Death Battle has revealed that the next match-up will be Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s Aang fighting Genshin Impact‘s The Traveler, for what is sure to be a transcendent battle of elemental control.

Death Battle is a web series in which fictional characters are pitted against each other, beginning with a research-based look at the characters’ abilities and histories, followed by an animated fight sequence that uses the data to determine the outcome. The series has become a fun example of that classic nerd argument about who would win in a fight. The series’ future was at risk after the closure of its parent company, Rooster Teeth. Death Battle is now crowdfunded and supported through Kickstarter and YouTube memberships, and is owned by its co-creators.
