MAGNETO, MASTER OF MAGNET"
Love both characters alot but I knew Mags had this one. Tetsuo is strong but Magneto is on another level. The original marvel comic crossover, Secret Wars, actually had him teamed up with the heroes, despite everything he had done/was doing at the time, because his cause is truly a just one. Plus his backstory of being a holocaust survivor makes him a fascinating character.
This battle was more interesting than I thought it’d be, but I’m WAY more excited about the next time. Sun Wukong’s one of my favorite fictional characters of all time, and I’m so happy that they’re including mythology into Death Battle now
Also yeah, a LOT of things and characters are based off of Sun Wukong, including the character with the same name from RWBY, Infernape from Pokémon, and Goku
Sun Wukong is a what inspired Son Goku. Dragonball was originally a new take on Sun Wukong’s story before it became a story about alien supermen.
The end of this battle legit made me tear up, shit was amazing imo.
"Oh, how does Blue Apron feel about this?"
"[...]began the third World War."
"Okay, well..."
Heh, not what many have in mind when they say "mistakes into miracles", but whatever.
Magneto has been in the X-Men films, which aren't part of the MCU.
Sun Wukong, AKA the Monkey King, is from the Chinese novel Journey to the West, and for clarification, they're using the mythological Hercules, not the Disney, Marvel comics, or Record of Ragnarok versions. And I gotta be honest, I'm curious to see how they ended the next one considering both Hercules and Wukong are immortal deities.
Fun fact, with Hercules being created around 600 BC and Sun Wukong being created in 1592, they are the oldest combatants in the show in terms of real-life age.
Next fight is Hercules (or Heracles if you're cultured) from the Greek/Roman myths VS Sun Wukong from Journey to the West. Death Battle is using the original mythological versions (but before they became a god/buddha).
Hercules vs Sun Wukong (Here’s how you pronounce it correctly: SUN-WOO-KONG)
Two of the popular mythological figures.
Heracles from Greece mythology (He’s only called Hercules in Rome and Disney made the name popular with their movie)
Sun Wukong from Chinese mythology. “Journey is to the West” is where he the protagonist. The story did inspire aspects of Dragon Ball as well as many other anime/manga.
Sun Wukong, AKA, The Monkey King. Yes, he is from journey to the west and also the inspiration for Akira Toriyama to create Son Goku.
Goku is based off of Sun Wukong. Originally Goku was planned to be a actual monkey boy inspired by Sun Wukong, though Toriyama's editor at the time decided against it, saying that young boys wouldn't relate to a non-human protagonist, so Toriyama decided to make Goku more human like.
And now we know that people can relate to non-human protagonists, thanks to Disney.
And Isekai.
And e621.
Every villain is the hero in their own story
there is a death battle where its basically no powers just boxing match its called balrog vs tj combo
17:37 TJ combo vs Balrog
It’s actually the original characters from their respective mythology!
The songs called ego death :)
"how does blue apron feel about this?" I don't know why but that sent me 🤣😭💀
Yeah, Sun Wukong is a character from journey to the west. It'll be interesting to see who wins, cause I'm not sure of what their feats are historically.
with hercules it depends on which version? Marvel? dc? greek mythology? The 90s live action tv series? disney version? there has been so many. which version.
the stats stated the marvel hercules once held up the sky.
Yes the next one is Hercules (though it should be Heracles) from Greek and Roman Mythology and Sun Wukong from Journey to the West.
Heracles is his original Greek name. Hercules is his Roman name.
Magnetokinesis is the proper term for Magneto's ability
There are a number of versions of Magneto that ultimately became good. Two that come to mind are X-Men Evolution; at the series finale, Xavier had a vision of the future where Magneto joined the X-Men and helped train students at the mansion. Another is in Age of Apocalypse, where Xavier was killed. Magneto, in his grief, mended his ways with his old friend and became the leader of the X-Men in order to free the world from Apocalypse's tyranny.
I remember said boxing Death Battle to be one of most well animated ones among the fandom.
“Balrog vs TJ Combo” ring a bell?
That was a close but epic battle! But Magneto is just that OP.
15:58-He asked Magneto to help, indeed.
16:49-He respected his fallen opponent.
5:42 - Hercules holding a sky is a part of Greek Mythology, witch is a story almost as old as humanity itself.
You're a class act as reactor mate. Keep up the good work
"There's iron in your blood."
"Not that much!"
Even "not that much" is just enough for Magneto
18:37: "Of course they leave that part out"
Actually, in the black box in the upper-hand corner at 12:49, they mentioned the anime ending wasn't canon (the one where Tetsuo became the god of a new universe)
17:35 Balrog vs TJ Combo says hi
Son Wukon is a character of the chinese culture that inspired several characters, the most iconic being Son Goku when he was a kid.
The reason the 1988 Akira animes ending wasn’t canon is because the creator didn’t finished the manga’s ending at that time. He only completed only half of the series. So that’s why they have to make their own ending for Akira. While they finished the movie adaptation,he went back to finish the manga and completed the actual ending for Akira. As you saw the two differences between the anime and manga.
Seriously you should definitely watch Akira. It’s a anime masterpiece,but only pick the original English dub version. It has some good voice acting.
17:35 you literally described Balrog vs TJ Combo, an episode which you didn't think was boring
BDK: I don't have any product in my hair
Me: Your hair looks exactly
Super supporters: I can see every small detail in his hair to say it is different

If I remember correctly, Magneto was in almost every X-Men movie except X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Logan.
Sun Wukong (known as Son Goku in Japanese), the Monkey King, a notorious trickster.
He got immortality about seven times over (taught by his mentor Puti Zushi, erased his name from the book of the dead, stole and ate the peaches of immortality, stole and drank the wine of the gods, stole and consumed Laozi's pills of immortality, had whatever mortality he had left burned out of him when the gods tried to immolate him to distill the pills out, ate some Ginseng fruit on the Journey to the West, and was given Buddhist equivalents of the same foods upon reaching the temple of the Buddha).
He possesses superhuman strength (he once carried two heaven mountains on his shoulders while running at the speed of a meteor), the ability to travel one li (54,000 km) in a single somersault, and the 72 Earthly Transformations. Each and every one of his hairs has transformative powers, and he can control the elements and create copies of himself.
His main weapon is the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a staff that can change size, elongate, fly, copy itself, and attack based on its master's will. It weighs 7,960 kg.
He's most well-known by his self-proclaimed title, 'Great Sage, Equal of Heaven'. And he can back it up; he beat the entire army of heaven single-handedly. 100,000 celestial warriors, 28 constellations, all four heavenly kings, and Nezha, their greatest general (they became friends later). He also attained Buddhahood after the Journey to the West, where he learned humility. This makes him 'a teacher of the gods and humans', putting him above both.
Honestly, if they do the mythological versions of these characters, Wukong should ve the winner due to pure power and also lots of hax.
there is no such thing as a mythological version of wukong. he comes from a BOOK. and none of the characters in journey to the west are Universal let alone planatery
he has appeared all x-men movies and a couple of others (xmen, united, last stand, first class, days of future's past apocalypse, dark phoenix, wolverine)
17:34. You've reacted to it, balrog vs tj
So correction nuclear fusion is actually pretty easy. In fact that's the difference between a thermonuclear bomb and a nuclear bomb. Thermonuclear uses fusion of tritium ( a heavy isotope of hydrogen) nuclear is fission of haevy unstable isotopes. The part we havent figured out yet is how to make it energy efficient current controlled fusion projects take more energy then we get out of it .
Sun Wukong is a Chinese god that the journey to the west includes, allot of things are inspired from him from Goku in DBZ to the character of the same name from RWBY, even the power Son uses in RWBY are references to the character, from his staff weapon to making clones of himself. Check out the new game that hopefully will be out soon Black Myth: WUKONG HYPE!!!!!
Sun wukong isn't a god, he is starts out as a demon, than evolves and becomes a sage, and a psuedogod
Next Death Battle will be very interesting.
“That’s disgusting~ but at least there’s metal inside.” Great out of context quote from our boi
There's an episode of xmen the animated series where Magneto was weakened, yet was still able to utilize a ship to get himself out of it.
A ship, while weakened.
Also, yes. SON wookong is journey to the west, one of the basic inspirations for Goku from dbz.
The Sun from RWBY is based on Sun Wukong. And it seems they’re using all incarnations of Hercules/Heracles and Sun Wukong. So you’ll see Marvel, DC, RWBY, Lego, Dragon Ball, Disney, and some other weird things mentioned. If it’s for feats or just footage in the background.
To be perfectly clear: if it’s magnetic, it belongs to Magneto and you should probably just set it down so your arm doesn’t go with it 🤣 yes your blood too, he’ll just rip your blood out of your body or move it to drag you around.
Also electricity and magnetism are somewhat interchangeable, they’re generally considered to be linked and one can generate or often redirect the other. This is how Magneto was able to contain the explosion Tetsuo created.
Yes, Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, is from Journey to the West. Probably the most famous figure of Chinese mythology. He'll be going against one of the most famous figures from Greek/Roman mythology, Hercules. I'm not sure how they'll make this work when going with the myth versions though since a lot of a lot is up to interpretation and since they come from real world religions, followers of each religion will likely interpret their own as stronger.
also Magneto....may or may not (I dont think theyve confirmed or denied it but it has been fact for decades) be the father of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver
Looks like Death Battle's going a little different with the next one. Hercules of Greek mythology versus Sun Wukong of Journey to the West. Battle of the mythological heroes, West versus East.
next Death Battle is a battle between mythological heroes.
Son of Zeus: Hercules
Vs
Monkey King: Sun WuKong
And you are right, Sun WuKong is from the story "Journey to the West" prepare for a lot of lore dump of myths and some 'kind of sort of but not really' material for Dragon Ball.
Magneto is actually a father. His kids are Scarlet Witch (Wanda in the movies) and Quicksilver
nope that was retconned, he is no longer their father and they are not even mutants
@@houseofaction That maybe in the movies, but I don’t think it’s that way in the comics.
One of the best 1 minute melee and death battles are just straight up boxers with no powers
TJ Combo Vs Balrog
Ippo vs Little Mac
DB: Mentions the Brotherhood.
Duck: Who?
Remember that the Scarlet Witch was a member of that. They mentioned it before.
Sun Wukong is the name of the Monkey King.
Flash: Man, my fight with Quicksilver was the most one sided Death Battle.
Thor: Fool! Tis was my bout with Raiden that honor belongs to!
Omni-Man: Not even close, it was my fight, think!
Sun Wukong: Hold my wine!
Magneto is a very complex character but to abridge as child he suffered through the Holocaust one of the worst events of human history became an Anti-Villain eventually realized the error of his ways when he started to become the very thing he hated and became a bit of an Anti-Hero.
If I remember correctly it is Hercules versus the monkey king.
Goku is a character based on Sun Wukong.
I can't wait for you to do Hercules vs Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong has long since my favorite character from mythology.
Reminder to ya Duck, there are different levels of mutants, with the highest being Omega Level, which can shake the planet/defy reality, examples being X-Man/Cable, Storm, Charles Xavier, Apocalypse, and Santa. Yes. You read that right, Santa is an Omega Level Mutant in the Marvel Comics.
EDIT: As for the thing about iron in blood for Magneto? There may not be a lot, but if he focuses hard and long enough, he can just fuck up the blood stream.
Yeah... A Gram is a LOT when talking about most drugs.
So the next death battle is going to be a mythology battle where they compare Hercules to Sun Wukong and don't use any adaptations, like with the marvel's version of Hercules
Hercules is a Greek demigod and the Greek god of strength. Sun wukong is a journey to the west character that Goku is based in (a lot of anime take inspiration from that story), and also a Chinese mythology character. And yes sun from rwby is based on him as well (like many rwby characters taking after stories)
