Ed: The Jungle. The habitat of wildlife. This part of the world is usually governed by a strong creature.

Demo: And that creature just so happens to be our closest descendants to the old era! The Apes! So, let's pick two powerful apes and have them battle to the death! Donkey Kong, Defender of Kong Island...and bananas!

RUBY: And King Kong, Guarding of Skull Island. I'm RUBY and these two are Ed and Demo!

Ed: And it's our job to analyze the weapons, skills, and abilities of these two gorillas and find out who will beat the chest of victory in a Death Battle!


Donkey Kong


Ed: Long, long ago, in the city of New Donk City, an illegal pet gorilla fought his abusive owner on a construction site for the affection of a young lovely woman. After the conflict was resolved, with him falling off the building, hitting his head, and getting captured and rescued by his son, he fled to a remote island to live happily.

Demo: Then, that Ape's son brought another ape, but this one was special. Born under the light of the stars, this baby ape would become one of the seven-star childrens, blessed with extraordinary power and destined for greatness!

RUBY: That ape would grow into a powerful protector and ruler, and an equally powerful adversary to Nintendo's greatest characters. His name… is Donkey Kong.

Demo: Real creative Nintendo! Let's just put the name, not twice but thrice, in a family tree! Nobody would suspect a thing~


Background:

-Height: 6'1"

-Weight: 800 lbs

-Ruler of Kong Island and Leader of the Kong Family

-One of the Seven Star Childrens

-Mario's official foe (Technically, it was his grandfather but…)

-Loves bananas...A lot


Ed: Donkey Kong, or DK for short, is the leader of the Kong family and the destined ruler of the Island. He spends most of his time either eating bananas, hanging with his friends, or fighting his arch-nemesis, the previous DB combatant, King K. Rool.

Demo: As King of the Jungle, DK would pick all the bananas in the area and hog them to himself and the family. Unfortunately, those stupid crocs and creatures of the jungle have begun to steal his stash, right under his nose!

RUBY: This gorilla isn't smart, isn't he?

Demo: Trust us. It's a miracle that he can operate a TV. Either way, for those poor thieves who are dumb enough to steal, they better be prepared 'cause DK is packed with serious power!


Skills & Arsenal:

-Superhuman Strength, Speed, Durability, Stamina, and Reflexes

-Expert Climber

-Hypnosis Resistance

-Slight Electrokinesis

-Giant Punch

+Can created explosions and lighting

-Hand Slap

-Headbutt

-Barrel Roll

-Simian Slam

-Spinning Kong

-Jungle Rush

+Coconut Shooter

+Orange Grenades


Ed: No kidding. DK is one of the strongest beings in the Mario Universe. His superhuman strength can knock powerful foes in just a few swings, and even shake the entire earth with one palm. His punches are so fast, that he ignites the air and causes explosions. But that's not all he has to offer, he is fast enough to dodge arrows, cannonballs, and lighting. His durability is insane, surviving explosions point-blank, being sent flying sky high, and even getting hit multiple times without much of a scratch.

Demo: And he put all that strength into devastating attacks! Like his trademark Giant Punch! A fist-charged attack that can send an opponent flying into the horizon! His Hands Slap can cause small earthquakes and destroy meteors with a clap. His headbutts can plant enemies to the ground, the Spinning Kong brings a tornado of pain that DK can use to float around for a short time, Simian Slam is a belly drop that can cause a small shockwave, and the Barrel Roll is a rolling attack of pain! But his best, and most powerful move is none other than the Jungle Rush, where the Big Kong rushes devastating punches at Mach speed before delivering an uppercut that sends poor fellows into the sky.

RUBY: Which has allowed him to manipulate lighting into his hands and feet, delivering electrifying blows. He also has a gun that fires coconuts, which makes no sense! The 'gun' is just a log-shape weapon that fires brown-watery projectiles that somehow can kill crocodiles, AND can hold over 100 coconuts somehow! At least his grenades are somewhat easy to understand, despite not knowing how oranges can explode like a bomb!

Demo: Easy. Put powder inside and connect it with a trigger device. Boom! Exploding oranges!

RUBY: ...I'm being sarcastic.

Demo: And I answered back with smartness. Ha! Beat that, artificial intelligence!

RUBY: ...Initiating Demo beat down. (Takes out several Gatling guns)

Demo: ED! Save me! (Runs away in fear while bullets began to follow after him)

Ed: RUBY, WAIT!

*Technical Difficulties brought you by screaming Chibi Demo running away from bullets and rockets.*

Ed: *Ehem* With such power in the palms of his colossal primitive hands, DK and his friends had gone through many adventures.


Feats:

-Successfully defended his island and recovered his bananas multiple times

-Rival to the Star Childrens

-Withstand Mind Control

-Survived an explosion that sent him into orbit...twice

-Punch the Moon into the planet

-Defeated King K. Rool, Ghastly King,

The Snowmads, Lord Fredrik, and The Tiki Tak Tribe

-Survived…Mario Party!


Ed: With his strength, DK had destroyed small meteors, pulled ships from the ocean, and could potentially create a tsunami. He has battled the likes of Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Yoshi, and Wario. All of them have enormous strength feats, from island destruction to black hole durability.

Demo: And the pinnacle of his strength lies in none other than on the moon! After surviving an explosion that sent him and Diddy Kong into orbit, DK charged up his Giant Punch before...punching the moon into the planet, landing on top of a living volcano! As stated before in the Ridley Vs King K. Rool fight, this moon is smaller than the one on earth, approximately 2,775 feet in diameter, and weighs 9.9 quintillion tons. To move it, Donkey Kong would have had to punch it with the force of over 3000 megatons!

RUBY: Meaning that DK's punches are more powerful than the Tsar, the most powerful bomb ever tested with an explosive yield of over 50 megatons of TNT.

Demo: SHIT! This monkey has 50 times more power than that! Is a miracle the world of Nintendo didn't blow into pieces with that Moon landing!


Weakness:

-Seriously Stupid

-Lazy and unintelligent

-Hit first, question later

-Motivated only by Bananas and Loved ones

-Defeated by Mario several times

-Apparently, took a page out of Samson's weakness


Ed: Still, even with its impressive strength, DK is not infallible. As already shown, he is not smart. He has been captured or beaten multiple times, and even one time, he lost his memories and got tricked into believing he was a different creature he was not.

RUBY: He is also lazy, like, Robbin Rottens-level of lazy.Reasons why almost all of his enemies managed to get away with his banana stash. In Wizard's words, bananas seem to be the only thing that motivates DK to even fight, as well as protect his friends.

Demo: And in that crazy scientist's words as well, that's the only thing he needs to bring a fucking moon down to earth! Mess with the D~K, uh~uh~uh! Your gonna get hurt~

Ed: You try to rap?

Demo: Can't blame me for trying!

*Donkey Kong repeatedly pounded his chest while hordes of bananas fell from the sky around him.*


King Kong


Ed: The year was 1933, an island was first discovered around the Indian ocean. How was it found? Some say it was because of a hungry-adventure movie maker looking for clips. While others claimed to have been found by the military in a bomb test field.

Demo: One thing's for sure, Skull Island was home to a few humans and a lot of monsters! There were dinosaurs, giant squids, and even some...underground reptiles thing-y?

RUBY: And above all those creatures, one stood tall as King and Protector of the island; a Goddamn 336 feet tall Kaiju ape! King Kong!


Background:

-Height: 336 feet

-Weight: 158 tons

-Defender and Ruler of Skull Island

-Sole Survivor of his race

-"The Eighth Wonder of the World"

-Identify officially as a Kaiju (Megaprimatus Kong)

-Has a good connection with female humans


Ed: There's been multiple King Kongs in movie history. Each one is bigger than the other. But for this fight, well used the most recent 2021 Kong. We will also include anything related to its previous forms. Consider that it is probable he can do them.

Demo: Let's start the story with something original. Big Kong has been protecting Skull Island for over decades. While this is how it started, it would soon be revealed that Kong's species come from a different earth, located at the center of the planet. Extinction 'apparently' happened as this Ape's family escaped and headed to Skull Island...where they would lose their lives against those weird lizard things.

RUBY: Alone on the island, Kong would become God to the humans in that place. Protecting it from any threat, which included outside humans. But very soon, King Kong's destiny would come into place.

Ed: You see, a prophecy was foretold back in the days. Two Kaiju would fight for dominance and be declared the King of Monsters. One was the current titleholder, Godzilla, and the other was Kong. These two would fight to the death until one true King is left to rule the world.

Demo: And since he was going face to face with the monster that made Japan its playground, this giant ape had to bring an arsenal worthy of a warrior and King. I mean, he is a Kaiju after all! He needs to have cool powers!


Skills & Arsenal:

-Inhuman Strength, Durability, Agility, and Endurance

-Minor Healing Factor

-Climbing Ability

-Intelligence

-Electric Absorption

+Conduct electricity through his body

-Battle Ax


Ed: Well, outside of his 'obvious' inhuman abilities, which brings strength to cause islands to shake with magnitude 4 earthquakes, and his ape heritage allows him to move around as if the terrain he is in is his own. He has a minor healing factor that helps him patch up wounds. His fighting instincts are impressive, he's been living for a hundred years, so his experience has lasted for decades. And despite fighting with primal instincts, Kong has shown great tactics, using his environment to his advantage in a fight and showing impressive problem-solving skills. He even learned hand signs to communicate with humans.

Demo: Then there's his recent and official weapon. After discovering his birthplace, Kong would find the Battle Ax, a craft of a dorsal plate from a Gojira, the bone of a (possible) Muto Kaiju and wrap it all up in thick Godzilla skin, this can absorb so much energy inside, not only does it grants Kong the use slight electrokinesis through his arms, (but is it permanent? Probably.) It's able to absorb Godzilla's Atomic Breath, which carved a huge hole in the ground, all the way to Hollow Earth!

RUBY: Taking the length of the crater (somewhere around 90 meters or more), taking the granite of the earth, and taking Kong's height, Godzilla's Atomic Breath would have to fire a force of over 600 megatons! That's six times more power than the Tsar!

Demo: If that wasn't amazing enough, the ax is capable of hurting Godzilla and Mecha Godzilla, with the reptilian God surviving a meteor without a scratch and the mechanical Kaiju surviving the explosion of his Absolute Zero blast!


Feats:

-Can break the jaws of a T-Rex

-Easily break off metal chains

-Did not respond to King Ghidorah's Alpha Frequency

-Survived and dodged Godzilla's Atomic Breath

-Survived getting crushed under a mountain

-Judo Throw Godzilla over his shoulder

-Could potentially survive a fall from the Empire State Building (King Kong Lives!)

-Defeated Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, Ramarak, Gorosaurus and Mecha-Kong


Ed: Kong has appeared in more than just movies. Aside from his inhuman strength that could easily tear metal into pieces, Kong has been fast enough to dodge Godzilla's Atomic Breath, which moves 300 m/h, and even survived getting hit by it. He can tank explosions and get crushed under a mountain.

Demo: Dinosaurus, skull-crawlers, squids, nothing could overpower him. Not even King Ghidorah's alpha shout, who was powerful enough to cause other Kaiju to come to him! He has taken out the King of Monsters, his metal counterpart, Godzilla's metal brother, and many mighty dinosaurs that could cause him problems!

RUBY: Despite being labeled a God, this Kong is best known for his heartbreaking deaths.


Weakness:

-Despite stubborn durability, heavy machinery, explosions, and deadly wounds can hurt/kill him

-While good intelligence, he is not that smart

-The Battle Axe can lose power after too much use

-Has died multiple times (Mostly by beauty)

-King Kong (1) Godzilla (2)


Ed: While having the size of a Kaiju, and capable of taking on radioactive energy and explosion, Kong had been brought down by bullets and fatal cuts. In his fight with Godzilla, he got manhandled hard, to the point where he was so close to dying, until a futuristic car detonated in his chest, pumping the heart.

Demo: There's also the fact that the fucking ape's legacy ends up being killed by either a plane, drowning, being a meat shield, bullets piercing, and even a big hard Godzilla stomp on the chest! And guess what? Love is the main (most of the time) reason this guy even dies! Truly, the author of the character took a lot of inspiration from Beauty and the Beast!

RUBY: How did Edgard Wallace and Merian C. Cooper not get sued by Disney?

Demo: Well, that's very easy my dear! You see, before 19-something, Cooper, Wallace, and Walter were friends back in school. When Disney was created, the three of them, and this very confidential information, made a bet to create two separate stories that are 'totally' unrelated to each other-(Continues to ramble nonsense theory while Ed sweat drops)

RUBY: So, am I getting an answer? Or is that a big mystery?

Ed: The second option by the author's choice. Besides, while it is a tragic story where the beast perishes, King Kong will never truly die. Despite a sad ending and multiple incarnations, this Ape has proved time and time again, that there will always be a Kong to rule the world! Even Godzilla had to acknowledge this Kaiju's strength.

*King Kong repeatedly beats his chest, letting out a mighty roar as the military falls back*


Ed: Alright! The Kongs are ready to rumble! They are bringing in their strength and primal instincts to this fight!

RUBY: Initiating battle simulation. Starting a fight in ten seconds.

Demo: Here we go! Two Kongs enter the arena of bloodshed, and only one will come out as the true King of the jungle! Let's get ready for a DEATH BATTLE! *Repeatedly beats his chest*


Ever since discovering the Hollow Earth, it has been a mine of secrets and discoveries. Resources had been excellent, but the best part of this discovered world was the spacious habitat for its King.

Said King was a 336-tall Gorilla, covered in scars and dark-grey fur. His heavy feet stomp on the solid ground, leaving phantom footprints before jumping into the air, grabbing a vine, and swinging forward.

The King of Skull Island, Kong, was in search of food yet again. The humans who are watching over him had gone to do some human-ly things—leaving him alone at the moment, which pleases him in solitude.

That meant that he had time for himself only and no need to entertain the curious mortals of his species.

Growl~

And it gives him some time to eat for himself without any kind of eyes on him.

Kong looks around the forest, trying to find any kind of food source to eat. His nose suddenly picks a sweet aroma, making him salivate with some phantom taste. He began to stomp his way to where the smell was. Once he reached it, his ape eyes looked around and then found something that made him interested.

A large number of bananas mount all together into a pile that one would consider a mountain. A smell that he had never thought he would see ever. Licking his lips, the last Kong extended his hand and, in a quick swipe, took every single banana. It was at that moment that another creature came from the forest, delivering a few bananas.

The said creature was also a gorilla, unlike King Kong, this one was smaller than it but bigger than a human. He had brown fur and wore a red tie with the initials 'DK' on it.

Donkey Kong was humming in delight at the big batch of bananas he had gathered in this jungle. But his happy tune changed as his eyes came out of his sockets at seeing a humongous gorilla standing in front of him. He watched in horror...as the ape had grabbed his entire batch-

*Chomp! Gulp!*

And swallow it all in a swoop.

DK's jaw dropped before his right eye began to twitch. His face began to turn red as his expression changed into anger and steam came out of his ears before dropping the bananas he had and letting a defiant roar out while beating on his chest like a tambourine.

Kong raised an eyebrow in confusion as he heard the scream. Looking down, he saw a small gorilla just like him in complete anger beating on his chest. It made him confused as to why he was angry. He probably couldn't see it since he was too big, and the fact that the ape was only shouting "OOK! OOK!" all the time. It then took out a barrel and jump into it-

Boom!

Which was followed by the barrel shooting like a cannon, DK spinning fast and slamming himself hard against King Kong's face, his muscles rumbling by the sheer force and sending the giant ape staggering backward. Kong stumbles backward to a stop, blinking stupidity as he holds his now hurt cheek. That emotion began to morph into complete anger and growl with his canine showing and turning to the small ape.

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"

Kong let a mighty roar that blew trees, small creatures, grass, and dirt away.

DK felt his body being pushed back by the sheer roar from the giant, but it paled in comparison to his anger at losing his banana stash.

"Ooook! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!

It wasn't remotely in the league, but he roared back in defiance.


Welcome to my Jungle. Now get the FUCK OUT!

FIGHT!


DK began to spin his arm in a circle. Kong pulls his gigantic hairy arm back before throwing it forward, at the same time DK charges his Giant Punch before jumping and throwing it forward, clashing with the giant Kaiju's ape fist. Despite the small height, DK's punch managed to put up a fight against King Kong's mighty punch. However, the giant Kaiju proved to be superior as he grunted and overpowered the tiny punch, sending DK flying right through the woods, who screamed as he smashed through multiple trees.

Dazed but not out, DK recovered just in time...for his eyes to pop forward at the falling ape, whose two hands were coming down hammer-style. He jumps backward as the gigantic hands collide with the earth, breaking it apart and forming cracks. The Kong of Nintendo grabbed a vine and began to swing around the recovering ape. He grabbed another vine and pulled himself with it, as a makeshift slingshot, before shooting himself like a cannonball once again. His Barrel Roll spun in the air and collided with the deity of Skull Island's face yet again, sending the Kaiju tumbling into the ground.

King Kong stood up, grunting in slight pain and anger, swinging his palm in the air. Since he was in midair, DK couldn't dodge it and brace for the impact, the attack pulverizing any sort of block he had and sending him far away. Screaming in his language, DK crash lands on top of an unfortunate lizard of the Hollow Earth. Jumping back from the squash animal, DK released steam from his nose before grabbing the tail of the animal and swinging it like a club.

He didn't have to wait much as King Kong fell from the sky. The Giant ape had to narrow his eyes to find the tiny monkey, and when he found it, he was hit hard by the dead lizard. DK slapped him multiple times before sending one hard slap that caused the dead lizard to burst into a paste. DK began to spin his left arm in circles, charging it as he came close to King King's disorientated face. He delivered a powerful Giant Punch to the face of the Kaiju Ape, the force sending him flying back for the first time.

Although not far, Kong landed on the ground, which created a small shake in the land and formed multiple cracks on it. Kong rose, just in time to see DK landing on his massive chest. He roared in his language before raising his hands and beginning to Hand Slap him.

Normally, something like that wouldn't be a threat...But those hands have caused earthquakes before so-

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*

Kong flinched in slight pain as each palm strike felt like a boulder, his chest rumbling by the wave. However, he will not succumb! Letting a defiant roar, he bumps his chest high, sending the small Kong into the air by surprise. However, Kong's giant size, he curled into a ball, squashing DK, and started to roll forward, crushing trees and rocks and leaving an impressive mark of destruction. His rolling came to a stop when he bounced into the air, maneuvered, and came down with a devastating belly flop. The collision made the island crumble with the force of a Magnitude Level 8 Earthquake.

King Kong stood up, squinting his eyes at the mess he made and locating DK's hollow form in the dirt. He snorted in satisfaction at seeing his enemy down for good-

*BOOOM!*

"Hye-Hoo!" DK burst out of the hole in an explosive matter to King Kong's face. He pulled both of his hands back and delivered a powerful clap, the shockwave entering the Giant Ape's eardrum, who quickly covered his ears in pain. Distraction in motion, DK managed to land on the ape's moving body and began to walk and climb fast, making his way to the top of the ape's head. Once there, he grabbed a tall strand of hair, and with all his strength, jumped and pulled the giant ape. Slowly, he began to lift him and delivered an amazing judo throw. King Kong was once again sent flying into the air and crashed into a mountain, pulverizing half of it with its weight.

The camera zooms back to show us that the collision caused more damage than expected as half of the island crumbled and began to fall to the side.

Back to the fight, King Kong shook the dizziness and glared harder. To think that a tiny creature like this one was giving him a hard time. He looked to the side to see multiple pieces of debris starting to fall around him, but could not find his opponent, as its size was hidden by the falling debris. Growling, he quickly focuses his hearing on his surroundings.

The jungle is his playground after all. It would be an embarrassment.

*Thud! Thud! Thud!*

Through the falling, he picks something strange. The sound of something hitting a place and moving around…heading in his direction. He opened his eyes and looked to his left, an incoming piece of rock heading his way. Acting on instinct, grab the rock with his hand and made a hammer throw to his left…just as a spinning DK appeared. King Kong counters the Spinning Roll with full force, overpowering the attack and sending the tiny ape far away, the rock crushing on top of him on a small mountain before rolling into the forest, more specifically, the camp where the humans were staying. The rock and DK rolled and crashed through a building, coming to a harsh stop on machinery that got demolished in an instant.

Nothing special…except for the image warning of a small human figure that had an arrow pointed to another bigger figure.

Back outside, King Kong landed on the ground with an earth-shaking tremor. He let out a growl of annoyance and relief. His opponent was small, but it was a mighty warrior. Even so, it was still a mortal being, there's no way he would survive being crushed alive-

*SHAAAAAAAANGH!*

I have no idea what that sound effect was but let's assume it had to do with the bloody beam light that was huge and coming out from behind Kong, who instead of feeling surprised, simply twitched in annoyance as he could feel that this battle wasn't over. With gritted teeth, he could sense something standing behind him, size and all.

The light turned off and revealed DK, who was holding his head in dizziness before shaking it off. When he looked forward he was shocked to see the giant ape in front of him, his eyes turned slightly red with anger, and let a mighty roar fit for a king, small creatures, flying away in fear and the total ignorance of his gigantic size.

King Kong growled as he suddenly grabbed a stick from the ground and raised it, revealing that it was his inherited Battle Ax, all charged up and sparkling with energy. Unfazed by the weapon his opponent now had, the protector of Kong Island ran forward and leaped into the air, spinning his arm a bit quick, with small arcs of electricity surrounding it before throwing it forward. Kong simply raised his ax and blocked the electrifying punch that created a shockwave. Taking advantage, the Kaiju absorbs the electricity from the attack, powering the Battle Ax and creating an explosion that sends DK flying away and crashing. He quickly jumped to his feet and moved out of the way as King Kong fell from the sky and swung his ax at the place he was. The Kaiju didn't give the ape time as he quickly swung his ax at him, DK barely dodged, even his trademark tie almost got cut off. Kong swung his ax multiple times, each one being dodged by DK. Having enough, he swung the Battle Axe on the ground, taking a chunk of earth and throwing it forward, attacking and blinding his opponent, who covered his eyes to stop the dirt from entering his eyes. Momentarily blind was all the time needed as King Kong's fist came from the dust and smashed into the brown ape's face. He quickly delivered a left hook to his stomach before picking him up and slamming him to the ground. He roared as he raised his two arms and delivered a twin double hammer on DK's chest thrice. Nintendo's Ape coughs saliva out in pain before glaring at King Kong, he quickly takes out his coconut shotgun and aims at Kong's face. The Kaiju Ape blinked at the tiny wood hollow, thinking what the hell was the dumb gorilla thinking-

*Thuk!*

Before a giant coconut hit his face hard, staggering back in pain and shock. He shook off the pain quickly, only to have another coconut to face again…and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again-

"ROOOOAR!" Welp! About time he got mad!

He grabbed an incoming coconut with his hand, spun around, and threw it at DK, who just got up only to be hit by the coconut, making flinch. Kong quickly grabbed the Battle Axe with both hands and threw it, the weapon spinning directly at the head of the gorilla…who made the Smash Bros dodge as the weapon flung past him and off the screen.

Both apes look in the direction where the ax was sent flying. With confusion, DK turned to the camera and shrugged, unintentionally making the original Smash taunt, before getting drop-kicked by Kong in the face.

Quickly standing up, Kong delivered a right hook, followed by a headbutt, and finished by raising his two arms and providing a twin hammer drop on DK. The gorilla fell face first to the ground, but stood up as fast with a right uppercut to King Kong's chin, pushing him away and allowing the first member of the DK family to do his Spinning Kong, multiple rotating fists colliding with his opponent. Once the spin stops, DK grabs Kong and slaps him numerous times before pulling King Kong with one arm drag and sending him behind him. Kong rolled through the ground when he landed, stopping against a pillar. He stood up, quite dazed at the attack, but when he looked where he was, he smirked.

It was ready.

Just then, DK landed in front of him, roaring while beating his chest. He glared at his primate opponent, only to see him climbing a wall…that was glowing in pure blue energy in which the Battle Axe had gotten itself stuck.

King Kong reached his weapons and yanked them off, falling back to the ground before raising his ax, glowing in blue and red electricity, before roaring back at Donkey Kong.

This was Kong's plan all along. He had noticed the pillar far away and threw it, intending to charge the ax with more atomic energy. Now it was fully charged and ready.

Letting a defiant roar, DK charges up his trademark punch attack while King Kong charges with his ax high, arcs of blue electricity coming out like the mighty hammer that the God of Thunder himself would do. Once they were ready they ran forward, their steps creating quakes. Both primitive apes leap into the air, one holding his weapon with both hands, while the other pulls back his mighty punch. When close, they both clash their attacks, creating an electric shockwave burst from the collision of DK's fist and Kong's Axe.

One that the Nintendo Ape failed to see as his fist was instantly cut by the blade.

DK screeched in agony as the ax cut his mighty fist in two, before an explosion pushed them both away, crashing against mountains. Kong recovered quickly, holding tight his ax as he stood up. DK however was struggling on his knees as his right hand was now cut to the middle, blood dripping off of his open wound. Seeing his opponent on the ground, horribly wounded, the Kaiju Gorilla stabbed his ax on the ground and beat off his chest, screaming in authority and superiority.

He was the alpha. And this tiny ape is just a runt.

Struggling to stand on his feet while holding his right hand, DK looked at Kong…in uncontrollable rage.

The pain in his hand was nothing. The beating he received was nothing. Respect in battle? Unnecessary. Humiliation? Forgotten.

Those things pale in comparison to the most hurtful feeling he was suffering from…the loss of his precious bananas!

That beautiful mountain of yellow! The sweetness that comes from their peeling! The richness that enters his mouth with every bite!

All of them…GONE!

Because of this stupid ape!

In a surprising move, DK grasps a dangling vine that stood next to him and encases it around his hand, forcing the wound to close as he balled together. Wasn't perfect, but it was enough.

"OOOOOOOOK! OOOKKKKK!" DK beat his chest with might and defiance as his fury eyes glared at King Kong.

The King of Skull Island growl before he grabbed his ax and raised it, "ROOOOOOOOOOOAR!" He slammed the Battle Axe on the ground, creating a massive earthquake that blew it into pieces and pulverized the path, and sent it flying. DK was unfazed by the magnitude of power, nor did Kong consider this a warning. The Defender of Bananas leaps into the giant crumbling earth that flew up, while Kong did the same. Both began to climb at full speed while the ground below them fell off. Reaching the top, both apes glared at each other before making a sprint. Kong swung his ax forward, but DK learned and stood back before throwing a left hook, which Kong jumped back and delivered a spinning swing, forcing DK to lean back. Before Kong could attack, DK quickly raised his left foot, grazing the Kaiju's chin that pushed him away, allowing DK To deliver a devastating headbutt, his skull crashing into King Kong's head. However, Kong managed to withstand the blow and used his left hand to grab Dk's face and swung it hard on the ground, bashing his head multiple times before giving it a hard kick. DK landed on his back, grunting in pain. Before he could stand up, Kong slammed his foot on his chest, his ax raised. DK tried to remove it, but the strength was too much. Kong roared on his face and swung the Battle Ax. Ignoring the foot, DK caught the ax handle, stopping the blade part from reaching his face. Both gorillas began to growl as they started to overpower the other. But because of the position, Kong was slowly pushing the ax down, making DK's efforts go in vain as it reached his lips, only for the member of the DK Family to roll back, taking Kong and himself for a spin around the top of the rolling/falling rock. After a comical roller coaster, both Apes were now standing up, pushing one another, the ax electricity entering their bodies and empowering them. Their fierce glares were recorded in their head as they fought for control. Kong threw his left arm forward, only to be caught by DK, his right hand struggling to stop the ax from falling on him and his left trying to stop the electric punch from hitting his face.

This was it! This was a mighty battle of the Apes! Only one Kong can stand at the top as king!

This fight was about to end…when DK's right hand slipped…and dodge the ax, forcing it to swing at King Kong's stretched left arm.

The Kaiju screamed in pain at feeling his weapon on his limb, feeling the metal entering his flesh, and feeling sparks of electricity entering inside.

Seeing the momentarily paralyze opponent, DK smirks and cracks his knuckles. It was time to end this with a bang! He pulled his right arm back as his body glowed in a multicolor aura. Before Kong knew it, a fist smashed his face, followed by multiple rapid-fast punching attacks hitting all over his body at Mach speed. This was DK's ultimate move, the Jungle Rush! The counter reaches a total of 33 hits, leaving a bloody and staggering Kong. DK let out one final roar as he brought his right fist and slammed it into Kong's chin. The result caused the Kaiju's spine to snap hard, the ax popping off, and get sent high into the air, spiraling out of control before going down. DK grabs the ax and holds it like a baseball bat in rage at the falling gorilla. Once Kong reached his level, he swung it.

Boom!

The falling rock reached its destination on the ground, creating a massive dust explosion that covered almost all of Hollow Earth. When the dust clears, a tall figure walks out from the dust, holding something that glows…it soon reveals DK walking out, breathing heavily and holding the bloody ax in his left hand. He looks at the weapon for a second before throwing it aside. He proceeds to pound on his chest as the victory of the fight was his.

"OOOOOOOOOOK!"

K.O!


Demo: Goddamn! He off him with his weapon! I didn't know DK could embarrass others like that! Guess he was angry enough to do it.

Ed: This was a close match to decipher. Both Apes had quite the skills and arsenal to counter blow for blow. However, there were a few factors that we had to consider. Firstly, their strength looks very comparable at first glance, but DK's strength surpassed most of King Kong's feats.

Demo: One punch a moon from orbit and the other hasn't, it's not that hard!

RUBY: But King Kong's durability at being buried alive in a mountain proves he could survive most of DK's punches. Not only that, he had far more experience in fighting and could be more creative when it came to attacks. So Kong would have deduced DK's straightforward and rational action. He could have tricked him into a trap and finished him off.

Ed: While impressive, DK's durability was also on par, and even surpassed, with Kong. Surviving an explosion that sent him into space proves that DK could survive anything the Skull Guardian threw at him, except for the Battle Axe.

RUBY: The ax is made out of Godzilla's parts, as the King of Monsters has survived a meteor point blank and his body can survive the gamma radiation inside his flesh. Meaning that DK would have trouble destroying such a weapon and that Kong needed to get one solid hit to end the fight.

Demo: And that's where things go a bit hard. Because, shockingly enough, not only could DK take the hits from the ax, he was fast enough to dodge it many times! He is comparable to Mario, who could pilot a star going at Mach 3! Kong has never shown fast reflexes before, so no matter how strong the ax was, it wouldn't help much since he couldn't swing faster. Not only that but after seeing the Jungle Rush in action, there was no way King Kong would be able to dodge or survive the onslaught of explosive blows at Mach speed, even with his healing ability.

Ed: Additionally, DK has experience fighting opponents bigger than him, so Kong's size, while jaw-dropping, wouldn't intimidate him for long. But this could go on and on to debate who would truly win, so let's compare them to their respective opponents; more specifically, the strongest ones.

RUBY: Godzilla was strong enough to create a huge hole that reached the Hollow Earth with his Atomic Breath, which would require a force of over 600 megatons of force, and even survive a black hole. Impressive, but guess who also has survived Black Hole? The Koopa King.

Ed: Bowser himself has survived being swallowed by black holes multiple times and escaped unscathed. Mario has fought him multiple times, and DK can keep up with both in a fight. So it's reasonable that DK can reach the same kind of feat, given the Italian Plumber could ground pound meteors from space! While Kong barely survived his match against Godzilla, by his ax explosion attack and the stomp that almost crushed his heart.

Demo: Wow! Talk about slight miscalculation. I was sure King Kong had this in the bag with his size and strength!

RUBY: As the saying goes, it's not the size that matters, but the deep, thrusting, burning anger of wanting to kill those who stand in your way!

Ed: That's not the saying…but I can see why you say that. King Kong was without a doubt a powerful adversary and dangerous Kaiju with his immense experience, weapon, and durability, but Donkey Kong had the strength, speed, and raging fury to overwhelm the Guarding of Skull Island.

Demo: Kong should have 'ax' first before making DK go full bananas.

RUBY: The winner is Donkey Kong.


Next time on Death Battle!

"In the arena, there's only one rule; defeat your opponent."

A shadow figure walks towards a blinding light, its figure revealing a muscular form while a demonic head mark glows from its back.

"To do that, you do two things to make sure those who target you step back in fear."

Flames erupt from the background as another figure walks forward, looking slightly furry and having a red burning fireball on its hip.

"Either you conquer the Beast…

The muscular figure came out, being welcomed by hundreds of cheers of spectators. It made a few small jumps before shouting loud, fireworks coming out in an explosion before it ran forward.

"...Or you become the Beast!"

The furry figure's eyes glowed in amber color, a beastly growl coming out before it ran forward in four, fire coming out from the path it headed.

"But what happens…when you put a Man who became a Beast…

Both figures reach the center, which has a boxing ring. The muscular figure stopped running and made an impressive jump over the rope, landing on a superhero pose, causing an explosion on the top of the turnbuckle. The furry figure leaps into the air before reaching the ring, followed by dropping in a fiery comet that sends flames upward in decoration.

"...Against a Beast who can beat any man?"

They look at each other, one with a wild smirk as its fists both of his hands together, while the other continues to make small jumps, never once leaving sight of his opponent.

"Well, only one way to find out!"
