I grew up on two things, Xbox and berserk. Ever since the animated show came out in 1997. I have had a brand of sacrifice tattoo for years. And as I have watched Death Battle for many years, Death Battle is very inconsistent with the scaling of anything. According to them, Cloud can move faster than light and Samus can blow up planets. If they went by the original rules of no respawning, no external forces, and no breaking canon, Guts has a chance. Just not a good one. But then it wouldn’t be a Guts fight if that wasn’t the case right?
*kratos lays guts' body on his back with both hands holding the dragon slayer downwards* "Rest, warrior, you have earned it..." *the silhouette of demons and the god hand emerge and loom over kratos* "I will ensure that you're work is not left unfinished" *kratos gives guts one last glance before he charges off screen and the sound of demons being slaughtered is heard*
Connections: -Both are wrathful characters -Both of their wrath began with the loss of people they cared for (Casca and the mercenaries/Kratos’s wife and daughter) -Both seek revenge on the one person who wronged them (Griffith/Ares) -Both unleash their rage onto a group of higher, powerful beings, seeking to kill them (God Hand/Gods of Olympus)
-Both are immensely wrathful to the point it is their only emotion. No? After the Conviction arc Guts throws most of that away and he is only a monster when the Berserker armor is activated. Also didn't the same thing happen with Kratos in the recent games?

WHAT DID MY BOI GUTS DO TO DERSERVE THIS!!!!!! All jokes aside, ARTWORK AMAZING CANNOT GET OVER HOW 11/10 IT IS. Edit: I've lost count of times I've listen to this banger, but a fun little reference I've finally noticed was the Nine realms carved into the Ghost of Sparta ICON. I love these small details.
I like the start of this track. It's basically sad & simple (reflecting their lives pretty well), & then it leads into the "harder" side of music (a.k.a. the rest if their lives). Overall, this is a nice track that definitely shows two ghosts struggling with their misery
How many is that for Guts now, 3 tracks not counting both versions of Awakened Sacrifice ? He’s pretty high up in the ranks now. And what a wonderful track to make the top rankings that is. Also *DAMN* that track art and title font are some of the best *EVER.* Honestly the first one since I lost my PC that I fully regret not having it to review because I’ll have to cut that review short despite having so much that I could say on it. Seriously, it’s absolutely amazing. It has calmer moments to reflect the tragic background of the characters along with Old Man Kratos’ new personality but even in those calm moments it holds so much power with heavy percussions to showcase the sheer wrath and anguish those two characters hold, for better or for worst. But then there’s the heavier moments that hit like a freaking *truck* with how strong they are. Sure they still hold a clear sadness and tragedy in them, yes, but it’s also backed up by a titanic amount of power which describes those characters perfectly not to mention it fits their series OSTs well too as we get a main melody similar to what you’d hear in a Berserk track but played with instruments fitting of a God of War game to make a perfect mix. This whole track feels like a sort of antithesis to Awakened Sacrifice in a way. While the aforementioned was about the two characters understanding the pain of the other even if they must kill one another, this one feels like it’d start with the two respecting one another with a perfectly calm start, perhaps even starting the fight against their wishes, but that it’d end in an absolute bloodbath where both characters would unleash absolutely everything they have to rip the other apart. To me this is well represented in the ending via the chanting which can be interpreted in multiple ways. Either you can interpret it as chantings to represent the godly powers at play in the end of the fight or, more interestingly, as a sort of « breaking point » where the characters are fully letting go, unleashing all their rage which is represented in those « voices » which were previously caged and are finally being let out into the fight as neither character is holding back to their morality anymore, something that especially fits Kratos in this case. This whole ending is just the cherry on top of an absolutely wonderful song. Hell, even the post-climax is great as we get another peaceful segment befitting of the characters too as, no matter who won, they’d likely make peace with the person they killed, respecting the fallen warrior (even more so given that Kratos is the likely winner of the fight and that’s definitely something he’d do.) Overall this track is not something I expected to happen in a thousand years but I’m really glad it became a thing because this song is absolutely amazing. It’s not just a great listen but it’s filled to the brim with details that fit both characters perfectly to the point where I once again had to cut it short else my phone spontaneously combust from the length of this comment. Id’ say that I wonder if this track is getting vocals but honestly I don’t see how you’d be able to improve on it given how perfect the use of the chants is in this. Absolutely grandiose work with this.
Wow, that is a cool track art! Like that the track focuses more on the characters' tragic pasts and being the reason why they fight as well. Also, holy s**t Guts is screwed.
I mean, you'd be surprised. There's been plenty of moments in Berserk where Guts was getting his ass absolutely handed to him, but then he spots and executes spur-of-the-moment counterattacks at precise moments to turn the tide of the fight. Biggest example was when Mozgus' angels had him bound and were smashing him with a giant wheel, but then at one point he went "fuck it, I'll use this to my advantage" by firing off a cannon shot at the same time he gets hit (killing the angel who just smashed him) and uses the velocity to launch himself at another one to chop it in half. Or later on after that, he was getting absolutely pounded by Mozgus, but then decides to pretend like he's out of energy by weakly punching him before falling over, only for it to reveal that he deliberately placed high powered bombs into a weak spot in the guy's chest. Basically, Kratos better be sure that he finishes the fight fast and quick, or Guts might pull a fast and clever move at some point that could cripple him in an instant. Basically being far more of a clever fighter than a purely brute force one, unlike Kratos.
@@aceg.rookie Yea, the way they worded it definitely wasn't a great explanation, but it's still possible to point at situations within the manga and go "this is where the overpowered guy got too cocky and fucked up" in the fights. So I think their main point was that Guts just has a tendency to exploit overconfidence/weaknesses rather than just being strong.
First Therewolf uploads a Vs track of two of the most hopeful/inspirational[at least to me] heroes, then Brandon follows up with a Edgelord supreme match up, today is a good day
Let's see, if we base ourselves on the Lore of both Visual Works, then Kratos easily Soles Guts along with his entire Verse, since Kratos, in addition to having much more Material to Analyze, has more Feats than Guts himself. Not to mention that Kratos is not only a character in Games, but also in Comic's
not a remotely fair fight. But modern kratos wouldnt kill guts if he had ANY choice. Id love to see the look on kratos' face when he punches this mortal man with the force to explode most men, only for guts to get back up, spit out blood and smile. I think even Kratos would have to acknowledge that guts is pretty badass. These two would get along in their modern incarnations I think.
It has been a while that a track was able to ring out so much emotion... both have faced hell and heaven... both maimed by it... both calm damaged souls... you need more people to appreciate your craft brandon... 👍
In the case of a Death Battle gotta give this one to Kratos. While both have arms and armor that can do serious damage, one of them has more fighting experience and speed......and that's Kratos.
This track is amazing, definently my second favorite so far in this volume (passing Just A Petal but behind I Am This Machine). And of course, some more commission ideas. Eevolve (Eeveelution Battle Royale) [Pokemon] Prehistoric Showdown (The Isle vs Path of Titans) Deal the Cards (UNO vs Solitare) Need for Speed (Sweet Tooth vs Speed Racer) [Twisted Metal vs Speed Racer] Jungle-Gym Beatdown (Donkey Kong vs Knuckles) [Mario vs Sonic] ARMed Circuit (Min Min vs Little Mac) [ARMS vs Punch-Out]
Twisted racing Dk vs knuckles: rougher than a banana slama Min min vs little Mac:a small order of a knuckle sandwich/one knuckle sandwich coming right up
An absolutely fitting matchup, and stellar artwork. I’m glad you went with a more melancholic feel for this track, helps convey just what kind of fight this would be (besides bloody and brutal).
Kratos stomps. He's easily stronger, has a more varied arsenal depending on which version is being used (Greek or Norse), he can likely steal or *destroy* Dragonslayer, plus some of his enchantments from the Norse saga give him an ability akin to Bayonetta's Witch Time. He could easily get around the Berserker Armor's "protections" by simply bisecting or decapitating Guts, either of which he could easily do.
...I mean I love Guts and Kratos is cool and this track is that but uh...Even as a MAJOR Berserk Fan, Kratos like...murders Guts. If not immediately, then definitely overtime, sadly e_e... Also, as a side note does anyone know how to...reach Brandon for commissions? I'm interested and had one or two ideas myself that I got money for!
This would be a good match up. Both have equal amounts of strenghts and similarities to where it could come real close. Also this track is amazing as always Brandon! Keep up the amazing work.
There are two ways this can be interpreted depending on which Kratos is being used. Young Kratos: Kratos (with the Blade of Olympus) and Guts (in Berserker Armor) are angry and are slashing each other over and over, screaming in anger while doing so with them shrugging over any blow that the other is doing until Guts falls to the ground, dead. Old Kratos: Kratos activates Spartan Rage as he faces Guts in his Berserker Armor, with them attacking each other and shrugging off the other's blows until Guts falls to the ground, dead.

Frankly, I see this fight going on as something like what a battle with Alucard from Hellsing against a mortal would be. Yes, Kratos would fight for self defense and to ensure that his own mission can be completed...but to go up against a human who rejects the Gods and battles for the sake of humanity...Guts would qualify as a worthy opponent.

Completely random suggestion that I'm literally just commenting before I forget: dorn il khan ( baldurs gate) Vs sten ( dragon age origins). 2 humanoid, tall, dark, brutally honest optional party members, that have a strange sense of honour and duty, wield large 2 handed weapons that are strongly bonded with them, and are surprisingly strong, but at the same time squishy for what you'd expect of them ( at least in my opinion) and being initially very reserved about themselves, baring very limited information about their goals, and having dark pasts of sorts.

Overall, this is a nice track that definitely shows two ghosts struggling with their misery
I just see guts getting the worst beating ever rip
Thanks pretty much only notes I gave Brandon were sad then hard
How many is that for Guts now, 3 tracks not counting both versions of Awakened Sacrifice ? He’s pretty high up in the ranks now. And what a wonderful track to make the top rankings that is. Also *DAMN* that track art and title font are some of the best *EVER.*
Honestly the first one since I lost my PC that I fully regret not having it to review because I’ll have to cut that review short despite having so much that I could say on it. Seriously, it’s absolutely amazing.
It has calmer moments to reflect the tragic background of the characters along with Old Man Kratos’ new personality but even in those calm moments it holds so much power with heavy percussions to showcase the sheer wrath and anguish those two characters hold, for better or for worst.
But then there’s the heavier moments that hit like a freaking *truck* with how strong they are. Sure they still hold a clear sadness and tragedy in them, yes, but it’s also backed up by a titanic amount of power which describes those characters perfectly not to mention it fits their series OSTs well too as we get a main melody similar to what you’d hear in a Berserk track but played with instruments fitting of a God of War game to make a perfect mix.
This whole track feels like a sort of antithesis to Awakened Sacrifice in a way. While the aforementioned was about the two characters understanding the pain of the other even if they must kill one another, this one feels like it’d start with the two respecting one another with a perfectly calm start, perhaps even starting the fight against their wishes, but that it’d end in an absolute bloodbath where both characters would unleash absolutely everything they have to rip the other apart.
To me this is well represented in the ending via the chanting which can be interpreted in multiple ways. Either you can interpret it as chantings to represent the godly powers at play in the end of the fight or, more interestingly, as a sort of « breaking point » where the characters are fully letting go, unleashing all their rage which is represented in those « voices » which were previously caged and are finally being let out into the fight as neither character is holding back to their morality anymore, something that especially fits Kratos in this case. This whole ending is just the cherry on top of an absolutely wonderful song. Hell, even the post-climax is great as we get another peaceful segment befitting of the characters too as, no matter who won, they’d likely make peace with the person they killed, respecting the fallen warrior (even more so given that Kratos is the likely winner of the fight and that’s definitely something he’d do.)
Overall this track is not something I expected to happen in a thousand years but I’m really glad it became a thing because this song is absolutely amazing. It’s not just a great listen but it’s filled to the brim with details that fit both characters perfectly to the point where I once again had to cut it short else my phone spontaneously combust from the length of this comment. Id’ say that I wonder if this track is getting vocals but honestly I don’t see how you’d be able to improve on it given how perfect the use of the chants is in this. Absolutely grandiose work with this.
Wow, that is a cool track art! Like that the track focuses more on the characters' tragic pasts and being the reason why they fight as well.
Also, holy s**t Guts is screwed.

We need to see these 2 in the same fighting game.
Mortal Kombat would be a good choice
Mugen gotchu covered
@@Youzan808 Sadly, Guts Mugen Char had an Unfair IA, specially when the Berserk Armor is activated
@@crismegafanxd1518 his frame 1 jab is ridiculous
It'd be a stomp, but what a meeting/ match it would be
This is too much of a Stomp💀💀💀
Kratos obviously has this in the bag because the dude is a god while Guts is a just a mortal man
I mean, you'd be surprised. There's been plenty of moments in Berserk where Guts was getting his ass absolutely handed to him, but then he spots and executes spur-of-the-moment counterattacks at precise moments to turn the tide of the fight. Biggest example was when Mozgus' angels had him bound and were smashing him with a giant wheel, but then at one point he went "fuck it, I'll use this to my advantage" by firing off a cannon shot at the same time he gets hit (killing the angel who just smashed him) and uses the velocity to launch himself at another one to chop it in half. Or later on after that, he was getting absolutely pounded by Mozgus, but then decides to pretend like he's out of energy by weakly punching him before falling over, only for it to reveal that he deliberately placed high powered bombs into a weak spot in the guy's chest.
Basically, Kratos better be sure that he finishes the fight fast and quick, or Guts might pull a fast and clever move at some point that could cripple him in an instant. Basically being far more of a clever fighter than a purely brute force one, unlike Kratos.
Unless we use SMT Guts
@@norrecvizharan1177 Sure but like....
It's fucking Kratos bruh, that mf be fighting literal gods and not like, self proclaimed like ACTUAL GODS
Remember, Kratos may be stronger but Guts fights things stronger than him everyday.
Death Battle said so, so it’s obviously true!
@@aceg.rookie Yea, the way they worded it definitely wasn't a great explanation, but it's still possible to point at situations within the manga and go "this is where the overpowered guy got too cocky and fucked up" in the fights. So I think their main point was that Guts just has a tendency to exploit overconfidence/weaknesses rather than just being strong.
Kratos vs Guts? This is legendary!
I hope this get a vocal track ❤
You will
Sounds very badass
The god of war Vs the black swordsman…that would be a GREAT FIGHT
A calm and reasonable soundtrack for two calm and reasonable people
This feels like kratos is trying to de-escalate the fight guts wants to have with him
First Therewolf uploads a Vs track of two of the most hopeful/inspirational[at least to me] heroes, then Brandon follows up with a Edgelord supreme match up, today is a good day
Dude this the track artwork looks amazing for this one. I genuinely want to see the artist who made this
hey hattoripool what are you thoughts on griffith vs archaeon the everchosen
The slayer of demons against the (former) slayer of gods.
Let's see, if we base ourselves on the Lore of both Visual Works, then Kratos easily Soles Guts along with his entire Verse, since Kratos, in addition to having much more Material to Analyze, has more Feats than Guts himself. Not to mention that Kratos is not only a character in Games, but also in Comic's
This would be an extremely sad death battle
ABOUT TIME WE GOT A KRATOS MATCHUP!!! Second favorite character in fiction
Based Kratos W, though sad Guts L
@@oswinvalle1958 Guess what? Kratos solos Dragon Ball
@@oswinvalle1958 No.

No.
Go touch grass and stfu about your precious dragon ball crap.
That track art is raw
not a remotely fair fight. But modern kratos wouldnt kill guts if he had ANY choice. Id love to see the look on kratos' face when he punches this mortal man with the force to explode most men, only for guts to get back up, spit out blood and smile. I think even Kratos would have to acknowledge that guts is pretty badass.
These two would get along in their modern incarnations I think.
Man, Guts sure gets commissioned a lot. I guess people really want to see him fight again.
In a fight Kratos wins obviously, but fuck I’d pay good money to see these two just sit down at a table together and just…groan loudly and tiredly
Love how it has a bit of "Hurt" in it, especially at the start. Super well done!
If there was a mortal that could give Kratos a fight, it's Guts. Kratos still stomps, though
This is just like hulk vs doomsday between two angry men.
As much as I like Guts more than Kratos, I know that not even the black swordsman can beat a god of war.
I like the Chains of Olympus logo in "Ghosts".
I noticed that if you look closer it has the Nordic symbols used in god of war 4/ragnarok so maybe a mix of both.
Such a huge stomp but it’s good
It has been a while that a track was able to ring out so much emotion... both have faced hell and heaven... both maimed by it... both calm damaged souls... you need more people to appreciate your craft brandon... 👍
In the case of a Death Battle gotta give this one to Kratos. While both have arms and armor that can do serious damage, one of them has more fighting experience and speed......and that's Kratos.
This track is amazing, definently my second favorite so far in this volume (passing Just A Petal but behind I Am This Machine). And of course, some more commission ideas.

An absolutely fitting matchup, and stellar artwork. I’m glad you went with a more melancholic feel for this track, helps convey just what kind of fight this would be (besides bloody and brutal).
Kratos stomps. He's easily stronger, has a more varied arsenal depending on which version is being used (Greek or Norse), he can likely steal or *destroy* Dragonslayer, plus some of his enchantments from the Norse saga give him an ability akin to Bayonetta's Witch Time. He could easily get around the Berserker Armor's "protections" by simply bisecting or decapitating Guts, either of which he could easily do.
Ok the art is so damn amazing
Does the intro give anyone else vibes of Metallica's "One"?
...I mean I love Guts and Kratos is cool and this track is that but uh...Even as a MAJOR Berserk Fan, Kratos like...murders Guts. If not immediately, then definitely overtime, sadly e_e...
Also, as a side note does anyone know how to...reach Brandon for commissions? I'm interested and had one or two ideas myself that I got money for!
Holy shit, that track art is fucking raw! Looks amazing!
I can imagine this ending like Guts v Dimitri, with Kratos deciding to fight for Guts
i wish this was on spotify
This one's getting vocals, bet your bloodiest boot on it
This would be a good match up. Both have equal amounts of strenghts and similarities to where it could come real close. Also this track is amazing as always Brandon! Keep up the amazing work.
I uh, would definitely not bet on their strengths being equal
Very atmospheric and powerful this one is
Guts: Out of my way Villian...
Kratos: Villian? Im not a Villian....Im a god....
Guts: what kind a god...?
Kratos: A God......of War...

I kinda expected this to be a heavy metal song but it’s still a great song Brandon
3:39
Kratos: You poor Man. I will release you from your torment.
"Pull out the Blade of Olympus".
There are two ways this can be interpreted depending on which Kratos is being used.
Young Kratos: Kratos (with the Blade of Olympus) and Guts (in Berserker Armor) are angry and are slashing each other over and over, screaming in anger while doing so with them shrugging over any blow that the other is doing until Guts falls to the ground, dead.
Old Kratos: Kratos activates Spartan Rage as he faces Guts in his Berserker Armor, with them attacking each other and shrugging off the other's blows until Guts falls to the ground, dead.
nah this fight will be short they'll shake hands and walk away after hearing each others struggles
Death battle needs to bring guts back, it’s been long enough. That or maybe Griffith.

Rip guts
Kratos definitely wins this one but I love the song and I also love the characters and it sucks that Guts is going to lose
Frankly, I see this fight going on as something like what a battle with Alucard from Hellsing against a mortal would be. Yes, Kratos would fight for self defense and to ensure that his own mission can be completed...but to go up against a human who rejects the Gods and battles for the sake of humanity...Guts would qualify as a worthy opponent.
a perfect musical representation of these 2! and it sounds really good to boot!

Completely random suggestion that I'm literally just commenting before I forget: dorn il khan ( baldurs gate) Vs sten ( dragon age origins). 2 humanoid, tall, dark, brutally honest optional party members, that have a strange sense of honour and duty, wield large 2 handed weapons that are strongly bonded with them, and are surprisingly strong, but at the same time squishy for what you'd expect of them ( at least in my opinion) and being initially very reserved about themselves, baring very limited information about their goals, and having dark pasts of sorts.
