Season 51, Week 5
Gijimu
(Suikoden II)
 
Little girls don't do well against hulking men with axes. Gijimu has no protection against Porom's bevy of statuses - not like it matters, as a single set of hits from his Double Beat axe will send Porom packing. She may be smart and sweet and have a skillset some Godlikes would envy; she's still a little girl, and take hits like one. Gijimu's Double Beat backed attacks can dispatch her in one hit- and the lampdragon bandit is more agile than he looks. He's very likely to get the drop on Porom and end the fight before her magic can make things unpleasant.

The hard part of the season's over. Porom's going to battle with Gijimu, who also has a light title and painful downgrade to his record. Both know what to do for victory and won't fool around. It'll be Porom's crippling status and deadly Holy spell against Gijimu's excellent strength and his Double Beat rune. No matter how defensively either plays, this fight will be over in a couple of actions tops, so the focus will be on crippling the other. It'll be magic against axe, and it's well known how well mere weapons fare against the sacred power of White Magic.

Gijimu>Porom:

Eh.

Winning by shrinking things over and over is boring.

Right?

Porom is, of course, boring. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have a soul in there, one that cries out for originality, for change!

Certainly, she wouldn't do the same things over and over again!

Lord Gijitron looked out over the city of Zanarkand with a fierce glare.

His massive, blizzard-laser double-ended axe in hand, he stared out over the beautiful scenery at his nemesis, the terrible Magical Princess Warrior Ghalyria, as her raucous "Ohohohohoho!" boomed out over the cityscape.

He knew what he must do. Readying his final strike, he charged.

"FINAL SPECIAL DEATHBLOW BRILLIANT HI-OUGI: CALAMITOUS BUNKER DRIVER TWIN-BLIZZARD AXE SHINRYUKEN CRUSHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gijimu, weaving unsteadily, bellowed, smashing his axe into the floor.

The entire arena became a towering pillar of flame.

Well, Porom learned a few valuable lessons.

First off, Confusion doesn't stop attacks that hit both the ally and the enemy. Gijimu barely survived his own assault. Porom was nowhere near so lucky, having barely survived Gijimu's first attack herself.

Secondly, axes are dangerous even if they don't go anywhere near the face.

Thirdly, don't use Confusion on creative people.

Fourth, boring is underrated.
