Those are all great fights ngl. It's hard to choose just one.
Aye haha, its very rare I enjoy so many fights in a series, especially back to back! Such an absolutely rare treat!
I was invested in Beelzebub too but I feel his character fell flat. So many loose ends that were not tied together. The entire Satan thing practically wasted. Beel was one of my top 5 or so, but fell to the bottom of the list after that. Yeah he has a cool design, cool powers, but so much wasted potential. I hope it's not really wasted and is addressed in the future, which might bump up Beel again for me. But if not..
Aye I completely understand and can relate. Before the fight even, it seemed like Beel was gonna be setup to be a HUGE player and gamechanger, one to really screw over the Gods and Ragnarok instead, maybe conspiring with Odin in that regard too imo or doing his own agendas too. He felt like a late game type character so I was stunned to find out he was fighting next too.
I really liked his relationship with Hades and Hades being the only one who could kill him and free him from his cursed fate, but maybe surely another strong enough God could or another underworld/death-related God like Hel or Anubis?
Given he won his fight and is still alive ofc, I strongly believe the author has much more planned for him and he spared him intentionally for that reason, I just hope I'm not wrong about that. I've been confused on why Jack survived his fight too, I saw a "spoiler" from a side story/novel that Jack
is not the actual Jack the Ripper but was confirmed to be the man who killed Jack instead, so hes an imposter and more of a hero ironically, but its debatable on how "canonical" that is is too.
I also saw a cool theory that Jack will use his Volund to arm humanity against the Gods and cause a deicide genocide, a genocide of the gods I mean. "Ragnarok" even haha.
Yeah Tesla was soooo good. He completely stole the show for me. Absolute legend. And he went out in a GOAT way too.
Right?! I thought he was gonna out sacrificing himself with the last Tesla coil to use that warp move again, the way he just warped his fist only was really cool and made me remember how I wished to see Blackbeard do the same thing for decades now almost lol. Ironically Tesla reminded me of Whitebeard in his own final moments like WB too, he had that same sort of epic, grandstanding, the nobility and caring for others, standing proud as he died, head held high with dignity/honour and inspiring millions of others and the future etc.
Ironically Tesla was fighting a guy with vibration powers too hahaha! Also the "devil" and a guy themed with black and death and so on ofc! Zehahaha!
Yeah Beel is a mad scientist too after all, and what he did to Zero was fucked up, I agree.
Tesla was so great lol. The Ironman of RoR.
Aye exactly. Great point. I thought BB was wasted in that regard too, with all that experimentation he was doing and how it went nowhere, it just felt like a random aspect of him that was implied to be much more important but wasn't. But I think his role is far from over too though.
Poor Zero was suffering so much but I REALLY liked his relationship and contrast with Buddha, maybe the most thoughtprovoking fight for me too. Buddha handled him so masterfully and then he brought it back again with Bruunhilde recently, mentioning a "puberty joke" with her too hahaha! I'm so glad he's still around for now at least, Buddha is so fucking likeable its unreal!
Buddha just kept getting better and better in his fight too, like Hades and QSH too and the backstories for those two were absolutely peak too, I feel so damn spoiled by this series!
Tesla was so great lol. The Ironman of RoR.
"And I...am...Tesla!" *snaps fingers* Man, Tesla always thinking of the future and others before himself really reminded me of the growrth of Tony Stark in the MCU at least and his final moments too. Tony was such a man of the future too ofc and Tesla feels like what Tony could have been like as a person and was becoming already too by the end.
Men and people like that are truly one of a kind, truly extraordinary, wonderful people.
They really do represent the best of us and what we can be too, our potential, our growth, our "future". Tesla reminded me why I used to love science especially Physics too. Hell I just found out yesterday one of my bosses from work and also a girl from my other job are both massive IT/computer nerds, they love video games too and my boss LOVED not only computing but also science like me including physics!
Cant be a coincidence, considering how much Ive missed Physics and Science myself haha. Always thinking of the future, there is something truly beautiful in there somehow, much like the romance of adventure and exploration but this time its more in terms of time rather than physical distance and locations ofc.
Tesla is legit one of my favourite characters in any series now. I couldnt have asked for a better performance, writing nor sendoff for him. Pure peak fiction genuinely.
Aye I'm certain we will too. The author keeps showing more of those buff dude things with her, maybe stone figures like Medusa and thus living statues or something and Medusa is Greek too, so maybe Aphrodite will be similar too somehow? Boa Hancock has a love themed fruit and she turns people into stone and Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty, fetrtility and love ofc...
"Aphrodite is the
ancient Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty, identified with Venus by the Romans. She was known primarily as a goddess of love and fertility and occasionally presided over marriage" Welp lmao.
Im hoping we get Athena and Artemis at some point though, but also Freya and Hel. Idk how long this story is gonna go on for but I suspect the tournament wont be the end of the story but just a prelude to the real or rest of the story, maybe the tournament will get extended or a 2nd one will happen somehow or something? Or just an all out war vs humams and Gods? Or even a mix of humans and Gods vs some other humans and Gods depending?
Thor fought in round 1. And Loki and Odin are on the fighters list too.
Aye haha, I can't wait for their turns! I forgot about
Dre Thor somehow there LMAO!
Anubis is there like you mentioned.
Aye, hopefully he wont be the only one! I'd like to see at least see more Indian Gods like Vishnu, Lakshmi, Krishna (especially him as my grandmother was named after him too), Ganesha, Hanuman (especially him too or Sun Wukong at least for China ofc lmao)
Ares is a meme in the RoR fandom ngl lol.
Lmaooo I can imagine! I adore him so much, hes so damn earnest, goofy and just likeable somehow! I thought he was gonna be scummier tbh lol.
Yeah it's a prevalent theory that Goll will be the final Volund.
Aye, its gonna be her inevitable big character moment and development like Koby in OP recently ofc. Or Gohan vs Cell.
Qin vs Hades was one of my faves too. Both are in my top 3 faves so that fight was both awesome and sad for me cuz I knew one of them was gonna die.
Ooooh nice! Yeah I noticed you seemed to really like QSH and Hades so I can imagine you're suffering there too, its another fight where I wanted both to win and neither to die too, so I can relate. Goes to show how great the author is at writing characters too ofc!
Yeah you can tell a lot from their expressions and mannerism. Yeah agree, both sides are paid respect to by the author and made possible to cheer for.
Aye exactly! This series is such a gem, so much of it is so wonderfully crafted, its unreal! Such love, character and passion!
Glad to hear that my man.
Thank you very much!
:cheers:
Also btw OMFG your Rukia pfp and sig! I love them so much! Gosh I NEED to watch that episode already, ive been too distracted lately! Especially since its my girl and FINALLY getting to see her biggest moment, her Bankai revealed! I legit cried from happienss when I saw in the manga too!
