  • (Cues: DEATH BATTLE: Wiz and Boomstick (Official Theme Song))

  • Wiz: Emotions can be powerful things.

  • Boomstick: Ugh, we're really gonna talk about feelings and crying and stuff.

  • Wiz: Well yes, and how they feel some pretty powerful magic.

  • Boomstick: Like with Raven the half-demon sorceress from the Teen Titans.

  • Wiz: And Twilight Sparkle the magical prodigy from My Little Pony.

  • Boomstick: Yep, really doing this again.

  • He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

  • Wiz: and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a DEATH BATTLE!

  • A strong emotion can drastically change a person.

  • Fear can trigger instincts necessary for survival.

  • Anger can increase adrenaline for incredible feats of strength.

  • Boomstick: And for this edgy looking chick in a wicked cloak, that's kind of her thin'.

  • This is Raven.

  • Wiz: From the day Raven was born in her home dimension of Azarath. She wasn't the most popular girl around

  • Boomstick: Yeah... It's not exactly a good sign when British are boarding the sky turns black in the whole world suddenly smells like farts.

  • Wiz: See, Raven is the daughter of a human mother and a fearsome demon.

  • Boomstick: Who is literally made up of hatred.

  • Not even kiddin'.

  • Wiz: Because of her heritage Raven's own mental state holds the key to a fearsome inner power,

  • She is an empath a mage who can sense create and manipulate emotions.

  • Boomstick: So her powers are all about feelings and stuff.

  • That's pretty lame.

  • Wiz: Tell that to her when she scrambles your brain or forces you to feel so greedy you steal from your boss.

  • Boomstick: (muttering) Don't need to convince me to do that?

  • Wiz: Wait what?

  • Boomstick: (laughs) I mean that's pretty intense.

  • But hey, she's got a lot more deadliness packed away under that cool cloak.

  • Wiz: When she was 18 years old.

  • Raven met her father for the first time and it...

  • Uh...

  • Didn't go very well.

  • Boomstick: Yeah, Demon dad shut her mom with a grandma laser that pissed off Raven so much she finally let loose.

  • Wiz: This shadowy figure is her soul self an extension of her spirit and manifestation of the powers inherited from Trigon.

  • Raven often wields it as her primary means of offense and defense though it can't function on its own

  • Boomstick: I wish I had a pet bird that could do with the soul self can.

  • Boomstick: This beauty let's Raven fly use its eyes and ears or just punch people like a big ol' batterin' bird.

  • Wiz: It can drain the energy and powers of others and also serves as a sort of pocket dimension which Raven can trap a limited number of foes and objects within.

  • Boonstick: Talk 'bout convenient.

  • But she can do way more: she can levitate, teleport, heal others, cast energy shields, phase through walls and blast people with mystical energy beams.

  • Wiz: But there is one drawback:

  • To wield her power, Raven must embrace emotion and too much emotion risks opening her mind to Trigon's corruption.

  • Boomstick: When she gives in to her darker side her entire personality changes.

  • Raven: What's the matter?

  • Afraid of the dark?

  • Dr. Light: I surrender.

  • Wiz: Under a new persona appropriately named: Dark Raven.

  • Boomstick: Dark Raven is stronger tougher and freakier than your everyday Raven.

  • She can shoot lasers from her eyes, desintegrate stuff with her hand beams and shape shift and her soul self is so powerful, it can wipe most people of the face of the earth in an instant.

  • Wiz: However, Dark Raven's incredible capabilities are a double-edged sword by tapping into her father's demonic powers.

  • She wrists transporting Trigon himself to the living realm kick-starting devastation across the universe.

  • Boomstick: Kick-starting, what are the T rewards are like for that like 20 bucks and get an autograph from Satan.

  • Wiz: Thankfully she has been able to free herself from Trigon's control granting her unlimited access to her own magical abilities.

  • Boomstick: Sometimes she even wears white to celebrate the occasion, or is that just for her wedding with Beast Boy.

  • Oh wait that never happened.

  • These comic books reboot way to open for any relationships to actually have lasting consequences silly me.

  • Wiz: Last but not least there's Ravens golden form a spiritual body free from Trigon's influence.

  • Which manifested after she turned evil and had to be killed by her friends the Teen Titans.

  • Boomstick: Oh that's messed up.

  • Wiz: It happens a lot actually.

  • Anyway Raven's accomplish plenty of incredible feats.

  • Boomstick: She's bent steel girders with their magic, toughed out getting thrown but first into a brick wall so hard it broke...

  • The wall, not her butt.

  • And even helped Terra a fellow Titan raised the Teen Titans Headquarters and the island it's on.

  • Wiz: Terra alone was barely able to stop the islands descent and together they pushed it back up to its rightful place.

  • This means Raven lifted more than half of the island's weight.

  • The Titans Tower Island is similar in location and size to Alcatraz which has a width of 559 yards.

  • Assuming the most likely granite composition and accounting for a 30% hollow interior, Raven's energy output would need to be about 14 million megawatt-hours.

  • That's enough energy to power all of New York City for over 3 years.

  • Boomstick: Raven's soul self can survive 30,000 feet below the surface of the ocean with no problem.

  • Wiz: That's almost 14,700 pounds per square inch.

  • Forty two times the PSI needed to crack most bones

  • Boomstick: And it's tough enough to survive laser blasts from aliens that hurt Donna Troy who can survive moon busting attacks.

  • Wiz: The villain Sparta's lasers could disintegrate people in an instant which requires nearly 3,000,000,000 joules of energy.

  • And Raven's soul self power through several of these blasts and held together.

  • Boomstick: The soul self is also stupidly fast it once flew from New York City to Blue Valley Nebraska and back in less than five minutes.

  • Wiz The distance between those cities is 1,166 miles as the crow or raven flies to make this trip in time ravens soul self must have flown more than 36 times the speed of sound.

  • Boomstick: Not impressed.

  • Well when she was golden ghosty Raven she flew between the Earth and Moon like it was nothin'.

  • Wiz: So, plenty of impressive feats but unfortunately, Raven's powers have daunting and often costy limits when the soul self takes damage.

  • Raven feels the pain herself.

  • Boomstick: It's gotta like a glass cannon and over taxes her own abilities pretty frequently.

  • Wiz: But don't disregard this as only mere physical ineptitude.

  • When Raven utilizes emotions in combat she tackles that emotion head-on the more negative the emotion the more pain she feels.

  • Boomstick: And don't forget she's also struggling not to feel so Satan doesn't show up.

  • With all that going on at once it's no wonder she passes out sometimes.

  • Wiz: But with the help of her friends and her adoptive Azarathian family, Raven eventually overcame Trigon's iron grip and defeated him.

  • Boomstick: Yeah, you'd think a guy like Trigon would think twice before messing with someone as powerful as Raven.

  • Brother Blood: NO!

  • You stay away from me.

  • You demon filth.

  • Raven: They're not demons; let me show you one.

  • Azarath Metrion Zinthos!

  • Wiz: High above the peaceful Ponyville, the city of Canterlot rests among the mountains.

  • There, a young filly had a dream as big as Canterlot Castle itself, her name was Twilight Sparkle.

  • Boomstick: Huh... here we go again.

  • I mean we've seen a pony that breaks the sound barrier and one that breaks physics.

  • So, what crazy powerful thinks this one can do, Wiz?

  • Wiz: Hold your horses, Boomstick, we're merrily out of the gates.

  • Boomstick: Ugh bring it in Wiz, your lame puns are busting with my script.

  • Wiz: Little Twilight wanted to learn magic at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns after a very...

  • Huh...

  • Eventful entrance exam she didn't just get accepted into the school.

  • She became Celestia's protege.

  • Boomstick: Which is kind of a big deal since Celestia is pretty much pony god of the sun.

  • Wiz: Not only that, Twilight also earned her Cutie Mark.

  • Boomstick: Oh, I remember those!

  • It's that magical tramp stamp ponies get when they grow up.

  • Wiz: Ehh, close enough.

  • Twilight's Cutie Mark symbolized her life's calling...

  • Specifically her destiny in mastering the art of magic.

  • Boomstick: This peppy purple pony wasted no time and hit the books to practice hard.

  • By the time she was an adult, she'd read her entire collection of 20,000 books.

  • Boomstick: What a nerd.

  • Wiz: Boomstick, have you ever actually read a book before?

  • Boomstick: Do gun manuals count?

  • Wiz: Sure, why not?

  • Boomstick: Oh, there we go.

  • Wiz: Twilight learned all sorts of powerful and useful magic.

  • She knows so many spells it would take well over an hour to describe them all.

  • Her memory is so crystal clear she can recall a complex spell after a mere glance.

  • Boomstick: But here's some highlights.

  • She can move stuff with her mind, shoot concussive energy blasts, raise magic shields and rapid fire teleport.

  • Wiz: She can manipulate gravity, ignite things on fire, freeze others in place, walk on clouds and even mastered the transfiguration spell.

  • As a filly she turned her own parents into plants.

  • Boomstick: Talk 'bout weird.

  • Wiz: She's even transformed a single apple into a nest of bird eggs which...

  • Uhh... hatched somehow.

  • Boomstick: She's created life?

  • Wiz: Yeah.

  • But Twilight's magic doesn't just stem from her vast knowledge of spells and history.

  • In the world of My Little Pony: magic is drawn from and control by unicorn's emotions.

  • Boomstick: Ugh here come the touchy feely stuff.

  • Wiz: The stronger a unicorn feels about something or someone, the stronger their magic becomes.

  • Starlight Glimmer: Huh I've always found magic is tied to my emotions.

  • Whatever I'm feeling fuels whatever I'm doing and the stronger I'm feeling the stronger the magic.

  • Wiz: Across Equestria Twilight Sparkle is one of the few ponies to master the most powerful magic of all.

  • The magic of friendship.

  • Boomstick: Okay Wiz I know metaphor when I see it.

  • Is it an idea of the girls so magical.

  • Wiz: Oh no no that's not it at all.

  • In truth, friendship is the only weapon powerful enough to defeat Equestria's most dangerous enemies.

  • Boomstick: But they weaponized friendship awesome.

  • Hey Wiz, you're my best buddy we're best friends forever c'mon give me a hug.

  • Where are the friendship blazers?

  • Wiz: Get off me.

  • Boomstick: (Laughs) hmm yeah upside I didn't...

  • I slipped.

  • Wiz: (clears throat)

  • Twilight's friendship magic is at its most powerful when focused through the elements of harmony when used together these ancient artifacts are a near unstoppable force even capable of overpowering the villain Tirek.

  • After he stole Twilight's powers along with the rest of equestrians

  • Twilight's crown with her personal element contains a powerful magic in its own rights.

  • Enough to literally change the fabric of reality in another dimension with its mere presence.

  • Boomstick: And of course we gotta talk about those wings of hers.

  • She was born a unicorn, but after completing an ancient spell about what else friendship

  • She transformed into an Alicorn the mix between a Unicorn and a Pegasus and a chance to sell just a whole ton more merchandise.

  • Wiz: It's a good thing too Alicorn magic is league's more powerful than a plain unicorns and Twilight needed the extra boost to defend Equestria as its newest princess.

  • Boomstick: Like when she fought that Tirek guy.

  • Wiz: After Tirek absorbed the magic from Equestria's entire population Twilight was forced to confront him herself while wielding the power of four Alicorn.

  • Boomstick: Where did it become Dragon Ball Z with baby girl horse toys?

  • Anyway, check out how Tirek rocketed Twilight straight into this mountain, and she was totally fine thanks to her magic shield.

  • Wiz: By comparing Twilight's apparent size just before impact to her actual size of approximately 4 feet tall we can estimate the distance she was thrown to be about 145 feet.

  • Tirek then closed this distance at 64.5 miles per hour combined with his estimated weight of over 31,000 pounds

  • Twilight's shield had to stand up to over 8 million Newtons.

  • Boomstick: You know what?

  • Forget it.

  • I'm on board with this pony stuff.

  • Wiz: Twilight is tough enough to survive bombardment by anvils and pianos, fast enough to fly over 300 mph without using any spells and even strong enough to lift and carry a rock weighing 4 and a half tons.

  • Boomstick: Her telekinesis is strong enough to lift a 340 ton bear and even uproot this giant flower tree thin'.

  • And with the other Alicorn magic she can move the sun and the moon.

  • Okay, yeah friendship powers way better than expected.

  • Wiz: However if Twilight has one glaring weakness its her unwavering neurosis.

  • Twilight Sparkle: (screams)

  • Boomstick: Oh you mean how she's obsessed over stayin' organized, and if wouldn't small thing goes wrong she totally loses it.

  • Wiz: Yes.

  • She has a well difficult time dealing with unexpected stress more often than not she even makes bad situations worse before starting to fix them.

  • Boomstick: But hey when push comes to shove Twilight Sparkle pulls her weight and more.

  • Tirek: You have no magic.

  • Twilight Sparkle: you're wrong Tirek.

  • I may have given you my Alicorn magic, but I carry within me the most powerful magic of all: The Magic of Friendship.

  • Wiz: Alright the combatants are set.

  • Let's end this debate once and for all.

  • Boomstick: But first prepare your loins for me undies.

  • But first IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Twilight Sparkle: Transdimensional teleportation?

  • Let's give it a try.

  • Hmm?

  • Raven: You. Saw. Nothing.

  • Announcer: FIGHT

  • Twilight Sparkle: No!

  • Not the books.

  • Raven: Darkness Take you!

  • Twilight Sparkle: Oh no, not again.

  • Huh?

  • Raven: Azarath...

  • Metrion...

  • ZINTHOS!

  • Is that all you can do?

  • Twilight Sparkle: Please work.

  • Raven: I want it! I need it! It's mine!

  • All mine!

  • Twilight Sparkle: Aha! Now I've got you right where I want you.

  • Dark Raven: GET AWAY FROM IT!

  • Twilight Sparkle: Sorry to "soil" your fun.

  • Raven: Well... that was odd.

  • Announcer: KO

  • Boomstick: Dear Princess Celestia today I learned that the only thing more powerful than friendship.

  • IS A GIANT BIRD SPIRIT COLLIDING INTO ME AT MACH 36!!!

  • Wiz: This was a tricky one.

  • Both Raven and Twilight possess numerous spells and techniques that could end the other quickly and easily.

  • Boomstick: Since they were pretty even in how many ways they could finish each other off.

  • This fight really came down to strength, durability and performance.

  • Wiz: First of all it's pretty obvious Raven's telekinesis has been shown to be much stronger than Twilight's.

  • Boomstick: But Wiz what about when Twilight moved the sun and moon?

  • Wiz: That's when she had the magic of Princess, Celestia and Luna.

  • And it's well established that only their specific type of magic can move those celestial bodies.

  • Princess Luna: So you're saying you want us to move the sun and the moon?

  • Twilight Sparkle: Well I do it myself except I don't have your magic.

  • Wiz: With her own magic Twilight has never shown anything close to the kind of force Raven used to lift the Teen Titans Tower.

  • Boomstick: Raven had the durability advantage too.

  • Remember how to Twilight shield held up against a hit a little over eight million Newtons.

  • Well Raven soul self is tougher than Donna Troy who can shrug off a blast worth 290 sextillion Newtons.

  • That's a 16 more zeroes in case you're wonderin'.

  • Wiz: And don't forget Twilight had the power of four Alicorns at that time the shield wouldn't saved her from Raven soul self anyway.

  • Boomstick: Not only could it observe Twilight's powers and emotions and not only was it capable of operating while Raven was unconscious.

  • But it also made a beam dive-bomber.

  • Wiz: Raven's soul self could fly at speeds exceeding Mach 36 since it's often been used as a battering ram to hit enemies.

  • We know it has mass but not exactly how much.

  • However given its size, strength and durability far exceeds Ravens own its mass is likely greater than hers.

  • Boomstick: Let's just low bullet and say they're equal all right.

  • Wiz: Sure adding Raven's mass to the Mach 36 calculation the soul self surrambing force at top speed comes to 15,000,000 Newton's of force.

  • Far greater than what Twilight's shield has sustained.

  • Boomstick: Ain't no pony walking away from that.

  • Plus Twilight's positive attitude met Raven didn't have to even worry about pain when using her emotions against her.

  • Wiz: While they may have matched each other in spells and skill; Raven's more powerful traits and exceptional soul self earned her a hard fought victory.

  • Boomstick: Yep Raven really pony'dup for this one.

  • Wiz: The winner is Raven.
