Season 58, Week 2
Naoto Shirogane
(Persona 4)
 
The plucky boy (... er, girl) detective didn't fare to well in her first Godlike outing, but really nobody expects the Heavy Champion to do well their first time. Now with a little experience under her belt, Naoto faces her a more suitable test of her skills, Ensign Kenni. Strangely enough however, Claude bares a great resemblance to her foes from her championship run, a hard hitting slugger with a glaring weakness to magical beatdowns. And we saw how much of a chance they had when they stood in her way. It'll be just like old times - Claude will take the field, try to hurt Naoto with his physical attacks, and then one quick combo of Mind Charge and Megidolaon later, Naoto will be cruising along to the quarterfinals, and hopefully a real challenge.

It's time for everyone's favorite ensign to blast off again! Claude Kenni's in prime position to show off his stuff. Instead of battling a multi-time Godlike champion in Ghaleon, he gets an upgraded Heavy. While Naoto Shirogane's instant death antics got her to Godlike, they won't keep her around for long. Claude's equipment makes him immune to Light, Darkness and Instant Death, making the vast majority of her skillset useless. Energy Sword can more than repair any damage Naoto manages to do with her feeble physicals and magic, and worse for her is Claude's devastating Mirror Slice. A single shot of Mirror Slice should be more than enough to fell Naoto, and nothing in the detective's arsenal can stop that Claude from landing that fatal attack.
