Best Friend Squad Vs Team Toguro
She-Ra the Princess of Power vs Yu Yu Hakusho, Magic vs Demonic Energy, Good vs Evil, which two teams consisting of power houses with unique abilities will win in this tournament of fate?
https://youtu.be/92H3Mscg7QQ
<Cue: Invader Theme>
Toomi: As humans, there are sometimes many reasons to how they may end up getting the powers.
Megumi: Either they may be predestined to have it, gained it by accident, already have it or straight up give up their humanity for it
Sachi: And to commemorate the end of the year, we will be pitting two teams with such abilties.
Toomi: With The Best Friend Squad, the team of friends consisting of She-Ra, Catra, Glimmer and Bow,
Megumi: And Team Toguro, the human turned Demon team with it's members consisting of Younger Toguro, Elder Toguro, Bui and Karasu.
Sachi: Unlike the 2019 finale, Ultimate Force Zero vs Space Kaijus, this year's team fight would be done in a more tournament style, meaning that instead of fighting all at once, each members would be facing each other off individually.
Megumi: Hell, let's put them in the Demon World Tournament to make it more interesting. She's Sachi, Toomi and I'm Megumi.
Sachi: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle
Bow formed the Best Friends Squad for What if Battles
https://youtu.be/RBX4IwvGjm8
<Cue: Bisexual Anthem by Domo Wilson>
Toomi: The Best Friend Squad, the name formed by Bow acts as a symbol of Adora, Glimmer, Bow and eventually, Catra's friendship with each other.
Megumi: Glimmer originally wanted to call it the Glimmer Group but yeah, that name kind of suck.
Sachi: After meeting Bow and Glimmer, Adora who at that time was still loyal to the Horde, eventually changed after encountering the Sword of Etheria.
Toomi: You see, the Sword of Etheria is a special kind of sword that allows the user to transform into a powerful Amazonian warrior of incredible strength, speed and agility.
https://youtu.be/rOd-iMiqh9A
Adora: For the Honor of Grayskull!
Megumi: Now I know what you might be thinking, after giving Wonder Woman a tough fight and having He-Man around, She-Ra is just too op am I right?
Toomi: Not exactly Megumi, this version of Adora did came from another planet from a people called First Ones, a race of magical people. So shockingly, she is not the twin brother of a certain power house that lives in Eternia.
Sachi: But like her original counterpart, Adora eventually turned away from the Horde and joined the Rebellion after seeing the evil that the Horde has done, joining alongside Glimmer, Bow and the Princesses in their fight against the Horde.
Megumi: But it turns out Hordak is not the real enemy for as the series progresses, there was a big boss in the series by the name of Horde Prime who wants to take over all of Etheria.
Sachi: After a reconciliation session with Catra who revealed to have feelings for her, She-Ra then defeats Horde Prime and thus saved the universe.
Megumi: Now that's the best ending to a show, when the power of gay love was all it takes to kill an alien dictator that has destroyed planets.
Toomi: Let's start off with the genius of the group, Bow. As his name suggests, Bow is a skilled archer, carrying his signature bow and arrow to battle.
Megumi: He also carries all sorts of arrows, like Net arrows for trapping enemies, Rope Arrows from climbing and wrapping and explosive arrows for exploding enemies
Toomi: And having two dads who are Historians, Bow is also a good historian and skilled with a violin with him using these talents to track down lost info about the First Ones.

Sachi: Moving on to Glimmer, his girlfriend. Being the daughter of Queen Angella, Glimmer is one of the Elemental Princess, which gives her a special connection to the Moonstone. Her connection grants her a variety of abilities, many of which revolve around light.
Megumi: And after Glimmer became queen, Glimmer completely connected with the Moonstone, which greatly increased her powers.
Toomi: Her abilities involves teleportation, where she can teleport herself and others multiple times. She can also generate aura, and fire magic blasts in the process.
Sachi: She's also a pretty decent hand to hand combatant and effectively perform a location spell, levitation spells, and a truth spell.
Using the Sword of Protection, Adora can transform into the legendary warrior She-Ra. Described by Mermista as being eight-feet tall, Adora becomes much taller and more muscular when transformed into She-Ra.

Toomi: And after going through lessons from Shadow Weaver, Glimmer is able to master the ability to use runes and spells.
Sachi: Moving on to Catra, the cat-like villainess turned anti-heroine of the show. Being an arch-enemy to She-Ra, Catra is capable of withstanding blows from the warrior, being able to match against her time to time
Megumi: She's also a master strategist. Capable of outwitting, outmaneuvering and physiologically exploiting Adora, the Princess Alliance, and even Hordak himself.
Toomi: And as a cat, Catra possesses pretty much everything a cat has, sharp claws, flexible tail, enhanced strength, and agility.
Sachi: She can scale up walls, block arrows in a fight and her claws are strong enough to cut through metal.

Megumi: She's super strong, capable of punching through walls and tanks and she is also strong enough to lift large boulders
Sachi: She also has healing powers which she can use to either heal herself or other living things like healing the entire Plumeria from a poison from the Horde and even once healing Shadow Weaver.
Megumi: And she can summon swords out of thin air now!

Toomi: With her powers, She-Ra has shown to be capable of taking blows ranging from explosions to blows from Horde soldiers. Even once tanking the full power of the Heart of Etheria which was mentioned by Light Hope to be capable of destroying the universe completely.
Megumi: And being the Princess of Power, She-Ra is considered to be strongest Princess in Etheria, scaling over each of the Princesses who possesses elemental powers that makes them more than capable of destroying hordes of well Horde soldiers.
Sachi: Catra is also no slouch in battle as well, shown to be capable of dodging blasts from an enraged Hordak, evade swings from She-Ra and even defeat Tang Lashor in the Crimson Waste with minimal effort.
Megumi: And did I mentioned that Catra has a really cute sneeze?
https://youtu.be/PU83aut7BVQ
Catra: Ah choo!
Bow: Awww. That's your sneeze?
Catra: What?
Bow: It's just so...cute.
Toomi: And speaking of Catra, Glimmer herself has shown to be more or less on par with her, and with Shadow Weaver even acknowledging her for being as gifted in magic as her father.
Sachi: In fact, during an interview with Noelle Stevenson, she responded that Glimmer has the best powers out of all the Princesses due to hers being the strongest, coolest and most useful, since her teleportation has saved her friends from time and time again and enabled her to dodge lasers from Horde Soldiers.
Feats
She-Ra has destroyed Horde tanks with minimal effort
Both Catra and Adora were promoted to Force Captain
She-Ra has defeated Catra multiple times
She-Ra is able to take down Horde drones even as Adora
She-Ra rescued Glimmer in the Horde's base
She-Ra was able to take the full power of the Heart of Etheria
She-Ra defeated Horde Prime, thus saving the entire universe
Bow is able to defeat Horde Soldiers in battle
Bow is able to hold his own against Catra in battle
Bow is able to take down Scorpia in battle
Glimmer is able to defeat Catra
Glimmer is able to match Micah in battle
Glimmer was able to use a Truth Spell successfully on Double Trouble
Glimmer is able to take on Rogelio, Lonnie and Kyle easily
Catra is able to match She-Ra in battle
Catra defeated Tung Lashor
Catra has succeeded in leading the Horde into conquering Salineas
Catra managed to overthrow Shadow Weaver and Hordak, eventually becoming the leader of the Horde
Toomi: But the one impressive thing that the group has accomplished is defeating Horde Prime which thus ended up saving the universe as a whole.
Megumi: But don't let their powers fool you though, the good thing about the show is that many of the characters have notable flaws in their personality, with Glimmer being rather short tempered and stubborn which in turn has put her friends and herself in danger many times.
Sachi: And Bow has no superhuman abilities.
Toomi: And Catra being a cat makes her tense up over the mention of a mouse and she hates water.
Megumi: Is it scary that Netossa somehow knows everyone's weaknesses? I mean, she even knew how to deal with Bow.
https://youtu.be/GE8_iZGxUhE
<Shows footages of Netossa snipping Bow's bowstring, shocking him>
Megumi: Yikes!
Weakness
Adora as herself possesses no superhuman abilities
Bow possesses no superhuman abilities
Glimmer cannot use her powers in space due to the distance between her from the Moonstone
Glimmer has Crippling Self-Doubt and Overwhelming Hubris
Catra is rather insecure
Catra is afraid of water
Toomi: And Catra has shown many signs of Borderline Personality Disorder. She has a tendency to be ambivalent to outright hostile towards her underlings, distancing herself from them, but when they leave, she becomes clingy and jealous. She exhibits notable anger issues, and demonstrates suicidal tendencies in Seasons 3 and 4. However since joining the rebellion her mental health has improved significantly.
Sachi: Which is no wonder why Catra has such a huge fanbase.
Megumi: Well, when the universe is in danger, one can always rely on the power of the Best Friend Squad, cause one thing's for sure, never underestimate the power of friendship.
https://youtu.be/5AiVMM1hkm4
Glimmer: Catra's saved the day!
Bow: Come here. Best Friend Squad hug!
Team Toguro eviserates What if Battles
https://youtu.be/1wc-AQJ2MYo
<Cue: Go West by Village People>
Toomi: Team Toguro, a team formed by well, the Toguro brothers are a team consisting of four highly formidable and sinister Lower to Upper B-Class demons with a rather nasty attitude.
Megumi: Yeah, talk about no mercy, this team is a true example of it.
Sachi: The team, led by their manager, Sakyo acts as the final adversaries to Team Uremeshi at the final round of the Dark Tournament where they were all forced to go all out on each other until their demise.
Megumi: Let's review them based on their death orders starting with Karasu.
Sachi: An unspecified number of years prior to the last Dark Tournament, Karasu was defeated by the Toguro Brothers in a fight, and was almost left for dead
Toomi: As a means to reclaim his stolen pride, Karasu joined Team Toguro and fought alongside the brothers within the Dark Tournament, in hopes that he might some day become strong enough in order to kill them.
Megumi: In other words, they basically made him their bitch until he can prove himself.
Sachi: During the Dark Tournament, Karasu spent most of his time watching from the sidelines to study the way how Team Uremeshi fights, even fighting one match against a demon named Midorenjya to which he easily won.
https://youtu.be/426w-Ke-N5c
<Shows footages of Karasu standing up just as Midorenja's body went off in a massive explosion.>
Megumi: Holy shit!
Toomi: Eventually, Team Toguro will meet up with Team Uremeshi where Karasu developed an interest for one particular member of the team, Kurama.
Megumi: To which they fought until Kurama killed him though because Kurama was still down past the ten counts, Karasu was declared the winner by default despite losing the battle.
Sachi: Similar to his opponent, Karasu uses his demon energy in order to manipulate objects. However, given the fact that he is a Quest-class demon, Karasu's powers can affect the intangible world
Megumi: For those of you who don't speak nerd like me, that basically means Karasu can create any objects he wants out of demon energy alone. And that guy is basically a real life Micheal Bay movie.
Toomi: One such technique is known as explosive touch, where he creates tiny bombs out of his hands or even the thin air itself to which each are powerful enough to explode body parts but are too weak to create huge explosions.

Sachi: There is also the Deleterious Bomb which are three sticks of dynamite powerful enough to destroy chucks of the stadium, Trace Eyes, bat-like bombs that pretty much works like heat seeking missiles, persuing the opponent until they hit.
Megumi: He also has grenades which are basically ordinary grenades, Mad Bomb which works like a bear trap and he himself can be used as an explosive as well. Holy shit! Hollywood better get this guy, cause with all those bombs, all those movie companies can save up in explosive budget.
Toomi: However, all of that firepower true potential is heavily restrained by the very mask he wore, with him being able to unleash his fullest potential after losing it during his fight with Yoko Kurama.
Megumi: Good ol' Karasu, wearing his mask years before Covid was a thing.
Toomi: That mask does more than protect you in a pandemic Megumi, that mask holds back Karasu's full potential and his rather more maniacal personality. With that mask gone, Karasu is able to dodge many of Yoko Kurama's attacks and throw enough explosives to force him back into his physically weaker human form.
Sachi: And then Karasu would sadistically torture Kurama
https://youtu.be/gXJx_UgFvuU
<Shows footages of Karasu throwing bombs onto Kurama, causing them to explode all across his body>
Toomi: Moving on to the tank of the team, Bui. A demon who once fought Younger Toguro only to lose to him in the end.
Sachi: And like Karasu, Bui stuck around with the Toguro Brothers, training himself by donning armor in hopes of becoming powerful enough to beat them one day.
Megumi: So Shredder over there pretty much hang around, killing one or two guys before confronting Team Uremeshi in the final round, taking on Hiei after Kurama killed Karasu in the previous match.
Toomi: After spending a few minutes clashing with Hiei, Bui eventually decided to remove his armor to fight Hiei at his full power.
Megumi: Wait, how can that be? I thought armor are usually built to protect the wearer?
Toomi: In most cases, yes. But for Bui, the armor does not protect him from anything, it protects his opponents from him going out of control.
Sachi: You see, like Hiei's bandage, Bui's armor seals off his powers and once removed, he can not only move faster, but he can hit harder and fight better before, enabling him to fight at his fullest potential.

Megumi: He can even fly and shoot energy blasts at his opponent. And a really large axe he can summon out of thin air and use it to either slice people's head off or throw it at them.
Toomi: But one of his most notable techniques is the Aura Battle Cross Attack, which was only shown in the anime where he can willfully adjust the power to the point he determines to be enough to kill his opponent, which backfired as Hiei sends it flying back towards him.
Sachi: Eventually, Hiei defeats Bui, scoring the first win for Team Uremeshi while sparing the demon.
Megumi: So let's get on with the Toguro brothers.
Toomi: Starting with the youngest, Younger Toguro's large muscular built pretty much spells out what he is capable of, raw strength as he was shown to be capable of lifting a large pound of rock with ease, kill demons effortlessly and even utilize a damaging aura powerful enough to obliterate humans and weaker apparitions easily.
Megumi: Well duh, if your appearance is literally based off the Terminator played by Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, why wouldn't he be having those big muscles?
Sachi: But Younger Toguro is well known for his signature ability, Percentage Power, where he can regulate how much of his maximum power he releases, ranging from 0% to 100%.
https://youtu.be/eIb36Qb1kSk
Younger Toguro: You have great power, you're right to be proud. It's unfortunate you have to die now. But I will honour you will 45% of my strength.
<Shows footages of Younger Toguro's muscles expanding before switching over to him easily killing the five demons easily.>
Megumi: Wait?! That was 45%?! He literally wiped those guys without effort!
Sachi: It's not even the most impressive. He once defeated C Class Demon Shuzuki with barely 3% power.
Megumi: So, by doing the math, Suzuki must be 3% of Toguro power. And those guys he soloed must scale to his 45% power right?
Sachi: Not exactly Megumi. Toguro's Percentage Power surprisingly does not work to scale him to his opponents. He usually likes to humour his opponents with his power before taking them out. In fact, it has been proven consistently, like in the Saving Yukina Arc, Younger Toguro was able to kill a demonic beast with 40% power, before stating that he would have required lesser. And his ability to kill demons effortlessly kinds of proves that
Toomi: Such ability has enabled Younger Toguro to not only punch harder and move faster, but it has increased his regeneration and durability to the point he is able to tank a direct hit from the Spirit Warriors leader's axe and even Yusuke's Spirit Gun which after gaining a power up from Genkai's energy, is powerful enough to create large craters with a single blast.
Megumi: So if that was 45%, how is he like in full power?
https://youtu.be/RzZLKveuxVM
<Shows footages of Younger Toguro going full power>
Megumi: Damn! Now I get the anime trend of "That's not even my full power"
Toomi: At his hundred percent power, Younger Toguro is capable of absorbing the souls of the audience in order for him to maintain his power. And in that form, Younger Toguro is capable of tanking blows from Yusuke and even took down Kuwabara.

Sachi: And now moving on to his older brother, who is basically called Elder Toguro.
Toomi: During their younger days, Genkai and the Toguro brothers built a dojo together before a demon by the name Kairen killed their students.
Megumi: The trio then participated in the Dark Tournament where they won, only for the brothers to wish themselves to become demons so as to never grow old and to continuously train their powers
Sachi: Unlike his younger brother, Elder Toguro is far more sadistic than he is, admitting that he is not hesitant to cheat and he himself has even went far enough to mock the death of his enemies, especially Genkai.
Toomi: Though Kuwabara has defeated him before, Elder Toguro was able to heal from his wounds thanks to his shapeshifting ability, enabling him to morph his body, regrow lost limbs and even heal from wounds.
Megumi: The only way you can truly kill him is to pierce his brain but good luck doing that when Elder Toguro can literally move it around his body.
https://youtu.be/WOVKw18sY0c
Elder Toguro: The only chance you have of beating me and surviving Kuwabara, is to pierce either my heart or my brain. But that's not very fair is it? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack except this needle moves whenever it chooses.
Megumi: Yikes! I can see where they got that idea for Parasyte.

Toomi: But after the Tournament, Elder Toguro was then consumed by one of Sensui's henchman named Gourmet to then which he began to possess him, gaining control over Gourmet's body and powers. And taking a blow from his physically stronger brother helped evolved his healing factor, rendering him unkillable.
Sachi: Being B Class demons, all four of them are capable of killing lower C to B Class Demons, with the Toguro brothers winning several matches alone with no help from their henchmen.
Megumi: But both Karasu and Bui are no slouches in battle either as the two have been shown to not only be capable of killing lower level demons, but also hold their own against B-Class Demons of the same level as them or even an A Class.
Toomi: Especially when Karasu was able to hold his own against Yoko Kurama, the same Yoko Kurama who was known as an A Class Fox Demon. Though he only held the upper hand when Yoko Kurama reverted back into his human form.
Sachi: And Bui not only tanked the full blast of the Dragon of Darkness Flames, but he was also able to send it redirecting back towards Hiei, being one of the few people to survive the attack.
Megumi: The same attack that vapourises Demons of C, B and A classes.
Toomi: Not only that but both Elder and Younger Toguro has not only won their first Dark Tournament once but after becoming demons, they were capable of surviving attacks that would normally kill any human or demon.
Megumi: Like the time when the island where the Dark Tournament took place exploded only for Elder Toguro to survive before being found by Sensui.
Feats
All members of Team Toguro are capable of killing lower class demons
Karasu killed Midorenja
Karasu was able to hold his own against Yoko Kurama before forcing him back into his weaker human form
Karasu held the upper hand over Kurama
Bui killed Kirenjya
Bui tanked a blast from his own Battle Aura
Bui not only survived tanked the Dragon of the Darkness Flame, but he was able to redirect it back at Hiei
Elder Toguro singlehandely wiped out an entire team of demons
Elder Toguro survived getting cut down by Kuwabara's Spirit Sword
Elder Toguro survived the explosion of an island
Elder Toguro survived getting eaten by Gourment before possessing his body
Elder Toguro is by far the only non-reformative villain to last the longest in the series without dying
Younger Toguro killed a monster with thirty percent of power, before claiming that he would have only needed lesser
Younger Toguro destroyed a building with one punch
Younger Toguro has been able to force both Karasu and Bui into slavery
Younger Toguro defeated Suzuki with barely three percent of his power
Younger Toguro wiped out an entire team with only 45% power
Younger Toguro killed Genkai
Younger Toguro in 80% is capable of tanking several blasts of Yusuke's Spirit Gun
Younger Toguro in 100% is able to kill a group of demons with his aura alone
Younger Toguro injured Kuwabara
Toomi: However, despite their teamwork, it's shocking to know that in their fight against Team Uremeshi in the Dark Tournament, none of the members of Team Toguro had won a single match.
Megumi: I mean Karasu technically won because Kurama was down past the ten count but he wasn't alive to celebrate.
Sachi: And Bui though he did sent the Dragon back to Hiei, the attack not only did not succeed in killing him, but Hiei was able to absorb the Dragon into him, making him stronger to the point Bui just cannot seem to hurt him.
https://youtu.be/YiGA4tJCnI4
<Showing footages of Bui throwing a barrage of attacks at Hiei desperately, with Hiei taking the blows with no visible effect.>
Weakness
None of the members of Team Toguro won a single match against Team Uremeshi with Karasu only winning by default
Without his mask, Karasu is rather psychotic and machosistic
Most of Karasu's attacks were ineffective against Yoko Kurama
Karasu was killed by Kurama sending a blood sucking plant onto him, draining him off his blood
Bui was unable to hurt Hiei, resulting in his defeat
Despite working alongside the Toguro brothers, neither Bui nor Karasu are loyal to the brothers, only working with them in hopes of becoming strong enough to beat them one day
Elder Toguro lost to Kuwabara in a match
Elder Toguro was sent flying by a single punch from Younger Toguro
Elder Toguro's skin is not invulnerable and can still be pierce and cut
Elder Toguro was stucked in limbo from Kurama's Sinning Tree, getting tortured for all eternity
Younger Toguro and Elder Toguro wished themselves to become demons, giving up their humanity for power and immortality
Younger Toguro was defeated by Yusuke
Younger Toguro was sentenced to eternal limbo
Toomi: And their Elder Toguro's arrogance has also been his downfall as with him boasting about his immortality, Kurama was able to plant a sinning tree over him
Megumi: Uh Toomi, what's a Sinning Tree?
Toomi: A Sinning Tree is a plant native to the Demon World that feeds through siphoning the life of prey through its tendrils and roots. Upon ensnaring a victim, the tree responds to the memories of the victims, flooding the consciousness of the victim with hallucinations of wickedness, and forces them to replay their fears as it feeds off of its victims' life force, never stopping until its host is dead.
Megumi: So when Elder Toguro mentioned that he cannot die, you mean...
Toomi: Yup. As a result, he is locked in eternal torment, trapped in an endless hallucination of his battle against Kurama.
Megumi: Yikes.
Sachi: And when Younger Toguro used all his power, his body eventually gave way causing his death after his match against Yusuke. And guilt ridden over the sins he has commited, Toguro requested Koenma to sentence him to the last cycle of Hell, in which he must undergo 10,000 years of torture repeated for 10,000 cycles until his soul ceases to exist
Megumi: But though Yusuke ended up facing stronger enemies in future, he can never forget the impact this team of demons have made on his journey.
https://youtu.be/VuNyJOV4iAk
Younger Toguro: You need some motivation and that's why I come here, to show you my true power!
Toomi: Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.
Sachi: Don't forget to vote, comment what you think of the fight.
Megumi: Yeah, but right now, it's time for a Death Battle!
Fight
Dark Tournament Arena
In the large circular structure of the tournament, loud arrays of cheers echoes across the seats as hordes of demons sat in anticipation for the match to begin.
Koto, a young woman with an average built with fox ears and tail stands in the middle of the stage, making a loud announcement.
Koto: Alright, ladies and gentlemen, after all this time, we have finally made it to the semi-finals to determine the champions of the Dark Tournament.
Koto then began introducing the first team.
Koto: Coming from a world called Etheria, we have Team Glimmer!
???: Uh, don't you mean the Best Friend Squad!
Koto: Huh?
Koto widens her eyes in shock, looking down as she saw a tall African American boy calling out to her.
He is Bow, one of the members of the Best Friend Squad.
Stepping up behind him are Glimmer, Catra and She-Ra, the members looking around as the hordes of demons around them began erupting in a mass of jeers.
Demons: Boo! Boo! Go to Hell humans!
Catra however, seems unfazed by the hurl of insults and she remarks.
Catra: Jeez. Tough crowd huh?
Ignoring the jeers, Koto began introducing the second team.
Koto: And facing off the Best Friend Squad comes Team Toguro!
Almost immediately, the jeers switches into a mass of cheers as four menacing figures steps out of the other side of the arena, shocking the Best Friend Squad.
Bow widens his eyes in horror, his jaws drops as he whispers.
Bow: Holy. That's Team Toguro?
She-Ra: I got to admit, they do look pretty tough.
She-Ra, Catra, Glimmer and Bow stood back, staring at the Toguro brothers, Bui and Karasu, neither side making a move.
However, noticing an abnormally, Koto began announcing.
Koto: Now, for this match, all teams should have five members participating but it seems like both sides are short of one member.
???: Not for long.
Koto widens her eyes, looking just as a short suited figure steps into the arena, shocking her.
Koto: Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like Sakyo is stepping into the arena.
Pulling out his cigarette, Sakyo calmly stops beside Younger Toguro, declaring out.
Sakyo: The rules states that each team needs five fighters right? Well I will be representing the fifth fighter of the team but I won't exactly be fighting, I will be staking my life knowing that Toguro and his team would wipe them out before my turn arives.
Upon hearing that, Glimmer exclaims out in exasperation.
Glimmer: What? Fifth? I didn't know we need a fifth? Where's Scorpia? Entrapta? Mermista? Sea Hawk?
Bow: I don't know, none of them were interested to participate.
Catra: Well what are we gonna do? If we don't get someone soon, we'll be disqualified.
As the group contemplates their situation, right at that moment...
???: Hold up! Hold up!
She-Ra: Wait. What?
Everyone turns their heads, their eyes widens as a winged figure steps into the arena, his hoofs clasps against the concrete ground as he approaches the team.
At the other side, the members of Team Toguro watches in intrigue as a tall white Pegasus with rainbow colored wings steps in, announcing out.
Swift Wind: Fear not everyone! My name is Swift Wind and I will be representing the Best Friend Squad as their fifth warrior!
She-Ra: Swift Wind!
She-Ra exclaims out as she runs forward, wrapping her arms around the pegasus in a tight embrace.
Swift Wind: Hey Adora.
She-Ra: What are you doing here Swift Wind?
Swift Wind: What does it look like, I'm gonna be your fifth fighter.
Catra: So you gonna fight suit guy there or any of them?
Swift Wind takes a glance at the members of Team Toguri before answering Catra's question.
Swift Wind: Hopefully Suit Guy. But if there comes a chance I am going up against those other creeps, these wings will gracefully take me away from here!
Catra could only facepalm at the Pegasus' words.
With both sides completed, Glimmer then questions.
Glimmer: So who do you think should go first?
Bow: Allow me!
Bow steps forward, pulling out his bow and arrow as he steps into the ring.
At the same time, Younger Toguro stares at the boy before questioning.
Younger Toguro: Would you like a go Karasu?
Karasu: The boy intrigues me. I'll take him on.
Karasu then jumps up, landing feet first into the arena before staring down at Bow, shocking the boy.
Bow: Whoa. That guy sure is tall.
With both fighters facing each other, Koto then announces.
Koto: Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, the first match between Bow and Karasu begins!
Announcer: Fight!
Round 1: Bow vs Karasu
https://youtu.be/Jr4TMIU9oQ4
<Cue: Gimme Gimme by INNA>
Bow readies his bow and arrow, staring intendly at Karasu as the latter simply stood still with his hands in his pockets.
Karasu then asks.
Karasu: Well? Don't you want to make the first move?
Bow attacks first by pointing his bow forward, launching several arrows at Karasu.
The demon lunges forward, swerving left to right, dodging arrows after arrows before swinging his leg up, striking Bow under the chin.
WHAM!!!
Bow: WHOOOOAAAA!!!
As Bow is sent flying upwards, Karasu suddenly appeared behind him before swinging his arm out, striking him by the back.
WHAM!!!
Glimmer: Bow!
The group watches in horror as Bow crashes face flat onto the floor, pushing himself up as Karasu stares down at him, saying.
Karasu: Come on boy, is that the best you can do?
Bow: No.
Bow then fired an arrow straight towards Karasu, sending it flying.
Karasu swings his arm out, preparing to break the arrow with a single swing.
However, right at that moment...
SPLORCH!!!
Karasu: What?!
Karasu exclaims out in shock, finding himself stuck within a rather sticky bizzare looking slime.
As the demon tries to wipe himself clean of the slime, Bow proudly questions out.
Bow: Slime arrow. How do you like that?
Karasu: Very clever indeed.
Karasu spreads out his hand, dropping a grenade before it goes off in an explosion.
KABOOM!!!
As the smoke clears, Karasu's eyes widens in horror as Bow charges forward, swinging his bow across.
Bow: HAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Karasu moves across the arena, dodging blow after blow from the boy before jumping up into the air, sending down a wave of winged Trace Eyes down.
As the bombs homes in onto Bow, the archer fires several arrows upwards, sending them flying straight at the bombs.
Upon impact, both the bombs and the arrows went off in a fiery explosion.
KABOOM!!! KABOOM!!! KABOOM!!!
Bow then moves across the ring, firing shots of arrows at Karasu.
Twip! Twip! Twip!
Karasu swings his arms out, countering the barrage of arrows with explosives, creating a mass of explosions across the ring.
BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!
Right at that moment, an arrow flies across the air, striking Karasu straight in the face.
POK!!!
The impact of the blow immediately sends Karasu's mask flying off, causing it to drop onto the floor.
Clak!
At the side of the arena, She-Ra, Glimmer and Swift Wind lets out a cheer while Catra smirks.
Glimmer: Alright!
Picking up his arrow, Bow turns around, questioning his opponent.
Bow: What's wrong? Did I hit you too hard? Cause your mask just came off.
Karasu's frown turns into a sneer as the demon chuckles, his raven black hair suddenly changes from black to blonde, shocking Bow.
Bow: Whoa.
Shocked, Swift Wind shifts his head close to She-Ra, asking her.
Swift Wind: Hold on. He wasn't blonde before wasn't he? How did he do that?
She-Ra: I don't know but I've got a real bad feeling about this.
Catra: Yeah. That laugh he's making sure is creeping me out!
Narrowing his eyes, Bow questions Karasu.
Bow: What's so funny?
Karasu then ceases his laughter before answering.
Karasu: I'm impressed kid. You managed to land a hit on me. But by knocking that mask off, you're going to realize just how foolish you are once I take you on with my full power!
Karasu lunges forward, spreading out his hands only for Bow to swerve his body to the side, dodging a direct touch from Karasu.
Bow points his bow forward, launching an arrow only for Karasu to throw a grenade, causing it to explode upon impact.
KABOOM!!!
As Bow looks left and right, right at that moment, Bow's eyes widens as he found himself staring right into the palms of Karasu.
Bow: Oh no...
Karasu: Bang.
Wrapping his fingers around Bow's face, Bow could oonly quiver in fear as his entire face went off in a fiery explosion.
KABOOM!!!
Horrified, everyone stares wide eye as Glimmer screams out in anguish.
Glimmer: BOW!!!
Dropping the now dead body of Bow onto the floor, Karasu faces the remaining members of the Best Friend Squad just as Koto announces ouot.
Koto: After performing such a devastating attack on Bow, it's no doubt he can't get up after a ten count with a face blown up like that so the winner of the first round is Karasu!
KO!
Satisfied with their first win, Elder Toguro chuckles out in malicious delight.
Elder Toguro: Well would you look at that brother. It seems that those kids are even more pathetic than I thought.
Younger Toguro: Yes. That boy doesn't stand a chance.
Angered, Catra declares out.
Catra: Alright! I'm taking him on!
Glimmer: No.
Catra stares at Glimmer, her eyes widens as Glimmer steps forward, saying.
Glimmer: I'll go.
She-Ra: Glimmer!
She-Ra protests, only for Glimmer to raise up a hand, stopping her as she spoke.
Glimmer: I loved him Adora. And he took him away from me. It's only right I make him pay.
With that, Glimmer disappears in a flash before reappearing in front of Karasu, facing him.
Kota realizing that both Glimmer and Karasu are in the arena, she then announces out.
Kota: Alright. Since Glimmer has stepped into the ring and Karasu hasn't moved from his spot, the second match would be between the Best Friend Squad's Glimmer versus Team Toguro's Karasu!
Round 2: Glimmer vs Karasu
https://youtu.be/fh0yHa1Waxk
<Cue: In and Out by Red Velvet>
Karasu lunges forward, baring his hands just as Glimmer jumps back, dodging a swing from his hands.
Glimmer thrusts her hand out, sending several blasts of magic flying right towards him.
Karasu then jumps up into the air, dodging the blasts.
Just as Karasu is up, right at that moment, Glimmer reappears above him, swinging her leg up before sending it striking him square in the head.
WHAM!!!
Karasu: ARGHHHHH!!!
As Karasu is falling, Glimmer thrusts her hands out, sending a barrage of magic blasts down onto him.
THOOM!!! THOOM!!! THOOM!!!
Karasu barely had time to recover as he felt the magic projectiles strike him all over the body, sending the arena in a massive explosion.
KABOOM!!!
Dazed by the attack, Karasu clutches his head, stumbling back before feeling something strike him from behind.
WHAM!!!
Karasu: ARGHHHHH!!!
As Karasu stumbles forward, Glimmer thrusts her hand out, sending a powerful blast of magic flying right at him.
The magic blast struck Karasu square in the chest, causing it to go off in a massive explosion.
KABOOM!!!
Karasu: HUARGHHHH!!!
Agonized by the impact of the blow, Karasu vomited blood onto the concrete ground as he clutches his chest, feeling a rather large gapping hole over it.
Glimmer could onlt watch coldly as Karasu drops down onto the floor, dead.
As blood began pooling underneath Karasu's body, Koto began announcing out.
Koto: Wow. What a quick turn of event folks. With Karasu dead, this second round goes to Glimmer!
KO!
With Karasu dead, Younger Toguro frowns as Sakyo remarks.
Sakyo: Hm. Well that was unexpected. It seems like those children have something up their sleeves.
Younger Toguro: It doesn't matter. Those children may have took out Karasu but they still stand no chances against us.
Elder Toguro: Heh heh heh! Well in that case, I should go next...huh?
Elder Toguro looked, shocked as Bui raises up his hand, not saying a word.
Noticing this, Younger Toguro smirks and he says.
Younger Toguro: You want to have a go? Well go ahead Bui.
Without saying anything, Bui steps up into the ring, facing Glimmer as Kota announces out.
Kota: Alright ladies and gentlemen, with Bui stepping up into the ring, the third match shall be Bui from Team Toguro versus Glimmer from the Best Friend Squad! You may begin!
Round 3: Glimmer vs Bui
https://youtu.be/pIIR8dNoy6M
<Cue:Gigan's Theme>
Towering over the princess, Bui opens up his hand, summoning a rather large axe.
Without saying a word, Bui slams the blade into the tile.
THOOM!!!
Glimmer: Whoa!
Glimmer exclaims out in shock as she watches Bui slowly lift his axe up, but what she found shocking is that beneath the axe's blade, the concrete tile of the arena is stuck wedged inside of the blade
Glimmer watches in shock as Bui swings his arm out, chucking the tile straight at her.
Glimmer quickly disappears, teleporting herself to safety as Bui continues swinging his arm, throwing more tiles at the princess.
Glimmer thrusts her hands out, sending a barrage of magic blasts across the arena, each of them exploding upon impact with the tiles.
KABOOM!!! KABOOM!!! KABOOM!!!
With the projectiles disposed off, Glimmer then shouts at Bui.
Glimmer: Alright! Enough of this. If you want to kill me, can you at least try harder?
Bui simply stood there in momentary silence before a deep raspy voice echoes through the bottom of his mask.
Bui: Fine.
Bui then releases his grip off the hilt of his axe, dropping his weapon down with a loud thud.
Glimmer watches, raising an eyebrow as Bui grabs a piece of his armor before pulling it off, dropping it down.
But to everyone's horror, the ground beneath cracked upon impact as pieces and pieces of Bui's armor falls into the ground.
Glimmer looks up as Bui removes his helmet, revealing a rather young man with short blue hair and a scar on his forehead.
Bui: I must admit, you really had me there kid. But let's see how well you can fight when I can finally let loose!
WHOOSH!!!
Glimmer could barely comprehend what happened as Bui rushes forward, throwing a powerful punch across her cheek.
Glimmer: WHOAAAA!!!
As Glimmer is sent flying, Bui launches himself upwards, only for Glimmer to suddenly disappear.
Bui: Huh?
Right at that moment, Glimmer reappears beside Bui before swinging her leg out, striking Bui across the face with a single kick.
WHAM!!!
Bui: ARGHHHHH!!!
Wiping the blood off his mouth, Bui retaliates by throwing a couple of punches, striking Glimmer square in the body and the face.
WHAM!!! POW!!!
As Glimmer is falling back, Bui thrusts his hand out, sending a blast of energy flying towards her.
PIU!!!
Glimmer looks down before disappearing, teleporting herself out of the way.
As she reappears at the side of the ring, what she saw causes her eyes to widen.
Instead of flying straight, the blast of energy began turning, making a beeline straight towards her direction.
Glimmer: Uh oh.
Glimmer quickly turns around, running as the sphere of energy continues flying after her, moving within sync of her movement.
Bui watched the scene unfold, laughing out loud.
Bui: Ha ha ha! No matter how you run girl, that blast will follow you until it hits!
Glimmer: Really? Thanks for the tip.
Glimmer then disappears before reappearing in front of Bui, shocking him.
Bui: Huh?
Before Bui could react however, Glimmer suddenly disappears, causing the sphere of energy to fly straight towards him.
Bui could barely react just as the energy struck right into him, causing him to go off in a fiery explosion.
KABOOM!!!
Glimmer then lands feet first into the ground, turning around as she asks.
Glimmer: Weren't expecting that we're you?
However, to her horror, as the smoke clears, Bui simply stood in the middle of the ring, barely dazed by the attack.
Shocked, Glimmer asks.
Glimmer: But how?! That attack hit you.
Bui: It did but I fired a blast with the kind of power I wanted to kill you.
Feeling rather offended by Bui's scornful words, Glimmer retorts.
Glimmer: Yeah well I have faced enemies far more stronger than you!
Bui: Why you little?!
Glimmer raises up her hands, summoning a magical barrier over her body just as Bui begins by throwing random punches and kicks at her repeatly, his blows bouncing off her barrier.
THOOM!!! THOOM!!! THOOM!!!
As Bui continues his continuous barrage of attacks, he shouts at the girl.
Bui: Come on! Fight back!
Narrowing her eyes, Glimmer thrusts her arms out, unleashing a powerful explosion of magic across the arena.
Glimmer: HUARGHHHH!!!
THOOM!!!
Bui: WAHHHHH!!!
Bui screams out in agony as the impact of the blast sends him flying across the ring.
Glimmer flies across the air, swinging her arms out as she unleashes a hail of magic blasts at Bui.
SHOOM!!! SHOOM!!! SHOOM!!!
Bui halts in midair, looking up just as the blasts strikes into him, causing his body to go off in a fiery explosion.
KABOOM!!!
Bui: ARGHHHH!!!
Bui coughs out blood, clutching his body just as Glimmer rushes forward, throwing a punch across his face.
WHAM!!!
As Bui is sent flying, Glimmer clenched her fist, a powerful surge of energy emits around her body.
WHOOM!!!
Glimmer then thrusts her hands out, unleashing a powerful blast of magic right at him.
THOOM!!!
Bui could barely react as the blast of magic struck right into him, causing him to let out a loud bloodcurdling scream.
Bui: ARRGHHHHHH!!!
Bui body then went off in a powerful fiery explosion.
KABOOM!!!
As Glimmer powers down, she watches just as Bui drops down onto the grass patch outside of the arena, unconscious.
Kota shifts herself close to him, nudging at Bui before loudly announcing out.
Kota: With Bui out of the ring, the winner of the third match goes to Glimmer!
KO!
Cheering out, She-Ra began congratulating Glimmer.
She-Ra: Good job Glimmer!
Catra: Yeah, way to go!
However, right at that moment, Glimmer drops down onto her knees, panting in exhaustion.
She-Ra: Glimmer!
She-Ra, Catra and Swift Wind rushes onto the stage, tending to the exhausted Glimmer.
Looking up, Glimmer smiles as she remarks.
Glimmer: WOW. I Guess that last Attack really did a number on me huh?
Swift Wind stares at the body of Bui and he agrees.
Swift Wind: Yeah. No kidding.
Across the arena, Elder Toguro chuckles in malicious delight.
Elder Toguro: First Karasu and then Bui. Heh. That girl sure is something. Too bad she's all out of juice.
Younger Toguro: We still have two more to handle brother.
Younger Toguro reminds his older brother.
Sakyo stares at the group at the other side and he questions.
Sakyo: Hm. I wonder who would they send next?
As She-Ra sat Glimmer down, Catra points a thumb to herself as she declares out.
Catra: No worries. I'll go next!
She-Ra: Catra are you sure? Those two guys do look kind of tough.
Catra: Eh, I'll be fine Adora. This should be a piece of cake.
Catra confidently declares out before leaping up into the air, landing feet first into the arena.
Sakyo notices this and he says.
Sakyo: Hm. Seems like the cat wants to play.
Elder Toguro chuckles and he drops down from Younger Toguro's shoulder, saying.
Elder Toguro: Well, Guess it's my turn then.
Elder Toguro steps into the ring, facing off Catra just as Koto announces out.
Koto: Alright, without further ado, let the next match between Elder Toguro and Catra begin!
Round 4: Catra vs Elder Toguro
Cracking her knuckles, Catra listens as Elder Toguro spoke.
Elder Toguro: A little warning for you kitten, my claws are not only much sharper than yours but they definitely do more than just scratching curtains.
Catra: My, you really know how to talk a lot do you?
Catra questions Elder Toguro mockingly, causing the demon to let out a fit of screeching laughter.
Elder Toguro: AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Oh joke about this all you want kitty. Enjoy this moment before I rip you to shreds.
Before Elder Toguro could react, Catra lunges forward, leaping at what seems to be the speed of a freighter train before swinging her claw across.
SLASH!!!
Catra widens her eyes in shock as she found her claw slicing through Elder Toguro's head cleanly.
Catra moves back, her eyes narrows cautiously as she stares at Elder Toguro who remained motionless.
Catra: Huh?
Watching from the side of the ring, Swift Wind widens his eyes and he remarks.
Swift Wind: Well that was easy.
Famous last words.
Right at that moment, Catra felt a sharp sensation pierce through her body.
SHOK!!!
Catra: ARGHHHHH!!!
She-Ra: Catra!
Catra drops down to her knees, clutching her body in pain as she looks down, finding a rather strange pale sharp object piercing her torso.
Catra looks back, what she saw causes her eyes to widen in shock and horror.
Standing behind her stood Elder Toguro with his arm outstretched into a form of a blade, but what caught her attention was the presence of Elder Toguro in front of her.
Catra: How?! I just sliced your face, you shouldn't...be alive.
Elder Toguro smirks and he answers.
Elder Toguro: Oh don't get me wrong, you did got me alright, but with my healing factor, that wound you gave me...
The ground ruptures, revealing the other Elder Toguro to be a fleshy part of the demon as he finishes his explanation.
Elder Toguro: Hurts as much as a paper cut.
Elder Toguro pulls his doppleganger back, retracting his fingers as he questions Catra.
Elder Toguro: So what is it going to be cat? Are you now willing to accept your unconditional defeat now?
Catra: Heh. You must be joking.
Without warning, Catra leaps up into the air, swinging her claws down onto Elder Toguro.
Both Catra and Elder Toguro swings their claws at each other, clashing with each strike filled with the intend to take out their opponent.
CLANG!!! CLANG!!! CLANG!!!
Catra leaps back, dodging a swing from Elder Toguro before thrusting her leg out, striking him in the back.
WHAM!!!
Angered, Elder Toguro turns around, swinging his claw across Catra's body.
SLASH!!!
Catra: ARGHHHH!!!
As Catra drops down onto the ground, Elder Toguro lunges forward, screaming out.
Elder Toguro: You're mine!
SLASH!!! SLASH!!! SLASH!!!
She-Ra: CATRA!!!
She-Ra screams out in sheer horror, watching as Elder Toguro continues cutting Catra across her body, causing him to let out a loud shrill maniacal laughter.
Elder Toguro: AH HA HA HA HA HA!!!
With blood pooling underneath Catra's remains, Koto then announces.
Koto: Ooh. Looks like Catra won't be getting up from that. Therefore, the winner of the fourth match goes to Toguro!
KO!
She-Ra: No...
Tears streams down She-Ra's eyes as she climbs up into the ring, rushing towards the dead Catra.
Elder Toguro watches She-Ra mourning, mockingly saying to her.
Elder Toguro: Oh don't feel bad about it. I swear you and those two over there would be joining your friend soon.
She-Ra: No!
Elder Toguro: Huh?
Elder Toguro stares up in shock as She-Ra looks down at him, declaring out.
She-Ra: I won't let you take anymore lives. You're fighting me now!
Upon hearing that, Elder Toguro bursts in a fit of shrieking laughter.
Elder Toguro: AH HA HA HA HA HA!!!
His hands morphing into that of razor sharp claws, Elder Toguro sneers.
Elder Toguro: Very well. Since you are in such a hurry to die, I shall grant you your wish.
As both Elder Toguro and She-Ra faces each other, Kota then announces out.
Kota: Oh... it looks like both She-Ra and Elder Toguro have decided to fight. Then without further ado, the fifth match between She-Ra and Elder Toguro shall begin!
Round 5: She-Ra vs Elder Toguro
https://youtu.be/4MCjU-Du3eI
< Cue: The Arena by Lindsey Stirling>
Glimmer: Be careful Adora.
Glimmer says as She-Ra raises up her sword, shielding herself just as Elder Toguro swings his claw at her.
CLANG!!!
As She-Ra is sent skidding back, her sword immediately switches into that of a shield before she throws it, sending it spinning towards Elder Toguro.
Elder Toguro swerved his body downwards, easily dodging the attack before closing in onto her.
Morphing his arms into blades, Elder Toguro swings they wildly at She-Ra, cackling out.
Elder Toguro: AH HA HA HA!!! Come on girl! Don't you want to avenge kitty over there?!
Wrong move.
Angered by his comment, She-Ra throws a straight punch, striking Elder Toguro in the face with a direct hit.
BAM!!!
Elder Toguro: ARGHHHH!!!
The impact of the blow sends Elder Toguro sprawling back before jumping up, growling at her.
Elder Toguro: How dare you?! I swear I will rip you to shreds!
She-Ra picks up her sword, causing it to morph into a whip as she swings it across, cracking it all over Elder Toguro' body.
CRACK!!! SNAP!!! WHACK!!!
Elder Toguro shifts his body before lunging forward, his claw slashing across She-Ra's back.
SLASH!!!
She-Ra: Huarghh!!!
As She-Ra stumbles forward, Elder Toguro thrusts his arm out, screaming.
Elder Toguro: You're mine!
Turning around, She-Ra thrusts her hand out, catching Elder Toguro by his wrist.
Elder Toguro: Huh?
She-Ra swings her arm downward, slamming Elder Toguro hard in the ground.
THOOM!!!
As Elder Toguro gasps out in agony, She-Ra swings get sword across, cutting Elder Toguro across his body.
SLASH!!! SLASH!!! SLASH!!!
Elder Toguro: AAAHHHH!!!
Elder Toguro let's out an agonising scream as he felt the blade cutting through his flesh.
However, as his skin began healing, right at that moment, She-Ra swings her sword up, striking Younger Toguro hard in the face with the flat part of the blade.
CLANK!!!
Elder Toguro: ARGHHHHH!!!
The sheer impact of the blow immediately sends Elder Toguro flying up into the air, heading straight towards the sky.
As Glimmer and Swift Wind watches, Swift Wind remarks.
Swift Wind: Well, there he goes.
Elder Toguro: AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Elder Toguro screams as his body was sent flying across the forest, flying past a fish couple below where the male fish says to his wife.
Fish: Make a wish honey.
Elder Toguro' a body falls before crashing straight into the jungle, disappearing below the trees.
CRASH!!!
Back in the ring, Kota finishes her count down before announcing out.
Kota: Ladies and gentlemen, with Elder Toguro our past the ten count, the winner of the match goes to She-Ra!
KO!
As loud jeers and boos echoes across the ring, She-Ra ignores the audience before turning her head, staring at the opposing team that now only remains Sakyo and Younger Toguro.
With the sight of victory near, Swift Wind happily piped out.
Swift Wind: Oh yeah oh yeah! Just as She-Ra Beats that big guy, I'll simply swoop in there and wallop that guy's butt and victory will be ours!
Sakyo smiles and he said.
Sakyo: That won't be necessary.
Stepping towards Kota, Sakyo takes the microphone from her before announcing out to the audience.
Sakyo: Attention everyone! I have an announcement to make.
She-Ra, Glimmer and Swift Wind listens as Sakyo speaks up.
Sakyo: Now as you all know, my martial arts skills is not that impressive to entertain the audience. And I am a man who gambles so this is my bet. I will bet my life on Toguro to win!
Upon hearing that, everyone's eyes widens in shock.
She-Ra: What?!
Sakyo then turns away and he continues.
Sakyo: So with that, She-Ra is it? Your match with Toguro shall be worth two points. That is if that horse over there agrees to it.
Swift Wind answers.
Swift Wind: Well I have no objections though I'm beginning to wonder why I even turned up anyway.
Sakyo: Then that's settled.
Sakyo then hands the microphone back to Koto as she began explaining the situation to the audience.
Koto: What a strange turn of events folks, it looks like Sakyo has just placed a big bet on the next match, with either Toguro or She-Ra's victory to decide the victor by two points with the Best Friend Squad leading by 3 points and Team Toguro with 2. All it takes is for that two points to determine the winner!
As Sakyo steps back, Younger Toguro questions.
Younger Toguro: Are you really sure you want to make a risky bet like that Sakyo?
Sakyo simply takes out a cigarette, igniting it before letting out a puff of smoke, replying.
Sakyo: It has always been my style to make bets Toguro. And I have faith you might just win this.
Younger Toguro: Heh! Very well.
Younger Toguro grabs onto his coat, tossing it aside before stepping up into the ring.
She-Ra watches with a slight hint of intimidation as Younger Toguro stands over her, towering over the Princess of Power.
Staring down at her, Younger Toguro then says.
Younger Toguro: You have great power within you girl. I shall start with 45%.
Younger Toguro clenches his fist, concentrating as his muscles began to grow and expand, growing larger than before.
She-Ra raises up her sword, pointing it in a combative pose as Koto announces out.
Koto: Ladies and gentlemen! This final round will decide it all! With Toguro and She-Ra facing against each other with a vital 2 points to determine this tournament. And let the final match begin!
Final Round: She-Ra vs Younger Toguro
https://youtu.be/VfKrf5QC0qQ
<Cue: Party Like You by TANAKA ALICE>
She-Ra raises up her sword, dashing forward as she prepares to take on Younger Toguro.
Younger Toguro swings out his leg, forcing She-Ra to duck before throwing her leg out, striking Younger Toguro square in the jaw.
WHAM!!!
As Younger Toguro looks down, She-Ra continues her attack by swinging her sword across, cutting into the demon.
SLASH!!! SLASH!!! SLASH!!!
The demon throws a punch, only for She-Ra to swing her arm out, parrying the blow before throwing a straight punch, striking Toguro in the face.
WHAM!!!
As Younger Toguro is sent screeching across the floor, his mouth twists into a smirk as he says.
Younger Toguro: Not bad. It seems 45% wasn't enough. I'll go with 80%.
Younger Toguro clenches his fist, gritting his teeth as his muscles began to expand, growing much larger than before.
Younger Toguro has reached 80% of power!
She-Ra: Whoa! That guy's huge!
She-Ra could barely have time to comprehend as Younger Toguro rushes forward at supernatural speed, striking She-Ra in the face.
WHAM!!!
She-Ra: WAHHHHH!!!
As She-Ra is sent flying, Younger Toguro rushes forward, grabbing her by the leg before slamming her back first into the ground.
THOOM!!!
She-Ra: AH!!!
She-Ra coughs out in agony as Younger Toguro grabs her by the hair, lifting her up as he throws his free hand out, striking at her repeatedly.
WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!
Younger Toguro: Come on! Is that the best you can do?!
Younger Toguro laughs out as he throws She-Ra over, sending her flying out of the ring.
CRASH!!!
As She-Ra crashes into the wall, Younger Toguro stands back, questioning her.
Younger Toguro: What's wrong? Is 80% too much for you? If so, you're not even worthy to face me at a hundred percent!
Right at that moment, She-Ra pushes herself out of the wall, dusting herself before jumping back into the ring.
Wiping the blood off her lip, She-Ra says to Younger Toguro.
She-Ra: You sure are strong. I'll give you that. But one hundred percent? That's the first I've heard of it.
Younger Toguro: Then show me what you got!
She-Ra: Alright!
Gritting their teeth, both She-Ra and Younger Toguro throws a powerful wave of attacks at each other, the ground shaking with each strike as neither combatants are willing to let the other have the upper hand.
Younger Toguro throws a punch, striking She-Ra across her cheek.
WHAM!!!
She-Ra throws a punch, striking Younger Toguro hard in the stomach.
BAM!!!
She-Ra swings her sword, cutting Younger Toguro downwards.
SLASH!!!
Angered, Younger Toguro throws a punch, sending She-Ra flying with a direct uppercut.
POW!!!
She-Ra simply looks down before slamming her head tiara first down into Younger Toguro.
WHAM!!!
The impact of the blow sends Younger Toguro stumbling backwards, clutching his bleeding forehead.
She-Ra's entire body began glowing brightly as she throws one powerful punch, striking across Younger Toguro's body.
BOOM!!!
The sheer impact of the blow sends Younger Toguro flying, causing him to crash into the side of the arena.
The impact of the blow sends a massive explosion across the arena, causing everyone to scream in shock and terror.
As the explosion dies down, both Glimmer and Swift Wind opens their eyes, what they saw causing their jaws to drop.
There stood She-Ra, standing on the floor, but what shocked everyone was the sight of the shattered remains of the arena beneath her.
Swift Wind remarks out.
Swift Wind: Well, so much for a ring out huh?
Glimmer: Yeah. I don't think ring outs are gonna matter in this match.
She-Ra stood back, staring at the smoke from the distance.
As the dust clears, She-Ra stares down at Younger Toguro, who is lying on the floor unconscious.
She-Ra wonders to herself.
She-Ra: Is it over? Have I won?
However, right at that moment, Younger Toguro's eyes snaps open, causing She-Ra to jump back.
She-Ra watches just as Younger Toguro pushes himself up. Part of his body riddled with scars and his trousers torn.
Younger Toguro's sunglasses were also destroyed by the blow, revealing his cold beady eyes.
Younger Toguro began by praising She-Ra.
Younger Toguro: I'm impressed. To think you would withstand 80% of my power. You are indeed worthy of fighting me in my full power!
She-Ra: Then hurry up and get to it.
She-Ra said.
Younger Toguro clenched his fist, gritting his teeth as he lets out a loud scream.
Younger Toguro: AAAAHHHHHH!!!
She-Ra watches in horror as Younger Toguro's body began expanding, transforming and morphing until he stood tall, his body now completely different than before.
Unlike his previous transformations, Younger Toguro is now grey in color with spikes all over his body.
Younger Toguro has reached one hundred percent of his power!
Horrified, She-Ra backs away in shock just as Younger Toguro rushes forward, questioning out.
Younger Toguro: What's wrong? Terrified? This is my true power!
Younger Toguro slams his knee forward, striking She-Ra hard in the gut.
WHAM!!!
She-Ra: HUARGHHHH!!!
As She-Ra coughs out blood, Younger Toguro throws a massive barrage of punches, striking the Princess of Power all across her body.
WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!
She-Ra: WAAAHHHHH!!!
As She-Ra is sent skidding, she raises up her sword, transforming it into a shield just as Younger Toguro throws one powerful punch.
CLANG!!!
She-Ra grits her teeth, pushing back as Younger Toguro continues attacking her with a continuous barrage of punches.
WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!
Right as Younger Toguro is about to throw the final blow, all of a sudden, a bright light shines around She-Ra's body.
FLASH!!!
Younger Toguro: What?
Younger Toguro widens his eyes in horror as She-Ra swings out her shield, sending him tumbling back.
Clenching his fist, Younger Toguro grits his teeth, concentrating as wisps of spirit energy began flying from the audience towards him.
One by one, several of the apparitions began exploding in a wisp of smoke before flying towards Younger Toguro, allowing him to absorb their energy.
Empowered by the energy absorbed by the audience, Younger Toguro rushes forward, preparing to throw a punch.
As he closed in however, right at that moment, something cuts across Younger Toguro.
SLASH!!!
Younger Toguro stands in his place, motionless before a huge chunk of his arm drops down onto the floor.
Plop!
Younger Toguro: ARGHHHH!!!
Younger Toguro screams out in agony as he backs away, clutching his bleeding arm.

<Cue: Hey Soul Sister by MARILOU, listen from 3:05 to 4:08>
Younger Toguro: ARGHHHH!!!
Screaming out in agony, Younger Toguro backs away as a bright glowing She-Ra steps out, swinging her sword twice across his body.
SLASH!!! SLASH!!!
Blood spills all over the floor as Younger Toguro coughs out blood, looking up just as She-Ra grabs him by the forehead.
She-Ra: It's over.
She-Ra quietly says as a bright light shines all over Younger Toguro's body, causing the demon to let out an agonising scream.
Younger Toguro: AAAAHHHHH!!!
The light erupts in a massive bright explosion, booming all over the arena.
As the light slowly dies down, She-Ra stood quietly as Younger Toguro, now back in his base form collapses onto the floor, now drained of his demonic energy.
Standing as the sole survivor of his team, Sakyo stares at She-Ra in shock and disbelief, muttering to himself.
Sakyo: Well this isn't good.
She-Ra quietly stood still as Kota observes Younger Toguro's body before declaring out.
Kota: With Toguro unable to stand, the winner of the tournament is the Best Friend Squad!
Cheers erupts from the bleachers as both Glimmer and Swift Wind gave each other a high five.
Glimmer: Alright!
Swift Wind: Yeah!
A bright light flashes as She-Ra shrinks from a tall muscular Amazonian woman into a short girl wearing a red and white uniform.
She-Ra has reverted back into Adora.
Adora looks, hugging Glimmer as the Princess shouts.
Glimmer: You did it Adora! You saved our land!
Swift Wind taps Glimmer by the shoulder and he says.
Swift Wind: Uh, hate to ruin the party for you guys but what about him?
Glimmer and Adora looks up, staring at Sakyo from across the ring.
Sakyo claps his hands slowly, congratulating the trio.
Sakyo: Congratulations. It seems you have won.
Stepping up, Swift Wind says to him.
Swift Wind: Look man, I don't really want your life okay. Why don't you just get out of here.
Sakyo: I must admit that I have lost and like a gentleman, I will have to accept it.
Sakyo then pulls out a remote, pressing down onto the button.
Click!
RUMBLE!!!
At that moment, the ground around them began to shake, causing Glimmer to question our.
Glimmer: What's going on?!
Sakyo simply stood there, smoking his cigarette as a feminine voice echoes throughout the arena.
Computer: 5 minutes to self destruct!
Grabbing onto Glimmer's arm, Adora urges the Princess.
Adora: Come on! Let's go!
Wasting no time, Adora, Glimmer, Swift Wind, Kota and the entire audience began making their way towards the exits, leaving just as the walls began crumbling down.
CRASH!!!
Sakyo stood rooted as the debris fall right down onto him, killing him instantly.
CRASH!!!
As the arena crashes down, Adora, Glimmer and Swift Wind stares in shock before Kota steps towards them, saying.
Kota: Uh hey, so now that you have won, don't you want your prize?
Adora: What's the use? You can never give us our friends back?
Adora said.
However, Kota spoke.
Kota: I wouldn't be so negative about it if I were you.
Adora: Huh?
Later

Bow: Hmmm...
Opening his eyes, Bow looks up only to find Glimmer looking down at him.
Bow: Glimmer?
Glimmer: Bow!
Crying tears of happiness, Glimmer wraps her arms around the archer, embracing him tightly.
At the same time, Catra sat up, looking left and right before looking right at Adora.
Catra: Adora?
Adora: Yes. It's me, Catra.
Confused, Catra asks her.
Catra: What's going on? Aren't we...dead?
Adora: You were but it turns out that the community was able to bring the two of you back to life.
Catra: Well, that tournament never ceases to amaze me.
Wrapping her arms around Catra, Adora whispers to her girlfriend.
Adora: I'm so Glad you're okay Catra.
Catra: Yeah. I'm Glad you're safe.
Both Catra and Adora are locked in a hug before they felt something knock into them, causing them to tumble over.
Catra: Hey!
Adora: WHOA!!!
Holding onto each other, the foursome slides down the green slope, chuckling out happily together.
Bow then sat up, facing the group as he asks.
Bow: So, what are we gonna do now?
Adora looks up to the sky, letting out a sigh before answering his question.
Adora: We can bring magic back to the universe. What do you guys say to one more Best Friend Squad road trip?
Glimmer and Bow embraces Adora as the two exclaim out.
Glimmer: I'm in!
Bow: Obviously!
Catra: Of course I'm going with you dummy.
Adora: Then let's do this together.
Adora, Catra, Glimmer and Bow looks up to the sky as a rather melodic song plays out.

America
In the snowing town of America, Diana Prince, cladded in a blue trench coat looks around in awe and happiness at the sight of the people around her.
Laughter fills the air as the children plays in the snow, running past the Christmas decorations.
Tokyo
Stepping out of town, Kurenai Gai simply looks up, donning his hat and coat as he leaves the city, travelling into the unknown
Outside Beach City
Driving out of Beach City is Steven Universe, smiling as he drove through the road, leaving behind his friends and family as his journey into the real world begins

Countryside
Walking along the grassy plains, Violet Evergarden carries her bag, containing her papers and typewriter as she approaches a cottage at the top of the hill.
Knocking at the door, Violet stood back as she bows, greeting just as the door slides open.
Violet: I will run as fast as I can to wherever my customer desires. I am Auto-Memories doll...
As Violet looks up, her eyes widens in shock before switching into that of a smile as she finishes her sentence.
Violet: Violet Evergarden.
KO!

<Cue: Forever In My Dreams by Really Slow Motion>
Status:
Karasu killed Bow
Glimmer killed Karasu
Glimmer defeated Bui
Elder Toguro slaughtered Catra
She-Ra sends Elder Toguro flying out of the ring
She-Ra killed Younger Toguro
Sakyo commits suicide by destroying the entire stadium with it's self-destruct function
Megumi: My God, that was amazing!
Toomi: This certainly was a really close match with both teams having abilities to counter each others.
Sachi: Like Elder Toguro's regenerative powers to heal every attack Catra and She-Ra throws at him, Glimmer's magic to counter Karasu's bombs and match Bui's strength and Karasu's skills and experience to take advantage of Bow's human weaknesses.
Toomi: Though Bow's intelligence that has helped him in forming strategies and outsmarting the Horde certainly gave him the strategic advantage over Karasu, Bow however does not have any superhuman abilities, which makes him vulnerable to Karasu's bombs
Sachi: But the same cannot be said about Glimmer. With her teleportation, spells and strategic thinking being a perfect counter to Karasu's straightforward fighting tactics.
Megumi: So the next match would be Bui vs Glimmer. Being much older and larger, Bui definitely held the size, strength and experience advantage over Glimmer.
Toomi: However, considering how Glimmer has been shown to match against her father Micah who is not only more skilled in magic than she is, Glimmer has the skills to take on someone as headstrong as Bui. And her teleportation skills is more than capable of dodging many of his attacks as well.
Sachi: And with Bui being shown to be unable to take a blow from Hiei which could create a massive crater, this is what gives Glimmer the victory over both Bui and Karasu.
Toomi: The next match between Catra vs Elder Toguro. With Catra's strategic thinking and skills, she is able to hold her own against Elder Toguro, except that she is unable to bypass his healing factor and immortality.
Megumi: But the same cannot be said about She-Ra who could easily send him flying with a single swing since she has displayed the ability to destroy tanks the size of buildings when a blow from Younger Toguro of a similar level of strength did send him flying out of the ring.
Toomi: Which comes to the final round, Younger Toguro vs She-Ra. Now Younger Toguro being older and more experienced certainly gave him the edge over She-Ra, being able to move faster than she could react.
Sachi: Especially when his healing powers has rendered him immune to Yusuke's Spirit Gun which at that time, was capable of destroying large boulders and tear a massive hole in the spectator seats, even destroying the ring underneath him.
Megumi: Which is something that She-Ra has been able to do since the early parts of the show.
Toomi: And scaling over the other Princesses puts She-Ra over Planetary level and by tanking the Heart of Etheria itself and defeating Horde Prime, She-Ra could just as well be capable of destroying an entire universe itself!
Megumi: Holy shit, way beyond what Toguro and Yusuke could have done.
Toomi: And with She-Ra's light magic, all she needs is to drain Toguro of his Demonic energy to secure the win.
Sachi: Which means in other words, having the advantage in strategy, skills, power and strength, this is what gives the Best Friend Squad the victory over Team Toguro.
Megumi: Looks like She-Ra held the Edge of this tournament
Sachi: Hey Toomi, let's announce the winner together
Toomi: Alright. Now on a count of three. 1...2...3...

<Cue: Christmas C'mon by Becky G feat Lindsey Stirling, listen from 3:38 to 3:47>
Sachi, Toomi and Megumi: The winners are The Best Friend Squad
Adora: We can bring magic back to the universe. What do you guys say to one more Best Friend Squad road trip?
Glimmer: I'm in!
Bow: Obviously!
Catra: Of course I'm going with you dummy.
Adora: Then let's do this together.

<Cue: 十七 by S.H.E listen from 4:34 to 5:37>
Toomi: Hello everyone, thank so much for being here with us throughout this year
Megumi: Though with the racial protests, COVID-19, Australian Wildfires, Murder Hornets, the war over the Presidential Election, the death of Chadwick Boseman, the delay of so many movies and all the bad things that has happened, I'm frankly surprised we even made it all the way till the end.
Sachi: Indeed Megumi, 2020 sure is a year to remember.
Toomi: Well the good news for you guys is that due to how short 2020's season of What if Battles is, we will be extending the end of this book to 2021 so that some of your requests will have a chance to be fulfilled.
Megumi: And here's hoping that the year 2021 would be much much better.
Toomi: So once again, thank you for staying with us and for your patience for Laura_Hollis's break to focus on her Military career.
Sachi: If you want more content like this, don't forget to add this in your library and comment if you have any idea for a fight.
Megumi: Until then, next time on What if Battles....
