User blog:Savage Samurai/Q&A: Weiss VS Mitsuru Trivia


 * There are 6 questions in relation to Weiss VS Mitsuru.
 * Since Mitsuru's story is finished and Weiss' is not, isn't this an unfair matchup considering Weiss' skill and power is still in a state of flux (5:20)? No. This isn't a problem unique to this matchup. A vast majority of comic characters have not finished their stories. The same can be said for many video game characters. On that note, there is always the possibility that Mitsuru's story could continue in the vein of a new Persona movie or maybe she's brought back into the focus of a future game. The Death Battle Curse has been made up specifically because of this problem (such as Goku getting a new movie and series after his respective episodes) As such they cannot afford to trip over this possibility when it occurs and simply have to focus on the characters as they are.
 * Why was Weiss' death not brutal (7:55)? One idea was that there was going to be actual damage amongst the combatants but it was scrapped due to animation limitations. Another reason for this is a brutal death just isn't in the same vein as the series being represented. Also the finishing move is Mitsuru's insta-kill move so Persona fans do know that she killed Weiss.
 * Why did you include the Persona Break when it is just a game mechanic from a spinoff game (12:20)? Said spinoff is still part of the main series canon and the Persona Break itself was featured in the anime/manga.
 * Is the time dilation ability an insta-kill move (13:05)? No, especially considering Mitsuru has a bunch of counters in the form of status effects and similar insta-kill moves.
 * How could Weiss even see Artemesia (14:00)? Artemesia is a Persona, not a Stand. They use different rules. Although it is implied that they are in P2, normal people have seen Mitsuru's Persona before and it's not important to the argument. Even if Weiss couldn't see Artemesia, that is just another point in Mitsuru's favor.
 * Boomstick killed the interns, does this mean Jocelyn is dead (16:25)? No fortunately, she still lives. Ben says that they could never risk Jocelyn because canonically she's the one who actually does all the work (17:30).
 * Ben does bring up how death battle fans were answering questions brought up by others and thanks them for it (13:00).
 * That line about Boomstick killing the interns was improvised as was the glasses that appeared over him (16:40).
 * None of the team who worked on Weiss VS Mitsuru worked on the Ruby VS Ragna DBX (18:50).
 * Miles and Kerry were allegedly fine with Weiss' death (20:55). If anything their complaints lied with how they pronounced Myrtenaster.
 * Ben notes that Krillin VS Saitama is a very popular matchup (56:50). They seem to be of the opinion that Saitama wins although Ben himself gives the benefit of the doubt to both sides.
