Erza Scarlet vs Boa Hancock

[Graf_Thorsdottir]

Sorry everyone, I just have to make this match :>

This is post 2nd ts Erza.

Both with their latest canon (manga) feats.

For this fight, Erza will not be affected by Hancock's charm.

Bloodlusted and victory by KO or death.

Erza has all her equipment shown so far in the entire FT series.

Fight takes place on that Tartarus Cube (Plutogrim or whatever its name is)

R1: Speed equalized

R2: Speed unqual

Who wins each round? Please provide rational reasoning and don't just give 1-2 word answer based on your preferred character

 

[Non-Bias]

The stat difference says that Boa wins this. Erza probably has an advantage in the speed equalized round though.

 

[Czuczian11]

R1: Boa blitz with spam of attacks that will eventually knock Erza down with no way to retiltation

R2: Erza wins thanks water empress set , she also have higher attack potency and durability ,and most likely superior stamina- while Boa precognition and speed advantage would be hindered thanks to equalization of speed

Plutogrim have also a lot of water inside the demon castle and outside main island so the battlefield would grant Erza advantage

 

[CinCameron20]

R1: Boa Hancock via petrification. They are relatively equal physically otherwise. Hancock has Salome as her support anyways~

R2: Boa Hancock via Petrification and Salome. Erza may have a wide range of armors and weapons, but none of them would do any good once hit by Hancock's physical attacks. Salome will also be there to support Hancock. Erza's water based equipment would do no good. She has never been shown capable of summoning enough water to cover even half of someone like Hancock's body.

 

[TripleX6]

Round 1 and 2 go to Boa

 

[Alakabamm]

R1: Boa due to speedblitz, precognition and amplification of attacks with Haki. It will be a hard fight because she is going against an enemy that has much more durability and stamina, but she should win eventually.

R2: Erza mid dif. Without the speed advantage the only way Boa is ignoring Erza's attacks is precognition and if she even takes one it becomes extremely hard for her to win.

Some comments: While the water armor MAY be a useful tool against Boa, there is absolutely no reason Erza should know that weakness. As specified by the OP, petrification is NOT a factor here because Erza is not charmed by Boa. I also doubt Erza is a lesbian so the petrification wouldn't work even if that wasn't specified in the OP. Additionally, Plutogrim is a moving airborn fortress - there is no reason to assume there would be water anywhere near Plutogrim.

 

[Czuczian11]

Ehhem As you can see at least around half of Cube is water.

If Erza have a knowledge she wins with 0 difficulty in round with speed equalized (unequal would still go to Boa)

 

[CinCameron20]

If it is speed equal, how would Erza beat Boa? And Boa would not be stupid enough to allow herself to be cornered right next to the water and she also has Salome to support her.

 

[Pocket-Chu]

Boa takes both rounds without much trouble.

 

[OishiLover75]

Should I list Boa as the victor?

 

[Blanked]

R1 Boa can't petrify if Erza she feels no lust towards and she definitely wouldn't plus it's a battle condition. Salome can help Boa but don't think she could win anyway plus Erza's water armor would be rather useful and in general the variety of attacks and Erza was already shown to be capable fighting 2v1 without big problems.

R2 speed blitz is unfair lol.

Threads like this can be "revived" or they should be closed?

 

[CinCameron20]

@William - yes she can petrify Erza. Erza only needs to feel lust to be affected by the love beam, but Hancock can turn her to stone with physical strikes. She can do the same to Erza's weaponry.

Are you telling me that Smoker's Jute felt lust as Hancock kicked it? hahaha

But yes, this thread should be closed due to being outdated.

 

[Blanked]

@cin Cameron Erza can as well just keep distance and it's not like Boa can continually petrify everything it's insane especially with the fact Erza can use that as a decoy by switching her armors and weapons in almost an instant and attack her.

Plus if she gets too close there is always water attack.

 

[CinCameron20]

Boa Hancock can petrify anything she touches, if she so desires. Also, water only affects DF users if they are waist deep submerged in it, unless you're looking at non-canon material such as the anime filler and films. Boa Hancock has pre-cognition due to her being a confirmed Kenbushoku haki user. Erza is not even going to land a blow if speed is equalized. One quick jab to Erza's head, and she will die.

 

[Blanked]

Always with precognition. Erza fighted Cobra who literally reads the mind of his opponent so she can deal with precognition and being able to petrify "anything" doesn't mean she can petrify magical based attacks or stop the nakagami starlight or many other elemental attacks or several sword attacks since she can't touch them all.

And Erza was also shown in 2v1 battles so she wouldn't be caught out guard by salmone and usage of different weapons ad armors like fire and water at the same time or lighting are all huge advantage you basically consider Boa using precognition passing Erza defence and one shots as if we are talking about fighters with huge AP or speed difference.

Oh and only base speed is equalised so Erza can move faster if she uses flight armor.

 

[CinCameron20]

You do realize that when Erza fought Cobra, she was unable to tag him, correct? Even if you look at the NON-CANON fight they had in the anime, Cobra landed numerous blows on Erza before she won via "power of friendship". Also, the precognition between haki and cobra's mind reading is different. Kenbushoku haki shows what is about to happen in the future.

Boa Hancock can still evade and use her long ranged attacks like Slave Arrow, which would also petrify Erza immediately upon contact, if we're going to ASSUME she can't petrify Erza's weapons and armor. Too bad all of Erza's armors leave her exposed due to fan-service... if she wore realistic armor, she might have actually stood a chance~

 

[Blanked]

kay now the power of friendship thing is rather phataethic excuse since you don't have others not to mention friendship is their motivation not power so stop using a lame excuse please she won fair and square and mind reading is better than precognition since precognition is limited to maybe one or two moves mind reading is constant.

That would only work if she petrify Erza with first shot since once she sees her ability Erza won't allow to get hit, simply uses sword or elemental attacks to block it np cause she also has telekinesis as help and as I said nothing stops Erza from blocking with weapon in one hand and attack with other and if you think about it precognition can't be used constantly.

Actually armors that are important for defence and purgatory armor are completely covered.


Anyway I am gonna end it here since it's nothing more than point of views.

 

[ScarletFirefly]

You're acting like Erza would get tagged by the first arrow Boa launches. She has range, AoE and flight on her side and when she realizes Boa's arrows turn things into stone, she's gonna switch to armors that cover more body percentage. She has a lot of those.

Not mentioning the fact that she can tag Boa without physically touching her.

 

[Joshua.foote.14]

This isn't the first time that Erza has taken on a foe that can turn people into stone, so I say Erza.

 

[Blanked]

@joshua that petrifycation was via sight and Erza was unaffected by that it's different.

 

[ScarletFirefly]

Also I just saw the OP. This is post 2nd timeskip Erza with current feats, so this should definitely be closed.

 

[Joshua.foote.14]

OK.
