Koji’s profile is jam packed with info and multiple tabbers within tabbers, and it frankly hurts me to look at, so I’m gonna need a real rundown on what all this key of Koji does

Koji starts off by charging in with a sword.

I'm using Athanatos Sign.

1. Soul Cutting (Via Creating Astral Weapons)
2. Statistics Absorption (Through an Ability called Hitoshikunai Ichigeki. Can steal 1/4th of the targets AP, Dura, and Speed)
3. Duplication (Can make multiple clones from his soul, all of which have all the abilities mentioned and etc)
4. Explosion Inducement / Transmutation (Can turn people into bombs by imbuing mana into them)
5. Precognition (Koji can measure the trajectory, speed, and aim of any attack perfectly, allowing him to predict movement during combat)
6. Attack Reflection (Counter & Dragon Counter. An self—status effect that reflects attacks upon receiving damage from an action, essentially reflecting said attack)

Koji's main thing is to rush in with his sword and negate dura with soul sword. Before charging he has a tendency to spam stack counter, which manifests as status effects that become damage toward Sakazuki when he is hit with an attack.

So.....what stops Akainu from just negging with the passive heat aura of his attacks?

 

[VNova]

how hot is his fire? Koji took heat at hot as 9.008e10 Kelvin

 

[VeneficaAuthor]

I specifically said in OP that characters with passive/thought/gesture instant win hax are not allowed but idk

I mean, he was accepted though, and now we're in the tourney + it seems like his primary ability overall

Its a bit different in that you have to be, you know, somewhat close to him in order for the heat to actually reach; its also not really passive, as he has to attack with his magma first.

From his page, "He has been shown to repeatedly melt through the bodies of his adversaries, even those stronger than him, with ease due to the incredible heat of his magma"

What stops Koji from skill stomping him with clones if he has to get close to him?

His profile up to his Anthanatos sign only has him listed as resisting 1700 Kelvin, so I'm not really sure where you got that number from.

As for how his magma reaches, it gets anywhere from like 50000-288000 degrees Fahrenheit.

His body is made of magma, and in order to hit him, you need to be able to not only destroy his elemental body, but his "true body" as well; otherwise, he will just create a new one.

Also, simply being able to interact with the magma isn't enough to hurt him, btw.

The next line after the 1,700 kelvin statement.

I'm....pretty sure that's not how that works, otherwise literally every person in DBS would have a resistance of Quintillions of degrees from surviving their universal Ki Blasts.

Akainu is an admiral, he should be able to compete for some time with other top tiers of the verse like Mihawk who’s the greatest swordsman in the world. He also fought another admiral on his level, Aokiji for 7 days straight, Aokiji having training from Garp who’s another top tier in the verse and Hero of the Marines. Koji would need some amazing skill to stomp. As for clones, Akainu has AOE with his magma and precognition with Haki.

In the spirit of advancing the tourney (and there having been ample time for a counter), I’m gonna go ahead and vote for Akainu FRA

Will this be added despite the tier difference tho?

Yeah it’ll be added, there’s nothing about a tier difference preventing a match from being added. Like how Rimuru tempest has a match added where he was High 4-C and sonic was Low 2-C (I believe rimuru actually won that if I remember correct )

Yeah, Just checkin lol

 

[ExSENNA]

It wouldn't be added on Akainu since he's VSB but on Koji it prob would

Not sure why neither of the submitters bothered participating lol

Only Javen vs Akumo left now on Quarterfinals

 

[MintyBoi1]

That’s over already

Oh sorry, did not get notifs on that thread. Semifinals are ready then

 

[Phoenks]

Wow, bro SOLD. Nah, run that BACK.

For one, Koji can tank heat attacks without an issue. He's tanked explosions which are bare minimum 1600K, which is more than magma. He is also resistant to temperature fluctuations like all Arkanes and should be capable of tanking things like the basic Fireball attack which can instantaneously incinerate people to ashes. Not to mention he is quite literally part dragon, and dragons have fire that can vaporize material structures with ease - simultaneously being able to resist said things. This isn't even mentioning that they take 50% less damage from every source.

For two, Koji can instantaneously use the Observe skill to learn everything about the dude's stats and abilities.

For three, Koji can attack the soul directly so the magma body doesn't even matter whatsoever literally. His soul attacks are layered above baseline resistance that all Arkanes inherit, so willpower isn't going to cut it.

For four, he can create clones to just spam soul attacks like this and reduce stats. And regarding skill dude can copy attacks in a glance against people who resist having their stuff mimicked. He can predict attacks easily, and he has a photographic memory.

For five, he can coat himself in a spiritual aura that reflects all non-spiritual attacks, making magma essentially useless.

 

[Rayfire]

Wow, bro SOLD. Nah, run that BACK.

Correct me if I’m wrong, (Which I think I probably am) but I don’t think we’re allowed to vote on anything or make any new points after grace has been reached a whole 2 days ago, since the debates already pretty much finished. But if not, the literal original creator of Koji didn’t even say anything against the current points that were in favor of the other dude. Plus, their magma at a glance makes it seem like it’s super super overhyped, so it’s probably much hotter than irl magma considering anime goes wild a lot, everything else seems fair to my knowledge of both though, but i doubt Koji will use all of those at once, which would leave him open assuming he isn’t being careful and might get one-shotted if that happens, since he won’t have that aura protecting him or anything. Who’s saying he’s gonna use everything at once? but once again I lack knowledge of both

 

[Phoenks]

While the match did conclude I don't think there was enough discussion, especially when you didn't even let the creator of Koji continue to defend the character before votes rolled in.

All the stuff I mentioned is standard Koji stuff that he does. And also, he can resurrect if he dies.

He didn’t respond to anything for 5 days, that was a lot of time to defend, but they didn’t. If it was like for one day only I’d see where you’re coming from, but a whole 5 days without a reason or anything is just…
