Junko: It's one thing to be hunting devils, but try that with demon blood already coursing through your veins... or in this case, showing on your right arm. I'm sure you'd be like these two badasses and not give a damn!

Dizzy: Nero, the young Devil Hunter from Devil May Cry.

Akame: And Hellboy, the Beast of the Apocolypse.

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

Junko: It's time for a Death Battle!

Inside a large church, Nero was walking towards a statue while reading a Hellboy comic book.

Hellboy: I hate those things.

He turned around to see Hellboy behind him smoking a cigar.

Hellboy: They never get the eyes right.

Nero: So, I'm guessing you're the demon I'm after? I heard of a guy fated to bring the Apocolypse. I'm here to stop it from happening.

Hellboy: You heard fake news kid. But it just so happens that I've been hired to kill pipsqueaks like you.

Nero: That so? Then... bring it on!

Hellboy dropped the cigar and pulled out his big gun, firing at Nero who dropped the comic and started running, dodging the explosive rounds. He then ran at him and swung his right fist. Hellboy went for a swing of his own right fist and they clashed, smashing Nero's Devil Breaker to pieces. 

Nero: Geh! 

Hellboy: Suprised?

Nero: Are you?

Hellboy: Hm?

He looked and saw the broken Devil Breaker had stuck on his Gantlet before blowing up in his face. Nero grabbed his Red Queen blade and swung it, engulfing it in flames as he did. Hellboy blocked it with his Gauntlet and was knocked back a bit as Nero went for a deadly strike to his chest. Hellboy jumped to the side to dodge it before swinging his tail and sending Nero flying across a bunch of chairs. Hellboy caught one of the chairs with his tail and sat down on it before taking a smoke.

Hellboy: That all you got kid?

As Nero was still flying, he grew wings and caught himself before flying right back at Hellboy, who got up and pulled out a spear trying to stab him with it. Nero swung the claws of the wings and cut the spear in two before using his other Devil Breaker to hit Hellboy with a rocket punch that sent him flying in the air. Nero then stabbed his blade to the ground and reared it like an engine.

Nero: Not even close! 

He flew at him as Hellboy landed on his feet. He was about to use his big gun again but Nero swatted it out of his hand. Hellboy then pulled out his smaller gun as Nero took out a gun of his own and they both aimed at each other.

Nero: Well would you look at that?

Hellboy: Things just got a whole lot more interesting.

They both fired their guns. Hellboy used his right hand to block Nero's shot as Nero dodged Hellboy's. The shot Hellboy fired caused a pillar to collapse, but Nero caught it and swung it, hitting Hellboy and sending him crashing into a statue. As Hellboy fell, the statue fell on top of him.

Nero: Homerun!

Hellboy burst out of the rubble of the statue and punched the ground, unleashing a huge pillar of fire to unleash from under Nero, who managed to jump to the side and dodge it. Hellboy then threw the statue's head and Nero took his blade and cut it in half. He dashed at Hellboy and stabbed him in the chest. Hellboy pulled the blade in to get closer to Nero before punching Nero in the face. Nero pulled his blade out and went to swing the blade at him, but Hellboy swung his gauntlet again and swatted his sword away. He then pulled out a knife and stabbed Nero in the gut before going for a flaming punch and knocking him back. Nero slid to his feet and used another Devil Breaker to unleash a blast of energy that Hellboy dodges as it destroys the wall behind him. He dashed at Nero and swung his fist. Nero countered with one of his demonic arms and they both clashed, creating a shockwave around them. Nero went to strike with his other demonic arm but Hellboy dodged it and jumped in the air before throwing a bomb at him.

Hellboy: Merry Christmas.

Nero landed on his feet as time slowed down. He did a little spin, pulled out his gun, and shot the bomb, causing a huge explosion. Once time resumed he unleashed several penetrated lasers that bounced off the walls, floor, and ceiling. Hellboy dodged them and threw several needles that stuck into Nero's Devil Breaker. Nero found himself unable to move and quickly removed the arm as Hellboy approached with a punch. Nero dodged the punch and took out his Yamoto blade. He swung it and Hellboy blocked it and punch the ground, causing the entire church to blow up and fall off a hill. Nero quickly landed on a giant chunk of falling rubble, sliding on the hill before turning around to see a huge burst of water coming down with him.

Nero: Well that's not good.

Hellboy came flying onto that same piece of ruble swinging Excalibur which Nero dodged before swinging Yamato. The two of them clashed several times before the title wave hit them and sent them flying away before they crashed into a nearby town. As soon as Nero got up, Hellboy turned the whole town into a giant forest and nearly trapped Nero in a bunch of trees if he didn't jump out of the way fast enough. His Devil Arm turned into a whip and grabbed Hellboy before tossing him aside. He then got rid of the whip and replaced it with the Mega Buster as Hellboy recovered and pulled out his last gun. They both fired at each other, causing a huge explosion between them before Hellboy jumped through the explosion and cut his Devil Breaker off with Excalibur. Nero regrew his original arm and swung the Yamato blade as Hellboy swung Excalibur again, only for Nero to slice through it like butter and go for another swing to the head. Hellboy caught the blade with his gauntlet and snapped it in two before stabbing him with the broken Excalibur blade.

Hellboy: Sorry kid... all out of luck.

He backed away as a bunch of trees started to wrap around Nero, trapping him inside. Hellboy then dropped the broken blade and went to take a smoke.

Nero: No... I don't think so.

Right before lighting his cigar, the tree burst open as Nero busted out, having now activated his Devil Trigger.

Nero: Who brought the marshmallows? 'Cause I'm starting the fire!

Hellboy: Well what do you know? You're even more of a freak than me. Things just got a whole lot more interesting.

Nero dashed at him and went for a kick. Hellboy dropped his cigarette and swung his Gauntlette, causing the two of them to clash before Nero flipped to his feet and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying into a tree. Nero then flew at him, grabbing him by the face and sending him through the tree along with several others. Hellboy then kicked him off and as soon as Nero came flying back to him, Hellboy picked up a tree and swung it, sending Nero flying away.

Hellboy: Payback's a bitch.

Nero caught himself and summoned three ladies before firing them at him. Hellboy blocked them with the tree and then punched the tree at Nero, who flew over it and back at Hellboy, getting ready to grab him again. Hellboy saw it coming as he punched a hole in the ground. Nero went to grab him but Hellboy dodged his attempt and grabbed him by the leg and threw him into the pit of hell. He jumped down with him as the two started to fall, punching each other as they did before finally crashing into Hell itself. Nero got up and looked around.

Nero: Now where am I?

A giant burst of fire erupted behind him. He turned to see Hellboy had finally activated the Devil's Heart and shown his true form as the Prince of Hell.

Hellboy: Welcome to Hell kid. Hope you get comfy 'cause it'll be your resting place.

Nero: Nah. I don't think I'll stay here for long. Just say those sweet last words and I'll be out of your hair in a jiff.

Hellboy stomped the ground, unleashing a huge burst of fire that Nero immediately dodged. He created a sword out of thin air and swung it, creating massive shockwaves that Hellboy quickly blocked with his gauntlet. He summoned a blade of fire as Nero dashed at him and they clashed blades and caused another shockwave. The impact knocked Nero back as Hellboy punched him into the ground hard. He went to stab Nero in the chest, but Nero quickly slowed down time and dodged it. He swung his blade and appeared behind Hellboy. Once time resumed, a hundred slashes spread across Hellboy's body. Hellboy ignored the pain and summoned lightning from the sky to charge his Right hand of Doom. He turned around and went for an electric punch, but as soon as he tried, several blades stabbed him in the back, causing him to miss as Nero cut off his right arm.

Hellboy: Gah!

Hellboy fell to one knee and Nero sent his claws straight through Hellboy's chest, ripping out his heart and crushing it. Hellboy coughed up blood as he was about to fall on top of him. Nero then took out his gun, aimed it, and blew his head off allowing his body to fall right in front of him. He went back to his regular look and walked away.

Nero: Looks like I just hit the jackpot.

Junko: Well if this wasn't a match made in Hell, I don't know what is.

Dizzy: With Hellboy's years of experience and powerful arsenal, he could easily keep Nero on his toes. He was bigger and stronger than Nero with a right arm that didn't break. But this time, quantity won over quality.

Junko: Right, Hellboy may have had a better arm, but the Devil Breakers gave Nero enough hax to overwhelm Hellboy and his speed and flexibility allowed him to avoid some of Hellboy's more powerful blows.

Akame: Right. Hellboy may have been shown to have more strength and durability, but Nero has faced Dante, whose own power dwarfs anything Hellboy is capable of. And even if we don't include any Universal scaling, Nero's speed is still far superior to anything Hellboy has shown or has gone up against.

Junko: In the end, Hellboy may cry because the true devil survived.

Dizzy: The winner is Nero.

(Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic vs Naruto)

Neptune's Trivia (Battle #147):

-Connections: Both have daddy issues with a demon father that has ruled over Hell at one point and a human mother (Nero's mother is Julia Agrippina and his father being Vergil and Hellboy's mother is Sarah Hughes and his father being Azzael), Their arms were once demonically powerful to the point of bringing the world to the brink destruction (The Devil Bringer and the Right Hand of Doom), Both at one point they rejected their demon halves to the point it stunted their powers, but upon accepting them, have attained ascended devil forms (Nero's Devil Trigger form and Hellboy's Anung Un Rama form), Both have an affinity for using revolvers and swords that are enchanted to kill demons (Nero's Blue Rose pistol and Red Queen sword and Hellboy's Good Samaritan and Excalibur)

-Nero is the first DMC character to be in Wattpad Death Battle and the first to win

-Hellboy is the second hero to come from Dark Horse Comics alongside Spawn who fought Demi-Fiend

    *Both of whom lost their fights to someone who fights demons.

-This fight was originally going to be Dante vs Kratos, but I suppose that's a battle for another time

-Hellboy was originally going to win, but the decision was changed halfway through the battle after doing additional research

- The original title was going to be Hell's Devil as a nod to Hell's Kitchen but turned into Hell's favorite Devil as a nod to the Devil's Favorite Demon, Kane, in WWE.

    *Speaking of which, we somehow spelled Favorite wrong 3 times due to working on this overnight. You're welcome.
