Ethereal Madness Character Elimination 32: Clash of the Century

Ethereal Madness Character Elimination 32: Clash of the Century was the 32nd episode of Ethereal Madness Character Elimination. This episode is considered to be one of the best episodes ever made by the Creator.

## Synopsis

In the hosts' room, John Cena was broadcasting to China in Chinese about how much he loved ice cream when White Mage showed up and wasn't pleased with Cena's antics. Soon after, Ned Leeds got eliminated. After that, White Mage announced the next challenge, which was a laser tag challenge in northern Alaska. During the challenge, Dominic Toretto, during a conversation with his buddies Dr. Eggman, Bully Maguire, and Palpatine, expressed disgust in how successful the NBA players were and showed interest in killing them off just so they could be stopped. Dr. Eggman proposed that he will summon a Death Egg while the others would capture the NBA players and bring them to him. Then, Dr. Eggman would kill off the NBA players. This plan was approved by Dr. Eggman's buddies.

The group of friends captured the NBA players and brought them to Dr. Eggman, who readied his Death Egg to kill them off. However, White Mage and Amber showed up and confronted Dr. Eggman and his friends for trying to kill off the NBA players. Bully Maguire responded by killing off White Mage while Dr. Eggman killed off Amber. This greatly enraged Iron Man, prompting him to bring his friends MCU Spider-Man, Dr. Octopus, and Electro to confront Dr. Eggman's group. Their decision to help out the NBA players greatly enraged Toretto, who declared war on them and the NBA players. Electro mocked Toretto's declaration while Giannis Antetokounmpo summoned the Power of Akumpo and grew to 84 feet tall, prompting Giannis to declare war on Dr. Eggman's group. This prompted a massive brawl to break out in northern Alaska.

At the start of the fight, however, Iron Man took Kristaps Porzingis to the former's secret base and worked on building new suits of armor that would greatly benefit both of them during fights, much to Porzingis' satisfaction.

Palpatine fired a continuous barrage of lightning into Yao Ming, with the latter having trouble moving due to the electrocution. However, Dr. Octopus and MCU Spider-Man would grab onto Palpatine right when Palpatine temporarily stopped his lightning attack. Palpatine ordered them to let go of him, but they refused. When Electro arrived, he fired lightning into Palpatine as Dr. Octopus and MCU Spider-Man were trying to pull him apart. This was successful, as Palpatine ended up getting split into two. Yao Ming thanked them for their actions. MCU Spider-Man, angered over Ned's elimination, decided to confront and kill Bully Maguire.

Luka Doncic taunted Toretto that the latter and his friends were going to get embarrassed, enraging Toretto to the point where he knocked out Luka Doncic and stated that he had family. Electro and Dr. Octopus confronted Toretto and attempted to attack him, but their attacks failed to do any damage because of Toretto's ability to defy the laws of physics. However, Iron Man, in his new suit of armor, would arrive and kill off Toretto by firing a powerful bolt of lightning from his arc reactor.

Giannis taunted Dr. Eggman by stating that the latter booked a one-way ticket to hell and then called him "Dr. Dumb-Man". The two giants got into a fight, with Giannis initially gaining the upper hand after the two traded punches and kicks. Giannis called Dr. Eggman "weak", which annoyed Dr. Eggman. Dr. Eggman proceeded to stomp on Giannis and then hurled him away. However, Giannis got back up and then charged right into Dr. Eggman, knocking the latter into the air and causing him to impact the ground at a high velocity, resulting in the destruction of his Death Egg and his death.

Bully Maguire mocked MCU Spider-Man and then slapped him, knocking him away. However, Porzingis, with his new suit of armor gifted to him by Iron Man, shoved Bully Maguire from behind and knocked him to the ground. After Porzingis stated that Bully Maguire and the latter's friends would pay for killing the hostesses, an enraged Bully Maguire attacked Porzingis and ordered him to shut up, but Porzingis punched him and caused Bully Maguire to hit a nearby lamppost, injuring Bully Maguire's back. Porzingis would attack Bully Maguire again and knock him to the ground before Bully Maguire countered another of Porzingis' attacks. However, Porzingis would throw Bully Maguire into the lamppost, causing it to break and send the lantern into Bully Maguire's neck, killing him.

Later, Porzingis and a recovered Doncic would reunite and the two decided to get their allies to party in a river to celebrate their victory. However, Rosalina, the only surviving hostess, and Ninja, who was called in as an emergency host after the deaths of White Mage and Amber, arrived and ended the challenge. Ninja decided to have everyone involved in the brawl face elimination while those who played major roles in the fight would be penalized. Dr. Eggman and Bully Maguire received the biggest penalties.

## Legacy

### Immediate aftermath

Bully Maguire and Dr. Eggman got eliminated the next episode, with Dr. Eggman setting a new record for most elimination votes received. Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis and Giannis Antetokounmpo received the prize, which was immunity. With Rosalina having depression and being unable to revive the hosts, Ninja, the emergency host, had the contestants collect Lumas to snap Rosalina out of her depression. Ultimately, this worked, and Rosalina would be able to revive the dead hosts. Ninja would subsequently leave the season and prepare for Crazy Antics Character Elimination, the season following this season. Ultimately, Giannis won with Porzingis as the runner-up.

## Trivia

At the time of the episode's release in June 2022, it was the longest episode in the history of the Creator's character elimination seasons at over 10 minutes long. It would later be surpassed by Episode 28 of Winner's War in July 2023.

This episode is also currently the longest character elimination episode to not have a remastered version, as Episode 34 of Character Elimination: Superstars and the aforementioned Episode 28 of Winner's War were both longer at 20+ minutes each, yet both of those episodes have remastered versions.

LeBron James, a combatant in both Episode 28 of Winner's War and Episode 34 of Character Elimination: Superstars, participated in Ethereal Madness Character Elimination but was eliminated the episode before this one, hence his absence from this episode.
