Season 51, Week 3
Geddoe
(Suikoden III)
 
While his opponent may represent why you shouldn't underestimate youth, Geddoe represents why you shouldn't underestimate middle-aged old men. Indeed, Geddoe's wealth of experience in battle, combined with his True Lightning Rune, make Geddoe probably the worst kind of opponent for Arnaud to face. Arnaud has a sharp mind and a bag of tricks, but Geddoe's seen it all and will most likely see right through it all! Arnaud's durability in quite suspect as well, so Geddoe won't need many charges of his legendary rune to dispatch his upstart opponent - and with a fancy yellow scarf, it's unlikely that a lot of Arnaud's talents will stick, ensuring the match is a jolt to him!

Two powerful mages fighting it out in a battle of magic. In a scenario such as this, the size of a man's muscles have no effect on the outcome. It's all about the mind, and Arnaud (as always) can boast of the advantage in that regard. Geddoe's lightning magic is ineed frighteningly powerful, but Arnaud's magical manipulations are more effective still. Arnaud can make time his tool with Slow Down to run circles around the one-eyed man, can cure any insomnia Geddoe may be having (and then kill him) with Sleep, and can even reflect one of Geddoes' mighty lightning magics right back at him. Magical melees are won from the neck up, as Geddoe is about to learn the hard way.

"Alright. Look, Arnaud. I respect you as a duelist, but let me put it this way." Geddoe said, facing Arnaud down outside the arena. "Do you know how the brain works?"

"Yeah. Neurons firing." Arnaud nodded.

"Right. And you've seen those computers around? You've heard the term "electric brain" for them, no? It's the same basic principle - just instead of neurons you've got transistors firing."

"Uh..."

"And those things fry masterfully with an application of electricty. Well, most - can't say Worker 8 will be easy, but them's the breaks for me. Still. If I can turn a computer into molten slag..."

"..."

"Still confident in everything from the neck up?"
