Okay, I might be wrong here, but I think Goku is going to win and Vegeta is going to lose.

 

Man, of all the in-universe matchups they could have done, they picked a mirror match?

 

Lame. Ultra-lame. Perfect capstone to a season that, with few exceptions, has been lame.

 

What’s next? Green Ranger vs Red Ranger vs White Ranger? Batman in the batmobile vs Batman in the batplane? If you’re going to do in-universe fights (and frankly, I think they should), they should be more creative than mirror matches. Human Torch vs Iceman is a classic waiting to happen (Iceman wins, by the way).

 

Any real, fundamental interest in this fight has been sucked dry by how they stacked the characters. Both Gogeta and Vegito are going to be “composited and scaled,” meaning, we got two identical sets of Goku and Vegeta fighting, same stats, same experience, same knowledge, the only difference is that one set forms Vegito and one set forms Gogeta.

 

…Though, and correct me on this if I’m wrong, Dragon Ballers, but if Vegeta knows spirit fission, wouldn’t that mean Vegito and Gogeta also know spirit fission and can just like, defuse the other?

 

…So, wouldn’t that mean that if they fought, they would just defuse each other, resulting in a coinflip battle between two identical teams?

 

Eh, wouldn’t be the first time death battle ignored stuff. Won’t be the last either.

 

So, the fight is going to come down to the ultimate minutia–I’m talking personal headcannon.

 

Sure, it always comes down to personal headcannon, but this time it’s going to be real overt, because there are sources saying that potara fusion is just plain more powerful than fusion dance, but this may have been retconned, so the episode hinges on “What does Swank think about Dragon Ball retcons?”

 

So yeah, super-lame.

 

Who wins? I don’t know. I’ll pic Vegito. I got a few reasons. This Twitter thread makes as good an argument as any.

 

He also inspired a kid to survive 400 bee stings.

 

 

That’s some “All-Star Superman prevented my suicide” shit right there.

 

Could Gogeta win by taking advantage of Vegito’s tendency to showboat and his knowledge of how potara works to target the earrings? Maybe, but that seems way too smart a conclusion for death battle. They probably think each earring is protected by a ki force field.

 

And the jawbreaker scene with Vegito was cool, so that’s why I’m voting him.

 

On another note, I feel bad for Dragon Ballers. Killing Hulk was like, the end of their performance. They killed Bruce Banner and then got to be the whipping boy of American comics.

 

Goku, Vegeta, trunks, and a Goku+Vegeta are going to die in the same season. Goku will have died…let’s see…twice to Superman, once as Goku Black’s body, once as GT Goku in Trunks vs Silver, and another time if you count the comment that Spongebob could kill him. So that’s, at the very least, 4 deaths, no wins, and after this fight it’s going to be 5 deaths, 1 win.

 

And that one win will be virtually against himself.

 

That is pathetic. Dear God. Someone give Goku a senzu bean! Feed him, I don’t know, Mr. Majestic. He could probably do it if you don’t scale Mr. Majestic. Give the poor monkey man a win. Even Batman has a win, albeit a win he probably shouldn’t have earned, but a win nonetheless.
