Nazrin didnt get it because Utsuho and Tenshi only made the pose to be cool, hijiri and shou just overthinked the point of they pose

So technically Nazrim is correct

I'm gonna go with Tiger Lotus as well, mostly because Team Disaster is a comic relief team. Okuu is too dumb and Tenshi enjoys getting her ass kicked too much.

The real question is: how much of a fighter is Byakuren? She's a magician, not a brawler. I can see Shou being an absolute terror in the ring, but Byakuren may be their weak point. She may also take a combination of the "all life is sacred" stance and her love of youkai to avoid fighting Okuu.

On the other hand, she might bust out some Shaolin-esque White Lotus Buddha Palm craziness and smack the crap out of both of them.

Canonically she specializes in increasing her physical abilities, so, even if Yukari's Conveniently Ambigious Almost Any Magic (With Few Notable Exceptions Including Some Specific Situations) Blocking Barrier works, she should have at least some combat experience.

Shou should do that Chinese Tiger form of kungfu, to be cooler, and more type-specific lol

^What I was about to say.

Byakuren isn't like Patchouli or Alice. She uses her magic to augment her physical abilities, as seen in moves like her Superhuman Hijiri Byakuren card. So not only retaining her youth or increasing her speed, but things like strength, or resilience, may be enhanced, as well.

She must be able to do something with all those increased abilities or know how to put them to their best use. And Buddhism and martial arts have long gone hand in hand.

So, even forgetting about her magic, since that wouldn't matter here, she may still be able to throw down. Though, as you mentioned, her biggest block could be her pacifism.

I'm rooting for Tenshi and Okuu...but I doubt they're going to win.

Don't expect Kung Fu from Shou, guys. The pants make it obvious, she's going full on Tiger Mask.

I think Shou and Hijiri will lose by overestimating their opponents and losing the match by unnecessarily prolonging it.

One match I'm seriously fine with either side winning. Like them both ;x
Can't really decide between Okuu and Shou :<

My money is on Hijiri pulling a Suwako

I really, really want Utsuho and Tenshi to win. They're both really strong, final bosses, one is even a fighting game final, and I love them both.

Unfortunately, I don't really them winning. Byakuren specializes in this kind of fighting, after all, and Shou doesn't seem like a slouch either.

It should be close, though.

That's got to be the cutest Rumia this artist has drawn so far.

And due to the Bruce Lee pose, I have now changed my bets to Tiger Lotus. That stance alone is a victory flag.

Tiger Lotus definitely has my cheers for this one. I adore Okuu and Tenshi, but there's just so much more I want to see from Byakuren and Shou. And yet, I have the strongest suspicion that this will be another match with a 'surprise finish' going to Okuu and Tenshi. Either way I suppose I'll be happy, it'd just be nice to see Hijiri win and her shrine get some more attention for it.

Unlike certain matches, this is pretty close, one of the major factors being the mindsets involved. The Tide'll turn quickly if Okuu or Byakuren gets seriously on someone.

Tenshi will lose, because that is her fetish.

Well, someone had to supply the black background for panel two.

funny, i think hijiri is the only one with enough self-control to not pull a suwako

It’s SHOU time, gentlemen!

In addition, I’m not betting on any side this time, since each team has one person I like and one I don’t care about.

Hahaha. Rumia’s attempt to break 4th wall and/or mess with the readers?

If you want to think like that, here's a tip: If you want more pain, you'll drag the match to an everlasting beating, however, your opponent will tire after a while...

I'll state this: I'm againts most fanon crap.

Actually, Hiriji's magic will most likely work. since she only targets herself with her spells, there's nothing for the barrier to quell.

I Hope Tenshi will not be ahhh, you know what I mean guys...

think of it this way, submissions won't work on tenshi therefore they won't be able to make her tap out.
