Total Drama X: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 27: Nothing Personal...
Part 2: Kick When You Can't Swing
Sandy, Reigen, Rock, Pinstripe, Tanya, Yumeko and Crimson are the first seven to lose their immunity chances, most of 'em losing off-screen even and yeah, it's going to be like for Round 1 and a bit of Round 2.
But when you can't swing on someone with your arms, you better kick because these guys know how to do just that...and also, figure out a strategy to kick ass both in the competition and in this specific challenge!
RikkiSnake on AO3: Sorry for that, was just intending it to be a funny comment and honestly, that's cool by me!
SheepDotGov on AO3: Yeah, don't underestimate me! Plus the "entitled" comment was kinda dumb lmao.
Memeking: Yeah, you might be a bit disappointed by this chapter about the non-fighters making it far. Only a bit, though.
1602jaw: It ain't a new challenge and this was intended to be a Street Fighter 6 challenge, but couldn't really fit everyone in there. As for Boney Island, they'll have to get used to it!
G09F17R02: I've got my own internal thing, but there has been a lot of eliminations, so I'll add it to the end of each future episode and somewhere else for obvious reasons.
Seven battles in the first round had gone and honestly, not a lot of them would be notable aside from quite a few people bringing their a-game into their situation.
"We never left because I'm streaming and still on TV! And uh, we had some kinda not great fights!"
Pit was basically bonking down on Scott Pilgrim with speed, poise and the fact that he probably wanted to be in an alliance, which doesn't make that much sense.
Cassie Cage may have not had gun that could outsmart many people, but she had the power and the literal speed to make Heavy a bizarre punching bag for showin' her moves.
Lowain and Azula was one of those matches were you'd just question how one person would win the other and unlike in most sports and all of the eSports, Azula quite literally could outrange him by fire...and also, Lowain got pummeled by precise move after precise kick and it ended with a flaming strike that got eliminated.
And hilariously enough, anyone that Bayonetta fought would just get spooked...even if it was Ryuko Matoi, the angriest woman alive (citation needed), who made kept on swinging in response to the many dodges that the witch was pulling out...
...seeing that angry people tire themselves out and even funnier, Ryuko got smacked by a giant demon's fist covered with hair and for obvious reasons, Ryuko looked like a JoJo villain of the week, being flung away.
Same thing with Dante in practically the opposite way, as he was about to get the hurt on some random dude and Iori Yagami was quite literally the opposite of some random dude, the prickly pseudo-rockstar having his flaming hands to the talking...
...they even did a lot of talking, with Iori flaming up the demon hunter for the first hit, slashing at Dante's face and even doing a spinning slice with his hot hands.
And once that stopped.
"You're about to be toasted!" Iori bragged.
"Alright, then it's my turn to toast your mentally ill butt." Dante said.
Dante did Dante things and if you've seen a DMC combo video or played DMC3 or 5, Iori was quite literally cut out.
Round 1 - B13: Ochako Uraraka vs Miko Kubota (the floaty girl vs the gamer hero)
The battlefield was really for real, as there was some random weapon that Miko Kubota was holding, the famous samurai sword that like a true gamer, she didn't know how to wield one.
"Can you carry that thing?" Uraraka asked quite seriously.
"I can carry it enough! Probably." Miko...
...swung the sword around like a "true samurai" and put into random pouch.
"But I have it anyways!"
"Then let's go!"
And they indeed go, as Uraraka was actually trying to defend herself against Miko's oddly agressive swings that actually included a flip or two, the purple-haired gamer even managing to do a backflip slash that broke the floaty girl's guard to...
...kick Uraraka in the face.
Somehow, it didn't go very far, as Uraraka actually blocked it and Miko...couldn't exactly follow it up, taking a bit of a breather to not die of being too sick.
Also, Uraraka took a little bit of a time to think right after...
...as she basically apprehended the gamer and put some distance to put her plan into action, mostly because she had some stuff that started to float high up in the sky.
It wasn't much, but it wasn't something and thanks to some hidden action-
Uraraka got smacked in the face by Ally seemingly coming from nowhere, obviously coming from a pseudo pokemon ball and she was gone...just like that, as in...
...Uraraka actually grabbed the rope and then flipped out of the competition, even if the balls did distract Miko.
"Man, she flipped out of the competition! Miko isn't up for elimination, as her and her bird is about to move onto the second round!"
For the record, Uraraka was just floating herself up back onto the ring, as Miko just took out her own hand.
"Wow, Ally...sure does kick hard for being so cute!" Uraraka praised the bird. "Congrats on making it to the next round, Miko!"
"Come on, where's the bad talk! I beat you so bad, even if Ally's not at her best." Miko basically humble-bragged. "But I won't vote for you, okay."
"That's cool!" Uraraka shouted.
*Uraraka's confessional*
The girl with the power to make things float, as she just fell onto the toilet.
"The one chance to prove that I'm worthy of being in this competition and I actually managed to get eliminated in the first round. Well, I've got options...and I don't know what they are yet!" She said, plainly serious.
*Confessional cut*
The rest of Round 1 was kinda weird, as aside from certain people.
Deadpool, Pit, Bayonetta, Dante, Reg, Cassie Cage, Azula, Mai Shiranui, Terry Bogard (who fought Pinstripe), Mikasa (who Crimson did try to beat), Squirrel Girl (who beat Rock kinda badly) and obviously, Miko.
Nicole vs Muscle Man, even not accounting for their power level difference and sheer badassery of the both of them...Nicole just did a double kick and somehow knocked down Muscle Man.
"Give it your best, Mitch!" Nicole shouted. "I wouldn't want to be easy!"
"I know that you're some overpowered cat, bro! But I'm not scared, bro!"
Muscle Man just pulled out a golf cart, as Nicole just shrugged.
"I got my secret weapon?"
"Thanks, Deadpool, glad we could use your weapons pouch...thing tech!" Chris announced, as Muscle Man rode the golf cart with precision.
And Nicole just jumped over it, very close to the edge of the ring, too, barely hitting the roof of the golf cart with a kick and unlike eight episodes ago, the golf cart just made him fall off harder.
"OH NO, BRO!"
"RIP Muscle Man, but that's not that surprising!"
The second to final fight of round 1 was very funny...mostly because Sokka versus Nobara is a really weird match-up and if you know what they've both been through, it should be an obvious conclusion.
Especially when one had a close ranged hammer and the other hand had a sword and a boomerang, stepping towards each other.
"Hey, let's go!" Nobara shouted.
"Yeah, I'm going!" Sokka stretched his arms.
Nobara was moving with impunity and making sure that the small balls or other stuff were distracting Sokka, as the brown-haired sorcerer was pelting more than a few projectiles at him, even as the boomerang covered some of them.
Said boomerang coming back with some scars, as Sokka noticed the thing, still holding his sword in his right hand.
"NOT BOOMERANG!"
Nobara may have made the mistake of breaking that boomerang, but she still had a powerful hammer that could hit that sword like nothing else and Sokka wasn't about to let someone who harmed his boomerang get away with that.
He was kinda strategically swinging her to the edge of the ring, even if Nobara was hiding the hammer in one of her own hands and she may have wanted to do a massive swing.
Sokka looked like he was distracted by something, his sword must have been hit or something someone must have thought and then Nobara went for the overhead hammer slam.
It was Sokka time apparently, since he finally managed to throw her after she missed completely and then his battle scream could pierce the heavens, as the Water Tribe warrior won that.
Unsurprisingly, the jujutsu sorceress was mad about it and her opponent didn't want to stick around for her anger.
*Sokka's arm-checking confessional*
The Water Tribe swordsman just wanted to show his arm muscles.
"I got that throw from the Boulder, big fan of that guy! For the record, he's an Earthebender, a man that throws around ground and people like it's nothing! Just like I did that to her."
*Confessional cut*
Tanjiro Kamado vs. The Heavy would be wild match for the ages, if the latter had a gun...except he didn't, so Tanjiro wisely decided to just have him use his weapons.
Tanjiro sliced through a chair, a wooden box and even a few shots of Heavy's infamous gun before realising that Heavy was scared out of his mind.
"I know when fighting is stupid! You are sword boy and still cut steel gun." Heavy answered.
"But I don't want to kill! You're obviously not a man of the sword!" Tanjiro shouted. "Also, don't you die a lot."
"Yes, but not on television."
"...Makes sense."
Tanjiro just took the dub without compliant, aside from a fair fight.
And the last one wasn't one for the ages either.
Joseph Joestar, son of George Joestar II and grandson of Jonathan Joestar vs. Basil of Baker Street, the arch-nemesis of Ratigan and if the memes didn't stop that match-up from being unbalanced...
...Basil quite literally got a grass cut because Joseph wanted to be funny and the mouse might have come off as an asshole.
Not really enough to get out-skilled and out-punched
"Joseph Joestar, you got any words for him?"
"Nah, he left that alliance a bunch of time ago! He really hasn't done anything since, but he ain't a bad guy, just kinda boring." Joseph bragged, as Basil just scoffed. "Anyways!"
"Cool, how about Round 2 and yes, I'm going to determine this based on the wheel of awesome and some other stuff! Not enough even battles, but at least there's a lot of pain!"
"Bro, you sound like a supervillain, man!" Lowain shouted.
"What he said." Joseph casually said.
"I get called that a lot, but this is still an awesome challenge, right?"
"FUCK YEAH!" Deadpool just butted in between the
*Basil's confessional*
The mouse with a bunch of his own injuries just felt it.
"Another challenge where it is poorly disguised torture because of the people that are around me have abilities that are beyond proper compherension..."
Basil put out a rather resigned sigh.
"...but it's still a rather decent one compared to the vast majority and I could learn for something, even if I can't even a quarter of the techniques that they can do."
*Confessional cut*
Round 2, baby, the immunity qualifier and it has some of the most epic matches that include a superhero in there and some other random peeps in here!
"Shut up, Deadpool, that's not super important! The more important thing is that you're going to get some unexpected matches to avoid those votes!" Chris yelled, genuinely peeved by Deadpool's sentence.
"Besides, you wouldn't want to steal my spotlight or else, you're out!"
Deadpool just shut his own mouth.
"Alright, who wants to see uh, Sokka vs Miko?"
"Obviously me for no other reason than some hype fights!" Pit boasted.
"And for supporting a fighting bro in here!" Lowain bumped Pit, while providing his own comment.
Even if it was the merge, some guys were nostalgic for the times of the two-team stage...which was literally two days ago, so it meant that the fight between these two meant a thing.
"What the heck are these guys are talking about?" Sokka asked.
"Uh, everything obviously!" Miko shouted.
*Miko's confessional*
She was kinda mad.
"We were never on the same team and I'm in the mood to crush some guy from another team!" Miko declared. "With my very normal skills and bird!"
*Confessional cut*
Sokka was definitely on the fighting end of the match, as he had the prepared swing even with just Miko picking up some epic...chair?
Said chair managed to get cut through by the way, Sokka was fully agressive in the ring, as Miko got another random thing that she probably knew how to swing.
A baseball bat, which worked...way better than it should since she actually managed to get in a few smacks before getting knocked down by Sokka's random boomerang swing.
"No way, I can't believe that-"
Miko kicked him in the face, as Sokka took it with a grin, boomerang and sword still in his own hands and the battle continued on...sort of...as Miko got hit with a some dust and a whole-ass sword slam to the face.
"Miko, don't get thrown off!" Pit screamed. "Lady Palutena's got your back!"
"Whatever he said, still ain't enough for Miko to avoid Sokka's...second sword?" Chris shouted. "Never mind, it just got thrown towards her and Miko caught it!"
The real problem was when Miko had two kinda swords, as she was just kinda pummeling Sokka.
"LET'S GOOOO!" Pit yelled, practically providing a backing track to Miko's...super move?
Put it this way, even with him blocking it, it was not working and Sokka didn't block it.
"Holy...uh...so Miko provides the best comeback and she-"
Sokka's splash could be heard.
"-She just put out her super move to make it into the immunity zone!"
Sokka just screamed from the ocean, as Miko just clicked her fingers towards Pit.
*Pit's confessional of godliness.*
"Lady Palutena?"
A giant-ass light from the...top of the camera arrived.
"Pit, what do you want to ask?" A green-haired woman who was definitely a goddess said.
"Do you think she's hiding something?" Pit asked.
"...Yes and I don't doubt it's for very good reason!"
"Oh crud! Then I have to ask during the fight!"
*Confessional cut*
Even if you forget that Reg was a child, how the hell do you think he was going to have a chance against Nicole, because that was the question that was going to be asked.
Nicole, out of sheer competitive-ness just kicked the robot kid without impunity and...
...regretted that kic, especially since it threw Reg quite the distance.
"I apologise for using a lot of my power, Reg!" Nicole projected her voice across the ring. "I'm serious."
"No, it's okay! I'm fine! Just hanging on by a rope." Reg casually remarked, the robot kid trying to get back up to the ring.
"Good!"
Nicole just dashed up to him and scared him.
And it made him fall off.
"And Nicole got immunity thanks to being super scary to the robot kid!"
*Reg's confessional*
He wasn't even spooked, moreso not surprised.
"The one person who I didn't want to fight...and I got beaten by her in one kick! This season's not going to get any crazier...didn't Tails give me something or not?"
*Confessional cut*
Deadpool's immortal.
So it was too bad that it was-
"Deadpool, the greatest of the pools against Mikasa Ackermann, the girl who's got the moves and kills to back it up!"
"Seriously?!" Chris almost growled.
"Yeah, seriously, I just want to prepare myself for-"
"Okay, Deadpool vs Mikasa, so let's get it!" Chris shouted, practically not in a good mood. "However, Mikasa gets the first move."
Mikasa just nodded towards Deadpool, as she looked like she wanted to hurt the immortal super...guy, slowly walking backwards with her plan.
"Nice, so, anyways, Across the Spider-Verse is crazy good because I watched it last night and I really want to figure out what Miguel O'Hara's deal...but I'm fighting Attack on Titan's second best slayer!" Deadpool had a whole speech. "So, I'll just leave it for now-"
Even if he was looking through the text or his own eyes, Mikasa still managed to get a running dropkick on the distracted Deadpool and she was not done.
"Dude, this isn't canon-"
Doesn't matter because Mikasa wielded the two Titan-cutting blades like it wasn't a problem, practically copying the moves of the man who's probably been in an thousand fics.
And it only got funnier, since thanks to one obvious thing, Mikasa just cut one of his arms off without impunity.
"Seriously, what kind of arc are you going through? I can help as a friend...or as a guy that's there definitely!" Deadpool shook his one arm without insane, practically screaming.
"First off, I have a friend. Secondly, you're really annoying." Mikasa stated, also cutting off the other arm. "Thirdly, I'm used to cutting off arms."
"No, no, no, I was supposed to be the one to ask the random thirddddd-"
Deadpool got carried by an angry Mikasa, though you couldn't really tell that well.
"Oh my gosh, Deadpool got upset by good strategies and plain old destruction coming from Mikasa, who has immunity!" Chris announced. "And secondly, we have...Joseph vs Terry Bogard?"
Joseph Joestar just jumped onto the battlefield, before Deadpool's arms got up and left for obvious reasons, as the man with some serious energy felt that his victory was pretty assured...
...even if Terry tightened his own gloves and focused on the energy.
"Hey, man, I hope your funky energy's alright!" Joseph exclaimed. "Just so that this fight's not super easy!"
"You know what, I feel the exact same way, man." Terry prepared himself.
The two dudes immediately came in with their best projectile, Joseph throwing a little something and Terry with a power wave, these two officially getting up, close and personal with their runs.
Joseph had his grandad's genes and love of the sun...
...that meant nothing when he also had some strong kicks to Terry's guard, even throwing out a slight dive kick that barely missed which meant that Terry could pull out the-
"Burn Knuckle!"
-and ensure that Joseph got knocked back an fair amount.
The Hamon user stood back up without fail and with a special weapon of destruction, another set of clackers that he , as Terry was watching for the Hamon moves.
"Do you want to see something cool?" Joseph just showed his hand.
Terry adjusted his hat.
"Yeah, but I want to show you something."
*Joseph's confessional*
The guy wasn't looking too bad either.
"In retrospect, maybe I should've just gone in with the Hamon tricks and the running and what not...just to make the fight longer!" He had a smirk, despite his damage.
*Confessional cut*
Terry saw the-
"BUSTER WOLF"
-miss the mark completely and he landed in a weird spot near the western edge of the ring, where Joseph was looking at for a special clacker throw, feeling the power of the sun.
Especially since it was coming at a ridiculous speed that Terry Bogard couldn't even block them without getting thrown back, plain getting his hands torn up in the process.
"AAAHHH...it's okay!"
Terry just got the whole crowd scared.
"IT'S OKAY!"
He got back up, as he was still fighting strong with a chair and...
...practically gave it to Joseph, as he ran back in with a powerful move.
Just in the ORA-ORA range, too.
...
...
Terry Bogard actually managed to fly an incredible distance, but-
"Terry Bogard gets eliminated, which means absolutely nothing, Deadpool, Joseph's safe from elimination, that's it!" Chris shouted, genuinely pissed, as Deadpool looked at him with that face. "Moving on Dante vs Cassie...which might not be a close one!"
"Heh, I've fought guys like him before!" Cassie confidently said. "Though you're probably going to be the strongest!"
"Change that to definitely and that goes without saying." Dante remarked, holding his own sword.
Now, Cassie Cage hadn't exactly fought guys with swords before, especially none this strong, as Dante basically sped right into her own face with the gauntlets and once again, this started a combo of brutal gauntlet attacks.
A few hard kicks, several kicks stolen from Chun-Li and a slam kick later, Cassie was still standing and more determined to win than ever, coming in with the glow to try and figure what Dante was doing.
What Dante was doing was being real fast and hitting stupid hard, as he swung a chair right at Cassie's face, who caught it and then stole it.
Even then, Cassie couldn't even use it to attack, as Dante just got Rebeliion right into the middle of it and made a hole...for the record, the chairs didn't have holes in 'em at all at first.
It was a relatively close fight, as in Dante didn't really curbstomp Cassie Cage, but he really did put in the work to make sure that he was king stuff basically...and also knocked her out with the chair.
"Honestly, Cassie was still fighting strong until Dante beat the guts out of her and also, she should definitely be standing up by now!" Chris announced. "Anyways, Bayonetta vs Azula should be a spicy match, one could say a match for the ages!"
After Cassie woke back up dizzy, these two women weren't ready to let their chance at immunity slip away, especially since they both didn't respect each other...
...mostly because Bayonetta summoned her suit and Azula lit her hands aflame in blue and started off in quite the showy way.
"Listen, you're not ready for what I'm going to do to you!" Bayonetta casually remarked. "And I heard you disrespect your mum, so I'm going to pay it back for her."
"You wouldn't even know!" Azula basically whispered.
Before saying.
"You should keep your tongue in check!" Azula shouted.
"Good, then I will!"
Even in spite of Bayo's canon power, she didn't really show it much and today was the day when Bayonetta could see what was going down and what was happening in that ring.
Azula wisely kept her distance.
*Azula's confessional*
She was definitely keeping it together very well.
"As much as Bayonetta says that she is the most powerful witch, what does she have that is long-range aside from her guns and her summoning demons...not that much, so all I have to do is prove to her why I'm worthy of immunity!"
*Confessional cut*
She kept on sending fire at Bayonetta, who was letting their hair take on the hits her walk towards the firebending prodigy herself.
Bayonetta turned into bats, Azula decided to predict her place with a fire trap.
It worked...sort of, as Bayonetta felt the fire and then she just walked through.
"Is that all you have?"
Azula didn't want to answer, putting in her answer as a fire slice that Bayonetta stylishly dodged.
"Really? Only dodging?" Azula remarked.
"I don't need to hit you to prove that I won." Bayonetta remarked from...very close to her.
Azula definitely was in witch time, because to literally everyone's viewpoint, the witch was much faster than her and to the witch, she was in super slow motion which meant that-
-she was real close to getting her ass beat by the best witch in Smash, so she got grabbed.
...one combo, a demon fist her and a flurry of punches later...
"To a lot of surprise, actually, Bayonetta curbstomps Azula easily, meaning that in the same round, Azula and Sokka got eliminated by powerful ladies! And finally, we've got...Mai vs Doreen aka Squirrel Girl!"
A kunoichi known for her assets, fire skills and loud personality and a superhero known for her squirrel herding techniques to beat a lot of people and there's quite a few that they shared in common.
Like their love of beating people up and squirrels.
"No way, I always thought they were cute!" Mai shouted.
"Do you want to see them up close?" Doreen asked, not really as a suggestion.
"Well, yeah, but-"
Mai had to see those squirrels up close, because they were all coming for her and she swatted some of them with her own tail of the kunoichi suit, seeing that it was not a question.
"-That was a dirty move."
Mai meant it as a compliment, as Doreen was coming with a pretty decent kick that was quite easily blocked by the ninja, even with the squirrels just hanging onto her legs and these squirrels and their girl were really working in sync.
"How many squirrels did I ask? Looks like I got everybody!" Doreen shrugged.
"No, you didn't-"
Mai looked at the decent wave of squirrels that came from under the platform and it was very apparent that...things were like ice skating uphill, which Squirrel Girl probably knew about.
"Holy shit, she did." Mai whispered, trying to swipe at the squirrels.
There was about 100 of them and some of them were carrying chairs.
"So, all I have to do is beat a hundred squirrel and a Canadian?" Mai suggested. "Sounds easy-"
Thanks to the power of...words, whispers and Chris' own sadism, the squirrels were doing their own deadly assault onto the currently on fire ninja and no matter, they were scratching through that fire and coming out on top somehow.
Especiall since Doreen-
"WHAT THE-"
-carried a steel chair and a reliable Monkey Joe.
Needless to say, Mai came through ridiculous scathed, having some serious scars and probably a ridiculous amount of bites and more than a few acorns and strangely enough, Doreen definitely had looked better than this in probably all of her comics.
"Oh shit, this is like my time on GLA! Don't freak out, guys!" Doreen declared, as she was about to be hit by the-
-same move that knocked out Mai's previous opponent, the flaming aerial shoulder charge that was extra flaming this time around.
Those squirrels may have been numerous, but Doreen was in the water.
"Good moves, Mai! I swear I don't know how I got hit by that thing, but being unbeatable does get boring...also, you were fast!" Doreen shouted. "Just don't vote for me!"
"I won't...how many people you have beaten?"
"...A lot, just read my thing."
*Mai Shiranui's confessional*
The brown-haired ninja just sighed.
"Apparently, she's literally unbeatable and I just beat her. Wonder if it has something to do with her universe or because she's got whatever Deadpool has...or because fighting a million squirrels either turns you into a supervillain or a woman with a million cuts...and she fights crime."
She just huffed.
"Nah, crime's fighting her!"
*Confessional cut*
"Mai finally beats the unbeatable Doreen...doesn't have a epic ring to it, but finally, we've got the two kids with swords, Pit and Tanjiro! One of them's seen the vikings and the other's literally a samurai!" Chris hyped up the fight.
The next fight was Pit vs Tanjiro, two wholesome people who both wanted to fight each other for training purposes and who didn't want to fight each other because they didn't want to kill each other.
"Cool, so how about we-"
Tanjiro wanted to talk about Pit's girlfriend and how Squirrel Girl actually got beaten, but Pit was a fighter, not a listener of Taisho-era dudes...of the sixteen-year old kind.
"-then let's just do this!"
Pit basically saw Tanjiro cut right through the Ore Club's tornado, with only a wheel of water that was cut through the tornado and he had a pouch of random weapons that would be able to fight him.
Even if Tanjiro picked up a giant butter knife to fight with.
*Tanjiro's confessional*
"I can't use my real sword, so I didn't! I just found this in the middle of the box of weapons and it has been working like a Nichrin Sword surprisingly! Even if it can only cut onions."
His smile was of surprise, if you couldn't tell.
*Confessional cut*
"Lady Palutena, you got any info?" Pit asked. "For real, this time!"
"Yes, I do have the information on Tanjiro Kamado...he is a kid whose sister got killed by a demon and she turned into a demon, so one of the Hashira aka top demon slayers tried to kill her, Tanjiro stopped that guy and from that day on, he's been on a quest to find a cure for his sister turning to a demon AKA Japanese vampire and he's been defeating all sorts of demons with his teammates, Zenitsu, who's not a coward when he's asleep and Inosuke, an teen who's quite manly with the bear mask on and...uh...he's working with the Hashira!" Palutena just dropped a stupid amount of info on Pit, who actually found it useful.
"...Uh, how do I fight him?"
"Just try to not get caught in his Breathing Techniques!"
"...Cool."
Pit was definitely dodging a speedy Tanjiro while the kid only got faster, seeing through the blocks of the dual-wielding angel.
"Make him eat his butt and shoot him in the face with a very normal weapon!" Miko shouted, getting into the microphone area. "Like a gun that doesn't kill!"
Miko basically got carried out by Chef.
Hilariously enough, Tanjiro was beating Pitt's ass for only one reason.
He hit Pit with his breathing techniques, turning into the third person to make their own combo video and even with Pit's ridculous accolades of enemies that were slain, Tanjiro had an equally (relatively speaking) ridiculous set of kills...even if it was with three people for the Upper Ranks.
And then Tanjiro turned the flame on.
"HOW MANY GUYS CAN FIRE-"
Pit wanted to make a better sentence, but he got hit by Smash rules on the edge of the ring and got spiked into losing.
"Wow, you're a really good fighter, Pit!" Tanjiro shouted. "I thought you were strong, but not this strong...and honestly, I could've died if we went sword-to-sword!"
"That's great, but I don't want you to die! I want you to slay demons and whatever!" Pit shouted.
"I will do that!"
"Man, it's a good day for exciting battles, as Tanjiro takes in this exciting fight that you guys at home have watched right? Yeah, I thought so!"
Pit, Deadpool and Squirrel Girl (thanks to actual research) were knocking on the glass booth, as Chris and Chef just ignored their epic knocks as they lost the challenge.
"That's right, with all of those fights, Mai, Dante, Bayo, Miko, Nicole, Mikasa, Joseph and...Tanjiro?" Chris announced, as the demon slaying teen got up. "Are immune, so you can't vote for them, but the power vote is a power too much strong to behold by eight people! Plus it would be really boring and make this competition go by way too fast...so, Round 3 baby!"
Tanjiro was against Bayonetta.
Even with giant-ass sword, the power of anime, water and fire...
...Tanjiro doesn't have a chance of not burning himself out before even being close to beating Bayonetta with Witch Time and what not.
"Argh, do you fight demons?" Tanjiro coughed out.
"I make friends with them to not eat people? Is that good enough?"
"...No!" Tanjiro shouted.
"Your demon do work like vampires, so I don't mind it. Probably would be very annoying anyways."
They both agreed that dealing with demons from Japan would be very annoying, especially since the kid had some major experiences with it and demons were basically superpowered vampires.
"Okay, that's not really super surprising, but Bayonetta's one step to getting that power vote and Tanjiro's one step closer to needing a MEDIC!"
Tanjiro just got carried by Axl and Kurapika, two guys who you definitely have forgotten, but one was a young robot that could copy other robots and the other was a blonde guy with girly hair and distinct grey eyes.
"Alright, that's cool, dudes, second up we've got...Miko vs Joseph Joestar! A kinda fair match!"
Miko was trying to put on an air of being cool with this very unwinnable battle, as Joseph Joestar was flexing his arms and muscles just to ease them up for that epic Hamon.
"Are you excited?" Joseph asked.
"Yes, I'm really excited!" Miko declared. "To fight you."
"Good because it's looking unfair."
Miko once again pulled out a random weapon from the box of weapons and she got something very cool and suited to her doing her own thing, being the Belmont Whip.
Or a replica, since it didn't burn.
"I've played enough Castlestein know how to handle this thing and that it might not get a new game!" Miko declared, holding the whip in her hand. "AGH!"
...
Joseph Joestar was basically dodging around to deal with Miko and Ally with a whip, which was working out a lot worse than you'd think for him, since he was taking hit after hit from a girl on top of a oddly coloured chocobo.
The best part, they were moving just as fast and stylishly as each other, Joseph Joestar sticking to the ground and even doing several dodges in between...
...Miko getting smashed by the clackers, even with the whip deflecting some of random things that was thrown at speed and Ally genuinely took way too many hits to not stand up.
And yet, Miko and Ally were still standing strong and was not ready for the twist of the century, mostly that Joseph brung the slugger with Hamon in it.
Needless to say, Ally was having a much better time being in the ring than Miko was.
"And lo and behold, Joseph Joestar's still in with a serious chance and using Hamon for real this time around!" Chris announced. "Oh my god, Miko's eliminated and..."
Miko was swimming in the water, while Joseph just stood on it?
"...Joseph ain't sugarcoating how OP he is! Well, we would have the rest of Round 3, but that's after the break! Chef Hatchet, you haven't said a single thing since...whenever, but it's fine! Who's going to have the power vote, Chef?"
"Probably someone who can pay me better and can cut through some ridiculous thing!" Chef answered. "Anyways, please take a break."
To be continued in the third and final part for the end of the long, long battles and oh my gosh, it's not fun anymore, it's an epic beatdown for the chance to vote off someone that they either hate or can't really deal with!
Even if it's only one person and yeah, remember the promise for a list on top of the chapter...
