"Ready you guys?"

A nod was received from the two presenters of the theory-based discussion show. They had taken a break from presenting in the previous episode but now the pair were ready to get back to business. One of them, a Namekian named Piccolo, seemed to be rather angered - though it is unclear if this was his natural expression - the other, a white-haired ninja known as Kakashi, was quite the opposite.

"Let's get this over with. Action!" the executive producer called, as the red lights on the four cameras facing the duo turned to green.

"Hello, everybody. Piccolo and I are back after some business we had to take care of. What kind of business you ask? Well..." Kakashi began, clearing his throat before speaking.

"It's none of your concern. Anyway, in today's episode, we'll be taking a slight break from our Reviewer's Choice series to discuss something important involving a certain internet show," Piccolo interjected.

"Death Battle; for those of you that don't know, Death Battle is a show where two characters named Wizard - played by Ben Singer - and Boomstick - played by Chad James - analyse two different characters and see who would win in a fight to the death. They've been doing this since 2011 and have built up a strong viewerbase that tunes in every few weeks to catch up on whoever's fighting."

"This show has included Vegeta and Goku from my series, who fought against Shadow the Hedgehog and Superman respectively. Sometimes these matchups can result in a large amount of backlash from fans - Goku vs Superman is an extraordinary example. The original video gathered so many views and in recent years, with the reveal of Goku's God forms, fans felt that a rematch would be justifiable."

"Ben and Chad felt the exact same way and released Goku vs Superman 2 during a live stream on the 17th or 18th July, depending on what timezone you are in. Rather, were in."

"We are going to have to spoil the result, so if you can't muscle it, leave this episode IMMEDIATELY. I'll break your neck if you read on and you complain later."

"We cannot stress this enough. Please leave if you don't want to be spoiled, we'll give you time."

Piccolo and Kakashi remained still for about five seconds, in which they began speaking once the time period had ended.

"So, in the fight, Goku ascended to Super Saiyan God and eventually Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, though even his strongest forms couldn't defeat Superman. This was explained in the post-battle analysis, where Superman was stated to have infinite power, which is something that Goku can never obtain otherwise it would just ruin his character. It would certainly put everyone else in our series out of the limelight."

"However, some fans feel that Superman is the strongest character in fiction purely because of his infinite strength. This is horribly incorrect, as there are tons of characters that can best Superman, some even beating the strongest incarnation of the Man of Steel, Superman Prime. For example: there's Silver Surfer, Thor, Darkseid, Beta Ray Bill, Orion, Galactus, maybe Dr. Doom or Iron Man. This is only in the Marvel/DC universe."

"In anime or manga, we have: Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann; Kami Tenchi; likely higher-ups from the Pegasus Seiya and Sailor Moon series; possibly Light Yagami and perhaps others."

"We have made this episode as a sort of 'damage-control', to make sure people don't dish out unnecessary hate towards Superman. He's as much of a character as anyone else, people just don't give him much of a chance. Of course, by 'people', we mean non-Superman fans."

"That is all for today. Next time, we may return to Reviewer's Choice, or we might discuss a theory we come up with ourselves. You'll just have to wait and see."

"Goodbye, viewers."

Ending the episode, Kakashi and Piccolo returned to their personal lives.

Author Notes: I saw Goku vs Superman 2 live on Screwattack's stream. T'was an awesome fight! Hopefully Ben and Chad don't get too much backlash from it...

I also like who's fighting next: Knuckles the Echidna. Whoever he could be fighting is a difficult question, because there are some obvious picks like Wario or Donkey Kong, but maybe they have something up their sleeves. Who knows? I'm just psyched to see one of my favourite Sonic characters entering Death Battle.

Also, I'm on my summer holidays, so expect fan-fiction updates to be much more frequent. See you in whatever's next!
