Monika: What would you do if you became what you hated the most? Would you rise and become the hero?

Junko: Or would you live long enough to watch yourself become the villain?!

Monika: Eren Yeager, the Titan Shifter.

Junko: And Ken Kenaki, the One-Eyed Ghoul!

Monika: The stage is set and the combatants are ready.

Junko: It's time for a hungry hungry Death Battle!

In the large town within Wall Maria, Eren Yeager was going up to the roof of a tall building wearing maneuvering gear. When he does, he sees Ken Kenaki has taken out all the Yeagerist. Eren looks at him with cold eyes.

Eren: And what do you think you're doing?

Kenaki turns his head to look at him.

Kenaki: They attacked me first.

Eren: ... And...?

Kenaki: ... And...

He took out his sword, the Yukimura 1/3.

Kenaki: You're next.

Kenaki dashed at him and swung his sword. Eren took the blades out of his maneuvering gear and blocked his attack. He then pushed Kenaki back and swung one of his blades. Kenaki blocked it as Eren thrust the other blade. Kenaki jumped to the left to dodge before they both ended up swinging their blades again. They clashed and butted heads, which knocked Eren back. Kenaki then jumped up for a downward swing but Eren used the blades and blocked it before knocking the sword out of Kenaki's hands. He then swung his blades again, but they shattered as soon as they tried to pierce Kenaki's skin.

Eren: What?!

Kenaki cracked his finger, summoning the three tentacles that were his Kagune. They all struck down at the same time, but Eren used the grappling hook on his maneuvering gear to send himself flying off the building and avoiding Kenaki's strike. He then started swinging from building to building. He looks back to see Kenaki, jumping from building to building and quickly catching up to him.

Eren: This guy isn't human. 

Before Kenaki could catch him, Eren swung into the air before coming down for a spinning swing of his blades. Kenaki used his Kagune as a shield to block and was sent crashing into the ground. Kenaki recovered quickly and looked up to see Eren going for a downward thrust. Kenaki jumped back and dodged as Eren stabbed his blades to the ground. He dashed at Kenaki and swung the blades, but Kenaki swung a tentacle and broke it. He swung another one and Eren went to block it with the second blade, only for it to shatter out of his hand. Eren dashed at Kenaki instead. Kenaki went for a punch, but Eren dodged it and flipped Kenaki to the ground. The ghoul jumped back to his feet. He looked up to see Eren dashing at him. 

Kenaki: Die!

He unleashed his Kagune, and as soon as Eren tried to jump over it, Kenaki brought out his Kakuja and slammed Eren into a building with his giant, centipede-like tentacles. Without a moment to waste, Eren jumped out the window of the building holding a Thunder Spear. He used his Maneuvering Gear to swing into the air, before making a U-turn and throwing the Thunder Spear at Kenaki who had no time to react before it blew up in his face. Eren landed in front of the massive explosion.

Eren: Hmph... not as durable as you look.

As the smoke cleared, Kenaki had lost his left arm and right leg. He used his Kakuja as armor to block the explosion as his arm grew back and his missing leg wrapped around one of Eren's broken blades, creating a sword. Eren noticed he only had one more set of blades and created a cut on his finger in case things got rough. Kenaki's arm grew into a giant claw as he threw the blade off his leg straight toward Eren. Eren dodged it as he dashed at him, swinging his blades that Kenaki blocked with his claws. 

His Kagune then grew a mouth and tried to take a bite out of Eren, who saw this and quickly jumped back. Kenaki then dashed at him and swung his claws. Eren dodged it as Kenaki turned his other arm into a blade and thrust it. Eren blocked the strike and was pushed back only for Kenaki's Kagune to whip him and send him flying into another building. This time, Kenaki dashed at him again and tried to stab him. Eren went to block, but Kenaki broke through the blades as his own blade went straight through Eren's shoulder and allowed Kenaki to rip off his arm.

Eren: Geh!

Kenaki then stabbed him in the chest and brought him in close.

Kenaki: I'll rip you to shreds!

Eren: Maybe another time...

A sudden shockwave was unleashed through Eren's body and knocked Kenaki back. he looked up to see Eren had turned himself into a Titan.

Kenaki: What the? What is that thing?

Eren: RAAAAGH!

https://youtu.be/s4LqBi563GQ

Eren went for a massive punch. Kenaki jumped up to dodge it before using his Kagune to climb up a building. A bunch of civilians were running away as Kenaki looked up at Eren.

Kenaki: This man... I need to end him quickly.

As he said that, Eren used the power of the Warhammer Titan to create a massive sledgehammer. He swung it and Kenaki jumped to another building as the one he was on got crusher. Kenaki kept jumping from building to building, dropping seeds from his Kagune as he circled around Eren.

Eren: What is he doing?

Kenaki then stopped at a building in front of Eren as a bunch of spikes emerged from the ground to stab the Titan. Eren quickly hardened his body, preventing them from piercing. Kenaki then jumped up towards him and swung his claws, but Eren hardened his fist and punched him away, sending him through multiple buildings. Kenaki recovered and cracked his neck as he stood up to see Eren approaching. 

Kenaki used his Kagune to throw a bunch of rubble at him but Eren swatted it away and stomped his foot, unleashing a burst of spikes from the ground beneath Kenaki, who got out of the way just in time and jumped onto a building before jumping at him. Kenaki swung his claws but missed as Eren grabbed him and threw him into the walls. Eren then created a massive spear and threw it, sending it straight through Kenaki's body. Eren then approached the Ghoul and went for a massive punch, hard enough to create a massive crater into the wall and splatter lots of blood.

Eren: Give it up. You're nothing more than an insect beneath my feet. I'll squash you like the bug you are.

Several Kagune then came out and stabbed through Eren's arm, forcing him to pull it back. As soon as he did, Kenaki hopped on and started running up his arm. Eren tried to grab him but missed as Kenaki jumped up, turned both his arms into blades, and sliced the Titan's head off. 

Before Kenaki could land, a gigantic skeleton grew out of the Titan's head, destroying the wall and unleashing the Wall Titans. Several innocent civilians had also started turning into Titans. Eren Yeager had become the Founding Titan as the Rumbling had begun.

Kenaki: What the? ... It's huge...

Eren took his massive hand and squashed Kenaki into the ground. Kenaki closed his eyes and as soon as he lost all hope, he became the Dragon Ghoul, Becoming so humongous that it started wrapping around most Wall Titans and devouring almost everyone in the country. Ghouls came out of the monster's body slaughtering even more, spreading a gas that turned other humans into ghouls. The Dragon grew the more it ate. Millions were dying due to the carnage these two produced. 

The Titan tried to grab the massive Ghoul, but it wrapped around Eren as multiple mouths started chewing at his bones and crushing them. 

As this was happening, Eren was speaking to Kenaki within his mind. Everything was white around them as Eren was standing in front of Kenaki, who was sitting in a chair.

Kenaki: ... We need to stop this... people are dying out there.

Eren: And so what of it? The Rumbling is necessary for peace anyway.

Kenaki: You really think this will inspire peace? Are you insane?

Eren: I'll do whatever it takes to create paradise.

Kenaki: Is that so?

He looks up.

Rize: Then I'll destroy your paradise with every fiber of my being...

Ymir: ... I would like to see you try...

Back in the present, Eren unleashed a massive explosion around him, destroying most of the Dragon Ghoul but not all of it. This woke Kenaki up as he flew out of the dragon in his final form. He looked up to see Eren now as a Colossal Titan. 

Kenaki flew at Eren as Eren went for a massive punch but Kenaki dodged it, flying around Eren while cutting up the arm of the massive Titan. He tried to get in close, but Eren unleashed a huge burst of steam from his body that knocked Kenaki back. Eren then tried to grab Kenaki but missed as Kenaki few around Eren before charging forward, avoiding his massive hands and breaking his way into Eren's mouth by breaking a tooth. Kenaki looks up to see Eren's real head.

Kenaki: ... It's over.

The mouth opened up as the Colossal Titan reached inside to try and grab Kenaki, but the Ghoul was too fast. He dashed at Eren and grabbed him by the face before crushing his skull. 

The giant Titan then fell to the ground. Kenaki came out of its mouth, looking up to see Ymir disappearing in front of him. He sighed and looked up at the sunset. Another day of peace.

Junko: It's not often that the sequel is better than the original, but we really outdone ourselves with this one!

Monika: Unlike that time, this time is much closer. But there are a lot of factors so let's go over them. Starting with speed. 

Junko: Yeah, so theoretically, Kenaki is faster than Eren. As a human, Eren isn't nearly as fast without his gear, but the speed gap isn't so great that he can't keep up with Kenaki. Eren is also stronger than Eren in his Titan form.

Monika: Kenaki's skin is tough, but Eren should be able to pierce through it with the Warhammer Titan's power. But after looking into how they are physically, Kenaki takes most other categories.

Junko: Yeah, Kenaki has way more experience against other humans and Ghouls. He's even fought against his own Dragon transformation, which is bigger than Eren's own Founding Titan.

Monika: Speaking of the Founding Titan, while it is true this transformation is powerful, most of its hax won't work on Kenaki. Eren's ability to manipulate the past is limited as well as his ability to see the future. And since Kenaki is from Tokyo and not Eldia, he can't control his mind, erase his memory, or turn him into a Titan. On the flip side, Eren wasn't immune to being turned into a Ghoul.

Junko: And with Kenaki's final form, he could easily sense Eren's whereabouts so even within a Titan, Kenaki would know where the real body was.

Monika: While Eren's Colossal Titan form can generate high temperatures, other Ghouls have withstood much hotter temperatures in the past. There was no doubt Kenaki couldn't do the same. All in all, Kenaki earned his second win with much more effort put into it.

Junko: Looks like there was a Titanic attack on Tokyo saved by one nerdy ghoul.

Monika: The winner is Ken Kenaki.

Kokonoe's Trivia: Battle #173

-Connections: Eren and Ken are both iconic Senin protagonists who live in a world tyrannized by a monster like species that are designed to devour humans, after an incident that almost kills them their lives are changed forever as they are forcefully turned into said tyrannical species, but are rare among them (Eren having 1 of the 9 great titans and Ken being a 1 eyed ghoul). At first both are seen as freaks by their most others but are taken in by a group of people that simply want piece for one of the sides (Antieku and The Scout Regimen) where they form unbreakable bonds with the people there. Both have naïve views of the world at first (Eren thinking if he simply beats his enemies everything will be fine and Ken thinking everything can be solved without killing) but as their journeys progress they become more jaded to those around them despising themselves and the world they live in. With them coming to a breaking point when they realize that their enemies are massive hypocrites and have no reason to do all this killing other than to provide a harmful status quo (The Marlieans using titan shifters to end the Eldians, and the CCG's top officers all being a secret ghoul organization). With them having no other choice both resolve themselves to becoming a monster to save those they love (Eren becoming the Founding Titan as he saw it was the only way to bring the sides together and Ken in a desperate attempt to save Touka becoming Dragon) Afterwards both reveal they did everything they did for the betterment of the world (Eren seeing he had to die to end the titan threat, and Ken overcoming Rize's influence, destroys Dragon, and creates a better world for human's and ghouls)
