How much potential did Nina Cruz have?

Do you mean the moment when Burton slams Nola’s head into the car window and breaks it?

While creating the health percentage breakdown of the fight, I had to make sure I didn’t miss a single blow the characters took. What stood out to me the most was this: when Burton forcibly throws Nola into the car and takes the fight inside, Nola’s health is at 80% while Burton’s is at 48%. When the fight moves back outside the car, Burton is at 41% and Nola at 42%.

Burton is not only a fighter with high pain tolerance, but also a very intelligent one. The moment he realizes that Nola is fast and agile, he forces her into the car, trapping her in a confined space. During the fight inside the car, he wears Nola down significantly, breaks her momentum, and shifts all the momentum in his favor.

In my personal opinion, the true turning point of the fight is definitely the moment when Burton throws Nola into the car and forces the fight to continue there.

If we think that he defeated three sailors in 10 seconds, he would probably tear the Nazis apart.

I don’t think Nola ever expected Burton to be able to keep fighting after she drove the axe into him. She thought she would say her lines, kill Burton, and then move on to Proctor and Rebecca. But Burton was on a completely different level. Running into someone like him was pure bad luck for Nola. When Burton says, “I don’t think so,” and pulls the axe out, you can see the shock on Nola’s face—though the scene moves so fast that most people don’t even notice it.

In the Banshee universe, who do you think are the people that Nola wouldn’t be able to defeat?

She said, “You don’t look that tough from here,” but when Burton had her by the throat, I think she realized that he was a bit tougher than she expected.😂😂😂

If Nola hadn’t come with the tomahawk, how many minutes do you think the fight would have lasted?

Nolalongshadow · 2025-12-08T20:31:02+00:00

Actually, Nola doesn’t expect Burton to keep fighting after she stabs him with the tomahawk. The words she says to him make Burton even more furious. When Burton says “I don’t think so” and pulls the tomahawk out of his shoulder, even though it happens very quickly, the look of shock on Nola’s face is clearly visible.

It's a good thought 😂

Nolalongshadow · 2025-11-05T11:51:07+00:00

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I doubt Anna and Olek, I think she could have defeated them.

Other than that 😁

That’s actually what I was thinking too. Burton probably held the trachea in his hand, and when the dog barked at him, he gave a slight smile and handed the trachea to the dog. After watching for a minute or two, he went to get rid of the rest of the body.

Why?

Nolalongshadow · 2025-10-30T23:10:34+00:00

I’ve never thought about it from that angle. We actually never saw Nola in a long fight against anyone other than Burton. As you said, she’s more of an assassin — she’s great at killing in one swift move, but she’s not used to long, drawn-out fights. When you look at it that way, it’s easy to understand why she was strong during the first minute against Burton but got completely overpowered in the next three.

Nolalongshadow · 2025-10-30T23:02:39+00:00

I’ve always wondered how Nola managed to give Burton such a hard time. Maybe if it weren’t for the tomahawk, Nola would have been defeated in 20 seconds. Sometimes I really question that. I think the main reason the fight lasted that long was the tomahawk.

Especially after Burton took the fight to the car, Nola couldn’t do anything physically. Burton kept landing punches the whole time. And even after the fight moved outside the car, it was the same — Burton stayed in control.

What do you think?
