Death Battle Prediction: Lord Hater VS Lord Raptor

 

Oh boy, this ones gonna be fun, a spooky battle between two incredibly powerful skeletal lords of metal and mayhem. Lord Raptor, the zombie rockstar legend from Darkstalkers, and Lord Hater, the alien warlord anti-villain from Wander over Yonder. In this insane battle of the bands, who will be the true Lord?

Background:

Raptor:

Long ago there was a small time Australian musician known only by his stage name Lord Raptor, who made a name for himself in the Rock and Metal genres. This genre of music, especially at the time, was often criticized for being involved with sorcery, debauchery and the Occult, and let's just say in this case, they may have had a point. Lord Raptor was fascinated with the often talked about creatures known as Darkstalkers, and steeped himself in research of the occult to learn all he could.

Eventually, Lord Raptor came into possession of a book written in ancient Hebrew titled, A Chapter of Tolagido. This book told him of an alternate Universe where Darkstalkers come from called Makai, according to the text, this dimension was made of the body of a dead god, it had oceans that stretched past the point of imagination that reached absolute zero in temperature, lakes of fire, mountains that reached past the sky and had a kingdom more than 100 times the size of the combined landmass of Earth, ruled by a powerful demon known as Emperor Ozom.

Inspired by this, Lord Raptor started practicing the dark magic spells found within the book, and began incorporating passages and concepts from these into his music, which subtly manipulated those who listened to his albums.

Through this, Lord Raptor became a big name rockstar on the international music circuit, going on tour around the world and amassing legions of fans who followed him almost like a cult, declaring him The God of Metal. This wasn't enough for the young Rockstar however, he didn’t want to simply be The God of Metal, he wanted to be The King of Makai! But before he could do that, he had to make contact with the demon world itself. 

During what would come to be known as his final performance, Lord Raptor performed a ritual live on stage to summon forth Emperor Ozom. When it was later discovered by police, the lifeless bodies of hundreds of people were found in and around the venue in a massacre, and all that remained of Lord Raptor himself was a pile of bleached bones.

Now Dead, Lord Raptor’s soul was visited by none other than Emperor Ozom himself, who thanked him for the large amount of souls he had just provided him with. Noticing how much darkness Lord Raptor had steeped his soul into, he offered him a deal.

In exchange for his eternal servitude, and retrieving the powerful souls of the Darkstalkers, Ozom would resurrect him as a zombie, with powers beyond his very imagination. Lord Raptor agreed to these terms, but secretly he intended to betray and kill Ozom to take his throne, as No one tells him what to do.

With that, Lord Raptor rose from the grave as a Zombified rockstar, and got really busy with planning. He was gonna hunt down some Darkstalkers and use his occult powers to channel their powers into himself, allowing him to travel to Makai and take Ozom down.

Expecting such a thing may happen, Ozom sent a low level, One-Eyed frog demon named, Le Malta to keep constant watch of Lord Raptor and report any sign of betrayal back to Ozom so that he could de-power him.

But there was something different about Lord Raptor to anyone Le Malta had ever worked with, a human element. Because of his status, other demons tended to treat Le Malta as a servant, slave, pet or even a toy.

Raptor on the other hand, respected him and treated him like an equal partner and friend, and because of that, Le Malta never reported anything back to Ozom and became Raptor’s extremely loyal partner in crime.

Soon after however, Lord Raptor, Le Malta and numerous other Darkstalkers were pulled into an alternate dimension called The Majigen. Where they learned Ozom was Dead, and even more shocking, was a false Emperor who briefly stole the position from the True Dark Lord, Jedah Dohma, who sought to end all life and transform it into only a single pure entity.

Raptor initially shifted his target to Jedah, wanting to take him down to finally achieve his goal of taking over the demon world, but while there he met a certain Jangshi named Hsien-Ko that he fell completely head over heels for.

This changed Raptor’s priorities to protecting her as well, and made him more open with other people around him, befriending fellow Darkstalkers like Lilith, Felicia and Jon Talbain. The Dark Lord Jedah used this against Raptor, forcing him to choose between having enough power to make it through the tournament, or saving Hsien-Ko.

Ultimately, Raptor chose to save Hsien-Ko and then went on to literally sacrifice himself to take down the powerful Vampire, Demitri Maximoff to ensure his new friend Lilith would be able to take on Jedah at her full strength, having total faith in her. 

Lord Raptor was rewarded for this character redemption, as when Lilith defeated Jedah, he and all the other fallen Darkstalkers were restored, he now leads a much happier life as a musician with Felicia’s traveling tour group and Hsien-Ko as his sorta girlfriend.

Lord Raptor is a wise cracking, charismatic Rockstar who doesn’t take himself too seriously, always wanting to have a good time. He is an expert guitarist and has a very genuine love of music, often being loud and making his voice heard. He’s the kind of person who will listen to music on his headphones and bop his head shamelessly in public, he doesn’t care what people think of him and that leads him to be a very genuine person. While he started out being more of a selfish egomaniac, he always did have a certain charm that kept people around him, and made him a better person at the end of the day.

Raptor has a strict honor code, he loves Le Malta like a brother, and Idolizes Hsien-Ko for being so heroic, and while he wouldn’t admit it, he became a lot more heroic himself when all is said and done. He is a clever and talented fighter with a caring heart, and while he despises his enemies he still shows great respect for his rivals.

Hater:

In the distant part of space known as The Yonder Galaxy, exists a race of aliens that closely resemble Horned Skeletons. one of these beings was an edgy young man named Hater. As a kid, Hater didn’t exactly see eye to eye with his own people, who were evidently quite orderly and goody-two-shoes’d. 

Hater instead idolized famous villains such as Major Threat, who were allowed to travel around the galaxy doing whatever they wanted and getting whatever they want. Hater had a huge Ego and wanted essentially to be treated like royalty and respected wherever he went, though he didn’t have much that made him stand out from the crowd.

Going out in his space van, Hater traveled to what is known as the Heart of the Galaxy, and while there, somehow figured out a way to channel the cosmic power of the galaxy into himself, gaining incredible Cosmic energy powers. Now having something that let him stand out to say the least, Hater went back out to the galaxy to make a name for himself.

Soon after he met a cycloptic alien military leader named Commander Peepers, who had similar ambitions. The two became friends and pulled their resources together as a team.

Peepers already had an army of one eyed aliens called Watchdogs and a planet sized warship which they then decorated like a skull to fit their new theme, redubbing it, The Skull Cruiser.

With Hater’s power and Peepers’ intellect they formed an unstoppable force that seldom anyone in the galaxy could stand up to, easily making it to the top of all the villain leaderboards.

They have conquered hundreds of worlds, destroyed celestial bodies and caused all sorts of mayhem and instability across the whole Yonder Galaxy. Nothing could stop them….until.

Hater was met with a Jolly helpful Yocal named Wander who somehow managed to foil all of his plans while attempting to be Hater’s friend, wanting him to give up his villainous ways and become a better happier person. 

Naturally this pissed Hater off immensely, and he spent all his resources trying in vain to destroy Wander until their villain status hit rock bottom. 

And that was just in time for a newer and FAR more terrifying villain to show up, Lord Dominator. Dominator was a truly unstoppable villain, stronger, faster, smarter and deadlier than anyone in the entire galaxy, and bent on destroying everything for fun. Hater, believing he was rightfully “The Greatest in the Galaxy” wanted to out do Dominator in villainy, believing they were just copying him.

But, when it came to his attention that Dominator was actually a super hot alien chick in armor, he developed a huge crush on her. He employed every option at his disposal to try and just get a date with her, even actually teaming up with Wander and putting together a huge show to impress her. AND she shattered his heart into a million pieces as a true villain should.

But despite the failure, Hater did completely open his heart up to someone else and became a better person because of it. After this Hater became determined to stop Dominator and save the galaxy from her destruction, which with the support of his watch dogs and the galaxy's inhabitants, he eventually pulled off and got praised as a hero.

Hater is an impulsive, short-tempered egomaniac who tried to put on an act of seriousness and maturity, but in actuality is somewhat goofy, insecure and easily distracted. Hater is often immature, almost like a big kid that doesn’t like being told ‘no’. More than anything, Hater just wants to be respected and thought of as cool by everyone in the galaxy, he tries to do this by force by conquering places, but also comes up with all sorts of harebrained schemes to do this more naturally through methods such as starting his own Rock Band called Lord Hater and The Harbingers of Doom, writing a novel, releasing his own line of exorcise tapes, you name it. He really desperately wants a girlfriend, but he gets so bashful and nervous around girls he often fails miserably and tries to pretend not to care.

Ultimately Lord Hater got his galaxy wide respect not by doing his villainy but by saving everyone and becoming a better person. And while he will never claim to be Wander’s friend, (because saying that after all this time would be embarrassing to him) he's definitely come a long way from the petulant jerk he started as.

Intellect & Skill:

Raptor:

Despite his often goofy and zany mannerisms, Lord Raptor has shown to be an extremely talented and experienced fighter. He is capable of fully analyzing both combatants in a fight simultaneously and knowing exactly what is going through both of their heads to an even more accurate degree than martial artists like Jon Talbain. He is a skilled manipulator who was able to string along the centuries old demon, Ozom into doing exactly what he wanted, gained a massive rock following, and concocted a brilliant strategy to win Jedah Dohma’s tournament, which only failed due to the unexpected turn of him falling in love with Hsien-Ko. He is also a talented spellcaster who has learned numerous ancient languages.

In combat, Raptor is able to defeat extremely skilled Martial Artists like the ancient Chinese Dark Hunter, Hsien-Ko after she got boosted to be at his power level, as well as being able to deduce that Jedah was forcing more of Mei-lings’ energy into her, and that he needed to destroy the Ofuda on her head to stop it. The most impressive thing about his intellect is just how strong a judge of character he is. After Morrigan absorbed Lilith, she became much more powerful, and stoically said nothing for the rest of the tournament. Lord Raptor was the SOLE person who was able to tell that Lilith was the one controlling Morrigan’s body, when even the massively supergenius, psychic manipulator Jedah Dohma, could not.

Hater:

Hater is so intelligent he once self constructed himself a custom vehicle from scratch in a few minutes. This was a working all terrain vehicle made of extremely sturdy metal and equipped with lasers, robot limbs and a f*cking pizza oven so that's pretty impressive! In another instance, Hater instantly figured out how Wander’s magic hat works, when intelligent characters like Sylvia couldn’t figure it out in an entire episode.

In combat, Hater is a fairly formidable fighter, letting his raw power and abilities do most of the talking, he was skilled enough to go toe to toe with Dominator for 15 straight minutes.

Dominator is skilled enough to take down his entire army at once, and hold off a massive multi angle all terrain attack indefinitely.

Powers:

Raptor:

Lord Raptor is a Voodoo style Zombie, an undead corpse animated by magic of the occult. As such, he does not need to breathe, eat, sleep, drink or rest, and is immune to most ailments that affect the living such as poison, disease and aging. Additionally his Zombie form grants him tons of awesome spooky powers, this includes:

  • Regeneration:

Lord Raptor can near instantly heal from extremely grievous injuries. As a zombie, he does not rely on any of his internal organs, so having his guts spill out will not negatively affect him.

If Lord Raptor were to be dismembered or lose a limb he can simply reattach it by placing it over the wound.

If that option is not available however, Raptor does have quite powerful regeneration. In his fight with Hsien-KO, Raptor had everything but his arm, shoulders and head straight up vaporized, yet could grow them all back after a short time. However, his regeneration takes a great deal of magic powers to perform. If he exhausts his magic power without being able to recharge, he will not be able to regen and will crumble to dust. This is why he will opt to reattach severed parts rather than grow new ones whenever possible.

  • Body Manipulation:

In true classic Zombie manor, Lord Raptor can move and control any of his severed body parts remotely, no matter how small. All of his body parts are capable of moving around the battlefield by themselves, allowing him to attack from multiple angles at once, restrain a target, and reform himself at his leisure.

  • Elasticity:

Raptor’s body is incredibly malleable, allowing him to stretch and contort his limbs, head and even bones in all sorts of unnatural ways. He’s able to stretch more than 5 Meters at his maximum, letting him use melee attacks at mid range, and even hover in the air briefly by rapidly spinning his legs around his waist like a chopper.

  • Shapeshifting:

An even more extreme example of this is his shapeshifting abilities. Lord Raptor can transform his body in a multitude of ways from growing additional faces to block attacks, to biting people with his legs. Though his most dangerous use of this is turning his very bones into weaponry! Lord Raptor is able to expand his bones out as gigantic spikes, blades, swords, and even working Chainsaws and Buzzsaws, allowing him to stab, slash and hack through even the toughest of Darkstalkers. These attacks are hard to predict, ranging from stabbing with his elbows, to humping his spiked ribs into a foe’s chest.

He can even fully transform his body into a giant drill or shuriken and fly through the air to shred someone to bits!

  • Illusions:

Lord Raptor is a master of Occult magic, and can use this power to perform a variety of spells. The first one he learned was his advanced Illusions. Lord Raptor can generate strange, realistic looking visuals and sounds. He can use this to fool his opponents, make himself look more intimidating, instantly change his outfits, and most famously, disguise himself as his original human state, so realistically, he even Feels the same. The disguise illusion in particular takes a fair amount of magic to maintain, as such, he’s actually weaker in this state, and needs to go back to zombie mode to fight at full power. Also his illusions can be revealed by Mirrors.

  • Electrokinesis:

A more commonly used supernatural ability is Lord Raptor’s Electricity Manipulation. Lord Raptor can generate electricity to empower himself, making him stronger and faster, as well as use it to attack his foes. Raptor has two means of attacking with electricity, a large omnidirectional attack called Death Voltage, and a melee move called Evil Scream that shocks on contact. And these aren’t your ordinary lightning attacks, as an addition to electrocuting them, these attacks also drain an enemies Energy away, giving it to Lord Raptor. Because of this, he can force a foe into complete exhaustion very quickly while never running out of stamina himself. Related to this, he is also able to absorb electrical energy itself to gain strength that way.

  • Sonic Attacks:

Of course no self-respecting rockstar would ever be caught dead without his Axe! Lord Raptor’s guitar is actually a demonic artifact he summoned from Makai. This horrifying beauty can be summoned to and away from Raptor at will and can be used to perform numerous spells, the most common of which being his sonic attacks. These powerful shockwaves are the shrieks of Banshees, and deal massive damage to those hit, inflicting them with many negative status effects. The guitar can also increase the stats of the user, shoot lasers out of its headstock, and produce sound waves that shield Raptor from attacks.

  • Mind Manipulation:

Lord Raptor’s Axe is good for more than just that stuff though, it is capable of straight up brainwashing people into doing his bidding. During his initial Rock Tour, his music slowly but surely mind controlled his own fans, allowing him to form them essentially into his own cult. After becoming a zombie, his spells are much more powerful, allowing him to directly hypnotize foes to his side, and can affect an entire stadium full of people at once.

  • Necromancy:

Lord Raptor is proficient in Voodoo and is able to immediately raise an army of the dead from the earth to do his bidding. These Ghouls aren’t nearly as powerful as Raptor himself, but are quite dangerous with their large numbers and ability to take on lower tier Darkstalkers.

  • Soul Hax:

Lord Raptor’s zombie body replenishes its magical energy by consuming souls. His most common means of doing this is through his music, which slowly consumes the souls of those who hear it over time, however, in moderation it doesn't take enough of any individual listener's soul to do real harm. But when in a jam, Raptor can also consume souls directly, he is able to instantly suck the souls out of an entire group of people at once. While he seems to need to be in close range to pull this off, it is an instant kill and absorbing souls will replenish Raptor’s magic reserves and drastically increase his power and speed to much stronger levels! Because of the lethality, he usually reserves this for Evil people.

  • Le Malta:

Le Malta is Lord Raptor’s partner in crime, a lower level demon creature who, while not much of a fighter in his own right, assists Lord Raptor in combat by offering his abilities to the zombie rocker whenever he needs.

Le Malta’s primary ability is called Hell’s Gate, a portal that he can open up inside of his mouth, which Lord Raptor can use to teleport around the battlefield.

This Hell Gate is an interdimensional rift, capable of reaching other planes such as The Human World, Makai and The Majigen. This allows Lord Raptor and Le Malta to travel to other dimensions at their leisure as well as potentially trap a foe inside of another dimension forever.

Le Malta’s other major ability is his Matter Manipulation, He is able to perfectly control his own molecular structure to drastically change his size, shape-shift into practically anything, and even phase his body through solid objects. He can even affect the molecular structure of others, most famously, changing them into the shape of a basketball so Raptor can slam dunk them.

Hater:

Despite his looks, Lord Hater isn’t actually a Skeleton, but a horned alien species that just happens to resemble one. That said, his only discernible organs are his Brain, Heart, Eyes and Tongue. Lord Hater’s ‘bones’ are quite hard, but also can be stretched quite elastically at times, and any part of his body can be taken off and reattached pretty harmlessly, though he cannot control parts of his body that are not attached. Also since he doesn’t have lungs, Hater is surprisingly one of the only characters in the Wander series that can breathe in outer space.

Hater also has a small regeneration ability that once allowed him to heal from his head exploding. This however does have it’s limits, such as when he lost his arm to a Black Hole, he was not able to grow a new one.

He has since replaced this arm with a mechanical robot arm that looks and functions exactly like the old one however. But all these traits are not uncommon of his species, Hater’s most dangerous traits are the powers granted to him by the Cosmos. These powers include:

  • Cosmic Lightning:

Lord Hater’s trademark ability is his incredibly powerful Cosmic Electrokinesis, this scary green lightning can surround Hater’s body as a damaging electric aura that harms any that come in physical contact with him.

And of course can be fired as a deadly lightning projectile fast enough to hit some of the fastest characters in the series, and one shot most other super villains in only a single blast. This power is not only good for offensive purposes, but also gives him full control over surrounding sources of electricity.

He once used it to casually power all the machinery in his rock concert after the power was cut, and this rock concert literally spanned across the entire planet. 

  • Energy Manipulation:

In addition to the lightning abilities, Hater is able to channel and manipulate cosmic energy itself. 

Hater is able to use this for a variety of attacks, ranging from energy blasts, energy waves, energy constructs and explosive balls of energy he can form and throw like a grenade.

His energy control is so extreme, even his energy waves can harm his enemies while passing through his allies harmlessly. But these are far from his most famous energy ability...

  • Force Fields:

Lord Hater is able to generate force fields around himself at any given moment. These force fields are so durable that they have never been penetrated by anything in the entire series that hit it. 

His Force Fields are most often dome or sphere shaped to protect him from every possible angle, and can be so large, that they can easily encompass entire planets all at once.

  • Flight:

Hater also has the power to levitate and fly at high speeds through any environment.

  • Telekinesis:

Even more impressive than this is his telekinesis, which allows him to control and manipulate objects and people around him, similar to using The Force in Star Wars.

In Combat it is always a good fallback as it can allow him to block or redirect his opponents projectile and melee attacks to get him out of a jam.

His Telekinesis was so powerful, he was even able to overpower the Telekinetic powers of his idol villain, Major Threat.

And that guy was casually able to crush an entire solar system’s worth of planet sized stone statues into nothing all at once.

  • Teleportation:

Hater also has the ability to teleport, he can do this as many times as he wants in rapid succession, and has shown to have a pretty great range with it, at least planetary distance.

  • Resistances:

Lord Hater also has his fair share of hax resistances, most notably on the mental plane, he was able to resist being possessed by an energy lifeform that threatened to take over his body. Even more impressive than this is the time he resisted the mental manipulation of the Spacecat Bounty Hunter, Lil’ Bits.

That is actually nuts, because Lil’ Bits is capable of casually mind controlling an entire planet's population all at once.

  • Spatial Manipulation:

One of Hater’s lesser known powers is his Spatial Manipulation, his cosmic power which allows him to affect dimensional rifts. Hater can use this power to effect the gaps in dimensional space, such as when he cut a hole into the 4th dimension to free a cosmic space demon. According to Commander Peepers, Hater can use his powers to banish people to other dimensions, and according to Wander, he is able to seal shut black holes and wormholes. As Peepers and Wander are both truthful sources with a lot of experience seeing Hater in action, they said these statements TO Hater himself who did or said nothing to the contrary, and nothing in the series contradicts this, both of those statements must be true. This Gives Hater powers such as Dimensional Portals, Dimensional BFR & Dimensional Sealing.

  • Emotional Amplification:

Lastly we get to Hater’s most infamous and arguably most dangerous ability of all, his Ace in the hole so to speak, Emotional Amplification. With this, Hater can channel his own emotions as a powersource, fueling his very body and abilities, the more potent his emotions are at the time, the more powerful he becomes.

Lord Hater most commonly fuels his power with Pure Hatred, Hatred is one of the strongest emotions that exist, anger, rage, frustration, pain and many feelings like them all contribute power towards it, the more agitated Hater grows, the more powerful he becomes.

When really Enraged, Hater’s Strength, Speed and Durability reach a level above almost anyone in his own series, able to Plow through dozens of his rival villains in seconds like an unstoppable train. In fact that's a pretty apt description, since his emotions are fueling him in this state, Hater’s actual stamina and level of damage just stop being a factor. His body and his energy aren’t what’s powering him anymore, emotions are, and that has allowed him to go from total exhaustion and serious injury, to fighting at 100% at the drop of a hat multiple times.

But another huge benefit is this doesn’t just amplify Hater’s physical abilities, but his Mental ones as well. When fueled by a particularly strong emotion, Hater becomes hyper focused, skilled and strategic, gaining a photographic memory and genius level intellect So impressive, he was able to find the secret planet using advanced Gravity Well and Thermo-Dynamic calculations for the entire galaxy, when even other genius level characters like Peepers and Dominator didn’t even know it existed.

Plus, all of that was just with Hatred, there IS a stronger emotion, one that Hater experienced when the Galaxy finally accepted him, Love, which will make him more powerful in all regards.

Feats:

Raptor:

Strength/Durability:

  • Even Lord Raptor’s human state, he is capable of tanking flamethrowers, destroying buildings, knocking out most low tier Darkstalkers in a single punch and enduring the dimensional barrier of Jedah Dohma trapping them in the Majigan.

  • Also while in his human state, Raptor Knocked out the promethean monster, Victor von Gerdenheim, with only one sucker punch. Victor is strong and fast enough to go toe to toe with legendary dark hunter, Donovan Baine.

  • Defeated the water king Rikuo in a single attack.

  • According to Morrigan is clearly much more powerful than Hsien-Ko, and he proved this by defeating her at her most powerful state while holding back.

  • Most Impressively, Lord Raptor was able to fight and Kill the most powerful Vampire in the world, Demitri Maximoff. While this took a great deal of effort on Raptor’s part, and left him injured and exhausted to the point of deaths door, the only reason for this is because in his earlier fight with Hsien-Ko, Jedah unexpectedly raised Hsien-Ko’s power to greater than Raptor’s, forcing him to win by using the power he was “Saving for Demitri” knowing he wouldn’t be able to recharge himself while trapped in the Majigen.

 Meaning Lord Raptor went into this fight with his magic power already exhausted, and normally he wouldn’t have a problem fighting Demitri. So how powerful is Demitri?

Well, at this point in the story, Demitri had absorbed the power of the alien god known as Pyron, giving him the full power. Pyron is insanely powerful, so much so that just his body’s gravity field can crush stars and make planets rotate around his fingers.

But that is child's play, Pyron, just seconds after awakening he was able to completely absorb his home planet Hellstorm, and Hellstorm is NOT your average everyday planet, its diameter is in excess of 400,000 Light Years! That's like 4 Milky Way Galaxies lined up in a row for one planet! And Pyron’s power has only increased since then over the last millions of years. Heck in some timelines, Pyron gets strong enough to destroy a universe, though that wouldn’t count here.

  • Demitri is also able to fight Morrigan who was able to withstand some attacks from the Shinigami, Jedah Dohma, who can casually create a dimension that contains entire constellations.

Speed:

  • As mentioned earlier, Lord Raptor is fast enough to both dodge around attacks, and score accurate hits on Demitri Maximoff.

Demitri is more than able to keep up with the likes of the premier speedster character of the series Morrigan Aensland, who is so fast she regularly flies from Makai to the Human World for nightly escapades. The only way to do this is to fly across the oceans in Makai, which stretch so far out not even the cosmically clairvoyant Belial Aensland knows of their end. Both Demitri and Morrigan are also capable of fighting Pyron, who in the original Darkstalkers game, flies from Hellstorm to Earth in literally 1/3rd of a second.

While we do not know the exact distance of Hellstorm to Earth, the fact is, Hellstorm is the size of an incredibly large galaxy, and therefore must exist at least outside of our local group of galaxies to not have disrupted all of our galaxy's gravitational flow with its sheer mass. This means Pyron flew 8 Million Lightyears in only 1/3rd of a second, or the equivalent of 871 Trillion times the speed of light.

General:

  • Somehow made a comeback career despite his last show before he became a zombie resulting in an unexplained massacre.

  • Made it to the final round in Jedah’s tournament.

  • Can sway pretty much anyone into joining his side with enough time.

  • Ultimately did intentionally set the stage to result in Jedah’s defeat, saving all life.

Hater:

Strength/Durability:

  • Tossed a T-Rex into space with enough force to make a solar system sized explosion.

  • He’s many times endured the sonic attacks from Emperor Awesome, a guy who regularly destroys entire planets with the sheer decibels of his music.

  • Punched Emperor Awesome through an entire planet.

  • Knocked out Sylvia in a single hit when she tried to challenge him in the first episode, after that she Never even Tried to fight him for the entire remainder of the series.

  • Killed General McGuffin in a single casual blast.

  • In the Good Deed he tanked a direct shot from one of his missiles which was going to Obliterate the Sun.

  • Lord Hater was able to plug up a Black Hole with his finger, completely tanking the force it was exerting on him.

Despite its small size, this Black Hole was shown, and repeatedly & consistently stated, to be able to Destroy the Entire Galaxy! Black Holes suck in objects via pulling it into its intense gravitational pull, what gravity is at the end of the day is the force that two objects exert on each other, based upon said objects density. The Earth pulls us towards the ground no matter how high up we climb, on the opposite side we actually pull the Earth up towards us too, but the amount is so small it barely even registers because the Earth is so much more dense than we are. 

Well, This Black Hole is pulling in the ENTIRE Galaxy, and doesn’t appear to be moving a millimeter, This monster of a singularity must be massively more dense than an entire spiral galaxy and Hater could tank that, with his finger, without it even being attached to his body, meaning No Emotional Amplification necessary.

Actually it's even more impressive than that, as Hater isn’t the only one who took this, Wander did too. Wander is barely above fodder in this series, he has been overpowered by individual members of Hater’s Watchdogs before in episodes such as The Fugitive.

To put that into perspective, the Watchdogs are roughly equivalent to Emperor Awesome’s Fist Fighters.

And Hater once defeated Every Single Fist Fighter at Once in just a single move.

  • While we are on the topic of Hater’s emotional amplification, let's look at how much that boosts him shall we? When Hater is Amping himself with heavy amounts of Hatred, he is able to go head to head against Dominator for an extended period of time. 

For comparison, Dominator is a godly powerful galaxy vaporizing super villain who is so strong, she once instantaneously defeated Every Single other villain in the entire galaxy, including their entire armies and war fleets, all at once with just the mere shockwave of one of her punches. Punches that Hater took several to the face!

  • When he was Amping himself with Love however, Hater became so powerful he was flatly Above Dominator, able to knock her planet drill back with such force it impaled all the way through her ship, destroyed her armor and knocked out her tooth, defeating her.

Speed:

  • Hater is fast enough to score hits on Sylvia, Wander’s Zbornak Steed...

Sylvia is Really. REALLY. Fast, heck in pure speed she is actually classified as one of fastest modes of transportation in the known galaxy, and casually won a MFTL Race across multiple solar systems to prove it. Sylvia can casually traverse around the entire Yonder galaxy at an insane pace, and even ran all the way to a different galaxy in only a few seconds just to visit her family. Her greatest speed feat however, would be the time she ran up a staircase, stated to actually be several times longer than the universe itself, in under 9 minutes. Assuming this took all nine minutes and only using the diameter of the Observable Universe as distance, this would still have her moving at speeds over 5 Quadrillion times the speed of light.

  • Hater can also run at a comparable rate to Wander who even alone can run across the galaxy physically as fast as actual spaceships.

General:

  • His stamina is so impressive he was able to effortlessly perform a rock and roll show for over 4 straight days, while powering the show himself. Sylvia and Peepers became exhausted just trying to stop him for like an hour in comparison.

  • Cut his own Arm off just to get away from Wanders Banjo music like a boss.

  • Literally DID save the entire galaxy from Dominator.

Weaknesses:

Raptor:

Lord Raptor’s primary weakness is his own magic supply, Occult Magic isn’t just what let’s him use his powers, it is what is animating his undead form. Him running out of power essentially means death, hence why he has so many means of replenishing his magic reserves midfight. He may seem invincible but if the fight goes on too long without him finding a way to recharge, eventually he will break down. Also he absolutely refuses to wear a shirt, ever.

Hater:

Hater is immature and can be easily distracted, many times throughout the series he’s been manipulated and out strategized by more clever opponents. His Emotional Amplification is a powerful ability but it depends on his emotional state. Should a fight go on so long he becomes more apathetic, he will lose the boost and then ALL those battle injuries will catch up to him. He also gets extremely nervous around pretty girls.

Summary:

Raptor:

Advantages:

  • Is a much more skilled fighter.

  • Can constantly recharge his own stamina.

  • Ridiculously better regeneration.

  • Could feed off of, and drain his energy.

  • His illusions could easily fool Hater.

Battle:

Far off from the Yonder Galaxy, the Skull Cruiser drifted at a slow pace going nowhere in particular. “Ugh, Peepers I’m so bored, I Mean what even is there to do right now?” Lord Hater whined. “Well sir, if you're bored we could always try blowing up a moon? That always seems to lift your spirits. In fact, there's one right there.” Peepers said pointing at a nearby moon floating just outside their ship. “Nah, I already did that three times today…”, as that discussion continued, the Sun set on the side of the nearby blue planet that controlled said moon.

“Sir, we are detecting a large gathering of sentient beings, fog machines, lasers and musical instruments on the planet below.” one of the watchdogs called from a station on the ship's bridge. “You Mean?” Hater started. Peepers signed, “Yes sir...a party.”

Lights of many colors buzzed around a large venue, as the clear night sky gave the  surrounding desert an eerie and cold feeling while loud rock music played before just as suddenly stopping. As the band started to exit off stage left a young female announcer dressed like a sexy witch took the microphone. “Let's give a big hand to The Hex Girls.” she announced as a small frog creature ran on stage and began setting up a drum set. “For those of you who just got here, Welcome to the Alice Springs Goth Metal festival! And now that that pesky sun has finally gone down, It’s time to finally bring out tonight's special guest!” Fireworks exploded off the stage and the crowd lit up as a tall shirtless blue man stepped out on stage.  The announcer threw her arm back as she joyously called, “The living legend himself, the God of Metal, Lord Raptor!”

The Audience cheered loudly as Le Malta started banging on the drums. Lord Raptor played an epic loud note on his guitar and shouted “ARE YOU READY TO ROC- THUD.

The sound was subtly cut off by a gigantic tongue like platform falling from the sky and hitting the stage, much to everyone's shock. As quickly as it came a large group of small one eyed dudes flowed off of it onto the stage alongside a really big and excited skeleton man in a dark robe. “Haha, alright it's a Rock Concert, take your places boys” Lord Hater commanded as he grabbed the Mic. “Hi Everybody! You guys totally lucked out, as you now get to see a surprise show from LORD HATER and the Harbingers of DOOM! WOOOO” Hater called out as suddenly the Mic was grabbed out of his hand.

 “Oi, you in the robe! These here folks are my fans, they came here to see me, now Beat It” Raptor said Le Malta hiding somewhat behind his legs. “Oh really? And what's your band called, the Zombie Armpits?” Lord Hater mocked. “...huh, actually that's a pretty cool name, Nevermind, this backwoods planet only likes your music because they’ve never heard mine” Hater said, grabbing the mic back aggressively.

Raptor’s head steamed red, but he kept himself calm as he pulled out his guitar. “Well then, I guess we’ll have to See whose music be better.” Raptor strummed a twisted sounding tune...

Fight!

“Did you say something blue dude?” Click, Click Lord Hater heard the sound of dozens of lasers being primed and looked up to see all his Watchdogs, even Peepers had their eyes glazed over in a deep purple, and were raising their laser pistols at him.

“wa..What’s happening?” Hater said in utter confusion. “It seems you aren’t much of a music lover Skullface, but let's say we take a poll to see what your friends think?” Raptor joked as every single Watchdog unloaded a turrent of laser fire at their boss from all directions.

“Ah, Oh my Grop” Hater cried as she suddenly took to the air and began flying all around the venue, narrowly dodging the laser fire as the crowd cheered thinking it was merely part of some kind of show. Lord Raptor laughed as he played an awesome bar of music on his axe and it too began firing lasers at Hater.

“Oh that's it!”, Hater said as his body was suddenly surrounded in a green spherical shield that deflected all the lasers away. The shield rapidly expanded in size until it covered the entire stage, knocking every single watchdog present into the crowd and back behind the curtain. Raptor strung a powerful note from his Guitar which jumped forward and blocked the shield’s expansion until both forces disappeared.

Lord Hater floated back down onto the stage, “Okay you dumb punk, nobody makes me look stupid, I’m gonna Mess You Up!” he said in a low, intimidating tone. “I’ll give ya some credit mate, you managed to survive this long so I guess you are serious, so I’ll let you see my magic trick.”

With a strung of his Axe and an eruption of energy that seemed to shake the whole desert, Lord Raptor’s human guise suddenly burned away showing a wily zombified ghoul with a gaping mouth on his chest. “Haha, I betcha ya didn’t see dat one comm-” Lord Raptor was interrupted by a sudden punch to the face, making him stagger backwards.

“Oh Please” Hater followed with a hard gut punch, then a headbutt and then electrocuting him, before slamming him into the ground. “I’ve eaten things scarier than you.” Hater said looking disappointed. Lord Raptor didn’t seem hurt at all though, in fact, he was laughing.



An explosion of darkness seemed to come from his form in a spire to the night sky! Hater stepped back in hesitation “He He He, I like the look on your face now, it really suits you!” Raptor suddenly jumped out and punched Hater with two bladed gauntlets on his arm. The sound of Metal screeching against bone made everyone cover their ears in pain. 

Raptor sliced a hole through Hater’s robe and Hater retorted by throwing a series of punches as the Zombie, but Raptor casually dodged by elastically moving his bodyparts backwards, away from the arc of Hater's blows. Raptor’s entire body seemed to spin around and he slammed a powerful Axe Kick square onto Hater’s head which busts the entire stage and makes a massive meteor crater when Hater smashes into the ground.

The entire crowd screamed and ran away from the stage into the desert in a panicked frenzy. “Did you actually think you could win? HAHAHA You’re a Fool..” Raptor taunted. Hater shot up at that, dark thunder clouds seemed to come from nowhere and fill the entire night sky. “I was totally holding back before, but now you will feel the Full Fury, or Lord HATER!!!” He said as he blasted an extremely powerful ray of Cosmic lightning at the ghoul, embedding him into the ground. Hater walked towards him, laughing as he kept the beam going strong. As he reached him, Raptor suddenly put his hand out, blocking the cosmic lightning beam point blank. “Nice try bloke, but Lightning only makes me Stronger! Le Malta!” All of a sudden, Hater got swallowed up by a large mouth from the ground as Le Malta popped out and started chewing. He spat Hater out in the form of a basketball before turning into a Hoop. Raptor caught Hater cackling like a madman as he jumped up and slam dunked Hater back into the ground!



When Hater opened his eyes, they grew bloodshot, and glowed an eerie green, “I’ve had..ENOUGH OF YOU” Hater called as he Exploded off the ground and uppercutted Raptor so hard his head flew off, he unloaded blow after blow onto Raptor’s torso, singeing and burning his rotten flesh as he knocked him back into a clearing.

Lord Raptor’s arm stretched up and caught his head before snapping it back on. “Grr, not bad, skullman, now you got me full attention." Angered even more by this hater forged a massive ball of cosmic energy and punted it right onto Lord Raptor, only to be surprised when the projectile passed harmlessly through the zombie and the resulting blast that devastated the landscape didn’t even knock him back. Before he had time to think about it, that Raptor faded away into nothing, an illusion, Hater thought before he saw the real Raptor had jumped up in the air.

Lord Raptor extended his spiked ribs out, stabbing Hater in multiple places through his robe.

Unfazed by this, Hater grabbed the bony protrusions and pulled them even MORE into himself, bringing Lord Raptor right to him as he grabbed tight hold around the zombie in a modified reverse choke hold. “Ha, got you now!” Hater yelled, Raptor cackled as he turned his body into a bladed spinning top that twirled around in the skeletal alien’s grasp the blades wacking him upside the head.
“Stop.” WHACK “Being.” WHACK “So.” WHACK “COOL!” Hater suddenly halted the top's rotation with Telekinesis and then flung the Zombie into the nearby mountain, completely atomizing it into oblivion. Raptor was telekinetically dragged along the surface of the planet from the Australian desert to across the ocean, through all of Asia, The Arctic, down through Both Americas, Across the Antarctic and finally back again, carving out a massive canyon on the planet so suddenly even light still had yet to react. “How’s that suit you dead breath!” Hater said as he flew up into the air and began bombarding Raptor with energy blasts.

Raptor stood up and whipped out his guitar, playing the loudest song he could, and redirected Hater’s blasts away from the planet and back to sender. The Music hurt Hater’s ear bones so he was quick to put up a forcefield to block the attacks. 

Suddenly a spiked portal opened up inside of the force field behind Hater and Lord Raptor jumped out in the form of a massive drill, stabbing into Hater’s pelvis. “Ouch, thats super grindy!” Hater whined in annoyance, he stopped the drill with his hands and Kicked the zombie intruder into outer space, before following in hot pursuit.

Raptor looked into the black void of space as he exited the Earth’s atmosphere. “Huh, so this is where Pyron is from, I’ve seen better” He said as his back touched The Skull Cruiser Hater arrived in, causing Raptor to smirk.

Hater flew into space screaming like a barbarian, but his eyes grew wide as he watched the Zombie lift his planet sized ship and swing it at him. The impact almost through the moon out of its orbital pattern as Raptor tossed the large ship away from the Earth. Raptor put his hand above his eyes as he looked out into the distance. “Huh, I wonder how far he’ll fly” a lightning bolt was heard behind Raptor as Hater suddenly teleported back to him looking more angry than ever. “Not nearly far enough for you to be safe!” Hater yelled as he tackled the zombie down. The Two flew down to the surface of the planet at ludicrous speeds with Hater about to piledrive his undead foe.

“LE MALTA!” Raptor called. Suddenly an enormous mouth opened up on the ground where they were sure to crash and swallowed the pair up, transporting them to another dimension.

...

Hater fell through a portal face first into the mud of a toxic bog and looked around. It was a bleak and mesmerizing nightmare dimension. There was a flaming ocean, a mountain that looked like an evil face, a shining full moon, devil-like imps dancing in every corner and the biggest graveyard he had ever seen. Out from yet another portal, stepped out Lord Raptor. “Welcome to Makai Hateman, this little number goes out especially to you”



Raptor started a heavy metal tune on his Axe and suddenly hand after hand shot up from every gravestone around them as a horde of slime covered moaning zombies popped up from the unforgiving soil and started moving in on Hater.

“Grrr, you rottened brained freak!” Hater shot up and started tearing through each zombie one after the other, each punch turning one into Dust. In the confusion, Raptor would jump in and attack Hater with a Chainsaw or Buzzsaw, tearing up his cloak and grinding against his bones, and disappearing back into the crowd before Hater could retaliate.

Hater suddenly flew above the zombies, and using his Telekinesis, Pulled Raptor’s guitar away and into his own hand, before smashing it over his knee. Without Raptor’s guitar, every zombie collapsed to the ground as a lifeless husk, but raptor was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, Hater was Stabbed straight through the ribs by an extremely long bone sword extending out from the ground, Hater’s eyes went wide in pain. “This was strictly business before, but when you mess with a rocker’s axe mate, It Gets Personal” Raptor said in rage.
In a surprising beat of quick thinking, Hater Punched the blade stabbed into his torso, breaking it in two, and in a quick motion, grabbed the end connected to Raptor, and pulled him up into the air, flying towards Hater at blinding speed. With Hater’s other hand he pulled the other end of the sword out of himself in a slashing motion, cutting the zombie in half as he flew by.

The ends of Lord Raptor’s body flew off into the darkness and hater lost track of him again, but he heard the Zombie let out a loud cackle, which seemed to come out from every direction at once. “I’ve got to say, it's been awhile since I enjoyed myself in a fight THIS Much, you're one crazy Darkstalker, aren’t ya Hater?” Lord Hater floated back to the ground, trying to pinpoint where the voice was coming from.

“GOTCHA, DEATH VOLTAGE” Raptor called as he jumped up and let out an electrical shock that flooded the ground for dozens of meters! “AAAHH” Hater cried as he was launched back, the shocks siphoning off his energy. “Like I Said, it WAS an entertaining Fight” Raptor said smugly.

“ARRRRRRRR BACKKKKK OFF!” Hater yelled as his anger went to Absolutely Livid! Raptor and Le Malta were pushed back in an enormous blast as Hater rose up looking as if he wasn’t even phased. A Powerful Eerie Green energy, flooded off his body, it covered the whole graveyard, The whole continent, Until the ENTIRE MAKAI DIMENSION Was Completely BASKED in a Blinding Emerald Light!
Hater slowly approached his Zombie Foe. “What’s Wrong ‘Lord’ Raptor, I thought you Wanted to see something Really Scary?” Hater taunted in total rage. Raptor extended his spiked ribs towards the Skeleton, only to drop his jaw in shock as he witnessed them completely disintegrate before they reached him just from his aura. “Hmph, My Turn” Hater said excitedly. He flew towards Raptor at blinding speeds and Unloaded Punch after Punch onto the poor zombie, who was burning just by being so close. Hater slammed the zombie over his knee and he broke into several separate pieces.

Lord Raptor didn’t give up as each piece started producing spikes and blades and stabbing into Hater’s legs. Somehow getting even more pissed off, Hater telekinetically grabbed all the pieces and smashed them together into a ‘kickball’ the sheer force of his telekinesis, changing the orbital pattern of all the surrounding celestial bodies as he kicked Raptor into the far clearing.

“LE MALTA, Buy me some Time!” the undead biomass called as it flew through the air.

A massive mouth yet again rose up from the ground around Hater and began sucking him into its Hell Gate with the suction power of a singularity as the skeletal extraterrestrial fell in.

“Oh I Have Had Enough of you!” Hater said as his cosmic Lightning flooded around the portal and forced it to seal shut.

Le Malta shrunk back down and began feeling around his mouth, trying to figure out what was going on with his Hell Gate. Hater Pounced at the creature and threw a Titanic Punch at him only for it to faze right through and the Frog demon to disappear completely, an illusion.

“Why don’t you pick on someone your own size, you Ugly son of a Bitch!” Hater heard as he turned to see Raptor. He flew towards him and threw a punch, but it too disappeared, “Try again” another Raptor called, only for Hater to pounce on, It too, wasn’t real.

“Ugh! Where Are You!” Hater yelled, he looked around and noticed something, all the imps in the area were collapsing to the ground, their souls were flying from their evil bodies and gathering in a single spot. As Hater looked at the spot the Real Lord Raptor suddenly faded into view, having gathered a great deal of demon souls, He was bigger, tougher and wielded a giant chainsaw in one arm and stood tall. “Alright, ya found me, now come and get me Hatey!”

The two Skeletal warriors suddenly jumped towards each other at speeds beyond mortal comprehension. They clashed in an epic struggle, their power seeming equally matched. Hater grabbed hold of The Zombie’s chainsaw and while it tore through his glove, he still stopped it with his hand. 

Suddenly Raptor laughed, “EVIL SCREAM”, he said as his hand glowed with charged up electricity, it flowed through Hater’s body, and his mechanical arm, suddenly fried, metal parts broke out of it and it went limp while sparking electricity. Hater looked at it and felt legitimate fear, his confidence dropped and Raptor gained the upper hand.

“I’m gonna end this once and for all!” Raptor started using his soul hax again and Hater felt his very lifeforce being drained away out of his skull. He thought of everything he didn’t get to do, he thought of a Galaxy that still didn’t know his greatness and his army that wanted that for him.

“Ahhhhhhh AHHHHHHHHHHH” Green light engulfed the two until they were nothing more than silhouettes. But Raptor’s Silhouette only started to shrink.
“I Am Lord Hater” The Skeleton called as he Won the struggle and punched the zombie skyward. “THE GREATEST IN THE GALAXY!” With that Hater’s energy went from green to Yellow and he Blasted Raptor with all his power. The Zombie Quickly vaporized into dust, so much dust it flew into space and rapidly forged a brand New Nebula, flooding the gothic Makai skys with hundreds of new lights…

Hater dropped trembling to his knees Hugg “....I did it” Cough, “Lord Hater...Number One….Super Star!” he called in exhaustion, raising his arms in a cheer before face planting into the ground, passed out from exhaustion.

K.O!

Results:


That was Awesome, and totally worth the wait I hope! This was a fun fight to debate but ultimately Lord Hater just had better advantages after I looked into it. Let's break this down.

Raptor and Hater’s stats were basically Dead Even based on their feats, at least to start, and in secondary stats, Raptor somewhat dominates having the edge in Stamina, Intelligence, Skill AND Stealth. That said, Hater had a MASSIVE advantage in terms of Range, being able to hit from far outside the planet itself, making it so Raptor would have to abuse Le Malta’s Hell Gate just to keep him in his effective range. Also Hater’s Emotional Amplification allowed him to bolster his stats many orders of magnitude beyond Lord Raptor’s even with the many options Raptor had to raise power himself. More impressive than that is how it mitigated his weaknesses in the secondary stats of stamina and intelligence to the point they were actually more in his favor.

But still, Lord Raptor is a clever and skilled fighter, who could easily gain a lot of power by sapping off Hater’s energy and lightning abilities. It was going to take more than that to put him down, so what about their abilities? Well first off, Raptor’s mind control spell was not going to be able to affect Hater, at best it was shown to affect an entire stadium full of people, whereas Hater showed resistance to mind control that could affect an entire planet, so that was pretty obvious. While Lord Raptor could drain his energy, thanks to Hater’s Emotional Amplification, he doesn't actually need energy to fight and survive, so this was not a sufficient way to put him down or rise above his power. His Sonic Attacks are potent but don’t quite compare to Emperor Awesome’s planet busting tunes. Raptor could use Le Malta to BFR Hater, except Hater has his own dimensional travel, and furthermore could potentially seal shut Le Malta’s hell gate to prevent Raptor’s dimensional travel. Hater could be in trouble if bombarded by a lot of Raptor’s blade attacks, but he has a pretty decent healing factor and again can do a good job keeping out of range, being able to match his teleportation and dimensional travel, as well as fly more reliably. Raptor could potentially manipulate him into calming down, but it is NOT easy to manipulate someone you're trying to kill into calming down mid fight to say the least.

With all that said Raptor only had two solid methods for killing Hater in an all out fight, that being His Soul Hax, and Le Malta’s matter manipulation. These abilities Hater has never shown resistance too and if used solidly should kill him in a single hit, but that's easier said than done because both of these abilities have to be performed in close range and Hater has a lot of potential barriers to prevent that. 

The first of which is Hater’s somewhat superior mobility and ability to bombard Raptor from interstellar distances. He can hit Raptor from so far out, it's questionable if Raptor can even find him due to lacking good enough super senses. But assuming he used illusions to clear that, Hater can also summon a forcefield around his body which is functionally impenetrable for this fight that he’d have to get by. But let's say he teleported inside of the force field, they’d still need to get by the powerful electrical cosmic energy aura that engulfs him while he's using his emotional amplification. That Aura is strong enough to fry at least Le Malta and seriously injure Raptor.

Furthermore, Hater gets an intelligence boost in this state, and we know he's no stranger to soul hax, knowing to avoid the soul stealing power of The Black Cube, and heck he even possesses a magic soul sucking orb in his weapons stock. So it's possible he’d know enough to even see the attack coming and do something to avoid it, such as teleport away and start it all over again.

So with that it’s clear it would be extremely difficult for Lord Raptor to Kill Hater, but how is it the other way around? Lord Raptor can absorb Lightning, but beyond his main defensive ability is his regeneration. This Regen is very impressive, likely more than Hater would haven been able to take out, but there was a finite amount of times he could have used it before he ran out of energy, so it's merely a delay tactic as Hater in his emotional state is definitely strong enough to vaporize Raptor’s body parts. Raptor also has Illusions that could assist him in his keepaway strategy but Hater ultimately had a way around even that with the most broken power here, Telekinesis. Thanks to Lord Hater’s Telekinesis, he would be able to telekinetically grab hold of Lord Raptor wherever he went and Force him to remain in long range, keeping him from effectively using any of his powers as he floats helplessly in mid air. This would work on Raptor even if his body was split up into pieces, as well as stop Le Malta from doing the same thing just by floating him at the same time. From their, Lord Hater could telekinetically crush his body, or rip him apart or make individual parts of his body explode until he can no longer regenerate back, and thats in addition to just blasting him with a super ultra god laser or closing Le Malta’s gate before banishing them to a pocket dimension while they are helpless to stop him.

The fight was extremely close but it looks like Raptor just couldn't rise to the occasion,

The Winner is Lord Hater.

  1. Great job Thor! You really meshed these two very differnet tones and moods for two very different series together as only someone who is an expert in cartoons, horror AND fighting games could do!

    WOY was a really good series and Darkstalkers was pretty cool I seem to recall from last time I looked into it. I think you picked a really great matchup with these two incedibly powerful undead creators of chaos. Hater is quite the goof, although can be very menancing when he needs to be. My favorite part of the fight in fact was Hater sarcastically asking Raptor what's wrong and saying he thought Raptor wanted to see something scary. It was a really great indicator of Hater's increase in seriousness and power as he got more enraged and reminded me of similar moments from WOY, as well as serving as a great shift in the dynamics of the fight.

    Speaking of which this fight really went back and forth a lot! I thought Hater definitely had this, before I started reading the fight but to be fair I didn't know how big an advantage Raptor's skill/intelligence was, and it definitely served him well in this fight even if he couldn't fully account for just how wild Hater's power level and abilities were.

    I was really impressed with your quantifications in this blog, I definitely didn't realize Darkstalkers got up to triple digit trillions c but that quadrillions c for WOY was arguably even more impressive. I know that black hole feat must have been really tricky to work given it's incredibly exaggerated nature and the difficulty of black hole feats in general. There's also the thing with Dominator blazing a galaxy which I know we disagreed on before, although at this point seems to just be support for such a high end-galactic feat! :)

    I think you did a really good job melding the cosmic powerset of Hater's with feats showing casual cosmic levels like forming and messing up constellations in the Makai Dimension with the more occult powers of Raptor with things like his illusions. Those two seem tricky to meld although both emphasize inhumanity, and I think for this fight in particular the continual references to their inhuman nature with their malleability and regeneration served really well to emphasize their inhumanity. I hadn't read about Raptor in a while but he definitely seems like a really cool otherwordly character. He seems neither clearly hero nor villain, although 100% rockstar rebel!

    You always do such an amazing job breathing life into these blogs, even when they are ironically about the dead. Throughout the entire blog I felt such a sense of the characters aura and how they feel intuitively. I felt touched especially at the end with the recreation of Hater's power of love scene on a lesser extent where he amped himself beyond Raptor.

    Looking forward to seeing an even more powerful, and more heroic skeleton in your next blog! I know you've been on this one for a while and I'm sure the results will be well worth it!

  2. This was awesome man! Another unexpected but cool matchup. With how hard it is to find fair matchups in versus debating, it’s a bit amazing to me that you were able to find two thematic characters from drastically different series and have their stats being as close as their were. Though maybe I shouldn’t be too surprised considering your seeming love and expert knowledge on both series.

    These two both seem like awesome characters in their own ways. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Lord Raptor as much as I did but the way he became a bit of an unlikely hero is pretty cool (also, his friendship with Le Malta is super wholesome I gotta say). Hater also seems to be a cool character. I do enjoy goofy villains trying to proof themselves. But despite his goofiness, he turned out to be a really powerful character! Again, it is a bit interesting despite their differences in personality and series tone, their stories and paths to redemption mirror each other really closely (which you highlighted really well)

    I appreciate the detailed explanations behind the characters’ stats; I think you justified the characters’ power level really well. The fight was epic and I loved the characters interactions (like when Hater commanded Raptor to stop being so cool lol). All the music in the fight were excellent choices, especially seeing good ol’ Terror Time in a spooky matchup (also appreciate the minor Hex Girls cameo). Excellent point about Hater having the range advantage; that definitely seems like it would give Hater better use of his powers in the fight. Overall, excellent job.

    I wasn’t expecting you to do a Marvel comic book character like Ghost Rider but that analysis should be really good!

  3. Dude, this blog rocks! I really couldn't resist saying that. I didn't know much of anything about either of these guys going in, but I can certainly say I do now thanks to you! Certainly didn't expect there to be so much in common between them other than the obvious skeletal “lord” rockers. They both have a cyclopean companion as you pointed out, they both had redemption arcs that showed they could be heroes, and both had their life plans turned upside down when a certain girl came into their lives.

    The backstories sections were excellent, I feel like I just watched their respective series in a fraction of the time! You made their personalities quite clear, and this would come back later in the blog to shine through in their dialogue and behavior during the fight. I also gotta praise your use of animated gifs to show off the combatants' various moves and powers; I especially like when you do this for fighting characters, so Lord Raptor's section was a real treat. The music tracks you used to create a score for the pre-fight analysis of each character were on point as usual, and they gave me a good feel for their personalities in a different way from reading about them. The ghoulishly jamming rock of Lord Raptor and the bombastic “I'M THE BAD GUY!” (love the cartoon villain feel) of Lord Hater's sound made some fantastic harmony as I read, and I thank you for that.

    Speaking of the music you used, I like how you use mostly music from their own series for the analysis, then mostly music that's not from DS/WoY for the fight itself. It's always impressive when you find tracks that match the tone of what's going on perfectly while coming from separate series, meaning they were never meant for these characters in the first place. You could make some sick AMVs I bet. The intro to the fight was awesome, I love the choice of venue (felt so natural) and how properly trashed it gets. Most of my favorite parts come from later in the fight, when things switch to Makai. I love the fight in the graveyard, the zombies made it so atmospheric! And it was a pretty clever tactic of Lord Raptor to disguise himself among them. Hater breaking the bone blade piercing him in half and then using part of it to bisect Lord Raptor was one of the coolest moves imo, and the most awe-inspiring was when he tapped into his rage and the bones attacking him disintegrated in mid-air as they grew toward him. Another favorite moment was Lord Raptor's final set of illusions starting with Le Malta being an illusion himself. That was so freakin' well set up throughout the fight with Raptor yelling for “LE MALTA!” repeatedly, enough that Lord Hater would think he was trying the tactic again only to switch out the lil guy with an illusion. Brilliant. The final clash where they were both powered up was raw energy, I loved it. At that point I was happy with any victor, I was just swept up in the literally electrifying atmosphere and enjoying the ride to the max.

    As for who won, I'm cool with your analysis and it made sense; I'm glad you spent so much time on it covering so many angles. That emotion amp is huge but I like that it's more than that; there's a lot of factors at play like range and defenses that push things into Hater's side of things. Another fine blog, and a worthy tribute to my favorite music genre! Rock on dude!

    P.S. Very excited for Ghostrider! I hear you're a fan and I've always wanted to see a proper analysis of him, as I've heard he's quite strong but I don't know how strong exactly. Plus he's so freaking cool! Er, hot? No homo lol, I'm talkin' temperature. One thing I hope you cover is exactly how hot that guy's head is.

  4. Just feel like bringing up that I've compared that Galaxy sucking Black Hole to be the size of a finger at about 1.905 centimeters, and the weight of 2.38692E+42 Kilograms (Which is 1.2 trillion times as massive as the sun), and that made it as dense as 1.2529763779528E+45 grams per cubic centimeter.
