* They also contrast as they are both hit with fire after this fight by powerful monsters (Jogo and Nezuko), but the fire that Naobito was hit with was lethal and later killed him while Nezuko’s fire healed Tengen. - Either way, after this encounter they pass down their will to people close to them
* While they do show up in their series’ first season, they only ever do anything in season 2 which is where their big fights are
* Both of their personalities contrast with their roles (Naobito being very aloof and uncaring, likely due to his incisive drinking despite being the head of one of the deadliest clans in the world and Tengen being super flamboyant and flashy despite being a hashira, a group of the strongest people who hunt demons)
* They both have powerful techniques which only they have which allow them to see their opponents moves much easier and in slower motion (Projection Sorcery and Musical Score)
* They also have abilities which negate their opponent’s abilities to some extent (Falling Blossom Emotion is used to counter a Domain Expansion while Sound Breathing is used to counter a Demon’s Regeneration)
* Both of their main parts of the story and fights take place within a shopping/cultural environment which attracts many people from a far which contrasts the sheer brutality of what goes on there (Shibuya and The Entertainment District)

Wolverine

## Wolverine (Marvel Comics)

**Wolverine** (birth name: **James Howlett**; alias: **Logan** and **Weapon X**) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, often in association with the X-Men. He is a mutant with animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, a powerful regenerative ability known as a healing factor, a skeleton reinforced with the unbreakable fictional metal adamantium, and three retractable claws in each hand. In addition to the X-Men, Wolverine has been depicted as a member of X-Force, Alpha Flight, the Fantastic Four, and the Avengers. The common depiction of Wolverine is multifaceted; he is portrayed at once as a gruff loner, susceptible to animalistic “berserker rages” despite his best efforts, while simultaneously being an incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent polyglot, strategist, and martial artist, partially due to his extended lifespan and expansive lived experiences. He has been featured in comic books, films, and video games.

The character first appeared in the last panel of *The Incredible Hulk* #180 before having a larger role in #181 (cover-dated November 1974), in the Bronze Age of Comic Books. He was created by Marvel editor-in-chief Roy Thomas, writer Len Wein, and Marvel art director John Romita Sr. Romita designed the character's costume, but the character was first drawn for publication by Herb Trimpe. Wolverine then joined a revamped version of the superhero team the X-Men; writer Chris Claremont, artist Dave Cockrum, and artist-writer John Byrne would play significant roles in the character's development. Artist Frank Miller collaborated with Claremont and helped revise the character with a four-part eponymous limited series from September to December 1982, which debuted Wolverine's catchphrase, "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice." The subsequent 1991 Weapon X storyline established that Wolverine had received the adamantium grafted to his skeleton in a tortuous process conducted by a secret government project intended to create a super soldier, and that this experience led to post-traumatic amnesia.

Wolverine is typical of the many tough antiheroes that emerged in American popular culture after the Vietnam War; his willingness to use deadly force and his brooding loner nature became standard characteristics for comic book antiheroes by the end of the 1980s. As a result, the character became a fan favorite of the increasingly popular *X-Men* franchise, and has been featured in his own solo *Wolverine* comic book series since 1988.

He has appeared in most X-Men adaptations, including animated television series, video games and film. In live action, Hugh Jackman portrayed the character across ten installments of the *X-Men* film series produced by 20th Century Fox between 2000 and 2018, and will reprise the role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film *Deadpool 3* (2024). Troye Sivan portrayed a young version of Logan in the 2009 film *X-Men Origins: Wolverine*.

The Amazing World of Gumball

***The Amazing World of Gumball*** (also known simply as ***Gumball*** or by its abbreviation ***TAWOG***) is an animated sitcom created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network. The series concerns the lives of 12-year-old Gumball Watterson, an anthropomorphic blue cat, and adoptive goldfish brother Darwin, who attend middle school in the fictional city of Elmore, California. They often find themselves in various shenanigans around the city, during which they interact with fellow family members—younger sister Anais, mother Nicole, and father Richard—along with an extended supporting cast of characters.

Bocquelet based several of the series' characters on rejected characters from his previous commercial work while making its premise a mixture of "family shows and school shows", which Cartoon Network was heavily interested in. After Bocquelet pitched *The Amazing World of Gumball* to the network, Turner Broadcasting executive Daniel Lennard green-lit the production of the series. The show was produced by Cartoon Network Studios Europe, in association with Boulder Media (Ireland; season 1) and Studio Soi (Germany; seasons 2–6).

*Gumball* is noted for its intentional stylistic disunity, with characters designed, filmed, and animated using various styles and techniques, oftentimes within the same scene (stylized traditional animation, puppetry, CGI, stop motion, Flash animation, live-action, etc.). Although it is a children's series, *Gumball* comments on topics that are often considered serious or mature, including philosophy, marriage, cyberbullying, political intolerance, mental illness, and the human condition. The series has received critical acclaim and developed a cult following, with particular praises for its extensive references to popular culture and internet culture, sarcasm, subtle innuendos, dark humor, and metahumor.

Infinite Vs Gas

#### (Sonic The Hedgehog Vs Dragon Ball)

* Main antagonist of one of the latest releases of a series (Sonic and DB) Who are extremely disliked by fans due to seeing them as missed potential and poorly written
* They where originally part of a gang (Heeters and Infinites old crew)
* They both strive for greater power after an embarrassing lost against someone (Bardock and Shadow)
* They used a powerful mguffin to get stronger (Cerealian Dragon Balls and Phantom Ruby)
* They where manipulated by even bigger villains (Elec and Eggman)
* They bring out the past in the main character (The Bardock flashback and Classic Sonic coming back to help everyone) which the protagonist used to beat them alongside a new character (Granolah and Rookie) to fight them too
* Both where overshadowed by a iconic bald antagonist who took their place as the final boss (Frieza and Eggman)
Ymir Vs Obanai Iguro

#### (Attack on Titan Vs Demon Slayer)

* Both Ymir and Obanai are swordfighters belonging to a military corps dedicated to the eradication of a race of man-eating, regenerating monstrosities who can only be killed by having their necks sliced (Ymir belongs to the Survey Corps who fight Titans, Obanai belongs to the Demon Slayer Corps who fight demons). As children, both of them were an important part of a religious group (Ymir was brought into a group who worshipped the goddess Ymir and thought she was a descendant of Ymir, while Obanai's family were a band of thieves who worshipped a snake demon and wanted to eventually sacrifice him to it). Unfortunately, this did not pan out well for either of them, and while they both eventually managed to escape from their respective nightmares, neither came out unscathed (Ymir had become the Jaw Titan while Obanai had been disfigured). From there, they would both find a place in the previously mentioned military groups.
* On the surface, neither one of them seem like particularly nice people. Ymir often comes across as self-centred, cynical and abrasive, frequently talking down to many of her fellow Corps members, while Obanai is just a total dick to pretty much everyone he talks to, including his fellow Hashira. However, the truth is both of them are actually incredibly selfless people, willing to put their own head in a noose in order to help others (Ymir basically gave up her life to save Reiner and Bertholdt while Obanai fought Muzan to his last breath). Most notably, both are motivated by the thought of their closest friends/love interests (Historia and Mitsuri), and their last acts before their deaths was to tell these people the true depths of their feelings about them (Ymir's last on-screen act was writing the letter to Historia, while Obanai's last on-screen act before he died was confessing his love to Mitsuri and promising to find her again in his next life).
* There's also a really cool contrast between the two of them. Ymir chose not to rat out her worshippers to the Marleyan authorities, paid the price for it, and still swore to live her life with pride and without regrets. On the other hand, Obanai pretty much threw his entire family under the bus the first chance he got, got away almost scot-free, and regretted it for the rest of his life. In other words, one is proud of who she is and had almost no regrets about her life, the other is ashamed of who he is and will do anything to atone for his past. They have pretty similar backstories, fighting styles and relationships, but in terms of their outlooks on life, they couldn't be any more different.

* Both are a part of a peace keeping organization where their siblings are also in (Hero Association, IS Academy)
* Their personality in combat are somewhat similar; both are confident/cocky due to their immense power, but they are still level-headed/smart enough to analyze and use strategy against their opponents
Superman

## Superman (DC Comics)

**Superman** is a superhero who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, and debuted in the comic book *Action Comics* #1 (cover-dated June 1938 and published April 18, 1938). Superman has been adapted to a number of other media, which includes radio serials, novels, films, television shows, theatre, and video games.

Superman was born on the fictional planet Krypton with the birth name of **Kal-El**. As a baby, his parents sent him to Earth in a small spaceship shortly before Krypton was destroyed in a natural cataclysm. His ship landed in the American countryside near the fictional town of Smallville. He was found and adopted by farmers Jonathan and Martha Kent, who named him **Clark Kent**. Clark began developing various superhuman abilities, such as incredible strength and impervious skin. His adoptive parents advised him to use his powers for the benefit of humanity, and he decided to fight crime as a vigilante. To protect his personal life, he changes into a colorful costume and uses the alias "Superman" when fighting crime. Clark resides in the fictional American city of Metropolis, where he works as a journalist for the *Daily Planet*. Superman's supporting characters include his love interest and fellow journalist Lois Lane, *Daily Planet* photographer Jimmy Olsen, and editor-in-chief Perry White, and his enemies include Brainiac, General Zod, Darkseid, and his archenemy Lex Luthor.

Superman is the archetype of the superhero: he wears an outlandish costume, uses a codename, and fights evil with the aid of extraordinary abilities. Although there are earlier characters who arguably fit this definition, it was Superman who popularized the superhero genre and established its conventions. He was the best-selling superhero in American comic books up until the 1980s.

Total Drama

***Total Drama*** (often shortened as ***TD***) is a Canadian animated television series created by Jennifer Pertsch and Tom McGillis that premiered on Cartoon Network (formerly Teletoon) in Canada on July 8, 2007, and on The Flagship American version of Cartoon Network in the U.S. on June 5, 2008. The series is both a homage and satire of common conventions from reality television competition shows like *Survivor*.

Each season revolves around a group of teenagers competing in an elimination-style competition, in that the contestants compete in challenges both as teams and individually for rewards and immunity from elimination. The teams merge roughly halfway through the competition into individuals. As the contestants develop relationships with each other, they are progressively eliminated from the game. When there are only two contestants left, they compete in a final challenge where the winner is awarded a cash prize; C$100,000 (US$73,129.00) in the first season, C$1,000,000 (US$731,485.00) from the second season onward. The series currently consists of six seasons (*Island*, *Action*, *World Tour*, *Revenge of the Island*, the two-part *All-Stars and Pahkitew Island*, and the revival of *Total Drama Island*).

*Total Drama* has developed a cult following and spawned a franchise. A spin-off series, *Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race* premiered on September 7, 2015. A second spin-off series, *Total DramaRama*, premiered on September 1, 2018, in the U.S., and on October 7, 2018, in Canada.

On February 17, 2021, it was announced that a revival of *Total Drama* had been greenlit, with two new seasons being produced for Cartoon Network and HBO Max in the United States, Cartoon Network in Canada, and CBBC in the United Kingdom. Both seasons will serve as a soft-reboot of the original series, and none of the original voice actors will reprise their roles nor returning any of the previous contestants due to timeline and casting mandates. The first season came out in Italy on April 10, 2023, with the original English version being available on Discovery+ in the region, and will later see an international extension. Despite being announced as two seasons, the reboot was later revealed in the end credits to be one season, similar to the fifth season.
