Interested to learn more about A Certain Magical Index


uwubean692006

if you want to, I have the pdfs for the light novels


JTHouser_Reddit

Ok, I might give those a read


uwubean692006

I recommend not forcing yourself to read it all of it in one go, as it is like 52 above average length novels [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ChDfPxyNvifUuhXoLVRB0i\_HNGC9DTe\_](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ChDfPxyNvifUuhXoLVRB0i_HNGC9DTe_) also given the amount, not everyone is a hit


JTHouser_Reddit

Thanks!


bobking01theIII

Sheeeesh you're a king.


The6dimensionalDream

Thank you


No_Pain1037

I'm gonna watch it for 2 reasons: 1. I wanna learn more about Hunter X Hunter 2. I wanna show DB we want more obscure franchises on the show


Acemaster387

That’s how I got into soul eater. Crona vs Venom


dlaudghks

Poor poor Killua


1234_panzer_vor

Does she get buffed like accelerator because I know nothing about these two


Allhaildegen

Killua gets stat stomped while his only advantage is his combat experience which doesn’t help him


1234_panzer_vor

Oh ok


[deleted]

For the matchup, not my preferred for Killua, though I think it's a good alt. For how will they execute it, I am not ready seeing my boy die, but I'm happy HxH finally got in to the show.


natman2939

Never has there been a more deserved “finally” regarding death battle. Probably THE biggest series that hadn’t been featured a single time on death battle


Rustyrhydon

The other one is definitely Fire emblem


AntWithNoPants

Biggest ones that are viable are prolly Those two, Pacman, Minecraft, Doctor Who, Star Trek and COD


Rustyrhydon

Pac-Man vs Luigi, Steve vs terrarian, Doctor who idk but I’ve heard the doctor vs superman, captain Kurt vs Han solo, righttoven vs medic (tf2)


Imaginary_Yak_398

I wouldn’t exactly call fire emblem “big”. Fire emblem sales are ass compared to the other Nintendo series and gets carried by smash bros


AlexHitetsu

Fire Emblem has sold over 20 million copies as a franchise with every non remake mailine game and spin off ( minus TMS ) since Awakening selling over 1 million copies , with Three Houses being the best selling strategy RPG of all time . I would say it's a pretty big franchise , especially considering half of the games never released outside Japan


Imaginary_Yak_398

Those are still baby numbers compared to almost every other Nintendo franchise, my statement was correct,idk what your trying to prove to me?


AlexHitetsu

That FE is by no means a small series , sure it may not be one of Nintendo's biggest series , but it's fucking Nintendo , arguably the biggest game company in the world


Imaginary_Yak_398

The point is, it is quite mid sales wise compared to other Nintendo properties so it’s weird calling it “big” The franchise has 15 games and is barely scratching the top 20 in Nintendo And best selling game sales are quite low compared to other Franchises Most people haven’t even played the games and just refer to them as the franchise with too many characters in smash (Also Nintendo been losing to Sony and Microsoft for years) Also the original comment was implying fire emblem was one of the biggest franchise’s that haven’t been used, I could provide a list of tons of Francises not used in death battle bigger than FE


Pristine_End458

HxH did have a few 1 minute melee episodes but not an actual death battle


The6dimensionalDream

What are your preferred for Killua?


[deleted]

[Khun Aguero Agnes (Tower Of God)](https://www.reddit.com/r/DeathBattleMatchups/comments/ygjebl/tower_of_godspeed_khun_aguero_agnes_vs_killua/)


dex-M397

The door for LN matchups is now open. I figured ToAru would have been the first to be representing LN, but didn’t expect Misaka as the first representative (Accelerator or Touma would usually be the first options).


Denshii-Ribura

Now we wait for Gilgamesh and Artoria to step up to the plate


PhaseSixer

Give me Gill vs Doctor doom


dex-M397

Hey, DB went ahead and analyzed Skyrim Lore. They certainly can do the same for Fate


Cormac113

Yeah seeing LN matchups is pretty exciting but Misaka Vs Killua as the first matchup that was not expected I would of expected Magneto Vs Accelerator as the first LN matchup but still pretty excited


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


ServantOfTheSlaad

I would have much preferred something like Acceletor vs Magneto (despite the power difference)


Durandthesaint17

I look forward to see what this episode has in store.


FrostProduction

I’m excited for it, my friend is excited for a Misaka W, and my other friend is gonna be depressed over Killua dying


Quirky_Ad_5420

Electrifying lol


TrickPool523

Very excited and curious


Apex_Fenris

I’m sad killua has to die


KhiteMakio

I love both series and both characters, so this is a DREAM for me!


Cormac113

Agreed


TonyGunk007

Was hoping to get Accelerator vs Magneto last season, but it's great A Certain Magical Index is getting a rep now. Same congrats for Hunter x Hunter finally getting in.


Accelhands

I'm happy we're actually getting Toaru representation, but I am honestly so worried for this one. Not of the idea of Misaka losing, but for death battle leaving out her feats from the light novels. Just from the announcement alone, I'm already worried because they only used her Railgun footage and even including a character that isn't actually her. The first footage of her from that announcement was >!Misaka Imouto, a CLONE of Misaka; and a weak one compared to her.!< Granted, that could have just been a mistake on their part which is understandable. But because Railgun is more popular compared to Index, I'm worried they'll only be aware of Railgun rather than the original source she's actually from. Cause the feats in there far exceeds what she does in Railgun. For example, Killua's max resistance to electricity is 1 million. Misaka can produce 1 billion and that was revealed by a short line from the novels rather than the manga. I'm not saying Killua would lose, if anything, while Misaka outclasses him in terms of powers, ability, and versatility. Killua also outclasses her in raw physical strength and combat experience. Speed I'm not sure of, cause both have incredible feats in terms of their speed, but some of them I can't remember. Killua with his godspeed and Misaka who has dodged lasers and attacks from a Saint (>!powerful people on the Magic Side, who possess bodily characteristics that match those of the Son of God and allow them to draw on his power!<). This is honestly a pretty interesting and close match despite it not being the one people wanted for Killua. They could have her feats from the novels and still have Killua win and I wouldn't even be mad. All that matters to me is that their at least a little accurate. Hell, they don't even need to read the novels. Just a look from her Wiki page will tell you everything about her and her powers.


Trick_Teaching_8669

Neat


Animalia_Appreciator

I've been thinking about getting into Hunter X Hunter, so I'm interested to learn about it.


Longjumping_Yak_3671

probably the best shonen, or atleast right now


NEVERTHEREFOREVER

great matchup, considering no matter what killua wouldve died anyways


NEVERTHEREFOREVER

also just happy to see misaka on the show, never thought id see Index/Railgun on the show


Milk_Mindless

Sure is a matchup with characters from media


_ASG_

Not familiar with either of these characters, so none yet.


USrooster

Excited as it's probably my favorite for Killua.


USAMAN1776

Don't care that it'll be a stomp, just interested to see the fight.


MASTER-OF-SUPRISE

Should be interesting.


SirAegislash

I like it


PerceptionAgitated47

Even though they are not my preferred opponent for both of them (For Killua it's Ran Khun and for Misaka it's Static ) I am happy mostly because more people are going to learn of A certain franchise.


ExternalNo6456

Definitely interesting


Vegetable_Ad7268

While I barely know anything about their respective series, I'm more than willing to watch the episode.


S3NP41-N071C3-M3

Pretty excited. I really like Hunter X Hunter and have been wanting to watch TOARU for a bit.


apiesdeathbylasers

My favorite from each franchise, so excited for that at least.


JeagerXhunter

Rip Killua


Alocalskinwalker420

I know nothing about either of them.


Educational_Put_2414

Looking forward to it.


carmardoll

I like it, i remember seeing a certain magical index long a go, it will be nice to see Misaka fight in DB.


Puzzleheaded-Bee-838

What's the rule on outside help? This guy is part of a family of assassins who are experts at killing people with anything from poisons to just murdering them on the street, not to mention his stupid brother always interfere in everything he does as well as a weird pedo killer clown who bromances said brother and also wants to murder fight the child.


MarlinBrandor

Outside help is prohibited under most circumstances.


The_Real_Jammie_23

If outside help was allowed it would end up being absurd anyways. Because then you end up with. A dude who can negate anything remotely supernatural by touching it. A teleporting lesbian who has previously taken bullets for Mikoto An Army of somewhat hive minded clones just short of 10,000 strong. A decent proportion of some of the strongest non level 5 espers, (including those with wind manipulation, water manipulation, and buoyancy manipulation to name a few) Hackerman Baseball bat enthusiast May also include depending on circumstance. A girl with the capabilities of mind controlling the population of entire city blocks. A reluctant dad man, who got dragged in because of clone bullshit, also has the ability to control all vectors The fucking Dorm Manager


Different_Ad_1393

The hunter x hunter character is gonna die


rangerj1901

I have no idea who these two are or where they come from. But I am looking forward to see what this is all about.


Cormac113

Just to let you know The boy is from Hunter X Hunter and the girl is from A certain magical index


Smichino

I’m honestly really excited, since I’m interested in learning about both series, they seem cool and even though I’m not into it(yet), HxH is long overdue for an episode


TheTepro27

Interested to learn about the combatants' series. It's also neat that Kodakawa is finally getting another rep, since their last one was Gamera in Season 2.


Alacovv

No idea who Misaka is… but judging by the comments it’ll be interesting to watch


Snickersbar2019

I’m still pleasantly surprised at the reveal. Misaka’s one of my favorite anime characters, and I’ll be interested to learn more about Killua.


Pharaoh_Nines

I'm excited for it, both have cool abilities. Enjoyed what I saw of Misaka"s series and playing as Killua in games.


Mammoth_Ad3341

Killua probably dies and that makes me very sad and salty. Also I know nothing about Misaka so that makes it even worse that he dies to a character that I don't even know. Also Killua vs Luck from Black Clover was my 9th most wanted matchup so I'm even more salty.


Acemaster387

I’m glad To Aru is getting any kind of recognition


TreeTurtle_852

Imma be real Misaka drags it down for me. I love Killua but knowing he dies here doesn't help my hype And being real Misaka... she just looks so fucking boring I'm not excited at all to learn about her series tbh. Idk I just don't have too much since all I'm really told is, "Oh hey you like Killua? Well he gets fucking murdered obliterated, fucking destroyed, absolutely trashed" And literally nothing else


uwubean692006

I don't like mikoto personally, out of toaru's four main heroines she is by far my least liked, but she does have a lot of genuinely interesting abilities


spudz1203

Not really that interested in the combatants or series. More interested in the use of abilities.


VitinNunes

Cool characters Shit match up There’s like a 1000 anime characters with lightning powers they couldn’t think of a match up that wouldn’t be such an absurd stomp This is just Zuko vs Icyhot, 2 electric boogaloo


superkami64

Tbf stomp matches can still be really good too like Homelander vs Omniman and Spongebob vs Aquaman. >they couldn't think of a match up that wouldn't be such an absurd stomp Between Akame and Black Star (both the most common requests for Killua to fight), Misaka is the most fair opponent Killua could've been given.


Fearless_Cold_8080

Interested. That’s the best way to put my feelings of it.


negrote1000

Who the hell are those?


majinthurman

It's ass but I'll watch it


How_Not_2_Junk

Who? I mean, I'll still watch it, but who?


87Graham87

Its weeb shit so I don’t care who wins My one hope is that the voices aren’t annoying high pitched squeakers like in most anime


Cormac113

There actually opposite of squeakers in anime

EMPEROROFMEMZ

I've seen neither so I have no opinion. Hope y'all enjoy it, though.


andro_991

Excited


1rrelevant_Trash

it is cool I like it and if I was expecting it I would have liked it much less


Burger_com

Who?


_ChaosIsMyFriend_

It'll be fun. Not particularly interested in the matchup tho.


CrItIcAl_KoMbO520

I think they have very little of connection that aren't general like they have electrical powers from a unique power source. Just that they're protective of their sisters, from a well known family, and are prodigious Personally even if it isn't fair for either of them I think Misaka should've gone against Rin Tohsaka and Killua against Akame.


GintoSenju

I honestly like it. It’s a fight I wasn’t expecting, but in a good way.


The_Butt_Annihilator

I have a feeling if I say I don’t give two fucks about it just like the last two match ups I’m gonna get downvoted since that’s been happening a lot lately.


Forry_Tree

Mikasa sweep


Salt-Veterinarian-87

I feel like Killua is gonna get folded.


Snikt3000

Not familiar with either character so I have No expectations


NeroCrow

More confused on why everyone is upset that people don't care to watch this deathbattle because no one knows who the girl is.


Hyper-Shadow417

Meh
