Honestly this was the worst fight in the series so far

If it's not a god that's already shown up and a Greek god then that'd be beyond lame, especially since there already has been one Greek god who joined despite them not originally being involved in the tournament

The roster of RoR is kinda trash let's be real the series is carrried by the premise.

Human roster is cool. God roster is vanilla.

Really the reason it's cool is because they have several people not much is known about so they can make the cast their own characters. I think that's impressive and generally a good idea but it most certainly could be considered a good or bad thing.

What even funnier is that none of those gods are going to participate in the tourney, heck even majority of Greek Gods never display any of their power outside Zeus and his brothers

It's 70% Greek and Norse its boring.

so the next fighters are nostra and simo wonder who are they gonna fight
- 6,901

Ima bet Nostradamus vs Apollo and Simo vs Odin.
Plague doctor who can see the future vs Plague creating God who decides the future.
Inhuman marksman vs Spear thrower that never misses.
- 32,359
- 20,298
Nostradamus vs Odin makes more sense. Apollo's weapon is a bow so he could fight the sniper.

Too simplistic for my taste. Mid writing would get midder. But all of these people are basically OCs with little relevance towards their actual myths/irl lives so I guess author can do anything they want.

i like how in universe the tournament has only being going on for like 2 hours
- 6,901

Check out this theory post I made a long time ago when the writing was good. Ignore the Fenrir stuff but I still prefer Odin as Simo's opponent.

Hoping the next fights aren’t just glorified brawls and the gods actually use there powers more

Simo Hayha is overrated

If you mean IRL then I partially agree. On one hand he only fought in a war next to
nobody in the US knows about (the winter war) but on the other hand he pretty much embodies why Finland didn’t just lose it and also would have been in WWII (among others) if he didn’t have to deal with his wound from losing half his face thanks to a high power bullet in the jaw.
There’s also the feats of having gotten well over two hundred confirmed kills with hundreds more unconfirmed in less than one hundred days and as a sniper in weather so bad that most people couldn’t see a thing. But of course he grew up in that weather so that’s more of a boon than a bane.
Really the part I agree about that is the fact that he could have done more but instead was around for a single war before getting shot and having to live until the ripe old age of 96. It’s actually ironic now that I think about it, and sad in a way.

Don't forget that man was the OG 360 No Scoper. No seriously, guy used a sniper without a scope because he didn't want the glint to give his position away. Didn't affect his aim one bit. The Russian army were so terrified of him they resorted to using artillery to carpet bombard the mountains rather than send soldiers after him since he would just pick them off.

Ok this is both ridiculous, hilarious, and, something I can imagine and I have no idea how. While Odin certainly could not be expected to lose to anything less than his prophesied killer the idea of him being alongside the most “ordinary” of the combatants is bathe kind of thing that I can hardly believe anyone could think of… which is exactly why I can see it happening if the writers agree.

If I remember correct it was also to avoid it being fogged by the cold weather… and curse you for making me imagine him turning 360 degrees at a crouch then shooting someone, just because he can.
Then there’s him having a bitingly cold tongue because he didn’t want the fog of his breath giving him away.

Still overrated and overpraised, same can be said to Yi Shun Sin

None of them are human. Every single one of them displays superhuman or supernatural abilities. That's another issue I have with the writing. Makes it harder to root for anyone since it just feels like some godlike beings vs some gods. There should have been at least someone who gets victory via working through their human limitations and weaknesses.

That would be a lame twist considering how he is a human IRL and actually accomplished those deeds.
You underestimate the power of exaggeration and have a weird definition of human. At least Jack and QSH have abilities outright based on real life conditions and the abilities of Adam make perfect sense with what he is, to say nothing of those with superpowers “from training”. I already have mixed feelings about QSH having superhuman mirror touch synesthesia when it’s a variation of how I believe Jack’s eye came to be. Meanwhile Adam is portrayed as superhuman because of how he was built from clay with a godly spark. Then there’s the fact that I’m pretty sure Sasaki’s “scanning” was gained from him observing the world and his unique approach to training until it became that advanced. Lastly Lu Bu’s whole thing is just him training too hard to like his position as “the strongest.”
I have nothing to say about Raiden though.

Raiden was just born horrifyingly jacked for reasons that will never be explained lmfao.

Lu Bu doesn’t really train. He is just a monster because yes.

No, there was a scene where he was training. I can find it.

Honestly, Shiva vs Raiden is the most random fight in this battle so far

That’s not training his strength, that’s him trying to make a new technique
- 39,668
- 15,591
Developed a new technique is still counted as training, no?
- 13,587
- 5,754
Shush you. Lu Bu was brought up in the context of being the strongest.
Not when it does nothing for him. He was always freakishly strong with nothing he does actually stressing him in terms of strength. Even in that scene to develop Sky Eater, he swings 10s of thousands of times with no sign of fatigue. It’s a city level guy doing normal human callisthenics.
