Good for Prime.

I'd like to say I'm pissed off about Saga never making it to Death Battle (cause let's face it, neither Galaxia nor Sentry are coming back) but I can't deny this is a far far better match up debate wise so I guess I'm just sad

Is it actually debatable? Idk much about each power wise, but everytime I hear about Superboy Prime he sounds way higher then whatever I've heard for Sentry

Yeah but Saga stops at Galaxy on his own. He probably scales to universal in resistance if we scale him to Libra Dohko surviving entering a black hole, could have universal attack with the Athena Exclamation (if only he didn't need two other dudes to pull it off) and there's the Virgo clash that I believe counts as a multiversal feat (or not, I don't really get how multiveesal scaling works, thing is it was above just destroying a universe) but I don't really see how he could scale to it when he at best is slightly more powerful than Shaka and he needed Shijima to pull this off. There's also an argument to be made about wheter he has awoken the Eight Sense (the one that let's you return from the dead, pretty much the reason why Seiya and others are so OP) or not.

Of coure he gets higher with composite but I don't know if they would give him that

I think Superboy is so high due to the retcon punch but I think Sentry has decent arguments for surviving it. And I honestly don’t know how Prime will put him down. Sentry is one of those characters where even when he dies, he just doesn’t and pops back up immediately. Like even reading him from history wasn’t enough he just kinda comes back no problem.

Believe in the Aizen vs Saga agenda

And hell if you really care about the split personality dynamic, there's also saga vs dark Schneider

Vs connections wiki has an article about Aizen vs Saga but long story short is Tite Kubo, the creator of Bleach, has admitted that Saint seiya is a major inspiration for him, and Saga was almost certainly the basis he used when writing Aizen. So an episode with the two of them would be the ultimate fight between scheming, god hating, machiavellian anime big bads.

Dark Schneider is the main protagonist of the classic dark fantasy manga series Bastard!!-Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy-. He's the spirit of an evil wizard inhabiting the body of a teenage boy named Lucien. This matchup actually has a bit of history as it was fairly popular back in the day on old battle boarding sites like outskirts, in fact I'm pretty certain it was Saga's most popular in those days. Idk how up to date Schneiders scaling is (Bastard!! Is surprisingly still ongoing to this day) but he's usually placed in the galaxy to uni level range so it should be decently debatable. On top of that I know I had a discussion with you a while back about Sentry vs Saga where you said that if death battle did that matchup you'd like to see a moment where ones good side tried to save the other, if they did Saga vs Schneider you could do something similar and have a scene where good Saga tries to free Lucien from Schneiders influence and succeeds if he wins, though if he loses Schneider is just going to kill Saga which is pretty dark but hey it fits the tone of Bastard!!.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was at work.
