GladiatorWeek2

Day 1: Favorite Characters

1. AZULA - Crown Princess Azula

"...all I ever wanted

was to grow up to be like you."

Azula is and was always my favorite character in ATLA as well as in fanfics. Should be crystal clear already=). She is even higher than the first place.

Something I really enjoy reading in Gladiator is, that she brings up people's failures and throws it in an elegantly way straight into their faces, such as with Iroh and Zhao.=D And of course when she brings up embarrassing stuff Sokka said or did in his most defensless moments. How she thinks of herself shamless when she is with him sometimes and how much she loves him. So much that she even considered leaving her Nation in case her dad finds out.

I felt very bad for her throughout the whole part 1. When her heart was broken, when she got strong but then her Gladiator destroyed that with one kiss, when she longed to be with the man she loves but her circumstances would never allow it and what made me cry was her Flashback. How she ran away from her mother, how her cousin loved her but could never fullfill his promise and how her father didn't hug her when she cried*_*. This girl makes me emotional. And I adore her strength despite everything. That she still has an ear to listen, like her first discussion with Sokka.

She may have never endured what Slaves endured, but her emotional struggles given her with her status as Crown Princess is hard. Her nation on one side, her lover on the other. Her father on one side, but the innocence suffering people on the other. Some days I just wish she would ally with her uncle, the White Lotus and the Water Tribes... but then I think that be would not a solution right now.

Her relationship with her guards and friends is well portrayed.

2. Rui Shi & Royal Guards

It was true that he was meant to give his life for her if need be, but surely he had always imagined himself dying for her in a battlefield, or saving her life from assassins… dying because of Azula's clandestine relationship surely was the most shameful and least honorable possibility of all. 

"We did adjust to being the Princess's guards quickly enough, after all" "

Rui Shi is AMAZING!! He is a very very good character, very handsome and I just love him. Although Gladiator is about Azula & Sokka, I cannot imagine the story without this precious guy. His personality, his true love for Song, his dedication to his Job and most of all: his loyality and his relationship with his Princess Azula. I just can't forget his "I could have lost my Princess" quote=D.

At the beginning I liked their little discussions when Azula didn't want to be protected and he complained all the time that she doesn't let him do his job. Over 100 chapters later he brings two unknown people to her at ease saying "...you'd surely be able to kill them first" in case they try to harm her. Yeah poor guy gave up and got tired.=D The way he protects her (wants to) from everything that could hurt her and he is not only dedicated because it his job, he shows also emotional attachment towards her. And this is something I love about him.

The panic he had in the Attack of the White Lotus arc was gold, really.

His talk when they were becoming Imperial Guards and he didn't obey and attacked Azula was one of my favorites.

As for the other Guards. Similar to Rui Shi, they are not always strict and just do their Job all the time, but also joke around and seem to really like Azula, as the Story progresses. They are very good characters. Of course this is also because of Azula herself. And she seems to like them too and their relationship is just so wonderful.

As for my favorite Guards, well other than Rui Shi I definetely choose Fei Li. His energy is so well written. He also looks handsome. Taro and Tai Wei are the most famous ones out of the rest I'd say. So I like really all of them.

3. Sokka

"You're my top priority,

and you always will be."

Sokka, well Sokka is kinda different. I can say surely that Azula and Rui Shi are my favorites all along the Story, but not for Sokka. My favorite Sokka is in the Introduction Arc and then in Part 2. Though, also at the end of Part 1.

This boy has some moments where I just like to throw a chair straight into his face... really, I am not denying it. Sometimes I really "hate" him. And when I take time and think, many of those moments are in Part 1. Especially when he didn't kiss Azula and slept next to her when she needed it*_*. But then in other moments he has these cute charming sides and broken moments what makes me love him.

Because with Part 2, he kinda becomes a different guy. I mean of course he had a horrible life and considering that he still made quick process, but still. With the start of Part 2, he becomes a better man maybe??

What I liked about him in the beginning was his whole attitude and conversations with Azula. In Part 2 I like it how he is sure what he wants and needs. And this has most likely something to do with them finally giving in. He loves Azula so beautifully, that I find the most amazing. She is his priority and always in his thoughts. Of course it is also great how he wants to help people altogether. But his special feelings and need of protecting for his most important people like Azula and his family is most amazing so far. I like him waaayyyyyy more in Part 2 I think.

4. Zuko

"I came back after ten years at sea and there

was no hugging involved whatsoever."

Zuko is good in your story. I mean many people know how I felt about him in canon...(tbh, I do not even want to think about it right now-_-). But so far he is pretty good. He has a hard life too. Ten years at sea, no parents, bad relationship with his sister and lost hopes...

When he met Mai... I think it was one of the saddest and emotional moments. But he still gets over it, although it must be very hard to see the person you love like that upon returning. The moment he thinks everything is okay, he lands in the South Pole, finds out his is going to be father, meets his life goal and has to spent a long time away from his "wife" as a prisoner. But I hope he will be happy. I have no idea what is coming for him in the future to be honest. Let's see it.

What I love the most is when HE started making steps towards fixing his relationship with his sister.💙 This is something I always wanted and I hope it will get better.

Zuko especially is very good in Gladiator and Bryke should see how character development really works!!

5. Seyary, you are really amazing with writing the side characters from ATLA and your wonderful OC's. Reaaalllyyyyy.

No particular order

I think maybe I should put Song also next to Rui Shi on the 2nd place?? This girl is so cute but also very ... I cannot find the right word, but I love her feelings about Sokkla. She also seems like a shipper to me?? Fighting on her own ways for their relationship. Song is very important.

I like Mai and Ty Lee, but Mai more. Her unexpected comments are bomb.

Okay, Haru and Ruon Jian are good too although we didn't see much of Ruon Jian=D. I wonder if he is still in touch with Chan??

Jet

I like Jet in canon and was happy that we saw more of him here. His interaction with Azula was very amusing and interesting, since he is one of those character I always wanted an Azula interaction with.

General Tiang

I am very curious about what way this guy will go. He seems to be more like an "Azula-Fan" but I might be wrong. His Story is such a good idea, I liked it. His wife and his nice personality make him very likable. And when that unexpected talk came with Iroh... it surprised me because I never thought he was Lu Ten's friend. A touching idea. We didn't see much of him but I like him. Everyone who cares about and respects Azula is sympathetic to me.

Zhao and Ozai ... ahhh these two. I think it is clear that I reaaallyyy like interactions with them together with Azula. They are just very cool... though in the Slave Riot Arc they kinda turn out not so cool. I would say I think Ozai is 50/50. He also has some nice moments, but then he acts pretty shitty. But then he tries to be better than his own father and listens to Azula and tries to support her. As for Zhao, he is in my Top 5 favorite characters list definetely. But Ozai too somehow... The fifth maybe?? (Tbh, the order from 3rd - 5th is very difficult). I totally like how Seyary portrays him. He helps Azula, is polite to Sokka as well as to Toph, has a daughter he seems to care for, a very interesting portrayal of his character. I like it when he is next to Azula and actually helps and respects her as well as her Partnership with her Gladiator. But then he hides that Spirit Oasis Information from his best friend and his daughter... I guess I still like him except that Slave Riot chapter... let's also see here what he is up to in the future... Again, I would love it if he allies with Azula in the future and also wants to make the world a better place, but I am not sure about him. I am sure about Ozai, but not with him.

Lu Ten

"I'll miss you too,

my wonderful dragon lady."

Okay, I love Lu Ten. My favorite part to read are those flasbacks with Azula and him that produced tears in my eyes. All those flasbacks. I just thought he deserves to be on my list. He loved Azula and he was very important for her too. Lu Ten's parts are beautiful and sad. And I love that combination.

Gladiator Week 2, Day 5

Outfits and Artworks you like the most

I really like both of Azula’s, and Sokka’s armours. I rarely visualize them in anything else, though I also loved their outfits as they were undercover in the Earth Kingdom in the chase of Jeong Jeong arc. Rui Shi’s outfit in that one was great too.

Another outfit I really like is Toph’s. It’s not very different from her outfit in ATLA, but it just fits her so well. Her armour for her Slate fight was amazing as well.

@seyaryminamoto

​‘s has created so many great artworks about Gladiator and I have a lot of favourites among them. I love all the 5th anniversary artworks for making the start reading the story. My favourite of the more recent ones is this one:

I love Azula’s fierce expression and the way Sokka looks at her!

Most important tags:

Sokkla & GladiatorWeek2

[kigozula]

I wanted to ask something:

In 2018 we've made a Gladiator Week. Are there people who would like to have one again this year?? To give people who couldn't/didn't take part a chance and because some favorites might change over time. Want to know if and how many people would like that.

Waiting for part 2 to be done seems so far away to wait for this. (Could make something similar too ofc)

[kigozula]

GladiatorWeek2:

Day 7: Something you look forward to and something you wish(ed) would happen + anything you want to add or say^^

Well, I was always looking forward to Zhaozula. Wedding, Marriage... and all that good stuff. Since the second Reviews Party to be exact='). I am curious about how things will go. Although my enthuisasm subsided.

I also can't wait to see Azula's part in Team Avatar. Like, how she will be friends with them. How will they communicate?? I sense pretty funny things. Especially with Aang^^. Will she kinda join them??

Aaannnd, I am very curious to see something I've always wished to see in ATLA: Azula and Zukos's relationship*_*. Their way through their life as Siblings and as Aunt&Uncle to their Nieces&Nephews. This will be cute to see. Their work for their Nation too. And them working/fighting side by side together for something big.

Of course another thing I am waiting for since the beginning: Azula and Sokka's reunion after everything. Like after they part way's, the first time they meet again. (I can't sadly follow Seyary's advice, because I can't stash hankies for their "parting way's" moment... a bad idea in the current world situation=D)

I also look forward for Sokkla Wedding. Like, will they have two?? Aunt Wu said there will be a Water Tribe one already.

Will we see Sokkla being openly together without hiding?? Then their married life for a time?? They deserve it. And then years later Azula's pregnancy and labor??

Azula and her future father-in-law Hakoda*_*. I definetely wait for this for a long time as well...

Uhh, and the Cave of two Lovers. Yepp, I LOVE that Artwork and can't wait for that Chapter.

What will happen to Anou?? And Seethus?? And Rei?? What will happen to everyone?? Yeah, lots of lots of questions... There might still be many little things I look forward to, but these are currently the most relevant ones I can think of.

Okayyyy, now this part is not so easy to answer for me. Because I will keep some stuff for myself. And for some other stuff I will hope, wait and see. Here's what I can tell you:

I wonder how it would have been if Lu Ten and Kya would live. Though I think if Lu Ten would be alive the Story could go very different ways.

Re-reading made me notice that I should leave certain chapters out completely. Don't need bad memories now. Want to erase some arcs out of my mind. I was also on the party who wishes Sokka wouldn't have done what he did. Especially not with her, but with ... Suki or Hina or no one at all. Can't believe he really went that far... I've just always had a strong distate towards this character, in canon and here. I hope she won't ever show up. Sorry for my honesty, but yeah, it is the truth. It's a bigger shock when you are used to part 2 0_o.

I also would have liked to see more Jet and Chan.

I also thought about how interesting it would have been if Azula would've ended up engaged. Or that she could've married an OC who is Zhao's son instead of Zhao??

Now to what I wish, I really like Azula's Royal Guards and hope they will survive and keep being by her side (being her friends) her. I hope Azula and Rui Shi are going to be happy and friends forever*_*.

I also wish to see some more good Zhao-Azula-Ozai Trio moments. And especially for Zhao to somehow stay an ally a friend for Azula at the end. But Azula & Zhao/Ozai are too complicated to have ideas or wishes ...

Seeing Ozai's vulnerable sides would be very interesting too. His love for Ursa and his final feelings for his daughter. Urzai-Feels.

Azula and Sokka really should go swimming. Back then I thought they would swim in Ember Island=D. And don't ask my why but I like the idea of Azula not being able to swim properly and someone teaching her. Or a girls swimming day together with Mai and Ty Lee. Plus babysitting Yuudai. Yes, she is not good with children but I would like to see her spending time with Yuudai or Zuzu's children.

I'd also like to see more Azula and Jet interactions. There are so many people I wanted Azula to interact with in ATLA. Some of them happened though. Maybe Azula and Ursa too?? Mainly, I am mostly looking forward to everything including our amazing Princess.^^

I would celebrate it if unexpected people join and share Azula's "pursuit goal" and fight alongside her. Like Anou and Chan or Piandao...etc.

I just hope no matter what she will find happiness and comfort. And all in all I wish for Azula to not get hurt (emotionally & physically) and be let down from the ones she loves. The most horrible thing to happen would be if her brother and Sokka would go against her, turn their backs or give up on her. I can't even imagine that.

I think I should stop now. =) So much for the topic "Something ..."

Gladiator Week 2, Day 2

Favourite Gladiator, Sponsor & Fight

Gladiator

My favourite gladiator lately was definitely Ruan. I liked how he instantly got along with Sokka in the Brawl and was willing to help him. Their team work in the Brawl was also a lot of fun. The Mad Alchemist and Dark Rook are also fascinating new characters.

Sponsor

Goro just endeared himself to me so much that he takes this spot as well. There’s been no other sponsor like him, except for Azula and a few others to some extent, but he has a special attitude towards competing in the League that I really like.

Fight

My favourite fight is kind of unusual. Waterbending is my absolute favourite, and I’m convinced none of the other bending arts can even come close to how dangerous it can be if used to it’s full potential. Sokka’s fight with the Stingray is the first time I’ve ever seen waterbending being written as terrifying as it should be, with all its flexibility and unlimited possibilities.

[comentter]

Gladiator Week 2, Day 1

Favourite characters:

I’ll leave out Sokka and Azula, and focus on some side characters for this one since I took them last year.

Kino

Kino added such a fun, unexpected element to the South Pole story and shook up the dynamic between Aang and Katara. I really like his relationship with Zuko and how both of them became a part of the village. I’m very much looking forward to what lies in his future ;)  @seyaryminamoto and me also have a hilarious inside joke about him that always makes me laugh.

Goro

This one is very new, but I loved Goro the second he first appeared. It’s a bit difficult to explain why I like him so much, but the wise, old, well-meaning scientist with a love for the stars and the night sky is a great archetype to me. His unwavering loyalty to his gladiator is an amazing trait too.

Seethus

Seethus’ abilities are so fascinating to me. New interesting bending possibilities are always a weak spot. It was the same when the ‘Azula can bend through Sokka’ moment happened. It opened up so many new avenues for mind-blowing stuff to happen. But anyways, that’s not a character. There was a post about Seethus recently that @seyaryminamoto answered with details about his backstory and now I find myself thinking what a story with Seethus as a main character could look like...

White Lotus generals: Jeong Jeong, Piandao, etc.

This isn’t really a favourite character, but I’m super curious about the White Lotus leadership in Gladiator and I can’t wait to see more of them in the future. I put Jeong Jeong here because he really intrigued me when he had his standoff with Sokka in chapter 126, and Piandao because I very much look forward to his next meeting with Sokka. They’d have a lot to talk about!

[comentter]

Gladiator Week 2, Day 3

Favourite Relationships/Friendships:

Azula & Goro

I feel like I’m beating a dead horse, but these two were so great together. Their talk at the sponsor meeting when Azula followed him away from the main group is one of my favourite scenes in recent chapters.

Sokka & Zhao

Their unexpected, great conversations in Part 2 have been fascinating and I especially liked their talk about Sokka’s dark side after the Brawl.

Ty Lee/Haru

I really liked their development from only superficially close to distant because of misunderstandings to engaged after everyhing that happened in the Haru’s Family arc. The changes they went through in that arc were amazing.

Kino & ...

Someone Kino will meet later on that I very much look forward to memeing about ;)

[comentter]

Gladiator Week 2, Day 6

Best Sokkla Moment and Kiss

One of my favourite kisses has always been their first kiss, after the fight vs. Suki. It was really intense and unexpected and set up SO many things afterwards. xD Another favourite has to be the one on the roof on Piandao’s mansion that Rui Shi witnesses. The kiss I like most though is the one after Azula and Sokka make up in the Rough Rhinos arc and then decide that they can’t act on their feelings. They’re flying on Xin Long and Sokka is asleep. Somehow the good and bad feelings in that moment do it for me.

Best moment is harder to choose since there are so many great ones...

One I really like is when Azula is holding her big speech in the Fire Festival arc and Sokka is standing on the side as a guard and is just... really proud of her. xD It was THE showcase of her development to the point where she would even stand up against Ozai to do what’s right.

[comentter]

Gladiator Week 2, Day 4

Arc(s), Quote(s) & Moment(s) you like the most in Part 1 & 2

My favourite arc in Part 1 is the Rough Rhinos arc. It shook everything up so much. Azula and Sokka’s relationship and its development in that arc are incredibly captivating. I loved their time in the forest and finding Xin Long. The runner-up for Part 1 would be the Pairs Tournament, so many fun and touching scenes...

My favourite arc in Part 2 is The chase of Jeong Jeong arc because it has my favourite 2 chapters in the whole story, 126/127. Chapter 126 and the beginning of 127 are basically a microcosmos of everything I love about Gladiator: Sokkla fluff at the beginning, a tense chase through the woods with Rui Shi, an awesome fight scene, Sokka delivering an incredible speech and the heartbreaking scene where he almost dies.

A close second in Part 2 is the Festival arc because of the remote bending incident, Azula’s speech, Sokka dressing up as one of her guards and the scene with Ozai in the temple.

I’m really bad at remembering quotes and I might have said Sokka’s turtle/hawk anecdote in Ch. 39 or what they say to each other in Ch. 127 as Sokka is bleeding out, but I’ll stick to something short that really stuck with me:

Have fun on your date.

There’s so many amazing moments to share here, so I’ll just list the first 3 that come to mind for each arc:

Part 1:

Azula and Sokka’s fight at the South Pole. I just knew this would be a fun ride then :)

The boat ride to the Slate. The TENSION

Azula running into June outside of Ba Sing Se. This scene excited and terrified me at the same time

Part 2:

The hot springs trip. Very hot, very sweet!

Toph discovering metal bending. An incredibly awesome moment!

Azula sitting next to Sokka’s bed as he recovers from his nearly mortal injury. Such a heartwrenching sequence...

[kigozula]

GladiatorWeek2

Day 3: Favorite Relationships/Friendships

Mai & Azula/Zuko

"You both deserve happiness, Zuko.

You and Azula."

I really like Mai. She has a simple yet wonderful family. A wonderful relationship with her husband from what I saw so far. And her relationship with our broken Siblings is very good. I kinda feel Mai knows Azula and Zuko better in canon than Ty Lee and is also closer to them.

She earns respect from them, it is seen from the way they treat her. I like it how both of them go to her for advice. She gives pretty good advice after all. And I want to thank her, or thank Seyary to be precise, for writing everything she said to Zuko when he went for advice about his relationship with Azula. For letting her say everything I wanted someone to say to Zuko. It felt like a little "revenge" moment. She brought everything to the point. She explained both of their attitudes and problems. And (this whole conversation is one of my favorites moments) I liked it how directly she went to the point with asking if he would kill his sister. This might have awoken the emotions in him for her. I guess Azula needs a talk about it too.

I also liked her advice for Azula at the end of part 1. Mai is a very nice character. And may she always be the-older-sister-Azula-&-Zuko-need.

Azula & Rui Shi

"I would like to ask you not to be so dramatic in your flight displays, Princess" said Rui Shi, a grimace on his face "For a moment there…"

"You had thought I would drop to my death?" Azula asked, with a weak smirk "You're not getting rid of me that easily, I'm afraid"

Are words even needed here?? Rui Shi is SO IMPORTANT. And I like his character, but I LOVE his role in Azula's life. He cares about her and would make sacrifices for her. Loyal, nice, loving and caring. He had uneasy times, but still helped Azula with her relationship. I am really happy Azula has him and I hope their friendship never dies. I can't find more words, theirs is one of my favorite relationships/friendships.

Song & Rui Shi

"You're a very determined and loyal man"

Did Rui Shi understand she had grown to like him that much over time? 

Well, they are cute and special. Why?? Because their feelings developed when they got to know each other. It wasn't an immidiate attraction and they didn't seem to be thinking of love or wanting a relationship. They fell for each other and these things won importance because of each other. And only for each other. I mean as far as I understood, both of them are each others firsts and onlys in almost everything. First love interest and all. This is very precious and I adore that. Most likely the best love relationship of all even?? Their feelings are clear and they value each other. I like both of them very much and again a very good idea to make Song an important character and put her together with out favorite OC. Very talented Seyary, as always.

Azula & Zuko

"S-she… she told you about the knife?" Zuko asked, frowning "Why would she do that?"

"Well, why wouldn't she?" said Sokka, blinking blankly and Zuko glared at him.

"Maybe because that knife was something important for both her and me" said Zuko

I really felt a little sad here='(. It was something special between them. As I said, I really like Zuko in Gladiator and I want him and Azula be happy and to get along fine.

At the moment I do not like their relationship but there is still positive progress. Who seems meaner and who seems to care more?? And this is kinda the problem, it is hard to say who cares more or at all. I am looking forward to what will happen to their relationship and hope for love. Doesn't mean they can't joke or annoy each other, but it means they should show they care, love and miss.

And I looovvee their flight and conversation on Xin Long.♥️

Azula & Zhao + Sokka

"Do your worst."

I like their partnership. Their work together and Zhao giving her help and trying to make up for his mistakes. I think they have a pretty fine partnership when they work together so far. They are nice to read when they interact. Does seem to me like he respects her and wouldn't want any harm coming to her.

Azula & Lu Ten

"I miss you so much, Lu Ten."

Just read those flasbacks and read the chapters where she visits him...*_*

Azula & Iroh + Toph

"Ah, it is but art, Azula. No matter how we try, it is impossible to grasp why it is how it is."

Very funny things can happen when these two work together. I liked reading those chapters. And I like it how Iroh gave her advice about the ceremony. Add Toph's comments and everything is even funnier. Azula is just a wonderful girl. Her annoyed attitude towards him almost never fails to put a smile on my face.

Of course after her declaration as Crown Princess, everything flows down the stream. But at least Iroh is still better than in canon in my eyes.

Others

Azula, Mai and Ty Lee's friendship is fantastic. Plus their bond with Zuko. I mean they know each other since their childhood, have a bond and memories.

I also like it when all of them come together. "Azula's Friends". All of them, She, Sokka, Zuko, Mai, Haru, Ruon Jian, Ty Lee maybe add Rui Shi and Song too. Wonderful. Oh my, imagine if Aang and Katara would join them. Azula and Sokka being pretty friendly with each other and Zuko having to sit and watch alongside Katara (these four, really). And if Jet would join as well as Toph... well, I can't even begin to imagine all the conversations, conflicts and all the fun.=DD It is already funny when it is only Azula, Sokka, Zuko, Haru, Ty Lee and Mai. All of them together would go crazy...

[comentter]

Gladiator Week 2, Day 7

Something you look forward to and something you wish(ed) would happen + anything you want to add or say^^

There’s so much I look forward to! I’m hyped to read the current arc soon which I haven’t started yet and I’ve been excited for some of the next few arcs, namely Whale Tail and Return to Shu Jing for literal years by now, feels like.

What I look forward to the most though is the entirety of Part 3 because I’m pretty sure it will be my favourite part of the whole story. I’m sure it will be very dark and gruesome in some parts, but knowing that there will be payoff at the end makes me able to “enjoy” the bad things happening to our protagonists. It will make the ending all the more satisfying. I know a few things that will happen which just makes it more exciting to speculate about the rest.

My ultimate wish for something to be in Gladiator is bloodbending! It’s the most OP ability there is and it makes perfect sense that it is (which is rare, I feel like). I’d really love to see Azula’s reaction to it. I’m eager to see more waterbending in general, but I’m sure that will happen once Katara, Aang and the White Lotus play a bigger role.

Otherwise, maybe for spirits to play some kind of role since I feel like they are an important part of the world, though I have no idea what it would be, especially not while the story remains centered in the Fire Nation.

Thanks to @kigozula for organizing this week and, of course, thanks to @seyaryminamoto for writing this terrific story and sharing it with us! :D

[kigozula]

Would everyone be okay if Gladiator Week takes place from 30th March - 5th April?? 7 Days, Monday - Sunday??

Or do you want it later?? And if someone thinks it would be to short, I also thought about making Gladiator-Month-Weekends, so that we use a whole month and make the themes only on weekends?? This way we would even have 8 themes instead of 7??^^ Or maybe even more. And everyone would have more time for ideas and preparations as well as looking at everyone else's posts. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Going to post the themes within the next 1-3 day(s)

[kigozula]

GladiatorWeek2

Day 2: Favorite Gladiator, Sponsor & Fight

1. Gladiator

The Blue Wolf for sure. We see how he fights and treats his rivals. He takes his job as Azula's Gladiator seriously and fights for her. Her goals become his goals.

Other likable Gladiators are The Blind Bandit and The Millenium Dragon, he us such a nice guy really. The Savage Hook is interesting even when he is not really himself while fighting. The Sentinel Knight was also friendly.

2. Sponsor

Well, Azula is the best Sponsor. She knows how this business works and puts big efforts in it. She is very fair -> Red-Striped Hornet for example.

Other sponsors I find nice are Goro and Kori. But Anou too. They treat their Gladiators good and I like that.

Additions: Chan and Zhao. I just like these too.^^

3. Fight

Probably the very first Gladiator Fight:

The Blue Wolf vs. The Spawn of the Volcano

It was very nice. The Gladiators as well as the Sponsors. When no one knew The Blue Wolf and the arena went silent with his entrance.

The Blue Wolf vs. The Blind Bandit was also very good with all the power and the emotions.

The Blue Wolf "against" The Red-Striped Hornet was funny to read too. The most unique fight most likely. The aftermath was even funnier.^^

I also like re-reading the Gladiator Brawl. It was the most interesting and exciting one for me. Scavanger Hunt is also on the list.

[kigozula]

#GladiatorWeek2 starts!!

[kigozula]

Gladiator Week 2 is slowly coming to an end. Anyone who still wants to take part is free to do so.

Thank you for @comentter for taking part as well. Enjoyed reading your posts=).

Thank you for everyone who read and liked our posts.

And thanks to Seyary for letting me do this, for your reblogs and tags=).

For me, it was very important to be honest with my posts and opinions. I also realized, in this week as well as while re-reading, how some views and opinions can change over the years. I mean, I was around 18 when I started reading and six years have past since then.

I enjoyed this week as much as I did the last time. Who knows, maybe one day we can do something similar again^^.

Thank you for keeping up with my "I also's, I would's..."etc.;) I wrote too much...
