Fun fact about this episode, the part in the bio that was supposed to say Bill Cipher’s real name flashes through a bunch of scrambled names very quickly. One of these happens to be “somhketogdeouc”, which is an anagram for theduckgoesmoo. You have been officially acknowledged in an episode of Death Battle.
"What is this show?" Arguably Disney's greatest. More than Disney, actually, as Gravity Falls often comes up when people talk about the best animated shows of all time.
@@goliathxanatos706yeah I agree, the sad thing is that it was before the internet's time. (I literally started watching RUclips via looking for videos of gargoyles) Yeah it was pre dmca takedowns and I watched the entire series on RUclips.
@@goliathxanatos706 honestly, that's one I need to give a chance some day. It aired when I was a kid, but I always ignored it in favor of other cartoons.
Chocolate Milk to be exact. In the two parter pilot episode of MLP:FiM Season 2, Return of Harmony, chocolate milk comes from chaotic pink clouds that rain it whenever Discord is loose in the episode
@@theduckgoesmoo As long as chaos exists Discord is virtually unkillable, So it's not unlikely that Discord would come back to life after he said "no" to death! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Something I embarrassingly didn't notice on my first watch: The yellow and purple texts in the analysis portion was Bill and Discord talking to the audience and each other. And yes, there was an ARG. Bill technically exists in our reality. Now THAT is a 4th wall break.
To explain the ending, Bill did manage to kill Discord, but Discord managed to trap him in the Nightmare Realm. So Discord ended up saving Equestria and his friends while screwing Bill over, but at the cost of his own life.
And even then, like the Terminator, he'll be back. As long as Chaos exists, and Bill would sure as hell raise it, he'll be reborn in time. It's no wonder why he's laughing at the end, death might hurt but knowing he pulled the wool over Bill's eyes like that probably took the sting out of it.
"I want them both to win!" Well, uh, wish granted sort of. Bill won the Death Battle by killing Discord, but Discord tricked him into being trapped back in the Nightmare Realm, thereby saving the MLP world like he set out to. (You can even see the exact moment he does it. After he uses that finger snap to bring them back from the puppet dimension, if you pay close attention to the background, you can see that the rift portal is suspiciously blue and not red like it was at the beginning.) In short, Bill might have just won the most pyrrhic victory in all of Death Battle. Also, the song is called "Discordant Decipher" and it's a bop. I highly recommend listening to it, even just on your own. It's basically Bill and Discord doing an Epic Rap Battle in the lyrics.
Just to clarify the scene since they cut it short, Discord didn't just drink the glass and leave the milk. He drank the glass and threw the chocolate milk over his shoulder, where it EXPLODED ON IMPACT WITH THE GROUND.
Bill won the battle, Discord won the war, but both are not gone forever. Didcord is the embodiment of Chaos and will eventually reform, and Bill will eventually escape the Nightmare realm. One of the popups clarified that unicorn hair itself isn't an actual weakness of Bill's, it's just an ingredient for a spell designed to protect against Bill and his powers. There are actual unicorns in Gravity Falls that they go to, and I doubt they were spared from Weirdmageddon. It's just the only one we call special attention to because there was an episode all about getting a hair from a unicorn.
'both are not gone forever' is a _really_ awkward way of wording that. Pretty sure it's also grammatically incorrect. It reads much better if you word it as 'neither are gone forever'.
Heres so info for you The end of the fight had Discord tricking Bill into returning to the Nightmare realm with the rift closing up. Followed by Bills dash to make it out, failing, and then erasing Discord as he laughs his ass off. Bill may have won, but Discord got the last laugh The song "Discordant Decipher" is a rap battle type song between Discord and Bill. The reversed portiin of it says something along the lines of "You know the song doesnt decide who wins right?" The next fight is the 3d poll winner, a fight between 2 Superpowered Protagonists from games that came out in 2009. Alex Mercer: Prototypes Shapeshifting Edgelord Cole Macgrath: Infamous' Electric-Powered Superhero
To explain the ending: Bill was able to kill Discord by destroying his spirit, but not before Discord tricked Bill into being trapped back into his home dimension. So, yeah, Bill, despite getting screwed over in the end, is still technically alive. One more thing. The references at 8:30 & 14:55 are towards Star Trek the Nex Generation as the actor who played Discord in MLP is John de Lancie, who in Stra Trek played an interdimensional reality warping being named Q who causes the main characters tons of problems. One more thing. "I think there were two Death Battles featuring My Little Pony, or just one." Correction, this marks the fourth MLP-related Death Battle. The other three are... Rainbow Dash vs. Starscream Pinkie Pie vs. Deadpool and Twilight Sparkle vs. Raven
Funny bit about this episode, around 3:12 Bill’s “Real Name” text is a bunch of anagramized names of prominent figures in the DEATH BATTLE community. I actually think your name is in there somewhere
Gravity Falls is a HIGH recommendation. We unfortunately just missed it in our childhood but DEAR GOD do I have respect for it as an adult show. It’s nothing short of outstanding. XD I chose to be too old for cartoons at the WORST TIME and I regret it. Now I’m an animation nerd and have no shame.
3:12 Fun Fact about this part, the ‘Real Name’ section is actually just the jumbled names of multiple people in the DB community, including one by the name of ‘somhketogdeouc’ Wonder who that is
8:32 "I don't get that?" Discord is voiced by the same actor who voices Q from Star Trek, another all power being that likes to mess with mortals. It must be his type-cast
This is a UNIQUE battle to say the least. Several interesting things though. 1. Discord is not dead. At least, by our definition. While his soul and body are destroyed, he will come back. Being the embodiment of chaos, something that always has and always will exist, comes with that perk. However, considering how long it takes, he effectively "lost" the match. 2. This is by a long-shot the most pyrrhic a victory has gotten on death battle. Bill won the fight but that's about it. Considering he's still trapped by the end of the episode, the info spread about him in the analysis, and the fact he's back in the nightmare realm, it's entirely possible Bill can't come back to our reality, at least in our lifetime. Even his "kill" isn't permanent due to point 1. 3. Cole versus Alex is a db matchup that has been LONG requested for over 10 years. Both are from a pseudo-superhero video game with very different abilities. Cole has some of the most varied electrical abilities in video game history and possibly some fire or ice tools. Alex is essentially what happens when you combine Carnage with The Thing from John Carpenter's movie. Another interesting point is that neither game has had a release in quite some time. The most recent games for either series has been Infamous Second Son which was in 2014. Prototype died with it's (underrated) sequel. I'm personally rooting and betting Alex.
@@AmericanBrit9834 not really no. From what I've seen people say it's a stomp because he beat the beast who could nuke city's and in the future blew up the moon
Bill is the quintessential Chaotic Evil, while Discord is more "Chaotic? Yes." Discord doesn't have the killer instinct that Bill does, especially after reforming. So yeah, they made a good call on this one.
I've gotta say, this was probably their best battle in a while. I'd probably agree that Discord loses it by being too carefree, but the fact that he tricks Bill back into the Nightmare Realm and seals him in is good enough for me.
8:32 The voice actor for Discord is John de Lancie, who played the character Q in the Star Trek franchise starting from Star Trek the Next Generation and subsequently showed up in several more series afterwards. This is what they mean when they talk about "My Captain" sort of way, as he tended to annoy the captains of the ships in each series starting with Jean-Luc Picard. Both Discord and Q share a chaotic energy as well as a chaotic personality. 😂
best part is right here 16:19 you can see Discord's note he wrote at the start of the fight, on the ground. Discord knew he might lose... so his actual plan was boot Bill out of their reality at the very least.
For clarification, Dipper is not his real name. I don't think his real name is ever said in the show. He got the nickname "Dipper" as he has a birthmark that looks like the constellation.
14:58 Bill told Discord to, "Tell Jean-Luc his show is worse than Code of Honor." This is a reference to the fact that Discord's VA, John de Lancie, also plays Q from Star Trek.
I feel good about this battle. Bill may have won the battle, but Discord lost as a hero, sending Bill back to where he came from, the gate closing behind them both.
I love this Ending, having Discord die a Hero, a more respectful end than what they usually give their Losers. By the way, highly recommend checking out these Shows, they are quite well done, also yes Gravity Falls is Disney.
The song for this battle was called Discordant Decipher. Id love to see a series of you reacting to DB tracks themselves, maybe try and guess which episodes they were from as a game or something. Outside of that, this battle was a masterpiece. I loved every second of it, and the community is heralding it as a top 5 episode of the entire show.
Honestly you and your friend would have a blast watching Gravity Falls. One of the funny parts about this episode before the fight is that Discord and Bill were speaking to each other during their analysis.
Some of the easter eggs in this battle point towards future match-ups. All that I've found so far: You can see Sans and what looks like The Judge's head in one shot, so Sans vs Judge is probably confirmed, which isn't surprising considering how much people seem to want that match-up. You also see pony versions of Rick Sanchez and The Doctor fighting in the background of one scene, so that's another super popular match-up that's seemingly confirmed. When the animation style switches to Rubberhose, you see Bendy and Cuphead in the background, which could either be pointing to the prior DBX or signaling this will become a full battle. You see a witch hat with a sword through it, which definitely points to Luz vs Anne, especially since they've already done a Death Battle Cast on it. You see Columbo both as a pony in the battle and in the reflection of Bill's eye in his jumpscare at the end of the recap, so we're definitely getting a Columbo battle, most likely Columbo vs Light Yagami considering how much Death Battle Staff Member Liam Swan has vocally been in favor of that one.
@@captainmarvelous7673They could also be fucking with us. Or throwing in random references as a way of hiding easter eggs in the episode, since that's kinda a big thing for both characters. Especially considering Luz vs Anne is on the new champions poll. Meaning it's confirmed to not be happening this season.
We can simply say that both had the same probability of winning, but they chose the most epic way they could think of, it's best not to compare them because they are from different series.
This really was a Chaotic Death Battle and I Love It, in the End There’s not a Winner or Loser, yes Bill was too OP and did the Final Blow but Discord separated him from the Pony Realm Forever, a Heroic Sacrifice if you ask Me, at least the Fight was Fun and Hilarious with Chaotic Weirdest and a Amazing Song.
6:44 "What is this show?" One of the greatest cartoons of all time. It's kinda like early Supernatural (before demons/angels) but in cartoon form, with the main villain being a nightmare demon of pure chaos. It's targeted to a younger audience, but I didn't see it until well into my adulthood and I love it. It only has 2 seasons, and ended on a really high note. I'm sure the executives wanted it to keep going because of how popular it was, but the show runners told the entire story they wanted to.
Mlp is full of earth ponies (regular ponies), unicorns (ponies with magical horns), Pegasus (ponies with wings), and alicorns (mix of all three and are royalty)
To answer your question about who those two for the next DB are: They are the main "protagonist" of the PS3/XBOX 360 era games; InFamous and Prototype. 2 original super hero games that came out during the 7th generation of consoles. InFamous being about Cole MacGrath who gets powers over electricity (like static shock), and Prototype being about "Alex Mercer" who had shapeshifting powers and the ability to "consume" other people to gain their likeness and memories. Both games came out around the same time (InFamous for the PS3, and Prototype for the 360) and have since been compared to each other.
Discord lost the battle but won the war. Discord tricked Bill sending him back into the Nightmare Realm where he would be trapped once again saving Equestria from Weirdmagedon at the cost of his life. Did you finish Attack on Titans? Cause you still got Blake Vs Mikasa Deathbattle, see if Kirby wants to see she’s a fan of both series.
On Bill’s background page, where it lists his real name as a glitch of jumbled letters, it actually says the names of prominent members in the Death Battle community. And even cooler, Duck is listed as one of them! (It’s hard to find, but I found him at 1:43 in the original video)
You usually never get any references, you literally say you've never eaten a cherry, yet you are the ONLY person I've seen that got the "Weird Day" joke. How.
The battle where both characters won. Bill did indeed kill Discord and won the fight, but Discord sacrificed himself to save the MLP world/universe by trapping Bill back in his own home. You can actually tell when Discord does it after the hand puppet finger snap here at 14:53 because compared to how the landscape looked at the start of the fight, it looks different in the 2nd half. Tieing into Bill having tunnel vision of trying to kill Discord that he doesn't realize he's in an illusion It's safe to say that they went all out on this fight, which makes sense since that's what the community voted for. Now, we have to wait and see if they can pull off another incredible fight next time with the 3D poll winner Cole Macgrath vs. Alex Mercer (Still a little salty that Kratos vs. Asura didn't win but oh well). Also, same boat where I knew nothing about these shows except hearing that Gravity Falls is a banger show, so maybe one day
In a way of looking at things they did both win, Bill won the Death Battle by destroying Discord (at least for the moment) and Discord won in a sense that he did what he set out to do, which is to save his friends, and upstage his rival, which he did by sealing him away and essentially getting the last laugh in spite of his defeat
Ngl, if you do ever get to react to Gravity Falls, I suggest bringing Kirby along for the ride. I personally think you will both really enjoy it. Unless she has seen it before, then bringing her along for the ride would be a fun twist on your normal way of showing her stuff you have seen where you get to watch something she has seen 😋
The narrative of this death battle was Bill Cipher ws attempting to take over the world of MLP. Discord was able to trick him to going back into his own world, saving his pony friends. So Bill won the death battle, but Discord saved his world before losing. Hope that clears up the ending
@12:33 this show is alot cooler then you'd know, if people would give it a chance they may end up likeing it. its like dbz meets animal crossing but with lessons for kids. it starts off slow but by the end of season 5 things go full ass dbz. they are firing nuke sized lazer beams. [edit the tirek fight is one of my favorites]
the ending is best explained as "bill won the poll" but only by a few votes, so they could take liberties with discord trapping bill. it was a case of "bill won the battle" "but discord won the war" by choosing to fight discord bill became so blinded by his fight he didn't see discord was setting things up from the start to trap bill again. did bill win the death battle yes, but discord got the last laugh and made bill look like a punchline to a bad joke.
this fight is in my top 10 at number 2 for how well it plays off of both characters. they both act like they are ripped straight from the shows they came from.
This autoplay experiment is getting quite intriguing! We’ve gone from Flex Tape to Lucky Bags, then to a Japanese internet café, and now into cartoon theories involving children’s fates-specifically a Gravity Falls theory. Interestingly, the next two videos stayed within the Gravity Falls universe, and somehow, ponies got thrown into the mix. This journey is shaping up to be a fascinating roller coaster! On a side note, I’d love to watch you do a series where you explore the history of animation, similar to Animation Pilgrimage. It would involve deep dives and reviews of animated films and shows, such as Gravity Falls and My Little Pony (reactions included-because, let’s be honest, when are the My Little Pony reactions happening?).
I love this battle so much, easily one of my all time favorites. We've said it before, but Gravity Falls is like Supernatural for a younger audience, made by the Disney channel. You might like it but it's pretty scary!
Hm: * Why is his name Bill Cipher? His assumed alias is a good ol' boy riff on "Lou Cipher", a common "yes, obviously I'm Lucifer but we're being coy". (Luci Fair is a more recent alternative.) * "Mon capitan": Discord shares a voice actor with Q from Star Trek, and both characters are fourth-wall aware enough to realize this and make jokes about it. Everything else seems to have been answered elsewhere here.
Disney shows are really story oriented. This show being the most popular over a decade after it ended. Other story heavy Disney shows include Amphibia and The Owl House where no joke the main characters become the next candidate for god and a demon witch queen respectively.
Tons of people have done gravity Falls reactions so as long as you put some sort of filter or something over the footage of the show, you should be absolutely fine
There are so many references and Easter eggs it'd be impossible to list them all, so I'll only list a few. Despite losing the poll to Bill Vs Discord in the poll, Fall Guys Vs Among Us was referenced twice, in the end of that claymation shot (which is a reference to Macho Man Vs Kool Aid Man btw, down to them both in the background of the shot) Bill turns into the Imposter, and in the first shot of them as puppets, there are Fall Guys and Among Us plushies on the far right just staring at Bill and Discord, the Bill Vs Discord fans thought they destroyed Fall Guys Vs Among Us but all they did was postpone it, Fall Guys Vs Among Us is inevitable. There are references to other matchups as well. If you look closely when Bill is playing drums, you can find Sans from Undertale and The Judge from Off standing next to the crash symbol, and later in the shot you can briefly see The Doctor from Doctor Who fighting Rick Sanchez from Rick And Morty. There are so many references to members of the community, some show up in the fight and some have their names spelled out in the madness that is Bill's true name, there's too many to bring up so I'll just bring up Biff Weed's car pfp is shown flying around In a couple shots because he's undoubtedly the reason why Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda shows up in Bill's analysis. Speaking of the ballot, for this year they're doing things differently, instead of having 2 polls with 6 matchups each, there's gonna be a massive tournament starting from yesterday, 4 matchups have been introduced and RUclips members have a week to vote, the winner of that will move on to the semi finals, this process will repeat an additional 7 times (meaning 32 matchups are in this tournament) then on week 9, the winners from weeks 1-4 will compete to be in the finals, and the winners from weeks 5-8 will compete in week 10, and in week 11 the winners of weeks 9 and 10 will compete in the finals, 32 matchups enter, only 1 shall win. Who's gonna win? I don't know, like I said this only started yesterday so only the first 4 matchups have been revealed so far, but going off of who's winning that poll at the moment, Monokuma Vs Koro Sensei currently has the lead, I highly recommend checking out both of their series by the way, Danganronpa is a great game series and Monokuma is a very entertaining villain, and Assassination Classroom is one of my favourite animes and I'm pretty sure Koro Sensei would become one of your favourite anime characters.
Discord wrote the letter seen on the ground by the ponys at the beginning of the battle. And after he snapped his fingers all the living creatures disappeared and the colors of the portal changed to the colors of Equestria, that was when he pulled Bill and himself to the Nightmare Realm. He knew from the start it was hopeless and that all he could do was trap Bill and save his friends and he wrote the letter to say goodbye (and to piss off Bill, who *did* indeed learn a lesson about friendship).
Despite My little Pony being a kids show, it is really good, definitely worth a bit of a watch, specially the 4th one called friendship is magic. Not many would judge you.
"Would you like to make a deal? NO! I would NOT like to make a deal with you!" _"Alright. *Deal*."_ "wait wha-" Gets possessed because a deal to NOT HAVE A DEAL is still a deal. WORDING BRO! 😛
you know Bill cipher may have won the battle, but discord’s real goal was never defeating bill, it was saving his world and his friends like Fluttershy… I give discord full respect for his sacrifice
"Was there an ARG for it?" Yes actually! It was an international scavenger hunt spreading clues across the globe... that took the Gravity Falls fandom exactly 13 days to complete, lol. It was then removed by authorities due to a property dispute, but is now held at a roadside attraction in California for anyone to see. The community was really dedicated to the mysteries in the show and out of it.
Well it is fair bc discord CAN be killed but bill cipher CAN'T be killed but he CAN'T travel between dimensions and discord CAN travel between dimensions but the most probable outcome is that fiscord would just have teleported bill to his fimention or some pocket dimention and go back to his :v
I love the nod to Star Trek. The Q snap and Jean Luc reference. Since it is John de Lancie, who played Q, who’s voices Discord. Really the best animated role for him. My Little Pony uses the Q snap on some occasions as well. This was a great fight. One of my favorites from Death Battle.
My Favorite Death Battle of the Season, Top 5 of all time So to explain that ending, during their fight Discord was able to get him and Bill back to Bill's home/prison dimension taking advantage of Bill's "tunnel vision" as DB called it. It was only until it was too late that Bill realized what happened and couldn't return to the "my little pony universe" that he was conquering in the beginning, and I rage Bill just crushed Discord's soul. In the end Bill May have won the Battle, but Discord won the "war" by saving his home and friends from Bill trapping him back from wense he came
o yeah cool thing. there was a BILL statue hidden in the real world. a real world treasure hunt was started. with the statue holding a secret message from the maker. took awhile but people eventually found it. and the guy even shook the statues hand. oh no. edit: the tape said something like hey dipper mabel foos and uncle here. and it ended with : shake my hand old pal will ya? but it sounded VERY bill cipher.
You know its funny. Ben Singer has been quoted on many occasions that the best episodes that illustrate what Death Battle is all about, is the My Little Pony ones. Because what better way to advertise your show by taking a traditionally harmless and child friendly concept, look at all the gratuitous violence within it and put said characters in a fight to the death? I agree with him. Because when you think "Death Battle", your mind doesn't automatically go to My Little Pony. Yet it works cause its exactly what the show's about. Serendipitous if you ask me.
Bill was si powerful, in the production studio they had a whiteboard that said "how do i kill god" cause he was so powerful they had no idea how to kill him
2:31 Let me explain for you Kyle, Mayberry is a reference to the Andy Griffith Show, which is an American classic sitcom and Twin Peaks is a reference to the 90s series that inspired Gravity Falls, called Twin Peaks which is a detective murder mystery gone completely wrong. Twin Peaks is mostly popular for being weird to say the least. I would say its a really good show (excluding the second half of seaosn 2) Just letting you in on some information
To sum up what happened. Two immortal chaos gods fought. Bill won because in the show he goes for the kill when it comes to fellow gods. To humans he holds back because he thinks we're a joke. Discord just got so lazy that he doesn't see ANYTHING as a threat. They fight and discord annoys bill so much he distracts bill enough lurking and trapping him in the nightmare realm basically bills prison. Bill destroys his soul but gets trapped again.
14:53 "Tell Jean-Luc his show is worse than Code of Honor". I think others in the comments mention Discord's voice actor and he played Q who is a god-like being that likes to troll the crew. Jean-Luc Picard, the captain of Star Trek: The Next Generation got a new show recently and I haven't seen it yet. Code of Honor the 4th episode of the show and it was consider one of the worse episodes of all time and called racist. All the cast and crew hated it. The plot is they landed on a planet that looks like old African tribe and their leader forcibly try to make one of the female crewmembers his wife. Despite how well beloved The Next Generation is, it didn't get a good 1st or 2nd season and I always try to bring up the show's rough beginnings whenever I see my friends who judged a TV show way too early.
I love this episode the set and tone of the fight fit these characters so well, and there’s so many little blink and you’ll miss it moments in the background you’d have to look frame by frame, references to community members names in the Bill analysis segment, Discord and Bill arguing in the text Discord writing in purple cursive and Bill with bold yellow font. The Claymation has Macho Man and Kool aid man fighting in the background and Bill turns into a imposter crew mate from Amoung Us, the old timey animation has cuphead and bendy in the background. And lots more details the animation team really went all out with this fight.
Okay, so. The battle started in Equestria, aka ponyland. The world there was conquered, and Bill was creating a throne out of the toys that were the people there and the banners were the Mane 6 of the show trapped inside. Discord writes a letter and attacks Bill. They have a fight, but get teleported out through 'weird' means. Then discord snaps and a portal opens sending them to a FAKE Equestria (the weirdness is gone) and when Discord proposes a different game, Bill destroys the body, to which Discord gets serious. He invades Bill's mind and sets it on fire to destroy it, just like being trapped in a dying mind killed him before. Bill literally reaches into his mind and rips discord out, but Discord had already won. When the illusion of the fake equestria disappears, it's revealed Bill is stuck in the Nightmare Realm again. We see the portal with a restored Equestria and the note Discord was writing in the ground in front of Fluttershy. Bill tries to rush the portal, but it shuts. Bill won the fight with discord, but it was such a pyrrhic victory, it would almost be better to lose. Also, fun fact, Discord won't stay dead.
Bill Cipher. Killed everyone in his home dimension. Does anything that will make you uncomfortable. Looks to conquer our dimension. *Duck:* Is he a bad guy? _"Stanford Pines, who traveled the multiverse looking for a way to defeat Bill Cipher."_ *Duck:* Oh, so he's a bad guy. *Boomstick:* His mind can view an infinite kaleidoscope of possibilities all at once! *Duck:* But does he wink or does he blink?
Fun fact about this episode, the part in the bio that was supposed to say Bill Cipher’s real name flashes through a bunch of scrambled names very quickly. One of these happens to be “somhketogdeouc”, which is an anagram for theduckgoesmoo.
You have been officially acknowledged in an episode of Death Battle.
That's because bill cipher is every thing he sees you through the money,The signs, the girls restroom and youtube
"What is this show?" Arguably Disney's greatest. More than Disney, actually, as Gravity Falls often comes up when people talk about the best animated shows of all time.
‘Tis true
Gargoyles is the best Disney show in my opinion. Themes and topics in that are more relatable and hard-hitting.
@@goliathxanatos706 Yes! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES WITH ME!
@@goliathxanatos706yeah I agree, the sad thing is that it was before the internet's time. (I literally started watching RUclips via looking for videos of gargoyles)

And the explosion is dark. Figure _that_ one out. >^_^

@@phibbykaden Just like with Pinkie Pie, we don't question it
Chocolate Milk to be exact.
In the two parter pilot episode of MLP:FiM Season 2, Return of Harmony, chocolate milk comes from chaotic pink clouds that rain it whenever Discord is loose in the episode
@@theduckgoesmoo As long as chaos exists Discord is virtually unkillable, So it's not unlikely that Discord would come back to life after he said "no" to death! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Something I embarrassingly didn't notice on my first watch: The yellow and purple texts in the analysis portion was Bill and Discord talking to the audience and each other.
And yes, there was an ARG. Bill technically exists in our reality. Now THAT is a 4th wall break.
Also when they were talking about Bill’s real name the changing texts were anagrams for creators including myself!
In Canon, Bill possessed the gravity falls creator once, so yes, he is canon to Reality in the show.
To explain the ending, Bill did manage to kill Discord, but Discord managed to trap him in the Nightmare Realm. So Discord ended up saving Equestria and his friends while screwing Bill over, but at the cost of his own life.
And even then, like the Terminator, he'll be back. As long as Chaos exists, and Bill would sure as hell raise it, he'll be reborn in time. It's no wonder why he's laughing at the end, death might hurt but knowing he pulled the wool over Bill's eyes like that probably took the sting out of it.
He may have lost, but he went out like a hero
@kirinbobarcana depends on your definition of 'lost'.
I don't think Discord feels like a loser here.
@@LordTyph same with bill
So, technically, it's a tie
"I want them both to win!"
Well, uh, wish granted sort of. Bill won the Death Battle by killing Discord, but Discord tricked him into being trapped back in the Nightmare Realm, thereby saving the MLP world like he set out to. (You can even see the exact moment he does it. After he uses that finger snap to bring them back from the puppet dimension, if you pay close attention to the background, you can see that the rift portal is suspiciously blue and not red like it was at the beginning.) In short, Bill might have just won the most pyrrhic victory in all of Death Battle.
Also, the song is called "Discordant Decipher" and it's a bop. I highly recommend listening to it, even just on your own. It's basically Bill and Discord doing an Epic Rap Battle in the lyrics.
Just to clarify the scene since they cut it short, Discord didn't just drink the glass and leave the milk. He drank the glass and threw the chocolate milk over his shoulder, where it EXPLODED ON IMPACT WITH THE GROUND.
And it produced a flash of DARK, not light.
@@YourLocalMairaaboo Thanks, I actually forgot that detail!
Bill won the battle, Discord won the war, but both are not gone forever. Didcord is the embodiment of Chaos and will eventually reform, and Bill will eventually escape the Nightmare realm.
One of the popups clarified that unicorn hair itself isn't an actual weakness of Bill's, it's just an ingredient for a spell designed to protect against Bill and his powers. There are actual unicorns in Gravity Falls that they go to, and I doubt they were spared from Weirdmageddon. It's just the only one we call special attention to because there was an episode all about getting a hair from a unicorn.
exactly my thoughts.
Plus they needed more than unicorn hair to make the spell. And Bill rules over the nightmare realm so he can leave it right now.
'both are not gone forever' is a _really_ awkward way of wording that. Pretty sure it's also grammatically incorrect. It reads much better if you word it as 'neither are gone forever'.
@@jackeyesteon9427 No, the entire point is that he CAN'T leave the Nightmare Realm whenever he wants.
@@marmyeater he isn't trapped in the nightmare realm.
Heres so info for you
The end of the fight had Discord tricking Bill into returning to the Nightmare realm with the rift closing up. Followed by Bills dash to make it out, failing, and then erasing Discord as he laughs his ass off. Bill may have won, but Discord got the last laugh
The song "Discordant Decipher" is a rap battle type song between Discord and Bill. The reversed portiin of it says something along the lines of "You know the song doesnt decide who wins right?"
The next fight is the 3d poll winner, a fight between 2 Superpowered Protagonists from games that came out in 2009.
Alex Mercer: Prototypes Shapeshifting Edgelord
Cole Macgrath: Infamous' Electric-Powered Superhero
Discord also got the last scream too
This battle was so perfect even the ending
@@jackeyesteon9427 nah that was bill
( like literally right after he killed discord he screamed )
@@theduckgoesmooDiscord heroic sacrifice kinda in it own way mirror stanley pine heroic sacrifice
This ending was so in character for Discord. He is an unpredictable and devious strategist and trickster. Even if he loses, he still wins.
Bill is kinda a scary dorito. Gravity falls really pushed the limits of what you can and can't do to horrify children with Bill.
Ancient sins
"But can he fix RUclips's copyright system?" If anything, he'd intentionally make it worse just to fuck with us.
Yeah, sounds like something he'd do. Though I imagine he'd probably get annoyed if it kept others from seeing him directly.
@@phibbykaden Actually he'd probably mess with the algorithm so that every video was about him
Let's be honest, he probably WROTE RUclips's copyright system.
To explain the ending: Bill was able to kill Discord by destroying his spirit, but not before Discord tricked Bill into being trapped back into his home dimension. So, yeah, Bill, despite getting screwed over in the end, is still technically alive.
One more thing. The references at 8:30 & 14:55 are towards Star Trek the Nex Generation as the actor who played Discord in MLP is John de Lancie, who in Stra Trek played an interdimensional reality warping being named Q who causes the main characters tons of problems.
One more thing. "I think there were two Death Battles featuring My Little Pony, or just one." Correction, this marks the fourth MLP-related Death Battle. The other three are...
Rainbow Dash vs. Starscream
Pinkie Pie vs. Deadpool
and Twilight Sparkle vs. Raven
also discord cant die as long as chaos exists he can always come back
@@teddy3444not to mention the fact that Discord can break out of the nightmare realm on his own while Bill can't

Funny bit about this episode, around 3:12 Bill’s “Real Name” text is a bunch of anagramized names of prominent figures in the DEATH BATTLE community. I actually think your name is in there somewhere
It is!! It’s the name that starts like “som….” It’s an anagram of theduckgoesmoo
@@theduckgoesmooI think I saw your name when I slowed it down and zoomed in on the name the bottom or top half was missing and it was reversed
Gravity Falls is a HIGH recommendation. We unfortunately just missed it in our childhood but DEAR GOD do I have respect for it as an adult show. It’s nothing short of outstanding.
XD I chose to be too old for cartoons at the WORST TIME and I regret it. Now I’m an animation nerd and have no shame.
3:12 Fun Fact about this part, the ‘Real Name’ section is actually just the jumbled names of multiple people in the DB community, including one by the name of ‘somhketogdeouc’
Wonder who that is
OH, he made it to a Death Battle Episode. That's awesome!
Wait duck made it into DB? That's awesome!
8:32 "I don't get that?" Discord is voiced by the same actor who voices Q from Star Trek, another all power being that likes to mess with mortals. It must be his type-cast
They literally based Discord off Q so they wanted the same actor to voice him.
Never mind, I thought you were asking the question I didn't realize Duck did. 😅
Fun fact, Discord does a Q snap in this battle
This is a UNIQUE battle to say the least. Several interesting things though.
1. Discord is not dead. At least, by our definition. While his soul and body are destroyed, he will come back. Being the embodiment of chaos, something that always has and always will exist, comes with that perk. However, considering how long it takes, he effectively "lost" the match.
2. This is by a long-shot the most pyrrhic a victory has gotten on death battle. Bill won the fight but that's about it. Considering he's still trapped by the end of the episode, the info spread about him in the analysis, and the fact he's back in the nightmare realm, it's entirely possible Bill can't come back to our reality, at least in our lifetime. Even his "kill" isn't permanent due to point 1.
3. Cole versus Alex is a db matchup that has been LONG requested for over 10 years. Both are from a pseudo-superhero video game with very different abilities. Cole has some of the most varied electrical abilities in video game history and possibly some fire or ice tools. Alex is essentially what happens when you combine Carnage with The Thing from John Carpenter's movie. Another interesting point is that neither game has had a release in quite some time. The most recent games for either series has been Infamous Second Son which was in 2014. Prototype died with it's (underrated) sequel. I'm personally rooting and betting Alex.
From what I know about the two, I think Cole has more raw power, but Alex is basically an ocean of infinitely regenerating flesh
I’ve actually heard that this is a stomp in Cole’s favor.
@@muffetmissulena6540 I like cole but does he have any nuclear feats? I legitimately don’t know.
@@AmericanBrit9834 not really no. From what I've seen people say it's a stomp because he beat the beast who could nuke city's and in the future blew up the moon
@@chrismanning2888 Possibly, it's tricky though because Mercer has nuclear survival feats and has an instakill in the consume attack.
Bill is the quintessential Chaotic Evil, while Discord is more "Chaotic? Yes." Discord doesn't have the killer instinct that Bill does, especially after reforming. So yeah, they made a good call on this one.
And while Discord can be dangerous when he decides to stop fucking around, that’s not normally the case.
I've gotta say, this was probably their best battle in a while. I'd probably agree that Discord loses it by being too carefree, but the fact that he tricks Bill back into the Nightmare Realm and seals him in is good enough for me.
It look like this goose couldn’t decipher this discord lol
Let’s put it this way. Bill probably could fix RUclips’s copyright system.
_But he’s the one who made it in the first place._
8:32
The voice actor for Discord is John de Lancie, who played the character Q in the Star Trek franchise starting from Star Trek the Next Generation and subsequently showed up in several more series afterwards. This is what they mean when they talk about "My Captain" sort of way, as he tended to annoy the captains of the ships in each series starting with Jean-Luc Picard. Both Discord and Q share a chaotic energy as well as a chaotic personality. 😂
best part is right here 16:19
you can see Discord's note he wrote at the start of the fight, on the ground. Discord knew he might lose... so his actual plan was boot Bill out of their reality at the very least.
For clarification, Dipper is not his real name. I don't think his real name is ever said in the show. He got the nickname "Dipper" as he has a birthmark that looks like the constellation.
Dipper's real name was indeed never said in the show, but creators confirmed, his real name is "Mason".
Seriously
They named him after the Freemasons didn’t they
Dipper's real name is Mason
14:58 Bill told Discord to, "Tell Jean-Luc his show is worse than Code of Honor." This is a reference to the fact that Discord's VA, John de Lancie, also plays Q from Star Trek.
Duck: "Not sure if I should tempt the mouse."
Bill: "WANNA MAKE A DEAL?"
Asuna voice NoooOooOoo
I feel good about this battle.
Bill may have won the battle, but Discord lost as a hero, sending Bill back to where he came from, the gate closing behind them both.
I love this Ending, having Discord die a Hero, a more respectful end than what they usually give their Losers.
By the way, highly recommend checking out these Shows, they are quite well done, also yes Gravity Falls is Disney.
The song for this battle was called Discordant Decipher. Id love to see a series of you reacting to DB tracks themselves, maybe try and guess which episodes they were from as a game or something.
Outside of that, this battle was a masterpiece. I loved every second of it, and the community is heralding it as a top 5 episode of the entire show.
Yeah I agree with you death battles osts are amazing ❤
Honestly you and your friend would have a blast watching Gravity Falls.
One of the funny parts about this episode before the fight is that Discord and Bill were speaking to each other during their analysis.
Some of the easter eggs in this battle point towards future match-ups. All that I've found so far: You can see Sans and what looks like The Judge's head in one shot, so Sans vs Judge is probably confirmed, which isn't surprising considering how much people seem to want that match-up. You also see pony versions of Rick Sanchez and The Doctor fighting in the background of one scene, so that's another super popular match-up that's seemingly confirmed. When the animation style switches to Rubberhose, you see Bendy and Cuphead in the background, which could either be pointing to the prior DBX or signaling this will become a full battle. You see a witch hat with a sword through it, which definitely points to Luz vs Anne, especially since they've already done a Death Battle Cast on it. You see Columbo both as a pony in the battle and in the reflection of Bill's eye in his jumpscare at the end of the recap, so we're definitely getting a Columbo battle, most likely Columbo vs Light Yagami considering how much Death Battle Staff Member Liam Swan has vocally been in favor of that one.
Who’s Columbo?
@@theduckgoesmooIt’s an old crime detective show that aired from the late 70’s to 90’s albeit infrequently iirc
@@captainmarvelous7673They could also be fucking with us. Or throwing in random references as a way of hiding easter eggs in the episode, since that's kinda a big thing for both characters. Especially considering Luz vs Anne is on the new champions poll. Meaning it's confirmed to not be happening this season.
@@redraven123 Wrong reply, I was just explaining what Columbo was.
We can simply say that both had the same probability of winning, but they chose the most epic way they could think of, it's best not to compare them because they are from different series.
If you don't know why he lost to Sans, there was a Tumblr Sexiest Man Tournament and Sans won.
Reigen Arataka from Mob Psycho 100 and Ingo from Pokémon were some other high ranking sexymen as well
This really was a Chaotic Death Battle and I Love It, in the End There’s not a Winner or Loser, yes Bill was too OP and did the Final Blow but Discord separated him from the Pony Realm Forever, a Heroic Sacrifice if you ask Me, at least the Fight was Fun and Hilarious with Chaotic Weirdest and a Amazing Song.
6:44 "What is this show?" One of the greatest cartoons of all time. It's kinda like early Supernatural (before demons/angels) but in cartoon form, with the main villain being a nightmare demon of pure chaos. It's targeted to a younger audience, but I didn't see it until well into my adulthood and I love it. It only has 2 seasons, and ended on a really high note. I'm sure the executives wanted it to keep going because of how popular it was, but the show runners told the entire story they wanted to.
Mlp is full of earth ponies (regular ponies), unicorns (ponies with magical horns), Pegasus (ponies with wings), and alicorns (mix of all three and are royalty)
To answer your question about who those two for the next DB are: They are the main "protagonist" of the PS3/XBOX 360 era games; InFamous and Prototype.
2 original super hero games that came out during the 7th generation of consoles. InFamous being about Cole MacGrath who gets powers over electricity (like static shock), and Prototype being about "Alex Mercer" who had shapeshifting powers and the ability to "consume" other people to gain their likeness and memories.
Both games came out around the same time (InFamous for the PS3, and Prototype for the 360) and have since been compared to each other.
So basically at the end of the fight, Discord trapped Bill back in his dimension. This is Death Battle’s way of not wanting another Deadpool lol
Oh that makes a ton of sense now
Discord lost the battle but won the war. Discord tricked Bill sending him back into the Nightmare Realm where he would be trapped once again saving Equestria from Weirdmagedon at the cost of his life.
Did you finish Attack on Titans? Cause you still got Blake Vs Mikasa Deathbattle, see if Kirby wants to see she’s a fan of both series.
"What is this show?!"
It's amazing, and I highly recommend watching it!
On Bill’s background page, where it lists his real name as a glitch of jumbled letters, it actually says the names of prominent members in the Death Battle community. And even cooler, Duck is listed as one of them! (It’s hard to find, but I found him at 1:43 in the original video)
You usually never get any references, you literally say you've never eaten a cherry, yet you are the ONLY person I've seen that got the "Weird Day" joke. How.
Because I’m *special*
17:11 didn't you say you were picking Discord though? so technically it's a loss
The battle where both characters won. Bill did indeed kill Discord and won the fight, but Discord sacrificed himself to save the MLP world/universe by trapping Bill back in his own home. You can actually tell when Discord does it after the hand puppet finger snap here at 14:53 because compared to how the landscape looked at the start of the fight, it looks different in the 2nd half. Tieing into Bill having tunnel vision of trying to kill Discord that he doesn't realize he's in an illusion
It's safe to say that they went all out on this fight, which makes sense since that's what the community voted for. Now, we have to wait and see if they can pull off another incredible fight next time with the 3D poll winner Cole Macgrath vs. Alex Mercer (Still a little salty that Kratos vs. Asura didn't win but oh well). Also, same boat where I knew nothing about these shows except hearing that Gravity Falls is a banger show, so maybe one day
You are not wrong in referring to them as "chaos gods". Honestly I think these two and Tzeentch would have a hell of a time together.
Similar to Raven VS Twilight Sparkle, the research for this episode is horrendous. Discord FTW! 🐉
In a way of looking at things they did both win, Bill won the Death Battle by destroying Discord (at least for the moment) and Discord won in a sense that he did what he set out to do, which is to save his friends, and upstage his rival, which he did by sealing him away and essentially getting the last laugh in spite of his defeat
Options Presented:
An actual destroyer of dimensions, Bill Cipher.
A chaotic and silly goofball, Discord.
"I'm going to vote on Discord" 😜
Ngl, if you do ever get to react to Gravity Falls, I suggest bringing Kirby along for the ride. I personally think you will both really enjoy it. Unless she has seen it before, then bringing her along for the ride would be a fun twist on your normal way of showing her stuff you have seen where you get to watch something she has seen 😋
I think she commented on this video apologizing for me not seeing it
@@theduckgoesmoo 😂🤣 That is a valid response haha
To put the ending simply bill won the battle by destroying discords soul, but discord won the war by trapping bill in the nightmare dimension
Bill killed Discord, but Discord trapped Bill in the nightmare realm.
The narrative of this death battle was Bill Cipher ws attempting to take over the world of MLP.
Discord was able to trick him to going back into his own world, saving his pony friends.
So Bill won the death battle, but Discord saved his world before losing.
Hope that clears up the ending
First of all, discord trapped, the triangle in a world, but discord died, so that’s how the triangle win
Just to clear up some confusion from people who are COPING over a kid’s show character, bill killed discords SOUL, discord AINT coming back
"I want them both to win."
....what do you know, that's what happened!
It seems that you have a running history with being confused about Death Battle endings. It’s just a little funny to me.
@12:33 this show is alot cooler then you'd know, if people would give it a chance they may end up likeing it.
its like dbz meets animal crossing but with lessons for kids.
it starts off slow but by the end of season 5 things go full ass dbz.
they are firing nuke sized lazer beams.
[edit the tirek fight is one of my favorites]
@16:08 a real case of blindness you got there bill, you won, but at what cost? lmao.
enjoy your victory, because today discord gets the last laugh.
the ending is best explained as "bill won the poll" but only by a few votes, so they could take liberties with discord trapping bill.
it was a case of "bill won the battle" "but discord won the war"
by choosing to fight discord bill became so blinded by his fight he didn't see discord was setting things up from the start to trap bill again.
did bill win the death battle yes, but discord got the last laugh and made bill look like a punchline to a bad joke.
this fight is in my top 10 at number 2 for how well it plays off of both characters.
they both act like they are ripped straight from the shows they came from.
I was looking at your channel every hour for this
This autoplay experiment is getting quite intriguing! We’ve gone from Flex Tape to Lucky Bags, then to a Japanese internet café, and now into cartoon theories involving children’s fates-specifically a Gravity Falls theory. Interestingly, the next two videos stayed within the Gravity Falls universe, and somehow, ponies got thrown into the mix. This journey is shaping up to be a fascinating roller coaster!
On a side note, I’d love to watch you do a series where you explore the history of animation, similar to Animation Pilgrimage. It would involve deep dives and reviews of animated films and shows, such as Gravity Falls and My Little Pony (reactions included-because, let’s be honest, when are the My Little Pony reactions happening?).
I love this battle so much, easily one of my all time favorites.
We've said it before, but Gravity Falls is like Supernatural for a younger audience, made by the Disney channel. You might like it but it's pretty scary!
By traditional Death Battle means: Bill Cipher won.
By plot: Discord won, he booted Bill out of his dimension and no one is freeing Bill anytime soon.
Bill Cipher can break the fourth wall. He wrote at least one episode of Gravity Falls and possessed the showrunner to answer questions on Twitter.
Hm:
* Why is his name Bill Cipher? His assumed alias is a good ol' boy riff on "Lou Cipher", a common "yes, obviously I'm Lucifer but we're being coy". (Luci Fair is a more recent alternative.)
* "Mon capitan": Discord shares a voice actor with Q from Star Trek, and both characters are fourth-wall aware enough to realize this and make jokes about it.
Everything else seems to have been answered elsewhere here.
Disney shows are really story oriented. This show being the most popular over a decade after it ended. Other story heavy Disney shows include Amphibia and The Owl House where no joke the main characters become the next candidate for god and a demon witch queen respectively.
Yeah naw, throw away everything you think is and isn’t possible-These two don’t care about silly things like the laws of physics or the fourth wall.
"ohh you think we're equals, that you're safe in here you low effort clown? I'm an all seeing GOD!" That line went so hard
Tons of people have done gravity Falls reactions so as long as you put some sort of filter or something over the footage of the show, you should be absolutely fine
There are so many references and Easter eggs it'd be impossible to list them all, so I'll only list a few.
Despite losing the poll to Bill Vs Discord in the poll, Fall Guys Vs Among Us was referenced twice, in the end of that claymation shot (which is a reference to Macho Man Vs Kool Aid Man btw, down to them both in the background of the shot) Bill turns into the Imposter, and in the first shot of them as puppets, there are Fall Guys and Among Us plushies on the far right just staring at Bill and Discord, the Bill Vs Discord fans thought they destroyed Fall Guys Vs Among Us but all they did was postpone it, Fall Guys Vs Among Us is inevitable.
There are references to other matchups as well. If you look closely when Bill is playing drums, you can find Sans from Undertale and The Judge from Off standing next to the crash symbol, and later in the shot you can briefly see The Doctor from Doctor Who fighting Rick Sanchez from Rick And Morty.
There are so many references to members of the community, some show up in the fight and some have their names spelled out in the madness that is Bill's true name, there's too many to bring up so I'll just bring up Biff Weed's car pfp is shown flying around In a couple shots because he's undoubtedly the reason why Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda shows up in Bill's analysis.
Speaking of the ballot, for this year they're doing things differently, instead of having 2 polls with 6 matchups each, there's gonna be a massive tournament starting from yesterday, 4 matchups have been introduced and RUclips members have a week to vote, the winner of that will move on to the semi finals, this process will repeat an additional 7 times (meaning 32 matchups are in this tournament) then on week 9, the winners from weeks 1-4 will compete to be in the finals, and the winners from weeks 5-8 will compete in week 10, and in week 11 the winners of weeks 9 and 10 will compete in the finals, 32 matchups enter, only 1 shall win. Who's gonna win? I don't know, like I said this only started yesterday so only the first 4 matchups have been revealed so far, but going off of who's winning that poll at the moment, Monokuma Vs Koro Sensei currently has the lead, I highly recommend checking out both of their series by the way, Danganronpa is a great game series and Monokuma is a very entertaining villain, and Assassination Classroom is one of my favourite animes and I'm pretty sure Koro Sensei would become one of your favourite anime characters.
Bill's victory was pyrrhic: he may have killed Discord, but Discord took everything from him
This is one of those DBs where everyone seems satisfied with the outcome. It's certainly one of my favorites.
Discord wrote the letter seen on the ground by the ponys at the beginning of the battle. And after he snapped his fingers all the living creatures disappeared and the colors of the portal changed to the colors of Equestria, that was when he pulled Bill and himself to the Nightmare Realm. He knew from the start it was hopeless and that all he could do was trap Bill and save his friends and he wrote the letter to say goodbye (and to piss off Bill, who *did* indeed learn a lesson about friendship).
Fun fact i found out, when they showed Bill's "real" name it was names of Death Battle community member's names scrambled up, and one of them was you!
Despite My little Pony being a kids show, it is really good, definitely worth a bit of a watch, specially the 4th one called friendship is magic. Not many would judge you.
"Would you like to make a deal? NO! I would NOT like to make a deal with you!"
_"Alright. *Deal*."_
"wait wha-" Gets possessed because a deal to NOT HAVE A DEAL is still a deal.
WORDING BRO! 😛
Well bills real name is an anagram for theduckgoesmoo according to death battle
bili cipher will be in bliie bust storyboard when billie takes barnabys gem
you know Bill cipher may have won the battle, but discord’s real goal was never defeating bill, it was saving his world and his friends like Fluttershy… I give discord full respect for his sacrifice
So yeah the ending of the fight is basically that discord sent bill to his home dimension to protect his friends but bill still killed him
"Was there an ARG for it?" Yes actually! It was an international scavenger hunt spreading clues across the globe... that took the Gravity Falls fandom exactly 13 days to complete, lol. It was then removed by authorities due to a property dispute, but is now held at a roadside attraction in California for anyone to see. The community was really dedicated to the mysteries in the show and out of it.
Its called a kelidoscope because it shows many many different patterns and colors in it, indicating his many weird powers bro
Two of the most goated animated shows in existence :D
Well it is fair bc discord CAN be killed but bill cipher CAN'T be killed but he CAN'T travel between dimensions and discord CAN travel between dimensions but the most probable outcome is that fiscord would just have teleported bill to his fimention or some pocket dimention and go back to his :v
I love the nod to Star Trek.
The Q snap and Jean Luc reference. Since it is John de Lancie, who played Q, who’s voices Discord. Really the best animated role for him. My Little Pony uses the Q snap on some occasions as well.
This was a great fight. One of my favorites from Death Battle.
My Favorite Death Battle of the Season, Top 5 of all time
So to explain that ending, during their fight Discord was able to get him and Bill back to Bill's home/prison dimension taking advantage of Bill's "tunnel vision" as DB called it. It was only until it was too late that Bill realized what happened and couldn't return to the "my little pony universe" that he was conquering in the beginning, and I rage Bill just crushed Discord's soul. In the end Bill May have won the Battle, but Discord won the "war" by saving his home and friends from Bill trapping him back from wense he came
6:48
"they made the house into a robot, fascinating" -Larry King
o yeah cool thing. there was a BILL statue hidden in the real world. a real world treasure hunt was started. with the statue holding a secret message from the maker.
took awhile but people eventually found it. and the guy even shook the statues hand. oh no.
edit: the tape said something like hey dipper mabel foos and uncle here. and it ended with : shake my hand old pal will ya? but it sounded VERY bill cipher.
You know its funny. Ben Singer has been quoted on many occasions that the best episodes that illustrate what Death Battle is all about, is the My Little Pony ones. Because what better way to advertise your show by taking a traditionally harmless and child friendly concept, look at all the gratuitous violence within it and put said characters in a fight to the death? I agree with him. Because when you think "Death Battle", your mind doesn't automatically go to My Little Pony. Yet it works cause its exactly what the show's about.
Serendipitous if you ask me.
Bill was si powerful, in the production studio they had a whiteboard that said "how do i kill god" cause he was so powerful they had no idea how to kill him
2:31 Let me explain for you Kyle, Mayberry is a reference to the Andy Griffith Show, which is an American classic sitcom and Twin Peaks is a reference to the 90s series that inspired Gravity Falls, called Twin Peaks which is a detective murder mystery gone completely wrong.
Twin Peaks is mostly popular for being weird to say the least. I would say its a really good show (excluding the second half of seaosn 2)
Just letting you in on some information
Video: Bill destroyed his home dimension and killed everyone in it.
Theduckgoesmoo: So, is he a bad guy...?
To sum up what happened.
Two immortal chaos gods fought.
Bill won because in the show he goes for the kill when it comes to fellow gods.
To humans he holds back because he thinks we're a joke.
Discord just got so lazy that he doesn't see ANYTHING as a threat.
They fight and discord annoys bill so much he distracts bill enough lurking and trapping him in the nightmare realm basically bills prison.
Bill destroys his soul but gets trapped again.
You absolutely watch Gravity Falls it is one of the best shows I have ever watched. I think you'ed love it.
AGAIN this is why I tell you to take a break from youtube and watch other things even before these death battles come out
8:11 "Is he typing on bread?"
He was making himself some homework as a snack.
14:53 "Tell Jean-Luc his show is worse than Code of Honor".
I think others in the comments mention Discord's voice actor and he played Q who is a god-like being that likes to troll the crew. Jean-Luc Picard, the captain of Star Trek: The Next Generation got a new show recently and I haven't seen it yet.
Code of Honor the 4th episode of the show and it was consider one of the worse episodes of all time and called racist. All the cast and crew hated it. The plot is they landed on a planet that looks like old African tribe and their leader forcibly try to make one of the female crewmembers his wife.
Despite how well beloved The Next Generation is, it didn't get a good 1st or 2nd season and I always try to bring up the show's rough beginnings whenever I see my friends who judged a TV show way too early.
Bill won the battle but he lost everything else. Especially since Discord is gonna gain a new body back home.
I love this episode the set and tone of the fight fit these characters so well, and there’s so many little blink and you’ll miss it moments in the background you’d have to look frame by frame, references to community members names in the Bill analysis segment, Discord and Bill arguing in the text Discord writing in purple cursive and Bill with bold yellow font.
The Claymation has Macho Man and Kool aid man fighting in the background and Bill turns into a imposter crew mate from Amoung Us, the old timey animation has cuphead and bendy in the background. And lots more details the animation team really went all out with this fight.
I don't recall if we ever learn Dipper's real name, but it is a nickname, stemming from a birthmark he has, in the shape of the constellation.
When Bill asked "You wanna make a deal"? I hap-heartedly said YES. 🔼
Okay, so. The battle started in Equestria, aka ponyland. The world there was conquered, and Bill was creating a throne out of the toys that were the people there and the banners were the Mane 6 of the show trapped inside. Discord writes a letter and attacks Bill. They have a fight, but get teleported out through 'weird' means. Then discord snaps and a portal opens sending them to a FAKE Equestria (the weirdness is gone) and when Discord proposes a different game, Bill destroys the body, to which Discord gets serious. He invades Bill's mind and sets it on fire to destroy it, just like being trapped in a dying mind killed him before. Bill literally reaches into his mind and rips discord out, but Discord had already won. When the illusion of the fake equestria disappears, it's revealed Bill is stuck in the Nightmare Realm again. We see the portal with a restored Equestria and the note Discord was writing in the ground in front of Fluttershy. Bill tries to rush the portal, but it shuts. Bill won the fight with discord, but it was such a pyrrhic victory, it would almost be better to lose.
Also, fun fact, Discord won't stay dead.
Bill Cipher. Killed everyone in his home dimension. Does anything that will make you uncomfortable. Looks to conquer our dimension.
