Ooooh, we've got a pirate in the lineup now.

Ah, yes, I missed a key word.

I really like the concept of her being a Siren turned hunter. Although, I'm not sure where her oceanic parts of her abilities are supposed to work. I don't recall there being any oceans in the Rhythm Nation so far. Maybe I'm not caught up with the geography of the nation yet. Are there any oceans near Ironshire?

Not near Ironshire but I believe in the very do thern part of the Rhythm Nation are coasts. I don't remember if I put anything between the nation and the ocean lol

 

[Kumii]

And her Oceanic stuff is really only Oceanic Command and that's it

I agree though. The Shugoshas are siblings are some of the strongest the Seiryoku has to offer. I imagine they'd have a knowledge of each others weaknesses, so there's an inherent sense of teamwork there.

Then you got what Alpha described.

The Shugoshas might pull ahead in just... pure experience because, and hear me out here, this is still the prequel. SO Kishi's villain status isn't 'established' here. He's just a normal citizen for now. He's still strong but very young in terms of the lifespan of his kin. Ryuuni is strong and wise but he's mainly held back by Nia, Kishi and August. August's factor being that they don't appear to have any real experience with the Sword (correct me if I'm wrong here Alpha.). And Nia is literally still learning so she'd be bound to make mistakes.

If we're forgoing their novice natures though, then I'd say the matchup is entirely even for both sides.

Shugosha definitely have the experience in this case.

You're kinda right with August. She inherited the Sword when she was younger, and she was pushed harshly by her parents to train with it. So, she has trained with it, as well as had practice matches with Lilliana and other Luceros, but she's never been in a real, all bets off fight that the Shugosha have faced many times.

In the map I never got around to finishing, all the nations were separated by ocean. Well, not all of them entirely. I think Oghma and Norheim were supposed to be connected since they share a border. Same with Rhythm and Desert. But there were definitely oceans. I never questioned if there would be oceans so they happened.

Yo alpha did you just forget that your own character was non-binary

Bro-

I was looking at their sheet like a minute before I posted that too and specifically thought 'oh right I forgot they were nonbinary', only to then go and use the wrong pronouns.

I'd like to formally apologize, August. That was messed up lol

Nah, it's too late for apologies. You're getting cancelled for sure.

Yeahh, I feel like that might be a driving key here. Now, don't get me wrong, the kids are strong. I believe that older versions of them would definitely be able to defeat the Shugoshas. They have a ton of potential.

But for now, I feel the Shugoshas would take the dub here. What do you two think?

As much as I hate to do my dragonkin boy =wrong...

I agree here.

Yeah, I agree. They have the experience and some more power of the Dragonfist group.

Aight, so with 3/3 votes for The Shugoshas and Heath, they pull through to the next round. Ryunni and his students have great chemistry and coordination, but not compared to the likes of the siblings, leading to their loss in this first round. But I say give them some time to develop in the G-League, and they'll be surely be able to deal with the veteran players next time around.

Our next match up is...dang, do we have to talk about this one? It's Kumii and Mei versus the Onyx Bandits. Sounds pretty unfair, but let's still break it down.

Kumii is one of, top three for sure, the most powerful characters in the world that aren't gods. Maybe even one of the strongest on the bracket. And Mei is one of the most tactically intelligent on the bracket as well, with outlandish abilities to back it up. She's missing her other half, Jin, which doesn't give them the trio power they'd originally have.

Meanwhile, we have to Onyx Bandits, who have been--or were---a versatile trio since they were teenagers. They each specialize in a category that compliments the other. Castro is the brains, being smart enough to evade Ironshire's guard for years. Maki is the support, with fast working healing abilities and tricky sound techniques to keep the other two alive. And Kuragiri is the brawn, having a high magic output maximum which allows him to smother his opponents with searing flames.

Things to keep in mind:
- Kumii and Mei are both naturally physically stronger than the trio.
- Castro and Mei have similar levels of battle IQ.
- None of Kumii and Mei's fire magic abilities will work against Kuragiri.
- Mei has the traits "Final Stand" and "Last Stand", which make her stronger if she is struggling in battle.
- Kumii is OP.
- Mei can heal her allies from afar.
- Kumii is OP.
- Kuragiri can go toe-to-to with stronger opponents.
- Kumii is OP.

Let's hear it.

Order from left-side downward:
Luminosa's Guard vs. Ironshire's Guard
The BHA SSS-Ranks (with Magnus) vs. Harpys (a large cluster of them)
Heath and Shugoshas vs. Nia, Ryunni, and Kishi (plus August to make it even) [Heath and the Shugoshas win!]
Misfits vs. Skyla Squad (minus Mika) [Skyla Squad wins!]

Order from right-side downward:
The Dragonslayers vs. The Seiryoku Empire Troops
The Death Knight and Generals vs. No one, because no group deserves to go out that early.
Kumii and Mei vs. The Onyx Bandits
Queen Maria's Royal Guard vs. The Death Knight's Creations and Horsemen [Royal Guards win!]

Well, Kumii can just use True Desolation and essentially halves Kuragiri's firepower. Sure it gives boosted fire damage but since Kumii and Mei are Demons they'd be immune. It also eliminates Castro's water attacks.

Honestly, Kumii alone can significantly limit the Onyx Bandits' firepower purely with True Desolation alone lol

It uh... leans heavily in favor of Kumii and Mei here lol

Yeah, it halves Kuragiri's wind and fire magic, making him weaker. Castro's water is taken away, leaving him with only ice magic, which also isn't very strong in this state.

It'd basically strip those two of their magic, leaving Maki's sound abilities. Ballistic Note might be able to do just a bit of damage, maybe more if demons have enhanced hearing, but all in all they're cooked.

No plan Castro hatches up could get them the win here. The plan will just be to high tail it out of there.

Castro:

Kuragiri: "Shit, Castro what do we do?! Our magic is useless!" *looks around*

"Where he go"

[Kumii]

So yeah. I think its pretty clear who the win goes to in the Kumii & Mei vs Onyx Beetles fight.

 

[SharkBark]

With two votes (alpha you gotta get here a little earlier homie), Kumii and Mei take the win against the Onyx Bandit, with little difficulty.

Moving across the bracket, we have the match-up between The BHA SSS-Ranks versus a large cluster of Harpies (Led by Lulu'ramah). Let's assume somewhere around twenty-five.

Order from left-side downward:
Luminosa's Guard vs. Ironshire's Guard
The BHA SSS-Ranks (with Magnus) vs. Harpies (a large cluster of them)
Heath and Shugoshas vs. Nia, Ryunni, and Kishi (plus August to make it even) [Heath and the Shugoshas win!]
Misfits vs. Skyla Squad (minus Mika) [Skyla Squad wins!]

I'd like to make a point about the other matchup real quick. Doesn't change the end ruling in anyway though.

I think there's another factor to talk about here. If we're talking about the Onyx Bandits current day, they have one glaring disadvantage to them, never mind the state of the op powerful enemy team. They aren't exactly friends anymore. In fact, Castro and Kuragiri are kind of always trying to kill each other currently. Especially after Castro and Rori rightfully whooped some ass, Kuragiri must be absolutely fuming and biding his time for his revenge on Castro. These two crazy kids provide a reason that the Onyx Bandits would lose hard, and that's because they have this cycle of violence with each other that doesn't make for good teamwork. We haven't seen much of Maki at all, really just her sheet so far, so we don't know where she stands currently with the boys. Presumably, Castro and Maki were still together after the argument between Castro and Kuragiri that led to Kuragiri's capture. But what happened with them afterwards? Why wasn't Maki with Castro in his secret hideout in Ironshire when Rori and Aleph stumbled onto the scene? Where even is she currently? And how would she respond to seeing the boys again? We're uncertain about how things were left with her, and what her response would be to seeing the boys again. We know that she was the glue holding things together, but that stressed her out a lot in the past, and with the way things are now between all of them, who knows if she'd be able to handle that.

Now, I don't doubt that if push came to shove and the Onyx Bandits were shoved into a room with 5,000 enemies coming at them with the legitimate end goal of murdering all three of them that they could put aside their differences and work together again. But that still leaves them rusty working as a team again, with the added factor of still hating each other. Castro and Kuragiri still hate each other's guts, meaning teamwork is probably still gonna be lacking. At least not what it was before in their heyday.

Basically, this is me offering another answer as to why the Onyx Bandits would lose besides 'other team is way too op' (I mean you're not wrong on that point, but we've got a unique team to work with in the Onyx Bandit side because of their current relations that gives us another reason on top of that). Aka me being the one who always looks at things from a narrative perspective.
