Ranma Saotome enters Corrida Colosseum

[Chris Lang]

Ranma Saotome has entered one of the battle royals in Corrida Colloseum (introduced in the One Piece Dressrosa arc). This means he will be facing all sorts of skilled opponents of various different fighting styles, in a fighting area surrounded by water (with fighting fish just in case people wanted to chicken out - no one gets out of this arena without SOME sort of fight).

Ranma has all the skills and abilities of the later Ranma 1/2 manga/anime at his disposal, as well as his ability to improvise and adapt to situations. Will all that be enough to emerge the winner against the likes of Blue Gilly, Chinjao, Abdullah and Jeet, Hajrudin the Elbaf giant, and "Destruction Cannon" Ideo (to name a few)?

Ooh this could be interesting.

Block A means getting past Burgess without other heavy weights to distract him, which I am not sure is feasible for him.

Block B is the army of second stringers and the guy with the mean punch, plus Bellamy and Barto. Maybe, but by no means guaranteed.

It doesn't need saying, but Ranma isn't making it past either Luffy or Chinjao, so Block C is a no go.

Block D is more second stringers, Rebecca and Cavendish. Now Cavendish can be impressive, but if Rebecca could do his sleepwalking attacks, so can Ranma.

Best odds of making it to the finals in D. Odds of winning the final, 0.0%.

as funny as it would be to see Ranma literally tie Luffy into a bunch of knots -- even Luffy might be amused if it weren't a fight -- there's just no way he could actually do it at this point.

Of course, one must keep in mind that the guy with the mean punch ('Fighting King' Elizabello) can only do the fully-powered King Punch once an hour, and tends to rely a lot on his tactician Dagama. Of course Bartolomeo has his 'barrier' ability, which is tough to get past but VERY effective when used at the right moments.

Anyway, if this Ranma has the skills he has in the later portions of the manga or anime, he'll have the ki attacks and the Hiryu Shoten Ha, among other moves. The Hiryu Shoten Ha in particular could score him a number of eliminations as the wind could cause a lot of people to be knocked out of the ring. Now, who among the fighters would have a good counter or resistance to it if it were used?
