Sozen vs Kuroi

[Sozen Kuchiki]

You can place money wagers below.

Ill start this off: 300,000 Ryo on Kuroi. Now, lets be honest here, both characters have accomplished some big feats and are practically equals, although both of them won't admit it. Some can argue Sozen has the advantage surely because he managed to single handily kill the vizard leader Zouma and a few other notable npcs; Kuroi though has had the reputation of being the best and has crushed numerous players and npcs alike. This fight reminds me of the simulation battle between Byakuya and Grimmijow, where the espada had overcome the shinigami captain through pure fighting instinct, the burning passion of combat, the strive to win. Going against Adalo proved that Kuroi has the fighting drive and need to win attitude that I just feel Sozen lacks. Advantage: Kuroi.

50,000 Ryo on Kuroi. I feel like his domes, HSR and swordsmanship will be able to keep Sozen from being able to easily proc his ability, and his powers in general are better suited to this battle.

I will bet all of my money on Kuroi. Merely because Sozen could never defeat Adalo. But I am not certain I could beat Kuroi right now. Therefore Kuroi must be the superior foe.

[Hokori Kuchiki]

250,000 Ryo on Sozen. Now my logic here is pretty sound, three unique points. First, people constantly underestimate Sozen and Kento. He's done a lot of great things, and people seem to forget that even with people's help he's been able to solo great feats of strength. Second, although Kuroi stomps a lot of the Gotei, I can think of no other equal to Zou that works for the Shinigami side of this site. Although Adalo is the strongest Arrancar, and Royce is considered Zou's equal on the site, but Kento is also considered to be a great equal as well. Even if Zou won't admit it. Third and finally, this is another stomp down to Kuroi, however to Sozen (Kento) this is a serious matter, taking down a legend in his own right. So good luck to both, but... kick his ass Sozen! >=D

Just pointing out the fact that no one fucking underestimates Sozen. I don't know what the fuck Taka is smoking, but he's widely acknowledged as literally the 2nd strongest RPC captain in the Gotei 13, second only to Enma. He's never once been labeled weak. What the fuck, Taka? Who the fuck underestimates him?

[Axis Recio]

Clock wanted me to bet all of Franz's money on Sozen. He said.

[Hokori Kuchiki]

Are you freaking kidding me? You're underestimating him right now, Sozen is as strong as Kuroi. That's why i think people underestimate him, Royce and Jason both are both underestimating him. So, again. Are you freaking kidding me?

[Zieg Revolver]

Its not that I am underestimating Sozen, Taka, I already stated that both him and Kuroi are equals. Im not saying that Kuroi is going to dominate Sozen and vis versa; im saying, when its all said and done, Kuroi is going to be the victor. Royce's statement, though it is a bit blunt, does make sense. Kuroi was able to beat Adalo two seperate times and fell to him the third time once Adalo improved his arsenal of techniques. Yes, Sozen has all those Kuchiki techniques, but the majority of them can be counteracted and fall in supremacy to Kuroi's techniques.

[Shade Kawada]

Thing is Taka, Sozen's techniques in large are countered by Kuroi's Cesar Del Vida. He won't be able to use release or any kidou. Where does that leave him? With nothing but his Hoho and physical techniques, and while yes, his techniques are quite good. Kuroi will always have the advantage in Cesar Del Vida due to his ability to use Cero.

[Kashmir De-Mona]

Sozen has less reiatsu, less variety, and less power. Kuroi can merely overwhelm Sozen as he does most of his other foes. If you read Kuroi vs Hinsshi, Hinsshi is overwhelmed as soon as Kuroi releases. He was able to fight on Kuroi's level and pressure him, but when Kuroi released the battle was over. If Kuroi releases against Sozen, then the battle will be over. In release Kuroi will be able to blitz Sozen with attacks which Sozen will not be able to match, while also reducing Sozen's power and increasing his own. I do not believe this even comes down to Cesar Del Vida.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

I guess that since that thread is over now the bets are considered won/lost?

[Zieg Revolver]

Yep, I believe Satsu has already deducted/added ryo to those who have lost/won their bets.

[Kashmir De-Mona]

I received great financial compensation for Taka's humiliating defeat.

[Shade Kawada]

It's not even the fact that Sozen lost that anyone cares about. It's the fact Taka lost the bet. xD
