Season 55, Week 1
Kasumi
(Suikoden Series)
 
Ninjas are fast. Ninjas are deadly. Ninjas are cunning. Tethe'alla's Chosen? Not so much. Looking over at her opponent today, Kasumi will be able to put these skills to use to easily defeat this buffoon. Although he bears a title worthy of prestige, the man himself is a flirting lout. Despite all of this, Kasumi knows better than to underestimate him. Zelos packs quite the punch, and has a variety of ways to bring the ninja to her feet. However, he lacks one thing: the speed to be able to use any of it. With her ever-faithful Shrike Rune and her alarming speed, Kasumi will have the fool felled before he can even begin to ogle at her. The Chosen can flirt with her all he'd like, just as soon as she's won the match.

Zelos has all the luck. While fellow companion in crime Edge is stuck with quite the sausage fest in his half of the Heavy division, Zelos faces three, count 'em, three lovely ladies he'd like to get know more. Much more. This Kasumi lady seems like she'd be right at home in Mizuho! Sadly, much like Sheena, ninjas infamously go "squish" upon meeting such manly prowess. And her poor evasion rate is shameful for a ninja! Kasumi will be able to resist neither Zelos's charisma nor his his brutal blade, so she might as well just admit defeat and accompany Zelos for a romantic trip to Costa Del Sol. Zelos wouldn't just immediately drop her for his opponent next week, whomever it ends up being. Well, maybe.

So does anyone actually think that Zelos could let an opportunity to hit on the ladies go by without even taking a swing?

Actually, yes. Unlike some of the other perverts around here, Zelos does occasionally know when to knock it off and get down to business.

On the other hand, there are times when he should know better but just can't help himself anyway. Namely when being egged on by his friend and rival, Edge Eblan.

The contest was simple. The first one between the two of them to get a kiss from a lady this season wins. Zelos knew Edge, he knew he was being set up for something, but he just couldn't let the challenge go unmet.

So come time for his first match, Zelos decided to take a gamble. Striding confidently up to his opponent, he swept the lady ninja off her feet and kissed her deeply, right there in the middle of the arena.

Kasumi, stunned by the sheer audacity of the maneuver, was caught quite off guard and actually let him get in a fairly long kiss before she could manage to respond.

Roughly three seconds after she got ahold of herself, Zelos's head was buried in the concrete floor as the result of the most furious Shrike Rune powered ninja suplex the world had ever seen.

But hey, at least he won the contest with Edge, right?
