Mothra Vs. Shelob (Toho Vs. Lord of the Rings) The art shows silhouettes of Mothra and Shelob clashing, with Mothra spreading her wings and emitting light, alluding to her Godrays, while Shelob is casting dark webs beneath. Shelob also has teeth and pinchers like in the books. The title refers to the Witch King's claim of "No man can kill me!" which is followed by Arwan's "I am no man." The title works as both combatants are powerful, nigh-unkillable entities, but also alludes to how Mothra can quite easily kill Shelob, as she is no man (Neither human nor male). Similarly, it alludes to Shelob's canon fate, as she died to a mix of a Hobbit, a Dwarven Blade reforged by Elves, and her own overconfidence.
Son Goten Vs. Sailor Chibi-Moon (Dragon Ball Vs. Sailor Moon) The art shows Luna-P surrounded by the Dragon Balls, with the famous Four Star Dragon Ball at the front and center. The title is meant to sound like an old fable, alluding to Dragon Ball's roots as a Journey to the West send-up and Sailor Moon's mythilogical motifs. The titles given to the two allude to Goten's mother Chi-Chi being the daughter of the Ox-King and Chibi-Usa being the daughter of Neo Queen Serenity / Sailor Moon.
Cyn Vs. IC-0n (Murder Drones Vs. Internecion Cube) The art shows IC-0n's cube form with Cyn's grinning face behind her, and the Absolute Solver symbol in the background. The red gleam surrounding IC-0n is based on the same red lighting that appeared when she horrifically morphed a helicopter into a bike for Max. The title refers to the two's mechanical natures and their penchant for body horror.
Freddy Krueger Vs. Betelgeuse (A Nightmare on Elm Street Vs. Beetlejuice) The art references a poster for the original Nightmare on Elm Street film, which depicted Freddy's clawed glove reaching over a scared woman in bed. Here, however, it instead reaches over Beetlejuice's snake form which bursts out of a bed with a geyser of blood referencing how Krueger killed Joey Crusel in Dream Master. Beetlejuice's arms are also bursting out tot he sides, and the bed sheets resemble Krueger's green and red sweater. The title references Pennywise's quote "Kiss me, Fat Boy!" which I stupidly conflated with Betelgeuse's "Round boy" line. The "Dead" part, obviously, refers to the two's undead status.
