Season 20, Week 2
Musashi
(Shining Force)
 
Machinery can't stand up to the true power of a pure blade. Musashi the samurai is one of the oldest and greatest a line of noble and stout-hearted warriors, with countless others striving merely to emulate his unique path to greatness. He has much to stand up and fight for, and not least of his causes is to prove that the way of the sword spirit is a true one. Robo might have many tricks and defensive stalling tactics to slow Musashi's assault down, but in the end it will all be for naught. No matter how much Robo heals, Musashi's blade of doom will finally slice through this foolish creation of man, and the eternal spirit of the samurai shall rule the middle division.

Robo, about the most likeable robot one can find, doesn’t get the love he deserves. But maybe once he achieves victory in the arena people will change their minds about him. Or they might still think he wants to destory humanity, but who cares about the details? The important thing is that Musashi certainly isn’t going to stop him. His swords do pathetic damage, and Robo just blasts him with laser beams. The task of dispatching this puny human is made even easier by the fact that Robo can heal…and the samurai does less damage…has inferior staying power…and is generally crushed by the greatness of the mighty Robo. Beware, humans. You will pay for neglecting him!


Jo'ou Ranbu
The judges weren't entertained by the idea of a Shining Force pure fighter match this week. They wanted amusement, and usually, fights like that tend to be "they smack until one of them dies". No fun in that, right?

So, they had an idea. The match would consist of a Dance Dance Revolution contest, and the combatants would have a choice on their dancing song. Musashi, despite his somewhat clumsy mobility, accepted. Robo was excited, too.

On a side note, the arbiter body consisted of Kuja, Augustine and Precis that week.

And the contest was a blow-out. Musashi proved to be quite the dancing machine under the spell-binding groove of "Butterfly". But no one expected Robo to sing AND dance his own DDR number. "I am Robo, I have metal joints! Beat me up and earn 15 Silver Points!"

The machine instantly broke. Musashi hurriedly gave up the match. Everything seemed to be fine for Robo.

Unfortunately, a big unruly mob of CT players ganged up on Robo and beat him senseless, recalling bad memories from the Millenial Fair. The next day, he also had to deal with a lawsuit from Gato, claiming rights over his song.

Robo hasn't been seen by anyone other than Lucca since.

Musashi: 8
Robo: 53
