Season 53, Week 1
Jade
(Breath of Fire)
 
After six long years of winning with BoltX or not winning at all with his matches, Jade finally gets to mix things up a bit in the arena and demonstrate his versatility. If there's one thing that's the butt of more jokes than Jade's lack of versatility, it's how Rubicant wails like a Thai hooker when faced with ice. So, Jade gets to win with a new strategy: Chill. Chill. Chill. Repeat. But while the journey is different this time, the destination is familiar territory: Jade hits harder and is more resilient than his opponent, thus, he wins this little fricassee with the ease befitting a giant mastermind bug.

Two masters of the elements fight it out, throwing deadly fire and thunder at each other in a race to see who can force the other to succumb first in a duel as honorable and fearsome as any ever conceived. Nothing stirs the blazing heart of Rubicant the Fire Fiend more, and the opportunity to unleash his Scorch on an honorable and powerful foe is an opportunity he will savor. And certainly the durable and gratuitously damaging Fiend of Fire will emerge victorious. After all, bugs are fried nicely by flame, and whatever Jade is, it most certainly resembles a bug. So there you have it.

Honorable warrior, sure, but Rubicant has a bit of a, ah, wussy side. Turns out bugs are the biggest issue. Better luck next time, Rubicant.
