The team spun up a dedicated YouTube side channel to host full fight animations on their own, moving that content off the main channel going forward.
The 2026 run kicked off February 8 with Ichigo VS Yusuke; the season is slated for 12 main episodes and a bonus community-voted matchup.
The independent team built out deathbattle.gg as a Patreon-style hub where members get early access to storyboards and exclusive content, replacing the old Rooster Teeth infrastructure.
Following Rooster Teeth's closure in May 2024, creator Ben Singer acquired the IP rights. A Kickstarter hit its $75,000 goal in 21 minutes, funding Death Battle '24 and future seasons under the new independent label Party Up Media.

Death Battle is a long-running animated analysis series that originated on ScrewAttack.com around 2010 before being absorbed into Rooster Teeth's network. Created and co-hosted by Ben Singer ("Wiz") alongside Chad James ("Boomstick"), each episode follows a structured format: exhaustive breakdowns of two fictional characters drawn from anime, comics, video games, and film, followed by a fully animated fight sequence resolving who would win. The show weathered a significant transition in 2024 when Rooster Teeth shut down, with the team relaunching independently under the deathbattle.gg brand — a moment the audience actively rallied behind, reflected in the #savedeathbattle hashtag that circulated widely during the period.
The channel commands a heavily male-skewed, young-adult audience concentrated in the United States and English-speaking markets, a demographic profile that has attracted sponsors in financial-services and consumer-electronics categories — PrizePicks, DraftKings, Robinhood, and Raycon have all run integrations on the channel. Engagement running well above category norms signals a highly invested fandom rather than passive viewership, which aligns with a format built around community debate. As an independently owned IP with a proven production model and a loyal subscriber base spanning millions, Death Battle is well-positioned to grow licensing, merchandise, and platform-membership revenue beyond traditional sponsorship.
Deathbattle reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. As an animation creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include Raycon and PrizePicks. Engagement on YouTube runs around 6.0%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

Death Battle was produced under Rooster Teeth, which shut down completely in 2024, leaving the show's future in serious doubt.

Wiz and Boomstick are the fictional scientist duo who host every Death Battle episode, narrating the character research and announcing the winner. They are voiced by Ben Singer and Chad James respectively, and have been the show's signature hosts since its original run on ScrewAttack.
The Death Battle team researches each character's weapons, armor, abilities, and on-screen feats across their entire source material before simulating the outcome.

The methodology is a huge part of why fans argue so passionately about the results.
