## Appearance

### Opponent

*You're not what I'm here for this time. If you want to die, go die on your own.*
—Ragna the Bloodedge
**Ragna the Bloodedge** is the main protagonist of the *BlazBlue* series. He appeared in the 65th episode of *DBX*, Ruby Rose VS Ragna the Bloodedge, where he fought against Ruby Rose from the *RWBY* series.

## Background

Betrayed and left to die by his own brother due to jealousy and manipulation, young Ragna was both blessed and cursed when a mysterious vampire named Rachel Alucard saved his life, resurrecting him as a Dhampir, causing one of his green eyes to turn red and his once-blonde hair to white. Unbeknownst to him, Rachel also grafted an Azure Grimoire, a piece of the infamous destroyer known as "the Black Beast", onto the stump of Ragna's severed arm. He was then trained in the ways of combat by the warrior cat, Jūbei, which helped Ragna obtain a level of control over this new appendage, further amplified when he was given his blade, The Bloodscythe. He would then run rampant on the oppressive government that ruled the world, Novus Orbis Librarium. His actions, which included destroying countless number of their branches, have labeled him the most wanted criminal and caused him to receive the largest bounty ever in the history of the NOL. His ultimate goal is to destroy the NOL, for he blames them for destroying his family. But he always takes into account what Jūbei last said to him, that he must never think of the Azure Grimoire as his own, for if he loses control of himself, it will turn him into the Black Beast itself.

—Guts
**Guts** is the main protagonist of the *Berserk* series. He appeared in the 26th episode of DBX, Cloud VS Guts, where he fought against Cloud Strife from the *Final Fanatsy* series.

## History

Born from the corpse of his hanging mother, Guts spent the majority of his life in a world of constant violence, never truly finding a place to call home. Throughout his childhood, he trained as a mercenary, and when he grew up, he was recruited into the Band of the Falcon. Befriending the founder, Griffith, and falling in love with his second-in-command, Casca, it was the first time he knew true camaraderie. But that all ended when an event called "The Eclipse" transported the entire Band of the Falcon to a hellish realm of darkness, where Griffith turned on his former comrades and became a demon lord, slaughtering each and every one of them into nothing but corpses. Guts and Casca were the only survivors, but Guts was left with an amputated arm and a gouged out eye, while a violated Casca was traumatized into a childlike mindset. Both were also branded to be tormented by demons and ghosts until their demise. Having later on formed his own band of misfits, Guts has since sworn revenge on Griffith and made it his mission to cure both Casca and himself, taking his sword in hand and struggling against his own inner beast.

## History

Serena is a Pokémon Trainer from Kalos. When she was young, she met Ash Ketchum at Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camp in Kanto. During that time, she got lost in the middle of a forest while trying to find her group. Just then, a wild Poliwag jumped out of the bushes and scared her, causing her to fall on the ground and hurt her knee. Scared and upset, she called out for her mother for help. But moments later, Ash came out of the bushes looking for Poliwag, and came across Serena. Seeing that she was hurt, he bandaged her knee up with his handkerchief and encouraged her by saying "Don't give up till it's over," before helping her out of the forest. Serena would later go back to Kalos, having kept the handerkerchief as a reminder of the day she met Ash. Years later, she would become the trainer of her own Fennekin. After seeing Ash in Kalos on TV, she would find and reunite with him, which led to them going on several life-changing journeys together.

## Trivia

### Production

* The connections between Frieza and Mewtwo are that they are both powerful, white and purple, tailed, inhuman beings with strikingly-similar designs. Both are egotistical, have energy attacks, and have multiple transformations that increase their power (Golden Frieza and Black Frieza, and Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y, respectively).
* Before Mewtwo fought Shadow the Hedgehog on Death Battle, Frieza was one of his most requested opponent, alongside Silver the Hedgehog. To address this, Ben Singer made a chart of why Mewtwo was pitted against Shadow and not Frieza or Silver, with the chart saying that the only connections between Mewtwo and Frieza are that they have similar designs.
	+ It was then later brought up in the 64th episode of DEATH BATTLE Cast, where Ben explains that they don't only choose matchups based on popularity, but also what would be the most interesting or entertaining, citing Mewtwo VS Frieza as an example of a popular matchup they didn't pick.

**Mewtwo** is a creature from the *Pokémon* series. It appeared in the 76th episode of DBX, Frieza VS Mewtwo, where it fought against Frieza from the *Dragon Ball* series.

## History

Mewtwo was the result of a horrific DNA scientific experiment by Team Rocket's top scientist. Cloned from the fossilized remains of the mythical Pokémon, Mew, Mewtwo was created to become the world's strongest Pokémon. During its early stages, the Genetic Pokémon established a psychic link with the mind of a young girl, who taught it the wonders of the world before she tragically faded away. Its memories altered and its body augmented in painful procedures, Mewtwo entered the world hurt, lost, and in anguish with no real explanation why. In its anger, Mewtwo turned on its creators and murdered everyone in the lab, making its escape. As a living creature, Mewtwo has a savage heart, and because of its altered genetics, all it can think about is defeating anything in its way, regardless of Pokémon or human.

Butterfree is a Bug/Flying-type lepidopteran insect Pokémon resembling a butterfly with a purple body, starting off as a Caterpie, before eventually evolving into a Metapod and finally, into Butterfree. Unlike true insects, it only has two body segments and four light blue legs, and a sensitive antenna that can detect the odors of blooming flowers six miles from its nest in search of nectar, which it carries with the hairs of its legs. It will defend Caterpie from bird Pokémon using this powder. This powder also repels water, enabling it to fly and gather honey even in the rain. The wings of Butterfree are coated with poisonous scales that easily fall off continuously as it flies. If inhaled, it could result in several status conditions. Though it isn't exactly popular for its combat capabilities, Butterfree makes up for it for being an adorable member on any team.

In the wake of Superman's death at the hands of the monster Doomsday, several different superheroes began to appear to try and take up his mantle. Among these contenders, Kon-El appeared with the name, Superboy. Though he's not a Kryptonian like his inspiration. Instead, he was created as a clone of Superman with the DNA of his archenemy, Lex Luthor as a part of Project Cadmus, thus making him half-human half-Kryptonian. Eventually, once Superman returned to life, the young clone became Superman's ally and even a family member of sorts. Superboy has worked with plenty of superheroes during his career as a superhero, but he's probably most well known for his time with the teenage superhero team, Young Justice.

**Dio Brando**, also known as **DIO**, is the one of the main antagonists of the *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* series. He appeared in the 63rd episode of DBX, Alucard VS Dio Brando, where he fought against Alucard from the *Hellsing* series.

## History

Dio Brando grew up a cunning street rat while constantly being abused by his abusive and alcoholic father, Dario. After Dario's death, Dio was sent to live with the Joestar Family to repay a debt seemingly owed to his father by George Joestar. Dio's upbringing gave him a yearning for power that could not be sated, and he quickly asserted himself as the superior of his new adoptive brother, Jonathan, beginning an intense rivalry. This ultimately leads to Dio casting aside his humanity in pursuit of immortality by using an ancient Stone Mask, becoming a vampire and seeking world domination as opposed to merely earthly riches. Dio's conflicts with his brother concluded with their apparent mutual defeat at sea, but Dio would resurface many years later with a new body and new powers. Even after being destroyed a second time, Dio's influence would compel others to pursue his devilish wishes and fight a vicious battle to the finish against the Joestar lineage.

At the young age of 10, however, the brothers' mentor was murdered before their very eyes by Geese Howard, the leader of South Town's crime syndicate. Swearing revenge, the two brothers knew they had to train much harder to defeat Geese, and wound up going their separate ways. Terry chose to wander in his home country of America, combining the skills learned from his father, his father's mentor Tung Fu Rue, and abilities gained from the streets. Terry would eventually face Geese and defeat him twice, and he now partakes in regular King of Fighters tournaments to keep an eye on Geese's activities, all while making a name for himself as the "Legendary Hungry Wolf".

**Matthew "Matt" Murdock**, also known as **Daredevil**, is a superhero from *Marvel Comics* series. He appeared in the 50th episode of DBX, Daredevil VS Kenshi, where he fought against Kenshi Takahashi from the *Mortal Kombat* series.

## History

Matthew Murdock grew up in the harsh skirts of Hell's Kitchen, bullied by many, though raised with compassion by his single boxer father. Matt's life would change forever when he saved an old man's life from a speeding truck, since in the process, a radioactive material spilled out of the truck and into Matt's eyes, rendering him completely blind. Strangely, though, his other senses heightened to superhuman levels, to the point that he could detect his surroundings with ease and put himself in great pain from the slightest sound, touch, or scent.

Fortunately, Matt learned how to master these new senses thanks to combat training from the blind fighting master, Stick. He fine-tuned his senses to near perfection and learned martial arts, acrobatics, and gymnastics, and eventually even earned a law degree. One day, Matt's father refused to throw a fight in front of his son and was killed by gangsters, so Matt used his training to track down the criminals and avenge his father's death. Since then, he was inspired to become someone who can help those who can't help themselves like he did. By day, he is a lawyer who fights for justice by the book, but by night, when the system fails, he enacts his own justice as the costumed vigilante known as "Daredevil".

Shang Tsung led Kenshi to the location of an ancient and powerful sword known as Sento, and he claimed that the sword would befit Kenshi's power. But as Kenshi unsealed the well wherein the sword laid, he was overwhelmed by souls trapped within it and was permanently blinded; Shang Tsung had used Kenshi's ambitions to absorb more souls and left him to die. However, Sento, which the souls of Kenshi's ancestors manifested in, came to his rescue and guided him out. Now wielding Sento, which had granted him a form of sight, Kenshi would spend several years hunting down Shang Tsung in order to free the souls of his ancestors who had been absorbed by him.
