Billy Butcher VS Hero Killer Stain

**Billy Butcher VS Hero Killer Stain** is the 4th episode of Fanfare Fights, featuring Billy Butcher from *The Boys* series versus Hero Killer Stain from the *My Hero Academia* series.

## Fight

*Stain is standing in an alleyway, his back turned away from Butcher, who is walking into the alleyway.*

**Butcher:** Okay, i'm kind of late, but I've got the temp-V you wanted, you don't need to kill my wife.

*Stain looks back at Butcher, and makes an awkward smile.*

**Stain:** Ohhh, about that… you see, I didn't think you'd actually come since you were so late, so I kind of just killed your wife.

**Butcher:** What?!

**Stain:** Look, I really needed that V, but the time to strike was too late, so y'know, I did it.

*Butcher pulls out a glock from his pocket, and aims at Stain.*

**Stain:** Oh, you don't really want to go that route.

*Butcher fires a couple of shots at Stain, who blocks them with his sword as he walks slowly towards Butcher. After this, Butcher runs away.*

**Stain:** Hey, you come back here!

*Butcher pumps his arm with the temp-V he was originally going to give, and curves his path into another part of the alley.*

*Butcher runs into a room that is incredibly dark, with lots of cover to hide behind. As Stain goes into the room, Butcher shoots at him from behind cover, which Stain deflects immediately with his wrists, which ricochets off of a vase, and barely makes a cut into Butcher's cheek.*

**Stain:** Oh Butcher, Butcher, wherever you are, I've got a sword to slice your neck off…

*…which he says as he avoids bullets.*

*As Butcher looks at a mirror in the back of the room, he notices his eyes flashing from the mirror, and realizes what this means. He then aims his laser fire to hit Stain, which works, and Stain is knocked into a bunch of vases and crates.*

**Stain:** Ah, God damnit. So you know how light works, huh?

*…he says somewhat angrily.*

**Stain:** Do you have any idea what I was going to use that Temp-V for? A point I was trying to make. For Reddit karma.

*Stain runs over to the source of the laser, and as soon as he got near, Butcher fired a laser at Stain, who dodges it, and then tries to hit Butcher with his sword, which also misses. Butcher punches, Stain slashes, Butcher lasers, Stain punches, but as Butcher lasers, Stain sees a small crate next to Butcher that says "EXPLOSIVE". Stain walks back a bit, and picks up a rock and throws it at the crate, exploding off Butcher's left arm and knocking him far back. As the blood from the explosion lands onto his sword, Stain licks it.*

*Butcher gets paralyzed, but then chuckles as he's on the floor.*

**Stain:** Hey, what are you chuckling at? And how are you able to laugh?

**Butcher:** Oh, Stain, you fucking dumbass… do you even know how compound-V works? You inject it into your bloodstream, which is how you get a supe's powers. So when you licked off my blood, most of it was V, and not my actual blood, which lets me able to not get affected as much.

*Butcher picks up his torso and stands up.*

**Butcher:** And when you drink temp-V, not only is it not a finished product, but you're drinking some powerful shit. Who knows what's gonna happen in your stomach, I'm gonna guess, an explosion.

**Stain:** WHAT?! No, no, that is the shittiest way to die! My stomach exploding?! Is that really my fucking legacy?!

*Stain looks incredibly scared and worried and looks away from Butcher*

**Stain:** Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK!

**Butcher:** See ya, yah dense cunt.

*Butcher lasers at Stain, which perfectly lines up with Stain's eyes as he's looking back, which shows his eyes getting burned off as Stain looks forward at the camera. Immediately after, his entire torso and upper torso explodes.*

**Butcher:** Damn, all that shit just to lose a fucking arm

## Retrospective Analysis

How did Butcher win?! Well, let's start this off with their speed. Tenya IIda was able to run at around speeds of 36.79 miles per hour during the time he fought Stain. How is IIda this fast? During the Quirk Apprehension Test, he ran this fast, which confirms this.

I know that you can make an argument for him being drastically faster through feats, but when the author or writer of a manga, comic, novel or show makes indirect statements about their character's abilities, it should be more qualified than feats.

The whole point of VS Debates is to see who would win in a fight if both were to have a crossover, with both characters using their stats and abilities. This, and the fact that we're also going to have to use a weaker Iida for this, because that was the same Iida who fought Stain.

So we got around 36.79 mph for Stain. So what's Butcher's speed? Well, his reaction speed is comparable to Homelander, since he and Homelander were straight up even in the fight. This already puts Butcher MUCH faster in terms of reaction than Stain, since Homelander was fast enough to react to this bomb explosion. But there's more.

We all know Homelander is comparable to Soldier Boy, who reacted to a motherfuckin LASER. Now yes, we know these are lasers, because the audio description of the episode literally calls the attack a laser beam, and multiple official websites describe Homelander's heat vision as lasers.

We know that Homelander and Butcher have the exact same kind of laser because they both work exactly the same way. Now to the Soldier Boy feat. How do we know Soldier Boy didn't just put up his shield BEFORE Butcher was gonna fire?

Well, we can hear the sound effect of the laser already firing before Soldier Boy reacts. We know this is the sound for a laser fire because that's how it sounds. It isn't the laser flickering of when your eyes are just glowing.

Soldier Boy reacted to lasers, and since Homelander is comparable to Soldier Boy, he should have the same stat, and since he and Butcher fought 1v1 before and were left even, we can assume that Butcher, alongside the other two are at least sub-relativistic, to relativistic in reaction speed. This is DRASTICALLY MORE than any of Stain's speed regardless of the rule we mentioned earlier.

And once Butcher juiced himself up with Temp V, Stain simply had no kill options. Sure he has a sword, but in a real fight, he wouldn't ever even get blood out of Butcher to take advantage of with his Quirk.

We see Translucent take on tons of weapons that are drastically stronger than a sword, and he shrugs it off before The Boys realize that they can put a bomb inside of his ass and explode him from the inside to kill him.

So, Butcher has much faster speed, and is capable of hurting Stain, while Stain can't do any harm to Butcher. It seems quite clear that the winner is Billy Butcher.

Billy Butcher also prefers being a vigilante with his group while Stain prefers being alone.
