Chapter 28: Ryu Hayabusa vs Strider Hiryu
Ryu Hayabusa and Ninja Gaiden belongs to Tecmo.
Strider Hiryu belongs to Capcom.
Akame ga Kill belongs to Takahiro and Tetsuya Tashiro.
Lumosity and All Soundtracks are owned by their respective owners.
As Lubbock pressed play for the next episode, a new advertisement named Lumosity was mentioned and it gotten a few people even Sheele interested. Before the episode starts playing and it shows a ton of ninja stuff on it during the introduction.
(Cues Invader - Jim Johnston)
Wiz: Ninjitsu. Originally created by farmers to kill their oppressive samurai lords, the ninja has become one of the deadliest killers in history.
"Not to mention the real assassins of the night." Lubbock grinned.
"Though some of us prefer to crash in instead of being stealthy." Leone stated.
Boomstick: Like Ryu Hayabusa, the Ultimate Dragon Ninja.
Wiz: And Strider Hiryu, the High-Tech Mercenary.
"I can tell that this episode will be really exciting." Najenda grinned in interest, as she wanted to learn a lot about these ninja combatants.
Akame and Sheele seemed interested as well as they seem to like these two warriors already.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills, to find out who would win a Death Battle.
The first contestant is a man wearing a black skintight ninja suit with a scarf and no sleeves with it. He also has a metal plate on his head and wields a unique-looking katana in his hand.

Weight: 172 Ibs.
Age: 25
AKA Dragon Ninja & Master Ninja
Occupation: Antique Shop Owner
Animal Spirit: Peregrine Falcon
Hobbies: Mountain Climbing, Fishing, Eating Sushi, Kicking Ass
(Cues Ninja Gaiden (NES) - Main Theme *Orchestral*)
Wiz: His name literally meaning 'Dragon Falcon', Ryu Hayabusa was born in the Dragon-lineage legacy, and trained in the ways of the ninja from the moment he could crawl.
"Wow, and I thought the Empire's Assassin Test was harsh." Lubbock said.
"The ninja clans have a rule of training the children to peak physical condition to make sure they're ready for anything." Bulat informed.
Boomstick: How are you supposed to keep a baby in their crib when they can freakin' back-flip out of it?
After seeing baby Ryu doing a few things a normal baby can't do, they couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'll admit that would be cool if a baby does that kind of stuff." Leone admitted.
"But still cute." Sheele gushed as she liked baby Ryu.
Wiz: A prodigy in the art of combat, Ryu far exceeded his clan's expectations. When he turned 18, he donned the traditional blue garb, then single-handedly defeated both the criminal cult of Nostradomis and the army of Emperor Garuda.
"That's impressive." Bols complimented.
"He would make a great addition to Night Raid for his skills." Najenda commented.
"I agree." Akame agreed, as she seemed to be really interested in Ryu.
The next thing they see is his main weapon, which it was a single-edged katana that radiates with divine energy.
TRUE DRAGON SWORD
Hayabusa Clan Heirloom
Carved From a Dragon Fang
Eye of the Dragon Unleashes Sword's Full Power
Divine Blade
Practically Indestructible
Weak-Willed Cannot Wield It
True Power is Said to Upset the Balance of a Peaceful World (Which gotten some of them worried)
(Cues The Night of Lukifell - Ninja Gaiden)
Boomstick: And that was before his father gave him the Dragon Sword: a single-edged katana carved from the fang of a dragon which, when combined with the mystical eye of the dragon, becomes a divine blade of ultimate power.
"Wish my old sword is made of a dragon's fang." Tatsumi sighed a little.
"Well, some Imperial Arms are made from powerful Danger Beasts so it's kinda legit." Chelsea added.
"I want it." Akame said, as the Dragon Sword looked well with Murasame.
Wiz: It also has one serious security system. If someone other than a strong-willed Hayabusa attempts to wield it, the true Dragon Sword will feed on and eventually devour their soul.
"That is serious." Najenda commented.
"Indeed and imagine if the Imperial Arms have that kind of security." Bulat replied.
"Then some weak fool would be screwed except some that are exclusive to handle them." Mine answered.
Boomstick: I need that kind of tech for my car! Teach those damn caddy-smashing raptors a lesson.
They see a flashback scene of Riptor falling on Boomstick's car which makes the ones who watch that episode chuckle a bit.
"Still upset that Riptor lost." Lubbock pouted.
"Yeah." Leone sighed in agreement.
ARSENAL

Wiz: In addition Ryu has an enormous arsenal of various weaponry, including the Lunar Staff, Falcon's Talons, a Kusari-gama, basically a chain sickle, numerous types of, shurikens, bombs, bows, etc., etc.
"Damn, he's well-equipped." Lubbock whistled and took in some weapons to make with Cross-Tails later.
"I liked to have the Kusari-gama." Chelsea said.
Wiz: And the Eclipse Scythe: a weapon forged by werewolves and quenched in the blood of living human beings.
"Monsters can make their own weapons?" Seryu said in surprise.
"There are creatures that possesses intelligence, so we'll be careful for those types." Dr. Stylish commented.
Wiz: Because some people just have to do things the hard way.
Boomstick: *coughs a bit* The badass way Wiz.
"Damn straight." Leone grinned as she sees Ryu slicing hordes of enemies apart with the Eclipse Scythe.
"And manly too." Bulat complimented with a blush.
Boomstick: And if that wasn't enough, he's also a magician! But instead of pulling rabbits out of a hat, it's a fire dragon!
They see Ryu summon a fire dragon and it destroyed his enemies with ease.
"That's amazing." Sheele said.
"Pretty cool." Mine nodded in agreement.
Wiz: Uh, no, though that would make one impressive party trick.
Everyone laughed a bit as it would be a cool party trick.
NINPO
Art of the Inferno
Art of the Flame Wheel
Doppelganger
Blink [Teleport]
Art of Divine Life
Art of Substitution
Art of the Piercing Void
Hayabusa Torn Sky Blast
Wiz: Ryu channels the energies of his unusually strong spirit for mystical techniques called Ninpo.
"That's a unique set of techniques." Susanoo stated.
"And if we learn to use Ninpo, then it would make things a little more easier for us." Chelsea suggested.
"I agree." Akame agreed.
Boomstick: Well this ninpogician can summon fireballs, create a fighting shadow of himself, blow shit up with his own version of the Torn Sky Blast, and even seems to be able to teleport short distances... what the fuck, did he just turn into a bird?!
Susanoo looked very interested in the Torn Sky Blast technique and Chelsea liked the Doppelganger technique.
"But why does he turn into a bird when he teleports?" Tatsumi asked.
"Probably part of his strong spirit energy perhaps." answered Leone.
Wiz: Ryu's spirit is so unnaturally strong he can manipulate that spiritual energy to perform supernatural feats: like the bird thing, and surviving fatal wounds, though this psuedo-healing factor requires a lot of time, rest, and meditation to pull off.
"Now that's extremely helpful." Najenda commented.
"Yes, it will take some time but I think we can pull it off." Bulat added.
They see Ryu falling from the sky, grabs onto an armed soldier, then lands while stabbing him. Ryu then removes his sword from the goon's body, splattering a large amount of blood all over the ground.
"Awesome!" Lubbock and Leone both shouted.
"Now that's what I call an entrance." Dr. Stylish smiled.
(Cues Dead or Alive 2 - The Shooted)
Boomstick: Ryu is fast enough to deflect automatic fire, tough enough to land a 300-meter drop, and has developed a ninja sense, which anticipates danger. Like when a chick asks if she looks fat in a new outfit.
Mine scoffed at Boomstick's description of Ryu's Ninja Sense and Lubbock was nosebleeding at a red haired kunoichi wearing a blue ninja garb fighting Ryu.
Wiz: And despite mastering the ninja art of stealth, he tends to just rush in, swords swinging. Every. Single. Time.
"So much for stealth." Chelsea sighed.
"Not too mad about it." Akame stated ash she was like that anyways.
Boomstick: Hehe, whatever works.
"Yeah screw stealth, just crash in instead!" Leone shouted.
"Well some of us prefer doing things quiet you know." Chelsea said.
"Well none of us are like that." Lubbock replied.
FEATS
Won the 2nd DOA Tournament
Survived the Grip of Murder
Lands 300 Meter Drops Regularly
Has Slain Demons & Dragons
Defeated Dark Dragon, Doku, Tengu, Jaquio & The Goddess
Single-Handedly Battles Demons, Monsters, Robots & Armies For a Living
Boomstick: He's destroyed entire armies of fiends and demons, killed the Dark Dragon, twice somehow, won the second Dead Or Alive tournament, avenged his father's death and finally annihilated the Devil himself, all just to get himself laid.
Everyone was really impressed that he took out the Devil himself and they were also interested in this Dead or Alive Tournament.
"He's a powerful one-man army than me." Bulat said in impress.
"The Dark Dragon looks very powerful as a Danger Beast." Bols said firmly.
"I wonder how much stamina he has if he was in bed?" Leone asked while licking her lips.
Some of the girls blush while Akame and Mine were annoyed by her sexual antics.
Ryu: Such selfish arrogance... I cannot allow this!
Ryu is a powerful ninja and his skills would make him another addition to Night Raid. Akame seems to like him and his True Dragon Sword, Susanoo and Bulat are interested in the art of Ninpo and the others liked his weapons and accomplishments as they make him a lot more cooler. On to the next combatant.
The second contestant is another ninja wearing a purple ninja garb, with a long red scarf covering his mouth and has spiky brown hair. And he seemed to wield a energy bladed weapon, while fighting enemies in a futuristic world.
For some unknown reason Sheele couldn't help but blush at his appearance before continued watching as his cool intro is shown.
Strider Hiryu
BACKGROUND
Height: 5'10" (Taller than Najenda)
Weight: 187 Ibs.
Age: 2,021 (Which shocks everyone)
Rank: Special-A Class Strider
Occupation: Retired
Superhuman Senses
Hobbies: Peace, Seclusion, Boring Stuff
(Cues Strider - Stage 1 Theme)
Wiz: His name literally meaning 'Flying Dragon', Hiryu was orphaned at a very young age.
Some were sympathetic at this.
"Man, these guys have it hard don't they?" Lubbock said.
"And I'm sure there are more combatants that are orphaned as well." Najenda replied solemnly.
Wiz: He was put through the intense Strider program, a training school for high-tech ninja mercenaries.
"That's like a more advance version of the Empire's Assassin training." Bulat said.
"Yeah, but with a lot of advance technology as part of the training." Lubbock added.
Boomstick: *sighs* It's so hard to find a good cyber-ninja school these days.
Wiz: Seems whoever put him there made the right choice.
(Cues Strider Hiryu Theme - Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3)
Wiz: Hiryu far exceeded his teacher's expectations, and soon became the youngest student in the organization's history to reach the highest rank of Special A-Class Strider.
The group were really impressed of Hiryu earning a high rank in the program.
"Striders have rankings?" Sheele asked.
"Yes and this Special A-Class rank might be really high and special." Najenda answered.
Boomstick: What does that mean? Well, even a C-Class Strider has the strength and skill of a whole team of special forces.
"Damn, he is skilled to take on an elite group of assassins." Leone whistled.
"And probably more if given the chance." Bols said.
Boomstick: So just imagine what a Special A-Class Strider can do. Oh wait, you don´t have to cause we're here to tell you about it!
Wiz: After reaching this remarkable rank, Hiryu was sent on a mission to kill a rogue Strider, who just so happened to be his own sister.
Everyone except a few were stunned at this.
"He's assigned to kill his own sister?!" Tatsumi exclaimed in shock and anger.
"Truly messed up." Susanoo frowned deeply.
Akame however, has been to that situation and tried to defect with her sister, but the corruption has influenced Kurome and the two are destined to kill each other. She was afraid of the outcome choice Hiryu has made.
Boomstick: Naturally, pissed off at the Striders manipulating him and his sister, he immediately retired... after killing her, of course.
Everyone were now pissed and angry at the program for manipulating Hiryu and his sister, and they winced when they see Hiryu killing her.
Akame quietly shed a tear when she saw it as Hiryu didn't have a choice. But even though Hiryu failed to save his sister, but she won't and will try everything to save Kurome as a fire of determination is lit inside her.
Soon they see Hiryu's weapon of choice, which is an energy blade with the handle of a tonfa.
FALCHION LIGHT SWORD CYPHER
Extendable Through Plasma Charging
Boost [Plasma Wave Projectiles]
Plasma Arrows
Deflects Projectiles
Shape-Shifting Properties
Can Destroy Projectiles
Incinerates Enemies
(Cues Destroy the Terrorists in the Occupied City - Strider 2)
Wiz: Hiryu wields a deadly lightsword Cypher named Falchion. It generates a blade of high voltage plasma energy which can slice through almost anything.
"Man, these guys have weapons that have the same ability as Extase." Lubbock said.
"I don't mind, it is impressive to have weapons similar to my Imperial Arms." Sheele smiled.
Wiz: Today, plasma cutters can reach temperatures over 2 million degrees Celsius, cutting through steel and other metals with ease.
"That's really hot for forging weapons." Bulat commented.
"And if we had something to make weapons easier then I don't mind." Seryu added.
Boomstick: It's basically a super-long extending lightsaber.
"Kinda like a lightsaber." Mine said.
"No kidding." Tatsumi agreed.
Wiz: Well, kind of, it's a sword with a plasma aura that leaves a trail of death. It can also fire plasma arrows and counter projectiles.
"Now that's awesome!" Leone grinned.
"And if we have any blueprints to make it, then we might ave an advantage." Najenda smiled before smoking her cigarette.
Boomstick: All with an incredibly satisfying shing sound.
They felt satisfied when they heard the slashing sounds of Falchion.
Boomstick: That's the one.
"Yeah I wish our slashing noises sounds like that." Leone commented.
"Me too." Akame agreed.

(Cues Burning Force - Namco X Capcom)
Wiz: Apart from the Cypher, Hiryu wields a large arsenal of sci-fi gear and weaponry, including the Varga: a teleporting device.
"That would be useful to get to places easier." Chelsea commented.
"Yeah, but it only works on short distances from the looks of it." Susanoo stated.
Wiz: He uses his medical tech to heal wounds, the climb sickles to, well, climb, the jump trick to... jump higher.
"Guess the Strider program are very creative with names." Mine said.
"Yeah, but their tech is still useful though." Tatsumi assured.
Boomstick: I guess they don't have a thesaurus at the ninja school. He also has a device that can cause earthquakes, shoot fire and launch big balls of electricity.
"Very interesting pieces of technology." Dr. Stylish commented.
"And the devices for those elemental powers will be very helpful." Bols added.
OPTIONS
Option A
- Satellite Drone "Bot"
- Laser Guns
- Can Power Machinery
Option B
- Robotic Panther
- Fiercely Loyal
Option C
- Robotic Hawk
- Bladed Wings
- Can Drop Grenades
Wiz: And last, but not least, he has three types of cybernetic drones at his back and call. Option A are twin satellite bots which shield Hiryu and shoot wave after wave of deadly laser discs.
"I totally call dibs on those." Seryu said with Koro agreeing.
Boomstick: Option B is a Robo-Panther. It's like a giant death-cat that doesn't need a litter box or scratch the shit out of your furniture.
"Yeah and those robot cats are my favorites." Leone grinned.
"Yeah I knew you'd like them." Lubbock muttered.
Wiz: Finally, Option C is a robotic hawk with bladed wings and over sized grenades.
"They would be useful for aerial recon." Najenda said.
"Or attacking enemies below them." Tatsumi added.
Boomstick: Argh, I hate birds! Now they have grenades.
Everyone chuckled at Boomstick's comment.
Wiz: Hiryu's speed and agility are off the charts. Fortunate, since he also doesn't seems to ever use his ninja stealth skills.
"Ryu isn't the only one rushing in." Sheele commented.
"And it's now a battle of who's the fastest now." Mine sighed.
Wiz: He's even fast enough to dodge Shadow Tag Bullets: highly advanced ammunition designed to track supersonic targets, like Striders. Basically, anti-aircraft rounds for people.
"That's some very advance bullets." Bols said in surprise.
"And we want them now!" Leone shouted.
"It'll take years before we can actually make them." Bulat replied.
Boomstick: He's also strong enough to slice clean through the human body... with a karate chop!
They see Hiryu using a karate chop to slice through his wannabe assassin's hand effortlessly.
"He has an impressive amount of strength to pull that off." Susanoo commented.
Akame was thinking of doing that to cut her meat and drooled.
Wiz: Hiryu has somehow been in retirement for over 2,000 years; likely because of the advanced medicine of the future.
"Futuristic medicine is really fascinating." Dr. Stylish commented.
"And if we had those and we wouldn't have to worry about diseases at all." Najenda smirked.
Wiz: Yet despite distancing himself from the Strider program, he has been pulled out of retirement more times than John McClane.
They don't know John McClane is and moved on to Hiryu's achievements.
FEATS
Avoided Shadow Tag Bullets
Has Slain Armies & Dinosaurs
Is Over 2,000 Years Old
Destroyed a Moon-Sized Space Station
Slices People With Bare Hands
Defeated Matic, Faceas Clay, Striders & Grandmaster Meio
(Cues Strider Hiryu Theme - Marvel vs Capcom)
Boomstick: He's fought dinosaurs and giant robots, destroyed a moon-sized space station, and is so badass he considers huge flying warships mere toys.
"He's totally badass if he thinks warships are mere toys." Leone said.
"And nothing faze him even the slightest." Seryu added.
Boomstick: He even slew the magical creator of the world... twice. Apparently God is no match for this future ninja.
"That's incredible." Sheele commented.
"Man, all these combatants make us look bad." Lubbock grumbled.
"Totally." Tatsumi nodded in agreement.
They see Hiryu calling all of his drones and finished off Akuma before riding on his Option B.
Strider Hiryu: No place for amateurs.
Hiryu is a very skilled and powerful fighter, not to mention some of the technology is very fascinating at best. Akame seems to share the same sibling feeling as him and liked him, Sheele seems to be affectionate by Hiryu's looks. And everyone else liked everything about him including his Cypher. Now to the battle.
Wiz: Alright the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: But first, it's time for another ad from Lu... oh wait it's actually a new ad! Go Lumosity!
This is a difficult one as Ryu and Hiryu are both very skilled. Ryu has many weapons and Ninpo techniques to gain a advantage, Hiryu can use his gadgets and his 2,000 years of experience to even the odds. Not to mention their achievements make them very powerful to not to be crossed so easily.
In the end, Lubbock, Tatsumi, Seryu and Leone chose Ryu, The rest chose Hiryu.
Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
(Cues Ninja Gaiden - Alma Saves Rachel)
An armed soldier stands in a building under construction as both Hayabusa and Hiryu appear and kill him with a slash from their swords.
The soldier screams in pain as he exploded in a bloody mist.
"I felt sorry for him." Tatsumi said.
"Who cares the fight is starting!" Leone exclaimed.
Hayabusa and Strider then jump backwards into a fighting pose.
Time to see which ninja is stronger than the other.
FIGHT!
(Cues Ninja Gaiden - Alma Awakened)
Ryu jumps backwards and throws three shurikens at Hiryu but misses as he slides under them and ambushes Ryu, slashing him towards a wall. Hayabusa bounces off the wall and hits Hiryu with his True Dragon Sword and causes him to fall down. Ryu bears down on Hiryu with his sword several times, and then Hiryu cartwheels over Hayabusa. Hiryu slashes at Ryu, but he blocks it and throws a Boomerang Shuriken at Hiryu, who cartwheels over him again. Hiryu dodges the Shuriken flying past him and jumps over, starts slashing at Ryu multiple times, and after cartwheeling over him again, slices the flying Shuriken in half.
Since the both the music and fight are fast-paced, everyone was tense on who would win.
"Looks like Hiryu has the head start." Mine said.
"No way! Ryu will try to get the upper hand soon!" Lubbock yelled before continue watching.
Hayabusa slashes at Hiryu multiple times with the Dragon Sword and successfully kicks him into the wall. Hiryu bounces off the wall, but Ryu catches him in midair and pile drives Hiryu into the ground.
"Oh! Piledrive! Leone cheered.
"That's got to hurt." Bols added.
Ryu pulls out his Eclipse Scythe, he attempts to kill Hiryu with it but Hiryu teleports out of the way, and cleanly removes the scythe's blade with his Cypher. Hayabusa jumps back and pulls out a Whip Chain. He swings it, and throws it at Hiryu with precision, but Hiryu decimates it into two dozen embers of metal with a combo of slashes.
"Holy crap." Chelsea said with a stunned expression.
"The Cypher can slice through anything, which means Ryu's other weapons are ineffective." Sheele stated.
Ryu charges his Ninpo and an ethereal shadow of himself appears. The two continuously attack Hiryu with their swords until Hiryu pushes them back.
Strider Hiryu: Back off!
Hiryu summons his Option A drones and fired a barrage of laser disks, Ryu manages to place two well placed shurikens to destroy the drones at the cost of his shadow clone being destroyed.
(Cues Warrior's Orochi 3 - Ryu's Determination)
Ryu lands and fires a high-speed wave of arrows. Hiryu dodges the arrows. Ryu prepares to fire an arrow with a bomb attached to it, but Hiryu's plasma Cypher destroys Ryu's bow. Hiryu charges at Ryu and slashes but misses as Ryu teleports. Ryu appears behind him and prepares his Torn Sky Blast. Hiryu is hit by the blast and is sent to another room.
Hayabusa tries to stab Hiryu in the neck but he jumps over, and uses his sickles to climb the wall, dodging the first attack and slashing at the second. Both ninjas attack each other, doing fight combos as they fly up the building. Strider Hiryu is knocked upward, seemingly the last person hit.
"Man they are really hitting each other hard!" Tatsumi exclaimed.
"Come on Hiryu." Sheele and Akame both whispered.
(Cues Ninja Gaiden - Alma Awakened)
Then Hiryu uses his medical tech to heal as Ryu heals with his ninpo. Then both prepare to fire their blasts and when they connect, it causes a small explosion, knocking both back. Hiryu is pushed back further and is about to summon his robotic animals.
Strider Hiryu: There's no escape! Legion!
As his robotic animals charge at Ryu, Hayabusa destroys them all with a single combo.
"That was really impressive." Bulat whistled.
"It took a lot of energy to pull that off." Susanoo added.
He attacks but Hiryu jumps out of the way and fires his Cypher's plasma arrows. Ryu flips past them and jumps on a crane. Hiryu flies up the same crane as Ryu throws several fireballs at him.
Hiryu disperses them by swinging his sword. Ryu jumps on top of the crane after him.
(Cues Ninja Gaiden - Orchestral Compilation)
Both ninjas stand, staring at each other, then both run towards each other, jumping forward, and swinging their swords once.
Everyone was completely tense when both landed on the ground and waited until something happens.
Unfortunately one ninja wasn't very lucky as Ryu was seriously injured and Hiryu wasted no time to finish him off.
(Cues Beasts - Strider)
Strider Hiryu: Time to end this! Ragnarok!
Strider Hiryu charges at Ryu at super-fast speeds with the Varga, then pile drives Hayabusa straight through the roof and keeps going through all of its stories to the base of the skyscraper. The deed done, Strider Hiryu vanishes.
As one of Hiryu's hawks drops a grenade on Ryu, Strider Hiryu leaves the building using his glider.
K.O.!
After that everyone all cheered for Hiryu winning and others clapping for Ryu for trying and they know that Hiryu destroys Ryu's body as a sign of respect for a worthy opponent to die in battle.
(Cues Strider Hiryu's Theme - Marvel vs Capcom)
Boomstick: Ragnar-owned!
"Yep, owned indeed." Leone said.
Wiz: This fight was very close, and Ryu's ninpo was certainly a match for Hiryu's gadgets.
Boomstick: But Ryu's enormous arsenal was useless against the Cypher.
"Seeing it sliced his weapons apart, there's no denying it." Bols commented.
"No kidding." Seryu agreed.
Wiz: The only weapon that can stand up to the Cypher was his True Dragon Sword, but even then, while it can cut through people like butter, Hiryu does the same with his bare hands.
Boomstick: This guy can make a wicked sandwich.
Akame went half-lidded and drooled at the thought of Hiryu karate chopping ingredients to make a dozen of sandwiches.
Boomstick: Also while Ryu can deflect automatic fire, Strider can dodge personalized anti-aircraft bullets.
Wiz: If you consider the differences in speed, this means Hiryu is at least 43% faster. Ultimately, Hiryu surpasses Ryu in strength, speed, and weaponry.
"Guess all that Strider training did help Hiryu beat Ryu." Mine stated.
"And I'm sure we'll try to match Hiryu's reflexes soon." Bulat added.
Boomstick: Looks like Strider just floored Hayabusa.
Everyone all chuckled at the pun.
Wiz: The winner is Strider Hiryu.
The episode was really fast-paced and exciting at all the information they have gotten. Sheele really have a small crush on Hiryu for being somewhat similar to her, while Akame liked both him and Ryu for their skills. Time to see what's next.
Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.
Tatsumi instantly blushed, while Lubbock nosebleed and drooled as he sees the first combatant, which was a busty silver-haired woman wearing a revealing purple leotard outfit with gold armor platings as she whips around a sword/whip hybrid weapons around.
?: I'll teach you how to behave!
And her opponent is a dark-skinned woman with raven hair that wore a green skintight suit and wields a pair of tonfas and one scene where she killed her opponent by showing her breasts.
?: KILLER! KILLER! Oh, she's a KILLER!
Without no hesitation, Lubbock instantly pressed forward for the next episode.
