Psalms 55:22
Great point here. The Onyx Bandits as of now have zero chemistry. Zero chemistry = Bad teamwork.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 theoppowerful 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.
And with Maki, yeah, she's still a mystery right now. Just gotta progress the rp and she'll be introduced in due time.
Let's elaborate now.King, Sia, Eliezier and Magnus vs. Some feathery creatures?
Ez clap for the Big Three (and Magnus).
