Versus Thread III: Return of the Versus - Page 72

Boxers vs. Briefs hmmmm......

Briefs would win. Boxers would throw the fact that it promotes freedom into the brief's face, then the briefs would wrap around the boxers and make them quite uncomfortable and restrict them. Therefore briefs, being the more maniacal of the two, win.

Actually, considering the fact that he can summon the Wind Scar at will, I'd have to say that Inuyasha wins. Unless, of course, Kagome pulls a "Sit, boy!" for picking on a good guy.

BitVyper · 10-04-2004, 01:11 PM

The Eye of Thundera might just absorb/reflect that attack. I'm pretty sure that wind woman managed to at some point or another, so it's by no means impossible, and the eye could absorb crazy red lightning, which is a step above wind.

Cloud Strife · 10-04-2004, 01:26 PM

Can you say 'Red Testsusaiga'? It can slice through any barrier.

Dragonsbane · 10-04-2004, 01:43 PM

Any magical barrier, but Lion-o's sword might not count as a magical barrier. More of a warding thingee that pulls magical energy into itself.

Still, can he use the Windscar when his sword is transformed into the Red Tetsusaiga?

BitVyper · 10-04-2004, 02:39 PM

Will that even work if he's fighting a non-demon? In any case, both swords claim to be the best at what they do, so they probably just clang off of each other. Tetsusaiga however, doesn't claim to be a source of limitless power. We've even seen that it can be broken. I say the Sword of Omens is the more powerful phallic symbol here.

Back to the characters though, Inu Yasha has running speed and endurance on Lion-O, but Lion-O has strength and agility over Inu Yasha. Both have proven more than capable of ripping up trees and other big things with their claws, and both have clothes that offer magical protection. Inu-Yasha has quite a bit of experience, and Lion-O spent a good deal of time training inside that book. Lion-O will never give up, and neither will Inu-Yasha. Both are headstrong, but Lion-O gets a little bit of an advantage here because he's less likely to be blinded by rage. Huh, they're actually pretty damn equal.

Assuming that both swords will transform for this fight, Tetsusaiga has a greater reach, but lacks the power of the Sword of Omens, which seems to do whatever is necessary at the time, like allowing Lion-o to fly, blocking the spells of a really powerful priest, and other stuff like that. Like I said, it's a limitless source of power. It seems more focused on preserving life and protecting Lion-O though, whereas Tetsusaiga is all offense, so it could end up like Sesshomaru's sword, not allowing either of them to kill the other.

This may be a draw.

PsyBlade · 10-04-2004, 03:35 PM

I concur, it does seem like it will end up a draw.
Now if they were sparring, sans swords, it could go differently.

Krylo · 10-04-2004, 06:14 PM

No. It's not a draw.

You're forgetting a few things. First of all, that Inuyasha has many ranged attacks and has, many times, beaten monsters far more powerful than he and tetsaiga combined. AND he didn't do it all plot device-y. He did it through sheer skill.

Now, Lion-O may have spent time training in a book, but look at him in the beginning of the series. "OH NOES! The bad guys are coming! I must run, cower, and then shine my light to call the other thunder cats to save my life!"

Unless he spent 50 years trapped inside that book he has absolutely nothing on inuyasha as far as skill goes.

Secondly, when Inuyasha gets angry, he gets BETTER. Not worse. His skill doesn't suffer or change in any way, but his speed, strength, and endurance all increase exponentially. When he becomes angry enough he actually became a near match for Sesshomaru near the beginning of the series when Sesshy had both arms and Inuyasha didn't have all his tricks.

Thirdly, Inuyasha can rip armies of demons apart with his bare claws, and, if he becomes wounded, can turn his blood into projectiles capable of slicing trees apart.

And, last, but not least... if the windscar fails, if he ends up with his blade locked with the Sword of Omens until the Sword of Omens finally breaks the Tetsaiga, Lion-O becomes undeniably fucked in the ass with a tetsubo. Because without the Tetsaiga Inuyasha becomes fast enough to confuse a mind reader (I'm guessing that means he was moving before the telepath could sort through inuyasha's thoughts), far more powerful than the tetsaiga, he can no longer feel pain, and he becomes deadset on killing whatever pissed him off.

IF it is a draw in every other way, this fight will end when Inuyasha, under full-demon blood induced rage, smashes Lion-o's sword away with his bare fist, and then guts the kid with his claws.

Also:

Quote:

I think he might have a fair chance considering the Tetsusaiga doesn't transform unless he is fighting something with a powerful demonic aura.

Not true. The only thing Inuyasha can't do with the sword unless he's fighting a powerful demon is the backlash wave. He can even do the windscar using nothing but his own demonic aura.

BitVyper · 10-04-2004, 07:13 PM

Actually, Lion-O trained for quite a few years inside of the book with the guardian, and it turned him into a badass, as we can see here:

Inu Yasha has done plenty of stupid things while angry. Yes, he gets stronger, but hell, Lion-O and Mumm-ra were tossing around those trees like soft balls. Inu Yasha's claws haven't ripped up anything that Lion-O's couldn't, but the eighties show had to maintain that G rating, so you don't get to see it too much. Inu Yasha gets fast, but he has no grace or control. In a prolonged fight, Inu Yasha may have an advantage, but it would have to go on for quite awhile. Don't forget though, the Sword of Omens is a holy weapon; it's made for killing evil (and preserving life blah blah blah,) so the more demonic Inu Yasha gets, the more problems he'll have with the sword.

Perhaps, but Inuyasha, in demonic form, had his arm shattered so badly that the skin was broken and blood was spraying out in multiple places, completely ignored the wound and continued toward Sesshomaru to kill him.

Anything the sword did to him in a single blow wouldn't stop him at all.

He does stupid things when he's not angry too. The stupid things he does are almost always related to pride, not anger.

Also, that picture you tried linking to gave me this:
