Xorn (Grandia III) vs Ced (Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War) - So...Ced is Sety? I could have voted on that for a while. Xorn smashes, job done
. Bosses ftw
Heavy
Hugo (Suikoden III) vs Makoto Niijima (Persona 5) - ...so...yeah. Queen should lose this under my interpretations or if you don't assume the Endure effect. Queen can equip a fire resistance protector, which will make her 97% durability, 118% vs. fire (all before Rakukaja). This makes only Hellfire any danger, and Hugo gets one shot of that which isn't terribly impressive (and makes him lose a charge of Funeral Wind which he wants). He wants Funeral Wind which is...very accurate, apparently, at 80%. You could argue Queen has some resistance to it, but...no. She halves curse, but that's only 1/5 of the ID sources in the game, and she's arguably weak to 3 of them (Eternal Rest, Ghastly Wail, and despair) since they're ailments and her Lu is poor. Having said that, she blocks sleep - yes, there are limited quantities of the storebought items, but they restock monthly, and as long as you buy the Sleep Gem no later than September, you'll be able to get enough to outfit a whole party. That's ignoring itemization, which is pretty reasonable since there are a ton of accessory materials. So Hugo hits her with Funeral Wind on his second action, inflicts ID. If you don't allow Endure, then...he wins. I kind of see the point in not allowing it, but I allow it - if you assume persona evolution, she can't not have it in-game, and it's a legitimate benefit you use in-game. If you assume Endure...Hugo has a lot of trouble, unless you're like me and allow storebought anything (including runes) for Suikoden characters. Then he spams L1 Pale Gate and kills with ID again. Without that...it's close. If you assume Yellow Scarf gets all ailments (what were Suikoden statuses again?), then Queen has to basically kill in 1 action which probably isn't happening. Hugo is kind of weak against magic (96% HP, -14% magic resistance), so shock + Atomic Flare would actually kill. As would 2 Atomic Flares assuming Hugo got brainwashed or something and couldn't use his runes for 2 actions. Accuracy and evasion is something that also can make a difference here - Queen has some, but Hugo has a lot more, and all things in P5 are evadable, so she needs to get lucky to hit him with an ailment (or go Judge of the Dead, and they both have 40% evasion or so, but she's more accurate). So that evasion...plays a role, but how much depends on your other interpretations. So yeah...this is a bit of a good fight, honestly, depends on your views of a lot of things, but mine push Hugo up top here

Middle
Kevin Graham (The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky The 3rd) vs Seena (Lufia: The Legend Returns) - SOME DAY. But Seena's boss form probably wins
Light
Seneca (Suikoden Tactics) vs
Mint Adenade (Tales of Phantasia) - Boss form!
