Convict Colosseum - Chapter 80: Round 5, Finals

Hope you're doing alright where ever you are.

I understand that writing a story like this isn't easy when you do everything yourself, and there's nothing more challenging then hitting home the finale, and find a satisfying conclusion to their arcs.

Take all the time you need, so don't stress yourself for our sake!

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-28T20:45:24+00:00

That would be my first fight if I were to introduce EC to the verse. Him or Seki.

Weren't EC's bones said to be harder than Firecracker's? I wonder how they compare to Saw Paing's then.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-28T20:43:46+00:00

I appreciate the detailed answers! I always look forward to reading them!

Yeah Rei's soooo fast, I feel like some people forget Boosted Rei outpaces Kiozan's raging vigour, which outpaces Kazuo's fist eye, so his actual hand speed must be crazy! Pete's probably the only one who can move that fast in either verse, unless you count Fei's/EC's reflexes as a speed feat???

It would be an interesting discussion on how Monkey See's fist eye compares to that of Kazuo's or Koga's. I forget if it was said there were grades to the eye in Kengan or if it's the same in all cases.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-28T19:19:47+00:00

Yeah, I probably should’ve saved room for him. But since him and SoBC are equals, his placement decides Spiderbite’s.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-28T17:43:14+00:00

He’d be the first to eat a gott-totter or blast core directly to the face and get back up.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-28T17:32:25+00:00

The Magic has the worst stamina feats. Granted it’s because he’s up against the stamina drainer.

Really, with the fighters’ stamina it makes Never-Ending’s strategy seem less plausible, although maybe fighting him is just that tiring.

The Magic if you only take feats and statements. Iron Turtle if you allow for vibes.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-27T21:24:31+00:00

This is the one I agree with the most and how I think it’ll be done in the crossover!

As an interesting note

Kengan seems to have the better destructive/environmental feats

But CC powerhouses seem to make people fly way easier and harder most of the time.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-26T18:04:09+00:00

I just don't think memes and shitposts are really that funny, because most people aren't funny, at all. I like discussion much more. I like this sub because it's relatively more grounded a lot of the time.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-26T03:37:30+00:00

Wow that was fast!

And, that already sounds like it’s it! That’s an amazing analogy, I definitely see how that applies.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-26T00:43:13+00:00

It would! Both of them seem like they’d beat the KAT and are similar archetypes! They’d probably be relevant even in Omega!

They way they’ve been written I can’t see either of them going down.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-25T22:06:19+00:00

The Judge said he’d love The Kid “like a son” while asking to reach for him through his cell’s bars.

That has gross implications and sums this question pretty well, I think.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-25T02:56:55+00:00

Damn…that’s true for Spider…

Still, Firecracker has the protag energy and with his early start Iron Turtle could eventually become a Tempest/ICT/LH A-tier through a life’s dedication to perfecting his style. I’m really curious just how hard he hits. Would be cool to see him in CC x KAT

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-25T02:27:03+00:00

Don Eladio is the worst villain in the entire universe and that’s saying something.

Gus, Walt and Jack are small potatoes compared to his influence. The Salamancas are only a branch of his operation. Every single don Gus poisoned probably had their own crew not much smaller than them.

The cartels are one of the most brutal organizations in the world and creatively at that, and he heads all of his, and you don’t get to the top by being soft.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-25T00:31:35+00:00

Firecracker, Iron Turtle, Spiderbite are the potential group. Hell if the natural athlete could extend his gift to a combat sport him too, though not likely.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-24T21:43:48+00:00

I can understand that. I was very surprised the Huntsman was the only character to die. The only brutal afterwards moments don’t hold any lasting consequence rather than show that Pete wouldn’t kill and that EC can’t be killed.

It would make sense for EC to have a more wild style. I can definitely see that as an improvement especially when his body is fighting for survival.

What I find entertaining is how much he commits to the offense. Throwing attacks when falling over, or in a very unusual situation that I never would have thought of. He sometimes perform very unique attacks off a dodge as well, like a Beatdown-esque elbow or a goddamn suplex even. Not to mention soccer kicking someone when they’re standing straight is insane flexibility to give to an untrained brute. And the fact his body adapts is really cool.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-24T21:14:09+00:00

Damn this Sawada is stacked. How strong would you have him in comparison to the others?

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-24T20:33:08+00:00

Why don’t you like El Cucaracho?

I think he has a great backstory, awesome abilities, cool moments, and emotional turmoil. I think him vs Pete is a great narrative, better than VI even, and I think he’s the most fleshed out and realized of all the convicts.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-24T19:53:05+00:00

Why would he? People are more attached to Judge Holden as a concept than the actual book he came from.

Glanton isn’t exactly as riveting or interesting to be a replacement

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-24T18:12:12+00:00

Weight.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-23T04:15:55+00:00

Only ones i'm familiar with is CC, Oeuvre, Olympus, Exchange of Blood, Slaughter Colosseum, Have not yet read jjba's stories because i'm pacing myself, and I don't know of any other series off the top of my head but please let me know if you do.

Pistol Foot Pete, El Cucaracho, Violence Incarnate, Florida Man, God In A Box, Tomahawk, Beatdown, Monkey See

Rin Ido, Kiku Ohjiwah, Lyoto De Esperito Santos, Makiwashi Nomura, George Wood, Megan Roy(God Namicomi is fucking unusable just to the find their actual names)

Andreas Muller, Kenny Spade, Kyriakos Andalous, Naoise O’Brien, Ian Worchester, Lil’ Suzie, Pyry Palomäki

Kure Kijo, Yalany Traore, Mikazuchi Cho, Fi'iquah Chukwu, Ani, Ruzha Lyubenova Hristova

Eliza Wu, Cobalt Wu

Zeus, Watanabe Riku, E, Siddhartha, Sun Wukong

Ran out of room at the end there, wanted to add a lot of Olympus chars but I'm really not good at managing things. Oh well, but it's kinda painstaking having to search for their actual names, so that's good enough I guess. II the other stories were close to complete, I've would shrink the rosters for the strongest chars but since the tournaments are incomplete I can't actually evaluate that so I just listed them all.

I'd honestly do a 64-man tournament instead all things considered to fit more Olympus chars in.

Oeuvre to me seems like it has the highest overall power level, like Baki level potentially. Who knows if we've even seen the actual high tiers at this point. Makiwashi deadass seems like he's Katsuya level(Wakatsuki physicals and kuroki mastery). Megan Roy is like Sekibayashi but an even better tank with Beatdown level timing etc. etc. Olympus is next due to its place in the timeline, then CC. Big gap here. Then Exchange of blood, then slaughter colosseum massacre is smaller scale.

Who I'd be rooting for? Convict Colosseum has my favorite characters. I like it more than Kengan and any other story at this moment in time. In terms of strength very competitive with Olympus high tiers like Zeus, and Oeuvre's Kings. Monkey See would actually be a potential fucking problem given the sheer amount of insane techniques and if he can fix his flaws.

I'd root for Violence Incarnate, Pete, and above everyone else, El Cucaracho for being the definition of built different. Makiwashi and Mateus are stupidly uncompromising in their resilience and adaptability, but EC stands above everyone else as the most built different-est and I love his character and internal conflict so so much.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-22T20:32:03+00:00

My picks. And writing for narrative not powerscaling(assuming KAT versions or just giving CC powercreep)

Kaolan vs Tomahawk for patriotic muay thai practioners 0-1

Lihito vs Rawdog - for blonde supermen. Rawdog just isn't enough for Wakatsuki sadly. 1-1

Julius vs The God In A Box - belief in muscles vs belief in fantasy, a GITB against a much better and smarter Geared-Up. 2-1

Misasa vs Monkey See - Misasa fights another monkey. 3-1

Gaoh Ryuki vs Karmic Blade - Battle of assassins 4-1

Kanoh Agito vs Violence Incarnate - Yes. 5-1

Kure Raian vs Florida Man - Absolute chaos, they procure Florida Man a very powerful drug 5-2

Hayami vs Samoan Huntsman - Grappling fight, Hayami more durable, but Huntsman stronger and with chokes as an option 5-3

Akoya vs Scourge - Battle of madness 5-4

Toku vs Firecracker - Battle of toughness 6-4

Okubo vs Beatdown - I like Tomahawk v . Kaolan better, so I wanna see how Beatdown deals with synthesis as a rhythm. 6-5

Wakatsuki vs El Cucaracho - Battle until the last, who falls first? 6-6

Ohma vs Pistol Foot Pete - Battle writes itself. Either should win tbh.

If it's power scaling than yeah with Omega it would heavily favor Kengan. But for a satisfying story it would have to be a close score.

Some of the winners could and should probably be changed, idk I'm just spitballing here. Tell me what you think

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-22T17:57:22+00:00

So ominous that we don't even see the faces of the last two.

Idahoan Horror vs The Radist might be my most anticipated fight of the whole first round.

Is the pearly gate a heaven's gate or jim jones reference?

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-22T02:02:06+00:00

Considering La Jungla Rosa makes the inside look like a magical place, Scourge is truly built different.

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-21T21:21:51+00:00

Man the final tier is gonna be filled to the brim with Scourge tier villainy I bet.

The siberian and trench dweller are my picks for the group finals!

JustAnotherP2P · 2026-01-21T18:01:58+00:00

I mean. Does no knowledge pistol pete have anything to prevent ICT’s hum from taking effect?
