Well, Dan is looking alright considering the jukebox accident.

Also, the battle was nice. I wasn't really leaning one way or the other.

So, any guesses as to who Amy is fighting?

I'm guessing that Amy is fighting Sakura Haruno, that't the kind of crack matchup we haven't seen on DB in a while. They don't have a lot in common ability-wise, but they have similar obsessive personalities and color schemes, and are both despised by their series' hardcore fanbases. It's a stretch but DB has matched up characters for less.

People will say that Sakura stomps but Amy is ridiculously powerful herself, she can swing her hammer with enough force to punch through solid steel and enough speed to propel herself upwards like a helicopter. Those are the types of cartoonish feats that DB loves to overanalyze since they are actually quantifiable, unlike Sakura's more mystical feats. Sakura still has her self healing though which could be a deciding factor.

Most of the guesse on youtube are obviously hammer based (Harley Quinn, Nora Valkyrie) or pinkie pie. This match up could literally be anyone. I would have a fit if they found a way to make it Amy vs DIO or something like that.

I went with Sakura based on what Ben said at the end of the video, that it would be someone most people wouldn't expect. Someone with a hammer would be too obvious (Harley would fit due to of her similar love-obsessed backstory but she has no way to compete with Amy's speed). DeathBattle likes to match characters up based on vague overlying themes and I think Amy and Sakura have that with the whole pining-for-someone-who-doesn't-want-them thing. And they are both pink and red so there's that.

That's a very good point, yeah. I don't know much about amy, so I'm not sure who is a good or bad match Death Battle might do.

u/OolongmenRamen ​ Sep 28 '16

I'm almost certain it's Sakura now based on the hint Ben Singer dropped on his Twitter, a lot of other people seem to think so too

u/Emperor-Pimpatine ​ Sep 28 '16

We don't know that. It could be Plank. Seriously though, alright. Sakura's another character I'm not that interested in, but maybe I'll get some delicious fan salt when one loses.

no, he's being saved for the Plank vs Stump death Battle

u/Emperor-Pimpatine ​ Sep 29 '16

Finally, the battle we deserve. Plank v Stump: dawn of justice.

it ends when they find out they came from trees from the same park

I don't get the hint pertaining to Sakura.

A sakura is a cherry blossom, a type of tree that can also be used as lumber. People believe that the planks are from a sakura tree but it's impossible to tell really. It's an incredibly vague clue that can be interpreted different ways but Ben is known to leave those, the picture of a pair of scissors he used to hint at Dante comes to mind

u/SolJinxer ​ Sep 29 '16

Ahh. Didn't know about the Sakura tree being used for lumber. Learn something new everyday.

That scissors = Dante thing sounds even worst as a hint.
