Bud Knight VS Pepsiman
Bud Knight VS Pepsiman
(Bud Light VS Pepsi)
“Each sip of a refreshing drink is like a momentary escape from the chaos of life.”
Bud Knight, Bud Light's timeless recently re-inducted mascot and immortal warrior.
Pepsiman, Pepsi's legendary unstoppable force against thirst and abandoned mascot.
One of the most important parts of branding for any business is a great and memorable mascot. And well, these two brands have struck gold with these unforgettable mascots, although they have been rather mistreated by their brands. But which defender of refreshment will live another day? That's what we'll answer as we analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win… a DEATH BATTLE!
Before We Begin
It's simple, so let's do it quick. We will use all of the Dilly Dilly ads and Twitter posts for Bud Knight, and use all Pepsiman ads, his PlayStation game, and his crossover in Fighting Vipers. We will not, however, use Bud Knight's crossover scaling to Game of Thrones, as it's simply not canon for Game of Thrones, so it's hard to justify scaling their feats. Neither will we use Pepsiman's scaling to Fighting Vipers characters after the first game, since the verse power crept to an absurd degree after the first game, and Pepsiman did not return for its sequels.
Backgrounds
Bud Knight
There exists countless tales of great powerful mysterious heroes throughout all history, but none have been as mystical and unknown as the story of the Bud Knight.
Supposedly being an immortal knight since the very least 1436, the Bud Knight is a defender and loyal supporter of the Bud Light brand. The Bud Knight would serve his kingdom with great honor, but as time went on, an immortal like himself would face his greatest challenge yet… adapting to the modern world.
To which he would gladly join the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL. While he originally planned to actually play for the team, he decided to become a beer server which worked as an excellent mascot for them.
Or at least that was so until 2019’s Super Bowl, where the Bud Knight would face the Mountain from the titular ‘Game of Thrones’ series and be supposedly killed by his hands. This unexpected tragedy left everyone stunned and in tears, but for an immortal like the Bud Knight, this would be no pushover and he would wake up from his coma a month later just as alive as always at the sound of Italian food.
After all his countless journeys, fights, and adventures, without explanation, the Bud Knight would seemingly be left forgotten and jobless by the very brand he swore loyalty to in 2021… or so it was, until June 2023, where the recent activity on his social media account stating that he is back. We may not know what the future of the Bud Knight holds, but one thing is for certain, he will always remain as a hero of his brand, no matter how horrible it may treat him back.
Pepsiman
Way back in the 1990s, Pepsi in Japan was losing badly to Coca-Cola; it seemed as if they were obsolete. That was until a mysterious entity emerged, with skin made of aluminum and Pepsi in their veins. This entity is known as Pepsiman!
This creature made it his mission to quench the thirst of the masses, as he'd travel place to place simply to fulfill the request of Pepsi. With a "SCHWAAAA," the Pepsi would be created, quenching the thirst.
Along with doing this, he'd do daring acts of athleticism to show how "cool" Pepsi was, although this usually leads to painful accidents, but alas, that wouldn't stop him.
This allowed Pepsiman to be elected promoter of the Pepsi Company, becoming their spokesman, with his brand being iconic throughout the years,and his presence still being felt even decades after he was retired as their mascot.
Arsenal
Bud Knight
Bud Lights
The Bud Knight’s drink of choice of course. The Bud Knight loves the good ol’ taste of a cold beer before, during and after battle, and as so, keeps several types of Bud Lights at hand, whether it’s in a can, bottle, or package (might be cannibalism too)
Trusty Sword
The Bud Knight’s most powerful weapon. A great sword the Bud Knight is able to wield not just to slash foes, but produce large bursts of energy during combat setting ablaze its blade with blue fire.
Bud Light Armor
The Bud Knight’s iconic armor! It is forged entirely from Bud Light cans and covers every body part from head to toe.
Las Vegas Raider Armor
An armor the Bud Knight wore during a game for the Las Vegas Raiders. No real differences besides the color.
Horse
The Bud Knight’s most loyal steed. There doesn’t seem anything supernatural about it, but it’s got a pretty cool Bud Light themed armor.
Jousting Equipment
Comprised of a lance and shield, these were the equipment the Bud Knight used to face off against the Mountain during the Super Bowl. The Bud Knight has also previously stated that he is a terrible jouster.
Bow and Arrow
Simply a bow the Bud Knight used to ace a target when showing off.
Phone
The tool with which the Bud Knight has been able to communicate and spread the world of his story with the world. He uses it to access his Twitter. X. Xitter account.
Zamboni
The very same zamboni the Bud Knight used to cut the ice of a game of The Washington Capitals before they won.
Pepsiman
Pepsi Cans
It's as refreshing as it can be dangerous, Pepsi has a sweet cola taste and the can has the possibility of being used as a weapon. The lightweight and sturdy nature of the aluminum can make it an easy choice for Pepsiman if he's looking to cause harm. It can be hurled at people as a projectile, causing injury and pain. This is, however, not a common occurrence, as Pepsiman would rather drink the can or give the can to someone rather than chuck it.
Pepsi Twist Bottles
Pepsi Twist is a refreshing remix of Pepsi mixed with a Lemon Flavor, but just like the can, the bottle has the potential to be used as a weapon. Its sturdy plastic material and curved shape could make it an ideal tool for self-defense, as it can be used to deliver precise blows or as a makeshift club, but like the Pepsi Can, it's still probably unlikely for Pepsiman to use it as a weapon.
Corvette
The iconic Pepsi Corvette is Pepsiman's choice of vehicle if he doesn't feel like running. It has a sleek exterior and luxurious interior with a powerful engine that can outrun and outmaneuver any normal person. (Blog not sponsored)
Snowboard
Pepsiman was shown snowboarding effortlessly on a mountain, their board easily sliced through the snow with a satisfying crunch. Alas, he'd make a really big turn that allowed him to soar in the air with the board to fulfill the request of some thirsty Snowboarders who craved Pepsi, but in doing that, he fell off a hill.
Surfboard
“Only Love can save them — But Where can love be found?…”
Pepsiman is a professional surfboarder, able to glide effortlessly through the water. The board's curved bottom and pointed nose slice through the waves with precision, allowing him to catch and ride them with ease. This surfboard's thickness and buoyancy provide stability and support, while its length and width determine its speed and maneuverability.
Skateboard
Rolling around at the speed of sound…
Pepsiman was shown being able to use a skateboard relatively well in a sloped street, skating effortlessly around cars and dodging people. The wheels of the board can spin furiously when picking up speed.
Pepsi Space Shuttle
Pepsiman was shown to be a passenger in the Pepsi Space Shuttle as a way to promote Pepsi. The shuttle was shown flying in space as he advertised the products while inside the spacecraft
Pepsi Twist Mask
The Pepsi Twist Mask is a cloth mask that Pepsiman uses to hide his identity whenever he advertises "Pepsi Twist." The mask, however, fails to hide his identity, and the one time it did hide his identity was when he was mistaken to be a bank robber.
Construction Helmet
Pepsiman was shown to wear a construction helmet; these helmets could help with his durability. Not only do they protect the head from falling debris during construction, but they also offer a layer of defense against blunt force trauma. The thick, durable material of the helmet absorbs impact and reduces the risk of serious injury during battle.
Weights
Pepisiman has been seen using training weights; these weights could potentially be used as weapons. Usually, these types of weights are designed to be lifted and manipulated during workouts but could potentially be swung around as makeshift weapons.
Baseball Bat
Purification in progress…
While Pepisman uses his baseball bat for playing baseball, it can also be used to inflict serious harm on another person. A baseball bat can be a deadly weapon, capable of causing severe injuries.
Axe
Pepsiman had been shown utilizing an axe; the axe's versatility allows for both close-range combat and long-range throws, making it a useful weapon despite Pepsiman’s… Lack of skill using it.
Abilities
Bud Knight
Bud Light Physiology
Yes, really. While never directly explained as to why to, the Bud Knight’s supernatural and immortal physiology seems to be unknowingly related to Bud Light, as he even bleeds Bud Light. Its biggest feat of immortality was showcased when the Bud Knight got his head crushed and burnt by a dragon, only for him to enter a coma-like state and heal back to full health within a month.
Power Bestowal
Not only that, but the consumption of his “blood” will grant anyone who drinks it the same abilities and physiology of the Bud Knight himself.
Pepsiman
Pepsiology
Yes, really². Pepsiman is made of a metallic material (likely aluminum, considering how much he resembles a soda can and from the creator’s description) which grants him superhuman endurance, being capable of surviving some serious punishment. Surviving large falls, being run over by vehicles, and running headfirst into walls are nothing but a nuisance to him, incapable of stopping him from achieving his goal of giving a cold Pepsi to those in need. He is not, however, invulnerable, as enough damage has made him wear casts, which implies he has bones, and if his skin is pierced, he will bleed out Pepsi from his wounds. (As shown in a scrapped commercial)
Pepsi Manipulation
Pepsiman has access to what's basically… Pepsi Magic. He can create Pepsi just by saying his iconic "SHWAAAAAAAAA!" As he points towards anyone, be it a single person or a group, Pepsi cans suddenly appear in their hands, immediately quenching their thirst and filling their taste buds.
Pepsi-Sense
Pepsiman has been shown to be able to almost instantly detect and find anyone who's thirsty for soda. It's likely either some sort of 6th sense specifically activated by people needing drinks, clairvoyance, or simply super hearing.
Martial Arts
In the world of Fighting Vipers, Pepsiman showcased his formidable martial arts skills in the arena. With his fast punches, kicks, and combos, his special ability was described as “Quenching one's thirst”.
Autonomous Pepsi Instinct
(Instinctive Reaction)
Pepsiman is shown to be able to dodge cars and motorcycles that are moving directly behind him without any warning, jumping right before they hit him. In the gameplay, a warning sign is shown in the UI, but in the lore, this should directly imply that Pepsiman can sense attacks before they happen. Also in the game, we've directly seen Pepsiman having his vision blocked by having a trash can stuck on his head. In the game, he was perfectly able to maneuver around his surroundings despite the blocked vision, making him perfectly able to fight even if he's blind.
Technology Manipulation
By using his pre-established “Pepsi Magic”, Pepsiman has been able to fix a computer that malfunctioned, paralyzing the proper world-wide supply of Pepsi to be delivered. With his powers, he instantly fixed the malfunction.
Resistances
Extreme Heat: Pepsiman has a notable resistance to fire, as he was seen unaffected by being boiled alive by a witch.

Scaling
Bud Knight
Lady Bud Knight
Originally a fanmade cosplay, the Bud Light brand liked this character so much, they decided to incorporate it into Dilly Dilly canon. Bud Knight should scale to all of her greats, as he himself granted her Bud Knight powers.
Before gaining her powers, withstood a blast caused by Bud Knight's sword at point-blank
Before gaining her powers, grabbed a flaming arrow mid-flight (68.5 m/s)
Game of Thrones
Imagine falling off so hard you manage to delete yourself from pop culture. Well, the Dilly Dilly ads have featured Game of Thrones crossovers, back when the show was still good.
Bud Knight survived getting his head crushed by The Mountain, and then being burned by a dragon.
Pepsiman
Fighting Vipers
Fun piece of trivia: Pepsiman cameoed in the fighting game Fighting Vipers as a playable character, back in 1995. Though he can't scale to anything from the sequel, he still has performed some impressive feats in that game.
Shatters a reinforced glass window by throwing opponents at it
Breaks through metal bars by throwing opponents at them
Takes down a concrete wall by throwing opponents at it (45 Megajoules)
Weaknesses
Bud Knight
For as mighty as the Bud Knight is, he is no god, only a demigod. For one, he overestimates himself a lot with his persona, acting cool against any problem until it ultimately bites him back, such as with his careless ‘death’ at the hands of the Mountain in a jousting competition (which he himself admits to suck at doing). Secondly, the Bud Knight hasn’t showcased as much fighting on screen in contrast to his background and stories. Finally, the Bud Knight has sadly showcased the fate of most brand characters, being dropped… several times… and as so, he has shown to be in depressive moods during certain periods of his modern existence.
Pepsiman
While Pepsiman may seem like an unstoppable force of pure Pepsi, that is not true. Heavy enough damage made him have to wear a cast to recover, and he needs to constantly drink Pepsi to keep his stamina. And though he seems to be brilliant enough to fixa Pepsi Supercomputer, he's also… Kind of a dumbass. He's repeatedly shown overestimating himself and trying to pull stunts to impress others, only for that to cause him to put himself in harm's way. He's also never been officially brought to the west, and hasn't made a single official appearance in the last decade, somehow being in a worse situation than his opponent.
Before the Verdicts
Bud Knight's Football
As seen in the feats section, Bud Knight's best attack pottency feat is supposedly kicking his football so hard it flew to orbit, assumption based on Bud Knight commenting to the Space Station to send his ball back. The feat's validity is questioned due to the fact that Bud Knight could just have been joking about it, or overestimating his strength. The Space Station also never replied to the tweet, so take that as you will.
Verdicts
Stats
Both Pepsiman VS Bud Knight have shown impressive feats, making this matchup not as obvious as it seems.
First off, strength: Pepsiman has been able to break through walls, wooden plates, sofas, and etc. Just by running at them, all of which get somewhere within the wall level, his most impressive feat coming from Fighting Vipers, where he's able to destroy a concrete wall just by throwing his enemy at it, which gets 45 Megajoules, or baseline Small Building level. Don't count Bud Knight out, though, as his feat of kicking a ball out of orbit gets around 25 Megajoules, still weaker, but by a rather small margin. Point goes to Pepsiman.
Now let's talk speed. Pepsiman has a clear movement speed advantage, being able to outspeed trucks and jump out of the way of speeding cars, getting clear subsonic speed. However, Bud Knight has a big advantage when reaction speed is concerned, as Lady Bud Knight’s arrow feat would make his reactions fast enough to keep up with Pepsiman’s movement speed. Additionally, the football feats getting Hypersonic speeds, as much as Mach 32, means Bud Knight would actually speedblitz Pepsiman in close quarters, giving him a clear win in this category.
Finally, the category they're most well-known for: durability. Both of these beverage warriors have gone through hell in their journeys, surviving more damage than any mortal man ever could. Pepsiman has hundreds of examples of his sheer resilience, surviving getting run over, hitting walls, and even falling from buildings. However, his best feat in this category would be fighting against the cast from Fighting Vipers, meaning he can take those same Small Building level attacks he dishes out with no issues. However, Bud Knight has survived a full lightning strike, which could get up to Large Building level, multiple times higher than any of Pepsiman's feats. The legendary Bud Knight takes durability, and the overall advantage when physical stats are concerned.
Abilities and Arsenal
Now moving on to the next category, while Pepsiman has more abilities, most of them are situational, and wouldn't help much in this fight. And even when they are useful, they cancel eachother out. Both of their physiologies are somewhat comparable, when considering they both bleed their own drinks and such, and Pepsiman's metal skin and Bud Knight's armor would serve similar functions to eachother.
That said, Pepsiman still has superior combat abilities. His instinctive reaction, in particular, would definitely help mitigate the speed gap. And while both carry their drink wherever they go, Pepsiman is the only one who can generate it whenever he feels like, refreshing himself to keep fighting for longer. As if Bud Knight didn't have enough of a disadvantage in this category, his regeneration, which could have been useful, is not combat applicable, as it takes months to take effect, drinking his blood gives his power to others, meaning that if Pepsiman managed to get through his durability and made him bleed, he could end up drinking his blood and gaining his powers, equalizing their stats. That is, however, unlikely, not only due to the AP/Durability gap between them, but also due to Pepsiman's loyalty to his brand. It is unlikely he'd just drink Bud Knight's blood, especially considering he doesn't know of it's strengthening properties. Overall, Pepsiman has better abilities.
Moving on to their arsenal, this is where Bud Knight starts to get an edge. While it is true that Pepsiman’s Corvette grants him better mobility than the knight's horse, Budd Knight has an overwhelming amount of weapons to throw at Pepsiman. While Pepsiman does carry some equipment with him, they pale in comparison the Bud Knight's sword, since it can shoot blasts of energy strong enough to move clouds, beating any ranged or close range option Pepsiman has. His bow and arrow is another way he can out range Pepsi's mascot. Bud Knight is clearly better equipped.
Considering both have an advantage in each field, it's safer to say they both tie this category, although Bud Knight's arsenal may be argued to be more helpful than Pepsiman's improved reactions.
Tertiary Factors
When considering tertiary factor, once again, both of them hold advantages in different areas. First off, Pepsiman has taken way more punishment without giving up, like when he got run over by a truck in the PSX game and was able to get up and keep going, while Bud Knight was put out of commission after getting his head crushed. Pepsiman would also be able to keep fighting for longer, as he generates his own Pepsi, which he uses to recover his stamina. His martial arts skill is also unmatched, as shown when he fought against the fighters from Fighting Vipers. On the flipside, while more skilled, he's definitely not as experienced. Bud Knight has lived for hundreds of years, fought multiple battles and killed dragons in his time fighting as the Bud Knight. This also means he has superior swordsmanship and archery skills, outranging Pepsiman both in short and long distances. Pepsiman has enough tertiary advantages to take the point here.

Conclusion
JunoTheProto
Greetings, exalted readers.
You have read the Verdicts, so let's not waste any time here. First, I'll say both of their mobility options will be more or less useless here. Pepsiman has a car, which is better than a horse, but it doesn't matter in the long run. Bud Knight is bad at fighting while on his horse, and Pepsiman’s car is just a bigger target for the knight’s sword beams. It is even less likely for the space station to be of any use. Pepsiman simply doesn't have the time to launch a massive space station into orbit while being chased around by Bud Knight.
Pepsiman's instinctive reaction may be useful to somewhat mitigate the speed gap, but it is still way too large for him to be able to keep up at all. Even if we assume his instinctive reaction is some Ultra Instinct level precognition, he's more than 150 times slower than Bud Knight.
Pepsiman has a lot of weapons he used once or twice, but Bud Knight's sword trumps all of them, greatly outranging any of Pepsiman's attack options. Pepsiman is a more skilled close quarter fighter, but he won't get the opportunity to throw hands before getting hit by the blue flames shot out of Bud Knight's sword dozens of times. Even if he got close, swords have better range than fists, obviously. Bud Knight isn't some dumbass with a sword either, as he's got centuries worth of experience fighting with a blade, meaning he could effectively shut down Pepsiman's attempts to attack him.
Even if Pepsiman got close, he'd still get stomped, since even if you don't buy Bud Knight getting the full orbital kick scaling, he still gets the energy from making the ball ablate and surviving a lightning strike. The difference between Bud Knight's AP and Pepsiman's durability is only 8 times, while the same AP/Dura gap for Pepsiman is 35 times, meaning he'll struggle more to deal lasting damage, and considering how much slower he is, he'll struggle to get a single hit in before getting knocked out by Bud Knight.
While they were both fierce protectors of their brands, Bud Knight had the speed, endurance, weapons and experience necessary to drown out the competition.
The winner is Bud Knight.

Alrighty so... I absorbed a lot of Pepsiman media, and tbh, I think he'd win; Pepsiman's stronger, and despite Bud Knight's better reaction Speed: Pepsiman has better running speed, which makes me think he's able to fight the battle a tad bit better due to potentially turning it into a "chase battle" with Bud Knight chasing him, allowing Pepsiman to come up with a strategy while running.
And it'd give Pepsiman time to use his instinctive reaction, as if he knew Bud Knight's attack pattern, he could potentially predict the attacks and dodge while putting his own punches in, while Bud Knight has the better Arsenal.
I still think Pepsiman could dodge the ranged attacks, and he has the potential to ram Bud Knight with the Pepsi Corvette, at least protect himself from the attacks with it, or potentially take the battle to space with the Pepsiman Shuttle, maybe tossing Bud Knight out into space.
Pepsiman, in my opinion, would win in a fight. Despite being less durable compared to Bud Knight and having a more likely hood for his attacks to be dodged, he's faster in movement and stronger in close range with his equipment, allowing him to extend his movement capabilities even further.

Hey, it’s me. The funny hat man. I’ve gotten into this… wacky matchup as a joke for a while until for a debate month in another server had this matchup. Me and Ultra tried our best to get Bud Knight win and… somehow we did it, what the hell?
And honestly this still checks out honestly, it’s mostly a statstomp into Bud Knight’s favor at the time. Bud Knight taking a electric bolt straight up puts him well safe into building levels in durability, though without the armor he’s probably weaker overall. However, Bud Knight being faster helps a ton in avoiding anything Pepsiman can throw out and put his sword into Pepsiman where it matters most. Soo imo Bud Knight should blitz and overwhelm Pepsiman overall
Now, if cross scaling is allowed, Pepsiman should take it fairly easily, but without it, Bud Knight has the edge overall.
Too bad bud knight is shit /j, i can’t drink
Ultra27
Hello readers, Ultra here.
Pepsiman is without a doubt one of those characters that has a gazillion of different matchups for no reason at all, and while Cool Spot is certainly good, I’ve always been drawn more to Bud Knight… even if it ends up being soda vs beer.
As to who wins, while Pepsiman possesses more content than Bud Knight (plus the presence he has) might fool you to believe that he will win, and while I do believe it is closer than most people expect, it’s quite clear cut once you tally up the numbers.
For starters, Bud Knight is simply far too fast and durable for him to be taken out by Pepsiman, while yes, Pepsiman has showcased overall better AP via breaking concrete walls, surviving a lightning bolt gets much higher than simple wall busting. And for as speedy as Pepsiman may appear, at best, he’d match the Bud Knight’s arrow catching scaling to Lady Bud Knight, and at worst, he’d get completely blitzed by Bud Knight just kicking a football so fast it sets on fire. And while we’re on topic, Bud Knight shouldn’t get the orbit kicking football feat, as it simply suffers from a lot of problems. With that said, Bud Knight should solidly take two out of the stat trinity, although Pepsiman does have faster movement speed.
As for their arsenal, while Pepsiman does posses a wider arsenal, it pales in comparison to Bud Knight’s own arsenal, which is more lethal in combat. And even then, Pepsiman using them in a fight would be very difficult, especially when the Bud Knight is faster and could just stop Pepsiman from entering his Corvette to gain the mobility advantage, or simply block his offensive arsenals with his shield and sword. And not to mention that Bud Knight’s sword and bow give him a larger range to get past Pepsiman’s movement speed. And while on that note, Bud Knight’s horse would help him close down that movement speed edge, although not completely.
Ability wise, Pepsiman has a very clear edge here, as showcased with his martial arts talent and instinctive reaction, the latter of which helps a lot against the Bud Knight’s speed edge.
While you could potentially make a case for Pepsiman outlasting and using his superior movement speed plus instinctive reaction to potentially pull in a win, I think one of the biggest factors in this fight that gets overlooked is experience.
Pepsiman has only been around since the 90’s, and while he has shown better combat potential on screen due to his crossover with Fighting Vipers, he has not much else to his combat experience. In contrast, the Bud Knight has existed since the 15th Century, had knight education, has fought in army fights, slayed dragons and a witch. Sure, he might not have the highest amount of on-screen fighting, but thanks to lore, he is a very skilled warrior that has existed for a pretty long time.
Pepsiman is no slouch, and I honestly underestimated him for this blog, but in the end, the Bud Knight’s better reaction speed, durability, deadly arsenal, and literal centuries worth of experience make this another one of the Bud Knight’s glamorous victories. Dilly-Dilly!
Final Tally
Team Bud Knight (3): JunoTheProto, Toppat Torchwick, Ultra27.
Team Pepsiman (1): Nick Edits.
The winner is Bud Knight.
