### Akuma VS Kenpachi Zaraki (Street Fighter VS Bleach)

In the third episode of One Minute Melee, Akuma stood in the way of Kenpachi Zaraki as he was walking in a forested mountain area. He tells him to move, only for the former to challenge him to a fight. Towards the end, Kenpachi tries to finish Akuma, but Akuma blocks the attacks, disarms him, and ends the battle by launching Kenpachi into the air, whipping him with a Demon Armageddon, and kicking him so hard that he gets launched into the distance.

### Oni VS Kenpachi (Street Fighter VS Bleach)

Akuma was seen again in the first episode of Season 2 of One Minute Melee where he was standing on a snowy mountain. After Kenpachi was sent there after being sent flying by Akuma, he approaches him, telling him to prepare to die, only for Akuma to punch him in the face. Kenpachi took off the eyepatch, while Akuma transformed into Oni. Towards the end, Kenpachi performed the double handed kendo, and slices a mountain in half. Not to be outdone, Oni leapt into the air and punched Kenpachi's face with Misogi into the ground so hard, it set off a massive burst of lava that took up the missing half of the mountain, winning the fight again.

### Oni VS Kenpachi Round 3 (Street Fighter VS Bleach)

Much like in the previous episode, Kenpachi demolished the entire area by cutting down every single tree with his sword, and towards the end, he sliced off Oni's left arm and cut his right arm at the shoulder. At the end of the fight, Kenpachi performed a spinning attack to try and finish Oni, but Oni grabbed him with his remaining arm, and outright killed the Soul Reaper with Wrath of the Raging Demon and kicked him into a tree, bringing an end to the feud once and for all. Afterwards, Oni collapsed from exhaustion.
