“Remember when you were fighting Quicksilver and was he was thrown into a samurai statue holding a sword? It was me Barry, I put that statue there to make it seem like you won with your own skills but it was actually me who was responsible for killing Quicksilver!”
I like how they added that into the fight. Gives it a callback to an earlier battle and it's kinda funny that he just put a statue with a sword in the middle of a field.
But it wasn't important. There's an infinite amount of other goku blacks that still have the ring on. When you kill goku black and disintegrate his body, you're also removing the ring from him and destroying the ring, but that doesn't affect his other timelines. Having him win by removing the ring was just really stupid and completely disregarded the actual way it works and every other time GB died already in the battle. It should've been a draw. They should've fought for all eternity.
Fun fact: Here, in Latin America (except countries like Brazil or others that don’t speak Spanish, 2 yrs later I’m editing this XD), both Reverse flash and Goku black are dubbed by the same actor: Mario Castañeda.
Seeing that the Flashes stomp both Archie Sonic and Dragon Ball Super makes me wonder what they were thinking when they put poor Quicksilver against Flash...
He GLANCED at the cup before he smugged and changing from punching Black to punching the cup out of his hand Looking back at this is reminding me how amazing the animation is lmao
"I'm sorry, was that important?" *phases through Goku Black, drags him across the planet, and throws him into the sun* Easily one of the best moments in the history of Death Battle, hands down. It’s a very simple line, but it’s the delivery that gives me chills.
Everyone knows the real reason RF started the fight wasn't because of the destruction Goku Black caused, it was because Goku Black interrupted his "It was me Barry!" monologue. Destroy the planet, or even the universe. Whatever, Thawne will just go to another timeline. The monologue though, that's irreplaceable, and it's interruption is just unforgiveable.
"It was me, Barry. I tampered with Ben's Omnitrix so it wouldn't activate its safety protocol which would eventually lead to Green Lantern winning and inviting you to his victory party in the watch tower which gave me enough time to kill Iris."
The fact that people are revisiting the "It was me Barry" meme for previous Death Battles is - in a strange way - pretty amusing. Although having gone back and forth on Ben Vs GL for the longest time, I'll say Hal getting past the Omnitrix's defenses is honestly feasible; All Lantern needs to do is outspeed the Ominitrix's AI, and based on several of his feats, he/his constructs are more than capable of doing that. More than anything else, that match up made me understand the "no limits fallacy", especially given the Omnitrix and Alien X. It's always more reliable to go off of the original source material and what a character HAS done, as opposed to fan conjecture and what people have CLAIMED they can do. And when you have characters like Ben and Hal, who are seemingly overpowered until they aren't (Ex. Ben's watch glitching out or Batman pickpocketing his ring), you sort of have to give them the benefit of a doubt and scale there most impressive feats fairly. Simply put, the path of "this character can do anything because I like them so much" is a precarious rabbit hole I'd advise people to steer clear of.
I love the idea of Zoom just being some random petty bastard who goes out of his way to tamper with Death Battles to create the most controversial victories just to get a rise out of Barry and the internet
Some people question how Reverse Flash would figure out the ring is the source of Goku Black's paradox powers. Reverse Flash comes from a franchise where there are entire factions of people who get incredible powers from rings, some of which even being friends with Barry. I'd be surprised if it wasn't one of the first things he'd consider taking away.
Reverse-Flash can detect time anomalies, so it wouldn't take much for him to detect the energy from the Time Ring. And even if he didn't, he *would* take the ring off and destroy it, just to be petty. There's no way Goku Black could figure out the Negative Speed Force is what gives Reverse-Flash his time paradox powers, nor would he know to neutralize it. Unlike anime, Eobard isn't stupid enough to explain it to Goku Black.
@@Animeaddiction Tbf even if Goku Black DID discern the Speed Force, he has no way to separate Thawne from it. Remember, the DC multiverse is comprised of _infinite_ universes, and above and below those universes lay an _infinite_ number of layers of dimensions _which themselves are infinite,_ and above ALL OF THAT is the Speed Force (and its equal, the Negative Speed Force) controlling velocity and motion over all existence. So, the Speed Force isn't just 4D or 5D, it is literally *_infinite dimensional._* EVEN IF Goku Black somehow figured out that Reverse-Flash draws his power from an entirely different dimension, and _EVEN IF_ Goku Black also somehow figured out that there had to be a way to cut Reverse-Flash off from it (both of which are already huge stretches, mind you, since Zamasu hardly is any kind of super genius and would know nothing like the Speed Force), there is still *_absolutely no way_* that Goku Black could ever even have the power needed to reach and destroy the Speed Force/Negative Speed Force. Shoot, even Zeno has nothing implying he could reach and destroy a realm laying above an infinite number of dimensions which themselves are already infinite. Even cutting Reverse-Flash off from the Negative Speed Force from the normal 3rd dimension was out of the question, since Goku Black explicitly lacks the Speed Force vibration powers that Barry Allen used to remove Reverse-Flash's powers (which makes sense given that the Speed Force and its granted abilities naturally counter the Negative Speed Force, while Goku Black's far more limited Saiyan powers... don't). Meanwhile, the Time Ring would easily be crushed by a mere fraction of Reverse-Flash's multiverse-tier strength. Not to mention that the Time Ring actually freaking _glows_ whenever it's used, so Reverse-Flash probably _wouldn't even need his ability to detect time anomalies_ to figure out that the Time Ring is important to Goku Black's abilities anyway. This as opposed to Goku Black's absolutely abysmal chances at figuring out what the infinite-dimensional and retcon-causing Speed Force/Negative Speed Force even is, let alone figuring it out while Reverse-Flash (who is uncountably-times faster and likely many times stronger than Goku Black) is fiercely trying to kill him at the same time.
It's also a matter of limits. GB's paradox state is a lot easier to break than Reverse Flash's. Given that this battle could last indefinitely, at some point, RF would eventually figure out the weakness and exploit it, or simply knock off, damage, or destroy the ring completely by accident. In contrast, Goku Black would likely take much, MUCH longer to figure out how to break RF's paradox state because there is no easy fix like destroying a ring. This matchup is unique in that the Death Battle rule against prep time is kind of circumvented because of how fast-paced this fight would be and how long it could go on.
I really appreciate how Thawne was just portrayed as a troll almost the entire run. Knocked down his tea, stood still just to miss Goku Black’s attack, used a man as a shield, and flipped Goku Black the finger before killing him. Truly amazing.
This episode was great. The "it was me, Barry" the "Why aren't you dead" and of course the callback to the Flash vs Quicksilver fight all made this an amazing episode. But that final killing blow put it over the top.
I love that it was me Barry bit too. Especially when we find out that the reason why Quicksilver landed on the sword of the statue was because reverse-flash put it in his way.
I think my favorite part of this battle is when they showed that it was actually Thawn who killed Quicksilver in the "Flash vs. Quicksilver" battle, further adding to the fact that Thawn really loves messing with Barry's life/timeline.
Yo imagine if thats what reverse flash did....he fucked everything up for Barry saw the newspaper and then goes to Barry's house to tell him what he did before he just dips
I love how crazy he is in this battle. He just sees a future version of himself murder someone and instead of being confused he just choose to laugh with his future self
That, "WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD!?!?!?" was easily the funniest and in most in character thing for them both to say and be genuinely confused about as two time travelers that don't know their enemy's powers. Well done except for the one issue where Zamasu never fused or fused with the universe.
not when he is wearing the ring my guy he is immune to time resets and time warps or anything involving timeline erasement. Fused Zamasu is still Zamasu AND your logic would mean Goku vs Superman is pointless because they use different versions of Superman to explain why he wins all the time. They refuse to use post-crisis superman again because his power scaling is not on par with MUI Goku hence why they used one million superman to fight Goku so if Superman can have different versions so can Zamasu in this case. @@wingedbluj1674
I mean thats what he is. I’d call him a Demi god because he is a regular guy in the wrong timeline, and therefore broke time in a way, thus a living paradox
It's hilarious how much of a major threat Reverse Flash is to the entire DC multiverse when Flash's other villains are people like the man who throws boomerangs and dollar store Mr Freeze
@@ICTON123 you've never read Batman/Flash: The Button. Where RF breaks into the Batcave, beats up Batman, finds Thomas Wayne's letter and tears it up which hit Batman in the feels, then he left.
Flash is funny because he has a bunch of really goofy villains and then this one deeply disturbed villain with insane levels of power. He's as powerful as most Superman villains and as twisted as most Batman villains. If he wasn't so fixated on Barry he would be one of the DC Universe's worst threats in general.
You got your average boomerang wielding Australian, a guy who can't get enough of his own reflection, a cool guy with an even cooler gun, a guy who's whole thing is that he and everyone else is slow, someone who's joker but not due to copyright, and a speedster who wants to end your entire bloodline right in front of your eyes while enjoying every second of it You know, all the necessities for a superheroes rogues gallery.
The greatest part of this by far is the part where we find out Thawne was the deliberate cause for the the death of Quicksilver; he never gives up an opportunity to screw with BARRY!
@@Peace-tl1ll it's not a reasonable comparison, it's shown that zeno puts basically 0 effort in erasing universes so its stupid to think that's the max amount of power zeno has
I like how the reverse flash in the past didn't know what was going on. He just saw a future version of himself kill someone yet his first response was to laugh about it with his future self.
Because RF past self and future self have the same conciousness, he laughs because his mind is split to an infinite degree where he can see everything his other versions can.
@@theequalizer694 True. I guess they could change it up by having him do it several times and then integrating his time travel powers to finish the job.
@@Angry_Peanut_52 I think the difference is that the Injustice series probably would never have "fatalities," otherwise Reverse Flash would definitely have a Kabal style finisher. Would be really cool seeing the DC cast having finishers in a MK style though, makes you think what they would with characters that aren't know to kill, like Batman and Supes
"Its was ME, Barry! I was the one who gave comic writers the idea to constantly make Superman stronger and stronger, ensuring that the entire internet would get pissed off at Death Battle when they made him beat Goku!"
Defeating Superman is a difficult thing to quantify, because no one has managed to battle Superman to his VERY LIMITS (we don't even know if he HAS them). The two beings that have gone toe to toe with Superman (Darkseid and Doomsday) could only go so far as to fight him to STALEMATE, neither of them actually triumphed in those battles. Joker broke Superman's psyche in Injustice, but never had a physical fight. Batman beat Superman, but only using gadgets and kryptonite and not in a blow for blow match. Superman is pretty much a god among mortals, with few weaknesses to be exploited
Goku Black and Reverse Flash shouting "WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD!?" at the same time made me laugh. It's so great seeing two overpowered opponents call out each others nonsensical abilities.
@@jacketernus1349 When I first watched that episode I was so ready for a moment like omniverse's time war where Hal and Ben jump around time fighting each other. We did not get that. 😔
Imagine killing your teacher, stealing the strongest mortals body, then begin your murder spree of mortals just to have your time powers stolen, dragged across the circumference of the entire earth and yeeted into the god damn sun.
This fight instantly made me a fan of Reverse flash. His pettyness literally transcends time itself. Guy was about to punch Goku black in the face then instead slapped the teacup out of his hand. Dudes hilarious.
Well, Reverse Flash said it himself. I won't be surprise that any time Flash was having a bad day, be it having the government against him, or the news report giving him a bad name, Reverse Flash should be respoknsible for that.
@@ttgb2990 As far as actual name it is the same. Goku and Goku Black... Eobard is at least an original name where the evil Goku is just Goku Black. Literally has the same name in his alias Thawne being Reverse Flash is his moniker and villain name which makes sense given the fact that he hates the Flash with a passion he isn't just an opposite version of him like say Bizarro to Superman. Honestly,Death Goku or even Dark Goku would have been better if you ask me or just an actual original name even if he is an evil Goku.
Love how Thawne just picks up a random guy and uses him as a human shield while cracking a joke about it. Really shows how twisted he is and sets him apart from how the Flash would fight in this situation despite the similar power sets
The funniest part was when they were constantly killing each other. Reverse Flash was just sitting there reading a newspaper minding his own business when some random guy showed up and incinerated him, he had no clue what was going on XD
@@WilliamDearthwd they aren't necessarily invincible, reverse could still kill the Goku Black he was facing even if he wore the ring. Besides Goku Black shouldn't even be able to travel to the past. Even if he didn't wear the ring Goku Black still exists in another point in time along with reverse flash.

Flash: Why do you want to kill me? Eobard Thawne: *laughs* I don't want to kill you! What in the world would I do without you, terrorize you in the past? You *complete* me.
You know. . . the twisted relationship comparison between Flash and Reverse Flash, Batman and the Joker . . . are really similar: Joker/Reverse Flash: "You've changed things forever." Flash/Batman: "Then why do you want to kill me?" Joker/Reverse Flash: (laughs) "I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to (ripping off mob dealers?/killing your loved ones?) No, no. . . No! No, you . . . You. . . complete. . . me."
@@scotttrail522 The more they talked about Thawne's obsession with The Flash, the more this interaction between the Joker and Batman we know makes it eeriely similar. Without Flash, Thawne knows his life has no meaning no purpose. Realizing this every attempt at altering the Flash's life in every time line. So then rather outright kill him, Thawne keeps him around. Flash is Thawne's Yin to his Yang.
Or Reverse-Flash: "It Was Me, Goku Black, I Was The One Who Ended Your Winning Streak, So That Your Series Won't Surpassed Our Series Of Getting Many Wins."
God I love how they both just stopped and screamed at each other "WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD?!" like they both acknowledge the paradox of this fight and their existences
Good lord the dialogue/voice acting was so damn good. “To stand upon all things and look down on creation itself! THAT is the work of a GOD!!” “Empty threats to a LIVING PARADOX!!!” Also that “WHY AREN’T YOU DEAD!?!” is one of my favourite Death Battle moments ever.
I think that is part of the DC universe, the crime syndicate was killed and then the multiverse recreated them. The story needs to go on forever so Thawn is revived.
Honestly, I can't get over the fact they made Thawne the reason for Quicksilver's death. Even though I haven't seen much of him outside from a few clips, I think it is definitely in character for him to do that.

@@gagetaylor192 false, dr manhattan brought him back to life, reverse flash didn’t do any of that(by that I mean came back to his own accord from dr manhattan), please read the comics😅
Thawnes whole bio was one if not the best produced introduction of a character in death battle. The amount of scans, the backstory, the reactions to how monstrous his acts were, the motion comic bits, effects, editing and narrative flow were all on point
Thawne's a big fan of Reverse puns and such whenever he can find a place to use them. Lines like "Iv created a legacy hundreds of years before im even born.. it's backwards.. it's in REVERSE!" during his first teamup with Hunter Zolomon. when he breaks into the Batcave Batman: "Of all people Flash I didn't expect You to be early" Thawne: "Flash? No. QUITE THE REVERSE ACTUALLY" and such.
@@thewalrus45 I love how Thawne's sheer eccentrcitiy and bizarre-ness lets him fit right in with overpowered anime characters like Goku Black XD Idk but their interactions here felt genuinely natural, as if Thawne was somehow perfectly transferred to the DBS multiverse while retaining his paradoxical existence and connection to the Negative Speed Force.
I think the deciding factor was that Goku Black's immunity to the consequences of time stemmed from a physical object, one that could be removed, whereas Thawne's temporal invulnerability was intertwined with his being.
Technically, everything that Thawne needed to do was just straight up kill Black and that would have been it. The time ring doesn't grant the user any form of immortality. It just gives the user protection against time alterations and time travel. This fight is more of a stomp in Reverse Flash's favor than what people think.
@@mechafenix9348 right... I didn't say he had immortality... but I see how you thought I did. By "Immunity to the Consequences of Time" I didn't mean age, but how if you kill a past version of him the version in the future still exists.
@@scaIawag *Right... I didn't say he had immortality... but I see how you thought I did* I did thought you meant that when you said "the deciding factor was the time ring". Sorry for the misunderstanding. *By "Immunity to the Consequences of Time" I didn't mean age, but how if you kill a past version of him the version in the future still exists.* That's why I said one of the abilities of the ring is protection against "time alterations".
@@mechafenix9348Also multiverse theory. Trunks giving Goku his medicine did not change anything in his future. In fact from the moment Trunks went to the past, he went to a past that is not tied to his. The past where in Goku dies, the z warriors die by the androids and Gohan is his mentor. I believe this is true and that only makes this matchup even a BIGGER stomp imo.
It was me Barry, I went back in time and changed the roster just so you could fight that pathetic weakling Quicksilver, whereas I get to fight a beast like Goku Black. I knew full well you’d kill him easily. Now everyone thinks you’re a bully for picking on the weak Barry.
*Shouldn't there be an infinite number of past versions of Goku Black? Why should destroying the Time Ring even matter?* There's an easy answer to this question. The Time Ring is the user's bypass to the space-time continuum. So if you destroy that bypass than all past versions of Goku Black will eventually reach that point in the timeline where the Ring was destroyed. Anything past that point in time is fair game for Reverse Flash to kill Goku Black. Now some say there has to be an infinite number of alternate Goku Black timelines. And even if that is true, destroying the Time Ring will still affect them. The reason is simple. It's because they ALL have a common factor, namely the Time Ring. Destroy that and you destroy all those timelines attached to it. Ever watched Ben 10 Omniverse? In a two-parter episode, a villain named Vilgax used a Chronosapien Time Bomb to wipe out a key event in Ben Prime's timeline, namely Ben Prime getting the Omnitrix. As a result, all alternate versions of Ben from different timelines, who had an Omnitrix or was involved with the Omnitrix, were unilaterally wiped out as well. The only version of Ben that wasn't wiped out was a version that never got an Omnitrix. As a result, No-Watch Ben had to travel back in time in order to make certain that Ben Prime got the Omnitrix. It's the same principle as the Time Ring. Destroy the Ring and all other versions with the Ring go bye-bye. The only version would be the one who never got a Ring, and that would probably be a version of Zamasu who never took over Goku's body.
@@kamdeoray3573 Just get rid of the Ring. That's all you need to do. Even if Eobard didn't sense time anomalies, he would have taken the ring, just to spite Goku Black.
Refreshing. An episode where the “first to power up” didn’t give away the winner to me. It was just a crazy speed battle that was chaos and I couldn’t keep up!!! Awesome.
Because its one of the few battles where only one character had a power up. My guess is that they would have made him hold his transformation if he was going to win with it. Thankfully they occasionally break these rules. Like with The Bison x Shao Kahn battle. Where it seemed like it was going to sway the battle...until...hammer. It was actually an insane unexpected turn, considering how scripted some of these feel.
I love how it’s just some super serious bad ass and an idiot who would rather make I pun then win also the why aren’t you dead made me die as well as the speed silver vs flash call back
Lets not forget the fact that after being dragged around the world, Goku black’s hair is still pink, which means he still alive through that and when being thrown to the sun. That’s more brutal than homelander
Not when you consider my man was humiliated, taught how to fight, and shown that he ain’t the big bad he thought he was, all at once and over the course of only a few minutes(least in my opinion)
Yup. Both are near god-like... but entities who control creation and destruction are par for the course for cosmic and ascendant beings seen in DC like Green Lantern, Darkseid, Shazam and of course, Reverse-Flash. What happens when a being who took shortcuts to bring order into existence goes against an entity who _earned_ their status as a _living glitch_ in existence? Well... *_this._*
@@mrreyes5004 in hindsight, and off topic shouldn't sould attacks be able to do the trick? i mean, thawne is a living paradox butin theory he should still has a soul
@@ianr.navahuber2195 _MAYBE,_ but 1) Thawne's durability is high enough that he could probably still survive them. He withstood a punch from Barry when Barry had the _ENTIRE SPEED FORCE_ absorbed into him, and the Speed Force is an infinitely higher-dimensional energy realm that rests above an infinite number of dimensions that themselves lay over the multiverse's infinite universes... so yeah, a soul attack from a foe weaker than that probably won't put him down. 2) Thawne can still just vibrate through his attacks; Thawne can vibrate in such a way that he literally ascends to higher dimensions and causing attacks from the regular 3D realm to phase through him (just like Wally did when he ascended his vibrational patterns to affect aliens from much higher dimensions immune to 3D physics). Goku Black may be a deity, but he's still limited to the normal 3D realm and affect higher dimensions like Thawne can head to. 3) Even _IF_ Goku Black had soul attacks that could do it, he would still have to... y'know... _hit_ Thawne first... yeah, no, good luck to Black considering Reverse-Flash is at least trillions upon trillions upon trillions of times faster (scaling to Wally who has _a BUNCH_ of feats of moving literally _infinitely_ fast). Goku Black would be firing off soul attacks in a bullet hell hail, and Reverse-Flash would simply dance around them like Quicksilver in that X-Men scene or like Sonic in his recent movie in that missile scene.
It's just as Wiz said in the Thanos vs. Darkseid episode; "Thanos needed the infinity gauntlet to be a god while Darkseid already was one." If you think about it, Goku Black needed that ring to be a paradox while Reverse Flash already was one.
@@jackthorndyke3390 Actually, the "Empty Threat" is also directly taken from comics word for word. Freeze the vid at 12:47 and read the center speech bubble.
To anyone complaining that Thawne finding out the ring was stupid, TV Tropes is here to explain Observe how Reverse-Flash kills Goku Black. It really shows Eobard's Awesomeness by Analysis. First, Thawne tries an enhanced punch on Goku Black, but he survives somehow, possibly due to the Negative Speed Force. Next, Thawne impales him with his speed, and Black still lives, hinting at a potent Healing Factor. Thawne resorts to atomization for a third attempt to prevent healing, but Black miraculously survives again, revealing his paradoxical nature. Thawne deduces the source of this paradox from a scene where Black kills his past self, realizing it's the time ring. He decides to remove it, quickly swallows the ring during a struggle, and destroys it. With the paradox powers gone, Thawne finally defeats Black. Credits to AlicornGaia
Also, Thawne would figure out that the ring is benefiting Black in some way. He lives in a verse where there are people who get their powers from rings.
“Excuse me, but I require your services” Hey, at least he said it nicely before doing it, instead of just like “I’mma use you as a meat shield, caphice?”
I just notice @15:36 when thawne said in the beginning "it was me barry" , he's literally the one who set up quicksilvers death @18:15 way back on flash vs quicksilver deathbattle
17:45 - Well, this will be a one-of-a-kind moment in Death Battle history. Both fighters actually die (in a 4th-dimensional manner) and the fight still goes on.
I knew the outcome as soon as they said that Reverse Flash's paradoxical abilities are inherent to his being while Goku Black's paradoxical power comes from a physical thing he has to wear. Both of the combatants are anomalies but one has to rely on an object to achieve that power.
The thing is black isn’t an anomaly, the ring doesn't work like that, just grant protection from time-altering event to his past self, he is still vulnerable in present hence why there is no special plan for him other than simply kill him compared to his other counterpart where they planned to seal him since they couldn’t get rid of him due to his immortality.
Its obvious That Barry is horny for searching Rule34 of Lola bunny as that and Thawned immediately stop barry for being horny and stop him being furry aswell
I gotta applaud the voice actor of Reverse Flash in this. He is selling the role of someone of humble and simple origin who is brutally putting a God in his place and enjoying every moment of it.
Okay, here’s an idea. For any past/future death battles, we can just blame RF if the result is going to cause some controversy, just because it fits his pettiness.

Everyone knows the real reason RF started the fight wasn't because of the destruction Goku Black caused, it was because Goku Black interrupted his "It was me Barry!" monologue. Destroy the planet, or even the universe. Whatever, Thawne will just go to another timeline. The monologue though, that's irreplaceable, and it's interruption is just unforgiveable.
It’s just downright rude to interrupt someone. Goku Black should know better.
"It was me, Barry. I tampered with Ben's Omnitrix so it wouldn't activate its safety protocol which would eventually lead to Green Lantern winning and inviting you to his victory party in the watch tower which gave me enough time to kill Iris."
After seeing the crazy nonsense that DC characters do, THAT is where you draw the line...
@@zackmakedonsky425 yeah Hal nearly caused a rupture in the speed force. He also outspeed the big bang too.
Seems like something Eobard would do
The fact that people are revisiting the "It was me Barry" meme for previous Death Battles is - in a strange way - pretty amusing.
Although having gone back and forth on Ben Vs GL for the longest time, I'll say Hal getting past the Omnitrix's defenses is honestly feasible; All Lantern needs to do is outspeed the Ominitrix's AI, and based on several of his feats, he/his constructs are more than capable of doing that. More than anything else, that match up made me understand the "no limits fallacy", especially given the Omnitrix and Alien X. It's always more reliable to go off of the original source material and what a character HAS done, as opposed to fan conjecture and what people have CLAIMED they can do. And when you have characters like Ben and Hal, who are seemingly overpowered until they aren't (Ex. Ben's watch glitching out or Batman pickpocketing his ring), you sort of have to give them the benefit of a doubt and scale there most impressive feats fairly. Simply put, the path of "this character can do anything because I like them so much" is a precarious rabbit hole I'd advise people to steer clear of.
I love the idea of Zoom just being some random petty bastard who goes out of his way to tamper with Death Battles to create the most controversial victories just to get a rise out of Barry and the internet
Some people question how Reverse Flash would figure out the ring is the source of Goku Black's paradox powers. Reverse Flash comes from a franchise where there are entire factions of people who get incredible powers from rings, some of which even being friends with Barry. I'd be surprised if it wasn't one of the first things he'd consider taking away.
Reverse-Flash can detect time anomalies, so it wouldn't take much for him to detect the energy from the Time Ring. And even if he didn't, he *would* take the ring off and destroy it, just to be petty. There's no way Goku Black could figure out the Negative Speed Force is what gives Reverse-Flash his time paradox powers, nor would he know to neutralize it. Unlike anime, Eobard isn't stupid enough to explain it to Goku Black.
@@Animeaddiction Tbf even if Goku Black DID discern the Speed Force, he has no way to separate Thawne from it. Remember, the DC multiverse is comprised of _infinite_ universes, and above and below those universes lay an _infinite_ number of layers of dimensions _which themselves are infinite,_ and above ALL OF THAT is the Speed Force (and its equal, the Negative Speed Force) controlling velocity and motion over all existence.
So, the Speed Force isn't just 4D or 5D, it is literally *_infinite dimensional._* EVEN IF Goku Black somehow figured out that Reverse-Flash draws his power from an entirely different dimension, and _EVEN IF_ Goku Black also somehow figured out that there had to be a way to cut Reverse-Flash off from it (both of which are already huge stretches, mind you, since Zamasu hardly is any kind of super genius and would know nothing like the Speed Force), there is still *_absolutely no way_* that Goku Black could ever even have the power needed to reach and destroy the Speed Force/Negative Speed Force. Shoot, even Zeno has nothing implying he could reach and destroy a realm laying above an infinite number of dimensions which themselves are already infinite. Even cutting Reverse-Flash off from the Negative Speed Force from the normal 3rd dimension was out of the question, since Goku Black explicitly lacks the Speed Force vibration powers that Barry Allen used to remove Reverse-Flash's powers (which makes sense given that the Speed Force and its granted abilities naturally counter the Negative Speed Force, while Goku Black's far more limited Saiyan powers... don't).
Meanwhile, the Time Ring would easily be crushed by a mere fraction of Reverse-Flash's multiverse-tier strength. Not to mention that the Time Ring actually freaking _glows_ whenever it's used, so Reverse-Flash probably _wouldn't even need his ability to detect time anomalies_ to figure out that the Time Ring is important to Goku Black's abilities anyway. This as opposed to Goku Black's absolutely abysmal chances at figuring out what the infinite-dimensional and retcon-causing Speed Force/Negative Speed Force even is, let alone figuring it out while Reverse-Flash (who is uncountably-times faster and likely many times stronger than Goku Black) is fiercely trying to kill him at the same time.
@@mrreyes5004 something gives me the feeling this was a stomp in every single way
It's also a matter of limits. GB's paradox state is a lot easier to break than Reverse Flash's. Given that this battle could last indefinitely, at some point, RF would eventually figure out the weakness and exploit it, or simply knock off, damage, or destroy the ring completely by accident. In contrast, Goku Black would likely take much, MUCH longer to figure out how to break RF's paradox state because there is no easy fix like destroying a ring.
This matchup is unique in that the Death Battle rule against prep time is kind of circumvented because of how fast-paced this fight would be and how long it could go on.
The ring doesn't do anything except allow Goku black to travel back time or future.
"Empty threats to a living paradox" just sounds so fricking cool

I think my favorite part of this battle is when they showed that it was actually Thawn who killed Quicksilver in the "Flash vs. Quicksilver" battle, further adding to the fact that Thawn really loves messing with Barry's life/timeline.
Mine is when he said "it was me barry" as if Barry can hear him

It's always epic when two villains fight. They don't hold back or care at all about collateral damage or civillian casualties.

@@mastermohmed Man was just enjoying his favorite hobby; ruining lives and getting revenge on someone who annoys him.
That, "WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD!?!?!?" was easily the funniest and in most in character thing for them both to say and be genuinely confused about as two time travelers that don't know their enemy's powers. Well done except for the one issue where Zamasu never fused or fused with the universe.
That was merged Zamasu, and it wouldn't matter either way because Reverse Flash can just pull a Zeno and erase the timeline itself.
not when he is wearing the ring my guy he is immune to time resets and time warps or anything involving timeline erasement. Fused Zamasu is still Zamasu AND your logic would mean Goku vs Superman is pointless because they use different versions of Superman to explain why he wins all the time. They refuse to use post-crisis superman again because his power scaling is not on par with MUI Goku hence why they used one million superman to fight Goku so if Superman can have different versions so can Zamasu in this case. @@wingedbluj1674

"Its was ME, Barry! I was the one who gave comic writers the idea to constantly make Superman stronger and stronger, ensuring that the entire internet would get pissed off at Death Battle when they made him beat Goku!"
Defeating Superman is a difficult thing to quantify, because no one has managed to battle Superman to his VERY LIMITS (we don't even know if he HAS them). The two beings that have gone toe to toe with Superman (Darkseid and Doomsday) could only go so far as to fight him to STALEMATE, neither of them actually triumphed in those battles. Joker broke Superman's psyche in Injustice, but never had a physical fight. Batman beat Superman, but only using gadgets and kryptonite and not in a blow for blow match.

@@gagetaylor192 false, dr manhattan brought him back to life, reverse flash didn’t do any of that(by that I mean came back to his own accord from dr manhattan), please read the comics😅

Zamasu and reverse flash: “WHY ARENT YOU DEAD?!” That was the best bit of the fight
The all moment where they kill each other at different point in time was just hilarious.
My fav part
You know what that is very funny. Best line ever.
Same
Yeah
Thawnes whole bio was one if not the best produced introduction of a character in death battle. The amount of scans, the backstory, the reactions to how monstrous his acts were, the motion comic bits, effects, editing and narrative flow were all on point
Getting shot at with energy blasts is "no reason"? Tf lol
right
Yeah, plus it really made me despise a character that I already knew was a psychotic monster
I come back to this fight for just this at times
Dont you mean... on FLASH point?
*“I’ll end this fight before it even began. DEATH IN REVERSE!”*
Hands down my favorite like in this episode
"WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD?!" -the real best line
*"Time huh? Thanks for the-wait a damn minute."*
Thawne's a big fan of Reverse puns and such whenever he can find a place to use them. Lines like "Iv created a legacy hundreds of years before im even born.. it's backwards.. it's in REVERSE!" during his first teamup with Hunter Zolomon. when he breaks into the Batcave Batman: "Of all people Flash I didn't expect You to be early" Thawne: "Flash? No. QUITE THE REVERSE ACTUALLY" and such.
@@thewalrus45 I love how Thawne's sheer eccentrcitiy and bizarre-ness lets him fit right in with overpowered anime characters like Goku Black XD Idk but their interactions here felt genuinely natural, as if Thawne was somehow perfectly transferred to the DBS multiverse while retaining his paradoxical existence and connection to the Negative Speed Force.
*“Empty threats to a living paradox.”*
That was a sick line.
I think the deciding factor was that Goku Black's immunity to the consequences of time stemmed from a physical object, one that could be removed, whereas Thawne's temporal invulnerability was intertwined with his being.
Technically, everything that Thawne needed to do was just straight up kill Black and that would have been it. The time ring doesn't grant the user any form of immortality. It just gives the user protection against time alterations and time travel.
This fight is more of a stomp in Reverse Flash's favor than what people think.
@@mechafenix9348 right... I didn't say he had immortality... but I see how you thought I did. By "Immunity to the Consequences of Time" I didn't mean age, but how if you kill a past version of him the version in the future still exists.
@@scaIawag *Right... I didn't say he had immortality... but I see how you thought I did*
I did thought you meant that when you said "the deciding factor was the time ring". Sorry for the misunderstanding.
*By "Immunity to the Consequences of Time" I didn't mean age, but how if you kill a past version of him the version in the future still exists.*
That's why I said one of the abilities of the ring is protection against "time alterations".
@@mechafenix9348Also multiverse theory. Trunks giving Goku his medicine did not change anything in his future.
In fact from the moment Trunks went to the past, he went to a past that is not tied to his. The past where in Goku dies, the z warriors die by the androids and Gohan is his mentor.
I believe this is true and that only makes this matchup even a BIGGER stomp imo.
only way goku black had a chance is if he became infinite zamasu who would be immortal and have a time ring
It was me Barry, I went back in time and changed the roster just so you could fight that pathetic weakling Quicksilver, whereas I get to fight a beast like Goku Black. I knew full well you’d kill him easily. Now everyone thinks you’re a bully for picking on the weak Barry.
But Barry didn't kill quicksilver lol
**Gets shot by batman**
@@V1BEZ82 and then comes back right after
He also got quicksilver killed which would probably get Barry arrested lol
Honestly, the Reverse-Flash is one of DCs most terrifying villains, because he's got that perfect combination of sadism, and pettyness
The unmatched terror of a villain that can show up at anytime in your life and spill water on your pants to make it look like you pissed yourself.
That’s why the flash could easily stop him 🤣
and dont forget absurd over poweredness
And obsession with the flash
@@Joracle It was me Barry
*Shouldn't there be an infinite number of past versions of Goku Black? Why should destroying the Time Ring even matter?*
There's an easy answer to this question. The Time Ring is the user's bypass to the space-time continuum. So if you destroy that bypass than all past versions of Goku Black will eventually reach that point in the timeline where the Ring was destroyed. Anything past that point in time is fair game for Reverse Flash to kill Goku Black. Now some say there has to be an infinite number of alternate Goku Black timelines. And even if that is true, destroying the Time Ring will still affect them. The reason is simple. It's because they ALL have a common factor, namely the Time Ring. Destroy that and you destroy all those timelines attached to it.
Ever watched Ben 10 Omniverse? In a two-parter episode, a villain named Vilgax used a Chronosapien Time Bomb to wipe out a key event in Ben Prime's timeline, namely Ben Prime getting the Omnitrix. As a result, all alternate versions of Ben from different timelines, who had an Omnitrix or was involved with the Omnitrix, were unilaterally wiped out as well. The only version of Ben that wasn't wiped out was a version that never got an Omnitrix. As a result, No-Watch Ben had to travel back in time in order to make certain that Ben Prime got the Omnitrix. It's the same principle as the Time Ring. Destroy the Ring and all other versions with the Ring go bye-bye. The only version would be the one who never got a Ring, and that would probably be a version of Zamasu who never took over Goku's body.
Look I'm not saying this is wrong but...
It doesn't work that way in the db universe?
@@kamdeoray3573 Just get rid of the Ring. That's all you need to do. Even if Eobard didn't sense time anomalies, he would have taken the ring, just to spite Goku Black.
Refreshing. An episode where the “first to power up” didn’t give away the winner to me. It was just a crazy speed battle that was chaos and I couldn’t keep up!!! Awesome.
Because its one of the few battles where only one character had a power up. My guess is that they would have made him hold his transformation if he was going to win with it. Thankfully they occasionally break these rules. Like with The Bison x Shao Kahn battle. Where it seemed like it was going to sway the battle...until...hammer. It was actually an insane unexpected turn, considering how scripted some of these feel.
That’s happened in a ton of episodes. Even including ones this season
This is a joke but, it doesn’t help when the only one who can transform is the one to lose.
Any up for my picks for further death battles?
I love how it’s just some super serious bad ass and an idiot who would rather make I pun then win also the why aren’t you dead made me die as well as the speed silver vs flash call back
Lets not forget the fact that after being dragged around the world, Goku black’s hair is still pink, which means he still alive through that and when being thrown to the sun. That’s more brutal than homelander
oh yeah cause hair falls off when you die
@@SirToaster9330 if a sayan dies the hair returns to default.

@@shawnaustin1037 it was the best way to parody previous fights were it was decided that way
Hearing “Empty threats to a living paradox” actually gave me chills
Yup. Both are near god-like... but entities who control creation and destruction are par for the course for cosmic and ascendant beings seen in DC like Green Lantern, Darkseid, Shazam and of course, Reverse-Flash.
What happens when a being who took shortcuts to bring order into existence goes against an entity who _earned_ their status as a _living glitch_ in existence? Well... *_this._*
@@mrreyes5004 Living Glitch...that actually perfectly summarizes Reverse Flash
@@mrreyes5004 in hindsight, and off topic shouldn't sould attacks be able to do the trick? i mean, thawne is a living paradox butin theory he should still has a soul
@@m.a.dmatt6689 Is a better way to describe than than his "the pest that can't die"
@@ianr.navahuber2195 _MAYBE,_ but 1) Thawne's durability is high enough that he could probably still survive them. He withstood a punch from Barry when Barry had the _ENTIRE SPEED FORCE_ absorbed into him, and the Speed Force is an infinitely higher-dimensional energy realm that rests above an infinite number of dimensions that themselves lay over the multiverse's infinite universes... so yeah, a soul attack from a foe weaker than that probably won't put him down.
2) Thawne can still just vibrate through his attacks; Thawne can vibrate in such a way that he literally ascends to higher dimensions and causing attacks from the regular 3D realm to phase through him (just like Wally did when he ascended his vibrational patterns to affect aliens from much higher dimensions immune to 3D physics). Goku Black may be a deity, but he's still limited to the normal 3D realm and affect higher dimensions like Thawne can head to.
3) Even _IF_ Goku Black had soul attacks that could do it, he would still have to... y'know... _hit_ Thawne first... yeah, no, good luck to Black considering Reverse-Flash is at least trillions upon trillions upon trillions of times faster (scaling to Wally who has _a BUNCH_ of feats of moving literally _infinitely_ fast). Goku Black would be firing off soul attacks in a bullet hell hail, and Reverse-Flash would simply dance around them like Quicksilver in that X-Men scene or like Sonic in his recent movie in that missile scene.

Barry saving a child from falling off a building, and one sec later all of this happens

Thawne: “Hey, if anyone one is gonna kill those innocent people, it’s gonna be me!”
It's just as Wiz said in the Thanos vs. Darkseid episode; "Thanos needed the infinity gauntlet to be a god while Darkseid already was one." If you think about it, Goku Black needed that ring to be a paradox while Reverse Flash already was one.
While Goku Black still was a paradox because of it.
Well said
I mean, didn't reverse flash need Barry to show up to be a paradox? Its a weird thought.

@@lordcooler3051 isn't that a quote from when iron man gave daredevil his vision back?
To anyone complaining that Thawne finding out the ring was stupid, TV Tropes is here to explain
Observe how Reverse-Flash kills Goku Black. It really shows Eobard's Awesomeness by Analysis. First, Thawne tries an enhanced punch on Goku Black, but he survives somehow, possibly due to the Negative Speed Force. Next, Thawne impales him with his speed, and Black still lives, hinting at a potent Healing Factor. Thawne resorts to atomization for a third attempt to prevent healing, but Black miraculously survives again, revealing his paradoxical nature. Thawne deduces the source of this paradox from a scene where Black kills his past self, realizing it's the time ring. He decides to remove it, quickly swallows the ring during a struggle, and destroys it. With the paradox powers gone, Thawne finally defeats Black.

Also, Thawne would figure out that the ring is benefiting Black in some way. He lives in a verse where there are people who get their powers from rings.
“Excuse me, but I require your services” Hey, at least he said it nicely before doing it, instead of just like “I’mma use you as a meat shield, caphice?”

I knew the outcome as soon as they said that Reverse Flash's paradoxical abilities are inherent to his being while Goku Black's paradoxical power comes from a physical thing he has to wear. Both of the combatants are anomalies but one has to rely on an object to achieve that power.
The thing is black isn’t an anomaly, the ring doesn't work like that, just grant protection from time-altering event to his past self, he is still vulnerable in present hence why there is no special plan for him other than simply kill him compared to his other counterpart where they planned to seal him since they couldn’t get rid of him due to his immortality.
