(Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston)
Wiz: Today, two experts of destruction and masters of terrain will fight to the bitter end.
Some of the audiences including Akane, Genocide Jack and Monokuma are eager to see the combatants kill each other by causing destruction.
Boomstick: White Bomber, the Bomberman.
Wiz: And Taizo Hori, aka Dig Dug.
"Hmm... Bomberman and Dig Dug... this one is going to be an unusual match-up." Chiaki commented, already anticipating the outcome of this battle.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our jobs to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
"The White Bomber is from Bomberman and Taizo Hori is from Dig Dug which he was name after the game." Chiaki noted
"Hey, it's that one game where the players tried to blow each other up with their bombs!" Mahiru concurred which Chiaki nodded
"'Dig Dug' is his codename huh? I expect the developers to be more creative." Fuyuhiko suggested
"Bomberman was once known originally as Bakudan Otoko which it was released back in July 1983 of Japan. Multiple games come in different genres such as adventure, platformer, puzzle and go karts." Chiaki informed
"It is a one of kind video games from the franchise." Sonia asserted
"And Dig Dug is a maze arcade game where you play as Taizo as he digs his way underground and eliminates all the monsters lurking underground by either inflating them to burst or crushing them with underneath rocks." Chiaki explained
"Sounds like Dig Dug is walk-in-a-park arcade game." Aoi claimed
BOMBERMAN
Boomstick: Bomberman is a psychopathic cyborg slave forced to duel other slaves to the death in dimly-lit maze-like arenas for the entertainment of alien terrorists.
The scene got most of audiences confused of seeing a large humanoid robot fighting in a arena and not the same bomber guy they saw from the teaser.
"No, wrong Bomberman Boomstick." Chiaki corrected him
"Yeah no kidding, who is the hell are we looking at here?" Leon asked, curious about the character
"Another guy who is also name Bomberman, I guess?" Mahiru anticipated
"Definitely not the same guy we saw from the teaser." Fuyuhiko pointed out
Wiz: No, no, not that Bomberman, Boomstick.
The scene change to a cute white and blue robot from the teaser that has big eyes and pink gloves and shoes, also he doesn't have a mouth.
(Cues: Classic Mode/Standard Battle - Bomberman)
BACKGROUND
-Alien Robot Warrior
-Can Generate Bombs
-Defender of the Galaxy
-Use explosions to Save Helpless Planets (Some were confused on this)
-Young and Naive
Wiz: White Bomber, the Bomberman, an alien robot warrior from the planet Bomber who belongs to an intergalactic police force protecting the galaxy.
"That's the one." Chiaki remarked
"Oh, now I see..." Kazuichi responded, now understanding the White Bomber.
Boomstick: Oh. Well, his method of saving those planets is blowing the shit out of them, so he's alright with me.
"How is blowing up all of the helpless planets even saving them?! He's only causing destruction while he's at it." Kazuichi asked
"I know right, watching something explode on impact isn't saving it." Akane agreed
"I believe that's his way of something and he follows it anyways." Chiaki conceded
Wiz: Right! Bomberman cares little for the environment he is supposedly protecting, making him an unpredictable opponent.
"Looks like someone is addicted to explosions." Nagito commented
"Neeheehee, it's pretty obvious that this guy is all about throwing bombs and causing destruction onto his enemies!" Kokichi anticipated
Boomstick: Bomberman's answer to every problem is... explosions! Got a locked door? Blow it up! Behind on taxes? Blow them up! Have a naggy wife? Blow her ass up, too!
"Sure... of course that's his main strategy..." Kaito speculated, a bit of sweatdropped
"Hey, there's nothing more fucking fun than blowing some shit up alright!" Monokid exclaimed
BOMBS
-2 to 3 Second Detonation
-Cannot be Defused
-Upgradeable
-Can be Kick & Thrown
-Can be Powered Up by Being Held
Boomstick: His arsenal consists of bombs, bombs, and more bombs, which usually take about two or three seconds to detonate. And while the explosions start off small, they can be upgraded to destroy an entire acre all at once. Plus, he can charge a bomb up to over four times its size for maximum destruction.
"Destructively cool is what I would say about the bombs!" Monokuma cheered, watching the destruction of fulled power bombs.
"For a White Bomber guy who has unlimited amounts of bombs and so on, standing in his way is the last mistake I wouldn't intend to do." Yasuhiro noted
Wiz: While blasting his way through planet after planet, Bomberman finds numerous power-ups buried beneath the earth.
The whole crowd were now listening carefully to Bomberman's power-ups.
POWER-UPS
-Accelerator
-Armor
-Explosion Expander
-Bomb Kick
-Power Glove
-Super Bomb (Monokuma & Genocide Jack favors this)
(Cues: Battle Game - Bomberman Jetters Music)
Wiz: Bomb Up gives him extra bombs, Accelerator increases his running speed, Armor gives him temporary immunity, the Explosion Expander gives his bombs a power boost, and Bomb Kick and Power Glove let him kick and throw bombs at his own leisure.
"The power-ups are pretty cool and useful." Akane commented
"And yet the power-ups are beneficial in his favor." Byakuya commented
"The problem with the Armor power-up is it doesn't last, so he'll need to use it rationally." Chiaki pointed out
Boomstick: And when he picks up Super Bombs, you know he means business. I'm talkin' T2: Judgement Day business.
The group were witnessing a scene of a massive explosion devastating the whole city and a person who got caught in it were reduced nothing more but their remaining skeletons.
"What... the...FUCK?!" Kazuichi muttered
"Hell fucking yeah! The super bombs are always a guarantee win to shit on everything!" Genocide Jack exclaimed
"I wonder how Dig Dug is going to defend himself against a bomb like that." Mahiru wondered, worried about Dig Dug being outmatched.
The next thing they see is Bomberman riding on kangaroo-like creatures and they come in different colors. Sayaka, Chihiro, Gonta, Ibuki, and Sonia couldn't help but squeal at the adorable creatures.
ROOEYS
-Easily Tamed
-Super Speed
-High Jumps
-Can Step Over Bombs
-Sometimes Called Looeys Or Louies
-And the Pink Ones Dance! (Kotoko likes the Pink Ones)
Wiz: Bomberman can also hatch and tame wild Rooeys, kangaroo-like creatures which give White Bomber a distinct advantage in battle.
"They're sooo cute!" Sonia squealed
"I wish I can adopt a Rooey kangaroo." Chihiro said
"The pinks one are definitely more adorbs." Kotoko suggested
"A creature who hails from the chaotic realm is a worthy call to his kind." Gundham said
Boomstick: Each Rooey has a different ability, though generally they are very fast, have incredibly good jumping skills, can step over bombs, and sacrifice themselves for Bomberman if need be. Kind of like Yoshi.
Some Ultimates were horrified by the demotivational picture of Mario riding Yoshi, who uses him to run off a cliff and uses Yoshi as a platform, so Mario can reach to the other side of the platform while Yoshi falls to his doom.
"Why would he do that?" Chihiro asked, in sadness for when animals are sacrificed
"I would not have thought of Mario being this cruel to some animals." Sonia gasped
"A despicable act for this fiend to sacrificed the ones he holds dear shall be punished for his act of will." Gundhamed chided
"But ttill, the Rooeys are not so different for when Mario's riding on Yoshi." Chiaki noted
Wiz: Which brings up Bomberman's weakness: his own weapons. If White Bomber's careless, he can easily get caught in his own explosion or trap himself between a wall and his dropped bombs.
Monokuma and Miu facepalmed for hearing Bomberman's only weakness is his own weapons.
"Hmph, I'm disappointed for hearing such a ridiculous weakness." Byakuya huffed
"What kind of clumsy dipshit gets killed by his own bombs? They could've thought of something better that would makes sense in a way." Miu protested
"So he has to be careful to not trapped himself by his own bombs, otherwise he'll only screwed himself and it's game over for him." Kaito informed
Boomstick: Yeah, Bomberman's pretty good at blowing shit up, but he's not so hot when it comes to defusing his own explosives, but he's survived through a crap-ton of games, leaving behind many smoldering piles of rubble that used to be planets, towns, and families.
"Talk about morbid..." Chisa commented
Bomberman: I did it!
Despite the simple weakness of his own bombs, Bomberman is an interesting White Bomber that some of the audiences took a liking to him. Chihiro, Sayaka and Gonta loves the Rooeys, Akane likes the power-ups, Monokuma favors the Super Bombs, and the rest were okay.
The next combatant is a man wearing some sort of space suit or mining suit and uses a pump to bloat up a walking red tomato that is wearing goggles and a fire breathing green dragon.
DIG DUG
(Cues: Dig Dug Game Throne - Namco Museum)
Wiz: Dig Dug is an expert excavator and executioner. He consistently traverses the underground to slay dragons.
"Dragons living underground? That doesn't make any sense." Aoi wondered
"What is this? Since when would dragons live underground?" Leon exclaimed
"An interesting question, but we may never know." Kiyotaka replied
BACKGROUND
-Real Name: Taizo Hori
-Honorary Chairman of the Driller Council
-Father of Mr. Driller
-Ex-Husband of "Kissy" from Baraduke AKA Alien Sector
Wiz: His real name is Taizo Hori, which literally means "I want to dig". He is also the father of the more recent phenomenon, Mr. Driller.
"Sounds very reasonable." Chisa concurred
"Must've been running a family business I guess." Koichi claimed
PUMP
-15 Feet' Harpoon-Like Pump
-Forcefully Inflates Foe
-Stuns Enemies for a Short Time
-Injects 10PSI Per Pump
-Pumped Until the Victims Explodes (This disturbed some of the audiences)
Boomstick: Dig Dug has two loves in life: diggin' and killin'. His main weapon is one of the most cruel and deadly weapons I've ever seen. It's pretty much a cross between a bike pump and a harpoon.
"A pump... what an unusual weapon for this man to utilize." Kyosuke noted at the depiction of the weapon.
Wiz: An odd weapon, which I would normally question the efficiency of...
Boomstick: But when he stabs you with it, you're gonna wish you die any other way than what Mr. Dig Dug has planned for you.
"I'm not sure that I want to know more about the pump." Komaru fretted
"Well, I've did executions to some of the students and they're pretty extreme alright, so how can this pump be so devious?" Monokuma wondered, filled with curiosity.
Wiz: The average human body can only take around 15 pounds per square inch of air pressure before death is assured. Every time Dig Dug pumps, over 10 PSI is injected into his victim, quickly immobilizing them. Two or three pumps later, Dig Dug's target combusts.
"Jesus fucking Christ man!" Mondo shouted, watching the walking tomato exploded
"Watching someone getting ejected and fill up like a inflated balloon and burst is just really fucked up!" Fuyuhiko commented
Boomstick: That is one horrible way to die! Imagine after being impaled, you're then slowly filled with air until you explode. Oh man, this guy is sick!
Almost every audiences members were shuddered at the thought of dying in the same way of Dig Dug's enemies.
JACKHAMMER
-Burrows in 4 Directions
-Instant Startup
-Fast & Efficient
-Can Tear Islands Apart
Wiz: Dig Dug also has a jackhammer, which he uses to burrow through the earth at an unimaginable speed. He has total control over his terrain and can manuever through the ground just as easily as walking through an empty field, climbing and crawling without slowing down.
"He might the advantage there if he were to fight Bomberman underground." Nekomaru said
"That's true, he may tried to lead Bomberman I say into a trap or something." Mahiru suggested
"Y-you do have a good idea..." Mikan replied
Boomstick: That jackhammer can even force entire islands to split apart.
"Damn, that's some impressive jackhammer!" Leon whistled
"Enough power to split apart islands indeed." Sakura agreed
"People say, don't judge a book by its cover." Shuichi noted
Boomstick: But the strangest thing is the sound it makes. You'd think a jackhammer would sound like this:
They heard an actual sound of real jackhammer.
"Yeah and what about Dig Dug's jackhammer?" Yasuhiro wondered
Boomstick: But Dig Dug's sounds like this:
Dig Dug's walking sound effect is played which sounds really annoying to some of the Ultimates, making them feel cringed.
"My god, I'm getting cheesed off by that stupid sound effect of the jackhammer in the game." Toko griped
Wiz: Actually, Boomstick, that sound seems to occur each time he takes a step, not just when he's drilling.
"So what, does he have some kind of squeaky shoes or something into making that noise?" Kazuichi asked, curiously
"No, his mining suit doesn't come with any that would sound childish." Chiaki answered
"Then, how is he doing it?" Ibuki asked
"I'm not so sure about it myself." Chiaki answered
"Then again, Dig Dug is a strange one to begin with." Mahiru replied
Boomstick: So... what? It's his feet? Man, that would get really annoying. No wonder this guy is a psycho.
"You can say that again..." Jataro said
Wiz: Dig Dug possesses great physical endurance, climbing and digging tirelessly for unprecedented amounts of time, and yet he is easily defeated when tackled by a tomato with eyes.
Boomstick & Kaito, Himiko & Yasuhiro: What?
Wiz: Yes, Dig Dug battles both ferocious dragons and living tomatoes.
Some were dumbfounded at this as Wiz was not kidding about what he was showing. Dig Dug is literally fighting against living tomatoes and dragons at the same time.
"You're kidding right?" Hajime asked
"Nope. This is definitely realistic." Chiaki corrected
Boomstick: Who in the hell thought walking tomatoes with goggles were on-par with fire-breathing ghost dragons?
"I'm not sure how to respond to that, but this a weird combo to Ibuki." Ibuki said
"Yeah, totally." Usami replied
"I'm feeling like deja vu here." Junko commented
Dig Dug Pumps up dragon three times as the Dragon explodes and the Dig Dug level complete jingle plays as a victory.
For being a constructer who fights against strange monsters, Dig Dug is a very maneuverable fighter who can traverse easily by doing so underground. Nekomaru, Akane, and Tenko were still dumbfounded of how a man like Dig Dug can manage his way with nothing but his pump, jackhammer and his harpoon.
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set! Let's end this debate once and for all!
Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!

Now this is a close poll to decide from. Most of them are suggesting that Bomberman should win because he can theoretically overwhelm Dig Dug with his bombs along with his power-ups which can back him up if Dig Dug managed to turn the tides on him. The only way of finding the victor is to watch the battle and see what happens...
DEATH BATTLE
(Cues: Stage Theme - Bomberman NES)
They see Bomberman is riding a green Rooey across a field when they suddenly cross paths with Dig Dug himself.
Only one master of terrain will come out on top.
FIGHT!
(Cues: Battle - Bomberman 64)
Dig Dug first attacks by firing his harpoon, but the Rooey instantly gets out of the way and dashes into Dig Dug six times. After the last hit, Dig Dug sees a bomb dropped by Bomberman and quickly burrows into the ground.
"Damn, that Rooey is already kicking some ass from the start." Mondo said
"But the battle has only just begun." Celestia replied
The explosion destroys a block and reveals an Explosion Expander, which Bomberman picks it up and Dig Dug sneaks up underneath Bomberman, stabbing his harpoon into the Rooey and after four pumps, the Rooey explodes into a bloody mess, leaving Bomberman on the ground.
"No! Not the cute little Rooey!" Usami exclaimed, as Chihiro, Gonta and Sayaka were also distraught.
He then quickly gets up, charges up another bomb and then throws it into the hole. As Dig Dug was digging in some more, he saw the bomb near him and runs away once again. The blast destroys more blocks, revealing four power-ups: Accelerator, Explosion Expander, Bomb-Up, and Bomb Kick. Bomberman walks over and picks all four of them up before following Dig Dug's trail and kicks a bomb at his direction.
"It seems like Bomberman is putting himself at a precarious situation." Kyosuke noted
"He doesn't even care anymore, he's more focused on obliterating Dig Dug quickly with the aid of his power-ups." Miaya informed
(Cues: Masker - Bomberman 64)
Dig Dug turns around and uses his harpoon to deflect it at Bomberman, which he then kicks it back to Dig Dug as they were playing like some kind of socccer.
"Oh yeah, they're playing Hot Potato, but with a death bomb!" Kokichi exclaimed
"A good statement yes, Kokichi." Monokuma replied
The cycle keeps continuing until Bomberman throws another bomb. Both flee as the bombs went off, creating huge plus-shaped explosion and there reveals a Super Bomb and Bomberman picks it up.
"Oh man." Leon paled when Bomberman picks it up.
"I'm thinking Dig Dug is pretty screwed now..." Kazuichi said
"We'll see..." Mahiru replied
Dig Dug continues fleeing, digging his way upward towards the surface as Bomberman holds the Super Bomb in his hand, charging it to four times its size, before throwing it. The explosion from it is so massive it destroys all the blocks that Dig Dug was standing on, who nearly made it up to the surface as he falls straight down in front of Bomberman, who is already preparing another Super Bomb for him.
(Cues: Boss Intro 2# - Bomberman 64)
As Bomberman was charging it twice, Dig Dug quickly fires his harpoon at Bomberman, causing him to drop the Super Bomb, then pumps him twice before digging underneath to escape the huge explosion. Bomberman was slowly deflating and then turns to see his Super Bomb about to go off.
"RUN FROM IT BITCH! RUN!" Monotaro, Monosuke & Monokid yelled, ordering Bomberman to run away.
But it was too late as his eyes turn large and cartoonish as he lets out a scream before the Super Bomb explodes, leaving a huge hole in the ground. Dig Dug then looks over at the newly-made hole, seeing that his opponent was obliterated by his own bomb.
K.O!
RESULTS
Those who voted for Dig Dug clapped for him while the ones who go with Bomberman were cheered him and a little were pissed off.
"Come the fuck on dude!" Mondo raged
"I know, he had literally everything he needed and he STILL somehow fuck himself over!" Fuyuhiko noted
(Cues: Trailer Theme - Dig Dug Remix)
Boomstick: Yeah, explosions!
"Damn right they are!" Monokuma exclaimed
Wiz: Dig Dug is a difficult opponent for anyone to beat, not for brute strength but maneuverability. Dig Dug had complete control over the terrain right off the bat, while Bomberman was forced to rely on his power-ups for success.
"And yet, he failed by killing himself with his own bombs." Shuichi said
Boomstick: Taking the fight into the ground gave Dig Dug a huge advantage.
"Facts." Mahiru pointed out
Wiz: Even after if it looked like Bomberman took the lead, Dig Dug proved he could control his opponent just as much as he can control his environment.
"That is also true in his case." Chiaki agreed
Boomstick: Bomberman sure went out with a bang.
Some of them laughed the pun while the rest groaned.
Wiz: The winner is Dig Dug.
This was a close match, but as for some who voted for Bomberman were still disappointed that he lost. Now to see what's next.
Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle!
The teaser that they show was a black and red anthropomorphic hedgehog walking towards a cliff, but he was all golden and he's glowing in some kind of energy and his voice they heard was chilling and intimidating.
Hedgehog: I am Shadow, the ultimate life form!
And his opponent was a man wearing some strange combat armor and his spiky hair and eyes are black, but his hair is golden and his eyes are green, which he was also surrounded by aura of immense energy and with a smirk on his face.
Man: And I, am the Prince of all Saiyans!
"*Gasp* Could it be...?!" Hifumi exclaimed
"There's no doubt about it. It's the prince alright!" Ryota replied
"And that hedgehog... He's the one called "The Ultimate Life-Form!" Chiaki said
Kazuo played the next episode without hesitation.
I've finally got it done! I'm sorry that I took so long to finish it. My life has been a pain for me, especially when Cartoon Network studios has been shut down and it's permanently gone, all thanks to David Zaslav, who decide to merge Cartoon Network with Warner Bros. Studios. I was blown away for when I heard the news and I cannot help but feel stress out, and I wasn't in the mood to do some writing, so I needed some time to myself before I felt better. I grew up by watching my childhood shows, including Ben 10, Ed, Edd n' Eddy,
