I'm praying for either a God Uppercut or headbutt from Okuu here, could do some real damage to Suika. Also Sakuya's not looking to good, lotta head trauma happening recently.
Curious that Sakuya's forehead is bleeding while the hair on the back of her head seems to be unstained. Utsuho's head didn't break her open but the mat did?
1. Suika flattens everyone (including Sakuya maybe). 2. Okuu pulls off an awesome move 3. Suika runs out of juice and dose a face plant as her normal self.
No 3 would be by far the most fun way to deal with the situation.

Yeah, because she's been doing that ridiculous time stop shield thing. Here she didn't, yet she's relatively fine. Bullshit! Remember Flandre hitting Sanae?

I actually agree with you in that Sakuya has been a bit on the silly side as far as damage goes in general.
It was like when Orin was trying to choke her out. The plot armour has been a bit over the top.
There's something amusing about the first panel, with Okuu hitting Tenshi some more (in the head no less) to get her up.
That's why I'm going to miss Heavenly Sky, if this is their swansong bout: they're the last team I've thoroughly enjoyed watching since Kirisame Familiar. Every strip with them has been fun. They can even get their opponents to start acting a bit silly with enough push.

Which is why it will be a crying shame if Lost Servants moves on.

I was under the impression that only helped her time her ability under extreme situations.
Aaawwww. Tenshi's getting past her tsundere walls. C'mon guys! Use the power of friendship to win the day! The way this is shaping up is giving me a good feeling for them.
HS vs. Immortals was actually telegraphed by the end of the Higan match. Tenshi thinks Kaguya is a lying cheating jerk and wants to knock her out of the tournament personally.

1. Is Aya included? 2. Would be another awesome moment for Okuu 3. Now that would be a twist, but then it means that Heavenly Sky will win.
Personally I'll go with number 2, but add Tenshi in there, she deserved to get some spotlight. Go Heavenly Sky!
As for Sakuya, even though she keeps saying that she's just a normal human, I'm pretty sure that she already surpassed what a normal human can do, which is good. Let's just see what happens.

If they win it'll be anti-climatic because it was pretty much explicitly told to us from the beginning that Lost Servants and Red 75% would be in the finals so we already knew that they would win.

Yeah and I want to see such a match, it'd be more interesting than some of the other final outcomes.

They also tend to have fun in the ring, and their wins don't feel cheapened by any sort of plot armor.
I've noticed back and forth waves of downvoted comments based on who is vocally supportive of what team over the past week or so of strips. Your stalker will probably either disappear or be pushed back once the downvote tides turn.

If it makes you feel any better I voted your comments up, and I will never understand haters, I support Lost Servants Combination but that doesn't mean that I would just down vote every Heavenly Sky Combination supporter there is, in fact someone one time down voted my comments regarding my supporting of Lost Servants Combination.

strategy is an underappreciated art, it seems. It's clear which team would entertain me more.

it further makes it clear that HS wasn't even giving their all, and winning. I get a sense that, even if Red 75% get to fight them, they would lose, invariably.

I would care for HS, if they didn't just tank their way through the tournament, as if to anger spectators who care about strategy. It's funny how Sakuya's parrying ability is called "cheap", "cheating" (by Sikieiki, even), while Tenshi's armor isn't (and also, *Okuu god chop* "go, Okuu!" *Suika enlarges herself* "Game. Breaker."). People even seem to forget that she has one, and think that she's at disadvantage.
If HS wins, it would only confirm that HS's powers are so strong, that they can get HS through the tournament without HS actually trying their best, or even caring about strategy. Even the supposed handicap of lack of strategy doesn't seem to be enough to stop HS.

Being physically sturdy and able to tank hits without any sort of magic or something isn't game breaking. Being able to time stop anything you can precieve of hitting you within the minute timing it takes and reflecting 120% of that damage back at it's user is.
Okuu's Godchop has a physiological handicap, Okuu's limb hurts so much she thinks she's broken it. Sukia's "size" manipulation, since she's never used any density control at all, is also game breaking since she gets all the bonuses of whatever her size allows with only minimal disadvantages.

We all hope that shirou has since decided against that course of action.
He has changed his mind a few times on outcomes and how the teams act.

The down voting we are seeing while childish is needs to be really bad become it is abuse. Someone would literally have to be stalking you and down voting all your comments in all images.

what you basically said was, Tenshi is allowed to use her armor, Okuu is allowed to use her chops, but Suika and Sakuya aren't allowed to use their abilities? Also, Okuu's nukes are totally worth it, the rewards are way greater than the risk involved. Why care about how damaged Okuu is whenever she uses the nukes, when 4 limbs, not more, are enough?
Sakuya's parrying ability isn't easy to perform, and as the match progressed, it became impractical (too much risk after it's been known how it can be countered, though it still can be used, as long as the opponent doesn't suspect it, because if he/she does, the punishment for a missed parry can be too much for Sakuya).
Suika's ability is nearly at the same level of Tenshi's hardness, and is also counterable (Okuu's chops, but not limited to; any heavy hit such as Yugi's will do). Tenshi's armor, on the other hand... even if you know how to counter it (which Lost Servants has done and executed well enough), it's still not enough.
Suika's at fault too, for not completely disabling Okuu (like she believed she did). At least, though, Tenshi failed to overpower Sakuya in the latter's own field of advantage (grappling techniques, in case I have to spell it), like she intended to do.
Jeez, how much of a brutal beating can tenshi take? SOMEONE WIN!! I DON'T CARE WHO WINS ANYMORE JUST END THIS ALERADY!!! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!! *votes for suika/sakuya*
I cheer for whoever I want to see more of. And that really isn't Lost Servants... the last thing I want is the servant vs master final, and the sooner that gets derailed the better. Because that would be pretty boring to me... human with a shield teamed up with a monster known for strength and durability vs human with a shield teamed up with a monster known for strength and durability. Neither team which seems to think strategically in the terms of the metagame, going in just to use their tactical ability like they're fighting ordinary wrestling... Red 75% seems particularly out of it, only waking up in the last round when Reimu realized that Marisa was setting up a meta which could potentially lead to revolution. I really want to see someone in the final that actually understands the meta and is playing it and can truly create a story around the fight, and that's Moriya or the Immortals... because otherwise just get a brawl without much context. Servant vs Master simply won't work, because there's no one on either team to build that up and play it... much like there's no one in this fight to set up a meta like the obvious Momotaro one.

What? Suika took two God-chops and the first one only made her fly high enough to throw Tenshi down, the second one seems to have only work because she enlarged herself, and she is still fighting while enlarged, meanwhile Tenshi was slapped by Suika twice and then throw against Sakuya using her skill and since then she cant even fight back
Tenshi has defense, but thats all she has, she doesnt have the same level of defense (or more) while having super strenght and sizechanging like Suika, doesnt she have some special ability than can deflect more damage back to the enemy than works both in offense and defense
Suika still has one move she hasn't used. The one where she uses a cloud of miniatures to attack. Even if it'd amount to a little more than a stiff breeze, it's not like their opponents are in any shape to resist.
Yes, let's watch Suika go poof like Unzan! Doing the swarm thing is a bad enough idea, without having just been in giant form at the end of a long fight.

remember Byakuren took 4 of the limbs plus Tenshi's peach bombers? While Tenshi's back was half-broken?
It took a combined effort from Sakuya and Suika, to get that close to defeating Tenshi's defense, where Byakuren didn't even get as close as that.
To put it shortly, Tenshi will have as much defense as the plot demands; it's sad to see that the author preferred to help the "politically correct" (in surface) team, instead of having the winner be decided on an actual test of skill.
Also, Sakuya's parrying skill is high-risk, think of a glass cannon that can't afford to commit mistakes.
