Josuke Higashikata vs Nora Valkyrie

Not open for further replies.
Nora definitly has an advantage at a range, although Josuke can still hit her with some rocks/bullets thrown by Crazy Diamond to whittle down Aura at a range. I think when he gets close he can disable/warp Nora's weapon out of function, although getting past Aura would be difficult unless he can catch her in a stand rush.

I think Josuke takes this high-diff. Crazy Diamond can punch some of the projectiles out of the air, and when distance is closed Nora would probably take some damage from projectiles from Josuke, and a quick Stand Rush would likely be enought to break aura and for him to take her out via fusionism.
 
@Dargoo He's have to get througg her aura to disable her weapon as her weapon is coated in aura as well
 
Also, punching her projectiles would be a bad idea as she can charge them with electricity and make them explode into electricity on contact
 
I'm not entirely sure if they would explode due to Crazy Diamond's ability; fusing the metal and dust into a congealed mass would likely disable it.

Nora would still have a lot of trouble hitting him with an invisible Stand intercepting her attacks. It'll take a decent number of punches to disable the aura, sure, but the invisibility should grant him enough time to break though with punches.
 
DANG IT

WHY DO WE HAVE SO MUCH JOJO VS RWBY

WHY IS WEEKLY PROMOTING JOJO VS RWBY

IS THIS PURGATORY

DID I DIE AND GET SENT TO BE PUNISHED FOR A FEW HUNDRED YEARS FOR MY BAD MEMES

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Josuke wins via speed and hax
 
They exploded when CD punched Bad Company's missiles, why wouldnt they explode here? And even if they didnt, all Josuke would be doing is hitting nora with electrical attacks that would make her stronger
 
CD can't use its abilities on stands, actually, and Bad Company's projectiles are part of the stand.

>Josuke would be hitting Nora with electrical attacks

nani
 
Im aware, i didnt say it used its ability on CD i said CD intercepted its missiles just like it would be intercepting Nora's grenades here.

Did you miss the part about the grenades exploding into electricity? :p
 
Why wouldn't he use his stand's abilities on a mundane weapon/explosive? There's clearly a reason why it wouldn't work for Bad Company, but it would work fine here. Josuke's also intelligent enough to adapt and use his stand to mess with the explosives considering the many obtuse ways he employs it in combat.

Nora uses her grenades at a range though, she needs to be electricuted herself to amp. Unless she explodes them on herself to do that, which would still sort of hurt her/deplete her aura from the explosion part.
 
Where has he shown to manipulate the properties of an explosive used against him?

Thats what im saying, if he reverses her electric grenades and sends them back at her she will be electrocuted which will end up making her stronger.
 
No i mean like what proof is there that he'd be able to alter Nora's grenades so they no longer have electrical properties. He'd be electrocuted by them if he intercepts them with punches and has no idea that Nora can absorb electricity so why would he have any reason to make them non-electrical?
 
The proof is his ability itself. He can fuse various objects together, and her explosives wouldn't be exempt from that. Hence there is no reason he can warp the projectiles to where they are non-fuctional, and there is no reason to assume he isn't ingelligent enough to pull something like that given how much he innovates with his powers.

He doesn't need to "alter the explosion", he needs to alter the explosive.
 
Yes but the question is why would he do that? It doesnt make much sense for him to do anything other than send the grenades back at Nora just how they are when he has no idea what Nora can do
 
He would do that to not have massive explosions hit him or his stand, I'd assume.
 
Yes he'd reverse them so he doesnt get blown up but they'd still explode into electricity when he launched them back as ranged attacks at Nora

Also i just want to point out that attacks that Cd reverses can still end up damaging CD and Josuke, again something that happened against Bad Company, CD was hit by missiles that he ended up reversing, but they ended up severely injuring Josuke by blowing two holes in his arm in the process. The same would happen here except he'd get electrocuted instead of just blown up
 
That's because the missiles hit, then he activated the stand ability to surprise Keicho. If CD touches the missile before it explodes and immediatly activates the ability, it would just go back into Nora's weapon.

And they wouldn't explode when they're reversed back to Nora as they'd just go into whatever barrel was holding them and be inert.
 
Yes so it would just explode as electricity without being altered which would end up making her stronger as per her semblance, thats what i was trying to say
 
It wouldn't explode though.

If Josuke activates the ability, it would travel back into Nora's weapon as if it never had been fired.

The only way Nora could have her bomb explode on her is if she explodes herself, which will cause her damage and is mostly out of character, or if she enters close range combat with Josuke, which an invisible punching ghost says "no" to that.
 
@Dargoo Why would it not explode? When he reversed Bad Company's missiles they exploded when they hit their target, so why would they not explode here? Also putting grenades back in the chamber of her launcher would definitely cause them to explode if she tries to fire another grenade while the returned grenade is in the chamber.

Its really not out of character at all seeing as she's allowed herself to be hit with lightning, electrical bullets, enemy electricity weapons, and even Hazel's electricity attacks as a means of amping herself.
 
Josuke has a great deal of control as to the degree of his ability; he can choose when his ability deactivates. When he reversed Keicho's missiles, if he kept his ability active, they would have just went back into the stand. However, he deactivated the ability last-minute so that it would hit Keicho. Here he doesn't really have enough knowledge about Nora like he does ot Keicho to try and pull stuff like that, he would be cautious and just nullify the attacks while he analyzes her abilities.

She ca do it, however she doesn't do it often. Especially not with her own weapon.
 
Yes but how would he be able to analyze the fact that she can absorb electricity without first using an electrical attack against her?

She's done it in like every fight against human opponent that weve seen her in. Also she amped herself with electricity from her own weapon against the Petra Gigas so yes she would actually do it with her own weapon.
 
He wouldn't. I'm saying he'd be cautious with her, and making the projectiles go all the way back to the weapon would be the safest option for him.

Links to when she hits herself with her own weapon.
 
Why would he not just have the grenade blow up in her face? It seems like a pretty logical thing to do when someone shoots one at you and you can reflect it back. Putting it back in her weapon doesn't make much sense.
 
Yes which would cause Nora to accidentally blow herself up as they'd be back in the chamber when she tried to fire them again which would electrocute and then amp her

Here all the way to the end of the video, she charger her hammer with electricity to amp herself to the point that she can oneshot the Geist
 
Fairly sure Akira vs Nora is unfair unless Akira can speed amp and has even more electricity than normal.

But this isn't Akira.

I'm leaning towards Nora for Weekly's reasons, high-diff.
 
@Super and Epic Im guessing you didnt read any of the thread? Its already been explained why Josuke's hax wont help him here

Also Josuke has lower durability
 
Okay, so Nora gets hit once, he notices the amping, then stops having them explode on her.

Nora still has to deal with a stand she can't sense or see punching her when she's in range from locations she can't see. And the moment her aura is down she's toast. Projectiles still wouldn't harm Josuke due to stand interception and his ability, so Nora has no choice to enter close range, at which point she gets DORA'ed out of nowhere and launched back. Repeat until her aura is down, then Josuke haxes.
 
Once Nora gets amped her AP goes up to the point she can oneshot him

Also Nora isnt stupid, if she gets hit by something she cant see but only in melee range she'd know to stay far and range spam
