Swordswoman Showdown Round 4/Quarterfinal

Kikunojo (One Piece) vs Brienne of Tarth (A Song Of Ice and Fire)

(Better here in a "preferred character" sense, not "who would win in a fight")

Propaganda below cut

Kikunojo

She is a samurai and a retainer for the Kozuki Family, serving as one of the Nine Red Scabbards, a group of samurai that protect the Kozuki family and their country. She's a very skillful samurai, and she and her group managed to delay and hold off the main villain of the arc, (which was an almost insurmountable task for even the main character) and survived the experience despite her horrible injuries; She's canonically and openly trans! And she's gorgeous. And huge... She's 287 cm tall, which for the USAmericans in the audience is 9' 5". She's simply the coolest.

She’s a samurai and fights with a sword; tall trans woman <3

Legendary devoted samurai!; She's 2.87m tall, a time traveler, and not even losing an arm in the middle of the fight stopped her- she had it imediately cauterized and went back to the fight.

She's a lady samurai! Pretty and very skillful with her katana!

She is a samurai who was sent 20 years into the future to avenge the death of her lord; She’s so tall and canonically trans and I love her

She’s a badass samurai who fights for what she believes in and to help people. She is known as Kiku of lingering snow. She’s also canonically trans

She's a time traveling trans samurai, the only woman in a group of 9 legendary samurais; Her arm was chopped off by the biggest baddie so far and she continued fighting, isn't that badass?

One of the strongest samurai in her country; She's a trans icon

#kiku the greatest of all time#🐐#tall and gorgeous samurai lady#who is a trans icon#love that she is so tall that she doesn't fit in the image display#gets recognized as strong by the main character multiple times and proves it by being the most resilient badass of the entire arc#stands up to tyrants and abusers of class privilege#also helps break said main character out of the enemies prison and takes part in a rebellion against the corrupt prison staff#one piece#okiku#kiku

#kiku is canonically trans

Brienne

gets gifted a sword made with the rarest metal ever because she’s THAT good; she’s simply the best

Brienne is one of the top sword users alive in her day. She's descended from a man who's catchphrase was "I'm better with a sword." Better than what? You. Jaime Lannister. Loras Tyrell. Any five given guys at once. She has a fantastic sword that might be magic or cursed and is named Oathkeeper because that's what she does; I love her

Beat like 20 guys in a tournament when she was 19. Was given a magic sword. Won a sword fight against the premier swordsman in the realm. Very swordly; Very tall and strong. Holds her sword in high esteem. Accomplished with other weapons as well!

She's defeated multiple of the top knights in the series in duels. One such knight gifts her the fabergé egg of swords and she uses it to defend orphans and stuff. Got out of a bad betrothal by dueling him and beating his ass so bad she broke multiple bones. Honestly there's so much more she is the swordswoman of all time. to me; She's buff and ugly and 6' 5" and so honorable and kind that she inspires the guy who fucks his sister to yknow. stop doing that. literally gets mauled for the sake of protecting a bunch of orphans (with her sword). also she's 20 she should be at the club ‼️

One of the best sword wielders in Westeros, the author says he would pick her to defend him. Has a cool sword called Oathkeeper. Manages to go up against 7 fighters and take out most of them,. The only true knight; First off, talking about book brienne, they massacred show brienne, the show runners simply didn’t understand what she’s about.“ She had no chance against seven, she knew. No chance, and no choice” brienne had plenty of choice but she couldn’t leave people to die. The chivalric paradigm is rotten and corrupted, but here is Brienne, the one true knight, who isn’t even a actual knight! “knights are for killing”, but here is a knight who risks her life again and again to protect innocents! Bri IS hope, she is the light in the dark that shows that things can be better, things must be better. Fundamentally an idealist: “Winter will never come for the likes of us. Should we die in battle, they will surely sing of us, and it's always summer in the songs. In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining”

I was talking with some friends about Undertale Smash headcanons.

- Frisk mains Kirby. They're okay, but they're also super competitive so they'll just keep re-matching until they win.

- Chara mains Lucas with the Claus skin. They're also really competitive, but they're much better at the game in the first place.

- Undyne mains Lucina because flowery swordswoman. She switches to whichever skin looks most like whatever anime girl she's obsessed with at the moment. Little Mac is her secondary main because sometimes she just wants to punch things.

- Alphys mains female Robin, and she also switches skins to match Undyne. She complains a lot about how she only has four skin options, but she makes it work.

- Mettaton mains Bayonetta. He's pretty good, aside from the fact that he has to taunt every time he gets a KO even if it leaves him open. He also has Marth as a secondary main just for the 'look at me' taunt.

- Sans mains Ness. It started out as a joke, but at this point he's pretty good with him. He uses the red and white skin because it resembles Papyrus.

- Papyrus plays really gimmicky characters like Ice Climbers and Olimar. He yells at Nana and the pikmin all through the match.

- Toriel mains both Zelda and Palutena. She's only started playing recently so she's only okay at the moment, but she's a fast learner and it's only a matter of time before she's the best player in the group.

- Asgore mains Daisy. He didn't really know much about the game, but when he looked at the character roster he saw Daisy and was all 'I like daisies' and stuck with her since. He completely sucks at Smash and knows it, but he enjoys playing it regardless.

- Monster Kid mains Ridley because they thought he was the coolest-looking character. They can't play with a normal controller so Alphys modified a Wii balance board thst they use instead. Their playing is below average in general, but they do way better with the balance board than they should and usually at least get one or two KOs.

- Flowey's waiting for the DLC to drop; once it comes out he's going to main Piranha Plant. In the meantime, he could play Yoshi but it makes him really uncomfortable so he's just watching everyone else play. He is super critical of everyone though, except Monster Kid because he really can't criticize their balance board play. That said, if the only ones playing are Flowey and Chara and/or Frisk, he'll play as Yoshi.

- Blooky also doesn't play; they don't want to be annoying and there are eight people already and they'd just be bothering people by making everyone pass off controllers. But Mettaton will often challenge Shyren and them and in those instances they play as Luigi. They're actually really good, but often throw the match because them winning will make everyone else feel bad.

- Shyren mains Rosalina. She's the weakest of the band, but she's getting better.

- Temmie mains Isabelle. Her skill level doesn't matter; she gets to annoy everyone with the fishing rod so she wins regardless.

- Annoying Dog mains Duck Hunt Dog because of course he does.

- Lesser Dog also mains Duck Hunt Dog; he could probably do better with other characters, but whenever he gets to the character select screen he goes 'DOG!' and picks him out of excitement.

- Greater Dog plays King K. Rool, Doggo plays Fox, and Dogamy and Dogaressa play couples like Mario and Peach or Robin and Chrom.

- Mad Dummy used to main Zelda/Sheik when she was an egg, but after she figured out she's a girl and they were split into different fighters now she just plays Zelda.

- Muffet mains King Dedede, but she doesn't play very often since she's busy with the bake sale.

- Vulkin doesn't main anyone; they'll play whoever is a good matchup for you.

- Tsunderplane plays the same character as you, but n-not because they l-l-like you or anything, idiot!

- Jerry is one of those 'no items, Fox only, Final Destination' players.
