    Heracles: "A great and mighty hero with an inspiring backstory." Sun Wukong: "Built Different"
  • @NintenUnity
    "Marvel and DC have absurd writing" Meanwhile, mythology: "Hera's breast milk created the galaxy"
  • @Mr_Wholegrain
    Wukong: "How many layers of immortality are you on?" Heracles: "Like one right now, my dude." Wukong: "You are like little baby. Watch this."
  • @chiyue5676
    to add a bit of lore, the ruyi jingu bang was originally called the 定海神针, which directly translates to “godly needle that pins the sea” and upon its removal the entire sea turned to chaos
  • @raibyo
    Heracles: "I died and became a god and become immortal" Wukong: "You had to die to gain immortality? I gained it so many times and didn't die once."
  • @mingchen7704
    Just to clearify. Wukong’s final “god” form is literally name “the Buddha who wins every battle” this wasn’t a fight. This is a one sided slaughter.
  • Heracles, holding up the sky: I can hold up infinity! Wukong, carrying Sumiru on one shoulder and another mountain on the other: Infinity +1.
  • In every other mythology battle, Herc's hydra arrows would have been an instant win But against Wukong, each arrow would only kill one of his many immortalities and even then, there is a huge chance that a clone gets hit instead Herc simply doesn't have enough arrows to win this
  • @JaxBlade
    Spoilers but The fact that Monkey King has Over 9000+ levels of Immortality in a "Death Battle" had me wondering how this would reasonably go & I'm not surprised lmaooo
  • @OMGitsPriesT
    This is the most unfair episode ever. In a series called “death battle” they have Sun Wukong… an immortal being who fought the heavens and COULD NOT DIE vs Hercules a mf who died.
  • @omegagilgamesh
    "Like most Ancient Greek myths, Hercules' story begins by Zeus being...a total creep." Translation: half of all Ancient Greek Myths and tragedies were put in motion by Zeus being unable to keep it in his pants.
  • @ualnomis99
    Not sure if anyone else said this, but the staff isn't just some random, unwanted pillar. It was put there by one of China's great mythological kings that solved the flooding of the Yellow River. Without it, the seas instantly started raging. Honestly, I'm not sure how they fixed it afterwards.
  • Hercules was strong, but when you have a character based Taoism, Daoism, and Buddhism where stacking immortality is the least craziest or esoteric thing, you're on a whole different level of the divine.
  • @Scouthedog1
    This is definitely one of my favourite recent death battles. Looking at their original myths written centuries ago was such a great idea. I'm a big mythology fan so it was awesome to see although myths brought back into this versus setting. And the animation was Stella as well I love the ink effects and the fact they were literally fighting on a scroll. Really an excellent episode
  • I’m honestly impressed and surprised you guys gave Herc that much credit. When it comes to Sun Wu Kong he dogwalks just about any being
  • @danjudex2475
    Fun fact: there are some Buddhist temples that depict Heracles as the guardian of the first Buddha. Meaning this interaction is somewhat plausible.
  • Ok, whoever had the idea of doing a myth battle needs a raise, this was such a cool episode and there's so much potential for more matchups like these in the future.
  • @chefcook9030
    Heracles: Died in his lore Sun Wukong: Attained 10,000 layers of immortality in his lore ...Yeah I think I know how this one ends. 😊
  • @user-oo6fm1ye8e
    Heracles: I have 1 layer of immortality. you? Sun Wukong: R O O K I E N U M B E R S!!!!
  • R.I.P. Akira Toriyama. Without inspiration from Journey to the West, there wouldn't be Dragon Ball.
