Geralt of Rivia (Netflix) versus Shin of the Hi Shin Unit (Kingdom)

[Nik Hasta]

A duel between an old man with a sword versus a young man with a sword.

This is Netflix Geralt with his regular sword and armour loadout. He has a few potions on his person.

This is current Shin as of the start of the current arc, in armour but armed only with his normal sword rather than Ouki's glaive.

The battle takes place in the throne room of the Kingdom Qin but it is deserted.

For the purposes of this thread, Shin is considered too strong willed to be swayed by Geralt's mind magic. All other forms of his magic are in play.

Who wins this duel between practical hard-bitten swordsmen?

hmmmm

****.

that is all.

I'm pretty solid on Geralt's stuff. What can you tell me about Shin?

That it was a Shin to pit him against the Witcher.

Shince you think you're so clever, why don't you Rivial your reasoning

I'd have to ask Apple's Ciri to make sense of what you've said here.

Gonna just try and breeze by your punning.

Shin is an eighteen-ish year old Chinese military commander. He's been fighting with a sword, successfully, since he was about ten.

In terms of strength, he's strong enough that him clashing blades with an opponent broke the legs of the horse his opponent was sitting on. He's got a bunch of feats of carving his way through groups of armoured opponents faster than they can reasonably fight back, taking out squads of assassins alone and the like.

I can get more feats but I'm going out tonight so it might need to wait until tomorrow.

Okay, a more in depth look at Shin.

His strength is a little tough to figure out because he's doesn't really lift or punch stuff that often for that matter. Some indications of how physically strong he is are as follows:

- When striking an opponent on horseback with an overhead slash, Shin hits him with such force that the horse his opponent is sitting on's legs break.
- Shin striking at an opponent hit with such force that his opponent was sent flying at least two metres and she in turn sent three armoured men flying as well.
- Once he starts using his glaive, he is capable of sending multiple armoured opponents flying into the air and breaking shield lines by himself.

In terms of speed, there's a really nice one:

- Shin's friend gets wounded really badly and falls to his knees on his way to the ground. In the time it takes him to fall from his knees to the floor. Shin bisects a man, beheads another two, kills a further six men who were surrounding his friend and still manages to catch his head before he hits the ground. All his opponents were in armour but they may as well have been wearing cheese for all the difference it made.

And in terms of skill, Shin is kind of a prodigy. He's primarily self taught but he went from struggling against a single assassin at the age of about 11, to being able to slaughter a group of 9 assassins by himself a little over a year later. He's fought against some of the best swordsman in the lands and managed to win. He is quite the skillful murder boy.

Any thoughts on the match?

With that kind of resume i'd give it to Shin personally. Geralt is tough, but he isnt near as fast or strong from what i've seen.
