Arion Sherwind Vs Jotaro Kujo

#### (Inazuma Eleven Vs JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

* Two male school student main characters from long running animes with unknown father figures
* Due to the nature of their series, they weren't the first main character in their own series as they are technically a part of a sequel series (Stardust Crusaders and Inazuma Eleven: Go)
* Both meet the previous main character who is much older and more experienced than when he last saw him, and help to train up Jotaro and Arion (Joseph Joestar and Mark Evans)
* Both are part of a great team with similar, yet different powers to them (The Stardust Crusaders and Raimon)
* They both have access to a power that acts very similarly (Stands and Fighting Spirit) -- Stands and Fighting spirits are both physical manifestations of the users fighting spirit, usually materialising in a big ghost like figure behind them, who despite being separated entities and having specific powers of their own are still technically the character that uses them. They are so powerful that not only can only certain people use them, but the only known way to take them down is through use of another stand/fighting spirit. Despite their powerfulness, they were unexplainably not in the previous parts of both series
* Their first fight is against a fire stand/fighting spirit user, who despite brawling at first go on to join the team the main character is on and become great friends with them (Avdol And Victor). These two people also have a history with the main antagonist, but contrast in this (Avdol ran away from DIO while victor worked under Zabel)
* Both aim to take down a villain who was a prevalent character in the previous parts of the story (DIO and Alex Zabel). These two antagonists minorly changed their names from when we last saw them.

* They both have two best friends who are also stand users/fighting spirit users who are both French and named Jean Pierre (Jean Pierre Polnareff and Jean Pierre Lapin)
* Both are known amongst their pears for their great skill and insane willpower and resolve

Izuku Midoriya Vs Izuru Kamukura

#### (My Hero Academia Vs Danganronpa)

* Both were born as powerless people in a world where people are populated with quirks/talent are the only ones considered matter.
* Both wished to have powers of their own but by different motives. (izuku wanted to become a pro hero to help people with a smile while hajime wanted a talent for a selfish reason so that he would be someone that mattered)
* Both had a friend who they had a strong connection to who was a prodigy with a Quirk/Talent that made them feel worse about themselves. (katsuki bakugou and chiaki nanami difference being between friends is that bakugo was a bully who actively tried to make Izuku miserable while Chiaki was a good friend who tried to make Hajime feel better)
* Both would be given the chance to receive these abilities along with a title they would inherit. (symbol of hope and the ultimate hope) Both would obtain the power they wished for from some of the most important people in their world due to their dedication of who they want to be (all might and the first izuru kamukura)
* The power they inherit is the most powerful in their worlds and allows for multiple powers/abilities from other people. (One for All granted the power of the previous users as well as their Quirks and The Ultimate Hope Talent granted the Talents of the previous Ultimates)
* The powers they obtained allowed them to take on new identities for different reasons. (Izuku became Deku because it represents him being his own person and hajime became izuru due to hajime losing his identity to become someone else)

* Both their stories would eventually come to an era where their society has fallen into chaos (The fall of the Hero Society and The Tragedy)
* Both are eventually returned to the versions of themselves who were more hopeful and are considered to be the good versions of themselves. (Izuku returned to UA and stopped being a lone vigilante and Izuru went through the Neo World Program and became Hajime again)
* This change is partially thanks to the heroine/love interest of their story helping them. (ochako uraraka and chiaki nanami)
* Both characters at their best are self-sacrificing heroes for people they barely know. (Izuku constantly break bones for the sake of others and Hajime framed himself as the mastermind for the Final Killing Game)
* Both also have an antagonist who was thought to have been defeated by someone else, only for it to later be revealed that they have a plan involving them taking over other people, but will inevitably do battle with the protagonist. (All Might defeated All for One, who's trying to take over Shigaraki, but will ultimately fight Midoriya and Makoto defeated Junko, who's A.I. tried to take over the Class 77th, but will ultimately be defeated by Hajime)
Monsters, Inc

***Monsters, Inc.*** (also known as ***Monsters, Incorporated***) is a 2001 American animated comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. Featuring the voices of John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Steve Buscemi, James Coburn, Mary Gibbs and Jennifer Tilly, the film was directed by Pete Docter and co-directed by Lee Unkrich and David Silverman (in Docter and Silverman's feature directorial debuts), produced by Darla K. Anderson, and written by Andrew Stanton and Daniel Gerson, based on a story conceived by Docter, Ralph Eggleston, Jeff Pidgeon, and Jill Culton. The film centers on two monsters, the hairy James P. "Sulley" Sullivan (Goodman) and his one-eyed partner and best friend Mike Wazowski (Crystal), who are employed at the titular energy-producing factory *Monsters, Inc.*, which generates power by scaring human children. However, the monster world believes that the children are toxic, and when a little human girl Boo (Gibbs) sneaks into the factory, she must be returned home before it is too late.

Docter conceived *Monsters, Inc.* during a lunch in 1994 attended during the near completion of *Toy Story* (1995), and began developing the film in 1996, writing the story with Culton, Pidgeon, and Eggleston. Stanton and Gerson then developed the story into the screenplay, keeping most of the original aspects while also adding in some new material. The characters went through many incarnations over the film's five-year production process. The technical team and animators found new ways to simulate fur and cloth realistically for the film. Randy Newman, who composed the music for Pixar's three prior films, returned to compose the score for its fourth.

The Batter travels through four bizarre Zones in the world, revealing more about the world as the game goes on.
Infinity Ultron Vs Heaven Ascension DIO

#### (Marvel: What If? Vs JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven)

* Both are alternate versions of egotistical, theatrical villains with god complexes.
* These versions of the villains succeeded where their main counterpart failed, managing to kill the team of heroes trying to stop them from completing their goal (The Avengers and Stardust Crusaders).
* They then collect a set of items (the Infinity Stones and the souls of 36 Sinners) which they got thanks to a purple villain of a future storyline that normally wields this power (Thanos and Pucci).
* These items transform the villain, giving them the godlike ability to overwrite reality.
* This ability gives them many powers such as changing the world to what they deem fit, increase their own strength, resurrect the dead, remove people from existence, manipulate time, and traverse different universes.
* After drastically changing their own universe, they become aware of other universes thanks to a strange visitor (The Watcher and Valentine).
* They see this as the opportunity to expand their conquest to the entire multiverse. The visitor is horrified by this, so they fight the villain throughout different universes, but loses.
* Since they aren’t able to stop the villain by themself, they choose to assist a new team consisting of heroes from different worlds and times (Guardians of the Multiverse and the Joestar Family).
* This team is finally able to take this massive threat down, mostly thanks to one team member with a power similar to the villain (Strange Supreme and Jotaro).
Aang Vs Shigeo Kageyama

* They are both pacifist in nature and prefer not to fight, despite that they have a transformation that makes them bloodlusted and also makes them the strongest in the verse (The Avatar State and ???%)
* Due to their nature, they end up turning some villains into friends
* One of these people has an evil father who leads a large group of people, hellbent on world domination (Ozai, head of the fire nation and Toichiro, head of the terrorist organisation known as Claw)
* They are both presented with one option to defeat the main antagonist, killing them. However, they are able to make another way out that doesn't kill them - by absorbing their powers out of them

### Fight Potential

This is already fun in concept, with bending vs psychic powers. But an important thing to highlight is their fighting styles. Aang is much better in hand to hand combat than Shigeo, while shigeo relies on pure power. So Aang would land more hits while Mob's hits would deal more damage. Eventually, mob would go 100% and dominate base aang, only for aang to use his avatar state to then overpower mob - bringing out ???%. You can also have a moment where aang tries to take mob's powers, only to realize mob is doing the same. If you have mob win, you can make the death pretty brutal with ???% being completely nuts, but if you have Aang win, you could have Mob go into his astral form and try enter aang's mind - only for him to be met with all of the avatars across history, requiring him to fight them all at once only to lose.
Dragon Ball

***Dragon Ball*** (Japanese: ドラゴンボール, Hepburn: *Doragon Bōru*) is a Japanese media franchise created by Akira Toriyama in 1984. The initial manga, written and illustrated by Toriyama, was serialized in *Weekly Shōnen Jump* from 1984 to 1995, with the 519 individual chapters collected into 42 *tankōbon* volumes by its publisher Shueisha. *Dragon Ball* was originally inspired by the classical 16th-century Chinese novel *Journey to the West*, combined with elements of Hong Kong martial arts films. *Dragon Ball* characters also use a variety of East Asian martial arts styles, including karate and Wing Chun (kung fu). The series follows the adventures of protagonist Son Goku from his childhood through adulthood as he trains in martial arts. He spends his childhood far from civilization until he meets a teen girl named Bulma, who encourages him to join her quest in exploring the world in search of the seven orbs known as the Dragon Balls, which summon a wish-granting dragon when gathered. Along his journey, Goku makes several other friends, becomes a family man, discovers his alien heritage, and battles a wide variety of villains, many of whom also seek the Dragon Balls.
Ghost Rider

## Ghost Rider (Marvel Comics)

**Ghost Rider** is the name of multiple superheroes or antiheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Marvel had previously used the name for a Western character whose name was later changed to Phantom Rider.

The first supernatural Ghost Rider is stunt motorcyclist **Johnny Blaze**, who, to save the life of his foster father, agrees to give his soul to "Satan" (later revealed to be an arch-demon named Mephisto). At night and when around evil, Blaze finds his flesh consumed by hellfire, causing his head to become a flaming skull. He rides a fiery motorcycle and wields blasts of hellfire from his body, usually from his skeletal hands. He eventually learns he has been bonded with the demon Zarathos. Blaze is featured in the series *Ghost Rider* (vol. 2) from 1972 to 1983.

The subsequent *Ghost Rider* series (1990–1998) features **Danny Ketch** as a new Ghost Rider. After his sister was injured by ninja gangsters, Ketch comes in contact with a motorcycle that contains the essence of a Spirit of Vengeance. Blaze reappears in this 1990s series as a supporting character, and it is later revealed that Danny and his sister were Johnny Blaze's long-lost siblings. In 2000s comics, Blaze succeeds Ketch, becoming Ghost Rider again. In 2014, **Robbie Reyes** becomes Ghost Rider as part of the Marvel NOW! initiative.

In May 2011, Ghost Rider placed 90th on IGN's "Top 100 Comic Book Heroes" list. Nicolas Cage starred as the Johnny Blaze incarnation of the character in the 2007 film *Ghost Rider* and its 2012 sequel, *Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance*. Gabriel Luna and Tom McComas portray the Robbie Reyes and Johnny Blaze incarnations in the fourth season of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) television series *Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.*, with Henry Simmons and Clark Gregg portraying original incarnations **Alphonso Mackenzie** and **Phil Coulson**.

Doma

## Doma (Demon Slayer)

Doma is a member of the Twelve Kizuki, formerly holding the position of **Upper Rank Six** and currently holding the position of **Upper Rank Two**. He is the misanthropic cult leader of the Eternal Paradise Cult and is responsible for the deaths of Inosuke Hashibira's mother, Kotoha Hashibira, and Kanae Kocho, the elder sister of Shinobu Kocho (who Doma also kills), and the adoptive older sister of Kanao Tsuyuri. As a result, he arguably serves as the archenemy of Shinobu, Kanao, and Inosuke.

Izuku Midoriya Vs Kamala Khan

#### (My Hero Academia Vs Marvel Comics)

* Both were just normal powerless kids living normal average life with very few friends and parents that really worried about their well being.
* They live in a society full of superheroes. They are absolute fanboys/fangirls of these superheroes, buying their merchandise, rambling on about them, and writing about them all the time.
* The hero they idolize the most is a red and blue clad, blonde superhero that is one of the strongest in their world and fills them with hope (All Might and Captain Marvel).
* They grew up with the dream of becoming like their inspirations, a symbol and inspiration for whole generations, though this seemed impossible due to their status in society.
* During a particularly low point of their life after being bullied by a blonde classmate (Bakugo and Zoe Zimmer), they by chance walk into something that forcibly went inside them (a blob villain forcing itself into Deku and a Terrigen mist cloud went over Kamala).
* While this event was at first traumatizing, it ended up being the best thing that could have happened to them. They meet face to face with their idol (though for Kamala it was a vision) and it became their first step to becoming a full on superhero like they always dreamed. The blonde bully also ends up being the first people they save.
* To awaken their powers, they had to consume something that would be considered fatal to others (All Might’s hair and the Terrigen mist) that contains an ancient power that remained dormant under society’s nose for years (One for All and Inhuman DNA).
* They wear a home made superhero costume that references their idol (Ms Marvel’s symbol & scarf referencing Carol and Deku’s mask referencing All Might).
* They both started off as complete amateurs even by the standards of their peers (Deku breaking his body with a single punch and Kamala regularly being way over her head & making wrong calls).
* But they quickly started gathering super powered teenage friends, forming a group that helps those in need as well as supporting friends going through a rough patch (Class 1-A and the Champions).
* These heroes are under the tutelage of a darker and grounded hero (Aizawa and Black Widow) who contrasts the bright and powerful hero the protagonist idolizes.
* Overtime they become more skilled and climb the hero ladder, meeting some of the other heroes they idolize in the process, with a promise that someday they would be as big as them.
* Both have to fight against a terrorist organization that wants to take down the current superhero society (the League of Villains and Lineage’s gang) lead by a prideful mob boss who’s abilities date back to the beginning of superhumans (All for One having one of the first quirks & having the ability to steal quirks and Lineage containing the conciseness of all those in his bloodline including the first Inhumans).
* Both have storylines (World Heroes’ Mission and Outlawed) where they are deemed as criminals by the law and have to fight to clear their name while taking down an evil organization (Humarise and CRADLE) with the help of their teammates.
Eren Yeager

## Eren Yeager (Attack On Titan)

**Eren Yeager** (Japanese: エレン・イェーガー, Hepburn: *Eren Yēgā*), also spelled **Eren Jaeger** (Turkish: Eren, "Saint"; German: Jaeger/Jäger, "Hunter"), is the protagonist of the *Attack on Titan* manga series created by Hajime Isayama. Eren is a teenager who swears revenge on enormous man-eating humanoid creatures known as Titans, who have forced what remains of the human race to live in walled off cities and devoured his mother while destroying his home town in the Shiganshina district of Wall Maria. In order to defeat the Titans, Eren enlists in the Military and joins the Survey Corps—an elite group of soldiers who fight Titans outside the walls and also study the physiology of Titans in order to know what they are fighting. As the story progresses, Eren gains the power of becoming a Titan later identified as "Attack Titan" (進撃の巨人, *Shingeki no Kyojin*). He has also appeared in other related media including anime and video games.

Isayama created Eren with the idea of a character whose fears and dreams were relatable but often clashed with his own darkness, resulting into multiple changes to his characterization. In the anime adaptation of the series, Eren has been voiced by Yūki Kaji in Japanese and Bryce Papenbrook in English. Both of these actors found difficulties in employing different types of voices based on how Eren grows up across the narrative. In the live-action film adaptations, he is portrayed by Haruma Miura.

Critical reception to Eren was initially polarized, finding him too antagonistic and harsh for his age. Positive comments focused on the character's ideals and newfound powers as a Titan as well as his character arc. Reception has become more positive in later arcs of the manga and anime as he becomes a more ambiguous rather than heroic character, evidenced in the 6th Crunchyroll Anime Awards where Eren was nominated for "Best Protagonist" and "Best Antagonist" simultaneously, and went on to win in the latter category. The character has proven popular within the *Attack on Titan* fanbase, while his voice actors Kaji and Papenbrook received praise for their portrayals of the character.

* In the end they would succeed in their plans but still end up dying (Pucci after resetting the universe being killed by Empiro and Cyrus having Dialga and Palkia create him a universe but they'd have that universe collapse in on its self killing Cyrus. Or in Platinum have Cyrus go into the distortion world and have it be his new universe but Giratina would eat him).
* And instead of doing the plan by themself they'd have help from many people and have a main trio fight off the main cast (Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. And DIO's three sons).
Godzilla Vs Gamera

* They are both iconic reptilian kaiju who originated from black-and-white films.
* Both have the ability to breathe out a form of energy as their signature attack (the Atomic Breath which fires radiation and the Fire Breath which fires plasma, respectively) and possess enough destructive power to threaten mankind, but instead chose to defend them against other kaiju.
* Both are also prehistoric animals who laid dormant for a long period of time (Godzilla is a prehistoric sea monster who laid dormant underwater, while Gamera is a gigantic prehistoric tortoise frozen in ice) before being awakened by nuclear bombs due to the Americans (Godzilla was awoken by American hydrogen bomb tests, while Gamera was freed from ice after an aircraft carrying an atomic bomb was shot down by an American jet fighter and exploded) and being exposed to its radiation, which gave them powers as a result.
* Additionally, Gamera was heavily inspired by Godzilla as he was created to rival Toho's Godzilla franchise, with his name having a similar suffix shared by other kaiju characters, such as Godzilla himself (Gojira) and Mothra (Mosura).
* The two had previously crossed over officially in the stage show Godzilla vs. Gamera at the 1970 Osaka World's Fair.

Ghetsis Vs Monaca Towa

#### (Pokémon Vs Danganronpa)

* Green haired leaders to villainous groups dedicated to ending the abuse of Pokémon/children at the hands of trainers/adults and create a world where they can be free and happy, utilising underlings that were conditioned to genuinely believe in their cause due to their upbringing and Ghetsis and Monaca's emotional manipulation (N and the Warriors of Hope respectively), alongside the other underlings under their thumb (Team Plasma and the Monokids).
* The plan they proposed was merely a rouse though, as their true intention was something far more sinister (Ghetsis' plan being for trainers to release their Pokémon so nobody could oppose his quest for world domination, Monaca's plan being to become Junko Enoshima's successor and plunge the world into despair), and their personalities being far more cruel and conniving to boot.
* Both also command/control other entities to fight for them (Ghetsis' team of Pokémon, Monaca's Monokuma Units).
* There is also a contrast in how Ghetsis's treatment of N mirrors what Junko did to Monaca- grooming them into becoming the perfect pawns to carry out their plans, with Ghetsis taking an orphaned N in and isolating him from the world to warp his perspective of trainers, while Junko took Monaca in after years of abuse from her family and showed her the closest thing to kindness she ever experienced and turn her toward the side of despair).
* Ghetsis and Monaca are essentially the exact thing the other hate- for Ghetsis, Monaca is just another warped, defective child standing in his way, while for Monaca, Ghetsis is an adult that treated his child like filth and abused him for his own satisfaction, and thus would be a prime target for the Warriors of Hope to go after.

### Fight Potential

Aoi Todo Vs Jotaro Kujo

* They are both teamed up against by the group of “heroes” which contrast (Speedwagon was the only good person who was actually against Santana as the rest of them were nazi’s - While everyone who fought dagon bar Naobito were actually good people)
* They both seemed weak in the eyes of their opponents before revealing their true power and destroying them all with their fight feeling like the “heroes” are only just getting by
* They deal significant damage to their only opponent who lives (Strohiem having to become a cyborg to live and Maki still having scars to this day from her fight with Dagon)

* They both kill their siblings who have different last names form them (Mukuro Ikusaba And Jonathan Joestar) in contrasting ways, As Jonathan and DIO never got along, while Mukuro kept on wanting to please junko and was ultimately betrayed). They also have a contrast with Mukuro pretending to be Junko at the start of danganronpa 1 and DIO literally taking over Jonathan's body after their battle.
* Due to how they are seen as godlike, parts of their bodies were taken and treasured by their followers after their deaths.
* Both make a semi-return in a new story, where another character emulates them to some extent (Tsumugi and Deigo).
* Both have a sadistic level of enjoyment when it comes to allowing their opponents to struggle against them, only to fail - but that ultimately causes their downfall in the end.
* Both are known to manipulate and completely change their emotions on a whim (Junko just being a psycho and DIO trying to manipulate Jonathan and Speedwagon into thinking he was sorry for trying to poison jonathan's father)

#### (Deadman Wonderland Vs JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

* They were accused of a crime they didn't commit and so were sent to a special (and might I add incredibly corrupt) prison that housed several people with supernatural powers.
* There's also the fact that their similarly long ranged powers directly can manifest and come from their bodies (Jolyne's whole string thingy/Ganta's blood manipulation from his branch of sin), though they also wager a major risk of self-harm simultaneously if overused.
* They both fight both prisoners and officers in the prison that have the same ability they do (Stand/Blood abilities from Shiro), their abilities originate from an object handed down by their parents (Stand Arrow/Red Diamond made by Ganta's mother), and a high-ranking staff member of the prison is responsible for their imprisonment as well as framing them.

* They also are the first person of their trio of friends to be sorcerers/devil hunters

Ben Tennyson Vs Hal Jordan

#### (Ben 10 Vs DC Comics)

* They are both human heroes with a green aesthetic whose powers came from a mysterious, green device which crashed from space and attached itself to their hand, giving them a massive variety of powers (Ben wields the Omnitrix, which allows him to shapeshift into any alien, and Hal wields a Green Lantern Ring, which allows him to create constructs of anything he imagines), turning them into heroes who help humans and aliens across the universe while fighting villainous aliens.
* Both were recruited into universe-spanning crime-fighting organizations composed of a multitude of aliens with a green insignia (the Plumbers and the Green Lantern Corps, respectively).
* Both of their devices draw their powers from planetary sources (the Codon Stream on Primus and the Central Power Battery of Oa, respectively), and both devices are made from wise, old aliens diminutive in stature who wish to spread peace among their respective universes (Azmuth and the Guardians of the Universe, respectively).
* Additionally, both characters have infamous feats of recreating their respective universes (Ben used Alien X's powers to recreate his universe following the Annihilargh's detonation in Ben 10: Omniverse, and Hal was going to remake the New Earth universe in his image before being stopped in the Zero Hour: Crisis in Time storyline).
* Ben has had a crossover with the Super Friends before in a Cartoon Network TV spot, but he did not meet Green Lantern.

Giorno Giovanna

## Giorno Giovanna (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

**Giorno Giovanna** (Japanese: ジョルノ・ジョバァーナ, Hepburn: *Joruno Jobāna*) is a fictional character in the Japanese manga series *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*, written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. The main protagonist of the series' fifth story arc, *Golden Wind*, he was born **Haruno Shiobana** (汐華 初流乃, *Shiobana Haruno*), the illegitimate son of Dio Brando while possessing Jonathan Joestar's body. After saving an unknown mafia member in his childhood, Giorno dreams of joining the Italian mafia gang Passione to overthrow its boss, Diavolo, who keeps a very low profile, and close the drug trade, desiring to help the innocent. Joining Bruno Bucciarati and his team, they go on a mission to send Trish Una to her father, the boss of Passione. Giorno possesses a Stand known as *Gold Experience* (ゴールド・エクスペリエンス, *Gōrudo Ekusuperiensu*), whose primary abilities are to give life to nonliving things, which is mostly used to turn inorganic objects into living organisms, and creating body parts, acting as a healing ability.

Araki found it difficult to find the familial ties of the protagonist of *Golden Wind*, before deciding to have Giorno be the son of Dio who has Joestar blood. While Giorno is the main character of Golden Wind, Araki's difficulty in writing the team in Golden Wind eventually progresses to him making the entire team protagonists. He was voiced by Romi Park in *GioGio's Bizarre Adventure*, Daisuke Namikawa in *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle* and *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven*, and Kensho Ono and Phillip Reich in the anime adaptation of *Golden Wind* in Japanese and in English, with the former being his current Japanese voice actor since then. Critical reception of Giorno has been mixed, with some critics considering the premise of Giorno having the blood of Dio and a Joestar as intriguing and praising his personality, with his beatdown against Cioccolata as a particular highlight, while others find him bland due to lacking independent moments that help him stand out on his own.

* Megumi Fushiguro (Jujutsu Kaisen)
