Kokonoe: For whatever reason, making a dragon your weapon can grant you some tremendous power.

Junko: And it can even get you a bunch of ladies! Like these two powerful harem protagonists!

Kokonoe: Issei Hyoudou, the mightiest pervert of Highschool DXD.

Junko: And Tatsumi, the protagonist wannabe of Akame ga kill.

Kokonoe: I'm Kokonoe Mercury and she's Junko Enoshima.

Junko: And it's time for a Death Battle!!!

In an abandoned warehouse in the middle of the city, a big boobed lady made a magic circle to summon a demon. The portal started to glow red.

Lady: Yes! Come to me so we can rule the-

The glowing stopped as there was a sudden knock on the door. The lady was confused as she went to answer the door to find Issei right in front of her.

Issei: Hey, are you the lady that summoned a demon? Sorry, it took a whi-

Issei immediately saw her boobs and had a bit of a nosebleed.

Issei: (Woah! Her knockers are huge!)

Lady: What kind of demon knocks on the door? And stop staring!

While they were talking, Tatsumi was hiding in the shadows.

Tatsumi: That lady is my target...

Tatsumi quickly dashed at the lady and swung his sword, but Issei got in front of her and blocked Tatsumi's strike with his gantlet.

Tatsumi/Issei: What the?!

Issei pushed Tatsumi back and Tatsumi pointed his sword at him.

Tatsumi: What do you think you're doing?!

Ddraig: Boost!

Issei: Me?! Why are you trying to hurt a big boobed hottie?!

Ddraig: Boost!

The lady got an idea as she held Issei's arm, pressing her boobs against him.

Lady: Please stop the big bad meanie. I'll let you play with me however you like.

Ddraig: Boost!

Tatsumi: Please, what moron would fall for-

Issei: I'll protect you no matter what!

Ddraig: Boost!

Tatsumi: You're a complete moron!

Ddraig: Boost!

Tatsumi: Alright, that's it... I'm taking you out first!

Issei: Heh, bring it on!

Tatsumi dashed at Issei who quickly started firing multiple blasts of energy at him. Tatsumi was dodging them as he went to swing his sword at Issei, but Issei blocked it again with his gauntlet. This time, Tatsumi pushed Issei back. Issei went to punch him but Tatsumi blocked it with his sword and was sent back.

Tatsumi: (He's tough!)

Issei jumped up and went for a downward punch, but Tatsumi dodged it and rolled in front of the lady. Issei quickly went to grab him, but Tatsumi jumped to the side, causing Issei to grope the lady and for all her clothes to tear off.

Lady: Eeek!

Tatsumi: What the hell?!

Issei: Oh yeah!!!

Issei suddenly ignited on fire.

Issei: Seeing her naked body has got me fired up!

Tatsumi: What kind of perverted logic is that?!

Issei got into his Scale Mail armor as he shot a huge fireball at Tatsumi.

Tatsumi: Crud! Incursio!

Tatsumi quickly activated Incursio as his body was covered in armor. The fireball launched him straight out the warehouse as Tatsumi managed to quickly recover. Issei dashed Tatsumi and went to punch him, but Tatsumi blocked it with his spear and the two quickly jumped back.

Tatsumi: (What kind of teigu is that?)

Issei dashed at him again and went to punch him, but Tatsumi jumped to the side and turned invisible.

Issei: Huh? Hey, where'd he go?

Ddraig: Behind you!

Tatsumi appeared behind him and swung his spear. Issei saw this, turned around, and blocked the strike as he was sent back again. Tatsumi jumped up but Issei fired a giant blast of energy from his chest.

Issei: Take this!

The blast launched Tatsumi all the way into the city. He crashed through multiple buildings before landing in the middle of the road. Tatsumi got up and felt his head.

Tatsumi: Dame he's strong... hm?

Tatsumi looked up to see Issei flying down with a fist full of flames.

Issei: Ha!

Issei unleashed the flames as Tatsumi went to block it. The impact caused a huge crater beneath them and a shockwave that caused buildings to collapse. Tatsumi pushed him back and got into a fighting stance.

Tatsumi: Man you're persistent!

Issei summoned his holy sword.

Issei: I can say the same to you!

He dashed at Tatsumi and swung the blade, but Tatsumi blocked it with his spear and pushed him straight into a building. Tatsumi threw his spear and Issei dodged it, letting it stab right into the building as Tatsumi dashed at him and grabbed his face. Tatsumi smashed his head straight through the wall of the building before grabbing his spear. Issei started to get up and Tatsumi quickly went to stab him, but Issei dodged quickly.

Issei: Knight!

Issei's armor turned thinner as he was faster. He dashed at him and pushed him, sending him back a bit. Issei dashed at him and Tatsumi swung his spear but missed as  Issei punched him in the face and kneed him in the gut. Issei went for another kick that sent him straight into a building.

Issei: Heh... I can use this form to make my body faster! You stand no chance!

Tatsumi's silhouette stood in the debris.

Tatsumi: Using your suit to increase your physical stats huh? Oh right, I can do that too!

He swung his spear, swatting the debris away as he was in his first evolved form.

Tatsumi: In fact, it's kinda my thing.

Issei dashed at him, but Tatsumi jumped to the side, dodging Issei's strike. Issei quickly went for a kick but Tatsumi blocked it and grabbed him by the leg. Tatsumi threw him and dashed at him as Issei immediately landed on his feet. Tatsumi swung his spear and Issei dodged it. Issei went to punch Tatsumi, but that strike was quickly caught with one hand.

Tatsumi: You're so predictable it's not even funny!

Tatsumi stabbed his spear to the ground and went to punch him, but Issei dodged it and kneed him in the gut. Tatsumi had let go of Issei and Issei went to punch him, but Tatsumi dodged it and grabbed his spear. He swung it but Issei dodged his strike and grabbed his spear.

Issei: You might know everything I'm gonna do, but that won't help you since I know everything you're gonna do! Strange, isn't it?!

Tatsumi kicked him away hard.

Tatsumi: That doesn't even make sense!

He dashed at him and swung the spear, but Issei dodged it and got back.

Issei: Rook!

Issei's armor turned more buff as Tatsumi went to strike him down with his spear, but didn't even leave a dent.

Tatsumi: Huh?!

Issei: Take this!

Issei hit him with a heavy punch that sent him flying hard. Issei then dashed at him.

Issei: Solid Impact!

Issei hit him with an even stronger punch that sent him through several buildings that immediately collapsed.

Issei: Bishop!

Two blasters appeared on Issei's shoulders as he was charging up a blast. Tatsumi started to get up.

Tatsumi: Dame... huh?

Tatsumi saw Issei charging his blast.

Tatsumi: Shit!

Issei: Let's go... Dragon Blaster!

Issei fired a humongous blast that destroyed everything around it. Tatsumi tried to block it as the impact created a massive explosion. 

Issei: Phew... now that that's dealt with...

Tatsumi: It's not over just yet.

Issei: Huh?

Issei looked up in the sky to see Tatsumi in his second evolution staring him down.

Issei: Tch!

Issei charged up but as soon as he did, Tatsumi had already flown down, grabbed his face, and smashed it to the ground.

Issei: (He's faster.. and stronger!)

Tatsumi dashed at a high speed while dragging Issei's head through the ground. He then threw Issei through multiple buildings as the last one collapsed on top of him. Tatsumi flew above the rubble to make sure he was dead. A giant explosion suddenly erupted from the explosion as Tatsumi flew back. He saw Issei rising up as he was in his Juggernaut Drive.

Tatsumi: So you still got more huh? Alright, let's see what you got!

Issei flew up at Tatsumi in a burst of flames. Before Tatsumi could react, Issei was right in front of him and had punched im hard enough to send him flying. Tatsumi caught himself midair as Issei fired a huge blast at him. Tatsumi flew around the blast and went to stab him, but Issei caught the spear and threw Tatsumi down hard into the city, creating a giant crater. Issei then went to fire a huge fireball at him. Tatsumi saw this and immediately flew away as the fireball caused a huge explosion that engulfed the entire city in flames. Tatsumi looked down at all the carnage.

Tatsumi: Damn...

Issei dashed at him and went to punch him, but Tatsumi caught it as he went for a punch of his own. Issei caught it as blades grew from his armor to strike his chest, but Tyrant's head appeared on Tatsumi's chest, blocking the blades.

Tatsumi: Nice try. Go to Hell!

Tatsumi headbutted Issei so hard he went flying straight into the ground. Immediately after Issei landed he powered up into his Cardinal Crimson Promotion and flew at him at high speed.

Issei: Die!

Tatsumi threw his spear but Issei dodged it as he got in his face.

Issei: Solid Impact Booster!

Issei went for a punch that Tatsumi went to block. As soon as the punch connected, Tatsumi could feel his armor begin to crack as he was sent flying back. Issei flew after him and hit him with multiple high-speed punches, breaking the armor more and more. He then punched Tatsumi in the chest, causing blood to come out of Tatsumi's mouth as he fell hard into the ground. Issei then charged another blast.

Issei: It's over! Longinus Smasher!

Issei fired another hug blast, much bigger than last time, that caused an explosion that wiped out everything around it. Issei looked down and waited until he heard a voice.

Tatsumi: Is that all you got?

Issei saw Tatsumi standing up as his wounds and armor had regenerated.

Tatsumi: Are you trying to kill me or bore me?

Issei: What?! Tch, Crimson Cannon!

Issei fired another huge blast of energy, but this time Tatsumi dodged it as he flew up and punched him hard in the gut. 

Issei: Gah!

Tatsumi went to punch him several more times, sending Issi back with each blow. Issei finally caught the last one and punch Tatsumi hard in the face. Tatsumi recovered as they both went to punch each other at a rapid pace, causing massive shockwaves with each clash.

Issei: (This guy isn't just growing stronger... he's growing faster too!)

Issei punched Tatsumi and sent him back.

Issei: Looks like I have no choice!

Issei started powering up once more until his armor changed and he turned to his Pseudo Diabolos Dragon God transformation. Tatsumi looked up and saw this.

Tatsumi: (Damn... this guy has more transformations than I do...)

Tatsumi dashed at him and went for a heavy punch, but Issei caught it with one hand.

Issei: It's over!

Issei punched Tatsumi with a fist full of flames that sent Tastsumi crashing into the ground, right next to his spear. Tatsumi recovered as he quickly grabbed his spear. He was about to throw it, but Issei was right behind him before he could.

Tatsumi: (He's fast!)

Before Tatsumi could react, Issei elbowed him in the back and sent him flying. Tatsumi was quick to land on his feet but Issei was in front of him immediately as he went to blast him with fire. Tatsumi quickly dodged it and swung his blade but Tatsumi blocked it and went for an extremely powerful punch to the gut that nearly broke Tatsumi's armor again. Tatsumi quickly grabbed his arm and kicked him, sending Issei back. Issei quickly flew up in the air as Tatsumi flew after him.

Tatsumi: I won't let you win!

Issei: Try and stop me! Infinity Blast!

Issei fired an even bigger blast that sent Tatsumi crashing into the ground as it made an explosion that turned the entire city into nothing but crimson and debris.

Issei: ... Is it over...?

Ddraig: No... not yet.

Issei: Hmph, then let's finish him off!

Issei summoned Ddraig by his side as they both charged up a blast. Tatsumi emerged from the debris as he was in his third evolution. His spear had two extra blades.

Issei/Ddraig: Welch Dragon Flare!

Issei's infinity Blast combined with Ddraig's dragon breath as they fired an even greater blast.

Tatsumi: Screw you...

Tatsumi flew up as he used his spear to charge straight through the blast. 

Tatsumi: PERVERRRT!!!

Tatsumi's armor was starting to break as he launched himself straight through Ddraig's body and into the sky.

Issei: Huh?

Issei had returned to base and fell to the ground as he was in extreme pain.

Issei: Geh! Goddammit...

He looked up in the sky.

Issei: Where... is he...

Issei kept watching as he was surprised to see Tatsumi coming down as a giant dragon.

Issei: Damn... Dammit!!!

The dragon flew down and sent its arm straight down on Issei, squashing him like a bug.

Tyrant: GRAAAAAAH!!!

Junko: Jesus Christ! I think we should have saved this for our season finale!

Kokonoe: This one was extremely close. In their base forms Tatsumi was the faster fighter with more skill, while Tatsumi had more power and strength.

Junko: But then we get to their armors and transformations. And it seems like Issei would have the advantage in every category. And he does, but not for long.

Kokonoe: Right. After Tatsumi reaches his second evolution, he can adapt much faster than Issei can keep up with.

Junko: And even though Issei could boost his own power, the multiplier resets after one hit. Speaking of, Tatsumi's evolution also makes him resistant to almost all of his attacks. Sure the holy weapon won't do much for him, but Issei's flames and Dragon Slayer attacks would have been far more of a problem if Tatsumi couldn't adapt to them.

Kokonoe: Add this to Tatsumi's stubborn healing factor, and the fact that most of Issei's attacks take a lot of stamina, and you got a very close win for Tatsumi.

Junko: Of course, Issei also had his AXA form, which probably could have helped, but it also takes a lot of stamina and will leave him drained, giving Tatsumi enough time to finish him off afterwards.

Kokonoe: Looks like this assassination was a success... the winner is Tatsumi.

Junko: Next time on Death Battle!

Morrigan: Looks like someone needs to be punished.

Bayonetta: Very well... let's see what you got!
