A/N: Harbingers of NEVEC...in association with Hazzamo and Zivon96...Presents the most discussed matchup of legendary proportions. To find out who would win in this rematch of the century. Special thanks to John who inspired this episode and was the spark of a mass discussion to debate rather or not to bring back Kenpachi Zaraki and Sol Badguy.
Harry: Previously on death battle two of fictions deadliest swordsman entered the arena and end the end Zaraki survived. After weeks of preparation we are finally back.
Zivon: And everybody wants to know what would happen if they were to fight.
Hazzamo: Again...
DAM: Kenpachi Zaraki, the Soul Reaper.
The Doctor: And Sol Badguy, the Immortal Flame.
Harry: He's The Doctor, that over there is DAM and I'm Harry.
DAM: And its our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a, Rematch!
Harry: Growing up in the lawless town of District 80 of the North Valley of Rukongai. Kenpachi grew up with thieves and murders. However this wasn't all bad as he discovered corpse a corpse and claimed it.
Zivon: See Kenapchi is a Soul Reaper and by claiming this corpse at a young age he created his own Zanpakatu. During this time in his life he became adept in swordplay and killed hundreds.
Hazzamo: He would later join the Gotei 13 a branch of Imperial Guards lead by captains. These captains had powers and skills that basically made them gods. And when he killed his former captain in a fight he too would become the captain of the 11th Division,
DAM: Kenpachi wields Nozarashi a Zanpakuto which literally translates to the weather beaten one.
The Doctor: Nozarashi is a person in of itself according to Zaraki, it possesses numerous 'personalities' and has gone through dozens of phases.
Harry: Its Shikai form is incredibly powerful and comes along with his Shikai Special Ability. Which increases his striking force tremendously.
Zivon: He's skilled Kendo though he despises it and will only use it at a last resort.
Hazzamo: By gripping his sword with both hands Zaraki can access the powers of Ryodan which allows him preform impressive sword strikes removing limbs and splitting bodies with ease.
DAM: To add to his already tremendous power Kenpachi wears bells on his hair these bells can only be heard by warriors who have high Reiatsu power levels.
The Doctor: So Sol won't be able to hear him if he goes stealth.
Harry: He is a highly perceptive combatant, an expert hand-to-hand combatant and a master swordsman.
Zivon: Zaraki's greatest weapon is his Eyepatch Power Seal, with it he can tap into his immense spiritual power and unruly Reiatsu control.
DAM: While using this he gains damage resistance and attains two powerful attacks from his Shock Wave to an Energy Wave shot from his blade.
The Doctor: When in this form he possesses immense strength, speed, endurance and durability.
Harry: Zaraki is one of the finest swordsman in his universe and has even proven capable of cutting cleanly though the human body...bilaterally.
Zivon: He's fought in many battles and became the captain of the 11th Division.
Hazzamo: Kenpachi is tough surviving the combined onslaught of Kaname Tosen and Sajin Komamura.
DAM: Another testament of Zaraki's durability and strength he's held back and repelled Nnoitra's Santa Teresa. This scythe is so sharp its how he got his infamous chest scar.
The Doctor: His stamina is also quite impressive capable of surviving countless lethal blows even tanking blows from Kaname Tosen's Bankai.
Harry: Nozarashi's abilities are also incredible with enough power to destroy entire villages with just a swing of his sword.
Zivon: Or rip holes in the fabric of space in its Shikai form.
Hazzamo: Or the time he destroyed an entire asteroid in a single strike.
DAM: Zaraki is also the current holder for the title of 'coolest haircut in all of fiction'. Seriously look at that!
The Doctor: He's defeated numerous enemies including Nnoitra, Kaname, Sajin, Ninjas and even his Reigai counterpart.
Harry: As much as I hate to admit it he's got a lot of weaknesses for one his mental stability is put in question as he seems to enjoy pain a lot.
Zivon: He is arrogant to a fault and is completely reliant on Nozarashi as he isn't truly the best hand-to-hand combatant. Now I'm not saying he's a terrible martial artist I'm just stating he aims more towards swordplay.
Hazzamo: Zaraki is also lacking Bankai a superhuman ability granted to certain captains that boost or provide superhuman feats.
DAM: As if this wasn't bad enough to add to his mental instability he's proven to get very frustrated whenever he's not in a fight.
The Doctor: His healing factor also has limits though he survived a blow from Santa Teresa he was barely able to stand.
Harry: If there is one man who can matchup to this asteroid destroying, space slicing, sword wielding badass. Its Sol Badguy!

DAM: Its time for a REMATCH!
Kenpachi Zaraki walks peacefully through a village coming across a far shorter man with spiky hair staring at a wanted poster of Zaraki. Sensing a fight was near and worried about the villagers around him Kenpachi slowly backed away and snuck off into the woods. Sol then looked towards the forrest and slowly pursued Zaraki. Further inside the trees, unaware of Sol who came barreling through the trees Fireseal leaking flames. His feet digging deep into the ground with each stomp Kenpachi had zero time to react as Sol struck him in the face with a fiery punch. Kenpachi fumbled backwards and glared intensely at Sol.
"You again! I would've thought you'd learn your lesson!?"
"You're going down!" with that Sol transformed in his true gear form.
Kenpachi laughs
"Against you I think I can fight with no restraints at all!" Kenpachi shouted. The Camera pans around both combatants before zooming out.
FIGHT!
Kenpachi and Sol rushed each other swinging there respected swords. Sending sparks into the skies. Zaraki kicked his opponent in the hip knocking him backwards. Sol jumped into the air dodging a two handed swing from Kenpachi's blade. He then sliced at Kenpachi's head, the giant just barely able to duck the blade falling to his feet. Before he could get back to his feet Sol swings his sword a second time bringing it down with all his might. Zaraki rolled out of the way as Sol shouted. "Gun Flame!" sending streams of fire from the ground. Kenpachi jumped to his feet and entered a fighting stance. Sol Badguy accessed his dragon install screaming violently as he became enveloped in flames. Kenpachi rushed Sol swinging his sword in rapid succession Sol managing to block these attacks. Sol then retaliated by riot stomping Kenpachi in the chest.
Kenpachi reared back and returned swinging his sword Sol sidestepping this and swinging his sword slicing deep into Zaraki's hip. Sol Badguy jumped into the air and swung his sword as hard ans as fast as he could. Kenpachi simply raised his blade and blocked it plucking Sol from the air and slamming him on the ground forming a small grater. Sol jumped to his feet firing his Junkyard Dog Mark III casing the round zooming past Kenpachi's face as he jumped out of the way. Zaraki sprung back into action as Sol went to strike down Zaraki slammed his sword into the ground sending a shock wave across the field while also sending Sol flying backwards and crashing through a tree breaking it down with ease. Sol Badguy sprang back to action only to collapse from exhaustion his dragon install running out of time.
Kenpachi swung his sword with both hands sending an energy beam flying at Sol, Sol jumped over this and flipped in the air swinging Fireseal bringing it down onto Kenpachi's blade Nozarashi barely even denting. As Sol hovered in midair for a split second Zaraki kicked him in the stomach knocking him backwards landing on his back. Kenpachi fired another Ryodan beam from his sword, Sol jumped out of the way losing only a few strands of hair. Sol Badguy dashed the now vulnerable Kenpachi and slashed him across the stomach. Zaraki fumbled backwards in pain blood pouring from his wound. Sol leapt high into the air bringing Fireseal down onto his now crippled opponent Zaraki shot his sword out impaling Sol in through the chest and slamming him onto the hard ground below firing a large beam from his sword sending Sol flying across the battlefield crashing though multiple full grown trees.
"Next time watch your blind spot!" Zaraki uttered.
As he walked away he heard a scream come from behind him, "FLAME DISTORTION!"
Sol came flying in enveloped in flames as he punched Zaraki in the face and roundhouse kicked him in the stomach. Zaraki grabbed Sol's leg and threw him over his shoulders. Sol landing safely on his feet shouting, "Gun Flame!" As streams of fire shot out of the ground towards Kenpachi catching the captain off guard. Sol charged Kenpachi and the two clashed swords countering blow-for-blow. To the point that sparks began to fly into the air with every passing sword swing. Kenpachi kicked Sol in the stomach and proceeded to cut him across the chest with a backhanded swing of Nozarashi. Sol Badguy rolled backwards and exited his dragon install leaving him stunned and out of energy.
"Is that it?" Kenpachi asked. "Is this all you have to offer?"
"NO!" Sol shouted. "I'm only getting started."
With that Sol jumped to his feet and fired his Junkyard Dog Mark III casing sending the round into Zaraki's collarbone. Kenpachi spun around and looked back at Sol as he preformed his riot stomp attack on his face. Sol swung Fireseal slashing Kenpachi across the chest three times before knocking him back with his volcanic viper tossing Kenpachi into a tree. Zaraki shook his head and put his hand on the tree ripping it from the ground and throwing it at his opponent. Sol charged Zaraki and jumped into the air swinging his sword cutting through the tree with ease and sending a stream of flames towards Zaraki. Kenpachi rolled out of the way and charged his opponent in midair. Before Sol could land on his feet Zaraki swung his sword slashing Sol across the stomach stunning him, he then proceeded to tackle him. Sol and Zaraki crashed heads punching the other numerous times. Sol managed to find his center placing his feet on the ground as he lifted Zaraki off his feet tossing him bluntly onto the ground forming a massive spiderweb-like grater in the forest floor.
"How's that for power?" Sol uttered.
"It's pretty good, but nothing compared to what I have in store for you." Kenpachi replied, silently muttering "Shikai,"
Sol heard this and stood confused saying, "Shikai what?"
As he said this Kenpachi's sword began to glow bright in a blinding light of energy. Transforming his blade into its Shikai form. Zaraki charged his opponent as Sol Badguy did the same. Sol narrowly ducking under Kenpachi's sword swing which carved deep into the forest behind Sol taking down thousands of trees. Sol looked up in shock never has he seen such a weapon before, thinking What? Thats impossible. Kenpachi swung his sword a second time Sol managing to block it. Sparks were flying all around the two as Fireseal managed to barely stack up against the power of Zaraki' Shikai.
"This is the best I can do! Now tell me does a beast like you experience fear?"
Sol struggled against his much larger foe before finally shouting back, "NO!"
Kenpachi suddenly jerked back in a quick burst of pain, Sol kneeing him in the stomach as his flips backwards kicking him across the face. Zaraki fumbled backwards trying regain his balance as Sol jumped towards him swinging his sword sending Kenpachi flying into the air. Sol's screamed intensified as spiked wings grew out of his shoulder-blades. Kenpachi hovered in the air as he slowly fell back down to Earth. Sol Badguy came flying up to him swinging his sword in rapid succession Zaraki managed to block the majority of attacks but was sent barreling towards the ground by a fiery punch to the temple. Kenpachi crashed onto the ground growling in pain as Sol Badguy landed in front of him.
"Heh, too easy."
Zaraki stood up and swung his sword firing a beam from it cutting Sol across the chest. Sol collapsed to his knees in absolute shock. Kenpachi charged Sol and kicked him across the face swinging his sword in rapid succession. Sol blocking these attacks and countering with his bandit revolver. Kenpachi jumped backwards and wiped the blood from his mouth as Sol continued to scream the flames surrounding him growing larger and larger with every passing second. Kenpachi walked backwards anticipating an attack. Sol Badguy quickly sprung to action sailing towards Zaraki swing his sword shouting.
"Burn!"
Zaraki's and Sol's screams stopped for a moment while a bright yellow and red flash rocketed into the sky a small mushroom cloud forming in the air. As the smoke cleared the forest around the two combatants had been completely burned to the ground. Sol Badguy stood in the center of it exiting his gear form and putting on his headband. Before he could walk away he heard the distinct laughter coming from behind him. Looking back to see a mortally wounded Zaraki emerge from his presumed burial ground.
"Impossible!" Sol shouted looking upon his still living opponent.
Kenpachi laughs and simply uttering, "Is it though?"
The previous battle plays out again in slo-mo showing Zaraki slam his sword in the ground form a small barrier around him as Sol swung his sword.
Sol quickly ripped off his headband a third time, frustrated his opponent was not yet dead he charged him swinging his sword. Kenpachi lifted his hand up catching Sol's sword and ripped it from his hands. Sol went to punch Zaraki however he was unable to strike as Kenpachi had more range kicking Sol in the chest. Kenpachi gripped his sword and swung it in rapid succession striking Sol numerous times leaving him bloodied and bruised. Sol struggled to stand as he spat out blood. Zaraki swung his sword firing a beam from his sword slashing Sol in half across the abdomen. Sol stood silent before falling backwards his two halves bleeding profusely. Kenpachi sheathed his sword before uttering. "This time stay down, I'd hate to humiliate you a third time!"
K.O.!
Harry: Boy am I gonna get a lot of backlash because of this.
Zivon: Don't worry bro, it could be worse you could be like DAM.
DAM: What does that mean!?
Hazzamo: Shorter, perverted, not as attractive you know the usual things.
Harry: As I was saying Kenpachi VS Sol rematch.
The Doctor: Sol may appear far more powerful than Kenpachi ever will be. As he's destroying entire continents and mountain-sized Gears with only a fraction of his power. But, appearances can be very deceiving.
Zivon: Kenpachi's powers are insane he's held his ground against overwhelmingly powerful opponents similar to That Man and Sol himself.
DAM: It's difficult to compare these two as Sol's only using a fraction of his full power. Having said that there is no real proof that he'll ever reach his full potential so what happens whenever you pit somebody with nearly limitless powers against someone who has more for show than for go? Well only one has the powers needed to win.
Hazzamo: This fight was so close, Fireseal's power is deprived from Sol's so it can do whatever Sol is capable of. While Nozarashi in its Shikai form can destroy asteroids in a single swing as well as rip holes in the fabric of space. Something Sol, his gear power and strength couldn't keep up with.
DAM: Sol just couldn't cut it in the end...again.
Harry: The Winner is Kenpachi Zaraki.
The Doctor: Next Time on Death Battle!
Next Time on Death Battle:
"You were trusted to lead the Republic, but you were deceived. As our powers of the dark side of blinded you. You assumed no force could challenge you and now. We have returned!"
A/N: Oh man Darth Malgus I've been wanting to have him fight since the very beginning! And now here he is. But who is opponent? Tone in next time on death battle to find out who will be taking on the Sith Lord. No spoilers to those who already know who he's fighting I'm talking you 'The Doctor'. With that little announcement out of the way please enjoy another collection of One Minute Melees.

60 Seconds!
Melee!

Raiden sneaks his way into a facility cutting down a Genome Soldier with his sword. When out of nowhere Ryu Hayabusa lands behind him tossing a shuriken at him. Raiden reflects this with his blade and enters fighting stance as Hayabusa does the same.
Ninjas F**k Yeah!
Engage!
Raiden and Ryu each swung their respected swords clashing in a vibrant flash of sparks. Ryu Hayabusa jumping backwards and drawing his Fiend's Bane Bow firing off a large barrage of arrows. Raiden cut apart each arrow blocking every last one of them. Before he could react Ryu came sprinting past him slicing him across the chest. Raiden collapsed to his knees and managed to roll out of the way as Ryu swung his True Dragon Sword. Raiden and Ryu immediately attacked each other again with a clash of sword blows. Hayabusa was kicked in the chest by Raiden and fumbled backwards. As Ryu began to regain his abilities Raiden blasted him with a ball of electricity. Hayabusa jumped up to his feet and teleported behind Raiden kicking him in the back of the head. Raiden retaliated swinging his sword blindly catching Hayabusa off guard cutting deep into his chest. Ryu looked up at Raiden and stared intensely into his single eye. Both rushed each and dashed one another clashing swords in yet another spectacle of sparks. Raiden eventually disarmed Ryu and proceeded to swing his High-Frequency Blade in rapid succession striking Hayabusa numerous times before kicking him in the chest completely obliterating him.
K.O.!
Raiden is seen standing on the rooftops of the facility and sees a man wearing Strider gear and a red scarf sneaking his way into the facility. Following this he received new orders to intercept this new challenger.
