DEATH ANALYSIS: THE MANIACAL, MUSTARD-COLORED MIMICKING MACHINE OF MAYHEM

Emerl the Gizoid

The Ultimate Being


HISTORY


"Show... power... OR I sh...all ob...ey... Sha...ll conqu...er a...ll..."

One of the Gizoids created by the Nocturnus Clan as weapons of mass destruction and the strongest one by far. When it was created, it was so powerful that the Nocturnus Clan had to be sealed away into the twilight cage (which came to be known as the Argus Event) because of the sheer power that it and the other Gizoids contained. The mustard-colored Gizoid itself, in an ironic twist of fate, was the only thing from that civilization to escape the event. History eventually regarded this particular Gizoid as the one who destroyed this mighty ancient civilization while the Gizoid itself eventually became lost over the millennia.

More than 4000 years later, fifty years prior to the events of Sonic Battle (And around the same time as Project Shadow), the Gizoid was discovered by Dr. Gerald Robotnic in a warehouse, who then took the strange machine to the Space Colony ARK. Dr. Robotnic created a link - an invisible bond - with the Gizoid and discovered that it could learn how to do anything, and that it became stronger when it absorbed Chaos Emeralds. Project: Gizoid was eventually started, where the doctor equipped the Gizoid with with a "Free-Willed Emotions-based AI" and a "heart" where Dr. Robotnic infused the Gizoid with a piece of his Granddaughter Maria's soulin an attempt to get rid of it's destructive nature. Project: Gizoid was left unfinished as the doctor had to turn the Gizoid over to G.U.N. in order to buy more time to complete project Shadow, however, the Gizoid apparently had plans of it's own. It copied a large percentage of the ARK's weaponry and went berserk, destroying some of the ARK in the process. The government finally decided that the Doctor's research was too dangerous for mankind and canceled Project Shadow and killed all who knew about or were involved in it.

Gerald's grandson, Dr. Ivo Robotnic (a.k.a. Eggman), eventually located the Gizoid, but finds him useless and discards it on a beach where it is found by Sonic the Hedgehog and forms a link with the blue blur. After showing off his moves, in an amazing lack of imagination Sonic names the mysterious robot "Emerl", in reference to the Chaos Emeralds. Emerl then lives with Sonic and friends in his daily life, learning, making friends, getting stronger and absorbing Chaos Emeralds. All is well until Emerl yet again goes berserk at the sight of Eggman's Final Egg Blaster, which required Sonic to defeat him to stop him from destroying the Earth but inadvertently destroys Emerl after their battle. Emerl's parts were later used by Eggman to make a robot named "Gemerl" but that's a story for another blog.


COPY ABILITY

Emerl's most notable ability and definitely his best. Quite frankly, Emerl's copy ability is overpowered as fuck. By using two skills known as "Skill Get" and "Skill Copy", Emerl can copy damn near anything. The process in which this is done is whenever Emerl sees something, he'll convert whatever he saw into data then execute the copied action with perfect accuracy and be able to use it on the same level as the technique's owner.

The things Emerl's copy ability has been shown to copy are:

  • Fighting stances and posture
  • Attack moves
  • How an individual moves (The way they walk and run for example)
  • Stats (Super Strength, Speed, etc.)
  • Weaponry (Amy's hammer, Chaos Gamma's weapons, Tails' gadgets)
  • Magic
  • Energy (Chaos energy)
  • Elemental manipulation (Geo, Pyro and Electrokinesis)
  • Voices
  • Vocabulary
  • Personality (including likes and dislikes)
  • Coloration
  • Living beings (He copied Cheese the Chao and can summon the copy at any time to use when mimicking Cream and Cheese's attacks)

A lot of stuff right? Now by now you must be thinking "An ability that powerful must have some drawbacks right?" and you'd be right. It does have flaws. Three to be exact:

  • Emerl is unable to to copy one's physical form or appearance, which means he can't pull off Ditto or Mystique shenanigans.
  • Should Emerl copy too many things at once, he'll revert to his original programming and become a savage, war-hungry machine hell-bent on destruction.
  • If Emerl were to copy a weapon or attack with an absurdly high amount of power, He'll revert to his original programming.

Now ordinarily the last two flaws would be a huge problem for Sonic and Co. if Emerl reverted to his destructive state, but in a DEATH BATTLE? They're a godsend. Emerl will focus only on killing his opponent, won't care about protecting anything around him, won't hesitate in any of his attacks and won't try to prolong the battle for his own enjoyment. The is the mindset any character wants to have in a DEATH BATTLE if they want to win. Of course, it's unlikely that most potential opponents for Emerl would actually be able to trigger these flaws so this is a bit unlikely to happen.

Final Egg Blaster Data



This one is a bit special. The Final Egg Blaster was the main cannon equipped to Eggman's Death Egg 2, and was capable of firing a huge laser strong enough to wipe out a few stars within seconds. Obviously this puts this particular move at multi star level destructive capacity with massively faster than light speed. It should be noted however that Emerl may need 60 seconds to charge it as Eggman had the original Final Egg Blaster set to fire after 60 seconds.

Upon seeing the Final Egg Blaster fire for the first time, Emerl went berserk after seeing the insane amount of power in this weapon with exposed one of the flaws in his Copy Ability and made Emerl revert to his original programing.


So let's do a short overview of Emerl's stats with all of this data copied. He gets hypersonic movement speed and reactions from Sonic and Shadow and Knuckles' strength (who can supposedly lift 100 metric tons) coupled with Amy's berserker rage. He gets a slew of top of the line weaponry from Chaos Gamma which is great considering Eggman's tech has been stated to outclass G.U.N.s' by a longshot, all of Tail's quirky gadgets, Amy's Hammer along with all the bomb weapons every character has and a fucking multistar busting, MFTL energy cannon. He can utilize Chaos Control in a variety of ways like creating rifts and distorting space-time via Shadow. Finally, he has some really strange attacks via Cream & Cheese and Chaos 0 that'll make for some unpredictable or wonky attacks.

Personality wise, he's an impatient smart ass, with a good sense of justice who just loves to have fun but can be kind and caring. So pretty much just Sonic with a potty mouth and generally nicer to people.

It should also be noted that Emerl is implied to know Metal Sonic, though it is unclear if Emerl actually has any copied data from him, so I won't be counting Metal's abilities. The same applies to the weaponry Emerl copied from the ARK.


EQUIPMENT


Chaos Emeralds



Seven ancient, mystical jewels of tremendous power. Using chaos energy, they can warp time and space and when used by a person, that person's true potential will be unlocked through a process known as Super Transformation.

Over the course of Sonic Battle, Emerl absorbs all seven of the Chaos Emeralds getting smarter and stronger with each one. Upon absorbing the seventh emerald, Emerald's original programming kicks in and third eye opens, but is negated when Shadow puts in a password that would supposedly stop Emerl from ever going back to his original destructive programming again.


FORMS


Well it's actually just one form really and it's more of a mode than a form...

Ultimate Emerl



Emerl at the peak of his power. After absorbing all seven of the Chaos Emeralds and having his original programming activate even after Shadow put in the password, Emerl achieved this state.

As "Ultimate Emerl" Emerl can use all of the copied data he has gathered and use it all at the same time allowing him to create new, vastly improved powers based on his old ones that feature far superior range, power and effects. Ultimate Emerl also has the ability to greatly amplify the powers and stats he has absorbed such as sonic's speed for example, which when amplified allowed Emerl to move at at least high hypersonic speeds. Also, Ultimate Emerl can lift at least a few hundred tons seeing as he copied Knuckles' strength.

Oh, and remember how the Final Egg Blaster could take out a cluster of stars within seconds? Imagine that being boosted to several times it's original power, range and speed with added effects from his other abilities...Just let that sink in.


RECOMMENDED MATCH-UPS


Mega Man




Both overpowered robots with copy abilities, arm cannons and a fuckton of powers. This could definitely be an interesting match-up what with both of them having a wide array of abilities and weapons out the ass. Mega also may be able to overload Emerl's copy ability by using different powers back to back so that could yield some fun results.

Metal Sonic




Okay, now before anyone starts complaining about same-universe fights, go watch episodes 4, 5, 6 and 14 of DEATH BATTLE. Now, Again, this is a match between two robots with copy abilities and other broken abilities, but this can actually get a bit interesting thanks to Metal's ability to scan and copy powers rather than having to see them like Emerl and the fact that Metal also has data on most of the character's Emerl has absorbed along with his black shield that will ensure that he won't just be turned into a scrap heap 30 seconds into the battle.
