Hyde vs Azrael

**Hyde vs Azrael** is a

## Interlude

**Gray**: No quiet badass lookin' like an anime character can't be complete unless he has outrageous spiky hair, two different-sized swords; one ridiculously big and the other being a former badminton racket that gets turned to a sword...

**Tsurugi**: And belts. Lots and lots of belts.

**Gray**: Hyde Li, the Badminton Vagabonds Captain.

**Tsurugi**: and Azrael, the Very Cracked Badminton Player. He's Gray and I'm Tsurugi.

**Gray**: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Badminton Game.

## Hyde Li

**Gray**: Before joining the Badminton Vagabonds years ago, a young kid whose life is melancholic was often abused and beaten on a daily basis by his people at Hollow City since childhood, especially his bullies. At some point in his life, he would eventually stand up against his very oppressive bullies and kill them, leaving him to be the man...well, kid, that he is today: Hyde Li.

**Tsurugi**: Black spiky hair with a patch of white, brooding personality and a mask to cover half of his face, Hyde has tragic backstory written all over him.

The Badminton Grand Tour Tournament takes place at Hollow City's Coliseum of Sorrow at nighttime during a rainstorm. In there,

## Results

### First Game

**Tsurugi**: Bullseye! Well, a difficult bullseye to achieve.

**Gray**: Hyde put up a tough fight, but Azrael had him outclassed.

**Tsurugi**: Likely due to the fact that while Hyde had six belts, Azrael had

**Gray**: Azrael's experience worth of playing countless badminton games had trumped Hyde's training and had consistently returned smash kill shots more easily.

**Tsurugi**: Even Azrael was capable of returning Hyde's Flick Smashes, just like how he returned Seth's smashes.

**Gray**: Sure, Hyde made some difficult shots that no badminton player can make, which is very impressive in and on its own, but Azrael is leagues above.

**Tsurugi**: Just enough to take Hyde down...and that was only a fraction of Azrael's real power. Hyde just burned out in the end b/c of his vast aggression getting in the way.

**Gray**: The winner is Azrael.

### Re-Match at Badminton Grand Tour Tournament Finals

**Tsurugi**: Whoa-ho-ho! How did that happen? I know Hyde did WAY better than last time and became the champion, but...I really seem to remember Azrael having this one in the bag.

**Gray**: I'm sure he could've won in the circumstances made for him, but since this year's Badminton Grand Tour Tournament took place at Hollow City, Hyde takes the victory AND homefield advantage, as well as the astonishingly improved mentality that's similar, if not, more enhanced than Azrael's thanks to his consistent training in and out of the Badminton Vagabonds group as a captain throughout the years.

**Tsurugi**: Azrael had

**Gray**: Their top strength feats paint this picture very, *very* clearly.

**Tsurugi**: But

**Gray**: Yes and No. While Hyde isn't able to return part of the shots Azrael made (probably b/c of laziness), he is able to move

**Tsurugi**: But what about the amount of belts they have? Aren't they-

**Gray**: Still the same...? Yes, the amount of belts they have are still the same, but their specials are what's important here.

**Tsurugi**: Like the Nitro Kill Shot from Azrael and Hyde's

**Gray**: Exactly. But while it's implied that Azrael knows how to use the ability, Azrael has never actually used it throughout his badminton journey. Even then, Hyde's
