Thankfully, we're spared the sight of a horrifically crushed, bloodied, impaled, and mangled corpse that this would inevitably cause. She then drops his armor off of the pillar that they were standing on, audibly shattering it. Toph: Both combatants try to kill the other in a similar manner, encasing them in sand/earth and compacting them. What starts out as a simple lighthearted promotion suddenly turns into the climax of Toy Story, where SSG Goku begins to call out Ben Singer for the outcome of Superman v. The promotion for the Funko Super Saiyan God Goku before the Kirby v.AND NOT KILLING THE NINJA WRAITH, the way Skeleton!Scorpion cricks his neck up for the first time is unnerving. Scorpion: Ryu flaying Scorpion to the bone. Guess there's a good reason why Batman usually doesn't kill. Bats goes the extra mile and slices Cap in two with his own shield (which Batman stole prior).

Batman hanging Captain America with his grappling hook, breaking his neck in the process coupled with a Sickening 'Crunch!' is certainly not a pleasant sight (or sound) to behold.

What's more, for the first time in Death Battle, justice is foiled as the more heroic combatant dies and the villain lives to continue his rampage unabated. Gamera has Godzilla towering over Gamera after shrugging off his blast like it was nothing, right before exploding him into bloody chunks. A minor detail, but noticing it makes that part so much worse.

When Venusaur's plant is slashed off by Charizard, and blood/tissue is visible inside the stump despite it appearing to be made of wood on the outside.

After this episode, you'll probably be thankful that Pokemon just get knocked out, no matter how absurd the power imbalance. First up is Venusaur, who dies trying to escape Charizard's flames with an utterly terrified look on its face, and second is Charizard, who gets filled with water until it pops like a balloon. This battle adds two more entries to the Cruel and Unusual Death list.Luigi ends with Tails plunging a robotic hand into Luigi's chest, and he lets off a chilling death cry before expiring. Implacable Man taken to its logical extreme. Terminator's response? Slowly turning his head 180 degrees and give a deep, low, and slow ' Noooooooot. Then, as Robocop picks up said half-of-a-Terminator body, he warns Terminator that the fight is over. Even after Robocop destroys half of Terminator's body, his other half still keeps coming at him.Complete with glowing red eyes and noticeably more jerky movement coupled with the fire creating a hellish image.

Terminator rises up from the fire without his artificial skin, revealing his true form. After getting sent careening into an exploding oil tank.Firearm deaths aren't uncommon on Death Battle, but this one ranks among the most disturbing. The killing blow is surprisingly brutal in how primal it is: Fox throttles Bucky with his bare hands, slowly killing him with strangulation (complete with realistic choking noises) before grabbing his blaster, putting it to Bucky's head, and blowing his head apart with a point-blank charged shot.If it weren't for the fact that his legs are cybernetic, he would have died horrifically right then and there. Bucky's bombs blow off Fox's legs, essentially leaving him Half the Man He Used to Be.It's very bloody and a truly horrible way to go. Bison in half and then devouring his soul. This death was eventually worked into the Pokemon Battle Royale, with Blastoise causing Charizard to burst with his cannons: cannons which, in the leadup, were said to have 90000 PSIs (pounds per square inch) of force. Originally Spidey was supposed to web Batman in place and then spray webbing down Batman's throat until he either suffocated or exploded. During SGC the creators spoke about the original ending to Batman vs Spider-Man.With all the hits Lion-O did land, such as getting blasted into a mountain and stabbed in the shoulder, He-Man didn't do more than yell a little and shrugged it off no problem. He-Man's reaction when the Eye attacks him.And when it does attack, dramatic orchestrated music blares out as the Eye produces some unearthly noise. Just a brief, easily-missed mention of the gem being sentient in the rundown, that's all. Especially nightmarish for those not familiar with the Thundercats series, as there's hardly any prior indication that the Eye of Thundera could do this. Not to mention it's shooting three other beams as well, meaning it's not able to control its own power.

Then the Eye just up and attacks him of its own accord. He-Man breaks the Sword of Omens, then Lion-O, and walks off, content to allow Lion-O to live.

The Eye of Thundera attacking He-Man fits here.
