Not really looking forward to seeing the same thing again...
I hope it still ends up someone else fighting instead of Buddha.
I saw everything that Buddha has to offer, time to give others a chance.
Buddha fighting again will also fuck up the number of participants even more.
Originally we have: 13 Divinity vs 13 Humanity.
Buddha lolnoped and went to humanity: 12 Divinity vs 14 Humanity.
Hades replaced Buddha: 13 Divinity vs 14 Humanity.
Now that Divinity has 3 wins and Humanity has 4 wins, we got 9 Divinity vs 10 Humanity.
Subtracting from each victories, we got 6 Divinity vs 7 Humanity left with only 5 matches remaining. Divinity needs 4 more wins to be victorious, while humanity needs only 3.
Buddha getting killed will mean 1 W for Divinity to bring the score 4-4. This will leave us with with 6 Divinity vs 6 Humanity still with 4 matches remaining. This makes the Buddha 2nd fight even more unnecessary since no humanity's original remaining fighters is removed.
Ngl, tho, Buddha fighting again is a stupid idea. I'd rather the Divinity receives 1 more addition and have one of the fights being a tag team fight.
While Buddha is everybody's favorite character and we want him to survive, narratively speaking, he could be killed outside of the tournament without fucking up the order of the participating fighters.
