For this list I'm focusing on matchups we didn't get duel arrangements for, but I might do another part with some existing pairings later.

- Metal Ajit Pai × Thanos: "Immortals" from Big Hero 6, which was basically just Disney's attempt at a mecha film.

- Metal Ajit Pai × Mariya Takeuchi: "THE WINNER" (translated in English as "BACK TO PARADISE"), one of the opening themes for Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Both versions were written/performed by city pop legend Miki Matsubara.

- Off the Hook ft. Paruko × MissingNo.: "#14 crush" from Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion could work pretty well in a glitch hop style.

- Thanos × The Jazz Cats: "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" from The Aristocats, which is honestly the dual rip that surprised me most when it didn't happen.

- Thanos × HOBaRT: These two had a number of dual rip possibilities, but two I wanted to see most are "Beyond the Sea" by Bobby Darin (used in Finding Nemo, which takes place in Australia's surrounding oceans) and the Dream World theme from the Ratatouille video game (these take place in worlds literally made out of food).

- Adam Levine × Mr. Krabs: "Sweet Victory" is what most wanted out of these two, but I think "Crab" by Weezer is more fitting (if a little on-the-nose).

- Johnny Bravo × Rhythm Masters: "Meat Beat Mania: FLAMBÉE!", music from a rhythm game in the world of Steven Universe.

- Mr. Krabs × The Jazz Cats: A jazz arrangement of "Eastside Story", used in that one noir episode of SpongeBob SquarePants.

- Mariya Takeuchi × Daft Punk ft. Pharrell: The fact that these two contestants never collaborated is a huge missed opportunity, considering future funk itself is descended from Daft Punk and French Touch as a whole. I think "Love Beam" by Agrume (a future funk song with vocoded lyrics) could work well with "Digital Love" by Daft Punk if the latter's vocals were transposed accordingly.

- Mariya Takeuchi × Dr. Piccolo: "City Hunter〜Ai yo kienaide〜" by Yoshiaki Ohuchi. As the name implies it's the first opening theme for City Hunter, whose manga was serialized by Weekly Shōnen Jump. This could technically work with Law & Disorder instead of Mariya since the show's plot is kinda mystery/crime related, but I think she makes more sense stylistically (this song is practically city pop, plus VANTAGE// did a future funk remix of it).

- Mariya Takeuchi × HOBaRT: "Suteki na Holiday", a Christmas song by Mariya Takeuchi. It was used in, of all things, a KFC commercial.

- Mariya Takeuchi × MissingNo.: Remember the depressing and glitchy dual arrangement "Drifting Away" between MissingNo. and Johnny Bravo? I'd like to see something like that but with "What a Broken Heart Can Do" by Takako Mamiya. Its lyrics already fit super well with MissingNo.'s character, plus it kinda references the minor urban legend surrounding Mamiya's sudden disappearance from the public eye after her first (and only) album.

- Rhythm Masters × Eminem: A salsa-styled arrangement of "Sana Morette Ne Ente", which has appeared in numerous rhythm games like beatmania APPEND GOTTAMIX2 ~Going Global~ and Dance Dance Revolution 5thMIX.

- MissingNo. × Law & Disorder: "It's Gonna Get Weird", an unused villain song from Gravity Falls. The show falls under L&D's "mystery" genre, plus it wouldn't be hard to give this a glitchy makeover. Fun fact: this song was written by the one and only Neil Cicierega!
