WE’RE NEVER GETTING A SAINT SEYIA EPISODE ARE WE?? ;_;

[u/Lord-Baldomero → u/Lonely-Aardvark3377]

Seiya vs Shazamslop or the guy that comes from the non-canon sequel, take it or leave it

[u/Captain-Girpool23 → u/Lord-Baldomero]

Tbf Magik vs Phoenix Ikki has a chance albeit a major reason is because the former’s other popular-ish opponents have more popular matchups that are more likely in turn (like Hellboy for Nero and Meta Knight for Riku. Although in regards to the latter matchup Meta Knight vs Zero is still popular but Meta Knight vs Riku is also pretty popular and overall on the same level of popularity as the former that I can see Death Battle choosing to do it instead)

[u/Lord-Baldomero → u/Captain-Girpool23]

I like to believe so (in fact, it's my last hope aside from Seiya waiting for Usagi's return or... Fuck it, I'd even take Goku vs Seiya at this rate) but it kind of falls in the same category as Shiryu vs Piccolo where it's a perfectly workable match up that's kinda invisible to most people.

Like, I've never seen it brought up outside of the sub neither have I seen trailers of it. At this rate it ain't unlikely we end up losing to Riku

[u/Captain-Girpool23 → u/Lord-Baldomero]

Actually just curious since you mentioned it, but who’s the “guy that comes from the non-canon sequel” that Seiya is put up against?

[u/Lord-Baldomero → u/Captain-Girpool23]

Pegasus Kouga vs Gohan. I do like the match up but it's quite annoying that it seems more and more likely it will be either Saint Seiya's introduction to DB or literally all Saint Seiya will have.

Again, I don't have anything against the MU, Kouga or Omega but it's a character from a series that barely even touches the actual story since Omega is kind of its own thing (like, imagine if Koichi Hiamawari was the only character to ever appear from My Hero Academia or if Omega Shenron was the only DB character)

[u/Captain-Girpool23 → u/Lord-Baldomero]

You saying “Seiya vs Shazamslop (although I wanna note that I disagree with and even consider the “criticisms” that matchup gets to be silly and untrue but that’s admittedly besides the point) or the guy that comes from the non-canon sequel” made it sound like Seiya himself had a matchup that was popular-ish with an character type of the latter

[u/Lord-Baldomero → u/Captain-Girpool23]

Oh, my bad, I just didn't bring up Gohan cause my problem isn't the match up itself. And sure, I can tell you why I don't like Seiya vs Shazam if you wanna
