SCREWATTACK
DEATH BATTLE
Boomstick: Monsters come in many shapes and sizes, but the best ones know Kung Fu!
Wiz: Lucario, the steely canine from the world of Pokemon...
Boomstick: And Renamon, the razor-sharp and literally foxy Digimon.
Wiz: For this match, we'll be analyzing the species as they are.
Therefore, no Trainers or Tamers will be permitted, nor any moves or forms achieved unnaturally.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle!
Boomstick: Pokemon are known for showing off crazy skills in battle, but not many can match the martial arts prowess of a Lucario.
Wiz: The Lucario is a Fighting- and Steel-type Pokemon, well-known for its fondness of combat.
Standing at an average height of 3 feet and 11 inches,
Lucario are usually found training high atop mountains, honing their fighting skills on a daily basis.
Compared to other Pokemon, Lucario are very well-rounded offensive fighters,
with high Attack, great Speed, and moderate defensive stats.
Boomstick: Even though they tend to keep away from people, Lucario are actually extremely loyal to close friends and family.
Some are so devoted to trainers they even figured out how to talk with their minds!
Lucario: 'Why did you abandon the queen?'
Ash: Telepathy...!
Boomstick: Wait, wouldn't it have to be a Psychic-type to do that?
Wiz: No, it just has to star in its own movie.
Boomstick: Well, who wouldn't want to see a movie starring one of these guys?
Lucario is awesome looking; especially those big spikes there. Perfect for a killer backhand!
Wiz: I suppose that may improve Metal Claw attack, one of the many techniques in Lucario's intimidating arsenal.
Boomstick: My favorite is Bone Rush.
It doesn't just sound cool.
It's when Lucario literally creates bone shaped laser weapons out of thin air...
...and then beats people down with 'em!
Wiz: Impressive, yes, though the wild Lucario's most powerful physical move is Close Combat...
...a full-out offensive blitz at the expense of Defense.
Boomstick: And Lucario can use Dragon Pulse; AKA it can shoot a giant energy beam from its mouth.
It's like he's throwin' up lasers!
Wiz: While Lucario does have a variety of more useful moves...
...such as Heal Pulse, Swords Dance, and Extreme Speed...
...all of which many other Pokemon have as well...
...however, Lucario does possess a unique trait: the ability to sense and manipulate aura.
Aura is a spiritual energy described as the essence of every living thing.
A Lucario can harness its own aura to create brand new attacks.
Boomstick: Like Aura Sphere, a projectile so powerful it can destroy stone bridges!
Wiz: But aura has many other uses. By sensing the aura of those nearby,
Lucario can predict incoming attacks,
find hidden people, or even examine environments in a literal out-of-body experience.
Boomstick: I guess it's sort of like Ki from Dragon Ball.
Actually, this karate dog is really starting to remind me of someone...
Wiz: Lucario's power is something to behold.
A single Aura Sphere can even overcome attacks from Legendary Pokemon.
Boomstick: Physically, Lucario is strong enough to mangle the steel claws of a crane with a single smack.
Talk about metal!
Even more, it can move in short bursts of speed so fast it disappears.
Wiz: I should know that the fastest speed a human eye can perceive is approximately 9,000 miles per hour.
Boomstick: And to top it off, Lucario can take a bunch of really bad blows back-to-back and still stand up.
He can survive falling dozens of feet or explosions powerful enough to obliterate whole rooftops.
Hey, that's how I remodel too!
Wiz: A typical Lucario can even survive some brutal beatings from Fire-type Pokemon like Blaziken and Magmar.
This is impressive for two reasons...
One, Magmar's body temperature measures a ridiculous 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Boomstick: Jesus, it's like Smokey the Bear's worst nightmare!
All this guy needs to do is touch a tree and that whole forest is gone.
But not Lucario. No sir, its fur isn't even singed.
Wiz: Made even more impressive by my second reason: Lucario is weak to Fire-type Pokemon. (Technically Fire-type DAMAGE, but hey)
Boomstick: Well, Lucario is also weak to Fighting-types, and it is a Fighting-type, so does that mean it hurts itself? (NOTE: Steel is weak to Fighting.)
Wiz: In a way? But nothing like that.
Lucario aren't endurance fighters and yet often employ hyper-aggressive techniques,
so they frequently overtax themselves in combat and even become confused when tracking too many auras.
Boomstick: This Pokemon rarely backs down from a good fight, even when up against overwhelming odds.
But that's what makes this Kung Fu puppy so friggin badass!
Wiz: With an imposing arsenal and the fighting spirit to match, the Lucario are certainly frightening warriors.
Ash: Why'd ya do that?!
Lucario: 'You snuck up behind me. That is always a mistake.'
Wiz: On the other side of reality, an alternate universe exists.
A digital world full of wonders and monsters...
...and of the Digimon which inhabit that world, few are as respected as the mighty Renamon.
Boomstick: Renamon are rookie Digimon, which basically means they're like Digi-teenagers...
...so THAT explains why they're always so moody.
Wiz: Compared to other rookie level Digimon,
Renamon possesses exceptional speed and attack stats at the expense of fairly low defense.
Renamon's appearance resembles that of a Japanese yokai called the Kitsune, a fox spirit.
These spirits are often described as being very mischievous,
which is ironic given that the typical Renamon is very stoic and earnest.
Boomstick: Plus, some of them really don't care for humanity, and just think of them as a tool for their own evolution.
Wiz: Digivolution.
Boomstick: Whatever.
Still, Renamon are super smart and always keep their cool.
In fact... it may be *too* cool.
I don't like the look in its eyes, Wiz.
It's like it thinks it's better than me.
Wiz: It is better than you, Boomstick.
Not only is Renamon rational and composed, it always showcases exceptional prowess in battle...
...mainly relying on hand-to-hand combat.
Boomstick: More like paw-to-paw combat!
It's got a wicked roundhouse kick, among several other dangerous martial arts skills.
It can use it amazing speed to surprise attack its enemies with its Swift Strike.
Then there's the Super Chop, which is... an even *swifter* Swift Strike.
Wiz: There is also Rapid Kick and Spin Kick...
HMM. Digimon may be effective fighters, but their attack names could sure use a little work.
Boomstick: Don't worry; we're gettin' to the good ones!
Renamon can enhance its attacks with an internal energy that makes GHOST FIRE!
Wiz: This is likely Renamon embracing its yokai inspiration...
...as it's similar to the folklore of a magical light emitted by Kitsune tails which lead wanderers astray.
Boomstick: Okay, but this one is used to destroy people.
When a Renamon comes at you with a burning foot, it's using Power Paw, its strongest physical move.
Some Renamon can even create ghost clones of themselves for additional strikes.
Wiz: But Renamon isn't just kicks and punches.
Its signature attack is called Diamond Storm...
...which summons a furious gust of wind and a terrifying amount of razor-sharp--
Boomstick: DIAMONDS?
Wiz: No, leaves.
Boomstick: Wha--?? The ONE time they try a creative name and it totally doesn't make any sense.
Who comes up with shit?
Wiz: It would certainly make more sense to use diamonds, the hardest naturally occurring substance in the world.
Boomstick: Wiz, why would you just throw away diamonds?
If I were a Renamon, I'd just scoop those puppies up and sell 'em to make bank.
Do you know how many Bigfoot traps I could buy with that kind of money?!
I would definitely have caught that guy by now...
Wiz: But don't underestimate Renamon's Diamond Storm.
It can shatter a wall of ice created by a champion level Digimon, which is a higher, stronger rank than Renamon.
The wall here appears to be about eight inches thick.
Assuming this ice is comparable to blue ice, the strongest, most compact form ice can naturally take...
...this could support approximately 6,000 pounds per square inch before cracking.
Boomstick: So... Diamond Storm is basically hundreds of tiny little leaves hitting you like a truck with a bunch of razor blades stuck to its front.
Wiz: Pretty much.
Boomstick: I just found my next truck upgrade~!
Wiz: Moving on, some Renamon are also fast enough to effortlessly fool the human eye,
consistently reaching speeds over 9,000 miles per hour.
Boomstick: Pretty damn fast for a fox.
The Renamon who partnered with Tamer Rika does this all the time;
ninja-vanishing into thin air is, like, her preferred method of gettin' around.
Wiz: Not only that, but a Renamon is just as capable of taking big hits without concern.
That includes surviving a strike from Harpymon's Windseeker...
...a powerful blade of air which can easily cut through concrete.
Boomstick: But Renamon does have its weaknesses.
While it can hit hard and likes wearing opponents out, it doesn't really have any good tricks to help with defense.
Wiz: A sort of glass cannon fighting style, if you will, which seems to work well enough.
Boomstick: Oh, yeah!
This is still one of the deadliest rookie level mons out there. All in all, Renamon is one stone cold fox.
Wiz: I... don't think that means what you think it means.
Boomstick: Oh, come on. Like anyone's gonna sexualize the Digi-
OH MY GOD, MOVING ON!
Renamon: I must rely on the power within me. I am alone in this world.
Wiz: All right, so combatants are set let's end this debate once and for all
Boomstick: But first all this talk of animals has made me want to eat some
Grand Pappy Boomstick always said that nothing in life is better than good food and...
...making something with your own two hands and Blue Apron is both those things combined
Wiz: Blue apron is the number one fresh ingredient and recipe delivery service in the country.
All ingredients arrive right to your door, guaranteed fresh and ready to cook
Boomstick: It's better than eating fast food, plus it's affordable. Blue Apron is less than $10 per person per meal.
Wiz: Choose from a variety of recipes and get the meals that sound good to you
The ingredients are perfect proportioned and the instructions are easy to follow
I mean even Boomstick can do it.
Boomstick: Hey, watch it or you're not getting any of the next meal I make when it arrives
Like the Chili Butter Steaks with Parmesan Potatoes and Spinach
Wiz: And if you're worried about variety, don't bother. Recipes are not repeated within the year, So you'll never get bored
Check out this week's menu and get your first three meals free with free shipping by going to BlueApron.com/Battle
Boomstick: You'll love how good it feels and tastes to create an incredible home-cooked meals with Blue Apron
So don't wait. Wiz: That's BlueApron.com/Battle. Boomstick: Blue Apron, a better way to cook...
...but right now it's time for a Death Battle!!!
Renamon: Hey, who are you?
You don't belong here. Leave or I'll make you leave.
'PALM STRIKE!'
'POWER PAW!'
'DIAMOND STORM!'
'RAPID KICK!'
Don't bother getting up!
'DIAMOND STORM!'
Are you kidding me?!
Boomstick: Welp! This version of "The Fox and the Hound" ended up with a not so happy ending.
Wiz: Not without an extremely close battle though.
Lucario held a lot of advantages throughout the fight, but so did Renamon.
While both combatants could move faster than eyesight, Renamon did so far more consistently...
...whereas Lucario could only reach those speeds in short bursts.
Boomstick: No big deal though. Lucario wasn't totally outpaced.
So his aura let him sense and predict Renamon's moves to make up for the lower speed.
Wiz: Especially since Lucario's much wider arsenal helped it adapt as the fight went on, unlike Renamon's limited options.
Boomstick: And while their durability was pretty similar, Lucario was the only one with self-healing and stat-boosting abilities.
But most of all Lucario was way more powerful.
Wiz: Lucario broke these metal claws with a Bone Rush attack. They were likely made of construction-grade steel...
...which means in order to fracture it, Lucario must have hit
with a force of at least fifty-six thousand pounds per square inch.
Comparing this to Renamon's six thousand PSI for breaking an ice wall paints a very clear difference.
Boomstick: And as a glass cannon, it's unlikely Renamon could have dragged the fight out until Lucario became overexerted.
Wiz: Ultimately, it was a well matched battle, but Lucario's superior strength and arsenal gave a much-needed edge.
Boomstick: Renamon got Lucari-OWNed. (Boomstick, you have a pun problem)
Wiz: The winner is Lucario!
